NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 127 Beat LA
The first half of the game ended quickly, the score was 48:53, and the Kings led by 5 points.

Adelman was very satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half, leading the score. O'Neal and Kobe's shots and scoring were also limited. O'Neal scored 9 points and Kobe scored 7 points, both of which were far lower than their playoff counterparts. average half-time points.

Of course, the Kings also paid a corresponding price, that is, Horry scored a team-high 11 points, Fisher 8 points, Fox 5 points, George 2 points, Hunter 3 points, and Brian Shaw 3 points.

Almost every Lakers player on the court scored.

"Good work, lads, continue to restrict Shaq and Kobe's shots in the second half, and we will win the first game of the series!" Adelman said in high spirits in the locker room.

Likewise, in another locker room at the arena, Phil Jackson was in high spirits.

"Shaq and Kobe played very well in the first half, creating good scoring opportunities for their teammates and retaining their energy. In the second half, it's your turn to take action!"

"Increase your shot count, turn the score over, and kill the game for good!"

"Roar--"

In the second half, after defending the Kings' first attack, O'Neal settled in the low post, showing the shark's sharp and terrifying teeth.

O'Neal reached a position near the paint area, received a pass from the outside, and on the way to attack Turkoglu, he directly used his huge body to hit Divac hard.

Divac didn't hold back for a moment and immediately lost his position. O'Neal was not polite, turned directly to the basket, jumped up and prepared for a dunk.

Turkoglu arrived at this time, and without hesitation, he jumped up and hung on O'Neal's arm, trying to pull him down.

"what!"

O'Neal yelled, took Turkoglu, and dunked the ball directly!
"beep-"

The referee blows the whistle to signal that the two points are valid, and a penalty is added.

The entire Arco Arena was silent. O'Neal's performance just now when he was alone and still forcefully dunked the ball in made everyone feel that something was wrong.

O'Neal, who was still laughing and joking under the basket in the first half, came back in the second half and turned into a big shark smelling blood?

And Kobe didn't stop anymore, one person defended normally, two people defended without a big problem, and three people defended a big open!
The role players of the Lakers were developed in the first half, and after the two bosses attracted the firepower of the Kings, they were able to hit open shots.

Tied the score and overtook the score.

下半场开场3分钟，湖人队就打出了个10:2的小高潮，将比分直接改写成58:55！

Adelman called two timeouts, none of which stopped the Kings' decline.

On the bench, everyone looked frustrated.

Why don't you understand that in the first half, O'Neal and Kobe took fewer shots, not because of their own restrictions, but because the opposite side asked the role players to play more at the beginning of the game, so that they can play with feel and confidence.

The funny thing is that everyone was still so proud during the half-time break!

The thinking of the Lakers is very clear, as long as the score is not widened, O'Neal and Kobe will take over the game in the second half.

Can't make a move?

joke!

Isn't double-teaming a common thing for O'Neal and Kobe?

Do you really think we are afraid of being double-teamed?
Do you really think joint defense works?

A burst of output immediately stunned the Kings.

Not only the players were dumbfounded, but the coaching staff was also dumbfounded.

Feelings, the tactics we set, are in the hands of the Lakers?

They wish they could let their role players take more shots in the first half?Let O'Neal and Kobe save their energy?
"Bah, bang, bang!" Seeing his teammates and coaching staff in despair, Lu Yuanzhi clapped his hands vigorously, "Guys, cheer up!"

"We're only three points behind!"

Everyone looked at Lu Yuanzhi, expecting him to say something.

Usually at this time, it is not the turn of a rookie like Lu Yuanzhi to speak. You are the protagonist and you don't have to speak. Do you understand the culture of the locker room?

But Lu Yuanzhi's situation is special. Not only did he lead his teammates to earn a small amount of money, but he also stood up for Peja when Peja was elbowed, and finally defeated the villain Karl Malone.

The number one tough guy in the locker room!

Who dares not give face?

"Whether it's Shaq or Kobe, if they can score, why can't we score?"

When Lu Yuanzhi saw everyone looking over, he didn't hesitate at all. Where is this going?
Now you were just attacked by O'Neill and Kobe, and you panicked like this?

Later in the series, if the league decides to leave the field in person and give you an 8-on-5 game, why don't you just kneel down?

This will not work!

My knees are hard, I can't kneel!
You are not allowed to kneel either!

"Isn't it just for scoring? Are we still afraid of scoring with others? Didn't the Mavericks compete with us for scoring? We completely overwhelmed them?"

"Next, we're going to overthrow the Lakers!"

After hearing about the feat of defeating the Mavericks in the point-grabbing battle, the Kings players gradually came to their senses.

Yes, we can't guard O'Neal and Kobe, can the Lakers guard us?

Isn't it just about scoring points?
Our Kings are still afraid of scoring?

No matter how many points O'Neal and Kobe score, or how many points the Lakers score, as long as we score more points than them, we will be the final winner!
"Beat LA!"

"Beat LA!"

On the bench, the players shouted that familiar slogan together!
Gradually, the audience sitting behind the bench joined in the shouting, and then more and more fans heard the "Beat LA" slogan and gradually joined in.

Soon, the slogan "Beat LA" resounded throughout the Arco Arena.

The Kings players, who had just been stunned by the Lakers, were no longer confused. Amid the uniform cheers of "Beat LA" from the audience, they cheered up and played again.

This time, the Kings did not continue the zone defense strategy.

The Lakers have Kobe near the free throw line. Playing a three-two defense is simply asking for a dead end!

When O'Neal heard the cheers for defeating Los Angeles, he grinned.

This slogan has been heard round after round in the playoffs, and it has been heard in the playoffs every year, but who can really beat the Los Angeles Lakers?

Howling of a defeated dog!
As long as I Shaquille O'Neal is with the Los Angeles Lakers, no one can beat the Lakers!
O'Neal continued to take position inside, this time, the position was deeper.

Hum, you clowns, let me, O'Neal, silence you. I'm going to turn the Arco Arena into a library!

The ball came into the hands of O'Neill smoothly, O'Neill hit it, and Divac shook his body, but this time he was not knocked away.

Heh, are you still desperately resisting?Then I will give you a hard time.

O'Neill blasted the ball hard, and at the same time slammed his body back!
Divac fell down straight like a building block.

Divac stunt - diving!
O'Neal lost his support and fell to the ground.

"Doo-doo-doo-"

The referee blew the whistle, offensive foul!
"YEAH!" There was even louder cheers from the audience!
