In the end, Ratliff lost his "regrettable" punch, and went to the center circle with O'Neal to jump the ball.

Ratliffe and O'Neal jump the ball, and Ratliff actually wins! O'Neal was unhappy and jumped early when he jumped the ball, the jump ball was violated, Ratliffe lay down to win, and the Hawks attacked first.

Originally, Liu Mang was just to stir up the contradictions of the OK combination, so he messed with his teammates before jumping the ball and did things at the beginning, but the computer didn't expect it to have an effect from the beginning.

This proves that the contradictions of the OK combination have indeed reached the point where they are on the table.

The Eagles attacked first, served from the middle line, Raheem sent the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang advanced to outside the three-point line.

It was Kobe who defended Liu Mang, Liu Mang protected the ball when Kobe Bryant came up, Kobe didn't dare to stick Liu Mang too tightly, and he was too jealous of Liu Mang's ability to make fouls, and it was a whistle when he touched it, which was shameless.

Liu Mang looked at the situation of his teammates, O'Neal didn't care about Ratliff, who was pulled out to help people block and dismantle, just in and out near the three-second zone, just guarding the basket like that.

Not to mention, O'Neal is such a big man, squatting on the inside, with excellent movement and bounce and power, the Eagles' big center Ratliff has no mid-to-long-range shooting ability, and he can't even pull O'Neal out.

Faced with this situation, Liu Mang chose to block and dismantle, beckoned Ratliff to come out, and Liu Mang used Ratliff to break through from the right side! O'Neal still didn't care about Ratliff's blocking, just stayed under the basket, Liu Mang burst into the middle distance, and it was Wang Zhizhi who came to make up for the defense, Liu Mang immediately distributed the ball to Boozer, and Boozer's mid-range shot hit.

Liu Mang easily got the first assist.

than imagined...... Simple, Liu Mang is a little puzzled, this year's O'Neal's so-called defense has reached the best level of his career, how did he come to the conclusion? Or did O'Neill get today, and he played out of sorts?

Offense and defense transition, Lakers offense.

Fisher pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and Bryant and O'Neal asked for the ball at the top arc and the other under the basket.

Liu Mang said that he's the hell, he hasn't used the discord card yet, why did he start confrontation directly?

And the Lakers seem to be familiar with this kind of thing, Fisher did not hesitate and handed the ball to O'Neal as soon as possible.

"Ding...... Shaq O'Neal, Ability 98, Offense 105, Defense 84, Three-point 46, Shooting 59, Layup 100, Power 105, Speed 74......"

This defense has obviously dropped a lot compared to last season! But the media's defensive evaluation is higher than last season, and Liu Mang doesn't understand it.

Moreover, O'Neal's overall strength evaluation has dropped by 4 points compared to last season, although he is still the league's No. 1 center, but this year, O'Neal is obviously no longer Duncan's opponent, and he has not broken 100 ability values, so he can't completely suppress Kobe Bryant as before, under Kobe's character who is unwilling to succumb to others, the contradiction of the Lakers does not need Liu Mang to do anything, it already exists, and only needs the Hawks to do a little thing like the beginning, which is enough to put this contradiction directly on the table.

However, Ratliff was very sad, O'Neal received the ball under the basket, hit it directly on Ratliff, and carried Ratliff to smash the ball into the basket with one hand.

Can't stop it at all!

What is the best defensive player, whether it is last season's best defensive player, or this season's best defensive player The first favorite, Ben Wallace of the Pistons, meets O'Neal, if it is a single defense, it is all background, and fouls may not be done.

O'Neal is still so coquettish on the offensive end!

Liu Mang found that O'Neal couldn't be despised because of his ability value to 98, his decline was mainly the decline on the defensive end, and the defensive ability value fell below 85, as for the very strange why O'Neal's defensive evaluation this year is so good, Liu Mang has always been puzzled.

When it came to the Hawks' offense again, Liu Mang looked at the murderous aura in Kobe's eyes, and decided to avoid his edge, block and dismantle first, or want to pull O'Neal out and block and dismantle with Ratlleaf.

However, after Liu Mang cut in, O'Neal still didn't come over, and this time it was Fox who made up for the defense, Liu Mang immediately passed to Rahim, Rahim rushed to the basket, O'Neal immediately blocked it, and at this time Rahim divided the ball to Liu Mang who cut into the inside line after passing the ball, Liu Mang kept the racket to Ratliff who cut in, and Ratliff raised it high and threw it to score two points.

Lakers' defensive ...... It seems to be very different from the scouting report information received by Liu Mang and the evaluation of O'Neal's best defensive efficiency in his career advocated by the TV media!

After a few more rounds, the Lakers' offense is really good, no matter what contradictions they have, the OK combination is obsessed with restraint in the game, the single to attract the pinch attack to their offense, the score is to score, the tactics are to play the tactics, the offensive end is still powerful, the OK combination is almost invincible, O'Neal is declining in physical fitness and defense, the offensive end is still the strongest in the league, and Kobe Bryant already has the strength of the scoring king.

Defensively, though, the Lakers are nowhere near as good as rumored, and even ...... It's not as efficient as the last time when O'Neal wasn't there, and the Lakers worked together to play as efficiently!

As for O'Neal's legendary career-high defensive efficiency, after playing half a quarter of the game, Liu Mang understood how that defensive efficiency came about.

Liu Mang remembered the complaint that the future Dragon King Chris Bosh said in the 2008-2009 season after O'Neal scored more than 40 points at the age of 37.

O'Neill didn't leave the paint area for the entire game, and the referee didn't blow the foul.

Just like in this game, O'Neal did not leave the three-second zone once whether it was offensive or defensive, stood outside the three-second zone with one foot for two seconds, and even if he left, whether it was offensive or defensive, he did not leave the basket.

And who is O'Neill? The first person in the league today!

So far in NBA history, the only three consecutive champion MVPs, if it weren't for Russell's 11 championship rings that were too strong and invincible, O'Neal would have dared to be regarded by the media as the No. 1 center in history.

O'Neal didn't leave the basket, and the referee didn't blow the violation! This makes O'Neal's defense under the basket a huge threat, and it is extremely difficult for the Hawks to score in the three-second zone, most of them can only shoot from medium and long distances, especially after Ratliffe plays one high, O'Neal's defense under the basket is more furious, and the action is big, showing the home court advantage.

After 7 minutes of playing in the first quarter, O'Neal was stunned to guard the basket for more than half a quarter and only lost 4 points!

The Eagles looked good at the start, but they were hung up by the contradictory OK combination, 17-9, and the Eagles not only did not lead in the first half of the quarter, but fell behind by 8 points!
