Chapter 167: O'Neill's Career Review (Don't Subscribe!) )

No matter how strong "Big Shark" O'Neill is, he can't beat the injury troubles, and O'Neill announced on Weibo that he has retired. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the most classic moment of O'Neal's career is the Lakers dynasty founded with Kobe. O'Neal's retirement announced the end of an era and a farewell to his beloved basketball court. Many O'Neal fans never believed that O'Neal would announce his retirement so quickly.

In 1992, O'Neal joined the Orlando Magic as a top pick. In his rookie season, O'Neal showed his dominance under the basket, averaging 23.4 points and 13.9 rebounds per game, helping the team win 20 more games than last season and being voted the league's rookie of the year. By his second season, O'Neal had averaged a staggering 29.3 points and 13.2 rebounds per game, leading the team to the playoffs for the first time.

In 1994-95, O'Neal was the league's leading scorer and, with Hardaway's assistance, led the team to a high level in the playoffs. In the playoffs, O'Neal averaged 25.7 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, even in the finals against the "big dream" Olajuwon, O'Neal was not inferior in statistics, but in the end the Magic was swept out by the Rockets. In the 1995-96 season, O'Neal was plagued by injuries and missed 28 games, and the team was eliminated by Jordan's Bulls in the playoffs.

After the Magic failed to win a championship, O'Neal became a free agent in the summer of 1996 and moved to the West Coast to join the Los Angeles Lakers, signing a seven-year, $120 million contract. It was also here that O'Neal and Kobe Bryant kicked off a new dynasty for the Lakers. After three seasons of ups and downs, O'Neal met the noble man of his life in his fourth season with the Lakers, Phil Jackson. Under Jackson's leadership, O'Neal led the Lakers to an invincible victory, winning three consecutive NBA championships in 2000, 2001 and 2002, building a new dynasty. In the 1999-2000 season, O'Neal won the regular season MVP, Finals MVP and All-Star Game MVP.

In 2003, the Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Spurs. The following season, the Lakers invited Malone (Weibo) and Payton to join, but the Lakers of the "Four Heavenly Kings" were defeated by the Pistons in the Finals. It was also in that season that the conflict between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant completely intensified. In a 1-of-2 scenario, the Lakers traded O'Neal to the Heat. The Lakers era of the Big Sharks came to an end.

After switching to the Heat, O'Neal still had enough dominance, and he helped the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals in his first season, and ultimately lost to the Pistons. In 2006, O'Neal won the final championship of his career, and he and Wade were a tough opponent in the playoffs and reversed the Mavericks in the Finals. Wade was crowned MVP of the finals. After this season, O'Neal's dominance declined due to injury and age and he was traded to the Suns in the middle of the 2007-08 season.

To this day, most people still feel that O'Neal's move to the Suns was one of the biggest failures of his career. Nash's pure traditional point guard is clearly not in line with the big sharks' heavy taste. As expected, the Suns and O'Neal were both defeated. His only bright spot with the Suns may have been his 45 points and 11 rebounds against the Toronto Raptors on Feb. 27, 2009, the 49th game of his career in which he scored more than 40 points. He and the Suns also beat the Raptors 133-113. Unfortunately, the 2009 NBA playoffs were O'Neal's first absence from the playoffs since failing to make the playoffs in his rookie season in 1992-93.

After the Phoenix Sun swept away, the big shark chose to join the little emperor's knights. The Cavaliers finished the regular season with a league-best record of 61-21, and James was named the Most Valuable Player for the rest of his career. Unfortunately, after eliminating the Chicago Bulls, they ran into the Green Shirts and ended up 4-2 out of the tournament. After that, the earthlings knew that the little emperor defected and fled Miami, and the knights announced their disbandment. The big shark had no choice but to leave and find a new owner.

There is a saying that if I can't beat you, I'll join you. After losing to the Green Shirts, the Sharks chose to make a last-ditch effort and joined the Boston Celtics.

On November 24, 2010, O'Neal scored 25 points and 11 rebounds on 9-of-10 shooting in the Celtics' 89-83 home win over the Nets, becoming the seventh player in the NBA since 1986 to score more than 25 points and 10 rebounds in a single game after his 38th birthday. After all, this is a 38-year-old man, and he still plays the center position.

After the playoffs last season, O'Neal chose to retire due to injury. But the big shark is gone, and we'll miss you.
