The other side of the pitch.

Odom organized the high post and assisted Jones to hit a mid-range jumper.

9：2。

Payton dribbled past half court, and Bryant continued to ask for the ball.

Peyton pretended not to see it.

Tool people are also dignified.

And then...... He passed the ball to O'Neal under the basket.

O'Neal rarely got the ball, the big shark came out of the cage, directly pushed Cato away, turned around and buckled with both hands.

Bang!

The basketball hoop is crumbling and seems to be ready to break at any moment.

9：4。

On the defensive end, O'Neal also slapped Wade's breakaway layup.

O'Neill was in power.

Cato alone had no power to resist.

Coach Dafan signaled Odom and Li Lei to pay attention to the bag.

But it still didn't work.

O'Neal has a very high ball quotient, not just a stupid big man who can only score, and his passing ability is also top among the center.

In the '95 Finals, O'Neal averaged 6.3 assists per game. In the 01 Finals, O'Neal also averaged 4.8 assists per game.

As long as someone covers him, there must be an open space, and O'Neill can pass the ball out as soon as possible.

And Malone, Payton, George, and Kobe Bryant all have projection ability.

Relying on O'Neal's dominance, the Lakers quickly increased their scores.

And on the defensive end, O'Neal and Malone turned the Lakers' paint zone into a no-fly zone, and the Heat began to score harder and harder.

At the end of the first quarter, at 19:21, the Lakers led by 2 points.

If it weren't for the Lakers' bench lineup, the difference would have been even greater.

In the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, at 37:48, the difference was already 11 points.

If you continue to play like this, the Heat will not survive the third quarter.

The Los Angeles fans are buzzing again.

"Look, the Lakers are invincible!"

"Strength is king, when you are strong enough, the gutter does not exist."

"Hot, you want to steal a win in Staples, dream."

……

Old Peyton started to have a big mouth again.

"Look, anyway, I'm the winner, you're the loser."

Li Lei really can't squirt back this sentence.

Competitive competition, winner is king.

Victory is king, and who cares that the loser has a hundred or a thousand reasons?

Li Lei stared at Payton for a moment, and suddenly started and ran without the ball.

Peyton was stunned and hurried to catch up.

Odom saw this scene and immediately passed the ball to Li Lei.

Li Lei received the ball and threw it.

Peyton caught up, but he was only 193cm, and the interference with Li Lei was limited.

The additional effect of 100 steps through the poplar reduces the small amount of interference to the host.

Swish!

Three-pointers hit steadily.

40：48。

The Lakers attacked, and Payton wanted to return the favor.

But Wade, the NCAA's best defensive player, defended well, and Payton couldn't shoot.

Cato struggled for a defensive rebound.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei continued to run without the ball.

Eddie Jones took cover and blocked Payton.

Wade immediately passed the ball.

Li Lei took the ball, adjusted it, and shot directly.

Swish!

Three-pointers were also scored.

At 43:48, there were only 5 points left.

"Oh...... NO！ ”

The scene was amazed.

Li Lei's two three-pointers instantly narrowed the difference to 5 points.

5 points, that's not a big deal.

Li Lei, who scored the goal, glanced at Payton and turned back to defense.

Peyton's face was ugly.

Bryant also glanced at Payton, didn't say anything, and ran to the front court.

Peyton's face became even more ugly.

He felt that Kobe Bryant was saying: Best Defensive Player, can't you even be a rookie?

Wade can't prevent it, Li Lei can't prevent it, who can you prevent?

Los Angeles fans are also dissatisfied.

You are Peyton, and you were blown up by Wade and Li Lei, and the two rookies took turns to explode.

Lakers offense.

Kobe Bryant suddenly pulled up against Li Lei and hit a backward jumper.

Li Lei has blocked Kobe's sight, but he still can't stop Kobe from scoring.

43：50。

Kobe Bryant stabilized the Lakers' momentum.

But in the flip side, Odom broke through Malone and gave Jones the ball, who hit a long two-pointer.

45：50。

And Peyton seemed to be desperate, sticking to Li Lei like a mask, and he didn't let Li Lei catch the ball.

Li Lei doesn't care, just run, stop, run, stop......

Consumes physical strength, I don't believe you can play an old man.

Back to it.

Kobe Bryant crossed steps to break through, but Li Lei didn't keep up.

Bryant rushed into the paint, dodged Cato and Odom's reinforcements, and scored on a pull-up layup.

45：52。

In the last round of the Heat, Li Lei still didn't have a chance, but Odom scored a mid-distance single Ma Long.

47：52。

At the end of the first half, the Heat trailed by five points, but they still had to play in the second half.

Come back in the second half.

Kobe Bryant frequently asked for the ball, but his hand felt cold and missed three consecutive shots.

O'Neal was full of power, first grabbing the frontcourt rebound and scoring a dunk, and then bombarding the basket with Cato and Odom.

"Little Fish" Fisher, who came off the bench, also received O'Neal's pass and hit a three-pointer.

The margin is back in double digits again.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei received a pass from Odom at the top of the arc, a fake throw deceived Fisher who flew out, and then hit the free throw line and threw a shot.

The margin returned to 8 points.

Bryant broke through and scored.

The difference is 10 points.

The difference between the two sides has been bouncing between 8 and 10.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, Coach Dafan began to adopt shark slashing tactics, and once chased the score to only one point.

Kobe Bryant stood by and watched O'Neal hit 0 of 2 free throws and 1 of 2 free throws again and again, which was very unhappy.

"You need to practice free throws or we'll lose the playoffs because of you."

Kobe Bryant finally couldn't help it and said to O'Neal.

O'Neill was also unhappy: "If you had passed me more, we would have won a long time ago." ”

Bryant squirted: "Give you free throws and waste offensive rounds?" ”

O'Neal: "Better than you strike iron on the outside." ”

Thanks to the little fish Fisher who came out to pull the rack, the two parted angrily.

In the end, it was also this Fisher who hit the game-killing three-pointer.

At 98:101, the Heat had to swallow the defeat.

But tonight, they fought with the supercarrier to the last moment, and they are already worthy of respect.

On the Lakers' side: Bryant 32 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

O'Neal had 29 points, 15 rebounds and two blocks.

Malone had 11 points and six rebounds, and Payton had 10 points and four assists.

On the Heat side:

Jones had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Odom had 18 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 4 fouls.

Li Lei had 15 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Haslem had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 fouls.

Cato had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 5 fouls.

Grant had nine points, four rebounds and four fouls.

Wade had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

Alston had seven points and four assists.

Playing the Mosaics and the Lakers, Wade's performance was not very good and he struggled a little.

His breakthrough-based style of play met big centers like O'Neill and Yao Ming, and he was too restrained.

At the end of the game, players from both sides shook hands.

Peyton gave Li Lei a vicious look.

O'Neal squeezed his eyebrows at Li Lei, Kobe Bryant scored more today, but the shooting rate was not high, he hit a lot of iron, and he also ate Li Lei's hot pot and steals, which is the only thing O'Neal is happy about today.

Li Lei has an illusion that as the boss of the Lakers and the first active player in the league, O'Neal has a hard time, and he might as well be happy.

Kobe patted Li Lei's shoulder and said expressionlessly, "You, not bad." ”

Li Lei also patted Kobe Bryant's shoulder: "You're not bad either." ”

Bryant was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Young people are fearless!

There are really not many rookies who dare to treat him like this.

Interesting.

Next time, I'm going to blow you up!
