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

Chapter 250 Prevent O'Neal from dying and let them fight among themselves

O'Neal played very hard, and he was targeted by the Kings again.

Double-teaming and running back, the two things he hates most, the Kings have them all.

However, this season, the Lakers' reinforcements have had a significant effect. The firepower support of Battier and Billups from beyond the three-point line has given the Lakers more offensive options.

Kobe was also upset. He did not encounter double teams. Just like last season, the Kings chose to let Lu Yuanzhi guard him alone.

Ordinarily, this gives Kobe a lot of room to play, because other teams have begun to double-team Kobe.

However, I don’t know if he consumed too much energy in the one-on-one before the game, or if he just didn’t feel good today. Kobe still couldn’t find the touch when shooting from the outside, while the inside was filled up, and there was no line for him to attack at all. .

An interesting scene happened. Others would stop shooting when they felt bad, but Kobe didn't feel good?
Of course, you need to take more shots and develop your touch!
Therefore, the next offense of the Lakers in the first quarter was that O'Neal was double-teamed and the offense was blocked. Kobe had a poor touch, but he shot the ball and turned into a little blacksmith, while Battier and Billups carried the Lakers. The offense led the Lakers to cling to the score and even overtake it.

At about 6 minutes, Lu Yuanzhi was replaced, and Christie, who was full of energy, came up to continue to defend Kobe, but Kobe's shooting still showed no improvement.

Around 8 minutes, Turkoglu replaced Stojakovic.

Around 9 minutes, Pollard, Clark and Bobby Jackson replaced Divac, Webb and Bibby.

The Kings' rotation came earlier than usual today.

On the TNT commentary station, during the Christmas game broadcast live across the United States, Barkley and Smith still partnered to commentate. Seeing this scene, the two also expressed emotion.

"This Kings team's substitute is too luxurious!"

"Five ups and five downs, and I can actually play back and forth with the Lakers, who have almost all the main players!"

"Don't forget, there is Jim Jackson sitting on the bench of the Kings, and his offensive power cannot be underestimated!"

"The Kings' bench should be the most luxurious in the league, which can help them achieve excellent results in the regular season, but most of the playoffs are 7-8 rotations. With so many excellent substitutes, in addition to squeezing salary space, It doesn’t help the Kings too much.”

"No, no, no, Charles, you are only talking about the first few games of the series. After the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, everyone will understand each other's details. Having more excellent substitutes will also bring great help to the team."

"At least there will be more room for maneuver in terms of the coaching staff's formation."

"At the same time, because of playing that role, the main players are physically exhausted, and the substitute players will have better room to perform."

"Okay, Kenny, it's true. We all say that the final game of the series is a battle of physical strength and will. This has nothing to do with the fact that the main force was beaten hard."

"The Kings have found a new way to strengthen their substitute lineup. It is indeed worth looking forward to and see what wonderful performance they will have in the playoffs."

"Going back to the game, you see, after the Lakers also replaced their rotation players, they gradually couldn't stand it anymore."

That's right, except for Fox, who can continue to struggle with Turkoglu, the Lakers' substitute players are not as strong as the Kings at all.

Even Samaki Walker, whom they were optimistic about, was beaten by Clark in the matchup.

Unfortunately, Walker, a long and athletic power forward, is the opponent Clark most likes to encounter. As long as it is not Garnett's talent that completely overwhelms his opponent, he can always rely on his rich experience and skillful skills. Defeat opponents of the same type.

After the Lakers briefly took the lead in the first quarter, they were overtaken by the Kings at the end of the first quarter.

At 28:24, the Kings took a 4-point lead on the road.

The two teams fought again in the second quarter, with O'Neal and Kobe continuing to rest off the court, while Billups led a group of substitutes to play on the court.

Billups can suppress the reasonable Mike Bibby very well, but it is difficult to deal with the unreasonable Bobby Jackson.

Bobby Jackson often uses his speed advantage to beat Billups hard, and he can also score some inexplicable goals under the basket without Billups losing his position.Even Billups lost his advantage in the matchup, and the weakness of the Lakers' bench was exposed at this moment.

The Kings' strong rotation players took turns attacking the Lakers' line, gradually opening up the score.

At 38:30, when O'Neal reappeared, the score difference had reached 8 points.

As the Lakers' main force reappeared, the Lakers began their journey of chasing points again. O'Neal relied on his containment power to create opportunities for his teammates outside the three-point line many times, and the point difference gradually narrowed.

52: 52.

At the end of the first half, the scores of the two teams returned to the same starting line.

It's just that the price the Lakers paid was that O'Neal took a 4-minute break in the first half, Kobe took a 2-minute break, and Billups took a 3-minute break. The Kings' main players all took at least 6 minutes of rest, and Bibby took an 8-minute break. minute!

"Guys, their two new members of the team seem to be pretty good!"

"Yeah, Shane Battier and Chauncey Billups, right? They shot very steadily and played very decisively."

"These two guys are much harder to deal with than Fox and Fisher last year!"

"Chauncy is the third overall pick. He has the ability, but he just hasn't met a good teammate!"

"It's okay. Kobe was a disaster tonight. He made 20 of 5 shots in the first half!"

"Yes, let's fight like this. Our main force is better rested than them. We have better physical strength to defeat them!"

At halftime, the Kings players were talking a lot about the Lakers players in the locker room.

"Hey, have you noticed? Kobe is doing three irons and three irons tonight!"

"What do you mean?"

"In Chinese, 'iron' means the ball hit the basket and missed, and 'yang' has the same pronunciation as 'oxygen'!"

"Okay, how about describing Kobe's inaccuracy in shooting? But why do you call it a three-iron match instead of a three-iron shot?"

Lu Yuanzhi stared at Bobby Jackson next to him with a look of disbelief on his face, "Are you still a college student? Ferric tetroxide, the product of iron oxidation!"

Next, the entire Kings team's coaches and players stared at Lu Yuanzhi with incredible expressions.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuanzhi was confused.

"Hey man, isn't the oxide of iron iron oxide?"

"We don't rely on cultural classes to go to college, how can we possibly understand!"

"Why are your Chinese culture classes so good?"

Lu Yuanzhi shook his head, a bunch of illiterate people!I can’t explain it clearly!
"Okay, boys, let's drop this topic!" Adelman clapped his hands and interrupted the topic at the right time. "We defended very well in the first half and basically achieved our goal. O'Neal only took 6 shots and got the goal. 8 points!”

"Keep working hard in the second half!"

"Roar!"

"Prevent O'Neal from dying and let them fight among themselves!"

　Gone today!
