Chapter One Thousand and Nine

O'Neal is really in a hurry, counting this time, he has already been whistled for four fouls. And in just five minutes, Lamar really doesn't seem to want to let him go, every time he stares at him both offensively and defensively, as long as there is an opportunity, Lamar will immediately stick it up and make him foul.

was shouted by O'Neal, even if the referee was biased in favor of the Lakers, he was instructed by Stern to take care of the Los Angeles Lakers before the game, but was questioned so loudly by the players on the spot, and the referee's face was a little unbearable.

The referee on duty glanced at O'Neill: "I can see clearly, and I believe in my eyes!"

"You!" O'Neill was about to scold, but his remaining sanity held him back.

But Lamar doesn't want to let him go like that, and getting O'Neal off the court is the Knicks' priority right now.

Letting O'Neal go off the court is not only for revenge, but more importantly, without O'Neal's strong attack point on the inside, the overall strength of the Lakers will drop a lot.

Although even if O'Neal is gone, the Lakers still have Scola and Karl Malone to ensure the Lakers' interior offense and rebounding, but Karl Malone is there after all, and Scola's biggest feature is his outside projection ability.

Although Scola has greatly improved his technical ability after joining the NBA, he is known to be able to play inside and outside, but when he attacks inside, Scola still relies more on off-ball offense, and his ability to hold the ball alone is not strong.

Overall, O'Neal is the real anchor of the Lakers.

Thinking of this, Lamar hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "Mr. referee, you'd better keep an eye on this guy, I hope it's a good game, but I don't want a violent element to ruin it!"

O'Neal is also well-known in the league for his misdeeds, and he is also the least popular with Stern.

As soon as O'Neill heard Lamar's villain's words, the anger that had been forced to suppress suddenly came up again. The big shark came over to Lamar and shoved Lamar hard: "Bastard, what are you talking about? You bastard!"

In normal times, Lamar would have punched him a long time ago, but the consequences of doing so were not what he wanted. Therefore, in line with the principle of a harmonious society, Lamar used the most primitive and gentlemanly method to find the police for something!

"Mr. Referee, I don't think you should turn a blind eye, right?"

"What did you say?" O'Neill was really angry, and he had long forgotten how badly he had been treated by Lamar in the first place. At this time, the big shark's eyes were wide open, and smoke was coming out of his head.

The referee saw that the situation was showing signs of developing towards violence, and quickly blocked the middle of the two men. According to the referee's intentions, O'Neal should be eaten for malicious fouls, but when he thought of the explanation of league boss David Stern, he turned the malicious foul into a technical foul.

O'Neal, who was already dizzy, obviously lost his former calm, and he couldn't understand the referee's good intentions for a while. After seeing that the referee actually gave him a technical foul, the big shark's brain was boiling, and he began to yell relentlessly, "Are you blind? How much did these bastards give you。。。。。。 ”

Before the last word could be spit out, Carl Malone quickly covered O'Neill's mouth.

This game was expelled and at most this game could not be played, but if the crime of framing the referee is confirmed, the consequences will be really serious.

Since David Stern began to see NBA globalization as the biggest achievement of his career, the NBA's image has risen to unprecedented heights in the league. Maintaining the image of referees and law enforcement rights is naturally one of them!

Karl Malone believes that David Stern will never change his mind because of one O'Neal.

"Mr. Referee, I'll shut up this idiot!" Karl Malone hurriedly pleaded with the referee, but apparently he rarely did this kind of work, and his tone of voice did not mean a hint of forgiveness.

"Carl, what are you talking about? It's clear that this bastard is blind, I'm 。。。。。。 O'Neill was dizzy and a little out of words.

"Shut up! Shaq!" Malone glared at O'Neill fiercely, interrupted him, and then pleaded with the referee: "Mr. Referee, believe me, this is not his intention. You know it's going to be a tight game, it's going to be a bit too exciting, and he's just keeping his mouth shut right now. ”

The referee did not let O'Neill go because of Malone's plea, he was already annoyed by O'Neal's repeated provocations: "Since he can't keep his mouth shut, then go to the locker room and have a good situation!"

After speaking, he didn't give Malone a chance to continue to plead, raised his hand to be a t, and then pointed to the sidelines to expel him.

Seeing that the referee had done it, Lamar nodded his head and clapped his hands and said, "Well done, Mr. Referee, you made the right choice." ”

The referee glared at Lamar: "I don't need you to teach me how to do it!" I advise you to focus on the game, and if anything happens, that fat man with a foul mouth is the best example!"

The referee wasn't a fool, and he could see that Lamar was deliberately targeting O'Neal.

O'Neill only realized what he had done when he saw the referee make that gesture to him. After calming down, the big shark suddenly regretted it!

It's a pity that the wood is already in the boat, and it's too late to redeem it. Originally, O'Neill was still thinking about pulling Lamar as a backrest, but Lamar seemed to be deaf at this time, and he didn't react at all to those provocative words he said. Coupled with the fact that the referee looked at him more and more impatiently, O'Neill finally had to walk away.

lost O'Neal's anchor, and Jackson had no choice but to send Louis Scola again, who had not been resting for a long time, and handed over the task of the main attack to Kobe Bryant on the outside.

At this time, the score on the court was 68-64, and the Knicks still led by four points and controlled the ball.

O'Neal's departure was a turning point in the game for the Knicks, and without that threat, the Knicks could take the opportunity to extend their lead.

For the Lakers, it was a breaking point, and the loss of a strong interior barrier was self-evident. But who can say for sure that this isn't an opportunity for the Lakers?

The Black Mamba will only burst out with amazing power when his own life is threatened. At that time, even if they are facing lions, they will not hesitate to open their mouths and swallow each other.

Without O'Neal, a former comrade-in-arms, the Black Mamba finally showed his fangs when he saw the Knicks' imposing appearance.

"Wow!"

There was an uproar in the stadium, Lamar was actually cut off!

Although it was not directly from Lamar's hand, it was surprising enough to intercept Lamar's pass.

Just as Lamar was about to pass the ball to Battier, Bryant suddenly pounced on the rabbit and grabbed the ball firmly in his hand. Bryant then hit the Knicks' half with full power, ignoring Billups' defense, scoring the ball with a dunk and also causing Billups' defensive foul.

With the goal scored, the difference between the two sides was reduced to just one point, and the balance of the game tipped again.

Lamar raised his hand to signal, he was too careless about the ball just now, and Kobe Bryant seized the opportunity.

After another kick-off, Lamar received another pass before the three-point line and made a shooting pose.

Karl Malone jumped up to block, Lamar quickly retracted the ball when he saw this, then took two steps forward and hit a mid-range shot before Scola could make up the defense.

The Lakers attacked again, although Jackson kept signaling the team on the sidelines to pay attention to controlling the rhythm and play steadily, but Kobe Bryant didn't listen at all.

The Lakers' attack speed became faster and faster under Kobe's conscious manipulation. Kobe Bryant feels that he is in a very good state now, so in his opinion, if he doesn't attack at this time, it will be dizzy.

"Boom!"

Another slam dunk, and although Wade had tried his best to defend, he still couldn't prevent Kobe from scoring.

This black mamba was completely crazy at this time, and O'Neal's fate made him feel in danger. At this moment, Kobe Bryant can only fight hard, he doesn't want to lose, he hates failure, he hates all failures! So at this moment, Kobe Bryant unreservedly fully showed his strength.

Lamar is the same, he doesn't want to lose, he hates failure, and he hates all failures. From this moment on, the script seems to have returned to tradition, once again becoming a contest between two superstars.

In the rest of the third quarter, Lamar and Kobe Bryant became extremely excited, as if they had been injected with blood, and even the little physical strength they had left instantly became full. Every time they get the ball, the two will rush to the opponent's half without hesitation, attacking desperately, but the result is naturally that they are hit by the opponent's defenders and bruised.

"Toot!"

The red light at the end of the third quarter of the game finally came on, and the fans at the scene could breathe a sigh of relief.

What happened just now was so intense that the fans watching the game were so nervous that they didn't even have time to breathe. They could only stare intently with wide eyes, for fear of missing any wonderful moment.

But fortunately, at this moment, all this is finally over, and Lamar and Kobe Bryant also felt tired when they left the game, but their eyes were still full of raging war in each other's eyes.

The battle between the two superstars, Lamar and Kobe, has been awaited by the fans at the scene for a long time, and everyone present is extremely excited to be staged at this time. As a result, the fans don't care about the difference between themselves and the enemy, as long as it is a wonderful attack, they will not hesitate to applaud and cheer, and work hard to make the atmosphere change more and more enthusiastic.
