Chapter 290 Suffocating Defense

O'Neal is an unsolvable existence on the offensive end. Except for fouls, you can't stop him from scoring at all, but when he doesn't have the ball in his hand, it's not bad if he can play one-tenth of his power. To be honest, O'Neal's defensive ability can't be said to be a tail in the paint, but it can't be said to be good, and Li Lei has made Chandler ready to fight O'Neal.

However, the rebound didn’t land on the Bulls. Fisher picked it up from the far end. When Li Lei saw the opponent catch the ball, he immediately jumped up like a mad dog. The triangle offense is actually the same as other offensive tactics. They have high requirements for passing the ball. .

Fisher is the future chairman of the players union. In terms of drilling, among the current NBA players, it can be said that there are very few players who catch up with him, but he is positioned as a tool player in the Lakers team.

Li Lei stuck close to Fisher. The latter was heavier than Li Lei, but his height and wingspan were flawed, and Li Lei was very good at using this advantage to defend. Although it would consume a certain amount of energy, Li Lei knew very well that if he wanted to become a superstar, he had to balance both offense and defense.

"Derek, pass the ball, pass the ball." Zen master was on the sidelines, unable to sit still at all. He thought that the Bulls in this game would continue their poor performance against the Pacers in the previous game, but what they didn't expect was that this group of cucumbers adjusted so quickly, especially Li Lei. He obviously consumed the most energy in the previous game, but this game is still so indomitable.

Fisher looked at the time, and there was no time to pass the ball, so he could only throw the ball hastily. Li Lei predicted this, and with a bang, the ball was directly blocked. Donaghy was right next to the two of them. The ball was clean and did not touch hands, so the former did not call a foul or anything.

On the rebound, Richardson and Kobe started at the same time, but Artest blocked Kobe with his body very well. Richardson grabbed the ball and flew to the backcourt for another dunk.

The Zen master could only helplessly call a timeout. Unexpectedly, the Lakers encountered such a crisis at the beginning of the game. It is really not luck that the Bulls have performed like this this season.

"Derek, pay attention to your teammates. Don't panic. Your role is to serve Kobe and Shaq. You create offensive opportunities for them. We are a unit. You can't beat that guy with your individual ability."

Although Zen master likes to use superstars, he does not ignore the whole. Superstars alone cannot win. Zen master is very clear, so it is not accidental that he can win 11 championships. It is hard to say whether he can win so many in this life.

Fisher nodded. His basketball talent may not be very high, but there is absolutely nothing to say about emotional intelligence. Fisher did not give Li Lei any chance when he came back from the timeout. He asked Samaki Walker to call him a pick-and-roll this time. Blocking his breakthrough position, Kobe dribbled for a long time, but instead of a strong hit, he feinted and lobbed the ball to the inside. O'Neal dunked with a flat basket. Chandler, who was behind O'Neal, didn't even have time to foul.

Chandler's face was a little pale. He had prepared everything for this game, but when O'Neal came over, everything was still so unexpected.

"Tyson, it's okay. He's a shark, the number one center in the league. You and Elton can put as much physical pressure on him as possible." Li Lei knew very well that it would not be easy for the two of them to keep an eye on O'Neal.

The Bulls started to attack, and Li Lei came near the center line. He had a premonition that the Lakers would double-team him. When he got to the front, the person facing Li Lei became Kobe, not Fisher. It seemed that Zen Master really wanted to win. Let Kobe defend him. Kobe is currently the best perimeter defender of the Lakers.

Kobe did not post Li Lei, but took the position set up in front, waiting for Li Lei's next move.

"Did Kobe and Bruce face each other? This is the first time the two sides have faced each other. Who will win? It's really exciting."

Li Lei started Parker's breakthrough. In an instant, Kobe felt the threat of an attack. He leaned back a little, not wanting to let Li Lei pass by.

Rick Fox made up the defense at this time. Li Lei did not continue to break through, but hit the ground and passed the ball to Artest. The ball rubbed against Rick Fox's body and reached Artest.

"Beautiful, so beautiful. Bruce's combination of breakthrough and turning is great. Of course, what surprised us the most was his choice. Facing Rick Fox, he could actually play hard, but Bruce chose to pass the ball, and his teammates did not live up to Bruce's expectations. The Bulls are really not young at all."

Hubie Brown may have been infected by Rick Barry, and he also yelled loudly. Angie was the most silent of the three commentators. Those words before the game were all slapped in the face. Fortunately, he didn't agree to the bet with Rick Barry, otherwise he would really be finished.

Kobe glanced at Fisher and Samaki Walker, but did not speak. He knew very well that the current Lakers were not his own team, but these two guys were really irritating. They were natural colanders on the defensive end.

Throughout the first quarter, the rhythm was not very fast. Kobe scored 7 points in 3 of 7 in the first quarter, while Li Lei scored 4 points and 3 assists. He did not make too many shots in this quarter because his teammates played well. However, on the defensive end, Li Lei put a lot of pressure on the Lakers, and the Bulls took the lead.
