Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Mutombo played, coupled with Karl Malone who was still on the field, the two of them did not hesitate to double-team against O'Neal the first time the game restarted.

O'Neill experience "dilemma"!

As Tom expected, artificial "hamburgers" appeared time and time again.

The only difference from Tom's expectation is that this is not an ordinary hamburger, at least it is a supreme version of the hamburger.

This scene is really "base feeling" everywhere.

If there are two pieces of soap, it is definitely Sao Ling's favorite plot, it is too hard!

However, O'Neal is O'Neal in the end, especially in 2004. He was still in his peak period. Facing the consumption of two "meat shields", he was still able to complete continuous goals. Before the end of the first quarter, he scored 4 more points.

With his 4 points and Bryant's outstanding performance in the first quarter, the Lakers led by 6 points in the first quarter.

This is the "OK" combination!

Yao Ming on the bench couldn't help but "tsk" twice, eyes full of surprise.

The disintegration of these two guys is indeed regrettable, otherwise, it may not be impossible for the Lakers to win another three consecutive championships.

No matter how you look at it, this "shark" can maintain its peak period for at least two years!

Originally, Yao Ming thought about O’Neal’s performance in the 2006 Finals, and thought this guy started to decline in 2004, but now it seems that Shaq’s performance in 2006 was not so eye-catching, and he should have adjusted his tactics with the Heat. relation.

Look at him now, this performance is not much worse than his peak period!

You know, the Rockets’ “Meat Shield” is not just a mere name. They can make O’Neal’s legs cramp, make the “big dog” afraid to play, and make Eddie Curry’s legs soft. These achievements all show that, How strong is the "Meat Shield Group" to torture opponents!

But now, the three major "meat shields" take turns to news O'Neal, this guy actually scored 11 points in a single quarter, is this too fierce?

In the future, who will say that O'Neal's physical fitness is not good, I am the first to not agree!

"Shaq's stamina is much better than I thought. How about letting Battle go up and consume a wave later?"

Tom was also sighing with Thibodeau about Shaq O’Neal’s stamina. The second quarter substitute rotation time. He wondered whether he should take Battelle up for a while and then take the other two in turn. .

"You can give it a try, anyway, Catino has recovered the difference to only 2 points!"

Thibodeau nodded and agreed.

As his voice fell on the court, Mobley scored another goal and evened the "two-point difference" he said.

"This guy is really good!"

Seeing "Old Cat" scored another goal just like that, Thibodeau praised again.

Tom nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect him to play so well on the bench!"

Although the "Old Cat" was originally put on the bench in the hope that he could play in the sixth man position, but hope is that there are also players who have shown good scoring ability in the starting lineup, and the results are muddled on the bench. Yes, Tom knows the self-esteem of "Old Cat" very well. It is very strong. He also worried that "Old Cat" would abandon himself because he was put on the bench... But now it seems that this guy played what he hoped to see. The performance he achieved was a breeze in the team's sixth man position!

It's not just this game.

In every recent game, regardless of winning or losing, the Rockets' bench really hasn't suffered any loss. This guy who can contribute 15.5 points per game so far has guaranteed the Rockets' firepower during the replacement phase.

No, many experts have recently noticed his activeness on the bench and have begun to include him in the discussion of the "best sixth man" of the season.

Speaking of which, Mobley also knows that his market situation in the outside world is gradually getting better, and he has become more and more vigorous recently!

This performance is naturally getting better and better!

After all, in terms of real strength, he is definitely the league's second position at the starting level!

"beep!"

While Mobley tied the score, Phil Jackson called a timeout and got all the main players such as "OK" on the court.

When O'Neal looked at Phil Jackson and gestured towards him, he glanced at the time subconsciously: 2 minutes and 34 seconds, only so little time passed, would this put me on the court again?

He is actually a bit reluctant, but he also knows that tonight is the "Christmas War" and fans all over the country are watching it. It's not like the usual time to be lazy. When Phil Jackson lets him go, he must go!

only……

Seeing Kevin Cato with a "giegiegie" smile on the court, he couldn't help feeling that his legs were a little weak!

In the first quarter, he played a full 11 minutes under the double teams of three big guys. How long did he rest! Just let him go again... Isn't anyone going to like it? Where did all the money for this team go?

Various emotions on his face.

The Huaxia reporters on the sidelines looked at him like this, and then looked at Kevin Cato's look. They all had a look of astonishment, and they all started to talk in their hearts. After watching this game for so many years, I can still see Kevin Cato showing off in front of Shaq! This is really fresh!

As for Kevin Cato at the moment, he was even more happy, and he hummed disdainfully: Shark? Little fish! When I met my Kevin "Yu Qian", toss you and me!

Afterwards, Kevin Cato once again "fused" with O'Neal as one.

However, I should say that a little rest is also a rest, although it is only a few minutes, but for the "shark", it can also restore a lot of physical fitness.

As soon as this first confrontation came up, it could be seen that Kevin Cato only topped twice before being directly kicked off by Shaq O'Neal! This power is really...

Yao Ming, who was watching next to him, couldn't help but mutter: If this was three years ago... I dare not think, I dare not think!

Yao Ming then rushed forward, Shaq saw this, and simply changed the cricket to a one-handed dunk.

"Bah!"

There was a loud noise.

There were also huge cheers from the audience.

But Shaq O’Neal was not very happy. He just chose to make a small scratch purely to save effort. As a result, Yao Ming made it up. There was no way, he could only change the layup to a dunk.

The ball was scored, but it took a lot of effort...

The physical fitness of this game is the most precious thing for him, and a little waste may become the last straw to crush the camel in the second half!

But Yao Ming obviously saw his intention to save effort, and immediately made up for it, dispelling his intention.

This, this, this, this is so... the Chinese champion is really annoying!

Yao Ming secretly laughed.

I want to save effort, sorry, there are no doors!

Although O'Neal has much better physical fitness than Yao Ming imagined, he is not an iron man in the end. Moreover, looking at his already somewhat bloated figure, it is certain that as long as he continues to consume, then this guy will be tired sooner or later!

Things that consume O’Neill’s physical energy naturally have a "meat shield group" to do.

What Yao Ming has to do is to "make up the knife" at this time, so as not to let this guy have any chance to save effort. It may be difficult for other second-year students to do this, because these guys who have not been in the league for a long time don’t know what the veteran’s method is to save effort, but Yao Ming seems to be in the second grade, but in fact it’s in the 10th grade. It’s too clear about these things...

It can be seen from this time.

This "choked" O'Neill!

And this is just the beginning.

In the rest of the time, Yao Ming continued to do such "make-up"!

O'Neill was really depressed in his heart.

It's been a long time since he played so depressed.

Obviously he is still scoring goals, but I don't know why, he doesn't feel any joy at all...

"beep!"

At 4 minutes 54 seconds, Tom made a substitution and replaced Kevin Cato with Battier. The latter is out of breath!

You know, this guy ended the first quarter in more than 6 minutes. Although he played at the beginning of the second quarter, he didn't use much effort in the first few minutes. His strength was in the two of the two after O'Neal played. Three minutes have been exhausted, which shows the effort of confronting O'Neal. Of course, it is also enough to show how much Kevin Cato devoted himself in the confrontation with O'Neal.

It's a pity that O'Neill is just a "big blood cow", this guy's stamina is too thick!

Kevin Cato was out of breath now, and looking at him, his breath became slightly thicker.

However, Yao Ming can clearly feel that this guy's physical loss is obviously faster than in the first quarter... After more than 6 minutes in the first quarter, this guy still looks okay!

"Leave it to you, buddy!"

"Don't let this guy have a chance to breathe!"

Kevin Cato and Battelle high-five, passing the "torch" that tormented O'Neal to him.

Speaking of which, so far this season, Battelle has not averaged a lot of minutes per game with the Rockets, just over 7 minutes, but when the "Meat Shield" swaggered through the market, he would be brought back home, and he was obviously treated as Battelle. Is a member of their "Meat Shield Group".

Just kidding, can this body not be a member of the "Meat Shield Group"?

Battle nodded.

He was actually a little nervous, this is the "Christmas War"! And it's just the second quarter. He never thought he could play in this game, or at such an early time...

Yao Ming looked at his nervousness and instinctively wanted to encourage him with "Duncan's Hand", but soon he realized that the buddy in front of him was Battelle, so he quickly changed from touching his head to patting his back.

Encouragement: "It's okay, bus, **** him and it's over!"

Battelle nodded again.

Yes, that's it!

The game restarted. Because O'Neal did a good job in the second quarter, the Lakers plan to continue to give him the ball.

Battelle can be regarded as an "old comrade", and his skills at the basket position are supposed to be good, but when he comes in contact with O'Neal, the "big and small kings" are immediately separated.

O'Neal quickly got him behind him.

"Hey, it's almost!" Thibodeau looked at Battelle so easily that O'Neill got stuck behind him, and shook his head slightly.

Tom said: "There is no way, O'Neill is full of firepower at this moment, let alone Battelle, even Kevin Cato is afraid that he can't compete with him, and you have to have old rivers and lakes like Carl and Dikembe! "

"But it's okay. If it can last for 2 minutes, it can be considered a very good task!"

Thibodeau nodded, but also, Battelle is the third or even fourth choice for the fourth and fifth positions, and he really can't be too demanding.

"Bah!"

O'Neill completed dunks again.

With his dunk, the Lakers lead by 8 points.

But in the eyes of "Shark", there was no excitement, instead, it became more impatient.

He knows his situation best, and there is not much time left for him in this game!

"Guard, guard, guard against the next attack of these guys, let's open the difference to 10 points!"

He shouted anxiously.

Such an impatient "Big Shark" made the Lakers team reporters on the sideline a little dazed, because he knew very well that this buddy is not someone who would be so serious in the regular season!

Although this is called the "Christmas War", in essence, it is actually a regular season!

So serious and eager!

It seems that the Rockets guys put a lot of pressure on him tonight...

In fact, the "Meat Shield Group" is now so famous in the league. It should be expected that O'Neal will be consumed like this. It is said that as a professional reporter, the team reporter of the Lakers should not be surprised, but the past three or four Over the years, O'Neal was really buggy. Such a buggy guy has unknowingly made others feel that "this guy is invincible", especially the guys in Los Angeles. Their impression of O'Neal has changed even more. It became "rest assured, this guy can solve everything." Therefore, seeing this eager O'Neal on the field, this team reporter also felt a little more unreal.

"Dang!"

"Rebound!"

The Rockets counterattacked here, and the ball was not given to Yao Ming several times. The Rockets exhausted O’Neal and the Lakers were not idle. They also gave Yao Ming a lot of defensive strength, not at all. His chance to catch the ball, and then let Kobe and Francis directly face up. Francis's state was originally normal tonight. Now he is facing the guy who was the best defensive team in the league last season. It is even more difficult. In entanglement, Francis is struggling. The ball was given to Battier, who missed a three-pointer.

Yao Ming yelled, and the battle between Battelle and O'Neal under the basket became more fierce.

But once again, O'Neal grabbed the spot.

Batel, who was stuck behind him, suddenly became anxious. He didn't get stuck just now, but he hasn't gotten stuck yet. What a **** thing, I'm so confused!

When Battelle was anxious, his muscle memory reacted. He had been playing wrestling since he was a child, but he just raised his hand and pulled O'Neal directly down.

Originally, O'Neal, who was staring at the rebounds and preparing to grab the rebounds, felt a physical imbalance. When he recovered, he was already lying on the ground.

Damn it!

What is this for?

Is this playing ball?

O'Neill's three views are about to be subverted.

He struggled to get up.

But he just sat up with one hand on his shoulder, and then he couldn't climb out anymore.

Damn it!

Can this be played anymore!

Can't I stand up?

Originally, O'Neill was still a little angry, and being so held up, all turned into grievances. He knew very well that he had encountered hard stubbornness.

I haven't grabbed the rebound yet, can I get you up?

It was Battelle who held him up and prevented him from getting up.

I saw him holding O'Neal with one hand, not allowing him to sit up completely, while looking up at the rebound.

Then he held the ball in his arms with one hand.

Grab it!

I got you but let go!

The referees are here!

You let go!

O'Neal was about to cry.

Finally, the referee rushed to "rescue" O'Neal from Battelle, as if he had fished a "fathead fish" out of a fishing net.

O'Neill's grievance!

Battelle’s expression was more aggrieved than him, and he spread his hands, as if saying, this is also a foul?

Of course, in the end, at the referee's signal, he, like Lagarbelle, had a second-degree malicious foul and was fined.

It is worth mentioning that there were not many boos on the sidelines when Lagabe was sent out, but this time when Battelle was sent out, the audience was full of boos.

The reason is also very simple. The former Lagabe offended Kobe. As far as the latter’s current situation is concerned, this is nothing. Now, Battelle offends the "Lord of the City" in Los Angeles. Can they bear it?

Can't help it at all, okay!

Battelle slumped away. The Lakers performed technical foul free throws on the court. Originally, the ball should be given to the team with the best and most stable free throw. It would have to be Kobe, but O'Neal disagreed, and Phil Jackson only Devin George was allowed to take free throws. As a result, Devin George, who averaged about 75% of his free throws per game this season, missed free throws.

Kobe looked at the situation, his mouth was so high!

Don't let me punish, huh~

Battelle was sent off. His time on the court was a little shorter than Tom expected, only about one minute, but it's okay, one minute will do!

Tom beckoned to Karl Malone, it's up to you!

Okay!

Karl Malone, who had been off the court for more than 6 minutes, played happily.

O'Neill is gasping for breath. It's a good time to be bullied. He doesn't have much time in this state... Is he still happy to bully the "big shark"?

Karl Malone's judgment was accurate. In the first round of confrontation, O'Neal was firmly suppressed by him. The depression and frustration of the first quarter of "The Postman" was wiped out in this confrontation.

no surprise!

Yao Ming looked at him like this, and he whispered in his heart: There is no bad land, only exhausted cows!

O'Neal is already considered a "big blood bull", but it is still exhausted from the consumption of turns, this has not even ended the first half...

After the "Meat Shield Group" put all their energy into this fierce firepower!

That works!

Yao Ming has a new understanding of the "grinding" attribute of the "Meat Shield Group".

In fact, if you really want to say it, it was really impossible for the "Meat Shield Group" to consume O'Neal so quickly, even if their firepower was fully fired, they would not have such a big effect. This was completely caused by the moment Battelle raised his hand. Yes, this fall directly caused O'Neal to lose strength...

Of course, I should say that even without that fall, O'Neal's physical fitness can't last the whole game, after all, this game hasn't even ended in the first half! The "Human Shield Group" attribute of "grinding people" is indeed good enough.

O'Neal also found out that he was wrong at this time. In this game, he shouldn't have the idea of ​​offensive from the beginning, but should try his best to avoid the Rockets' "meat shield group" and wait for the game to enter the second half before starting to exert force.

However, he really did not expect that there are really teams that can consume his physical energy just like this in the first half...

It's a pity that it is too late to discover this error, because his stamina has begun to have problems.

What's more terrible is that Yao Ming, who has been "mending knives" by his side, is not just "mending knives" at this moment. He has begun to fully participate in the "massive strangulation" of O'Neal by the "Meat Shield Group".

O'Neal, who is already alone and difficult to support, is in a more difficult situation now!

With 2 minutes left in the second quarter, O'Neal was already on the court with "one step and three shaking"...This still happened without confrontation.

Really wait for him to drop into the basket, less than two seconds, he will have to be squeezed out of his original position by the Rockets inside.

"Group of fish" swallowed "big shark"!

"Big Tiger" fell under the mouth of "Wolves"!

This scene made the Lakers fans quite uncomfortable. Since the 1999-00 season, O'Neal has always been an invincible "big shark" image, but now... exhausted!

This caused cracks in the minds of these Lakers fans, the invincible Lakers No. 34.

Is the "big shark" also getting old?

For the Lakers fans, this situation is undoubtedly more difficult for them to accept than losing the game!

But the facts are right in front of them, they can't accept it, they seem to have to accept it...

"Dang!"

When "Big Shark" failed to attack again and landed and gasped for breath, Phil Jackson sighed helplessly and replaced him.

Judging from his appearance, people who don't know think that the Lakers are behind now!

But in fact, the Lakers are still leading by 7 points right now...

Tom watched the Lakers take the "Big Sharks" off the court and simply put Yao Ming off the court. He didn't seem to know that the "big sharks" had ended, it happened to be a good time for the Rockets to chase points!

On the Lakers side, Kobe led the entire team to continue playing.

I have to say that this guy is in a really good state tonight.

The end of "Big Shark" did not affect him at all.

He scored 5 points in a row and helped the Lakers consolidate the point difference to 9 at the end of the half.

To be honest, Kobe's score is very timely and morale at the moment, but there are not many cheers on the scene.

The camera on the sidelines also didn't give him close-up shots.

Only Vanessa cheered loudly towards Kobe.

Kobe smiled at her, as if her support was enough!

"The Rockets have a terrible defensive arrangement for Kobe tonight!"

During the half-time break, Drexler looked at Kobe's score column. This guy has scored 17 points.

Even if he is Kobe, the guy who averaged nearly 28 points per game this season is a bit too good.

Bill Walton said: "Tonight, the Rockets played Kobe on single defense and did not plan to change moves. Obviously, the Rockets' main goal in the first half was not Kobe..."

It has to be said that this is the commentator who has been explaining the ball for more than ten years, and it is really sharp to see the essence through the question.

In fact, Tom, who was back in the locker room at the moment, praised every Rockets player loudly, praising them for "good work", especially the "Meat Shield", and even more so: "The results you accomplished are better than I expected. better!"

Originally, Tom thought that it would take at least three quarters for the Rockets "Meat Shield" to consume O'Neal out of a physical crisis.

Unexpectedly!

Do it in half time!

The counterattack can be advanced...

"The second half is still the same tactics, the offensive end can burst into the inside more!"

Since O'Neal's stamina has been consumed, it is impossible for him to devote too much energy to the defensive end. It means that the only thing the Lakers can defend at the basket in the second half is the too old "Cobra" to die. Suddenly, keep this "snake" into a sieve!

"OK!"

"Go! go! go!"

Tom was very passionate about what he said, and when everyone cheered up after talking, they were all full of enthusiasm.

Obviously, although they are behind at this moment, the Rockets are not worried about all of them...

Seeing that their teammates were so confident, Battelle and Lagabere also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, especially Lagabere, their eyes were less guilty.

He secretly said: It seems that my impulse didn't make us lose the game, that's good, that's good...

The Rockets officially launched a counterattack from the second half.

According to Tom's arrangement, the Rockets all began to storm the inside.

Sure enough, as Tom expected, O'Neal didn't dare to invest too much on the defensive end. The Lakers had only one Grant on the defensive end. As far as his current ability to protect the frame, really, five **** can prevent one, they are all supernormal!

The Rockets quickly entered the offensive rhythm. The Lakers told them for a few minutes. As O’Neal panted again and quickly lost the battle, the Rockets scored 7-2 in a wave**. At 6 minutes and 13 seconds of the third quarter, the Lakers' lead was easily narrowed to within 3 points.

Immediately afterwards, it was Yao Ming who stood up and played consecutive singles, officially leading the difference!

The whole process seems so easy and freehand!

Mike Brin looked at the Rockets' turn-around, and said what he thought at the moment: "This Rockets makes the score difference of nearly 10 points look so unworthy!"

And his idea is also the idea of ​​all the fans who are watching this game at the moment.

Because after the stalemate ended, the Lakers really had no power to parry!

However, everyone on the Rockets is not surprised.

Especially when the two of Tom and Thibodeau watched Yao Ming hit the overtake score, they showed their expressions as they should.

After all, all the Rockets completed their pre-game task well in the first half tonight: to put O'Neal into a physical crisis...

Having achieved this, the Rockets want to overtake the score is not a matter of minutes?

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets' lead has reached 8 points.

It's equivalent to saying that they surpassed by almost 17 points in the third quarter...

However, the Lakers did not surrender so easily-a team with Kobe is destined to be impossible to surrender easily. He will fight to the last second, and the Lakers must continue to fight to the last minute.

To say that Kobe's form tonight is indeed very good, with a lot of points in each quarter, but it is a pity that Kobe in this period can't rely on him to turn the game back.

This is also very clear, so in this game, Tom did not arrange double-teaming and assisting defense from start to finish. He used all his power to consume O'Neal.

Besides, although the Lakers still have Kobe, don't the Rockets have a good scorer? Yao Ming hasn't been very active yet! This is the fourth quarter of the game, and it's time to come out for some activities!

It’s just that no one thought that Kobe, who had been performing very well in the first few quarters, actually played a stronger offensive in the fourth quarter. In less than 10 minutes, he scored 15 points. This scoring explosive power brought the scene. The fans of the Lakers were dumbfounded. The Lakers fans who barely showed Kobe's face throughout the game couldn't help it anymore and cheered loudly for him.

But in Kobe's eyes, there are still no such guys, he still looks at Vanessa.

Vanessa was very happy, because this was what she wanted to see!

Drexler was also scared to repeat his evaluation of Kobe during the intermission: "Let me just say it, this guy is in great condition, really great!"

Tom on the sidelines was secretly sticking his tongue out, thinking: No, he won't let this guy throw his hands out, right?

In this game, all his arrangements were made on the premise that Kobe would not break out. He could let Kobe score 28, 30 or even 32 points... it doesn’t matter.

But now in this situation, he glanced at Kobe's data column, and the score was already 40 points away.

That's...something big!

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

However, fortunately, the fourth quarter is not Kobe's show alone. Yao Ming is also constantly scoring. Although not as exaggerated as Kobe's 15 in a single quarter, he also scored about 12 points.

This also makes the Rockets still lead by 4 points.

But it is undeniable that this game is indeed anxious because of Kobe.

Yao Ming looked at Kobe's explosive performance in the fourth quarter and couldn't help but said: No wonder this guy wants to grab the boss position with O'Neal! This strength has indeed reached the point where he can be a master.

Although Yao Ming is asked to compare Kobe and O'Neal, he must still think that O'Neal's current dominance is stronger, but who is Kobe?

He has the ability to be the boss, and it is absolutely impossible for him to continue to be the second owner!

He is such a guy...

So don't talk about O'Neal, who is the current leader of the Lakers, unless the position of the leader is given to Kobe, otherwise there must be conflicts.

Moreover, O'Neal's emotional intelligence has caused such a big conflict with Kobe, and if you switch to someone else, you may have to "draw the gun" seven or eight years earlier.

But fortunately...

Yao Ming also scored 12 points!

The Rockets therefore succeeded in leading the score difference to the last 1 minute and 13 seconds of the game under Kobe's fierce offensive.

Unfortunately, there are not many, only 4 points!

"Don't let the Chinese champion take the ball anymore!"

Seeing the hope of winning, Phil Jackson was anxious, and he yelled towards the court.

It became difficult for Yao Ming to catch the ball, but he simply planned it. A very restrictive move completely emptied the Lakers’ defense line. Francis understood and pretended to look for him, and then waited for Robert Horry to be pulled by Yao Ming. When the wing was empty, the ball was quickly given to the latter.

Horry hit the basket with a three-pointer!

With less than 1 minute left in the game time, the "Mr. Key" who has always had no sense of existence used his best method to help his team basically secure the victory!

The Lakers fans watched this scene~www.novelmt.com~ with eyes full of familiarity. That was how Robert Horry helped the Lakers win a key victory in the playoffs...

"This is Robert Horry's revenge!" Bill Walton said, "The Lakers paid the price for them to give up Robert Horry in the summer in this game!"

After Kobe scored this goal in Horry, he was obviously anxious. He was anxious to get back the three-pointer, but he missed the shot. Yao Ming steadily protected the rebound.

The Lakers had no choice but to foul.

They remembered after committing. By the way, this is Yao Ming who made 87.5% of his free throws, not O'Neal who made 52.3% of his free throws...

Suddenly, everyone on the Lakers and the Lakers fans on the scene became even more desperate.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Yao Ming didn't have an accident, and made two free throws. The Rockets smoothly extended the point difference to 9 points, and finally secured the victory 100 to 91!
