Chapter 198 [The key to the triangle offense]

Super strength talent: 99! ! !

Su Xi's power has reached an unprecedented level and can be described as terrifying.

With his current weight of 94 kilograms, his strength can already compete with insiders who are 20 kilograms above him, and he is still not inferior.

This is a very exaggerated thing.

Although he can't compare with super centers like O'Neal and Yao Ming, he is invincible on the outside.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet

The Lakers' duck is Mr. Gary Payton who is back on the court.

Payton served as Suhi's defensive teacher, and his one-handed defense earned him a reputation as a glove.

But after all, boxing is afraid of young people.

When Kobe turned around and hit a difficult jumper.

Payton focused on Sushi, who responded to Phil Jackson's call to defend the ball.

This time he had accumulated a lot of energy and he was going to give Su Xi a little 'teacher shock'.

But as soon as he got entangled, he just wanted to use his strong physical confrontation ability and fast long arms to give Su Xi some resistance.

His student Su Xi doesn't talk about martial arts and just goes all out.

puff!
Payton felt that his whole body was numb from his dantian up to his chest.

The internal organs are still boiling!

Pfft!
He fell to the ground uncontrollably, confused, especially confused.

It's like Wang Yousheng was slapped twice.

Payton's position this time was a bit radical, but it was still incredible that Susie made Payton fall to the ground so powerfully that even Phil Jackson's eyes widened.

Gary Payton's strength has long been proven by history. Although he is older now and his explosiveness and agility are not as good as before, his strength has not weakened.

However, Su Xi only used one to knock him to the ground.

What's even more terrifying is yet to come.

Su Xi entered the penalty area with a very strong move. Karl Malone quickly moved sideways at the free throw line. This guy was full of bad ideas.

He showed his elbow in advance, intending to give Su Xi a blow when the body came into contact.

Unexpectedly, Su Xi crashed directly into it... In terms of weight and tonnage, Su Xi was completely incomparable to Ma Long, who was very powerful.

But he was passive, while Su Xi was active in impact, with explosive power and powerful impact.

puff!
The moment Karl Malone was hit, he felt like he was hit by a trebuchet. His body was knocked away directly, and his elbow had no time to show... Susie was like a hurricane passing by, running rampant.

Su Xi went to the basket again, and O'Neal rushed over aggressively, but Su Xi directly passed the basketball to O'Neal on one side, and O'Neal took advantage of the situation and made a layup.

O'Neal is very upset about Su Xi's constant challenge to his dominance in the penalty area. If you avoid him and hit him, he will be happy, but if you always face him and create threats, he will be like a monkey whose tail is stepped on. Just as crazy.

"You can restrain him just by holding your position."

Kobe Bryant spoke unceremoniously to Shaquille O'Neal while serving.

Their relationship reached its peak this year.

In fact, it started last offseason.

After they lost to the Spurs last year, Shaquille O'Neal also ushered in his contract year, and O'Neal used his connections to seek strong support for the Lakers.The Lakers boss also promised him verbally that if he could recruit capable helpers to make up for the loss of Horry and others, they would give O'Neal special rewards in his new contract.

The final thing is... O'Neal recruited Karl Malone and Gary Payton.

But Bass has not been willing to renew his contract until now. He has proposed a fully guaranteed contract of US$2 million for two years.But O'Neal refused, and O'Neal sought a historic contract.

After Kobe Bryant caused a scandal in the offseason, O'Neal made some moves that made matters worse.On the opening day of training camp for the new season, Bryant was absent because he went to Eagle County to attend a hearing.O'Neal was asked by reporters, 'How does it feel to not have the full team present? ', he said rather disdainfully: I can't answer this question, our team is already here.

O'Neal believes that Kobe Bryant is a stumbling block to his contract extension. He does not want to go through the pain of Orlando again: when the Magic selected Hardaway and snubbed him.

Now taking advantage of Kobe's legal dispute, he hopes to win a historic contract in one fell swoop.

Phil Jackson structurally sided with O'Neal, and he proposed to the team more than once to trade Kobe.The general manager also expressed some support. After all, it wouldn't be a problem for the two of them to continue struggling like this.

However, the boss disagreed.Buss Sr. treated Kobe like his own son. He condoned all Kobe's behaviors, including crazy shots during the game, which made Phil Jackson furious.

Now, what Lakers fans are most worried about is another dispute between the OK group.

Everyone is on tenterhooks.

When Kobe Bryant was shown talking to O'Neal on the TV screen, their hearts clenched.

Fortunately, there was no further action from either side.

The game continues.

Kobe Bryant visibly increased the number of shots he took. He started one-on-one on the wing. Under Artest's tough defense, he hit the basketball with a very difficult posture.

There is really nothing to say about Peter Pan's personal abilities.

But this is not a good thing for the Lakers as a whole, and Rick Carlisle can't help but smile.

He is not afraid of Kobe. No matter how strong Kobe is, there is a limit.

But the shark inside can destroy the Pacers' entire penalty area.

The two sides went back and forth, and the Pacers, under the leadership of Su Xi, stabilized their lead.

At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied at 55:51.

The Pacers led by 4 points.

One small detail is that when the players from both sides returned to the locker room, Kobe stayed on the court for a few minutes to practice three-point jump shots. It was the Lakers staff who called him back to the locker room.

This worries Brian Shaw, who sits in the ESPN commentary box as an analyst.

Brian Shaw is a former Lakers player. He achieved three consecutive championships with the Lakers and retired after losing to the Spurs last season.

He is considered Kobe's best friend in the Lakers. He has returned to the team frequently this season in order to mediate the relationship between Kobe and O'Neal.

O'Neal was even rumored to kill Kobe in the middle of the season, and he took action because Kobe complained on TV that O'Neal spent too much time recuperating from his toe injury, watching two Hall of Fame players playing for almost free. After spending all his bullets on the court, he sat back and enjoyed the results, and only cared about his contract extension.

Fortunately Brian Shaw stopped O'Neal while he organized an in-depth conversation.

Kobe and O'Neal expressed some of their true feelings in that conversation.

Kobe accused O'Neal of calling himself a big brother outside, but when he got into trouble in Eagle County, he didn't even call him.

O'Neal said he asked his bodyguard to call twice, but Bryant didn't answer either time.

Kobe added: I thought you were my friend, but you have never supported me in public.Suzy the Sheep even accompanied me to the police station. You only think about yourself.

O'Neill retorted: You are in trouble and all topics are sensitive. You want us to speak for you, but you have to let us know how to help you.

This sentence became the starting point for teammates to accuse Kobe because Kobe never participated in group activities. Even if they asked him to have dinner in the hotel during away games, he refused.Moreover, everyone invited him to every party, but he never attended.And they also said that Kobe did not invite any of them to his wedding.

The conversation was open and honest.Brian Shaw thinks it will resolve the conflict between OK, man, just say it.

But it only resolves apparent contradictions.

Brian Shaw began to worry that this year's finals were ruined by the Pacers' use of alienation tactics. If the Lakers lose this year's championship, they will never be able to repair it.

Bryan has feelings for the Lakers.

He also has feelings for OK group.

But at the same time, he also knew that the person in the entire NBA who probably knew Kobe the best was Suzy the Sheep.They seemed to be two unrelated people, but a freak like Kobe took him to a concert and invited Su Xi to his home. Kobe even completely let loose and supported Su Xi during the All-Star Game. Get MVP.

This seems incredible to Brian Shaw.

...

Suzy was in the locker room listening to Carlisle's plans.Carlisle said: In the second half, we can let O'Neal score a few more goals and carry out pressing defense against Kobe.

Carlisle's idea was to make Kobe Bryant's jealousy burst. When he started to go berserk, the Pacers' probability of winning would be much greater.

Carlisle's mind-attacking tactics make sense.

For Su Xi, there are also objective benefits: If Kobe's pressing defense can stimulate his acquired super talent, then he will also gain a lot of insights and make great progress in scoring.After all, Kobe's last-minute super talent may be the strongest acquired super talent in history.

But at the same time, he felt that the game was already half over and the Pacers were still ahead.There is no need to take risks, just fight normally.

What if Kobe kills the red eye and penetrates the defense?
Kobe has this ability.

Most importantly, unlike the Pistons.

The Lakers' rotation is not strong, and Karl Malone and Gary Payton are not very physical.

The defensive pressure they put on the Pacers was not as great as the Pistons.

If they can shoot against them with the offensive efficiency of the first half, the Pacers have a high probability of winning.

At the critical moment, you can still kill the shark.

Su Xi proposed her idea to Carlisle. Carlisle thought about it for a long time. He neither agreed nor rejected it. He thought about it first and revised it flexibly.

Carlyle was not a stubborn academic.

...

Karl Malone was furious in the locker room. He was very dissatisfied with falling behind in the first half, and even more dissatisfied with watching Su Xi get everything he wanted.

"You have to stop this stupid fight, I've had enough, I'm not here to suffer for being underpaid."

"I want the championship! I want the championship, do you know?"

Karl Malone is hysterical.

The iron-blooded power forward hopes that Kobe and O'Neal can give up the so-called hatred, stop blaming each other, unite to destroy the Pacers, and then lift the damn championship trophy.

Shaquille O'Neal groaned, and he said in a weird way: "Some people always think that he can do everything on the outside, but in fact he just relies on his good touch."

"Some people always feel that they are invincible in the penalty area, but in fact they didn't even make the best defensive team." Kobe retorted.

"enough!"

Phil Jackson stopped their argument and he had to intervene.He said: "If you want to make yourself the biggest joke in history, you can continue to quarrel like this."

"If you put four Hall of Fame players together and can't beat the fledgling Susie, I suggest you all retire."

Phil Jackson said very rudely.

He silenced the locker room for a moment.

Then, he took out the tactical board and analyzed the Pacers' play in the first half, especially Su Xi's dynamic play.

Then he began to make targeted arrangements and reiterated the importance of the triangle tactic.

He asked all players to put aside their distracting thoughts and ensure they acted according to tactics on the court.

Phil Jackson is very energetic. As a super coach with three dynasties in his hands, he can calm the scene.

Calm returned to the Lakers locker room.

...

beep!

The whistle blew and the second half began.

Both the Lakers and Pacers made changes at the 1st position. The Lakers replaced starter Gary Payton and replaced Fisher, while the Pacers replaced Suhi with Kenny Anderson.

The Pacers played very actively. Reggie Miller hit a long two-pointer on the first goal of the game.

Devin George can't do much to the aging Reggie Miller.

After changing sides and fighting again, the Lakers played out the tactics on Phil Jackson's tactical board.

Kobe opened a strong-side single, got into position to attract a double attack and then passed to Karl Malone. Malone hit a jumper from the free throw line.

During this process, O'Neal kept wandering in the paint, containing the defense for them.

Subsequently, the basketball was passed into the paint area, and O'Neal initiated it again.O'Neal singled, attracted a double attack and then passed to Karl Malone. Karl Malone passed the basketball to Kobe, who made a shot from beyond the three-point line.

They are getting better and better.

Although their triangle offense is not as precise as the Bulls version.

However, Karl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant can be said to be the top three scorers in the history of the three positions. They execute the triangle offense, and from the offensive level, it is completely crushing.

The Pacers couldn't defend themselves.

Even if you beat them to death, you can't defend them.

The Pacers have stocked up on a lot of insiders this season for a rainy day, but they can't be used now.

You can't just commit a foul, right?

"The key figure for the Lakers now is Karl Malone, and he must be locked up." Su Xi said to Carlisle.

Carlisle nodded, he also knew that Karl Malone was the most important key to the Lakers system.

However, looking at the entire bench, who can guard it?

O'Neal Jr. can cause some interference, but he is pulled to the free throw line, and the defensive force in the penalty area is weak.

O'Neal is more lawless, and Kobe can penetrate easily.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

The competition in the finals is not only on the court, but also mentally exciting.

"Let me do it." Su Xi said: "I'll lock him. Ron will lock Kobe, and O'Neal can be flanked inside at any time."
