章節 31: BAB 31

TNT Sports' live national broadcast invites superstar-level commentary. Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Dr. J. Julius Owen

The performance of the three of them was good, and TNT's management also set the three of them to be the focus of the battle.

The names New York and Los Angeles alone can attract a lot of attention, not to mention there are many other things to pay attention to.

There was still some time before the game started, and the shots had already been cut to the studio, and the three big names had begun to analyze the situation.

"Cough cough cough! I was still on the pitch on the last national broadcast, and now I'm sitting in the studio and I always feel like my tie is a little tight.", Magic Johnson cleared his throat and straightened his tie.

"You now look like Shaquille O'Neal's cousin!", Larry Bird hurt his rival and best friend.

"Los Angeles has a lot to eat, and getting fatter is normal.", Many viewers liked Dr. J Julius Owen.

"Please don't be prejudiced against overweight people like me. Without this chubby body, I don't think Shaq would score 30 points and fifteen rebounds per game.

After coming to Los Angeles, Shark dominance is still the same. The most important thing was that he was very happy now. The whole of Los Angeles has given him great respect. This was something he couldn't get in Orlando. ", Regarding the Los Angeles Lakers situation, Magic Johnson is the one who knows best.

"Shaq's performance is truly worthy of all that Los Angeles has given him, but he still has a long way to go if he is to become a Los Angeles Lakers totem."

Dr. J Julius Owen is like a real host.

"Oh no! Dr. J, your cold jokes are more effective than air conditioning!

But when we talk about characters like totems, we have to talk about Patrick Ewing. He has averaged over 20 points per game for eleven straight years. This is truly a great achievement. ", Larry Bird took the topic back from the size of the game.

"With these two super centers, the game is sure to be very tense. These seven feet tall players are huddled in a three second zone, and they can trigger something different.", As commentator, Magic Johnson does a lot of work.

"From what I know about Delmar Harris and Jeff Van Gundy, they will definitely let their main players play for forty minutes.

Today's audience is blessed, and the players they like will surely be exhausted. ", Dr J also commented

Delmar Harris and Jeff Van Gundy are famous old school coaches. They often let the main players fill the game. Currently, there is no weight management in the NBA, much less two games and a break. Superstar.

The best play deserves the best cross talk, and the players on the pitch are just as excited as the crowd.

A large number of spectators successively arrived at Madison Square Garden, and the arena became noisy, Wang Dazhi and Kobe both lowered their heads to listen to the news from the assistant coach.

"Odin, Kobe, come here!", Assistant coach Larry Drew who came out of the locker room greeted Michael Udin and Kobe.

"Today you will get a chance to play in the middle of the first quarter. You both have to be ready.

This will be a tough battle. Mr. Jerry is here. Management attaches great importance to today's result and wishes you a good performance. "

Such focused play will naturally attract management's attention, and the outcome of this game can set the tone throughout the season.

"Does not matter!" Kobe and Michael Udin answered in unison.

For such an arrangement, Michael Udin and Kobe had actually guessed the general idea, but after speaking from assistant coach Larry Drew, the two brothers were very excited.

At the start of the match, the New York Knicks, who played at home, were eager to win three consecutive wins at Madison Square Garden.

The New York Knicks are led by center Patrick Ewing and shooting guard Alan Houston, iron-blooded bandits Charles Oakley and Larry Johnson as strikers, and longtime Chinese acquaintance Charlie Ward is point guard. .

Just these few names made Michael Udin feel depressed. The New York Knicks were one of the most iron-blooded teams of the nineties.

Although Michael Udin couldn't remember the specific outcome of this game, he only knew by analysis that Shaquille O'Neal had a hard time today.

The Los Angeles Lakers still retain their first two starting lineups, Shaquille O'Neal, Elden Campbell, Cedric Ceballos, Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel.

Before the match, Shark O'Neal and Patrick Ewing greeted each other, but everyone knew that no matter how friendly they were off the pitch, they would be a full-fledged fight!

Sure enough, from the first offensive round of the game, it was full of gunpowder. The young and strong Shark O'Neal beat Patrick Ewing to win the jump ball, and then he sank to the low post and asked for the ball to play singles!

After all, Patrick Ewing's strength was slightly lower. Shark O'Neal gets into the basket with his supernatural powers. After all, according to the first two games, this ball is a furious dunk!

But Charles Oakley came in and cut the ball open from Shaquille O'Neal!

The three referees had a tacit understanding and they didn't blow the whistle. If that were NBA rules twenty years later, the referees would be waiting for him to punish him.

Shark O'Neill frowned and looked at the referee with a grin, but the referee ignored the fat man who was harmed.

In the first half, the new Lakers boss, who was in full swing, still couldn't score points, and the New York Knicks fans cheered loudly!

The New York Knicks were offensive, after a few passes, Alan Houston and Eddie Jones formed a one-on-one single.

Alan Houston pretended to dribble through. Eddie Jones is by no means a rookie. He is well aware of Alan Houston's CIC skills and relentless shooting strategy that his opponents don't get a chance to get off the line in the first time.

The fake action didn't work, Alan Houston turned into a back dribble, and Eddie Jones was thrown with a sudden force off his back.

In this half-step space, Alan Houston turns and jumps all at once. Madison Square Garden's basket was no stranger to him, and he scored two points against Eddie Jones' empty defensive basket!

Eddie Jones is actually a good player with a balanced offensive and defensive balance. First round show No. 10 in 1994 was in a period of rapid growth. In his original time and space, he pressed Kobe in the same position for a long time. long.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers' opening offense and defense were underwhelming, coach Delmar Harris had long been preparing to face these difficulties.

This lineup is to play Shaquille O'Neal on the inside, Eddie Jones on the outside, Shaquille O'Neal again on the singles, this time the three big New Yorkers teamed up!

Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, Larry Johnson, these three people can pull one person at random to lift the sky in the three second zone!

Surrounded by these three people, even the arrogant big shark O'Neal was a little helpless, so he started to put the basket in the basket!, but the result was difficult to get the ball hit

Patrick Ewing jumps up to the board with one hand and takes the ball into his arms!

Shaquille O'Neal slapped his hand in regret and quickly retreated.

After Charlie Ward received the ball, he dribbled through the half. Patrick Ewing in the opening game was very defensive, but his offensive desire today has not been stimulated.

Alan Houston made three threats but Eddie Jones kept a close eye on his movement and kept out his mid-range shot!

Alan Houston made a decisive breakthrough!

Alan Houston began to accelerate, but also only half of the body of Eddie Jones.

Alan Houston is the type of athlete who likes to hit the ball in fast breaks, but Eddie Jones has used all his best defense so Alan Houston can't find space to shoot.

Alan Houston could only be forced to pass the ball. Larry Johnson defends against Cedric Ceballos after receiving the ball, dribbles and clears it into the basket, keeping Cedric from doing an easy layup!

In fact, Charles Oakley and Larry Johnson both debuted as power forwards, but when they play together, it is a nightmare for opposing small forwards. Even if a dunk king like Cyclic Ceballos, he faced Larry Johnson, the talented champion, had been nothing but crushed.

After being hit four to zero, the Madison Square Garden fans also screamed, but the Los Angeles Lakers players didn't budge and still played the ball one step at a time.

Three insiders from the New York Knicks attack on Shark O'Neal caused a big hurdle, and Shark O'Neal's small hook again didn't work.

The team coached by Jeff Van Gundy is based on defense. The overall Knicks defense is very strong. Whether it's suppleness or continuity, it greatly contributes to the Los Angeles Lakers' encroachment.

In terms of general flexibility, Patrick Ewing is a great center who can expand defense on the inside.

In response to a New York Knicks foul, the Lakers tried their best to get Alan Houston, who was feeling good, to reduce the ball, but Cedric Ceballos had no way.

Prior to the first timeout, the Los Angeles Lakers fell into extreme passivity. Shark O'Neal, who was 2 from 6 shots, has not been able to carry the offensive banner. Cedric Ceballos' defensive end has become a defensive black hole.

If it weren't for Eddie Jones hitting the three-pointer, the whole scene would have been even worse.

The Lakers are currently eight points behind, 7-15.

"Kobe replaces Nick and Odin replaces Cedric. If you and Eddie have the guts to shoot long range, you have to make room for Shakra, otherwise the living room is too cramped!"

Delmar Harris puts the crux of the matter in one word, and Shaquille O'Neal really needs his team-mates to stand up, otherwise he'll be too pressured to play.

Kobe replaced Nick Van Exel and Michael Udin was chosen in the first round No. 24 pick that should have belonged to Derek Fisher, Kobe would have featured more in the organization. Point guard position.

Nick Van Exel is actually a capable point guard, but if the team's standards are raised to a higher level, his abilities will become a team shortage. Nick Van Exel puts Kobe on top. Not to let him organize attacks, he just needs to play good dribbles.

Since most of the team's possession should be handled by Sharks O'Neal, Delmar Harris isn't going to force Kobe to deliberately set up attacks, let alone suppress his offensive nature.

"I've only been retiring for a few months, and the Lakers have changed drastically.

Shaquille O'Neal became the new owner of Los Angeles, and the two rookies this year also put pressure on their competitors and became the main rotation.

I think coach Delmar Harris' tactical intentions are good, depending on whether Kobe and Michael Udin can provide some offensive weapons to share Shaq's burden."

Watching Michael Udin and Kobe play at this time, Magic Johnson was full of emotion.

"Charles Oakley guy likes to bully rookies the most. It would be terrible if Michael Udin confronted him, but I really love watching scenes like that, haha!"

Dr. J. can't wait to see what Charles Oakley can do.

"Charles Oakley only entered the league in the years when I was in good shape, and he played thug for Michael Jordan during the Bulls period.

This kid had a problem with me, but it became one of the things he regretted the most in his life. "

Larry Bird never brags on purpose, he just states the facts.

Charles Oakley, who made the statement, did not disappoint everyone, he looked at Michael Udin who had just appeared on the scene as if he was on the second floor of the bathing center at the construction site.

The Los Angeles Lakers served and Michael Udin didn't hit the catcher at all, but Charles Oakley was still able to hit Michael Udin!

Michael Udin was sick, he wasn't the type to swallow his breath. It is not Michael Udin's motto that a man must take revenge for ten years. He advocated revenge on the spot.

Michael Udin ran to the basket, and Charles Oakley still bothered him with a small movement, Michael Udin pointed his elbow into the man's chest.

"Did you ever know who I am?", Charles said to Michael Udin angrily.
