In the second quarter, Shaq completely opened his offensive warehouse, and released the terrible energy in his body through various violent dunks, Shaq's dunk actually doesn't jump particularly high many times, although his bounce power is very terrifying among interior players, but because he is too heavy, he doesn't jump too high to dunk more often, because even if his physical fitness allows him to do so, his knees will become very fragile because of too many jumps.

On the other hand, many of Shaq's dunks are dunked in the case of the opponent's defense, in fact, even if the opponent has two or three people on the inside, it may not really be able to completely squeeze him to death, if there is no room for shooting or jumping, Shaq will also use his huge size and flexible feet to squeeze out a shot space under the opponent's bag.

It's just that the Warriors' large-scale package of Shaq still has an effect to a certain extent, that is, it makes Shaq's physical fitness decline rapidly, and when Shaq is in a state of overexcitement, it will also cause him to forget to arrange his physical fitness reasonably.

Fitness has always been a constraint that restricts Shaq to the next level, free throws and fitness are Shaq's Achilles heel, and many times he can even score nearly 30 points in the first half very easily, and in the second half the power will suddenly drop.

Today, because he played very little time in the first quarter, he retained enough physical strength and used it to play a strong enough dominance that the Warriors' interior looked shaky under the destruction of Shaq throughout the second quarter.

However, as Shaq's offensive possession became too much, the corresponding Lakers' outside shots became very limited, which also led to the Warriors' continuous shrinkage of defense, from the initial single defense Shaq to two or three people receiving the ball, and then to the final almost five-man encirclement of Shaq.

Although Shaq is naturally supernatural and can successfully score several balls in almost five people's encirclement, this style of play on the one hand overdraws Shaq's physical strength in advance, and on the other hand, it also completely severs the connection between the Lakers' inside and outside lines.

In fact, this problem is very obvious in the Lakers this season, and we will fall into such a dilemma in almost every game, and it seems that the Lakers' inside and outside are difficult to truly unify.

There were a few games where Shaq and I were able to play a bit of a game in a short period of time because we both had very strong individual singles ability, so it was difficult for the opposing players to choose who to pack.

But this situation is not so simple every time, in the actual process of the game, Shaq and I are very likely to hit the head, so as to ignore the other party's feelings, whether Shaq kills the red eye or I kill the red eye, there will be no cooperation at all, this feeling of killing madness is difficult to describe, but it is so addictive, people can't stop.

However, in the second quarter, the Warriors' shooting touch was not able to fully continue the good form of the first quarter, so even when Shaq was always on the court, they were able to easily find the open spot on the outside, but their success rate of seizing opportunities was greatly reduced, which even made Shaq a little proud, because he only needed to give up defending the opponent's outside and wait for the inside to easily collect rebounds.

Because of this, in the first six minutes of the second quarter, the Lakers relied on Shaq's excellent play and the Warriors' shooting percentage to lead the score from a few points to a five-point lead.

As the Warriors coach called a timeout, Shaq excitedly walked down the court, casting contemptuous glances at the surrounding home fans from time to time.

I shook my head, not knowing when this guy would be able to stop looking so naïve, and sure enough, when Shaq's expression appeared on the big screen in the center of the stadium, the home fans then let out a violent boo.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris was still quite satisfied with Shaq's performance in the second quarter, but he probably didn't want to see Shaq more arrogant, so he didn't praise Shaq's performance too much, he just slightly mentioned that the connection between the inside and outside should be strengthened.

However, his words will basically become empty words again, because this has happened many times, and the result is basically the same every time, and the Lakers players always like to play with their own on-court feeling, and the coach's words become dispensable.

But maybe it's because our Lakers lineup really has this kind of arrogant capital, although most of the time we have very poor tactical execution on the court, in the end, we can solve problems through the individual ability of the stars.

I have to admit that basketball is a sport that can be turned around by a single star's individual performance, which is why it's so important to have one or even a few superstars on a team.

However, I also have a vague concern about this, can our Lakers team, despite its talent and individual ability, really be able to walk away against a strong team that also has superstars and can accurately execute coaching tactics?

After all, our ultimate goal should be a championship ring, and in order to achieve this goal, it is inevitable to compete with strong teams such as the Jazz in the West and the Bulls in the East, and they not only have superstars, but also have a complete team tactical system, which can make superstars become the engine of the team, drive more players to exert enough energy, and make the whole team an invincible whole.

Of course, we've only just gotten together, especially since Shaq and I are both in our first year with the Lakers, and the regular season has only been around for a short time, so we still have plenty of time to make changes.

After the timeout, the Warriors have made a bold change to the lineup, once again completely abandoning the interior and sending a super small lineup of two guards and three forwards.

With such a bold lineup arrangement on the playing field in this era, I really doubt that the opposing head coach is also from the future, of course, this is just a joke, but there are only two results with this tactic, either we will be completely blown up, or we will be blown up on the inside.

Offense is the best defense, and that's a true adage within the Warriors' system.

Shaq still stayed inside and waited for the rebounds to fall into his hands, and he had already won 5 defensive rebounds so easily in the first half of the quarter before that, he probably felt that the rebounds could easily get double-doubles in the next quarter, which was simply not too comfortable.

However, Shaq will surely be annoyed by this thought in the next few minutes, because he didn't get a rebound, or even a rebound, in the five open shots he let go.

Because of the Warriors' five shots, three three-pointers and two mid-range shots were hollow shots, and the Warriors after the timeout and the performance before the timeout were like two teams, and the situation between the two sides on the court was reversed instantly, and the Lakers were beaten 15-5 by the Warriors in less than three minutes.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris called a timeout with a black face, this time he couldn't help but start criticizing Shaq, and his tone was quite unpolite, although Shaq was still a little unconvinced on his face, but he just lowered his head and listened silently, after all, he also knew that he had become the biggest defensive hole in the entire Lakers team.

If he still insists on not being willing to defend, then the entire Lakers' defensive system will almost collapse, no matter how terrifying Shaq has in the opponent's interior, but after all, his shooting rate cannot reach 100 percent, even if his shooting rate is really that high, but the opponent can get three points for an empty three-pointer, and he can only score two points for a dunk that is much more tired than the opponent, no matter how you look at it, it will be a great loss.

In the last three minutes of the second quarter, Harris pressed Shaq directly to the bench and sent out our Lakers' five-man lineup as he did in the first quarter, so I got another chance to play.

However, I feel that this adjustment of the Silver Fox Harris is still a little late, and there are several super shooters on the other side, once they find the shooting feeling on the outside, it is not so easy to say that they want to forcibly suppress it.

When I came on the pitch, I could feel the confidence in the eyes of the opposing players, as if they were all possessed by Kuritian and could score any goal from any position.

In fact, there is a very important hidden attribute of basketball games, that is, the momentum of the court, once a team completely overwhelms the opponent in momentum, even if their strength is not as good as the opponent, it is very likely to be able to suppress the opponent.

As the Warriors become more confident, it's clear that their movement has become more aggressive, their passing speed has increased, and their running and defensive intensity have increased.

On the other hand, because of the frustration of our Lakers' momentum, they will become slow and hesitant to play the ball, overlapping and inefficient running, lack of enough trust and tacit understanding between each other, and can only rely more on their own personal ability and individual singles, and cannot form the overall state of a team.

I can't do anything about it, I can only choose to silently take the team's offensive and defensive responsibilities on my shoulders, and in fact this is the only thing I can do now, which is to believe in myself and completely liberate my personal ability.

First of all, on the defensive end, I started to use my speed and physical advantage to press and defend the opposing players like a dogskin plaster, not only to defend his shots, but most importantly to make it difficult for him to easily receive passes from teammates.

In fact, the best way to defend an off-ball pitcher is not to block him, but to try to cut off the connection between him and his teammates, if a pitcher can barely catch the ball how can he shoot, as long as the opponent's offensive opportunities go to those relatively less accurate points, then your entire defensive strategy is considered successful.

God's left-hander Chris Mullin, who was opposite me, obviously didn't expect me to be so desperate on the defensive end, and I was only a child in the first quarter, after all, I also considered that he was older and didn't want to defend him so cruelly.

Now I can't care so much about being able to win the game, he even starts to have a trace of fear in the eyes of me, which is exactly what I want, the best way to defeat the opponent is to defeat him psychologically, to make him afraid, to make him afraid to face your eyes, so that he does not dare to attack under your defense.

In fact, even if he is a few years younger, there is no way, because Kobe's 18-year-old physical fitness is too good, and I don't have much playing time, so I can press a player on the opposing side in a short period of time with a very physically exhausting defense, this kind of defense is extremely physically demanding, in fact, defense is more physically demanding than offense most of the time, because you need to judge the offensive team's route in advance, and make more efforts for it.

At first, Chris Mullin would call his teammates to block and pick up, and the Warriors had used very skillful multiple pick-and-rolls and elevator door tactics very well, but I relied on my rapid reaction speed and superhuman concentration, and I was able to find a small gap before the Warriors finished blocking and dismantling, so that I would keep up with Chris Mullin.

Chris Mullin couldn't find an open opportunity to shoot, and hurriedly made a few forced shots, but after all, he was old, and he consumed a lot of physical energy in order to get rid of my defense, and in the end he couldn't get rid of my close defense, so in the end he could only shoot in a very difficult way, plus he himself is not the kind of player who is good at difficult shots, so these shots did not hit, but let us get some better opportunities for defensive counterattacks.

On the offensive end, I also played my personal containment to the extreme, of course, in fact, my shooting touch in this game was not particularly high, but it was enough, because my personal attack was very resolute, and no matter how strong the opponent's defense was against me, I was basically able to complete the shot, and what could affect my shooting percentage was more my hand, not the opponent's defense.

During this period of time, my shooting training can be regarded as the initial results, especially in the anti-interference shooting, which can be said to be obvious improvement, which may be due to Kobe's talent, I just did some special training according to my own understanding, and I can feel this visible growth.

It is precisely because Kobe's body is only eighteen years old now, the whole technical movement is not finalized, and the space for developing potential is very huge, so I should find some better teachers and invest more energy in training, so that my personal ability can be improved as soon as possible.

Actually, I don't want to wait until the third season to be a regular like Kobe, and I think if I work in the right direction and hard enough, I might be able to get a chance to be a regular in the second half of the season.

After the end of the third quarter, the Lakers once again overtook the score by one point, but this difference clearly shows a problem, that is, this game may be difficult for both sides to easily defeat the opponent, and the resilience and integrity of the whole Warriors team still I admire very much.

They have veterans and recruits in the team, and being able to unite and play such a performance is actually very worthy of learning from our Lakers players, especially the guys led by some fat people.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Shaq and I once again got the opportunity to play at the same time, but this time it seems that the relationship between me and Shaq has once again entered a relatively cold state, and we don't have much to say on and off the court, in fact, as I have been getting better and better during this time, Shaq's attitude towards me has also undergone some subtle changes, and I don't know exactly what this change is, but this guy doesn't seem to call me a rookie anymore, But it doesn't seem like to joke with me as much as I used to do at the beginning.

But I think it's a good thing, because I don't really like Shaq's cynicism about everything, I don't care how much boring stuff he does off the court, I just want to give it his all when he's on the court and don't act like a big boy who has just entered puberty.

But even though there is nothing between me and Shaq, once we get to the court, the natural complementarity between me and him still shows, in fact, we can all feel that our game will become a little easier when the other party is on the court, although Shaq has always been very conceited, but under normal circumstances, his physical fitness in the fourth quarter will have some problems, so at this time I can use relatively good physical reserves to take over the game for a period of time, so that the opponent's defensive center of gravity comes to me, Thus I he won some necessary rest.

I started to work hard in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors started to play a wheel defense against me from the outside, and I switched to a different defense if I couldn't defend it, but no matter how many players they changed to defend me, I always found a way to put the ball in the basket.

Shaq got more inside space because of my good performance, and when I was on one side of the court with the ball and my back to attack, the opponent's entire defense would lean towards my side, and Shaq would use his speed and height to go straight inside after a high block.

And I was able to hoist the ball very easily to Shaq who cut inside, and he was also able to complete the empty dunk very easily, and his athleticism was really terrifying, several of the balls I passed were obviously a little too high, and I couldn't tell how high the ball was, at least 3.6 meters or even 3.7 meters high.

But Shaq jumped so lightly, and pressed the ball into the basket so hard, I saw that after Shaq jumped, the top of his head seemed to have exceeded the basket a small section, it is hard to imagine how a giant monster with a height of 2.16 meters and a weight of nearly 300 pounds can jump so high, and his take-off does not even have much to run, the whole process is smooth and fast, so that the defenders can not parry at all.

The Warriors obviously saw that I was working well with Shaq, but they couldn't find a better way for a while, and finally chose to play a one-on-one defense against us, which means that they didn't play a multi-player game against us under any circumstances.

This did cut off the easy cooperation between me and Shaq to a certain extent, but this is also the situation of choosing one of the two bottles of poison, even if they cut off the connection between me and Shaq, but can they really use their personal ability to prevent either between me and Shaq?

The answer is obvious.
