Chapter Forty-Nine: The Founder of Shark Cutting
The two sides entered the halftime break, this time Rick Pitino began to set up nervously, in the first half the Celtics once led by 14 points, and the situation on the court was also a draw for the Lakers and Celtics, in this case the Celtics naturally have to be arranged. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick.
"We can play like that in the second half, and I remember Jonny using a solution when he played the Lakers last season." Rick Pitino smiled mysteriously, and when Johnny heard it, he was confused, but after thinking about it again, Johnny laughed.
"Foul tactics?"
"That's right, it's foul tactics, or a proper term used now - cutting sharks, Jonny is the founder of cutting sharks, you should be clear about the restrictions of cutting sharks on O'Neal, as long as we limit O'Neal, then we can win this game." Rick Pitino said with a smile, and then he began to arrange the players on the court in the second half, because to implement the shark slashing tactic, the team's main interior line naturally cannot all play.
"In the second half, Derek you continue to play, Mark, you play, remember, foul Shaquille O'Neal at every opportunity, and Jonny hits the inside more and makes more fouls on O'Neal, we play like this at the beginning of the second half, just remember one thing, keep fouling O'Neal." Rick Pitino made a specific arrangement, and then the second half began.
The players walked out of the locker room, and in the players' tunnel, the Celtics met the Lakers who also walked out of the locker room.
But Jonny laughed inwardly: "The founder of the shark is going to be powerful!" ”
At the beginning of the second half, it was the Celtics' offense, O'Neal didn't know that the Celtics had arranged a whole set of tactics against him, he was still very leisurely wandering on the inside, and as a result, Jonny deliberately made a foul, at this time O'Neal had 3 fouls, but he still didn't pay attention.
Jonny hit both free throws from the free throw line, and the Celtics' shark-cutting tactics officially began.
Then, the Lakers attacked. O'Neal had just stood on the other side of the half, and Mark Blunt went up and scratched it hard, fouled, and O'Neal was stunned. A familiar scene came again, the shark cutting tactic, O'Neill couldn't help but look at Johnny with resentful eyes, he still remembered that the shark cutting tactic was made by Johnny, and Johnny still owed him a meal!
O'Neal walks to the free-throw line. There were two free throws without any suspense, and then O'Neal walked up to Jonny's side: "Boy, you have to treat me to dinner." ”
Jonny was stunned for a moment, but didn't respond, just nodded. Then, the Lakers collapsed, O'Neal fell into a foul crisis, and the Lakers, who are still very dependent on O'Neal, were directly defeated by the Celtics with a yankuai offensive impact.
In the third quarter, the Lakers basically didn't score much, and the Celtics relied on 32:15 in the third quarter to go from a 5-point lead in the first half to a 22-point lead. The Lakers were defeated, and the Celtics sealed the game at the end of the third quarter, and then, it was time for the two teams to practice the bench, and Jonny went off the court to sit on the bench to rest.
At this time, O'Neill's tease suddenly rushed out, pulled Jonny's ass and sat down in front of the technical table.
"Jonny, I don't care, you have to treat me to dinner today." O'Neill shook his big fat face and said, and Jonny was completely speechless.
"Yes."
Jonny replied that it was okay. But O'Neill was clearly not satisfied with Jonny's simple response: "Just one meal is obviously not enough, after all, you have already done a great deal of damage to my fragile little heart. ”
Jonny looked at O'Neill and pouted, "Then what else do you want." ”
"Hey, buddy. Don't have this expression, I think you seem to have a leg with that little girl, let her find some beautiful women to come out and have fun, right? O'Neill said, shaking Jonny's shoulder.
Jonny thought about it, and was a little embarrassed, it was true that Jonny created this shark slashing tactic, and it did cause tons of damage to O'Neal. It's a bit embarrassing for Jonny to think about this, after all, the shark hacking tactic is indeed a very strong shackle for O'Neal, an inside supergiant.
"Okay." Jonny replied very briefly.
O'Neill was happy at this moment: "Okay, I'll contact the location, and you will contact the beauty." ”
As soon as Jonny saw that the two had negotiated a "compensation agreement", he got up and left. At this time, O'Neill looked at Jonny's back and complained inwardly: "This guy can't laugh, right?!" ”
In fact, O'Neal didn't know, Jonny kept laughing, Jonny knew that in the face of O'Neal's teasing, he must not laugh, as soon as he laughed O'Neal, he would be more proud, and the whole person would be even more crazy, and Jonny didn't want to be the focus of the audience when he sat off the court, so he could only endure it and not laugh.
The game ended quickly, with Celtic away 117; 100 wins, Jonny cut 44 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Jonny played very versatile throughout the game, in fact, according to a theory of later generations, when a good player controls all the ball, it is not surprising to play such statistics, and this argument is specifically referred to by later generations LeBron James.
And now Jonny is this style of play, almost every game The Celtics have the ball in the hands of Jonny, but unlike LeBron James in later generations, Jonny has no one in the team to get the ball, so he has to control all the ball. And the LeBron James of later generations, in the first eight seasons of his career, was indeed in the same state as Jonny, but later, Wade could take the ball during the Heat period, and Irving could take the ball during the Cavaliers, but LeBron James still monopolized the ball, and then brushed up god-level data, and Jonny played down, which obviously proved that this style of play is very conducive to brushing data.
After the game, Jonny first contacted O'Neal to determine the time and place, and then called Julia Roberts, said that he had dinner in the evening, cleaned up, and went back to the hotel. According to the team's arrangement, the Celtics will have a day of rest in Los Angeles and then move on to the next stop, Phoenix, which was supposed to be the next away game on the night of the previous game when the team has back-to-back games.
However, because the Celtics were indeed very tired from the blizzard, the league granted the Celtics a day off in Los Angeles.
Jonny returned to the hotel, tidied up, asked Rick Pitino for leave, got into O'Neill's car at the door of the hotel, went to the nightclub O'Neill had found, and met Julia Roberts. (To be continued.) )xh118
