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

Chapter 138 Mr. President, Have You Seen It?

Webber quickly dropped Horry, returned to the inside, and defended O'Neal with Divac.

Bibby from the outside also double-teamed from time to time to interfere with O'Neal's dribbling.

Lu Yuanzhi was watching from a distance, as long as O'Neal showed a slight flaw, he would return to the inside and do O'Neal again on the defensive end!

Divac and Webber made more and more defensive moves, but the referee turned a blind eye.

Referee Bavita: Sir, have you seen it?I successfully completed the task!

O'Neal sat off Divac with one buttocks, and put an elbow on Weber's chest. Taking advantage of the gap between the two, he quickly joined the ball, turned around and came to the basket, ready to announce him with a powerful two-handed slam dunk. Still dominant at the basket.

No one can play wild on him!

Lu Yuanzhi also knew that he must not let O'Neal dunk at this time.

He quickly ran to the inside, used the speed of sprinting, jumped high, and then directly hit O'Neal's waist without facing the ball, and then slapped O'Neal's forearm.

"Snapped!"

Lu Yuanzhi slapped O'Neal's arm with his palm, making a huge crisp sound, which spread throughout the arena through the microphone under the basket.

O'Neal was hit by a sudden side impact and his center of gravity was unstable. After being fouled so unreasonably, he finally couldn't catch the ball anymore.

The ball was shot out of the bottom line, the referee Baveta finally could no longer pretend to be blind, and called Lu Yuanzhi for a foul.

Bavita: Sir, have you seen it?This ball is really not that I want to give O'Neal a free throw, but the three of the Kings are too much!You can't blow it!

Divac, Weber, Lu Yuanzhi: Hurry up!We want him to go free throw right now, don't let him go inside and dunk.

O'Neal looked unhappy and wanted to pick up the basketball on the ground and vent his anger towards the basket.

Why, O'Neill, seeing you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, why do you want to make a big windmill on the spot?
Lu Yuanzhi, with quick eyes and quick hands, directly picked up the ball and quickly put it into the hands of the referee.

Hmph, you still want to wreak havoc on our basket at this time?

Beautiful!
O'Neal walked to the free throw line depressed, his chest heaving violently.

That brat is too unmannered, doesn't he even give him a chance to vent?
O'Neal, who was mentally unstable, "missed two free throws".

However, everyone had little hope for O'Neal's free throw shooting. Although his overall free throw shooting rate this season has been higher than 60%, everyone still looks at him with the same old eyes.

It is not news that O'Neal missed two free throws, but O'Neal made 13 of 9 free throws is definitely big news!
The Lakers players saw that O'Neal was about to hit back at the basket, but was intercepted by Lu Yuanzhi again, and their thinking went wrong again.

Ah, O'Neal is really dying!

In the past, even if three or four people intercepted him under the basket, he would have scored this "Answer Ball".

But now, not only was he stopped by Divac and Webb, but he was also pulled down from the air by that kid from the Kings.

In the last game, Turkoglu hung on him and he all forced the ball in.

But this time, Max Lu was able to stop him from dunking with a foul.

Being pulled down by a small forward at the basket has never happened before!

Sure enough, the all-powerful O'Neal is gone, and now O'Neal is just a slightly more powerful mortal!
O'Neill: You call Max's body a small forward?

In any case, the unconditional trust the Lakers players had in O'Neal slowly began to crumble.

Perhaps, O'Neal is still the strongest man on the team.

But it is no longer the only one in the league.

So, trailing by 17 points in the fourth quarter without the omnipotent O'Neal, can we really come back?
Maybe it's time to give up this game and prepare for the next one.

The thought of giving up, which had never occurred before, appeared in the minds of the Lakers players.

The Kings grabbed backcourt rebounds and quickly pushed for a fast break. Then when they reached the frontcourt, they realized that the opportunity was not good and decisively returned to the positional battle.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and Bibby didn't make a shot from the outside until the last 3 seconds of attack time.

The ball missed, but it didn't matter, it took another 20 more seconds.

mean!

How despicable!
O'Neal was upset. Originally, he would not have been so anxious when the Kings were playing like this, but he was eager to regain his face. This time, he did not take a slow position, but followed the team and ran quickly towards the Kings half.

He's asking for position inside again.

Divac was pushed back again and again.

O'Neal once again put one foot in the paint.

Fox, who can hold the ball, can't pass the ball in.

Lu Yuanzhi spread out his two long arms, covering Fox's whole body.

Fox didn't dare to force a pass to O'Neal.

The Lakers are already standing on the edge of a cliff. If this offense makes a mistake, Fox is the culprit.

Fox was scared.

He passed the ball to Fisher beside him.

Lu Yuanzhi took a step back and got stuck in Fisher's passing route to O'Neal.

Fisher frowned, not daring to risk passing the ball.

Compared with Fox, he is more unwilling to be a blame man. He has a better plan for his career, and he must not be nailed to the pillar of shame at this time.

Fisher held the ball with one hand and waved wildly with the other hand, causing Fox to run away and take his defender away.

Seeing Fox running towards the weak side corner, Lu Yuanzhi dawdled for a while before leaving Fisher's pass path.

But after such a long delay, O'Neal has been pushed out of the penalty area by Divac, and Weber slowly approaches O'Neal.

Opportunities go by like this, and so does time.

In the past, Fox and Fisher might have been uneasy, but now, well, even if the pass is passed in, Shaq may not be able to make it.

So why take the risk of passing it on?
Come down and fight!
The on-court choices of the Lakers' role players have also changed unconsciously.

O'Neal finally caught the ball, and then under the attack of Divac and Weber, he scored a goal with a small hook.

The point difference returned to 15 points again.

But in the fourth quarter, 2 and a half minutes had passed, and the time left for the Lakers was only 9 minutes.

As for the little hook goal, many Lakers players believed that O'Neal was indeed dead.

Are you still kidding now?
According to your previous habits, would you give up without knocking down a few Kings insiders?

The Kings and Lakers continued to entangle, and when it was halfway through the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides remained at 13 points.

O'Neill's feeling of weakness, which was temporarily suppressed because of his full anger, struck again at this time.

Although helpless, Phil Jackson still had to replace O'Neal ahead of time to let him continue to rest.

This is the second game of the series. After falling behind by a big score, O'Neal's physical fitness has a big problem again. There is no need to fuck O'Neal so hard.

People are especially vulnerable to injury when they are tired.

Phil Jackson didn't dare to risk O'Neal's injury and continued to put him on the court.

Seeing that O'Neal was replaced, Adelman also heaved a sigh of relief, and then replaced Webber.

Weber hasn't rested for even a minute in this game so far, which is no better than O'Neal.

It's just that the other players of the Kings stepped forward on the offensive end and shared most of Weber's pressure.

What Weber needs to do is to stand up and be the man who made the final decision after the Kings' two offensive tactics failed.

However, so far, Webber has played more than 42 minutes, which is actually the first in the game. At this time, O'Neal was finally replaced. It seemed that the Lakers might give up the game, and Webber could finally get off the court and take a rest.
