Chapter 758: Killing the Shark

How is Kobe's physical strength?

Stackhouse, who was consumed to death by him in a three-hour duel, had the most say.

Eddie Jones doesn't have that kind of personal experience, so he still can't feel the terror of Kobe's hidden greatest talent.

Yes, it is the strongest talent.

At least in Xu Ang's opinion, the strongest thing about Kobe's talent is not his jumping, nor his staying in the air, nor anything else, but his ability to recover quickly. This ability is the most powerful among Kobe's many talents. Strong.

Just imagine, if there is no ability to recover quickly, the body cannot recover in a very short time after fatigue. If he practices like Kobe like crazy, his body will be destroyed before he can practice it.

Why did O'Neal have a conflict with Kobe, which led to the shark traveling eastward?

The big reason is that Kobe can't stand O'Neal's training attitude and thinks O'Neal is too lazy. But Kobe didn't want to think about it. Not everyone has a body that can recover quickly like him. With O'Neal's weight, if he followed Kobe's training methods, he would be in a wheelchair within a few years.

Thinking about Dayao, it was not because he did not get enough rest that his body could not recover, so he had to say goodbye to the game with regret.

Take a look at how old Yao was when he retired, and look at the players of the same period as Dayao. Some of them were still playing in the NBA several years after he retired, and you can understand why Xu Ang thinks so.

Kobe's defense is at a level that makes even Jordan feel uncomfortable. This is still his first year in the league, and his potential has not yet been unleashed.

This is true for Jordan, not to mention Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones felt very uncomfortable being entangled like this with Kobe. As a last resort, Eddie Jones could only pass the ball.

But Xu Ang had already guarded against him, stretched out his long arms on the passing route of Eddie Jones, and successfully intercepted the ball.

Then Xu Ang launched a fast break and scored two more points with a dunk.

The Lakers, who lost another goal, were a little anxious, especially O'Neal. This guy came holding his breath and wanted to regain the field, but he didn't want the game to start poorly.

If the fight continues as it is now, needless to say, it will be another defeat.

If you lose two games to your opponent at the beginning of a series, you are likely to collapse and be taken away by your opponent in a wave. O'Neal didn't allow that to happen, yelling at Eddie Jones, "Give me the ball and I'll smash it into the damn basket."

As long as he stands under the basket, O'Neal thinks he is invincible.

No opponent can stop the angry Sharks from scoring at the basket, not Malone, not Olajuwon, let alone Big Ben.

Oh, by the way, the Clippers also have Barkley. That guy is very annoying, but O'Neal doesn't dislike him.

Isn’t it just that he has a big butt? The butt is amazing. Uncle O’Neal’s hips are definitely better than yours.

O'Neal took over the tough job, and others couldn't ask for it.

It's not that the Lakers players have no fighting spirit, it's that their opponents are difficult to deal with. Except for O'Neal, the Lakers players have no advantage when facing off against their opponents, and are even at a disadvantage.

It is obvious that our Lakers are the darlings of Los Angeles, it is obvious that our Lakers are a strong team in the league, and we are more likely to be champions with O'Neal, but why are we always at a disadvantage when playing against the Clippers?

The Lakers players couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, they don't need to use their brains, something they are not good at. They have a low-post killer like O'Neal in their team. When they encounter a difficult bone, they don't have to do anything else. They only need to pass the ball to O'Neal. .

They have been doing this since O'Neal joined the Lakers, and it has always been effective. They believe this time will be no exception.

As a result, Eddie Jones risked being intercepted by Xu Ang again and successfully passed the ball to O'Neal.

After receiving the ball, O'Neal was about to exert his strength when he felt his hand being tapped, and then the referee's whistle sounded.

Defensive foul committed by the defending team.

Ben sent O'Neal to the free throw line with a foul.

"What a low-level mistake."

"Being undrafted means being undrafted. It seems that facing a league superstar like O'Neal makes Ben very nervous. Maybe the Lakers can make a fuss about this and use Ben as a breakthrough."

The commentators were nagging, and they thought that Ben's foul was not intentional, but just a problem with his mentality and ability.

Not only them, but the Lakers players who were watching O'Neal go to the free throw line at this moment also thought so, so much so that Eddie Jones and the others ignored O'Neal's depressed expression.

&nbFor players, it's all about scoring points, but for a muscular man like O'Neal, whose wrists are stiff due to too much strength and can't practice shooting with one hand, it's not a pleasant experience.

One penalty.

Didn't make it.

Two penalties.

The basketball hit the frame and flew out, falling right into Xu Ang's hands.

Xu Ang was very happy to pick up a ball for nothing. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, Xu Ang would have said thank you to O'Neal: "Thank you, old man, for the gift."

O'Neal, who missed two free throws, shook his hand. He knew he couldn't make the free throw.

At this time, he did not realize the seriousness of the problem. It was not until Xu Ang scored another three-pointer that Bill Fitch took the opportunity to replace the patron saint of the water dispenser and pulled him to teach him the instructions when the opponent came on the court. After seeing Bill Fitch pointing his finger at him and the Clippers substitute whom he had no memory of staring at him with strange eyes, O'Neal had a bad feeling in his heart.

It's a pity that there are only

Premonitions are useless. You have no way to solve the problem. Even if you have a premonition, it is of no use.

The Clippers players were waiting for work. After the Lakers players ran half the court and settled in their own half, before Eddie Jones could pass the ball to O'Neal, the Clippers player who came on the bench enthusiastically passed the ball to O'Neal. A hug from O'Neal.

"Du~~~!"

The referee blows the whistle and the defending player commits a foul.

O'Neal was sent to the free throw line again.

This time he scored a free throw.

However, an offensive opportunity that could obviously score two points only resulted in one point, and then in the next offense of the Clippers, Kobe Bryant colored Eddie Jones and scored two points.

There was a two-point difference between entry and exit, and the Lakers were obviously losing money.

Not to mention earning a foul, is an offensive opportunity in the playoffs comparable to a foul by a water cooler patron saint who has little playing time and can't make much contribution to the team even if he does play?

The answer is obvious, no.

The shark-cutting tactic finally came out. O'Neal's hard life started today, starting from this game.

In the past, everyone knew that players like him had no basket, but no one could have the shame to use the shark-cutting tactic. Now that someone has taken the initiative, other coaches will definitely follow.

The tone of the next game was basically set. The Lakers were tortured to death by the shark-cutting tactics, but because O'Neal's free throw shooting rate could not break the game, they were completely led straight away.

Therefore, it became inevitable for the Lakers to lose.
