169. Incompetent Fury Bynum
"Bang!"
With Kobe's mid-range shot, O'Neal and Bynum at the basket started a very fierce physical confrontation.
The push and shoving between each other is even more great.
In the end, this backcourt rebound was successfully accepted by Ibaka on the side.
In fact, the grudge between O'Neal and Bynum has not been a year or two. As early as the Heat, O'Neal had frequent quarrels and conflicts with Bynum on the court.
However, O'Neal can't blame O'Neal for this. It's because Bynum's mouth is too broken. Not only do he often mock O'Neal before and after the game, but he also finds opportunities to humiliate the Sharks during the game.
You should know that O'Neal has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, so the two of them have been saved.
Until now, as long as these two people meet on the field, it will be a complete battle between the meat grinders.
Even before the game, Bynum did not miss the opportunity to mock O'Neal. Facing the reporter, he said that O'Neal's old arms and legs could not compete with him at all.
He also advised O'Neal to retire early and go home to fish, so as not to be embarrassed on the field.
So this is why O'Neal hinted at the Lakers many times before the game, because O'Neal is really angry about the Lakers team.
With the ball in hand, the Thunder played the Hawks offensively, because Jamison could only play as a substitute in this game.
This also leads to the Thunder's three-point shooting after the pick-and-roll without the ball, which is destined to drop some threats, but if it is to play the Hawks' attack, then Ibaka can perfectly replace this position.
After all, Ibaka also has long-distance projection, and is more stable for medium-distance projection.
In addition, the quality of the pick-and-roll made by Ibaka is definitely better than that of Jamison.
When the Thunder used the Hawks to attack on the offensive end, this undoubtedly made the live commentator Barkley amused.
"This game seems to have brought me back to the 1990s. The Hawks attacked against the Triangle offense, and I think about the last time I saw this scene."
"Oh, it's been too long, I can't remember it, but I believe it was definitely more than ten years ago."
"It's obviously a battle between two cross-age teams, but the tactics used are all so retro."
"I have to say that this kind of game is really nostalgic."
As Charles Barkley said, the Triangle Offense and the Hawks Offense are currently on the verge of losing their money in the league.
At least, except for "Zen Master" Jackson, there is no second coach in the league that focuses on triangular offense.
As for the Hawks' offense, there is no need to say much. Only one coach in the league uses it.
In fact, in a sense, the Eagle offense and the Triangle offense have similarities.
Even the evolution of the Eagle offense is based on movement in the Triangle offense.
Both tactics are based on offensive stars, and then combined with the rapid movement of other players, creating a large number of offensive opportunities.
But the disadvantage of these two tactics is that you must have a shooting guard with excellent offensive ability.
Small forwards are not bad, they are not as useful as defenders in terms of flexibility.
After all, the positions in this period are not that vague. For example, the representative figures on the small forward are James, Anthony, Pierce and others.
Although they can also score points and their scoring ability is also very explosive, they still lack some agility.
Of course, Durant is not listed here because Durant is a freak.
With the head-on fight between the Thunder and the Lakers in the entire first half, neither side changed their main tactics, and the Hawks attacked against the triangle offense.
The scores on the court are also constantly intertwined. No one can establish a crushing advantage, whether it is the Lakers or the Thunder.
The biggest lead on the field is only a pitiful 5 points.
You know, for a team like the Thunder that focuses on offense, a five-point score is really a blink of an eye.
If a player's feel is hot and he throws two three-pointers in two consecutive rounds, it is simply a drizzle operation.
Until the end of the first half, the Thunder played at home did not gain much advantage, but only temporarily took the lead with a three-point advantage.
When he came back in the second half, the situation on the court was still very anxious, but Yang Fan made some adjustments to his playing style on the court.
It’s not that he gave up using the Eagle offense, but that he just changed the arrow character of the Eagle offense from "Martial Saint" Jackson to Kevin Durant.
Even though the Hawks offense is a star tactic that targets the shooting guards and try to form misalignment and individual singles, Yang Fan knows that Durant is essentially different from the conventional Little Pioneer.
So there is nothing wrong with him as the soul character of the Eagle's attack.
In fact, Jackson's offensive feel was not very good in this game. Facing Kobe's personal defense, Jackson's disadvantage of not scoring explosively enough was revealed.
For the player "Martial Saint" Jackson, he can score 2055 comprehensive data in several consecutive games, but if you want him to score 81 points in a single game like Kobe, it is undoubtedly a bit foolish.
The most important thing is that Jackson's offense is not stable, he is a player who is more versatile. At least when it comes to stability, he is definitely not as good as Durant.
In the entire second half, even though the Thunder replaced the core character of the Hawks' attack with Durant, the Thunder did not take much advantage.
Even Artest was unable to resist when defending Durant, and even if he took off with all his strength, he would not be able to interfere with Durant's shooting.
But the key is that in this highly anticipated playoff confrontation, Artest's defensive moves are obviously a bit too large, and the referee is also not strict with this kind of call.
So even if the shooting cannot be interrupted by Artest, Durant's play is not really good.
Even Artest was elbowed by two elbows from time to time, which felt somewhat miserable.
It was not until the second half of the fourth quarter that the Thunder barely opened the score with a continuous three-point offensive.
Even though the Lakers were desperately chasing points under Kobe's leadership after the timeout, the Thunder, who played at home, still struggled to win the Lakers at the end of the game.
They defended the home court with shock and danger.
After the game, Kobe and O'Neal hugged each other in the middle of the field, although the gap between the two people could not be completely eliminated.
But Kobe and O'Neal can now sit together and become friends.
As for Bynum, he returned to the player channel alone at the first time of the game.
Of course, even if he doesn't return to the locker room, there will definitely be no one on the Thunder to say hello to him, because this guy is so annoying.
In this game, Durant's performance was absolutely outstanding. Facing Artest's defense, Durant still scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
Proving the personal strength of the new MVP to people also proves the style of the league's scoring king.
In addition, O'Neal also swept away his previous laziness in this game.
Facing the "Little Shark" Bynum, O'Neal voluntarily asked Yang Fan for a 31-minute appearance.
In the end, Bynum not only contributed 18 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, but also helped the team win this highly anticipated game.
Although Bynum, who played against O'Neal, also contributed a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds.
But as a center, who only has 44% shooting percentage, still has to take the blame.
After all, Kobe and Gasol performed much better than Bynum. Even Odom, who came on as a substitute, was more efficient than Bynum.
So he has to take the blame even if he takes it, and he has to take it even if he doesn't take it.
There is no other reason, because he failed to gain the upper hand when facing the 38-year-old O'Neal, and his personal shooting percentage was less than 50%.
If this alone is placed in later generations, it will be enough for fans to complete a full round of cybershocking against him.
…………
"They only rely on the referee to win this game. They won't be glorious, just because this is their home court!!"
"There were several times when I was fighting against the referee at the basket and didn't call the referee, so the fat man took a little advantage and allowed them to win the game."
"If I play another game, I will definitely beat that fat man with my own hands, and it will also help the team win the game." Andrew Bynum said to the reporter with anger in the interview after the game.
The male reporter looked at Bynum in front of him, "So you think you will definitely win the next game, and Shaq did not gain an advantage in this game, right?!"
"Yes, this is a group of cunning guys. They are just lucky, but luck won't be on their side next."
"As for Shaq, he has never gained an advantage on my head. Next, I will definitely beat this guy with my own hands." Bynum replied incompetently.
Chapter completed!
