Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 42
After consecutive away games, lack of people and many suspensions, although O'Neal scored 35 points and 12 rebounds, and Kobe scored 31 points, the Lakers still failed to resist the challenge of the healthy and strong Timberwolves. After scoring 29 points and 18 rebounds Led by Kevin Garnett with 7 assists and comprehensive data, 6 Timberwolves scored in double figures and defeated the Lakers 120-102 away, giving the Lakers their third defeat of the season.

The Lakers have a relatively intensive schedule. Just after the game against the Timberwolves, they will travel halfway across the United States to Chicago to challenge the Bulls, who are not doing well.

Although the high school double treasure Curry and Chandler were selected, with the thriving Brad Miller and the veteran Charles Oakley in the team, the Sharks and the boxing champion basically had no playing time. Extremely bleak, and the Wizards' Kwame Brown complement each other.

The team's former coach Floyd resigned after a fierce conflict with Oakley because of his poor record. Bill Cartwright, the former chief center for three consecutive championships, took the position of Bulls coach, relying on Ron Mercer and Ron Artest is the outside core, gradually stabilizing Avalanche's record.

The Lakers' Mason and several other Titans are still suspended. They stayed in Los Angeles for this game and did not come to the game with the team.

As soon as he came up, O'Neal was jointly besieged by Brad Miller and Charles Oakley. Under the large-scale whistle of the referee, O'Neal made consecutive mistakes, and the Bulls succeeded in two fast breaks by Mercer.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and the bulls, who had tasted the sweetness, continued to double-team O'Neal. This time, the Sharks did not attack in anger, but threw the ball to Fisher, who had been lying in wait for a long time in the corner of the weak side.

Xiaoyu shoots out a three-pointer and hits hollow.

Facing Kobe's defense, Mercer didn't rush to attack, and waited for Oakley to come up and make a screen.Bryant was pushed off balance by Oakley's moving Great Wall, and Mercer, who was feeling hot, made an easy mid-range shot.

Going back to the defensive end, Artest, who broke Jordan's ribs during the offseason last season, frantically defended Kobe closely with his strange eyes wide open. Artest made such a sudden press, the ball slipped from his hands, Artest made a fast break with the ball after stealing it, and barely succeeded in a low-altitude flight.

Both O'Neal and Kobe fell into the opponent's high-pressure defense. Bowen and Wallace did not have the ability to attack independently. The Lakers, who were in crisis, waited for the emergence of surprise soldiers. Facing Greg Anthony's defense, Fisher possessed both height and weight. Advantage, Xiaoyu, who just scored a three-pointer from the bottom corner, dribbled the ball in the middle. Instead of hanging to O'Neal in the low post as usual, he directly chose to make a three-pointer by himself!

Double kill!

The game in the first quarter has since become Fisher's stage. He steals Oakley's fast break, makes Artest dribble into someone, breaks through for a layup, makes a long-range three-pointer, and assists his teammates, turning the field upside down. The Bulls The weak lead at the beginning was instantly cleared, but the Lakers instead established a point difference of about 10 points.

32比21，湖人领先进入第二节，其中费舍尔独得15分3助攻，三分球4投3中。

The two sides entered the rotation stage, the Bulls' high school doubles debuted, and the Lakers could only replace Okur and Etan Thomas to top the inside.

In the face of the bench lineup, the high school doubles can finally show their talents. Eddie Curry has flexibility and soft touch that are not commensurate with his weight, and occasionally can perform a gorgeous dance under the basket.And Chandler's physical fitness is top-notch, and he has a full sense of presence on the defensive end.

Okur and Itan Thomas soon became overwhelmed, and Chandler broke out today, grabbing offensive rebounds from the two of them in a row, and succeeded in the second attack.

Coupled with the poor offensive effects of Richmond and Mike James of the Lakers, the Bulls went 7-0 and narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

The two sides returned to the main force again, but with the absence of Fisher's magic, Kobe and O'Neal fell into strict defense and average state, the score has been stalemate and did not open.

Ben Wallace didn't show mercy when facing up to Oakley, who had been handed over to him for a long time. However, his too rough offense caused him to have no good way when the team was constipated offensively. He could only work hard to grab the offensive rebounds so that One more chance to attack.

The Lakers rely on the number of shots to increase points, while the Bulls rely on Artest to bully Bowen.

In the last game, he was bullied by the tall and flexible Garnett, and this time he was bullied by the brutal Artest.

It has always been Bowen's weakness to play against heavy swingmen or strikers, and Bunch Wells has proved this before.Compared with Wells' low-post singles, which emphasizes both technology and strength, Artest's ugly and stiff breakthrough is even more unbearable for Bowen. The large gap in weight and strength makes him completely unable to prevent Artest from going inside. All kinds of small movements of his own are a little bit useless in the face of Artest's rude offense.

Seeing Bowen's miserable state on the court, the Zen master couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"But if I have Admiral Mason and Jackson here, why be afraid of this young Artest!"

Bryant wanted to mark Mercer, another sharp knife of the Bulls. The Zen master could only let the strong Richmond and the experienced Marley take turns to deal with Artest to reduce Bowen's pressure.

The game remained deadlocked until the fourth quarter, when the Lakers led 3-87 with 84 minutes left.

O'Neal received Fisher's lob in the low post, facing the pincer attack of Brad Miller and Oakley, O'Neal, who was extremely depressed throughout the game, chose to turn around and layup forcibly.

Miller used the silk-wrapping hand to grab O'Neill's right hand, and Oakley slashed Huashan behind him, directly cutting O'Neill's left arm from behind.

These two rough fouls completely detonated the anger of the sharks. When Miller staggered back holding the ball, O'Neal swung his sandbag-sized fist and hammered Miller on the back of the head.

It's a pity that O'Neal's fighting skills need to be improved. This punch brushed against Miller's ear, and Miller hurriedly turned around to fight back, while Artest, whose brain was congested, had already arrived, and threw himself at O'Neal from behind. People rolled into a ball on the ground.

Seeing Miller's unfavorable situation, Oakley was eager to step forward to help, but there was a pair of arms under his ribs that seemed to be made of steel.

Ben Wallace deeply knew that his big brother was not good, so he set his sights on Oakley immediately and dragged him away from the battle group. Then other players and coaches from both sides rushed to the two sides in time. The hunk pulls.

Oakley glanced at the silent Wallace, then at the chaotic crowd on the other side, and slowly shook his head.

With the joint efforts of the referee, the staff of both sides, the on-site security, and other players of the two teams, the conflict was finally quelled.O'Neal ripped Miller's jersey, which was a slight advantage.

The protagonists of the conflict, O'Neal and Miller, were sent off, the instigator Oakley got a malicious foul, and Artest, who added fuel to the fire, only got a technical foul and was able to stay on the court.

Losing O'Neal, the Lakers failed to withstand the Bulls' counterattack. Mercer and Artest jointly contributed 52 points to help the Bulls beat the Lakers 96 to 93.

After the game, O'Neal was suspended by the league for 2 games.

The Los Angeles gang created by Jim is developing in a direction worthy of the name.
