Chapter 546 It’s time to work hard
After the timeout, the game continues.
This time-out, the Knicks’ defensive tactics did not change much, only some fine-tuning, but the effect was immediately seen.
The Knicks attacked, Jordan missed a pull-up jumper, Pharaoh grabbed a rebound, and the Lakers attacked.
Pharaoh took the ball in the low post on the left wing. At this time, Fordson cut in from behind Oakley who was assisting in defense. He immediately scored the ball, but Oakley responded quickly and returned to defense, and then double-teamed Fordson with O’Neal. The Lakers failed to attack and the ball Taken by Oakley.
Wang Tiejun found that he ignored Oakley. Oakley’s help defense was not as aggressive as before, but was not in a hurry. He only blocked his slipping route, and did not mean to double-team him, so that when he passed the ball , Oakley will be able to get back to the cutting Fordson faster.
The Knicks’ defensive tactics changed, and as the offensive core on the court, he also made changes immediately.
“brush!”
Jordan singled Richmond and made a tentative breakthrough. At this time, O’Neal suddenly moved to the basket and restrained Wang Tiejun. He made a pull-up jumper from the left waist of the paint area and hit a nearly two-pointer.
“This is the role of O’Neal. Jordan’s nearly two-point shooting rate is the lowest, only 32.9%, but O’Neal suddenly moved to the basket just now, compressing the old K’s defensive space for him, so he can hit this nearly two-pointer. ,” Barkley said.
“With the two top stars on the inside and outside, O’Neal and Jordan can really play a 1+1>2 effect.” Kenny Smith said.
Bill Wharton said: “Then old K and Richmond join forces, it should be an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.”
On the field, Pharaoh, who was facing up, took the ball. Oakley had come from the weak side. After the pick-and-roll, Fox and Fortson on the weak side also cut in. His left elbow was against O’Neal, and his right hand grabbed the ball violently. A toss to where Fox cut in.
The next moment, Oakley, who had just helped defend behind O’Neal, made a sudden stop and turned around, pounced on Fox, and at the same time, O’Neal also began to turn.
But what about the ball?
As soon as the two turned around, their eyes widened because they didn’t see the basketball.
At this moment, they knew they had been fooled and turned around again.
“Boom!”
At the moment when O’Neal turned around, during the dribble, Pharaoh’s pendulum started, turned and slipped, directly punching O’Neal, and rushed into the paint area with a ferocious stride like a tiger. At this time, the ball was pulled up and caught in his hand. , he took off and jumped up to meet the basket.
“Oops!”
As soon as O’Neal turned around, a huge golden-yellow figure whizzed past him, and he didn’t have enough time to reach out and pull it down.
“It’s over!”
At this time, as soon as Oakley, who was under the basket, turned around, a strong wind blew his face, and his eyes were filled with golden colors.
“Boom!”
Amidst the heavy crash, Oakley flew in response. He was directly knocked into the air, not knocked over.
“boom!”
In the next instant, a violent explosion sounded.
“Di!”
The referee’s whistle blew.
“Boom!”
Oakley hit the floor two meters away, then slipped and hit the media booth behind the bottom line, knocking over two reporters and a camera.
“Oh!”
Madison Square Garden, exclaimed.
“ah!”
Only three thousand away fans cheered.
“Fuck them!”
Wang Tiejun waved his fists excitedly and shouted at Kobe and the others who came cheering.
This is his change, to strengthen his personal attack, if Oakley wants to double-team or not, then he will directly use strong attacks to defeat you.
“This time the Knicks are in trouble, Oakley should be hurting his lower back again!” Barkley shouted.
“Oakley’s tonnage is too light. In the face of Old K’s jumping dunks, he can’t stop it, and Old K didn’t hold back at all.” Bill Walton said.
Kenny Smith said: “Without Oakley’s help, the Knicks can’t guard against Old King at all, and O’Neal can’t guard against Old King by himself.
Old K obviously wants to beat Oakley first, just like the G1 battle. When he played Jazz, that was it, knock Sabonis down first. ”
On the sidelines, Phil Jackson looked nervously at the court, hoping that Oakley could stand up.
Then, he won the favor of Goddess of Luck. Oakley really got up and said that there was no problem and he could continue to fight, and he was relieved.
“Old K, you want to beat me down, it’s not that easy.” Oakley said to Pharaoh with a cold face.
Pharaoh smiled and said, “If you can’t do it once, just twice, let’s see how many times you can stop me.”
Oakley’s face twitched, you bastard, can’t you get O’Neal, what are you doing staring at me, an old guy?
“Ah!”
O’Neal suddenly sneezed.
Next, Pharaoh has to add a free throw. Just now Oakley didn’t take off to defend under the basket. Although he was knocked out, it was also considered a blocking foul.
“brush!”
added a free throw, 16:12, the Lakers led by 4 points.
The Knicks attacked, Jordan passed the ball and went to the left corner.
O’Neal was at a loss just now. He decided to play one. After catching the ball, he dribbled the ball inward, took two small steps, stepped on the left line of the paint area, and suddenly turned around and slipped.
Dribbling the ball with his left hand, when turning his right elbow, he stuck the ball outside, withstood Pharaoh’s pursuit, then stepped up and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.
“Oh **** ho…”
The on-site commentator immediately screamed in excitement, and then began his passionate commentary.
“Old K, you have the ability to block me!” After he succeeded, O’Neal proudly began to provoke Pharaoh.
“Silly Fish!”
Pharaoh cursed, turned around and ran forward.
“Don’t call me a fool, I’m a big shark.” O’Neal roared after him.
“ball!”
As soon as he reached the low position on the left wing, he carried O’Neal with his left elbow, and Pharaoh began to ask for the ball.
When Kobe passed the ball down, Pharaoh noticed from the corner of his left eye that Oakley was still here to help defend this time, but he did not reach the fastest speed. It should be the same plan as before, not to double-team him, only to block him The bottom slide, preventing his rim offense while guarding against Fordson or Fox’s backcuts.
“Snapped!”
The ball arrives, the right hand catches the ball, the next moment, between the dribble, the foot moves backwards, and instantly approaches O’Neal who is defending half a step. Through the contact of the buttocks and other parts, he perceives O’Neal’s position, and then the back fight starts immediately. .
O’Neal wanted to vacate, but the rhythm of old K’s back play was too fast, especially the step where his feet approached, so that he had no time to vacate. Now he knew that he would suffer, because old K’s back arch was repeated again and again. once, until it knocked him over.
Now he has to expect Oakley to come over and double-team Old K right away, otherwise he may not be able to hold on.
Because he knew O’Neal’s position, the first time he arched his back, Pharaoh exploded with all his strength.
Under the back arch of Iron Mountain, an explosive force was born, making him like a huge battering ram, and his broad back slammed into O’Neal’s chest with a short and extremely fierce momentum.
“Boom!”
Amidst the extremely heavy impact, O’Neill let out a strange cry in his throat, his 135kg body was uprooted by the force of the huge back arch, his feet loosened, and his center of gravity was lost.
“what?”
Oakley, who was behind O’Neal, saw this picture, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This kind of picture is familiar to him, because he often sees O’Neal knocking over other people with his back arch.
The next moment, O’Neal’s huge body collided, and he stretched out his hand to help him, but at this moment, Wang Tiejun’s second back arch came.
“Boom!”
In the sound of the impact, Oakley and O’Neal were knocked over to the basket at the same time.
“boom!”
The next moment, Wang Tiejun flew over the two of them, dunked with both hands, and the basket roared.
“yeah!”
Kobe and other players on the court, the Lakers bench, and 3,000 fans of the away team immediately raised their arms and cheered.
“…”
More than 17,000 home fans, on-site commentators, and all of them were dumbfounded, staring at Oakley and O’Neal on the floor under the basket.
“click, click…”
The media behind the bottom line is frantically pressing the shutter, O’Neal and Oakley have become the best background emperors, and they are double yolks.
“Haha, restricted area sweeper, this is my brother K’s super power. He is an invincible siege beast in the restricted area, and the little shark is a sardine under him. Old K turned O’Neal and Oakley into sardines. Canned food,” Barkley roared excitedly.
“Oh, this time, the Knicks’ double-Olympics team is unlucky, and they were knocked over by old K together.” Bill Walton shook his head.
Kenny Smith laughed excitedly: “It’s really great! Old K’s pace has improved, and after he has the face-to-basket technique, it is rare to see him such a violent back play now.”
“Get up and drive, old K is coming down!”
On the court, under the basket, and on the floor, Oakley looked at the old K who was hanging from the basket with his head hanging. He could come down at any time. Old K could do it. O’Neal on him.
“Old K, don’t mess around!”
O’Neal also panicked, for fear of being humiliated by Old K’s crotch again, he quickly turned over and got up.
“Silly fish, what did you say to me just now? Are you asking if I can stop you? Then I will tell you now, I will only crush you to pieces. You stupid fish, I will chop you up. The bar is cut into pieces and thrown into the Pacific Ocean to feed the sardines.”
After the two got up, Pharaoh also fell down. Excited, a series of trash talk spewed at O’Neal.
had just been knocked over, and also affected Oakley. O’Neal was so depressed that he was sprayed with saliva again, and he was so angry that he was about to faint.
“Old Oak, didn’t you get crushed to death by O’Neal? It’s very patient.” After the old man sprayed O’Neal, he started spraying Oakley again.
“Old K, don’t provoke me!”
Oakley hated his teeth so much that he couldn’t turn his face. After all, he still owed the favor of old K. Daben stayed by the old K’s side for a season and made great progress. Now he is playing the main center in the Clippers. But old K’s trash talk is so annoying.
“Guide Zhang, Old K rarely attacked in the first half. Does this back fight mean that he will launch a strong attack in the second half?” Su Qun asked excitedly.
Zhang Li nodded and smiled and said, “His physical energy consumption in the first half is not too big, and he will definitely play a dozen in the second half to open the score.”
On the field, 18:14, the Knicks attacked.
Jordan passed the ball to O’Neal with the intention of asking him to return one.
The Knicks’ morale was hit by the attack of old K just now. If O’Neal didn’t fight back, the Knicks’ morale would not recover.
O’Neal also knows this. He can only pick up the shame he has lost. Even if Jordan shoots, even if he scores a goal, unless it is the old K, he will not be able to pick up the shame he just lost.
“Boom…”
He started to dribble, ready to hit old K with his back.
Pharaoh doesn’t give O’Neal a chance to knock him over, he can knock O’Neal over, but as long as O’Neal is given a certain amount of space, he can also knock him over with the terrifying explosive power of sharks.
Pressing his chest against O’Neal’s back, his low-level confrontation ability at level 107 broke out. His top defense skills were brought into full play. In the confrontation between the virtual and the real, O’Neal could never find a chance to exert his back arch. Drilling in bit by bit, with this kind of progress, it is absolutely impossible to enter the reasonable collision zone within three seconds.
O’Neal can’t do anything, there is no chance of knocking over old K, then he will go in and deduct one, and let out a bad breath first.
“Snapped!”
But just as O’Neal was arching inward, Pharaoh suddenly exerted force, his feet slammed down, the six forces combined, his waist and abdomen twisted, and his left shoulder and chest slammed into O’Neal’s back.
“Iron Mountain! Good opportunity!”
Kobe, who was defending Charlie Ward at a high position, lit up and immediately jumped down.
“not good!”
Jordan, who was on the left wing, looked bad and rushed down.
This time, Pharaoh’s Tieshan lean is a close-fitting force, and the power is not great, but O’Neal was not guarded, and his upper body bent forward, his feet did not move, but the ball pulled from the floor was touched by his own hand. opened.
“floor ball, grab it!” Barkley shouted.
Pharaoh hurried up to grab the ball, entangled with O’Neal, and fell to the ground at the same time. The ball was knocked away, and no one grabbed it.
At this time, Kobe arrived, in the right position, and just got the ball. Seeing Jordan leave Richmond, he quickly passed the ball to the Rock, and the Rock immediately launched a fast break, Jordan couldn’t catch up.
“Damn it, I got old K’s way again!” O’Neal got up angrily.
“boom!”
At this time, Richmond drove the ball into the paint and completed a flying dunk on Charlie Ward’s head.
At this time, the low-level confrontation between the two giant beasts just now was constantly being played back on the hanging screen, and everyone looked up and stared.
Barkley praised: “Old K’s low-post confrontation skills are really the first in the league now. No, it is the first in history. He made O’Neal’s strength and explosiveness have no room to play at all. It’s great!”
Bill Walton nodded without hesitation: “Charles, I agree with what you said. Old K’s confrontation technique can be used not only in the low post, but also on the perimeter.”
Kenny Smith said: “Only Kobe has learned the skill of relying on the old K. He has the opportunity to learn this confrontation technique. If he masters this technique, his single defense ability should have the opportunity to improve a rank.”
20:14, the Lakers had a 6-point lead in the away game. The Knicks attacked and called a timeout after serving.
This is the second time the Knicks have suspended this quarter. It is now the eighth minute of the first quarter, and Phil Jackson can’t even wait for the official suspension.
Just adjusted the defensive tactics, but Old K exerted strength on both ends of the offense and defense, knocked over O’Neal and Oakley to complete a basket attack, and caused O’Neal’s second mistake in this quarter on the defensive end. Now the problem is even bigger. Make adjustments in a timely manner.
After the player came back, he came to Jordan and O’Neal, squatted down and said, “Michael, Shaq, the problem now is that Old K has exerted his strength, and he has exerted strength on both ends of the offense and defense, and we have to find a way to hold him down. ”
“Phil, tell me, what should I do.” Jordan asked, staring at Phil Jackson.
Phil Jackson also stared at Jordan and said: “Michael, on offense, I need your efficient scoring. On defense, I need your ability to defend fast breaks. Kobe and Richmond have played three fast breaks. We Not even once.”
Jordan gave a wry smile in his heart and nodded.
“Shaq?”
Phil Jackson stared at O’Neal again and said: “Shaq, you promised that you would explode with old K, and now it’s time for you to fulfill your promise.
Do you want to be pressed by the old K all your life? You were disgraced just now. You were disgraced in front of hundreds of millions of people all over the world. You must get it back from him.
If you can’t find it back, you will have no hope in your life, because even if Michael and you join forces, you can’t defeat the old K, will you still have a chance to defeat him in the future?
If you can’t do it, in this life you will be just his background board, the eternal background board, as long as he exists in the alliance for one day, you are not a big shark, you are just a small dried fish. ”
He knows that O’Neal still has potential, and he must find a way to fully tap the potential of this somewhat lazy big shark before it is possible to defeat the old K and the Lakers.
O’Neal’s breathing became heavy, like a giant beast panting.
In fact, Jordan was also hit by this sentence. Phil Jackson said that O’Neal and him can’t win against Old K. Isn’t it the other way around? If he and O’Neal can’t win Old King together, will he still have a chance to beat Old King in the future?
“You guys, prepare to work hard. If you don’t try your best, you won’t be able to win him.”
Phil Jackson said and stood up and put down the last sentence: “If you can’t win the Lakers tonight, this series is very likely to be lost.”
“Four losses?”
Hearing the last sentence, Jordan’s eyelids jumped and his hands were pinched to death instantly.
O’Neal was also very unwilling. After six years, he finally reached the finals, and he didn’t want to lose again.
“It’s time to work hard.”
The two of them looked at each other and nodded without saying anything.
