Chapter 1190 I'm Playing Mud in the Northeast

Clang!

Clang!

Soon, at the free throw line, O'Neal responded powerfully to the Raptors with his "outstanding" performance.

Which was:

You can rest assured and foul me.

The truth was, most men were just so simple and unadorned.

Because compared to the slippery girls, tonight, O'Neal was undoubtedly proving his "not forgetting his original intention" with practical actions.

On the court, after missing two free throws, O'Neal instantly felt terrible.

And on the Raptors' side, after Little O'Neal protected the backcourt rebound...

Facing Kobe, Su Feng successfully used a handsome pull-up jumper to score two more points for the Raptors.

As the saying went, familiarity was mutual.

Because Su Feng and Kobe both knew each other's strengths and weaknesses, Su Feng obviously reduced the frequency of his feints tonight when attacking.

Taking advantage of his physiological length advantage, Su Feng's offensive choices tonight were as direct as possible.

The Lakers' offensive possession.

Looking at the simple-looking Battier, thinking that this guy shouldn't be as rude in every defense as he had just been, O'Neal successfully got into position in the low post.

However...

O'Neal quickly realized how young he was.

Because on the court, he had just received the pass from his teammate and was preparing to turn around...

Battier completed his "brace" tonight!

Rumble—!

No exaggeration, the quality of the Raptors' home court floor was definitely something to talk about.

Look, even a behemoth like O'Neal, after falling twice in a row, only added some sweat to the Raptors' home court floor.

Beep—!

And with the referee's whistle, after calling Battier for a foul, the referee didn't forget to remind the staff on the sidelines to wipe the floor quickly.

O'Neal despaired.

Because when he saw the referee walking towards the "scene of the crime," he originally thought the referee would verbally warn Battier.

But...

In this era, for this level of fouling...

Think about what Jordan did when he was flying in the sky and was being pulled and hugged by four opponents!

In the restricted area, O'Neal, who was pulled up by his teammate, calmed down slightly...

At this moment, reason prevailed, and he decisively gave up the idea of arguing with Battier.

After all, as a player who aspired to be a "gentleman," he, O'Neal, wouldn't argue with a rude man like Battier.

But...

When O'Neal walked to the free throw line again, listening to the noise in the arena, he was furious.

Because unlike ordinary boos, did you know that tonight, when O'Neal was at the free throw line in the Raptors' home court, the audience on the sidelines were actually singing? Can you believe that?

Moreover, the song that the Raptors' fans were singing was not an ordinary song.

Under that magical melody, the song that the Raptors' fans were singing tonight was simply the nemesis of a natural dancer like O'Neal.

Yes...

You didn't see it wrong, and you didn't hear it wrong!

At this moment, resonating throughout the Toronto Air Canada Centre was the particularly popular Indian song, which would also become one of the Internet's brainwashing songs in the future...

—"I'm Playing Mud in the Northeast."

Outrageous!

In O'Neal's opinion, this kind of off-court interference was more than just outrageous!

Clang!

Clang!

No way.

Because his whole body was already dancing to the melody sung by the audience on the sidelines, although he was very angry in his heart, the result of O'Neal's second trip to the free throw line tonight was still two missed shots...

On the court, Battier turned and grabbed the rebound.

And with this, he also became the fourth Chinese player after Hu Weidong, Su Feng, and Wang Zhizhi to have scored points, rebounds, and assists in the NBA Finals.

Kenny Smith of TNT told the fans in front of the television: "Since the Bulls won the championship in 1998, every NBA team that has won the championship has had a Chinese player on their roster.

And this year, because both the Lakers and the Raptors have Chinese players, this rule will definitely continue, whether the Lakers or the Raptors win the championship."

On the sidelines, he didn't know if the cameraman was cooperating with Smith's commentary.

Because just as Smith was giving his popular science lecture, because the Raptors' counterattack on the court was interrupted by a foul by the Lakers...

In the back row of the Raptors' bench, the young Yao's silly smiling face once again ignited the Philadelphia fans in front of the television.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the future on the Internet, many Chinese fans had wondered why those of us who believe in science are superstitious about metaphysics.

And in the U.S....

Believe it or not, the U.S. is also the beacon of the world in terms of believing in metaphysics.

Because this country itself believes in God...

Therefore, things like laws and predestination have always been popular in the U.S.

So...

After Smith's popular science lecture, the Philadelphia fans in front of the television even felt that they could fast-forward to next season when Little Yao would be making contributions to the Philadelphia Thugs in the Finals.

On the court, the game continued.

After the Raptors inbounded the ball from the sideline, McGrady went one-on-one against Rice on the wing.

As a result, McGrady was very dashing in getting past him, but when he shot the ball, his pull-up jumper, which he had learned from Su Feng, seemed a bit stiff.

Zhang指导 of CCTV said: "McGrady is a player who is sometimes unstable with his shot and always misses some very simple scoring opportunities."

And Sun指导 on the side echoed: "After all, not every player is called Su Feng."

In the Lakers' offense, O'Neal, who had already gotten into position in the low post, decisively gave up the idea of continuing to jostle with Battier in the low post after noticing the huge resistance coming from his back.

O'Neal could see it.

Battier, who already had two fouls, didn't care if his defense would result in a foul.

Therefore, in order to avoid Battier from performing a hat-trick of suplexes, the witty O'Neal took the initiative to move to the high post to set a screen for Kobe.

And with O'Neal's screen, Kobe easily pierced through McGrady's defense.

There was no way...

McGrady, who was having a one-on-one battle with Kobe, couldn't have expected that O'Neal would be so cowardly.

However, just as Kobe broke through from the high post, on the other side, Su Feng also gave up defending Rice and blocked Kobe.

Su Feng really didn't believe in this tonight.

As a super Kobe fan who had watched Kobe play for twenty years in his previous life and had formed a bond with Kobe in this life, in Su Feng's opinion, the so-called "Los Angeles Magician" was not the real Kobe at all!

However...

On the court, facing Su Feng's double-team, Kobe once again showed his talent in passing the ball.

Rice, on the wing, received a no-look pass from Kobe and had an open shot opportunity.

Swish—!

4 to 4.

Su Feng: "..."

Honestly...

Su Feng was a little jealous.

Because in his memory, even when he and Kobe were high school teammates, Kobe had never fed him this kind of pass!

Of course...

It's just that Kobe didn't have time to pay attention to what Su Feng was thinking at this moment.

Otherwise, Kobe would have kicked Su Feng to death.

Su Feng was too terrible.

Had he forgotten so quickly how he used to go crazy under Kobe's elbows back then?

The Raptors' offensive possession.

To be fair...

He didn't know why, but every time Su Feng faced the Lakers, he felt that his touch was particularly good.

You know, even in the Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 against the Celtics, where he hit the game-winning shot, Su Feng had never felt that his shooting was so smooth as it was tonight.

Swish—!

On the court, after receiving a pass from Nash, Su Feng took over the Raptors' first six points tonight.

And on TNT, feeling Su Feng's beautiful pull-up jumper, Smith also said with emotion: "Tonight's Su is as elegant as playing the violin."

It was the Lakers' turn to attack.

O'Neal, who didn't want to tangle with Battier, once again chose to go to the high post to set a screen for Kobe.

And OK joining forces was naturally invincible.

Rice became the biggest winner.

Because after Kobe attracted Su Feng's double-team, he once again got an open shot opportunity.

As a result, don't mention it...

Tonight, Su Feng scored 6 points, and Rice also scored 6 points...

So, looking at it this way, the American small forward can still go five-five with the Chinese small forward.

The Raptors' offense.

Under Kobe's clingy entanglement, Su Feng, who was wearing the Vanessa-style painful mask, couldn't shake Kobe off in time.

However, on the other side, Little O'Neal formed a good one-on-one opportunity.

Because Little O'Neal had a natural advantage in weight compared to Lewis, Nash didn't hesitate and directly threw the ball to Little O'Neal.

It was just a pity that the young Little O'Neal chose the wrong way to attack.

After wiping past Lewis and turning into the low post, he could have chosen to shoot from mid-range at the first time, but in order to be safe, he rushed to the Lakers' restricted area in a silly and cute manner.

Then...

Slap————!

In a situation where his mentality had been messed up at the start of the game, O'Neal finally had a good time tonight!

Feel the tsunami from the Atlantic!

On the court, after charging towards Little O'Neal with a shark splash, O'Neal's right hand directly nailed Little O'Neal's layup firmly on the backboard!

But...

O'Neal hadn't had time to enjoy it for more than 2 seconds.

In the restricted area, just as he was preparing to casually grab the second landing point of the ball, suddenly...

No...

Sir, can you also get a hat-trick in this situation?

On the court, O'Neal cried after being tripped by Battier for the third time.

In fact, from the perspective of hurting people, because Battier's wrestling moves were very standardized, so apart from a slight pain in his butt, the damage O'Neal suffered was actually less than those moves that looked small but were actually very dirty.

But...

In O'Neal's opinion, the Raptors' way of playing was simply inhuman!

What was going on with the U.S. today?

What about the promised democracy, freedom, and peace?

Why were they wrestling at the slightest disagreement?

I want to play basketball, referee!

O'Neal cried.

At this moment, the expression on his face as he lay on the floor was one of despair.

Fortunately, when the first quarter of the game was halfway through, because Battier received his fourth personal foul, the Raptors took the initiative to request a substitution.

After all, in Davis's opinion, a good warrior like Battier was worth protecting, and his last two fouls should be saved for use at a critical moment.

And on CCTV, when Battier came off the court to rest, Zhang指导 also commented: "Tonight, Da Battier really played his way into the market."

Sun指导 on the side said: "When has O'Neal ever been treated like this tonight in the NBA?"

On the court, after Da Battier was substituted, O'Neal, who had been angry and trembling, quickly vented his anger on Da Ben's head.

Although the Raptors had driven O'Neal crazy a few times by fouling him in the second half of the first quarter, in the current version, it was really not humanly possible to limit O'Neal.

Plus, Kobe always maintained his sanity, so don't mention it, after the two teams finished the first quarter, the Lakers became the leading side.

The score of the two teams in the first quarter was 25 to 24.

On the Raptors' side, Su Feng scored 14 points, and Little O'Neal also had 6 points.

McGrady's performance was average, and Nash's was mediocre.

And on the Lakers' side, don't look at the fact that Kobe only scored 2 points, but in terms of assists, he had 6 assists.

In addition, the tortured O'Neal also had 10 points in the first quarter.

Tonight, the only thing that disappointed Lakers fans was probably his free throw percentage of 2 out of 10.

Because the Raptors had been using the Hack-a-Shaq tactic in the first quarter, the pace of the game was relatively slow.

And it was obvious that the Raptors' own offense was also affected by the negative impact of the Hack-a-Shaq tactic.

However, this situation was under the control of Davis and Su Feng.

Because after removing Carter to the bench, the Raptors' starting lineup was no longer their strongest lineup.

In the second quarter, Phil Jackson wanted to let Kobe lead the team alone and let O'Neal rest for a while.

But after noticing the lineup sent by the Raptors...

The "Zen Master" was moved to tears.

On the court, on the Raptors' side, Little O'Neal, Su Feng, Carter, Old Curry, and Bogues were lined up in a row.

With the Raptors' bench lineup, how could Jackson dare to let O'Neal rest?

So, while gently stroking O'Neal's back, Jackson whispered to him: "Hang in there for a while, Shaq!"

In fact, even if the "Zen Master" didn't express his love for O'Neal, O'Neal had already prepared to not rest for a minute before playing in this Finals.

After all, he, who was already 28 years old this year, really didn't have much future to look forward to.

Moreover, although the Raptors' bench lineup was strong, there was still no one on the inside who could compete with O'Neal.

Therefore, in O'Neal's opinion, when would he strike if not now?

However, a few dozen seconds later, O'Neal regretted it a little.

Because unlike the extensive use of the Hack-a-Shaq tactic in the starting lineup...

The Raptors' bench lineup didn't have the Hack-a-Shaq tactic.

"Kobe, is this the way you choose to lead the team? You can't win with just passing the ball!"

At the beginning of the second quarter, after Old Curry first made a three-pointer, Su Feng successfully intercepted Kobe's pass to Rice while defending.

And then...

After Bogues quickly dribbled the ball past half-court, Carter, the battalion commander of the Raptors' rocket artillery second battalion, also pulled out his Italian cannon.

Swish—!

25 to 30.

On the sidelines, after Carter made this three-pointer, the "Zen Master" did the one thing he hated most in his life.

Which was...

Call a timeout.

Smith of TNT said with emotion: "This is the Raptors!

When you are playing against them, as long as you are a little careless, they can quickly sanction you!

If the Lakers can't find a way to stop the Raptors' fast break, then they are not far from failure tonight!"
