165. Start with O'Neal

The atmosphere of the Rose Garden Arena is very noisy.

The Trail Blazers' home game against the Lakers is about to start.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup was adjusted, and Liu Xiu, who played two starters, was put back on the bench. Derek Anderson, Ruben Patterson, Travis Otlow, Randolph, and Rashid Wallace made their starting lineup.

The Lakers sent a combination of Payton, Kobe, Fox, Malone and O'Neal.

At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air.

The shark is dispatched! He beats the Tianzun to win the jump ball!

This picture is outrageous!

A 147 kilogram player can actually touch the ball one point faster than the roaring Tianzun, who is known for his running and jumping ability at the peak.

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and focused on observing the game.

Prepare for yourself to play, and also help your teammates find ways.

Payton pushed the ball into the frontcourt and hung it to O'Neal who was leaning against the Tianzun under the basket.

The hearts of the fans at the scene were hanging, and they booed wildly.

The last time they played against the Lakers, they were still at home in November last year, and they were beaten by the Lakers.

When O'Neal received the ball, he heard the guilt and fear in the booing of the fans at the scene. He was very proud and hit him with all his strength!

Without any suspense, the Heavenly Lord was knocked back a big step.

The position is right, O'Neal hit the second shot, and this time he had six or seven points of force, and he was ready to turn around and buckle...

“Hey…leak…”

O'Neal took two steps in a row and sat in the reasonable collision area, and the Tianzun removed the chair!

The timing was just right. Even O'Neal, an old man who has been playing for more than ten years, has suffered a loss in any kind of defense!

This move was a bit vulgar, but it was particularly consistent with the appearance and temperament of the Tianzun. The fans at the scene immediately screamed excitedly!

It was all flat sand and geese fell on the ground, and O'Neal naturally couldn't control the ball.

Randolph and Malone rushed to grab the ball.

Radolph is not afraid of Malone than Brute Force. As a defender, he is closer to the basket, grabs the ball and picks up a steal!

Offense and defense conversion, Trail Blazers attack.

Randolph received the ball from close range, and in front of him was a big shark with fire in his eyes.

The two are quite similar in size, but the shark is a huge version of the butcher.

Let's learn from the rookie a few days ago...

Randolph leaned over, held the ball with both hands on his right waist, made a breakthrough move, and tapped the ball for a few steps in a row, then slapped the ball, took off, and took off at a big step away from the close range. He took off and shot...

O'Neal pounced up and didn't completely save it. He was experienced and knew that it would be difficult for him to continue to interfere with the cap if he didn't have the ball.

He looked at the curve of the ball flying, and based on his experience of partnering with a 13th overall player who did not want to be named, he predicted that the ball would bounce back towards him, but did not run under the basket, and reached out to wait for the board.

As a master of assisting the board, O'Neal successfully predicted the direction of Randolph's iron popping out.

but……

"Clang"

"boom"

Looking at the Heavenly Lord who hung on the basket for a second before falling down, O'Neal was stunned.

The fans on the scene were crazy!

Tianzun rushed into the inside line, and after the ball hit the basket frame and popped up the basket cylinder, he immediately pressed the ball back.

Tianzun scored points with a supplementary deduction!

This defense attack greatly boosted the morale of the Trail Blazers!

When Liu Xiu saw this scene, he jumped up and cheered in excitement.

Before retreating, Tianzun rushed to the sidelines to slam the high fives with Liu Xiu, and shouted to him: "Basketball won't lie!"

After the Tianzun roared, he quickly retreated. Liu Xiu sat down, took a deep breath, leaned on the bench, and returned to his lazy look.

"Warner, is this your idea?"

Liu Xiu turned around and saw that the overly sloppy coach sat next to him.

The smile on his face returned to his daily life, and Liu Xiu replied: "Yes, the Lakers have brought us too much pressure. We need such a goal, but I don't know if it's Tianzun who will come by himself, and I thought they would help the madmen create an opportunity."

"If you make such a demand, Rashid will definitely do it himself. Don't forget that he is one of the best players in the NBA.

But in this case, we will encounter the anger of the big shark."

Morris Chicks said so, but his sloppy face was full of bad intentions.

Liu Xiuying said: "oh, I didn't think of this. Oh my God, what should I do?"

The mouth was in line with the coach's bad taste, but Liu Xiu's body made different movements - rubbed his back on the back of the chair, adjusting his sitting posture more comfortable.

Seeing this, Morris Chicks also imitated Liu Xiu to lean on the back of the chair and adjusted the most comfortable position.

On the court, Randolph and the Tianzun had already begun to be ravaged by the big shark in turn, and the big shark vented his anger on the two of them.

97's ability evaluation?

This is just O'Neal's comprehensive performance score in recent times.

O'Neal, who was full of energy at the beginning of the game, performed at the top of the game!

The pace of the game on the court was very slow. It was 3 minutes and 58 seconds in the first quarter. Payton received the ball and missed the net and fell out of the baseline. The dead ball was the Trail Blazers called a timeout!

O'Neal started this fierce attack, making 3 of 4 shots, with two 2+0.

Compared with other superstars, O'Neal has an extremely bug-no need to consider the feel!

Even though both free throws were dead, he still scored 6 points and 2 rebounds with a shooting percentage of 75%.

Moreover, in these rounds, the rest of the Lakers only need to do one thing - to work hard on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, others just need to catch the ball and shoot the ball, and nothing else needs to be done.

This was the case with the Lakers last time. O'Neal was alone at the beginning, and the others of the Lakers worked hard to defend and scored a 9-5 start in the half quarter.

But this time it was a bit different. O'Neal scored 6 points in a singles, Kobe scored a three-pointer with Fox's second pass, and the OK combination scored 9 points in nearly 4 minutes, but only had a 2-point lead!

The current score is 9 to 7!

Facing the strong Lakers, the Trail Blazers relied on their fighting spirit to bite the score!

As mentioned earlier, the last time he played against the Lakers, O'Neal was stunning to take the Trail Blazers alive at the beginning.

In other words, no matter whether the Tianzun has the defense and attack of the big shark's face or not, the big shark will ride on their heads to show their power.

When playing against a strong inside team, the Lakers like to defeat the opponent in the strongest place.

There are big sharks, but they dare to be so crazy.

At this time, it is very useful to remove the chair and retouch the button at the beginning.

It activates the enthusiasm of teammates! It ignites the fighting spirit of teammates! It dispels the fear of teammates!

After a fight, the Trail Blazers players now find that although O'Neal's start was so cruel that it made people feel panicked, they were not really behind!

At this time, the Trail Blazers players remembered what the coach said when preparing for the game, because of tension, pressure, and fear of unwilling to admit it.

The last time they started so badly, they were actually just behind 5 to 9 in half the quarter.

After a thousand miles of collapse, I was simply because my confidence was beaten away by O'Neal.

Hold on, they don’t have a chance!

...

After the timeout, both teams have rotated the lineup.

The Trail Blazers replaced Randolph and the extrajudiciary with Dell Davis and Miles.

The Lakers replaced Malone with Horeth Grant and replaced Payton with Fisher.

The game continued. Although the Lakers replaced both Malone and Payton, they were more proactive on the court.

The Zen master did a good job of adjusting. It is known that O'Neal was stimulated and would play harder at the beginning. So why not just start the OK combination directly, so that Payton and Malone can accumulate energy for the later time.

On the Trail Blazers, the outside offense did not play well in the opening stage.

With O'Neal at the basket, although Randolph could not be beaten, he was also a threat to eat cake. Randolph's threat was much greater than Dell Davis, and the threat of snatching was much higher.

O'Neal was willing to defend and make up for close or even mid-range tonight, causing big trouble for the Trail Blazers' mid-to-close offense.

However, the Trail Blazers were really hard to play. Dell Davis played very actively. He was fouled and made two free throws in one go. He scored a tip-in, helping the Trail Blazers tighten the score.

At 6 minutes and 44 seconds in the first quarter, O'Neal grabbed an offensive rebound and caused a foul, a dead ball, and entered the official timeout.
