Dayao was very uncomfortable being hit by O'Neal several times in the back.

It is simply impossible for Yao, who has not gained weight, to compete with O'Neal in strength.

O'Neal didn't receive much resistance and easily reached the basket.

If we follow the historical process of previous lives.

From this moment on, O'Neal was going to pin Dayao to the ground and hammer him.

Although the Rockets eventually won.

But that was when Francis performed at his best.

Faced with Kobe Bryant scoring a career-high 44 points.

But Dayao only scored 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 blocks.

The scariest thing is O'Neal.

After being blocked by Dayao three times in a row at the beginning, he immediately showed a phenomenal performance!

Scored 31 points and 13 rebounds in the game!

The most unexpected thing is that O'Neal made 5 of 6 free throws.

When O'Neal's free throw shooting percentage is as high as 83.3%, he is the well-deserved overlord in the paint!

No one can stop him!

But it’s different now!

Han Ning still didn't believe it.

When the young Yao faced O'Neal, he was able to produce 10 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks.

Now that Yao has all the experience in his career, how can he perform better when facing O'Neal?

Han Ning didn't want to bet on whether Francis would be as good as he was in history.

Only when the outcome of the game is completely in his own hands will he feel at ease.

Dayao watched helplessly as O'Neal took off, holding the ball with both hands behind his head, hoping for a violent dunk.

If it were young Yao, he might have been able to just watch O'Neal complete this dunk.

But now Dayao has all the experience bonuses!

How could O'Neal be allowed to act so recklessly under the basket?

He ducked and came behind O'Neal.

Using his flexibility, he quickly took off and stretched his right hand towards the back of O'Neal's head.

Before he gained weight, Dayao was the best in the paint in terms of flexibility and lateral speed!

"Bang!"

A slap on the basketball in O'Neal's hand.

He directly knocked the basketball from O'Neal's hand!

"Crack!"

O'Neal hung his hands on the basket and then fell to the floor.

His expression was a little confused.

Where is the ball?!

Looking up, he found the basketball in Dayao's hand.

Dayao picked up the basketball and threw it forward, directly into Francis's hand.

After Francis received the basketball, he launched a fast break.

Rushed all the way to the front three-point line.

Kobe was chasing after him, taking a step across to get in front of Francis to defend.

Francis glanced up and found that the other teammates hadn't had time to catch up.

To complete this fast break, the best chance is for him to do it himself!

Looking at Kobe who was defending him in front of him, Francis raised his eyebrows.

In the past, Francis was best at attacking through breakthroughs and back-up attacks.

But under the subtle influence of Han Ning and Steve Kerr, many Rockets players now like to shoot three-pointers.

But Kobe didn't realize this!

Therefore, his defense deliberately left a step distance for Francis.

It was made clear that we should prevent him from breaking through.

Francis quickly put his hands together and then made a pull-up jumper!

Take a step outside the three-point line and shoot with an open hand.

By the time Kobe reacted and stepped forward to block the shot, Francis had already shot the three-pointer!

"Whoa!"

Another three-pointer! Cleanly making the score 12-2!

Less than half a quarter into the game, the Rockets led by 10 points!

The score difference reached double digits!

This is a situation that no one expected before the game!

Is it possible that the Rockets are really that strong now?!

Can’t even resist the OK combination?!

Han Ning stood on the sidelines, looking at Francis who scored a three-pointer, feeling a little happy in his heart.

Judging from the state of this ball, Francis should be in very good condition as he was in the original historical process!

In this game, if you don't do it well, you can get high scores.

For today's game, Han Ning feels more confident after winning against the Lakers.

It's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

At this moment, his heart was about to explode.

Originally, in the attack just now, he didn't want to pass the ball to O'Neal.

But Phil Jackson spoke up.

He had to pass it on.

As a result, what happens after the ball is passed?!

O'Neal was blocked again!

Francis also scored a chasing three-pointer!

This time, the Lakers directly lost 5 points!

Not even halfway through the first quarter, we were trailing by double digits!

This was something he couldn't bear no matter what.

After looking up and realizing that O'Neal was still reaching for the ball, Kobe couldn't help gritting his teeth.

If I pass it on to you, I will be an idiot!

Then quickly dribbled the ball to the right and broke through.

Against Francis' defense, he reached the bottom line.

Seeing that he couldn't break through, Kobe directly put his hands on the ball and shook his shoulders from side to side.

Then suddenly he turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.

"Whoa!"

The basketball went hollow into the net and scored two points.

Bringing the score back to within double digits.

O'Neal felt a little upset after seeing Kobe not passing the basketball to him.

After being blocked four times in a row by Dayao, O'Neal is now very eager to prove his strength.

But without the ball, he has no chance to score!

Looking at Kobe who was retreating on defense, O'Neal felt a little unhappy.

This little brother has become more and more disobedient recently.
