I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 77 Only two people double-team me, I have a lot of space here! (for collection)

Bucks vs. Lakers, this can be said to be the confrontation between the strongest teams in the East and West so far.

In the previous preseason, the Bucks lost to the Lakers, but now the Bucks have won their first ten games in a row, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

On the other hand, although the Lakers also won ten games, they lost to the Phoenix Suns.In that game, the Lakers were shot to death by the Suns.

This season, the Bucks' offensive ability is undoubtedly one of the best in the league.

In other words, it is not that the Bucks have no hope of defeating the Lakers. The chance of this possibility is actually not small.

However, in this game, the Bucks never thought about beating the Lakers purely on offense.

George Karl prepared a tactical drill during a video room meeting the day before the game.

The first task today is to rely on the inside players and strikers to strangle O'Neal, and try to weaken O'Neal's influence in the game as much as possible.

It is precisely because of this that He Li, who was injured after being rubbed by O'Neal in the preseason, will only bring a substitute in today's game, instead of confronting O'Neal head-on.

More than six minutes before the first quarter, He Li had been sitting on the bench watching the play.

As soon as the game started, the Bucks fell into a disadvantage.

The double-teaming of Joel and Anthony Mason didn't have much effect at first, and O'Neal could still score if he should.

At the same time, Kobe ignored Ray Allen from the outside and hit two goals through fadeaway jumpers.

The Bucks were once led by 6 points by the Lakers.

Just when He Li was warming up and getting ready to play, the big dog, who had been defended twice by Rick Fox, suddenly broke out and made two consecutive mid-range shots to help the Bucks chase 4 points in a row.

After that, Ray Allen and Cassell also hit jumpers one after another.

On the other hand, O'Neill was double-teamed with one iron and one cover, and was in a difficult situation.

Under this ebb and flow, the score gap between the two teams narrowed to 2 points.

At this time, the Zen master stopped sitting in meditation, and the Lakers took the lead in replacing players. Power forward Samaki Walker was replaced, and Robert Horry was replaced.

Zen Master seems to want to use Robert Horry to help share some of the pressure on O'Neal.

Seeing this, George Karl turned to He Li with a smile and said, "It's your turn to play!"

Although Robert Horry already has four championships in his hands, and the gold content of the championship is higher than that of O'Neal, he is no longer at his peak and is on the decline.

To say mascot might be an overstatement.

But in the regular season, pretending to be a pig, eating and waiting to die, that is definitely his true portrayal.

Of course, it is true that when the playoffs eat tigers and the god of death comes at the critical moment, it is true that the gods block and kill the gods.

Having said that, now is the regular season, Horry should eat and drink what he should, and it is not an exaggeration to bring a thermos to work.

George Karl has been studying the Lakers for a while, and naturally knows Horry's situation well.

He Li playing against a veteran like Horry should have good results.

For this reason, George Karl directly replaced Cassel, Big Dog and Anthony Mason to free up the ball for He Li.

And continuing to keep Ray Allen on the court also requires Ray Allen to help open up space and limit Kobe.

As for who will limit O'Neal?Isn't Joel still there?If you can't defend against O'Neal alone, won't you foul?

Closer to home, when He Li played, the ball was in the hands of the Lakers.

Alston was eager to perform after playing, so he guarded Fisher strictly. Fisher passed the ball, but he didn't pass it to Kobe, but passed it to Fox.

Fox hit the iron with a three-pointer, Kobe saw it and stomped anxiously: "There are only two people double-teaming me, I have a lot of space here, why don't you give me the ball!"

O'Neill also felt reasonable after hearing this: "Now you are alone defending me, why don't you give me the ball!"

Fisher was male on the left and right, with an extremely ugly face, while Fox on the side took the opportunity to slip away, bah, back to defense.

Next, the Bucks' attack was very simple, hand the ball to He Li.

The Lakers pay attention to He Li, and it seems that He Li was analyzed before the game.

Even if He Li hit the rookie wall, the Lakers still chose to double-team after He Li received the ball.

Facing the double-teaming of Fox and Horry, He Li chose the safest way of attack-skyhook.

Although the mid-range skyhook hit rate will be lower than the long-range skyhook, but the skyhook is indeed a magic skill for breaking double-teams and ignoring defense.

He Li took the lead to take off and cast a skyhook, and then Huo Li also took off to block the block. He Li took the opportunity to use the elbow and arm of his auxiliary hand to lean on Huo Li's shoulder, so as to jump higher, so that Fox beside him could not cover him.

At the same time, Huo Li in front of him was also suppressed by He Li, so he couldn't jump higher and couldn't block He Li.

He Li's auxiliary hand is suspected of an offensive foul, but the skyhook auxiliary hand separates the defensive player's blocking hand, or slightly touches the defensive player's body, which are all reasonable actions.

Of course, it is within the scope of whether the auxiliary hand presses the person can be blown or not. In the end, it still depends on the strength of the referee's penalty.

He Li also wanted to see how he, a rising star in Nike, looked on the whistle.

"brush--"

He Litian hit the hook, and there was no whistle, only cheers.

Obviously, He Li's skyhook aroused memories of Lakers fans.

Coincidentally at this moment, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stood up excitedly from his seat and applauded He Li himself.

"Is this the inheritance?"

"It would be great if He Li was a Lakers player!"

"Congratulations to Karim's successor!"

"Don't forget, the Bucks are just a small ball market! In the future, everything is possible!"

The Lakers home fans were quite optimistic. After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took the lead in applauding, the scene applauded.

After being hit by He Li, Horry picked up the ball and was about to serve on the sideline.

However, after seeing the atmosphere at the scene, Horry, who is full of emotional intelligence, did not rush to serve the ball. It took 5 seconds to serve, so it would not be a violation so quickly.

Almost 3 seconds later, the Lakers re-launched a new round of offensive.

This time Fisher worked diligently and passed the ball to O'Neal according to the script.

But I don't want He Li and Tim Thomas to choose to defend around the front and cut off the passing route of Fisher and O'Neal.

Tim Thomas actually stole the ball first, but when he saw He Li also running over, he took the initiative to avoid and left the ball to He Li to handle.

He Li turned to pass the ball to Alston, and Alstom made a fast break and scored two points for a layup.

So far, the Bucks turned defeat into victory and overtook the Lakers by two points.

After Kobe realized something was wrong, he had a sobering conversation with Fisher.

On the next offense, Kobe received a pass from Fisher, faced Ray Allen and Tim Thomas' double-team, and completed the shot.

The result is naturally a fairly successful blacksmithing!

Kobe Bryant made 2 of 2 shots before. This shooting percentage is obviously problematic, but now it is much more reasonable.

It is said that after Kobe hit the iron, O'Neal was very happy, because O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound, then sat away from Joel, and then made an extremely brutal dunk on Joel's head.

"Big dog, big dog, big dog!"

Lakers fans yelled "big dog" at O'Neal!
He Li understood that this was not calling Glenn Robinson, but calling Shaquille O'Neal, the "boss" of the Lakers!
In English, dog is a commendatory term, and big dog means boss, big shot, and leader.

Therefore, after Kobe drove O'Neal away, not only domestic fans called Kobe "boss", but the Lakers' home fans also called it that way.

While enjoying the cheers of the Lakers fans, O'Neal retreated to the defense, while Kobe gritted his teeth, accelerated to overtake O'Neal, and took the lead in completing the defensive position.

Next, the Bucks re-launched the offensive. Alston first passed the ball to Ray Allen, and Ray Allen looked for an opportunity to distribute the ball to He Li.

He Li faced Huo Li alone, not to mention a straight arm hook in the middle distance.

Huo Li: "Young man, don't you talk about football ethics, are you just bullying me, an old comrade?"

He Li hit the hooks one after another, boosting the morale of the Bucks and sweeping away the psychological pressure created by O'Neal's dunks on the Bucks players.

In the next round, the Lakers re-attacked, Fox was also defended by Tim Thomas, and the Lakers added another iron.

He Ligang grabbed the rebound, but was slapped mercilessly by Horry.

"Shaquille, do you think I can hit it?"

O'Neill was suddenly cueed by He Li, and his expression changed drastically: "Hold your ball, brat!"

"Believe it or not I can cast with my eyes closed?"

Before O'Neal could reply, He Li closed his eyes and shot a free throw.

Swipe and hit the ball.

O'Neill also chose to close his eyes.

After He Li received the referee's pass, He Li closed his eyes and made a free throw again, swiped, and the second ball was also hit.

O'Neill felt humiliated by He Li, and in the next round he asked for a low position, planning to score one under He Li's nose.

He Li saw O'Neal dodging in front of Joel, but he was not in a hurry to hook or layup, so He Li guessed what O'Neal was thinking.

Without further ado, He Li went up and slapped O'Neill's fat buttocks.

O'Neal was dumbfounded, and the referee was stunned for a moment before blowing his whistle to signal O'Neal to go to the free throw line.

Before O'Neal scolded He Li, He Li complained first: "I told you to pretend not to make a layup. If you have the ability, you can score two points with free throws!"

Duang!

"Don't be angry, I'm not angry!"

Duang!

"What am I..."

Next, the Bucks continued to attack, and the Lakers mainly defended Ray Allen and He Li.

Alston passed the ball to Tim Thomas, but Tim Thomas made a fake pass and after attracting the defense, he chose to pass the ball to He Li.

Seeing that He Li took off and shot Horry, O'Neal couldn't help but rushed out from the basket, and took off to block He Li.

Seeing this situation, He Li withdrew his hand temporarily, then assisted the ball to stabilize the ball, and then pulled out his hand dryly.

The ball was a little unstable, and it bounced twice on the basket, but He Li was lucky, and the ball still scored.

"Why are two people double-teaming me! I have a lot of space here! Shaquille, you say so!" He Li proudly said to O'Neill.
