Chapter 181 Lonely Fatty Austria, halftime

I analyzed a long time ago that although O'Neal is very dominant, his configuration of his teammates is as high as James. He doesn't just find a few so-called superstars for him and he can win the championship. He needs a star who can attack and defend from the outside as his partner, and this can be shown from Kobe to Mr. Nine.

But Kobe is as mentioned before. Although he has entered the All-Star for two consecutive seasons, he has not reached the point of being fully offensive and defended. It may be possible next season. There is no hope for this season. Because O'Neal does not need the kind of outside line carrying explosives to rush in. He needs someone to pull space for him on the outside line and let him ravage and trample in the inside line. But Kobe cannot do this now. Before, their Western Conference playoff opponents did not have such an excellent combination of offense and defense like Zhang Tian. In the Western Conference Finals, Pippen's main goal is that Glenn Rice is not Kobe, and it is too late to react. So it cannot be counted.

The other Lakers players were dissatisfied. Although O'Neal and Kobe had a lot of defensive attention in the first quarter, the ball was also in their hands. In the first quarter, the team took 14 of them, and the others were not halfway there, so Shaq was obviously ruling the blame.

As a very sensitive and sensitive person, Kobe is unwilling to admit defeat. No matter who he is, he wants to defeat. This is Kobe's philosophy of life. But the first quarter was really bad, so there is really nothing to say about this.

In the second quarter, neither side substitution was very large. Glenn Rice returned to the starting lineup. The Zen master hoped that Rice could attract Zhang Tian's attention and let Kobe go a long way, but Zhang Tian did it at all, because he remembered very clearly that this finals, Les was a completely win-win dog. A starting lineup averaged only 11 points per game at the third position. As an existence known for shooting, he only had a shooting percentage of 40%. Although Kobe was lower than him in this finals, 36:7, Zhang Tian still did not plan to let Kobe go. If you ask why, you can only say that Rice is not as good-looking as Kobe.

So in the second quarter, a very interesting scene appeared in the Lakers' offense. Kobe broke through Reggie Miller, and Zhang Tian ignored Glenn and Rice to assist in defense. Kobe passed the ball to Rice this time. Rice was a little unexpected. When Zhang Tian saw Kobe pass the ball, he immediately returned to defense. The Lakers' third position did not expect that Zhang Tian's return to defense was so fast. He did not dribble, so he chose to rush in. As a result, Dan Crawford gave him a walk.

Kobe's face turned black again, and O'Neal was also so angry that he vomited blood in the inside. Just now, Kato pulled himself in a corner that the referee could not see. After Bartel went down to rest, this guy came up. His defense was not as strong as Bartel, but he had many small moves. Why are there so many bitches in the Pacers?

Travis Best jumped and transported the ball to the Lakers' half. Fisher had already rolled up his trousers and stole his horse, but the former seemed to have not seen it. With a whoosh, the ball flew to Zhang Tian's hand on the left, and Rice stuck it up desperately. He knew very well that his offense was so unfavorable, so he could only find face on the defensive end. As the saying goes, good offense depends on talent, and defense depends on attitude. Can you do such a simple thing?

The robbery of Rice made Zhang Tian take a step forward, and the ball was replaced with the other hand, and slapped the floor. Using Rice as the axis, he turned around and passed the Lakers' third position directly. Kobe came over from the second position with red eyes. Zhang Tian did not challenge Kobe with an angry max, but passed it back to Reggie Miller. Travis Best entangled Xiaoyu, making the Lakers' substitute guard unable to assist in defense. Kobe's return to defense was not slow, but Reggie Miller took action without stopping for a second. The ball went in again, and Pacers No. 31 continued his hot feel.

Larry Bird clapped his hands on the sidelines. His golden double guns in the first two quarters are still unparalleled. Although O'Neal in the inside is a bug, he can only score two points in a sports game.

Rice did not commit any crime next, because he had no chance at all, the ball was basically rotated in O'Neal's hands, and the Lakers No. 34 became the point guard.

O'Neal got the ball in the low post, and Kato held back his lower plate. Big Boon came to him, and the big shark was sandwiched in the middle, but the shark still forced himself to turn around with his extraordinary athletic talent and completed a dunk on Kato's head.

During this period of double attack, he is no longer useful to O'Neal. He is no longer the idiotic center in the finals with the Mosaic. The opponent has grown too much in recent years.

O'Neal continued to use the King of Western Chu to keep the Lakers' hope of victory, but the Zen master on the sidelines still couldn't laugh because Kobe and Glen Rice have not played Hu until now, especially Kobe.

He positioned Kobe as the new generation of Pippen, but Pippen can't just make a fool of himself. In the whole second quarter, Kobe only took action once. Under Zhang Tian's interference, he did not make an attempt. He is currently 0 of 7 in the first half. You are not mistaken, just 0 of 7.

Larry Bird allowed Kobe to experience in advance his previous life when he played in the 2004 finals. In that final, Kobe was on the left side and had no chance to go to the right side at all. The F4 Sky Team was also swept ruthlessly by the so-called "civilian" Pistons. What's more, Billups and Daben are the absolute core of the Pistons, and they are currently part of the Pacers.

Zhang Tian made 10 of 14 in the first half, scoring 23 points, Reggie Miller made 7 of 13 and scored 18 points, and O'Neal scored the highest 25 points in the game, but the Lakers were still 12 points behind with a score of 43:55 in the first half.

Although Zhang Tian and Miller had a gap, they did not bring this gap to the court. It is rare in competitive sports. Many ill-intentioned California media originally wanted to do something through this matter, but now they can only stop.

Zhang Tian went to the locker room to rest and met Zhang Heli, Yang Yi and his group. They did not get an interview before the game, and this time they were preparing for the interview.

"Xiao Zhang, you are 12 points ahead in the first half. Are you more confident in the second half?"
