"Damn, how can this guy be able to prevent it"

Webber looked at the big fat man in front of him and was secretly frightened, the two had a direct conversation in the regular season this season, in the two games of the regular season, O'Neal showed extremely tough ability, and the first Christmas game between the two sides, the Lakers' leading player, hit 50+.

It can be said that whether it is himself or the Lakers team, there is nothing to do with this big fat man, and in the end, even when there is really no way, the whole team shrinks like now, and allows the opponent to shoot and use the advantage of the number of inside to resist O'Neal, but now, just now, just now, after O'Neal pushed him hard and made him fly back half a meter, the former leader of the Los Angeles Lakers is once again like when the two teams met in the regular season, even if the Lakers' home line is surrounded by it, But it was also with one player on the left and one player on the right that he threw the basketball into the basket.

And O'Neal's offensive style is the most speechless, after all, for any defensive player, such a player who can ignore their defense still makes these Lakers players hurt, at least this big man makes the current Lakers hurt a lot.

"Beautiful offense, Shaq is too strong, in the face of Webber and Hill and Szczerbiak's combination is very easy to score a small sideways hook under this basket, as long as he comes to such a deep position, there is nothing the Los Angeles Lakers can do, he is still the best center in the league"

After the official timeout of the first quarter between the two sides, there were no surprises between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks, and the entire tactical setup revolved around Kobe and O'Neal. Here in New York. O'Neal's offense was clearly an increase in aggressiveness. In the first half of the first quarter, O'Neal used his deterrence more to create opportunities for his teammates, but his teammates were too iron, in this case, the former leader of the Lakers had to go on his own, and in this case, the New York Knicks player did a good job, at least after coming up two consecutive tough offenses made the Lakers a little struggling now. For the New York Knicks, they also need O'Neal's injury to get the team back to normal.

Of course, in addition to O'Neal's increased participation in the New York Knicks' offense after the timeout, Kobe Bryant's side was actually about the same, and in the opening game, the Lakers once again played the No. 5 tactic that was barely played in the division finals.

In the division finals, the Spurs' suppression of the Lakers' offensive system was simply outrageous, and it is difficult for the current New York Knicks to choke their offensive system like the Spurs, so the Lakers played the No. 5 tactic at the beginning of this game, but it was different from the previous No. 5 tactic. This time, the players who are on both sides of the lever of the No. 5 tactic are attacking more of Hill. This is also Zhuang Fei's intention, hoping that Hill can find his form from the beginning.

However, it is obvious that this method is not very right, because the former NBA popularity king should be gradual, so after the pause, Zhuang Fei also handed over the team's dominance to Kobe Bryant, which also proves that Kobe's finishing ability is indeed stronger now, and now the Lakers leader is not as nervous as Hill, a veteran who played in the Finals for the first time.

In this case, after the two sides changed to the starters more than half of the first quarter, the two teams went from the first half of the first quarter to each other's mistakes. Of course, the objects of these two rivals are naturally the two old rivals of the former Lakers, this year's regular season MVP Kobe Bryant and last year's regular season MVP O'Neal.

It's just obvious that compared with Kobe's offensive style, O'Neal's offensive method of pushing down a group of Lakers can stimulate the players on the court more. This kind of stimulation is not only effective for the players on your own team, but also for the players on the Lakers' side.

"This bastard"

After watching Webb throw this goal in O'Neal, Kobe Bryant on the side also looked at the back of O'Neal who turned away and thought that for him, the previous regular season was to prove that he was not worse than O'Neal, because O'Neal got everything in the regular season He has already taken the team to get it, and when he comes to the playoffs, especially the finals, he is here to prove that he is better than O'Neal.

In this case, O'Neal's mind is actually similar to Kobe's, after being swept in the regular season, although O'Neal doesn't want to admit it, but Kobe Bryant at this time has enough ability to challenge himself, and this year's finals is the final stage for him and Kobe to win or lose, and it is also the best stage for him and Zhuang Fei to separate the winners and losers, in this case, it is impossible for him to allow himself to lose or lose to Kobe and Zhuang Fei.

"The coach is still so powerful" Stephen Green, who was on the sidelines, said with some emotion, and Zhuang Fei on the side also nodded, this is the strongest opponent that Green and Zhuang Fei have encountered since coming to the NBA, at the peak of his offense was 100 S-level players, and now his ability value is also 95, of course, it is obvious that this value is already declining for O'Neal, this year will be the last year of his peak, if this year passes, his ability will decline quickly, after all, from A+The level of players fell to the A level, which is a difficult thing for a player who is almost 34 years old, so this can almost be said to be the last year that O'Neal has the opportunity to win or lose with Kobi, after all, O'Neal will continue to decline in the future and Kobe will remain in this position for a long time, after all, there is a generation gap between the two.

But anyway, although O'Neal was already going downhill at this time, when Zhuang Fei and Phil Jackson changed formations in the first quarter, the O'Neal at the end of his peak and Kobe Bryant at the peak of his peak were still extremely inseparable, at least in the three minutes after the timeout, when other Lakers and New York players were generally a little unable to let go, these two former teammates who had been very free because of their hatred for each other took over the game.

"Kobe, above"

After the nervousness at the beginning of the game, Webber also slowly returned to a normal level, and the Los Angeles Lakers' offensive routines were slowly played, especially the tacit understanding between him and Kobe Bryant slowly found the best feeling. Almost as soon as Kobe Bryant went around to the basket. Webb's pass had arrived. At this time, the pass just crossed the range of O'Neal's block and fell into Kobe's hand, and then the Lakers' leading player completed the dunk under O'Neal's nose again.

Such a dunk is not uncommon in this game, at least in the second half of the first quarter, but even so, Kobe's offense still reminds him of the humiliation of being dunked by Kobe in the regular season, so at this time, seeing Kobe Bryant, who was extremely arrogant hanging on the basket at this time, the leading player of the New York Knicks also looked at him viciously.

And it was also after Kobe's dunk that the two sides also began the rotation of players. And O'Neal was also substituted, at this time the score between the two sides has come to 22-20 after the previous Kobe and O'Neal took over the game, with three minutes left in the game, for the two offensive teams, such a score is not low, and the rotation lineup of the two sides is also a number of leagues.

It was a tight match, it was like it from the start, and in fact it was something that many experts could imagine, and in the opinion of those experts, the two sides were about the same strength. So it will be very intense, but in fact, there is a long reason why the two sides of this game are so intense. Both sides didn't actually play very well, and with the exception of a few players, the two teams played too tightly in this game.

Especially at the beginning of the second quarter, after the rotation lineups of the two sides came on the court, both the Lakers and the New York Knicks were not very in shape, but the good thing was that Van Exel on the New York Knicks side and Jackson and Paul on the Lakers side were normal, and these two people were also the core of the rotation lineups of the two teams, and it was precisely because of this that although the rotation lineups of the two teams did not look very good, they were not too bad.

Halfway through the second quarter, the score on both sides also came to 44-40, and the Los Angeles Lakers only led by 4 points on their home court, and in the Lakers' home game, where the game has been played for a quarter and a half, they can only trail this team by 4 points, which is definitely a very good result for the New York Knicks, so at this time Phil Jackson on the sidelines is extremely excited, if this point difference drags on to the second half or the fourth quarter, He is absolutely confident that he can steal one game on the road, and if he can win one game against the Lakers on the road, then he is absolutely confident that he can beat the Lakers at home in a 2-3-2 format to win the championship.

It's just obvious that compared with Phil Jackson's satisfaction with the team's performance, the New York Knicks general manager in the stands box doesn't think so, he said in the media that his team is ready to sweep and beat the Lakers every game, since the New York Knicks traded back Alan Houston and got Butler, his confidence has been very high, in the eyes of the rich second generation, Zhuang Fei's Lakers are just like that, If it weren't for the fact that many teams like the Spurs and Timberwolves didn't fight the Lakers in the final moments, the Lakers would have been able to win more than 80 games in the regular season? Can be crowned as the best team in NBA history? He has always believed that the hat of the best team in history should belong to the New York Knicks.

In this case, as long as he can sweep the Lakers and win every game, then he can snatch the hat back from the Lakers, but it is clear that he is overestimating his team or underestimating the Lakers and demanding too much from his own team.

Because after the start of the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers, who were only 4 points behind, suddenly fell behind by 12 points at the end of the half, and the score became 60-48.

And this sudden change also made the general manager of the New York Knicks in the stands, Xiao Daolan, a little unable to believe his eyes, this is like the regular season, when the Lakers run, the New York Knicks' point difference can be quickly opened, and now, the Lakers are not running, because the New York Knicks' retreat is very good, but it is obvious that at this time, such a change in the score difference is not caused by the Lakers' counterattack.

"Beautiful interception, Marbury's pass was cut off by Josh Smith again, the young forward's bounce is just too good, is Coach Z going around the front? But how does it not look like a circle? Josh Smith and O'Neal did not have physical contact."

Originally, many people thought that the first half of the game would enter the second half calmly with the anxious situation of the two teams, but at this time there was a sudden change on the court, Marbury or Odom's pass to O'Neal suddenly made consecutive mistakes, and it was not Webber who stood on O'Neal's side to make a three-quarters of the way around O'Neal, but the newly replaced Lakers young player Josh Smith, and it was these sudden consecutive mistakes that made the score between the two sides quickly stretch.

"This is a double winding front?"

When the first half was over, Phil Jackson's face became a little unpleasant. (To be continued......)
