The Los Angeles Lakers are currently holding out.
Rasheed Wallace emphatically opted for long-range shots against Shaquille but found it difficult to maintain an objective shooting pace under high-intensity confrontation.
The Trail Blazers made 1 of 7 three-pointers, and only Kenny Anderson made a three-pointer which made it difficult for Nick Van Exel's defense!
Shaquille O'Neal, who made no saves, should have easily received this backcourt rebound, but Jermaine O'Neal snatched it from Michael Udin with a thump, and charged at O'Neal's prized shark head.
How could Jemaine O'Neal, who loves to express himself, give up on such an opportunity? He wanted to fight in the duel of the O'Neal family!
Shaquille O'Neal is indeed a few players who commit violations on this ball. He just committed a foul on O'Neal Jr. He didn't want to get a second offense so soon!
Shaquille O'Neal could only raise his arms and jump straight up and down for symbolic defence, but with such a passive defense, Jermaine O'Neal who was hitting the basket still wanted to hit the wall. Limit adjustment is still a shot after the confrontation is over!
Only in grasshoppers! Michael Udin slaps the ball in with his left hand!
The strong inertia made Michael Udin instantly knock Jermaine O'Neal off the bottom line!
Michael Udin, who never performed well in the first quarter, made up for it with a beautiful Block!
With the cheers of the fans, the ball bounced straight to the feet of Kobe Bryant at the free throw line!
Floorball fight! The ball is stabbed to the sidelines by Kobe who falls to the ground!
Michael Udin rushed and rolled and grabbed without hesitation! Get the ball back to the limit!
Nick Van Exel rushed for the ball, and he made a quick straight line break against the Kenny Anderson defence!
Michael Udin, who fell into the auditorium, didn't bother to apologize to the audience who was hit, he got up in a panic and ran to follow up at full speed!
Nick Van Exel brought Kenny Anderson for a mid-air layup and missed!
Michael Udin, who got up after falling, ran in front of Rasheed Wallace. Michael Udin was about to redeem Dunk when he jumped. Rasheed Wallace pushed it smoothly, and Michael Udin was instantly unbalanced in midair!
Michael Udin, whose body is bent, is still hitting the ball with his left hand with his gentle touch!
The referee blows the whistle! Two points count! One more!
This attack and defense is the epitome of struggle in the playoffs, and every round is full of muscle-to-scratch!
Obviously, Michael Udin, who is more experienced in the regular season, is much more competitive than Jermaine O'Neal at this level of competition!
In the Portland Trail Blazers, Rasheed Wallace, who was in a similar position, pressed Jermaine O'Neal to death. If it weren't for the giant shark siege, the Blazer coach wouldn't randomly send this rare player a chance in the regular season to play!
After appearing on a stage like that, Jermaine O'Neal simply couldn't calm his restless emotions, this was the biggest gap between him and Michael Udin right now!
With Rasheed Wallace 2+1, Michael Udin roared and regained his composure. He knew that this was only the first game of the series, and the two teams were only at a tentative stage.
Walking to the free-throw line, Michael Udin made a solid hit and added the penalty score!
Los Angeles Lakers defender Rasheed Wallace is still obsessed with mid-range shooting, but as a second-year rookie visiting the Staples Center in the playoffs, it's hard for him to maintain the mentality of maintaining a normal field goal percentage.
Shaquille O'Neal's great shark jumps on the inside line and grabs a hard backcourt rebound!
Offensively and defensively, for Shaquille O'Neal's low-post single, Rasheed Wallace had no choice but to go around!
But as soon as the pass came, three Portland Trail Blazers with a height of more than two meters immediately double-teamed!
This time Shaq stopped attacking blindly. Before he was in a desperate situation, he shot the ball straight away. Shaq Shaq passes the ball to Robert Horry!
Robert Horry shoots from outside the three-pointer line! Jermaine O'Neal and Clifford Robinson jump together!
Robert Horry did not hesitate to shoot, and with his right hand, he distributed the ball to Michael Udin who was a few meters away!
Finally got the chance to play outside, Michael Udin should not waste Robert Horry's assist!
Left hand throw, empty punch!
After Sabonis came out, Michael Udin scored six points in a row!
"Count me Odin!"
As the champion player, Robert Horry did not budge in the first round of the playoffs, seeing Michael Udin finally opening up opportunities in the second quarter, he couldn't help but tease Michael Udin.
"Of course buddy!"
Michael Udin has a very good relationship with Robert Horry, Michael Udin cannot suffer at all in terms of technical statistics.
To stop the team's decline, Kenny Anderson regained control of the ball, he shouted for Rasheed Wallace to pick-and-roll!
Awakened by the scolding from the big man in the team, Rasheed Wallace could only obediently run outside and put up cover!
Although Rasheed Wallace has a very hot-tempered temper, but his basic offensive and defensive skills are still very solid, Rasheed Wallace's pick-and-roll will kill Nick Van Exel who wants to get past him!
Kenny Anderson takes on Shaquille O'Neal!
Realistic Beverly Kenny Anderson loses the great shark's center of gravity. Kenny Anderson lowered his head and went inside!
Jermaine O'Neal also followed Kenny Anderson inside to rush for an offensive rebound. Michael Udin did not catch O'Neal, who was full of rebounds. Michael Udin's goal was Kenny Anderson, the ball holder!
As a little guy who could make a living in the NBA, Kenny Anderson's layup has eyes in the back of his head!
He discovered that Michael Udin was waiting for an opportunity behind him, and Kenny Anderson was deliberately increasing his shooting speed and pick height!
It's just that this smart guard underestimated Michael Udin's athletic ability and defensive determination, Michael Udin followed Kenny Anderson with extraordinary steps!
The two took off one after another, Kenny Anderson was like a bird in flight, and Michael Udin was like an eagle looking for prey!
Kenny Anderson did not shy away from Michael Udin's move. While Michael Udin threw the ball into the air, he also deftly dodged the roof of the backboard that almost hit his head!
Suddenly, the ball hit the second floor of the auditorium, and the audience was captivated!
"Nice block!"
If he managed to redeem himself, the big shark would naturally want to push the wary Michael Udin away.
"Hmm.."
Michael Udin said very little today, he wants to enter the playoff mode he envisioned.
This ball fully established Michael Udin's tactical position in the playoffs. In the eyes of the Los Angeles Lakers coaching staff, the ability to make up for the weakness of the big shark in small matches and big matches is a very important tactical value for Michael Udin at this time.
