Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hug

Although after Rambis came to the Lakers, the Lakers' winning rate has improved, and Rambis's credit is recognized.

Because Rambis's coaching style is very compatible with the Lakers, that is, offense, the Lakers play a very wonderful offense, but the Lakers only have offense, and the Lakers can be said to be the worst defensive team among the strong teams in the league.

is completely relying on the big shark who has reached the top to do whatever he wants, and Kobe Bryant has begun to appear on the support around him, and the most terrifying duo in the league has slowly taken shape, but Kobe Bryant is too young to see the future of this young man.

So O'Neal said that he wanted the Jazz to taste the bitter fruit of the loss, Kenjiro believed it, but it doesn't mean that the Jazz have no way, otherwise the Lakers will win the championship this year, just like their advantages must be obvious.

O'Neal moves slowly and can't help defense well, Kobe's defensive style has not yet been formed, and his concentration is there, but his physical strength is not yet up to full commitment at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

The shark came on the court with a heavy dunk and roared at Staples Arena with a domineering step.

Kenjiro also seems that the Sharks' contribution to basketball entertainment should not be underestimated, and the big stage in Los Angeles is indeed a good fit for the shark's own personality, and soon Stockton and Malone helped the team tie the score with pick-and-roll.

The shark slammed Ostertag with his big ass and another inside dunk, but they were all old opponents, and the Jazz players didn't care, and they still kept their rhythm.

Today is the Good Friday of Ostertag, although Ostertag is called the Great White Bear, but in the face of the big shark is still staggered, the opening force is too strong, after scoring eight points in a row, the shark finally retracted and is not bullying Ostertag.

The biggest move of the Lakers this year is to exchange for Rice, although Rice's statistics to the Lakers have dropped a lot, but the main lineup has enhanced the ability to shoot three-pointers, and hit two of the three outside shots in the first quarter to help the Lakers lead the Jazz by 5 points.

Kenjiro was not polite in the face of the Lakers bench, since O'Neal likes to score on the inside, Kenjiro also began to force the Lakers inside to help the team steal points, this time the Jazz bench knows that winning this game will be difficult.

Kenjiro filled the hole dug by the main force in two minutes in the second quarter, and continued to pull away the score, the Sharks saw the Lakers behind, and they came on the court again just six minutes after the second quarter, and the Jazz also put Ostertag on it.

After the Lakers had O'Neal inside, Kenjiro began to increase his 45-degree shooting from the left and right, as well as stepping back from the baseline.

Ostertag also tried his best to constantly harass O'Neal and prevent him from receiving the ball, although the results were generally poor, but O'Neal played very hard, and the Lakers immediately arranged for the main team to play.

After the Jazz main force came on the court, but Kenjiro did not get off the court, the offensive Kenjiro pulled out the outside three-pointer, and in six minutes Kenjiro scored six points on two of four three-point shots, scoring ten points in the first half of the quarter, and the Jazz overtook the Lakers by five points in the second quarter.

But the most eye-catching thing about Kenjiro in the second quarter is not his scoring ability, but how many times he assisted O'Neal in defense, two times in advance to steal and pass O'Neal's basketball, and once O'Neal knocked back Ostertag, Kenjiro opened his hat O'Neal on the side and back, which greatly boosted the team's morale.

In the second half, O'Neal played a few times and found that the consumption was a little large, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant stepped up to help the Lakers stabilize the situation.

Kenjiro played three minutes in the third quarter and scored two points, and then went to rest, the Jazz showed the quality of the league's strongest team, Malone scored consecutive points, plus Stockton hit three three-pointers from the outside, helping the Jazz lead the Lakers by 12 points into the final quarter, and the final quarter recovered almost O'Neal directly on the court.

Ostertag was physically exhausted, and had no choice but to let Kenjiro defend O'Neill, Kenjiro looked confused, and Kenjiro also felt what a dominant-level attack is.

O'Neal's offense looks simple and rough, but Kenjiro can feel that O'Neal's position selection is very subtle every time, and the moment he receives the ball, he can directly maximize the force to hit the defender to complete the attack, and the accuracy of the small hook hand is also the top existence in the league.

Kenjiro couldn't turn on the skill for a while, but it had little effect, and finally Kenjiro remembered that the number of fouls he had committed today seemed to be zero, and Kenjiro said in his heart, when is the time for retribution, but the movements in his hands are not slow at all.

O'Neal catches the ball and knocks Kenjiro away with his back, but Kenjiro pounces and slaps O'Neal on the hand.

The painful O'Neill stared at Kenjiro with wide eyes, and Kenjiro immediately raised his hand to signal that he had committed a foul, and the referee also blew the whistle directly.

O'Neal looked at Kenjiro's attitude very well, so he didn't care too much, O'Neal's free throws have to be said to be really bad, O'Neal's free throw shooting rate is not high, if he has a high shooting percentage, maybe his honor can be more, but Kenjiro, who soon wandered on the outside in the offense, shot.

The next time the Lakers attacked, O'Neal just received the ball, this time Kenjiro didn't wait for O'Neal to hit him, he went up and went up, and after the hit, Kenjiro turned around and raised his hand to look at the referee.

O'Neal only had one thought in his heart that hurt, because Kenjiro had two fouls and were in the same position.

O'Neal just made one of two free throws, and this time he missed both free throws because of finger pain, Kenjiro grabbed the rebound and quickly passed to the frontcourt, and Stockton assisted Hornace to hit a three-pointer.

This time O'Neill watched Kenjiro catch the ball, and the hand holding the ball completely avoided Kenjiro's direction, but O'Neill looked at the other party and hugged him directly, and O'Neal had an idea in his mind that he was hugged by a big man.

The referee's whistle also sounded directly, Kenjiro fouled quickly, and O'Neill didn't have a chance to play two plus one.

O'Neal stood at the free throw line and looked at the evil smile on Kenjiro's face, thinking that Kenjiro was deliberate, secretly scolding Kenjiro for being despicable, and feeling a burst of sadness for his free throws.

But this time O'Neal hit both free throws very aggressively, and at this time, the Lakers fans in the audience cheered, which made O'Neal feel even more faceless, and O'Neal tried hard to warn Kenjiro of the consequences of his foul.

"Tell you foul me, the conductor makes the Jazz lose faster."

It's a pity that O'Neal's next offense didn't wait for the ball to pass, Kenjiro hugged O'Neal again, O'Neal looked at Kenjiro with a desperate face, some of the fans in the audience booed, and some looked at O'Neal's expression from the big screen and smiled, so that the Lakers didn't have the heart to turn the tables around.

Kenjiro played only six minutes in the final quarter, and the Jazz also led the Lakers by more than 20 points.

The rare picture of O'Neal being chased and running in the game made many people see that they couldn't win the game anyway, so they could only use O'Neill to have fun.

O'Neal had run outside the three-point line in the last lap, but Kenjiro still followed up and hugged O'Neal to get his sixth foul of the game, and O'Neal could only look at the referee with a wry smile.
