Chapter 167(1/2)
166. Not OK
It turns out the warden can dunk!
Watching Liu Xiu quickly running back to the backcourt and high-fiving his teammates who came back from defense, the scene was filled with excitement.
If fans remember correctly, this is Liu Xiu's first dunk on an NBA court.
The first dunk in NBA career, dunking on O'Neal! Full of sense of ceremony!
As for O'Neal's cannibalistic expression...Oh, this is Portland Prison.
No, O'Neal ran to Liu Xiu with murderous intent, lowered his head and looked at Liu Xiu fiercely and said: "Rookie, the big shark is very angry, and the consequences will be serious!"
Liu Xiu tilted his neck and said diagonally upward: "Please buckle me."
O'Neal's eyes were as wide as bells...
Don’t be shy!
O'Neal initially thought that an unnamed No. 8 player was pressing on his back to grab his rebound. After realizing that he was dunked, he immediately wanted to hit him.
Liu Xiu was not stupid, and he would definitely run away immediately. O'Neal's big fist was no better than that of a man with small hands who was also picked in the 13th pick.
As for O'Neal's subsequent anger, that is none of his business.
He is very happy now!
Payton pressed the pace and pushed forward, with Kareem Rush escorting him.
Rush came outside the three-point line, and Liu Xiu took the initiative to confront him.
Is this kind of defense expensive? It doesn't matter. He just picked up the jersey when he ran back to the backcourt, and after dunking on O'Neal, his heart was beating wildly and his heart quickly calmed down.
The little blacksmith’s ‘strength of physical strength’ is the cow.
O'Neal angrily entered the inside line, vented his anger on Spandinha, and relied on Spandinha to actively seek confrontation.
It was supposed to be a tactical play, but Malone was already in the supporting position, but when O'Neal asked for the ball, even Kobe moved to the weak side to wait for the response...
They have been working together for more than half a season, and Payton still can't understand these two guys.
We are obviously so compatible, and we are willing to accommodate and achieve each other's achievements on the court, but we are always at odds with each other.
As for when they were opponents, they used to trash-talk Kobe and sow discord... aren't they now teammates?
Payton cursed and lobbed the ball to O'Neal.
Spandinha, who weighed nearly 130 kilograms, fought hard against O'Neal and was particularly active!
O'Neal took a step away from Spandinha, turned right and walked to the baseline to avoid the outlaws who were attacking him. He grabbed the ball, leaned forward, took a step across the baseline, stood up and made a layup!
Spandinha rubbed her chest, it hurt!
Pick up the ball and serve it to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu received the ball and said: "Well done, give him more confrontation!"
Spandinha ran forward excitedly and was praised (p≧w≦q).
After halftime, Liu Xiu passed the ball to the little flying squirrel, and then pulled it to the right at a 30-degree angle. This angle is his best shooting angle. He can shoot three-pointers well in this area.
The little flying squirrel didn't think about coordination this time. It only had one goal - to beat Payton alone!
Time, space, and preparation are all more sufficient than in the previous round.
A breakthrough with a change of direction + an emergency stop and a step back. The little flying squirrel hit a three-pointer half a step outside the top arc on the left side!
18 to 19, the Trail Blazers continue to hold on to the score!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.
O'Neal continued to catch the ball and hit singles.
After venting his anger with a ball, O'Neal planned to feint to attract a double attack and score the ball.
Fighting Spandinia is so tiring!
If it was the beginning, it would be fine, but after being consumed by Randolph, Tianzun, and Dale Davis for half a quarter of the game, it was a bit too much to play against a meat shield center like Spandinha.
After so many years, each team has already had rich experience in using meat shield centers, instead of just using large-tonnage centers to fight against each other as foolishly as before.
However, after O'Neal received the ball and made a feint, it was that damn rookie who rushed in to grab it!
Pass the ball?
Spread the word!
O'Neal slammed into Spandinha.
O'Neal's attack was slow this time. Spandinilla was fully prepared to lower his center of gravity to prevent collisions. The defender came in to pounce. O'Neal did not dare to step back to collect the ball. He actually hit him and knocked Spandini away.
Ya Chong took a step back, grabbed the ball, and put the basket...
If this goal is scored, O'Neal's face will be barely redeemed.
However, the ball didn't go in! The ball hit the inside of the basket and bounced out.
A little further away, O'Neal's self-shooting shot failed, and Liu Xiu, who came up from a double attack, protected the defensive rebound!
The offense and defense transitioned, and the little flying squirrel continued to play singles.
Payton is really not good at guarding players like Little Flying Squirrel alone, pressing up to block long shots.
The little flying squirrel broke through and scored the ball. Liu Xiu caught the ball at the right corner. At the same time, the lawless gangster cooperated and ran around the baseline from the right side of the three-second zone.
Rush went to cover up Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu passed the ball, the lawless man caught the ball at close range on the right side, turned around and jumped high, Malone made up for it, but the cover was lonely, Ma Long took off hard, his hands were touched
Less than the elbow of the outlaw who jumped with all his might without resistance!
The outlaw hit a close shot, 20 to 19, and the Trail Blazers took the lead!
Tianzun's defense and attack ignited the fighting spirit of his teammates, and Liu Xiu's dunk was like pouring a bucket of oil on the fire!
At least tonight, no matter how big the setback they encounter, the fighting spirit of the Trail Blazers players will not be extinguished!
When the Lakers attacked, O'Neal, who felt his face was dull, continued to play in isolation.
Liu Xiu decisively attacked from the flank, and the rest of the Trail Blazers received Liu Xiu's instructions when retreating, shrinking, blocking flank cuts, cutting off high passes... and they started to cooperate!
The big shark, which was extremely ferocious in the first half of the quarter, is now like a trapped beast!
The Sharks, who had been attacking for many rounds, faced the defense of the large Spandinha and missed the hook in a singles turn!
Randolph collected the defensive rebound in time.
Looking back, it was the outlaw who made a contribution again. He took a step close to the basket on the right side of the free throw line and took a step to catch the ball, causing Kobe to foul the defender and walk to the free throw line!
The Outlaws hit the first free throw, and the sound of substitutions sounded from the technical table.
The Lakers replaced Rush with Fisher.
The Zen master whistled and gestured to the players on the court - thumb and index finger formed a circle, stop, ring finger, little finger straight... 3?
No!
It’s OK!
The outlaw's second free throw shot... was ironic.
Seeing Malone collect the rebound, the outlaw slapped his head in annoyance, immediately turned around and retreated to concentrate.
Fisher advanced past half court, and his ball-holding work ended. He passed to Malone, who was one step beyond the free throw line, and ran towards the left corner.
Payton slipped the baseline, and Kobe stepped up to help Fisher block Liu Xiu when Fisher ran to the left corner.
After forcing Liu Xiu and the Outlaws to switch defenses, Kobe accelerated around the top arc, bypassed Malone, cut along the right sideline of the three-second zone, received a pass from Malone, and went straight to the basket to meet Spandinha's rebound.
Anti-jump, duck in the air...not a pull-bar shot, but a pass!
Kobe stretched the ball behind Spandinha and passed it to the left side of the three-second zone. O'Neal caught the ball and took off with a step, smashing the frame with both hands for a dunk!
This ball made O'Neal very happy. After landing, he raised his hands and rushed towards Kobe for a hug...Kobe ignored O'Neal and ran to the backcourt.
O'Neal's mood became depressed again due to Kobe's bad face.
On the other side, the Trail Blazers players felt that the OK combination was too strong!
They felt a pain in the ass and seemed to have forced the OK group to start cooperating.
But have they ever thought about it?
Of course, they did, but they still chose to seize every available opportunity.
When playing against different opponents, the long-term vision is different. When playing against the Lakers with a full roster, the long-term vision is equivalent to being ambitious.
First grab what you can grab at the moment.
If you look forward and backward, you will be like two months ago, and you will be hammered from the beginning.
When the Trail Blazers attacked and played several rounds in a row, the little flying squirrel was about to slow down.
Liu Xiu gestured to the outlaws to come and support him.
Randolph, who was leaning on Malone in the low post, immediately pulled away.
To be continued...
