The 76ers lost, losing the game on their home court, and now the score is 2-2.

Originally, the 76ers would not have lost the game so easily, but suddenly Robert Horry was killed halfway. In the first few games, due to the large point difference, Robert Horry's role was basically not reflected, and Luke almost forgot about it, let alone the other players. Larry also forgot that there were a couple of timeouts when he finally found out, but they were all useless, and the cost of defending Robert Horry was not quite large. If defending him is so big, it is quite dangerous, after all, O'Neal's threat is greater, but if you let others make up for the defense, then Robert Horry's passing skills will appear, basically there will be vacancies, and hitting shots is a sure thing, even if you don't hit, after such a trouble, the pressure on O'Neal on the inside line is much less, and the rebounding ball will come to O'Neal's hands.

With rebounding, there is a second chance to attack, and the Lakers have another chance.

Now Luke finally understands why the Pistons, who have always been the Pistons, won the game against the Lakers' "Four Kings", but lost the San Antonio Spurs Finals, which had already gone to the Twin Towers.

The answer lies with Robert Horry.

In the 03-04 season, Robert Horry switched to the San Antonio Spurs, while the Lakers signed Malone and Gary Payton, and of course found Hores Grant as a backup at that time. But they lacked a god pitcher and finisher like Robert Horry, and while Bryant was already maturing at the time, O'Neal's injury. Karl Malone's injuries, conflicts between teams and players, uneven hearts and many other factors, and finally the Lakers lost.

And with Robert Horry, the Spurs returned to the Finals after another year of lineup running-in, that is, in the 7 games of this Finals, Robert Horry hit 15 three-pointers, with a shooting rate of 48.3%. More importantly, the record of 42 three-pointers in playoff history, which was originally held by Jordan, was increased to 55 in one go, becoming the person who hit the most three-pointers in the history of the post-four in the post-four game. That's the value of Robert Horry.

That's it. The Lakers defeated the 76ers to win Game 4. As the losing side. Larry admits that he made a mistake in command, but even so, in the final moments, Larry still did not allow his players to use the "shark slashing tactic" that was produced specifically against O'Neal. This may be a kind of work ethic of his.

The fourth game is over. The fifth game was still held in Philadelphia due to the rules.

However, the Philadelphia 76ers are not in good shape right now. The lineup that defends O'Neal and restricts O'Neal's play has been broken, and this lineup is of little significance. If you can't prevent it, it's useless. The 76ers are not far from losing the entire series.

Is it really going to fall short? Luke thought to himself.

Luke was very reluctant, Luke came here to grab Allen at the peak of his life, when he was closest to the O'Brien Cup, even if they were facing the most powerful "OK combination" of the era, Luke did not give up.

What to do? Luke suddenly had an idea at this time, a very immoral method, but it was very effective, but if he used it, he would have achieved his notoriety in the NBA, just like Bowen.

The first thing Luke thought of was simple, and that was to injure O'Neal. O'Neal is the foundation of the Lakers' current team, and if he is injured, the Lakers' strength will be reduced by more than half. In fact, to be honest, the current Lakers without O'Neal are a team that can't even enter the playoffs, after all, the main deterrent is O'Neal, and after O'Neal left the Lakers, the Lakers were once sluggish and couldn't even enter the playoffs, even if they successfully entered the playoffs, they couldn't escape the fate of the second round. So this is the best way to make the Lakers collapse in an instant.

But Luke is not a professional, and only Bruce Bowen is a professional in the whole league.

Bruce Bowen was able to explain to the referee with a blank face after injuring someone, and Luke felt that he couldn't do that.

And there's a very important question here. How do you get O'Neill hurt?

Get blackfoot like Bowen? This is unrealistic, Bruce Bowen has only black-footed players on the front line in his career for so many years, such as Allen, Kobe, Gentleman Ray, and of course the worst is Carter, and the Flyers can no longer fly.

However, Bowen definitely never went to fight O'Neal and gave him a black foot. If it wasn't a leg injury, then the other injuries didn't make much sense, because then O'Neill could still play sick, but the spine was different. However, no one has done such a ruthless hand, and those who dare to make such a ruthless hand are all excluded by various basketball leagues without exception, after all, it is a matter of a person's life, and it will affect the health of life in the future.

In this way, this method is of little use.

So I had to think of the next way.

The next approach was inspired by Jason Williams.

Of course, it is still the self-proclaimed "slam dunk king" Jason Williams, who was directly hit by Marbury and retired.

Jason Williams once told such a story in his autobiography. The story of Barkley and O'Neill.

At that time, Barkley had not yet retired. Jason Williams called it "the preemptive."

The original text of the story is like this: "Using words to disturb the opponent's mind, and even provoke internal contradictions among the opponent, is a kind of tactic to attack the heart." The other, which looks more direct, but produces an effect on the field, may come sooner.

At the beginning of every game, I would pounce on the opposition box like a raging bull, puffing out my eyes and trying to grab every ball.

I'm probably going to take my opponent to the ground in the first move, scramble for position, dunk like crazy, and then roar back into my own box

line defense.

This style of entering the white-hot physical confrontation from the first minute of the game will definitely make many people timid, they didn't expect it

That's exactly what I'm trapping. I was mentally overwhelmed from the start. Because I know I'm not too talented

High, don't use your brains, an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars is not so easy to get. O'Neal should be the strongest man in the NBA, but he's not mentally strong. Every time I play against the Lakers, I will have a direct collision with him at the first time. I'm not as tall as him, but I'm just as strong, and this guy gets embarrassed by me every time. One time he finally couldn't control his emotions and started with me on the pitch, and we were both sent off.

I'm very happy that the Nets wouldn't have collapsed without me, but the Lakers wouldn't have been able to play without him. １９９９

- In the 2000 season, when the Lakers and Rockets met for the first time, Barkley was not injured, and he was also at the beginning of the game

had a tough conversation with O'Neal, and then O'Neal lost control of his temper and was sent off at the same time as Barkley, and as a result, the Lakers again

Lost. ”

The main purpose of this method is to anger O'Neill. O'Neal is not a good-natured person, and once provoked, he is likely to fight, and if he does, he will definitely be sent off according to the league's rules, so that the 76ers can get a victory.

But this one is extremely dangerous and uncertain. It is possible that my career will be ruined because of this one, and the most difficult situation will happen. It's Luke who is suspended, but O'Neal is back on the court and continues to play, so Luke's fight is completely meaningless.

In this way, Luke reached a dead end, completely unable to think of a way.

"Don't worry!" Larry on the side said. "It's not like I'm out of the question!"

"What else can you do?" Luke said in amazement.

"That's it!" Larry said, "Don't look at who I am!" ”

"Then tell me quickly!" Luke said.

"No, I can't tell you yet!" Larry said. "It's going to be a secret now!"

"When will the answer be announced?" Luke asked.

"Don't worry, you'll know in the next game!" Larry assured. (To be continued......)
