Chapter 417: The King of Kings in the Age of Kings
"Steal! Drexler steals from Karl Malone! OMG! "The Lakers players sat together to watch the final game of Houston against the Jazz, and the two teams played in the last minute made the Lakers players exclaim.
"It's incredible, steal from the hands of the MVP, and then run all over the court to complete a quasi-lore! Drexler's final crucial performance was more than enough to make up for his stealth earlier in the game. ”
Stockton's exquisite pass at the end passed through three people to Karl Malone, but the Jazz's final offense was still predicted by Olajuwon. Olajuwon's last awareness of co-defense, as well as his ability to block, are too BUG. Campbell was shocked that Olajuwon in the playoffs was not at the same level as the regular season.
Ball King! Olajuwon's performance in the playoffs is at the level of the king of the ball!
Like Kobe and Jordan, he is a man who can dominate the game. Even if Barkley was blown up by Karl Malone in this round of the series, but overall, it was Houston's penalty area that prevailed! Whether it's offensive and defensive performance or rebounding, Houston has a large lead over the Jazz, which is the key to their victory.
And Karl Malone had a chance to equalize the game and go into extra time at the end, but he was covered by Olajuwon.
Karl Malone's final performance was very stretched, first stealing by Drexler, and then blocked by Olajuwon, it can be said that one person buried the Jazz's good situation. The Jazz were the first to win the battle of Kings Mountain, and no one thought Houston could win when they led 3-2.
But the final winner is still Houston, and the media has scolded Carl Malone for not daring to read the newspaper in the past few days.
"The Most Water MVP!! 》
Dishonored Utah
"The Softest Muscle Man"
And so on, judging from the title, there are endless articles for Carl Malone to hold a meeting, even if Malone has gone home to fish, the media have not let go of the opportunity to whip him. Although he played equally well in the first few games, the drop of the chain at the crucial moment at the end said it all. Even die-hard Jazz fans feel a pang of angina when they see the images of Drexler's steals and Olajuwon's blocks.
Don't be angry! The chance to win was delivered to his hands, and Malone finally spit it out, such a performance comparison Although he is 35 years old, he is still invincible at the critical moment Olajuwon, it is simply a day and a day.
"Are we going to face such a big dream in the next round?" Big Ben said weakly, and the aggrieved tone matched with his burly body with an indescribable sense of disobedience.
"Don't panic! I'll take care of the big dream! Just kill Barkley's guy who joined if he couldn't beat him! O'Neill patted his chest confidently.
Finally, it's time to face Houston again!
Thinking of the picture of being swept by Olajuwon the year before last, O'Neill felt ashamed.
At that time, O'Neal and Penny were in high spirits, defeating the big devil Michael Jordan, and the two superstars in their early twenties reached the finals.
At that time, O'Neal felt that he was the god of professional basketball!
Chamberlain is alive!
No one! No one can defend themselves!
And Olajuwon gave O'Neill a slap in the face, making him wake up from his dream and return to reality.
Finished.
In four games, Olajuwon averaged 32.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.0 blocks, 2.0 steals and 2.8 turnovers per game.
O'Neal averaged 28.0 points, 12.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 0.3 steals, 2.5 blocks and 5.3 turnovers per game.
If you don't look at the hit rate and the number of turnovers, you may not feel too much of a disadvantage.
But in practice, O'Neill was educated very badly.
Olajuwon basically scored when he wanted to, and while defending against O'Neal, he still had the spare energy to help his teammates and assist Drexler in limiting Penny Hardaway.
Deluxler averaged 21.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.5 turnovers per game.
Penny Hardaway averaged 25.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 3.8 turnovers per game.
Drexler was still at the end of his peak that year, which was equivalent to two veteran superstars against two rising superstars. While most people weren't optimistic that the younger Magic would win the game, no one would have imagined that the Magic, who had two superstars, would be swept 4-0 in the Finals.
Even if the twin stars exert their strength and play a super god performance, they should win a game.
But no, O'Neal didn't do it in front of Olajuwon, and Hardaway didn't do it in front of Drexler.
The turnover rate of the twin stars is too high and too high, compared to Houston, which took the IN-OUT tactics to the extreme, so that the team's tactical movement had almost no chance to make mistakes. The Magic's team tactics and the anxious playing style of the stars are all immature.
Olajuwon is simply playing O'Neal in the palm of his hand, although his average points per game are 'only' 32.8 points, but everyone can see that he can cut O'Neal's head to an average of 40 points per game if he wants to!
Since then, Olajuwon has been the first of the four centers, and no one in this era of interior is the strongest center in the era of king on the inside is no longer qualified to challenge and compete. Even if Olajuwon lost to the SuperSonics last year, it didn't affect his status at all.
And O'Neal now finally has the chance to defeat the league's strongest center head-on!
As long as you defeat Olajuwon, as long as you can complete your revenge.
O'Neal will be able to snatch the throne of the league's No. 1 interior line! And O'Neill is only 25 years old now! How many years can he dominate the league's No. 1 center position?
Even if no one expected that the future of MLB would enter an era of withering centers, O'Neal has been a three-team member of the league's All-NBA team in the 08-09 season.
It is now widely believed that big men like O'Neal and Olajuwon will still emerge in the future, and even if there is a super interior line who can surpass O'Neal in the future, it will be at least after O'Neal is 32 years old. O'Neill has 7 years to dominate the league's No. 1 center!
This is O'Neal's chance, if he is defeated by Olajuwon again, then even if O'Neill wins the first place as a center forward in the future, it will be unjustifiable!
Just like Jordan's No. 1 man in the league was taken down by taking out the assassins and magic, Marlon's No. 1 forward in the league was taken down by taking out Barkley.
If you just wait for the superstars of the previous generation to grow old, then you can win without a fight. Just like the future James, he has never killed a player of the previous generation who was in his prime, such as the Green Kai Big Three, the Spurs GDP, and the Lakers Kobe.
It's about waiting for their veterans to wither, so James's first man in the league has always been found by some people not to be very convincing.
As long as O'Neal can defeat Olajuwon in this series, it will be his own throne, and this is an absolutely convincing record.
O'Neill will truly become the king of kings in the era of the inside line is king!
