I am so Accurate

But for the Lone Ranger, or for Kobe, the good news is that O'Neal will not be able to play tonight, which is still their biggest advantage tonight.

And Johnson, as a coach who is good at defense, also made another defensive adjustment between the field and the field.

The Mavericks' defensive strategy changed from Kobe's single defense on the field to Bell's main defense, and then cut off the defensive strategy between Sun Hao and his teammates.

In other words, what Johnson means is that you can continue to score 50 points for Sun Hao, but forget about 10+ assists.

Moreover, Kobe maintained the offensive state of the previous game. After liberating the defensive end, he once again scored with Sun Hao.

As a result, although Sun Hao was still fully fired on the offensive end and scored 47 points, the Lakers still lost to the Mavericks 89-100 in the away game.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from Sun Hao, only Finley scored more than 15 points on the Lakers.

The role players of the Lakers exposed their shortcomings of insufficient autonomous offensive ability under this intensity of the game.

That is, this game made fans realize one thing: basketball games are always for five people.

Even if he is as strong as Jordan, he has been "educated" by the Pistons before meeting his Pippen.

And to be honest, the Mavericks team with Nowitzki and Kobe is no weaker than the bad boy team.

It is already a miracle that Sun Hao won the game without O'Neal in the last game.

Such things as miracles are given such names because they are extremely rare. If they are everywhere like Chinese cabbage, who would think it is a miracle?

And what more can you ask for from a player who scored 40+ back-to-back in the playoffs and scored 100 points in two games?

The good news is that O'Neal is coming back.

After getting enough rest, O'Neill's injury has improved significantly and he has met the requirements for playing.

In the offseason training sessions between three or four games, O'Neal seemed to be a rookie on the first day of an NBA game, showing extra commitment.

For a person with his personality, facing Kobe, he sat down for two games off the court, which really suffocated him a bit.

Even during the full-court confrontation training, he made a two-handed dunk across Divac.

Divac's face was full of question marks: The conflict between you OK, the final result of co-authoring is that I have to be dunked by the two of you in turn?

But Phil Jackson didn't pay attention to Divac's feelings when he saw the ball, and the joy in his heart showed on his face.

In O'Neal's state, the probability of the Lakers winning the next game is at least 80%.

After playing Tianwangshan with the Spurs, he didn't want to return to Los Angeles with a 2-2 score.

"Shaq, I'll give you more passes."

After the training, Sun Hao said to the impatient O'Neill.

After two consecutive games of crazy output, he can finally relax a little bit.

It feels good to get a high score, but it is tiring after the fun.

This is the same thing as that.

"No, you take more shots from the outside, and I will play a check on the inside."

However, O'Neill's reaction surprised Sun Hao.

The meaning of this sentence can actually be understood as: I will help you!

This is not at all like what O'Neill would say!

Just like when the two talked about the MVP, O'Neal would only say "I think it's okay to give you the MVP", not "You should be the one who gets the MVP"!

The meaning of the two sentences is completely different!

"Don't look like that, I'm 34 years old, do you really think I can score 40 points and grab 20 rebounds every night?"

O'Neal's next words made Sun Hao even more surprised.

The two have worked together for a season now, and O'Neal has never said anything about his age.

It seems that this injury has changed his view of the game.

However, O'Neill's next words made Sun Hao understand what his transformation was.

"You know? Ever since I was swept by Hakeem in the finals that year, I told myself that I must never lose again. In order to do that, I must become strong enough to carry the team. on one's shoulders.

All these years in Los Angeles, whether it's Kobe Bryant or a kid, or after he's played, I've been doing that. I tell myself, when the kid doesn't feel good, I'm going to grab every rebound. Because I can't lose.

So even if you come to Los Angeles, I give my best every night when I play, I know everyone is waiting to see my jokes, what a stupid decision it is for a management to choose to keep a 34-year-old veteran .

But in the past two games, I found one thing. God is fair to me. He first let me meet an extremely selfish guy, and then let me meet an extremely selfless guy, and this selfless guy, Strong enough to let me go. "

Sun Hao blushed uncontrollably after hearing this.

Although it is not as direct as Malone's, but what O'Neill said is very embarrassing.

But there is nothing wrong with saying this. Any player, when he is 34 years old, will be willing to play support when he sees his teammates score 100 points in two games in the playoffs.

Although O'Neill is arrogant, he is not Kobe's kind of arrogance.

What's more, Sun Hao and Kobe gave him very different feelings, and it can even be said to be two extremes.

Kobe's strength has not yet reached that level, so he wants to compete with him for power, while Sun Hao's strength is already very strong, but he keeps passing him the ball.

Don't say he is O'Neill, even a normal person can't stand such kindness.

So in conclusion, it is really normal for O'Neill to say such a thing.

"Shaq, you can still dominate the game, you're not old."

Sun Hao said.

In fact, O'Neal's dominance at this age is still there, and his biggest problem is the hidden danger of injuries.

"Of course, how can Shaq get old, but that doesn't affect what I just said."

O'Neill, it seems, is determined to do that.

Sun Hao nodded. O'Neill has already said that. It would be inappropriate for him to say that you are leading the offense.

"Then, let's get not one, not two, not three, but four, five, six championships!"

Sun Hao went on to say what O'Neill said to him.

After hearing this, O'Neill laughed, then reached out to look at Sun Hao, and gave him a high five.

The two of them have officially reached an agreement!

That night, Game 4 of the Wizards-Pistons series took the lead at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

After the Wizards took a 2-1 lead, they took the initiative in the series. If they can make another victory in the away game, then promotion will become a high probability event.

But the Pistons obviously won't let them do so.

After a slump, Anthony recovered and scored 29 points, telling the world with his actions that he is still the ripe and sweet melon.

And the Pistons have done similar things to the Mavericks, completely cutting off the connection between other role players and Yao Mai.

As a result, despite Yao Mai and McGrady scoring 55 points together, the Wizards still lost 87 to 94.

Well, Sun Hao felt very familiar when he saw this percentage.

In those years, the Houston team coached by Van Gundy always regretted losing as many points as Yao Maihe scored, and even the role players lost with less than 20 points combined.

Van Gundy's tactical system is too dependent on the core.

Facts have proved that he is indeed lacking in this aspect, and even Hamilton is almost used by him as an ordinary role player.

With a 2-2 tie, the Wizards and Pistons are about to usher in the battle of Tianwangshan.

Jordan will not be happy with this result, but the fans are happy to hear it. You must know that they have not seen a tiebreaker since the start of the playoffs.

It would be great if there could be one or two in the conference finals for them to enjoy.

The next night, Game 4 of the Lakers-Mavericks series kicked off at the National Airlines Center.

It is worth mentioning that the training of the two teams today is fully closed and not open to the outside world.

So before the game, no one knows what the two teams have prepared for tonight's game.

This instead makes fans look forward to it even more.

The return of O'Neill and the mysterious preparations all made the game full of anticipation.

That night, the National Airline Center Arena was packed, and the fans were looking forward to it.

The East has already tied 2-2, and they naturally expect the Mavericks to make another victory at home, and also have a battle against Tianwangshan.

However, it is not as simple as the last game for the Mavericks to win tonight, because O'Neal on the Lakers side is back.

After the opening ceremony before the game, the starting lineups of both sides were released one after another.

The starting lineups on both sides have basically remained unchanged compared with the previous game. The only change is that O'Neal replaced Divac and returned to the starting lineup.

Because Dampier was used by the Mavericks in the first game, this is the first time since the series that both sides have such a starting lineup.

The game started immediately, and the starting players from both sides appeared one after another.

At this moment, there was a small detail on the court. O'Neal smiled and looked at Kobe a few times when he was on the court.

That expression seemed to say: Brother is back!

"beep!"

As soon as the whistle sounded, O'Neal took the lead and swiped the ball over Diop's head, giving the Lakers the first chance to attack!

One thing can be seen from the opening jump ball: O'Neal's desire to play tonight is no lower than the first game of the series!

Johnson also trembled inexplicably. Is O'Neal going to stage the first game of that kind of shark out of the cage tonight?

But soon, he found that the reality was a little different from what he thought.

O'Neal, instead of sinking directly to the basket to catch the ball like in the first game, twisted his big butt and ran to the high position to play a pick-and-roll for Sun Hao.

This choice surprised Johnson, and he was relieved.

If O'Neal swallows the Mavericks alive in the paint again, he will really be a little bit unbearable.

But in fact, what Johnson overlooked is that O'Neal has just returned from injury, and it is unlikely to play like that again.

If it is really hard to lie down again, it is obviously not worth the candle.

Bell once again hit the south wall, and Sun Hao used the screen to shoot a three-pointer directly.

This is a classic match between him and O'Neal.

"when!"

It's a pity that his first shot missed the frame a bit.

It can be seen that the past two games have consumed a lot of his physical energy.

Johnson was ecstatic when he saw this.

O'Neal didn't go to the basket to play, and Sun Hao exhausted his energy. Tonight, the Lone Ranger has a greater chance of winning than imagined!

Not to mention, he also prepared a killer weapon tonight.

In his excitement, he had already got up and walked to the sidelines and shouted for the team to speed up their offense.

Kobe, after playing a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, and after the pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to Nowitzki!

Everyone was shocked!

You must know that in the past three games, to be precise, it should be the season when Kobe came to the Mavericks. After he got the ball, he basically did it alone, including the pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, just to create a chance for misplaced singles.

But now, he passed the ball!

This is Johnson's trump card.

Some people may say that Kobe's current personality makes it impossible to pass the ball to Nowitzki.

This is true, but there are variables in everything.

This variable has to start with Nowitzki's hug and words of encouragement after the second fiasco.

Just like O'Neal recognized Sun Hao, after that incident, Kobe also recognized Nowitzki.

So he may still not trust others and is unwilling to pass it on to others, but Nowitzki, he is willing.

Nowitzki, a mid-range shot after receiving the ball.

"Shua!"

Still the familiar silky shot, Nowitzki steadily sent the ball into the basket!

The Mavericks, come out on top!

There were thunderous cheers at the scene.

In the opening game of offense and defense, the Mavericks completely overwhelmed the Lakers.

A signal sent out here is: they can win tonight!

"Defend! Defend!"

This also made the fans on the scene excited, and spontaneously started to cheer for the home team.

Although, the game has just begun!

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, and Johnson's eyes were still on O'Neal at this time.

Based on his understanding of O'Neal, if his teammates don't grasp a pick-and-roll opportunity, O'Neal will probably go to the basket and attack by himself.

As long as Diop can fight hard to defend O'Neal, the "momentum" is completely on the Mavericks' side.

In the home game, the role of this "potential" will be extremely huge.

Uh... O'Neill ran to play a pick-and-roll for Sun Hao again.

Johnson froze for a moment.

I didn't expect you to be such a big shark!

O'Neal's performance in the opening game was clearly supporting Sun Hao!

It's just unbelievable.

Not to mention this season, even when he was with Kobe, O'Neal played a limited number of pick-and-rolls for Kobe.

In O'Neal's own words, it's so easy for me to score under the basket, and playing pick-and-rolls is a waste of energy.

But now O'Neill has changed, and Johnson doesn't know him anymore.

Then, Sun Hao used O'Neill's pick-and-roll to break through directly and quickly!

The strike on the first ball made him realize that he didn't feel good tonight, and he started to kill more at the basket!

Diop obviously couldn't keep up with the reaction, and tried his best to chase Sun Hao, but the block of the last shot was lonely, watching Sun Hao's quick low-handed layup.

Sun Hao scored the Lakers' first 2 points tonight!

O'Neill looked as happy as Sun Hao, he waited for Sun Hao to come over and gave him a high five, and turned his head to look at Kobe.

Well, he is back, and he continues to show affection with Sun Hao!

What. the. fxck!

Kobe was pissed off.

This was unbearable. After he got to the frontcourt, he took the ball and started to rush inside.

In the last game, his breakthrough was tried and tested, but in this game, Christie still couldn't stop him.

He broke through the defense and broke into the paint, got up and was a... what was he thinking!

When O'Neal came back, the Lakers' internal strength was not at the same level as before.

It was simply unrealistic for Kobe to face O'Neal and want to play dunks. He could only show his waist and abdomen strength in the air and stage a difficult back fall.

O'Neal's defensive pressure was too great, and Kobe's shot finally hit the frame!

O'Neal turned around and grabbed the defensive rebound!

On the other side of the court, Johnson couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead.

His trump card seemed to disappear after only one round!

That sentence is right, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change!

When Kobe was rational, he could try to make some changes, but after being stimulated by O'Neal, he returned to his original self!

This is probably the biggest difference between him and O'Neill.

Well, O'Neal continued to mention the high position to play pick-and-rolls for Sun Hao, and his goal tonight is to become the number one support in the NBA.

Another pick-and-roll went in, and the Mavericks' line of defense moved towards Sun Hao's side, and Sun Hao directly threw the ball into the air.

He has never been a player who only has eyes for the basket!

O'Neal rose to the air almost at the same time.

A natural tacit understanding from the Instant Kill combination.

"Boom!"

Amidst the exclamation of the fans, O'Neal grabbed the ball in the air and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

Empty City!

The slightly low presence in the previous few rounds made some fans feel that O'Neal became afraid to play after being injured.

But the ball just now was announcing to everyone: the big shark is back with full blood!

The scene was restless.

The "momentum" Johnson expected did not appear.

On the contrary, it was the cooperation just now that caused the Lakers bench to boil for a while, and the Lakers meant to start.

Kobe, the emergency stop jump shot after the breakthrough hit!

Johnson said that his heart couldn't bear it a bit. This half angel and half devil, normal people will have heart disease sooner or later.

4 to 4!

The opening performance of both sides was different from the previous games, but what is certain is that it was even more exciting than the previous games!

O'Neill, continue to play pick and roll for Sun Hao!

This time, Sun Hao used the pick-and-roll to break through the feint, forcing Diop to take a big step back.

The lethality of Sun Hao's previous two breakthroughs is too great, and the MVP halo bonus is not a joke with you.

But it was also because of that that Diop was clearly overreacting.

Then you may not believe it, because O'Neill blocked Bell so hard that Sun Hao got a completely open opportunity.

He adjusted his breathing rarely, glanced at the basket before shooting.

He was looking for a shot rhythm because the first shot was missed.

The shot of this ball is almost a textbook action of a single-action shot.

After the ball is shot, it spins in the air and draws a perfect parabola.

"Shua!"

Then, with a crisp sound, the basketball fell steadily into the net bag!

Sun Hao scored a three-pointer!

The Lakers' bench is boiling again.

Everyone knows how important it is to the Lakers for Sun Hao to regain his touch!

Of course Johnson knows too!

He didn't touch his forehead this time, but rubbed his forehead vigorously.

"Potential", it's on the side of the Lakers!

Kobe, after breaking through, made a jump shot with an emergency stop.

But the moment he shot, a huge shadow rushed towards him.

O'Neal!

Kobe never expected that O'Neal, who was too lazy to move in the paint, would pounce!

Tonight's O'Neill really refreshed his cognition!

He thought he played with O'Neal and knew enough about O'Neal.

He can only be forced to release the angle too high, and the ball barely passes O'Neal's fingertips, but the angle is obviously wide.

"when!"

Kobe made continuous shots!

Malone recovered and protected the defensive rebound!

"Shaq looked a little different tonight."

In the commentary, Kenny Smith also found that O'Neill was different tonight.

"This guy acts like Sun's younger brother."

Barkley is indeed a big mouth, and he has a lot of grievances with O'Neal. Although he is a "Lakers fan" now, he should seize the opportunity to black or black.

Smith, after thinking for a while, nodded seriously.

This scene caused Barkley to laugh wildly.

He didn't expect Smith to nod his head!

Smith seems to have just realized that he is also blacking O'Neal with Barkley.

"What Shaq did tonight is very similar to what Karl did last game, but he can obviously do a lot more."

In order to cover up, he still explained.

Barkley couldn't stop laughing.

But there was a lot of happiness in his smile.

Because he knows that O'Neal's doing so means that he has truly given up the position of the Lakers boss.

The Lakers era that belongs to Sun Hao will soon come next season!

The Lakers played a defensive counterattack. After catching the ball, Sun Hao rushed in one-stop. After avoiding Fisher's steal, he took a step forward and dunked with both hands.

Because of the fierceness of the charge, he swung around the basket before landing after dunking.

Los Coote!

The scene was restless.

If it wasn't because Sun Hao was wearing a purple-gold shirt, they would have already wanted to cheer for Sun Hao!

This used to be their Sun Hao!

But now, it can only belong to someone else!

4 to 9!

The Lakers started to open up the score.

After Nowitzki received the ball, the Golden Rooster's independent backward shot also missed.

After the "momentum" fell to the Lakers, the Mavericks' offense began to be affected.

Moreover, after O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound, he made another long throw. Sun Hao once again staged a one-stop fast break, avoiding Fisher's defense in the air, and then put a basket to score!

4 to 11!

Johnson, was forced to call a timeout.

O'Neal didn't score much after his comeback, and he only scored 2 points after playing for almost five minutes.

But the Lakers quickly established a lead.

There is no other reason, simply because of defense!

After O'Neal's return, the Lakers' inside defensive ability has improved exponentially.

Kobe Bryant like in the previous two games as he wanted in the paint? impossible!

It has even become difficult for the Mavericks to grab offensive rebounds.

As Sun Hao knows, O'Neal's strength in this period is still at the dominant level, he just has potential injuries!

Back from the timeout, Kobe pulled away from the defense.

Johnson shifted the focus of offense to Nowitzki.

And the Mavericks started to play their best mismatch singles.

Nowitzki misplaced on O'Neal, and hit a step-back jumper.

It is still the "Silver Horn King" familiar to fans, and this action is very much like a defender.

6 to 11!

Johnson's timeout was very successful.

But looking back, Sun Hao then played a pick-and-roll with O'Neal.

And after he walked out, he didn't rush to shoot, but waited for O'Neal to cut through the ball.

The two really had a good understanding. O'Neal was already ready to catch the ball. After getting the ball, he rolled over Bell and scored with ease.

6 to 13!

The Lakers' offense is simple and rude, but the Mavericks just can't defend it!

At this time, the fans discovered that after O'Neill's output was changed to support, he was still ridiculously strong!

Nowitzki played O'Neal again, and this time Malone had a defense.

Nowitzki gives the ball to Diop.

Diop's dribble layup was directly blocked by O'Neal who returned to the defense!

As a player, Diop, no matter how good his defense is, how bad his offense is!

Otherwise, if he also has offense, he is not a role player, but at least an absolute main force like Okafor!

Christie showed off her scalpel reflexes, saw where the ball landed and rushed over to snatch it, then lay on the ground and threw the ball to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao took the ball and made a fast break. This time he passed the ball to Finley who was following up on the other side during the fast break.

6 to 15!

The point difference has reached 9 points!

Johnson's timeout did help, but apparently, it wasn't enough.

Kobe, took the ball again and started to do it alone.

When Johnson's tactics didn't work, he started playing his own game.

However, he showed his golf intelligence. The ball called Diop out for a pick-and-roll, dribbled to the free throw line and threw a fadeaway.

O'Neal couldn't expand that position. Although Christie interfered a little with Kobe's shot, he still made the ball with his excellent personal ability.

8 to 15!

After the goal, Kobe stretched out his hand and clenched his fist.

He won't give up easily!

Sun Hao and O'Neal made another three-pointer after the pick-and-roll.

"..."

O'Neill is determined to play support tonight, and Sun Hao is also constantly upgrading, starting to show his strong output firepower!

8 to 18!

The Dallas fans who were originally full of momentum and cheered for the home team at the beginning began to lose their energy.

In half a quarter, the point difference is already in double digits!

Maybe at this time they realized one thing, they were a big defeat in the first game of the series!

In the next two games, I was able to stay anxious with the Lakers because O'Neal was injured!

But now, O'Neill is back...

Well, at this moment, there is an uncontrollable sense of despair in the hearts of the fans.

Then, their desperation lasted the whole game.

Facing the output support combination of Sun Hao and O'Neal, the Mavericks were completely overwhelmed.

Some people may think that the Lone Ranger team is not that weak, but in fact, the issue of style of play and tacit understanding are really important in basketball games.

If Kobe can continue to play pick-and-roll cooperation with Nowitzki as Johnson explained, then the Mavericks still have a dozen.

But it's a pity that Kobe's character during this period determined that he would not do that.

If you use primary school mathematics to measure the combination of the two sides and the two teams, O'Neal and Sun Hao are 1+1 far greater than 2, while Kobe and Nowitzki are less than 2.

Coupled with the presence of O'Neal, Kobe could not score by hitting the inside as he did in the past.

So it is not surprising that the game is played like this.

In the end, similar to the result of the first game, the Lakers beat the Mavericks 105 to 89 in the away game!

The 2-2 Tianwangshan game that fans were looking forward to did not appear. After winning this game, the Lakers led 3-1 by a big score.

They have already won the match point of the series!

Unlike the first game, O'Neal did not make a big splash tonight. He "only" scored a double-double of 21 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 blocks.

Sun Hao scored the most points for the Lakers, scoring a game-high 37 points, almost creating the first 3 consecutive playoff games with 40+ points in NBA history.

It's a pity not to set a record, but it's not a pity at all in front of this result.

And the Dallas fans who watched the game were even more desperate, because they found that they couldn't find a point where the Mavericks could reverse the series.

This makes them feel unacceptable.

You must know that the Mavericks, Lakers and Spurs were recognized as the first echelon teams in the Western Conference.

The Spurs and the Lakers played in the sixth game, and they regretted falling behind after Sun Hao scored 51 points.

But the Lone Ranger team, after four games, caught O'Neal's injury and couldn't play, and only won one game...

This is too different from what they imagined!

But it was also at this time that the fans realized how strong the previous Spurs were compared to the Mavericks.

"The strongest team that could stop them has been knocked out in the semi-finals and now nobody can stop them from winning the title."

Near the end of the game, Barkley started his big mouth again.

Smith on the side nodded in no hurry at the moment.

The Wizards and Pistons in the East are very strong. Even if the Lakers can win, it will not be easy to win the championship.

Of course, he understands Barkley's habits, and if he doesn't say something big, he won't be him.

In the press conference after the game, the Lakers played after the Mavericks as the visiting team.

Unlike the dull or even desperate atmosphere before, the Lakers' press conference can really be described as relaxed.

"I don't know why the combined score between me and Sun is 58 points. Maybe it's because Sun beat others by 58 points when he was in Dallas?"

When O'Neill is happy, he is full of funny style.

It's just that after tomorrow's report came out, a certain wolf king in Minnesota expressed that he was offended.

"During the game, we noticed that you didn't attack with the ball much. Is it because you just came back from injury, or because Sun's touch is better?"

The reporter asked O'Neill such a question.

It is not only the players and fans on the sidelines who can feel the difference in O'Neal's style of play tonight, media reporters have also discovered this.

"neither."

O'Neill smiled and shook his head.

This move stunned the reporter for a moment, and made other reporters look at O'Neill.

They always feel that what O'Neill will say next will be a very important sentence.

Facts also proved that their hunch was right.

"Because Sun is the boss of the Lakers now."

O'Neill said unhurriedly.
