In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 180 Lonely Ao Pang, halftime is over
It was analyzed a long time ago that although O'Neal is full of dominance, his configuration of teammates is as high as that of James. It is not just to find a few so-called superstars for him, and he can win the championship.He needs to have a star who can attack and defend on the perimeter as a partner, as can be seen from Kobe to Mr. Nine Points.

But the current Kobe is like what I said before. Although he has entered the All-Star for two consecutive seasons, he really has not reached the point of total defense. It may be possible next season.This season is hopeless.Because O'Neal doesn't need the kind of outside line that rushes in with a dynamite bag, he needs someone to open up space for him on the outside line, so that he can ravage wantonly in the inside line, and now Kobe can't do this. Among their opponents in the Western Conference playoffs, there is no Zhang Tian who has such an excellent combination of offense and defense in the second and third positions. Pippen in the Western Conference Finals, his main goal is Glenn Rice, not Kobe. Wait until he reacts It's too late to come here.So it can't be counted.

The other players of the Lakers were dissatisfied. Although O'Neal and Kobe involved a lot of defensive attention in the first quarter, they also had the ball in their hands. The team took 22 shots in the first quarter. 14 times, the other people did not add up to half, so Shaq's words are obviously throwing the blame.

As a very sensitive person, Kobe would not admit defeat. No matter who he was, he wanted to defeat him. This is Kobe's philosophy of life.But I played badly in the first quarter, so there is really nothing to say.

In the second quarter, the substitutions of both sides were not very large. Glenn Rice returned to the starting lineup. Zen Master hoped that Rice could attract Zhang Tian's attention and let Kobe survive, but Zhang Tian didn't do it at all because he remembered very well. It is clear that in this finals, Rice is completely a dog. A starting third position averaged only 11 points per game. As a shooting existence, he only shot 40.00% from the field. He is lower than him, 36, but Zhang Tian still does not intend to let Kobe go. If you want to ask why, you can only say that Rice is not as good-looking as Kobe.

So in the second quarter, a very interesting scene appeared in the Lakers offense. Kobe broke through Reggie Miller, Zhang Tian ignored Glenn Rice and still went to help defend, Kobe passed the ball to Rice this time, Rice received When he got the ball, he didn't expect it, but when Zhang Tian saw Kobe passing the ball, he immediately returned to the defense. The Lakers' third position did not expect Zhang Tian's return to the defense so fast. He didn't dribble, so he chose to rush in. As a result, Dan Crawford gave a walk.

Kobe's face turned black again, and O'Neal was also vomiting blood from anger inside. Just now, Cato slapped himself again in a corner where the referee couldn't see. After Battelle went down to rest, this guy came up. His defensive strength was not as good as Battelle's. Big, but there are so many small moves, why the hell are there so many sluts in the Pacers.

Travis Best bounced and dribbled the ball to the Lakers half. Fisher had already rolled up his trouser legs and strode in front of him, but the former didn't seem to see it, with a whoosh, The ball flew into the hands of Zhang Tian on the left, and Rice posted it recklessly. He knew very well that he was so unfavorable on the offensive end, so he had to save face on the defensive end. As the saying goes, good offense depends on talent, and defense depends on it. Attitude, such a simple thing, can you still do it well?
Rice's attack made Zhang Tian take a step forward instead. He switched the ball to the other hand and slapped it on the floor. With Rice as the axis, he turned around and passed the Lakers' third position. The second position came over, Zhang Tian did not challenge Kobe, who had a max anger value, but passed it back to Reggie Miller, Travis Best entangled Xiaoyu, making it impossible for the Lakers backup guard to assist Defense, Kobe's return to defense is not slow, but Reggie Miller took the ball without stopping for a second, swiped, and the ball scored again. Pacers No. 31 continued his fiery touch.

Larry Bird clapped his hands on the sidelines. In the first two quarters, his golden guns were still unrivaled. Although the inside O'Neal was a bug, he could only score two points in one sports game.

Rice did not commit a crime, because he had no chance at all, the ball was basically in the hands of O'Neal, and the Lakers No. 34 became the point guard.

O'Neal got the ball in the low post, Cato resisted his lower plate, Da Ben came in front of him, and the big shark was caught in the middle, but the shark still forcibly turned around relying on its superhuman athleticism, and it was in Cato's hand. Completed a dunk on the head,
The two-person attack is no longer useful to O'Neal during this period of time. He is no longer the naive center when he played against Mosaic in the finals. The opponent has grown too much in the past few years.

O'Neal continued to use the Western Chu overlord posture to keep the Lakers' hope of victory, but the Zen master on the sidelines still couldn't laugh, because Kobe and Glen Rice have not opened their mouths so far, especially Kobe.

I positioned Kobe as a new generation of Pippen, but Pippen can't just hit the iron and not score. In the entire second quarter, Kobe only took one shot. Under Zhang Tian's interference, he didn't score. He is currently 7 in the first half. 0 in the middle, you read it right, it is 7 in 0.
Larry Bird allowed Kobe to experience in advance the situation in his previous life when he played in the 4 finals. In that finals, Kobe went to the left all the time, and had no chance to go to the right. The F[-] team was also called The "civilian" Pistons were swept ruthlessly. What's more interesting is that Billups and Big Ben are the absolute core of that Pistons, and they are currently members of the Pacers.

张天上半场14中10，砍下了23分，雷吉米勒13中7，也有18分入账，湖人那边奥尼尔则是拿到了全场最高的25分，但湖人半场仍然是以43:55的分数落后12分。

Although there was a gap between Zhang Tian and Miller, they did not bring this gap to the court, which is very rare in competitive sports. Many California media with malicious intentions wanted to use this incident to make a fuss, but now It seems that it can only be done.

Zhang Tian went to the locker room to rest, and met Zhang Lili, Yang Yi and his group. They didn't get interviews before the game, but they were preparing for interviews this time.

"Xiao Zhang, leading by 12 points at halftime, are you more confident about the second half?"

"Regarding this issue, Director Zhang, who has played basketball, should be very clear. At the moment when the final whistle is not blown in a basketball game, anything can happen. Although the Lakers are behind by 25 points, if we sit still, they I will catch up soon, so now is not the time to be happy." Zhang Tian was still very apprehensive about the original OK in front of him.In Zhang Tian's perception, O'Neal in the finals of these two seasons is undoubtedly the scariest.The [-] points in the half have already demonstrated this point. Facing the small double-team action of four muscles and sticks, there are very few centers in NBA history who can score such points.
