"Perhaps you have not experienced the era of Russell and Chamberlain, you have never seen the duel between Big Bird and Magician, the grudge between Jordan and the OK Dynasty. But now, you are fortunate to see a new legend in the history of NBA rise. Up."
"The greatest offensive team in history! Los Angeles Lakers! Before that, they had an epic record of 25 victories! The legendary 34 consecutive victories second only to the OK Dynasty!"
"Running! This tactic that many people are unfamiliar with is sweeping the league! It has even caused a wave of enthusiasm all over the world!"
"Basketball is a sport for big men? Basketball is inside? Defensive and iron-blooded can bring victory?"
"No! The Lakers this season are changing people's minds!"
"Gorgeous offense, you can also win! And their games are still so enjoyable!"
"All players are soldiers! 12 rotations! Many players are about to be selected for the All-Star! This has not been done by any dynasty team!"
"Experts believe that there are at least 6 players in the Lakers, and any team can easily score 20+! Their offensive firepower is assembled under Nash's carding, and they have created the Lakers' unsolvable offense this season! "
"Christmas War! The Lakers will face the Miami Heat with 22 wins and 3 losses! This game will determine whether the Lakers can end their 2003 season with a win record!"
The hottest team this season is none other than the Lakers.
In addition to the Lakers, there are several teams that have also played legendary performances.
The Miami Heat, second in the league, bears the brunt. Shaq O’Neal averaged 28+14+5 per game, ranking third in the league’s mvp list.
In front of him are Kobe and Nash.
Because the Lakers' mvp votes were equally divided by Kobe and Nash, many people think O'Neal has a chance to catch up.
As long as the Lakers' record is not exaggerated to the 70 wins, then O'Neal has a great chance of winning.
After all, O'Neal's qualifications are there. In the past few years, his performance is only one step away from MVP. This season, perhaps in order to make up for it, O'Neal will be given an MVP trophy.
Then this battle between the Lakers and the Heat has become a very important battle.
"Carl, you pulled the big Ben to the weak side, Shaq, I need you to crush Yao Ming for this game!" Pat Riley, the fortune teller, already had a draft in his mind.
The Lakers are not invincible.
Although the Kings, Grizzlies, Pacers, Timberwolves and other teams do not have many good ways to face the Lakers' running and bombing.
But after watching and studying the Lakers game repeatedly, the fortune teller still found an opportunity.
Use a space No. 4 position to open the big Ben's help!
Then let the ball holder and the center directly attack Yao Ming!
In other words, let Wade and O'Neal hit Yao Ming infinitely! It's better to beat him down!
Yao Ming's point seems to be a strong point for the Lakers, but as long as he is beaten, the Lakers can't find a player to replace him.
Pat Riley is confident that Wade and O'Neal can do this!
Then there is a fuss about Nash.
Yes, the Lakers have Kobe, the strongest defensive guard in history.
But the Heat have Wade and Eddie Jones.
One person opened Kobe, the other person infinitely singled out Nash!
How do the Lakers defend?
Since there is no solution to running and bombing, first beat Yao Ming, the core of running and bombing, and then madly target Nash, the engine of running and bombing.
The last is to let the stars and Kobe decisive battle!
The number of Heat's stars will never lose to any team.
This is the only way Pat Riley can beat the Lakers after thinking hard!
"Relax! Coach! I'll take that Asian boy alive!" O'Neill gritted his teeth.
In the last season's match between the Lakers and Houston, Yao Ming and O'Neal's matchup, O'Neal did not take much advantage.
Especially the 8 blocks in the first game, even more so that O'Neal was nailed to the pillar of shame.
But after that, O'Neal quickly adapted to the way he played Yao Ming.
A breakthrough in the face frame is to find death.
Can't be reckless!
Although Yao Ming's height is terrifying, his speed is really not slow at all.
It is very difficult to demolish Yao Ming with explosive power.
You have to slow down, use your strength to grind in a little bit, and then make a small hook and make a small throw.
It is to use static power!
In this way, O'Neal has the upper hand in the next few games with the Lakers.
"Dwyane, Eddie, I need you to attack Nash infinitely."
"At the same time, you don't need to grab offensive rebounds! Give me a counterattack that is staring at the Lakers!"
"O'Neal's offensive rebound will be relatively close. You will retreat as soon as O'Neal takes the shot! I don't believe that the Lakers can still run and blast!"
Wade and Eddie Jones nodded.
"Scotty! A lesson to that rookie." Pat Riley looked at Pippen last.
He signed Pippen this season with the intention of letting him play as a substitute, but he found that the old guy played better. With O'Neal and Wade, he played very differently from the way the Blazers were struggling.
Then Pat Riley simply let Caron Batley come off the bench and let Pippen start.
Facts have proved that this move is very reasonable.
Caron Butler brought momentum to the bench, and Pippen acted as the strongest panacea in the starting lineup.
"I've been waiting!" Pippen replied dullly.
Then Pat Riley began to train the Heat's benches.
The reason why the Heat is strong this year is by no means just a starter.
Caron Butler, Alstom, and Brian Grant on the bench are all very vigorous. Their presence allows veterans like the Heat to have plenty of time to rest.
"Let's end the Lakers' winning streak!"
...
"I think there are four teams that can compete with us for the championship this season." Magic took the Lakers coaching team to a meeting.
"The Miami Heat is definitely the most powerful team. O'Neal is still very dominant, and that young rookie guard is like a young Jordan without shooting ability!"
"The Boston Celtics, the strong team in last year's finals, brought in Rasheed Wallace this year. They didn't have a good record this season because of the injuries of McGrady and Van Horn, but they played in the playoffs. Their combat power may even exceed last year!"
"The Sacramento King, the current record of the Kings is closely behind us. Although our tactics restrain their forward lineup to a certain extent, they are likely to be their opponents in the Western Conference Finals."
"The Memphis Grizzlies. After Jerry West became the general manager of the Grizzlies, Carter and Gasol were imitating our tactics last season. It is hard to say what Old Man West will continue to bring to this team. change."
This is what Magic thinks the biggest enemy the Lakers will have on their way to the championship this season!
Other injections into the Spurs, Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers, because of the addition of Big Ben, the Lakers did not suffer too much.
Overall, the Lakers' paper combat power has surpassed any team in the league.
"What we have to do is to keep the players healthy while letting the newcomers on the team continue to grow and adapt."
"Yao Ming, Anthony, Randolph and others still have a lot of room for improvement."
The Lakers coaching staff wrote and painted and determined the next policy.
The first thing to face is the heat of the Christmas War.
...
December 25, 2003, Christmas Eve.
There are four Christmas games this year-Celtics vs. Kings, Philadelphia 76ers vs. Grizzlies, Pacers vs. Timberwolves, and the last one is Lakers vs. Heat.
The first three games were brilliant, McGrady returned from injury and beat the king.
Iverson and Carter confronted, Iverson scored 57 points and won in double overtime.
The Pacers and the Timberwolves are defensive battles. In the end, the Timberwolves rely on Ray Allen's key three-pointer, 85:79 to establish the victory.
Super giants have their own play.
But the fans are still looking forward to the final battle of the century!
Players from both sides came on the field, Kobe and O'Neal looked at each other, everything was said without saying!
Game start!
O'Neal won a jump ball.
In the first round, Wade and O'Neal played a pick-and-roll!
Malone pulled Big Ben to the weak side.
Kobe defends Wade.
Wade's center of gravity is low, and his speed advantage is reflected. In the face of Kobe's pressure, he dodges with one step, and then uses the pick and roll to switch to Yao Ming!
Wade singles Yao Ming!
Shake your hips continuously!
Then Ben Lei usually rushed into the basket, directly thrown off Yao Ming and dunked!
"Dwyane Wade! Flash!"
"This is the biggest surprise for the Heat this season!"
Wade roared with his cheeks! His eyes swept over Anthony!
The provocative meaning is undisguised.
"This guy!" Anthony was a little upset in an instant!
"Calm down! Carmelo!" Nash appeased Anthony, and if Anthony did it with the ball, it would be fooled.
Lakers ball right!
Nash quickly advanced over halftime!
Wade bites up!
And aggressive!
"No wonder people say that this guy is Jordan at 1.91." Nash held the ball with his back, was bumped and forced to play Yao Ming.
"Can Dwyane suppress Nash!?" Pat Riley on the sidelines also wanted to know this.
After Nash handed over the ball, Wade curled up his mouth.
But so!
That's it for this white point guard! With the speed and strength of this uncle, he can easily crush him!
But in the next moment, Nash passed by Yao Ming.
The basketball in Yao Ming's hands also unconsciously appeared in Nash's hands.
Wade wakes up, Nash has thrown the ball high in the middle distance.
Free throw line high toss the board into the basket!
stable!
"It doesn't seem to work." Pat Riley didn't feel disappointed. Nash is already a superstar, which is recognized by the US NBA coach.
Although Wade is exceptionally talented, he is only an All-Star rookie.
Moreover, Wade is not based on defense.
"See how long you can reach!"
The Heat continue to execute their tactics to kill Yao Ming!
Wade and O'Neal attack Yao Ming in turn!
Yao Ming gave out two beautiful big hats! But in 8 minutes of the first quarter, he also received his second foul and was substituted.
At this time the Lakers 21:17 Heat.
The Lakers have an advantage, but the advantage is not much!
"Come on!" Pat Riley waited for Yao Ming to end, the corners of his mouth twitched!
The opportunity is here!
Eddie Jones and Wade take turns singles Nash!
Warmly played a wave of 8:0, leading the score!
The first quarter ended, the Lakers 26:31 Heat!
The Lakers' running and bombing system has rarely failed!
"Fack!" Anthony yelled, Pippen's old fritters, this section frantically gave him small moves.
Now Anthony is all traced by Pippen!
Nash was also panting.
But Kobe and Daben looked as usual.
Didn’t it mean that the defensive end was blown out in the first quarter and was 5 points behind in a single quarter?
Small scene.
Second quarter!
Ginobi leads the Lakers bench group to counterattack!
The Heat let Wade take Caron Butler, Alston, and Brian Grant to fight!
Wade fights the demon knife!
Barbossa and Wade!
The two lightning started racing!
Wade was slightly better, but Ginobili took the opportunity to get into the inside and complete the European step scoring.
When the Heat began to pinch the demon knife, Korver and Bowen made consecutive three-pointers.
Seeing this scene, a gleam of light flashed in Wade's eyes.
If I learn this trick...
With the excellent performance of the bench, the Lakers gradually moved back to the disadvantages on the court.
Both sides started to play, and the Heat continued to hit Yao Ming.
They played this way, although their scoring efficiency decreased and the Lakers took the lead, but it also allowed Yao Ming to receive his third foul in 9 minutes of the second quarter.
After Yao Ming went off the court, the Lakers' offense became unstable again.
At the same time, on the defensive end, in the face of O'Neal's impact, the Lakers have no players to resist.
At halftime, the Lakers drew with the Heat at 57:57!
Fierce battle!
In this half of the game, the fans who watched were intoxicated!
Superb skills and tactics to play!
The various performances of the stars!
A canine score!
There is no doubt that this is the toughest game the Lakers have played this season.
"The Heat limited the Lakers' halftime scoring to less than 57 points! At the same time, the Lakers had only 9 halftime assists!"
"Although compared with other teams, this offense is still very good. But compared with their own, they have not played their usual level at all!"
"Boys! Just continue like this!"
...
Start the second half!
Yao Ming began to shrink his position.
Put Wade in the middle distance!
This is the defensive strategy of the Lakers coaching staff.
You can't let Yao Ming run with Wade O'Neal.
Just bet!
Bet Wade will not make it in the investment!
This time luck did not stand on the Lakers' side. Wade continuously used O'Neal's pick-and-rolls to make mid-range and difficult jump shots.
"This rookie is incredible!" Barkley exclaimed again and again!
He also watched the Wade game, and the usual mid-distance is sometimes missing~EbookFREE.me~ But this key game, it just works!
This kind of big heart is what many players lack now!
"This year's rookies are really amazing!" Kenny Smith praised.
At the same time, Pippen was pulling Anthony's jersey, with a smirk on his mouth, "Did you see it? You are far behind Dwyane!"
"Scotty! You fellow, did you talk so much when you were blown up by the boss!?" Anthony was angry.
Melon's words hit Pippen's pain.
"Damn boy! I will show you what cruelty is!"
Pippen blocked the melon more hard.
Yao Ming fouled and Melon was blocked by Pippen.
The Lakers' tactical system was on the verge of collapse for a while.
