In fact, this season's 76ers' Kombat whirlwind has set off a frenzy in the league, and many teams with excellent pitchers have begun to follow this model. But now the Lakers have taught every team that learns from the 76ers a good lesson, any lineup is not without restraint, as long as it can find the weak underbelly, at least it can complete a breakthrough at that point.

And O'Neal's existence is obviously on the weakness of the 76ers, but to some extent, it can be regarded as the weakness of the vast majority of teams in the league. Since the aging of the big four centers in the 90s, there is basically no interior line in the league that can compete with O'Neal, Duncan and Garnett are worth looking forward to, but they are not pure centers, and if they want to compete for power under the basket, they will still be blown up by the big sharks, and the people who can limit him are still on the other side of the ocean!

Chang Wei also doesn't know if his rebirth will change some established things, such as the year Yao Ming participated in the draft. It is undeniable that Yao Ming is another powerful center after O'Neal, although there is still a gap in strength, but it has reached the point where it can be made up, and his mid-range shooting has also made O'Neal suffer enough. It's a pity that according to the process of his previous life, Yao Ming will not land in the NBA until next year, at least this offseason the 76ers don't need to consider him to strengthen the interior.

No matter what the future holds, at least for now, the 76ers can only use Mutombo to carry the interior line, and the twin towers of him and Makloch have proven not to be suitable for the current era, in fact, it has a lot to do with their own ability, if it is David Robinson and Duncan in his prime, then the big sharks can only stare on the inside. Mutombo actually struggled on the inside, but when he thought that he could win his first career championship by beating his opponent, he gritted his teeth and insisted on fighting for rebounds every round.

Thanks to Mutombo's rebounding guarantee on the inside, the 76ers' shooters gradually regained their touch, and the gap was narrowed to less than 5 points again. O'Neal's shooting percentage under the basket is indeed high, but in the end it is still 1 point less than the outside shot, which also highlights the importance of the three-point shot to a certain extent. For the 76ers, this 1 point from the outside is quite crucial, after all, it is difficult for them to score inside now, and the team itself is also on the outside, as long as they can grab a certain number of offensive rebounds, they can fire unscrupulously outside the three-point line, without having to drill hard to drill under the basket.

However, this reliance on three-point shooting also has a lot of hidden dangers, and at the most critical moment of the game, the players on both sides must have little physical strength, and this time the competition is who is more efficient in each offensive round. And O'Neal's strong offense under the basket can obviously continue to maintain a normal shooting rate, and it is difficult to say whether the 76ers' outside shooting can be maintained.

But now they still maintain the difference with their strong three-point shooting ability, and do not let the Lakers go away, the most important thing is that this time Reed is not the only one who played well, including Iverson and Lewis also scored from outside the three-point line, and Bell also hit two bottom corner three-pointers. In the entire third quarter, the 76ers hit a total of 9 three-pointers and scored 42 points in a single quarter, while the Lakers scored 38 points, which made the 76ers only enter the fourth quarter with a one-point deficit, and in any game, except for the last minute, the difference of one point is negligible, and the two sides have returned to the same running line.

O'Neal finally went down to rest for about 3 minutes in this quarter, otherwise everyone really thinks he is iron-clad, Rao is so, O'Neill has also played a full 33 minutes, which is already the playing time of many players in a game, but there is still a quarter of this game not played. However, this has a lot to do with the atmosphere of the league today, a total of 97 people played at least 30 minutes per game in the regular season this season, 56 players played more than 35 minutes per game, O'Neal played 33 minutes in the third quarter is actually nothing surprising, if it weren't for the 76ers to equip Iverson with some strong teammates, he may have played more than 40 minutes per game, just like he did in most of the games this season in his previous life.

It is thanks to O'Neal's dismissal in the last three minutes that the 76ers will narrow the gap to 1 point, if he is still on the court, not to mention the Lakers' interior score, at least Iverson They will not dare to continue to rush to the basket.

Perhaps because O'Neal had rested enough, he reappeared on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but by this time the 76ers' shooters no longer needed to rely on continuous hungry shots to maintain their touch. This is naturally thanks to Reed, who is actually the 76ers' top scorer, at least what Chang Wei sees in the system, and Reed has the microwave attributes that the sixth man needs most, as long as he is on the court, he can play a role immediately, and he has not fallen behind after becoming a starter.

In the case of Lewis's continuous iron, he took over the task of outside shooting very decisively, and carried the team's three-point shooting alone, which also allowed the 76ers to bite the Lakers to the death and prevent the latter from pulling the score away. Until the last five minutes of the game, the difference between the two sides was still 2 points, which came to the critical moment officially defined by the league.

The so-called key moment refers to the fourth quarter and the last five minutes of overtime with a margin of less than five points, and many stars will drop significantly during this period, and this game is no exception. Whether it's Kobe or Iverson, the shooting percentage has dropped significantly, not to mention Lewis, his mental capacity is not strong enough, and he can ensure that he is not weak when someone needs to step up, and he can't count on him for three-point shooting.

The only normal performance on the offensive end of the two sides is O'Neal and Reed, O'Neal is closer to the basket, as long as he can ensure physical strength, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad. In contrast, Reed's performance is even more valuable, because most of his shots are far from the basket, and such shooting distance can still maintain a good shooting percentage and help the team bite the score, which can only show that Reed's shooting ability is already above many players in the league. While O'Neal is a tough problem for the 76ers to solve, why wouldn't Reed be another tough problem for the Lakers?

These two people are one on the inside and the other on the outside, both of which pose a great threat to the opponent, but the Zen master is still very calm, after all, Reed has Kobe Bryant to defend, but O'Neal is not an inside player of the 76ers who can defend against it, and he is full of confidence in dragging the series into the tiebreaker, so that the Lakers may have a chance to reverse and win the championship.
