The quarter ended for about 10 minutes, and the score on the field was 22 to 28, and both sides began to enter rotation one after another.

Carlisle and Jackson both used only 8 people to rotate.

Hamilton and McGrady stayed on the court and replaced Mutombo, Hayes and Tyron Lu.

On the Lakers, Sun Hao and Ariza were on the court, and Mo Ning stayed on the court and replaced Finley and Horry.

McGrady no longer held the ball for the Wizards, but stood on the wing to restrain the ball.

Obviously, he defended Sun Hao at the beginning and attacked again in the second half of the quarter. His physical energy was consumed a lot, and he was more of a restraint when he stayed on the court.

The Wizards' actual offensive core on this period of the field is Hamilton.

This man who ran away and spitted his own dog, making Kobe "powerless to complain", then he went around the field for a while and then threw away Finley to catch the ball and attack.

"Swish!"

Basketball hollowed-out bag.

Sun Hao is also constraining the Lakers' offense.

Finley was the main attack point of the Lakers' court at this time, but unfortunately, his breakthrough layup was disturbed by Uncle Mu and failed to make an attempt.

Uncle Mu caught the rebound, and the Wizards played a defensive counterattack.

Hamilton took the lead, threw everyone behind, and received a long pass from Lu to make a layup!

The fast attack speed made the others stunned.

You know, Hamilton has been playing for almost a whole quarter.

Even Sun Hao couldn't help but complain when he looked at Hamilton's back: This guy must have two physical strength slots!

In history, Sima Yi successfully picked peaches after surviving all the awesome figures of his contemporaries. Hamilton successfully made the superstar on the court until he was exhausted and started to be the big brother!

Finley received a pass from Sun Hao in the frontcourt.

This time he seized the opportunity, avoided Mutombo's block and made a defensive layup.

After experiencing the match between Yao Sha and Sun Mai PK, the game entered the competition time between Hamilton and Finley.

Such a competition is a visual feast.

In the last attack of the Wizards in this quarter, Hamilton once again successfully got the ball, took the ball and made a real break, and scored another 2 points with a fake shot!

Although he had no chance to perform under Van Gundy before, he was reborn after arriving at Carlisle and was the third leader of the team.

And don’t think he has no explosive power to score. In history, he can score in front of the Pistons in front of the top scorer, averaging 20+ per game!

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the field was 28 to 30.

The Lakers lead, but the lead is negligible.

In one quarter, whether it is the players' performance on the field or the psychological game between coaches, it is all shown, and the fans are very satisfied with watching it.

And fans soon discovered that this kind of enjoyment was more than just one section.

In the second and third quarters, both sides fought each other with each other, and the fight was very lively.

After the third quarter, the two teams tied at 88 and returned to the same starting line.

The outcome is unpredictable, and it may only take a few rounds, or even one or two rounds.

It is precisely because of this that the head coaches and players on both sides are highly concentrated.

It was just a test to say that the first game was just a stunning situation, but everyone realized that the side who won the first game would have a very big psychological advantage in the series.

In other words, both sides will strive to win in the first game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the rotation between the two sides once again expanded to ten players!

The high-intensity confrontation has caused the physical energy consumption of both teams, including the number of fouls being much higher than that of normal games.

But the same is that the two sides still lead alternately in the scores and cannot stand stalemate.

Carlisle looked at the situation on the field and held his chin with his hands thinking.

This quarter lasted more than 4 minutes, and both sides successively changed back to the main force.

At this moment, Carlisle called a pause in advance.

The suspension was screaming very suddenly. Not only the fans on the scene, Brin and others in the commentator's seat, but even Jackson was a little confused.

In the first round of the timeout, the Lakers still launched an attack from the inside as they did at the beginning.

However, just as he tried to drill Yao Ming and was about to take action, Uncle Huo Er, who assisted in defense, directly sent him to the free throw line in advance.

O'Neal went to the free throw line.

The first penalty is out of place.

The second penalty was hit by the edge of the basket and was lucky enough to roll in.

One of two free throws was a good performance for the "Big Shark".

Looking back, McGrady and Yao Ming continued to play pick-and-roll cooperation. McGrady took apart and then rushed straight to the basket, and wiped the board with her body diagonally to hit the ball.

Just replaced, McGrady said that he was in good health.

The Lakers then gave the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal saw the opportunity this time and turned to the other side to take the shot.

But just before he took action, Yao Ming fouled in advance!

I couldn't tell anything in one round, but after two rounds, I could already tell what tactical deployment Carlisle did just now.

This is...shark chopping tactic!

A chopping shark that looks a bit unconventional.

The reason why it is unconventional is that the shark chopping tactics need to meet certain conditions.

The most important one is that the number of fouls in one quarter of the past side must be 4 times.

Because there are only 4 full times, a simple foul without the ball can send the target to the free throw line.

On the contrary, it can only be effective when the opponent takes action, otherwise it will be a meaningless foul.

For example, in history, Popovich once fouled O'Neal at the beginning on O'Neal's birthday night.

The foul shot was known to many people, but it did not actually send O'Neal to the free throw line, and it also had little impact on the game.

The Wizards' unconventionality is not at this point.

Of course, Carlisle was obviously considered.

There are many fouls on both sides, and the time for slashing early and late will not be much different.

As for O'Neal, Yao Ming, who is the main defense, has a good foul tonight. Including the foul just now, it is only my third time.

So even if the foul fails for the assisted defense, Yao Ming can still choose to foul the shark chop.

O'Neal went to the free throw line again.

He adjusted his breathing.

The first penalty is biased.

The second penalty is still biased.

This time, O'Neal played stably and lost both free throws!

A burst of cheers suddenly broke out at the scene.

O'Neal made 1 of 4 free throws in these two rounds, and the Wizards' Shark-cutting tactics are very effective!

Of course, what is more important is that the Wizards scored the ball again on the offensive end!

99 to 95!

Don’t underestimate this 4-1 wave. The Wizards are slowly taking the initiative in the game!

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson focused and pondered.

Carlisle's tactics are the same as the opening, very creative.

Now he has to do multiple-choice questions, replace O'Neal to avoid being chopped off again, or choose to believe O'Neal to continue to leave him on the court.

The former is the Lakers' inside strength declines, and the latter is entirely based on O'Neal's free throw status and the Lakers' own defense.

No matter how you choose, the Lakers seem to suffer a loss.

Although Carlisle is young, he is not easier to deal with than Popovich before.

After hesitating for a while, Jackson did not stand up, which meant that he chose the latter.

He chose to believe in O'Neal and the Lakers' defense.

Of course, there is Sun Hao.

"beep!"

The whistle sounded again on the field.

This time, because the Wizards had already fouled 4 times in a single quarter, O'Neal was fouled before halftime.
