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

Chapter 166 Don’t think about that black cat
After returning to the court, it was the Lakers who had the ball.

After resting for a few minutes, O'Neal began to ask for the ball under the basket.

Sure enough, everything was as expected.

Divac held O'Neal strong, and when O'Neal hit him for the third time, he suddenly fell straight to the ground.

"Flip!"

The diving master Divac performed his stunt again, and the referee soon blew his whistle.

Divac fell to the ground with a smile on his face, but the next moment he saw the referee's gesture, his smile froze.

The referee put his hands on his hips to block the foul!
"tomato!"

Divac, who had learned a few Chinese words from Lu Yuanzhi, cursed loudly.

The Kings' foul count is up, and O'Neal will be sent directly to the free throw line.

To make matters worse, this was Divac's fifth foul.

But there are still nearly 6 minutes left in the game!

How to fight this!
Divac turned his attention to the coaching bench, wanting to see what Adelman was planning to do.

Adelman can now have any plans.

Either I will beat everyone here to death, or I will be beaten to death by you!
The will to fall into the battle, there is no life or death!
Divac has no idea what state Adelman is in now.

What would you do if you came down?
Just take these few minutes to get O'Neal down and stay there for as long as you want.

If you can't lie to O'Neill in these few minutes, what's the use of protecting you?

Stay, just stay on the court, guard O'Neal well and consume his energy.

Divac looked away. After playing basketball for so many years, he knew that Adelman wanted him to stay on the court and fight.

It's okay. Five fouls is better. The referee won't blow me out easily. I can make a little bigger moves when defending.

O'Neal made two free throws and quickly retreated after the free throw to prevent the Kings from chasing their ass.

At 90:86, the Kings still maintained a weak lead. With more than 5 minutes left in the game, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose.

The Kings attacked, and Divac competed with O'Neal for position in the paint as soon as he came up.

Of course O'Neal knew that it was almost impossible for Divac to single him, but if he was stuck on the outside, he couldn't even go back to guard the basket.

As a last resort, O'Neal could only use up his physical strength to suppress Divac.

It's just that O'Neill has an absolute strength advantage, and after firmly holding the favorable position inside, he doesn't need to expend too much physical strength.

After Lu Yuanzhi saw Divac's actions, he understood it and pulled to the outside to provide a screen for Bibby who was in possession of the ball. Everything seemed to be like a normal offense.

Fisher was very alert this time and grabbed the position early and stayed close to Bibby, but Lu Yuanzhi didn't want to block him at all and slipped into the inside with a "Slip".

Fox didn't react for a while, and was taken a step away by Lu Yuanzhi, but he was very focused, and immediately caught up, chasing behind Lu Yuanzhi's left side.

"boom!"

Weber also moved from the left, blocking Fox's path. At the same time, he blocked Horry behind him, preventing him from defending Lu Yuanzhi.

One to two!

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes widened, and Bibby passed the ball in time.

O'Neal sensed something was wrong, quickly got rid of Divac and moved to the basket.

Lu Yuanzhi took off to face O'Neal.This scene seems familiar. It has appeared several times in this series. It was Lu Yuanzhi who took the initiative to attack O'Neal.

Only this time, O'Neal moved into place in advance, not as hastily as before.

Lu Yuanzhi grabbed the ball with one hand and took the initiative to get close to O'Neal who was also jumping in the air. The powerful impact hit O'Neal. Even though O'Neal weighed nearly 300 kilograms, he was knocked back.

Who is not over 100 kilograms?
This time O'Neal jumped straight up and down. Lu Yuanzhi accelerated and rushed over. He was already prepared for confrontation. The "Enhanced Confrontation" skill was activated. His body shook slightly and was stabilized by Lu Yuanzhi again.

O'Neal didn't raise his hands high and wait for you to move in the air. He knew that the referee of this game was facing the Lakers, so he pressed down his hands unscrupulously, wanting to shoot the ball directly.

Lu Yuanzhi took the ball back, arched his body slightly, and continued to fly forward with the help of inertia, bypassing O'Neal's huge body from the side, then exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and raised his arms.

The ball left Lu Yuanzhi's control with strong spin, landed in the upper right corner of the backboard, and then spun into the basket.

"Jelly layup!"

After the start of the series, Lu Yuanzhi has never given up the training of confrontation at the basket, and jelly's layup is the most important part of the training.

In the face of the huge O'Neal, many of the moves that are useful for dealing with conventional centers are not available. In contrast, the jelly layup specially invented for avoiding players who protect the basket is particularly useful.

Of course, Lu Yuanzhi is different from the jelly layups of ordinary small guards. He has impact, weight, and "enhanced confrontation" blessed by the system, so he will choose to confront O'Neal and use O'Neal's unstable center of gravity to make it difficult to block shots. At that moment, he scored the ball steadily.

At 92:86, still with a 6-point advantage, O'Neal consumed energy on both ends of the offense and defense, but did not close the score.

But in the next round, O'Neal made a deft turn around the basket, swayed away Divac and scored a goal, and caused Divac to foul and add a free throw.

And Divac, shortly after receiving his fifth foul, left the field with 6 fouls.

"What's wrong with the referee? He doesn't show mercy to the players who committed 5 fouls?" Divac, who has not yet figured out the situation, thought that after he committed 5 fouls, the referee would show mercy.

Brother, if you didn't commit many fouls, you might not be blown away, but now, the referees, who are eager to perform in front of the league's top brass, are eager to seize the opportunity to blow you out!

Pollard comes on as substitute.

Pollard is 211 centimeters tall and weighs 120 kilograms, which is ten kilograms heavier than Divac and younger than Divac. He seems to be a good choice against O'Neal.

But Pollard has no offensive power. As long as O'Neill gets stuck in his position, he can completely let Pollard go.

Moreover, Divac is a veteran, and often makes small moves behind O'Neal, which annoys O'Neal, while Pollard is more passionate than routine, and the whole process is straightforward.

It's much easier for O'Neal to deal with such a stupid young man.

The first domino fell.

In the next 10 minutes of this game, the Kings' center could only be beaten unilaterally, and there was absolutely no way he could give O'Neal any counterattack.

O'Neill made a free throw, and the point difference between the two sides came to 3 points again.

This was the closest the two teams had ever gotten since the Kings pulled away in the first quarter.

Wouldn't he lead almost the whole game and then fall down in the end?

Several other players on the Kings team couldn't help but have this idea in their minds.

Once this idea pops up, it can no longer be suppressed.

"Don't even think about that black cat!"

Yes, you can't help but have a black cat in your head.

Therefore, Adelman's fateful choice is indeed the right one!
At this time, all players must focus their attention on the matter of "fate"!
Lu Yuanzhi sighed in his heart, then cheered up, clapped vigorously, attracted the attention of his frustrated teammates, and shouted loudly:
"Tactics, give me the 'that' tactic!"

Since you can't put the black cat behind, use other things to attract the attention of your teammates.

Tactics, "Bombman" tactics with Lu Yuanzhi as the core!
