Chapter 346: The Story of Zhuang Fei and the Big Shark

(Ask for recommendation)

"Shaq, you're okay, there's no need for you to stay on the pitch all the time in this game"

On the Lakers bench at the Stamps Arena, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said to his most proud disciple in the Lakers with a worried and happy face, at this time, the Lakers boss's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he was very familiar with Shaq O'Neal when he was with the Bulls, and there were very few teams that could cause trouble for the Bulls in the East, and the magic led by O'Neal and Penny was just one of the few teams.

He knows very well what kind of person Shaq O'Neal is, with excellent talent and amazing ability, and the same super inside character and laziness have always been criticized by many people, this is a very lazy guy, even when the Magic beat the Bulls, this guy was lazy and lazy, and even when Phil Jackson decided to join the Lakers, he was afraid that he would not be able to control this guy, but what surprised Phil Jackson was that although this guy was also very average in his usual training, he was far worse than a madman like Kobe, but at least he didn't take off his hind legs, which also made Phil Jackson a little surprised, especially after the Timberwolves won the championship last season, the center was a lot more diligent again, and even the big guy who had been disdainful of free throw training began to get serious, and even during the game, there were not too many underestimates or evasions.

It can be said that this O'Neill is already mature, and Phil Jackson certainly knows why this big fat man has become mature, and like himself, it is the Chinese who harmed him. It can be said that this center has no less hatred for Zhuang Fei in his heart than himself, or even more. This makes this big guy always want to catch up with that Chinese and then prove himself in front of that Chinese. Phil Jackson was well aware of this, and even he was happy to see it happen.

"No, I'm in good shape right now, and I don't have to rest in the fourth quarter" O'Neal's breath was steady, so Phil Jackson glanced at it and nodded, although the Lakers and Timberwolves were tied at the end of the third quarter. But Phil Jackson is still a little worried that Zhuang Fei will have some other tricks, only when he puts O'Neal on the court will the former head coach of the Bulls be reassured, in the first two games the Timberwolves led by more than 10 points before O'Neal came on the court in the fourth quarter, but this year. The Lakers did not give the Timberwolves any chance to lead, it can be said that the Timberwolves were comprehensively suppressed by the Lakers in this game, don't look at the current Timberwolves and Lakers are tied, this is more because at the end of the third quarter, Pierce and Jackson threw four three-pointers in a row, and finally Nash shot the whistle, before the Timberwolves scored this series of points, they were already 10 points behind the Lakers, it can be said that this magical phenomenon cannot continue to appear, this game as long as O'Neal does not play in the fourth quarter, The Timberwolves basically don't have any chance to win the game.

O'Neill is so eager for the victory in this game, and he still remembers the fact that he was swept by Zhuang Fei last year. This breath has been held for too long, and only by completely defeating Zhuang Fei this year can the evil breath in his chest be given. So he's ready to play all the fourth quarters, not to mention that Jermaine O'Neal has pressed him so little, and he has the physical strength to do so.

O'Neal was thinking about O'Neal Jr.'s defense, in fact, at this time, Zhuang Fei was also thinking about O'Neal Jr.'s defense on the bench, although Zhuang Fei knew that the team would lose the time and place, but he still adopted the same tactics as in the last game, Pierce replaced O'Neal Jr. to defend O'Neal, but the process of this game was completely different from the last game, except that Ao Fat and Pierce were still excellent. The Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Szzebiak are no longer lost, this game they can no longer hit the home court with a shooting rate of only 25%, although the shooting rate of these two people is still less than 40% under Zhuang Fei's death, but with O'Neal's efficiency, this is enough, this game is played vigorously under the defense of Xiao Ao. …,

When Zhuang Fei brought Pierce to the bench, it was impossible to let Garnett go to the main defense, because the Timberwolves lacked a main offensive point for Pierce, Garnett had to assume his offensive responsibility and even need to make up for Pierce's offensive responsibility, at this time, Xiao Ao was extremely important to the Timberwolves, but this young center was lost again, and this game cannot be said that Xiao Ao was completely lost. At least under Zhuang Fei's repeated instructions, this center can still create some pressure on O'Neal at the beginning of the game, but as the game progresses, O'Neal plays more and more fiercely, and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, but compared with Xiao Ao, it is getting more and more shrug-off, which makes the Timberwolves almost completely collapse in this game.

If it weren't for the wave of magical three-point rain before the end of the third quarter, Zhuang Fei would have even had the urge to give up the game, all the problems exposed by the Timberwolves in this game were the same as Zhuang Fei expected before the game, such a big release of O'Neal was to directly let the Lakers easily implement the tactics, as long as the rest of the Lakers were not too bad, it was really difficult for the Timberwolves to succeed.

"Coach, O'Neal didn't get off the court in the fourth quarter," Green on the sidelines looked at the Lakers fat man on the court and said to Zhuang Fei next to him. In fact, Zhuang Fei also expected that O'Neal would not get off the court, because the Timberwolves are now all the main players on the court, and it is obvious that the fourth quarter is a big battle.

"Jermaine, stick it, stick it hard, stick to him and don't give him a chance to turn around easily"

Garnett stared at Robert Hawley and then shouted loudly to O'Neal Jr. not far away, O'Neal Jr. is his best inner partner, the two have almost formed the NBA's no-fly zone this season, it can be said that the two are the NBA's most feared pair of inside combinations, but O'Neal Jr.'s character flaw is also very mad for Garnett, last season when O'Neal Jr. was too impetuous and easy to eat feints, and now his impetuous problem has changed, but this temperament that is weak when it is strong has not changed.

No matter how Garnett shouted next to him, the Timberwolves center was indifferent, and after sticking O'Neal once and being knocked away by O'Neal, the Timberwolves center stood there holding his chest, and then O'Neal easily turned around and killed the basket to complete the dunk, after the offense was completed, O'Neal looked at Garnett contemptuously, which almost made Garnett directly catch up and go head-to-head with O'Neal. After thinking about it for a while, I held back.

"Jermaine, what are you doing, why are you so cowardly" Garnett looked at Xiao Ao with an angry face, and Xiao Ao bowed his head with some guilt, this matter is indeed his fault.

In fact, O'Neal Jr. also knows what his problem is, and he also thinks that he must resist O'Neal every time he defends, like Garnett did, but when he was knocked away once and felt the unparalleled power, the center forgot all about his previous courage, this year's shark is too fierce, definitely not comparable to last year's shark, he really doesn't have the courage to shake him now.

"Okay, Kevin, don't fight anymore, serve the baseline ball, just score the next offense" Nash comforted on the side, and after hearing Nash's words, Garnett calmed down and glared at Xiao Ao fiercely, and then prepared to serve the baseline ball.

The gap between the Timberwolves and the Lakers can be clearly reflected in this game, the Lakers' offensive efficiency is much higher than that of the Timberwolves, in fact, there is no superiority or disadvantage between the triangle offensive system and the run-and-bomb system, both are top-level offensive systems, but the success rate of the triangle offense is closely related to the tactical core in their own system, there are high and bottom ups and downs, and the run-and-bomb tactics are the opposite, the offensive efficiency is extremely stable, because in the run-and-bomb system, except for the organizational core Nash, the responsibility for the offense is shared, And many times it is extroverted and will not concentrate on a point, at this time, the Timberwolves' 50% shooting rate is a loss against O'Neal's 70% shooting rate, at this time, the Timberwolves can no longer defend O'Neal one-on-one, and they can completely flank the attack, although the success rate of the Lakers will be very high after the pinch, but it will definitely not be as high as O'Neal alone. …,

Now the situation on the court at this time is that after the Timberwolves score one with the overall cooperation, O'Neal is very easy to finish the offense after killing Xiao O'Neal, and then the next offense O'Neal will rest, let Kobe Bryant and Szczebiak play, so O'Neal will take a break and be stunned to slowly open up the difference.

Even if Garnett of the Timberwolves stepped up to take over the game at the end, the offensive success rate was slightly higher, but in the end it was still lost to the Lakers, and when Garnett took over the game, O'Neal also came out to take over the game, and in the end, the Lakers' offense was basically completely handed over to Ao Fat.

"Hmph, this game is just the beginning, I will definitely beat you this year" After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, O'Neal glanced at the Chinese on the Timberwolves' bench, and his heart was like some shackle had been opened.

At this time, Zhuang Fei on the sidelines frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

The score of the final game was 114-120, and the Timberwolves lost by nine points away, which is not too much, and if you don't look at the content of the game and only look at the results, the Timberwolves and the Lakers are still difficult to distinguish. And in this game, O'Neal scored 60 points on 25-of-36 shooting, and this center scored 60+ in three consecutive games, and this center is now in excellent shape. (To be continued) RQ
