As soon as Hua Twelve said something to Corvo, his vision began to blur, and the chaotic sounds of the stadium in his ears seemed to gradually fade away.
Darkness hits, and consciousness seems to be pulled away.
When he woke up again, he heard the cheers of mountains and tsunamis. Hua Twelve found that he was still standing on the court, but the fatigue from the game and fighting just now was gone. His whole person was filled with strength again, mentally and physically.
It has also returned to its best condition.
Next to him is Corvo, and then there are Lakers teammates standing around him, including fisherman Fisher.
But the difference from before is that a moment ago it was the Mosaic team's home court, and this time it was a purple and gold stadium.
Just when he was fully awake, a memory was quickly absorbed by him. This was a memory related to Shaquille O'Neal in the 2001 season.
After receiving this memory, Hua Twelve knew that this was the start of event two.
The current time point should be the first game of the 2001 Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Philadelphia 76ers game, which takes place at the Staples Center, the home court of the Lakers.
At this time, the game has not yet started, and the starting five of the Lakers and 76ers all walked onto the court to prepare for the kickoff.
As the first game of the finals, today's game has attracted worldwide attention. Nearly 200 countries and regions around the world have used more than 40 languages to broadcast or broadcast this game live.
The stadium was star-studded, and the sidelines were filled with celebrities from all walks of life who came to watch the game. While "Hua Twelve" was pretending to wave to the fans with his teammates, he even caught a glimpse of the popular Britney Spears, the movie star.
Nicholson and other big stars.
When Hua Twelve looked at the celebrities sitting on the sidelines, he heard someone shouting:
"Shaq, I'm your fan!"
Hua Twelve followed the sound and saw the famous star Stallone and Terminator, who would later become the governor, standing on the sidelines, waving to him excitedly. He smiled and waved over there, shouting:
"Sylvester, Arnold, I'm a fan of yours too!"
The two tough guys on screen laughed so hard that they shouted again:
"Shaq, kill them like you killed Charles Barkley!"
Hey..., what do you mean, it's like killing Barkley?
It's no wonder that he found it strange, because in the real world, others would never say that. I'm afraid they would only say this to Barkley. After all, the media reported that O'Fatty was beaten.
Hua Twelve's heart moved. Could it be that the timelines of event one and event two are connected?
He first made an OK gesture to Rambo and the Terminator, then turned to Kobe beside him and asked in a low voice:
“Have you been on a helicopter lately?”
Kobe's face darkened when he heard this, and he said depressedly:
"Hey Shaq, please don't mention this. Last time I went to the Grand Canyon with Vanessa. Because I didn't fly in a helicopter, she still laughs at me for being a coward. I really regret agreeing to such a boring request of yours!
"
Hua Twelve couldn't help laughing when he heard this. It was better to be laughed at by his wife for being timid than to have an accident later. Kobe's answer confirmed his suspicion that the timelines of incident one and incident two were indeed connected.
At this time, players from both sides of the game walked to the midfield to prepare for the kickoff.
A little man wearing a black No. 3 jersey of the 76ers and a slicked-down hairstyle came over with great aura and greeted O'Neal and Kobe.
Hua Twelve's eyes lit up and he immediately recognized the other party's identity.
Allen Iverson!
The greatest No. 3 in league history, and also one of his basketball idols, well... one.
If we were in a different place, if he was not O'Brien, and if this was not the battlefield for the upcoming finals, he would definitely run over to Allen for an autograph as soon as possible.
But at this time, the most important thing for Hua Twelve is not to ask Allen for his autograph, but to defeat him in this game and let the Lakers sweep the 76ers.
After hitting Iverson's palms, Hua Twelve smiled and said:
"Hey, Allen, are you ready to be swept away by us?"
Iverson showed an unruly smile:
"Shaq, you know trash talk is useless to me. I'm not afraid of anyone on the court, and I'm not afraid of any challenges!"
Hua Twelve did not speak, but gave Iverson a thumbs up. This does not represent O'Neal, but represents himself, sincerely!
The players on both sides are in position, the Lakers' starting five, Fisher, Kobe, Fox, Grant, and O'Neal.
The 76ers' starting five, Iverson, McGee, Jumaine Jones, Te'Lon Hill, Mutombo.
As the referee blew the whistle, the basketball was thrown high. Hua Twelve relied on O'Pang's physical fitness to quickly jump up and grab the basketball before Mutombo. He hooked the basketball into his own half and fell to Xiaoyu Fei.
In Sher's hands.
After the jump ball, Hua Twelve immediately ran to the opponent's penalty area and successfully landed. The defensive pressure brought by Uncle Mu behind him was nothing to his body.
Fisher took two steps and then passed a direct pass with both hands to Kobe, who was already in position on the left side of the three-point line.
Based on Hua Twelve's understanding of Corvo, he shot the ball directly, but he forgot that this was not Kobe who later became the team leader.
Corvo feinted with the ball, and then passed the ball directly over. Obviously, the first goal of the opening game should be scored by O'Pang, the boss of the team.
Hua Twelve leaned against Uncle Mu, exerted a lot of force, squeezed out a space to shoot, and then used an elegant and soft turning hook that didn't seem to match his figure to score two points.
Easy and freehand!
Hua Twelve turned his head and smiled at Uncle Mu: "Come on Di Canbi, you almost guarded me!"
His words were the very famous trash talk Jordan used to criticize Payton. At this time, Hua Twelve took it and used it directly to criticize Uncle Mu.
It's not that he doesn't respect people, it's that trash talk is a part of the NBA. The way to use troops is to attack the heart first, to subjugate the opponent's troops without fighting, and to use the best position.
Mutombo's ability has always been inferior to that of a super center, and he is not as good as O'Neal. If he can be angered by trash talk or make his mood fluctuate, it will be of great benefit to the Lakers.
It's a pity that Uncle Mu has no expression, his face is indifferent, the African mountains can be seen very clearly, and the opponent is O'Neal!
Not to mention him, there are other four major centers. Except for Olajuwon who suppressed Olajuwon when he was a young shark for several years, the rest of them have not suffered under the ruthless crushing of the Sharks.
Woolen cloth.
Seeing that Uncle Mu was not fooled, Hua Twelve was not disappointed. He just smiled and quickly returned to defense.
The 76ers served the ball and received two passes to the Lakers backcourt. Iverson shot from the left and missed two points.
Hua Twelve shouted to Kobe:
"Hey, Kobe, you have to pay attention. Either you shoot three-pointers, mid-range shots or breakthroughs. Anyone who shoots big two-pointers is a fool!"
Kobe: "..."
Iverson: "..."
On the 76ers side, Iverson passed the ball to Aaron McGee in the left corner and took the opportunity to shoot a corner three-pointer as a response.
Originally, 76ers fans thought that this three-pointer would be a good start, but after this three-pointer, except for Iverson making a foul on Fisher and earning 2 points with a free throw, there was no score in the next few minutes.
For the Lakers, Fox's touch was supposed to be explosive in history. Together with O'Neal, he led the Lakers to beat the 76ers 16-2, but this time Hua Twelve decided to be reckless first. He made 6 of 7 shots with all his strength.
Including 4 of 4 free throws, he scored 16 points in a row.
Under the possession of Hua Twelve, O'Pang's free throws shocked everyone. When did the Sharks' free throws become so accurate?
In fact, they don't know that this is not O'Neal's level, but Hua Twelve's level. Although this guy is a fake football fan, he still likes to play basketball very much. His other skills are so-so, but his free throw shooting is still quite good.
.
There are two players in the NBA who are recognized as unsolvable. One is the God of Basketball, Jordan, and the other is O'Neal. However, compared to the God of Basketball, the Sharks still have an obvious weakness, and that is free throws.
The 50% free throw shooting rate gave birth to a tactic specifically formulated to limit O'Fat,...the shark-cutting tactic.
But now Hua Twelve has replaced O'Neal and has successfully made up for this shortcoming, making the Sharks truly invincible at the basket.
Hua Twelve was in high spirits. After scoring one after another, Uncle Mu, who was guarding him, finally lost his strength. When he forced himself to dunk, he suddenly felt a pain in his ribs, lost his strength, and the ball in his hand was also hit.
People are snatched away in an instant.
Only when he reacted did he realize that when he took off just now, he had been hit by Uncle Mu's elbow.
Seeing Iverson already holding the ball and rushing forward, he made a crossover in disguise, passed Kobe, and scored with a right-hand basket.
Hua Twelve complained to the referee on the sidelines, telling him that he had been elbowed just now.
But the referee on the sidelines said he didn't see it and urged Hua Twelve to go back to the game.
Hua Twelve was a little depressed. He knew that the referee's statement that he didn't see it must be true, because Uncle Mu was more subtle when he made his move, but you should watch the replay anyway.
Looking at the referee's attitude, Hua Twelve felt a little relieved when he thought about the benefits that one more game in the Finals would bring to the league. It seemed that the Lakers' sweep of the championship was not what the league and David Stern wanted to see.
Hua Twelve can actually understand this kind of business consideration, but now that he has accepted the task, he cannot let history repeat itself.
Immediately I grit my teeth, isn't it just a small trick? It seems that no one can do it. How can I bring a ball in a fight?
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe dribbled the ball across half court. When he was about to hand it over to Fisher to organize the offense, he saw O'Neal, who had not yet reached the three-point line, reaching for the ball.
