I'm really strong in basketball

Soon, O'Neal walked to the free throw line, aimed at the basket, and threw the ball.

Bang!

No first penalty.

O'Neal wiped his forehead painfully, preparing for the second free throw.

This time he took longer to prepare, and took a long time to aim before throwing it out.

However, he was greeted with a "bang dang".

2 free throws.

The chewing gum in Phil's mouth suddenly tasted bad. It seems that O'Neal's free throws tonight are not very lucky.

The old handsome Hubie Brown on the other side smiled.

Tonight he prepared a lot of tactics against O'Neal.

First, there was the wheel battle between Chakarias and Lorenzen, then Lorenzen's tactic around the front, and then the double-teaming tactic...

But O'Neal is worthy of being a historical super giant, and none of these tactics can limit him.

Finally, the shark-slashing tactic worked.

This was Old Brown's last move. If it didn't work, Old Brown had no choice but to give up.

fine......

The Grizzlies attack.

White Chocolate and Gasol play the pick-and-roll to the left of the free throw line,

After receiving the ball, Gasol broke through to attract double-teams, and distributed the ball to James Posey, who was squatting in the bottom corner.

Posey opened his hand and made a shot.

Swish!

68: 58.

Lakers offense.

Just after Payton dribbled the ball at halftime, the referee's whistle blew again.

This time it was Lorenzen who hugged O'Neill.

O'Neill looked unlovable.

Lorenzen smiled apologetically on the surface, but he was extremely happy in his heart.

"Let you abuse me! Abuse me! You also have retribution, you also have today! Hahahahaha..."

O'Neal went to the free throw line again, this time making 2 of 1 free throws.

69: 58.

Looking back, Miller ran out of space with the help of Gasol's screen and raised his hand to hit a long two-pointer.

69: 60.

The point difference came to single digits.

Lakers offense.

Payton found it boring to dribble, and sure enough, just after halftime, the familiar whistle sounded again.

Beep!

The difference is that this time it was white chocolate that hugged O'Neill.

O'Neal continued to make 2 of 1 free throws.

70: 60.

Looking back, Gasol broke through Malone at the free throw line, faced O'Neal with a throw, and made a hollow hit.

Swish!

70: 62.

The difference is further narrowed.

The Grizzlies scored three consecutive rounds. It seems that the Grizzlies' offense has opened up, but it is actually the Lakers' defensive rhythm that is out of order.

Strong teams are both offensive and defensive!Offense and defense complement each other.

But O'Neal was deeply involved in the shark-slashing tactics, and the Lakers had no offensive rhythm at all.

Every offensive round, the other four people watched O'Neal's painful free throws and watched him hit the iron.

As soon as the free throw was over, the Grizzlies immediately served the ball and rushed to the frontcourt quickly, and immediately launched an offensive before the Lakers set up their defensive formation.

In this way, relying on the shark-cutting tactics, the Grizzlies narrowed the point difference little by little before the end of the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, 73:71, the Grizzlies narrowed the 13-point difference to 2 points.

The 2-point difference is not a problem at all for the game time of one quarter. The Grizzlies have the hope of winning tonight.

During the break, the Lakers' bench was a little low.

They have no way to deal with the shark hacking tactics.

The best way is actually to replace O'Neal... But replacing O'Neal is something only a lunatic would do.

Liu He noticed that O'Neill's expression was slightly depressed, but only a little bit.

Kobe, another core member of the Lakers, lowered his head, silently wiping his sweat, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the critical moment, Phil Jackson encouraged: "Guys, why do you look like this, we are the one in the lead!"

These words made everyone feel a little better.

Come back in the fourth quarter.

Payton held the ball across half court and was about to throw the ball to O'Neal, but Kobe raised his arm and asked for the ball.

O'Neal on the inside also got stuck, waiting for a pass.In the third quarter, he suffered enough from the shark-slashing tactics. Now that the team has zero fouls, it is a good time for him to avenge his revenge, so O'Neal is also eagerly waiting for the pass.

The two big dads of the team wanted the ball at the same time, and Payton could be said to be in a dilemma and at a loss.

To O'Neal, to offend Kobe.

To Kobe, to offend O'Neal.

There is no way out!

Compared with Malone, who thinks highly of himself, Payton has been cautious since he came to the Lakers, showing his attitude of assisting the "OK combination".

Unexpectedly, he still couldn't hide from the Shura Field like this, and Peyton felt bitter.

At this moment, he really wanted to throw the ball. The point guard of the Lakers is not a human job.

On the Lakers bench, Fisher lowered his head, trying to blur his presence.

"It's okay! It's okay! The number one on the field is not me."

Fisher felt a little bit fortunate in his heart.

However, when Payton hesitated, Kobe, who was already in a bad mood, became even more upset, and shouted at that time: "Give me that damn ball!"

Payton gritted his teeth and could only pass the ball to Kobe.

As soon as Kobe took the ball, he made continuous tentative steps to destroy James Posey's defensive rhythm, and then suddenly accelerated to break through at an extremely fast speed.

But Posey deserves to be the strongest wing gate of this Grizzlies team.

Although he was out of position, he was experienced and immediately looked for physical contact, hitting Kobe's back fiercely with his chest.

Kobe staggered at that time and failed to fully speed up, which gave the Grizzlies enough preparation time inside to make up defense.

Lorenzen stayed in the penalty area, waiting for Kobe.Gasol rushed from the flank to help Lorenzen make up the defense.Posey chased from behind and attacked Kobe on three sides.

Kobe broke into the encirclement all at once, surrounded by the enemy's three-headed and six-armed body, blocking all space.

But Kobe deserves to be Kobe. He dodged in the air, forced a chance, and threw the ball with a big drawbar.

The Grizzlies players who besieged him broke out in a cold sweat with helplessness on their faces.

"That's okay? Then what else can Kobe not do? It's terrible!"

I saw the basketball leaping over the rim, hitting the backboard, and refracting into the rim, but when the rim bounced, the basketball flew out again.

popped out.

Bang!

The difficulty of the ball was too high, and it was not scored in the end.

Gasol breathed a sigh of relief and struggled to protect the rebound.

The Lakers retreated, O'Neal found Kobe, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Just now Lorenzen made a throw, I was open, why didn't you pass the ball to me?"

Kobe said with a cold face: "Does the only savior of Los Angeles also need to pass the ball?"

After the words fell, Kobe ran away, leaving O'Neal behind, with the anger on his face accumulating little by little.

The OK group finally tore their faces.

It's just that on the court, the two still restrain themselves.

But leaving the court, it should be a catastrophe.

The rain is coming from the wind!

And these details did not escape the eyes of old handsome Hubie Brown, he was keenly aware of the problems between the "OK combination".

In fact, from the 2000-2001 season, the media broke out the contradictions between the OK combination. Kobe urgently needed more ball rights to grow, but O'Neal, who was at the peak, was naturally unwilling to delegate power, and they broke out conflicts many times.

However, Phil Jackson, who is good at handling superstar relationships, persuaded the two with the temptation of defending the title, allowing O'Neal and Kobe to unite sincerely and play a dominant season.

In the 2000-2001 season, the Lakers only lost one game in the playoffs. If Iverson hadn't gone crazy in the finals, the Lakers had almost won the knockout rounds.

But after that, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, who have won two consecutive championships, have lowered their desire to win the championship, and Kobe's further growth has intensified the conflict between the two sides.

Even Phil Jackson couldn't reconcile the relationship between the two.

Therefore, in the 2001-2002 season, the Lakers' road to winning the championship was not smooth, and there were even some controversies.

In the 2002-2003 season, the conflict between the two completely intensified, and Phil Jackson was completely unable to control the OK combination. In this case, the Lakers even failed to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

Therefore, it is not a secret that the OK combination has conflicts, and everyone in the alliance knows it well.

At this moment, Hubie Brown on the sidelines noticed it.

He also immediately made arrangements.

The Grizzlies' offense failed under the tight defense of the Lakers.

Looking back, the Lakers attacked.

Kobe and O'Neal reached out for the ball at the same time.

Peyton: "..."

Breaking news, I'm thinking about retiring.

It's too difficult, it's really too difficult, I think it's a wrong choice to follow Malone to join the Lakers in the summer.

This is the Shura field!

That guy Ma Long doesn't know how to restrain himself, you don't embarrass him, but embarrass me, an honest and good person, God!

Fortunately, Hubie Brown helped him choose.

On the field, the Grizzlies players went around to defend O'Neal, preventing O'Neal from receiving the ball.On the contrary, on Kobe's side, he let Kobe go and gave Kobe a chance to catch the ball easily.

Payton glanced at O'Neill.

Shaq, it's not that I don't pass the ball to you, I really have no chance!

To excuse myself, Payton threw the ball to Kobe like throwing a hot potato.

As soon as Kobe got the ball, the Grizzlies' defensive formation changed again.

The Grizzlies relaxed the protection of the restricted area and strengthened their defense against Bryant.

This is a very risky defensive formation, once Kobe passed the ball to O'Neal, O'Neal can easily complete the score.

Hubie Brown knew that Kobe had the ability to pass the ball, but his bet was that Kobe would not pass.

Although he doesn't know how the conflict between O'Neill and Kobe broke out, he has already detected the breakdown of the relationship between the two from clues.

I saw Kobe shaking continuously, turning around to open up space, and forced a shot against the defense.

A set of actions that flow smoothly.

But the Grizzlies put all their defensive focus on Kobe, and the defensive intensity is too high. Even Kobe can hardly guarantee efficiency in the face of such a defense.

Sure enough, with a bang, the iron struck.

The Grizzlies protected the rebound and played a wave of defensive counterattacks.

White Chocolate tricked Payton with a fake pass and made a layup.

73: 73.

The Grizzlies even tied.

Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout and persuaded Kobe for a while, trying to make Kobe play more team and share the ball.

But Kobe just bowed his head and said nothing.

Phil Jackson felt hopeless.

This Kobe is really unteachable!

Of course, if it weren't for the big mouths of O'Neal and Malone, Kobe would not be forced to be so rebellious.

There are already irreconcilable contradictions between the two cores, and the "stupid" outsider Ma Long has to step in. How come I have encountered these things, no one can worry about it.

Thinking about the Bulls back then, Pippen was very convinced of Jordan, and even the troublesome off-court "Bug" Rodman obeyed Jordan's words, so don't worry at that time.

Phil felt tired.

After more than three years, who knows how much he has paid to maintain this team?But in the end it crashed.

Lakers offense.

The old coach Hubie Brown saw that his defensive strategy had achieved results, and he became more determined.

Let Kobe catch the ball, and then fall into a solo game, and the whole team defends him.

No matter how strong Kobe's scoring ability is, he still has to suffer.

Sure enough, Kobe easily caught the basketball.But as soon as he caught the ball, James Posey blocked in front of him, and on both sides behind Posey, Miller and Gasol were watching, ready to pinch at any time.

Liu He had a good chance, so he put his hands on his chest and assumed the posture of catching the ball.

But Kobe is now stunned, and now he only has the basket in his mind, and he wants to use his super scoring ability to tell everyone, especially O'Neal... who is the only savior of Los Angeles.

Just like that, Liu He looked at Kobe helplessly.

Knowing that the front was a trap, Kobe still went into it without hesitation.

Really Kobe Bryant Bryant.

Sure enough, Kobe was surrounded by a group of bears in an instant. He struggled to pull himself up, but was slapped away by a block from Posey.

In the crucial fourth quarter, Bryant made 3-of-0 consecutive shots.

This is nothing, the key is that after Kobe made 3 of 0 shots, he didn't feel any loss, but his expression became more determined.

Others don't hit the south wall and don't look back, but Kobe doesn't look back when he hits the south wall, and he has to make up his mind to smash the south wall.

Damn paranoid!

Objectively speaking, a character like Kobe can achieve excellent results no matter what he does, but at this moment, it definitely hurts the team.

Phil Jackson was extremely speechless.

Perseverance is of course a valuable quality.

But Phil just wants to rip Kobe right now.If it weren't for Kobe's popularity and status, Phil would definitely let Kobe sit on the bench.

On the contrary, Hubie Brown's smile became brighter and brighter, and the hope of victory grew bigger and bigger.

Soon, the Grizzlies had another wave of defensive counterattacks.

The Lakers, who have always been known for their defense, had no defensive formation this time, and were easily torn apart by the Grizzlies.

Gasol made an empty cut to the penalty area, then passed Miller's pass for a layup.

73: 75.

The Grizzlies took the lead.

Kobe's single play not only reduced the offensive efficiency of the entire team, but also made other players dull, and their defensive status was greatly reduced.

As the game progressed, the Grizzlies always maintained the lead.

No matter how hard the Lakers try, they cannot get a lead.

Kobe can occasionally score one or two difficult goals, but after all, the efficiency is too low, not to mention that the 25-year-old Kobe has not yet evolved to a full body, and does not have the ability to change the outcome of the game by himself.

84: 89.

When the whistle sounded, the Grizzlies won the final victory.

The Lakers' 6-game winning streak ended here, and after all, they failed to return to Los Angeles with a complete record.
