The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 558 O'Neill's Unhappiness
Brand became the brightest point of the Grizzlies performance, which no one thought before. According to countless experts before the game, he would be the weakest point of the Grizzlies in this game. As a result, Brand scored 20 points against O'Neal in a single quarter. The common problem of 90.00% players is that they are talented enough to make a fuss, but the consequence of this kind of toss will always be for you at certain moments. That kind of taste is really sour and refreshing, and the Zen master now deeply understands this.

The Lakers this season are unprecedentedly strong on paper, but so far, their performance has not satisfied the fans of the City of Angels, because even the Super F5 is still overwhelmed by the Grizzlies, and the performance of Malone and Glen Rice this season is really not worthy of the title of giant.

Brand scored 20 points in the first quarter, which also allowed the Grizzlies to enter the second quarter with an 8-point advantage. Kobe was the Lakers' best player in the first quarter. It can be seen that he was quite well prepared. Compared with O'Neal, he is obviously another extreme. Of course, this was before the incident of "Shaq did it too".

Kobe scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists against Wu Sheng in the first quarter. He was the main contributor to the Lakers not being directly thrown off by the Grizzlies.

Brand was very excited. This Duke University talent has been tepid this season. His crazy performance also embarrassed James Worthy in the commentary, because before the game, the number one bastard in the history of the Lakers, but just like the arguments of those experts, Brand will be hammered by O'Neal in this game. The person who was hammered turned out to be a shark. What a joke.Could it be that this guy has eaten Wei Ge? He is so mighty, but he is a shark. His current dominance is no worse than that of Chamberlain.

O'Neill was very irritable. He made three turnovers in the first quarter and then only scored 2 points. He was completely bewitched by that guy Brand. In this game, Brand seemed to have become Olajuwon. All kinds of footsteps made him tireless, "f'u'c'k, that bastard, I must blow him up." O'Neill panted heavily.The Zen master didn't say anything. O'Neal didn't play the Lakers' backup insider, which was much worse than the Grizzlies, so O'Neal played again. He played against Coleman and the Sharks took a lot of seriousness this time.

Seriously, O’Neal, that’s a terrible existence. Coleman didn’t have any temper when he was beaten. Malone’s successor now looks older than Malone, but fortunately, other Lakers’ substitutes have started to go undercover again. For example, Kukoc, the former best sixth man, played 10 minutes and only scored 2 points. There are also 3 turnovers. These 3 turnovers are fatal to the Lakers. This directly offset O’Neal’s efforts. .

Do you want to start, but the starters need to rest, and the Grizzlies didn’t play. If you let them play, the balance of the game between the two sides will be broken at once. Zen Master is very entangled at this time, and Mike Breen in the commentary seat started digging holes again.

"James, how do you think the current Lakers should adjust."

James Worthy has already regarded himself as a transparent person, but Mike Brin really did not let him go that easily, which made Worthy very uncomfortable, "Kobe can be brought up, he has an advantage in strength against that Argentine." There is nothing wrong with what Worthy said this time. The only normal point of the Lakers at present is Kobe. As long as he plays normally, the Lakers still have a chance.But the problem is that Kobe is not an iron man. If the other players still don't play well and count on him alone, unless he scores 81 points, it will be even more difficult for the Lakers to win.

Seems to have heard the call of James Worthy, the Zen master replaced Kobe, Kobe faced Manu Ginobili,.The only thing the two are equal in is their basketball IQ, and other qualities. The Argentine was blown away. Paul Westphal immediately got Wu Sheng up after seeing Kobe hit one. Wu Sheng and Kobe also had a grudge. In this scene, Buzz Sr. in the audience started to have another heart attack.

"Mom, you bought me this kind of trash, what use would I have him for, Pat, you are much worse than Jerry as a general manager."

Facing the boss's scolding, Pat Riley was very respectful on the surface, but his heart was full of aggrieved. I'm worse than the guy with the logo. What a joke, that guy is better than me in terms of player status, but also in terms of coaching and management. Besides, what kind of boss is Phil Jackson? He was brought into this slack, without a superstar, this guy is just a fake.

Kukoc's deal was not what he wanted to sign at all. It was what Phil Jackson wanted to sign. He still wanted Pippen. As a result, Pippen ignored him at all, so he could only choose him second.The general manager and the head coach are responsible for the blame. This is the standard configuration of the team that James is in. It is awesome to win the war king, and the teammate is lazy when it loses.

"Boss, I think Phil's command has a lot to do with it. The reason why we fell behind in this game is not because Shaq is too undisciplined. If he had half of Kobe, then we would have taken the lead in this game. It is because he indulged Shaq too much. He used what he taught Michael to Shaq, but the opponent ignored one point. Michael's competitive spirit is something that Shaq doesn't have. In some aspects, Shaq's talent is higher than ordinary people. It is because of this that he is not so good at basketball. This is the tragedy of geniuses, because everything is too simple and it is easy for them to lose enthusiasm. So this is the key to why we are behind in the game. If Shaq can’t change this attitude, then he will never be able to win the championship.”

Riley's words made Jerry Buss silent. The reason why Riley was brought in was because the other party was an old courtier of the Lakers. He was a witness of the "showroom" era of the Lakers. Stars, but they are far behind the Magician, because the Magician endowed the Lakers with this magnificence, so he is the Lakers' No. That's why he encouraged the magician to hook up thick eyebrows, because he knew that his employer couldn't play without superstars, let alone in the West.

How did the Lakers play for nothing all season, because of Anthony Davis, the energy of the entire team was gone, and Magic was really being played by Rich Paul as a monkey in the middle. , Then it is really the only one who respects me. Except for himself, everyone must always be prepared to take the blame, so it is too unrealistic for the general manager, Magician, to surpass his predecessor.This is not his fault, nor is it James' fault. James is like this. Before coming to the Lakers, he should have thought about this problem. However, when James came, the magician forgot everything. He didn't start to panic until James was injured.

The history of the Lakers has never been lacking in magnificence, from George Mikan to Jerry West, then to the magician, then Kobe, and finally to James. James was an accident. To be precise, the Lakers did not expect James to come.The news of him coming to the Lakers was really slapped on the screen that day. Many Jamies clamored that James came to the West, and then began to slap his opponents. Like in the East, he easily entered the finals.

James is an outlier on the basketball court. He is very professional, but he is more like a basketball businessman. There is nothing wrong with this kind of person. At least he is still a winner in life after retiring.

The situation on the Lakers side is still not optimistic. At the end of halftime, Kobe scored 30 points, but the Lakers are still behind, because Kobe has never been the barometer of this team. The barometer is O'Neal. Although O'Neal scored 20 points in the half, his efficiency is really low. The only luck is that the game is not over yet, and they still have a halftime chance to redeem.

Xiaotian had 14 points and 14 assists in the half, and his performance was quite comprehensive. Compared with him, Payton was a bit uncomfortable. Payton only had 5 points and 3 assists.Facts have proved that if you give Duncan enough shots, he can also generate a good statistic. In the historical space, Duncan never took more than 6 shots under Popovich's training. According to Popovich, more than 1 shots are cancerous. His basketball philosophy also brought the Spurs a championship without a seat. , Then I'm still playing hairy.

Malone's performance was miserable, while Glenn Rice scored 10 points. He was the third existence in double figures outside the OK combination. This guy may have a greater sense of crisis because of the existence of Kukoc, and he didn't have the same laxity as in the historical space.

The Lakers still have a chance, but their offensive options must be shifted. Zen master is very clear about this, "Shaq, I hope you can cover for your teammates more in the second half. Your state in this game is not good."

As a cover, O'Neill looked at Zen Master with his big eyes, and Zen Master was very calm. O'Neill didn't speak. He was never an obedient child. Compared with the previous head coach, Zen Master had more weight, so O'Neill didn't bother, because he was not at the same level as Zen Master. The opponent was a champion coach, but he had nothing. The existence of data, such as the obsidian god Earl Monroe, such as James Worthy, although they all have championships, everyone can see how they perform.

"Kobe, in the second half, I hope you pay attention to passing the ball when you are attacking. Gary is too tired alone. Tony, you have to pay attention to running positions. Since the defense is not good, then use offense to make up for it. Play hard. We still have a chance in the second half." Zen Master comforted the players.

It's just that the morale of the Lakers is still very low. After all, since Xiao Tian entered the league, the Lakers have never won against the Grizzlies. Every time the Lakers fans think of this, they can't help but smash the glass of those two bastards.
