Chapter 467 The Right Thing
The contest in the first quarter was like an encounter. The two sides knew each other from the three regular-season games and the report of the video analyst.

These information can only be used as a reference, not to be fully believed.Because of the lack of valuable intelligence, so more to see the player's on-the-spot performance.

The Heat played very well. They are not the strongest team in the Eastern Conference. After the success of the next game against the Pistons, the team's confidence was greatly boosted.

They can beat the 64-win Pistons, and they can beat the 70-win Timberwolves.

They have the Big Mac O'Neill, the Flash Wade, a group of veterans who will do anything to win, and the wily Pat Riley.They are not afraid of losing, they dare to fight their opponents desperately.

This team has assembled veterans with strong bones. For the championship, these old guys will do anything.In the first quarter, the combination of Wade and O'Neal made the Heat lead by 8 points.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves gradually found the feeling of the game and resumed the offensive and defensive rhythm of the regular season.

Even so, still deep into the trap of the Heat.The Heat stalled the game with a bunch of veterans.

At the end of the first half, the Heat walked into the dugout with a 9-point lead.

Sanders analyzed the problem with a serious expression: "Obviously, Miami wants to win this game. During the playoffs, we have not lost at home. The fans at the scene have full confidence in us. I hope you will not let them down. .”

"Coach, the first half was just a warm-up," Garnett said.

"Do you think so too?" Sanders looked at the other players.

Hardaway laughed and said, "Coach, what are the chances we'll beat our teammate to death in the third quarter?" Saunders looked at the assistant coach.

The assistant coach said: "25%, including the playoffs, 25% of our games are won in the third quarter." "So right? We're going to kill them in the third quarter." Hardaway said lightly say.

"It's good to have confidence. I hope you don't repeat the mistakes of the first half. If you continue to play with the state of the first half, this game will become extremely difficult." Sanders said in a deep voice.

Bai Jidong kept silent, his performance determined the upper limit of the Timberwolves.Normally, as long as Bai Jidong plays well, the Timberwolves play easily.

Combined with Bai Jidong's data in the first half, it is not difficult to see why the Timberwolves played so hard.Bai Jidong played 19 minutes in the first half and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

This kind of statistic can be said to be excellent for an ordinary starter, but he is Bai Jidong, and it is obviously unqualified to score this statistic in half time in such an important game as the finals.

Sanders turned to him, hoping he would say something.

"The smaller the goal, the smaller the mistakes." Bai Jidong said: "Coach, I think Shaq's strategy can be like this." "Are you sure?" Saunders did not expect Bai Jidong to be so bold.

Bai Jidong looked at Garnett: "KG, are you okay?"

"I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid of defending Shaq. How can you do this?" Garnett was very uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, I won't let Shaq eat you." Bai Jidong said, "You have to trust my defense." "I trust you, I did it!"

Garnett said stiffly: "I'll defend him, and it's up to you to help defend him."

"No problem, it will definitely prevent him to death." Bai Jidong will never forget how the Bulls dealt with O'Neal in the Eastern Conference finals in 96.

At that time, the Bulls were always defended by Rodman, Wennington, Longley and others against O'Neal.Jordan, Pippen, Hubble, and Bai Jidong took turns to assist in the defense.

Pippen did the most. Bai Jidong remembered how Pippen dealt with O'Neill.I am afraid that O'Neill will never forget the intensity of the defense.

Now, Bai Jidong wants to reproduce O'Neill's nightmare.

To do this, someone has to act as cannon fodder first.The most suitable candidate is undoubtedly Garnett.

Although it is a bit disrespectful to Garnett, anyone who faces O'Neal in a back-up state is cannon fodder.Garnett is already mentally prepared, and Bai Jidong is also ready to go.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Heat replaced Olowokandi with Nahimien, and the rest of the positions remained unchanged.

Bai Weidong called Garnett to pick and roll the ball, and O'Neal, who was facing Garnett, could only come out with Garnett.

Because Garnett has range, if he doesn't follow up, he will be sent to score.This is an old trick to deal with O'Neal. Although O'Neal's offense is strong, the defense is the same.

Garnett helped Bai Weidong block Posey. He was as light as a swallow, like a black panther, and ran back to the basket with lightning speed.

Garnett grabbed the ball with one hand, slashed to the basket, and scored beautifully.

After scoring the points, Garnett beat his chest and roared deliberately, provoking O'Neal.

O'Neill looked over coldly: "KG, you are doing something stupid."

"Shaq, it's not stupid at all." Garnett said: "I just do the right thing." "Good, very interesting."

O'Neill smiled coldly, with a bloody taste.Although the Sharks are old, the murderous aura of looking down on all insiders in the league is still there.

Seeing him like this made Garnett feel uncomfortable.The Sharks ran to the frontcourt, and their huge body stuck Garnett: "Is this the right thing?"

"Extremely correct!" Garnett replied forcefully. "Very good! Let's see how long you can be correct!"

O'Neal yelled, "Jason, give me the ball!"

Williams was a bit worried, because Bai Jidong was near O'Neal, and if he passed the ball at this time, he would easily fall into a double-team.Bai Jidong's double-teaming is no better than others, everyone who has met him knows it.

O'Neal is like this, if he doesn't pass the ball, the result may be even worse.After weighing the pros and cons, White Chocolate can only accommodate O'Neill.

The ball passed smoothly to O'Neal, who held Garnett with his butt and was about to hit back.On his flank, a shadow suddenly attacked.

O'Neal didn't even hear the voice of his teammates, and the ball in his hand was slapped off by a palm that appeared from nowhere.

Shark's eyes widened and he saw the man's face clearly: "White wolf!"

"Shaq, this is the right thing to do." Bai Jidong intercepted O'Neal's ball, and made a long pass to Hardaway who had already counterattacked ahead of time.

Hardaway was not fast, and Williams caught up with him.Hardaway laughed and ran into the restricted area with White Chocolate.

Hardaway, whose legs are already half useless, still has the heart to dunk. First, he caused a foul by White Chocolate's thugs, and then successfully dunked with both hands.

"Hahaha~~~ I'm so fucking tired of fast break layups. Starting today, I, Anfernee Hardaway, announce to the world that I will dunk once every game!" Hardaway yelled loudly.

Williams looked at him like a fool: "Who cares if you dunk or not?"

"Stupid young man, listen to the cheers, you don't care, the audience cares." Hardaway laughed.

Hardaway's trash-talking bombardment followed: "Aren't you ashamed? You can't even guard the old man." "Shut up, it was just an accident." Williams said.

"There are enough accidents that happened to you."

Don't look at Hardaway's gentle and personable manners at ordinary times, it really makes him spout trash talk, and he has a good appearance. After all, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. It is hard not to be assimilated with Bai Jidong for a long time.

"The right thing?" O'Neill remembered the words of Garnett and Bai Jidong.

"that's it?"

O'Neill recalled the long memories. The last time he was tossed about with help defense was ten years ago.

At that time, O'Neill shook his head and didn't want to continue to recall.

O'Neill glared, "White Wolf, if you think it's the same, you're wrong!"

"Shaq, if you think that you have changed a lot from the past, you are very wrong." Bai Jidong's words were ugly, "Some people can't get rid of their mistakes in their lifetime, and you are the representative of such people. "

"Very well, I hope you keep your eyes open to the end and see who hasn't changed!"

O'Neill said, "I hope you are not short-sighted, so that you can witness the failure of the whole plan." "There will be people who fail, but it is definitely not me." Bai Jidong never suffers from arguing.

Hardaway made a free throw and the point difference narrowed to 4 points.

Williams dribbled the ball halfway, and O'Neal was about to take a position.

Remembering the previous mistake, Williams hesitated.

He looked to Riley for his opinion.

Riley nodded slightly, approving O'Neill's approach.

With the approval of the coach, Williams felt no pressure and passed the ball to O'Neal with confidence.

O'Neal caught the ball with one hand, then turned to face the basket without turning his back.To Garnett's surprise, O'Neal took a risky bottom-line breakthrough.

Bai Jidong is attacking from the top line, if he succeeds in crossing the bottom line, Bai Jidong will not be able to double-team.

Garnett's reaction was quick and his speed could keep up, but he couldn't stop O'Neal's collision.

For anyone else, Garnett would have been stuck in the position and let him hit the wall.O'Neill is not an ordinary person, it doesn't matter if someone blocks him, just push him away.

Garnett, who was pushed away, was powerless to defend.

Imagine how shocking it would be for a behemoth like O'Neal to jump to the basket.

Simien was close in front of him, but he didn't dare to step forward to interfere.Because he knew that interference was unnecessary, and he might be caught by the referee for a foul.

With a roar, O'Neal jumped up like a bully, and slammed the ball into the basket violently.

"You are no different from everyone else, you are all soft bastards! You can't stand my impact!" O'Neill shouted arrogantly.

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "Shaq, this time is not bad, but can you play like this every time?" "As long as I want, I can play as many times as I want, because the person defending me is KG." O'Neill said disdainfully.

"What did you say?" Garnett asked impatiently.

"Don't be angry, I didn't mean to offend." O'Neill mocked: "Because the truth is always hard to hear."

Garnett was pissed off.

Bai Jidong walked to Garnett's side and said, "Don't mind, just call back."

"I know, I will make this fat pig realize its mistake!" Garnett, who was irritated, couldn't care less, "I will give you a pick and roll later, and I will kill them!"

"Okay!" Bai Jidong agreed.
