However, Jackson did not rush to send O'Neal, in the first quarter O'Neal consumed a lot of physical strength, and Jackson believed that Kobe would handle it, but Kobe Bryant needed help.

But Jackson looked at his bench lineup and shook his head involuntarily, looking at the scene, the Wizards actually have more depth than the Lakers, what is going on?

However, when watching Gong Feng constantly guide his teammates on the court to keep running and constantly create shooting space for his teammates, Phil Jackson glanced at Gong Feng very formally for the first time.

"I remember who mentioned that there was another player in the league who could compete with Kidd for assists, but this player started to go down after meeting Kidd, and he didn't care much, but the Wizards were able to find their place in the Finals so quickly...... This young man should not be underestimated! ”

"Just wait five minutes, as long as O'Neal plays his own rhythm, no one is the opponent of the Lakers, and I also hope that Kobe's brain can calm down a little, this kind of game is the best refrigerant!"

That said, Phil Jackson didn't think he was going to lose this game.

But after five minutes, Phil Jackson regretted it a little, because the Wizards had already led the Lakers by 13 points at this time.

In these five minutes, Kobe Bryant is suffering the same treatment as Maddy, Hamilton and Gerrard take turns defending Kobe, sometimes wrapping up, sometimes just watching Kobe complete the shot...... On the one hand, he has to organize the team, and on the other hand, he has to fight wits and courage with the Wizards' defenders, and for the current Kobe, such a scene has experienced a lot of ...... It's a pity that Kobe Bryant didn't know anything about the Wizards.

This season, the Lakers have only met the Wizards twice, in the first game, Kobe Bryant easily got a triple-double, although he still lost that game, but Kobe just thought that the Lakers' interior was not good defensively, and Hamilton on the outside broke out a game.

Sure enough, in the second game, the Lakers undoubtedly won the game, which can be said to have dominated the situation on the court from the moment the game began, and the Wizards even had the intention of getting lost under the Lakers' offense and defense...... For such a team that was easily defeated by the Lakers, Kobe Bryant had no interest in getting to know about it.

Can anyone understand the pride of being a Purple and Gold Army?

But when he met the Wizards for the third time, Kobe Bryant felt extremely strange, none of them changed, but the momentum and playing style have completely changed, and the enthusiasm of the defense is completely incomparable with the second encounter.

Kobe Bryant only thought at this time that O'Neal's role was so great, and it turned out that having an inside fulcrum would help the team so much.

At this time, Kobe Bryant still relied on his own speed, relied on his tempered body to play, and relied on his own talent to play, rather than relying on his mature skills such as leaning back to play, although Kobe Bryant is also a rare scoring expert in the league, but Kobe is not a very mature scoring machine.

Kobe Bryant before scoring 81 points and Kobe Bryant after scoring 81 points are two people with completely different mentalities.

At this time, although Kobe Bryant was confident that he could succeed, Kobe was still the senior brother under O'Neal, and there was not the slightest crack between the two, otherwise it would be impossible for a team with cracks to defeat the Kings in seven fierce battles, nor would it be possible to sweep the Nets in history to win the championship.

The indelible rift between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal will be next year, but now in this historical time and space...... No one knows for the time being.

In five minutes, Kobe Bryant still relied on his ability to score 7 points, but the Wizards scored 13 points in those five minutes.

After O'Neal came on the court, he still didn't stabilize his side's form on the court...... Collins didn't make any substitutions after seeing O'Neal play, and the Lakers' side was still ready to give Bryant a break for a while.

But at the end of the second quarter, Phil Jackson looked at Kwame Brown again, the one who Phil thought would be completely lost once he met O'Neal, actually played even more vigorously after O'Neal came on the court.

No Lakers player will help O'Neal defend Kwamei, but Kwame uses all his means to defend O'Neal, and even uses a defensive circumambulation.

If ordinary people go around O'Neal, it will have absolutely no effect, and the current O'Neill is not a big fat man who can't jump, but a big killer on the inside, but in front of O'Neill is Kwamei, a young man who is taller and lighter than O'Neill.

O'Neal didn't have the slightest way to take the Kwame in front of him for a while, and the rest of the Lakers players didn't have much of a good way, but Fisher still relied on his body to press the bow peak and score under the basket.

Seeing this scene, Gong Feng pinched his waist and thought for 2 seconds, and then shamelessly asked Gerrard to defend Fisher and defend Fox himself.

And Collins was happy to see it.

You couldn't ask for more for a rookie member.

It's just that Jackson still couldn't believe this scene and looked at the bow peak who commanded everyone, shouldn't the young man be beaten down and get up somewhere? What hasn't happened yet, just surrender the gun?

Fisher faced Gerrard, who was no less than him in height, weight, and speed, and had no way to rely on his body to score directly, and as for the old ball ruffian Horry, there was no good way to face Wang Zhizhi.

Horry is not good at breaking through anyone, he is just a tall shooter in the attack, for Wang Zhizhi, who is staring at himself tightly and does not help defend anyone, Horry's height and weight are not advantageous at all,

The most important thing is that when the Wizards attack, Wang Zhizhi is very good at involving Horry's energy on him...... A good pitcher with a big man is very hard to find at any given time.

As for Fox who went to defend Bow Peak...... Fox is a handsome NBA player who lives off the court and is more eye-catching than on the court.

Although he is still at the peak of his career, he is not a very good player to break through and have strong singles ability.

When Gong Feng defended Fox, the first step was to let it out, but after Fox broke through to the inside line, he didn't know what to do, Gong Feng didn't have the slightest intention of losing his position at this time, and he was guarding against Fox's emergency stop shooting at any time.

Fox has long been accustomed to shooting in the open position and preventing other people's assistive defense, and he has long since lost much ability from offense, and all the Lakers players on the floor have already engraved one thing in their hearts, that is, when O'Neal is on the court, give the ball to O'Neal to deal with......

But what can O'Neal do if he can't get basketball now...... The helpless Phil immediately let Kobe Bryant continue to play, which stabilized the form on the court, and the invincible Lakers team came back again.

The Wizards' lineup played until the end of the half, although there was no way to continue to defend successfully after Kobe Bryant came on the court, but the Wizards led by Gong Feng still maintained their efficiency in the offense.

Especially when Gong Feng didn't help at all when O'Neal defended and blocked, he immediately made two three-pointers, and it was even more difficult for the Lakers to catch up with the score.

When halftime came, Phil's face made people see extreme unhappiness for the first time, and for the first time loudly began to reprimand the players on the court, even O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were no exception.

All the reporters on the sidelines, the host of the live broadcast didn't know what to say about this scene, the team that could lead the Lakers by 15 points at halftime, who could tell these people why?

It seems that only the Spurs have ever done this team, right?

Who can tell these people that the Wizards can actually contain O'Neal? Limit O'Neal's scoring?

Are there any teams in the league that can limit O'Neal? Is there really one? Maybe only the Spurs twin towers at their peak, can be limited a little?

Looking at the Wizards' players up and down, who can tell these people that this is an NBA team with more bench depth than the Lakers?
