Jiang Dongbing didn't act too hastily and sent Mayberry on the field first. He just wanted to give O'Neal some deterrence, and by the way, when the score was anxious, he could establish some advantages and enhance the players' confidence.

Sure enough, seeing O'Neal, the most difficult player in the Lakers lineup, being targeted by his own team, the Grizzlies players became more energetic. By the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies already held a 7-point lead.

After the start of the second quarter, his team had just used up the number of fouls. Jiang Dongbing immediately sent in fringe players and sent O'Neal ten free throws.

"Brad, and Jermaine, you two remember, after the second half of the game starts, you two have to intimidate O'Neal from time to time."

"If there is such an unstoppable attack, don't hesitate to send him to the free throw line immediately." Before the start of the second half, Jiang Dongbing told his two inside generals.

The two of them nodded solemnly. In the first game, they were bullied so much by O'Neal that they were beaten. Now that they finally have a way to restrict O'Neal, they are happier than anyone else.

…

Jiang Dongbing sat quietly on the sidelines with no expression on his face, but it was this look that made O'Neal feel extremely evil.

In the first half, O'Neal made a total of 25 free throws, but only made 10. In addition to scoring in sports games, he scored a total of 14 points in the entire first half.

It seems that fourteen points in the half are a lot of points. Many center players may not be able to score fourteen points in a game.

But these fourteen points took the Lakers fourteen offensive rounds, which means that in each offensive round, O'Neal only scored one point. This kind of offensive efficiency is definitely not O'Neal's normal level.

O'Neal's shooting percentage at the basket this season is 79.2%. That's right, it's close to 80%!

Based on this shooting percentage, in the original 14 offensive rounds, O'Neal could score 11 goals and score at least 22 points!

But now there are only 14 points in the account, which is at least eight points missing. It would be strange if O'Neal is not so angry that he goes crazy.

By the second half, the Lakers already had a somewhat demoralized atmosphere. Head coach Rambis was so angry that his face was livid. He had seen the shark-killing tactic before, but he had never seen anyone use it so ruthlessly.

What is the concept of twenty-five free throws in a half? O'Neal's single-game free throw record to this day is 22!

It means that O'Neal has already broken O'Neal's career single-game free throw record in just half time tonight. If he continues like this, Rambis has reason to believe that O'Neal's total number of free throws tonight may reach 50!

In addition, the NBA's single-game free throw record, currently the highest is only 28, which was created by Malone in the 1996 game against the Heat. There is no doubt that O'Neal will easily break this record tonight!

"We will definitely witness the birth of a miracle tonight!"

"What miracle?"

"The single-game free throw record in NBA history has been far exceeded!" Various media outlets commentating on this game were also dumbfounded by the number of free throws O'Neal made.

…

After the third quarter, the Grizzlies had established a lead of up to 15 points. Jackson and other shooters were gradually getting hotter. With O'Neal's hands tied, it was not surprising that such a point difference could be achieved.

The Lakers players also knew that the reason why they fell behind was due to O'Neal's free throws, but they all dared to be angry and dare not speak out. No one dared to blame O'Neal's free throws.

Glen Rice, as a foreigner who just joined the Lakers, definitely does not have the qualifications.

Kobe is still too young and has not yet secured his second position on the team. He is not qualified to criticize O'Neal.

As for other people, they are definitely not qualified.

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and further widened the point difference. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers by 21 points at their home court and successfully won the second game of the series!

This can be regarded as revenge for the first game. They were beaten by the Lakers in the last game, and they were beaten again in this game.

Jiang Dongbing finally had a smile on his face. It was a pleasure to win this game. Although the process was quite constipating. The most popular thing in the audience was O'Neal's free throws, but it was a pleasure to win the opponent.

O'Neal, who made 25 free throws in the first half, made slightly fewer free throws in the second half, only 17, but the total was as high as 41 free throws, which also greatly broke Malone's single-game free throw record.

It seems that this number of free throws seems to be unimaginable, but as a future person, Jiang Dongbing doesn't feel much, mainly because of the later player Warcraft Howard, who had a record of 39 free throws in a single game during the regular season, and it was still

twice.

Needless to say, this record is definitely a record achieved through shark-killing tactics.

In addition, O'Neal actually has a playoff record of 39 free throws in a single game, and it happened very recently, in the 2000 playoffs.

…

As usual, at the end of the game, players from both sides had to shake hands and greet each other, but O'Neal left the game angrily.

This game was a complete torture for O'Neal. He didn't want to stay on this nightmare court for a second.

Jiang Dongbing had a smile on his face and didn't care about O'Neal's actions. If it were him, being targeted like this by his opponent, his demeanor would definitely not be better than O'Neal's.

"Coach, this tactic is really amazing."

"In the next three games, we will work hard to kill the Lakers directly!"

"It turns out that O'Neal is not that difficult to deal with!" The Grizzlies swept away the original haze of defeat.

After the last game, O'Neal, a buggy player, really left a psychological shadow on Miller and O'Neal. But after tonight, they discovered that this bug is not without its shortcomings, and there are ways to limit it.

Since then, Grizzlies players have become more confident in this series. They are confident that they can defeat the Lakers in the next three games and then successfully advance to the Western Conference Finals.

…

After the game, Jiang Dongbing's application of the shark-cutting tactic tonight opened the eyes of the entire league. It turns out that the shark-cutting tactic can be used so thoroughly and ruthlessly.

Some people felt that Jiang Dongbing's tactics were too ugly, making the originally exciting game extremely ugly and devoid of any beauty.

Others, such as veterans like Nelson, praised Jiang Dongbing and believed that Jiang Dongbing's use of shark-cutting tactics was extremely subtle and successfully limited O'Neal's performance.
