After dunking, O'Neal glanced at Lu, who was sitting on the ground, and reached out to pull him up from the ground.

Unlike Sun Hao and Iverson, Lu played for the Lakers before, but he was his former teammate and someone who made great contributions to the Lakers' championships in the past.

This is also the personality of everyone.

After seeing this scene, Sun Hao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It is really a blessing to have someone like O'Neal as a team member.

It would be great if Kobe could have realized this earlier in history.

The game continues.

Sun Hao gave O'Neal a very high degree of fit in the style of play, and coupled with the innate tacit understanding, the Lakers' offense was pleasing to the eye.

Just after reading this paragraph, fans can conclude that Phil Jackson has found the third team suitable for triangular offense.

However, the Lakers have never been able to widen the score.

In addition to the Wizards' own strength, the Lakers also exposed a relatively fatal weakness in the game.

Their defense is a bit bad now.

After just a few rounds of the game, the Lakers were already beaten into three defensive counterattacks by the Wizards.

O'Neal's weight gain and his backward defense began to be a little unavailable. Although Horry lost weight, the decline in age caused by his age was inevitable.

In addition, Howard is older, so it is not good to assist in defense or something.

Even Sun Hao is not good at defending.

In other words, Finley is the only one who can really defend the Lakers.

However, Finley's defense is the average level of the league, and the person he defends is McGrady, so he has almost no ability to help defend others.

So it is completely expected that the Lakers' poor defense is not good.

However, the offense covered up this problem. Although they could not open the score, they still had the advantage.

The game ended in the second half of the fourth quarter, and the Lakers led by 10 points 10 points 10 points.

There are not many leading players, but if you continue to play at this pace, the team has great hope of winning.

Sun Hao, then gave the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal has scored 39 points and 16 rebounds so far, and the explosion is not enough to describe his performance.

But Sun Hao felt that it was not enough.

After all, Kobe got 40+!

But just the moment O'Neal got the ball, Lafrenz seemed to see the young girl, and rushed over and hugged O'Neal.

The referee whistle sounded, signaling Lafrenz's defensive foul!

Because the Wizards' fouls have arrived, O'Neal was directly sent to the free throw line.

Sun Hao, don't be too familiar with this.

The fans on the scene were obviously familiar enough, and they were booed.

The tactic of killing people was invented by Auerbach in the 1990s. At that time, the target of his killing was "Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain.

And there is also a very interesting story about this tactic.

Chamberlain was already a rival to ten thousand people during the NCAA period, and his opponent knew that he was not good at free throws, so he often fouled him.

In order to solve this problem, Chamberlain chose to dunk during free throws!

Well, that's right, just like you think, rushing to dunk during free throws and scoring...

Don't be surprised, this rule was allowed in that era.

So, NCAA fans were able to see Chamberlain performing such magical and even "miraculous" free throws several times in one night.

Afterwards, NCAA's opponents felt that this was cheating. At the joint request, NCAA changed the free throw rules and was not allowed to use the free throw line dunk.

When the new century comes, O'Neal, who also has an epic body and talent, appears, and the free throws are also broken.

Old Nelson, Auerbach's disciple and O'Neal Dream Team's mentor, took out the tactic of killing people again.

Because O'Neal's nickname is the big shark, this tactic is also called the shark chopping tactic.

When Sun Hao played with the Mavericks before, the Mavericks used this to deal with O'Neal.

At that time, he also cut O'Neal as a slasher.

Now he has arrived at the Lakers and has become teammates with O'Neal, but the result is...

Well, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will the heaven spare?

O'Neal was sent to the free throw line and missed two free throws.

"Shaq's free throw is as stable as Sun's three-pointer."

In the commentary seat, Barkley was merciless.

After the Wizards captured the defensive rebound, they continued to catch the Lakers' slow retreat and defending, and Nelson scored a goal with a fast break.

Van Gundy asked Lu to start the game to defend Sun Hao, but the effect was not ideal. Sun Hao and Iverson are not the same type of players.

Nelson seized the opportunity. Although his defense was not very good, he played very well on the offensive end and had scored 8 points and 3 assists.

At this time, the basketball god in front of a certain TV showed a happy smile again.

He had decided that when Sun Hao retired, he would probably be the team boss at that time. He would definitely invite Sun Hao to his team as the operation president.

The Lakers' ball rights, this time before Sun Hao pushed the ball into the frontcourt, O'Neal... was fouled again.

When Sun Hao gave the ball out, he couldn't help but shake his head.

If you want to say that Albach killed Chamberlain and Old Nelson killed O'Neal, the biggest difference is probably influence.

Chamberlain was cut at that time, and was basically his old rival, the Celtics, and other teams did not do that often.

Because in that era, not daring to confront one's head was regarded as a weak behavior.

Chamberlain has publicly said more than once that Auerbach is a villain and can only use some tricks to win.

Even in some games, Chamberlain did not even protest.

Then when he arrived at O'Neal, Old Nelson carried forward this tactic and then began to use it in the entire league.

As the former assistant coach of old Nelson, Van Gundy naturally has experience.

After O'Neal was sent to the free throw line again, he took a few deep breaths to adjust his breath.

However...it's useless.

Another stable missed two free throws, and even the second ball was to avoid excessive force, he directly sent a three-no-touch penalty.

There was a turmoil at the scene.

Phil Jackson got up and called for a pause.

“Think about what is written in the books, relax your muscles, imagine you are under a tree full of greenery, you are just meditating and meditating.”

After the pause, Jackson did not arrange any tactics, but pulled O'Neal and spoke.

He wanted O'Neal to relax his mind and get those free throws.

That is what has the greatest impact on the situation on the field.

O'Neal nodded while listening, but judging from his eyes, he shouldn't have read...the book given to him by the Zen master.

Think about it, that's normal. Even Sun Hao is hard to read in that kind of book. O'Neal... Maybe he would rather choose to lose weight!

When Phil Jackson finished speaking, O'Neal turned to look at Sun Hao and suddenly spoke.

"Phil, let Vlad replace me."

Jackson was stunned for a while, and saw O'Neal looking at Sun Hao again. He understood what the latter meant, and then nodded.

"Win this game."

After O'Neal said that, he walked to Sun Hao with a smile, patted Sun Hao's shoulder and said.

Sun Hao, I didn't expect it.

When he was with the Mavericks before, Jackson would not replace O'Neal, and O'Neal would not take the initiative to ask for it.

But now something seems to have changed.

But from O'Neal's perspective, it's normal to do this.

He is not the kind of person who pursues data. If so, he would not have allowed Kobe to make his shots more powerful than him in the past few years, nor could he have made only 14 shots per game for the team last season.

You know he is still at the peak!

What he wants most is to win.

The experience of defeating Jordan that year but being swept by the Rockets was too hurt.

So even if it is 39 points, just 40 points, it is not a big deal for him.

And Sun Hao was fed him, so he didn't mind leaving the victory or defeat of the game to Sun Hao to deal with.

Also, he believed in Sun Hao.
