As Shaq and I came to the court, we quickly took the initiative, but the Raptors were also very tenacious, and every time we overtook the score, they would often have someone else shooting a very difficult goal in the next few rounds, and the score would be reversed again.

In fact, the two core flying squirrels on the opposing field, Stoudemire and Marcus. Camby was also limited by me and Shaq, and neither of them scored for a long time.

However, the rest of their teammates stepped up at the right time at this time, especially the two strikers who came off the bench have quite strong interior impact ability, and when they found that their outside touch declined, they began to constantly cause damage by impacting the inside.

Shaq got two fouls in just one minute, which annoyed him so much that he yelled at one of the female referees in a very uncontrollable mood, and a few of my teammates and I tried to go up and grab him and tell him to stop complaining, and be careful that another technical foul would not be drawn.

However, where can we hold Shaq, instead of reining in, this guy is talking louder and louder, and the female referee did not grow up as a vegetarian, and quickly gave Shaq a technical foul, so that Shaq, who had not finished the first quarter, had already received three fouls, and he roared as he walked to the bench.

I shook my head, although the referee's blows were a little controversial, but at this time, there is obviously no good fruit to eat from the referee, now that Shaq is down, it seems that there may not be much playing time in the second quarter, and three fouls on his back will make it difficult for him to play his due deterrent on the defensive end even in the third quarter.

However, the game is still going on, and the substitute center forward is too much weaker than Shak, even if his attitude is much better than Shak, but he can not help the team much on the field.

On the offensive end, he's hard to provide quality pick-and-rolls, and he's poor at pick-and-roll awareness, and even if I can get the ball to the center who cuts inside, it's a shame to end up facing Camby's interior defense.

In this case, I had to turn on the individual scoring mode, after all, the player opposite me was relatively short, and neither the flying squirrel nor their shooting guard could put enough pressure on me in a one-on-one situation.

After I led a 10-4 mini-offensive surge, the other side called another 20-second timeout.

Immediately after the timeout, they changed their defensive strategy against me, and changed to their forward players to defend me, and once I had the ball, they would delay and pack as soon as I had the ball, I really didn't expect them to use this tactic against me in the first quarter, it seems that without a strong point on the inside, I have to face a lot more defensive pressure.

In the first few balls, I still wanted to try to directly tear apart the opponent's defensive formation through my personal ability, but it was obvious that at this time I didn't have the ability to tear apart the opponent's strong forward defensive group alone, and the final result was either that I didn't shoot at the end of 24 seconds, or I didn't have a good offensive opportunity in the end.

At this time, I also had a little bit of an upstart, the more I couldn't complete the offense, the more reluctant I was to pass the ball, and I rushed to the opponent's inside line with the ball, hoping to get a few free throws from the referee to alleviate the scoring drought.

However, in the face of a very obvious defensive foul, the referee not only did not blow the penalty in time, but even blew me an offensive foul, which also caused my temper to come up, and I began to say a few words to the female referee who was very aimed at us.

I didn't expect the female referee's reaction to be so violent this time, just now Shaq chased her for more than ten seconds before eating a technical foul, and I just ate a technical foul within two sentences, and the first quarter ended in a very depressed mood.

For most of the second quarter, Shaq and I were firmly on the bench, and Shaq and I were quite unhappy with the coach's decision, but no matter what we told him, it didn't work out in the end.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed by 10 points, 45-55, and Shaq only got 13 minutes of playing time in total, and I had less than 10 minutes of playing time.

At halftime, Shaq didn't say a word uncharacteristically, I know that the more this guy is like this, the more likely this guy is to explode in the second half, which means that this guy is holding his breath in his stomach.

The coach was actually very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty in the first half, so he also opened his mouth a little to comfort Shaq, but it was obvious that Shaq did not accept this and still showed a very dissatisfied look, and I was very much looking forward to his performance in the second half.

However, when the second half really started, Shaq's counterattack plan did not unfold so easily, because the opposite side seemed to anticipate Shaq's possible outbreak in the second half, and focused on taking care of Shaq from the beginning of the second half.

As a result, Shaq scored as many as 12 free throws in the first 5 minutes of the third quarter, but I don't know what Shaq was thinking about, he only scored 4 of them, and the more inaccurate his free throws were, the more aggressive the opponent fouled him, and the more impatient he became, the more inaccurate his free throws became.

In desperation, the coach had no choice but to call another timeout, and the most important thing about this timeout was to get Shaq back in shape, but it was clear that this was unlikely to happen in a short period of time.

This time the coach once again believed in the cooperation between me and Shaq, and once again let me play with Shaq after the timeout, to be honest, I also held a bad breath in my heart after the first half, and wanted to clean up these guys on the other side, especially when the referee blew out the two technical fouls, the tsunami of the audience stimulated the nerves of me and Shaq fiercely, and the home fans here booed the away team very hard.

When I was on the court with Shaq, it was going to be harder for the other side to successfully implement our trapping tactics, and because they had fouled Shaq too much before, the team had already reached the point of fouling and making free throws, so they didn't dare to be as aggressive with my ball-breaking defense as they were in the first quarter.

Obviously, they were still brutal defensively, but to my surprise, the referee's penalty was clearly tilted in our favor in the second half, and I was soon able to get three free throw lines in a row and hit all six of them.

And the number of fouls by their starters also began to increase at this time, and finally when Shaq attacked on the inside, he would not be so horrible fouled.

Then Shaq also seemed to gradually find dominance over the basket, and the opponent's strong defender Marcus Murphy also seemed to find dominance over the basket. Camby was already a little physically exhausted at this time, after all, his weight was a little worse than Shaq's, and after resisting Shaq for a long time, he couldn't carry it anymore.

Of course, Shak's side is actually not so easy, although Shak's strength and explosiveness are very terrifying, but after all, his weight is there, and the offense and defense back and forth throughout the court are also rapidly consuming his physical reserves.

So our offensive momentum has slowed down quickly, but the gap between us and the Raptors has narrowed to within five points, which is the point where we can recover from two rounds of offense and defense.

The opponent called a timeout to set up the subsequent tactics, while also replacing players who had committed too many fouls and lacked physical strength.

Our coach originally planned to replace Shaq, who had consumed too much physical strength, to rest, but Shaq obviously didn't want to rest, he was bent on tearing up the opponent's inside, even if the coach had the final rotation decision, but at this time he didn't dare to be tough with a superstar like Shaq.

Then Shaq, who came on the court again, really lost his previous dominance, and even the opponent's offensive success rate became much lower without the need to wrap up, and his speed slowed down greatly in the process of returning to the defense, which also allowed the opponent to seize more opportunities to defend and counterattack, and the difference between the two sides soon went to more than 10 points.

But the third quarter was over quickly, and we went into the fourth quarter with a nine-point deficit, and Shaq and I won't be on the court for the first few minutes of the fourth quarter.

I just hope that the rest of my teammates can work a little bit harder, even if they don't push the margin any closer, and don't let the margin go towards 15 or even 20 points, if that is the case, Shaq and I probably won't have to come up again for the whole fourth quarter.
