Chapter 560 Beautiful little goldfish, your only role is to embellish my era

  2:4, the Lakers lead at home and the Knicks attack.

  Pharaoh put O'Neal into the basket again, so that they were both in the basket, leaving Jordan with no room to break in, and he only needed to deal with O'Neal alone.

   Under the basket, as soon as O'Neal came in, he immediately took a strong confrontation, frantically defending from behind, as if to push O'Neal away from the basket.

  O'Neal finally got in, and he didn't want to be pushed out, so he went all out.

   At this time, Jordan chose to pass the ball to the basket again.

  The ball slipped from the top, O'Neal was holding Pharaoh and was waiting to catch the ball, and suddenly there was an empty space behind him. Just now, he had some untenable top defense strength, but it was gone in an instant.

   "This bastard!"

   body swayed back, and at this time, a golden figure took a step from his left side, cutting off his path to catch the ball.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh received a pass from Jordan, and the Lakers attacked.

   "Michael, thank you, you delivered a good message."

   After passing the ball, he walked forward unhurriedly, and when he ran past Jordan, he thanked and praised again, making Jordan's eyes murderous.

   "Today, although the Tiejun was blocked at the beginning of the game, I feel like he is going to explode today." Zhang Lili suddenly said in a daze.

  Su Qun was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said, "It's possible."

   At this time, Pharaoh ran to the basket and was blocked by O'Neal. It seemed that the Knicks would not let him get close to the basket at will, so he came to the low post on the left wing to ask for the ball.

   Then catch the ball, step back, face the basket, lean over, and be ready before attacking.

   Just got knocked down once, and his ankles were almost broken. Now it's here again. This time, O'Neal was nervously waiting, and he paid 1.2 million attention.

"boom!"

  Between the dribble, there is no tentative step, and Pharaoh directly sticks to the bottom line to the side.

  O'Neal quickly took a half-step back and got close to the bottom line, trying to block the bottom line.

   But then Pharaoh turned around and leaned on O'Neal.

   "Back arch!"

  O'Neal was startled, and quickly took another half step back into the reasonable collision zone.

   But in the next instant, Pharaoh turned around, and between dribbles, he went from the left side of the basket to the front left side, and then when O'Neal adjusted his position, his figure exploded.

   "You want to detain me again?"

   At this moment, O'Neal's eyes were split.

   But the attacker has the initiative. No matter how fast he gets up to block, he has to be half a beat behind him. After taking off, he lowers him by a full head.

   "Boom!"

   was high above, and Pharaoh swooped down, pressing his left hand on O'Neal's shoulder, and holding the ball in his right hand, he slashed and dunked vigorously.

"boom!"

   As O'Neal was hit and sunk, the basket over his head was also blown.

"yeah!"

   Ten thousand people raised their arms to drink, and the Great Western Forum Arena was boiling again.

  Pharaoh raised **** and roared at O'Neal: "Pretty little goldfish, your only role is to decorate my era, understand?"

   "Go away!"

   O'Neal angrily pushed Pharaoh, gasping for breath.

   "click, click..."

  After the bottom line, the shutter of the media kept beeping.

   "Old K raised two fingers, the second time to buckle, will there be a third time?" Barkley asked excitedly.

   "O'Neal broke his golden body, old K's revenge is too strong, I think as long as there is a chance, he will keep deducting." Bill Walton said.

   "Obviously, the big sharks are annoying old K." Kenny Smith said.

   Next, Pharaoh never found a chance to deduct O'Neal.

   He also continued to put O'Neal in the paint, trying to use this method to kill Jordan's breakthrough tactics.

   This strategy is indeed effective, but it also nearly got him blocked by O'Neal again.

  In the 7th minute of the first quarter, O'Neal caught the ball at the basket and shook him with a fake.

  O'Neal was stunned, and Pharaoh wiped away a cold sweat. The first time he was detained, he had not cleaned it yet. If he was detained again, his points would be deducted today.

   In the 9th minute, temporary time, both sides made substitutions.

   At this time, at 20:26, the Lakers led by 6 points at home.

   Barkley said: "O'Neal went off the court and made 3 of 6 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls within 9 minutes of the first quarter.

6 offenses, all of which were at the basket, but Old K's defense was really strong. He blocked O'Neal twice, and O'Neal dunked a goal himself, but only managed to score three goals. He was also stolen once by Old K and made a mistake in receiving the ball. Once, the efficiency is average. "

Bill Walton continued: "Jordan stayed on the court, he was 3-for-5 from the field, 1-for-2 from 3-pointers, 2-for-2 from free throws, got 9 points, and the efficiency was very good. But all his shots today were Outside jumpers, not a single breakout score."

  Kenny Smith said: "Old K also stayed on the court. He is now 5 of 7 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, 12 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 2 fouls.

  It is worth noting that both O'Neal and Old K have committed two fouls in the first quarter. They are all very **** defense today, but be careful not to commit too many fouls. "

  Barkley said: "Old K was very weird today. He deliberately put O'Neal in the basket. I don't know if it was his own idea or the decision of the coaching staff.

   But his defense against O'Neal today was very successful, making O'Neal's basket attack not very efficient. "

   Bill Walton said: "There is another one, two giants are under the basket, Jordan lost the breakthrough space, he made a jumper outside the whole process today, although the hit rate is very good, but whether it can persist, this is a problem."

   "Mike, it will be a loss for us if Old K and O'Neal go off the court early." At this time, Stern whispered to an executive next to him.

   "OK, Mr. President, I understand."

  The executive took out his phone and sent a text message immediately.

   Soon, the referee received an order from the upper level through a certain channel, not to be too strict with the whistle of Old K and O'Neal, the league did not want them to end early.

  David Stern doesn't want to interfere with the game, even if the Knicks lose and the Finals will end.

   He thinks this series is exciting enough. If something goes wrong, it won't be beautiful, and it doesn't have to be a tiebreaker.

   He just hopes Jordan doesn't retire if the Knicks lose.

   Next, the alliance will definitely introduce some rules to limit the strength of the old K to prevent the balance from being seriously damaged. This is also a helpless move. The old K is too strong and has to be restricted by rules.

   So next season as long as Jordan stays in good shape, the Knicks should have a better chance.

   In fact, he had previously talked to the Knicks management about the rules, just as he and the Lakers management had to talk about it.

  The first quarter ended quickly, at 27:32, the Knicks trailed by 5 points.

   During the break between the quarters, Zhang Reasonably analyzed: "Judging from the performance of the Knicks in the first quarter, although after three days of rest, they are still exhausted.

   is Jordan. In 12 minutes in the whole quarter, he made 4 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 14 points. The efficiency is quite high and the state is very excited. "

  Suqun said: "Guide Zhang, the Lakers are similar, except for Old K, everyone else's condition is average, not very excited.

  Old K was cut after Shaquille O'Neal went off the court. He made 1 of 1 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, a total of 6 of 8 shots, 4 of 7 free throws, and scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 2 fouls. "

   Zhang Lili nodded and said: "I've been very tired from playing until now, I'm just persevering, that is, Jordan and Tiejun can still maintain their excitement.

   In addition, although O'Neal dunked Tie Jun at the beginning of the game today, Tie Jun immediately returned two dunks, which also stunned him. Later, he was not excited enough, and he dunked a ball.

   Jordan's side, O'Neal went down in the last three minutes, and he didn't make a breakthrough. He was really tired, and he should save his physical fitness. We will analyze it according to the next situation. If not, he is saving physical fitness and preparing for the final quarter. "

  Suqun nodded and said: "The Knicks always collapse at the end. If Jordan does this, it is normal."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The playoffs are the stage for superstars, and the finals are the stage for superstars. Real superstars must also be very strong in terms of physical fitness. A big reason to play super."

   This season starts.

   Originally, the coaching staff wanted to arrange for Pharaoh to rest for two or three minutes, but he refused. Although his physical condition was not as good as before, he could still persevere.

   Just as usual, he didn't take much shots in the second quarter to play defense and rebounding.

  Jordan didn’t rest in the first quarter, but he didn’t take any shots after the second quarter. Like Pharaoh, he was keeping his physical fitness.

   O'Neal played in the fourth minute, when the Lakers led by 7 points.

  Joe Sharks teamed up and pulled back 4 points in the next 6 minutes. In the 10th minute of the second quarter, the Knicks were still behind by 3 points. At this time, Jordan went down to rest.

  Only O'Neal was on the court, and Pharaoh didn't let him make the basket. The rest of the Knicks couldn't play a strong inside and outside attack with O'Neal. He and Fortson could completely defend the penalty area.

   However, he did not let go of the offense either, and focused on defense and rebounding.

   After the second quarter, at 55:60, the Lakers led by 5 points.

   After halftime, Jordan went back to the locker room, and after drinking a can of energy drink, he lay down on the massage chair and asked his exclusive massage therapist to massage him.

  O'Neal is the same.

  The two knew that their physical fitness was not as good as that of Old K, so they did everything possible to restore their physical fitness, never sitting if they could lie down, and never standing if they could sit.

Phil Jackson stood in the middle of the two massage beds and said to the two: "Michael, Shaq, according to the analysis of the first half, especially the first quarter, the reason why Old K put Shaq into the basket should be because I don't want Michael to rush in."

  O'Neal raised his head hard and scolded, "I knew that old K was not doing good things."

   He was also a little frustrated. In the first quarter of the basket contest, he was one-on-one, and his offense was not very good. The old K guy's defense was too strong.

   "Phil, what are you going to do?" Jordan asked.

  Phil Jackson shook his head and said: "There is no good way, Shaq has to show your ability, in the case of the old K defending you alone, if you can't attack at the basket, we will be quite passive."

  O'Neal made up his mind. In the third quarter, if Old K dared to let him go to the basket, he would do his best to beat Old K.

   After 15 minutes, the third quarter begins.

   From the analysis of the situation in the second quarter, both Shaquille O'Neal and Jordan, like him, did not exert force, so the Lakers coaching staff believed that the Knicks would fight back in the final quarter, and Pharaoh and Richmond also thought the same.

   In order to hit the opponent by surprise, the coaching staff arranged to play a wave at the beginning of the third quarter, it would be better to open the score.

  The game started, and the Lakers attacked.

   Seeing the old K coming towards the basket, O'Neal immediately pushed it up.

   At the next step of the free throw line, Pharaoh turned around, stretched his arms, stuck O'Neal behind him, held a big hand, and shouted, "Ball!"

   "Whoosh!"

   Kobe was still two steps away from the top of the arc. When he saw Pharaoh turn around and get stuck, he immediately reacted, pulled to the right, avoided Jordan in front, and pushed with his right hand, and the ball flew past Jordan.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh grabs the ball with his right hand, and in the next instant, between dribbles, he takes a big step to the left.

   This step not only got rid of O'Neal, but also widened the distance from Oakley, who was double-teamed from the right wing, and also shifted the offensive direction, forcing O'Neal to adjust the defensive direction.

   When the ball bounced off the floor and was caught in his left hand, Pharaoh took a ferocious step and jumped up to meet O'Neal who had just adjusted his position.

"boom!"

   With the violent smashing of the basket, O'Neal was staggered and took two steps back as soon as he took off, almost falling to the basket.

"yeah!"

   The audience burst into cheers.

   "Beautiful! Old K dunks O'Neal for the third time, poor guy, today is so unlucky, haha!" The live commentator laughed.

   fell to the ground, raised his left hand, Pharaoh raised three fingers, but didn't spray trash, just stared at O'Neal like that.

   "I will repay you." O'Neill said sadly and indignantly, slapped open Pharaoh's hand.

  Pharaoh looked at the system when he returned to defense, and the 200 points he just deducted came back.

   Back on the defensive end, he put O'Neal in the basket again.

   Outside, Jordan passed in.

   Feeling that the top defense behind him suddenly strengthened, O'Neal suddenly remembered the time he was evacuated by Old K in the first quarter, he immediately took a step up, and when he took off to catch the ball, he turned around and faced the basket in the air.

   "Squeak!"

   Pharaoh reacted when O'Neal jumped forward, and immediately started to take a step, taking one step, just when O'Neal landed, he was in front of him.

  O'Neal was about to step up and dunk, but there was no chance. The ball in his hand was almost knocked out by old K, forcing him to lift the ball high.

   This is a tragedy. He was completely stuck to the front of Pharaoh, and there was no room. He could only forcefully jump backwards on one foot, barely jumped, and hit a side hook.

"boom!"

   missed, Pharaoh won the backcourt rebound.

  The left wing was low, and Pharaoh got the ball. At this time, Oakley came to double-team, followed by Fordson. He smashed the backhand with his back to the basket and passed the ball into the basket.

  Fordson, who followed behind, received the ball violently, and was slapped by Oakley, who was back on defense, and dribbled the ball down.

"oops!"

  Fordson fell stably, his right foot crumpled, he groaned in pain, and sat on the floor.

   "Shaq, did you see that, this is defense." Oakley with a fierce face shouted at O'Neal.

   "Go away."

   Old Wang came up with a slap, pushed Oakley directly to the floor, and scolded: "I want to teach your little brother, go and teach him."

"Snapped!"

In shame, Oakley slapped the floor with a slap, swearing in his heart that he would never owe others favors in the future. If he didn't owe Old K favors, he would definitely punch up at this time. Does Old K dare to stand in front of him in the finals? Did David Stern pull his pants down?

  O'Neal was also **** off by the words of old K, **** old K, don't point me to the boss, I'm not anyone's younger brother.

   "Oops! Don't get hurt at this time?" Su Qun exclaimed when Fortson fell to the ground.

   But sometimes injuries are unavoidable. After the team doctor's examination, Fortson sprained his right paint and couldn't play.

   The Knicks called a timeout, and Tye Lonhill stepped up.

Pharaoh felt his physical condition. He played quite hard in the G5 battle, and he has not recovered yet. Today, because he was blocked, he attacked O'Neal a lot of times. He stormed the basket, I was afraid that his physical strength would not be able to support him. Even if he barely hit the third quarter, it would be troublesome in the last quarter.

   So next, try to tackle them with a hook and then go to the rim on the defensive end.

   He discussed it with the coaching staff, and Harris certainly had no opinion.

   After the third quarter, 82:83, the Lakers were still 1 point ahead.

   Pharaoh made a lot of shots in the third quarter. He made 4 of 8 shots. After a dunk in the front, he made 3 of 7 shots in the back. All of them were nearly two-point hooks, but the hit rate was average, not at his normal level.

  Under the influence of Oakley, O'Neal's defensive moves became bigger and bigger, and there were several times when he didn't blow when he was supposed to.

   However, Pharaoh's goal was still achieved. Without the Knicks playing an efficient basket attack, Jordan still couldn't break in.

   It’s just that the Lakers played a wave in the third quarter, and the purpose of opening the score was not achieved, but it achieved another purpose and disrupted the rhythm of the Knicks.

   The Knicks originally planned to hold a stalemate in the third quarter and carry out a decisive battle in the final quarter, but they were dragged into the water by the Lakers in the third quarter. O'Neal and Jordan consumed a lot of physical energy in the third quarter, and it was a little difficult to enter the final quarter.

   At the end, all the main players of both sides played together for the final decisive battle.
