The Lakers and Jazz, Bulls and Pistons, four legendary teams, are battling each other on the West Coast of the United States and the Windy City. And the situation on the field was not accurately predicted, Jerry Sloan actually used the shark slashing tactic, and Joe Dumas actually regained the strength of the quasi-superstar.

That's the charm of basketball, basketball has never been a sport where you put the lineups of both sides on the table, see who has the most stars, see who has the higher ability, and then decide the winner or loser. The most attractive thing about competitive sports is the uncertainty and the ability to defeat the strong. The tide of both games went in a direction that no one could have predicted.

"Shaq, get that damn free throw!" Campbell danced on the sidelines, and he watched O'Neal's free throws with a lot of hatred.

The Lakers played a normal three-round game, and the Jazz did not use foul play. Jerry Sloan's team seemed to have found some form, and his tactical movement began to flow smoothly and his hand gradually began to heat up. And at this time, Jazz once again stretched out the hand of the devil.

And Shaq also missed two free throws for face-saving treatment.

The Lakers fans were agitated, they got up from their seats, their heads in their hands in pain, and tears glinted in the corners of their eyes.

Could it be that 70 wins are going to be ruined by Shaq's lame free throw?

"I just didn't feel good today, I'll punish two more! Just two more penalties to find the feel! O'Neal looked at the Lakers starters who were also silent around them, these four are all top shooters, and it was a little uncomfortable for them to watch them miss free throws.

O'Neill couldn't help but start frantically making excuses.

I don't feel it.

The ball is so slippery.

No longer a state today.

Hungry and weak.

The ball is out of gas.

The shoelaces are scattered.

The lights are dazzling.

Every excuse made the faces of the Lakers' four starters darker by one point.

"Dead fat." At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers' starters sat on their own benches, and everyone felt a little unreal at this time. Jazz 31: 23 Lakers. O'Neal made 5 of 12 free throws, Malone scored 11 points to put Horry on his back for two fouls, and Kobe Bryant had 6 points and 3 assists, and he was still as usual, dominated by tandem in the first quarter.

Kobe Bryant cursed in his heart that the most disgusting thing about the shark slashing tactic is not to let the Lakers' offense become Shaq's free throws, it would be better if Shaq made free throws on every offense. The Jazz's starters will soon be in trouble with fouls. This tactic is disgusting, whenever the Lakers' tactical running is smooth, and the shooting finds an opportunity to find a touch, the Jazz immediately fouls to interrupt the Lakers' offensive rhythm, making people feel as if a sneeze is choking, and it is unspeakably uncomfortable.

The next time you run in an offensive position, you will think, damn it, you can't run yet, if you run out of the empty position, is the opponent going to foul Shaq too, isn't that running for nothing? In this way, the enthusiasm of the run and the decisiveness of the attack will be greatly reduced.

Kobe Bryant sat on the bench, his eyes kept glancing at Ben Wallace, who was warming up...

If...

I don't dare to think about it, if I think about it again, Kobe's mentality will explode.

"Coach, why don't you let me lead the second team?" Kobe Bryant thought about it, as if there was only one way to get back into the situation.

"There's no hurry." Harris still hopes that Kobe Bryant can save his fitness until the fourth quarter and close the game directly with a wave of power like the last game against the Jazz.

Kobe Bryant didn't say much, he felt that the coach's consideration was right. It's just a matter of whether the scene and the situation can last until the fourth quarter. Bryant was skeptical.

"Both the Lakers and Jazz have made personnel rotation adjustments, and the players on both sides have received a lot of fouls under the strict blowing penalties in this game. Before the end of the first quarter, Robert Horry was replaced by Harris on the court with two fouls, and on the Jazz side, Antoine Kyle and Greg Ostertag both had two fouls, and the substitute Brian Russell also had two fouls. They were the main combatants that Jerry Sloan used to cut the Sharks in this game, and they were all blue-collar ordinary role players, not to mention foul on their backs, even if six fouls were fouled, they would have very little impact on the overall offense and defense of the Jazz team. This is also the reason why Jerry Sloan brought Antoine Kyle to the starting lineup, and Antoine Kyle will definitely foul O'Neal more in the back. ”

"The Lakers are behind, and O'Neal's poor free-throw touch gives Jerry Sloan more confidence, and I'm sure this tactic will continue to be executed. Maybe Harris should try to let Kobe Bryant lead the team alone and play a dozen single-core modes? Theoretically, Kobe's single-core mode is also more efficient than O'Neal's free throw shooting. ”

"Theoretically, that's possible. But after all, O'Neill is Mr. 100 million yuan who was only signed this summer, and if he lets the absolute core of the team sit off the field, he will definitely be very dissatisfied. And it will also affect the future reinforcements, other stars must also have doubts when they see Harris using their own star like this, will they also be pressed on the bench when they come to the Lakers? "Malfoy makes a hypothesis.

"THE LAKERS DON'T NEED PUSSY LIKE THAT!" Abdul-Jabbar looked dismissive.

"Purple and gold jerseys aren't for everyone, and true Lakers stars have to deal with those pressures. The honor over the Great Western Forum Arena will put pressure on them, and if they can't even bear it, he's not a qualified Laker! The magician was also proud.

O'Neill is a little under pressure at the moment.

Damn, why the hell basketball just can't be put into the basket? It's just a free throw, damn it, the next free throw must be hit!

Kirtlambis was the first to comfort: "Shaq, calm down. Go to the free throws normally, you can! ”

O'Neill pretended to be calm: "Of course I can, just wait, I'll make them pay later." ”

Only Kobe Bryant could see O'Neal's strong outside and middle strength. Bryant knew O'Neal's free throws were bad for a reason. There was no way he could press his wrist down, although the shark was not very diligent, and his skills were not as good as those of Big Dream. But the pace, the feel of the close-to-basket, the passing and the dribbling are soft and rounded, and they are countless times stronger than other hard-nosed centers.

All his problems, is range. Couldn't shoot accurately from outside the box, and there was a problem with the free throw. The root of it all is his wrist.

"Okay, okay. I recruited. Looking at his teammates with suspicion, O'Neal told the truth with a bitter face.

"I can't hold my wrists."

"Can't press your wrist? Why? ”

"I broke my wrist when I was a kid in Germany and I fell off a tree. You see. O'Neill raised his right hand and moved it back and forth, his wrist could only be folded a little, as if he were wearing an invisible protective gear, and his wrist was always a little to the right. It's not that he didn't practice free throws and shooting, but there was no way to press his wrist, which caused his shot arc to be too flat, and there was no parabola at all.

"Well, there are a lot of things that can't be explained now, and there is probably a reason...
