Vol 3 Chapter 396: Shaq also did

In this Magic Home game against the Lakers, the team had a very large public opinion advantage before the game, and it was also able to have an advantage after the game began. It was almost the first time that it used its own inside advantage. Almost incisively, O'Neill's terrifying inside ability is almost no one on the Lakers can block slightly.
After the start of such a game, it is almost certain that the Magic team will definitely take the initiative at their own home. Even the Magic team with extreme inside advantage can completely suppress the Lakers in the game situation. This is No problem at all.
Therefore, after the start of this game, the fans of the Magic are quite crazy, and very relaxed, crazy because they are about to become the first in the East, and will soon become the only team in the league to maintain a nine-game winning streak, and easy It’s because the process of winning the league’s first and nine-game winning streak is too easy. Compared to an opponent like the top five Lakers in the league, the Cavaliers are probably more than the Lakers in the eyes of the Magic fans. It is even more difficult to deal with, because the gap between the inside and the Lakers is almost impossible to threaten this team.
It’s just that when the game starts, fans of the Magic who want to celebrate their victory before the game has started, after the game starts, after the first offensive and defensive ends of both sides, when the game continues, the situation The completion turned into another situation, this is not to say that the original √ long √ wind √ text √ learning, ⊕fwx. It is expected that the dominant Magic team has not prevailed. In fact, the Magic team that has an absolute inside advantage is in Of course, the game situation is absolutely dominant, just. The game is dominant, this does not mean that the score is dominant!
"This. What the is going on? The Lakers are leading? The Lakers are leading!"
"Am I right? The Lakers are not being beaten by us? Why are we behind in the score, and so much behind?!"
In nba. Of insiders get the world, it’s not just that inside players are closer to the basket, so they have a higher percentage of hits. This is just one aspect. One reason why the insiders’ world is more important is that, generally speaking, A team with a strong inside line rarely makes mistakes when playing inside tactics. There will not be many offensive turnovers, and there will not be many opportunities for the opponent's fast break. It is precisely because of this very correct offensive choice, so the situation of the game is generally in the hands of the internal team, basically the ability of the internal team to control the rhythm of the game is stronger.
Of course, the Lakers and the Magic have an absolute advantage in this game, so when the game starts, watching the Lakers being suppressed by their own team, the Magic fans on the sidelines did not care. What is the score of this game, because the gap between the two sides is too big, not to mention that the fans at the scene do not care so much about the real-time score. I am afraid that even the Magic coach on the sidelines will not care so much about the advantage of his team. If Nima can lose, then this is definitely a joke for God. Therefore, the Magic coach has been sitting in his seat with a smile since the game started.
Compared with the magician Johnson on the other side, it is almost a Zen master level. Magic Johnson after the start of the game, especially after the end of the first offensive and defensive rounds of both sides. After seeing the team start the second defensive round, seeing the team actually change the tactics he arranged before the game to play that extremely passive half-shrink defense. The magician is quite worried.
Of course, he knows that such a semi-contracted defense will make his team's internal disadvantages slightly lower, and his team's rim protection will be better, but the biggest problem with such passive defense is passive, in other words, this kind of The defensive style affects the team's offensive quite a bit. Just like when the Lakers and the Clippers played, the Clippers used the semi-shrinkage to be almost the same. The Clippers' idea at that time was to completely protect the basket. As for the offense, this Need to see fate, this Nima is just telling the Lakers that we have surrendered, but you want to humiliate us, no way!
Now that the Lakers are doing this, this is not directly telling the Magic that we have surrendered, but you want to humiliate us, no way!
Of course, the tactical change of the Lakers is certainly not something that a player on the field can decide. The reason why the Magicians didn’t play this kind of defensive way that is relatively safe and not easy to make a tragedy must insist on facing the Magic team because he I feel that his team can still win, and the hope of winning is not so small, at least it has a greater chance of winning than contracting defense, so he gave his players persistent orders, although the first in this game An attack made the Magician a bit embarrassed. He seemed to underestimate O'Neal's strength. This is a player who has more dominance in the basket than David Robinson and Olajuwon.
But even so, the Lakers on the court want to change his tactical layout. If Lin Han didn’t give advice, other people would not dare to mess up. So, when the Lakers change the defensive tactics at the beginning of the game, the fool can see Come out, this is Lin Han’s arrangement. Although the Magician certainly trusts Lin Han, the fact that Lin Han did this undoubtedly made the magician wonder if Lin Han would give up the game for the purpose of protecting mvp? After all, as long as this game is not played by the Magic, O'Neill actually wants to recover the gap between the two sides on the mvp, which is actually quite difficult, so for Lin Han, as long as the game does not lose too much Tragically, as long as his statistics are not so bad, the Lakers lose to the Magic is acceptable. After all, so many expert media outside are not optimistic about the Lakers before this game, then it means that even if Lin Han lost the score, They also have no room to play.
In fact, after the Lakers changed, the Magic's head coach Hill had this idea. Lin Han showed O'Neal before the game and told O'Neill after the game began, buddy, we surrendered and played with it. This is perfectly reasonable, not to mention that Hill would think that, for example, Larry Bird and Collins are even the same as the fans on the sidelines, even O'Neill himself thinks so, but O'Neill is not prepared to lightly play.
of course. If Lin Han really had such an intention, the magician would not deny it. After all, the team really did not play well against the Magic. Lin Han does not want to lose much, which is understandable, but although the magician will not disagree, he will definitely be quite disappointed.
However, what the Magicians and almost everyone on the scene did not expect was that after the Lakers suddenly played a trick that seemed to surrender and confess, when O’Neill laughed and accepted this kind of gift, he even more crazy strengthened his offense. when. The result at this time was not the Lakers’ failure like the Clippers. Instead, when the first game of both sides was accepted under the strong pressure of the Magic, when everyone finally focused on the score. At the time, when the Magic were off the field, this Nima score was 16-20, and the score actually fell behind!
If the scores of the two sides were stuck for a while before the first quarter, it can be explained that everyone just started the game. There will inevitably be a variety of problems in the feel, especially O'Neill. After hitting the first goal in the first half, the subsequent scoring efficiency is not very high. Everyone can understand a little bit. After all, O'Neal played the 76ers in the last game and played 20 of 26 shots in three quarters. The strongman who scored 46 points faced the 76ers. Although this team is incomparable with the Lakers, but the inside is slightly better than the Lakers. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, O'Neill will be able to find the texture sooner or later, but by the end of the first quarter, O'Neill has not been able to fully find the texture. 3 out of 10, got 8 points. This score is actually not low, but That's a lot worse than O'Neill's normal level.
Therefore, when the players of both sides end after the first quarter, the fans of the Magic team on the sidelines are almost speechless at this time. They really enjoyed the process of this game. Their own team is almost It is pressing others to fight, and he is constantly attacking on his side, and the other party also very consciously chose to retreat and shrink, all of which are developing in the good direction, but as a result, Tai Nima is difficult to accept!
Of course, although the fans of the Magic are very uncomprehensible at this time, or even completely unclear, they still have no dissatisfaction with their players. O'Neill almost completely suppressed the Lakers' inner line, and Hardaway faced There is no panic about Lin Han's defense. If the team's shooting rate is not high, Hardaway's organization and offense are almost perfect, plus the team's playing is quite smooth, compared to the Lakers East. The West's attack with a mallet, the Magic team is much stronger, if this is the case, the team coach Hill is certainly no problem.
"Why are the Magic behind now?!"
When the first quarter of the game between the two sides ended and the Magic players came down from the court with some confusion and incomprehension, Collins's words almost blurted out after watching the live score, which almost said everyone's voice.
Although Larry Bird didn't say anything, the now-browed former Celtics legend looked directly at the Lakers No. 24 who was talking and laughing with his teammates. It seemed that the kid was After setting up the team's new defensive tactics on the field, the game has changed!
"Does this kid really see that the Magic are afraid to shrink the defense? How is this possible?!"
When thinking of this, Larry Bird's face is quite unsightly at this time. This is not because he can't see the Lakers leading. Instead, if Lin Han really glances at Nima, Omar sees O'Neill's fear of shrinking the defense. The Magic Fear of shrinking defense, this Nima is too evil? !
You know, although the Magic are not the public enemy of the league, there is still a gap with the public enemy team of the level of the Lakers Bulls. Most teams have not targeted them at this time, but the link between the defense and the inside and outside of the Magic team, this It’s already a huge problem in the league. Most of the league’s teams have thought of countless ways, and most of them have failed. The most successful one is the Bulls’ forced strangulation of the magic outside. Let this Only the team can't take care of it both inside and outside. Eventually, the Bulls succeeded, and the Magic were almost killed by the Bulls!
However, the bull’s victory cannot be used as a reference textbook, because that kind of tactics can only be played by the bull, and the next turn of play is difficult to say. Even the bull himself is not sure whether he can get the other’s Inside, so I ventured to pinch the Magic's outside line, know that if you can't pinch the Magic's outside line. Then this is the rhythm to be spent by the Magic.
Therefore, although the Bulls played the magic quite miserably. But the Bulls did not theoretically defeat the Magic, as for Lin Han's layout at this time.
Contraction defense is a very passive defense. With the progress of NBA, and the change of rules is becoming more and more unfavorable to the inside, such tactics are used much less frequently. You must know that before the 1980s, NBA shrank the defense under the basket during the flood era. But the mainstream, at that time, there was no three-point line, and there are not so many outsiders who like to play fast break. Even a lot of insiders can directly grab rebounds and play fast breaks because of their talents. Chamberlain often does this. Similarly, the tactics are not mature enough and the space utilization on the court is not enough. Therefore, shrinking defense has become the mainstream , Everyone's ideas are very simple, everyone has so many super insiders. We can't let these insiders come to the basket, then we can only shrink and let these insiders out, and the outside players at that time were also quite simple. Because there are no three-pointers, the basket is also a two-pointer, and the distance is also two-pointers, so many outside players have to kill the basket even if they are not in the top of their head. When an outside player puts the field of the duel under the basket, the fool knows. It's really strange that inside players can play dead outside players. At that time, outside players can rise. The best outside players of that era, Jerry West and Lord Belle, were really pitted to death, especially Lord Belle.
Of course, that was during the wild times, and now, because there are not as many strong players in the league as before, tactics are also rich, and there are more and more high-quality outside players. There are also three-pointers, nba. The defensive mainstream has gradually changed from contracting defense to man-to-man defense. There are really not so many contracting defenses like the Lakers.
At least there is really not much contraction defense like the Lakers game, because this is not a conventional contraction at all, it is simply a more conservative contraction than the conventional contraction, Nima Aron Williams and Harvey and Granville Elkins is really as long as O'Neal doesn't dunk to the basket, they don't even have a man-to-man defense. As long as O'Neal doesn't dunk, there is no figure in front of this guy!
No matter whether O’Neal is on the free throw line or the three-point line or even the paint area, as long as O’Neal is not in the basket, no matter how he attacks, there is really no defender around Nima. This is simply telling O’Neal, buddy, as long as you don’t Dunk, play whatever you want!
Even in the era when contraction and defense were almost frantic, there was no such game.
It’s nice to say that the Lakers have no way to deal with O’Neal, so I gave up the treatment and said it’s a little bit unpleasant. The Lakers are just constantly trying to find their own way. This game has never thought of winning. Even when O'Neill laughed twice and accepted the gift with a little laugh, he thought it was a trap. I didn't expect the Lakers to really ignore him and appear in any area.
What just made Larry Bird speechless was that Lin Han's apparently suicidal, fully contracted defense was actually successful. O'Neal really did not play well on 3-of-10 shooting in the first quarter.
Of course, it is of course too early to say that O’Neal played abnormally at this time. Whether this kind of defensive approach works or not depends on the game behind. As for whether O’Neal is a player who does not defend better than defense, this It also depends on the later game, but there is no doubt that Lin Han’s temporary tactical arrangement really has a very significant impact on this game!
As the biggest hit in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls coach Phil Jackson really has been using the Magic as his team’s biggest obstacle, because this team is really too difficult to deal with, and the Lakers are a His own team is very similar, in this case, of course, he will not miss this game.
When the Lakers were pushed by O’Neal as soon as the game started, he was still helpless. Obviously, he saw the future of his team’s inside from the Magic’s attack, but when he saw the next game, he saw O’Neal. When there is no high shooting percentage under various unmanned defenses and finally get helpless, this time the Bulls head coach is watching the Lakers No. 24 on the TV is almost blinking eyes!
As for what the Bulls coach is thinking about at this time, the fool knows clearly, obviously. In his opinion, he has found an answer to O'Neal and the Magic. Of course, this is only one answer. But it is good to be able to find such an answer from such a game!
Of course, at this time when Phil Jackson was watching this game, he felt that he had gained a lot. In this game, he had found what he wanted, and the Lakers bench was about the same at this time, at least from the court. The two Harvard Lakers, Harvey and Williams, had no inner tension at the time of the game, and even some extremely excited expressions appeared on their faces. Lin Han felt that his teammates showed such expressions. The situation that the team is leading now makes him even more happy.
"Boss. Thank you, I didn't expect that we actually blocked the Magic's attack!"
"Yeah, we actually completely resolved the big fat man's offense. This is really incredible. Boss, how do you know that the dead fat man is crazy? The offense must be defended?"
"Yeah, when the boss said we were going to play this kind of defense, I was almost scared to death. That's O'Neill. Can we really let him go, as long as he doesn't let him dunk? The final proof is still the boss. Awesome, I have long known that this guy is not a reliable person"
"Okay, everyone's performance in the first quarter is very good. Now take a good rest"
When the Lakers starting player came down from the court with great excitement, the magician who was a little nervous at the time also said with a smile, he really did not expect that Lin Han could only be out at the beginning of the game. O'Neill's weakness. You know, Lin Han is just a player. And he was still a young player, and there was no 10 games between this kid and O'Neal combined. How did he know that O'Neill wouldn't work? Of course, at this time, the Magician will not ask why, he just needs to know the answer, so when the Lakers head coach looked at Lin Han, it was really full of joy.
Lin Han was not so embarrassed in the face of his teammates' extreme trust and the head coach's admiration and delight.
If he really knew O’Neill’s weaknesses, this would be fine. The key is that he wouldn’t. O’Neill’s change at this time was only used by Lin Han with the goddess of doom plus a free card.
However, what surprised Lin Han a little is that O'Neill, who used the free card, did not have the gloomy face like Lin Han and Stockton, and was almost completely paralyzed, even without joy and sorrow. But O'Neill, this Nima is already very childish. After using this card, it has become more childish. As for the joys and sorrows, can any child have these four emotions? Even at this time, O'Neill's emotions have become more abundant, is this O'Neill's nature?
"Oh, we will definitely win this game"
Of course, in the face of the support of his teammates and head coach, of course, Lin Han couldn't say that he actually pitted O'Neill. He could only sort out his emotions and smiled.
If before this game Lin Han told his teammates, the victory of this game, the teammates will believe, because they really believe in Lin Han, but there is no doubt that believing is the same thing, is there enough The enthusiasm to respond is another matter. They only believe in Lin Han, and want to make them have enough enthusiasm to pursue victory, they need to let them believe in themselves!
Undoubtedly, at this time, most of the Lakers players were especially scolded as an inside player for almost a season. At this time, they really believed themselves.
Moreover, if the Lakers can really block the starting players of the Magic, in fact, the Lakers have a real chance of winning, because the Magic’s five starters are all quasi-All-Star players Hardaway, O’Neal and Grant doesn’t say that typical All-Star players, even Nick Anderson can defend 20+5+4 per game, and Scott, this is the worst, this is the league’s original No. 4 rookie In his second year, the rookie had averaged nearly 20 points per game.
If there are any shortcomings in this Magic team, there is no doubt that this team's substitute is problematic. After all, although the Magic team's boss is not without money, O'Neill, Hardaway and Grant are all To spend a lot of money, even the combined salary of Anderson and Scott is more than 6 million, and even worse, the Magic also have a group of retired players with salary. Generally, a team has about 15 wages, because the league only allows a team with 15 contracted players. If some teams have a salary of one or two retired players, the maximum is sixteen or seven. And the Magic have more than 20 players receiving wages this season. This Nima is only the salary of two retired players, Cattleich and Reynolds, more than three million and nearly four million. The Magic team plus The total salary of retired players is close to 30 million US dollars, which is higher than the Lakers.
The boss of the Magic is really not afraid of spending money. The key is that the total salary of the Magic this year is twice the salary cap. Although there is no luxury tax, it is already too high. How can there be so much money to make a substitute Player. I really need to spend a few million more replacement players. This team's salary cap is estimated to be running towards 35 million.
Therefore, the entire Magic team, the team scored in double figures, there are only five starters, others have the highest scores without double figures, it can be said that the Magic starter is the Rockets and Jazz level, but This team's bench is really much worse than the Lakers.
therefore. As long as the Lakers can block the Magic's starting impact, there are really quite a few chances of winning this game.
This is the case after the start of the second quarter of the game. When Van Exel and Ruffin took the Lakers substitutes to the court, the Lakers substitutes almost suppressed the Magic. To know that the magician did not play, of course, the magician does not need to play off the bench in this game.
Originally the first quarter of the magic was dim and I didn't know why I was behind. Neither the team's coaches nor players have fully understood the situation, so. When the substitute lineups of both sides came on the court, the difference between the two points became 6 points. Slowly, when heading for 10 points, the Magic coach on the sidelines, Hill, felt that something was amiss.
So, nine minutes into the second quarter, he threw up two of his team’s core players, and after seeing O’Neal and Hardaway playing, this time the Lakers bench Harvey and Williams were on the bench. When he didn't even wait for the magician's instructions, he stood up happily. When he saw this scene, the magician smiled.
This Nima, when they were in the locker room before the game, let the two start. The expression of the two was not like that. At that time, the expression of the two was not much better than constipation.
In fact, some of the Magic players who were beaten at the beginning of the game, especially the starting players of the Magic, after playing the game, once again moved the game back, and the Lakers again. The team was suppressed.
Even compared to the first quarter, O'Neill, who was not so concerned about it, was really angry after playing in the second quarter, and the desire to attack [wang] was a straight-line rise.
If O’Neal’s offense is unstoppable, the Lakers can not be defended like this, and can be regarded as the surrender of the Lakers, then if there is a problem with his offense, the Lakers defense is not like this in terms of understanding. By the way, there is no doubt that when O'Neal continues to play semi-hooks and iron in the basket, then the Lakers' defensiveness is really despising him!
In this case, with O'Neill's character, it would be strange if he didn't get back in this game. Plus, the Lakers did not defend O'Neill, just like the Lakers players have the same trust in Lin Han, regardless Lin Lin’s confidence in Lin Han’s game is the same. The Magic team’s trust in O’Neal is not as low as the Lakers’ trust in Lin Han. O'Neal's half-hooks in the basket at ordinary times, this Nima definitely has a shooting rate of more than 65%, and the Lakers have always given O'Neal such a chance, they do not want to give the ball to O'Neal, and O'Neal is also at this time. After constantly asking for the ball according to his own ideas, he didn't care about his shooting percentage, was not affected by the low shooting percentage, and had no psychological problems. Then the Magic and Hardaway have no reason not to let O'Neal get the ball. .
Although Hardaway's face was not so good at this time, after seeing O'Neill constantly playing iron and asking for the ball, especially when he saw O'Neill's eyes still very firm at this time, Hardaway could only expect O'Neill to feel get back.
However, it is clear that although the Magic are almost suppressing the Lakers. But O'Neill really wants to get the feel back, which is not so easy, at least. In the second quarter, the extremely embarrassed and angry O'Neal shot 13 times in nine minutes. This Nima is actually more than the first quarter. Most of the Magic's shots are arranged by this insider, but the shooting rate of 134 is somewhat low. The shooting rate of 7 of 23 in the first half is quite low from the outside. , Not to mention insider?
It's just that although the Magic have problems on offense, they are still quite defensively, so the difference between the two teams is still very high, and the difference between the two sides is not very big.
For the Magic, because the total salary is too high, the starting five are the team's strongest five. Both the offensive and defensive are the strongest five, so this team's tactical changes are quite rare, because there is no way to change, so this team really wants to be a team in the postseason The game is restrained, so it is really easy to have a defeat like 0 to 4. To put it bluntly, this team is actually a team that has not been fully formed, and the team’s boss is still waiting for the team’s retirement The player receives the salary.
So, after the second half starts. When the team's tactics haven't changed, the Lakers continue to squeeze O'Neal down. O'Neal is still desperate to strike the iron, if in the first half. The team situation is dominant, although the score is behind, the fans are still able to comfort themselves a little. But after the start of the second half, the team's situation remains unchanged. Even when the team's situation became more and more serious as the game progressed, instead they saw that the Lakers almost collapsed despite being suppressed by the Magic. But when they finally became more and more confident, the magic fans at these scenes finally stopped. In particular, O'Neal made 18 career shots in a single quarter, but when there were only 5 hits, the Magic fans on the sidelines even booed to the Magic when the players of both sides ended in the third quarter!
Although the difference between the two sides is still hovering up and down at this time, there is no doubt that there is not much time left for the Magic. Even after the start of the game, the Magic’s head coach Hill and the Magic’s players have been relatively calm. This time I was nervous.
If this game really loses at home, then it is really shameful, but they almost crushed the Lakers, if they still lose, who to reason with, as for changing the team’s offensive core, this But there is no problem, from O'Neal to Hardaway, they can do it. The key is that Hardaway's offensive opportunity Nima is not as good as O'Neill. After all, Hardaway faces the defensive player Lin Han, so even if In the first three quarters, O'Neal has been frustrated and shot 42 times and only hit 12 of them. However, the Magic still did not think of allowing O'Neill to calm down and divide the ball, because everyone can see that although O'Neal's face is angry at this time, but It is indeed quite calm and decisive. In NBA, a player has a chance, and decisiveness is the most important. As for whether it is a hit, it also says that if a player is still decisive, no one will blame his player, so this time O’Neal It's really playing iron, but no one of the Magic players think O'Neal is doing something wrong, just feel bad.
Therefore, the Magic finally chose everyone to work together, the fourth quarter will not rest, and continue to work directly with the Lakers, and finally, when the starting players of both sides in the fourth quarter continue to fight, when the game reaches the fourth quarter In the first half, when the Magic's point difference had fallen to 15 points, and when O'Neill had made his offensive aggression more and more full, there appeared on the court almost to make the Magic fans on the sidelines do not know what to do. Crying is still a scene to laugh.
O'Neill squeezed the defender's half-hook forcibly adjusted the distance and finally hit the iron. Seeing that Wilkins was about to grab a defensive rebound, he finally didn't know where Lin Han ran out and directly directed the basketball to O'Neill. What made the players on the field very speechless was that Lin Han shouted after landing.
"Oops, the rebound was lost"
When Hardaway, O'Neill and the other players heard Lin Han's fake cry that could no longer be fake, they were speechless. Can Nima leave a little more?
Of course, anyway, since the rebound came to O'Neill, of course O'Neill will not let go, continue hooking, continue to play iron, and Lin Han uses his own strong rebounding olfaction to continue to assist O'Neill in rebounding, and When O'Neal played iron four times in a row in this attack, the fans on the side of Nima saw that the other Lakers players shouted and shoved the ball into O'Neill's hand.
When I saw this scene ~EbookFREE.me~ As the narrator of this game, Collins and Larry Bird couldn't bear to look directly, especially when they saw that O'Neill had completely ignored his teammates, regardless of No, there are only rims in his eyes. When he kept brushing his iron numbers, the Magic's side coach Hill shivered and fell directly into his seat, covering his face directly.
This game is over!
When the game finally ended, the Lakers defeated the Magic 82-69 on the road. When the Magic player O'Neal played 18 of 64 shots in the game and finally made 46 irons, At the end of the game, I looked at Lin Han, who was comforting O'Neill with a smile, and O'Neill who was shaking.
As a commentary on the sidelines, Larry Bird said only one sentence.
"Shaq actually did it"
Of course, as the group of reporters on the scene, this time their eyes are already bright. This is big news! (To be continued...)
