Chapter 46 Beautiful fans on the sidelines
Van Exel dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and O'Neal was still standing at a high position and was lazy. Van Madman was about to come by himself, but at this time O'Neal wanted to get the ball, making the hand shape that Fan Madman had just been preparing to throw the ball into the hand shape of passing the ball.︽
The Sharks got the ball at a high position. With Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing already on the decline, Shaquille O'Neal is the league's first active center. As an inside killer, O'Neal has many offensive methods. Even if he launches an attack at a high position, O'Neal can easily score.
However, this time, O'Neal met his opponent. Daben held O'Neal tightly, and O'Neal couldn't stand it at all. This made O'Neal's idea of showing off a wave of back-playing, so he had to pass the ball out again, and then hid to the low post and didn't ask for the ball.
The ball was about to leave by Elden Campbell, and Van Exel was also happy to give it to Elden Campbell. He felt that as long as Elden Campbell moves faster, he could get an assist.
Elden Campbell also felt that his attack was sure to win this time. After holding the ball, he leaned against Derek Coleman and was ready to score a goal with his back. But they didn't know that Derek Coleman now is no longer Derek Coleman who was not defending at all.
Of course, Jonny couldn't be sure whether Derek Coleman had turned into a wrong and turned into a right position, so Jonny looked at Derek Coleman defending Elden Campbell alone. Even Ben Wallace, not far away, did not run over to help Derek Coleman make up for the defense. They all wanted to see if Derek Coleman had turned into a right position.
Joni even thought that if Derek Coleman was still the same as before, he would immediately ask Rick Pitino to replace him.
However, Derek Coleman's next move surprised the Celtic players!
Elden Campbell pushed Derek Coleman hard, he felt that he would definitely make Derek Coleman retreat directly, but the fact gave Elden Campbell a loud slap. Derek Coleman didn't move at all! And when Elden Campbell launched the second hard slam, he once again plucked up all his strength to push up!
Elden Campbell's second hardtop failed again, and when he was unwilling to go through the third time, Derek Coleman suddenly took a step back!
This is the defense of the stool withdrawal! Seeing this scene, Joni couldn't help but shout in his heart, and at the same time he couldn't help but run towards his frontcourt! Because the next step to the stool withdrawal is to cut the ball!
Sure enough, Derek Coleman took off the stool, took a step forward, cut the basketball directly, and threw it to Jonny. The Celtics' fast break started instantly! The starting point of this fast break was Derek Coleman who never defended! And the successful defense of Derek Coleman just now surprised many people who knew that Derek Coleman was not defensive!
Elden Campbell was already a little unbelievable. Derek Coleman actually defended him perfectly, and he couldn't help but doubt his attack. The Silver Fox Del Harris was even more surprised. He had studied the Celtics before the game. He originally thought that Derek Coleman would not play in this game, and Derek Coleman suddenly appeared in the starting lineup and surprised him. Now, the surprise turned into a fright.
Derek Coleman does not have defensive ability. On the contrary, as a talented player with physical and technical skills, Derek Coleman's defense is also very good. It can even be said that Derek Coleman, who is defending with all his strength, can defend anyone! But that was Derek Coleman at his peak. If Derek Coleman really starts to defend with all his strength, he will be almost the same as Elden Campbell, who just played him alone.
But even so, his defense is much better than some offensive power forwards. After all, Elden Campbell is a defensive insider and naturally has outstanding defensive skills.
The Celtics' fast attack easily hits. The Lakers seem to have no habit of defending fast attacks. Joni chose to put the ball into the basket without a defensive player around.
Next, it was the time for the Celtics to perform. The Lakers, who were a little absent-minded and had no intention of fighting, faced the Celtics' tough defense, had no choice but to start the fast break at any time. Perhaps they didn't want to care about the Celtics' fast break at all.
In this case, the Celtics actually played the Lakers 16:4 at the opening! The booing in the Great Western Forum venue has resounded throughout the world, not only for the Celtics, but also for the absent-minded Lakers.
Amidst the boo, Joni took the ball and rushed straight to the inside, activated the W skill of the Desert Butcher, and rushed to the inside, and it was a dunk! The boo in the stadium was getting louder and louder, but in a corner of the stadium, there was a cheer. The cheer was not very loud, and it was easily drowned in the huge boo. But this time, Joni finally noticed it and turned his head to look at it. He was a group of Chinese fans.
In addition, Joni actually saw Julia Roberts in the front row of that corner! She held her little niece Emma Roberts, and when she saw Joni looking at them, she reached out and greeted Joni.
Now Joni knew what the phone call yesterday meant. It turned out to be to watch his own game. Did you say it earlier? It hurt that I couldn't figure it out no matter how I thought about it! Joni complained in his heart, and at this time the Silver Fox Del Harris finally couldn't help it and called a timeout.
Joni also waved his hand at Julia Roberts and got off the court. At the beginning of the game, the Celtics' current leading advantage was amazing, so that Rick Pitino couldn't stop smiling. However, the Celtics had nothing to arrange for this timeout. After all, for the Celtics, they are the ones leading now. They just need to maintain the current rhythm, which is the best adjustment.
As for the Lakers, Del Harris glared at the indifferent Shaquille O'Neal: "Shake, no matter how you look at the current score, I will only give you one task! Win this game! We are already 12 points behind! This is the beginning of the first quarter! I think if you still look like this, we will definitely lose a bad loss. Shake, you have to understand that this is your team. If your team loses a game that should not be lost, what will the people outside say?"
The Sharks were finally moved a little. Del Harris did not make any other arrangements, but just scolded O'Neal, and then asked other players to try their best to hand over the ball to O'Neal, even if it was adjusted.
However, this adjustment of the Lakers is the real and effective adjustment. The Sharks are now at their peak. Even Michael Jordan is difficult to compare with the Sharks in terms of pure strength. The Sharks' power is naturally the best adjustment for the Lakers.
