"Phil Jackson, is there nothing to be done?" At the end of the intermission, all the players on both sides walked out of the player tunnel, and after seeing the Lakers' lineup, Magic Johnson was also frowning at the moment, obviously dissatisfied with the Lakers' changes after the break.

After the adjustment at halftime, Phil Jackson put Kobe and Malone on the bench after the start of the third quarter, and sent a lineup led by O'Neal and Payton. According to Phil Jackson's adjustment, the Lakers are likely to replace O'Neal and Payton with Kobe and Malone after they play for a while, and the four superstars will take turns.

Can this change for the Lakers deal with the Pacers in front of them? Of course not, although this change can allow the Lakers to play smooth coordination and tactics, and at the same time can enhance the strength of the Lakers' bench lineup, but in this way, the Lakers' starting lineup will be more obvious on the outside, without Kobe's containment, Payton will face the Pacers' multiple outside encirclement, and at the same time, after Malone is off the court, the Pacers will be more unscrupulous to contain O'Neal. And put Kobe and Malone into the bench lineup, two games a game is okay, after a long time, there will definitely be problems within the Lakers, just look at Kobe Bryant who is sitting on the bench now, that gloomy look will know what will happen if Phil Jackson keeps pressing Kobe on the bench.

At the same time as the Lakers made changes, the Pacers did not make any adjustments to the lineup they played, and still maintained the main lineup in the second quarter, but the position on the defensive end was slightly different from the first half, Jermaine O'Neal no longer wrapped up O'Neal without the ball, but allocated a part of the defensive attention to the help defense, especially several outside lines of the Lakers, this change of the Lakers, the signal released is very obvious, Robert Hawley, Gary Payton, Devin George, veteran Tracy Murray, All of them are players with good mid-to-long-range shooting ability, and O'Neal brings such a group of players on the court, and it is simply clear what the Lakers will do next.

"I hope this change can have some effect." Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, looked at O'Neal, who had already appeared, and then at Kobe Bryant, who was not far away from him, with a towel over his head, and kept rubbing his two hands together. The 15 minutes of halftime are too short for Phil Jackson, only 15 minutes, Phil Jackson has no way to formulate an effective strategy, those pre-game plans and arrangements, now all of them are useless, in order not to lose the game like this, Phil Jackson finally decided to use O'Neal Kobe Bryant and a few of them, first let O'Neal take Peyton and them to play a big and four small tactics, and then let Kobe and Malone take the bench lineup to play blocking and dismantling tactics, if there is enough time, Phil Jackson is also ready to experiment with what kind of chemistry O'Neal and Malone, Payton and Malone, and Payton and Kobe Bryant will have, and then according to their performance, after the game is over, to develop a strategy that suits them.

"Isn't it true that I've made you suffer enough, Dibeken?" When O'Neal received Payton's pass, he saw that the Pacers did not wrap himself, but let himself and Mutombo go one-on-one, O'Neal's heart immediately felt like he had been greatly wronged, and every time he played against the Pacers, it was either a double bag or a three-person bag. In today's game, the Pacers did not wrap themselves up for the first time, but let a Finals subordinate lose to defend himself, when did he receive such treatment? Is it that Larry Bird has so much confidence in Mutombo that he thinks he can limit himself one-on-one? Or is it in Larry Bird's mind that he doesn't have to bag now? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and O'Neill could only pour all his anger on Mutombo at the moment. O'Neill provoked Mutombo with his words, and at the same time used his strong body to constantly push against Mutombo behind him.

"Shaq, do you know why you always fail? Because you're so arrogant! After hearing O'Neal's ridicule, Mutombo was not to be outdone and ironically replied, although he was not O'Neal's opponent one-on-one, but after being abused by O'Neal for 5 consecutive games in the finals, he didn't have a long time to see, and found some tricks that made O'Neal uncomfortable, Mutombo was in vain as a four-time best defensive player, in this game, the Pacers have always been Mutombo who is responsible for defending O'Neal, although Mutombo still can't get O'Neal, but relying on the tricks he has figured out, and the small movements of his hands up and down, which made O'Neill always very uncomfortable when facing Mutombo in this game. Although Mutombo was also a loser in front of O'Neill, Mutombo was not embarrassed at all when he said these words, but deliberately showed a shameful appearance, as if O'Neill was his defeated.

"Hmph, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson when one of your men is defeated." Although O'Neal entered the finals 3 times and only won the championship once, he has also won the championship and FMVP, where is the turn to get a person who has not won the championship to teach himself, especially Mutombo, a guy who has been repeatedly ravaged by himself in the finals. After feeling the gap behind him, O'Neal retracted his body's center of gravity, and then in front of Mutombo, he turned his back directly and threw the basketball to the basket with a small hook hand, although now O'Neal can completely wipe Mutombo, rush directly to the basket, and use a powerful dunk to declare his dominance, but for reasons of saving physical strength, O'Neal finally chose to hook his hand, which is a more energy-saving offensive method.

"Shaq, be careful." It's just that when O'Neal made a shot, before he landed, he heard Peyton's shouting behind him, and after throwing the basketball out, he was waiting for the basketball to brush into the frame and listen to that beautiful note, but he saw a figure flying from his side, slapping the basketball that was still in the rising stage to the bottom line.

Not only O'Neal, but even Mutombo had an incredible expression on his face after seeing Meng Xu block O'Neal, in the defense just now, Mutombo, who was crushed by O'Neal with his strength, basically gave up the defense of O'Neal at the moment when O'Neal completed the turn, according to Mutombo and O'Neal's years of experience, as long as he was pushed away by O'Neal and completed the turn with the ball, no matter who defended O'Neal, he could only give up resistance. But to Mutombo's surprise, Meng Xu, who was far away from the 3-point line before O'Neal singled himself, appeared just right after O'Neal made a move, and sent O'Neal a hot pot.

"Shaq, be careful the next time you make a move, the Pacers aren't the only ones who are Dibaken." Meng Xu, who fell from the sky, looked at O'Neill with an angry face, and said calmly, after finishing speaking, Meng Xu also squeezed his eyes at Mutombo, who was not far from him.

"Bastard, you're looking for death!" When Meng Xu walked to the side of the court, ready to defend the Lakers' baseline ball, O'Neal, who had already come to his senses, looked at Meng Xu's back, clenched his fists, and at the same time gritted his teeth and creaked.
