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

Chapter 159 O'Neill, what's the use of you guarding the basket?

About 10 minutes into the third quarter, Lu Yuanzhi dunked Kobe again.

This time, it’s an alley-oop!
Phil Jackson had asked for a substitution on the technical table early on. Seeing that Kobe was dunked, he immediately wanted to cancel the substitution.

But it was too late.

The referee saw the information on the technical table and signaled the Lakers to make a substitution, replacing Kobe.

Kobe had just been dunked by Lu Yuanzhi in an alley-oop, and he was upset. Hearing that Phil Jackson replaced him, he completely exploded!

What do you mean?
I just made a fool of myself, so you replaced me?
Are you going to let fans all over the world remember that empty catch?

Or, do you think I can't guard him, so I replaced him?

Phil Jackson, will you give me an explanation later, and see if I give you a good look!

"Zen Master" was also a little flustered at this time, the timing of this substitution was too bad, but what could be done?
"Kobe, when you were attacking, I requested a substitution!" Phil Jackson pointed to the time card, which showed that there were only more than 2 minutes left, which was the time they agreed for Kobe to take a rest. .

Phil Jackson decided to give in. Although it was a bit embarrassing to explain to his players, the "Zen Master" knew better that "a man can bend or stretch". At this time, he must not have any conflict with Kobe.

At this point in the Western Conference Finals, if the Lakers have a disagreement between the generals, what are they going to do?
Just cast it!

Kobe looked at the remaining game time in the direction Phil Jackson pointed, and after thinking about it, it was indeed time for him to take a rest.

Moreover, Phil Jackson also came up to explain to himself, he gave enough face, and really can't get angry at him.

If you get angry again, it will be unreasonable.

However, I am really unhappy!

Why was Lao Tzu replaced just after he was dunked in the air?

There was no chance of calling back.

Kobe took the towel handed over by the substitute, wiped his sweat indiscriminately, and then slammed the towel on the bench.

All of a sudden, the bench that was cheering for the Lakers fell silent, and the smart people immediately sat back, not daring to be the first to show off.

After sitting down, Kobe felt something was wrong again.

It's too quiet!

"Didn't you eat? Go and cheer for your teammates!"

All the substitutes on the bench, after hearing Kobe's harsh reprimand, immediately stood up and began to cheer for their teammates on the court!
"It's okay. As long as Kobe is still the tyrant on the court, he has not lost his mind!" Phil Jackson breathed a sigh of relief. After all, things did not lead to the worst ending.

On the court, the Kings also made adjustments, replacing Divac and Webb again and replacing them with Pollard.

Do you want to use Pollard to defend against O'Neal alone?
What did the Kings have to do to dare to despise O'Neal so much?
Adelman: Is there a possibility that we failed?

Anyway, no matter who changes to defend O'Neal, none of them can defend, so it is better to let the main players take a good rest so that they can play better on the offensive end.

Pollard, who is full of energy, was very active when he came up. He kept fighting for positions with O'Neill, trying to push O'Neill out of the comfortable receiving area, but except for a drop of sweat on O'Neill's forehead, his position grabbing was useless.

Useless?
Pollard doesn’t think so!
Although O'Neal was still standing on the edge of the penalty area, Pollard grabbed a position around the front. He immediately blocked the position and prevented O'Neal from catching the ball.

Lu Yuanzhi ran to the outside to stare at Horry, while Turkoglu stood between O'Neal and his defender, ready to defend the basket at any time.

Just this kind of forward defense?
O'Neill and Fisher had this thought in their minds at the same time.

You don't push people far enough and just go around the front?

O'Neill pushed Pollard hard, and immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball after getting stuck. Fisher understood it and lobbed the ball directly to the inside.On the other side, Turkoglu immediately gave up his defender and returned to the inside to help defend.

After O'Neal pushed Pollard away to receive the lob, he turned around deftly and went directly into the basket. He ignored Turkoglu who came to defend him and dunked the ball heavily into the basket.

"beep-"

The referee's whistle also sounded, Turkoglu made a defensive foul, and O'Nealga made a free throw!
Turkoglu smiled bitterly, what a detour.

O'Neal is still standing on the edge of the penalty area, and a random lob can destroy his own inside line.

There won't really be a top inside line, he will be pushed to the outside by the defender.

There won't really be a top insider, and he will be afraid of the opponent's forward defense.

Doesn't really have a top insider, and doesn't know how to play defenders with his feet.

Howard: Brother, don't worry, in the past two years, the Magic, I tell you anything is possible.

However, Pollard quickly realized what an outrageous mistake he had made, and immediately turned back to tell Turkoglu and Lu Yuanzhi that the ball belonged to him.

Turkoglu and Lu Yuanzhi didn't mind at all. Pollard originally came up to stop the gun. If he had an idea, he would try it, and there would be no problem.

At least I tried and made mistakes for the Kings, knowing that there is no systematic tactics around the front, and I still can't deal with the current big sharks.

O'Nealga made a free throw.

The point difference returned to 11 points again.

The Kings advanced faster this time, but after the Lakers retreated, only Bibby was left holding the ball in the high position, and all other players sank to the bottom line.

During the transition between offense and defense, the Lakers players were trying hard to chase their opposing defenders. When they came to their senses, they saw this weird scene in front of them.

what happened?

There is more than 1 minute left in the game, Bibby is going to start a singles?

of course not!

After the Lakers players were all near the bottom line, Lu Yuanzhi quickly stepped up to cover for Bibby.

This tactic is exactly the "Blues" tactic the Kings developed for Lu Yuanzhi!
Lu Yuanzhi's move up to cover was very sudden this time. Fisher couldn't keep up with Bibby's footsteps and was completely blocked by Lu Yuanzhi.

"Change!"

The one guarding Lu Yuanzhi was Fox. When he saw something was wrong, he quickly shouted for a substitution.

Anyway, Lu Yuanzhi, a big man, does not have the ability to attack independently and cannot punish small players who change defense well.

The Lakers' temporary defensive switch by Fisher and Fox really hit Lu Yuanzhi's weakness.

But the "Bruce" tactic is an offensive tactic specially developed for Lu Yuanzhi, so why not take this into consideration?

After Bibby and Lu Yuanzhi finished the pick-and-roll, they rushed to the inside together, and Pollard, who had been watching the show from the bottom line, moved up second to cover Bibby.

O'Neill was about to follow up, but saw Turkoglu and Christie rushing to the inside together.

On the other side, after completing the pick-and-roll, Lu Yuanzhi also rushed to the inside.

Can't follow him out!
O'Neill immediately made a judgment.

But O'Neal, even if you guard the basket, what's the use?
