Chapter 315: Bring the Rhythm
"Am I that awesome? Am I so awesome? I'm too awesome, right? ”
Battle himself didn't believe in what had happened, and although he had always been confident in his body, after seeing the brutes on the Lakers, he knew that he couldn't use his power advantage to do whatever he wanted in the NBA.
At this stage, his strength has not actually increased to 99, and the accurate value at this time is 94, which is still a little short of Mason's real 99 strength data.
Mason and O'Neal are both 99 strength, but the two are very different, and if they were to go for bench presses and squats, then Mason would definitely beat O'Neal. But in actual combat, it is different, the ability to fight is not only strength, there are many links that will affect the final result of confrontation.
This is an example, O'Neill is definitely stronger than Battle at this stage, but he was unsteady on his feet at the time, his body lost its center of gravity, and it would be good not to be knocked off. In the same way, Lloy Ott, who had just been in shock for 20 seconds, was also at an extreme disadvantage to confront Battle, which was not surprising at all.
Battle has become famous in this attack, and with this performance alone, he has to blow it all his life.
After O'Neill sat on the floor for a long time, he finally realized what had happened to him, and the pair of bull's eyes immediately turned red, this person was afraid that he was thrown into the Indian Ocean, which was a stain on his life!
If Battle is still a little unconfident in his skills, he is not at all stunned when he sees O'Neal staring at a pair of bulls' eyes rushing to his side with his teeth and claws, and posing as if he is about to make a move.
"What are you staring at?"
Seeing this, Battle showed an evil look on his face, and directly pushed it over with his chest.
Just kidding, as a man with a horse, he likes to fight or something, and the natural skill of "Mongolian wrestling" is guaranteed to make O'Neill fly out sideways in the next second.
"I'm glaring at you!"
O'Neill is a typical bullying and fear of hard character, he has actually been cowardly in his heart, originally thought that a Chinese player would definitely not be able to stand his awesome aura, but after rushing to the side, he found that it seemed that this Mongolian's aura was stronger, and that face was really scary.
"Stupid!"
Battle's national scolding made O'Neill confused again, but the Chinese fans in front of the TV can know what the bus said through lip syncing, which is so relieving!
Zhang Qi laughed and peed off the court, Battle has practiced wrestling since he was a child, don't look at O'Neill's big circle, if he really fights, it is estimated that he will be hugged and thrown again.
O'Neill did remember the power of the Mongols, and the Europeans and Americans were still very afraid of the Mongols, after all, Europe was almost conquered by the Mongols.
So in this case, he feels that it is extremely disadvantageous for him to really do it, because the opponent is just a water cooler player, he is the cornerstone of the Clippers, and the superstar in the league is second only to Zhang Qiu, there is no reason to see such a small role!
As soon as the fat shark thought of this, he happened to see the referee rushing over, immediately put down a few words, and went back to defend as soon as he turned around.
"Well done, that guy ran away."
"God, you actually overturned that monster!?"
"Munch, you're such a super Mongolian wild horse!"
“…………”
This will make the Lakers players run to Battle's side to celebrate, but the description of "Big Mustang" shouldn't be praised, right?
Battle's offense greatly demoralized the Clippers, although O'Neal was bent on revenge, but Battle's lower body strength was solid enough, O'Neal hit Mason with his back two or three times to squeeze in, but in the face of Battle, he had to slap three or four times in a row to enter the paint area, and Ben had already helped defend in place.
"Pass the ball!"
The Zen master is eager to go up and do it for him on the sidelines, even if Lloy Ott is temporarily off the court, their No. 4 position is also an inside line with mid-range shooting ability, this configuration is that when O'Neal attracts the bag, there are open shooting opportunities, but if O'Neal doesn't pass the ball, it's all over.
O'Neal's head is hot right now and he has no idea of passing. The game was played in the second half of the third quarter, he only scored a dozen points, and his performance was really like a horse, and he was just humiliated by Battle again, and now if he doesn't fight back, where will he go in this life?
"Lessons learned!"
Zhang Qi began to sympathize with O'Neill off the field, this fat man didn't know that it was easier to be tragic to fight like this, but think about it from another perspective, if he lost such a big face, then he would have no normal heart, how could he not get the field back?
Of course, if it weren't for the fat man himself being too light and arrogant, he wouldn't have fallen into the current situation.
With more than 6 billion people in the world, who knows what kind of monsters there will be?
So you still can't look down on people too much. In the final analysis, this is still his own doing, and he can't follow in such footsteps in the future.
O'Neal played the third quarter like this, although there were two wonderful performances of still scoring the ball under the bag of Battle and Big Ben, but there were also many misses, and such offensive efficiency could not chase points.
Battle has finally shown his worth, he is far from inexperienced, and he has too little run-in with the team to play at this level.
But there are exceptions to everything, O'Neal's mentality has collapsed in the third quarter, the offense is basically hard-hitting, and the coordination has become very rare, this style of play is with Battle's appetite, coupled with Big Ben's bag, O'Neal can't play efficiently It is normal.
In the fourth quarter, O'Neal finally calmed down, because the score had become 104:68, and the Lakers used a bench lineup with little offensive ability in the second half of the third quarter, but the difference remained above 35 points, and the Clippers did not recover many points.
At this time, O'Neill finally calmed down.
But in the fourth quarter, when Mutombo and Mason were standing in front of him, plus Zhang Mao, the dead fat man's forehead sweated, and drops of cold sweat quickly dripped down.
The Zen master had already given up, and he felt that he should probably receive a letter of resignation early tomorrow morning.
If he is replaced as the boss, and the head coach hired with a high salary loses his record in the first game, he will be so angry that he will vomit blood!
In the fourth quarter, Lloy Ott's re-entry boosted the Clippers' morale a bit, and O'Neal calmed down in desperation, although it didn't help.
Speaking of which, O'Neal shouldn't be so afraid of packing, his abnormal performance today is more due to the increase in defensive intensity after the rule change, in fact, most players in the league are not used to this kind of defense with more packs, more help defense, and even frequent packs of off-ball players.
But the Lakers are very comfortable with this kind of defense, and even have some small routines developed according to the new rules, which makes other teams unbearable.
These teams don't adapt as quickly as the Lakers, and they need time to adapt, so the Lakers are bound to take the world by storm in the early stages of the season, and the other teams will have to adapt to the new rules for a while before they can figure out some ways to deal with the Lakers.
But then again, who knows if the Lakers at that time would have gone further?
That's the benefit of being a leader, and a catch-up often has to go through countless failures before they can catch up.
Later, Barcelona was invincible for several years with a system before being slowly defeated, and the current Lakers are the same, and even one or two teams alone have difficulty in studying ways to restrain the Lakers, and these teams must learn from the successes and failures of other teams in order to slowly develop a system that targets the Lakers, or is not inferior to the Lakers.
Today's Clippers are definitely out of play, and they can't even figure out how they died until now.
O'Neal subconsciously sped up the ball in the fourth quarter, but this thing has to be practiced by the whole team to be effective, and one or two people can only have a limited impact, which will make the rhythm more disordered.
The Clippers are not only O'Neal alone, but the whole team is not running fast enough, and they are still at the same slow pace as before.
However, this set of rules of the league was born to speed up the offense so that the game can be smoother and more beautiful.
So, the Clippers didn't go in the right direction from the start, but this can't be blamed on the rigidity of the Zen master's thinking, and any team with peak O'Neal will not play fast. It's just that positional battles can't be played as slowly as before, and it is still necessary to speed up the speed of transferring the ball, and the frequency of running without the ball must be raised by one gear.
The Lakers' offensive and defensive speed have been raised by a notch, so the Clippers players will find that they can't break the defense no matter how they play, and it is difficult to get rid of the defense with any tactics, and they can't keep up with the pace of the Lakers at all.
At 9 minutes and 56 seconds in the fourth quarter, a collective attack by the Lakers made the little morale that the Clippers had just gathered instantly dissipate.
Kidd took advantage of Mason's cover in the backcourt and quickly hit the frontcourt, and Zhang received the basketball in the fourth second of offensive time.
The Clippers players hurriedly came up to wrap up, Kidd passed the ball straight to the basket, Starks pulled the bottom corner three-point line to stand, Mason stopped at the free throw line to respond, and Uncle Mu ran to block Zhang Fu, now who knows what tactics the Lakers are going to play?
Zhang Fu had many choices at this moment, he chose the safest one, and after using Uncle Mu's blocking and dismantling to complete the breakthrough, he directly distributed the ball to Mason on the free throw line.
Uncle Mu blocked Zhang Fu here, turned his head and came to the flank to block the defender from Kidd.
The Clippers' defense was completely messed up here, and Mason easily passed the ball to Kidd.
Kidd, of course, didn't attack at this time, and he gave the ball to Starks, who was no longer paying attention in the bottom corner.
The Clippers player said: "Enough, it's not like this, are you guys walking the dog?" ”
If Starks is going to stay in peacetime, he will definitely catch the ball and shoot. But today I guess I was also high, and I actually held the basketball and aimed it for a long time, and finally attracted Eddie Jones over, and sent the basketball to Mutombo on the inside with a hit.
Mutombo was defended by O'Neal by his side, and the ball was passed a lot, and Lao Mu didn't even look at the basket, and immediately threw the ball to Mason, who had been standing at the free throw line.
The Clippers players are going to want to hit someone, this TM is really walking the dog!
Cassel was very witty, he felt that the Lakers were playing like this, and he probably wouldn't shoot, so he immediately turned his head to the Lakers players who were in the vacant position, and found that Zhang Zhu didn't know when he ran to the bottom corner of the other side, and there was no one around him, so he decided that the basketball would definitely pass.
Mason said, "You underestimated my vision", although he wanted to pass the ball to Zhang Zhu, but when he saw Cassel rushing directly to the passing route to prepare to break the ball, Mason, who seemed to be five big and three thick, immediately took the ball back, and circled the ball from behind, using a very sassy back pass, and there was only 3 seconds left in the assist offensive time, and Kidd, who had to shoot the shot, threw a three-pointer.
The morale of the Clippers players dropped to negative at this moment, and the Lakers' offense made the basketball go through everyone's hands, it was really a dog-like style of play, and the taste of humiliation was not very strong, but very strong!
"This is murder, and you have to punish your heart!"
Old Bass was a little apprehensive in the private room, worried that Sterling would rush up to PK him with a real person, it was too humiliating to play like this, he didn't explain it like this at halftime!?
Sterling was so angry that his nose was crooked, he thought that the Lakers would raise a hand in the second half, but he didn't expect that these guys not only did not show mercy to their subordinates, but now this is whipping the corpse?
With a score of 113:74, the Lakers once again extended the difference to 40+.
The fans at the scene cheered wildly for the Lakers' humiliating goal, and even shouted the slogan "be crueler".
When Battle saw the ball off the pitch, he knew how bad he was with Mason.
The Lakers' most touches on this offense is Mason, he is the commander of this offense, and he sorted everything out perfectly enough, especially Kassel predicted the ball in advance, and replaced it with a player who reacted slowly and had poor vision and passing skills.
Anyway, Battle felt that if he was in Mason's position just now, he would definitely not have time to react, and the ball would definitely be cut off by Kassel.
Harris will obviously reuse Mason for the next two seasons because of his playmaking skills, and any championship team must have at least two shots, which is a hard indicator.
However, a closer look at the data in recent years shows that most of the championship teams have more than two points, which proves that the standard of two points is outdated.
The Lakers have three starting points in their starting lineup, which allows them to change their tactics in a kaleidoscope, and even if they accidentally get into a stalemate, they can rely on the individual ability of their players to save the day.
The Clippers suffered more than one humiliation, and just one minute later, they were once again being beaten by the Lakers.
This time, it was Zhang Mao's air cut to complete the dunk, and the 40th point of the koala baby arrived, and what is even more interesting is that the Lakers also happened to complete the 40-point lead.
The Zen master had to announce that he would give up on narrowing the difference, and replaced all the main forces after the dead ball.
The choice was correct, but the Lakers still had the advantage in the war between the benches, and the only thing that made it a pity for Chinese fans was that Harris did not replace Battle, he only let the latter play for a few minutes at the end of the third quarter, and the first game of his career could only stay at 2 points and 2 rebounds.
Zhang Zhu is already very satisfied with Battle's performance, after all, he didn't give him much time to perform today, and it will be very dismal in the end, but the process is very good, Battle's one-stop dunk that knocked down Oni and Lloy Ott will definitely be selected as the "Top Ten Goals of the Month".
"I don't know how the fight went?"
Battle was also satisfied with his performance, and couldn't help but think of Wang Zhizhi in Houston, where the game started for half an hour, and it should be over.
Both of them signed one-year contracts, but there was a big gap in preseason performances.
Battle didn't get much playing time in the preseason, and Wang Zhizhi was different with the Rockets, where there was only one 35-year-old Kevin Willis as a competitor, so Wang Zhizhi was able to play an average of 23 minutes per game in six preseason games, and his performance was the same as the No. 4 position that played next to Olajuwon, fully showing his ability and characteristics.
Unbeknownst to Battle, the Rockets have beaten the Cleveland Cavaliers 94-86 at home, and Wang Zhizhi has been given 21 minutes of playing time, most of the time against fellow rookie international player Ilgoskas, but Danny Feery, who has suffered a severe dip.
In the end, he got 7 easy shots next to Olajuwon and delivered an excellent performance of 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, which was given to fellow rookie Ilgoskas.
Zhang Qian didn't give a rough use of cards today, this is his real performance, so playing next to his eldest brother is an advantage, he encountered a very small defense, and the pressure was carried away by Olajuwon.
At this stage, Wang Zhizhi should not be able to beat Ilgoskas, but the two are not in the right position, this Lithuanian center was directly hammered by Olajuwon, and in the end, it seems that Wang Zhizhi and Ilgoskas's performance is half a catty.
Wang Zhizhi is lucky to be able to play for the Rockets, and now the Houston people's interior line is supported by two thirty-five-year-old men, it is foreseeable that even if these two are not injured, they will have to take a lot of rotational rest, Wang Zhizhi can easily get more than 20 minutes of playing time, and there is no defensive pressure, maybe he can impact the All-Star rookie game.
If the Rockets beat the Cavaliers is not an accident, but the situation between the Lakers and the Clippers is definitely an accident.
In the fourth quarter, when both teams were all replaced by substitutes, the Clippers were pressed to the ground again, and this time it was O'Neal Jr. who hit hardest.
Zhang Qian felt that it was probably because of Battle's breakthrough that O'Neill Jr. felt the crisis and played very fiercely after returning to the game!
Although O'Neal Jr. at this stage is a half-hanger, whether it is a breakthrough in the frame or a basket jumper, the Clippers are now demoralized, and O'Neal Jr.'s half-bucket of water can also make the Clippers crumbling.
The final score made Lakers fans a little embarrassed, and the Lakers beat the Clippers at home with a disparity of 135-89.
This is definitely the largest margin of win against the Clippers in the history of the Lakers, and the largest margin of loss in the history of the Clippers.
Of course, this must be the biggest defeat of the Zen master's coaching career, and O'Neal's career, the two of them have never lost such a miserable score of 46 points, it is a nightmare!
Zhang got a triple-double as he wished, he only played 28 minutes in the whole game, but handed over a statistic of 42 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, which is a perfect start to a new season.
"Some people haven't recovered from the holidays yet, but luckily I didn't give myself a vacation in the summer."
Zhang Mao's words after the game can only be described as "lack of morality", his rhythm is too heart-wrenching, and O'Neill is afraid that the next few days will be spent in verbal criticism. Of course, it also includes the unlucky guy Zen master, but who let him meet the Lakers in the first game of the new season, it's not good!
