For those who didn’t know, I thought he was really a fan of Wang Hao.

In fact, Kenny Smith can also change his gambling method like Barkley, or if it doesn't work, he can cheat.

However, as a more professional commentator, Kenny Smith certainly cannot do this.

Barkley is shameless, O'Neal makes money.

This does attract a lot of fans, but not everyone likes it.

O'Neal and Barkley gained a lot of popularity because of this, so why is Smith the Big Three?

Just because he is more able to control the rhythm.

He knows when to let Barkley talk and when to let O'Neal make money.

What he needs to do is control the rhythm of the entire court, just like he once did as a point guard.

Kenny Smith agreed to Barkley's bet, not because he believed in Wang Hao, nor because he was sure of winning.

It's just because he thinks this topic is almost over.

Next, the TV station needs to broadcast advertisements, and after the advertisements comes the next game.

The second half of the game is about to begin, and players from both sides have already appeared in the player tunnel.

What adjustments did the Lakers make in the second half? What solutions did Phil Jackson have to solve the problem?

All the TV broadcasts are talking about this topic.

Wang Hao didn't know either. In fact, the entire Sonics team didn't really care.

Instead of focusing on what your opponents are doing, focus on your own problems.

As long as Sonics follows the established rhythm, nothing will be a problem.

"Beep!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, the second half of the game began, and another round of competition between the two sides officially began.

In the Sonics' offensive possession, Gary Payton faced Lynch Hunter with the ball and suddenly broke through to his right side.

Lynch Hunter did not dare to be careless and quickly followed.

However, as soon as he took a step forward, he suddenly bumped into someone.

Lynch Hunter almost fell to the ground. This incident really caught him off guard.

He didn't even notice the pick-and-roll, let alone the fact that it was Wang Hao's pick-and-roll.

And at that moment, Gary Payton had already gained space to break through, and then quickly broke into the paint.

Kobe had no choice but to keep up with Gary.

As for Wang Hao, at this time, it is naturally left to Lynch Hunter. It does not mean that he can defend him, but at least he must not lose his position.

Unfortunately, the confrontation just now prevented Lynch Hunter from catching up with Wang Hao immediately.

At this time, Wang Hao had quickly pulled away to the other side.

It has to be said that Kobe was very fast. Even if Gary Payton got a breakthrough, he was caught up by him.

However, at this moment, Gary Payton suddenly jumped up and threw the ball away.

The direction of the ball was clearly towards Wang Hao.

Without any delay, Wang Hao, who was outside the three-point line, quickly chose to take action after receiving the ball.

Lynch Hunter arrived a step late. Even if he stretched his body as much as possible, he still couldn't interfere with Wang Hao.

"Whoa!"

For Wang Hao, this level of defense is no different from normal training.

Hitting a three-pointer, the SuperSonics continued to widen the point difference.

The 16-point difference undoubtedly made Lakers fans a little desperate. The team was on the verge of losing.

Equally desperate is Charles Barkley.

What do you mean, the game has just started and Wang Hao’s personal score has already caught up with Kobe?

It's okay if he loses the bet, but the problem is that he has already resorted to cheating and still loses, so that's a problem.

Everyone is a face-saving person, so does he have no face?

Kenny Smith was very happy: "How is it? Charles, I told you not to underestimate the king."

Charles glanced at Kenny Smith speechlessly, with great disdain. As an old buddy, who doesn’t know who he is?

When they were still playing in the league, the Rockets had many battles with the SuperSonics.

As Gary Payton's opponent, Kenny Smith has been tortured a lot. This guy is not very friendly to Gary Payton.

"Kenny, it's too early!"

Charles Barkley is really helpless. He thinks the Lakers will win, but now the Lakers are in a very bad situation.

He bet that Kobe could score higher. Now it seems a little difficult!

It’s very frustrating to lose no matter what!

The Lakers players naturally know that the current situation is very bad and they will lose if they are not careful.

The Lakers did not dare to be careless and quickly cheered up, especially O'Neal, who did not want to lose.

No, after returning to the inside this time, he stuck to his position. Just as P.J. Brown tried to move forward, the Lakers' pass caught up with him.

According to Phil Jackson's arrangement, in order to pass the ball to O'Neal, Lynch Hunter directly chose to pass the ball.

Not to mention, the effect is very good.

O'Neal's body is so thick that even if PJ Brown presses against him with all his strength, there is still a big gap.

Coupled with O'Neal's jumping ability, it is easy to catch the ball in this situation.

Moreover, once you receive the ball, you have to face the basket directly, and it is not easy to score.

Without even giving Wang Hao a chance to double-team, O'Neal dunked with both hands, looking like he was about to pull the basket off.

"Come on, come on again!"

O'Neal looked up to the sky and roared, looking like he was about to climb onto the Empire State Building.

However, before he could finish venting, Supersonic had already counterattacked as fast as possible.

O'Neal's face turned dark. He hates this kind of thing the most. He has played a wonderful ball, but he hasn't even vented it yet, and he has to go back to defense again!

Fortunately, this time, O'Neal worked hard to help defend and jumped to the outside in time to prevent Lewis's mid-range jumper.

Not to mention, it is really not easy to have such a big lump of meat coming towards your face and such pressure.

This successful defense seemed to allow the Lakers to see another opportunity and get closer to the score.

It's still the same old method, give the ball to O'Neal.

However, PJ Brown made adjustments in time and did not continue to let go. Instead, he continued to pester.

However, the huge power gap between the two sides made PJ Brown's entanglement less effective.

More, it still depends on the assistance of other people in defense.

This time, Lynch Hunter did not control the ball again, but immediately handed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe's threat is enough to deter the Sonics from double-teaming.

Of course, the premise is that Kobe is willing to pass the ball, and O'Neal is also willing to pass the ball when encountering double teams.

Obviously, in the first half, neither of them did a very good job in this regard.

Phil Jackson focused on solving this problem during the halftime break, and Kobe naturally did not dare to compete.

He gave the ball to O'Neal immediately, and O'Neal was observing and looking for opportunities.

Gary Payton wasn't polite either. He immediately pounced on him when he found the right moment, double-teaming him first and then moving on.

If it was the first half of the game, there would be nothing to say, O'Neal would definitely do it by himself.

It's just that Phil Jackson calmed down during halftime and didn't just think about playing on his own.

"Believe in your teammates and give the ball to your teammates. Only if they are a threat enough can you get a chance."

Even Jordan, with the persuasion of Phil Jackson, could give up the ball, let alone O'Neal.

In fact, as an insider, O'Neal is not obsessed with the ball. What he needs is the finishing power.

Since I'm being double-teamed and have no chance, wouldn't it be great to hand over the ball?

Without much delay, O'Neal immediately threw the ball to Kobe.

However, before Kobe could make a move, a figure had already rushed over and appeared in front of Kobe.

That's right, it's Wang Hao.

In addition to being extremely oppressive, the Sonics' defense is also about its rapid rotation.
