On the sidelines, Joe Hay pulled Scott Pippen and whispered.

The game has entered the third quarter, and Allen Iverson continued to go on a rampage, scoring seven points in the first six minutes of the third quarter, and the score of the game has reached 27 points.

On the Lakers' side, O'Neal also scored 10 points in a row, barely helping the Lakers chase points to single digits.

Halfway through the third quarter, Joe Hay had to think about O'Neal's fitness.

On the inside, O'Neal is a behemoth, but at the same time, because of his huge size, O'Neal's physical consumption per goal is larger than that of ordinary people, so under normal circumstances, Qiao Hai will not overuse O'Neal.

Therefore, as soon as the official timeout arrived, Qiao Hai directly replaced O'Neal, and pulled Pippen, asking Pippen to hold the ball more and carry the team's offensive banner.

Pippen nodded in agreement, Qiao Hai meant to give him the ball, this was to give him a chance to brush the data, and he must be willing.

The official timeout ends and the game resumes.

On the 76ers' offense, Iverson used a deft change of direction to get past Bruce Bowen and made a pull-up jump shot, and the 76ers regained a 10-point lead.

On the Lakers' offensive round, Scott Pippen held the ball on the outside and watched the 76ers' defense.

Now he has two options, playing alone or finding a teammate in an open position, and to do the second thing, the premise is that Pippen himself has to attract the defense.

Therefore, after observing the defense for a while, Scott Pippen broke directly to the right side of the 76ers, 76ers center Theolatliff defended the left side, and the 76ers player responsible for marking Pippen was George Lynch, who had the same name as the famous rock singer, George Lynch's personal style focused on defense, and he did not suffer any loss against Scott Pippen.

Scott Pippen tried to break through, and he took a big step sideways, took two quick steps from the right side, slapped the ball twice, and tore a hole.

George Lynch followed, and his defense was not out of position.

Theolatliff saw Pippen pushing on the right side, and quickly moved from the left to the right.

Scott Pippen, who rushed to the outside of the box, couldn't get too many chances, he thought for a moment and stuffed the ball directly to Shaun Lukes under the basket.

Sean Lukes catches the ball and flies to the basket.

Theolatliff turned around with a volleyball cap, and the Wajovia Center Arena instantly turned into a sea of cheers.

Taken off! Qiao Hai kept shaking his head, Sean Lukes's offense was about equal to nothing, and this ball was given to Sean Lukes, which was basically equivalent to giving away the offensive power of this round.

The 76ers snatched the basketball, and Iverson turned and scored quickly, bringing the margin to 12 points.

The Lakers' offense, Scott Pippen continued to play alone, in the face of George Lynch's defense, Scott Pippen failed to capture too good opportunities, and the 76ers' defense had no holes, and Scott Pippen could only come by himself.

The strong shot missed, and the 76ers grabbed the rebound again.

Iverson tried a fast break and couldn't do it, but in the face of Bruce Bowen's defense, he switched to a backward mid-range jumper and hit it again.

The gap widened, with a 14-point difference.

Qiao Hai frowned, if he continued to play like this, the score difference would soon be pulled to 20 points, and at that time, even if O'Neill was used excessively, the score would not be able to be recovered.

After thinking about it, Qiao Hai directly called O'Neal: "Shaq, go to the technical table, replace Sean, and let Scott change his style of play and use you as the core." ”

O'Neal nodded, and after another two rounds, Iverson caused Bruce Bowen's foul, Bowen fouled five times in the game, Qiao Hai cursed secretly, turned around and replaced Kobe Bryant, and asked Kobe to mark Iverson.

After the substitution, Qiao Hai pinned his hopes on O'Neal's power to recover the score.

The old and spicy Larry Brown also made an immediate adjustment, and the starting power forward Matt Geiger directly fouled O'Neal without the ball.

Qiao Hai secretly said that it was over, and the 76ers really sacrificed the shark cutting tactic......

……

After three quarters, the 76ers relied on comprehensive suppression to take a 20-point lead.

Qiao Hai gave up resistance, replaced the Big Three, replaced the substitutes, and gave up the game......

Now Hanzlick on the commentary bench was even more embarrassed, because the result of the game confirmed everything he said: "The Lakers are going to lose, they are going to have two consecutive losses, but that's not the point, the point is, the Lakers' young coach is still inexperienced, he was suppressed by Larry Brown for a whole game......"

"The Lakers' tactics are only singles, Shaquille O'Neal singles, Kobe Bryant singles, and Scott Pippen singles, before they had a wave of 14 consecutive wins, in 14 consecutive wins, the Big Three are in good shape, so they can easily win many games, but in this game, Kobe Bryant struggled, and Scott Pippen also showed that he is no longer the Scott Pippen of the year."

"Therefore, with only one O'Neal, Qiao Hai will not be able to win with the Lakers, and Qiao Hai will not be able to win more ...... with only superstar singles"

Hubie Brown shook his head, he was not interested in Hanzlick's tirade, and his summary of this game was very simple: "Actually, the Lakers just lost to their state, in the last game, Kobe Bryant was not in good shape, and this game still failed to adjust, plus back-to-back battles, the Lakers were not fit enough, and they couldn't defend against Allen Iverson, so they lost the game." ”

The bench players played the fourth quarter, and the Lakers lost two in a row.

Qiao Hai's face was gloomy, it was not terrible to lose, it was terrible to lose in a row, fortunately, the two consecutive defeats were not home games, otherwise Qiao Hai would feel even more terrible.

At the press conference after the game, Qiao Hai still attended.

There is nothing to escape, although it is an away game, the Lakers still banned the Los Angeles Times and ESPN reporters from admitting admission, and only the reporters of the local media in Philadelphia continued to make things difficult for Qiao Hai with questions, hoping that Qiao Hai would explain the reason for the team's losing streak.

Qiao Hai's explanation for this is simple: "The losing streak is a result that none of us want to see, and the reason is actually very simple, we are not in good shape, and we are playing back-to-back, there are serious fitness problems, and the Philadelphia 76ers are a strong opponent, Allen Iverson is very good, and in the case of poor form and back-to-back games, we lost to the 76ers, obviously it was not an unexpected result." ”

After this explanation, the local media in Philadelphia were also satisfied.

Qiao Hai personally said that the 76ers were a formidable opponent and praised Allen Iverson, and such an answer naturally made these local Philadelphia reporters excited.

After a losing streak, the Lakers continued to play on the road.

Considering the team's fitness problems, Qiao Hai decided to fly to Orlando overnight, booked a local hotel in Orlando in advance, and prepared to rest in Orlando for a day off, and on the third day, he traveled to face the Orlando Magic, Shaquille O'Neal's parent team.

The old general faces the old master, O'Neill faces the old enemy Anfernee Hardaway, and a battle of proof for O'Neill begins......
