Chapter 407: I recognize you as the big brother!

, The fastest update, I’m so accurate in shooting the latest chapter!
But for the Mavericks, or for Kobe, the good news is that O'Neal will not be able to play tonight, which is still their biggest advantage tonight.
And Johnson, as a defensive coach, also made another defensive adjustment from field to field.
The defensive strategy of the Mavericks has changed from Kobe's single defense on the field to a defensive strategy of Bell's main defense, and then cut off the connection between Sun Hao and his teammates.
In other words, Johnson means that Sun Hao can continue to score 50 points, but don't think about 10+ assists.
Moreover, Kobe maintained the offensive state of the previous game, and after liberating the defensive end, once again scored points with Sun Hao.
As a result, even though Sun Hao's offensive end is still full of firepower and 47 points, the Lakers still lost to the Mavericks 89-100 on the road.
It is worth mentioning that, except for Sun Hao, only Finley scored more than 15 points for the Lakers.
The role players of the Lakers exposed the shortcomings of their lack of autonomous offensive ability under this intensity of the game.
It was this game that made fans realize one thing: the basketball game is always for five people.
Even if he is as strong as Jordan, he has been "educated" by the Pistons before meeting his Pippen.
And really speaking, the Mavericks team with Nowitzki and Kobe is no weaker than the bad boy army.
It is already a miracle that Sun Hao can win the game without O'Neal in the last game.
This kind of miracle is named because it is extremely rare. If it is everywhere like Chinese cabbage, who would think it is a miracle?
And what more can you ask for a player who has 40+ back-to-back in the playoffs and scored 100 points in two games?
The good news is that O'Neill is coming back.
After getting plenty of rest, O'Neal's injury has improved significantly and he has met the playing requirements.
In the offseason training session between three and four games, O'Neal was like a rookie in the first day of the NBA game, and he was extremely dedicated.
A person of his character, facing Kobe, sitting for two games abruptly, really suffocated him.
Even during the full-court confrontation training, he dunked with both hands through Divac.
Divac asked with a question mark on his face: The contradiction between you OK, the final result of co-authoring is that I have to be separated by the two of you?
But when Phil Jackson saw the ball, he didn't pay attention to Divac's feelings. His inner joy was revealed on his face.
In O'Neal's state, the probability of the Lakers winning the next game is at least 80%.
After playing Tianwangshan with the Spurs, he didn't want to return to Los Angeles with a 2-2 score.
"Shaq, I will pass you more."
After the training, Sun Hao said to the anxious O'Neill.
After two consecutive crazy outputs, he can finally relax a bit.
The feeling of getting a high score is cool, but after the cool is finished, it is tired.
This is the same thing as that.
"No, you make more shots on the outside, and I will play to check on the inside."
But O'Neill's reaction surprised Sun Hao.
The meaning of this sentence can actually be understood as: I will give you a hand!
This is nothing like what O'Neill would say!
Just like when the two talked about the MVP, O'Neal would only say "I think it's okay to give you the MVP" instead of "You should get the MVP"!
The meaning of the two sentences is completely different!
"Don't look at that. I'm 34 years old. Do you really think I can score 40 points and grab 20 rebounds every night?"
O'Neill's subsequent words made Sun Hao even more surprised.
The two have been working together for a season now, and O'Neal has never said about his age.
It seems that the injury this time has changed his view of the game.
However, O'Neill's subsequent words made Sun Hao understand what his transformation was.
"Did you know? Since being swept by Hakim in the Finals that year, I told myself that I must never lose again. In order to do that, I must become strong enough to carry the team. On one's shoulders.
Over the years in Los Angeles, whether it's Kobe or a hairy boy, or after he has played, I have been doing that. I told myself that when the boy feels bad, I will grab every rebound. Because I can't lose.
So even if you come to Los Angeles, I do my best every night when I play games. I know everyone is waiting to see my jokes. What a stupid decision a management chooses to keep a 34-year-old veteran is. .
But in the past two games, I discovered one thing. God is fair to me. He first let me meet a very selfish guy, and then let me meet a very selfless guy, and this selfless guy, Strong enough to let me let go. "
Sun Hao flushed uncontrollably after listening.
Although it's not as straightforward as Malone's, but O'Neill is embarrassed to say this.
However, there is nothing wrong with this. Any player who saw his teammate scored 100 points in the two games of the playoffs when he was 34 years old would be willing to play support.
Although O'Neal is arrogant, but not the kind of arrogant Kobe.
What's more, Sun Hao and Kobe gave him too different feelings, even two extremes.
Kobe has not yet reached that level of strength, so he has to compete with him for power, while Sun Hao is already very strong, but has been passing the ball to him.
Not to mention that he is O'Neill, a normal person can't stand this kind of goodness.
So in general, it is quite normal for O'Neill to say such things.
"Shaq, you can still dominate the game, you are not old yet."
Sun Hao said.
O'Neal's dominance at this age is actually still there, and his biggest problem is the hidden danger of injury.
"Of course, how can Shaq get old, but that doesn't affect what I just said."
O'Neal, it seems that he is determined to do that.
Sun Hao nodded. O'Neal had said so. It would be inappropriate for him to say that you are leading the offense.
"Then, let us take not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4, 5, or 6 championships!"
Sun Hao then said what O'Neill had said to him.
After listening, O'Neill laughed loudly, then stretched out his hand to look at Sun Hao and gave him a slap.
This is regarded as a formal agreement between the two!
That night, the fourth game of the Wizards and Pistons series took the lead at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Wizards took the initiative in the series after taking a 2-1 lead. If they can make another game away on the road, then promotion will become a high probability event.
But the Pistons obviously won't let them do what they want.
After a downturn, Anthony scored 29 points for the recovery of his hand, and told the world that he was still the sweet melon with his actions.
And the Pistons did something similar to what the Mavericks did, completely cutting off the connection between other role players and Yao Mai.
As a result, even though Yao Mai and McGrady scored 55 points, the Wizards still lost 87-94.
Well, Sun Hao is familiar with this score.
In those years, the Houston team under the coach of Van Gundy always scored many points and regretted losing, and even the role players combined to score less than 20 points to lose.
Van Gundy's tactical system relies too much on the core.
Facts have proved that he does have shortcomings in this regard, even Hamilton is about to be used by him as an ordinary role player.
With a 2-2 tie, the Wizards and Pistons are about to usher in the battle of Tianwangshan.
Jordan will not be happy with this result, but the fans love it. You know, they haven't seen the tiebreak since the start of the playoffs.
It would be great if one can come to the conference finals, or two can come to them to watch.
The next night, the fourth game of the series between the Lakers and the Mavericks opened at the National Airline Center Arena.
It is worth mentioning that the training of the two teams today is completely closed and not open to the outside world.
So before the game, no one knows what the two teams have prepared for tonight's game.
This makes fans look forward to it.
O'Neal's return, and the mysterious preparations for the game, all of this filled the sense of anticipation of the game.
That night, the National Airline Center Arena was full, and the fans were looking forward to it.
The eastern side has already tied 2-2, and they naturally look forward to the Mavericks team being able to make another victory at home and also have a battle of Tianwangshan.
But it's not as simple as the last game for the Mavericks to win tonight, because O'Neal is back with the Lakers.
After the opening ceremony before the game, the starting lineups on both sides were released one after another.
Compared with the last game, the starting lines on both sides have basically not changed. The only change is that O'Neal replaced Divac and returned to the starting lineup.
Because Dampier started in the first game of the Mavericks, the starting lineup on both sides is also the first time since the series.
The game started immediately, and the starting players from both sides appeared one after another.
At this moment, there was a small detail on the court. O'Neal smiled and glanced at Kobe when he was on the court.
The expression seemed to say: Brother is back!
"beep!"
With a whistle, O'Neal took the lead and pulled the ball from Diop's head, giving the Lakers a chance to take the lead!
One thing can be seen from the opening jump ball: O'Neal's desire to play tonight is not lower than the first game of the series!
Johnson also trembled inexplicably. Is O'Neal going to stage the first shark-out game tonight?
But soon, he realized that reality was a little different from what he thought.
O'Neal, instead of sinking directly to the basket to catch the ball like in the first game, he twisted his big and ran to a high position to play a pick and roll for Sun Hao.
This choice surprised Johnson and let him breathe a sigh of relief.
If O'Neal takes over the Mavericks again in the post, then he can't bear it.
But what Johnson has overlooked is that O'Neal has just returned from injury and it is unlikely that he will fight again.
If you really fight again and lie down, it will obviously be worth the loss.
Bell once again hit the south wall, and Sun Hao took a three-pointer with cover.
This is his classic cooperation with O'Neill.
"when!"
It is a pity that his first shot missed the frame.
It can be seen that the physical consumption of the past two games is still very large.
Johnson was ecstatic when he saw this.
O'Neal didn't go to the basket and Sun Hao was over-consuming his physical energy. Tonight, the Lone Ranger won more than expected!
Not to mention, he also prepared a killer tonight.
In his excitement, he got up and walked to the sidelines and shouted to speed up the attack.
Kobe, after playing a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, and after the pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to Nowitzki!
Everyone was shocked!
To know the past three games, it should be exactly this season when Kobe was in the Mavericks team. After he got the ball, he basically did it alone, including the pick and roll with Nowitzki, just to create a chance for a misplaced singles.
But now, he actually passed the ball!
This is Johnson's killer.
Some people may say that Kobe's current character is impossible to pass Nowitzki.
It is true, but everything is variable.
This variable has to start with Nowitzki's hug and those encouraging words after the second defeat.
Just like O'Neill recognized Sun Hao, after that incident, Kobe also recognized Nowitzki.
So maybe he still doesn't believe in others and is unwilling to pass it on to others, but Nowitzki, he is willing.
Nowitzki, mid-range shot after receiving the ball.
"Huh!"
Still a familiar silky shot, Nowitzki steadily sent the ball to the basket!
The Lone Ranger team came out on top!
There was thunderous cheers.
In the opening attack and defense, the Mavericks completely suppressed the Lakers.
A signal from this is: they can win tonight!
"Defense! Defense!"
This also made the fans on the scene excited, and spontaneously started cheering for the home team.
Although, the game has just begun!
The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, and Johnson's eyes were still on O'Neal at this time.
With his knowledge of O'Neal, a teammate who missed a pick-and-roll opportunity would probably go to the basket and attack by himself.
As long as Diop can defend against O'Neal, the "potential" will be entirely on the Mavericks side.
In home battles, this "potential" will play a huge role.
Uh... O'Neill ran to play a pick-and-roll for Sun Hao again.
Johnson froze for a long time.
I didn't expect you to be such a big shark!
O'Neal's opening performance was clearly supporting Sun Hao!
This is incredible.
Not to mention this season, even when he was with Kobe, O'Neal played a limited number of pick-and-rolls for Kobe.
In O'Neal's own words, it is so easy for Laozi to score from the basket, and playing the pick and roll is a waste of energy.
But now O'Neill has changed, and Johnson no longer knows him.
Then, Sun Hao used O'Neal's pick-and-roll to make a quick breakthrough!
The hitting of the first ball made him realize that he felt bad tonight, and he started to kill more towards the basket!
Diop obviously couldn't keep up with his reaction and tried hard to chase Sun Hao, but the shot blocked in the end was lonely, watching Sun Hao quickly make a low layup.
Sun Hao, got the Lakers' first 2 points tonight!
O'Neill looked as happy as Sun Hao. He waited for Sun Hao to come over and took the initiative to slap him, and turned his head to look at Kobe.
Well, he is back, and he continues to love Sun Haoxiu again!
What.the.fxck!
Kobe broke out.
This is simply unbearable. After he got to the front court, he took the ball and started rushing inside.
His breakthrough in the last game was unsatisfactory, and in this game, Christie still couldn't stop him.
He broke through the defense and broke into the inside, and he got up to be...what do you want!
When O'Neal came back, the Lakers' inside strength was not at the same level as before.
It is simply unrealistic for Kobe to play with O'Neill. He can only show his waist and abdomen in the air and stage a difficult recoil.
O'Neal's defensive pressure was too great, and Kobe's shot finally hit the frame!
O'Neal turned around and grabbed a defensive rebound!
On the other part of the court, Johnson couldn't help but reach for his forehead.
His assassin seems to have disappeared after only one round!
That sentence is right, the country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change!
Kobe can try to make some changes when he is rational, but after being stimulated by O'Neill, he is back to who he was!
This is probably the biggest difference between him and O'Neal.
Well, O'Neal continued to mention pick-and-rolls for Sun Hao in high positions. His goal tonight is to become the NBA's first support.
Another pick-and-roll went in, and the Mavericks' line of defense moved towards Sun Hao, who threw the ball directly into the air.
He has never been a player with only the basket in his eyes!
O'Neal took off almost at the same time.
Natural tacit understanding from the instant kill combination.
"Boom!"
In the exclamation of the fans, O'Neal caught the ball in the air and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands!
The city of air pick-up!
The slightly lower sense of presence in the previous rounds made some fans feel that O'Neal became afraid to play after being injured.
But the ball just now is announcing to everyone: the big shark is back with full blood!
The scene was restless.
The "potential" Johnson expected did not appear.
On the contrary, the cooperation just now made the Lakers bench boil, and the Lakers have the meaning of getting up and running.
Kobe, after the breakthrough, the emergency stop jumper hit!
Johnson said that his heart can't stand it a little, this half angel half devil, normal people will have heart disease sooner or later.
4 to 4!
The opening performance of both sides played a different taste from the previous few games, but what is certain is that it is more exciting than the previous few games!
O'Neill, continue to play pick-and-rolls for Sun Hao!
This time, Sun Hao forced Diop to take a big step backward with the fake action of breaking through the pick and roll.
The lethality of Sun Hao's first two breakthroughs is too great, and the MVP halo bonus is not for fun with you.
But because of that, Diop obviously overreacted.
Then you may not believe it, because O'Neal blocked Bell to death, and Sun Hao got a completely open opportunity.
He rarely adjusted his breathing, took a glance at the basket and then shot.
Because the first ball was missed, he was looking for shooting rhythm.
This shot is almost a textbook action of a single-action shot.
After the ball is shot, it spins in the air and draws a perfect parabola.
"Huh!"
Then with a crisp sound, the basketball dropped into the net bag steadily!
Sun Hao scored a three-pointer!
The Lakers' bench is boiling again.
Everyone knows how important Sun Hao's hand feel is to the Lakers!
Johnson certainly knows!
He didn't hold his forehead this time, but rubbed his forehead vigorously.
"Position", fell to the Lakers side!
Kobe, after the breakthrough, made a jump shot.
But the moment he shot, a huge shadow pounced on him.
O'Neill!
Kobe didn't expect that O'Neal, who was too lazy to move inside, would jump out!
O'Neill tonight really refreshed his perception!
He thought he played with O'Neal and knew enough about O'Neal.
He can only be forced to shoot too high, and the ball can be passed over O'Neal's fingertips, but the angle is obviously off.
"when!"
Kobe continuously shot iron!
Malone has a defensive rebound to protect it!
"Shaq looks a little different tonight."
In the commentary, Kenny Smith also found that O'Neill was different tonight.
"This guy behaves like Sun's little brother."
Barkley deserves to be a big mouth, and he and O'Neal have a lot of grudges. Although he is now a "Lakers fan", he still has to be black if he seizes the opportunity.
Smith nodded seriously after thinking for a while.
This scene caused Barkley to laugh wildly.
He did not expect Smith would nod his head!
Smith seemed to realize that he was also black O'Neal with Barkley.
"What Shaq did tonight is very similar to what Carl did in the last game, but he can obviously do much more."
In order to conceal it, he still explained.
Barkley couldn't stop laughing.
But there was a lot of joy in his smile.
Because he knew that O'Neal did this, it meant that he had actually given up the position of the Lakers boss.
In the Lakers era belonging to Sun Hao, next season is coming soon!
The Lakers played a defensive counterattack. After receiving the ball, Sun Hao rushed forward, avoiding Fisher's steal and dunking with both hands.
Because of the fierce rush, he dunked and swung around the rim before landing.
Los Kurt!
The scene was restless.
If it weren't because Sun Hao was wearing a purple and gold jersey, they would already want to count cheers for Sun Hao!
This used to be their Sun Hao!
But now, it can only be someone else's!
4 to 9!
The Lakers began to open the score.
After Nowitzki received the ball, the Golden Rooster leaned back and shot wide.
After the "potential" fell to the Lakers, the offense of the Mavericks began to be affected.
Moreover, after O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound, it was another long throw. Sun Hao once again staged a one-stop fast break, avoiding Fisher's defense in the air and putting the basket to score!
4 to 11!
Johnson was forced to call a timeout.
O'Neal didn't score much after his comeback, and only scored 2 points in almost five minutes.
But the Lakers quickly established a lead.
There is no other reason, simply because of defense!
After O'Neal's return, the Lakers' defensive ability on the inside has increased exponentially.
Kobe likes to take the inside like the first two games again? impossible!
Even the Mavericks want to grab offensive rebounds.
Just as Sun Hao knew, O'Neal's strength in this period was still at the dominant level, and he was only in danger of injury!
Back from the timeout, Kobe pulled away to contain the defense.
Johnson shifted the focus of offense to Nowitzki.
And the Mavericks started playing their best misplaced singles.
Nowitzki misplaced against O'Neal, and made a fall-back jumper.
Still the "Silver Horn King" familiar to fans, this action looks like a defender.
6 to 11!
Johnson's timeout was very successful.
But looking back, Sun Hao went on to play a pick and roll with O'Neal.
And after he went outside, he didn't rush to take a shot, but waited for O'Neal to cut through the ball.
There is a real tacit understanding between the two. O'Neal is already ready to receive the ball. After he gets the ball, he grinds Bell to easily score.
6 to 13!
The Lakers' offense is simple and rude, but the Mavericks just can't help it!
At this time, fans discovered that after O'Neal's output was changed to assist, it was still outrageous!
Nowitzki played O'Neal again, this time Malone had a defense.
Nowitzki divided the ball to Diop.
Diop's layup was directly blocked by O'Neal who returned to the defense!
Diop, how good the defense is, how bad the offense is!
Otherwise, if he also has offense, he would not be a role player, but at least an absolute main force like Okafor!
Christie showed his ability to react with the scalpel, spotted where the ball fell, rushed to grab it, and then lay on the ground and threw the ball to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao took the ball on a fast break. This time he passed the ball to Finley, who was on the other side, in the fast break. Finley flew into the basket and scored.
6 to 15!
The score difference has reached 9 points!
Johnson's suspension did work, but it was clear that it was not enough.
Kobe, got the ball and started doing it alone.
Johnson's tactics didn't work, he started to play his own.
But he showed his ball quotient. The ball beckoned Diop to come out on the pick-and-roll, dribble to the free throw line and pitch one.
O'Neal couldn't expand that position. Although Christie's shot interfered a little with Kobe's shot, he still made the ball with his excellent personal ability.
8 to 15!
After the goal, Kobe stretched out his hand to make a fist.
He won't give up easily!
Sun Hao, and O'Neal made another three-pointer after a pick and roll.
"..."
O'Neal is determined to play support tonight, and Sun Hao is constantly upgrading, beginning to show his powerful output firepower!
8 to 18!
The Dallas fans, who were originally full of momentum and cheered for the home team at the beginning, began to feel a little uncomfortable.
Half a quarter, the difference is already double digits!
Maybe at this time they realized one thing, they were a big defeat in the first game of the series!
After two games, I was able to keep anxious with the Lakers because O'Neal was injured!
But now, O'Neal is back...
Well, at this moment, there is an uncontrollable feeling of despair in the hearts of the fans.
Then, their despair lasted the whole game.
Facing the output support combination of Sun Hao and O'Neal, the Lone Ranger team couldn't stand it.
Some people may think that the Mavericks team is not that weak, but in fact, the issues of play and understanding are really important in basketball games.
If Kobe can explain to Johnson and keep playing pick-and-rolls with Nowitzki, the Mavericks still have a dozen.
But it is a pity that Kobe's character during this period determines that he will not do that.
If you use elementary school mathematics to measure the combination of the two sides and the two teams, O'Neill and Sun Hao are 1+1 far greater than 2, while Kobe and Nowitzki are still less than 2.
Coupled with O'Neal's presence, Kobe couldn't score by attacking the inside as he did in the past.
So it's not surprising that the game is like this.
In the end, similar to the result of the first game, the Lakers beat the Mavericks 105 to 89 away!
The game of 2 to 2 Tianwangshan that the fans expected did not appear. The Lakers took a 3-1 lead after winning the game.
They have already got the match point of the series!
Unlike the first game, O'Neal did not kill the Quartet tonight. He scored "only" 21 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 blocks.
The Lakers scored the most points or Sun Hao, who scored a game-high 37 points, almost creating the first playoff game in NBA history with 40+ in three consecutive games.
It's a shame not to be able to set a record, but it's not a shame to face this result.
And the Dallas fans who watched the game were even more desperate because they found they couldn't find the point where the Mavericks could reverse the series.
This makes them feel unacceptable.
You must know that the Mavericks, Lakers and Spurs were recognized as the first echelon team in the Western Conference.
The Spurs and the Lakers played in Game 6 and regrettably fell behind after Sun Hao scored 51 points.
However, the Mavericks only won one game after O'Neal was injured and unable to fight after four games...
This is far from what they imagined!
But it was also at this time that the fans realized how strong the previous Spurs were compared with the Mavericks.
"The strongest team that can stop them has been eliminated in the semifinals, and now no one can stop them from winning."
Towards the end of the game, Barkley started his big mouth again.
Smith on the side nodded in no hurry.
The Wizards and Pistons in the East are very strong, and even if the Lakers can win, winning the championship is not easy.
Of course, he understands Barkley's habits, and it's not him if he doesn't speak big words.
In the press conference after the game, the Lakers were the visiting team after the Mavericks.
Unlike the previous dull and even desperate atmosphere, the Lakers press conference can really be described with ease.
"I don't know why the combined score of me and Sun is 58 points. Maybe it is because Sun had beaten others by 58 points in Dallas before?"
When O'Neill is happy, he shows his funny style.
Only after tomorrow's report went out, a certain wolf king in Minnesota from UU Reading www.uukanshu.com said he was offended.
"During the game, we noticed that you didn't attack with the ball much. Is it because you just returned from injury, or because Sun feels better?"
The reporter posed such a question to O'Neill.
It is not only the players and fans on the sidelines that can feel O'Neal's play differently tonight, but also the media reporters.
"neither."
O'Neill smiled and shook his head.
This move made the reporters stunned for a moment, and also made other reporters look at O'Neill.
They always feel that what O'Neill will say next will be a very important thing.
Facts also proved that their hunch was correct.
"Because Sun is now the boss of the Lakers."
O'Neal said unhurriedly.
