The Lakers are the strongest lineup to fight against the Nets, and power forward Karl Malone made a comeback three days ago.

As the famous Iron Man of the NBA, Malone missed only 11 games in his 18 years of career before joining the Lakers, 5 of which were still suspended.

This season, he began to suffer from injuries.

When you are old, you can't accept it.

Because the "Big Shark" O'Neal doesn't like to defend the pick-and-roll, Malone is the inside pillar of the Lakers' defensive system.

In the more than 20 games he was absent, the Lakers could only reuse Medvedko, who is known as the "Ukrainian softie", which is the reason for their decline in record performance.

The Nets are now ranked first in the league with 42 wins and 13 losses, surpassing the Kings 42 wins and 15 losses. The Lakers have a record of only 37 wins and 20 losses, half-time behind the Spurs and rank fourth in the Western Conference.

That night, TNT Radio broadcast live. Barkley first analyzed the gossip of both sides and the advantages and disadvantages of the lineup before the game.

Barkley's commentator does not rely solely on "big mouths". He is also the best in commentary on basketball knowledge, and he comes with a lot of data at a glance.

As an old opponent, he admires Karl Malone very much and believes that he is an indispensable member of the Lakers. "The key to whether the Lakers can win today lies in Malone's defense. It is fast to defend the pick-and-roll, which is not easy for the veteran."

"Depending on the reputation of the players, the Lakers are obviously dominant, but the Nets have also made progress this season. Perhaps they can rely on mobility to deal with the Lakers. I am more optimistic about the Lakers." Smith said.

Nets: Kid Kitels Wang Jun Martin Collins.

Lakers: Payton Kobe Fox Malone O'Neal.

Except Kobe, all the Lakers are veterans.

The Nets sent Kittles to defend Kobe. He was better than Jefferson in defense and breakthroughs. The two were about the same height and could interfere with shooting.

Both sides jumped the ball, O'Neal won, and the game began.

Payton took the ball to the frontcourt and played pick-and-roll with O'Neal.

O'Neal is huge and can completely block his opponent.

Payton broke through on the left and made a quick stop and jump shot. Martin was defending Malone, and Collins was afraid of O'Neal's empty cut, so he was not very active in switching defense.

Payton averaged only 125 shots this season, but he still scored 146 points and 55 assists. His shooting percentage was 471. He slowed down his defense and made a steady jump shot. 0 to 2.

When the net team attacked, Wang Jun relied on cover to get rid of it, and found that the situation was very different from what he thought.

Judging from the Lakers' defensive formation, O'Neal was fixed at the low post. Malone was in the middle and the other three were rotating. After Wang Jun avoided Fox, Kobe was replaced.

Wang Jun pretended to be a fake, and before he dribbled the ball, Kobe slapped the ball with his right hand and moved very quickly.

Then, Kobe pushed the ball forward with his left hand and started at full speed. He competed with Wang Jun who turned around to get the basketball and got a single fast attack.

Wang Jun was completely thrown away. Watching Kobe dunk with one hand. 0 to 4.

He often sees people commenting on the news that Kobe's physical fitness is not good, and it depends entirely on his acquired efforts, and the results of training at 4 a.m.

How can a person who has become the dunk king have poor quality? Kobe is obviously the top in the league, but his reference is often Jordan, so he is said to be unsatisfied.

Combining the speed, strength, flexibility, and coordination, there are not many people in the league who dare to say that they must be stronger than Kobe.

The Nets attacked, Kittels received the ball while running, Malone replaced defense. Kittels made a quick move and missed the rebound by O'Neal.

In the Lakers' positional battle, Payton slowly led the half.

The veterans are so powerful. They don’t play with young people. They rely on experience to play basketball and know how to save physical strength, and turn their own disadvantages into advantages.

Payton passed the ball to Fox, who hung the ball to O'Neal on the right and ran to the bottom corner. Kobe reached 60 degrees and formed a triangle.

O'Neal fights Collins one-on-one.

The two have a big difference in size. In the 2002 finals, O'Neal beaten Collins without any temper. Now O'Neal is older, but he is still confident of hitting him.

He moved his back to the middle with two steps, and no one came up to double-team. He swayed his left foot as the axis, his right shoulder lightly, and turned to the bottom line to shoot.

Collins is a tough guy. He fought O'Neal with all his strength and did not allow the opponent to squeeze into the basket easily. However, O'Neal doesn't dunk every time. His turn and one-handed throwing shot is a unique skill. It is difficult to block the space by relying on his body to gain space. Collins tried his best to fight against people, and was squeezed and couldn't jump up.

O'Neal easily played cricket, 0-6.

The Nets attacked, Kidd beat Malone in the middle, shook out of space, missed the jump shot, and O'Neal grabbed the rebound again.

When they arrived in the frontcourt, the Lakers were still waiting for O'Neal, and Kobe Fox made a triangle.

Collins continued to defend alone, O'Neal squeezed the same move twice, turned around to the bottom line, Collins failed to cover the ball, and the ball was 0-8.

This year, O'Neal averaged only 21 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Both data were new lows after entering the league. Many people said he was old.

Some people also saw news about Kobe and O'Neal fighting each other, saying that he did not work hard and ignored his efforts in the inside and his injuries.

Due to the limited attack distance, O'Neal had to move closer to the basket.

Scoring goals at low posts is a symbol of inside dominance, but you also have to risk more injuries.

Since 2002, O'Neal has been injured in his feet. He is very heavy and has to bear a lot of burden on his feet and knees.

Moreover, his playing time is more than 35 minutes a year. Under such conditions, how could he risk a stress fracture and practice like Kobe, who weighs only 95 kilograms?

The Zen master once said that O'Neal's injury has never been healed 100 years, and it is not easy to have a peak period for several years.

Few people know that O'Neal's abdominal muscle strain is permanent, causing him to not be able to jump hard. This is why O'Neal's rookie career is the highest.

Just imagine a rookie can score 139 rebounds and 35 blocks in the season without being affected by injuries. What height can the defense reach?

This injury often recurs, causing O'Neal to miss a lot of games, and his big toe on his right foot was also an old injury.

In the peak 9900 season, O'Neal won almost all the honors, scoring champion MVP in the regular season, second rebound, third block, MVP in the finals, best lineup, best defensive team, and second best defensive player. His efficiency is the first in many seasons.

O'Neal's dominance is shady. Even if the data hit a career low, it is still a super insider, not something Collins can defend against it alone.

The Nets attacked, Kittles made another jump shot, and the Lakers' positional battle continued to give O'Neal.

The Sharks arched twice after receiving the ball, turned around and attacked Corinth for a foul.

O'Neal made one of two free throws, 0-9.

The Nets attacked, Kidd and Martin picked and rolled the ball in the middle, Kidd dribbled the ball to the left, opening the space, and Martin cut into the inside.

Kidd passed the ball to the middle, and Martin was preparing to use a dunk to increase morale and went to the basket.

O'Neal let go of Collins to make up for defense, jumped very high, and pressed his right hand accurately on the basketball, destroying Martin's dunk and knocking him over the ball to the ground.

A lean shark is bigger than a horse.

The referee did not blow the whistle, the Lakers' fast break, Kobe scored a layup with Kittles singles.0-11.

The nets were very difficult to play in the game. To be continued.
