Seeing Ostertag and O'Neal standing together, Ostertag's size is no worse than O'Neal's, and even a little bigger. The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed!

Usually when Ostertag occasionally has the opportunity to play, although fans also think that he is huge and much larger than ordinary centers, they did not expect that compared with O'Neal, Ostertag is even bigger!

O'Neal is O'Neal. He is worthy of being the leader of the OK team together with Kobe. He is so different. When he saw Ostertag coming behind him, he swallowed his saliva exaggeratedly and then moved towards Ostertag.

Lean in and keep asking for the ball!

After Kobe passed the ball to O'Neal, the Hawks still had no tendency to double-team. Liu Mang went to guard Devin George. Stockton followed Fisher to the corner, still defending O'Neal alone.

Unlike Ratliff who used physical contact to wear down O'Neal when he defended him, Ostertag waited for O'Neal to catch the ball.

O'Neal was focused like never before. After receiving the ball, he immediately rushed towards Ostertag. Ostertag knew what his role was in this team. With a weight of nearly 140 kilograms, he could not do anything at all.

Go ahead without fear!

"oh……"

The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw these two possibly the biggest centers in the league colliding with each other! The most important thing is that O'Neal couldn't hit Ostertag!

However, the nimble fat man was too difficult to deal with. O'Neal was the ultimate nimble fat man. He had long expected that he would not be able to hit him, but his mobility and agility were not comparable to Ostertag's. The two of them went all out at the same time.

They collided, but O'Neal started to pick up speed faster. He turned left next to Ostertag, with his left foot as the axis, and took a step towards the left side of the two with his right foot. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and moved from bottom to top.

Small throw shot...

Hit!

Entered again!

4 out of 4 at the start!

Looking at O'Neal, whose ability value once again exceeded 100 in the playoffs, Liu Mang had already expected that even with Ostertag, O'Neal would not be able to guard against him. After O'Neal met the Zen Master, the biggest offensive change was

He has a little hook.

But that's enough. How long can O'Neal's style of play just now last?

Liu Mang returned to the inside to receive Stockton's serve and advanced to the frontcourt. Kobe defended him again. Liu Mang immediately passed the ball to Stockton and then ran with the little blacksmith.

After Stockton and Boozer started a pick-and-roll, Fisher quickly switched defenses with Malone, and Malone defended in front of Stockton.

Stockton VS Malone!

There were many fans who came from Salt Lake City to watch the game. Of course, they were mainly cheering for Stockton. Seeing Stockton facing Malone head-on, they all started to boo.

Malone was very excited, although he had never thought of this scene before this season. He never thought that when both of them were still playing in the league, one person would win the championship and the other would definitely suffer, and they would face each other head-on.

Case!

However, the two of them had already agreed during a heart-to-heart talk in the bar a few days ago that they would go all out and not be sorry for their professionalism!

Malone nervously took small steps, preparing to prevent Stockton's breakthrough.

The most underestimated thing about Stockton may not be his scoring, but his breakthrough ability. People think that he can only pick and roll, score and assist all by relying on pick and roll. Very few people have noticed his breakthrough, but his breakthrough

Often it was the killer move of the Jazz! In the second game between the Lakers and Jazz in the 1998 Western Conference Finals, Stockton was defended and had only 6 assists, but he scored by scoring a breakthrough.

He scored 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting, helping the Jazz beat the Lakers 99-95 and laying the foundation for the series!

Looking at Stockton's habitual steps before breaking through, Malone was so familiar that he didn't dare to relax. Everyone else's attention was also on the two of them. Suddenly, Stockton threw the ball towards the basket.

fling!

What is this operation?

Malone, who has played with Stockton for 18 years, has never seen Stockton play like this, shooting three-pointers with two hands?

Obviously not!

The ball flew to the left side of the basket. Liu Mang's figure arrived shortly after and lifted the ball in the air. Following the force of the lift, the ball fell lightly into the basket!

When Fisher saw Liu Mang landing, he could only grit his teeth and pick up the ball.

Just when people were paying attention to the duel between the two evil players, O'Neal under the basket focused his attention on the two of them. After Liu Mang came out from the baseline, he used Boozer to block Kobe after the pick-and-roll, and then counterattacked again.

Running back to the basket, Fisher switched defense and failed to keep up, so he could only watch Liu Mang counterattack and score two points with an alley-oop.

It was the Lakers' offense again. Kobe received the ball and saw the Eagles expanding so wide. He was already sure that the Eagles were attrition to them!

Use up O'Neal's physical energy!

Although he hopes that O'Neal's performance is poor and he can turn the tide, Kobe is not stupid. If it were the Pistons that everyone originally disliked, he would definitely be careless, but against the 70-win Hawks.

Kobe felt that the current situation was inappropriate, but O'Neal wanted the ball inside, so Kobe had no choice but to pass the ball in.

When Liu Mang saw Kobe passing the ball to O'Neal again, he was about to let go of Devin George to flank Kobe, so he immediately took his steps back.

Sure enough, this little blacksmith chose to maintain a stable relationship with O'Neill in the face of a powerful enemy.

Difficult guy! Liu Mang stabilizes his mentality and slowly loses his battle with the Lakers.

Finally, when Ostertag was able to withstand O'Neal and had a wide body that could squeeze O'Neal's space under the basket, O'Neal's little throw was perfect!

Boozer carried his own template, Malone, got into the basket and grabbed a defensive rebound!

After Ostertag came up, he put enough pressure on O'Neal!

Boozer passed the ball to Liu Mang. After Liu Mang received the ball, he turned around and held the ball behind his back with one hand to avoid being intercepted by Kobe. Kobe pressed the whole court to press and defend Liu Mang. Liu Mang stood like that.

Standing, watching his teammates run forward, leading the other four Lakers players to the frontcourt.

Kobe looked at Liu Mang standing still, his head turning rapidly. What is this guy going to do?

Just when Kobe was still guessing, Liu Mang suddenly threw the ball...

Such a long distance?

Kobe didn't expect Liu Mang to stand at one end of the court near the baseline and pass the ball toward the other end!

What I didn’t even expect was that the transmission was actually in place!

The ball was accurately sent to the free throw line area at the other end of the court. Stockton happened to arrive at that position and caught the ball falling from the air. Instead of catching the ball, he threw it back into the air in the direction of the basket.

Basket! Boozer followed up with an alley-oop layup and scored two points!

Amid the cheers at the scene, Liu Mang spread his hands towards Kobe and said, "You didn't stick to me. I'm a point guard. I can pass the ball, and I'm very good at it."

Kobe did not expect that Liu Mang would stand in that place and throw directly into the frontcourt. He knew that Liu Mang was accurate in passing the ball. When the Eagles counterattacked, the most accurate passer was not Stockton but Liu Mang. However,

The Eagles' lineup has no counterattack ability, and Kobe was misled by his impression of the double-shaming tactic!

Kobe Bryant was eliminated by the Jazz in the playoffs for two consecutive years, 4-1 one year and swept the next year. He would study ways to deal with the Jazz in the playoffs every year, but he never met the Jazz in the playoffs again.

, there was no chance for revenge until in the original history, when he encountered the new version of Shuangsha, he had the complete suppression strength to torture Deron and Boozer.

The current lineup of the Hawks is very similar to that of the Jazz. Malone's physical fitness was explosive when he was young, but when he reached the Finals, he was already 34, which was about the same speed as Boozer now. Stockton reached the Finals even more

At the age of 35, the current Stockton Gabuzel is similar to the Stockton Gamalone back then. The pace on the offensive end is similar. If Kobe tries to block Liu Mang, the Hawks will not be able to get up on the fast break. The same goes for the Lakers.

No one on the other side expected that Stockton and Boozer, who were so slow, would fight like this, and they didn't expect this move.

10 to 10, Liu Mang thanks Team Universe...

Liu Mang came up with this goal from the counterattack when the Cosmos team had Bogut, with Bogut as the end point. He tried his best in a small way, and the result was not bad.

Just to deal with this cognitive difference, the Cosmos averages 123 three-pointers per game, which is indeed impressive, but their average score is more than 110 points per game. Although three-pointers are their biggest threat, their real killer move is

But it’s a defensive counterattack!

Of course, with the current pace of the game, there are not many opportunities like this. This ball can be regarded as a sudden idea.

Fisher pushed the ball over and passed it to Kobe. Kobe did not pass the ball this time and gestured towards O'Neal. O'Neal did not continue to block the ball. Instead, he waited on the side of the three-second zone and hit O'Neal.

It's really difficult for Strtag, he chooses to be a threat inside.

After shooting 4 of 5 from the field, O'Neal's physical fitness began to decline after a strong start.

Kobe chose to play Prince alone.

Seeing Kobe starting to play one-on-one, this was beyond Liu Mang's expectation. How could O'Neal stop playing if he didn't want to?

As everyone knows, O'Neal is already used to it. Someone has already made a gesture not to pass the ball. What else can he do?

Unexpectedly, Liu Mang immediately rushed towards Kobe. Prince could defend Kobe from the outside, but when he broke through, Kobe rushed inside like a wild bull. Prince could keep up, but he couldn't hold it.

!

Just as Liu Mang was rushing towards Kobe, he was suddenly struck by a huge force in his chest, almost knocking him to the ground!

Karl Malone's elbow!

Ma Long judged Liu Mang's defense and immediately rushed to block Liu Mang. His speed was not that fast and he used his elbows to extend the lateral area of ​​his body.

Regardless of whether the pick-and-roll was moved or not, Malone's judgment of the ball was so good. Like Boozer, Malone's pick-and-roll was not only a pick-and-roll with the ball, but also a very good pick-and-roll for other players.

Kobe drove to the basket, avoided Prince's chasing block, and pulled up the lever for a layup and scored two points.

Ostertag didn't dare to guard Kobe. He had poor lateral movement ability and basically had no other role on the defensive end except to hold O'Neal.

Liu Mang looked at Ma Long who turned back to defend without any expression. His chest was hit so hard that he almost couldn't breathe! He couldn't even curse anyone if he wanted to.

"Ding... the host's chest muscles are slightly strained..."

"treat."
