As the warm-up ended, players from both sides began to walk to the halfway line and stand in formation ready to enter the jump ball stage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Magic starters: point guard Brian Shaw, split Nick Anderson, small forward Dennis Scott, big forward Hores Grant, center Shaq O'Neal.

Lakers starters: point guard Derrick Fisher, split Kobe Bryant, small forward Eddie Jones, big forward Eldon Campbell, center Tony Marles.

Harris made a change in this game, he put Campbell, who has better rebounding ability, into the starting line, and worked with Tony to protect the Lakers' restricted area, after all, in the face of a monster that can average 27+12 per game, coupled with a rebounding master like Grant, Hawley's role is very limited.

The game begins.

Toney grabbed the jump ball, and he bounced faster than O'Neal.

The two sides entered the offensive and defensive phase.

The Lakers started in good shape, Brian Shaw is not a player known for his physical talent, so Fisher did not have much pressure on his defense, he first assisted Jones from the free throw line 45 degrees to hit a jumper, and then Grant forced Campbell to miss the rebound and was grabbed by the Lakers, he broke through Shaw's defense and went to the basket to attract O'Neal's defensive pass Tony put the basket to the basket.

The Lakers opened the game with two consecutive assists from Fisher, playing a 4-0 run.

However, the Magic's comeback came quickly, and O'Neal hit Tony inside in the next round, turning and hitting a small hook.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides were tied 13:13.

Harris was very happy with the situation on the court, and his change of lineup still worked, although Tony still couldn't stop O'Neal's offense, but the Lakers did a good job of protecting rebounds, they grabbed a total of 6 rebounds, and the Magic team grabbed 7 boards.

"Today Shaq almost beat Marles very embarrassed on the offensive end, Shaq has already scored three goals on his head in the first half quarter, and now it's the Lakers' round, let's see if Marles will choose to counterattack...... Oh my! Mars shook off Shaq with a change of direction and a layup, then hit the board and shot the ball into the basket! Isn't that Hakim's move? The narrator suddenly exclaimed, obviously Tony's performance made everyone's eyes shine, and he didn't expect this strong big rookie to practice such delicate foot movements.

"That's a good step!" Although O'Neill was shaken away by Tony, he was not annoyed, but praised.

Tony couldn't help but smile smugly when he heard O'Neal's compliment, it was indeed very difficult to score on O'Neal alone.

The game went on.

The Magic side was scored by Dennis Scott for Nick Anderson's three-pointer but was taken down by Kobe, and the basketball fell between Fisher and Shaw, Shaw's hand was a little longer than Fisher's, and he had already touched the ball, but the next scene caused everyone to burst into earth-shattering boos.

I saw Fisher's whole person directly crashing into Xiao, Fisher's body was originally stronger than Xiao, and under such a collision, Xiao suddenly stumbled and almost fell, and the basketball that had already arrived in his hand came out again.

The referee did not blow for a foul on Fisher.

Fisher had already grabbed the basketball at this time, and he single-handedly went straight to the Magic's basket and made an easy layup.

"Black Whistle! Black Whistle! It sucks! Some excited Magic fans at the scene saw this scene, and they immediately shouted angrily.

The referee also seemed to notice his mistake, but Fisher had already scored and he had no right to change the result.

Fisher's move angered the Magic's home fans, and for the rest of the day, the crowd erupted in loud boos every time the Lakers possessed the ball. The Lakers' players were undoubtedly affected by some of the impact, and in the next few rounds, they played a lot of iron, and the Magic took advantage of this opportunity to overtake the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by three points at 25:28.

"Don't be distracted by their fans, play at our level and strengthen defensively!" Harris kept comforting the Lakers players during the short break at the end of the first quarter, "Robert, you go up in the second quarter, Eldon you go to the top five, O'Neal's physical strength has always been a problem, the Magic will definitely rest him in the second quarter, I need Tony to conserve his strength, and when the time comes, I will deal with O'Neal." ”

Harris finished arranging the lineup changes, and while there was still some time, he temporarily arranged a few Kobe-centered tactics.

The second quarter begins.

Harris miscalculated, and the Magic didn't replace O'Neal in the second quarter, and it seems that their intention is to take the opportunity to expand the score.

“Fuck！” Seeing the smug smile on the face of Magic head coach Rich Adubatu, Harris cursed angrily in a low voice.

Looking at the court again, Campbell is not good to Grant at all, but when he meets O'Neal, it is really too reluctant, although he has defensive strength, but O'Neal's physical talent can be said to be the strongest among all centers in history, not one.

Campbell was like a raped girl in front of O'Neal, and Harris couldn't even bear to look at it.

"Oh! Oh, my God! Shaq squeezed Campbell away under the basket and forced him to dunk! It's violent! Didn't Coach Harris call a timeout? If this continues, Shaq will really kill Campbell! The narrator roared frantically, and O'Neal's dunk just made his blood pump.

Harris's face was cloudy, and he originally wanted to wait and see, because although O'Neal turned the river under the Lakers' basket, the Lakers' outside line, Kobe Bryant still had some advantage against Nick Anderson, and he had scored several goals so far in the second quarter.

Harris's tactics still played a role, but even so, the gap between the Lakers and the Magic is slowly widening.

With four minutes and twenty-five seconds into the second quarter, Harris finally couldn't hold back and called a timeout.

In these more than four minutes, the Lakers' interior line was simply blown up by the Magic, and the Lakers are now 9 points behind, and if they don't call a timeout, the Lakers will fall behind even more.

Harris put Tony on the court, he knew that O'Neal would definitely rest next, the Lakers needed to take advantage of this opportunity to close the score, the Magic lineup, in fact, once O'Neal was missing, they would be a fish belly team, and it would be easy for the Lakers to chase points.

But Harris miscalculated again.

Today, Ricky Adubatu seemed to have made up his mind to O'Neill, and he had no intention of letting O'Neill rest.
