39:46, the Suns went on a 7-0 lead, leading by 7 points, and now the Lakers attack.
"Kobe, pass the ball in, O'Neal will help you." Phil Jackson shouted.
He is also very troubled. Kobe's status in the Lakers is too high. He was the hero of three consecutive championships and the core of the outside for the second and third championships. He and O'Neal, two outsiders combined, cannot challenge Kobe's status in the Lakers. Therefore, directing Kobe's
Sometimes, I was a little restrained and angered Kobe. I ignored him at all and went against him.
However, Kobe did not confront him this time. After Fisher held the ball across the center line, he did not ask for the ball. Fisher quickly passed the ball to O'Neal.
In the low position on the left wing, O'Neal held Lao Wang steadily and caught the ball.
He is now fully aware of the importance of huge tonnage. In the past, when the tonnage was not enough, Old K used a combination of virtual and real confrontation methods that made him a little unable to stand. But now, Old K's confrontation technology has no effect on him at all.
Useless.
When he thought of this, he regretted it. He should have gained weight a long time ago. How much good time was wasted! If he had gained weight earlier, maybe he would have a dynasty. Damn old K, robbed his dynasty!
The big butt was stuck back. After sensing Lao K's position, his back suddenly bumped backwards, and his back arch began.
"squeak!"
At this moment, Lao Wang immediately retreated and then dodged to the side.
"Oops!"
As soon as O'Neal hit the air with his back, he knew he was going to be embarrassed. With a bang, his back hit the floor and the floor jumped several times.
Lao Wang made a step, waved his arm, and reached out with his big hand. He grabbed the ball that was out of control and controlled the ball.
"Haha, is O'Neal too careless? Do you really think that with the tonnage, you can just press Lao K on the floor and rub him?" Barkley laughed.
"Looking at it now, Old K has dunked O'Neal twice and knocked over O'Neal once. It was Old K who was pressing him to the floor and rubbing him." Kenny Smith laughed.
"Bang!"
Marion was quick without the ball. He was extremely fast. After receiving a direct pass from Wang, he flew into the paint and made a fierce tomahawk slam.
"The Suns are generally very aware of fast breaks, especially Marion. Half of his points come from fast breaks." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"At critical moments, even Mr. K can participate in the quick action." Su Qun said with a smile.
"39:48, after the timeout, the Suns scored 9 points in a row, but the Lakers failed to score a single point. The offense suffered a serious setback. It was time to call another timeout," Zhang Liang said.
However, Phil Jackson did not call a timeout and the game continued.
Seeing that Kobe didn't ask for the ball, Fisher prepared to pass to O'Neal.
But at this moment, Lao Wang, who was on the defensive, suddenly moved to the front and implemented a forward defense.
When O'Neal saw it, he quickly moved to the basket and reached for the ball.
Fisher took a step back, avoided Nash in front, and then hoisted the ball to the left side of the basket.
"not good!"
But the moment he passed the ball, he saw from the corner of his eye that Old K had rushed in front of O'Neal.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang relied on his stronger bounce to steal the ball again.
Barkley excitedly shouted: "Beautiful, Old K's defense was too strong today. O'Neal's current tonnage is too big. He can't jump much anymore. The faster Old K can completely cut off O'Neal with his forward defense."
The line to catch the ball.”
On the court, Nash quickly came down, Kobe and Fisher were chasing and defending quickly, and the fast break opportunity was not good, so he immediately pulled out, waiting for the arrival of Old K, and engaged in a positional battle.
At this time Kenny Smith said: "Now it's the Lakers' turn to have a headache, how to pass the ball to O'Neal. Once O'Neal gets the ball in the low post, although you still have to be careful about Old K's defense, such as the withdrawal just now and the ball was lost, but
His low post offense is still a strong threat to Old K."
Buckley nodded and said: "Of course, the size of the shark is a threat to anyone, especially his wife, whose life is in danger."
"Ha ha……"
The two burst into laughter after saying this.
Lao Wang came to the low position and positioned on the left wing.
O'Neal pushes him outwards, but the tonnage is relatively small and difficult to contend with. This kind of consumption is unnecessary, so he might as well take a step back.
"Shark, one more?" he asked.
"Come on, come on." O'Neal, who was one step away, said unconvinced.
"Do I need to be called double-teamed? You know I don't mind, I'm used to you double-teaming me." He said.
"Don't come here!" O'Neal waved his hand and shouted in anger and shame.
"ball!"
Lao Wang immediately shouted loudly.
"Bang!"
As soon as the ball arrived, his offense immediately started, and he made an extremely flexible downward turn while dribbling.
"Fuck the bottom!"
O'Neal quickly retreated.
"Bang!"
Lao Wang, who was turning down, suddenly stopped, and while dribbling, he made a very flexible upward turn with O'Neal behind him.
O'Neal quickly half-turned upwards, took a step upwards, and barely kept up with the rhythm.
"Bang!"
But at this moment, between the explosions, Lao Wang quickly turned around for the third time and turned downwards.
The next moment, the ball exploded from the floor and was caught in Lao Wang's hand. Then it exploded instantly and he smashed the ball with both hands.
"It's over!"
O'Neal's mind kept up with the rhythm, but his body could no longer keep up. When his upper body turned around, his lower body failed to keep up. His legs were twisted together, and when he fell, he was hit by Lao Wang who was dunking.
turn.
"Bang!"
"drop!"
As the fierce bombing of the basket sounded, the referee's whistle also sounded, and then the American West Arena was drowned in huge cheers.
"ah!"
He made a fool of himself again and was dunked by Old K again. O'Neal on the floor punched the floor with grief and anger.
But he was still a little lucky that he was not injured this time. Both legs were twisted together. If he was knocked over by Old K again, if he was a little unlucky or his flexibility was a little less, the joints might be broken.
"O'Neal committed his fourth foul. This is only the second quarter. The Lakers probably have no chance today." Zhang Liji said immediately.
"Of the four fouls, three of them were blocking fouls without jumping to defend the basket. Director Zhang, this shows that Old K can still beat O'Neal!" Su Qun said excitedly.
Zhang Lili was also very excited and nodded: "It's different from before. Now O'Neal is too big. It's difficult for Old K to force O'Neal under the basket. But through a more flexible offensive method, these three blocking fouls really prove that he
You can still eat O'Neal by force."
In the TNT commentary box, Barkley shook his head and said: "Shaq must lose weight. He is too heavy and too big. Although he can increase his dominance at the basket, Old K's height and wingspan are the same as him. No, Old K still has
He is three centimeters taller than him, and his bounce is much better than him now. How high can O'Neal jump now? At thirty centimeters, Lao K can jump at least one meter, haha..."
Kenny Smith interrupted Barkley with a smile and said: "Charles, I know that old K is your brother, but you can't brag about him like that. He definitely can't jump one meter."
Barkley smiled and said: "What I mean is that the effect of Old K going around to defend O'Neal is very good. O'Neal cannot rely on his tonnage to gain a clear advantage at the basket. He can't catch the ball, even in the low posts on both wings."
When it comes to the ball, his tonnage is meaningless. He must lose weight and increase his mobility, otherwise I bet he will continue to be rubbed on the floor by Old K.
By the way, he is the one who is being pressed to the floor and rubbed, right? I think even Sharks fans can’t deny this, right? Haha.”
Kenny Smith smiled and shook his head and said: "No one can deny that Shark was indeed being rubbed on the floor by Old K. Time and time again, he was embarrassed."
Before the free throw, O'Neal was replaced. By now, he had no fighting spirit and his morale was shattered by Lao Wang.
Kobe asked him to think of a way to prevent Old K from hitting him, but he couldn't figure out a way, and he was knocked down by Old K's plum blossom step. What should he do?
With the demise of O'Neal, the Lakers no longer have the ability to compete with the Suns. Although Kobe is good, he is not as good as Jordan. With Wang in the low post, he can't make a difference.
However, Kobe still caused a lot of trouble for the Suns. Although Marion received guidance from Wang, Kobe also found a way to deal with it, which was to use a turn-around step-back jumper that was more stable than a turn-around fade-away jumper.
Get rid of Marion and still keep scoring points.
Marion's lunge defense allowed him to retreat in time and achieve the efficiency of attacking from behind, but it also had a big weakness. His feet were stretched too wide and he could not keep up with Kobe's retreat rhythm and was unable to rush forward in time.
At the same time, Kobe also strengthened his defense against Nash on the defensive end, forcing Nash to make consecutive mistakes.
At the end of halftime, the Suns led by 13 points. After O'Neal came off the court, Kobe held on alone and the Lakers did not collapse.
At the beginning of the second half, O'Neal came on the court again, but he was still very embarrassed by Lao Wang's forward defense. He had problems catching the ball. After another mistake, the outside didn't pass the ball to him very much, especially Kobe.
Completely ignored his request for the ball.
He vented his anger on Lao Wang and made great defensive moves.
In the fifth minute of the third quarter, the Suns attacked.
Lao Wang asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing, suddenly turned around and got rid of O'Neal, cut inside to the basket, and received the ball.
Fortunately, Lakers power forward Walker quickly returned to the basket and blocked it for half a second, allowing O'Neal to chase the basket and complete the double-team in time.
But at this moment, Lao Wang suddenly took a step back and jumped out of the double team. When he was about to dunk the two of them, O'Neal hugged him with both hands and threw him.
Fortunately, he didn't dare to hurt Lao Wang intentionally, so he held Lao Wang without letting go and put Lao Wang down on the floor.
"drop!"
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
Lao Wang stood up and glanced at O'Neal. He felt that the fat man was a little pitiful. Did he want to apply for early dismissal?
Sure enough, three minutes later, O'Neal fouled Lao Wang again and successfully received his sixth foul.
O'Neal played a total of 22 minutes. In the first quarter, he made 2 of 3 shots and 3 of 8 free throws. He scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. However, he did not score a point in the second quarter and committed four fouls. The third quarter also failed.
He only scored two points. He made 3 of 5 shots and 4 of 10 free throws. He only scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block, 5 turnovers and 6 fouls.
Kobe was extremely disappointed. He felt that O'Neal was far behind Old K. From his willpower to his desire to win to his skills, even his physical fitness, which was superior to Old K's in the past, was eliminated when he could not control his weight.
Old K had suppressed one end, and now he was crushed by Old K in all directions.
He believed that the huge tonnage did not allow O'Neal to dominate when facing Old K. Old K's strong defense made the fat man suffer. If O'Neal did not lose weight, he would continue to be pinned to the floor by Old K.
friction.
In the next game, Kobe took over the Lakers and exploded on both offense and defense.
But after O'Neal left the game, Wang Tiejun completely dominated the low post, exerted absolute dominance, and destroyed the Lakers in one fell swoop.
Kobe is Kobe. Even if the score difference reaches 20 points, he is not willing to leave the game. When Lao Wang left the game three minutes before the end of the game, he continued to play until the last second.
In the end, 100:115, the Suns won at home by 15 points.
Wang Tiejun played 41 minutes, making 20 of 28 shots, a shooting percentage of 71.4%, and 13 of 16 free throws, a shooting percentage of 81.2%. He scored 53 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls.
Kobe played 46 minutes, making 14 of 32 shots and a field goal percentage of 43.7%, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 35 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover and 3 fouls.
At the end of the game, Barkley shook his head and said: "Shark O'Neal's performance was disappointing. His huge tonnage did not give him an advantage in the matchup with Old K, but instead dragged him down. The result is that it is not him who will be the best.
K pressed him on the floor and rubbed him, but old K pressed him on the floor and rubbed him."
Having said this, he said sincerely: "Shaq, if you heard this, you'd better lose weight. You must reduce to at least 150 kilograms and restore part of your mobility. This will not only give you a tonnage advantage, but also increase your movement speed."
Only if you don't suffer too much can you compete with Lao K."
Kenny Smith nodded and said: "The huge tonnage makes it impossible for O'Neal to keep up with the rhythm of Old K. Even under the basket, it is not easy for him to catch the ball. This is when Old K is guarding him alone."
Barkley said: "Old K's strength quality is also extremely strong. He still maintains a tonnage of 130 kilograms. O'Neal cannot squeeze away Old K with just a touch like he can with other opponents. He has to use all his strength to squeeze away Old K.
.
Therefore, his tonnage does not have an absolute advantage over Old K, but Old K’s mobility has an absolute advantage over him, which is why he was pressed to the floor and rubbed by Old K.”
On the court, Kobe was talking to Lao Wang.
"Old K, please tell me, what is that weird gait of Marion, that is, the gait of standing one behind the other?"
Lao Wang shook his head and said with a confused expression: "Then you have to ask Marion. Why are you asking me?"
"Don't pretend, you must have taught Marion." Kobe said angrily.
"Ha ha……"
Lao Wang was too lazy to pretend, and said with a smile: "Didn't you crack it? Why do you ask?"
"No, I can only use a step-back jumper to break through, but that kind of defense makes it impossible for me to rely on fighting and break through." Kobe said anxiously.
The reason why he is so efficient is that he relies on Tieshan to gain space for shots and breakthroughs through fighting, especially breakthroughs. His first step is not fast enough, and this advantage cannot be lost.
At the beginning of the second quarter today, Marion's defensive position gave him a headache, causing his shooting percentage to be lower than normal.
If his opponents in the future use Marion's method of defending against him, won't he become a blacksmith again?
Lao Wang scolded: "Idiot, you can use the plum blossom step to get rid of him and change the direction of attack. It will teach you in vain. If you can't apply what you learned, you will never be able to surpass that old boy Jordan."
Kobe was stunned, slapped his thigh hard, and sighed: "I was so angry at you on the court, I forgot about it."
"Who is angry with you?" Lao Wang asked curiously.
"Who else could it be? You, and that big fat guy." Kobe said angrily.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang slapped Kobe on his head. Kobe squealed, dodged and said angrily: "Old K, why are you hitting me again? There are so many reporters and fans watching."
"Kachakacha..."
A group of reporters waiting nearby quickly pressed the shutter.
Looking at Jerry West, Magic Johnson, and Phil Jackson, the corners of their eyes couldn't help but twitch. The only person in the world who can treat Kobe like this is Old K, not even Kobe's parents.
"Do I need a reason to hit you?"
After Lao Wang asked back, he cursed again: "You idiot, if you drive away O'Neal, who do you think you can find to help you?"
"But he's just not as good as you." Kobe argued.
"That's better than others."
Lao Wang said something, thought for a while and then persuaded: "Jordan could force O'Neal to lose weight back then, couldn't you?"
Kobe shook his head and said: "After he won the championship, his mentality has changed. He can't bear the hardship anymore. No one can persuade him."
"Then there's nothing we can do."
Lao Wang shook his head, patted Kobe on the shoulder, turned around and began to accept the on-site interviews from the reporters.
"Old K, what do you most want to say to O'Neal right now?" a reporter from TNT asked.
Lao Wang turned his head and looked. O'Neal was not there. He must have left just now when he was talking to Kobe. He smiled and said: "I want to say that my family is still short of a job as a Cat Wolf. Shaq, are you willing to apply?"
"
"Ha ha……"
Two reporters who had heard the trash talk in the press box burst out laughing.
"Old K, what do you mean, can you explain it more clearly?" the reporter from TNT asked hurriedly.
"No, you ask them both."
Lao Wang didn't want to waste any time and pushed quickly. This chapter has been completed!
