Chapter 543 The Throne of the First Center Forward!

After the dust settled between the Spurs and the Lakers, the Lakers had no time to breathe and flew directly to Houston, a familiar place. They fought here in May and eventually advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

This year's Houston has no major adjustments in terms of personnel compared to last year, only to strengthen the backup ball handler-the alien Sam Cassell.

This backup guard, who was born in Houston and won two championships in Houston, returned to Houston.

If Sam Cassell plays as the core, he can also win a 20+5 star-level guard. His arrival in his prime has given Houston's old lineup a fresh blood.

This is equivalent to the Big Three combination of later generations. Crawford came to the bench. Although the scoring methods are different, they are all offensive guards who can contribute extraordinary firepower on the bench.

In the case of the Big Three paddling, the current Houston is still 4 wins and 2 losses, which is inseparable from the attack power of aliens.

"In this game, I am optimistic that O'Neill will defeat Hakeem, beat three of the four major centers in a row, and become the real No. 1 center!" The magician said.

"The Lakers' winning streak is coming to an end, and Houston will teach the Lakers a lesson." Big Dream's old teammate Ralph Sampson responded to the magician.

That is to say, there is no social media now. If there is, Kobe can already imagine that the two of them are fighting endlessly as keyboard warriors on the Internet mountain.

Before the game started, the public opinion war between the two sides began. In the eyes of most people, the strongest teams in this year's West, the Lakers and Houston must be among them.

The difference from the Jazz is that although the Jazz also has the Big Three, their ball-holding points are just eaten by Kobe.

But Houston is different. They can control the ball too much. If it is impossible, even Barkley and Olajuwon can advance. The Lakers' press didn't do much for them.

Both teams are very close on paper, with the Lakers in better shape, but Houston has home-court advantage.

"Shaq, I heard that you beat up Ewing and David?" Dameng teased, the little fat man in front of him already had the aura of the league's number one center forward.

"Yeah, it's easy to win." O'Neill smiled. This season, he has felt his dominance more and more. Almost no one can stop him. The ability to turn clouds and rain in the paint makes the Sharks full of confidence.

Last season, against the big dream Olajuwon, O'Neal's mentality was still a bit vain, but now O'Neal has shown a real king's arrogance.

No. 1 center forward! who but me!

The game between the Lakers and Houston was a bit anxious, and the two sides stalemate until the last moment to decide the winner.

In the first quarter, O'Neal stepped up and scored in consecutive singles by Olajuwon.

After gaining weight, O'Neal has made a leap in dominance. Last year, his efficiency with Olajuwon alone was still very low, but now he can almost score easily.

In Houston, Barkley has a good touch. Actually played a three-pointer on the periphery.

"Didn't expect it! This is the stunt that my master practiced hard in the summer!" Barkley smirked, and his trump card was hidden for a long time. If he wants to win against the Lakers, he knows that it is too difficult to follow the previous style of play.

The three-pointer, which is used by more and more people in the league, is a very good move. It can be shot easily, so that the old body does not have to go to the inside, and the shot can create a very comfortable offensive space for Houston. After all, both Drexler and Olajuwon have to play inside.

Barkley's sudden three-pointer caught the Lakers by surprise.

In the second quarter of the bench game, the Lakers' bench group, which played well in 6 consecutive games, finally fell into a blackout in the last game of Texas' three-game streak.

So under the leadership of the aliens and AC Green, Houston scored consecutively off the bench, occupying a considerable advantage.

At halftime, the Lakers rarely fell behind.

Lakers 47:55 Houston.

In the third quarter, Kobe continued to feed O'Neal crazily.

In this game, Kobe knew the importance to O'Neal.

That being the case, I'll feed you!

The Sharks overwhelmed the big dream. Not only did the offensive blow up the big dream, but the defensive end also deflated the big dream with excellent physical confrontation and rare enthusiasm.

At the end of the third quarter, O'Neal scored 35 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal and 3 turnovers on 14 of 22 shots.

Olajuwon was 1 of 7 and only scored 4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

It exploded! O'Neal blew up the big dream.

The Lakers also let the score close.

At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers 71:75 Houston.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe began to exert his strength.

Continuously eat the defender alone, and respond with a three-pointer.

He scored 8 points in a row at the beginning and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

Then Barkley also tried to take over the game, but it was a pity that he was stuck by the big Ben who was replaced, and he couldn't play a wave of consecutive scoring attacks.

Then Kobe continued to feed O'Neal. After O'Neal scored 45 points, he missed consecutive shots.

I can't move! I really can't move!

As a heavy-duty tank vehicle whose shots are all concentrated on the inside, almost every time he scores, he must first block, then fight, and then complete the shot. The battle between Shark and Dameng came to an end in the fourth quarter.

O'Neal is exhausted, Kobe will come by himself!

Dry pull!

CIC dry pull!

Three points!

Unreasonable projection!

One ball and one ball hit the hearts of Houston players.

"Damn it, can't we stop him?"

Drexler spread his hands, you do what you want, I tried my best.

Kobe scored 21 points in the last single quarter, reaping the game.

The Lakers won their seventh win of the season!

The Lakers fought Houston 99:92 to the end and came back to win the game.

Kobe scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers.

O'Neal scored 45 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 5 turnovers.

Barkley had 31 points and 14 rebounds.

Glider scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

Dameng scored 8 points and 7 rebounds.

Lost, this time the combined score of the Big Three is not as high as OK.

OK scored a total of 77 points! Almost accounted for 80% of the team!

"Little Fatty, I can't stop you. I really can't stop you." Dameng smiled bitterly after the game, this was the first time in many years that he felt powerless.

"The throne of the first center is mine, right?"

"Nonsense! See the truth in the playoffs!" Dameng said unforgivingly, but he clearly understood in his heart that the current O'Neal is the number one center forward!

The Lakers started with a 7-game winning streak. The three major centers O'Neal fought one by one and won all of them. Except that the admiral can fight against O'Neal because of Duncan by his side, Ewing and Dameng are both defeated.

The invincible Lakers lead the league in record!
