Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 73: Fighting the Houston Rockets Again

Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris's tactical explanation felt a bit endless. Of course, maybe after seeing that the players didn't listen too seriously, he felt that he didn't have the energy to continue talking.

, after making some brief summaries, he decided to let us actually conduct tactical exercises.

In fact, since the beginning of this season, Silver Fox Harris has not actually practiced much on the Lakers' tactics. In fact, I think he should strengthen the training and strengthening in this area so that our Lakers players can

Have a better awareness of tactical execution. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. The more deficiencies you have now, the more effort you need to put in special training.

Silver Fox Harris's tactical system actually uses high-post pick-and-roll as the basic tactical point. Shaq is the biggest core of our Lakers' tactical system. Most of the tactical initiation and execution still require his participation.

.

However, Shaq has a problem that is quite difficult to solve, that is, most of the time, Shaq prefers to directly catch the ball in the interior and initiate attacks, rather than participating in high pick-and-roll tactics. Previously, Silver Fox Harris

In fact, one way is more in line with Shaq's wishes. There is no mandatory requirement for him to play high pick-and-roll tactics. But today's Silver Fox Harris seemed a little tougher than usual. He clearly asked Shaq to participate.

In terms of the overall tactical execution of the team, because many teams now use double-teaming tactics to target him, so in order for him and the Lakers as a whole to perform better, he must deal with the low tactical execution of the Lakers in the past.

Make some adjustments.

Shaq was more obedient today, and did not question the request made by head coach Silver Fox Harris. He even showed good enthusiasm after the tactical training began.

In fact, Shaq's high pick-and-roll is extremely powerful, because he has extremely strong mobility and finishing ability at the basket. If he can cooperate with a defender who has a high singles threat or strong organizational ability, then Shaq's power will inevitably increase.

Substantial improvement.

Of course, now that I have entered the Lakers' starting lineup, it means that the ball-holding point for this pick-and-roll will normally be me. Although the Lakers' starting point guard can also do such a thing,

His height and actual on-court lethality are still not as good as mine.

However, this high pick-and-roll tactic sounds very simple, so after practicing it a few times, Shaq began to look listless again, as if everything was too simple and it was difficult to touch his nerves.

Silver Fox Harris also noticed this, and decided to let the team start more complex tactical drills. These more complex tactics are mainly aimed at the team's off-ball pitchers. The whole team needs to use tactical movements to maximize their chances of success.

This creates better shooting space for pitchers.

Under the new tactical system of Silver Fox Harris, I became the ball-handling point in the backcourt, while the original starting point guard of the Lakers became the offensive point without the ball. I don't know whether this arrangement is reasonable, but since it was before

The existing tactics have been proven not to be efficient enough, so we might as well conduct some drills on new tactics.

In the new tactics, Shaq will not go inside to ask for the ball at the beginning, but will provide some screens for me holding the ball on the wings. However, subsequent tactical changes will be more complicated and will be based on the actual personnel of the opponent team.

Arrange for temporary response. When encountering a team with a strong inside line, our tactical system must try to find ways to use pick-and-roll screens and substitutions to dislocate the defenders from the opponent's inside players, and use the advantages of speed and range of small players to attack.

.

When the smaller player pulls the opponent's perimeter out of the inside penalty area, Shaq cuts inside. Of course, if the outside player has a chance, he will shoot directly, while Shaq is responsible for grabbing offensive rebounds.

Generally speaking, I personally think this set of offensive tactics is quite good. When facing a team that is not very strong inside, just pass the ball to Shaq directly. If the opponent double-teams Shaq crazily,

If so, then you need to use another set of tactics.

Shaq is usually double-teamed after receiving the ball in the low post. At this time, the opponent's defense usually shrinks to a certain extent. When facing a team that shrinks faster, Shaq needs to be able to give the ball to him in time.

The pass is passed out, but if the opponent's defense shrinks slowly, then Shaq himself can fully attack before the opponent double-teams him.

The key issue is how to improve Shaq's passing awareness. Judging from the current situation, Shaq's passing ability is actually above average among inside players. In fact, whether a player's passing ability is good depends on his ball control ability.

Just know that players with strong ball control skills will not be much worse at passing.

Shaq can dribble from the backcourt to the frontcourt many times to complete a one-stop attack. This fully demonstrates that he has a certain basic dribbling ability, so I believe that his basic passing skills should not be too bad, and

The fundamental reason for his poor passing in the actual game was still his poor passing awareness. He was not able to pass the ball to his teammates in the first and best time, thus delaying the key offensive node, which also led to

The Lakers' outside catch-and-shoot players cannot be more efficient.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris finally decided to put me in the starting lineup, which meant that he preferred to let me, an outside player, initiate the team's tactics, because Shaq was too vulnerable to being double-teamed by the opponent when he directly took the ball.

At the same time, because Shaq's passing awareness is not good, he can only become the end point of the ball, but cannot be a good tactical starting point. The best way is to let Shaq be the end point without the ball.

.

This can not only greatly reduce the defensive intensity of Shaq, but also further improve Shaq's offensive efficiency and reduce his mistakes after being double-teamed. In addition, it can also slightly improve the Lakers' overall game rhythm.

No more slow positional battles for every ball.

I conducted the tactical drills according to the idea that the head coach Silver Fox Harris told me. In fact, I have to say that Silver Fox Harris’s tactical literacy is actually very good. I even think that many of his tactical standards are

Above Phil Jackson, but as I said before, the biggest difference between him and Phil Jackson is the management level. In fact, he might be better as an assistant coach. Let Phil Jackson be the head coach. I

I think the Lakers will be able to defeat the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan this season. Of course, the head coach of the Chicago Bulls this season is still Phil Jackson, so it is impossible for him to go to the Lakers to defeat himself, hahaha!

After Shaq liberated his own ideology, he also seemed to find that he was very powerful when playing without the ball. Of course, I can't just regard Shaq as a bigger cake king, but what I must say is, if

Let Shaq concentrate on eating cakes, and there will be no more problems with the cake king. The inside story will end, haha.

During the regular season of this season, our Lakers actually played against several teams with top Hall of Fame insiders. The Houston Rockets we are going to face again tonight have an old enemy of Shaq.

Dream Olajuwon, this senior who once taught Shaq a lesson in the playoffs, can be regarded as one of the five strongest centers in history. He is the best in terms of offense, defense and technology.

existence.

In fact, in Shaq's head-to-head contest with Dameng, although his shooting percentage and statistics looked pretty good, the overall rhythm of the game was always firmly controlled by Dameng's side. I wonder if Dameng Ola

What kind of defensive strategy will Zhu Wang have when facing Shaq who can play without the ball? But will Shaq really be willing to play without the ball tonight?

Especially when facing the Big Dream, I think Shaq is likely to become enthusiastic again and forget all about tactics and the like. Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that there may be more than one person who is enthusiastic.

Shaq, and myself, hahaha, after all, I am Kobe now, and I am the only one who can play in isolation!

The tactical drill lasted for about an hour. It can be said that the tactical drill within our team today is quite detailed and should be of some help in future games. However, there is always a need for new tactical applications.

It's a process, so it's impossible to say that there will be earth-shaking changes immediately.

Because the tactical drill time is relatively long, we did not conduct group confrontation training this afternoon. At the end of the training, head coach Silver Fox Harris compared his tactical thoughts with the team's tactical focus.

Some explanations were given with the intention of leaving a deep impression on the Lakers players.

The remaining time is left to the players to make their own arrangements. The game between the Lakers and the Rockets will start in two hours. Last time we defeated the Rockets at their home court, this time they will definitely try their best to win.

After all, we are a very important competitor in the Western Conference, and we may also meet in the playoffs. A victory in the regular season can gain some psychological advantages for the playoffs.

I didn't do any more basketball training for the next two hours. Instead, I went to have dinner and then rested for a while. I called Jessica to talk about Sir Faustin and his...

Things about the manor.

Jessica's tone on the phone seemed a bit low, as if something bad had happened. After my questioning, Jessica finally said it. It turned out that the closure of the Los Angeles County Museum of History this morning was really related to Faustin.

Jazz and his estate have a close relationship, in fact yesterday less than three hours after Jessica and I left the Los Angeles County Museum of History.

At about 8:40 pm, some masked weirdos broke into the museum and stole a large number of important historical documents. However, surprisingly, the equipment in the museum did not respond at that time.

Even the video footage of these intruders was hidden at the time.

It was not until the museum opened in the morning that the staff discovered the fact that a large number of cultural relics had been stolen. Then the police intervened to investigate the matter. Because some of the lost documents contained high-security parts, the FBI and CIA would enter one after another.

But why the media received the news so early is still a mystery.

In fact, many media got the news even earlier than the police. This is an illogical thing in itself, unless there are other insiders about this matter, and this insider is also very likely to be the murderer, but the murderer is so

What its true purpose is remains unknown.

Jessica also used some special connections to obtain information about the lost documents. At least one thing is certain, that is, the historical information about Sir Faustin and his manor is accurate.

The information has actually been lost in this incident, but it is still unknown what the information that government agencies consider to be of high security level is.

I can't explain more details to Jessica on the phone. I can only wait until after tonight's game, and then we can find a place to have a good chat.

I lay down on the stool in the locker room and took a nap for a while. Various pictures kept popping up in my mind, including everything I experienced and discovered with Jessica in the past two days, as well as the previous two-on-two with Shaq and the others.

Situation, in short, my mind is very messy right now, but I really want it to calm down slowly so that I can concentrate on facing the next game.

Half an hour later, the game between the Lakers and the Houston Rockets was about to begin. The audience on the sidelines was extremely enthusiastic. Thinking of the last time we were a guest at the Toyota Center, the Rockets fans seemed to have little energy, at least in terms of momentum.

There is absolutely no comparison with us Lakers fans.

After all, the Rockets also have a luxurious Big Three consisting of the dream Olajuwon, the flying pig Charles Barkley, and the glider Drexler. Plus we have a lot of star players from the Lakers. It is said that they are not popular.

It's impossible without box office appeal. In addition, this game is broadcast live across the United States. I heard from Jessica that the ticket price for this game has doubled several times before the game.

Sure enough, I had made it to the starting list. When the host read out the team's starting players one by one during the opening ceremony, I was finally able to hear my name.

Shaq and Olajuwon jumped the ball in the opening game. I originally thought it was Shaq who easily jumped the ball again. Maybe Shaq thought so too, so he didn't put much effort into it. But Olajuwon jumped the ball today.

He was much more serious than last time, and he actually jumped the ball, and the Rockets took the lead in attacking.

I started directly against Drexler, the Rockets' star guard, and the Rockets' first ball tactic was to open up and let him hit me alone.

They may think that I am a rookie player and have just been put into the starting lineup. With Drexler's ability, I should not have a problem playing alone, and they can take this opportunity to kill my spirit.

Of course, I'm not that easy to deal with, because I know in my heart that if I get hit on the first ball in the game and it's my first defense after becoming a starter, it will still have some impact on my confidence.

I took the lead and lowered my center of gravity a little. In fact, in the last game against the Rockets, I had a few minutes of confrontation with the glider, but it seemed that he didn't attack me with all his strength at that time. This time I had the opportunity to see it.

Find out his true strength.

I was quite cautious when defending him, because Glider not only has a strong ability to break through and hit the basket, but also has a very stable mid-range pull-up jump shot. Just like Jordan, another shooting guard of his era, they actually

They can be considered to be the same type of players, but Glider does not have the terrifying absolute dominance of the old man on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Therefore, defending the glider is the same as defending Jordan. If I can defend the glider, then it is possible to defend the Flying Majesty. If I can't defend the glider, I will naturally be tortured by Jordan.

Glider was holding the ball outside the three-point line and observing my defensive actions. He seemed to find that my defense didn't seem to have any big holes. I turned sideways to give him a path through which he could break through, with Shaq protecting me behind me.

The basket, so I am not afraid of leaking the bottom line to him. Of course, there is a risk in doing so. I am betting that his starting speed is not particularly fast anymore. I can keep up with his speed after he starts, and then

It can limit his breakthrough speed, and finally use Shaq's help to lock him down completely.

Of course, an experienced glider will not be fooled so easily. Next, he turned his back and prepared to hit me with his feet. His back-up skills were quite superb. The most important thing is that I knew the mid-range jump shot of the glider.

Very accurate, not even inferior to Gang Leader Qiao.

My strength at this time was not strong enough to hold the glider. As I retreated step by step, I seemed to have entered the attack range of the glider. The glider first made a low-level test move, but I did not take advantage of his fake move, but then

This fake move turns into a turnaround and fadeaway jumper.

I had no choice but to continue to block him. I could only pray that he wouldn't make the shot.

It's a pity that the basketball still flew into the basket perfectly. This is probably his real strength. He can make a turn-over jump shot with just a small space, and his backward range is very large, which is normal.

It was difficult to block the shot, not to mention that I thought it was just a fake move and took the shot without thinking.

This is not a particularly good shooting rhythm. Without long-term and hard training, it is difficult to shoot the ball.

So just through this one goal, I can see the hard power of the glider that has been racing on the field for many years.

Although I failed to defend this ball in the end, I was able to force Drexler to attack with such a difficult shot in the first round, so my defense was not useless.

In the next offensive round, I caught the ball at a 45-degree three-point angle. Shaq originally wanted to catch the ball in the low post, but he seemed to have thought of something and actually took the initiative to fight with me.

A high pick-and-roll, the player who used this pick-and-roll to defend Shaq was rotated to the glider Drexler, and the player who defended me was rotated to the big dream Olajuwon.

Shaq then quickly crossed into the Rockets' inside lane. Seeing how fast Shaq was cutting inside, I planned to pass the ball to him early, so I threw the ball inside.

Drexler couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw Shaq's huge size. When he tried to jump up to intercept the pass, Shaq was already in mid-air, with a powerful and heavy shot in the air.

The relay dunk was completed just like that.

The offense this time was quite simple and smooth. We only used a high pick-and-roll tactic to get a good offensive opportunity. It seems that the team tactics we practiced before the game can still come in handy.

In the next offensive round, Drexler no longer served as the team's main offensive point. It seemed that they also discovered that my point was not a defensive weakness, and they turned to the power forward as their main offensive point.

In Sir Barkley's position, the Lakers player he faced was Robert Horry. Horry is not very heavy and still suffers when defending powerful low-post players like Shaq and Barkley.

Barkley's low post singles are very aggressive, and his entire range of movements is very large. Although his height and wingspan are very poor among inside players, because his body is extremely explosive, he can often

He completes offensive actions at an extremely fast speed. Many times, even if someone double-teams him, you will find that he is like a skater's loach. He has successfully completed the attack before your double-team is formed.

Judging from the two goals in the opening game, the Rockets' main method of conduct is still positional warfare. Presumably, the three team bosses have now entered into a tacit understanding of their playing careers, coupled with their own playing styles.

That's it, so the overall pace of the game against this Rockets team should be considered relatively slow.

Sure enough, when Van Exel and I wanted to double-team Barkley, he seemed to have many pairs of eyes, able to know the situation on the court at any time and at any time. Our double-team had just

Halfway through, Barkley used a turn to move into the basket.

The simple thing is that Shaq's attention was relatively concentrated after the game started, and he discovered Barkley's cut along the baseline in time, and appeared in the right defensive position at the right time.

After Barkley entered the penalty area, he found that Shaq's huge belly was really waiting for his arrival, so he could only pass the ball out of the penalty area again.

Maybe it's because Barkley's timing of passing the ball this time was quite good. After attracting the double-team defense of our Lakers outside players, he successfully passed the ball to their outside shooters.

With a bent bow and an arrow, a large two-point ball hit the three-point line, changing the score to 4-2.

We didn't have time to think and summarize the defense of this ball. Shaq quickly threw the ball to me, and after receiving the ball, I dribbled the ball across the half court as soon as possible while looking for the field.

offensive opportunities.

Although the Rockets have a few old arms and legs, their overall defense speed is very fast, showing the tactical quality that a strong team should have. At least when playing against their starting lineup, it is still difficult for me to find ease.

An opportunity for a fast break comes up.

It's not like I had the huge advantage against the substitutes, and I definitely felt more mental pressure after entering the starting lineup, but the fact that I was under pressure on the court was definitely obvious.

After seeing that there was no good opportunity to initiate a fast break, I moved the ball steadily outside the three-point line and waited for my teammates to be fully positioned. However, in fact, if I did not wait for them, I would have some opportunities to go directly.

When it comes to attacking the basket, even though the Rockets retreat very quickly, they can't all retreat that fast. With my speed, I still have a one-on-one or one-on-two opportunity to attack the basket immediately.

But this time I didn't do that. After all, now I have become the tactical starting point among the team's starters. I can't just think about attacking by myself. It would be good if I can connect teammates with outstanding talents.

However, when I had the ball in hand and had to think about organizing the team, I discovered a problem, that is, playing like this is really tiring, mainly because it is more mentally tiring, and the things that need to be considered are the same as simply doing a

It's completely different when holding the ball at the single point or at the end point without the ball.

Of course, now I am actually the player who needs to create advantage points for the team through my personal isolation ability, so this round I am going to play the glider in isolation, and then observe what the Rockets' overall defensive strategy looks like.

I asked my teammates to directly open up the space, and then I was going to beat Drexler in isolation. However, I forgot one thing, that is, Shaq could not open up the space for me, even if Shaq really stood up.

Outside the three-point line, Olajuwon cannot defend Shaq, so it is actually difficult for me to successfully attack the Rockets through breakthroughs.

As for the inside line, of course nothing is guaranteed. As long as my breakthrough speed is fast enough, there may still be some opportunities.

My current post-up skills have not been fully developed, and I do not have the confidence to use my post-up skills to defeat the experienced glider Drexler. However, I have an advantage over him, that is, I am more capable.

Being young has more impact. I believe that as long as I am determined enough to hit the inside, I will have a chance even if the Rockets have Olajuwon in the inside.

Thinking of this, I decisively dribbled the ball from the outside first, and then began to observe Drexler's defensive habits, such as whether he is left-handed or right-handed, which foot is in front and behind when defending, and his

Sideways direction and other details.

All the details on the court can become the key point for you to read the game. As long as you understand what information you need most, of course, when I face more and more opponents in the future, I will have more and more abundant information.

experience to analyze different opponent types.

Sometimes the simplest actions are the most effective. There is indeed some truth to this saying.

I once again used my favorite early change of direction cross step. This technical move left a deep impression on me when I faced Iverson last time. Since then, I have often used it in games.

This simple and practical action.

However, this movement is good for everything, but it is easy to cause excessive wear and tear on the ankles due to overuse. When you are young, you can use more movements that require joint strength. When you get older, you will no longer be able to use it if you want to.

Why did you come out?

At this time, my body was light, my core strength was strong, and my dribbling rhythm changed quickly. The most important point was that later on, I specifically watched videos of Iverson’s previous high school games and secretly learned a few tricks from him.

The change of direction move, the average defensive player in the NBA today cannot guard against my move.

Glider Drexler couldn't resist my forward change of direction. When I pulled the ball from my right hand to my left hand at an extremely fast speed, his entire center of gravity was suddenly pulled by me.

, when he leaned towards my left hand, I changed the ball from behind to my right hand. At this time, there was a big gap in my right hand.

I seized this short gap and rushed directly towards the inside. In fact, the big dream Olajuwon did not react immediately because my movement was very fast and very concealed. Although with his

The defensive awareness can quickly make up for the defense.

Because Drexler, the glider, hit a ball over my head just now, which made me a little unhappy, so I decided to hit the ball back hard in the face.

Originally, the offense could be ended with an underhand layup or a small floater, but I told myself that I must complete it with a hard dunk and give the Rockets a heavy blow.

At this time, there was actually no defensive player in front of me, but I was still several meters away from the basket. I definitely didn't have the ability to jump and dunk directly from close to the free throw line. However, when I sprinted one step further inside, the ball came from

Olajuwon's backup defense has also arrived.

His pace is really amazing, especially among inside players. It's no wonder that he has the record for the most blocks in history. If ordinary people face this situation, they will definitely panic, but I won't, I am Kobe!

Decisively putting one foot on the ground, facing the big dream Olajuwon's block, he hit the basket with the ball.

My whole body was thrown into the sky.

The referee's whistle sounded. In the end, I still failed to dunk. Olajuwon's arm pressed on my arm, preventing me from fully taking off, but just when I was about to land, I hit the ball.

It was thrown towards the backboard.

The ball went in and it was effective. I faced Olajuwon and hit a two-plus-one.

At this moment, the entire Staples was silent for a moment, and then burst into earth-shaking cheers. This momentum was really moving. The most embarrassing thing about the Lakers for me was the scene at Staples Arena.

The fan atmosphere here is the best in the world, and I am willing to repay them with the best skills in the world.

Olajuwon looked at me in disbelief and then looked at the referee, muttering something in his mouth, and then looked at the replay screen on the big screen. The screen clearly showed the slow motion of the entire process. I saw it myself.

I felt a little weird after that. When I was held down by Olajuwon's arm, I felt like I was suffocating. In the end, after I threw the ball, my whole body seemed to be full of anger that had been buried for a long time.

I closed my eyes and threw the ball steadily towards the basket. After the free throw was made, our Lakers team regained the lead to 5-4, and the fierce game between the two sides continued.

In the next few minutes of the first quarter, the Lakers and Rockets launched a fierce offensive battle. It was not because both sides were unwilling to work hard on defense, but because both sides felt surprisingly good on the offensive end today.

It seemed that both goals were scored, whether they should have been scored or not. In fact, the game between the two sides this time was very different from the last time they met.

On our Lakers side, it is naturally because of the change of starting players and some new tactics practiced before the game, which has made some changes to the original relatively monotonous tactics. On the other hand, the Rockets' competitive state came very early today.

After they lost to our Lakers in the last game, they must be planning to come back in this game, so they must have made full preparations before the game.

At least on the court, the entire Rockets team appears to be very flexible. Their tactics are originally relatively simple, because there are three Hall of Fame players in the team. Naturally, many times they will choose to control the stars by trusting their personal abilities.

The progress of the game.

However, today's Rockets are a little different. Their tactics have become more diverse, with both singles and coordination, and the connection between offense and defense is smooth. The tacit understanding between the entire team is quite amazing.

Perhaps it was because the offense of both sides was too smooth and there were not many fouls and free throws. When half of the first quarter passed, the coaches of both sides did not call a timeout, and the game naturally entered the official timeout time.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris was quite satisfied with the team's performance today. Although we were not able to open the score with the Rockets at this time, there was indeed no problem in terms of the smoothness of the offense, which seemed to prove

His tactical system is quite powerful, but when it comes to the defensive end, Harris is still a little discolored. He pointed out that the team can do better on the defensive end, such as blocking every position and grabbing every rebound.

Keep the ball and make every retreat.

Today's Lakers team was much more obedient than usual. Not only did no one say anything to refute what coach Silver Fox Harris said, but they all nodded in agreement, which really surprised me.

If these Lakers teammates can perform like today every time they play, our Lakers may still have great potential to become a top team.

Generally speaking, this timeout corrected the defensive attitude of the players and also made the first adjustment to the lineup. I returned to the bench to rest, and Robert Horry was replaced with me.

I don't quite understand the purpose of Silver Fox Harris's substitution. I can only go to the bench and sit down, and continue to watch the game on the court.

After returning from the timeout, the Rockets also replaced two players, but their Big Three are still on the court. After Eddie Jones came on the court, he became Drexler's key target.

In the last game between the Lakers and the Rockets, Eddie Jones suffered a lot when he was defending Drexler. This time Drexler saw him on the court and immediately began to dominate the Rockets.

In the side's offense, almost every ball has him as the starting point of tactics.

Of course, after all, Drexler's physical fitness is not as good as that of Eddie Jones, who just came on the court. Two consecutive singles did not take advantage of Eddie Jones.

However, Eddie Jones also seemed to have a cold touch after he came back. He actually threw a three-ball ball that was open. I don't know if he felt a little nervous because he was playing as a substitute for the first time.

After the big dream Olajuwon got the rebound, he quickly passed it to the glider who was already on the fast break. The glider quickly lobbed the ball to Barkley, who was already stuck inside the Lakers. The Lakers' new replacement

The power forward was completely unable to hold up Barkley's huge butt. After being pushed several times by him, he was pushed directly from the free throw line to the basket. Before Shaq could come over to defend him, he already hit the basket with a small hook.

At this time, I found that the three old guys from the Rockets not only did not look tired after playing half a quarter, but they seemed to be getting more and more excited as they played, as if they had just warmed up and entered the best physical condition.

However, our Lakers team seems a little tired, especially Shaq. His physical fitness can only sustain a continuous burst of seven or eight minutes. After the initial enthusiasm has passed, we have to give him a ball.

It is still a bit difficult to score a ball inside the Rockets, which is jointly guarded by Olajuwon and Barkley.

Even if Shaq can still play now, he doesn't know why he lost the desire to attack at the beginning. He stood near the free throw line on the offensive end and even stood outside the three-point line later.

Knowing what an offensive threat he can be standing there.

Of course, there is always a trade-off on the basketball court. The culprit behind Shaq's situation must be Olajuwon, the master of interior defense. At this time, Olajuwon should have already shown his special skills. Before

Defending Shaq several times in a row made Shaq feel depressed, as if he was dreaming back to the tragic situation of being swept in the playoffs.

After all, Shaq's mental endurance is really not strong enough. Sometimes he likes to play emotional games, and sometimes he still can't hold his breath when he is deliberately stimulated by his opponents. But when he is excited about playing, he is like a shark. If he is depressed,

If so, it would be a clown fish.

As Shaq's game state declined, the entire Lakers team lacked the necessary offensive strength. Suddenly, the Rockets launched a wave of ten-to-zero attacks in two minutes. When Silver Fox Harris remembered, he shouted:

At the timeout, the Lakers had been ahead by six points by the Rockets.

At this time, there are less than 3 minutes left before the end of the first quarter.
