The Fifth Point Guard

The fourth quarter is the time for superstars.

The Lakers' offense is definitely split.

O'Neal played after Kobe, and Kobe played after O'Neal.

Occasionally the two get a little tired, and maybe Fisher can get a piece of the pie.

As for Horry and Fox, if there is an occasional opportunity, they must be seized, otherwise what awaits them is a sharp cold stare.

Knowing that the OK combination will exert force in the fourth quarter, the Nets' defensive tactics are very targeted.

Before coming to Los Angeles, Byron Scott worked hard to study how to defend Kobe and O'Neal.

For Kobe, Scott is too familiar.

Kobe's rookie season was Scott's last season with the Lakers.

As the big brother, Scott naturally wants to cover the younger brother.

Although Kobe was often asked to buy donuts, milk tea and other things, Scott taught Kobe unreservedly on and off the court.

Kobe's first point in the NBA came from a free throw, but the guy who passed him before was Scott.

Familiarity with Bryant allowed Scott to show his trump card in the fourth quarter.

As for O'Neal, the shark hacking tactic in the second quarter has proved the effectiveness of this tactic.

O'Neal made a strong attack at the basket.

Before the ball was shot, Collins had already patted the ball neatly with his hands.

After the foul, Collins was very sincere and raised his hand, leaving the angry O'Neal with nowhere to vent.

If possible, O'Neal really wants to squeeze the basketball in his hand.

"when"

The voice of missing a free throw seems to be mocking O'Neill: You can't~~

"when"

Missed two free throws.

Kong has energy but can't use it, this feeling is too uncomfortable.

It was Kobe's turn to attack.

There are two defenders in front of you.

Shentong and Jefferson.

Just like when they played against the Wizards Jordan, the Nets adopted a double-team tactic to block Kobe on the outside.

Of course Kobe doesn't care how many people are defending him in front of him.

With the ball in hand, I have the court!

Facing a two-man defense, Kobe, who was extremely competitive, became even more excited.

Step down, turn around, change direction, a series of dribbling movements are dazzling.

It's a pity that they just can't pass the iron wall surrounded by double teams.

"You can't guard against me." Kobe's mouth was not idle.

"No wonder, Black Bean." Jefferson's words made Kobe almost miss the dribble.

Black beans?

That's right.

Kobe - Black Bean - Bryant.

This is Kobe's full name.

This name is not bad for Kobe, but for old Joe.

The average person Scott wouldn't tell him.

But at this critical juncture, Scott can't care about Kobe's mood.

Time is passing.

Kobe, who was stimulated, chose to force his way!

From Shentong side.

Because there is an obvious "defensive loophole" here again.

Using two-person defense to force Kobe into the non-hot zone, Shen Tong tried his best to block the shot.

Kobe still made a forced shot, very reluctantly.

"when"

The ball was again denied by the basket.

Go for the rebound!

Shentong held the rebound in his arms.

"Just play like this, keep going!" Byron Scott cheered for the players on the sidelines.

O'Neal. Another foul foul.

Collins, Mark Lodge, Aaron Williams, and even Scalabrine were also sent to the field to resolutely implement the shark-killing tactic.

O'Neal's free throws in this game are really out of standard, hovering between 20% and 30%, not even as good as the 50% shooting rate in the previous three games.

O'Neal's free throw caused his game mentality to become unbalanced, and he was even fouled by the cunning Mark Lodge on the offensive end.

For a while, the Lakers were somewhat repulsed to hand the ball to O'Neal, which made O'Neal even more annoyed.

As for Kobe.

The kid was in a very bad mood.

Nouns such as "ferric oxide" and "iron tetroxide" kept coming out of Shentong's mouth.

Kobe, who doesn't understand chemical terms, feels that Shentong's words are like spells from China.

It must be some mysterious oriental spell.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be a blacksmith tonight.

Plus Jefferson stoked the flames from the sidelines.

After "Black Bean", came "Sao Bao".

These cryptic nicknames were only known to a few old Lakers players back then.

Byron Scott is naturally one of them.

Kobe kept trying to prove himself through shots, but unfortunately, he was consciously driven by Shentong to shoot outside the hot zone.

Always can't find the target.

The rim has also been constantly rejecting Bryant's shots.

Sun Zhengping: "Today, the performance of the entire Lakers team seems to be a little abnormal, especially O'Neal and Kobe, who were in the limelight in the first three games, have only scored 22 points and 16 points in this game so far, both of which are below the average level."

Zhang Weiping nodded and said: "That's right. Let's see, O'Neal walked to the free throw line 18 times and only made 4 free throws, while Kobe made 7 of 21 shots. It is obvious that both of them are out of shape. But let's look at it from the other side. Scott's tactics in this game are very reasonable. The attack on Shaquille O'Neal and the double-team against Kobe greatly limited the play of the OK combination."

On the court, Kobe used Fox's pick-and-roll to find an opportunity and made a jumper.

In order to block the ball, Shen Tong almost threw himself at it, but was unable to catch it due to inertia, and fell directly off the court.

Perhaps it was influenced by Shentong, or the feeling was gone at the moment, Kobe did not seize this opportunity and continued to be blocked in the fourth quarter.

Sun Zhengping: "Hey, Shen Tong has put his life to the test today. I don't know what happened when he fell. I hope he won't get hurt."

Zhang Weiping said: "The Nets have already led by 15 points, and there are less than 3 minutes left in the game. Shentong is still working so hard. This kind of iron-blooded spirit is moving, and it is also the spirit that is very lacking in the current professional athletes. quality."

Shen Tong, who fell into the crowd on the sidelines, got up.

Huh?

This soft lump.

Squeeze.

Feel good.

There seems to be a "poof, poof".

stand up.

A good-looking white woman looked at Shentong with an angry face.

The latex pad on the chest was exposed due to misalignment.

"Ah, I didn't care!"

Shen Tong quickly turned around and returned to the court with the cannon on his back.

Sun Zhengping: "Because of defending with all his strength, Shen Tong's face has turned red."

Zhang Weiping: "It was really hard. After I fell out, I almost ran back to the court."

The game enters garbage time.

The Lakers began to replace the main players and gave up the game.

The Nets also made substitutions.

Sun Zhengping spoke passionately: "Two minutes before the end of the game, the score difference was 17 points. It should be said that basically, the overall situation has been decided!"

Shentong is even more excited.

Kobe was replaced with 18 points.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe, with the help of Shen Tong and Jefferson's double-teaming, verbal harassment and props, only relied on free throws to score 2 points, and scored no goals in sports games.

Clenching his fists, Shen Tong raised his hands high.

Incredible!

I did it!

The Nets embraced each other on the bench, celebrating a big road victory over the defending champions.

The significance of this victory to the Nets is absolutely extraordinary.

It strengthened the Nets' determination this season and set the tone for the new season.

"Hey, little stick!"

“Chinese Cuisine!”

"sick man!"

Shen Tong, who was resting on the bench, heard a harsh voice.

Looking back, Shen Tong stood up.

Then an unbelievable move was made.
