The Raptors knew that they could not defend O'Neal in the interior, and Wesley went around to defend and did not catch O'Neal.

Billups handed the basketball to Kobe in front of the court.

Outside the three-point line on the left, Kobe took a three-threatening offensive posture and raised the ball and scouting steps.

Christie marks the defense, posing in a standard defensive posture, and his right hand is always on Kobe's face. The defensive distance is very delicate, which can prevent breakthroughs and shots.

Kobe suddenly changed direction and accelerated, entered the inside line, stopped and raised the ball with a quick stop. Christie did not jump, but instead bullied himself in front of him and pressed the defender Kobe.

Twisting his waist, jumping up, stagnating, Kobe chose to make a strong shot, raised his hand and leaned back and made a jump shot...

Christie stretched out her right hand and covered Kobe's face.

Bang-!

Kobe's shot made a blacksmith.

Christie is an underrated defender. His defensive skills are outstanding and his physical talent is not bad. He will be selected for the best defensive second team for the next second and will be selected for the best defensive first team at one time.

Moreover, Christie is known as Kobe's true "nemesis", and other players who clamor for being Kobe's Terminator all want to step on Kobe to show off.

Christie is a low-key person and does a great job of limiting Kobe's offense.

Fortunately, the basketball was grabbed by Daben.

Oakley is 35 years old after all, and even Oakley himself underestimated his physical talent. All he saw was Daben's strength and iron-blooded style.

Da Ben wanted to show himself in front of Big Brother, but after landing, he wanted to dunk, but Oakley was sent to the free throw line.

He is too clear about the advantages and disadvantages of Big Book.

The result is that Da Ben is on the free throw line and has two free throws.

Outside the field, Li Mu shook his head, Kobe finished, when will he be the first to reach the big man?

On the court, the Raptors attacked. Christie saw Carter's momentum and passed the ball to Carter to fight Bowen alone.

Kobe was paying attention to assisting defense on the side, which was obviously unnecessary.

Carter did not choose to break through this goal. He made a move and immediately pulled out a two-point jump shot...

"Vincecart has shown confidence, this attack is very simple."

But Bowen used his candy defense to tell Carter that he would not be able to look down on others.

His right hand suddenly slapped Carter's eyes, accompanied by a cold expression.

With a bang.

Carter's shooting rhythm was messy and he didn't hit.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and scored a penalty for Billups. He drove a step forward and pushed his hands with his hands, wanting to push and counterattack quickly.

At this moment, a figure rushed out and cut off the basketball as if waiting.

This person is Christie.

After Billups made a name for his pass was called a 'scalpel' pass.

And Christie's nickname is the "scalpel".

He has a strong predictive ability, read the pass line and quickly cut off the pass.

With this ability, although he is not a steal king, he has maintained an average of 2.5 steals per game in recent seasons, and the "scalpel" is not for nothing.

Cut the pass, Christie felt like he was in a state of no one, and rushed to the basket and flew in the air.

5 to 6!!

really!

The Raptors' outside group is very powerful.

Li Mu nodded in his heart, but he didn't take this Raptors seriously.

Don't ask, it's the Raptors' attack, focusing on positional battles.

Without physical talent, he actually wants to fight the Lakers in a stern manner. Who is the best offensive ability to fight tough and attack?

There is no one else!

Li Mu just wanted to take a tactical backwards and quietly watch the Raptors head coach Butch Carter wasting the physical talent of the Raptors.

By the way, in positional battles, the offensive power of the Raptors team, even if combined, is not as good as O'Neal.

This is not a lie.

It is true that the Raptors scored frequently on the outside, and the Lakers' O'Neal's thighs are thick enough.

With the Raptors' two 72-year-old inside players, they can't stop O'Neal's scoring at all.

In addition, Billups is also familiar with Alvin Williams, and occasionally breaks through with his strong body, and makes frequent contributions when making small throws.

Alvin Williams is 196cm tall and weighs 81 kilograms. He was too light in the second round pick in 1997 and was not very good at all. Even if Billups had a fair breakthrough skill, he could still score points on his head.

The Lakers defended and contracted, limiting the Raptors to break through to the inside, and the offensive group on the outside gradually extinguished the fire.

It doesn't matter if the Lakers' outside line is also restricted.

O'Neal's output was very stable after a few bangs.

After the first quarter, the score was 28 to 22, and the Lakers had a 6-point advantage, leading the Raptors.

O'Neal made 6 of 8 shots, 2 of 5 free throws, and scored 16 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, making the Raptors silently.

...

In the second quarter, Li Mu asked Kobe to continue to play. His offensive performance was poor and was suppressed by Christie.

At the same time, Harper, Rice, Horry and Lewis were sent.

When Butch Carter saw that his head was buzzing. The Lakers' "rotating lineup" was much better than the Raptors' starting main players. How should we play in this game?

Gripping his teeth, he continued to put Carter into the bench.

Meanwhile, the 6th man McGrady appeared, the others Di Brown, John Wallace and got chips from the Lakers, selected rookie Nazel Mohammed.

The second quarter started, and DiBrown handed over the basketball to McGrady.

Kobe stepped forward to defend.

McGrady made three offensive threats, and both sides were very familiar with each other, so he directly used his killer move.

A shot was swung in the air and dribbled the ball and took a step towards the inside.

Kobe quickly retreated, but McGrady's first step was too fast.

This step instantly disrupted Kobe's defensive posture. Kobe knew each other, so he forced himself to stop and immediately jumped up to block.

Kobe predicted McGrady's next attack in advance.

Don't ask, asking is just a waste of time!

McGrady pulled the ball and made a quick stop and scored a two-point jump shot...

His body is very elegant, tall, long arms, excellent bounce, very high shooting point, and he leaned back a little.

Kobe had already predicted McGrady's offensive method, but failed to predict McGrady's growth again.

His height is 2.03 meters and his wingspan is 2.20 meters. This physical talent is simply not able to cover it.

The arc of basketball in the air is very flat.

Swish—!

With his hands raised and his sword fell, McGrady's pulling out made a steadily hit.

28 to 24!!

Looking back, Kobe directly reached out to ask for the ball, which was also a three-threat attack.

McGrady is also ready to go and let it go.

There was no way, Kobe forced a breakthrough, reached the inside line, stopped and shook the ball towards the basket, then flew away McGrady, turned around and pulled the basketball into the basket from another direction.

30 to 24!!

Next, Kobe and McGrady scored, and neither side could defend their opponents.

Soon, McGrady retreated.

By the way, Kobe is the core of the Lakers' outside line, what is McGrady?

He also has to be the team's blue-collar worker, and the task given to him by the head coach is defense.

Just leave the offense to Carter and John Wallace.

Finally, Carter knew McGrady's idea and gave him a few more passes, otherwise he would have to watch Kobe and Carter's performance.

You know, in the 98/99 season, McGrady's data was not much better than the rookie game, and she averaged only 9 points, 6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

As soon as Carter joined the Raptors, he was trained as a star. He averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the new season, directly crushing McGrady.

After Kobe fought against McGrady, he fought against Carter again. The scene was very lively. He played for nearly half a quarter, but the score did not break.

Li Mu waved his hand and replaced O'Neal and Curry on the field, replacing Kobe and Lewis.

Sure enough, as soon as O'Neal came on the court, his offensive efficiency was different.

Mohammad couldn't stand it at all, or in other words, no Raptors' inside line can stand it. O'Neal scored 2+1 at the basket!!

Next, Rice received an O'Neal's pass and scored a three-pointer.

Curry is not ruthless, with O'Neal in the inside, he is very comfortable to shoot three-pointers.

The two star-level three-pointers are outside and are firing frequently. The Raptors are not strong in defense and can only ignore one thing.

After the second quarter, the score was 59 to 46. The Lakers returned to the locker room with a 13-point advantage.
Chapter completed!
