Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Shaq and I took turns to break out, and we started to break out in the first quarter. This obviously caught the Nuggets by surprise. Facing our crazy offense, their defense seemed to ignore one thing and the other, and they were quickly pulled away by us.

The difference was more than ten points.

But halfway through the first quarter, the Nuggets players seemed to slowly start to get into the game. At this time, the crazy offensive shock wave from Shaq and my side was almost over. At this time, the Nuggets

The team relied on the tacit cooperation between the players and slowly began to chase points.

In fact, except for me and Shaq, the other players on our Lakers team today are not in very good condition. At least so far, only Shaq and I have scored points. I scored 13 points, and Shaq scored 13 points.

8 points passed in the first quarter

Most of the time, the two of us scored as many as 21 points, but it may not be a good thing if we continue to play like this, because usually if your good state comes too early, it often means that your subsequent games may not be good.

It will be in good condition again.

During the second timeout, Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris took all the main players off the court. Substitutions at this time should be considered relatively normal, but the Nuggets did not replace their main players at this time.

If the players continue to change, after all, they are still 11 points behind us at this time. If we don't take advantage of the opportunity when our main players are off the field to chase a wave of points, I'm afraid there will be no good opportunities.

I now feel that it is more beneficial to leave the field earlier and rest, because leaving the field earlier means entering the field earlier. After all, we now hold a relatively large lead. If we can replace the main force first, we will be able to win the game after the whole game.

China will be in a relatively advantageous situation, and the initiative to make substitutions will be in the hands of our Lakers team.

However, after the timeout ended, the Nuggets began to take advantage of the fact that our substitute players had just come on the field and had not warmed up yet, and beat us two consecutive times before we were able to gain a firm foothold. The Nuggets' shooting touch from the outside today was actually a bit unstable.

Yes, sometimes difficult shots can be scored, but more often the opportunities are good and open positions cannot be grasped.

Our Lakers' substitutions have often been five-up and five-down this season. Now our Lakers' lineup is actually deep enough to support this kind of substitution. To be honest, I am more in favor of this kind of substitution, because first of all

It is beneficial for the starters and substitutes to be independent of each other as a whole for different games, which can help them form a unique lineup.

However, the shortcomings of such substitutions are actually very obvious. If the opponent targets it better, during the period of substitution, the substitute players will be slower to enter the match state and provide the opponent with a relatively large impact.

We can take advantage of this opportunity. Now our Lakers bench players are in such a state in the game against the Nuggets.

It seems that we still slightly underestimated the Nuggets' desire to win today. Although they were at an absolute disadvantage on both offense and defense at the beginning, they did not seem to give up early because of this, and instead seemed to become more tenacious.

But taking the lead made our Lakers players a little too relaxed.

In fact, the 11-point lead may be regained by the opponent soon. Sure enough, in less than three minutes, the Nuggets have already beaten our Lakers to a 7-0 climax, and even caught up the point difference.

Only 4 points.

However, the head coach Silver Fox Harris did not call a timeout at this time. His face looked very calm, as if everything on the field was as he expected. I suddenly had an illusion, as if I felt

This guy suddenly transformed into Zhugewei, with the ability to control all situations off the court.

Of course, our Lakers bench players are not vegetarians, and they will not become impatient or lose their fighting spirit due to a temporary bad state. The Lakers bench players, who have gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game on the court, began to play on the defensive end.

Added a lot of aggression.

At this time, the Nuggets' starters have been playing on the court for nearly a whole quarter, and their counterattack momentum has reached the end of the game. At this time, our Lakers' bench players began to work hard.

Defense can greatly increase their chances of making mistakes.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris shouted the word "defense" loudly to the substitute players on the sidelines. His voice was quite loud. Even under the extremely enthusiastic roar of the home fans, you could still hear clearly what he shouted.

Discourse.

After hearing his voice, the Lakers substitute players on the field also decisively strengthened their defensive intensity. In several rounds, they even started to double-team and press in half-court or even full-court areas. The effect of this move was

It was quite good. It directly disrupted the game rhythm of the Nuggets players in a short period of time. Whenever they made a mistake, it gave us the Lakers an opportunity to immediately launch a fast break counterattack.

However, both sides played a bit messily in the last two minutes of the first quarter. Although the Nuggets made three consecutive turnovers, our Lakers substitutes only seized one of the opportunities to score a two-plus-one.

As a result, in more than two minutes, the two sides only scored 3 points in total.

Our Lakers substitute players only scored 3 points in about five minutes of playing time. This made me shake my head off the court. During the team training this afternoon, I felt that their condition was not very good.

I don’t know what the reason is, but for some substitute players with limited talents, it is quite difficult to maintain a particularly good game state. In fact, even superstars have to maintain their best at all times.

The state is also a very big challenge.

In the long regular season, something unexpected may happen at any time. A large part of these things will affect your state, and you must maintain enough self-discipline and vigilance to survive.

Being able to avoid things that might cause your game to slip.

And it is really difficult to really do this.

During the first quarter, head coach Silver Fox Harris rarely criticized the substitute players. His attitude today seemed a bit different from usual. If he had been in his usual position, these substitute players would have performed so poorly.

I must have said a lot of things, but today it seems a bit strange, which makes me feel a bit unaccustomed.

After the start of the second quarter, our Lakers still followed the usual rotation lineup and did not replace the starting players. Instead, we continued to let the substitute players play on the court, while the Nuggets finally replaced their substitute players.

The players took the field.

To be honest, the overall strength of the Nuggets is indeed not very strong. One of the most important points is that their substitute players are not strong enough. It is no wonder that they let the main players play for such a long time, because if they are behind by many points,

If you bring in substitute players, it will only make the point difference further.

If the main force comes back, the point difference will be so big that it is almost impossible to catch up. It seems that their head coach's lineup arrangement is actually a last resort. After all, their lineup cannot be as good as ours.

This allows the starting players to get such a long rest.

After the second quarter, the Nuggets' offensive feeling suddenly dropped a lot. After all, our Lakers substitute players have finally found their game status, and the Nuggets' substitute players have their talent.

It's hard to get the feeling of the game when we go on the court. In this way, even if our Lakers don't replace the starting players, we can still give them a certain degree of advantage on the court.

However, although our Lakers substitute players have gained a certain advantage on the scene, this advantage on the scene did not immediately convert into a lead in the score, because of the shooting feel of several of our Lakers substitute players on the field today.

There is a point difference. Eddie Jones and Scott, the two most important substitutes, were not able to shoot today. It was obviously a good shot opportunity, but there was no way to convert the shot into

Score.

This stalemate continued. For about four minutes after the start of the second quarter, the two sides continued to fight back and forth. However, the actual score increase was not much. In four minutes, the two sides only scored a total of

Just less than 10 minutes.

Finally our Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris called a timeout. Obviously the scoring efficiency of our Lakers substitute players today was a bit too low. In fact, among our starting players, except for me and Shaq, the state is still the same.

In addition to maintaining excellent performance, the other three starters have not scored yet. This situation still has to be found. Otherwise, even if Shaq and I played well today, we may not be able to relax.

Defeating the Nuggets, after all, that would wear both of us out.

If Shaq and I need to go all out against a relatively weak team in the league, then our physical fitness will be greatly tested in the long run, and it will also bring about some serious injury risks.

In fact, during the regular season, Shaq is sometimes very lazy on the court. Under normal circumstances, his favorite area of ​​laziness is defense. There are many people who should be guarded or filled in by him.

They will all choose not to do it. Of course, under normal circumstances, as long as Shaq is not lazy on the offensive end, then the points he loses on the defensive end can still be regained through offense.

But if Shaq is lazy on the offensive end, then our Lakers offense is actually not that easy to play. Although our team seems to have several All-Stars or quasi-All-Star players, it also causes us to be too aggressive many times.

It relies on the players' personal abilities to complete the offense.

In fact, many times when our Lakers attack, it is a better way to score through singles of stars. If one person beats four people, it will undoubtedly allow the remaining four players to get some rest time on the court.

, of course, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to make the team into a whole, although the star's single scoring efficiency may not be better than that of team basketball.

The offensive efficiency is poor when the ball is on the ball, but at critical moments your star's physical fitness will have problems. When you need to use singles to solve the problem, your physical fitness is gone, and your opponent's defense against you has become particularly crazy.

And teammates have no touch because they haven't played with the ball for a long time. Therefore, teams that rely on star players to play in isolation often run very high risks.

In this case, our Lakers' offensive tactics need to find a balance between individual singles and team cooperation. Although many times our team

The team cooperation is not very good, and the scoring efficiency is not high, but we still have to work hard to get most of the players on the field to participate in the offensive round. Only in this way can the opponent have no choice.

Easily find ways to defend your team's offense.

A single tactic means that your opponent can easily find a way to restrain your offense. If our Lakers can form a good balance between team offense and star singles, then I believe our Lakers' overall strength will be greatly improved.

Big improvement.

In fact, during the team training, head coach Silver Fox Harris has already mentioned this to us. Of course, our players' attitude seems a bit indifferent to this, because after all, our current record is quite good, and it seems that subconsciously they all feel that

Head coach Silver Fox Harris's worries are a bit unnecessary.

But in fact, deep down in my heart, I agree with what he said. It’s just that our current Lakers team is relatively complicated. There are some things that cannot be explained simply. I can only try my best to do my best.

Okay, but there is no way to completely infect everyone through my own performance. Although I hope to do that, it is indeed impossible to do it now.

After all, the boss of the team now is Shaq, and his style of doing things is indeed a little different from mine, and even the impact he has on the team is somewhat conflicting, but I don’t want to directly talk to Shaq right now.

Confront each other.

In fact, it is normal to have different personalities and different thoughts. I am trying to make myself look indifferent like Shaq. Sometimes I feel that thinking too much and worrying too much are not good for me at all.

No, it's better to learn from Shaq. No matter what happens, he looks indifferent and always looks carefree like a child who has not grown up.

I also discussed Shaq's issues with Kobe's soul in a meditative state. Because he also had the memory of my previous life at this time, he knew very well the relationship between him and Shaq in the time and space of my previous life.

All kinds of grievances, including the very classic Eagle County incident and the sentence Shaq also did.

Kobe even laughed when he talked about it. It seemed hard for him to believe that he would do such a stupid thing, but in fact, many times if we look at ourselves from the perspective of a third party, we will

We find that many of our actions are very stupid, but when we experience it ourselves, we often fail to see these flaws in ourselves.

When Kobe's soul talks about himself, it's like talking about another person. To be honest, Kobe is smart enough. He can see many advantages and disadvantages in his career from another time and space.

, sometimes it makes people feel much more relaxed not having to experience it all themselves. At least you can more easily discover how many traps are waiting for you along the way.

After all, under normal circumstances, everyone has only one chance to choose in life. Once the opportunity is missed, it is of no use no matter how regretful you are. So now when Kobe's soul finds out that his career may be able to go

In another direction, he began to seriously think about his relationship with Shaq.

Perhaps all this is also a very special experience for Kobe's soul. After all, his real mental age at this time is only eighteen years old, but when he got the career of Kobe who was almost forty years old in another time and space,

With the memories of his experiences, some changes will definitely occur quietly in his heart.

Kobe is actually a very honest person. He confessed to me his true thoughts deep in his heart. He said that he was caught in some contradictions. He actually didn’t want to know what kind of person he might become in the future, because

He really felt that that was not cool at all, because any story that knew the ending was imperfect. Of course, if he didn't know the possible ending, he might still go down such a path, but now that he knows all this,

Subconsciously, he will try to avoid himself from reaching such an ending.

I also told Kobe a lot about my thoughts. At least after I got Kobe’s body, and after many experiences during this period, I felt that Kobe could indeed do better.

Of course, people like me who know the ending and the development of the story are like cheating on a test, but since my soul and Kobe's soul now have such an advantage, then we are unlikely to let our own

Careers develop as they have in the past.

Since you have already cheated, it is natural to do better. Otherwise, during the exam, you will be given the opportunity to copy the answers, and the score you copy will be lower than the score in the normal exam. Are you not mentally retarded?

The pause time was very short, but I did have a lot of mental thoughts. I didn’t enter the meditative state frequently today because I know that Kobe’s soul has been quite busy recently. He is busy taking care of me.

Searching for things in my past life memories that I don’t even know about

Details, he seemed to be more interested in my past life experiences than the memories of his own career. Maybe it’s because Kobe is indeed a person who doesn’t want to take the ordinary road, even if it’s the person who may collide with him.

Even he himself doesn't like it very much.

I spent more energy thinking about myself and my position in this Lakers team at this time. As a rookie, my performance in the past twenty games is definitely

It is much better than Kobe at the same time in another time and space. Now my scoring average is almost in the early twenties, my shooting percentage is close to 50%, and my three-point shooting percentage is hovering around 35%.

This kind of performance qualifies him to compete with Iverson for Rookie of the Year.

Of course, my goal is not just to compete with Iverson for Rookie of the Year. I even want to compete for the best team of the year, whether it is the best first team or the second team, whether it is the best defensive first team or the best team. Best defensive second team, in short, one thing is for sure, I will not relax my requirements for myself, although now I have felt some negative effects of the huge pressure on myself.

Pressure is also a very special thing. It can make you a very powerful person, but it may also directly destroy you, because pressure is a double-edged sword, or it is like taking a drug that can The same drugs that make you stronger but cause you harm.

The power of stress is sometimes more terrifying than these drugs. The help it can bring to you is actually greater than the drugs, and at the same time, the potential harm it may cause you is also greater than the drugs.

As long as your body is in good enough shape, you can resist the effects of drugs, but stress is something you cannot resist just by being in good health. You also need a very strong heart to do so.

When our Lakers starters return to the court, it will be difficult for the Nuggets to continue to resist, because their current starters have not yet been able to come back, while our starters have already After resting for a long enough time, I can clearly feel that the energy in my body is quite sufficient, and I am fully confident enough to lead the Lakers to a small climax in the second quarter to re-expand the lead to More than two digits.

When Shaq and I rejoined the court, we began to prepare to exert our strength again, but this time I also paid a little attention to creating offensive opportunities for my teammates. Van Exel actually also has a good desire to attack, but However, he felt like he was a little under-warmed today, but this is very strange, because he actually performed well during the team's warm-up training this afternoon, but now his sudden slump after the start of the game seems inexplicable.

In the first offense after the timeout, Van Exel and Shaq conducted a high pick-and-roll, and I circled directly from the baseline, preparing to use Shaq's second pick-and-roll to find outside shooting opportunities, but Van Exel Axel obviously didn't want to give me another shot, so when I got the chance, he didn't choose to pass it to me who had a better chance, but chose to take the shot himself.

Although his shot choice is strictly speaking, there is no problem, because after the high pick-and-roll between him and Shaq, Shaq cut inside to the basket and attracted the defensive attention of a large part of the Nuggets players to him. On the body, at this time, whether it is Van Exel, me who has already taken a chance, or Robert Horry in another period, all have good opportunities.

However, Van Exel's three-point shot flew directly towards the basket. The basketball almost entered the basket. But his luck today was really bad. The basketball actually circled around the basketball several times. After the circle, it went out again. Because the basketball only went in a small part, it could not be counted as a goal. Therefore, after the ball came out, it did not count as a score.

I saw Van Exel's expression full of frustration. Fortunately, Shaq seized the opportunity at this time. After grabbing the offensive rebound, he ended the offense with a powerful dunk. Shaq's dunk again

It ignited the enthusiasm of the home fans.

I also gave a thumbs up to Shaq. Shaq seemed a little unable to understand the meaning of my gesture. Then I remembered that in American culture, it seems that thumbs up is rarely used to praise.

Human, I only know that in their culture, raising the middle finger must mean a very bad thing, and I'm really worried that Shaq will misunderstand me.

But then Shaq still gave me a friendly smile, and then strode towards our Lakers half court.

The Nuggets did not spend more time feeling sorry for themselves because of Shaq's dunk. It was obvious that their substitute players were still very motivated at this time, and quickly completed the backcourt serve, and then quickly

He brought the ball to the frontcourt for organization. Because Shaq's return speed was a bit fast, the Nuggets did not have an easy chance to get a fast break counterattack.

In fact, we have paid more attention to defensive fast break counterattacks during today's game. After all, this is our home court. Our Lakers players will be more active here, especially on the defensive end. Many times when we are away from home,

Everyone will find that Shaq is the one who is very slow to return to defense, giving opponents many opportunities to launch fast break counterattacks. Sometimes some teams that are not very good at fast break counterattacks will because Shaq is really

It provided a great opportunity for fast break counterattack, so I chose to play fast break counterattack.

But today Shaq is very impressive

Although he doesn’t want to be a guy who doesn’t retreat in the eyes of the home fans, so no matter whether he defends to the outside on the defensive end today, at least in terms of defensive retreat, he did better today than he did in the away game before.

Much better.

In fact, the Nuggets themselves are not a team that likes to play fast break counterattacks, so they slowly organized in the frontcourt. Unknowingly, the rhythm of the game was slowed down by the Nuggets.

Faced with such a situation, our players on the field only need to stick to their defensive positions. The opponent has given us sufficient time to prepare for defense. In fact, our players on the field have more athletic talent than

They are so much better, there is no reason why they can't defend against their attacks.

In fact, the Nuggets really couldn't find a very good offensive opportunity. I felt that their players on the field were just slowing down the rhythm to prevent us from picking up the rhythm of the game and thus in a short period of time.

Giving up too many points is also to allow the starting players who are resting off the court to get more rest time.

The Nuggets' idea is indeed quite good, but the strength of their substitute players on the field is really poor. We did a little local double-team defense, which caused their ball-carrying players to make mistakes, and

Once a mistake is made, it will be our turn as the Lakers to counterattack with a fast break.

Our Lakers' fast break counterattack is not as rubbish as their fast break counterattack. When Shaq and Van Exel and I are on the fast break at the same time, it is difficult for the opponent to find a way to defend us.

Since the beginning of this season, I have conducted some special training on my running acceleration. The purpose is to improve my short-term explosive power so that I can increase my speed to the limit in a very short period of time during a fast break.

As long as my speed increases, to be honest, opponents basically have no way to guard me, because they can't keep up with my footsteps. Now I am very skilled in dribbling, so I can counterattack in fast break.

, react quickly to their temporary double-teaming or delay.

In the previous games, such as when facing the Rockets and the Sixers, their defense was very targeted at my fast break counterattacks, but it was of no use. The personal abilities of their defensive players

It's just not enough to defend me. As long as my speed increases, they simply can't keep up with my counterattack speed.

This is the so-called martial arts in the world, only fast is the best. In the NBA where the game is extremely fast, the absolute speed and the rate of change of speed are extremely important. Only by mastering a large enough advantage in speed can you have the opportunity to win the entire game.

Seize the advantageous points.

The Lakers' sudden increase in defensive intensity made the Nuggets players extremely unaccustomed to it. After consecutive mistakes and conceding the ball, the score on the court was soon reopened to more than 10 points. Deliberately delaying the offensive rhythm was actually very painful.

It destroyed their own game rhythm to a great extent and made them unable to find the sense of offense. Therefore, they had not scored for a long time and were already a little panicked.

Finally, when the score difference reached 12 points, the head coach of the opposite Nuggets team called a timeout. At this time, the second quarter was just about six minutes old. To be honest, this timeout came in time. Next

We're about to get back into action with the Nuggets' starters.

However, the overall strength of the Nuggets' starters is still a little worse than ours. When faced with a ten-point disadvantage and the crazy boos of away fans, can they cheer up?

Of course, I actually don’t want them to be defeated by us too quickly. After all, the first half of the game is not over yet. At least we have to wait until the end of the third quarter before collapsing. Otherwise, if it’s halftime

If we were more than 20 points behind us at the end, then the second half of the game would be too boring.

During the timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris reminded us not to take it too lightly. Although the current situation on the field is very favorable to us, the situation in the game may change greatly at any time, and we were also ahead before.

It's more than ten points, but the Nuggets have come back, so we'd better keep a low profile and not show too little respect for our opponents.

Of course, most of the Lakers players dismissed Silver Fox Harris's words. In fact, I think so too, because at this time we are already full of confidence in ourselves, and it is impossible to think that we will be at a disadvantage.

Status, after all, the gap in hard power cannot be said to be something that can only be caught up.

After returning from the timeout, the Nuggets replaced their starters again. I noticed some changes in the eyes of the Nuggets players. Their eyes made me feel a little less relaxed, because it seemed that

He looked like he was really going to show us something real.

In the previous game against the Rockets at home, Rockets players also had this look in their eyes at certain times. When I realized this, I quickly readjusted my mentality, at least not

We no longer just regard our opponents as those who are more than ten points behind us, but take the game with them seriously again.

However, our other Lakers starters did not seem to realize this. In the first round after returning from the timeout, the Nuggets starters showed a completely different game state and enthusiasm than before. One offense actually

There were more than three pick-and-roll tactics. Because their talents were relatively limited, the first two pick-and-rolls did not win them enough offensive opportunities.

However, their players on the field were too patient. They didn't take action until the third opportunity was passed by them, and they were completely unguarded. The result was a solid three-pointer.

This three-pointer re-boosted the Nuggets' morale a lot, and seemed to announce that the Nuggets' point-chasing action had officially begun. After losing the ball, our Lakers players still didn't seem to realize the problem.

The severity of the incident still did not give enough attention and respect to the Nuggets players.

Of course, this eventually cost us some money in the following minutes, especially Shaq. After returning from the timeout, he seemed a bit careless both on the offensive and defensive ends. On the offensive end, he kept going.

When he wanted the ball inside, even when faced with multiple double-teams from the opponent, he still had to hit the inside. Even if he caused a foul on the opponent's inside player, he was unable to seize the free throw opportunity. He failed to make four consecutive free throws.

.

If he continues like this, our entire Lakers offense will fall into a trough, and it is very likely that the Nuggets will start a shark-cutting tactic against Shaq in the future. This tactic was used by Shaq in the past two years.

Popovich was the first to use it, and later coaches like Nelson also began to use this tactic against Shaq.

In fact, the most powerful part of this tactic is not to prevent Shaq from scoring. In fact, Shaq's average free throw shooting rate is still 50%, which is equivalent to that he can still score one point every time he fouls Shaq.

In fact, it can be regarded as a decent scoring efficiency. The really scary thing about this tactic is that it destroys the offensive rhythm of the entire Shaq team.

When Shaq keeps making free throws, Shaq's teammates on the offensive end will basically not get a chance to attack. In this way, the entire team will lose the rhythm of the game. Once there is no feeling on the offensive end, it will also affect the players' performance on the defensive end.

Positive.

Basketball games are never about offense or defense alone. Offense and defense are always two sides of the same coin. Offense will affect defense, and defense will naturally affect offense. In this case, whether it is offense or defense.

If there is a serious problem in one aspect, the balance on the other side will be broken.

Therefore, a truly powerful team always has a balanced offense and defense. If it relies solely on offense or defense alone, there is no way to become the truly strongest team.

Fortunately, in the regular season, not many teams are willing to use such a disgusting tactic as the Shark Chopping Tactics. After all, this is a relatively demeaning tactic that will greatly damage the home fans.

In fact, many of our Lakers games are broadcast live across the United States. Such an ugly shark-cutting tactic will also cause the team to establish a very bad image among the entire fan base.

So although the shark-cutting tactic is very useful, not many head coaches will actually do it. Of course, if they enter a very critical game in the playoffs, those head coaches will no longer have such concerns.

, after all, the team is always willing to do whatever it takes to win. In competitive sports, only the final victory is the most important thing.

Of course, Shaq will always brag about himself, and his free throw shooting percentage will be very high every time at a critical moment. Of course, from my observation of Shaq in this short half of the season, Shaq is indeed good in some situations.

He has a pretty good free throw performance at critical moments in the game, but his performance is not very stable. He may perform well or perform poorly.

Often when he performs poorly, everyone will think it is normal, but when he performs better in a few games, it is easier to leave a deeper impression on the audience and Shaq himself, feeling that his performance at critical moments

Free throws are really amazing.

But in fact, overall, his free throws at critical moments may be slightly better, but there will definitely not be any qualitative improvement.

Shaq's consecutive missed free throws allowed the Nuggets to successfully protect the defensive rebounds. At this time, after their main players came on the court, they could launch a more effective fast break counterattack. After all, they had just come on the court and were still physically weak.

Slightly better than us.

As long as their players are willing to spare no effort in fast break counterattacks, it will still put a lot of pressure on our Lakers defense. You must know that our Lakers players on the court are a bit underestimating the enemy, which actually allows the Nuggets to have a chance.

Seize the opportunity.

At this time, they did seize this opportunity and continuously attacked our Lakers' inside line through fast break counterattacks. They also caused damage to our Lakers players and gained many free throw opportunities.

It's just that the Nuggets players' free throw shooting percentage is much higher than Shaq's. It takes almost five free throws to concede one. This makes us think a little bit more when choosing to foul.
