OK is a basic word in English, the most common mundane word. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But in the NBA, OK is two words that make people feel intimidated. OK is the most terrifying combination, which broke the Spurs Twin Towers, abused the Kings and Five Tigers, and completed the combination of three consecutive championships. OK represents two people who deserve to be hailed as the best duo of all time.

O: Shaq. O'Neal, a super center who could wrestle with Big Dream just after his debut, led the Magic to eliminate Jordan's Bulls in '95, and was Jordan's only series loss in the middle of six championships. In today's aging days of Olajuwon and Robinson, he is the undisputed No. 1 center in the league, a three-time Finals MVP, and an absolute ruler. Now that the media is praising Yao Ming as the future No. 1 center, O'Neill is very unhappy about this. And fate sent Team Rocket to him.

K: Kobe. Bryant, the representative of the 96 gold class, was a young man who loved to imitate the football god Jordan. Smoothly assisted the sharks to win three consecutive championships. But when O'Neal is slacking off, Kobe Bryant will really show his grandeur and show all his strength to prove that he is also a superstar and Jordan's number one successor. In the 2001 playoffs, Carter eliminated Iverson (the reverse of history), and Kobe Bryant defeated Carter to win the championship. If it weren't for the presence of O'Neal's superstar that overshadowed Kobe's brilliance, perhaps the conclusion that Jordan's successor is Kobe Bryant would no longer need to be discussed. But now Maddie has stood up again to compete with Kobe, and Kobe is trying to teach this junior a lesson. Fate sent the rocket to him.

The Houston Rockets are facing these two scrappy superstars, two superstars who are counted among the most in NBA history.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers held the lead 68-54. The hot Kobe Bryant cut 28+3+7 on 12-of-16 shooting, while O'Neal's 14+6+2 also completely suppressed Yao Ming. Taking advantage of O'Neal's rest in the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, Yao Ming suppressed Walker and scored 6 points in a row, but he only scored 9+4 in the first half.

"Boys, lift your spirits, we're facing a triple crown!" Coach Smith felt a lot of headaches, he was less qualified, and he didn't dare to call the big stars in the team casually. But now is an extraordinary time, and he can only shout.

"Coach, what tactics are we going to play in the third quarter?" Captain Dameng asked.

"Maintain the tactics of the second quarter, Hakim, you go up to consume the sharks first, and let Yao Ming take out their replacement. In addition......" Smith glanced at Maddie hesitantly, and finally relented: "Tracy, Bryant is in too good shape today. The team needs you to contain him, and only you can contain him. ”

"Let me have one-on-one with him, guys." Maddie gave her rare opinion. "In the first half, Heaton and Richard defended Kobe Bryant for a long time instead of me, but he felt so good that he threw the difficult ball, and I came by myself in the second half."

Yuanfei sighed secretly, this is what he wants Sean. Battier's reason. Both Jefferson and Turkoglou have passable defense, but they don't have enough to see when they meet a superstar like Kobe. Only a super-strong defender like Battier can contain Kobe, and now it's up to Maddy.

"The players who are waiting for the next game are still in the starting five." Smith said that he was still a little conservative in his troop deployment.

***

As soon as Kobe Bryant made a foul on Maddy, two free throws and two hits, his personal score reached 30, and O'Neal also scored a goal, and the Lakers led 72:54.

Smith had no choice, so he found an opportunity to replace Yao Ming again.

"Coach." As soon as he got off the court, Olajuwon couldn't hold back and said: "We used to play the Lakers in the third quarter, so why don't we implement it this time?" It's okay to play 2-2 against the Lakers this season. ”

Smith looked at Yuan Fei, saw that the latter didn't say anything, and said: "This is considering using Yao's strong point to hit the opponent's substitute inside." Amplify our strengths. ”

'To be honest, it wasn't very successful in the first half and I take responsibility.' Yuan Fei finally spoke: "The Zen master is an old fox, O'Neill played a full 22 minutes in the first half, and Yao had no chance to play the opponent's substitute at all. We can consider using a small lineup, and it's not too late for us to go to Yao when O'Neal goes down. ”

"Okay." Smith nodded repeatedly, "Then let's call a timeout for Memet, Gerrard, Heaton, Tracy, Tony, these five." ”

Yuan Fei shook his head secretly, this Smith didn't have any ideas, not the head coach's material. He added: "It's important to get the rhythm up, our advantage is that the bench is better than the Lakers, and it's going to take their stamina. ”

"I'll leave the rhythm to me." Parker, who had been waiting for half time, smiled.

O'Neal dunked again, and the 80-58 margin had widened to 22 points. The Rockets called a timeout.

"Looks like we can rest in the fourth quarter!" O'Neill laughed and sat down, he was indeed a little tired.

"Don't underestimate your opponent, Shaq." Phil. Jackson is a wise Zen master, and he has always been the soul of the Lakers. "The Rockets' bench is very strong, and once Shaq and Kobe Bryant rest, the opponent may catch up with the score all at once."

"Then let's take a break?" Bryant asked.

"Well, the opponent may change the run-and-bomb lineup and let Shaq take a break." The Zen master always kept his calm like this.

***

"Sure enough, as the coach expected." The Lakers secretly admired Jackson. Team Rocket's substitutions were completely seen through by the wise Zen master.

Of course, it's one thing to see through it, it's another thing to be able to deal with it. As the biggest inside giant in the league, O'Neal is difficult to defend against running and shooting, and of course, opponents can't guard against him. However, the Zen master avoided this difficult choice and directly let O'Neill rest.

Maddie switched to running off the ball and weaved through the crowd, and Bryant kept running after him. Parker was still dribbling the ball and found Oku, who ran out of the open space, but unfortunately missed the three-point shot.

The Lakers protected the rebound and passed it to Kobe, but Maddy quickly cut the ball off and advanced to the three-point line to leap high and pull a three-pointer. Bryant just accelerated to catch up, and he didn't have time to make defensive moves. Ball in, 80:61.

"Look at me back for you!" Kobe Bryant beat Maddie strongly, and after the physical confrontation, he scored in the basketball with high difficulty. The referee's whistle didn't blow, and Bryant complained to the referee about wanting to add a free throw while returning to the defense.

Parker sped up and ran, as did the other four Rockets. Maddie ran to the bottom corner and Kobe was not in place, Parker found Maddy in the open space and scored a three-pointer!

"I feel good today, I must fight back again!" Bryant was furious, but missed the jumper this time. Parker catches the ball again and runs, and Kobe Bryant stares at Maddie and thinks to himself that this time he will not let you score!

Maddie used her long arm to get the ball, did two wobbles, and pulled a three-pointer. "I can seal it this time!" Bryant made a defensive move. But Maddie jumped too high, and Bryant's arm span was insufficient to reach the ball.

Ball in, 82:67! Maddie's three consecutive three-pointers made the dejected Rockets fans cheer again!

Parker broke the ball again, this time Wallace caught the ball in the three-second zone, and the Lakers' defenders were all pulled away by the Rockets' pitchers. Wallace scored on an easy dunk, 82-69. The audience applauded. Unmoved, he did not call a timeout, but left the players to solve the problem themselves. After all, the Lakers' players are all veterans, and the youngest Kobe Bryant is almost 25 years old.

Bryant missed another shot under Maddy's tight marking, and Turkoglu hit a three-pointer. 82:72, only 10 points away! The Rockets fans on the sidelines were almost hoarse.

Bryant hit hard again, and finally caused Wallace, who came to help defend him, to foul and hit two free throws. "I've scored 36 points! They are no match for me! Kobe Bryant cheered for himself in his heart.

Parker scored on a layup on Fisher, 84-74.

Bryant passed the ball to Fox this time, and he hit a three-pointer.

The Rockets are still fast-breaking, and Oku's shot is successful. At 84:76, the cheers of the Rockets fans were about to break the sky.

Phil. Jackson finally lost his breath and called a timeout, ready to get O'Neal back on the court.

"Kobe Bryant is amazing!" Maddie shook his head and said, "I tried my best, and he can shoot when the defense is in place." ”

"But you also scored three threes under his defense." Smith laughed: "The Lakers are not so scary, the difference is already only 8 points, we can win." ”

"Ok are the strongest duo in the league, but we're also strong enough to win this series." Olajuwon also cheered on the players. "Come on, boys!"

But the next race wasn't as easy as the big dreams had made. The immature Oku was completely unable to fight against O'Neal, and although the Rockets shot a series of three-pointers from the outside, O'Neal also blew up the Rockets' interior. At 98:86 of the end of the third quarter, O'Neal scored 12 points in the first half of the quarter. Yao Ming, who recovered to his best physical strength in the fourth quarter, barely managed to tie the game against O'Neal at the end of the strong crossbow, and although Bryant lost his touch in the second half, the Lakers retained the lead under the strong O'Neal.

At 117:110, the Rockets lost the first game of the playoffs at home.

O'Neal played 42 minutes and got 34+12, and Kobe Bryant played 44 minutes and got 40+5+8. Both superstars have been dominant.

For the Rockets, Maddie got 25+9+5, except for a sudden outburst in the third quarter, most of the time his performance was mediocre. Yao Ming got 10+11+3, which can be regarded as a passing grade. If you want to beat the powerful Lakers, it is obviously not enough to rely on a passing performance. The aging Olajuwon only got 6+5, and obviously wants to fight against the big sharks, and the big dream is no longer competent.

But Yuanfei seems to see an opportunity to win.
