Chapter 58 (57) The power of F4

F4 originally referred to a Taiwanese artist group that was very popular in the mainland in the early 21st century.In the summer of 03, the Lakers recruited Payton and Malone on the basis of the OK combination to form a combination of four superstars. These four superstars were also dubbed F4 by Chinese fans.Speaking of historical status, these four are the top figures in the entire NBA's nearly 70-year history.Judging from the top 2016 superstars in NBA history rated by the famous media ESPN in 41, Payton, the lowest of the four, also ranked [-]st, and the other three ranked in the top [-], which can be described as superstars among superstars.

And these four are in a team, of course they are star-studded.Before Malone's comeback, the Lakers were only fifth in the West.After collecting F4, they lost the first game to the Timberwolves, and then won a wave of 9 consecutive victories. The winning streak also included the main competitors Timberwolves and Kings.The Lakers are currently in good morale and in good shape.

Facing the leader Rockets, even the Zen master dare not be careless.He carefully studied the video and made some targeted tactical arrangements.The grudges of last year's playoffs are still vivid. In the regular season, they fell behind 2:1 in a direct match. The Lakers players will not hold back the Rockets at all.This time, the players paid special attention to the coach's tactical arrangement, and wanted to defeat the Rockets in one go.

Tang Shuai also took great pains. The absence of Dameng and Wallace made the Rockets a little embarrassed inside.But Lao Tang thought about it again, the combination of Okur and Wang Zhizhi was effective in attacking O'Neal, you can try more.Considering this, he decided to start with Yao Ming and Bosh as a partner.

On April 4st, the Staples Arena finally ushered in the long-awaited heavyweight game.The media has designated this game as the focus of the live broadcast, and Chinese fans far away in the east are also eagerly waiting.

The battle between CTM and F4 officially kicked off.

Maybe it was a little nervous. Payton came up and made a dribble error under Chauncey's pressure, but Billups also missed a three-pointer.Back Malone also missed the shot under the interference of Bosh.

Yao Ming got the ball and singled O'Neal, and Fox circled around and wanted to cut the ball.Yao Ming found out in time and immediately passed the ball to McGrady. Fox was unable to defend and McGrady made a layup.

Kobe broke through Turkoglu's defense, but Yao Ming made up the defense and Kobe missed the basket.Billups grabbed the rebound to control the rhythm and slowly advanced. After settling down, he handed it to Yao Ming again for a single. Yao Ming turned around and scored 4:0 with a hook.

Malone hit Bosh with his back and turned over for a jumper.But the dexterous Bosh was quite fast, and immediately rushed to the ball with his fingertips.The ball bounced to the front of the basket, but unfortunately fell into Malone's hands again.Bosh blocked the shot too much and lost his position. Malone missed a layup but caused a foul by Yao Ming.The old horse made 2 of 2 free throws.

McGrady got the ball to organize, but many Lakers players used the defense around the front, cutting off McGrady's passing route.If you insist on breaking through, the deterrent power of the inside giant O'Neal is also sufficient.Seeing that McGrady didn't have a good chance, and 24 seconds were not much left, he had to ask Yao Ming to play singles again. This time, Yao missed a hasty shot.

Kobe broke through Turkoglu's defense with the ball again, Yao Ming stepped forward to help the defense again, Kobe avoided Yao Ming's rebound and passed O'Neal, O'Pang dunked successfully to tie the game 4-4.

There was a burst of applause in the venue, and the connection of the OK group was very popular among Los Angeles fans.If Yao Ming realized something, Kobe's last breakthrough was probably just a design to lure him, and this shot was the purpose.

火箭上来主打姚明的战术成效一般，很快麦迪就开启了得分模式开始接管比赛了。他连续投篮命中，首节8投7中还有一记三分砍下了15分。但火箭只以23：21稍稍领先。

Phil Jackson affirmed the performance of the Lakers in the first quarter: "Very good, everyone executed their tactics well in the first quarter. The most terrifying thing about McGrady is not his scoring ability but his organizational ability. He is a point guard with a height of more than 2 meters and has an extraordinary wingspan. The game should be our rhythm. One more point needs to be emphasized, Karl, listen carefully."

The Rockets players also feel good about themselves. Judging from past matches against the Lakers, as long as they come up and don't fall too far behind, they can often win, and the Rockets have an advantage when they come to the bench.In the second quarter, the Rockets maintained the starting lineup, but Bosh immediately felt something was wrong.

Karl Malone has well-developed muscles that are rare in the league, but he is a solid technical power forward.Especially in recent years, as he gets older, his tendency to make a living in the middle distance has become more and more obvious. He is very good at turning back and turning jump shots, pick-and-roll jump shots, and pull-up jump shots.Zen Master let him and the Sharks start together, and he also took a fancy to his excellent mid-range shooting ability, which can open up space for O'Neal.But here comes the problem, Bosh is tall and long, his arms are long and he moves fast, Malone's legs and feet are weak and his explosive power is weakened, so it is difficult to get rid of Bosh with his jumper.The Zen master woke him up during the break. To fight a skinny guy like Bosh, it is the last word to play with his back (Malone is 6 feet 9 and weighs 250 pounds; Bosh is 6 feet 11 and weighed only 225 pounds at the time).

Under the instruction of the Zen master, Ma Long immediately became enlightened.This veteran doesn't like to fight hard, but it's not that he doesn't know how to fight hard.If it weren't for the birth of Shi Fu Duncan, "The Postman" Malone might still be the number one power forward in history.He was just past the peak of Jordan, and he was naturally not afraid of a skinny rookie. Several times in singles, Bosh staggered again and again, and the Lakers quickly overtook the score.

Tang Shuai saw that something was wrong, so he immediately changed his formation, and Okur Wang Zhizhi appeared on the stage with a projection of the twin towers.The Rockets handed the ball to McGrady for singles, and other players pulled away from the weak side.The Lakers were already prepared for this. Malone followed up with Wang Zhizhi and went out. O'Neal simply guarded the basket to prevent McGrady from breaking through. Okur was ignored.

Zen master's move is also a helpless move. The Rockets' lineup is too strong in the use of space. Letting O'Neal defend it will definitely cause chaos in the three-second zone. It is better to simply put the weakest point of the shot.In contrast, Big Zhi Turkoglu and Billups are more accurate, so Okur had to be let go.Some blood loss is inevitable, anyway, O'Neal will fight back on the offensive end.

And this time Zen master was right. Okur felt mediocre, and only hit one goal in the next 3 shots.However, O'Neill and Malone singled out Okur Dazhi with ease.The point difference widened instead.Tang Shuai replaced Yao Ming again, barely holding up the situation.The score at the end of the first half was 42:50.

In the third quarter, the Rockets made adjustments again, McGrady and Parker dominated the running and bombing lineup.But the Lakers' bench rotation is not comparable to last season.Kobe was originally a physical superman. After the ball was shared by his teammates, he became more energetic, and he was still alive and well after playing half the game.O'Neal Payton went off to rest, and the remaining F2 could still effectively support the team's offense.In particular, Ma Long made Wang Zhizhi's defense useless, chopping vegetables and cutting melons to score points in singles.

Tang Shuai was a little embarrassed, and played the cards in his hand one by one, but the Lakers took them all with their superstar ability.This kind of non-moving and winning is like the constant ridicule of the Zen master.Is the superstar combination F4 really unsolvable?
　It's another year of college entrance examination, and I wish the students and book friends good results.Watch the football well during the holidays (although the finals are coming to an end--), and learn more knowledge, you can become a master of football.
