Chapter 424: There Is Not a Drop of Urine in the Stimulant
"It's rare to fall behind. The Lakers team has never encountered such a situation in almost the entire season. The offense can only allow Kobe to throw mid-range and long-range shots, and the defense is dismembered by the opponent's superstar." The magician looked dignified. In the first quarter It's just finished, and he's already worried about what will happen to the solution.
"Kobe has played many classic desperate shots, but the other Lakers players have only a handful of key shots this season. Under the high pressure in Houston, the Lakers players have a big problem with their performance." Grant Hill pursed his lips. It was as if he saw himself being shot to death by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round.
It was the same at that time, only he could score, and the other teammates, including Dumars, were in desperation. In the end, they were heavily encircled and suppressed by the defensive tactics designed by Wilkens, and unfortunately lost in 7 games.
This round of the series is a huge blow to Hill.
Kobe's teammates are undoubtedly several levels better than the Pistons, but Houston is not a level team compared to the Atlanta Hawks.
"Shaq didn't stand up, I'm a little disappointed." The magician recalled that when the peak sky hook led him back then, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was never restricted, and he was always able to stand up and play dominant games with him. Performance. But O'Neal was invisible in the first quarter! Actually let his rookie brother Kobe carry O'Neal away!
The magician thought this was absurd. Shouldn't the boss shield the younger brother from the wind and rain, wait for the younger brother to grow up, and the most important thing is to succeed together? Just like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did, he almost resisted all the pressure on the Magician during the regular season, allowing the Magician to quickly adapt to the NBA with his own style. Under the circumstances, he won the championship and won the FMVP.
And what is Shaq doing?
It's okay to stop paddling due to injury in the regular season, but his performance in the playoffs when he encountered a hard stubble was actually unreliable.
Although it was only a game, the magician still found it difficult to accept.
"If Shaq can't make adjustments in the next game, the Lakers will be in danger in this game. Losing the first home game will hurt them very much."
At this moment, O'Neill also sat on the bench unwillingly.
Damn, why are you still so powerless!
Why did I still act the same in front of Olajuwon as I did at that time two years ago.
2 of 5 scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 turnovers in a whole quarter? This statistic is simply laughable and generous, which is unacceptable to the proud O'Neal. He is ready to step on Olajuwon's corpse and take off the crown of this era of insider kings.
But the current situation is that Olajuwon not only did not fall, but slapped him, which made O'Neill aggrieved.
"Shaq, there is something wrong with your style of play." Kobe's face was serious. After thinking about it, he decided to clarify with O'Neal.
"Is there a problem?" O'Neill didn't look up, and the tone of his mouth was full of disdain. Do you know better than me how to play center and how to beat Olajuwon?
If it were someone else, anyone on the Lakers team, O'Neal would be furious at this time. That is Kobe, although what he said made O'Neill unhappy, but he still listened to it.
"That's right, you can't hold a ball with Olajuwon. Houston's defensive arrangement is obviously to use a large force to encircle the two of us. The offensive positions of our two must not coincide, so that everyone will be surrounded. Come up."
"Run! Use your speed, your confrontation, and your stamina to consume Hakim! Make an empty cut!"
"I will give you space on the outside, as long as you can run out of opportunities. The ball will definitely come to you. Don't be stingy with your physical fitness, and go to crush Olajuwon!"
"Shaq, you are much stronger than that old guy Hakeem. But you must be good at using your own advantages!"
Kobe took out the tactical board to draw a circle, and O'Neill found out after listening to a few sentences that it really looked like this. He was too persistent to decide the outcome with Olajuwon, which caused him to be double-teamed by Houston continuously. At the same time, his running position also overlapped with Kobe's, so the efficiency is of course not high.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." O'Neal gritted his teeth and nodded.
As long as you can defeat Hakeem Olajuwon and wash away the shame, you can do anything!
Isn't it just running! Although it is cruel to let me, a 200-kilogram fat man, run, if it can defeat Olajuwon, then it can!
The two sides faced off with the bench lineup. The Lakers still had all the benches, while Houston let Jim Jackson play with the second team.
Before joining Houston, Jim Jackson was also a top guard who could play 25+5+3. Although due to injuries and team tactics, he came to Houston this season and only averaged 13+4+2. , but his ability is still very good.
His weight and strength are a very big advantage on the back line, and the old Curry will be smashed to pieces against him. Harris had to send small fish to defend him.
Harris didn't have much hope for this decision, and it's completely acceptable if he doesn't get blown up.
But Xiaoyu's performance shocked everyone!
Jim Jackson looked at the little fish with disdain! Directly speed up the rolling!
"Jim Jackson breaks through with the ball! Derek Fisher looks so small in front of him!"
"Crash together! Little fish won't budge! Collided hard with Jim Jackson!"
"Unbelievable! Am I dazzled? Xiaoyu actually resisted Jim Jackson abruptly, and the violent collision between the two made Jim Jackson drop the ball!"
"Prevent it! Give me all the information about this No. 2 Lakers player!"
"It has been tested, and there is not a drop of urine in the stimulant!"
The low atmosphere of the Lakers' bench was activated by Fisher's fierce defense! Everyone including Kobe stood up and looked at Xiaoyu in disbelief.
Jim Jackson got up from the ground, he was a little dazed.
What just happened?
Is it too hard? This rookie point guard is so physically fit?
"Hahaha! Do you know that I, Xiaoxiaoyu in Stone City, are amazing." With a bright face, Xiaoyu found a blind spot for the camera and rubbed his chest.
"Damn it, it really hurts." Is Xiaoyu satisfied with this defense? Of course!
Will he still choose to defend like this again?
Can't stop.
Kersey grabs the rolling basketball and passes it to Horry.
Horry ran all over the court and easily evaded AC Green for a layup.
"See? They are also fighting for your ideals. Shaq, you are never alone." Harris patted O'Neal on the back.
O'Neill nodded vigorously.
Just wait, folks.
Play again, I will not let you down!
