NBA: Unlock the Eye of the Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 63 O'Neal, I bet your free throws were no accident (please subscribe!)

"O'Neal is a trouble after all. If we want to win the Lakers, we must solve O'Neal!"

During the halftime break, in the Timberwolves locker room, Coach Sanders said with a sad face.

The Timberwolves' performance in the first half surprised him.

At this moment, he also began to look forward to the Timberwolves' final victory.

Victory was expected.

O'Neal has to face this.

Even if the team currently has Lin Yan, the score is evenly matched, but the team's inside line is still in foul trouble.

In just half time, Ben has already received a personal penalty. The fourth foul.

With two quarters left, there are only two chances for fouls!

To be precise, he only has 6 fouls, which means he is out of defense! Garnett also had a difficult time.

He did not have an effective defense and suffered two fouls.

In addition to the penalty he paid for defending Eldon, his number of fouls came to 3 in the second half. The playing space will also be affected by foul trouble.

On the other hand, O'Neal and Eldon have one foul per person!

This gap is destined to become a huge hidden danger in the second half of the game! Sander frowned when he heard this.

The problem mentioned by Coach S really needs to be solved!

It seems that the current league has not given an ideal answer on how to solve it.

How to restrict O'Neal has become the NBA's problem of the century!

"Since we can't guard him, we might as well not guard him at all, or simply give him a chance to score!"

Lin Yan expressed his thoughts at this time.

Everyone saw this and did not speak. They all turned their attention to Lin Yan.

They knew that Lin Yan had not finished speaking.

"O'Neal's personal ability cannot be limited by pure defense at all, unless we can have players with the same physical talent as him, but there are very few such players in the entire league!"

"Since we can't limit it, let's let him score. I roughly calculated that O'Neal got a total of 11 free throws in the first half, but only got 4, and his free throw shooting rate was not as good as 50%!"

"We can foul him in advance and send him to the free throw line. Even if he reaches 50% shooting rate, he can only score one point in one round, but we can seize this opportunity and score the ball to open up the game. Score difference!"

Lin Yan's words made everyone enlightened!

Yes!

O'Neal is not without shortcomings!

Free throws are his biggest disadvantage!

Whether it is his offense or the Lakers' offense, he has a huge advantage in the paint.

And his advantage is also It will affect the Timberwolves' inside performance and thus the team's overall layout.

But if he is allowed to shoot free throws... hehe~

"Lin's proposal is very good. I think we can study it carefully.……"

Coach Sanders' face turned from gloomy to bright.

After all, it has to be Lin Yan~

Just tell me, does a player like this sound good?

He feels more and more that being a licking dog is quite good!

………………

"I didn't expect that guy Lin was quite difficult to deal with, but he lived up to the recognition of being the top pick!" At the same time, head coach Del Harris said with emotion in the Lakers locker room. The two sides ended up tied at 52 in the first half, which he did not expect. Lin Yan, the top pick, does have something!

"Lin is indeed very strong, but isn't he just one person? I don't believe he can keep scoring in the second half of the game!"

"Besides, the opponent's current main inside line has been affected by foul trouble. I believe that as long as we work harder in the second half, there will be no problem in penetrating the opponent's inside line!"

Shaquille O'Neal said very forcefully.

In this game, he and Garnett never stopped scolding each other.

The two have been having cordial and friendly interactions!

Even if it is not for the team, he must win for himself. Next victory!

"Shaq is right, our inside advantage is still very large. In the second half, we will continue to focus on the inside. Even if Lin Ji performs steadily, we will destroy their inside!"

"When the time comes that the main inside line is gone, what else can the Timberwolves do?"

Harris followed O'Neal's words and emphasized the next game plan.

Although the progress of the game deviated from expectations, he still believed that victory would belong to Los Angeles!

15 minutes later, the second half of the game came like this.

The Lakers still retained The starting lineup for the opening game was

Nick Van Exel, Cediric Ceballos, Eddie Jones, Eldon Eberle, and Shaquille O'Neal, but

Lin Yan made adjustments on the inside. , James Robinson, Tom Gugliotta, Heath Garrett, Cherokee Bryan!

"Well, the Timberwolves did passively make substitutions. They replaced Kevin Garnett and Ben Wallace and replaced them with Heath Garrett and Cherokee Bryant. It seems that O'Neal caused a problem in the first half. The killings still caused the Timberwolves to suffer!"

"To be honest, if I were Coach Sanders, I would definitely not make such a substitution adjustment, especially regarding Garnett. When Garnett was there in the first half, besides Lin Yan, the Timberwolves could also He had a stable shooting spot, but now that he has been replaced, Lin is under too much pressure on the offensive end.……"

"This is indeed an unreasonable substitution choice. Regardless of offense and defense, the overall strength of the Timberwolves will be weakened, but this is a choice that has to be made. After all, the two people who were replaced had three fouls and the other four fouls. foul!"

The commentator was very emotional after seeing the Timberwolves' adjustments.

O'Neal's influence is really too great.

No.���Not only in terms of scoring and rebounding, but also in terms of causing opponents to foul, he is also very scary.

Ben received 4 fouls in the first half, which seemed like a lot, but it was a routine operation against O'Neal!

"Can't stand it anymore?"

Del Harris showed a proud smile.

Next, is the real hunting moment!

The first attack of the second half was launched by the Timberwolves.

Lin Yan advanced with the ball.

With the Eye of the Emperor, Lin Yan was very interested in Heath who was replaced on the field. Garrett and Cherokee Bryan are relatively familiar.

Both of them are typical blue-collar players.

They have no independent offensive ability and rely solely on rebounding and secondary rebounding. However, their only advantage is their defensive rebounding awareness.

Today, the two are facing the league's top inside team, and the so-called advantage no longer exists!

However,

Lin Yan doesn't need to do much. As for grabbing rebounds, it

's enough!

Attack!

He is enough!

To be honest,

Lin Yan can also choose to pass the ball to others, but it is definitely not as stable as him!

The prerequisite for the perfect execution of foul tactics is that the team must be on the offensive end. The ball is scored!

Once the offense fails, the so-called foul tactics really become points given away for no reason... and even the fate of the team is affected.

After all, once the number of fouls in a single quarter reaches 4. , any foul will go to the free throw line!

O'Neal can go to the free throw line.

If someone else gets to the free throw line, it will be a big deal...

Thinking of this,

Lin Yan no longer hesitated and launched a single attack again.

Nick van Exel, who was responsible for defending Lin Yan, changed his expression.

"Damn, come again!"

As soon as he said his emotion, Lin Yan's offense had already reached the point of taking action.

It is also the most popular mid-range at the moment.

Lin Yan easily scored two points!

Van Exel's face was very ugly.

I heard that there was a man in the team. The young player named Kobe is very eager to play. Why don't you talk to the coach and let him come?

"Lin's offense is as stable as ever. When the team needs him to step up, his performance is no worse than that of the top superstars, even more so!"

The commentator has been completely conquered by Lin Yan's performance.

When it is time to connect the team, he is not greedy at all!

When it is time to attack independently, he is not ambiguous at all!

This is the best interpretation of a top point guard ~

Of course. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Everyone is now accustomed to his performance. What is most concerning now is how the Timberwolves should defend the Lakers' offense after replacing them with two substitutes.

Sale advanced with the ball.

Eddie Jones opened his hand to ask for the ball.

The Lakers obviously wanted to copy the offensive mode of the first half. O'Neal did not attack first and let other teammates find their feelings first!

Anyway, if O'Neal wants, he can score at any time!

"Dudu!"

As soon as Eddie Jones got the ball, the referee's whistle sounded.

"what's the situation?"

"Can Cherokee play? Why did he do nothing in the first place and pay for a foul first?"

The two commentators were very puzzled by the foul committed by Timberwolves substitute center Cherokee Bryan.

If you want to say that O'Neal got the ball, you can be forgiven for not being able to prevent the foul!

At present, O'Neal has not even touched the ball. The Lakers' offense As soon as he was ready to start, the foul was handed out. What kind of operation was this?

O'Neal himself was also happy.

He didn't expect that the opponent was so afraid of his offense!

Because it was just a normal foul, the Lakers still had the ball in the frontcourt. , Eddie Jones catches the ball again

"Dudu!"

Just after catching the ball again, the referee's whistle sounded again.

The referee looked at the line referee. He was now a little suspicious. It was the line referee who deliberately caused trouble!

After it was determined that Sheen had fouled O'Neal, the game continued again.

This time, the ball was passed directly to O'Neal in the paint. Since the opponent was so afraid of the paint, they would let the two players come up and commit fouls. What to play with?

"Dudu!"

The moment O'Neal caught the ball, Heath Garrett and Cherokee Bryan hugged O'Neal together.

The referee blew the foul whistle again.

"Are these two here to be funny?"

"There is another foul, and the Lakers will foul and take free throws!"

"What is Coach Sanders thinking? Hurry up and replace these two guys. They are obviously doing it~"

The commentator was helpless when he saw the Timberwolves' continuous fouls.

I believe the Timberwolves' purpose of replacing these two people, Just to protect Garnett and Ben, who were in foul trouble.

Now, these two guys committed three unnecessary fouls.

Isn't this just causing trouble?

He couldn't control his emotions and laughed excitedly.

The Timberwolves' current defense was just giving away points. He really couldn't imagine how the Lakers should lose in this game!

"Dudu!"

As soon as the ball came out, the referee's whistle sounded.

Now the players and the referee were happy.

This scene seemed familiar...

The number of fouls had accumulated to 4.

O'Neal stood on the free throw line.

After O'Neal adjusted, the fourth one free throw

"Damn!"

The performance was very stable and the basketball hit the backboard.

"Huh~"

After adjusting his breathing, O'Neal took action again.

"Damn!"

This time, O'Neal proved himself that his free throws are indeed worthy of foul tactics!

"Bang!"

Cherokee Bryan, who had already been stuck in position, securely protected the rebound and gave it to Lin Yan immediately.

Lin Yan quickly launched a counterattack.

He used his high-speed dribbling skills and body speed to the extreme.

He hit it directly. The

Lakers failed to gain a foothold, and the layup was easy!

The score difference between the two sides reached 4!

It was the Lakers' offensive round again

, and the referee's whistle sounded again before O'Neal reached the frontcourt. coming

"Dudu!"

O'Neal was a little depressed.

The opponent committed a foul.���If you give a chance, you will get points for free!

But for him.

He would rather not have such an opportunity!

"Phew~"

After trying his best to adjust, O'Neal's shot came out again.

"Uh-huh!"

This time.

O'Neal did not perform well and actually threw the ball into the basket!

And it was very accurate and hollow!

O'Neal was very excited!

It seems that this score is pretty good~

This time he is even more impressive. He dribbled the ball, and then shot with determination.

The trajectory of the basketball was very straight, and it flew to the basket!

Wait! The basketball seems to be a little weak.

The ball fell in front of the basket!

It hit the air directly outside the basket!

"Uh-huh!"

The sound between the basketball and the net was very pleasant.

That was the result, which was a bit heartbreaking!

Cherokee Bryan protected the rebound and handed it to Lin Yan again. As soon as Lin Yan got the ball, all the Lakers quickly took precautions to prevent him from doing it again.

Laibao caught him by surprise.

Lin Yan walked through the half and looked at Van Exel who was defending him!

This look made Van Exel feel cold.

Why was he injured? Is it me?

As Lin Yan scored again, everyone realized the problem.

The two commentators looked at each other.

"Man, do you think it's possible that the Timberwolves are doing this on purpose?"

"I think it’s either possible or not!"

The two looked at the score of 58:53 and nodded at the same time.

The Lakers seemed to be tricked by the Timberwolves in the second half!.
