The game is about to start with players from both sides entering the field. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The starting lineup for this game for the Magic team is point guard Brian Shaw, split Gerald Wilkins, small forward Derrick Strong, big forward Hores Grant, and center Shaq O'Neal.

Due to the season reimbursement of star Anfernee Hardaway, the Magic team is not as strong as it reached the Finals two years ago, but because of O'Neal's existence, they still have a 9-5 record since the start of the season, ranking third in the East, and the Magic is still a playoff-level team.

The referee entered the field, and the players from both sides also set up their positions.

O'Neill and Tony are ready to start jumping balls.

As the referee threw the ball high into the air, O'Neal and Toney jumped high almost at the same time, and they clicked on the basketball in the air almost at the same time, and it was clear that O'Neal had more power and he won the jump ball.

Although the jump ball failed, Tony didn't feel any frustration, he shook his head, moved his neck, and quickly returned to the defense.

The two sides fell into a positional battle, with Brian Shaw getting rid of Fisher through Grant's pick-and-roll and then hitting the ball to O'Neal under the basket.

O'Neal turned his back to Tony, he looked around and began to turn his back on Tony.

The tremendous force came again and again, as if a truck had hit him, and Tony's chest was painful, but he still held on to O'Neal and didn't give an inch.

O'Neill was also secretly frightened, he didn't expect this guy's strength to be surprisingly large, and he could resist his back singles head-on, although he didn't use all his strength, but this is still not something that an ordinary center can compete with.

Thinking of this, O'Neill's strength couldn't help but increase a little more.

A greater force came, and Tony gradually felt that he was about to lose his ability to withstand O'Neal, and his steps began to retreat little by little uncontrollably.

O'Neal is not only a big man with empty power, but he is also very skilled on the inside, and after he pushed into a comfortable position, he suddenly increased his strength to open a small position of Tony, turned back very agilely, and then hooked a small hand.

Tony's consciousness was not bad, and when he saw O'Neal turn around, he pounced in time to interfere, and apparently his interference had an effect, and O'Neal's hook flicked on the neck of the basket and flew out.

Hawley had been stuck in Grant's seat before, so he took the rebound.

As soon as the Magic saw that the ball didn't go in, they quickly returned to the defense.

Although the goal was missed, O'Neill didn't care, and even a superstar can't guarantee that every goal will be scored.

Fisher pushed forward steadily, not too fast, he was pressing the tempo.

Although the slow-paced game was more favorable for O'Neal, the speed of the Magic's defense made it impossible for the Lakers to play a quick counterattack.

Fisher handed the ball to Eddie Jones, and Bryant was entangled by Wilkins and didn't have a chance to catch it.

Jones singled out Strong, and he quickly broke through Strong's defense and went straight to the basket, but he still gave up on the idea of being strong in the face of O'Neal's behemoth.

Because he caught O'Neal's attention, Jones noticed that Tony was in an open position, and he shoved the ball directly to Tony.

With no one in front of him, Tony received the ball and shot directly.

Suddenly, Tony felt a pair of big palms attacking the basketball in his hand with a thunderous force, and Tony hurriedly forcibly changed the position of the shot in the air.

The ball was thrown in an awkward position, and the ball bounced twice off the basket and bounced out.

A round passed, and both O'Neal and Tony failed to hit the shots.

The game went on.

.......

"Larry, it looks like this little guy really has two hits, he's almost finished a quarter, and he hasn't been beaten up by O'Neal yet." The magician said with a smile, and it was clear that he was very happy with the young man on the team.

"It's not over yet." Larry Bird stared at the game on the court, although he also thought that Tony was good, but he liked to raise the bar with the old enemy of Magic, "The current Shaq has not yet made a force." ”

"Come and bet it? Let's see who these two guys are. I bet $1,000 Tony will win! "Good things Buckley jumped out.

"Oh yes, Charles, I haven't been short of money lately, so I don't want to earn your thousand." Bird smiled and shook his head. "It doesn't matter who wins the matchup, at least Shaq can win the fight. You see that he hasn't made a lot of effort yet, and the Lakers are already eight points behind at the end of the first quarter. ”

As soon as Bird's words fell, Kobe Bryant scored a three-pointer directly against Wilkins' defense.

The audience erupted in cheers.

"Eh, Kobe Bryant, this little guy is good, but it's a pity that he was robbed by your Lakers." Bird's eyes lit up when he saw this three-point whistle, he actually liked Kobe very much, and he was very optimistic about Auerbach's desire to choose Kobe, but the Lakers started faster, which caught the Celtics off guard.

"yes, this kid is much better than Hardaway's so-called Jordan successor." The magic looked proud, and after he retired, the Lakers also gave him some shares, and he is now a small boss of the Lakers, and he naturally speaks to his own people. "And you see Kobe's technical moves are very similar to Jordan's, and it's typically a mini version of Jordan."

At the beginning of the second quarter, Fisher hoisted the ball to Hawley, who then passed inside and outside to Fisher, who ran out of the open space, and Fisher hit a three-point shot, and the Lakers chased the score back to two points.

This made the fans excited again.

But then, O'Neal shook off Tony's dunk and caused Toney's foul.

Although O'Neal's free throw was not good, he still hit it this time.

32：37

Magic pulled the score away again.

The game continued, and although the Lakers struggled to chase the points, the Magic could still suppress the Lakers with O'Neal's point.

Tony's ability to restrain O'Neal as much as possible had some effect, but he still couldn't stop O'Neal's bulldozer-style but hard-and-soft play.

However, on the offensive end, Tony also played very resolutely, he was not afraid of O'Neal's body that was a full circle bigger than him, he was very tough, although he was also blocked by O'Neal for a dunk.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Magic replaced O'Neal and played a quarter and a half in a row, which was even more physically exerting for O'Neal's huge tonnage.

Seeing this, the Lakers also changed the starting lineup, but they also relied on the bench led by Scott to recover some points when O'Neal was off.

By halftime, the Lakers and Magic had also tied 47.
