——OH！ Well done!

- The 10th can be today!

- Haha, number 10 contracted all the points for today!

"Hahaha, ikebana is so fierce today! Is it because of Haruko's relationship? ”

"Keep it up!"

"Sakuragi!"

The cheers of the home stadium, especially mixed with the cheers of friends and Haruko.

Syllable!

Lin Dong and Sakuragi clapped their hands hard.

"Brother Master!"

"That guy isn't that scary, is he?" Lin Dong smiled and looked at O'Neill, who was unhappy, and said to Sakuragi: "Excitement is also a kind of strength, hold your breath, don't get lost in cheers to deflat, think about that guy's weakness, that's your main dish today!" ”

Main course......

Sakuragi Hanamichi choked, and sure enough, the emotions that were about to explode were held back.

If you want to beat the Lakers, O'Neal has to pass this hurdle, especially on the defensive end, to break O'Neal's absolute dominance under the basket and his absolute control of rebounds, otherwise, no matter how much he picks up the score of the master, he can't change the direction of the game at all.

As for O'Neill's weakness?

Old Earl - the opponent's habits are his weakness! Not to mention grabbing his habit to attack, even if it is just to destroy his habit, it is a success!

O'Neal's habitual paint zone attack position, and his habit of looking for opponents before making a shot...... When the idea becomes clear, when the goal becomes single and clear......

Hanamichi Sakuragi took a deep breath and walked to the free throw line.

Relying on this breath of hold, Sakuragi steadily hit the free throws that only 80% of the shooting rate he had in training, and the score came to 5:2, leading the supersonics!

Lakers' ball possession.

Although the game has just begun, the two waves of supersonic offense are completed by No. 10 red hair, and the Lakers obviously still feel a hint of threat, which is completely different from the rhythm of the game led by Lin Dong alone in the last game.

Payton is not there, and the best way to win against the SuperSonics is not to allow Lin Dong to find a support point in anyone else on this team.

O'Neal and Kobe Bryant just made eye contact, and they already read each other's common meaning: choke the momentum of No. 10 first!

Bryant had the ball in the back, and O'Neal had already gone straight to the paint.

Everyone knows that O'Neal's range of attack is concentrated in the paint area, and letting him take the ball in this position is almost equivalent to giving away points, so the best way to defend O'Neal is not to let him in.

Therefore, in the previous games, as soon as O'Neal came over, Sakuragi would go up desperately, but the tonnage gap, no matter how Sakuragi sank the center of gravity, would be like a plough by the opponent, and at most within two seconds he would force Sakuragi's defense and squeeze into the paint area.

O'Neill was planning to do the same this time, and when he walked into the paint area, he was already subconsciously turning his back, ready to squeeze the guy out with the back of his shoulders and his fat buttocks.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he exerted his strength, the kid actually took the initiative to step back, allowing O'Neill to stand directly in the most comfortable position in the paint area.

It's so easy this time?

O'Neal felt a little unbelievable, and he was beaten and beaten, but he still admired the strength of this 204 cm little guy, at least he could force himself to be serious, and he could often stalemate with himself for a second or two when he was in a confrontation, comparable to most 215 cm centers in the league.

The opponent's card position under the basket can still create a little trouble for himself, or at least he can consume his own strength.

But what the hell is this just giving up the defense now?

As he was thinking this, he saw Sakuragi suddenly make a big bend from his side, and he actually wanted to go around in front of him and prevent him from catching the ball.

Think beautifully!

O'Neill sneered, and instinctively made a sideways move at the first time, while opening his left arm to intercept, still maintaining the position of pinning Sakuragi behind him.

But he moved to the left, Sakuragi continued to move to the left, and O'Neill instinctively continued to block.

With this move, Sakuragi moved along the bottom line to the left area, and it didn't take a single effort to 'take' O'Neill out of the paint area.

At this time, Kobe Bryant, who came over with the ball, was at the top of the three-point arc, and he was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.

Before that, it had always been Sakuragi who was strong under the basket, and then was eaten by O'Neal, which was O'Neal attacking and Sakuragi Hanamichi was suffering.

But now, it's just a change of thinking, and it has actually become O'Neill chasing and Sakuragi Hana Road winding.

This...... Who's guarding against whom?

Kobe Bryant is also convinced, is this Shengsheng putting the initiative in the hands of his opponent?

"Shaq!" Bryant had to be reminded, and O'Neal suddenly realized that he had unknowingly left the most comfortable paint area.

Fack!

He cursed secretly in his heart, simply ignored Sakuragi Hanamichi, and rushed to the basket with one step.

At the same time, a high-tossing pass from Kobe Bryant has gone straight to the basket.

Relay in the air!

O'Neill saw the starting position and stood still, but the next second ......

Call!

A dark green figure suddenly burst out from the side, and jumped up frantically in front of him.

Number 10!

O'Neal was taken aback coldly, just now he was taken by Sakuragi and almost ran out of the free throw area, and when he cut back, he had already lost Sakuragi, the defender, and felt that there was no one within a meter of him, so he thought of suddenly rushing out.

According to the tacit understanding between him and Kobe, the ball had to jump a little later, but when the dark green No. 10 back suddenly jumped in front of him, it made O'Neal's mind involuntarily think of the picture of the opening jump ball before.

So the whole body trembled, and the body almost instinctively jumped up, but then I found that Kobe Bryant passed very high, and now there is at least a meter away from the basket......

Don't say you can't reach it, that guy can't reach it either......

Before the thought could finish spinning in O'Neill's mind, his pupils suddenly tightened.

I saw Sakuragi fall one step ahead of him, after all, that guy jumped first, and it didn't seem to be fully exerted, and he landed naturally faster than himself.

And when O'Neal fell, his toes touched the ground, and he was desperate to hear the sound of the ball hitting the rebound overhead, and then the dark green No. 10's back jumped again.

Call!

This time it wasn't just jumping and jumping, Sakuragi Hanamichi was riveting, and the explosion of the whole body was gathered into one point, and the body flew up like a rocket.

Extremely fast second jump!

In O'Neill's desperate and angry eyes, he only had time to jump a little distance after landing to see that No. 10 had already snatched this air relay that should have belonged to him in his hands!

"Fack!" O'Neill scolded angrily.

Wow!

Around the arena, there was an uproar of excitement.

McMillan, the substitutes and even Haruko and others on the sidelines jumped with excitement.

This is not just a steal, but a significant first blockade of the Lakers' interior!

Thinking about the first few games when the Lakers were in trouble, they only needed to hang the ball inside and immediately break the deadlock and score steadily, such a steal is too precious.

On the contrary, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who should be the most excited, is too calm to talk at this time.

- Hold your breath! Hold your breath! Don't get lost in these cheers.

- It's just a ball, maybe it's luck, it's not enough to show that you can already deal with O'Neal, don't get excited, don't get too excited!

Taking advantage of the moment of falling, Sakuragi's eyes looked straight ahead, and he had already seen Lin Dong rushing towards the front court in the lead, although Kobe Bryant followed closely, but at the speed of the master's brother......

Call!

The moment he landed, Sakuragi swiped his arm and threw it directly towards the front position.

After all, Lin Dong started in front of Kobe, and the sheer speed of the two was also Lin Dong's victory, plus the direction in which Sakuragi threw the ball, and when Lin Dong rushed into the front court in a few big strides, the basketball just bounced not far in front of him.

Rushing to the ball, he didn't have to shoot, he took a big leap and scored an easy layup.

Supersonic is on the next level, and the numbers on the electronic scoreboard are jumping, 7:2!

With the continuous cheers from the court, the ball returned to the Lakers.

O'Neill is really getting a little angry now.

The opening jump ball was caused by this guy, and Lin Dong was exploited by this guy, and when he turned around, he wanted to make an empty catch, but he could still be destroyed by this guy......

O'Neill was really angry at this time, and when he turned around and entered the paint area, he saw that the red-haired boy was doing his old trick again, and he actually wanted to bypass the block.

Anger is anger, but just suffered a loss, O'Neal can obviously still see the focus of this defense.

The kid gave up the competition with his own power, and instead chose to intercept the passing route that others passed to him.

The opponent's strength is not as good as his own, but his reaction, speed, bounce and other aspects seem to be better than his own, and he also has Peyton's unique skill of 'a thousand hands', so it is absolutely difficult for him to receive the ball comfortably if he wants such a guy to block his passing route at any time.

It's obviously not advisable to run with the opponent and intercept, so the only option left is to go to the free throw line to catch the ball.

This position is only two steps away from the 3-point line, the passing line is straight and short, if this kind of almost hand-to-hand ball can still be stealed, then he and Kobe Bryant will retire on the spot!

O'Neal took a big step forward and stood directly on the free throw line, but Sakuragi, who saw this scene, felt a clever brain, as if he was empowered at this moment, and suddenly had a feeling of integration.

In the first two games, he tried all his strength to resist O'Neal, but he couldn't even squeeze the opponent out of the paint area.

Can ...... now It didn't take a penny of effort, but it was just a change of mindset that forced that guy out of the free throw line?

Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help but stand still for half a second.

I'll you...... What was I doing in the first two games?

Me, I...... I'm a fucking genius!
