Wu Dao made two consecutive three-pointers after the opening, which directly made the originally noisy arena instantly quiet.

The Lakers' home fans looked at the martial arts who began to defend in the middle of the court in a moment with some astonishment, and were speechless for a while.

And the number of fans of the Timberwolves who watched the game today was not very large, and after a short cheer, they also turned their eyes to the martial arts, and their faces were full of excitement.

"Shaquille!"

"Come on!"

As a clear cry broke the silence, Lakers fans finally came to their senses and began to cheer up the players in the stadium loudly.

Shaquille O'Neal, who is now the well-deserved boss of the Lakers, was able to get $12.86 million / year in the 97-98 season, and O'Neal is undoubtedly the focus of attention of many fans.

Now that the Lakers are lagging behind, of course, fans also hope that the team's big boss can stand up at this critical moment, sweep away the decline for the team, and play the momentum of the Purple Lakers!

In fact, the Lakers were going to do just that, and with Nick Van Exel quickly moving the ball into the frontcourt, O'Neal was the only one on the Lakers' side, sinking towards the low post when he fell into position.

Another player who plays the interior line, Elden Campbell (211cm/100kg, No. 4/5), did not choose to insert directly into the Timberwolves' interior after entering the frontcourt, but went to the middle distance near the left baseline and did not pose a direct threat to the basket when he was in position.

In order not to give Eldon Campbell a vacant position, Garnett did not choose to defend the basket, but followed Eldon Campbell out of the paint area.

"Martial arts, don't let them easily give the ball to the inside!"

"Put some pressure on O'Neal!"

"Defend a little bit back!"

On the side of the court, Coach Philip saw that the Lakers were actually in such a formation, and immediately shouted loudly towards the martial arts in the court.

O'Neal chose to settle low on the right side of the court, and Budo's defensive position was also inside the three-point line on the same side.

At this time, hearing the coach's shouting, Wu Dao did not hesitate. He took a few steps back and stood in the middle distance, only about two meters away from O'Neal on the inside.

Although Wu Dao did not directly wrap up O'Neal, his position was also to let Nick Van Exel, who held the ball, throw a bogey, and did not dare to use the defense of the drop ball to give the ball to the inside.

Martial arts' athletic talent is exaggerated, and these players on the Lakers know it.

His position, in fact, has strangled the Lakers' inside and outside connection to a certain extent, if the Lakers have not changed on the offensive end, it is impossible to give chess to the inside line under the defense of the Timberwolves!

"Chance!"

Marbury saw that Nick Van Exel hesitated, and when he realized that the opportunity arose, he immediately took a step forward, a close fit, and then quickly reached out to Nick Van Exel's basketball hand.

In the face of Marbury's steal, Nick Van Exel's reaction was also fast, when dribbling, he grabbed the basketball with his left hand at the moment when the basketball rebounded, and lifted it backwards, while his body was also fast to the side, blocking Marbury's aggressive impact with his arms.

In the next second, Nick Van Exel quickly turned around, and at the moment when his back was to the basket, the basketball was also quickly shot and given to the hands of Rick Fox who was empty on the side.

Obviously, the basketball has been shot, but Nick Van Exel also doesn't stop for a moment, quickly sticking to Marbury and turning around, and rushing towards the basket.

"Huh?!"

Marbury subconsciously followed Nick Van Exel, but found Rick Fox holding the ball outside at this time during the process.

The latter, under Marbury's gaze, raised the basketball and shot directly from the open position.

"Three-pointers! It's a three-point shot! ”

"The Lakers plan to give the Timberwolves back the color with their three-point shot!"

In the stands, some fans shouted in surprise, the basketball had just been shot, and they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and looked at the court with anticipation.

In this era, the Lakers built their team around O'Neal.

In addition to Nick Van Exel, the "small point guard" who has the characteristics of this era, other outside players including Eddie Jones and Rick Fox have a certain amount of projection ability.

In addition to these starters, Kobe Bryant on the bench is also a player who can shoot three-pointers.

Although it is not a star in the traditional sense, the Lakers are a team that relies heavily on outside projection to some extent.

"Bell—"

Although it was a big opening, Rick Fox's three-point shooting ability was really not excellent, and the shooting path was obviously offset, and the basketball smashed directly into the rim and bounced outward.

Don't think that an empty three-pointer is a "hand-holding" thing for NBA players. The three-point shot, in this era, is a "rare weapon" for many outside players.

The vast majority of people are just able to shoot three-point shots.

On the No. 3 position, there are not many players who can control the three-point shot, and there are even fewer players like Wu Dao who can put the three-point shot as a conventional weapon on the court.

Rick Fox played for the Celtics last season and shot just over 30 percent from three-point range, and for him, three-point shooting is the norm.

"Rebounding!"

The rebound appeared, and Coach Philip on the side of the court immediately reminded loudly.

Martial Arts itself is relatively close to the inside line, and the moment Rick Fox makes a shot, Martial Arts rushes towards the inside, and the moment the rebound appears.

Martial Arts had already come behind O'Neill, and he raised his arms against O'Neill's back.

His movements, if placed in the era of body hair whistles in later generations, are already considered fouls, and the referee's whistle has already sounded.

But in this era, under the basket, this kind of action is really commonplace, compared to some "blue-collar players" who focus on rebounding, the movements of martial arts are too gentle!

"Bang!"

The basketball fell, with Takemichi and Cherokee Parks in the back and the other in front, firmly stuck O'Neal.

Feeling the power behind him, O'Neal, who watched the basketball fall, coldly pushed it on Martial Dao's chest, and after pushing Martial Arts away, O'Neal jumped up and grabbed the basketball with both hands directly on Cherokee Parks' head.

Defloration on the top of the head.

In the face of two people's sandwich, O'Neal actually grabbed the rebound in the front court.

“？！”

The moment Wu Dao was pushed away, he was still a little confused in his mind, on the one hand, O'Neal's strength was really great, and he actually pushed himself away with one hand, and on the other hand, he was surprised by the scale of the Lakers' home referee.

His actions when grabbing rebounds are "conventional", but O'Neal's pushing is not conventional!

O'Neal, who won the rebound, quickly lifted the ball and shook it, directly pointing up Cherokee Parks, who had just landed and was unstable.

Then O'Neal quickly bent down and blew the ball with both hands, directly past Cherokee Parkes, and then rose to the ground, grabbed the ball with both hands and poured the ball into the basket.

"Humph!!"

A cold snort sounded behind O'Neal, and a large hand reached out directly from the back of O'Neal's head, and a slap was directly pressed on the basketball in O'Neal's hand.

However, O'Neal's impact on the basket was not diminished at all by Wudao's blocking. O'Neal only jumped at a height slightly suppressed by Martial Arts, and his hands were still holding the basketball without dunking into the basket.

As the ball poured into the basket with a powerful two-handed slam, Staples' home basketball hoop began to vibrate violently.

The blocking failed, and after the martial arts landed, his face also showed a little stunned, he played until now, and it was the first time he had encountered such an outrageous thing.

Didn't cover it?

“ohhhhhh——”

Lakers fans cheered excitedly when they saw O'Neal pouring the ball into the basket against the block of Martial Arts.

Some O'Neal fans even shouted at the martial arts in the field:

"Rookie! What are you thinking? Can you stop Shaquille? ”

"Shaquille will destroy you and your timberwolves, wash your ass and wait!"

"We, the Lakers, are the most powerful team in the West, and we are the real championship team!"

Fans in Los Angeles are fanatical, and this frenzy is not only directed at their own teams, but also at their opponents. Fans of this era are more likely to spray "Who's your daddy!" at Lao Zhan. The fans also have to be "tough".

Wu Dao, the leader of the timberwolves, is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Yes, I don't know which game it started, Martial Arts has long been regarded as the leader of the Timberwolves by Los Angeles fans, and I don't know when it began, when fans of other teams mention Martial Arts, they often call Martial Arts "the young wolf king of the Timberwolves".

Trash talk from fans can sometimes be more devastating than the trash talk of the players in the stadium.

After all, you can talk back to the players, but how can you talk back to the fans?

In the court, Wu Dao, who listened to the abuse of the Lakers fans, also had a slightly gloomy face, and then ran towards the front court without saying a word.

On the Timberwolves side, Marbury glanced at Takeshi with some concern when he heard the trash talk of the fans around him, this kind of scene is rare even for Marbury, and he was worried that Buddy, a rookie, would be affected by the Lakers' "home atmosphere".

The Lakers' retreat speed is not fast, and the Timberwolves also chose to play steadily and steadily, without the intention of pushing fast offense.

After Marbury entered the front court with the ball, he planned to break through by himself and create a more comfortable opportunity for his teammates to receive and score, and Takemi's two consecutive three-pointers were indeed very morale-boosting, but Marbury was worried that Takeshi would be affected, and planned to dry Takedo for a round to calm him down.

"Stephen!" At this moment, Takemichi, who was still standing on the outside, suddenly started a disguise, directly past Rick Fox who was defending him from the left side, and cut towards the inside.

At the same time, the call of martial arts also reached the ears of Stephen Marbury.

Almost a knee-jerk action, Stephen Marbury passed the ball directly to the ground with both hands, directly giving the martial arts to cut into. After taking the ball, Wu Dao was just a dribble, and after the last two big strides, he actually went directly into the inside, facing O'Neal under the basket, and jumped up directly with one hand in his right hand.

“F**K！”

"Boy, what are you doing crazy!!

O'Neal saw Martial Dao quickly attacking the basket, only felt that he was insulted, and after scolding, his knees bent slightly, and he jumped up directly towards Martial Dao, who entered the basket, and blocked the basketball in Martial Dao's hand with both hands.

However, the bump of the martial arts with the run-up is too good, O'Neill has just taken off, and the No. 2 jersey of the martial arts has already filled O'Neal's sight, and the upper body of the martial arts directly hit O'Neal's body, reducing his momentum of jumping.

In the next second, the martial arts of the human master who was full of bouncing and stretching was still more than ten centimeters away from the basket, and directly dunked the ball to the basket, and the basketball came out of his hand, smashed directly on the edge of the inner basket, and fell into the net.

Under O'Neal's defense, Takemichi's momentum also weakened, and although he couldn't catch the basket and dunk, he also sent the ball into the basket above O'Neal's head.

And his ball is no less impactful than directly blocking O'Neal.

At this moment, the Staples Arena fell silent.

"Shhhh

After the goal, Wu Dao fell back to the ground, looked around at the Lakers fans, put his index finger to his mouth, and made a "silence" movement.

“.”

Silence, deathly silence.

Even the Timberwolves' team members looked at the martial arts who got up and ran back with shocked faces at this moment, and Garnett and Marbury glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Tom on the other side, looking at the back of the martial arts to return to the defense, turned into a fanatic color after a short period of shock.

"Whew———"

After a few seconds of silence, the Timberwolves fans finally reacted first and let out a hearty howl.

If it weren't for the fact that it was in the arena, others would have thought that it was a husky that was released.

“oh！ f**k！ ”

"Shaquille O'Neal! How can you lose to that rookie! ”

Lakers fans became even crazier after seeing the provocation of Takemi's silence, and the insults poured out on Takedo were even more, but there were also some fans who exported their firepower to O'Neal's head.

Fans were reluctant to even affectionately call O'Neal "Shaquille" after feeling insulted.

O'Neill slowly walked out of his shock at this moment, blinked his eyes, and the blankness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a raging rage.

"He me off!"

"This rookie really me off!"

"I'm going to tear this bastard to shreds!"

The furious O'Neill slammed his chest, and roared as if no one was around under the lens of the media.

Some fans in the front row were also very happy to see the furious O'Neal and began to cheer loudly.

The enthusiasm of the fans has been completely ignited by O'Neill at this moment.
