The game continues.

After the Lakers replaced O'Neal and other main players on the court, the situation changed instantly.

Although Dayao wanted to guard O'Neal on the inside, the gap in strength was really too big.

There's no way to prevent it.

O'Neal, who exploded with all his strength, finally performed at the devil's level under the basket.

It made the Rockets players miserable.

On the other side, Kobe also started to show strength on the outside.

Several times, he faced Francis' defense and forced a fadeaway jumper.

But the missed shots were all scored!

In just three minutes, the Lakers once again narrowed the score to only 4 points.

It's the Rockets' turn to attack.

Francis once again came to the frontcourt with the ball.

He reached out to Dayao for a pick-and-roll.

Dayao came to the high post without hesitation and set up a pick-and-roll for Francis.

Then Francis used Dayao to throw away Kobe and go straight to the basket.

O'Neal rushed over to defend.

After seeing O'Neal rushing towards him, Francis swung the basketball diagonally backward and into Yao's hands.

Yao shot from the start.

"Whoosh!"

Scored two points.

Finally, Team Rocket got some blood back.

Time passes minute by minute.

The Lakers relied on O'Neal's lethality in the paint to score frequently.

On the Rockets' side, Dayao's high mid-range shots and fadeaway jumpers also made it impossible for the Lakers to defend.

The two sides fought hard to separate each other.

Han Ning felt much relieved.

That's what he wants, as long as he can keep the score higher than the Lakers.

However, Phil Jackson didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Looking at Dayao sweating on the court, a smile appeared on his face.

The game reached the ninth minute of the second quarter.

Han Ning called a timeout, replaced Dayao, who had lost too much energy too quickly, to take a rest, and replaced him and others on the court again.

However, he didn't know that Phil Jackson was already preparing to use his greatest weapon.

Standing in front of the bench, Phil Jackson looked at O'Neal and Kobe, and said with a serious expression: "Shaq, Kobe. I need you two in this game today. Hold on, we must win this game."

Game win!”

Although O'Neal and Kobe were a little tired.

But every time the two heard Phil Jackson say this, they couldn't help but agree, and then returned to the court to continue fighting.

The reason is also very simple.

The more Phil Jackson said this, the more the two felt that the team could not do without them.

They are the saviors of the Lakers!

I am afraid that no American player who advocates individual heroism can reject this statement.

And Phil Jackson's killer weapon is also very simple.

To sum it up in four words, fuck the main force to death!

You are a strong substitute, right?!

No matter how strong you are, it can only be as strong as my main force!

I don't care whether you are a king versus a king, a general versus a general, or a small soldier against a small soldier.

I will use my main force to fight against you!

I can’t kill you!

When the players from both sides returned to the court again, Han Ning stood on the sidelines with his eyes wide open and couldn't help but want to curse!

Smelly old man, you don’t have martial ethics!

You might as well let O'Neal and Kobe live on the court!

Although the Rockets' bench has strong scoring ability.

But it’s definitely not as good as the main players of the Lakers!

This point was also reflected in the game just now.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded.

Lakers offense.

Kobe came to the frontcourt with the ball. Just as he was about to attack with the ball, he saw O'Neal reaching for the ball in the low post.

Originally, at the beginning of the game, Han Ning asked Francis to talk trash to Kobe.

These rubbish words really had an effect.

In the first few minutes of the game, Kobe and O'Neal barely passed the ball to each other.

The Rockets also used this time to take the lead.

But after O'Neal's performance returned to normal, there were more passes between the two.

Kobe is not a fool.

The position of boss is up for grabs.

But if he has to sacrifice victory in a game, that is something he cannot accept under any circumstances.

He wants the boss position, and he also wants to win.

Since the Rockets are so difficult to deal with, it doesn't matter if he passes a few passes to O'Neal.

After O'Neal received Kobe's pass, he felt the power from Kenyon Thomas behind him and smiled disdainfully.

Are you kidding, any insider can guard against the Sharks?!

Hold the ball in your right hand and start hitting directly from behind.

Once, twice, three times.

After successfully hitting the basket, he turned around.

After pushing Kenyon Thomas away, he put the ball together with both hands and jumped up hard.

Seeing this, Kenyon Thomas rushed over and wanted to continue to defend.

But it was too late.

O'Neal had already jumped up, holding the ball with both hands and slamming it towards the basket.

"bang!"

"Crunch...crunch..."

The rim was being pulled by O'Neal, making constant noises.

And Kenyon Thomas was directly pushed away by O'Neal.

An extremely violent slam dunk.

Seeing this scene, the Rockets fans at the scene felt helpless and desperate.

Not if they are not their players.

It's O'Neal who is too cruel!

If he doesn't play Yao, he definitely won't be able to guard against O'Neal.

But they were also aware of Dayao's physical problems.

If Dayao is allowed to play on the court all the time, the risk of injury will increase and the scoring efficiency will also be reduced.

Han Ning had already explained this to the media a long time ago.
