Chapter 254: Face Up! O'Neill's weakness

The celebrities made efforts one after another, and after a few rounds, the situation of the two teams reversed instantly.

Journalists, the audience was dumbfounded, as time goes on, after many superstars retire from the NBA, one unique skill will disappear. And the recreation of their stunts by these celebrities made everyone feel more familiar.

But all this annoyed a big demon king, Shaquille O'Neal.

Of course, the big sharks who were brought in by the big money in the summer are going to make a difference with the Bobcats, these celebrities have been his opponents once, and he was not afraid in his childhood, let alone now.

I saw that the big shark was angry, went on a rampage, and stuck Ewing on the inside, and the two fought hard.

If Ewing is a towering ancient tree, then O'Neill at this time is a big shark that sets off stormy waves, and a bloodthirsty momentum is coming.

The big shark got stuck in position, his eyes were crossed, and Josh quickly hoisted the ball in. As a rookie, he doesn't have much say in the team, and it is only right to please the big guys.

The big shark holding the ball is like a demon god of the mixed world, and its back hits Ewing violently, which is the ultimate mystery and embodiment of power, one is against the landslide and tsunami, and the other is against the earth and shakes the sky...... Without supporting it for three times, the big shark had already carved out the space, and one step stronger, the big shark-style hands violently filled the frame.

O'Neill responded as if nothing had happened, but as long as the audience had witnessed it just now, they all felt palpitations for such a performance. This is the purest performance of power, and the most outrageous and unreasonable attack.

O'Neal once complained in his autobiography that Abdul-Jabbar didn't coach him once in his Lakers career. This complaint caused a war of words between the two great centers in the history of the Lakers.

But Abdul-Jabbar's response was interesting, saying that he had been invited by coach Dale Brown to come to Louisiana State University to teach O'Neal the trick, but Brown soon told Abdul-Jabbar that O'Neal's father thought his son should focus on relying on his strength to go to the basket.

"As a professional, I've never been close to Shaq because I think he's quite successful in a lot of ways and he doesn't want help from me," Abdul-Jabbar said, "and I've never been on any team's coaching staff. I've never been unkind to him, I talk to him, but Shaq always enjoys his success and does things his way. He never asked me what I thought he should do, and he never tried to ask for my advice, and I certainly respected his decision. ”

Abdul-Jabbar is basically now in the top three, if not two, of NBA history. Not to mention the honor of the all-time scoring champion, even Boss Joe can't compare to his 6 crowns and 6MVP alone.

But even Abdul-Jabbar believes that O'Neal doesn't need to ask him for advice, he feels that O'Neill is quite successful in many aspects and doesn't need his help, so he doesn't take the initiative to stand up and say that he wants to coach him.

O'Neal's title of the most dominant center is not self-proclaimed, and no one can convince the public with the title of the strongest center in history, but the most dominant center in history, as long as you have watched O'Neal play, will agree.

O'Neal's dominance under the basket is devastating, in his field, as long as he encounters, all of them are bitten to pieces by him, you can look at the best defensive player in 01, a defensive center, how Uncle Mu was eaten raw in the finals.

Is Ewing's defense better than Uncle Mu's, obviously not, Ewing couldn't stand O'Neal and was beaten four or five in a row, so Malone also came to help, but it was still ineffective. Carl Malone also looks strong, but Malone is only 2.06 meters, and the tonnage difference between the two is a whopping 80 pounds. The gap is enough to constitute a crush.

The two-man defense still didn't stop O'Neal's frantic squeezing, bumping, smashing, and splitting under the basket, and the super wrecking king king was destroying the confidence of the celebrities little by little.

Although Barkley and Jordan scored one after another, after halftime, the famous team fell behind by 5 points. O'Neal is always a big problem, and it will be difficult to achieve this victory if he does not limit his play.

The celebrities discussed together at halftime, of course, their basketball IQ is also top-notch, even if not top-notch, everyone has played thousands of games in their careers, and their understanding of the game is not comparable to ordinary people. It didn't take long for them to discuss a countermeasure.

And here, O'Neal is still accepting the admiration of Howard and other rookies, and he doesn't realize that the crisis is coming.

The celebrity team served, Payton came up, and the Magic came off the court to rest, and his fat body type was indeed not suitable for the point guard position. He can't move the ball smoothly, and it's okay to be a playmaker on the court, but it's not a good point guard.

Payton was still playing in the Finals a few months ago, and his strength has not completely deteriorated, and he is much more fluid with the dribble than Magic. A couple of sideways dodges came to the three-point line, while O'Neal was still enjoying the dominance of the basket.

Suddenly, Ewing gave up his confrontation and ran out of the penalty area. O'Neal subconsciously kept up, Ewing was known for his mid-range shooting in his career, and he was the most capable of shooting among the four major centers, and it was clear that his mid-range shot could not put O'Neal. However, Ewing's feet move so slowly, O'Neal is not worried, don't look at O'Neal's huge size, but his feet are not slow at all, but much faster than many interior lines who are known for their footwork.

O'Neal was close behind, but he found that Ewing was sticking to Wade for a pick-and-roll, and on the other side Malone was also sticking to Wade for a pick-and-roll.

What's going on, double gear pick-and-roll.

Payton walked from Malone's side, and Ewing didn't let that stop him from pulling his pick-and-roll. At this time, Malone instead used Ewing's block to cut to the other side of the court.

O'Neal looked at Ewing and Malone in the face of each other, who should be guarded against, but he soon knew.

Malone received Payton's ground-and-shoot pass, and O'Neal remembered to pounce forward, but Malone took a direct jump shot from inside the three-point line and hit an unguarded mid-range shot.

O'Neal picked up the ball in frustration and slapped it with his big palm, but he didn't expect that in the next second round, he would be deflated again.

This time it was Ewing and Payton who directly blocked and dismantled, and after Ewing withdrew, O'Neal was blocked by Wade and Payton's entanglement, and the defense was not timely, and he watched Ewing hit an unguarded mid-range shot.

O'Neal came back to his senses, this trick seems familiar to him, in the 96-99 season, when he first came to the Lakers, he was beaten by the Jazz's Marlon Stockton blocking combination every time, and there were two direct playoff conversations, including another 4-0 sweep.

At that time, O'Neal was abused because he couldn't prevent the block and dismantle, couldn't pull out, and after that, Stockton was old, and O'Neill hadn't seen this trick for a long time. Now that he saw it again, he was still beaten to the point where he had no temper.

O'Neal is huge, certainly invincible under the basket, but tough to defend and pick-and-roll. One is that it is difficult to run, and the other is also difficult to squeeze through the block, which is the same problem as Yao Ming's weight gain, he is afraid of blocking.

The Jazz easily won several rounds of the playoffs with the help of basket monsters like O'Neal and Yao Ming. Stockton and Malone met O'Neal in 96-99, and Delon and Boozer met Yao Ming in 05-08, which is so well arranged, and these years are also the peak years of the Jazz.

O'Neal's huge weakness is also plaguing Hu Qingniu, and he will inevitably have to face other teams to deal with this super center in the new season.
