The score of the two sides was tied at 29 and entered the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Zhizhi hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, and then hit Medvedenko under the basket to cause a foul and hit two free throws.

It directly brought the score to 34:29

The Lakers' offense was not good, and head coach Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout and began to adjust the lineup, replacing Medvidenko with Horace Grant, who he brought out single-handedly.

Horace Grant, nicknamed Cobra, 38 years old, was a key member of Phil Jackson's first three-game winning streak with the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Bulls' No. 3 breakup, forming Zen Master Phil Jackson's triangular offensive system with Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen.

Also replaced were Kobe Bryant and Payton, who had been on the court for too long and needed time to rest.

The SuperSonics also made personnel adjustments, replacing Lu Fei, Wang Zhizhi, Battier, and Oku, and replacing Barry, Collisson, Dior, and Evans.

Wang Zhizhi walked back to the bench, and his teammates sitting on the bench stepped forward to high-five him, and some even handed over towels.

These were his main jobs before.

He knew that he could have such a performance on the field, thanks to Lu Fei, when he looked at Lu Fei, he found that Lu Fei's eyes had been staring at the court.

The televised camera was also focused on the two of them.

Zhang Weiping said: "Wang Zhizhi played very well during this time, played with confidence, and finished every ball very decisively, in the supersonic team, Dazhi found his own position." ”

"There is a saying in China that the tree moves the dead and the person lives, and Wang Zhizhi can be regarded as fulfilling this old saying." Yu Jia said with a smile: "But this also shows that Mike Milan, the coach of the SuperSonics, knows how to put the right players for the opponent's defense...... It's just a little strange why he didn't send Wang Zhizhi at the beginning......"

"It may be because Wang Zhizhi didn't practice with his teammates, so he didn't dare to let him play." Zhang Weiping analyzed.

As they analyzed, the game on the field also fell into anxiety.

The Lakers played methodically under Fisher's organization, and although Grant was older, he had more experience on the court, scoring the ball a few times when Collisson's defense was not in place.

The SuperSonics are young and impactful, and apart from Brent Barry, the oldest on the court is 23-year-old Reggie Evans.

Lu Fei sat on the sidelines and watched with interest as Fisher and Barry got entangled.

The same organizational defender, but with a different fate.

Lu Fei's mind was not thinking about the fate of their careers, but ...... Fisher slept with teammate Barnes' wife, while Barry's wife slept with his later teammate Parker.

When he played the Spurs in the preseason, Lu Fei didn't remember this stubble, but when he saw Fisher today, his memories came flooding up.

Parker is a very good person, but he can't control his lower body.

He has always called Barry his brother and Barry's wife his sister-in-law.

Who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year?

Fisher finally shook off Barry's defense, caught the ball and made a three-pointer to lead the Lakers' bench to take the lead with three minutes left in the second quarter.

At 50:51, the Lakers led by one point.

In the end, it is better to eat dumplings.

McMillan immediately called a timeout, he glanced at the bench opposite, at this time Grant's physical strength must not be able to keep up, after all, he is 38 years old, let him play a consecutive game he will definitely not be able to bear.

He replaced Ray Allen, Lu Fei and Wang Zhizhi, because Dio played well during this time, so he did not choose to replace Dio, and the center left on the field was Reggie Evans.

Lu Fei frowned and walked onto the court.

He looked in the direction of the Lakers players with a little concern, and sure enough, Kobe Bryant walked up over there.

Phil Jackson is betting that the supersonic speed can't stop O'Neal, and betting that Kobe Bryant will definitely be able to play offense.

"The two sides changed their main players to fight for the last three minutes of the first half, and the reason why the SuperSonics kept Dior I think it may be to reduce Lu Fei's organizational pressure and let Lu Fei free up the attack, but Dior will definitely not be able to defend Kobe, it is likely to let Ray Allen defend." Yu Jia analyzed: "But the center left on the supersonic field is Reggie Evans, what is the reason for this? Zhang instructs you to help the big guy analyze it. ”

Zhang Weiping thought for a while and said: "Well, what about this, I think it's likely that McMillan wants to fight against the Zen master, Evans may have a hard time defending O'Neal, but you think about it from another angle, who is not having a hard time defending O'Neal, what is Evans doing on the court, grab rebounds!" ”

"Grab a rebound?"

"Yes, Evans has a strong ability to grab rebounds, he took the rebounds and handed them to Lu Fei as soon as possible, and played defensive counterattacks...... You see, Payton missed the shot, the rebound was picked up by Evans, Lu Fei didn't stop the ball, and just after halftime, he directly found Ray Allen in the bottom corner, and Ray Allen made a three-point shot...... The score was turned over by the supersonic. ”

Sure enough, as Zhang Weiping guessed, the purpose of McMillan's layout of this lineup is to play defensive counterattacks.

But the biggest flaw in this squad is the defense.

Ray Allen can't stop Kobe!

Kobe Bryant made a stop-and-go jump shot after three threats, and the basketball went straight to the basket without any suspense.

"Hey, this ball is amazing, that's personal ability." Zhang Weiping exclaimed.

Lu Fei dribbled the ball past the half, Dio received the ball in a high position, and Lu Fei took advantage of Wang Zhizhi's cover to go straight to the basket and threw the ball in before O'Neal arrived.

Dior's role on the field is to unleash Lu Fei's offensive talent.

Payton hit a three-pointer and hit it, and he finally let out a long sigh of relief, which was the first shot he made against Lu Fei's defense.

I don't know if it's really because of his age, he feels that this year's competitive state has declined very much.

55:56

The SuperSonics trailed by one point and were the last attack of the first half.

Peyton didn't dare to be careless, bent over and stared at Lu Fei who was dribbling in front of him, he didn't know why, he hated Lu Fei's indifferent appearance, as if he had never taken him seriously.

Lu Fei, who dribbled, kept observing the position of his teammates, while constantly avoiding the steals in Payton's hands, Payton's nickname is the glove, "glove" is to describe Payton's tight defense, very pressing, like a glove to cover the offensive player's ball.

Despite his age, his defensive level is still on the line.

Wang Zhizhi ran out from the inside and made a block with Lu Fei, who threw off Payton's defense and rushed in from the right side.

O'Neill immediately made up for it.

Lu Fei sighed, if it was Oku who was on the field at this time, O'Neill would never dare to pounce so reassuringly.

At this time, Wang Zhizhi was watched by Payton and Medvidenko in the high position, and it was impossible to be assigned to the outside line.

Lu Fei could only stop with a sudden brake.

This stop allowed Kobe to seize the opportunity, and Kobe rushed over from the side, looking like he was about to form a flank with O'Neal.

In front of the two of them, any tactics and feints seemed to be useless.

Kobe Bryant is coming, but Lu Fei can't find the passing route to pass to Ray Allen, what else can he do with this ball?

At this moment, a green figure cut to the free throw line from a 45-degree angle on the other side.

Lu Fei smiled, Brother Dio still understands me.

"Smack."

A ground-hitting pass, Dio catches the ball at the free-throw line, and before Devin George, who defends him, comes to his senses, Dio has already made an easy shot.

57:56

At the end of the half, the supersonic speed overtook again, but Lu Fei knew that the game would become more and more difficult to play, because the coach on the opposite side was a Zen master.
