Some people may ask, why didn't Phil Jackson replace O'Neal during the game?

Because... I can't!

The Lakers don't have an advantage inside. If O'Neal is replaced, what about Mourning, who is in decline, and Millsap, who is still a rookie?

The combination of Bynum and Gasol, having experienced the Spurs war, and then experienced the first game with the Lakers, has fully proved their strength.

You let Mourning and Millsap face them, and the defensive pressure the Lakers face can be imagined.

Of course, at this time, some fans couldn't help scolding the reporter who asked the question after the game.

Old Deng Levy slapped himself in the face and didn't say anything. If the reporter didn't remind him, old Deng Levy would not have thought of it!

However, it's all the same thing.

Even if there is no reporter, someone from the Clippers will react, it's just a matter of time.

In a sense, in the playoffs with O'Neal, if you don't "cut the shark" a few times, it is a disrespect to O'Neal.

It's just that what old Dunleavy did was really a little crazy.

The game is over, and the big question left for the Lakers now is how to deal with this shark-killing tactic.

The Lakers coaching staff is a bit overwhelmed.

Because O'Neal's problem has existed since the league, it is unrealistic to expect him to make free throws all of a sudden.

And the old Dunleavy dared to make you O'Neal make 40 penalties, and maybe he would dare to make you more in the next game.

Theoretically speaking, for 12 people in a game, all of them will be sent off 72 times. If the control is reasonable, a maximum of 50 penalties is still possible.

Replace O'Neal?

This is the last move.

If it wasn't really pushed to that point, the Lakers coaching staff wouldn't want to do that.

So the best solution is to let O'Neal make that damn free throw.

The next game is in two days.

On the first day of training, the entire coaching staff of the Lakers surrounded O'Neal to guide him in training.

Someone who helped O'Neill adjust his free throw posture;

Someone who helped O'Neal adjust his free throw strength;

There are even some who are giving O'Neill psychological counseling.

There are all kinds of things, so lively.

But the effect is not very good.

And in the final analysis, the training ground and the game are still different.

The in-team training on this side of the field is about the same, and O'Neal has not improved much over there.

At this time, Sun Hao walked over to take a look, touched his chin, and then said:

"Shaq, why don't you try carrying the urinal?"

As soon as these words came out, Phil Jackson was the first to laugh.

The others laughed too.

O'Neill stared at Sun Hao with wide eyes.

"Rick Barry has made 92 percent of his free throws for his career."

Sun Hao is very serious.

In fact, he knew what was the root cause of O'Neal's inaccurate free throws. It was nothing more than bigger palms, higher shooting points, too fast ball speed, and a series of reasons that big men would have.

Some people say no, Yao Ming and Nowitzki are very accurate in their penalties.

Yes, and then, you can't count too many.

Because there are far more inaccurate punishments than accurate ones.

But the end of the urinal is a perfect solution to these problems.

In addition to Barry, there is also a player with a small name named Onuaku, a marginal player of the Houston team.

He used the urinal, took 4 free throws in the NBA, and scored all 4.

Someone will definitely ask, this action is so easy to use, why the NBA doesn't use it.

Because, idol burden!

Can you imagine the scene of Kobe or Tracy McGrady taking free throws with the urinal, that must be the ruined childhood series.

Well, that feeling is the same as when children in the future see a spoof video of Ultraman being beaten up by a monster on social media.

"Shaq, for our dynasty, please sacrifice yourself."

Sun Hao saw that O'Neill didn't respond, and then persuaded him.

"just kill me!"

O'Neill's reaction was also genuine.

Yes, it would be better to kill him!

Not to mention the NBA, just any BA league in any village, if you want to use the urinal, you will be laughed to death.

Because that action is exclusive to women's basketball!

For male athletes? You must have taken estrogen last night!

Sun Hao shook his head with a smile.

But what to do, you can't go to old Dunleavy and say: You said you would beat us head-on, so stop your dirty shark-slashing tactics!

Um, what about shooting Wanwan idol dramas?

"No kidding, there is one thing I think can really help Shaq improve his shooting percentage."

What Sun Hao said next attracted everyone's attention.

And what he said next made O'Neill nod.

What Sun Hao said was to let O'Neal consume his energy first, and then make free throws.

This is equivalent to a simulated game scene.

In Kobe's "666" training method, free throws are practiced last, which is also the reason.

Not to mention Kobe, as long as he is a normal basketball player, he knows the difference in free throw shooting percentage between those with sufficient physical strength and insufficient physical strength.

Practice this well, as he said, it will help O'Neal improve a little bit.

Ever since, in the next two days, O'Neill was training in this way.

When the Lakers were preparing for the game, the footsteps of the conference semifinals did not stop.

The Magic returned to the home court, and with the brave performance of Arenas' 40 points, they finally pulled back a victory, leading the Wizards to a score of 1 to 2;

Relying on their excellent defense, the Celtics have won two games in a row, and the big score is already leading 2 to 1;

Josh Howard of the Lone Ranger team made a forced comeback, but his condition was mediocre. The Nuggets had already led 3-0, and they were on the verge of sweeping;

According to this play, the Lakers will most likely play against the Nuggets in the next round.

What are you thinking!

Think about how to get past the Clippers.

The 50-meter machete in old Dunleavy's hand has already been sharpened, and he is just waiting to kill fish for dinner!

However, what should come still has to come.

After two days of preparation, the fourth game of the Los Angeles Derby is about to kick off.

Prior to this, the Wizards in the East beat the Magic again with a big score of 3 to 1, and they were one step away from advancing.

Now let's see if the Lakers can be happy, and it will be 3-1.

If they are pulled by the Clippers again, the two sides will have to go to Tianwang Mountain to show it off.

At the Staples Center, the Clippers also gave fans uniform blue T-shirts, which matched with the home team's white jerseys.

This is hoping to take advantage of the momentum of the previous game and cooperate with the cheers of the fans to make another victory.

It's just, well, more than half of the fans at the scene didn't wear them, and many fans even put on Zijin T-shirts on purpose.

The Clippers' management said it was very angry, but there was nothing they could do.

There is a saying that it is not responsible for the crowd. If all the Lakers fans are kicked out, then more than half of the so-called home court will be vacated.

And after watching such live scenes, it is estimated that the Clippers' T-shirts in this year's playoffs will become out of print.

The game was about to start, and players from both sides began to appear in the arena one after another.

The footage of the scene was given to O'Neill immediately.

After experiencing such a wonderful game last time, it is difficult for O'Neal not to be noticed.

"How many free throws do you think Shaq's going to take tonight?"

In fact, when the camera showed O'Neal, Breen was already smiling and chatting with Miller at the commentary booth.

"I don't think Shaq will take too many penalties tonight."

Miller thought for a while and said.

"Why?"

There is not much difference between commentary and cross talk, and Brin is a fan tonight.

"I think there will be two situations during the game. The first one is that Shaq's penalty is more accurate at the beginning, so the Clippers will definitely not cut it."

Brin nodded, and what Miller said was the ideal state the Lakers wanted most.

Of course, the probability may not be that great.

"The second is that Shaq is still inaccurate as in the last game, and Phil will replace him."

Miller continued.

"The Lakers can't do without Shaq inside."

Brin opened his mouth to remind.

If it is possible to replace O'Neal, Jackson probably did that in the last game.

"I know Phil, he's the type of guy who doesn't fall twice in one place."

However, Miller's next words made Brin nod in agreement after thinking for a while.

Miller, after all, was also the person who had just had a positive encounter with Phil Jackson and the Lakers, and what he said had the most say.

The meaning of not falling down twice in a row at the same place has another meaning besides the fact that you may not fall down the second time.

That is, even if you fall down again, you will change your posture.

But no matter what it means, O'Neal will indeed be like Miller said tonight, and will not take too many free throws.

Of course, which direction the game will go depends on O'Neal's free throws at the beginning.

Both sides have finished warming up, and the starters are starting to appear one after another.

For the Lakers, Sun Hao, Posey, Ariza, Mourning, O'Neal;

For the Clippers, Fisher, Kobe, Barnes, Gasol, Bynum;

The game started quickly, and both sides were playing conventional tactics.

The old Dunleavy seems to want to do what he did on the field, and he is going to use the shark-killing tactic after entering the rotation.

However, the progress of the game was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

O'Neill obviously played with a feeling of displeasure.

This is also completely normal. If he is cut off and still shows nothing for the whole game, then he is not a big shark.

O'Neal kept attacking the Clippers basket at the beginning.

Bynum said that his younger brother can't stand it, after all, he is only a second-year player!

Soon, Bynum was fouled off by two fouls played by O'Neal.

The power of the big shark can be seen.

An unexpected situation appeared, and then the old Dunleavy said: Well, if this is the case, let's get to the point early!

After coming off the bench for two consecutive fouls by Aaron Williams, it was time to come.

O'Neal, get to the free throw line!

Sun Hao looked at O'Neal who was shaking at the free throw line, and felt that tonight's game would be very difficult again.

O'Neal getting to the free throw line so early means that the previous two days of training were wasted.

Now, we can only see whether O'Neal's penalty is accurate.

Behind the basket, fans wearing blue T-shirts began to interfere with O'Neal by waving air sticks.

O'Neal put his left hand on his hip, raised the ball with his right hand, aimed at the basket, took a breath, and then shot.

"when!"

The basketball hits the hoop.

Phil Jackson shook his head.

This is, a bad start!

"Relax, Shaq!"

At this time, Sun Hao spoke encouragingly from the outside.

O'Neal turned his head when he heard the voice, glanced at Sun Hao, then nodded with his mouth pouted, indicating that he was fine.

O'Neal's second free throw.

The same action, this time O'Neill took a little more time to aim at the frame.

"when!"

still none!

O'Neal's free throw feel tonight is not good!

The cheers erupted in an instant.

This is God on the side of the Clippers, let them equalize the big score in the series!

However, the Shark Shackles had just begun, and O'Neal's mentality was not bad, and he quickly retreated to halftime.

The Clippers hit the frontcourt, and Kobe suddenly scored to Barnes in the corner.

It's a pity that Barnes missed a three-pointer.

O'Neal protected the backcourt rebound.

It's not a loss if you guard against it.

Then, Williams went on to foul O'Neal.

The big man deep in the Clippers' bench, tonight's task is not only to grab the board, but also to foul.

O'Neill frowned a little.

Although this is just so far, but this sign has already reminded him unconsciously of his experience in the last game.

This thing has a psychological shadow!

Sun Hao walked up to O'Neill at this time and gave him some psychological guidance.

O'Neill nodded, not sure if he listened or not.

When he got to the free throw line, O'Neal adjusted his breathing and took the first free throw.

"when!"

The ball hit the back edge of the rim, but bounced and fell!

Finally scored!

There was a burst of cheers from the Lakers fans at the scene.

Well, the unique picture of the derby.

O'Neill wiped the sweat from his brow.

At this point, he was sweating. Although the big shark was not afraid of anything, he was still a little nervous.

Because of his free throws, it is likely to determine whether the Lakers can complete this dynasty.

Second penalty.

Still exhaled.

He was obviously looking for the feeling of the previous penalty.

Sun Hao also watched O'Neal's free throw at this time, silently adding luck to him.

As long as O'Neal makes both free throws, the Clippers will not dare to continue to chop sharks unscrupulously.

"when!"

However, it is a pity that although Sun Hao has a system, he does not give people the metaphysical function of luck.

O'Neal's second free throw hit the basket!

O'Neill swears and looks a little discouraged.

It was this kind of discouragement that kept him from retreating immediately.

Over there, Gasol reacted quickly after taking the rebound, and the Clippers played a fast break in a blink of an eye.

Kobe received a pass from Gasol and rushed to the frontcourt, fought against Posey and scored with the bar.

This time, the Lakers lost money.

The Lakers were about to serve in the backcourt, but at this moment, Phil Jackson turned around and called Gortat!

Miller was right, Phil Jackson wasn't the type to fall twice in a row in the same spot.

In fact, what Miller didn't say was that when he got the team's activation list before the game, he saw that Gortat, who hadn't been activated in the previous three games, was on the list.

This is actually a signal.

Gortat came on to replace O'Neill, and the Polish Hammers looked a little nervous.

After all, he rarely has the chance to play in the regular season, and this time he will directly play such an exciting derby.

This challenge is not small at all.

At the other end of the court, seeing O'Neal go off the court, the old Dunleavy had a triumphant smile on his face.

The Lakers without O'Neal are just fish on the pallet! Let him slaughter!

Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

"Defend, Sun and the others can't beat us alone!"

Dunleavy Sr. yelled at the Clippers on the field before the Lakers started their offense.
