151: What humans cannot do, demigods can do(3/6)
Only Kobe was beaten from beginning to end.
Kobe finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran very aggressively on the offensive end in the next round.
The credit paid off, Kobe got rid of Carter with a beautiful reverse run and cut inside.
Harper also saw this opportunity and passed the ball in without hesitation.
After Kobe received the basketball, he took two big steps and dunked!
However, after jumping up, Kobe discovered that Li Ang had already rushed to the basket and formed an encirclement with Oakley.
Everyone in the league knows that when Leon and Oakley jump to defend at the same time, what you will face is not as simple as being fouled.
If your elbow doesn't have eyes, you won't be able to tell whether it will drop a ball or a tooth.
Kobe swallowed in the air and thought about dunking the ball in and running away.
As a result, he panicked and actually dunked the ball on the basket!
"Ah? The former dunk king actually dunked the ball!"
The local commentators in Toronto adjusted their glasses. Is it okay to dunk with an empty basket? This is simply a single-handedly lowering the value of the dunk king.
After Kobe landed, he habitually yelled at the referee: "It's a rule!"
The referee didn't even bother to pick up the whistle. If you say that Leon and Oakley just touched you, even if it was just a slight touch, you would be forgiven for calling a foul.
Can......
The two of them are not even close to you, so it's just an air foul?
All conscience, this time Leon and Oakley really didn't do anything to Kobe.
Kobe dunked the ball. It can only be said that this was the defensive deterrence of Li Ang and Oakley in the penalty area.
This wave, this wave Li Ang used one of the three threats to his opponents on the defensive end.
Except for people like O'Neal, who can't enter the Raptors penalty area without weighing their own merits?
Kobe dunked, and Carter got the pop-up basketball and succeeded in a fast-break back dunk, helping the Raptors expand their advantage.
As Kobe watched Carter easily finish dunking on his back, he realized that Carter was even more annoying than Leon!
Just now, he hit me in the face with a shot in exactly the same way, and then hit me in the face with a back dunk.
So dark, so poisonous!
Damn, in the official competition, even if you deduct the flower, you only get 2 points. Why do you deduct so beautifully?
Can't you just keep a low profile?
I just dunked you back. Are you polite?
At this point in the game, Li Ang realized that he might not lose in today's game.
Although Li Ang doesn't know the reason, the cauliflower snake is indeed in bad condition today!
Whether you are a superstar or a role player, there are times when you are in peak form and when you are in slump.
There are 82 regular season games in a season, and it is absolutely impossible to perform so well in every game.
There are times when you fail even when trying to grab the first floor, let alone playing a game.
There is often no specific reason for whether this state is good or bad.
Sometimes a bad state is just a bad state, and there are not so many reasons why.
Kobe's state is very problematic today. His defense is not good, his shooting is poor, and he can dunk even empty baskets.
If I keep playing, I'm afraid I won't even be able to score a layup, and I'll lose my face!
With Kobe's state today, as long as he can restrain that shark, the game can still be played.
As for ways to restrict him...
O'Neal, danger!
In the next few rounds, Kobe broke the scoring drought and even stole Carter on the defensive end.
But overall, performance is still not as good as expected.
O'Neal, on the other hand, gets everything he wants in the three-second zone.
I thought today would be another easy day to win, but in the eighth minute of the first quarter, when Shaq once again caught the basketball under the basket and turned around for a layup, his head was slapped loudly.
.
After O'Neal was hit on the head, the ball naturally failed to go in.
The referee immediately blew the whistle, and O'Neal clenched his fists and turned around suddenly.
"Who the hell..." Before Shaq could finish his words, he suddenly fell silent when he saw the person in front of him.
"It's me, I accidentally photographed it. I'm sorry." Li Ang looked directly at O'Neal and raised his hand.
Although he said he was sorry, his aura seemed to be threatening: "I was the one who hit you, what happened?"
When I, Li Ang, hit people, I always pay attention to being righteous and confident, even if I don't do it righteously.
The giant beast, which was almost angry just now, could only cover its head pitifully, like a bullied fool.
"yes
Brother Yunlong? That's okay. Why are you saying sorry? We all know each other so well." The survival code was clearly played by Shaq.
O'Neal was speechless and felt very unhappy after his head was hit in pain.
But if we really have a confrontation with Li Ang, I'm afraid it will be even more painful in the aftermath...
Forget it, it's not particularly heavy-handed anyway.
Just be patient, next time, next time if he dares again, I won't be polite!
Standing on the free throw line, O'Neal missed two free throws very well and lived up to the Raptors' expectations of him.
The Lakers' pursuit of points was interrupted again. Before that, Jackson said that the Raptors' lead could only last five minutes.
But now, the Raptors have been leading for almost a quarter!
Carter was on full fire today, and Li Ang could occasionally steal a few from the mid-range.
In the past, with a beast like O'Neal guarding the penalty area, Li Ang would have been unable to score.
But now, in the words of Director Zhang: "Hey, this Li Ang really dares to shoot now that he has a chance. He really dares to shoot and he really dares to score!"
In the end, O'Neal scored 12 points in a single quarter, but the Lakers still trailed 25-28.
After the first quarter, the first thing Wilkens said when he walked up to the players was: "Lee, please increase your intensity!"
"Intensify efforts? Increase CIC?"
"CIC? No, no, no, I mean, increase the intensity of blocking shots!"
Wilkens was very satisfied with Leon's timely foul just now. He just wanted to force O'Neal to take a free throw. This was the only way to guard against this monster.
After the start of the second quarter, as Kobe's condition recovered slightly, the Lakers gradually took the lead.
But Carter remained strong. After being blocked by Kobe in the mid-range several times, he began to attack the basket crazily again and again, challenging O'Neal head-on.
The result is obvious. Carter was knocked to the ground again and again by O'Neal, and fell heavily again and again.
Shaq will never allow any defender to challenge him easily, and Carter is almost carrying out a suicidal attack.
Is Carter stupid?
Although he has a weak emotional intelligence, he is not stupid.
Carter certainly knew that this giant beast was not easy to deal with, and the possibility of dunking him head-on was infinitely close to zero.
But as Carter was overthrown again and again, O'Neal's foul count also accumulated.
Five minutes before the end of the half, Carter once again hit the basket and was knocked down by O'Neal.
At this time, O'Neal has accumulated three fouls!
In order to protect Shaq, Jackson had to substitute him early.
Logically speaking, Jackson should have taken down O'Neal when he committed two offenses.
But he took a gamble, not on whether there were bullets in the gun, but on whether Carter would dare to continue to challenge O'Neal resolutely.
As a result, Carter's determination today was unexpected.
Carter lay on the ground, watching O'Neal walking off the court, and instantly felt that all the pain was worth it.
To be honest, not everyone dares to challenge O'Neal like this, not even the usual Carter.
But today, in the first game of his comeback, Carter's desire for victory is far greater than before.
Everyone says that after McGrady leaves, the Raptors' strength will decline significantly.
Then Carter will have to beat a real super team to prove how ridiculous that statement is!
After O'Neal left the game, Cobra Grant took over at the five position, and Robert Horry replaced O'Neal at the four position.
