After the referee confirmed the penalty, Ben Wallace and Jamill Watson were sent off.

O'Neal had no problem with the preliminary examination, but he was still taken back to the locker room by the team doctor. He had to do some detailed examinations. Even if he could come back in the second half, he had to go to the hospital for more detailed examinations after the game.

After a long struggle, the players of both teams finally calmed down from the bloody emotions. The head coaches of both teams were constantly urging the players to restrain themselves next.

Sloan sent Anthony Carl to create conflicts with Anthony Carl's rough style of play, but the result of this conflict... they want to win the championship! He doesn't want the players to fight.

If you are a player without that kind of bad intention, if it is a normal confrontation, you will not do malicious actions. Even if the head coach tells him to do it, he will not want to do it. Why do I have to lose my reputation and career and future to do something like that after playing for one or two years? This kind of thing requires players to have bad intentions. Of course, there are not many such players. It is just that the NBA player group with more than 400 people always has some rat shit, and there are 29 coaches, and occasionally there will be rat shit.

Since things have been like this, it is useless for Sloan to regret it, so he can only try to control the situation.

They want to compete for the championship! At this time, they suffered a loss with the Lakers? It's crazy!

Silver Fox was comforting the team members while digesting the current situation. Everything was too sudden!

There may be omens for evil offenders. The conflict may be planned by one party, but no team wants to see a fight, and no player wants to fight without any idleness. Fighting is often very sudden.

Panic... It shouldn't be that Silver Fox is a professional firefighting coach who has strong ability to deal with emergencies. After the conflict ends and clarifying the status quo, his first reaction is not to curse the streets. Curse the streets is the next thing. Now he is thinking about how to deal with the current dilemma.

The Lakers have 7 skilled fouls, the Jazz have 6 skilled fouls, the Jazz have 1 skilled foul free throw, and Stockton hits a technical foul free throw, the Jazz calls a timeout.

At this point, even though Anthony Carl was not knocked out, he was sent out for a second-level malicious foul and was sent out. He was missing a main inside substitute. Sloan had no choice but to gain an advantage. Barkley on the opposite side was kicked out of the court, O'Neal... Sloan really doesn't want a player like O'Neal to be injured or even affect his career due to such a thing, but now O'Neal is temporarily leaving the court, which is their chance!

...

There was a riot at the scene, and the fans at the scene were still in a riot. The original guilt was also a bit of anger by Barkley's punch. The fanatical voices of the fans at the scene seemed to swallow everyone of the Lakers.

The commentator in front of the TV also exclaimed for a long time. When Barkley was expelled and O'Neal left the field for a check because of a vicious offender, the commentators generally saw that the Lakers were detrimental.

However, the ratings soared after the fight. Everyone knows that the Lakers and Jazz can't be good at this round of the series, and they have definitely formed a deep hatred. When will the Utah double evil spirits be old? It's hard to say. On the Lakers, the older one of the Rent Horse combination is only 25 years old. The ultimate duo team that has been in trouble for many years in the future will definitely become more and more popular in the future.

This is the first game that has just begun to be popular, and fans don’t want to miss it!

After the timeout, the Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Wilkins, Jason Williams and Zhang Hao.

This is the strongest combination of the Lakers at present.

The Jazz sent Stockton, Hornersek, Brian Russell, Malone and Ostertag.

This is an opportunity, Sloan must seize it, and he will not care about any "guilty" emotions at this time.

Kenny Anderson walked onto the free throw line and made both free throws, and the Lakers' lead expanded to 12 points.

Two free throws, but the Lakers attacked. Zhang Hao received the ball and played Malone with his back and turned over and jumped in but failed. On the other hand, Stockton passed it to Malone after pick-and-roll. Malone cut in and attracted Zhang Hao to make up for defense and split it to Ostertag. Ostertag received the ball and raised it high and made a throw shot, which also caused Jason Williams to make a foul!

After Ostagge made a free throw, the Jazz narrowed the gap to within 10 points, and was still 9 points behind!

This is the clarion call for the Jazz's counterattack, and the Lakers' current lineup is really unstoppable!

The Jazz are ranked 6th in the league in the regular season. Experts ranked 3rd in the league in the defensive success rate calculated by real game situations, ranking behind the Knicks and Bulls, and the Jazz are ranked 4th in the first two rounds of the playoffs, ranking behind the Bulls, Lakers and Heats.

Now the Lakers' offense has become Kenny Anderson leading the team to support it, and the effect is not particularly good. Brian Shaw and the Magic also rotated on the court for a while, but it was not as good as Kenny Anderson alone, but right.

At this time, Zhang Hao's weaknesses were exposed that he could not lead the team alone like Olajuwon, David Robinson, and Ewing, and he could not compare with O'Neal. He really seemed to be similar to Mo Ning, and he was a stronger player with a stronger function. Mo Ning had enough basic conditions to raise the team's defense ceiling, while Zhang Hao could raise the team's offensive ceiling.

But the foundation was not enough. Zhang Hao played very hard in the second half of the second quarter, but he only relied on counterattack to get 3 points, scoring a goal at one time, and one shot at one foul.

The main thing is that after the conflict, the confrontation suddenly improved to the extreme!

If O'Neal and Barkley had one person there, it would be fine. Both of them were better than Zhang Hao in leading the team and had stronger strength, but they were not here at this time...

When the half was over, the Lakers scored at 59 points, and only scored 10 points after the timeout. Two of them were the free throws left by O'Neal by the evil criminal!

Although Zhang Hao had 21 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in the half, the Lakers were still overtaken by the Jazz after halftime, and the Lakers were 2 points behind and entered the midfield break.

After both fat men left the court, the Jazz played a crazy super shock wave, and overtook the score in a single quarter!

...

...

After the turbulent second quarter, Lakers players returned to the locker room amid booing, cursing and ridicule from fans on the scene.

It was frustrating, but seeing O'Neal receive a shoulder and leg massage from a trainer in the locker room...this situation...

Zhang Hao asked, "Are you okay?"

"Of course, how could it be wrong for me to be so strong... It hurts, Gary, please be gentle..."

O'Neal was about to pretend to be a pussy, but Lakers trainer Gary Vidy was pressing the muscle group of O'Neal's legs that fell to the ground, causing O'Neal's tears to come out.

The pretentiousness failed, but instead attracted a burst of laughter from his teammates.

Gary Vidy was only in her early 40s and was already bald. He ignored O'Neal's moan and said: "The current team doctor's examination is not a problem for the time being. There are only bruises and slight strains of muscle tissue. You can play in the second half, but the playing time must be limited. You have to rest when you are tired. You cannot cause accidents to worsen the injury due to fatigue. You can go to the hospital for more detailed examination after the game."

Hearing this, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, ignored O'Neal, walked to the bathroom, trying to wash his face.

At the same time, we must think carefully about the predicament of Barkley after being expelled...

O'Neal looked at Zhang Hao's cold look and was so angry that he was so angry!

Just now, he gave Ma Long a elbow to allow the team doctor to do a test for him. Now, he feels that Zhang Hao is quite good. Now, he feels that he and Zhang Hao can't get along!

As for this favor, at worst, someone wants to bully Zhang Hao in the future, so he can help.

Just thinking of Zhang Hao's cold face, calm but unwilling to suffer losses... O'Neal really couldn't imagine anyone who could bully Zhang Hao.

After thinking for a while, O'Neal found that this favor was not sure which year or month to be able to get it!

After learning about O'Neal's situation, the Silver Fox breathed a little relieved.

Barkley's side, if he directly knocked his opponent out, at least one game of ban is inevitable, and fines will definitely be included. O'Neal was not injured. It's a blessing in disgrace... At this time, the Silver Fox felt that Barkley knocked Anthony Carl out with one punch. It was too bad to do it!

Don't knock it out, hit it a few more!

Now it’s stressful!

If the Lakers want to win the Western Conference Finals, they have to win at least one away game, and they have to defend all home courts.

If you play against the Jazz, you may not necessarily win at home. You have to be prepared to lose at least one home game, and you have to win two away games...

As an old coach, Silver Fox has always made a correct judgment in this regard. For example, in the 1995 playoffs, the Supersonics won 57 and the Lakers won 48, but he even concluded that they would not suffer any loss away. Sure enough, they easily eliminated the Supersonics 3-1, and they were just one little short of the game and then swept.

After thinking about it over and over again, Silver Fox felt that he had to try his best to win this game. He could no longer find the best chance to grab the first two games as planned before the start of the Western Conference Finals. No matter whether the chance tonight is good or not, he had to fight for it with all his strength, otherwise this round of series would be difficult.

On the other hand, Zhang Hao, who had washed his face in the toilet, analyzed the situation and his thoughts were exactly the same as those of Silver Fox!

I'm anxious, but my strength is that way, there's no way...

There is no way!

The props of the system are also part of his strength!

After thinking about it, he had a scheming, but he had to see how the situation was in the second half and had hope of winning. At least he could keep the score tight and do it like that, otherwise it would be a waste.

...

After returning from the intermission, the noise from the fans on the scene became even more intense.

The Jazz have long been used to it. Over the past 10 years, the performance of the two evil spirits has been stable for ten years. Stockton averaged 10+ assists per game for 10 consecutive years and scored 9 assists in 10 consecutive years. The Magicians can't beat him. Malone averaged 25+ points per game for 10 consecutive years. Only Jordan can beat Malone. Under the leadership of the two, the Jazz won 8 50+ games in 9 years, which is outrageously stable, and at the same time, it also makes Salt Lake City fans more loyal and united.

Liang Zi has completely formed a grudge, and the grudges have escalated. The fans at the scene regard the Lakers as their father-killing enemy. When Lakers players entered the court, the boos received even more violently than the opening.

Because they saw O'Neal coming back!

However, this booed ignited the anger of Lakers players.

It is difficult for people to have the same view on the same thing, especially on both sides of the interests. Jazz fans think they are at a disadvantage. The main substitute power forward Anthony Carter was knocked out and carried out, and O'Neal was "just" been attacked by a vicious offender.

But in the eyes of Lakers players, everyone on the scene was full of villains!

Yes, although the Lakers have the upper hand during the conflict, O'Neal, who had no time to fight back, was lying on the ground, and the other stingers, who were all more than the multi-siders.

The Lakers sent Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, O'Neal and Zhang Hao to the field.

At least it seems that the Lakers have not been affected yet.

The Jazz also sent out a roster, Stockton, Hornersek, Brian Russell, Malone and Ostertag.

After the start of the second half, the two teams played hard to distinguish. O'Neal was very active in the defensive end and did whatever he wanted. With Zhang Hao's frame protection and the baseline, he had a better mobile and defense ability. He defended well. The Jazz's basket meat grinder combination also defended well.

The confrontation has begun, and the two teams have very good restrictions on the opponent's lineup.

After playing for 4 minutes in the third quarter, the Lakers scored 6 points and the Jazz scored 7 points. The score was scored. The Lakers were further 1 point difference by the Jazz during this period.

However, it was Sloan who called for a pause to substitution first!

There was no way, Ostertag played the second half of the second quarter and the first quarter again. With these 4 minutes, it took more than 20 minutes.

Rotation adjustment is also a gamble. Originally, O'Neal was not present, Barkley was kicked out of the court, and Sloan put Ostertag on the bench to rest. The Jazz also had certain advantages in playing against the Lakers, but they could not catch up with the 12-point gap, let alone overtake.

In the second half of the second quarter, Malone and Ostertag built a dominant inside defense, as well as having an excellent cake snack at the basket, overtaking the score, but it also disrupted the normal use of Ostertag. In the playoffs, facing O'Neal, Ostertag even had the best rotation arrangement and the best physical condition, and played for 30 minutes.

Now you have to replace it, otherwise Ostag will be unable to defend himself in the last quarter.

O'Neal couldn't play in the second half, Sloan failed this time, but there was no way, and now he can only do this.

However, even so, the Jazz did not lose the upper hand.

After returning from the timeout, Sloan replaced Hornersek and Osttarger with Chris Morris and Greg Foster.

The Silver Fox replaced Doug Christie and George Lynch with Byron Scott and Wilkins to strengthen O'Neal's offense.

The points used by the head coaches of both teams are very clear and in place. O'Neal turned on the singles mode, Malone + Greg Foster, basically unable to prevent the furious O'Neal, and the Lakers' offense finally opened.
To be continued...
