    After both sides sent out their second lineups, the game finally played a little more "normally". After all, the Heat's substitute players were not very adaptable to the rhythm of running and gunning, and COSCO's shots were not that accurate.

    For the Lakers, Kobe started the singles mode. He shot inside and outside and continued to attack with the ball.

    Eddie Jones from the Heat also started to fight with him tit for tat. They are all All-Stars. Who is afraid of who?

    If it is the "Black Mamba" after 2005, there are very few people in the league who can match it. It can be said that they can be counted on one hand.  But now it's 2000, and Kobe is still far from his peak.

    This can be seen from his average of 22.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game last season. Kobe Bryant did more than this in his peak period.

    This season is the fifth season of his career. He is currently averaging 40 minutes per game, averaging 29.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists.

    Looking at the data alone, it seems that it is no different from his peak period, but veteran fans know that Kobe has not yet developed the "big killer" fadeaway jumper in the future, and most of his offense is still focused on breakthroughs.

    It can be said that Kobe at this period is actually similar to LeBron James in his "infancy". The breakthrough is indeed sharp, but the long-range shot is really unreliable.

    Like most players, Kobe is not a rookie or peak player. He was just a substitute in his rookie season, averaging only 7.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

    He made great progress in the second season, averaging 26 minutes per game, 15.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists, but he is still a substitute - what is the sixth man if not a substitute?

    In his third season, Kobe finally entered the starting lineup, averaging 37.9 minutes per game, 19.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists.

    It is good enough to perform like this in the third grade, but others at the same time as him performed better.

    For example, Vince Carter, who averaged 25.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game last season, led the underdog Toronto Raptors to sixth place in the Eastern Conference;

    Kevin Garnett averaged 22.9 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5 assists per game last season. His performance was quite comprehensive, and he also led the team to sixth place in the Western Conference;

    Allen Iverson is even better. He averaged 28.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game last season. He not only led the team to fourth place in the Eastern Conference, but also led the team to the finals.

    What worries Kobe the most is he is the boss of the team!

    Since the start of this season, Kobe has played very fiercely, eager to score 30 or 40 points in every game. His current scoring average is higher than O'Neal.

    ¡°Obviously, the young and energetic Kobe is no longer willing to sit only as the team¡¯s second-in-command He wants to take the boss¡¯s position from O¡¯Neal.

    Of course, O'Neal is in his prime right now. Let alone Kobe now, even if Jordan three years ago was brought into this Lakers team, it would be difficult to shake O'Neal's status.

    Kobe and Jones went one-on-one for eight full rounds. In the end, Kobe scored 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting, and Jones scored 8 points on 4-of-8 shooting. The Heat and Lakers were temporarily tied at 38:38.

    The Lakers requested a timeout and replaced Kobe, Medvedenko, Fox and Harper, and replaced O'Neal, Fisher, Grant and Isaiah Leder.

    As a result, the Lakers' players on the court are center O'Neal, power forward Grant, small forward Horry, shooting guard Leder and point guard Fisher.

    The Heat also made personnel adjustments. Jones and Fowler were replaced and replaced by Grant and Hardaway, playing a dual point guard.

    After O'Neal came on the court, the ball was naturally handed to him. When he was dribbling, he pushed his butt back, and then Coswell was pushed two meters away with an "ah!", and the "Shark" turned around very quickly.  , and a violent frame-breaking performance is about to take place.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Coswell jumped over with a diving jump, and directly hung on O'Neal.

    "Beep" It's impossible not to call a foul on this ball!

    This kind of action is like wrestling, how can it be like playing basketball?

    O'Neal was so depressed that he had no choice but to go to the free throw line.

    As we all know, although the "Big Shark" is powerful and invincible, his free throws have always been his Achilles' heel. This time he "lived up to expectations" and missed both free throws.

    Looking back, Grant quickly threw a baseline ball. Hardaway ran as fast as if he had a small motor on his leg. When he reached the frontcourt, he didn't wait for the opponent's defense to get into position. He opened his hand and hit a three-pointer This ball was short.  Knocked on the edge of the basket and jumped high.

    O¡¯Neal hasn¡¯t come back yet, but Grant and Horry are both 208cm tall.Logically speaking, it is completely enough to protect this backcourt rebound.

    But this rebound was grabbed by Marly. He didn't waste any time after grabbing the rebound and quickly passed it to Carter on the other side. Carter made a 2-pointer with his hands.

    "Run and gun" actually does not mean that every ball must be launched on a fast break. The Heat's "fast whirlwind" in this game is just for O'Neal's slow retreat.

    If the opponent's retreat speed is fast enough, they will also adjust their tactics to a half-court offensive run-and-gun style. That is, the five players on the field will constantly move and pass the ball to look for opportunities. Once there is an opening or a mismatched opportunity, they will  Will take action without hesitation.

    Looking back, the Lakers once again passed the ball to O'Neal to hit the inside. This time, before he could get to the basket, Coswell hugged him directly.

    "Beep" Another foul.

    "Kenny, it seems that Pat is going to 'kill a shark' today?" Barkley smiled with interest, "It seems that he has nothing to do with Shaq!"

    "That's rightif Alonzo was on the court, the Heat wouldn't be so passive!" Smith said solemnly, "Although it's difficult for Alonzo to restrain Shaq, he is still much better than other centers.  !¡±

    The four major centers in the 1990s were Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing and O'Neal. Now, except for O'Neal who is at the peak of his career, the other three have gradually aged and no longer have the courage they once had.

    Among the current inside players in the league, the only ones who can go head-to-head with this "big shark" are "African Mountain" Mutombo, "Stone Buddha" Duncan and "Hero" Mourning.

    Actually, if you have to pk, Uncle Mu, Deng Dadai and Mourning are still slightly inferior to O'Neal.  The "Peak Shark" is so incomprehensible. Against him, there seems to be no other option but to "cut the shark".

    O¡¯Neal made one of two free throws this time, and Coswell¡¯s foul once again achieved his goal.

    The Heat launched a fast break again, and this time Hardaway's breakthrough layup failed.  The Lakers turned around and continued to feed O'Neal. As a result, Causwell committed another foul and O'Neal made one of two free throws.

    ¡­¡­

    In this way, the Heat launched a fast break whenever they had the opportunity. Although the shooting rate was not particularly high, the offense was quite smooth and the offensive and defensive rhythm was very fast.

    As for the Lakers, as long as O'Neal gets the ball near the basket, someone from the Heat will always come forward to foul him.

    Throughout the second quarter, O'Neal only made 6 of 14 free throws and scored only 2 points in sports games. The ball was scored despite a foul, but he failed to make the extra penalty.

    In the second half of this quarter, the Lakers no longer dared to pass the ball to O'Neal, because passing to him would also result in a foul and send him to the free throw line.

    So Kobe got more offensive opportunities, but his offensive efficiency was not high.  He played only 4 minutes in the second half of the second quarter and only hit 1 goal in 4 shots.  Coupled with his previous performance, he made a total of 8 of 20 shots in the half, including 1 of 5 three-pointers. In addition, he made 2 of 2 free throws and scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

    O¡¯Neal didn¡¯t perform well in the second quarter, but his performance in the first quarter was explosive, scoring 26 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half.

    For the Heat, Jones scored 16 points and 2 assists, Hardaway had 12 points and 6 assists, Grant had 8 points and 7 rebounds, Mason had 8 points and 8 rebounds, and Wang Dalin had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

    At the end of the half, the Heat temporarily led the defending champion Lakers 64:60, which was considered a minor upset.

    ??And scored 64 points in the half, which also set a record for the Heat's half-time points this season.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
