(8,000 words chapter, the fisherman may not be able to come back tonight, so he can only make two in one)

"Oh, it's interesting, it's so interesting"

O'Neal looked at Grant Hill, who had just come off the basket, and almost stuck out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips with his eyes on fire.

Pressure, pressure coming from all sides.

That's how O'Neal feels right now in the fourth quarter of this game, especially after he turned down Phil Jackson's suggestion to give him a break off the bench.

When the fourth quarter of this game began, the Los Angeles Lakers, who had been attacking from the perimeter, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who had been avoiding him, suddenly began to attack and constantly began to try to attack inside.

It's difficult, it's really difficult, although O'Neal has prepared a lot for this game, and has estimated the degree of difficulty, but the way this game has been played so far still makes him feel incredible, he now not only has to lead the New York Knicks offense, but also has to face the sudden interior defense, in the first three quarters he can use most of his energy on offense, but now he can't.

However, at this time, O'Neal clearly felt that his whole body was burning and he had inexhaustible strength, which was completely different from the fatigue when he was dragged by the Lakers in the second quarter, because O'Neal knew that he wanted to be very excited, and the excitement was abnormal. Because thinking of the Lakers No. 8 who was about to defeat that Chinese and that idiot, he felt the surging power in his heart.

"Shaq. Although in this game, Kobe Bryant's kid attacked a lot. Perry and I don't attack much, but you can't just forget about us," Grant Hill, who came down from the basket, looked at his former teammate on the U.S. team and said with a smile, O'Neal's bloodthirsty eyes didn't scare him at this time.

According to the head coach's instructions, the fourth quarter is the time for the Lakers to really launch a general attack, and at this time, Hardaway and Hill, who played three quarters of soy sauce in the first three quarters, will become the main point of attack. As for Zhuang Fei's arrangement, neither Grant Hill nor Hardaway felt anything wrong, and it could even be said to be extremely normal.

O'Neal today is not a normal O'Neal, just as Kobe Bryant is not a normal Kobe now. In fact, after the start of the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson changed from the strategy of pinching the Lakers' interior offense before the start of the game to the current outside offense of pinching Kobe and Szambiak, and now the head coach of the New York Knicks does not dare to let Kobe be on the front line of offense under the deterrence of Kobe's 16 three-pointers in the third quarter, although releasing Hill and Hardaway will make O'Neal more tired, but if he wants to win, O'Neal must play like a god. You have to dominate the game both offensively and defensively.

Obviously, Zhuang Fei also guessed that Phil Jackson would do this, so at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he took the lead in making changes before the New York Knicks attacked, and the Lakers took the lead in suppressing the interior line of the New York Knicks on the offensive end.

"This should be the first time that Coach Z has taken the initiative to change his team's strategy before changing the formation in New York."

It was a great game. From the parity in the first quarter to the frenzy of the Lakers in the second quarter. and then to the big battle of Kobe O'Neal in the third quarter, and finally came to the harvest game in the fourth quarter, whether it is Zhuang Fei or Phil Jackson, they are ready to harvest the game in the first half of this quarter of the game, the Lakers hope to be able to complete the score as quickly as possible to overtake and pull away, because at this time O'Neal is resurrected, and the New York Knicks' group of outside three-pointers are also resurrected, they have the ability to suppress the Lakers like the middle of the second quarter, similarly, for the Lakers, The reason why the two teams did not dare to attack from the inside was also because of O'Neal's deterrent effect, if the scores of the two teams are close, O'Neal is full of physical strength, then it is very likely that the offense will be blocked, and when the time comes, it will be completely at a disadvantage, and now, with a 10-point advantage in his hand, forcing O'Neal to stay on the court in the fourth quarter, as well as Hill and Hardaway who rested for three quarters of the game, this is the capital that the Lakers can launch an interior attack.

Of course, perhaps for Phil Jackson, although he doesn't want to see the Lakers and New York Knicks play one-on-one from O'Neal and Kobe, but there is no way to do it, and his team and the Lakers have no comparison in terms of team variability.

But even if this game is to be decided by O'Neal and Hill and Hardaway, he is willing to believe that O'Neal can do it, of course, it is not only Phil Jackson who believes in O'Neal, but also other New York Knicks players and New York Knicks fans in the court, and of course, more importantly, O'Neal himself.

O'Neal is now very confident in his own strength, this is not without reason, in the previous Lakers, because of Kobe's rise caused his control of the team to decline, since he chose to leave the Lakers and choose to prove his dominance to the world, then he must prove to everyone that he really has the strength to dominate both ends, and now is the time for him to prove it.

Judging from the fourth quarter of the game, at least at the beginning of the game, O'Neal proved that he could resist Hardaway and Hill alone, and the other players of the New York Knicks can safely hand over the basket to him, and he can also take the New York Knicks from the bottom to slowly chase back.

"Coach, what do we do now? The difference is getting smaller and smaller, now it's only six points, and now it's nine minutes before the end of the game, what do we do now? ”

Madison Garden Square in New York, the Los Angeles Lakers bench, the assistant coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Stephen Green, looked at the head coach of the team next to him with a worried face, at this time he was also a little worried about the situation of the Lakers in this game, you know, now O'Neal's state is simply terrifying to him, such an O'Neal is definitely not O'Neal, who has declined due to injury in the past two years, but reminds him of the player who hit 60+ in two consecutive playoff games in the 2001 playoffs. Although O'Neill at that time was more domineering on the offensive end. But O'Neill is more mature now than O'Neill at that time. At the very least, the level of investment on both offensive and defensive ends was definitely not comparable to O'Neal at that time. This guy is now almost single-handedly suppressing the whole court on the court, although both Hill and Hardaway are performing well, but the Lakers' advantage is still being eaten away little by little, this big shark is not only not tired like installing a perpetual motion machine, but also seems to be getting more and more energetic. Such a player is really terrifying in Green's opinion.

However, what makes Green extremely helpless is that although he is extremely worried about the situation of the Lakers at this time, the head coach of the team on his side, Zhuang Fei, has been extremely calm, which also makes Green very depressed. He really admired his teacher's state of mind, and he was able to maintain this expression at this time, and when Green looked to the other side, New York Knicks head coach Phil Jackson was already squatting on the sidelines at this time, and he couldn't stand at all.

Zhuang Fei is not worried about the situation of the Lakers on the court? Of course not, it's just that he knows better what is going on on the court than Green, and although O'Neal has gone downhill in the eyes of many, he is still an A+ player with a 96 ability, for a player of his level. They were able to dominate the game for a period of time when basically no one else could stand in their way. Even if Zhuang Fei is here, it is useless, after all, he has neither Duncan nor Yao Ming in his hands, what can he use to deal with O'Neill?

Although O'Neal looks extremely strong now, it seems that he will not be tired at all, but Zhuang Fei does not think that he can always play with this kind of dominance from the fourth quarter to the last moment, because Zhuang Fei's eyes at this time have been paying attention to the black mamba that has now dived into the water, when O'Neal's dominance reaches the peak, and his performance reaches the most brilliant and arrogant, Zhuang Fei believes that the poisonous snake he released will kill him directly

"Damn, when will this guy stop" Looking at this big man who pushed himself to almost no foothold, Webb now wants to die, after O'Neal opened, the three points of the other players of the New York Knicks were also accurate, and the three-point shot of the New York Knicks without the psychological burden was really powerful, in this case, the Lakers O'Neal's bag did not dare to be three, or even four, in this case, Webb will bear all this pressure, and at this time, as long as Hill is a little slower, he was able to hang him directly to complete the attack, and this time Hill was still a little slower, he was directly pushed off the court, and O'Neal directly got up to complete the one-handed slam dunk that rushed forward.

At this time, O'Neal, who successfully dunked, did not forget to glare at Webb, who was pushed off the court by him.

"Chris, are you okay" Hill looked at Webb apologetically and said, it's not that he doesn't want to hurry up and pinch the shot, but the other teammates haven't found a good position to rotate the defense, if he comes over at this time, it is to directly give an open three-point opportunity, which is extremely lethal at this time, and now it's not the second quarter.

"I'm fine, but this beast is really difficult to deal with" Webber also smiled bitterly at Hill with some helplessness, at this time the mood of other Lakers players is similar to him, although with the super impact of Hardaway and Hill, the Lakers' interior offense is a big blow to the New York Knicks, although O'Neal is full of deterrence, but there is no way to take the two of them, in this case, the two sides seem to be evenly matched, but as time goes on and O'Neal, who is getting more and more excited, is looking at the point difference that is getting closer and closer, These Lakers players are also a little helpless at this time, the fast break can't play again, and the internal reversal of the positional battle has also become obvious, seeing that the situation is developing towards New York like cheers on the spot, this is undoubtedly a very tragic thing for the Lakers.

However, at this time, although the other players of the Lakers were a little helpless and frustrated, Kobe Bryant, who had been watching the development of the game and accumulating energy for the last moment, was very calm, and at this time he was also extremely calm, as if he was waiting for something, as if he was thinking about something.

"Now that the difference between the two sides has come to two points, O'Neal showed his dominance on the inside like everybody, Webber couldn't stop him at all, and now there are six minutes left on the game. After this official pause. The game will really go to the final decisive moment. O'Neal's performance today was one of the strongest interior performances I've seen in the last decade, with 52 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, which is unimaginable for a 32-year-old interior center, it's horrible."

Both Kenny Smith and Barkley on the commentary bench were extremely nervous at this time, O'Neal's sudden frenzy in the fourth quarter made a great change in the trajectory of this game, although it seems that the Lakers are still struggling to defend the last fortress, but if this fortress collapses, then it means the end of the game.

"What will Coach Z do now?" When the TV was officially suspended. The players of the Lakers and the New York Knicks also came up, and at this time, Kenny Smith also looked at the Lakers with some expectation and said that if Zhuang Fei can't change the status quo of the Lakers, then he can only watch the team lose.

Kenny Smith is looking forward to what new changes will be made to the Lakers this time, but what disappointed him is that there are still not many changes after the Lakers come back from the suspension, it is still Hardaway and Hill who are still thinking about consuming O'Neal, but it is obvious that the current O'Neal has no way to explain it with common sense. He didn't seem to be afraid of consumption at all, and his spirits were extremely high. Even if he is really tired now, he can't feel it, unless he can let his extremely high spirit come down from the apex, but from the current point of view, the mental state of this Lakers interior is still on the rise as the score of the game closes.

"Does the stubborn Coach Z really think that he is still a winner in the end," Kenny Smith, who was finally looking at the score that was constantly anxious and forced to get closer, also frowned and said.

Hardaway and Hill did play extremely well in the fourth quarter of this game, and even if the final score was forced to close to 2 points, the two have maintained the score, and the difference between the two teams has been oscillating between 2 points, 4 points, 2 points, and until there are only 3 minutes left in the game, the Lakers through O'Neal's ball, Marbury hit a shot, and the score was officially tied.

With only three minutes left in the game, the two teams were on the same page.

"O'Neal's body has reached the extreme, and his spirit has also reached the extreme, but it still looks so invincible" And when the New York Knicks equalized, almost in the crazy cheers of the New York fans, Barkley said with some emotion.

The spirit transcends the physical body, which is the state of O'Neill now

"This guy looks horrible"

When Hardaway slowly advanced to the front court with the ball, looking at the O'Neal who was constantly panting in the restricted area, but his eyes were red, he also sighed, this ball was the most critical goal of the game for the Lakers, and at this time the Lakers were not ready to play tactics again, Hardaway motioned for everyone to pull him away, and he was ready to single-handedly hit his former Magic teammate. Although Hardaway rarely does this with the Lakers, he does have such a tactical position.

"Is it only possible to stop your roar and defeat you head-on?" At this time, Hardaway also sighed in his heart, although the team's No. 5 tactical offensive efficiency is very high, but it did not defeat this beast, in this case, in the face of this increasingly crazy big shark, Hardaway is ready to defeat him directly, this is his judgment for this game, since his spirit has reached the apex, then directly drag him down from the apex, and then give him a mental and physical collapse.

I have to say that Hardaway's judgment of the game has reached a point where other players are difficult to reach, but he doesn't have much confidence to beat this O'Neal, of course, no matter what, this ball determines the victory or defeat of the Lakers, and he can't back down at this time.

Hardaway is ready to play O'Neal one-on-one, but at this time he has to pass Marbury, the New York master is not easy to deal with, especially when Marbury saw Hardaway signaling everyone to pull away, he already knew that Hardaway wanted to go it alone. And just as Marbury was about to step forward to stop Hardaway, he was nailed there, because almost when he was about to take a step, Hardaway, who was still a step away from him, almost roared like lightning.

"So fast" At this time, Marbury only felt a cold sweat on his back, and he was also thinking in his heart, is this old guy really 32 or 33? And just when he was ready to block sideways, even if he couldn't block it, he could foul directly. Hardaway barely gave him a chance to foul. In the end, only one sentence remained. Boy, you're still too tender.

And O'Neal, who was standing on the inside line at this time, was also moved when he saw Hardaway rushing directly towards him. This is his old partner's direct challenge.

"Hmph, Shaq, it's time for our account to be settled now" Hardaway rushed directly to O'Neal without any intention of slowing down after breaking through Marbury, and at this time O'Neal's momentum came up again, obviously. Facing Hardaway, his mood rose a little again, almost at the next half of the free throw line, Hardaway actually flew up in a daze, and at this time all the Los Angeles Lakers players and New York Knicks players were stunned.

"Does this guy want to die?" Even Phil Jackson was stunned when he saw Hardaway's death-like offensive option, and he almost sat on the ground while squatting on the sidelines, and at this time, the New York Knicks fans in the stadium also gasped, and Xiao Doran in the box couldn't close his mouth.

With a bang, without any accidents, Hardaway's body and O'Neal's body flew almost directly behind when they collided in the air, and at this time, the fans in the stadium were stunned. Hardaway, who was almost knocked into the air, dodged O'Neal's left-handed block, and then leaned in the air to switch the basketball from his left hand back to his right. Then he sent it to the basket.

"Is this guy still human" Marbury, who had been watching all this behind him, trembled a little when he saw Hardaway who used his coordination in the air to fight with O'Neal, whether it was coordination, flexibility or quality control ability, this veteran who just got rid of him was stronger than him, wasn't it a little bit stronger, the one in front of him was O'Neal, and he could still make this move under such a collision?

And just when everyone was almost amazed by Hardaway's change of hands in the air, the big man on the court once again made a move that made everyone in the audience almost suffocate. Almost as Hardaway's basket flew the ball past O'Neal's left ear, O'Neal's right hand suddenly came out of the back of his head and then directly blocked the ball's path.

Even Hardaway, who had already made a feint in the air, was blocked by an extremely unconventional move by O'Neal, even though O'Neal was only able to block it a little.

"Perry, don't forget, you know my habits, and I know yours"

Looking at O'Neill, who fell from the sky like himself, Hardaway's face was full of shock at this time, and finally replaced by a wave of helplessness.

Or is it a failure? Hardaway was also a little bitter in his heart at this time, this was already his greatest effort, and in the end he still lost.

It's just that at this time, Marbury, who had been watching Hardaway and O'Neal face off the court, suddenly shouted.

"Shaq, be careful!"

And this shout almost directly exploded the deathly silent Madison Garden Plaza, because the New York fans who had just reacted from O'Neal and Hardaway's one-on-one aerial heads-up suddenly saw a Lakers player from the direction of the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, and at this time, a New York player had been squeezed to the ground by him and the basketball blocked by O'Neal was picked up by him directly at the waist of the free throw line, and the Lakers player who picked up this rebound did not have any Teton, Completed the jump directly under the top speed sprint, and flew straight to the basket.

And when O'Neal, who was falling, heard Marbury's shout too late, and when he looked to the left, suddenly a pair of long legs appeared on his neck at the same time as he landed, and O'Neal, who was not standing firm at this time, was almost knocked out by this sudden huge momentum.

Rided, O'Neill's mind at this time remembered the summer of the Olympics 8 years ago, when he was also ridden, and then his mind went blank, and his extremely excited and tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and at this time, there was a loud 'bang' in his head.

This is a dunk, and this dunk also pulled O'Neal back to reality, when he stepped back his head a little to see the familiar number on the Lakers player, the head of the New York Knicks was blank again, this is the Lakers No. 8.

And at this time, Phil Jackson, who had been squatting on the sidelines, heard this loud noise that raged the basket. When I saw the Lakers No. 8 on the basket again. The New York Knicks head coach sat straight to the ground. The face was full of incredulity. At this time, the little Dowlan in the Madison Garden box who had already got up from his seat excitedly after O'Neal blocked Hardaway also sat down in his seat in a daze at this time, and he probably couldn't feel the pain in his butt at this time.

This was the reaction of other people on the scene, and the Lakers players and Knicks players who were closest to the scene of the incident were all staring at Kobe Bryant hanging on the basket and O'Neal who was riding below at this time, until the referee on the side signaled that the ball was scored and O'Neal fouled and added penalties.

And when Kobe Bryant got off the basket with a murderous face, Marbury actually subconsciously stepped back at this time, as if he was frightened, and at this time O'Neal was still sluggish. Knowing what Kobe Bryant was saying next to him, the New York Knicks' insider's body moved slightly.

"I said, I will definitely beat you, I will prove that I am better than you" When Kobe Bryant said this coldly beside O'Neal in a daze, and was about to turn around and go to the free throw line, he was surrounded by Lakers players around him without taking two steps, and there were many big black palms slapping his head on his head.

"It's too domineering, you kid is too domineering"

"Kobe, if you win this game, you're the best scoring guard in my heart, better than Jordan"

In the face of these crazy teammates of his own, Kobe Bryant was also excited, and at this time he looked at the sidelines. When he was about to see the reaction of his most respected head coach, he saw the Chinese give him a thumbs up again. This also made the Lakers' interior heart excited again, and he proved to everyone that Zhuang Fei's trust in him was worth it.

"It's going to be a legend"

Barkley's face was constantly twitching at this time in the commentary booth of Madison Garden Plaza, such excitement probably had not been seen before, and at this time, no one would think that there was anything wrong with Barkley's expression and statement, but Kenny Smith's constantly changing expression on the side was even more suspicious.

"This game is over the New York Knicks" At this time, after the rapid change of face, Kenny Smith said his final conclusion, and when he looked to the side of the court, the figure of the Lakers head coach made him extremely entangled again.

"You won this time" Kenny Smith also sighed again when he thought of this, this game seems to be Phil Jackson has always been the initiative to anticipate the enemy, but this Chinese for this game from half a month ago suppressed Kobe Bryant let him break out in this game, and even in the fourth quarter of this game is extremely passive, he is still controlling the situation on the court, he knows that sooner or later there will be a turning point in this game, he also knows that O'Neal will be pushed down sooner or later, So in the previous games, Hardaway and Hill have been sticking to the style of play.

And it turned out that O'Neal did fall, and was pushed down when he perfectly blocked Hardaway to block one of the Lakers' craziest individual attacks, which was when O'Neal's own spirit was at the peak of his game, and he was defeated by Kobe Bryant when he was at his most brilliant.

At this time, it was not so easy for O'Neill to get back on his feet, not only mentally, but also on the physical level, he also felt the fatigue that he did not have before.

Bryant's dunk almost killed the game. Or rather, the Chinese and Kobe's forbearance and persistence almost killed the game.

"Stephen, Nick, go up and pinch me, we must not let him score any more, we must stop him"

The Knicks are about to face defeat, especially when the pace of the giant on the court is getting slower and slower, and some New York Knicks fans on the side can't bear to watch, and at this time on the sidelines of the court, New York Knicks head coach Phil Jackson still did not give up, and he woke up from extreme shock and began his final struggle.

At this time, just like the Lakers enjoyed O'Neal's crazy impact not long ago, the New York Knicks began to enjoy Kobe's outburst at this time.

Bryant, who scored 63 points in the first three quarters of the game and then fell silent in the fourth quarter, took over the game in the final three minutes, when in fact the rest of the Lakers players and himself were ready to end the game alone.

Didn't Phil Jackson say he couldn't lead the team to victory the way he played, and he's ready to do that right now in front of Phil Jackson.

One person defends, he attacks, two people defend or he attacks, this game until the last second, all the Lakers' scores are all Kobe Bryant's alone.

"Well done" Seeing the last attack of this game, Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball directly from the top of the arc to the basket and won the dunk again, Zhuang Fei also waved his right hand a little excitedly. The game was won. At this time, what was more excited than Zhuang Fei was the other Lakers players sitting on the bench, who did not play much time in this game, but it did not affect them and the team to celebrate the victory of this difficult game.

Corresponding to this was the despair, helplessness and confusion of the more than 20,000 New York fans in Madison Square Square who lost to the Chinese again.

At this time, all the viewers who watched the live broadcast of this game in the United States were still shocked by the performance of the Lakers and the New York Knicks in this game, especially the Los Angeles Lakers, which is only considered the most gorgeous team in NBA history.

"82 points, this guy scored 82 points, 15 points in the last three minutes, hit 20 three-pointers in the whole game, it's horrible, it's horrible, now everyone should agree with Coach Z, Kobe Bryant is not a cherry with poison, he is one of the strongest players in NBA history"

When the Lakers beat the New York Knicks 145-135 on the road at the end of the game, Barkley almost stood and shouted his post-game summary. (To be continued.) )
