The Pope of Basketball Community

The Raptors attacked, and McGrady relied on a screen to get rid of Kobe and open a one-on-one.

At this time, the role of veteran Holly began to show, and he kept making small moves to defend Tracy McGrady, including poking his waist and pushing his thigh. McGrady turned around and shot with poor rhythm and missed the basket.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe was double-teamed again. The ball was passed to Brian Shaw and missed another three-pointer. In the Raptors' position, Yang Rui shouted to Miller on the sidelines: "Go to the side to cover without the ball."

Detrev's body is not very effective as a side screen, and Miller has little effect on McGrady's pick-and-roll. Even if he helps him get rid of Kobe, he can't easily break through. Fox and Holly are both experienced and about the same height as McGrady.

Miller immediately went to the left and gave Hornacek an off-ball screen. McGrady passed the ball through the middle.

Hornacek won two three-pointers. No one dared to relax their defense on him, and Holly immediately changed defense. Hornacek took a step and passed the ball to Miller, who ran to a low 45-degree position.

Miller is the team's main shooting coach, and he also practices low-post footwork. He relies on Fisher to turn to the center and throw the ball in. 33 to 27.

Fox defended Detrev far away from the basket. Holly is 2o6cm tall and weighs only 100kg. Even if he directly defends Miller, he is at a disadvantage, and he is even more difficult to defend after retreating after a mismatch.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe took the ball in the low post on the right side, stepped forward and broke through the baseline, leaned on Christie to get to the basket, jumped up to pull the lever under the double-team of Detrev, threw the ball into the gap, and hit the backhand with his backhand. 33 to 29.

Zhang Lijia shouted: "It's so good to stay in the air. No one except Kobe can score such a double-teamed goal!"

Kobe has an amazing sense of the ball and often scores incredible goals, but Yang Rui is not in a hurry. It is much more difficult for the Lakers to score than the Raptors. Kobe couldn't do many of these fancy layups in a game.

McGrady was closely guarded by Kobe and took on the task of organizing. Hornacek and Miller once again picked and rolled from the side. Miller stormed to the basket.

After feinting, he turned back to the baseline and relied on Holly to hit the board and score. 35 to 29.

"Zen Master" Jackson saw that the famous "soft guy" started bullying people at the basket, so he replaced Brian Shaw and replaced him with O'Neal.

"Big Shark" dominated the penalty area as soon as he came up and scored in three consecutive rounds. He first squeezed Miller away for a one-handed dunk, and then caused Miller and Detrev to foul once each, making 3 of 4 free throws.

Yang Rui replaced Miller and sent veteran Willis, who continued to use the "shark-cutting tactic" to guard against outside players. Willis quickly committed four fouls and rested, and Cato came on again to compete with O'Neal.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Cato faced O'Neal in the 2004 playoffs and defended well. O'Neal is now at his peak and cannot be restricted by Cato one-on-one. He scored 31 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist in the half, and made 8 of 20 free throws.

Kobe had only 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists at halftime. When O'Neal came back, he no longer had the ball.

The Raptors continued to attack O'Neal a little bit and took him running. O'Neal was forced to switch defenders and also committed two fouls. The Raptors players were much more accurate in free throws.

The Raptors led 54 to 49. Carter performed best, scoring 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

During the halftime break, Zhang Liyi sighed: "The Raptors' style of play this time is really... indescribable. O'Neal only made 20 free throws in the half, which is likely to break the record."

Sun Zhengping said: "Is it a scoring record? The first one is Michael Jordan, who scored 63 points in 1986."

Zhang Liji smiled and said: "The scoring record is difficult. There is no suspense about breaking the record for the number of free throws in a single game. The previous record was O'Neal's, 31 times in a single game."

On November 19, 1999, the 7-3 Lakers faced the 1-7 Bulls at home. O'Neal played 43 minutes, got an NBA history record of 31 free throw opportunities, made 19 of them, and made 13 of his field goals. 11, scoring 41 points, 17 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 7 blocks.

The bystanders were just surprised, but the person involved, O'Neal, was angry. He spent the entire first half fighting with his opponents, scoring a lot, but also consuming a lot of energy. Now he is very tired.

If the Raptors continue to play like this in the second half, can they still have fun?

In the second half, the first player to play was veteran Willis, who had committed 4 fouls. As soon as he saw him, Mike Breen smiled. "Jerry Young has promoted the shark-cutting tactic. Today it seems that he will cut it to the end. The rest of the Lakers must step up and score."

Walter Frazier said: "Christie did a good job guarding Kobe today. If Kobe can't play, it will be difficult for the Lakers to win today."

The game continued, and the Lakers tried several fast breaks. The Raptors' one-on-one defense was not weak, and the effect was not good.

In a positional battle, O'Neal attacked the basket. The Raptors did not double-team and guarded the outside.

On the offensive end, the Raptors' outside players are constantly running around looking for opportunities, catching the ball and shooting in isolation.

Played with Cato and Willis for 7 minutes, and Yang Rui replaced Miller. He would not be easily knocked away by O'Neal in the low post. He could also interfere with O'Neal's shooting and prevented two goals.

O'Neal consumed too much energy and the pick-and-roll was much slower. Carter moved to catch the ball and hit three three-pointers in a single quarter. Kobe pursued the defense quickly, but O'Neal had no choice but to block from the side, and Miller often came back for the second block in the middle.

O'Neal Jr. is on the court, and Green must defend him, otherwise the one-on-one will be an opportunity. If he wants to help O'Neal defend Carter, he can only play on the wing, which will miss the pitcher.

In the last attack, Carter still moved without the ball. Kobe caught up with him. Carter distributed the ball to the center. Miller faced O'Neal and hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer, which almost destroyed the morale of the Lakers.

87 to 69, the Raptors only allowed the Lakers to score 20 points in this quarter.

O'Neal made 12 more free throws, breaking the single-game free throw record, hitting 7. He made 15 of 32 free throws in the three quarters, which was equivalent to 15 points in 16 offensive opportunities, which was very inefficient.

Some fans are curious as to how O'Neal, one of the league's heaviest insiders, managed to avoid physical problems during his peak years. The answer is that on the defensive end, he doesn't defend the defender's three-pointers very much.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Pacers only averaged 18.1 three-pointers per game. The Raptors averaged 29.4 three-pointers per game this season. Because of this difference, O'Neal's running volume in the three quarters was close to the entire game against the Pacers.

In 2004, the Pistons defeated the Lakers 4-1 to win the championship. Billups and Hamilton caused the Lakers the most headaches because they had good physical strength and kept running.

In the current Raptors, Carter is stronger than Hamilton, who mainly focuses on mid-range shooting. Billups's overall strength is not as good as that of the Pistons, and his physical fitness and three-pointers are not worse than before. O'Neal Jr. and Miller's evacuation ability is far better than that of Shuanghua. Laish combination.

In the final quarter, O'Neal and Kobe continued to play. Jackson knew that if he wanted to win, he could only play stars. The point difference continues to widen, and the stars no longer need to play.

The Raptors put on two substitutes, Boykins, Christie, McGrady, Jumaine Jones, and Miller.

Yang Rui asked Miller to guard O'Neal alone. If O'Neal goes deep into the basket, you're welcome, it's a foul. McGrady played as a power forward, switching to guard Kobe after encountering the pick-and-roll.

O'Neal played for a minute, missed a shot, turned around and went to the basket and was hugged, and went to the free throw line. He almost vomited from free throws today and missed both free throws.

As fringe players, Boykins and Jumaine are very physical. As soon as their teammates grab the rebound, they immediately jump down.

The 36-year-old veteran Hubble has been playing for 30 minutes and has exhausted a lot of energy. How can he keep up with Boykins? The 198cm tall boy didn't even bend down when he was trying to counterattack, but Boykins ran out.

Hubble was broken through three times in a row, watched Boykins go to the layup twice, and once fouled and blocked the fast break. Jackson quickly replaced Hubble and replaced Fisher.

At this time, the Lakers outside players, except Kobe, no longer dared to shoot. As long as the shot fails and the opponent's counterattack is too sharp, O'Neal can no longer guarantee his return to defense.

The Raptors' position was also difficult to defend against the Lakers. Jumaine and Christie stood on the right side to attract defense. McGrady organized the pass in the middle. Miller provided Boykins with no ball screen on the left side to help him get rid of Fisher.

It was a spectacle to see O'Neal switch to Boykins, who was not even half his age. He mainly kept his distance to prevent breakthroughs, and Boykins directly hit a three-pointer.

This goal greatly damaged the morale of the Lakers. Boykins, the shortest player, scored 7 points after coming out, and the point difference widened to 21 points.

Jackson didn't call a timeout because he knew he couldn't win today.
