With a glance from the corner of his eye, Wang Hao immediately spotted the opportunity. Without hesitation, he passed the basketball to the center.

At this time, it was PJ Brown who was running towards him with great strides.

As for O'Neal, it's still a bit late at this point.

The most important thing is that the Sonics' offense and defense transition was too fast, and the Lakers' defense did not notice P.J. Brown at all.

After catching the ball, PJ Brown dunked with both hands and scored, venting his frustration.

If you play against O'Neal, everyone will probably be very depressed!

98:97

We just scored a goal and took the lead, but now, less than 5 seconds later, we were overtaken again.

Watching PJ Brown succeed in dunking, Kobe's eyes suddenly became sharp.

You know, he scored the ball with all his strength.

After scoring the goal, he did not dare to delay for a moment, ran all the way, and finally stopped Wang Hao.

As a result, he tried his best, but some people didn't care!

"Beep!"

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and it was the Lakers who requested a timeout.

You can't do it without a timeout. At the critical moment, every ball is critical.

At this moment, the 48 seconds of game time are exactly two offensive rounds.

Of course, it is impossible to use up 24 seconds for both attacks. Strictly speaking, there should be three more attack opportunities.

The Lakers will definitely control the time and strive for two more opportunities to attack.

In other words, defense in the next round is crucial for the Sonics.

He returned to the bench and took the towel from the staff. He was so annoyed that he threw the towel on the ground.

This scene naturally attracted the attention of other members of the Lakers team, and everyone saw Kobe with an unhappy face.

Everyone understood what was going on, but no one spoke.

In fact, there were already signs of something happening as early as last season.

However, at that time, Kobe still lacked confidence and could only complain.

But this season, things are a little different.

Kobe is more confident, and O'Neal is becoming more and more undisciplined.

Kobe, who used to only complain internally, now has the courage to express his dissatisfaction to the media.

He has said something about O'Neal's free throws and O'Neal's training attitude.

At this moment, this dissatisfaction reached its peak.

In Kobe's view, as long as O'Neal was more diligent, this game would have been over long ago.

Not only because of the retreat just now, but also the free throw.

6 of 15 free throws, this is O'Neal's answer today, with a shooting rate of only 40%.

Against the Lakers, no matter who it is, they will try the shark-killing tactic at some point.

Today is no exception.

However, what Kobe never expected was that his depression had only just begun.

Because in the next tactical arrangement, Phil Jackson still chose O'Neal.

It was Kobe who just scored a goal with force.

To be honest, Kobe almost burst out when he heard that Phil Jackson chose O'Neal.

That is Phil Jackson, Jordan's head coach. If it had been anyone else, Kobe would have fought him.

Fortunately, he was not completely dizzy, at least he did not directly refuse to play like Pippen did.

Kobe cares more about winning, that's the most important thing.

The timeout is over and the game continues.

This time, the SuperSonics also made decisive adjustments and fielded their strongest defensive lineup.

Gary Payton, Wang Hao, Quentin Richardson, and the inside team of P.J. Brown and Ewing.

At this point in the game, the ground must be grinding bit by bit, and there are very few opportunities for direct counterattacks.

At this time, what is more important is the success rate.

For the Sonics, the most important thing is to defend this round, and naturally they need the best defensive lineup.

Not only that, Wang Hao was also arranged to play against Kobe.

The main reason is that Gary Payton is already somewhat lacking in physical fitness, and there were already signs of this in the last round.

There was no way. After all, he was a 34-year-old man who defended Kobe for at least 30 minutes. The physical exertion was definitely exaggerated.

Fisher caught the ball in the backcourt, dribbled the ball across half court, and quickly passed the ball to Kobe.

Looking at that posture, it seems as if what he is holding is not a basketball, but a hot potato.

After Kobe received the ball, he stepped back slightly. He did not rush to attack, but chose to control the time.

With only 15 seconds left in the game, Kobe finally reacted.

At the same time, a huge shadow covered Wang Hao. Needless to say, he knew that it must be O'Neal.

Ewing took the initiative to take half a step back, slipping out of the channel between him and O'Neal, allowing Wang Hao to bypass the pick-and-roll.

To be honest, if it were Wang Hao who had such an opportunity, he would definitely throw it away.

It's a pity that Kobe didn't do this.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Hao is fast enough. If Kobe really wants to take action, he can arrive and interfere.

Kobe didn't choose to shoot, and Kobe broke through easily.

At the same time, O'Neal also began to cut inside. It must be said that he looked somewhat unstoppable.

However, at this point in the game, Ewing also tried his best and clung to O'Neal.

As for Kobe, he was also stopped by Wang Hao.

O'Neal didn't have a good chance, so he had to stay in position on the baseline so that Kobe could pass the ball in.

Kobe didn't waste any time and gave the ball to O'Neal according to the head coach's arrangement.

However, by this time, the Sonics were naturally well prepared.

When Wang Hao passed the ball to Kobe, he ignored him at all and instead double-teamed O'Neal.

As for Kobe, Gary Payton at the top of the arc is already moving towards Kobe, not just him, but the entire rotation.

O'Neal didn't understand, so he didn't choose to pass the ball at all.

Or maybe it was Kobe's actions just now that stimulated him, and he needed to respond.

He suddenly pushed Ewing, the action was so big that he almost crippled the old guy.

It was at this moment that he got the space to take action.

However, Ewing tried his best not to step back, at least not giving O'Neal a chance to dunk.

O'Neal put his hands together with the ball, almost deforming it.

At this time, Wang Hao suddenly appeared and slapped the basketball directly.

To be honest, he had been eyeing this opportunity for a long time and had been waiting for it.

However, Wang Hao did not make the steal as he imagined. O'Neal was holding the ball so powerfully that he was unable to steal it.

O'Neal protected the basketball and took a small hook shot.

However, as soon as he took the shot, O'Neal immediately pushed Ewing away in an attempt to grab the rebound.
Chapter completed!
