At this time, Lao Wang and O'Neal were competing in the low post on the left wing. From the beginning, they entered a strong confrontation, consuming huge amounts of physical energy every second.
One wanted to go deep into the paint area, but the other struggled to stop him, refusing to give in. In the end, Lao Wang settled outside the left sideline of the paint area in the low post on the left wing and failed to successfully enter the paint area.
His plum blossom step is very good, and he can indeed bypass O'Neal and enter the paint area through continuous movement, but O'Neal, whose tonnage remains at 135 kilograms, is really an extremely agile shark, and can often stop him from going deeper in time.
As soon as he entered, he was blocked. If he couldn't find a deep position, it would be better to position outside. There would be no attack for three seconds outside, and the attack time would be more abundant.
With his left elbow stuck outside, Lao Wang started to ask for the ball.
Kobe Bryant has a height advantage of ten centimeters when facing Charlie Ward, and he also has a tonnage advantage of nearly ten kilograms. Now his tonnage is still 96 kilograms, so facing the latter, he has an obvious dislocation advantage and can easily pass the ball in.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang grabbed the ball with his right hand, and O'Neal behind him immediately stepped back half a step to defend. He put his right hand on his waist and raised his left hand high. This was because he did not intend to fight him directly.
At this time, he saw that Oakley on the right wing had no intention of coming over to help defend. He only moved slightly closer to the paint area and put Fordson a little more. The other Knicks players did not appear to come over to double-team.
The next moment, he immediately started playing O'Neal in isolation.
"It's a one-on-one challenge! Will you choose to hit the basket directly with the first ball?" Su Qun shouted nervously and excitedly.
"squeak!"
His right heel left the ground, his forefoot touched the ground, and he twisted his waist and abdomen without any false movements. Lao Wang suddenly started swinging, turned around and lifted his sole, and the sneakers on the soles of the ball made a sharp friction sound.
O'Neal also reacted quickly and immediately retreated sideways to the baseline.
He did not choose to move laterally, fearing that the movement speed would be slow, and letting Old K rush in directly and retreat would give him more defensive space, and he could also force Old K out of the baseline.
Lao Wang turned around and saw O'Neal retreating quickly. He paused. In the next moment, while twisting his waist and abdomen, he turned his left toe and took a step forward with his right foot.
It's just that this step was not forward, but forward to the right. He made a direction adjustment to avoid O'Neal, who was retreating in front of him.
For the plum blossom step, train on the stakes. When you take one step, not only is it a landing point, but all the surrounding wooden stakes may be the landing point.
Once you practice to a small level, you can temporarily adjust the landing point, and when used on the court, you can complete the change of breakthrough direction at the last moment through the cooperation of your body.
"What?"
O'Neal, who had just retreated, his eyes widened.
"..."
When Jordan outside saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but shrink.
At this moment, with a strong wind, Lao Wang landed in one step, took the ball into the paint area, jumped up from behind O'Neal, held the ball in his right hand, and flew towards the basket.
O'Neal was facing the baseline and was completely unable to react defensively.
"Bang!"
One-arm dunk, the Knicks' basket was exploded.
"yeah!"
The whole place was in a state of shock, with tens of thousands of people standing up, cheering and cheering.
"Yeah yeah yeah..."
After the baseline, the Lakers cheerleaders immediately cheered, shook the flowers in their hands, and then neatly performed leg raises, attracting the attention of countless people around the world.
Lao Wang didn't dare to look, because his wife was at the scene. If he stared at the skirts of the cheerleaders, Brother Fei might ask him to pay the public salary when he went back. During the crucial finals, he had been in debt and was beaten.
With a bunch of IOUs, how can I dare to pay public food at this time?
"Beautiful! Very beautiful! Old K turned around and pushed O'Neal back, then broke through his opponent and completed a flying dunk."
A live commentator shouted excitedly.
"O'Neal is like a fool in Old K's offense. He is using his butt to defend Old K. So I want to know, is he defending the media reporters behind the baseline, or is he trying to defend those excited cheerleaders? Haha, I
There is another question, which fish is the stupidest today? Come on, answer me!" Another on-site commentator asked loudly.
"Big shark!"
All Lakers fans shouted in unison.
"Ha ha……"
Then the entire Big West Forum went crazy laughing.
Being laughed at by countless people, O'Neal's face had turned from black to white, and he wanted to go up and bite old K. This bastard just used a breakthrough to get rid of him.
"I bet, Old K, it won't take long, maybe in the next minute, your ankles and knees will be broken by yourself." He spat bitterly.
"Silly fish!"
Lao Wang laughed and didn't bother to explain, because O'Neal didn't understand the club move.
The general steps of exercise are all lower limb movements, and sometimes even forced adjustments of the lower limbs, such as direction changes, can cause great damage and wear to the joints of the lower limbs.
But Plum Blossom Step is a coordinated use of the whole body, including turning movements and adjustments to the direction of the step, which all involve the head, waist and abdomen, lower limbs and other parts. Even the upper limbs need to be swung to cooperate and participate. It is definitely not just
For the forced adjustment of the lower limbs, the lower limbs were finally adjusted according to the situation. By that time, everything had already taken place, so there would not be much wear and tear on the joints of the lower limbs.
Just like the turning or direction-changing movements of the previous bear steps, the first thing to move is not the feet, but the head, then the head drives the neck, then the arms are waved, then the waist and abdomen, and finally the lower limbs.
This is when the Knicks attack.
Kobe defends and retreats at the same time. He defends with a big force and a small one. He doesn't know how to make steals, which makes it easy to get jumped. Just block Charlie Ward and don't let him break out.
After entering the league for two years, I have always paid attention to defense. Now my defense is indeed decent, but it is still far away from the standard of defending a strong player, but it is enough to defend Charlie Ward.
Ward advanced to the frontcourt and then handed the ball to Jordan, who was pulling out from the left wing to receive the ball. This was his duty as a point guard, holding the ball through half the court to save Jordan some energy.
Outside the three-point line on the left wing, Jordan took the ball and Richmond caught up with him. He protected the ball with his left elbow and dribbled toward the three-point line.
Kobe is at the top of the arc, half of his attention is on the left wing. As long as Jordan breaks through with the ball, he will immediately cover up the defense.
But his position will not be filled, because if Fox on the right comes to fill it, Dale Ellis, the deadly three-point shooter, will be empty.
Therefore, his defense must be fast, and at the same time, he must cut off the passing and receiving route between Jordan and Charlie Ward.
"squeak!"
At this moment, Jordan broke through with the ball, took a tentative step, shook Richmond's center of gravity, and broke through from the left.
Kobe gave up the defense because his defense had a prerequisite, that is, Jordan broke through from the right, and the breakthrough route was close to the top of the arc. If Jordan chose to break through from the left, the person who made up the defense would be Old K below.
But the next moment, Jordan took off, only one step inside the three-point line, and made a sudden stop to shoot, without giving any opponent a chance to defend. Even Richmond, who had turned around to pursue the defense, only had time to stretch out his hand from the side.
, no chance to take off and block the shot.
This is equivalent to an open space for Jordan.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit two points from far away.
"Testing steps, breaking through with the ball, making jump shots, a series of technical moves that are coherent and clean, he is indeed Michael Jordan." Zhang Lili couldn't help but admire.
2:2, Lakers attack.
Lao Wang once again positioned himself low on the left wing, and O'Neal took a half-step to defend.
"Will you try another one this time?" the big shark said fiercely.
"Silly Fish, I will do what you wish!" Lao Wang said with a smile.
"Fuck you silly fish!"
O'Neal wanted to bite him in one bite, like a shark, kill the damn old K, and then chew it until he ground it into pulp and swallowed it.
At this time, Richmond suddenly ran from the left wing to the top of the key, and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Kobe. The latter handed the ball to the former, and took a step laterally in time to block the pursuing Jordan.
Richmond caught the ball, jumped up behind Kobe, ignored Charlie Ward's defense, and decisively shot a three-pointer from the top of the key.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
"Beautiful! Rock hit a hollow three-pointer!" the on-site commentator shouted excitedly.
"Pa bang..." The audience immediately burst into warm applause.
"Michael, pay attention to the pick-and-roll, and be careful of Richmond shooting three-pointers from the top of the key. That's where he is most accurate." Phil Jackson immediately shouted from the sidelines.
Today, he was neither in the mood to sit down and meditate, but always stood on the sidelines, nor did he blow the hooligan whistle before shouting.
Jordan lost one, two and three, and lost four times. When he faced Old K, it was actually the same situation. If he lost again, which championship team would dare to ask him to be the head coach in the future?
Jordan was a bit embarrassed. With his defensive ability, he was actually blocked by Kobe Bryant. He didn't have time to get around. It was really shameful.
2:5, Knicks attack.
Charlie Ward is at the top of the arc, Jordan is holding the ball on the left three-point line, and the Sharks are asking for the ball in a strong position. The three of them form a triangle.
Lao Wang was also like O'Neal, taking half a step to defend and not fully defending.
From the regular season to now, there is still a whole series ahead, and he is ready to play the whole game, so he will not engage in a physical exhaustion battle with O'Neal.
O'Neal's physical fitness is not as good as his, so it's the same choice.
Jordan passed the ball to O'Neal, then immediately bypassed Richmond and cut inside into the paint.
At the same time, Charlie Ward at the top of the arc immediately moved to the left wing. If O'Neal and Jordan's offense was unfavorable, he would be ready to receive the pass and reorganize the offense.
On the right wing, the deadly shooter Ellis is also moving, according to the tactical requirements, to get rid of the defender and be exposed to Jordan's vision as much as possible.
Oakley, who is also on the right wing, is also preparing to set up a pick-and-roll for Ellis to create open opportunities for his teammates.
The two people on the right, Jordan inside, and O'Neal in the low post on the left, each form two triangles, which are the horns of each other.
In triangle tactics, all triangles change at any time. No matter whose hand the ball is in, the other two corners can be quickly found.
But on this ball, O'Neal had no intention of passing the ball. Even if Jordan cut in from above him, half a body ahead of Richmond, and asked him for the ball, he didn't give it to him.
Old K had just beaten him up, and he wanted to pay him back. This was a matter of dignity.
"Bang!"
Facing upward, dribbling with the right hand, pressing the old K with the left elbow, and starting to push inward through the impact of the left elbow and shoulder.
The illegal shoulder use rule, also known as the K rule, does not completely prohibit the use of the shoulders in the low position. It is impossible to prohibit it, but various restrictions are imposed.
For example, a sideways hit like O'Neal that does not exert much force and is not lethal can be used. However, if he dares to suddenly exert force and knock over a defender who is already in a defensive position through a sideways hit, he is likely to be called a violation.
.
Therefore, the introduction of the K Law in the past two years has also created certain restrictions for O'Neal. He used to often knock over defenders because of leaning sideways, but he did not have the lethality of Lao Wang.
This phenomenon is rare now.
Lao Wang did not use his chest to push, but protected his chest with both arms, used his arms to push O'Neal's left elbow, and slowly retreated back little by little, not giving O'Neal a chance to use his back arch.
As long as he takes two or three small steps back, O'Neal's attack will run out of time in three seconds. He must rush to take action. This is the critical moment for defense.
Sure enough, after taking only two small steps, about one foot each, Wang stepped back to the reasonable collision zone. O'Neal, who had run out of time to attack, suddenly turned around.
At this moment, Lao Wang stepped back another foot.
This retreat is very important. It can not only prevent O'Neal's dip, but also prevent O'Neal's dunk after turning up. If O'Neal chooses to take action, he can also go up in time to block the shot, which can be said to be one retreat and three defenses.
Sure enough, O'Neal didn't dip after he swung down, but turned around again. After the shark turned around, he directly grabbed the ball with his right hand and was about to dunk.
The timely retreat left time and space for the next defense. When O'Neal turned around, Lao Wang took a step upwards in time, took the lead, and blocked O'Neal in time.
"Peng!"
As soon as O'Neal turned around, he bumped into Lao Wang, who was knocked back a step.
If Lao Wang fell to the ground directly at this time, it would definitely be an offensive foul, but Lao Wang didn't even bother to get the ball in this way.
"drop!"
But this was the Lakers' home court. The referee didn't let O'Neal go. The whistle sounded and he gave an offensive foul.
"Silly Fish, let me give you a suggestion. From now on, you can shoot outside." The defense was successful, Lao Wang said with a smile.
"Don't think about it, I will definitely fight in." The depressed O'Neal said with his eyes wide open.
The Lakers attacked and after the two wings were spread apart, Kobe started dribbling at the top of the arc to hit Charlie Ward alone, crushing his opponent into the three-point line, and then suddenly hit him sideways.
"Peng!"
The force was exerted too quickly, and Charlie Ward did not evacuate in time, and was knocked upside down. The tonnage was too small, and he was knocked directly to the ground.
Kobe was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he knocked over a defender with Iron Mountain, but he immediately reacted and jumped up to take action.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the basket and O'Neal got the backcourt rebound.
"Damn it!"
Kobe smacked his right hand in frustration. This was already an open ball, but it actually hit the ball. He couldn't believe it.
"It's a pity that the open ball was missed! Alas, Kobe really has the temperament of a blacksmith." Su Qun sighed.
"Haha, the rhythm must have been a bit messed up. When Ward fell, Kobe was obviously stunned for a moment." Zhang Lili analyzed with a smile.
In the low post on the left wing, O'Neal received Jordan's pass again, and then another shark turned.
But this time, he turned around with a particularly large step, which was when he turned around and bypassed the defender. He directly bypassed Lao Wang and charged in. Then he pushed his left elbow against Lao Wang, jumped off one foot, and turned over on his own.
Smashed with hands.
"Bang!"
The violent sound of the basket exploding sounded, and three thousand away fans cheered instantly.
"Old K, how about this dunk? Can you stop me?" O'Neal roared excitedly after succeeding.
"Not very good."
Lao Wang said angrily.
4:5, Lakers attack.
"ball!"
After being hit, of course he had to fight back. This time, Lao Wang aggressively demanded the ball in the low post on the left wing, and Kobe immediately passed it in.
"Crack!"
The next moment after catching the ball with his right hand, Lao Wang immediately made a hook motion and raised his right hand upward.
This time, O'Neal, who had originally taken half a step to defend, immediately took half a step forward and made a defensive reaction, preparing to block Lao Wang's hook shot.
But for a moment, Lao Wang withdrew his right hand, turned around, and aimed his back at O'Neal's chest.
"Hit from behind?"
Even O'Neal couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he saw Old K's back as thick as a bear's back pointed at him.
The next moment, with a bang, Lao Wang dribbled the ball and pushed his feet downward at the same time. With the six forces united, Tieshan's back arch exploded instantly.
"Peng!"
Amidst the extremely heavy impact of flesh, O'Neill groaned, leaned his upper body back, and took a big step back.
But that's not the key. The key is that he lost his initiative.
At this time, Lao Wang stepped back with his left foot, started the bear step, and dribbled the ball with his right hand again, and the second post shot broke out instantly.
"Peng!"
O'Neal groaned again, but this time, his feet could no longer keep up, and his whole body immediately fell down and hit the floor under the basket, causing the floor to jump twice.
The next moment, Lao Wang turned around and jumped up, flying past O'Neal.
At this moment, O'Neal's eyes were splitting on the floor.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Wang Tiejun smashed the ball with both hands, and a very violent sound of hitting the basket was heard.
"yeah!"
The moment O'Neal fell, all the Lakers fans' mouths were already open, and at this moment, shouts of extreme excitement erupted instantly, drowning everything in the Great Western Forum Arena.
With his legs parted, Lao Wang fell to the ground, just sitting on O'Neal's head. He looked down at the shark on his crotch and shouted loudly: "Silly fish, does this dunk make you feel good?"
"Get away!"
O'Neal was so angry that he raised his hand and punched him.
Old Wang was so frightened that he jumped back, covered his crotch and cursed: "Silly fish, how did my second brother offend you?"
"It was you who offended me."
O'Neal rolled over and jumped towards Lao Wang.
"Want to fight? I'll help you!"
Lao Wang immediately took over the attack, and the two of them immediately started fighting each other.
"Ha ha……"
Barkley and his gang fell down laughing in the audience.
"Fight dad! Come on dad!"
Dabao excitedly waved his two little fists. If Yu Feihong hadn't hugged him, he might have rushed onto the court to help.
"Peng!"
Two seconds later, Lao Wang hugged and threw O'Neal directly under him, shouting: "Silly fish, you can't play ball, and you can't fight either. Do you accept it?"
"If you don't accept it, if you dare, let me get up and start over." O'Neal struggled.
At this time, players from the two teams rushed forward and separated the two.
"Shark, old K, that's it, okay? Don't take it too seriously, okay?" Oakley, one of the four villains, stood between the two and shouted.
O'Neal said sadly and angrily: "Old K is not a friend enough, he is riding on my head."
Lao Wang immediately said: "I didn't mean it. Who made your head just under the basket?"
The referee stood in the middle and said to the two of them: "Is there any problem? If there are still conflicts, go off the field and resolve them. Don't delay the game.
Gentlemen, I want to remind you that this is the finals, and at least hundreds of millions of people around the world, including your home country, are watching the game."
