During the break between the third and fourth quarters, Joe Hai was interviewed by NBC TV sideline reporter Craig Sager on the sidelines.

"Joe, lead by one point at the end of the third quarter, do you have anything to say at this time?"

Qiao Hai smiled: "There's nothing to say, let's play the fourth quarter, we have to win." ”

"What do you think are the odds of you taking a win away from Staples?"

"Big, 99.99%."

Qiao Hai made a joke, and the Lakers fans at the scene were booing at this time, but no matter how you look at it, it was a joking boo.

I have to say that after leading the team to win a championship, Qiao Hai's status in the hearts of Lakers fans is still very high.

Craig Sagar pretended to be surprised: "99.99%? Infinitely close to 100%? ”

Qiao Hai nodded casually: "That's it, we were ahead in the third quarter, so obviously, we played better, and the chances of winning are naturally great." ”

After a bit of nonsense, Phil Jackson blew his beard and glared on the other side, reprimanding the Lakers players.

In the fourth quarter, the time has come to really fight hard.

On the Grizzlies' side, Maddie was temporarily rested, Brad Miller and Raheem led the team to play Princeton offense, and Mike Bibby, Sammack and Shaun Marion were placed on the outside.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant rested, O'Neal led the team, and the other four were AC Green, Scott Pippen, Rick Fox and Ron Harper.

Qiao Hai saw O'Neill come out and immediately gestured to the court.

Brad Miller nodded in understanding.

No one knew what Qiao Hai was thinking, but the commentary on the sidelines and Phil Jackson noticed Qiao Hai and Brad Miller's small movements, and Phil Jackson suddenly had an ominous premonition, he felt that the problem might be O'Neal, and Qiao Hai might be doing something bad to O'Neal.

Although he guessed a little wrong, Phil Jackson couldn't do anything, he could only put O'Neal in the first half of the fourth quarter, which is also the method that Phil Jackson has figured out in the past month or so.

In the final stages of the game, O'Neal will always be subject to shark-cutting tactics, so the best thing to do is to let O'Neal play at the beginning of the fourth quarter and consume a wave of opponents first.

If the opponent doesn't have the idea of cutting the shark, keep fighting until the end of the match.

If the opponent wants to cut the shark, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to cut the shark in the first half of the fourth quarter, because the number of fouls is not accumulated, and the forced cut of the shark is a heavy loss.

So, after discovering this, Phil Jackson set a rotation policy, and O'Neal often came on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Qiao Hai is good at using shark slashing tactics, so he also noticed this, so he naturally arranged it for O'Neal, and now that O'Neill is on the scene, the things arranged in advance can be used.

The fourth quarter opened, the Grizzlies' offense.

The team attacked, Brad Miller responded with a high position, Mike Bibby cut in, received the ball and missed a mid-range jumper.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed to Ron Harper.

Ron Harper dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and the Grizzlies' defense was in place, still man-to-man.

Brad Miller faced O'Neal, and Phil Jackson stood on the sidelines near the side of the basket, overseeing the Lakers' offense.

Ron Harper took possession of the ball for a while, but there was no chance.

Man-to-man defense, unless it is to get rid of the defense with personal ability, you can only force a single, but in this lineup of the Lakers, except for O'Neal, the other players are not strong in singles, so Ron Harper really couldn't find a chance, so he could only find an angle and pass the ball inside.

O'Neal singled Brad Miller and turned around for a jumper.

was slapped by Brad Miller unceremoniously slapped the basketball away, and at the same time hit O'Neal's hand hard.

There was a snap, and the sound was crisp.

The shark's hand instantly turned red, and the referee was stunned and blew the whistle.

Brad Miller is obviously going to foul, that is, to use fouls to prevent O'Neal from scoring, this way of hurting others and hurting himself is the style of play that Qiao Hai arranged in advance.

Brad Miller has already committed three fouls, Qiao Hai doesn't care at all, as long as O'Neal can't score points in a few consecutive rounds, even if Qiao Hai's goal is achieved, Brad Miller left the court with six fouls, and the Grizzlies also have Nesterovic to make up for it.

The decisive battle in the fourth quarter, the most important thing is the restriction of OK combinations, as long as you do this well, it is not a problem to win.

Therefore, Qiao Hai did not hesitate at all and threw out this move called Seven Wounds Fist.

O'Neill was a little aggrieved, and the back of his hand was red and painful.

He had no choice but to continue to stand on the free throw line in embarrassment, and then, missing two free throws, watched Brad Miller get stuck and grab the rebound.

The opening scene of the game played out again, and what was even more embarrassing was that the Grizzlies then relied on Brad Miller's strategy, and Sammak hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and Brad Miller received an assist.

The difference was also widened to 4 points.

The Lakers' offense, basketball to O'Neal again.

O'Neal hit his back, squeezed under the basket, turned around and was about to go to the basket, but Brad Miller grabbed again and blocked O'Neal's score with a foul.

O'Neill's face was already full of anger.

Joe Hay didn't care, O'Neal continued to miss two free throws, and the Grizzlies controlled the rebound.

A wave of Princeton offense didn't score.

But Qiao Hai's purpose has been achieved.

The Lakers' offense, O'Neal asked for the ball in the restricted area, Ron Harper felt that O'Neal's opportunity was not very good, he didn't give it, tried to break through, Ron Harper shot from mid-range, and didn't score.

So far in the fourth quarter, the Lakers have not scored.

Then, the Grizzlies' Princeton offense scored again, Brad Miller responded with the arc, O'Neal defended it, and the interior line was directly empty.

Mike Bibby cut diagonally into the box, received a pass, made a layup, and scored two more points.

6 points difference, turned O'Neal and didn't get the ball, although Ron Harper assisted Rick Fox to hit two points, O'Neal became more and more aggrieved, and he couldn't even get the ball, O'Neal didn't know what the point of his appearance was.

The Grizzlies returned a 2-pointer, and the margin was still 6 points.

Phil Jackson was in a hurry, the direction of the game was uncontrollable, O'Neal couldn't exert his strength, and after thinking about it, Phil Jackson directly called Kobe Bryant and replaced him.

Dead balls quickly formed on the court, O'Neal couldn't get the ball all the time, and after Kobe Bryant came out, O'Neal couldn't get the ball even more.

Kobe Bryant was in good shape, scoring one after another, and the difference was narrowed to 2 points.

But O'Neal was in a hurry and couldn't get the ball all the time, Brad Miller's small movements continued, he was very aggrieved and urgently needed a ball to vent.

As a result, the Grizzlies Princeton offense scored another goal to take a four-point lead.

The Lakers' offense, O'Neal stuck his position inside and opened his hand to ask for the ball.

Ron Harper held the ball for a while, but was not quite willing to give it.

At this time, O'Neal's role on the court is to attract defense, and he has not scored in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter, O'Neal has lost the trust of his teammates, and Kobe Bryant's performance is very good, so Ron Harper still looks at Kobe and prepares to give the ball to Kobe Bryant.

O'Neill was anxious and clapped his hands, seemingly eager.

Ron Harper saw that O'Neill was in such a hurry, and it was not good not to give it.

In hesitation, he had to give the ball to the inside.

O'Neal got the ball, instantly high-spirited, turned around and hit Brad Miller with his back, and squeezed twice to the inside line, time was running out, he turned his head and glanced at the basket, not far away, he could dunk!

So, scream, turn around and be angry!

Brad Miller has already committed four fouls, but he hasn't forgotten Qiao Hai's arrangement, without the slightest hesitation, and with a pull, Brad Miller slammed O'Neal to the ground!

With a thud, O'Neill slammed into the floor.

Beep beep! The referee blew the whistle sharply, and this time, Brad Miller's action was a bit big, and the ball looked like it was time for a malicious foul.

Qiao Hai didn't think much about it, and called Rasione Estrovich and prepared to make a substitution.

But that's when the unexpected happened......

O'Neill quickly rolled over from the field and got up, full of anger, and pounced on Brad Miller before everyone had time to react.

An old punch swung at Brad Miller, but he didn't expect Brad Miller to react quickly and turn his head to dodge.

O'Neal, who was already on fire, couldn't bear it anymore, and there was an exclamation on the sidelines of Staples Arena, and some stopping voices sounded, and the referee was even more stunned, watching O'Neal directly knock Brad Miller to the ground, and then, one after another, punched Wang Ba punch out.

At this time, the referee reacted, beeped, whistled anxiously, and reached out to pull people.

Qiao Hai and Phil Jackson on the sidelines were also anxious.

Phil Jackson is anxious, O'Neal's impulse is likely to be expelled directly, without O'Neal, how can this game be played? And O'Neal caused such a big incident, the alliance is likely to have follow-up punishments, Phil Jackson couldn't afford this loss, and hurriedly asked people to go up to stop it.

Qiao Hai was anxious, Brad Miller was pressed to the ground and beaten, and he suffered an old loss, so Qiao Hai couldn't stand it.

Of course, Qiao Hai also knew that it was not advisable to fight, so he asked Rahim on the field to come forward and pull the fight, not to do it.

Soon, O'Neal was pulled away by the other players of the Lakers, Brad Miller didn't suffer too much, but was beaten a few punches by the sea, and there were constant boos on the sidelines, Lakers fans were very dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the referees, dissatisfied with the Grizzlies, dissatisfied with Brad Miller, and even dissatisfied with O'Neal who did it.

The referee watched the field alone, and the other referees went directly to watch the video.

Obviously, the matter is serious, O'Neill and Brad Miller, there must be one who is going to be heavily punished, especially O'Neal, who is obviously doing it.

O'Neill knew this too, and he walked straight to the sidelines.

After watching the video, the referee made a penalty to O'Neill on the sidelines, a technical foul, and unsportsmanlike behavior, O'Neill was directly ejected.

O'Neal, who had been waiting on the sidelines for the decision of the penalty, shook his hand directly, turned his head and walked towards the players' tunnel.

On the other side, Brad Miller was not spared, and the referee made a second-degree malicious foul and was also directly ejected.

The matter was big, but Qiao Hai didn't think there was a problem on the Grizzlies' side, and stood up to protest, he felt that Brad Miller's action was at most just a first-level malicious foul, and the referee obviously punished him heavily.

But the referee ignored it and warned Qiao Hai that if Qiao Hai continued to protest, he would receive a technical foul.

Phil Jackson sneered on the side, Qiao Hai ignored it, and after making a fuss for a while, he also died down.

O'Neal and Brad Miller left the court at the same time, the Grizzlies replaced Rasian Nestelovich, and the Lakers also replaced AC Green.

The game continues......
