The Lakers not only contributed 0 contributions to Kidd alone on the offensive end today, but O'Neal Jr. also failed to make any gains, and it is true that Vinn Baker's style of play is soft, but now O'Neal Jr. is softer, whether it is technique or awareness, he is suppressed by Vinbeck, and even his athleticism is slightly better, and he can't show it at all.

O'Neal Jr. was completely blown up in the first quarter, speaking of which, his template is the Wenbeck in front of him, but one of the two is a rookie with an ability value of less than 80, and the other is a top All-Star with an ability value of almost 90.

Mutombo personally dealt with Wen Baker, O'Neal Jr. still couldn't escape the fate of being suppressed, although that Lorenzen White was not a bull fork, but he was also a 10+10 grade of the best blue-collar workers, O'Neal Jr. still couldn't find a chance to score and continued to be ravaged; Replaced by Sam Perkins, although this old guy is far less athletic than O'Neal Jr., but his style of play is cunning and weird, and he can still use his experience and consciousness to torture O'Neal Jr., and today he is considered to be played badly.

Mason is sitting on the sidelines at the moment, he has started to join the team training a few days ago, but considering that the injury has not yet healed, especially for a short interior player of his large tonnage, the foot injury still has to be completely healed before playing safer, so Harris still put him on the watch list.

This means that once O'Neal Jr. can't be opened, the Lakers can only use the dual defensive interior combination of Mutombo + Big Ben, which will obviously make them more embarrassed on the offensive end, and the SuperSonics can send more troops to the outside defense.

Battle wants to stand up and volunteer to his head coach, don't forget that he has offensive ability, he has good accuracy in the middle range and the three-point line, so let him play at this time!

However, Harris once again ignored the Chinese interior lineman, as using him might solve some of the offensive problems, but what about the defense?

Wen Baker's side has to have footsteps, to shoot and shoot, to play with back, and in this era, anyone who can be called a technically comprehensive interior line is really comprehensive.

No matter how strong Battle is, but the heavy steps go up, I am afraid that he will be played to death by others, and it is really useless to have great strength.

In the second quarter, the SuperSonics continued to feature Starkerhouse and Vin Baker, Payton also contributed some output occasionally, and the Seattleans dominated both ends of the floor, something many did not expect before the game.

The Lakers' offense began to be stretched, after Kidd and O'Neal Jr. were killed, Mutombo and Big Ben couldn't be counted on at all, Finley and Starks were in average condition, they only relied on Zhang Zhu's offense to maintain the situation, and the result was that the SuperSonics became more and more adapted to Zhang Zhu's solo play, and the latter's efficiency became less and lower, and every point scored was extremely difficult.

The picture seems to go back to the Finals two years ago, when the Bulls found themselves in this awkward position after taking a 3-0 lead, and if it weren't for Payton and Kemp's own failure to seize the equalizer, that Bo6 game would have gone to overtime with the Bulls. And those who watched that game know that Jordan and Pippen no longer have the physical strength to play overtime that day, once it is overtime, eighty percent of the final victory will be supersonic, then the total score is likely to become 3:3.

Zhang Fu felt that supersonic was a pity at the beginning, if they could really pull the total score from 0:3 to 3:3, then the chance of winning the last game was at least 70%. Because any team will collapse from a 3:0 situation to win three games in a row, the side that turns the tables will be crushed in morale and momentum, and the supersonic speed that year is the closest team to 0:3 to complete the comeback, and it is not by the main players of the opponent who are injured, they almost made history.

Today, the supersonic players have clearly shown the spirit of almost creating miracles back then, and this kind of desperate energy is very similar to that of the past.

Zhang Mao suddenly admired Gary Payton in his heart, it is precisely because of his desperate spirit that this team can always create miracles, which is the real role of the leading big brother.

In the NBA, what is the quality of a team's leader, what is the quality of the team, even if you take the truth up to the national level, the role of a good leader is immeasurable.

"Joke, won't I fight hard?"

Zhang Wei said: "I'm not a bad leader! I'm the main character! ”

But the problem is that even if the Lakers players want to work hard with him, but after 39 games, the pressure accumulated by everyone in the past two months is too heavy, and it is difficult for them to burst out into their best state when they are physically and mentally exhausted.

That's the case with Kidd, Zhang Qian doesn't look down on the millions of dollars, but he only earns a few million dollars a year, this is a competition that can double his income, whether his wife and children will live in a big villa or a small bungalow in the future, it all depends on whether he can replace Peyton, people are fighting for their families and future, how can they not do their best?

However, being able to work hard does not mean that you can achieve your goal, and the supersonic speed of the year was hard enough, but the result was still a pity to lose to the Bulls.

Today, Kidd and O'Neal Jr., including Mutombo and Big Ben, are trying their best to play, but if they can't do it, they can't do it, and no matter how hard they try, they won't exceed the limit.

At this moment, Kidd regretted that he didn't practice shooting, he usually didn't work hard enough, because shooting can be practiced; Mutombo also regretted that he didn't train his offense well, and now that the team needed offensive firepower, he realized that he couldn't help; Even Big Ben secretly hated why he didn't have offensive talent, even if he could shoot a mid-range, the supersonic wouldn't dare to ignore him......

The Lakers players now want to score to help Zhang take the pressure off, but they just can't, and every shot will be missed by the opponent's desperate block.

In the middle of the second quarter, the SuperSonics began to wrap up more decisively and pay attention to cutting off the receiving routes of other players, so that the Lakers could not combine inside and outside.

Zhang Qi has slowly become difficult to pass the ball into the inside, Mason's ability to respond is highlighted in this kind of game, and players with him in the supersonic speed dare not press out casually, and now the Lakers only have 2 points that can play the ball, and they are all concentrated on the outside, and it is easy to be cut off from the inside and outside.

The supersonic pinched Kidd first, and Zhang Yi immediately felt isolated.

"Michael, we need you to attack with the ball!"

Harris said more than that to Finley during the timeout, but it meant nothing more than asking him to take the initiative to increase the offense, so as to attract the SuperSonics defense and help Zhang take the pressure off.

Finley agreed, but his "ball sense" was too ordinary, and no matter how much he practiced, it was difficult to have too good results. If it was a downwind game, he might be able to count on him to dribble and burst, but in today's finals-level confrontation, his dribbling ability is not enough.

Stackhouse played against Finley today, and he was also playing offense and defense, although he was first beaten by Jordan, who had just returned, and then was defeated by 18-year-old Kobe Bryant, which caused a lot of shame and made his status drop a lot.

But Stark House, who is desperate, is not a vegetable, you have to see who are the two people he lost?

These two people, one is a guy who has to cheat to defeat. The other is Zhang Zhu's most optimistic young defender. But apart from these two, there are really few people in the entire league who can eat Starkhouse, and Finley is at a disadvantage today.

At 3 minutes and 35 seconds in the second quarter, Zhang Fu watched helplessly outside the three-point line with a basketball, knowing that his teammates could not answer him again, so he could only do it alone. Standing in front of him at this moment is the German Schramf, this goods will always be released to Zhang Yu a big step away, which means "Vote, you can vote for you"!

Zhang Qi did throw a lot today, and this time he shot directly, but unfortunately it was another "bang", and he was almost beaten into a counterattack by supersound.

His shooting is very good, and this year's shooting rate is also high, but if you want to shoot such a high shooting rate, you still need a comfortable rhythm.

Zhang Yu didn't want to play like this, he knew that playing like this would not help the Lakers complete the overtake, if the feeling slipped, and he threw several balls in a row, it was easy to be knocked out by the supersonics, and the Lakers did not do anything less.

Schramf doesn't look much different this year than he did three years ago, although he has declined every year, but not to a great extent, and he is still in good shape, considering that there are very few 35-year-old players in the NBA who can maintain such excellent competitive form, let alone be white.

Today, every time the 35-year-old Schramf is broken by Zhang Mao, or manages to score a point, you can hear the supersonic home fans applauding the tenacious Germans!

They know how difficult Schramf's task is today, and even if he is not the only one to defend, it is a proud achievement to be able to reduce Zhang's shooting percentage to less than 50%.

Thirty seconds later, Zhang forced a break from outside the right-wing three-point line, shook off Schramf and immediately made a sharp stop to change direction, and then dodged Stackhouse, who came to wrap up, and fired the ball into the net with an unreasonable dry pull.

At this moment, the two people in front and behind have no way to face this kind of unreasonable shooting, they can only try their best to stretch their hands closer to Zhang Qiu, but whether they can enter can only see if God blesses.

God didn't bless them, but Sister Luck didn't come to watch the game today, so Zhang Mao's next solo effort missed, and it also allowed Payton to seize the opportunity to play a counterattack and assist Stackhouse for a layup to score two points.

This is the overall rhythm of the first half of the game, Zhang Zhu has been scoring, and he has played a lot of difficult scoring shots, but he has almost no consecutive scores, and he is easy to be hit after the miss, which is the unfavorable consequence of the offense.

In the last minute of the first half, Zhang Qi finally scored two goals in a row-

For the first time, he used a long-range three-point shot to beat the German, which is a manifestation of pure shooting ability, which is completely unreasonable and has nothing to say.

The second time was too much, Zhang Mao used Mutombo's rebound to launch a fast attack, and Supersonic fans saw Payton and Schramf clamping Zhang Zhu together, thinking that this counterattack was no threat, but who could have guessed that Zhang Mao was stunned to complete a dragon breakthrough and layup in the bag between the two people.

The fans at the scene could clearly see from the slow-motion replay that Payton and Schramf sandwiched Zhang Zhu like beef in the middle of the burger along the way, but Zhang Mao was stunned and rushed to the basket between the two people, and jumped up with the two of them to score the ball.

Fans in front of the TV can see it more clearly, and it can be clearly seen from the footage after the three people landed, Zhang Mao still relied on his strong core strength to stabilize his body, but Payton and Schramf fell to the ground crookedly, they couldn't stabilize their bodies after landing, and they could only use the way of falling to the ground to cushion the force after the collision.

Supersonic fans can't applaud the defenders anymore this time, because it's more like applauding Zhang Mao's amazing performance!

Peyton and Schramf are not small characters, Zhang Mao can win so neatly with one pick two, except for giving a thumbs up and saying "awesome", they no longer know how to express their feelings.

But it was useless for Zhang Zhu to score 5 points in a row, and the SuperSonics still maintained a 7-point advantage to end the first half at 57:50.

The Seattle reporter stopped Zhang Qiu at halftime, a big-breasted female reporter who could make Zhang Qi stop and be interviewed, only to see her smile and ask: "Leon, will you still say 'don't worry, leave it to me'?" ”

This is a naked slap in the face, Zhang Zhu's London accent that I don't know who to learn from has become a global buzzword, and now the little kids like to imitate his tone and say this, but at this moment, the female reporter said it, of course, it is not a meaning.

Zhang Qi's face became even more ugly, and he snorted coldly when he heard this: "This world needs more heroes." ”

The fans at the scene were amused by him, Zhang Mao's reaction was really fast, not only did he resolve the embarrassment with one sentence, but he also had another popular phrase in the future, because it sounded very smooth!

Of course, everyone also heard it, Zhang Zhu's words were obviously dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates. After the first half, he had 32 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and most of the team's points were contributed by him. It's rare to see such a situation this season, which shows that no one of the Lakers players stood up to help Zhang Qian today, and the burden was all on his shoulders, so there was this sentence.

The SuperSonics scored more evenly, with Stark House's scoring slipping in the second quarter, scoring a total of 19 points in the first half, Wenbeck 10 points and 6 rebounds, Payton 8 points and 4 assists, and Sam Perkins 8 points.

The Lakers' defense of the two offensive interior lines of Wenbeck and Perkins today is very unsuccessful, even if Mutombo can entangle Wenbeck, but O'Neal Jr. and Big Ben can't let the weird Perkins turn off the fire, and Lao Mu does not have too good restrictions on the all-round Wenbeck, 3 blocks did not make the supersonic interior feel afraid, but 3 fouls proved that Lao Mu also fell into the embarrassment of being isolated on the inside.

Mutombo said he wasn't omnipotent either, and he wouldn't play the best defensive player dominance in all games.

"Leon, you play in the fourth position in the second half, John starts."

Harris decided to make a big move, and since Mutombo needed help, let Zhang and Finley step up, so that Starks could add an offensive point to the team, and although he was not as good as Finley, he was better at attacking with the ball than Finley.

In the first half, Harris used Starks, but the effect against Starkhouse was not good, this is not just the relationship between Starks' unstable convulsions, this year's Starks have declined in speed and explosiveness, and now facing Starkhouse, who is at the peak of his athleticism, it is difficult for him to use speed to complete the breakthrough.

Therefore, it is no longer feasible to replace Finley with him this season, and now they can only put Zhang Fu in the fourth position, so as to solve the problems they are facing.
