Chapter 381 O'Neal: Can you guys stop doing this, I just want to play basketball well!
The game at the end of the first quarter completely fell into the rhythm of the Celtics. In just a few minutes, Lin Long collected all the defensive rebounds of the team and completely locked Malone and Aaron. , Sprewell and other four, whenever the Lakers make a shot, they will be like a tiger out of the cage, rushing towards the frontcourt, bringing the rhythm of the game completely.
In this case, the Lakers were completely powerless to parry Kyle's painful counterattack, especially when Malone could not play any advantage and effective offense against Lin Long, the Lakers were beaten by Kyle in just 3 minutes. Er Huren hit a 13:3 offensive climax and turned the score in one fell swoop.
Even if it wasn't for Kobe Bryant's 3-pointer at the end of the quarter, the Lakers would have been in a scoring drought for a full 4 minutes.
In the second quarter of the game, the recharged O'Neal made his debut directly at the beginning.
Under the circumstance that there were not enough fouls, Kyle finally stopped fouling him wildly. O'Neal also seized the opportunity and scored points in a row in this precious time.
The only different "five-three-seven" is that every time the Celtics foul the Lakers, O'Neal will have a bitter face, as if the foul was blown on the Lakers.
Of course, O'Neal would prefer that all of Kyle's fouls be counted on the Lakers, at least that way he can still play basketball.
In the CBS studio, Reggie Miller laughed out loud: "Look, look at O'Neal's expression, haha he's on the free throw line again! Oh god, I'm dying of laughter, O'Neal's expression is not at all. Got a 2+1 chance to get to the free throw line, but he's about to enter a cage with a female ape in heat!
"Maybe it's a male orangutan?" Brand, who has always been elegant and calm, suddenly whispered, and the whole studio fell silent. After 2 seconds, the five people hugged their stomachs together and laughed. El Marcus even laughed out of tears, clutching his stomach, he couldn't praise Brand in words, he could only stick out a thumb to represent his full respect.
In the first half of the second quarter, with O'Neal recovering, the Lakers re-launched a counterattack to quickly reduce the point difference. In the 4 minutes of the game, O'Neal turned around and dunked, not only scoring two points, but also Big Ben's foul was caused, and the difference between the two sides was only 3 points.
Even if O'Neal makes a free throw, the difference will be only 2 points!
But just as O'Neal walked to the free throw line, the nightmarish Vitali came on!
This guy, who is completely unworthy of mention in terms of body, strength and technical range, is like a demon from hell to O'Neal at this time!
O'Neal knew that the number of fouls must be counted, and the next foul would be a free throw.
O'Neal grimaced and threw the ball out tremblingly. Under his mentality, this shot was naturally another shot!
Lin Long grabbed the rebound and directed his teammates to move.
Because of Vitali's presence, the Celtics are equivalent to one more point that cannot be attacked.
So they are now playing in addition to Lin Long and Veritas, Bowen, Curry and Lewis.
It is the 3 most accurate shooters in the Celtics!
Lin Long once again played the role of the team's point guard. The three shooters stood at three points on the court, creating a very large attacking space for Lin Long.
In the face of Pippen's defense and increasingly blatant little movements, Lin Long also felt tireless. He could feel the pain in his waist, and Pippen must have pinched it!
"Scott, that's enough! If you bastard likes men, don't look for me! Don't touch me!" Lin Long glared at Pippen and threatened:
"If you don't stop, I will make you regret it!"
"I hear people say things like you every night, Lin, if you're a man, stop talking nonsense, don't be awkward, this is a basketball court! If you're not satisfied, you can play table tennis or badminton! I even I can introduce you to a few chicks with you, after all, you are more suitable for playing with girls!"
Pippen gradually probed the bottom line of the referee's game.
He feels that his defense against Lin Long is in place, and his lost confidence is slowly coming back.
"Scott, don't blame me for not reminding you, you'll regret it!"
Lin Long looked at Pippen, and he already had a preliminary plan in his mind about how to make Pippen regret it.
But not now, now Vitali stepped forward and made a screen for Lin Long. Although Vitali's various functions are not excellent or even passable, he is conscientious and has no complaints, and the quality of the screen is also good. Always very good.
Lin Long used his screen to get right through Pippen's defense, looking around as he dashed in.
Look for open spots on your teammates, and watch your opponent's defensive strategies while you're at it.
When Lin Long found that the Lakers' defensive formation was shrinking intentionally or unintentionally to double-team his own breakthrough, Lin Long did not hesitate to make a long, long, diagonal throw, giving the ball to the unmarked Dell in the opposite corner. Curry!
This year's season, Bowen's three-pointers from the bottom corner have become more and more accurate, coupled with Bowen's tough defense that the old Curry did not have, and the rapid growth of Lewis, the old Curry's playing time has long been getting more and more few.
But that's no reason to let the league's top shooter go empty!
Leaving him empty will inevitably pay the price.
"Shh!"
The old Curry made great achievements when he debuted and scored another 3 points for the team. This is the first 3 points he hit in this finals!
Excited, Curry made a 3 in both hands, roaring and quickly returning to defense. . . .
As a veteran, he can accept not to play and cheer on his teammates on the bench, but as long as he plays, he will definitely make due contributions to the team!
In the Lakers' offense, O'Neal came to the low position with some trepidation, and stuck Vitali with his back to reach for the ball.
Fisher, who was holding the ball, saw that O'Neal was in position, and just wanted to pass the ball, but saw that Vitali behind him was already making a gesture to hug O'Neal, and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
It was this hesitation that Curry, who had just been thrown away, rushed up again and stuck to Fisher again!
Curry knows he won't have a lot of playing time, so he doesn't care about his physical strength at all.
It is extremely rare to take out 120% of the energy to defend!
Fisher was a little embarrassed by Curry's sudden increase in intensity. Although he didn't miss the ball, the referee's whistle sounded.
"O'Neal, attack for 3 seconds! 59
O'Neal was in the 3-second zone for too long, and it was a violation!
O'Neal angrily rushed to the referee with his hands spread out, explaining that he did not enter the 3-second zone at all, but Crawford completely ignored him.
How can a violation that has been blown can be withdrawn?
In the Celtics' offense, Lin Long still held the ball, Vitali screened, and the other three opened up. This time, Lin Long used the screen to break through again to attract the double team and then scored Bowen, who was in the other bottom. Corner, hit 3 points.
The Lakers' offense has become more and more hesitant.
It stands to reason that O'Neal should give him the ball on the court, but everyone knows that if you give the ball to O'Neal, you will almost certainly be fouled, which directly makes O'Neal's position and the Lakers' 3.3 perimeter passing problems. .
In the end, it was Kobe Bryant who scored the ball decisively after O'Neal got the basketball strong to the basket to attract double teams.
After O'Neal got the basketball, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was waiting for Vitali's foul, and he dunked without picking up the basketball immediately.
This hesitation directly gave Vitali, who was attracted by Kobe, an opportunity to turn back to defend O'Neal, or turn back and hug O'Neal.
The referee blew the whistle again, and O'Neal, with a constipated expression, reluctantly stood on the free throw line.
"Can you guys stop doing this, I want to play basketball well!
O'Neal was extremely rare, and wailed to his opponent on the court.
Lin Long ignored him, but thought to himself: This is unbearable? Until next year this tactic is learned by two shameless old men like Popovich and Nelson, then you will know what despair and helplessness are. At that time, O'Neal, you don't even need to cross halftime, just stand directly at the free throw line!
