Basketball: Beginning with a double-kill high school James

Chapter 113 You hold on, wait for me to come back

O'Neal made three fouls in the first half, so he didn't play much with the 5-pointer. The Lakers' most stable performance was still the postman who scored 5 of 4 and scored 8 points, which was much better than Payton, who was 4 of 1 from the outside.

But the Trail Blazers led by 6 points at halftime, and what they paid for was that Li Qi played the full 24 minutes. Except for a timeout, he never rested at all. The first half of the Lakers' Big Four played 20 minutes, 17 minutes and 4 minutes respectively. O'Neal played 4 minutes, so Li Qi must rest for a few minutes at the beginning of the second half.

"Xiao Li played a full game in the first half. I have to say that the young man has good physical strength. If he is selected for our national team, then there is no need to worry about the defenders' movements being deformed during the competition."

Zhang Lili was talking on CCTV, while George Karl in the commentary had doubts about D'Antoni's employment, "Why did Rich play full in the first half? Although he is young, is it too hasty to overuse him? This game is just a regular season after all. The core of the team didn't rest for a minute in the first half. If they don't take a rest in the second half, the Lakers will soon be able to overtake the score."

Li Qi was very tired in the locker room at home, and D'Antoni couldn't help it. He is a very characterless head coach. Li Qi didn't mention rest in the first half, so he didn't replace him.

"I need to rest for a few minutes in the second half, you hold on. Wait for me to come back."

Judging from the number of O'Neal's halftime fouls, the referee still whistled according to normal standards today, but that's the case. The Trail Blazers only led by six points when O'Neal didn't play for 1 minute in the second quarter, and Payton and Kobe were both turned into war criminals.

In the second half of the game, D'Antoni sent a lineup of Brent Barry, Sprewell, Corey Maggette, Randolph, and Milicic. The madman went to play the first position. He dribbled from the middle and ran to the right. The sixty-degree position, Payton was still in front of him, and the madman did not use the speed to shake off the opponent.

Brent Barry ran back from the baseline to the perimeter. Sprewell handed him the ball and started running to the other side. Facing Kobe's pursuit, Barry lobbed it to Randolph who was near the right block. Randolph leaned against Malone and found that the 40-year-old man was completely unable to support him. He passed the ball to Maggette who made an air cut to the basket. Maggette wanted a layup. to.

Devin George picked up the rebound and dribbled it before passing it to Payton, losing the best opportunity to play a fast break. The Lakers No. 20 went to the front and handed the ball to Devin George.

Sprewell's passing was very patterned, as long as he saw a teammate open, he passed. He didn't even think about whether the opposing defender deliberately sold his flaws. He dribbled the ball to the middle, saw Barry had a chance at 45 degrees on the right, and passed it directly to the opponent. As a result, Kobe cut the ball in the middle.

The moment Kobe stole the ball, O'Neal ran forward knowingly. Although there was a gap between the two of them off the court, they still knew each other very well on the court. After all, they had been together for seven years.

It's a pity that O'Neal has long since lost the speed he had when he first entered the league. Milicic caught up with him, and the entire Blazers returned to defense quickly. Kobe didn't play by himself and passed the ball to Payton.

The postman is filthy, but his IQ is still among the best in terms of stats. As a result, Malone only made one free throw this time with 70.00% of his free throws.Li Qi couldn't help applauding his teammates from below, the rebound was also grabbed by the Blazers, and all five of them ran very fast, including Randolph.

After he came to the penalty area and received the ball, he turned his back and shot. Kobe chose to foul in the back, and Randolph stood on the free throw line.Both free throws were made, and the Blazers led by 7 points.Li Qi could sit off the court for a while longer.

It's a pity that Li Qi was not happy for too long. In the next attack, Payton directly lobbed it to O'Neal at a place far from the three-point line.

The Trail Blazers were not affected by the interference ball. The victory over the Spurs had a huge impact on the entire Trail Blazers team. They re-established a winning culture, which is very important for Portland.

The madman dribbled the ball beyond the right three-point line, and Maggette ran to the right block.Maggette didn’t get rid of Devin George and chose to pass the ball to the madman. Malone rushed over like crazy when he saw Sprewell receiving the ball, and let go of Milicic, who was already near the free throw line.

The Blazers are still clinging to the [-]-point gap to prevent the Lakers from catching up, but what I have to say is that with Li Qi off the court, no one outside the Blazers dares to shoot outside the three-point line. Although D'Antoni encourages everyone to shoot more, generally no one will shoot unless there is a wide open.

Therefore, when the Blazers did not have a three-pointer, it became the opportunity for the Lakers to chase points. In the next round, Payton passed the ball to Devin George, who was on the right corner.O'Neal just tiptoed lightly this time and poured the ball into the basket.Randolph and Milicic tried their best to stop but still couldn't stop the Sharks who had entered their peak period. This is the dominance of the league's active No. [-] center.
