Chapter 154: You're All Cowards (Heavenly Dragon Alliance Plus 9)
The timeout is over and the players from both sides are back on the pitch!
Lakers head coach Del Harris was a little surprised, originally he thought that Richard called this timeout to replace O'Neal Jr. with Sabonis Sr......
After all, such an inside duel, young O'Neal really can't play a big role!
But apparently Richard's idea was beyond Harris's expectations......
……
It's the Lakers' offensive round again!
This time, O'Neal Jr. remembered Richard's instructions, O'Neal began to hit Big Ben with his back near the free throw line, O'Neal Jr. wanted to step forward to pull the ball, but O'Neal turned around directly, and he was about to rush to the basket with a step!
Xiao Ao directly hugged O'Neal's arm holding the ball with both arms......
The referee's whistle also arrived immediately!
Cutting shark tactics also pay attention to timing and skill, if you cut too early, it will make a game need too many fouls, and it may be cut to the end, and there are not enough players......
And if you cut it too late, you may be beaten 2+1 by a player like O'Neal, which will be even more worth the loss!
Therefore, the timing of O'Neal's current shark cut is very appropriate, before O'Neal makes a move, hold O'Neal's arm and don't give him a chance to play 2+1!
"Doot toot!" The referee sent O'Neal to the free throw line.
"Young man, is this what your coach did to me? Send me to the free throw line? O'Neill sneered and looked at Ao.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
The Sharks, who made more than 40% free throws last season and this season, hit both free throws!
Richard was stunned on the sidelines, is his luck so bad?!
The Shark hit both free throws, which is basically the same probability as the backcourt player hitting the fairy ball, or maybe even less!
I didn't expect to be bumped into by myself like this.
O'Neill Jr. looked at Richard on the sidelines, and Richard nodded at O'Neill Jr. and motioned to continue chopping.
In this situation, the Trailblazers can only pin their hopes on shark slashing tactics!
If the shark slashing tactic fails, then if their Trail Blazers want to win, unless the outside three-point explosion and all kinds of surges.
……
For the next few minutes, Del Harris was dumbfounded, the Trail Blazers were slashing sharks?!
The shark slashing tactic is not unusual, but it is unusual to use it in the regular season......
And no one has ever used a shark slasher in the first quarter! (Later Popovich used it in the first quarter)
With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, O'Neal Jr. got his fourth foul!
And O'Neal also got his eighth free throw!
The first two free throws were both made.
In the next four free throws, he hit two!
On the seventh and eighth free throws, O'Neal, who was a little annoyed, missed two free throws in a row!
"You're cowards!"
"Coward!"
"Only a coward would use this kind of indiscriminate trick......"
O'Neal's offensive rhythm was destroyed, and the whole person was angry, O'Neal's offensive rhythm was quite good, and the shooting rate was extremely exaggerated, basically if he had the ball in his hand, he could cause huge damage to the Trail Blazers' penalty area!
However, the shark-cutting tactics prevented him from playing that hearty rhythm.
Whenever he was ready to wreak havoc under the basket, he was immediately sent to the free throw line by O'Neal Jr., and his game "experience" was extremely bad!
If he is a backcourt player like Iverson and Kobe, then he will be free to go to the free throw line, and he will score anyway......
The point is that he doesn't like to shoot free throws, and every time he walks to the free throw line is an ordeal.
……
Many Trailblazers fans at the scene sent warm boos in a timely manner after seeing O'Neal miss two free throws, which made O'Neal even more angry.
looked straight at Richard on the sidelines.
Being stared at by this giant beast, Richard only had a faint smile on his face......
……
Richard called a timeout, and O'Neal Jr. had already committed four fouls in his hand, so he must have to be replaced first.
In the nine minutes that Big Ben appeared on the court, the physical consumption was extremely huge, and almost every time he faced off against O'Neal's basket, he did his best!
When Big Ben got off the field, rubbing his arms, it was obviously not very comfortable.
"Jermaine, Ben, Rashid, you three get out of the game!"
Replaced the inside duo with Sabonis, Bruce Bowen, and Gary Trent.
Kobe Bryant and Robinson had a break of more than two minutes in the first quarter, so they could fight again.
As for Harris, he originally planned to let the Sharks rest, after all, the Sharks had played for nine minutes in the first quarter, which was really a lot......
However, looking at Richard's side, it seems that there has been a change in personnel on the field, so he didn't say a word, and let the shark continue to appear!
In the first three minutes, the Lakers laid a big advantage!
But this advantage was eroded by the Trailblazers step by step in the next six minutes, resulting in the last three points left by the two sides when the time was just suspended!
Harris wants to take advantage of this point in time to grab points and create a bigger point advantage!
But after the shark came on the court, the situation made Harris feel the urge to scold his mother......
As soon as he appeared, the shark still adhered to the style of play just now, wanting to hold the ball and force the Trail Blazers inside, but he forgot that the player who defends him now is not Big Ben, but the legendary Sabonis!
O'Neal was ready to go to Sabonis like a single Ben, but he was empty, and then Sabonis bent sideways and pulled out the ball in O'Neal's hand!
Then Kobe Bryant rushed to the front court, and the basketball in Sabonis's hand seemed to be equipped with a guidance system, so that Kobe Bryant, who rushed to the opponent's penalty area, could easily receive it!
"Boom!" Kobe Bryant made a 180-degree turn and dunk, ending this offensive round!
……
Eat a trench and grow wise, a superstar of O'Neal's rank is naturally unlikely to make the same mistake!
But when he was on the ball again and was able to squeeze Sabonis ready to score......
Trent, who is on the outside of the Trail Blazers, has already abandoned his opposing player, followed Xiao Ao, and sent O'Neal to the free throw line!
It's 1-of-2 from the free-throw line again!
……
"Shit!"
"You cowards! Can you play well? ”
"It's not good to go around the front defense, and you have to use this kind of indiscriminate trick!"
O'Neill was completely blown up......
The Trailblazers have already made it clear that they are going to lock him O'Neal, and almost all the tricks used to lock the center are all used on O'Neal!
In this first quarter of the game, O'Neal actually scored a lot of points, and now he has scored 13 points in a single quarter!
He shot 4-of-6 from the field and 5-of-10 from the free-throw line......
It seems that the offense is very efficient, but O'Neal is just uncomfortable and aggrieved.
This kind of game of 10 free throws in a single quarter made O'Neill feel like he was having a nightmare!
