Zhang Zhu still wanted to do something, but the SuperSonics didn't give him a chance, although even Payton was a little soft, but they could still hold on for a minute and a half, so the Seattlemen began to press on the outside, overdrawn and began to oppress the defense, which was actually to give the Lakers two points, but resolutely not to give three points to play.

George Carr's caution made the Lakers lose the last hope of a comeback, and Zhang Yu made another three-point shot, but in the face of Schramf, who was almost in front of him, he could only turn up the arc, and almost threw a three-pointer.

This goal completely declared the defeat of the Lakers, and the SuperSonics did not attack, Payton took the ball and began to drag out time, and the Lakers could only continue to foul, and the difference was quickly widened to 15 points.

This is the home of the supersonics, and there is no miracle, Zhang can only burst to the basket to score two points after the game enters the last minute, which is what he calls an invalid score, because it can't change the overall situation.

The final score was 104-115, and the Lakers players couldn't laugh anymore, even though they did what the halfcourt had set for them to claw, clawing back 12 points in the second half. But at the end of the game, they can no longer think about the "win if you score a point", they just want to use the "mental victory method" to restore confidence, but it doesn't mean that they really deceive themselves, it's time to go back and summarize the reasons for their defeat.

O'Neal in front of the TV was happy that the Lakers lost, and he was in a very happy mood, and even the depression of his fiasco yesterday dissipated a lot.

But O'Neal didn't fight back like Zhang Qiu laughed at him, who made his performance a lot worse than Zhang Qi yesterday, this bastard cut 45 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals today, although the shooting rate was only 16 of 41, but at least close to 40% of the shooting rate.

The most important thing is that although the Lakers also lost today, it is very different from the Magic fiasco.

The Lakers trailed by 23 points in the first half, but by the end of the game they were just 11 points behind, and there were several single-digit hits in the process, and even home fans and superSonics admitted that they were intimidated by the Lakers' momentum several times.

Looking at the Magic, they were also 20 points behind in the first half, but in the second half, they lost all morale, lost their morale, and completely lost their ability to resist and fighting spirit, and the result was that they were almost won by the Bulls by 40 points.

The difference between Zhang Mao and O'Neal is even more obvious, O'Neal has no intention of defending when he is behind by a big score, so that cats and dogs can achieve super high scoring efficiency on his head. In contrast, Zhang Yi can lead the team to chase points when his hand is cold, and the desire of the two to win is obviously not the same, who knows what O'Neill thinks when the team is behind by a big score?

'We played like shit in the first half, but we knew we couldn't keep it stinking, so we agreed at half-time to forget about the first half and treat the second half as a separate game. Yes, we lied to ourselves, but it allowed us to start again and end up winning mentally in the second half. ”

Zhang Fu's words after the game made the Seattle reporter very unhappy, and soon some people ridiculed him for being self-deceptive and stupid!

"Yes, we were kidding ourselves, now that the first game is a thing of the past, we know we lost the first game, but we also know that we have the ability to beat the SuperSonics and we will come back in the next game, and then it will not be a mental victory."

Zhang Qi doesn't care about losing the first game at all, the playoffs are hard to play on the road, and their goal is to grab a win from the start. Even if this plan fails in the end, they fall behind 0:2, and in fact do not come to a dead end, this score can still be saved.

Therefore, the current Lakers still have room to retreat, as long as they win the next game and turn the total score into 1:1, they will have some advantages, because they also have two home courts next, if they can win them, it will be a score of 3:1.

After the game, the major sports media naturally can't find fault with Zhang Fu's performance, and the rookies who played the division finals as the core of the team in the first season are already rare, Zhang Zhu just has a low shooting rate in today's game, but people will definitely have times when they are not in good shape, Jordan also has the embarrassing situation of repeatedly missing shots, and in this year's playoffs, he has had a shooting rate of less than 40%.

Los Angeles media counted his data in eight playoff games, so far, Zhang has scored a total of 262 points, 74 rebounds, 54 assists, 23 steals and 12 blocks, which is converted into an astonishing average of 32.7 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 50.3% from the field, 42.5% from three-point range, and 85.1% from the free throw line.

This data is the reason why O'Neill can't open his mouth to laugh at Zhang Zhu, he really wants to laugh at Zhang Zhu, but he doesn't have the capital to laugh at others, and it's good that Zhang Zhu doesn't mock him after the game.

Soon, Zhang Wei had a new joke to mock O'Neal - free throws!

On May 22, the Magic and Bulls played Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

This time, O'Neal was ashamed and brave, probably because he wanted to get the qualification to laugh at Zhang Zhu, so the shark was invincible in the entire first half, killing all sides, and handed over a terrifying performance of 10 of 14 shots in only one half, slashing 21 points and 9 rebounds.

Luke Longley, who was opposite O'Neal today, was almost knocked out of the, which also made the Magic lead the Bulls by as many as 15 points in the first half, and it looked like they were trying to regain the face lost in the first big loss.

On the Bulls' side, it's a bit like the magic of the first game, in addition to Jordan and Pippen, the third highest scoring is actually Rodman.

Chicago fans know that this is a bit of a bad thing, and once the "Big Bug" scores in the top three of the team, it is usually not a good thing for the Bulls.

O'Neal also thought that he could break the enemy alone today, Hardaway was prevented by the Bulls in the first half with 8 shots and 3 shots, this shooting rate was very average, especially 3 shots from three-point shots 0, it can be seen that the Bulls had a target for Hardaway who performed well in the first game, but the ferocious shark almost collapsed.

But soon, Phil Jackson spotted O'Neal's weakness from the data sheet, and his 1-of-6 shooting percentage in the first half was very impressive, which has happened more than once, and the Blue Road naturally knows what to do.

To be honest, O'Neal's free throw shooting is really bad, and he shot a little over 50 percent last season, which has dropped to less than 50 percent this year.

O'Neal's free-throw shooting rate has been declining strangely year after year, which shows that this product has not practiced free throws at all, so the free throw shooting rate has declined year after year when his strength has increased year after year.

As long as you know a little bit of basketball fans, you know that there is no shortcut to practicing free throws, and no matter how good your talent is, you must maintain a certain amount of training for a long time to maintain a relatively stable shooting rate, and the more you practice, the higher the shooting rate, and the less you practice, the lower the will definitely decline.

During the regular season, Zhang had to shoot 100 free throws a day in virtual training, occasionally increasing to 200, which was actually not a high amount of training, barely reaching the average level, so his shooting rate could only be maintained at about 80%. By the end of the regular season, he had increased his training volume to 200, which allowed him to shoot 85 percent of his free throw line in the playoffs. This is the impact of the amount of training on the shooting rate, and it has no absolute relationship with too much strength or anything like that, in the NBA, there is a lot of strength but a lot of stable free throws.

Of course, too much strength does have a certain impact on shooting, mainly because it is not stable enough, and it requires a larger amount of training than the average player to achieve the same training effect, which is the disadvantage of too much strength.

The same is true for Zhang, who would have dropped his shooting percentage by at least 5% this season without a virtual training system, and that is, at least 5% in every shooting session.

O'Neal's free-throw shooting percentage is already terrible, and it's not uncommon for him to hit only one or two out of ten free throws when he encounters a bad hand. This is the case today, the Bulls were very happy to use the shark slashing tactic in the second half, and O'Neal was depressed and handed over the free throw shooting rate of 4 of 16 in the game.

The final score was 93:88, and the Bulls' shark-cutting tactics were unusually successful, but they also won thrillingly.

Jordan scored 35 points in the game, and although his shooting percentage was a bit low, the free throws made 15 of 16 free throws from the field to make his true shooting percentage not bad at all, especially in a few key rounds to win the game for the Bulls.

O'Neal's shooting percentage was also very good until the end of the game, but the problem was that in the crucial rounds, his free throws, which were destined to be ridiculed by countless people after the game, became the sinner of the team's loss.

The fat man himself was very unconvinced after the game, he thought that the Bulls had made too many free throws, especially half of Jordan's 16 free throws were won in key rounds, and these key and fatal free throws made the Bulls and killed the Magic.

He didn't dare to say it too bluntly, but the implication was already obvious, that is, he was protesting that the referee gave Jordan too many free throw opportunities, and many of the free throws here are far-fetched, once or twice it should be regarded as a normal home whistle and star whistle, but it is too much to always take care of the Bulls and Jordan at critical moments.

Zhang Wei does not disagree with O'Neal's opinion, the Bulls have indeed received a lot of care at home, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are deliberately biased, especially a few key free throws in the final final stage, which really decided the outcome of the game.

But the problem is that O'Neal himself has a lot of free throws, and if he can hit a few more of those free throws, even if it is only 60% shooting, then he will only lose to the Bulls, so he still has to blame himself a little more.

The local radio station in Orlando should also think that O'Neal's free throws were the main culprit of the loss, and actually held a "free throws are more accurate than Shaq" game after the game, as long as the shooting percentage is more than 25%, it is the winner, because O'Neal shot less than 25% in the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals.

Coincidentally, Florida was hosting the DAYTONA Beach Moto Week, and the free throw contest was quickly decided by the 9-year-old twins from Baytona Beach, who made a total of 16 free throws and hit six.

O'Neill had just returned to Orlando with the team, and when he heard the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

Zhang Qi had already laughed yesterday, and now his own situation was not much better, so he didn't have the time to laugh at O'Neill anymore. The top priority now is to get himself out of the trap first, and then if they are beaten to 2:0 like magic, then they are not far from death, and he doesn't want to go fishing with O'Neill.

On May 23, that is, on Thursday, the Lakers will play the SuperSonics again in Seattle, and this game will determine the prospects of the two teams to advance - a win for the SuperSonics will give them a worry-free qualification; When the Lakers win, the situation is better.

Zhang Qi knows that they can't afford to lose again, they can't win this game today, there will be no margin for error when they return to their home court, huge pressure can crush them, and the supersonic will inevitably be demoralized, and the Lakers will really be in the mood at that time.

"I found that my journal had nearly twice as many hits today, you don't think I'm going to taunt him again, do you?" Zhang Mao made a joke at the pre-match press conference to relieve pressure on himself, but he should be called shameless.

"I made a bet with him, but we are not in a good situation, the Magic have been 2-0 ahead, if we lose today, the score will be 0-2, how embarrassed am I to mock him now, when I win today's game, you can see what I will write."

O'Neill probably wouldn't pay attention to what Zhang Qi said, otherwise he would really be angry and vomit blood when he heard these words.

"Leon, do you have any targeted tactics?"

"Lyon, do the Lakers have a way to deal with the superSonics?"

"Will the Lakers wrap up Camp Fire Payton?"

“…………”

The media like to ask questions before the game that are not destined to be answered, and they always ask the players.

Zhang Yu secretly despised these guys in his heart, and of course he wouldn't say anything about these problems.

But after thinking about it, if you don't come to bluff, you may be able to fool them.

"Absolutely! Today's tactic is 'one man is an army'. This person is of course me, and in this match, I will use my individual ability to break down their defense. ”

Zhang Mao's words make people don't know whether it's true or not, but looking at the way he came when he opened his mouth, I'm afraid that the smoke bomb didn't run away.

There was still some time before the start of the game, and the SuperSonics naturally received the news before the game, and most people thought it was a ruse set up by Zhang Fu to trick them into changing their defensive strategy.

George Carr frowned, he had done a lot of research on Zhang Mao, and knew that this guy liked to use tricks, or rather like to be smart. And he is very confident, and it can also be said to be arrogant. So his words are not necessarily false, he must think that others can't guess him.

"Our plan remains the same, but we need to strengthen the bag against him, we have to pay extra attention to his running route, if the Lakers want to focus on him, they will definitely set up a lot of cover for him, we have to pay attention to delaying and blocking, suppressing their passing, blocking the passing line, and finding a way to use better tacit understanding and defense to make their cover counterproductive"

George Carr doesn't know if he guessed right, but he is not afraid to take some risks today, supersonic is not the last time people are sleepy, even if the physical strength has not yet recovered to the best state, at least in terms of morale, now the location is on their side, even if the guess is wrong, it may not be impossible to win the game, why is he afraid?

Today's "Key Arena" doesn't know what tricks he played, Zhang Wei entered the stadium and found that there were a lot fewer Asian and Chinese fans than in the last game, which is a bit abnormal, it stands to reason that he performed well in the last game, and there should be more yellow faces in the stadium today.

"No matter what tricks you play, my koala baby will kill you today!"

Zhang Qi took the initiative to mock Payton when he high-fived Payton before the game, but this was actually a sign of lack of confidence, and he began to get nervous......

Peyton naturally didn't bother to pay attention, he wasn't stunned, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the DPOY.

The Lakers' starting lineup changed today, with the Magic back in the starting lineup and staying on the court for a long time.

This is a decision made by Harris after weighing the pros and cons, and they need to have enough weight in the center to maximize Zhang's attack.

In the Lakers, only the Magic has this ability at the moment, even if it is necessary to bear the holes in the defense for him, they have to do it.

SuperSonics starters: Gary Payton 92 (+0), Jose Hawkins 82 (+0), Schramf 82 (-2), Sean Kemp 89 (+1), Elvin Johnson 72 (+1).

Lakers starters: Van Exel 84 (-1), Cebaros 86 (+0), Zhang 89 (+1), Magic 84 (+1), Eldon Campbell 82 (+1)

These five are the five most capable players on the Lakers' books, Zhang Qi also took a look at the state of his teammates before the game, fortunately the last game was not a big defeat, although they are not as good as the first game today, but at least not all the red, at least there is a forty percent win rate.

After the start of the game, Campbell finally won the next scrum, which seemed to be a good sign.

Zhang Yu hit the first jump shot, completely ignoring Schramf's defense, and faced the camp who made up for the defense in front of him without the slightest hesitation, and shot and hit.

George Carr guessed right, the Lakers players set up a lot of cover for Zhang Qiu today, and the latter was also very decisive, jumping up and shooting almost at the slightest opportunity, taking advantage of his height and arm span to be difficult to block.

This style of play is a tactic only used by teams with superstars, and once the superstar has a good hand, it is not a problem to cut three or forty points with the help of the whole team.

This seems to be very similar to the Spurs' desperate gamble in the final game, when the Spurs put all their hopes on the "general".

The Lakers also played a routine today, but they used it in the second game, which shows that Harris is much more courageous than Bobby Hill, who has been fired.

Zhang Fu announced that he had succeeded in his first attack, and then he was ready to use his personal ability to continue the strong attack, and he had always liked this savior-like feeling.
