The Heat's bench, which has a fight with the Lakers, is probably the best in the entire league.

Anyway, Lu Xiaofeng looked at it, except for Wang Zhizhi, there was no one he was familiar with, let alone called out his name.

To the relief of Milicic and Lakers fans, the Heat replaced O'Neal, and with his current weight and stamina, he couldn't keep up with the pace for a long time.

On the Lakers' side, Lu Xiaofeng also rested.

Kobe Bryant and Wade each took the rotation lineup and continued to fight.

Without O'Neal, the Heat's huge advantage on the inside no longer exists, "Little Fresh Meat" Milicic can show his skills again, and Kobe Bryant can finally easily break into the Heat's interior line.

However, the Lakers' interior line is also unguarded.

Because of O'Neal's departure, the Lakers' defensive focus can be shifted to Wade, but he has changed his previous style of play, from an assaulter to a playmaker, no longer scoring by himself, but after attracting the bag, he frequently sent wonderful passes, and two Jones hit three-pointers one after another.

Therefore, in the last few minutes, the Lakers and the Heat were still evenly matched.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 38:37, such a high score, on the one hand, it reflects the strong offensive ability of the two teams, but it also shows that the defense of the two teams is useless.

The star players on both sides played a two-eyed performance, on the Lakers side, Kobe Bryant scored 20 points in a single quarter, Lu Xiaofeng scored 5 points, 3 boards, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and O'Neal easily scored 10 points and 5 boards on the Heat side, Wade was 15 points and 4 assists.

Milicic, who was pinned on by Lakers fans, avoided O'Neal's ravages and scored 6 points and 2 boards in more than four minutes of playing time, which can be regarded as decent.

However, at the beginning of the second quarter, "Little Fresh Meat" finally ushered in the bloody mouth of "Big Shark", and was immediately beaten back to its original shape.

O'Neal, who had a few minutes of rest, came on the court at the beginning of the second quarter and gave Milicic a blow to the head as soon as he came up.

Just like a player playing guard meets Jordan, and a player playing center meets O'Neal, he can't help but want to "break ground on Tai Sui's head", Lu Xiaofeng broke through and gave Milicic to the free throw line.

O'Neill has been attracted away by Lu Xiaofeng, Milicic is in the vacant position, it is said that he only needs to honestly make a mid-range shot, he also has that ability.

But when he took the ball, O'Neal was sideways to him under the basket, which seemed to be a good opportunity.

So, Milicic got excited, dribbled into the three-second zone with a stride, jumped up two meters from the basket, and wanted to dunk on his head from O'Neal.

I have to say that Milicic's courage is commendable!

However, dreams are like the sun, which can be seen when you look up, but it is far away from reality.

O'Neill was old, fat, and couldn't jump, but Milicic, who flew high, still couldn't escape his giant spirit palm, and with a "snap", the basketball flew out of his hand, and Milicic staggered and took several steps back to avoid falling to the ground.

This is not the end, back to the offensive end, pushing Milicic into the three-second zone, O'Neal turned, stretched his arms, spread his legs, sat back with his big butt, and squeezed the slimmed Milicic under the basket.

"Beep!"

Milicic had both hands on O'Neill's shoulders, and the referee couldn't look at it and blew a foul decisively.

But Milicic just caught his breath, and after the Heat served from the sideline, O'Neal came again.

O'Neal was in a position on the bottom line, leaning Milicic the back, and as soon as he received the ball, the referee blew for another foul.

There is no way, Milicic's small body is too thin compared to O'Neill's fat body, and he is inexperienced, and the action of pushing people is too obvious, and the referee is embarrassed not to blow it.

Less than a minute after the start of the second quarter, the "little fresh meat" was swallowed by the "big shark" in one bite, but it was not enough to even plug the teeth.

Milicic's eyes were full of despair, and he walked to the bench with a blankness, the power of the first center was a little beyond his imagination, and he hit him hard, and he didn't know if his fragile little heart could stand it.

Tang Shuai had no choice but to send the veteran Grant, let's just be regarded as cannon fodder, a few more times, the cannon fodder is gone.

O'Neal attacked for the third time and finally scored, and Grant's defense didn't make much difference.

However, when it comes to the defensive end, O'Neal's sweeping majesty is gone.

With Grant's cover, Lu Xiaofeng broke through, changed direction in front of his body, and after deceiving O'Neal, he suddenly accelerated, went straight to the basket, and made a layup while causing O'Neal's foul and playing a two-plus-one.

Just like that, you go back and forth, both sides have their own absolute advantages, and they play smart and resolutely, and the score on the field has been inseparable.

Although the Lakers have been leading, the biggest point difference is only eight points in the first quarter.

Until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.

O'Neal, who didn't enjoy the "shark slashing tactic" tonight, was on the court again with two minutes left as usual, because he had already committed five fouls.

Kobe Bryant's eyes were on fire, and every time he rushed into the inner line, he leaned on O'Neal, although O'Neal also gave Kobe two big hats, but he was also fouled three times by Kobe, which can be described as "losing both".

Coupled with the two fouls paid on Lu Xiaofeng, O'Neal had five fouls in the middle of the fourth quarter, and Dafan had to put him on the bench until the final two minutes of the decisive moment.

Now the score on the court is 110-109, and the Lakers lead by one point.

As soon as O'Neal came on the court, it was immediate, because of the limitations of the "shark cutting tactic", the Lakers did not dare to deliberately foul O'Neal, allowing him to receive basketball in the low post.

With a simple forward turn and small hook, O'Neal pressed Mime to shoot and score, overtaking the score.

Needless to say, Kobe Bryant took the basketball from Lu Xiaofeng's hand as soon as he arrived in the front court, waved his left hand, signaled his teammates to pull away, and then Mime ran up.

It's also one of the key ball tactics that the Lakers have practiced countless times.

Mime was a cover, Kobe Bryant got rid of Wade, and at this point, O'Neal certainly wouldn't bet that Kobe couldn't shoot, and he also ran out with Meme.

In the face of O'Neal's misplaced defense, Kobe dribbled with his left hand, changed direction in front of his body, the basketball came to his right hand, and his body paused, and it seemed that he was about to make a quick stop jump shot, causing O'Neal to take a step forward, but Kobe suddenly started and forcibly rushed over from the right, and O'Neal could only chase hard.

"Beep!"

Bryant made a layup, O'Neal blocked, Bryant fell out, and after the basketball hit the rebound, it didn't fall into the basket, but the referee blew a foul.

There's nothing to say, O'Neal hitter fouled.

O'Neal didn't say a word, didn't blame the referee for blowing the penalty, and went off the court with 25 points + 13 rebounds + 3 assists + 3 blocks.

And Kobe, who beat the "old enemy", finally relaxed, and before the free throw, he laughed with Nicholson on the sidelines.

Kobe Bryant hit both free throws, 112-111, and the Lakers took the lead again, with one minute left on the clock.

Kobe Bryant has 50 points, and in the matchup with O'Neal, he has already won.

However, the game is not over yet, and the Heat, without O'Neal, are not ready to surrender, and Wade, who has already scored a double-double, stepped up.

It was also covering, breaking, and making kills, but the foul was replaced by Kobe, his chase, although he destroyed Wade's layup, but also paid for the foul, and unconsciously, Kobe Bryant's fouls reached five times, but fortunately, time was running out.

At the critical moment, no one dropped the chain, Wade also hit both free throws, and the leading side was replaced by the Heat.

After the Lakers asked for a timeout, Kobe Bryant singled again, and there was silence in the arena, as if a pin could be heard dropping.

There were more than forty seconds left, although there was plenty of time, but the team was still one point behind, Kobe Bryant did not deliberately waste time, and launched an attack as soon as he received the ball.

This time, he didn't call for cover and was ready to single out Wade.

The right hand dribble suddenly started, and after a sharp stop after encountering Wade's block, he turned around, dribbled with his left hand, immediately changed direction in front of the body, the ball reached the right hand, and once again accelerated to break through, and finally got rid of Wade's defense and entered the penalty area.

Without O'Neal's Heat inside, he was no longer in Kobe's eyes, and when he stepped into the three-second zone, he went straight to the basket.

Overtaking again, just around the corner.

"Beep!"

The man under the basket flipped on his back, Kobe Bryant hit a layup, and at the same time as the ball went in, the referee's whistle sounded.

Two plus one?

But before Kobe Bryant could celebrate, the gesture of the baseline referee sent him from heaven to hell.

"Shh

Of course, the fans also saw the referee's gesture, and there were boos for a while.

It's actually an offensive foul!

At some point, Haslem stood in front of Kobe Bryant, and with a collision, Haslem fell straight out.

Kobe Bryant immediately approached the referee and began to theorize, however, the fouls of this era cannot be changed, and besides, there are slow-motion replays on the big screen, and Haslem is indeed standing firmly outside the reasonable collision zone.

With 30 seconds left in the game, Kobe Bryant also followed in O'Neal's footsteps, leaving the court with six fouls and could only reluctantly walk to the bench.

The most comic scene appeared, the live broadcast of TNT, divided the screen into two halves, and gave O'Neal and Kobe Bryant a close-up at the same time, the two biggest protagonists of the Christmas game, in the final moments of deciding the outcome of the game, actually sat on the sidelines.

"Haha! Shaq and Kobe Bryant have formed a new version of the 'OK' combination - the sideline spectator group, is this the biggest audience in history? ”

Barkley couldn't help but tease again.

Because of Kobe's mistakes, the situation on the court was unfavorable to the Lakers all of a sudden.

The Heat have a one-point lead, and both teams have one offensive opportunity each, but once the Heat scores, the Lakers will have a hard time.

And the Heat also asked for a final timeout, and this last offense was inevitable.
