"Boy, you're so arrogant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "When O'Neal faced the sandwich attack of Duncan and Samaki Walker, and wanted to pass the ball to Robert Holly, but was rushed over diagonally, after stealing directly, after watching Meng Xu's fast attack dunk, he had an expression of underbeating, and the angry O'Neal also yelled at Meng Xu.

"Shaq, thank you for the compliment." After hearing O'Neill's words, Meng Xu didn't feel any unhappiness, but had a perverted pleasure in his heart.

"Get ready to bear my wrath, bastard." Now O'Neal is really angry, in the entire first quarter, O'Neal played very aggrieved, in order to implement the so-called tactics of the head coach, O'Neal constantly wanted to make the ball for his teammates, but except for Kobe, this group of weak chickens except for wasting their passes again and again, did nothing at all, in the case of this group of weak chickens doing nothing, the Spurs were even more crazy to wrap themselves, at the beginning it was Samaki Walker and Duncan's double bag, and even Meng Xu would run to pinch himself later.

must take revenge, must find the field, and let that arrogant rookie know how stupid it is to provoke himself.

"Ron, give me the ball." O'Neal, who was still near the free throw line, reached directly to Ron Haber outside the three-point line to ask for the ball.

Ron Haber passed the ball to O'Neal very cooperatively, and at the end of the first quarter, perhaps it was a decline in physical strength, or it could be a fear of fouling again, when he was forcing himself, Meng Xu, who had eaten a foul, gradually loosened his pressing in the subsequent game, and Ron Haber returned to his comfortable game again.

After dribbling the ball on the spot, O'Neal rushed directly to the basket, and with a simple feint and back turn, he easily shook off Samaki Walker, and ended the offense with a pull-up jump shot that he was not good at before Duncan's defense arrived.

Although O'Neal's condition is very good, but Phil Jackson on the sidelines is a little anxious, because the current situation on the court is very unfavorable to the Lakers, O'Neal's offense is unsolvable, but his physical strength is not enough to support him to use this style of play throughout the game, if O'Neal consumes a lot of his physical strength in the first half of this game, then when O'Neal needs to take over the game in the fourth quarter, O'Neal's physical strength can still be supported, it is also a question. But at this time, when the rest of the Lakers' players can't score, if O'Neal doesn't stand up, then maybe before O'Neal needs to take over the game, the Lakers will be finished, but fortunately, the game in the first quarter is about to end, and the Lakers still have a chance to adjust.

"The Spurs' defense in the first quarter is too strong, whether it is Tim Duncan or Meng Xu, the defense of the two is historic, and the important thing is that the cooperation between Duncan and Meng Xu is also very tacit, it is really hard to imagine that they have only been together for a year. Phil Jackson needs to find a way to deal with it quickly, or the Lakers will be really dangerous. After the end of the first quarter of the game, Magic Johnson looked at the players of the two teams walking off the court, and he also felt a little emotional.

27-22, after the end of the first quarter, the Spurs had a five-point lead over the Lakers. In the first quarter of the game, O'Neal shot 6 of 11 and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 14 points in a single quarter, but O'Neal did not show a happy look after he got off the court.

Because of the lead in the score, the atmosphere on the Spurs bench was also quite relaxed, but Popovich did not dare to relax in the slightest, perhaps it consumed too much energy on the defensive end, Meng Xu did not shoot many times in the first quarter, 4 shots and 3 shots, scored 6 points, 4 assists, 3 steals and 4 rebounds, very all-round data, but the only 3-point shot was iron, which is also something that makes Popovich more worried, according to technical statistics, as long as Meng Xu can hit the first 3 points after the opening, Then Meng Xu's hit rate in the whole game will not be bad, on the contrary, even if it is not possessed by the iron god, it is almost the same, although this statement is very unscientific, but the technical statistics are really there.

In the first quarter of the game, Duncan, who played as a power forward, was still the team's first offensive point, and Duncan, who scored 9 points on 4-of-8 shooting, was not as bright as O'Neal, but he also maintained a fairly high efficiency. It's just that in the next game, it is impossible for the Spurs to continue to maintain the defensive intensity in the first quarter, once the Spurs relax their defense, with the Lakers' offensive ability, it is still easy to reverse the gap of a few points.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, the Spurs and the Lakers both sent their own bench lineups, the Spurs, who had an advantage in the bench lineup, after Shaun Elliott and Avery Johnson played as substitutes in this game, they overwhelmed the Lakers' bench lineup, only two minutes later, the difference between the two teams advanced towards 10 points, Phil Jackson quickly called a timeout and sent Kobe Bryant, in the first quarter of the game, because the scene has been in a slight situation, Kobe and O'Neal have played a full 12 minutes, Didn't get the slightest rest.

When Kobe Bryant replaced Brian Shaw, relying on Kobe's excellent individual ability, the Lakers' bench lineup was also inseparable from the Spurs' bench lineup, and finally when the main players of the two teams came on the court, 36-33, the difference between the two sides had narrowed to 3 points.

After returning to the court, according to Popovich's arrangement, Meng Xu continued to hold the ball to impact the Lakers' interior, and Duncan will put more energy on the defensive end, while limiting O'Neal as much as possible, accumulate physical strength for the fourth quarter of the game, for the Spurs, it is not yet the time for the final showdown, since there is no way to beat the Lakers to death with a stick, then simply hang slowly, and wait until the second half of the game again.

With the decline in the intensity of the Spurs' outside defense, coupled with Phil Jackson's adjustment during the timeout, the Lakers' outside players have gradually changed a little, in order to open up more space for O'Neal, Robert Holly is getting farther and farther away from the basket, at this time Duncan who defends Robert Holly is undoubtedly very embarrassing, if you don't follow out, Robert Holly's outside shooting is very threatening, the current NBA playoffs 3-point consecutive shooting record is still held by Holly, once Holly is allowed to shoot, 20+ in a single gameIt's a very easy thing to do. But if you go out, it will undoubtedly be difficult to wrap O'Neal.

When Meng Xu began to accelerate outside the 3-point line with the ball as usual, the Lakers obviously changed their defensive strategy against Meng Xu, and Robert Holly took the initiative to drop Duncan opposite him, and raised the distance of about one meter below the free throw line.

"What a good opportunity to foul." When Meng Xu began to accelerate, seeing Robert Holly in motion, Meng Xu had already made up his mind to make Holly's foul, and making the opponent's foul in the breakthrough was still very easy for the serpentine maneuver, such a breakthrough skill. When Meng Xu shook off Rick Fox by changing direction, facing Robert Hawley, who had already stood in advance of the position, Meng Xu continued to change direction, and then skillfully leaned towards Robert Hawley's body from the side, and at the same time made a move that wanted to shoot.

"What's going on?" When the whistle was remembered, Meng Xu was directly forced, and the referee on duty blew Meng Xu's offensive foul.

"Meng, calm down, calm down." As soon as he wanted to rush over and reason with the referee, Jaren Jackson grabbed Meng Xu from behind. If there is a superstar like Duncan who is whistled, then the referee will still look at some face. But a rookie like Meng Xu goes to the referee to theorize, and with Meng Xu's character who likes to talk trash, once he chats with the referee, there is a chance that he will eat a technical foul.

"FACK, IT'S JUST A NORMAL PHYSICAL CONTACT." Popovich, who was on the sidelines, subconsciously felt bad when he saw this kind of penalty, and at the same time complained to the referee next to him, wanting to put a little pressure on them.

Soon Popovich's ominous premonition came true, Meng Xu was whistled for a foul again when defending Rick Fox, and less than 1 minute into the second quarter, Meng Xu was blown two fouls, plus a foul in the first quarter, Meng Xu has accumulated 3 fouls, taking advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball, Popovich immediately replaced Meng Xu with Avery Johnson.
