    In the last round, O'Neal defended like this, and Garnett thought it was an accident.

    It¡¯s O¡¯Neal!  How can a super center do the dirty work of assisting and making up defense?

    It¡¯s okay to help defend and make up defense. There is no problem in defending and making up defense when guarding the basket.

    But this is mid-range contraction + expansion assist defense. This is the job of power forwards and small forwards. Garnett felt that O'Neal would definitely not be able to do this. It must have been an accident just now.

    But in the second round, the defensive cooperation between O'Neal and Zhang Hao required no training or discussion, it just fit so well

    Garnett feels like he has ruined his team¡¯s logo!

    He avoided O'Neal because he was unwilling to play center. When O'Neal played against the Timberwolves, he actually chose to play power forward Garnett felt like he was being targeted!

    In fact, O'Neal is also helpless. In the past, Horace Grant helped him with defense. Now, he is needed to help another "center" with defense in the mid-range!

    But now that it¡¯s like this, O¡¯Neal can¡¯t do anything. With such a teammate, what else can he do?

    Fortunately, he lost weight. It took him nearly three weeks to regain control of his weight between 131-133 kilograms. He became the Magic's super center again with running and jumping ability comparable to that of a small forward!

    Otherwise, when the start when I first returned, this defense would not be really done.

    In short, after slacking off for half a season, O'Neal is ready to start playing seriously after the All-Star weekend.

    The reason He was super unhappy about not being selected as the All-Star starter. He wanted to compete for the best lineup!

    There are two competing targets, one is Olajuwon and the other is Ewing.

    Although both of them are not as efficient as him, they are both very healthy. He has advantages in statistics and dominance, but not much. Olajuwon has recovered and Ewing has played since 89-89 after losing weight.  The best efficiency since being selected for the first team in the 1990 season. After competing for so many years, O'Neal knew that based on his current number of appearances + data + total performance, he could not compete with these two people. He could only compete with those who missed 10 games due to injury in the same half-season.  Mourning competes in three formations.

    But he is not willing to give in!  Both of them were selected as All-Star starters, and he wanted to compete with these two for the best lineup.

    ? Then you have to work hard.

    At this time, he rarely thought about reciprocating a favor. Zhang Hao accommodated him on the offensive end, so he could only accommodate Zhang Hao on the defensive end.

    Fortunately, although it is a helpless move, the cooperation effect is not bad.

    The three wolves are extremely compatible, but both Garnett and Marbury are still young, one is 20 years old and the other is 19 years old. O'Neal took the initiative to change the defensive method and cooperated with Zhang Hao to have a way to defend the opponent!

    In addition, O'Neal changed his style of play on the offensive end, taking the initiative to contain Gugliotta with the ball, creating cutting opportunities for his teammates. With Zhang Hao's passing, Kenny Anderson hit a three-pointer and Byron Smith made a pass.  Kurt hit a long two-pointer, and Zhang Hao missed a three-pointer and O'Neal scored two points with a tip-in The Lakers went on a 9-2 run at the beginning of the second quarter and quickly opened the point difference to 7 points!

    When O'Neal put down his dignity for his own performance and to win, and took the initiative to adjust his playing style according to the playing style of his teammates, the Lakers' defense in the first and second quarters changed qualitatively!

    The fans at the scene thought that they were inseparable from the Lakers tonight It was indeed inseparable in the first quarter, but at the beginning of the second quarter, the strength gap suddenly increased!

    The balance has been broken. Before, the Timberwolves couldn't defend but still found ways to kill them on the offensive end. Now, they can't!

    In the second quarter, under the leadership of O'Neal's all-out defensive effort, the Lakers first went on a 9-2 run, beating the score to 42-35, leading by 7 points.

    The next wave of fierce attacks by the Timberwolves only returned a wave of 7-5, chasing the score to 42-47.

    In the second half of the second quarter, the Lakers played another 16-9 run. At the end of the half, the Lakers led 63-51, extending their lead to 12 points!

    Throughout the second quarter, after O'Neal cooperated with Zhang Hao to protect the frame and defend the mid-range and near-basket well, the Timberwolves' original style of play, which mainly focused on shooting by the two forwards, Marbury's breakthrough, and role players cutting in, did not work.  , only scored 18 points in the second quarter!

    Marbury had 11 points and 4 assists in the half, Garnett had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the half, and Gugliotta had 9 points and 2 assists in the half. The three of them were at their strongest.

    If O'Neal is still as motivated as he was before the All-Star Weekend, scoring about 20 points, a dozen rebounds, and two or three assists per game, the Timberwolves do have a chance to close the score with the Lakers, and who may lose in the end?  It¡¯s not certain who will win. Who makes the Lakers unlucky is another fat guy who is too lazy?

    However, when O'Neal played seriously and actively cooperated, You?The things you can¡¯t see are really powerful.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Now, I¡¯m finally working hard!

    ¡­¡­

    Soon, at 6:40 in the evening, the Lakers and Knicks entered the court.

    When the Knicks players entered the court, the fans at the scene booed quite violently.

    Who made the Knicks offend their favorite gentleman?

    However, now, O'Neal has become the darling of Los Angeles fans based on his performance in the past few games.

    When the home team players came on the field, O'Neal, who was the first to run out, received heartfelt cheers from the fans.

    Fans felt O'Neal's efforts and truly saw O'Neal's sacrifice!

    In the past, fans only cheered for O'Neal because of his strength. Now, they truly feel that O'Neal has integrated into their team.

    Neither Barkley nor Magic are the starters now, but when the Lakers appeared in the ceremony, the order of appearance was still O'Neal, Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Barkley, and Magic.

    This is quite rare in the NBA and is very special, but the fans at the scene just love it.

    The reason why the fans at the scene were so excited during a regular season game is because their defense has improved recently!

    In the past, Lakers fans also had doubts. In this era when defense is prevalent, the Lakers use slanted forwards to attack. Although the offense is really fierce, averaging 110+ points per game, how far can they go in the playoffs?

    Halfway through the season has passed, and the team's defense still hasn't improved much, with the league's mid-to-lower level.

    Finally, after the All-Star Weekend, there has been a transformation!

    Tonight¡¯s game against the Knicks is the best moment of verification!

    After entering the stadium, the top 50 centers from both teams led their teammates to greet each other before the game.

    When O'Neal and Ewing hugged, Zhang Hao next to him only felt one adjective - superficially friendly.

    It was Larry Johnson who seemed to be quite unhappy when the other party looked at him.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: When the onlookers and fans onlookers saw a lot of stars from the two teams exchanging greetings, they couldn¡¯t feel any friendliness at all. Instead, they felt like they were tense and a war was about to break out!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
