Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 179 Magic's wheel battle!
Lakers offense.

Fisher points the ball to O'Neal.

Bang-!
Amici was still knocked away.

Turn around, kick up, dunk.

Clang.

O'Neal dunked Amici and scored two points.

The difference between the two sides is only 1 point.

Li Mu shook his head.

In just one round, O'Neill shattered all of Li Mu's luck.

O'Neal is unstoppable! !

John Ameche, Tonnage looked, had hope of blocking O'Neal.

pity.

Height, flexibility, extra volume, and technically, Amici is still far from enough for the undrafted pick.

O'Neal always has a way to solve the opponent.

In other words, Li Mu used Amici as a surprise soldier to defend O'Neal.

I didn't expect it to be so useless.

The Magic attack.

Taking advantage of his height, Jermaine O'Neal made a two-point jumper on Big Ben's head...!
Swish-!
O'Neal's mid-range shot is very reliable.

At his peak, he can play the flash performance of a superstar, which is any good shot.

Coupled with his physical talent, O'Neal is also very fierce.

Looking back, it was still O'Neill.

At this time, O'Neal, who received the ball, chose to pass the ball.

The assist made an empty cut to Kobe inside, the Tomahawk dunked and scored two points.

As the fulcrum of the triangle offense, O'Neal's offensive power is not low.

In the game, with the return of O'Neal and Big Ben, the wind direction on the field began to fall to the Lakers.

At the end of the first half, the score was 62 to 60. The Magic team was 2 points behind in the score and entered the locker room to rest.

Came back in the second half of the game.

Li Mu made a change.

Replace O'Neal with Amici.

The starting lineup is McGrady, Jackson, Hill, Duncan and Amici.

For the Lakers, Jackson did not change the lineup, it was still Billups, Kobe, Lewis, Ben, and O'Neal.

There are still four members of the former Blacksmithing Squad.

Bowen, in this game, sat on the bench.

The game started and the Lakers attacked.

Billups dribbled to the frontcourt, or cut outside to the corner of the three-pointer, and handed the basketball to Lewis.

The latter, hand to hand, passed the ball to Billups.

Jackson was blocked, and Billups shot a cold three-pointer...

Bang-dang-!
Billups made a shot.

The rebound was picked off by O'Neal, landed, lifted the ball, and waited for Amici to fly, O'Neal then got up, carrying Amici's body, with a bang, and scored with one hand.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded, the goal was valid, and O'Neal scored 2+1! !
Swish-!
On the free throw line, O'Neal played more levelly and steadily scored free throws.

60 to 65! !
Offensive and defensive transition, the Magic attack.

McGrady singled out Kobe, posed an offensive threat, and swayed the ball. After Kobe's defensive center of gravity shifted, he immediately started, accelerated, and broke through to the inside with his long legs.

With a very quick first step, Kobe took a passive step back.

McGrady didn't give Kobe a firm footing, so he stopped and made a jump shot without reason...

Kobe quickly threw himself to block the block, and it seemed that the defensive action was very well done.

Swish-!
McGrady's shot was accurate.

62 to 65! !
"McGrady's talent is terrific.

Kobe's defense, but entered the defense for a while, can be called the ceiling of perimeter defense.

However, McGrady's long wingspan and high shooting point made Kobe sigh. said Kenny Smith.

"Next, look at the Lakers offense, will Kobe come back?

Sure enough, Kobe reached out for the ball in the frontcourt and singled out McGrady. "

On the field.

Billups passed the ball to open the space.

From outside the three-point line, Kobe also put on an offensive three-threat.

Probe, lift, make a shot?

McGrady was unmoved and let Kobe almost one step away.

Facing the tactic of releasing snakes.

Kobe made a dry three-pointer and caught McGrady by surprise.

Fortunately, McGrady knew that Kobe's three-pointers were not allowed.

Swish-!
Have it.

Kobe played with confidence and made a three-pointer without missing a miss.

62 to 68! !
Looking back, McGrady broke through with the ball, pulled the ball up, flicked it in the air, and threw the basketball to the basket.

Duncan made an air cut and jumped up, and Ben also jumped up, with a bang, an alley-oop, Duncan dunked with both hands, and scored a strong two-pointer.

64 to 68! !
The Lakers attacked, and Billups ignored Kobe's request for the ball, but passed the basketball to O'Neal who was in place.

Catch the ball, drive away, layup, bang.

What a neat offense.

The Magic's defense simply couldn't stop it.

64 to 70! !
O'Neal's offense is very unsolvable.

Strangely, Li Mu still didn't attack.

In addition, the Lakers shot very accurately from outside, and the game lasted 6 minutes.

The Magic fell behind by 8 points.

Afterwards, Li Mu made adjustments.

Replace Amici with O'Neal, and at the same time, let Duncan and O'Neal change positions.

"The Magic are on wheels!
Never flanking O'Neal, it seems that he wants to consume O'Neal's physical energy.

Now look at Duncan, can he block O'Neal's impact..."

Bang-!
On the field, Duncan was knocked away by O'Neal.

It was still a fresh move, turned around, layup, and with a bang, dunked.

Duncan couldn't hold back either.

The score expanded to 10 points.

Fortunately, Duncan received the ball, and in front of O'Neal, he made a mid-range shot and made a precise hit with the same swish.

The point difference returned to 8 points.

On the court, the game was very anxious.

Duncan PK O'Neal, no one can do anything to the opponent.

The two exploded each other.

Li Mu frowned.

The magic team could carry out a wheel battle. As a result, Duncan was on, but it still couldn't stop O'Neal from scoring.

That's not why Li Mu frowned, what Li Mu was more worried about was the Lakers' perimeter.

Lewis hit a three-pointer.

Billups hit the back door of the Magic, hit a rebound and hit two points.

Coupled with Kobe singled out, it is also unstoppable.

After the third quarter, the Magic had fallen behind by 13 points.

The Lakers' offense is unstoppable.

Defensively, it also makes it difficult for the Magic to break through.

McGrady's organizational skills are still much worse.

In addition, Corbett deliberately asked him to single out, and the rhythm was very passive.

The Magic have always been singled out by stars.

The gap with the Lakers' triangle offensive tactics is getting bigger and bigger.

"The Magic are starting to get overwhelmed.

Still too young.

This Magic team hasn't experienced a tough battle yet.

Plus the Lakers are in good shape tonight.

It is not surprising that the Magic will trail by more than 10 points. "

In the fourth quarter, Li Mu replaced Amster, Miller, Hill, Magloire and O'Neal.

Raise the offensive rhythm, charge, and see if you can change the situation on the field.

Jackson let Kobe, Big Ben, Ginobili, Lewis, Ron Harper play.

Tactically, there is no conservative, and the magic team is bombarded.

Harper holds the ball, goes up the court, and passes the ball to Ginobili.

The demon knife came out of its sheath, tore through the Magic's defense, and made a layup to score the basketball.

Armstrong breaks through, points the ball outside, Miller swings without the ball, catches the ball, and shoots a three-point jumper...!
"The Magic are betting on threes.

Will Miller's shot come through? "
