Chapter 98
Watching O'Neal's body turn around on the court, with a serious expression, seems a bit funny. As an opponent, it is really a nightmare.

By the end of halftime, the trailing score had reached double digits.

43:54, 11 points is not much, but the key is that the oppressive situation is too uncomfortable.

It can be said that the Heat were suppressed more miserably. This is not because the West is strong and the East is weak. Even if the Eastern team is weaker, as the defending champion, the Heat with the second record in the league cannot be said to be weak.

It is entirely because the personnel configuration is too similar and they are suppressed. If everyone’s configuration is different, they will all have their strengths and weaknesses. It's the same as the others, it's a big deal for everyone to explode each other.

And the Heat's strengths completely coincide with those of the Lakers. At this time, the difference is a little bit, which is very obvious. It is simply the type that can predict the result from the beginning.

In the lounge, everyone on the Heat team became very quiet. Even Pat Riley didn’t start scolding. Work hard, almost wrestled with O'Neill in the first half, and even blocked the opponent firmly, but it was useless, O'Neill was so big, even when he went up to pinch him, he could tiptoe and throw the ball out.

Pat Riley knows that at this time, it is necessary to score unreasonably from outside like the Spurs in the last finals.

Zhang Chen is the only one who can do this for the Heat, but Zhang Chen's offense in this game is really good. If he is not scoring continuously, the score gap may be even bigger, but he is normal and good, it is still far away Not enough, at least not enough to win the game.

But this kind of thing can only rely on the explosion of the players, and it is impossible to stipulate it tactically. If the unreasonable explosion of the players is also a tactical arrangement, then it is too simple to be a coach, and every time the core players are called to explode.

"What's the matter, everyone, don't be so quiet. We are only 11 points behind. We will overtake them every minute. I believe we will win, and we will definitely win." Zhang Chen stood up and stretched out his fists. The momentum to win.

"Yes, I tried my best to block that fat man." Mourning also stood up. He wanted to say something earlier, but the current situation is mainly because he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with O'Neill, so he It was always inconvenient to speak, but now someone spoke first, and he immediately agreed.

"What are you doing with a frowning face, the man will overthrow them on the field, show me some momentum." Pat Riley roared loudly.

Still his words worked, the faces of the Heat's players rekindled fierce fighting spirit, they all stretched out their fists and touched each other, "Work hard and win the game."

It takes an opportunity to convert fighting spirit into fighting power, but they were poured cold water as soon as they played in the second half.

O'Neill used the overlord step, squeezing the two to complete the score.

It's like preparing to go up the mountain for an outing, but it rains immediately when you go out, the sense of loss is not ordinary.

This momentum must be reversed, Zhang Chen gritted his teeth, got an offensive opportunity after three back runs on the offensive end, and scored a two-pointer.

But after coming back, Mourning and P-J-Brown managed to make O'Neal miss the shot, but A-C-Green made a tip-up, and O'Neal attracted all the attention, and the backcourt rebounds became impossible to guarantee.

If it doesn't go well, everything goes wrong. The Heat's defense is not strong, and their offensive efficiency cannot be high, but the Lakers are playing more and more smoothly, and they are about to collapse.

The Lakers attacked, and after passing the ball several times, it was handed over to O'Neal.

O'Neill continued to hit Mourning with his back, and when he sat down twice and turned around neatly, he was about to hook his hand when he was suddenly hugged by his shooting arm.

The referee's whistle blew, and he pointed to the free throw line, but the person who made the foul was not Mourning who defended O'Neal, but Zhang Chen who broke through and rushed in.

O'Neal's free throw percentage is less than half, about [-]%.

He grabbed the basketball and aimed it for a long time, then pushed it out with his big hand, the ball hit the ring with almost no rotation, and bounced out.

Generally speaking, it would be good for this big brother to be able to hit one of two free throws, but this time he didn't feel good, and made two free throws at the same position.

Zhang Chen pushed forward with the ball, and when he got near the three-point line, he threw a three-pointer in front of Kobe.

The attack Kobe didn't expect at all, and certainly didn't interfere.

A three-point hit, for a player of Zhang Chen's level, such a three-pointer is not surprising.

The Lakers served the ball, and the Heat referee's whistle blew again. At this time, everyone realized that Zhang Chen's move just now was not to help defend at all, but a deliberate foul, because now as soon as the Lakers served, he immediately hugged O'Neal again .

When the shark was hacked, the Lakers' home fans immediately booed loudly.

It's just that the boos soon disappeared, not because they forgave Zhang Chen, but because O'Neal was about to make a free throw, and they had to keep quiet.

Both fans and players are no stranger to O'Neal's off-ball foul, because this guy has always been bad at free throws, and he was hacked when he was in college.

It's just that this kind of foul is not a formal tactic now. You may come here occasionally, and it's more to disgust O'Neal.

It’s not that no one in the NBA thought of this kind of tactic. Even before O’Neal entered the NBA, some people in the NBA were cut off.

It's just that this tactic is not easy to use, not to mention that the effect of this tactic is unclear, because players like O'Neal will also have free throws "smart", especially at critical moments, if you defend normally, you may be able to prevent it. Fouls are not Give points to people?

The key is that this tactic also interrupts the rhythm of your own team, that is to say, every penalty scored by the opponent is counted as one goal, but the fouling team is likely to continue not scoring, and the score will become bigger and bigger. Even if you can score, Also because of the interruption of the game, it is difficult to score continuously and explosively, which is actually very detrimental to the teams chasing the score.

What's more, this tactic is considered unsportsmanlike. For example, Zhang Chen was booed after using it.

So although there is such a tactic, everyone doesn't use it very often. They use it more to disgust O'Neill than to rely on this tactic to win.

O'Neal got to the free throw line again, this time making one.

During the Heat's offense, Zhang Chen made a breakthrough against Kobe and hit a 2-pointer with an emergency stop jumper.

Then the Heat fouled O'Neal again. This time it was Anthony Carter. When O'Neal made a free throw just now, Pat Riley called Anthony Carter to give him an opportunity to give him a foul. After all, Zhang Chen is the team. It is not good for most of the core players to commit fouls.

Although it wasn't Pat Riley who asked Zhang Chen to do this, the thing had already happened. According to his character, he would use it as long as it was helpful to the victory, so he immediately arranged it.

O'Neal made two free throws again, and Zhang Chen scored again.

"Despicable guy, do it head-on if you have the ability, foul is nothing."

"If you can't win the game, use dirty methods. The guys in the east are rubbish."

"Miami guys, go back, Shaquille will beat the shit out of you..."

The audience at Staples was excited. If it weren't for the police to maintain order, it is estimated that someone would rush into the arena to practice with the Heat players.

"Zhang Chen is indeed an excellent player, but it seems a bit bad for him to take the lead in doing so. Maybe he saw the score behind and got hotheaded..."

"No, no, I think he is such a player. He did it on purpose. Remember what he did in the playoffs last season. He publicly stated that in order to win, he will use any means."

"I also remembered what you said. He said similar things more than once. Zhang Chen has always been such a player who does his own thing and is very distinctive."

"It's really hard to say anything about this obsession with victory. Maybe this is the combination of angels and devils."

After O'Neal missed two free throws again, the Laker Mayfair Jackson, who had been sitting calmly in his seat, frowned and called a timeout. It doesn't matter if he was cut off, the key is that the team failed to defend against the Heat every time he was cut off. Offensive, that's not okay.

"Zhang, don't care about the boos from the fans, you have done nothing wrong."

"Of course, his failure to make a penalty can only show that he has weaknesses, and I can only be happy."

"It's good if you can think like this." Pat Riley was afraid that Zhang Chen would be affected by the booing, and planned to enlighten the disciple, but after speaking, he realized that it was unnecessary.

Since the foul on O'Neal was effective, he immediately arranged a set of tactics, and sent substitute players in turn to foul O'Neal. As long as it was effective, he didn't care what others said.

"Alonzo, when attacking, you have to actively fight for positions with the opponent, and you can't let him relax."

Maintain physical confrontation and keep O'Neill's muscles tensed at any time. Since you want to do it, you must do it seriously.

Back on the field again, Kobe’s eyes were almost spitting fire, and O’Neal was also very angry, but he was even more upset. During this time, Zhang Chen scored a lot of points in front of him. Damn it.

"You idiot, don't use such despicable means if you have the ability, I will blow you up." O'Neill walked to the free throw line again, Kobe stood beside Zhang Chen, and said viciously.

"Do you blame me?"

Hearing Zhang Chen's answer, Kobe was taken aback. Isn't this nonsense? Don't blame him. If he didn't take the lead in doing this kind of thing, the game wouldn't be what it is now.

"If you want to blame it, you can blame Fatty for being too bad at free throws. You can also foul me without the ball. I won't care."

As soon as Zhang Chen finished speaking, he received a pass from his teammate, and immediately rushed up, "Despicable." Kobe cursed, and quickly followed.
