"Shaq O'Neal is on the field! He replaced this year's rookie Tyrese Knight. It seems that Parish's offense has hurt the Lakers. ”

"Van Axel passes the ball low O'Neal and gets up after receiving the ball! Knock off Parrish and dunk to score! 2+1！ The basket is shaking! ”

"Does the aging Parish regret coming to the Bulls?"

"Cole's three points are interfered with by Fisher! Long rebounds! O'Neal soared into the air and grabbed the rebound without hesitation! Dribble down! ”

"The 2.16-meter giant is down with the ball! Turn your back and get past Bill Winnington! There was no one in front of him! ”

"OMG, Shaq puts the ball in the basket with both hands! This scene made me feel like I saw a big shark flying out of the sea! Slammed into the water again! ”

"Horry passes the ball to O'Neal on the left side of the basket! Bag clip! Bill Winnington and Robert Parrish caught O'Neal with one left and one right! ”

"Tough turn! Shaq has two people hanging from him and smashes the ball into the basket hard! 2+1 again! ”

"Shaq took the overlord step!"

"Toot!" The bull asks for a timeout.

The United Center arena became silent, and O'Neal single-handedly hit an 8-0 climax to stop the game.

Don't forget, Shaq is also a game-changing superstar!

"Start the game." Phil Jackson can't sit idly by, Shaq's destructive power made the Bulls bench collapse directly, rather than believing that the bench can adjust on its own, it is better to put the starter early.

The Lakers also changed to the starters, and only 3 minutes after the second quarter, the bayonets on both sides were red!

Lakers 34:29 Bulls!

For the rest of the second quarter, the Lakers' tactics all revolved around Shaq, blocking and dismantling, and playing singles in the low post!

And Shaq had the best single quarter of the season! It doesn't matter if the other person is one, two or three! There's always a way for him to get the ball in the hoop!

When a superstar is on fire, he's unstoppable!

At this time, Shaq's lethality is far inferior to Jordan's.

Kobe Bryant had 5 assists in a single quarter, 4 of which were assists generated by the cooperation with Shaq, either directly to Shaq's basket to score, or assist the player who created an open position in the pack.

There is no doubt that in the second quarter, Shaq O'Neal single-handedly turned the field upside down!

Everyone, whether it's Jordan or Kobe, has become a supporting role, and Shaq O'Neal is the ruler of this section of the game!

The whistle blew in midfield, and Shaq was already sweating. The Lakers players hugged him back to the locker room.

The Lakers scored 31 points in a single quarter!

Los Angeles Lakers 54:47 Chicago Bulls.

Shaq O'Neal had 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the half, and he dominated the paint zone.

Bryant had 11 points and 9 assists, and he didn't force a shot in front of Jordan, feeding Shaq more of the ball, and Shaq's tough performance allowed him to score a double-double in the half.

Jordan had 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in the half, and Kobe's single defense gave Jordan almost unlimited firing rights. Although the score may seem high, the efficiency is not so impressive.

The reason is that Kobe's single defense has played the effect of other teams pinching and assisting defense!

One person firmly controlled Jordan's scoring shooting rate at fifty percent!

This is very difficult for other teams to do, and the consequence of trying to defend Jordan alone is often to become a backdrop for Jordan's honor.

Jordan's air cuts and off-ball runs were all guarded by Kobe! It seems that every tactical route Kobe Bryant can be predicted in advance!

This directly cut off half of Jordan's triangle offensive tactics, leaving Jordan with only the option of back-to-back offense.

A 50% back-to-back jumper is very efficient, and very few players can play this efficiency from mid-range.

But this hit rate is not enough in front of Shaq's nearly 8 percent hit rate!

The closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score! This is the constant truth of basketball!

But at the same time, even after falling behind, the Bulls' locker room appeared very calm and did not panic in the slightest.

All the players were looking at the man in the number 23 jersey, who was taking a sip of a Gatorade.

Don't say it's just 7 points behind, even if it's 20 points behind, they believe this man will lead them to victory.

"Keep fighting like this, and we will win." Phil Jackson's expression was as flat as water, Jordan was the backbone of the players, and Phil was Jordan's pillar.

Phil's confidence was passed on to Michael Jordan, who nodded affirmatively.

Kobe Bryant's point was contained by him, and O'Neal, an interior player, the physical energy consumed by scoring is very large, don't think that the Bulls' interior defense is just a decoration, each of them is an excellent role player, even a Hall of Fame player.

The scoring explosiveness of interior players is always inferior to that of outside players, as strong as Olajuwon, O'Neal, the king of the league's interior line, and their state explosion can generally only score 40+ points.

O'Neal's current career-high is 53 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists, which he played against the Timberwolves in '94.

And Shaq's 40+ games are only about 5 games a season on average.

And Jordan, as long as he wants, he can cut 40+ in every game.

When an interior player scores a goal, he needs to go through four steps: positioning, receiving the ball, physical confrontation, and shooting.

And like Jordan, half of his scoring is not going to be a physical confrontation.

A giant's physical exertion and physical reserves are far inferior to those of outside players.

As long as he waits patiently, Jordan believes that the game will turn around soon.

After the break, players from both sides returned to the field.

Jordan spotted a player who was supposed to be on the bench showing up.

"The Lakers have changed formations!" Fore yelled, and in the third quarter, the Lakers pulled Campbell off at the power forward position and replaced him with Rob Horry.

"A shark has appeared! The Lakers' strongest offensive system! ”

"This system has begun to emerge in many games, is it the cunning preparation of Silver Fox Harris?"

"People often say that the cunning rabbit has three holes! It seems to me that there are more than three cunning foxes! ”

Del Harris smiled at Phil Jackson, and this is indeed a system that is very specific to the Bulls lineup.

The biggest flaw of the Bulls is the scoring ability of the starting interior players, neither Rodman nor Longley are scorers in their own position.

This gives Horry a chance to play! Don't worry about Horry being crushed at the power forward position by players who are far larger than him.

And the shark shooting system, the most worrying thing is that the big forward position will be blown up.

This system can maximize Shaq's interior containment, and at least in the third quarter, Shaq's physical strength is enough to support this strategy.

Section 3! The Lakers and Bulls went head-to-head!

O'Neal was at home in a shark system and didn't listen to the Bulls' basket.

The Bulls can't wrap up, as long as they wrap up the Lakers' outside shooters, they'll hit the basket relentlessly. A series of three-pointers combined with Shaq to play an offensive climax.

Kobe Bryant dominates the team's offensive movement, and when Jordan distracts attention from O'Neal, and when the Bulls focus their defense on the inside, Bryant will shoot from the outside.

At one point, the Lakers led the Bulls by more than 10 points in the third quarter.

By the second half of the third quarter, O'Neal's footsteps began to slow down, and the Bulls quickly launched a counterattack. The starters and substitutes mixed up and chased the score back to single digits.

And Harris replaced the panting O'Neal and prepared to let him play again in the fourth quarter.

Parish once again led the bench to dominate the interior after O'Neal went off.

The Celtics' legendary center makes up for the Bulls' interior offensive prowess.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers 76:71 Bulls.

The decisive moment is coming.
