Almighty legend life

Chapter 650 Fighting against the "Four Heavenly Kings"
O'Neal is somewhat dissatisfied with the current status of the Lakers. Although he is the undisputed leader in the team, the arrival of Payton and Malone still took away a lot of ball rights from him, and Phil Jackson also asked O'Neal to increase Passing and support made O'Neal very dissatisfied with Phil Jackson. After Liu Han left, the only person the Lakers could control O'Neal was George Crent.

O'Neal's dominance in the interior is unrivaled in the current league. After the other three major centers are gradually aging and retiring, only O'Neal can be called the top center position among active players. Although Yao Min showed He has the potential to become a top center, but he still needs some time to grow.

O'Neill originally thought that even if Coach George left, his position should be extremely stable, but he didn't expect that the team would introduce Payton and Malone. Jenny Buss hated George so much that she even And blamed O'Neill.

Now O'Neal understands that Liu Han did not return to the Lakers after returning to the NBA. The atmosphere in the team is very bad now. Jenny Buss is trying to take over the power of the team alone, while Jerry Buss' second son Jim Buss is also there With the support of his father, he intervened in the management of the team. As a result, disputes continued between the two sides, and the team suffered from turmoil. Karl Malone has now begun to regret that he broke up with his old friend Stockton. If there is too much chaos, the chances of winning the championship will not be too great under such circumstances.

However, although the team management is relatively turbulent, relying on absolute strength, the Lakers still performed well. The day before they came to Dallas, they just defeated the Spurs away. The two teams fought until the last moment. Although Duncan won 32 A large double-double with 18 points and 90 rebounds, but the current Lakers scoring points are too scattered. In the end, the Lakers won the game 86-[-].

After coming to Dallas, O'Neill did not call Liu Han. He felt that calling Liu Han like this was a cowardly act, especially since he had lost to Liu Han once before.

On December 2003, 12, the game between the league's No. 3 and No. [-] teams officially started.

Liu Han only saw O'Neill before the game. He saw O'Neill's awkward expression, but he didn't know where the awkwardness came from.

Nowitzki can't play, but the Mavericks are facing the league's No. [-] team in the interior. Nelson is worthy of his title of "mad scientist" and directly puts out a very small lineup. The maximum height of the interior is Odom, who is [-] meters, is followed by Jamison and Danny Fordson, who is [-] meters. Fordson is here to guarantee the team's rebounds today.On the periphery are Liu Han and veteran Aaron McGee. Compared with the Lakers' lineup, the Mavericks' lineup is quite shabby.

On the Lakers side, the four kings are all out. Finley is now the main scoring point for the Lakers on the perimeter. Payton is less greedy for the ball as he gets older. O'Neal and Malone also need Finley to help them attract defense on the perimeter. So Finley has a lot of shots, which also makes his statistics very good in recent years, otherwise he would not be called one of the "Four Kings" of the Lakers.

Another point of the Lakers is their defensive player Devin George. The reason why he got the starting lineup today is very simple. He is here to defend Liu Han with Finley. After all, Payton is old and wants him to play again. It is impossible to prevent Liu Hannash from dying.

The game officially started, the Mavericks in charge of jumping the ball in the circle can only be Odom, after all, he is now the tallest in the team.

However, O'Neal still easily won the jump ball. Although he has gained a lot of weight now, his bounce is still [-]% of the previous level.

After receiving the ball from O'Neal, Payton quickly launched an attack. The inside speed of the Lakers was relatively slow, but Finley was not slow at all. He ran directly to the center of the Mavericks, but Payton's pass was caught by Liu Han, who was astute. Breaking off, the Lakers wanted to give the Mavericks a bad start but were seen through by Liu Han.

Liu Han, who broke the ball, dribbled the ball with his back to avoid Devin George's interception, and then suddenly threw it long. Odom, who jumped the ball in the middle circle, had already run to the Lakers' basket at this time. Liu Han's pass As soon as the ball arrived, Odom caught the ball and dunked it.

If you fight for speed, it is estimated that no one in the league can match the Mavericks.

The lineup of the Mavericks is not neat, but Liu Han led the Mavericks to win the first place.

When Liu Han was on the Lakers before, some people said that Liu Han hugged O'Neal's thigh, but now that he is on the Mavericks, no one will say these things, especially at this time.

After the Lakers re-served, they entered a positional battle. Payton followed his teammates honestly and played a triangle attack. Malone pulled to the high post to attract the defense. O'Neal asked for the ball in the low post. However, Payton just made a pass to O'Neal. The Mavericks The double-team was almost towards O'Neill.

The Lakers immediately transferred the ball to the open Finley, but the Mavericks have been training for a period of time, and their defensive rotations have improved a lot. As soon as Finley received the ball, Aaron McGee's supplementary defense was already in place.

The Lakers continued to look for open passes, but the Mavericks' defense was always in place. The attack time was close to 24 seconds, and the ball returned to Payton again. In desperation, Payton could only resist Liu Han's defense Forced a three-point shot, the ball bounced out of the frame as expected.

O'Neal occupied a favorable position under the basket and was about to grab the rebound, but the Mavericks Fortson came out from the oblique stab, almost throwing his body obliquely to grab the rebound.

This is exactly the characteristic of Fortson. He never cares about his body when he rebounds, even if he has been seriously injured because of it.

Fordson threw the ball to Liu Han, and another wave of offense by the Mavericks began.

Phil Jackson didn't expect that in just one month, the Mavericks team has undergone radical changes. Even if Dirk Nowitzki, who is a big threat to the Lakers, is not around, the Mavericks team still has a good performance.

The advantage of the Lakers inside became a disadvantage when the Mavericks counterattacked. O'Neal used to be as fast as a guard, but now he has gained too much weight and can no longer run like before.

The Mavericks once again played a quick counterattack and got a 4-0 lead at the beginning.

The Lakers do have a lot of attack points, but this also makes their offensive direction not clear enough.
