After the dust settled on the game between the Spurs and the Lakers, the Lakers didn't have time to breathe and flew straight to the familiar place of Houston. They battled here in May and eventually qualified for the Western Conference Finals.

This year's Houston has not made any major personnel changes compared to last year, except for the addition of a backup ball-handler - alien Sam Kassel.

The backup guard, who was born in Houston and won two championships in Houston, is back in Houston.

If Sam Kassel plays as the core, he can also win the 20+5 star-level guard, and his arrival in the prime of life has given a fresh blood to the aging Houston lineup.

This is the equivalent of the big three in later generations, with a Crawford coming to the bench, and although the scoring methods are different, they are all offensive guards who can contribute extraordinary firepower on the bench.

In the case of the Big Three, the current Houston is still 4-2, which is inseparable from the attack power of aliens.

"In this game, I am optimistic that O'Neal will defeat Hakim and cut three of the four centers in a row to become the real No. 1 center!" The magician is on the milk.

"The Lakers' winning streak is coming to an end, and Houston will teach the Lakers' petty bourgeoisie a lesson." Big Dream's old teammate Ralph Sampson responds to the Magic.

That is, there is no social media now, if there is, Kobe Bryant can already imagine that the two of them are fighting endlessly as keyboard warriors in the Internet Mountain.

Before the game began, the battle of public opinion between the two sides began. In the eyes of most people, the strongest teams in the West this year, the Lakers and Houston are bound to be among them.

Unlike the Jazz, although the Jazz also have a big three, their ball-holding point happened to be eaten by Kobe.

Houston is different, they can have too many points to possess the ball, and they can't even push Barkley and Olajuwon. The Lakers' pressing didn't do much for them.

Both teams are very close on paper, with the Lakers in better shape, but Houston has home-court advantage.

"Shaq, I heard that you beat Ewing and David violently?" Big Dream ridiculed, the little fat man in front of him already has the momentum of the league's No. 1 center.

"yes, it was easy to win." O'Neal smiled, this season, he felt more and more his dominance, almost no one could stop him, the ability to turn the clouds and rain on the inside, made the big shark full of confidence.

Last season, O'Neal's mentality was still a little weak against the big dream Olajuwon, but now O'Neill shows a real king's domineering.

First center! Who else is me!

The game between the Lakers and Houston was a little anxious, and the two sides were deadlocked until the last minute to decide the winner.

In the first quarter, O'Neal stepped up and scored consecutive singles for Olajuwon.

After gaining weight, O'Neill's dominance has taken a leap. Last year he was very inefficient at playing Olajuwon alone, and now he can score almost easily.

Over in Houston, Barkley has a good hand. actually played three points on the periphery.

"I didn't expect that! This is a stunt that you have practiced hard in the summer! Barkley smirked, his killer weapon had been hidden for a long time. If he wants to win against the Lakers, he knows it's going to be too tough to play the way he used to.

And the three-point shot, which is being used by more and more people in the league, is a very good move. It can not only shoot easily, so that the aging body does not have to dig inside, but also create a very comfortable offensive space for Houston to pull out and shoot. After all, Drexler and Olajuwon both have to play inside.

Barkley's sudden three-pointer caught the Lakers off guard.

In the second quarter of the bench game, the Lakers' bench group, which played well in 6 consecutive games, finally fell into the iron in the last game of the three-game trip in Texas.

So under the leadership of the alien and AC Green, Houston bench scored consecutive points and occupied a big advantage.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed rarely.

Lakers 47:55 Houston.

In the third quarter, Bryant continued to feed O'Neal wildly.

In this game, Kobe Bryant knows how important it is to O'Neal.

In that case, I'll feed you!

The big shark turned over in front of the big dream, not only broke the big dream on the offensive end, but also made the big dream deflated with excellent physical confrontation and rare enthusiasm on the defensive end.

At the end of the third quarter, O'Neal scored 35 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal and 3 turnovers on 14-of-22 shooting.

Olajuwon was 1-of-7 from the field and finished with just four points, five rebounds, two assists and one block.

It's a blast! O'Neill shattered the big dream.

The Lakers also let the score close.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers 71:75 Houston.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant began to exert his strength.

Eat the defender in a row, and respond with the same three points.

scored 8 points in a row at the beginning and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

Barkley then tried to take over the game as well, but was stuck by the substitute Big Ben and couldn't hit a back-to-back attacking wave.

Then Kobe Bryant continued to feed O'Neal, and after O'Neal scored 45 points, he missed consecutive shots.

I can't beat it! I can't beat it!

As a heavy tank that shoots all on the inside, almost every score is to be stuck in the position first, then confronted, and then completed the shot, the battle between the big shark and the big dream came to an end in the fourth quarter.

O'Neal is exhausted, Kobe Bryant will come by himself!

Dry pull!

CIC dry pulling!

Three points of dry pulling!

Unreasonable projection!

One ball at a time, it hit the hearts of the Houston players.

"Damn, there's no way we can stop him?"

Drexler spread his hands, you can do it, I did my best.

Kobe Bryant scored 21 points in the final quarter and closed the game.

The Lakers won their seventh win of the season!

The Lakers fought with Houston 99-92 to the end and won the game on a comeback.

Bryant finished with 32 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers.

O'Neal finished with 45 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 5 turnovers.

Barkley had 31 points and 14 rebounds.

The glider had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

Big Dream scored 8 points and 7 rebounds.

Defeated, this time the Big Three combined scores are not OK high.

OK scored a total of 77 points! Almost 8% of the whole team!

"Little fat man, you can't stop it. I really can't stop you. Big Dream smiled wryly after the game, this was the first time in many years that he felt powerless.

"The throne of the first center is mine!"

"Nonsense! See you in the playoffs! Da Meng's mouth is unforgiving, but he clearly understands in his heart that the current O'Neill is the first center!

The Lakers started with 7 consecutive wins, and the 3 major centers O'Neal fought one by one and won them all. Except for the admiral, who can still fight O'Neill because he has Duncan by his side, Ewing and Big Dream are both defeated.

The invincible division of the Lakers, the record leads the league!
