Healing Basketball

Chapter 165. 165. Starting with O'Neal

The atmosphere in the Rose Garden arena is very noisy.

The Trail Blazers vs. Lakers game is about to start.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup was adjusted. Liu Xiu, who played two starts, was put back on the bench. Derek Anderson, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, Rasheed - Wallace's starting lineup debut.

The Lakers sent a combination of Payton, Kobe, Fox, Malone, and O'Neal.

At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the game and tossed the ball into the air.

Sharks out!Overwhelm Tianzun to win the jump ball!
This picture is outrageous!

A player weighing 147 kilograms can actually touch the ball one point faster than Roaring Tianzun, who is known for his running and jumping ability at his peak.

Liu Xiu was startled, shook her head, and focused on observing the game.

Prepare for yourself to play, but also help your teammates find a way.

Payton pushed the ball to the frontcourt and lobbed it to O'Neal who was leaning on Tianzun under the basket.

The hearts of the fans at the scene were all hanging, boos crazily.

The last time they played against the Lakers, in November last year, they were still at home, and they were beaten by the Lakers.

O'Neal received the ball, heard the guilt and fear in the boos of the fans on the scene, was very proud, and hit it with all his strength!
Without any suspense, Tianzun was knocked back a big step.

The position is right, O'Neill's second hit hits, this time with six to seven points of force, and the preparations for turning around and buckling are ready...

"Hey... Leak Leow..."

O'Neill took two steps back and sat in the reasonable collision zone, Tianzun withdrew his chair!

The timing is just right, even O'Neill, who has played for more than ten years and has experienced all kinds of defenses, has suffered!
This trick is a bit vulgar, but it fits Tianzun's appearance and temperament very well, and the fans immediately screamed excitedly!

All flat sand and Luoyan's buttocks landed on the ground, and O'Neal naturally couldn't control the ball.

Randolph and Malone rushed to grab the ball.

Compared with brute force, Randolph is really not afraid of Malone. As a defender, he is closer to the basket, grabs the ball, and picks up a steal!

Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.

Randolph caught the ball at close range, facing a shark with fire in its eyes.

The two men are really similar in size, but the shark is a huge version of the butcher.

Just learn from the rookie a few days ago...

Randolph leaned over, put his hands on the ball on his right waist, made a breakthrough, took a few steps with his left foot, then slapped the ball, stepped back, took a big step away from the short distance, took off, and shot ...

O'Neill jumped up, but he didn't make a full throw. With rich experience, he knew that it would be difficult to continue to interfere if the cap was not enough.

He looked at the arc of the ball's flight, and based on his experience with a player with the thirteenth pick who did not want to be named, he predicted that the ball would bounce towards him and then bounce back. Take the board.

As expected of a master of receiving assists, O'Neill successfully predicted the direction in which Randolph's hammer came out.

but……

"bang"

"boom"

Looking at Tianzun who was hanging on the basket for a second before falling down, O'Neill was dumbfounded.

The fans at the scene went crazy!
Tianzun rushed into the inside line, and after the ball hit the basket and popped out of the basket cylinder, he pressed the ball back immediately.

Tianzun supplemented the score!

This defense and attack greatly boosted the morale of the Trail Blazers!
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu jumped up and cheered excitedly.

Tianzun rushed to the sidelines before retreating to give Liu Xiu a high-five, shouting at each other: "Basketball doesn't lie!"

After Tianzun roared and retreated quickly, Liu Xiu sat down, took a deep breath, leaned on the bench, and resumed his lazy look.

"Warden, is this your idea?"

Liu Xiu turned his head and saw the overly scribbled coach sitting next to him.

The usual smile resumed on his face, and Liu Xiu responded, "Yes, the pressure the Lakers have put on us is too great, we need a goal like this, but I don't know if it will be Tianzun himself. Thought they were going to create an opportunity for the fanatics."

"If you make such a request, Rashid will definitely come by himself. Don't forget that he is one of the best players in the NBA.

But in this case, we will meet the wrath of the big shark. "

Maurice Cheeks said so, but the scribbled and rough face was full of malice.

Liu Xiu responded: "Oh, I didn't think of this, my God, what should I do?"

His mouth matched the coach's bad taste, but Liu Xiu's body was doing different movements - he rubbed his back on the back of the chair and adjusted his sitting posture more comfortably.

Seeing this, Morris Cheeks imitated Liu Xiu and leaned back on the chair, adjusting the most comfortable position.

On the court, Randolph and Tianzun have begun to be ravaged by the big shark in turn, and the big shark vented his anger on the two.

97 ability evaluation?
This is just O'Neill's overall performance rating in recent times.

At the beginning of the game, O'Neal's performance, which was full of energy, was absolutely top-notch!

The pace of the game on the court was very slow. At 3 minutes and 58 seconds into the first quarter, Payton caught a three-pointer and fell off the baseline. The ball was dead, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout!
O'Neal started this wave of onslaught, 4 of 3 shots, and two 2+0.

Compared with other superstars, O'Neal has a BUG advantage-no need to consider the touch!

Even if the two free throws were ironed, he still scored 75 points and 6 rebounds with a 2% shooting rate.

Moreover, in these few rounds, the rest of the Lakers only need to do one thing-defense hard on the defensive end.

The rest of the offense only needs to catch and shoot the ball and nothing else needs to be done.

The last time they played against the Lakers was like this. O'Neal started alone, and the rest of the Lakers defended hard, playing a 9-5 start in the half quarter.

But this time is a bit different. O'Neal scored 6 points in singles, Kobe scored a sideline three-pointer after receiving a Fox setter, and the OK team scored 4 points in nearly 9 minutes, but only had a 2-point lead!

The current score is 9 to 7!

Facing the strong Lakers, the Trail Blazers relied on hard work to bite the score!

As mentioned earlier, the last time he played against the Lakers, O'Neal started with the posture of trying to swallow the Trail Blazers alive.

In other words, regardless of whether Tianzun has the one defense and one attack that hit the big shark's face, the big shark will ride on their heads and show off.

Playing a strong team inside, the Lakers like to crush the opponent where the opponent is strongest.

There are big sharks, just dare to be so crazy.

At this time, it is very useful for Tianzun to withdraw the chair and make up the buckle at the beginning of the game.

Activate the enthusiasm of teammates!Ignite the fighting spirit of teammates!Dispel the fear of teammates!
After a wave of hard work, now, the Trail Blazers players found that although O'Neal's start was so brutal that it made people panic, they were not really behind!

At this time, the Trail Blazers players remembered what the coach said when they were preparing for the game, and those things they had forgotten because of tension, pressure, and fear that they did not want to admit——

Last time they played so poorly, they were only 5-9 behind in half a quarter.

There was a thousand miles behind, purely because of his confidence being beaten by O'Neill.

Hang in there, they have a chance!
……

Back from the timeout, both teams performed lineup rotations.

The Trail Blazers replaced Randolph and the outlaws with Dale Davis and Miles.

The Lakers replaced Malone with Horace Grant and Payton with Fisher.

The game continued. Although the Lakers replaced both Malone and Payton, they had more initiative on the court.

Zen master made a good adjustment. It is known that O'Neill is stimulated and will play harder at the beginning, so it is better to start the OK combination directly, so that Payton and Malone can recharge their energy for the next time.

As for the Trail Blazers, the outside offense did not play well in the opening stage.

With O'Neal at the basket, although Randolph can't move, he is also a threat of eating cakes. Randolph's threat is much greater than that of Dell Davis, and the threat of rushing is also much higher.

O'Neal is willing to defend tonight and is willing to make up for close range or even mid-range, which caused big trouble for the Blazers' mid-range and short-range offense.

However, the Trail Blazers played really hard. Dale Davis played very actively. He was fouled once and made two free throws.

At 6 minutes and 44 seconds of the first quarter, O'Neal grabbed an offensive rebound and caused a foul, the ball was dead, and an official timeout was entered.

The score was 16 to 13, and the Lakers led the Trail Blazers by 3 points.

O'Neal missed two more free throws, but this... O'Neal went 4-for-1 in the start tonight, and no one took the 'virtual score' as a score.

The traditional tyranny is really not to be underestimated——Zen Master thought in his heart when he watched the Blazers players who became more and more courageous.

But he remained calm.

As long as OK + Payton + Malone are here, he is not afraid of anyone!
The Zen master rotated the lineup, and the combination of Payton, Kareem Rush, Kobe, Malone, and O'Neal was replaced.

On the other side, the Trail Blazers also carried out a second wave of rotation.

The combination of Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Randolph, and Spantonia came on stage.

……

After the timeout, Liu Xiu walked onto the field and chose the copy object.

"The great magician:
...

Opponent: Kobe Bryant, copying talent: physical stamina, bonus effect: whenever the host has a significant decline in physical strength, you can pick up the collar of the jersey, and the physical strength will quickly recover to a level that will not affect the host's technical actions; Whenever the host completes a round of offense or defense, it can pick up the jersey, and the physical impact of the attack or defense just now will quickly fade away, and the mind will quickly calm down. "

coming!

The real competition without physical strength is here again!

O'Neal executed a free throw, Liu Xiu came to the right side of the three-second zone, Spantinia and Randolph were under the basket, and Malone and Kobe were rushed by the Lakers.

Malone was fighting with Randolph, but Kobe did not go to fight with Spantina, but put his arm against Liu Xiu who came to his side to grab the rebound.

The other party is the evil little black hand superstar, Liu Xiu is under a lot of pressure... and immediately returned an elbow.

Compared with Kobe's secret poking, Liu Xiu's actions were direct and rough, and the referee blew his whistle... No technical foul or foul was called, and Liu Xiu was given a verbal warning.

The fans didn't know what was going on, the timeout had just ended, the free throws hadn't even started, their attention wasn't on the court.

The first reaction of fans who watch more football is to look at the big screen.

The on-site director is very good, cut to the shot that captured the details just now, and played back...

Seeing what happened, the fans at the scene started to cheer for Liu Xiu + scold Kobe angrily.

What Liu Xiu thought was - fight!
3000 healing value is not needed.

The warden exchanged Kobe Bryant one-on-one, how about a blood profit?

But Kobe continued to prepare for the rebound as if nothing happened.

Liu Xiu learned it!
You have to have a thicker skin!

But it's not his warden's style to take the initiative to find a fight.

He has always advocated self-defense.

After a delay, the referee blew the whistle to continue the game and O'Neal made a free throw.

The first penalty...in!
The second free throw was decisively missed. Randolph stuck Malone to death, but Spantinia couldn't stop Kobe from going around the baseline behind, but Liu Xiu took the lead to protect the defensive rebound.

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, and before he reached the three-point line, he saw Kobe coming up, spouting.

Without giving Kobe a chance to speak clearly, Liu Xiu directly gave the ball to Little Flying Squirrel, ran to the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone, and started the breakout + assist control style of play.

Liu Xiu slipped the bottom line under cover... a mistake.

Even the little flying squirrel dared not rush in!
O'Neill stood on the reasonable collision zone, covering the entire three-second zone, and there was no need to take care of Liu Xiu, who cut the bottom line.

The little flying mouse rushed to the free throw line, and Kobe, who was chasing and defending Liu Xiu, could stop at a position one step outside the reasonable collision zone to help defend the little flying mouse who rushed to the free throw line in the middle.

Little Flying Squirrel made a quick decision, retreated, and singled out Payton from the outside!
Payton is under a lot of pressure. He has been afraid of these small guards so far in his career.

I still remember that in the 1995 playoffs, the sophomore Fan Crazy averaged 50 points per game with 24.8% shooting on his head. If it weren't for the old handsome Schramf who scored 1 points in a single quarter in the last quarter of G16, they would have won the Supersonics. The team was almost swept by the Lakers.

The Lakers also know Payton's defect, but the top arc is the most difficult position for one-on-one singles.

Did not disappoint his teammates and opponents, Payton really did not keep up with the pace, the little flying mouse changed direction + pulled horizontally, and the sudden stop of the horizontal stride made a long two-point shot...

The opportunity is good, but unfortunately the ball is obviously wide when it is thrown!

O'Neill reacted sharply, immediately stuck Spantinia, who was nearly 130 kilograms, Malone stopped the rushing Randolph, and Kobe blocked the outlaws.

The attitude and enthusiasm of the Lakers is worthy of the No. 34.6 team in the league in defensive rebounds per game with 1 defensive rebounds.

At this time, a small player was ignored. He quietly slipped behind the big fat man who was stuck in Spantonia, eager to try.

Just like Tianzun believes in Sharks so much, even though Sharks has never won the rebounding champion, his basketball sense of smell is definitely at the forefront of the league.

This time, the big shark judged the right position again.

After Spantinia got stuck, he withdrew, and O'Neill stood on tiptoe without any pressure, and closed the board...Suddenly, there was an impact from behind, and O'Neill, who was on tiptoe, staggered forward.

Immediately afterwards, O'Neill felt nearly a hundred kilograms of pressure on his back...'Kobe? '

"boom"

The ball that popped out of the basket was pushed back into the basket by a white hand!
The scene was quiet for a while, and then watching the warden who sat down on the ground after landing, immediately got up and ran to the backcourt, the scene went from quiet to manic in an instant, and the whole arena was boiling!
