Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Terrifying Lakers

Liu Hao never thought that he would force out the strongest Lakers.

Once they start playing team basketball, the role of the four superstar players together is not covered.

Although Malone and Payton are both old, they still have gas in the tank and can play a huge role when the team is functioning normally.

In the first half of the third quarter, a bench lineup composed of Alston, Haslem, Grant and Dazhi came on.

Facing the Lakers' equally strong bench, the two sides are fighting back and forth.

On the Lakers' side, Fisher played well and maintained the offensive strength of the Lakers' bench.

In this game, Dazhi hit three points again, and even the host of the national live broadcast was amazed by the accuracy of this center's three-point shot.

In this day and age, even guards don't use three-point shooting as a regular means of scoring, and it's natural for a center to do so to attract attention.

"Hahaha, Dazhi's three-point shot can achieve such an achievement in the NBA, that feeling is really good, but it's a pity that it's not a guard."

After listening to Zhang's words, Sun Zhengping recalled: "He was an omnipotent master in the CBA arena back then, and at that time, the Bayi team had no suspense to win the championship......"

Looking back, who dominated the CBA? I still look at Dazhi.

It didn't take long for the two sides to field up again in the starting lineups.

With Wade going to fight Kobe, Liu Hao can finally rest for a while.

It is worth mentioning that in an offensive and defensive transition in this quarter, Kobe Bryant singled Odom with his back, but just as he was about to shoot, Wade rushed out from the side.

Smack——!

Big hat Kobe!

After getting the ball, Wadega rushed forward with full speed, like a wild horse on the loose.

Bang Dang——!

can dunk and resolutely not go to the basket, this is the terrible explosiveness of Uncle Wei when his knees were still relatively healthy when he was young.

Why is it said to be healthier, because he had removed a pair of meniscus as early as his college days, so he was not even healthy.

Kobe Bryant was laughing after being hatted, and the Heat was really funny for the newcomers.

Next, Nag faced Wade and scored a turnover jumper, which was a response to the shot just now.

Looking back, Wade took advantage of Liu Hao's blocking butterfly to stumble into the Lakers' interior line.

Seeing that O'Neill's huge palm was about to arrive, Wade had an idea and smashed Chandler behind O'Neal.

Chandler's mood at that time, only he understood, was like finding a mouthful of water in the desert.

Roar!

With a roar, Chandler clasped his hands violently.

This is his personal first point of the day, and you can imagine how badly the interior line was suppressed by O'Neal.

In the past, Chandler, who had recovered a little, took off Malone's layup on the defensive end, and Liu Hao scored a three-point chase in the Heat's counterattack.

At this point, the score was tied at 73:73.

At this time, Kobe Bryant stepped up again.

In the next round, he immediately broke through the Heat's defense and scored a difficult step-back jumper.

O'Neal next to him looked at it and grinned, "This ball should be passed, not with your damn back." ”

"Listen, Kobe, take back your damn flinch and pass me the ball!"

Kobe Bryant shook his head, "I won't take it back, I can guarantee that the goal will be scored." ”

As he spoke, the Heat's attacks followed.

Several times the ball came to Butler's hands, and as one of the Heat's thighs today, Butler did not hesitate at all.

One step past Devin George, and then the air link Odom wreaked havoc on the Lakers basket.

So far, Butler has scored a team-high 20 points, plus six rebounds and four assists, all in just 11 shots.

The Lakers, who were wreaking havoc on the basket in turns, felt very unhappy, and O'Neal said that he would return the ball in a word.

His massive body made it difficult for Chandler to stand behind him, and Payton didn't look at the pass to O'Neal.

Chandler didn't even see O'Neill's movements before he saw a huge body turn and jump, and then make an explosion above his head.

Bang Dang——!

The "King of Fighters" quickly dodged away, otherwise he could only wait to be humiliated.

The Heat quickly responded with Wade making a rare mid-range shot, and it was still on Kobe's head.

It seems that he is also slowly letting go.

As a rookie, it's inevitable that you'll be a little nervous about playing against a superstar like Kobe Bryant for the first time, but that seems to have vanished with that previous block.

Of course, the rookies here can't include "openers" like Liu Hao.

Seeing that O'Neal is in full shape, the Lakers are naturally happy to pass the ball to him.

Of course, this is mainly because Kobe Bryant is not a ball handler.

Bang Dang——!

The big shark blocked Chandler twice in a row, and the latter's mentality was about to be shattered.

At this time, Riley also took the opportunity to call a timeout, and at this time it was necessary to target O'Neal.

How?

Naturally, it was impossible to find a player who could limit him, because that would almost nonexist.

Riley was referring to a foul on O'Neal and sending him to the free-throw line.

Based on O'Neal's half-percent free-throw percentage, the Heat can't afford to lose.

That's when Haslem and Gran come into play.

Beep!

Beep!

......

The whistles on the pitch became more frequent, followed by the sound of O'Neal's missed free throw.

Bang dang!

Bang Dang——!

......

The Heat took advantage of this opportunity to keep chasing points, leading the Lakers 87-83 at the end of the third quarter.

"Shaq, you should have nothing to say now, look at your charming free throw shooting percentage, or give me the ball." Kobe Bryant said to O'Neal with a serious face.

"You should pass the ball and give me your damn foul and your chain-dropping free throw!"

Bryant replied to O'Neal in the same tone.

It is said that this year, because of the Eagle County incident, the relationship between Kobe and O'Neal has fallen to a low point, and it only needs something to ignite this ***, then the result will be a break in the OK combination.

At this time, the Zen master began his teachings.

"You two don't fight, if the Heat still come to cut O'Neal in the last quarter, then you pass the ball out, if you don't cut it, then Shaq will give priority to attacking."

“......”

It's too difficult to convince the stubborn donkeys of Kobe and O'Neal, or the original Bulls dynasty is easy to manage, and Jordan can settle everything......

In the final quarter, both sides showed strong strength both defensively and offensively.

For the sake of victory, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant put aside their feud for the time being.

The two inside and outside the line to reproduce the domineering of the three-game championship period, when the fourth quarter went to 5 minutes, the Heat was overtaken by 8 points, and the Lakers showed their terrifying strength.

Kobe Bryant had even begun to bite his clothes, and Riley immediately asked for a timeout.

It would be dangerous for the Heat to continue like this.

At this time, the Heat's interior players, especially those responsible for defending the big sharks, were too tired, and even using the "shark cutting tactic" was still very physically demanding.

"Chandler, you'll keep an eye on O'Neill later, and Odom will help you out."

"Malone is not in good shape this time, and Odomdo is sandwiching Shaq."

"It's the same with the outside, more bags and Kobe, Payton's words pay attention to his defense, don't be careless." Saying that, he also glanced at Liu Hao.

Look again, Riley's eyes fell on Butler again.

"By the way, Butler felt good today and passed him more."

Butler was so excited that he almost cried when he heard this, and the coach finally noticed himself.

Since the team brought Liu Hao, Odom and Wade, Butler feels that his status is declining, and even his points per game average has changed from 15 last season to 13.

According to his requirements for himself, he has tried his best to break through the average of 20+ points per game this season, but since the decline in status, the ball possession has decreased, and it is difficult to get 20+.

"Okay, in the last 7 minutes, let's fight the Lakers!"
