Chapter 179: The Aggrieved Shark

"An opening button! From Tracy McGrady! ”

The opening scene was shocking, and McBrin in the commentary seat shouted excitedly.

The Battle of Bear Lake was very exciting at the beginning.

After Maddie's dunk, he shook his hand, jumped, and celebrated arrogantly, and he was greeted by boos from the Staples Arena.

The Lakers attacked, after Kobe Bryant missed a shot in the opening game, he chose to pass the ball inside, O'Neal received the ball, and the inside line forced Brad Miller.

The Grizzlies' defense still didn't flank it.

O'Neal turned around and pushed Brad Miller directly, trying to dunk as well, but Brad Miller stuck very well, O'Neal didn't dunk hard, and was forced to put the basket with both hands and put the basketball into the basket.

2:2, the score is tied.

O'Neal's personal strength is still quite strong, Brad Miller can't defend himself, and of course, Qiao Hai didn't expect Brad Miller to be able to guard against O'Neal.

As long as Brad Miller can restrain O'Neal and keep the sharks from turning the sky upside down, the game will be played.

In the frontcourt, Maddy dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, Brad Miller also pulled to the high post, directly a cover, Maddie rushed in, Mike Bibby reflexively inserted from the sideline, Brad Miller moved sideways and gave another cover.

The Lakers' defense was concentrated on Maddy's side, and Mike Bibby was directly ignored.

Mike Bibby flew to the free throw line and Maddie passed the ball back.

Mike Bibby held the ball to the basket with one hand, and O'Neal couldn't catch it back, watching Mike Bibby pass past him and send the ball into the basket.

The Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant asked for a block, and he cooperated with Robert Horry.

Through the cover of Robert Horry, Kobe Bryant rushed a step, made a pull-up jumper, slammed, and didn't go in.

In the next round, on the Grizzlies' side, it was Maddie who took the ball again, Kobe Bryant defended alone, and the Lakers did not pinch it.

Maddie directly singled out Kobe Bryant, pulled out in the middle distance, and also missed.

Iron on both sides.

Once again, the Lakers gave the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal singled Brad Miller, the last time he wanted to dunk was unsuccessful, this time he still wanted to dunk, but Brad Miller was stuck behind O'Neal, either fouled, O'Neal fell to the ground, or O'Neal had to give up the idea of dunking.

O'Neal played a little aggrieved, and this time he didn't want to give up, so he still held the ball with both hands and stretched out to dunk.

With a bang, O'Neal clasped his hands on the hoop and the basketball flew away.

With a beep, the referee also blew the whistle in time to signal for a foul by Brad Miller.

Although he got the foul, O'Neal was very dissatisfied, shook his fist, and then, standing on the free throw line, lost both free throws.

Brad Miller got stuck again and grabbed the rebound.

O'Neill felt more and more aggrieved that he had been beaten.

A wave of Grizzlies offense, or Maddie holding the ball, blocking and dismantling at the top of the arc, the Lakers blocked Maddy, Maddie directly distributed the ball to Brad Miller, Brad Miller made a two-point shot from a long distance, hmph!

In the crisp sound of wiping the net, Brad Miller scored 2 points.

Now, O'Neill is even more aggrieved.

At 6:2, the Grizzlies quickly established a four-point lead.

On his home court, the Grizzlies played a good offense and did a pretty good job defensively, and Phil Jackson was very dissatisfied, and if this continued, the home fans should boo him.

In fact, Phil Jackson is a little jealous of Qiao Hai, Qiao Hai is very popular with Lakers fans, in this game, Qiao Hai played away, and there were no fans in the Staples Arena to boo Qiao Hai, which is very revealing.

Phil Jackson knows that once the Lakers don't play well in this game, the fans at home will definitely turn against him.

So, he expressed his displeasure and shouted twice on the sidelines.

The Lakers' offense, Kobe and O'Neal didn't dare to mess around, Kobe Bryant singled, this time he played very seriously, singled out Ragabel on the left side, a backward jumper, it seemed to be another wave shot, but the basketball plunged into the basket.

Ball in! Staples cheered.

The Lakers pulled back two points, the Grizzlies continued to attack Princeton, Raheem took the ball in the low post, and the Lakers did not pinch it, Robert Horry defended alone, but was played by Raheem's footsteps, one turned and passed, and directly sent the ball into the basket with one hand.

8:4!

The Lakers' offense, the ball went to O'Neal again.

Qiao Hai also saw this way of giving the ball to the Lakers, Kobe and O'Neal took turns to play singles, as long as it was one-on-one, they could shoot, and if they encountered a pinch, they would pass the ball.

Simple and rough, but with two superstars with a total rating of 90+, this simple and rough attack will achieve good results.

Qiao Hai was thinking about how to deal with the Lakers' simple and crude offense, while on the Lakers' side, Phil Jackson was still wondering: Why didn't the Grizzlies flank the attack? The defense seems to be man-to-man, and the Grizzlies don't play joint defense anymore?

Phil Jackson was a little depressed.

But in the depression, Phil Jackson also understood that he had no reason to lose this game.

On the court, O'Neal singled, turned and hooked, and successfully hit.

O'Neal, who doesn't play with fire, wanted to score, but Brad Miller still couldn't stop it, and after scoring this goal, O'Neill was a little nervous, and patted his broad chest with his right hand, as if provocative.

Brad Miller came up from the bottom and entered the league after a failed draft, so he wasn't impressed by O'Neal's provocations.

Grizzlies high Princeton, Brad Miller's pass was almost missed, Maddy received the ball and forced a miss, Robert Horry got the rebound inside, the Lakers directly played a wave of counterattacks, and Ron Harper scored 2 points on a layup.

8:8 draw, the score was equalized.

Qiao Hai was also a little helpless when he saw the Lakers' fast attack counterattack.

Or what he brought to the Lakers, although Phil Jackson transformed his triangle offense, many things that worked well during the Qiao Hai period were left, such as this fast break counterattack, although it will waste O'Neal's existence to a certain extent, but if he can score easily, Phil Jackson will naturally not let it go.

The score was tied, and the Grizzlies' offense was still unhurried.

This time the ball was given to the low post, Raheem took the ball alone, Robert Horry defended alone, and a Scott Pippen was sandwiched on the side, Raheem did not hesitate and directly distributed the ball to Ragabel, who was no longer defending, but on the way to the pass, Scott Pippen made another steal.

Staples burst into cheers, and the Lakers scored another 2 points on another fast break.

In the blink of an eye, two rounds, the Lakers took the lead.

Even after Princeton's offense missed, the Grizzlies began to change.

Maddie and Brad Miller arc top block and dismantle, this is an offensive means required to be added in Qiao Hai's pre-game arrangement, Princeton offense missed, Maddie immediately thought of blocking and dismantling, after a block and dismantling, Maddie made a high jump shot, smack, and successfully hit!

The score is tied.

Immediately after, the Lakers' offense, O'Neal singled, continued to score.

The Grizzlies, on their side, also continued to arc top blocking.

Both sides score each other, and the score alternates up.

At the end of the first quarter, at 27:28, the Grizzlies trailed by one point away.
