: 752. First win in the finals!

After the suspension came back, the Hawks attacked. Liu Mang didn't know how the divisive card would be. The finals could suppress many contradictions, but let's give it a try.
After advancing to the front court, Liu Mang saw that the Lakers were still defending the counterpoint defense and beckoned to let Osttag come out to pick and roll.
Ostertag did n’t expect that he would increase the offensive end, but he was pleased to hear that. Fartdian ran out to help Liu Mang block Kobe. The other Hawks players saw Liu Mang and Ostertag Pick and roll, immediately pull the space away.
O'Neal can't prevent pick-and-roll, so usually the power forward and he switch. Wang Zhizhi immediately switched from the right bottom corner Rashid Wallace. O'Neill also blocked the right bottom line close to the bottom corner to prepare for Rashid- Wallace's catch shot.
The Lakers' change of defense is still so rapid, O'Neill is also so active, Liu Mang has been observing the running position of the Lakers during the pick-and-roll breakthrough, and found that the Lakers seem to be no different because of the role of the divisive card.
Liu Mang accelerated to break from the right side of Wang Zhizhi, Bryant ran to the right corner, O'Neill received the right edge of the three seconds zone, the Lakers changed defense very quickly.
At this moment, Jason Terry actively ran towards the top arc, Liu Mang immediately threw the ball towards the top arc, Ostertag helped Jason Terry to block Paton, Jason -Terry takes a three-pointer and takes a shot ...
Missed!
Fortunately, Liu Mang's snake-like position slipped into the basket from Wang Zhizhi and O'Neill, and the positive shot made the pop-up ball into the basket.
One of the disadvantages of the counterpoint defense is that in terms of defensive rebounds, the rushing defense of rebounds is average. Liu Mang used this very well this time. He did not pin all his hopes on the separation card. He has been observing the Lakers. Potential loopholes.
72 to 65, the point difference again came to 7 points.
The offensive and defensive conversion, the Lakers attack, Payton pushed the ball to the frontcourt.
No pass to Kobe, Kobe did not ask for the ball, but took Prince to run without the ball.
Peyton's advantages and disadvantages are obvious, and he is even more obvious when he is old. He basically has no three-point vacancy, which is very similar to Michael Jordan, who he considers to be a rival. He played without a ball is the end of the outside scorer.
Like now, Payton is very hot, watching Liu Mang step back out of the free throw line, his eyes have been glancing over to Kobe, and the more he gets more and more hot.
But Kobe went to play without the ball, Payton also suppressed his anger, ready to use a breakthrough to attract Liu Mang's defense, for Kobe and Wang Zhizhi's ball-free pick-and-roll to contain the defense.
As Payton was about to break through, he saw O'Neal suddenly leaning against Ostertag for the ball!
Kobe Bryant was originally ready to pick and roll with Wang Zhizhi, and Fisher was also ready to take advantage of the cores to attract the attention of the other party and secretly run. The Lakers started the second half of the second quarter of this game. The whole team survived, relying on the emergence of the science department.
However, seeing O'Neal asking for the ball, no one else was surprised. O'Neill is still the first offensive choice. When he has good physical fitness, he should give him a singles. The defense was so active just now.
The Lakers pulled away, giving O'Neal room to play inside.
Ostertag struggled to resist the seemingly violent O'Neill. Although he did not lose, O'Neill's position was not good, but Ostertag did not dare to relax a bit. The other party was O'Neill!
Liu Mang saw Peyton passing the ball in, saw O'Neal receiving the ball with a murderous face, and was about to vomit blood, how could this fat man become more active!
Seeing O'Neill struggling to squeeze Ostertag into a little space, the huge body was very flexible, turned around and took three toes on his toes, slipped through a little space on the bottom line, and moved the ball from the bottom to the top of the basket Dunk into the basket!
Ostertag has tried his best to hinder O'Neill, but he is not as flexible as O'Neill. When he turned around, O'Neill had already smashed the ball into the rim.
The point difference has been reduced to 5 points!
Seeing O'Neill taking the step of the king in the audience's booing, Liu Mang did not expect that O'Neill could be so fierce at this stage. Liu Mang expressed despair at the role of the divorce card, and did not expect to make O'Neill even more irritable!
Now, the thing to do is to take O'Neill's gruff time! Before the end of the third quarter, the Lakers can not be close to the points difference! The advantage of 5 points must be maintained.
When the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang saw that O'Neill had become more active with Ostertag than before, allowing Ostertag to come out and pick and roll, O'Neill moved actively on the bottom line.
Really big head, Liu Mang took the Ostertag pick-and-roll, Peyton stared at Jason Terry very tightly this time, and Kobe went to change the corner of Rashid Wallace's corner to make O'Neal. Liberate back to the basket.
Liu Mang can only choose to put Wang Zhizhi's defensive stop jumper at the free throw line. He made a partial body shot and shot twice on the neck of the basket, dangerously falling into the basket.
Still 5 points difference!
Subsequently, O'Neal once again singled out Ostertag, succeeded, and shot towards the small hook of the front basket that turned around on the line.
Looking back, the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang did not continue to pick and roll with Ostertag, but passed the ball to Jason Terry. Jason Terry faced Payton's defensive three-point shot and missed!
Liu Mang is not hurting it, is it right? Do n’t pass it to Jason Terry. Today, this guy ’s shot efficiency is really poor, but, unexpectedly, Ostertag actually grabbed an offensive rebound on O’Neal ’s head. ! Directly make up the basket to score two points!
It's not that O'Neal doesn't snatch, but he didn't squeeze Ostertag completely, and Ostertag got a second chance to attack!
When the Lakers attacked again, O'Neal still asked for a single in the ball. O'Neill's two singles were just too beautiful. A back kick from the bottom line and a small hook from a turn are not purely legendary. A big shark playing ball, walking and walking.
Payton continued to hand over the ball to O'Neal, and others also pulled the space away. Now is O'Neal's singles moment.
Liu Mang guarded against Payton's cut, because the space was very open, really gave Payton a cut, O'Neill scored a goal, Ostertag could not care behind.
But at the same time as Payton, Liu Mang is also watching O'Neill. He always feels that O'Neill is a bit wrong in these rounds.
Positive is very positive, even more active than usual, and even the offensive skills seem to be better ...
This makes Liu Mang feel even more wrong ...
At this moment, O’Neal ’s third consecutive singles after suspending back, still could not squeeze or hit Ostertag ’s body specifically for his meat, again chose to rely on footsteps and technology, but This time, Ostertag has already had two experiences. O'Neill's footsteps have not been able to shake Ostertag, he can only force a throw, missed! The ball hit the rim, O'Neal wanted to make up the ball again, but the ball was stabbed out of bounds by himself!
Liu Mang saw these eyes bright!
It's not right here!
O'Neill obviously hasn't recovered his physical fitness. Now he should have rested, because before the official suspension, O'Neill just played two! Only 2 in 1!
Now O'Neill is playing hard for performance! Even the back buckle of the bottom line of the turn was played, and the action was completely made with insufficient physical strength and impatient.
O'Neill is grabbing the offensive end!
...
As expected by Liu Mang, O'Neal does indeed grab power on the offensive end.
The Lakers were prepared to try to tie the score at the end of the third quarter.
The Zen Master has such self-confidence because he has the OK combination; Kobe and O'Neill also have such self-confidence because they are the OK combination; the rest of the Lakers are also very confident because they play together with the OK combination.
For five years, since Jordan retired, the synonym for NBA winning is the OK combination.
For O'Neal, if he has good physical strength, he will play two. If he has poor physical strength, he will stand and compress the opponent's inside defense to the basket. This will help his teammates have a chance. When his teammates can attract the inside defense, he can receive the ball directly. To score, this style of play is too comfortable.
When Kobe started to use his strong ability to pass for the inside, both Malone and O'Neal played comfortably.
Therefore, O'Neal is now very satisfied with Kobeken's passing style.
O'Neal just walked onto the court, that is, when Liu Mang used the diversion card, O'Neal suddenly had an idea in his head: Phil, the clever Phil, would give up my support for Kobe?
For the Zen master, the effect of alienation is completely suppressed by the Zen master ’s own psychological adjustment ability. He can use Dennis Rodman to be docile, and neither Vicky nor Chuck Daly can do it. In other words, the Zen Master can do this. The Lakers have many conflicts this season. They have to switch to a team with three All-Star players. Maybe the playoffs are difficult, but the Zen Master is using all external factors and team factors as checks and balances. For example, the Eagles ’70 wins, the Spurs defeating them last season, the Timberwolves snatching the first in the West ... and other factors, used to adjust the contradictions within the team, and use the Eagles’ strength as the key to suppress the contradictions within the team.
With these methods, the Zen Master has little effect on him.
But for O'Neill, he was originally a self-confident and proud fat man who was easily provoked. It was only after he won one championship after another that few people dared to anger when he was still at his peak. He was.
In the same way, he is very emotional. Kobe wants to grab the position of his boss. He doesn't pass the ball to him, and he doesn't care about Kobe.
The conflict between O’Neal and Kobe is nothing more than a fight between the boss and Kobe ’s dissatisfaction with O’Neal ’s failure to speak when he is in trouble, leading to O’Neill ’s dissatisfaction with Kobe, but both of them have strong ambitions. When they all value their opponents before the start of the series, their strength can definitely be called the strongest duo in history.
For the Eagles, OK attaches great importance, so it suppresses the contradiction between each other and tries its best for this game. This is also the basis for the Zen master to adjust the relationship between the two when they are impulsive.
However ... Although O'Neill has a good relationship with the Zen Master, he has a lot of fat eyes. He always felt that the Zen Master is a smiling tiger, and the players under his hands are not so much a relationship between coaches and players. The use of players, or mutual use.
O'Neill's understanding of his relationship with the Zen Master is like this. In the past two years, O'Neill clearly felt that when Kobe started to become the team's first offensive choice, the Zen Master obviously began to pay more attention to Kobe. This season is also because of Kobe's file. Only then did the relationship with the Zen master reach freezing point.
Thinking of this, O'Neill's proud heart felt humiliated.
He is not unable to accept less drama, nor Kobe to become stronger, but can not accept being used as a stepping stone for another person.
However, O'Neal did not give up the game or sing a counter tone to the team's tactics. Although he loves to be lazy, his competitiveness is not much worse than that of Kobe. He is only self-confident in his own strength.
Therefore, O'Neill chose to rely on his strength to prove himself!
He didn't relax on the defensive end, the bottom line blocked the bottom line, the anti-basket defense under the basket, the offensive end also worked very hard, but not for other people's efforts, but chose the inherent tactics, his singles link!
...
When Liu Mang learned about O’Neal ’s situation, the tiger ’s body was shocked, and the offensive motivation became stronger. He beckoned to get Ostertag out, but instead of pick-and-roll, but when bypassing Ostertag, The ball was handed over to Ostertag and cut into the inside.
Kobe and Wang Zhizhi immediately chased into the empty Liu Mang, when Ostertag cooperated with Jason Terry, who took Peyton to the top arc, and passed the ball to Jason Terry. Standing behind Jason Terry, blocking Payton, Jason Terry received the ball and rushed to the right of the free throw line.
Finally entered! 78 to 69, the difference is 9 points!
Sure enough, when the Lakers attacked again, O'Neal was still asking for a single in the basket. However, O'Neal was not the 28-year-old who was at the peak four years ago. He can average 26 shots in the Finals and average 38 points per game. Great shark!
Now O'Neal is like a twenty-four or five-year-old, who encountered the big white bear that was used to deal with him, and he has no physical fitness when he was young!
Finally, in this game, Ostertag gave O'Neal the first big cap!
Liu Mang was ready long ago, rushed to grab the ball, did not fight back, but waited for O’Neal to run back to the half and landed, continue to let Ostertag refer to the high position, continue to make O’Neal now active Rashid Wallace to make up the bottom line.
Although the Hawks failed to make two consecutive shots, O'Neal's side also withered off the offensive end. After making two consecutive shots, he did not make three consecutive shots!
Moreover, not only does Kobe ’s singles make the Lakers ’enthusiasm stagnate, too many singles will weaken the enthusiasm of the team. O’Neal ’s strength is because he does not have many singles. Two or three singles in the game, two or three shots from teammates, 20 shots per game is his standard number of shots in his peak period, even if he averaged 38 points in the finals, a third of the goals are still It was his teammates who scored the ball directly for him, so the Lakers can only play during the consecutive championships, which is when Kobe is suppressed by the Zen Master and his strength is not released. The Lakers play relatively smoothly.
Now, O'Neal has become Kobe, and 2 of 5 shots is not particularly ugly. Anyway, he has scored two consecutive goals. However, the Lakers' enthusiasm for running positions in the previous quarter of the game has become stagnant because of these three minutes!
Seeing that the third quarter was coming to an end, the point difference was not reduced, but expanded to 9 points. Kobe saw that O'Neill had to ask for the ball. He stopped and asked for Payton!
Payton is also very surprised how O'Neal suddenly changed himself, the defense is really active enough, but overactive, the offensive end has been singles, this time, he chose to give the ball to Kobe.
Kobe forced a direct shot against Prince's defensive three-pointer!
Prince gave enough interference, Kobe Bryant's three-pointer back!
Ostertag stuck O'Neal and Liu Mang grabbed a defensive rebound.
In the final attack of the third quarter, Liu Mang slowly advanced to the frontcourt. It took time to watch O'Neill standing behind Ostertag, panting, and had to sigh. Duncan could have that at 40 Performance is really amazing.
The Lakers also waited for the Hawks to spend time. They did not choose to lose their defensive position to suppress the defense. They did not narrow the point difference. They were originally unwilling, but they were still very calm. They did not let the point difference be pulled up to more than 10 points. , Is their task now.
Liu Mang dribble dribbling, left index finger touched his nose, more than a second later, when there were 12 seconds left in this quarter, the ball was suddenly thrown towards the basket.
It is totally unreasonable to start the attack so early and throw the basket directly! The Lakers thought Liu Mang was going to run out of this quarter, but Liu Mang didn't expect to make a decision suddenly!
The Lakers players' sights follow the ball and see the ball fall directly in front of the rim. Rashid Wallace appears in the sight and puts the ball into the rim!
Wang Zhizhi was thrown away by Rashid Wallace ’s sudden back run. O’Neal wanted to make up, but he was too weak and he could not squeeze!
With the Lakers' last attack handed to Fisher, but Fisher feels bad today, did not enter the open three points, finished three quarters, the Lakers 69 to 80, 11 points behind the Eagles!
...
Originally, it was a lot of physical energy. During the recovery period, once again spending energy to singles was originally one of the best players in the league to defend him, playing more tired!
This made O'Neill already accustomed to the physical rhythm of physical exhaustion and physical recovery that was played for a few half-rests. When the fourth quarter began, the Lakers sent Liu Mang, Prince, Rahim, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff's starting lineup, when the O'Neal played Ratliff two trembling power, O'Neal could not move, but instead was counterattacked by the Hawks!
At this time, the Zen master discovered that O'Neill was not right. O'Neill didn't touch Ostertag at the end of the third quarter. This is not particularly surprising. Even if O'Neill is of good age at this age, playing Ostertag is not. A particularly safe choice, 2 of 5 shots were close, but when playing with the Jazz, it was 3 of 5 shots, or even less than 50% shooting rate is normal, occasionally not Up to 50% is normal.
And O’Neal did n’t say that he could n’t do it anymore. He ’s such a lazy man. The Zen Master did n’t think that O’Neal would hold on to show himself. The situation is good, just fell down and met Ostertag, fell down and encountered the situation that the Jazz directly sent to the Hawks. In the fourth quarter, he saw the Eagles over Ratlft. When he dropped his training uniform, he immediately blew his whistle to allow O'Neill to continue his singles.
But after hitting two of Ratliff and not scoring, the Zen master discovered that O'Neill really couldn't move!
Really tired!
He discovered that O'Neal was brave, and the Lakers were the same!
With Liu Mang hitting a counter three-pointer and Rahim following an empty dunk, the Hawks played more than a minute in the last quarter, hit a wave of 5-0, opened the score to 85-69, leading by 16 points !
The Zen Master had to call a timeout, because he saw a terrible scene, O'Neill actually chased Rahim who grabbed a defensive rebound and ran to the center line!
Anti-attack counterattack? Is this still O'Neill?
Go too far!
Seeing the Lakers play for a minute over there called a timeout, Liu Mang felt that it was time to catch up with the victory!
Liu Mang returned to the bench and said to coach Kruger: "Coach, if I am not wrong, the fat man is tired and has to rest!"
"Huh?" Coach Kruger was thinking about how to fight back after facing the Lakers timeout. Hearing Liu Mang's words, he immediately looked at the Lakers. O'Neill was leaning his head on the back of the chair. All shaking because of a big gasp!
good chance!
Like Liu Mang, Coach Kruger's idea is to chase after victory!
...
After the timeout, the Lakers replaced O'Neal. Wang Zhizhi moved to the center position. Malone, who should have rested for a few minutes, came on the field. Fisher, Payton and Kobe played outside.
The Lakers had intended to send such a small lineup, a wave of ruthlessness, and caught the Eagles by surprise.
However, the Zen Master did not expect that his lineup was very unreasonable. The Lakers should not send such a lineup in the fourth quarter, but the Hawks team is even more unscientific!
The Hawks lineup has begun to become anger again, Stockton, Liu Mang, Prince, Rahim, Kwame Brown played.
Anti-Payton, Stockton is enough, Liu Mang and Prince go against Fisher and Kobe.
As for the Lakers who seem to have a Marlon presence and obviously have an inside advantage, they can't get into the basket because the two insides seem to have an advantage, but they have no inside lethality!
Rahim ran with Wang Zhizhi, Kwame Brown squatted down the basket, when Malone received the ball in the middle, Kwame Brown couldn't go out at all, Malone adjusted, facing the air tempo, Kwame Brown ignored it , Malone was depressed, simply cast, and also entered, scoring for the Lakers in the first quarter.
However, Kwame Brown picked up the ball immediately after Malone scored, Stockton returned to the basket for the first time, Kwame Brown sent Stockton immediately to the bottom line, and Stockton pushed forward. Fight back! Kwame Brown galloped past Stockton and ran to the frontcourt, while the other three Hawks have already started to go down!
On the sidelines, the Zen Master saw Rahim rushed to the basket and received a pass from Stockton to attract Kobe and Fisher's pinch. He scored the ball to the follow-up Liu Mang, Liu Mang made a three-pointer, and the Zen Master Return to the sidelines and read the Heart Sutra.
There is no way, he can't sustain O'Neill's physical fitness. He can't understand what happened to O'Neill. He is also very dissatisfied with O'Neill, but he can't show it. This is the professional quality of a chicken soup master. He is professional ...
...
In the fourth quarter, the Hawks started a counterattack, knowing that the Kobe and Malone of the Lakers are about to start their offensive, so the Hawks did not choose to defend. Kobe, this guy, defense is sometimes his. Motivation, I saw it in the last regular season game, and today Kobe's 12-for-25 shooting rate is really scary, and it is like that. The shooting rate is still close to 50%, so the Eagles simply took advantage of O'Neill. Absent, the Lakers couldn't hold back the rhythm and desperately fought back.
Regardless of whether Kobe or Malone can shoot, Kwame Brown is waiting at the basket to grab a rebound and serve the ball ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Simple and rude, blocking others from the outside gives Malone a chance to shoot.
This has a huge disadvantage to the Lakers' counter-attack. Malone's mid-range shot, even if it is shot, does not interfere with Kwame Brown's serve and O'Neal scored low. The biggest feature is that he covers a large area. At the beginning, it interfered with the opponent's serve speed.
But Malone CIC cannot do this.
It is even worse for Malone to fail to shoot. Wang Zhizhi's low singles Kwame Brown ... It's miserable, it might be better to open up space for Malone, but Malone's low singles Kwame Brown is not much better, he is also very now .
Without O'Neill, for the Lakers, not only is there a lack of a defensive gate under the basket, not only one of the strongest offense on the offensive end, the impact on the Lakers is comprehensive!
The Zen Master allowed the Lakers to defend the counterpoint defense in order to allow O'Neill to use his defensive deterrence when his physical fitness is exhausted and needs to rest, so that O'Neill can stay on the court as much as possible and suppress the opponent's counterattack.
However, O'Neill went down, all previous efforts were in vain!
Halfway through the fourth quarter, there was already a 17-point difference, and it quickly opened to 20 points. Even if the Lakers scored goals, the Hawks will immediately catch up.
After O'Neal simply went down in the fourth quarter, he hadn't played anymore, because it was no longer necessary! By the half of the fourth quarter, the score had been 100 to 78!
Kobe refused to give up, and the Eagles changed into a conservative lineup when the official suspension in the fourth quarter. Liu Mang took Prince, Barnes, Mohammed, and Ratliff. To polish the rest of the game.
In the end, Liu Mang scored 36 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 4 turnovers, helping the Hawks to beat the Lakers 112 to 94 at home and won the finals!
