"Shaq was in great shape today and once again carried Jermaine O'Neal to the basket."

"Yes, I seem to have seen that all-powerful shark again!"

"Textbook low-post singles, Shaq O'Neal was caught by Jermaine O'Neal and Jeff Foster, turned his back and hit a jumper, Jermaine O'Neal defended a foul, a very beautiful 2+1, and the difference between the two sides was narrowed to 2 points again."

"Jermaine O'Neal has 5 fouls, the Pacers replaced him with Mutombo, the Pacers' two main interior players, Jermaine O'Neal and Nn Hilario have now accumulated 5 fouls, and Jeff Foster and Mutombo, who came off the bench, have also received 4 and 2 fouls respectively, and if this continues, by the final moment of the game, the Pacers are likely to face the embarrassing situation of having no interior line to use."

Jermaine O'Neal, Dibeken Mutombo, Jeff Foster, Nn Hilario, since the Larry Bird period, in order to fight against the two major bugs of Shaq O'Neal and Tim Duncan, the Pacers have developed a good habit of collecting high-quality interior lines, so the Pacers' interior strength and bench depth have been maintained at the top five level in the league, and the Pacers have never worried about the interior line, but today everyone found out that the Pacers' four interior lines are still a little less, With Dwyane Wade and Shaq O'Neal fouling in turn, the Pacers could face no interior in the final stages of the game.

Before the start of this game, some bricks joked that the Pacers, who have hoarded a lot of inside lines, can finally show their strengths, since the old Nelson and Popovich carried forward the shark cutting tactics, more and more teams will try to use this tactic to deal with O'Neal, so the Pacers have been hoarding the inside line, and many people think that they are going to use shark cutting tactics to deal with O'Neal, but now it is not time to use shark cutting tactics, and the Pacers' interior line is almost consumed by the Heat.

"Boy, if you see it, I'll crush you all." After the penalty was hit, O'Neal, who was retreating, showed his biceps at Meng Xu, the meaning of demonstration and intimidation is self-evident, of course, O'Neill doesn't think that these little tricks can scare Meng Xu, O'Neill just wants to overwhelm Meng Xu in momentum.

"Hehe, big fat man, when you don't hide and hide on the defensive end, come and talk to me about this, you act like a on the defensive end, I don't think I'll be crushed by a." O'Neal made the Pacers' killing, as a countermeasure, Meng Xu has also been trying to find a way to make the Heat's fouls, especially O'Neal, but O'Neal is a very chicken thief, and the Heat seems to have a plan, and several times Udonis Haslem has been topped, and the game has only accumulated 2 fouls on O'Neal so far, but fortunately, Udonis Haslem has already committed four fouls, and he can't top a few times for O'Neal.

"Bastard." O'Neal, who originally wanted to ridicule Meng Xu, was instantly speechless by Meng Xu's irony, and O'Neal also wanted to treat Meng Xu in a dignified manner, but head coach Pat Riley arranged for O'Neal to have Udonis Haslem as a bodyguard, as long as Meng Xu wanted to go to the basket and single-handedly fight O'Neal, Udonis-Haslem would rush up as soon as possible, even if it was an early foul, he would not give Meng Xu this chance, Pat Riley gave O'Neal only one task, that is, in the first half of the fourth quarter, Doing everything he could to ravage the Pacers' interior lines, make as many fouls as he could, and everything else, he didn't have to think about it.

In the cheers of the audience, Meng Xu directly crashed into Jason Capono who came to defend him, after Antoine Walker was Meng Xu made two defensive fouls in a row, Pat Riley replaced Antoine Walker with Jason Capono , but only three rounds, Jason Capono was beaten by Meng Xu to death, originally before playing, Jason Capono was still looking forward to the showdown with Meng Xu, as long as he can play back and forth with the first person in the league, then he will definitely be able to become an instant hit, big contract, Xiangche and beauties are all out of the question, but now, Jason Capono even has the heart to cry, the speed is not as good as the opponent, and the strength is not as good as the opponent, how can such a player be defended? If it is tightly attached, it will be knocked away directly, and if it is far away, it will be passed by one step.

After knocking into Jason Kapono, Meng Xu was once again in an unguarded state, but if he wanted to go to the basket to find trouble with O'Neal, he had to pass the level of Udonis Haslem, no need to think about it, after Meng Xu got rid of Jason Kapono, Udonis Haslem immediately gave up the defense of Jeff Foster and pounced to make up for Meng Xu, before going on the court, head coach Pat Riley had already explained, pay attention to Meng Xu's movements at any time, and foul him in advance if necessary, So when Udonis Haslem is defending against Meng Xu, he doesn't have any psychological burden at all, and he can't stop you? It's a big deal to pull you off in the back.

Just after Udonis Haslem was ready to prevent Meng Xu and directly fouled him, he saw that Meng Xu, who was about to make physical contact with him, did not try to get rid of himself in disguise as usual, but passed the basketball over himself and directly to Jeff Foster who was behind him.

His defender got the ball, and the first thing Udonis Haslem thought about was to return to defense, because he couldn't expect O'Neal to wipe his ass, but it just made Udonis Haslem cry and laugh, he just took two steps back, Jeff Foster passed the basketball back to Meng Xu, looked back, and after he returned to defense, Meng Xu, who began to cut down along the edge of the paint area, was very close to O'Neal, this time, Udonis-Haslem could no longer stop Meng Xu from going to O'Neal.

After Udonis Haslem left, O'Neal became the last barrier for the Heat, so no matter what Pat Riley arranged, and no matter what O'Neal thought, now it can only be one-on-one between O'Neal and Meng Xu.

Looking at Meng Xu who rushed towards him frantically, O'Neill was also very satisfied, Meng Xu's reply just now made O'Neill very faceless, with O'Neal's character, he naturally would not give up, and O'Neill also knew that he and Meng Xu were the main factors that determined this game, whoever had the upper hand would be able to win the final victory, so O'Neill did not hesitate to give up the defense against Mutombo and pounced on Meng Xu.

"Bastard, this bastard." Just when O'Neal thought that Meng Xu would be like the last time, ready to play a difficult folding lever in front of him and then go to the basket, or foul himself with a hard fight against himself, O'Neal opened his eyes wide but saw Meng Xu passing, no need to think about it, Meng Xu's pass object must be Mutombo behind him, while scolding Meng Xu in his heart for being a coward, O'Neal had to turn his head to defend Mutombo, after he left, Mutombo was completely empty.

"Beep." The referee on duty blew the whistle, Shaq O'Neal was fouled on defense and Mutombo made two free throws.

"Well done, Dee Bakken." In this attack, Meng Xu can be said to have worked hard to successfully make O'Neal a foul by Mutombo, and after this foul, O'Neal has accumulated 3 fouls, so after the referee blew the whistle for O'Neal's foul, Meng Xu high-fived Mutombo with a smile on his face.

Free throws seem to be a common problem for all centers, and as a traditional center, Mutombo couldn't get out of this strange circle, and Mutombo scored the first point of the game with one of two free throws.

After being blown a defensive foul, O'Neal suddenly felt a belly full of anger, O'Neal didn't have a good sense of Mutombo, after all, as a defeated general, he turned over in his own hands, and stepped on himself to win the championship, who would not be able to hang on his face, so for Mutombo, O'Neill has always been very unhappy, of course, this time he was played by Meng Xu and Mutombo, and after making a defensive foul, O'Neal was even more unhappy, O'Neal was unhappy, Naturally, I want to take the basket to vent.

After Mutombo's free throw, O'Neal slowly ran to the frontcourt, directly found Mutombo, leaned sideways on Mutombo, O'Neal began to reach out for the ball, but O'Neal just received the ball, he felt empty behind him, and then the referee's whistle sounded, offensive foul, O'Neal turned his head and saw that Mutombo, who was still clinging to himself just now, was lying on the ground.

Fake fall, this bad thing must be fake fall! When did you old guy learn the European softass! You really make me look down on you!

Just when O'Neal had already organized the language and was about to scold Mutombo, Pat Riley on the sidelines called a timeout, after the offense was blown foul, O'Neal accumulated 4 fouls, according to O'Neal's character, he must not be able to contain it at this time, if he impulsively gets up again, the scene where the Heat finally moved back little by little will definitely collapse in an instant, so Pat Riley immediately called a timeout after the referee's whistle and was ready to rearrange the team's tactics and strategies.

"Well done, Dee Bakken."

"Haha, Dibeken, did you just see it, that fat man's face is all green."

After the pause, Mutombo was treated like a hero, starting from head coach Rick Carlisle, to Chris Duhon sitting at the end of the bench, the Pacers high-fived Mutombo one by one to celebrate, and when Meng Xu wanted to make O'Neal fouls but couldn't, one offense and one defense, Mutombo made O'Neal two fouls in a row, and he was definitely the hero of the team.

Since last season's major injury, Mutombo has not been able to return to the previous level, not only the main position was grabbed by NN-Hilario, but the playing time has also slipped to less than 20 minutes, but as a four-time best defensive player, Mutombo's defensive experience and defensive awareness are still very outstanding.

Unlike Mutombo, who was smiling when he left the game, O'Neill was completely different when he came off the field, with a gloomy face, and even threw the towel handed to him by the substitute player directly on the bench seat, in order to vent his anger.

"Shaq, you can rest for a while." Pat Riley's solution to the problem was also simple and rude, instead of chattering to persuade O'Neal to calm down, but directly let him sit on the bench and rest for a few minutes, without persuasion, he calmed down himself, and just now this offense and defense, O'Neal was whistled for fouls twice in a row, which completely disrupted Pat Riley's arrangement, O'Neal, who has accumulated four fouls, must rest on the bench for a while.

"Coach, I don't need a break right now." O'Neill is angry now, so after hearing Pat Riley's words to rest him, O'Neal immediately refused, O'Neal couldn't wait to play now, put Mutombo and Meng Xu, make good arrangements, and let them know why they are called Big Shark.

"Let's rest for a while, there are still a few minutes before the decisive battle, there is a chance." Despite O'Neal's repeated requests, Pat Riley insisted on resting him, after all, there were still more than 7 minutes before the end of the game, and it would be really bad if he was whistled for a foul.

Glaring at the Pacers bench not far away, the resentful O'Neal reluctantly sat on the bench, for this round of the series, the Heat has been preparing for a long time, O'Neal has been waiting for a long time, today's game, the Heat are full of desire to surprise the Pacers, as long as they win the first game of the series, the Heat will not only win the home court advantage, but also put a heavy chip on the balance of victory.

In the first half, the third quarter, and the beginning of the fourth quarter, the trend of the game has been under the control of the Heat, but in the past few tens of seconds, this offense and defense have disrupted all this, and after O'Neal had to leave the court early because of the accumulation of 4 fouls, Pat Riley needs to think of something else.

And Rick Carlisle, after seeing O'Neal because of the accumulation of 4 fouls, did not continue to play after the timeout, the hanging heart also calmed down a lot, O'Neal can not play, the Pacers can breathe a sigh of relief, of course, it would be better if they could take advantage of O'Neal's inability to play these few minutes to establish the victory in one fell swoop.
