I'm the boss in the NBA

257 Chapter 257

After the start of the second quarter, O'Neal reappeared. In the 12 minutes of the first quarter, he only rested for 2 minutes at the last moment. However, due to the weak center position of the Lakers, he couldn't rest on the bench for too long.

Unlike Randolph, he has a reliable Robert Horry who can be replaced. If he is off the team, the team's offense and defense will go to the next level.

But soon after O'Neal came on the court, he made a walking error. He couldn't do one against two of the Nuggets' defensive players, not to mention Stoudemire and Camby were not easy people.

In this section, the Lakers focused on the interior, and O'Neal got consecutive opportunities to cause fouls by the Nuggets, but the poor free throw percentage prevented the Lakers from narrowing the point difference.

Halfway through the second quarter, Camby received a pass from Su Yi and turned around for a layup. O'Neal waited for it, jumped high, and blocked the ball with a overwhelming momentum. A shot-blocking king, in the end, he was disgraced when he met O'Neal.

McGrady grabbed the basketball that was blocked by O'Neal, quickly completed a counterattack after getting the ball, and made a quick breakthrough in the Nuggets halfcourt. Not only did Prince fail to defend his shot, but he was also awarded a 2+1.

After Tracy McGrady made a free throw, the Nuggets attacked. Su Yi made a quick breakthrough and passed the ball between Fisher's legs. When Fisher turned around to see, Marion had already hung on the basket to complete the dunk.

O'Neal got the ball in the low post and prepared to play singles. Stoudemire and Camby double-teamed him. O'Neal distributed the ball to the outside in time. After McGrady got the ball, he made a decisive shot and made a steady three-pointer, helping the Lakers to increase their lead to 5. point.

Afterwards, coach Mayfair Jackson replaced O'Neal, who had played for 18 minutes, and moved Randolph to the center position. Randolph seemed to be more interested when he encountered Stoudemire's defense with the ball. What does this first-year rookie do, he doesn't have any malicious intentions, he just wants to have fun with Su Yixin's younger brother.

Under Randolph's wanton impact, Stoudemire had no choice but to retreat. His physical fitness was also very strong, but facing the strong Randolph, Stoudemire seemed like duckweed in the wind, like dirt lifted by a bulldozer, standing still. Can't hold his heels.

Randolph's bulldozer-style back play worked. He pushed Stoudemire's defensive layup twice in a row and caused a foul by Stoudemire.

But O'Neal's end also gave the Tunneling team a chance. On the offensive end, they rushed up and used the quick whirlwind again. Randolph made a mistake in a hurry and got fouled twice in a row. In addition to the two fouls in the first quarter, he has scored four times Foul.

O'Neal, who had just rested for more than a minute, could only go into battle again and replaced Randolph, who had been fouled four times.

Randolph seemed indifferent, he just wanted to score enough points and make the data look better. As for helping the team win?

What Randolph thought in his heart was: Your Lakers are going to trade me, and I will give you a game!

O'Neal returned to the court, and the Heat still focused on the interior. O'Neal used his strong body to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the Nuggets' interior combination, whether it was Camby, Stoudemire, Big Zhi or Donnell. Wei, no one is his opponent, and can only prevent O'Neal from entering the basket by double-teaming and helping defense.

If O'Neal can advance to the basket, let alone a double-team, it is difficult for three people to block his dunks in place.

After a layup after turning around, O'Neal successfully helped the Lakers successfully increase the point difference advantage to 10 points, which is also the biggest point difference since the start of the game.

In the last minute of the first half, Su Yi broke through with the ball and entered the interior. After attracting the attention of the Lakers defenders, he hit the ground and handed the ball to Wang Dazhi, who was in an excellent position on the outside. Wang Dazhi slightly adjusted his height after receiving the ball. Gao Yueqi shot the ball. It was a long-range shot from beyond the three-point line. Da Zhi rarely shot from this position before, but that didn't mean he didn't practice this kind of distance.

As a shooting insider, Dazhi has long been familiar with shooting from the NBA three-point line. He usually does not shoot because his mid-range shooting percentage is higher and he is more sure. Naturally, he would not be polite when he gave out his mobile phone. After the basketball was shot, Da Zhi watched the flight trajectory of the basketball nervously. It was not until it began to fall that Da Zhi relaxed.

As a professional shooter, he can naturally see where the basketball landed. The ball was shot squarely and went into the net hollow.

However, O'Neal was still unstoppable. In the next round, he dunked the ball into the basket vigorously with both hands. The basket was shaken by O'Neal's violent pull. Broken.

This vigorous slam dunk also reminded the fans of the scene when O'Neal smashed the rebounds. Fortunately, the rebounds and rims used by the league have been updated. Not even a rebound is enough.

In the end, the Heat ended the first half with a 9-point lead.

To a certain extent, both teams have their opponent's invincibility. For the Lakers, O'Neal is invincible inside, and for the Nuggets, Su Yi and other pitchers can always find open opportunities to shoot from the outside.

The duel between these two teams can be regarded as the most intense offensive and defensive duel in the regular season so far, but it is not known whether it is the tip of the spear of the Digging team or the hard shield of the Lakers.

Although this game is of great significance in Su Yi's heart that he must win, after all, he promised Kobe to win O'Neal, but seeing how strong O'Neal is, if he wants to win the game easily, he must not continue to grind with them like this. , I must take over the game, otherwise the outcome is really hard to determine.

Both teams rely on the six or seven main players to attack and defend. After half the game, these players were very tired. Recover a little stamina.

But Su Yi didn't want to give them this chance. Under his leadership, the Nuggets forcefully pressed forward and defended the interior without any effort. This kind of fierce confrontational defense affected Fisher's possession of the ball. Under Su Yi's close pressing, Fisher still showed his flaws. When he controlled the ball to avoid Su Yi's pressing, he never wanted to be seized by Prince. Throw the basketball to Su Yi.

Su Yi attacked with the ball, but found that McGrady had retreated to the three-point line. As Su Yi's former teammate, McGrady naturally knew that Su Yi had the habit of rushing forward after stealing.

Seeing that McGrady had defended well, Su Yi didn't shoot immediately. McGrady was very close, less than one step away, and shots from this distance were easily blocked.

Just when McGrady focused on Su Yi, thinking that his defense was in place, Marion had already quickly ran into the three-point line from the middle, and Su Yi used a hook motion to throw the basketball towards the backboard.

This is an ultra-long-distance hook. Even Olajuwon may not be able to make it. It is estimated that only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, known as the sky hook, can do it.

McGrady looked at the basketball flying in the air, thinking that this is impossible, no matter how good you are, you can still hit a three-pointer with a hook.

Sure enough, McGrady's guess was right, Su Yi did not hit the three-pointer with the hook, at least this time he didn't hit it, but as the basketball bounced off the board, Marion just jumped up and caught it, taking advantage of the trend to make a three-pointer A powerful dunk, smashing the basketball into the hoop.
