Zhang Qi feels that O'Neill is very similar to himself in some aspects, this fat man's EQ is very high, but his IQ may not be so high, it is not that his IQ is high, these are two different things.

"I said, you should have come to the Lakers in the first place, and if we teamed up, it would be really invincible."

When Zhang Qi arrived on the field, he actually said to O'Neill with a good look of the two brothers, and he really thought they were good buddies if he didn't know.

O'Neill showed his naïve side at this time, he actually thought about Zhang Fu's words seriously, and he actually felt that it made sense.

Zhang Qian discovered one thing very early, that is, most black people have a characteristic, that is, they are easy to break with you because of a little thing, but they will take the initiative to greet you after a few days, if you show favor first, it will be easier to reconcile.

In one word, it is "no grudges".

Zhang Mao said that he really didn't know if this was a strength, anyway, it was difficult for people like him to hold special grudges to understand.

O'Neal is like this now, Zhang Zhu's actions are a gesture of favor in his eyes, he thought it was because he didn't provoke before the game, and he completely forgot that he had already been on the All-Star once, Zhang Qian had played this hand before, and the fat man really didn't have a long memory.

The difference this time is that Zhang Yi said this to make O'Neill think crankily over there, to put it bluntly, he wanted to sow discord, and if it could arouse suspicion between the players and the boss, it would be the best.

The Clippers team came to the game this time with the purpose of a shame, and the last time they were beaten by the Lakers on the road, they scored 45 points, setting a new record for the largest point difference in the team's loss.

Now, they only need to beat the Lakers once to wash away the shame on their bodies, otherwise they will continue to play with humiliation this season.

Zhang Qi looked at the attributes of the Clippers players as usual before the game, and found that except for Kobe Bryant, who rose to 84, the attributes of others were still like that.

"Eighty-four?"

Zhang Yu knows that this is the dividing line between an excellent starter and a quasi-All-Star player, the former is down, and the quasi-All-Star player is up, and the progress of this bastard is really fast.

"Hi, I watched your ad and it was the best I've ever seen."

Kobe Bryant was just looking up at the official promotional video playing on the big screen, Zhang Fu's narration made him empathize, if he was two years younger, he might have taken the jersey to Zhang Zhu to ask for an autograph, this is his idol!

"Uh, which one?"

Zhang Yu didn't find out when Kobe Bryant came over, so he took a look at it first, and then asked a question that made Kobe Bryant also stunned.

"Oh, I'm talking about the one above, but your new sneaker ad is pretty cool too, and I agree with that line."

Of course, Kobe Bryant has seen the "As long as you are decided" commercial, which is also an ad he likes very much, and it also speaks to his heart.

"I'm glad you see it that way, maybe we will have a chance to work together in the future."

Zhang Qi smiled and said in a tone that spoke to a little fan.

Kobe Bryant is indeed owned by Nike, and even has the same agent as him, as long as he speaks, cooperation is a matter of minutes.

"Hey, can you take me with you too?"

O'Neill interjected next to him, and this is really the species that can improve relations in a few words.

Zhang Qi said in his heart that it was very magical, and of course the words of fooling people came as soon as he opened his mouth: "There is nothing impossible, maybe we will play on the same team in the future, who can say for sure." "After he fooled O'Neal here, he even fooled Kobe Bryant by the way.

Kobe's eyes lit up when he heard this, although the Lakers didn't pay enough attention to him at the beginning, which made him hold a grudge for a while. But growing up, he did prefer the Lakers, even though his father was a Clippers player, but his favorite was still the Lakers.

O'Neal is similar, he wanted to join the Lakers the most, and he was also a little moved when he heard the rumors, just like Zhang Wei said, nothing is impossible in this world, didn't Chamberlain join the Lakers at the end of his career, why is it impossible for him?

"Of course it's possible, as long as you are willing to be a little brother, it's possible."

Zhang Yu thought in his heart, but he didn't know that neither of them would resist coming to the Lakers one day, which was actually a manifestation of his admiration.

Let's not talk about Kobe Bryant, just say that if O'Neal still thinks that he and Zhang Yu should also be the boss, then he will not have the idea of joining the Lakers. Now that he doesn't resist, it can only mean that he was convinced by Zhang Qi and accepted the reality that he could only be the second leader when he came to the Lakers.

Just kidding, a pervert who can score 16 points in 33 seconds, O'Neill certainly doesn't feel more awesome anymore, this is a performance that can be compared to Chamberlain's 100 points, the word "miracle" is not a casual award, but Zhang Zhu has created several miracles in less than three years.

What is incomprehensible to fans today is that the pre-match atmosphere of this Christmas game is surprisingly harmonious, which is not expected.

The match was scheduled for 9 p.m., and if everything was in order, then the game would end at exactly around midnight, and the fans could enjoy the joy of winning and welcome the warmth and joy of Christmas in a better mood.

So, you can see why the league chose the Lakers and Clippers game as the finale, not only because the two teams are strong, but also because the fans who support the Lakers have reached 90%, and their chances of winning are not much worse.

It's perfect, and most fans will be happy to see the Lakers win, how important it is on Christmas Eve, and it's definitely the best way to fool these people into liking the NBA from now on.

Soon, the bench players of both teams began to leave the court, and Kobe's face suddenly darkened, because he was still a substitute today, and he hated the word.

Battle also sighed off the court, counting that he has been on the bench for two months, and the playing time can't add up to the length of two games, and he can basically only show up in garbage time. Look at Wang Zhizhi again, he was an important rotation player on the inside of the Rockets, and he played 10+4+2 data in the first month, and his performance was even better than many lottery shows.

At the end of November, after Olajuwon's injury, Wang Zhizhi and Kevin Willis formed the starting interior line of the Rockets.

In December, Wang Zhizhi's performance went further, not only becoming the starting power forward, but also increasing his average playing time to 28 minutes per game that month, averaging 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and the current comprehensive data has reached 11+5+2.

The American media is currently arranging a template for Wang Zhizhi to be Rashid Wallace, but Zhang Wei feels that the styles of the two are quite far apart, and roughly that hand frame breakthrough has a chance to become a quasi-All-Star, but you have to train your body first, and don't suffer injuries.

Zhang Fu has also seen a lot of players with excellent skills in recent years, but he has suffered frequent injuries before he has played, and his last talent can only slowly disappear with injuries, there are too many examples of this.

That's why teams pay so much attention to physical fitness when choosing rookies, because no matter how good your talent is, it's useless if you can't fulfill it physically.

Little O'Neill is different, this product's technical talent is not as good as Wang Zhizhi's, but his ability to resist injuries is definitely two levels higher.

How do you say that, "the one who lives long is the winner", even if you have good talent, but you are always injured, it is useless, because the injury will take two months to make up for the injury, only by playing and training all the time can you maintain stable progress, and every injury will make the player's potential decline.

Clippers starters: Sam Cassel, Eddie Jones, Rodney Rodgers, Lloy Ott, Shaquille O'Neal.

Lakers starters: Jason Kidd, Michael Finley, Zhang Mao, Jermaine O'Neal, Deacembe Mutombo.

Mason didn't play today, having suffered a recurrence of his foot injury in the last game and will not be available for the next two weeks.

Harris thought about it, but decided to let O'Neal Jr. go up and didn't use Ben Wallace, who had no offensive ability.

Although the inside line of Big Ben and Mutombo is very mobile, and the defensive ability will not be much lower than when Mason is on the field, the offensive ability has become too catchy, and it is estimated that the Zen master dares to let all five people defend outside the penalty area.

Although O'Neal Jr. is not at the peak of rookies like Iverson and Duncan, his progress has been very stable, and it is no problem to start a weak team at present, after all, his physical fitness is really good, and his running and jumping ability is not much of a loss in the face of Garnett, and his confrontation ability is a little stronger.

The Lakers have been hiding a piece of gold in the team for the past two years, but not many people have noticed who let Zhang Mao's light cover everyone up.

In fact, the gold hidden in the Lakers is not limited to O'Neal Jr., Finley has not been able to show his full talent, and has always been despised. Many people believe that his ability to play 14+5+2 in a lottery show on the championship team is completely driven by Zhang Mao's historic thighs, otherwise he is a more athletic Rogers.

Today, Finley finally fought in front of a national television audience, and even though O'Neal scored 15 points in the first quarter, the Lakers controlled the situation for most of the game, and Finley used his cut-in to bomb the Clippers' basket in a row.

O'Neal was very weak on the wings and the baseline today, and Lloy Ott was pulled out by O'Neal Jr., who can shoot two points from a distance, and the Clippers faced the Lakers' lineup, and the interior defense ability was a little unable to keep up.

In the first quarter, the Lakers simply relied on the scalpel-like passes of Kidd and Zhang Qi, as well as the cut-ins of Finley and O'Neal Jr., to beat the Clippers' defense to a pulp.

Harris nodded secretly, O'Neal Jr. would be very dangerous if he practiced the frame more skillfully, and the passers had Kidd and Zhang Mao almost enough.

The Clippers' fishnet-like anti-cutting ability displeased the Zen masters on the sidelines, especially O'Neal, who was lazy on the defensive end, and he felt that the fat man was too lazy to move his feet.

O'Neal has never denied this, and he has always refused to compromise in this regard, because he believes that his physical strength is limited, and if everyone else enters, he will have to frequently help defend and fill the position, so how can he play in the fourth quarter? It's definitely powerless to attack.

So, he has to put his precious physical strength to the more valuable offensive end, and defense is certainly the task of his teammates, have you ever seen a defensive interior line that weighs 330 pounds?

It makes sense, O'Neal is far more valuable on the offensive end than on defense, and let's not forget that his lethality outside of scoring is just as historic. In the first quarter, even if Lao Mu showed his face and kept faking falls, he was still beaten into two fouls by O'Neal.

This is Mutombo, who has always been good at controlling fouls, and O'Neal still managed to make him 2 fouls, which is more lethal than his direct scoring, because he made the Lakers' interior gate disappear, isn't that more effective than letting him be active defensively?

Battle may be the only Lakers player happy, which means he can finally play.

But that mood didn't last long, and in front of O'Neal, who was in amazing form, Battle only lasted less than five minutes to announce GG, because his pace couldn't keep up with O'Neal at all.

O'Neal is not only a pervert in strength and size, his athleticism, including footwork and agility, is better than most centers, which is the most perverted part of his athletic talent, and there has never been such a flexible fat man in NBA history.

Battle had a hard anal with the hot-headed O'Neal last time, and in the end he didn't suffer much, which also made some Lakers fans remember the terrifying power of this Mongolian man, who was able to resist O'Neal, who was a lap older than him.

The bus himself gained confidence in that race, but then he didn't play so impressively.

This is actually caused by his slow pace, and O'Neal Jr. will use his speed and footwork advantage to bully him when he faces Battle in training matches, and he has tried it repeatedly.

Today, O'Neill played much smarter, as soon as he saw Battle playing, he immediately showed his flexible steps, and he didn't fight you hard at all, he wanted to win!

Battle's footwork disadvantage suddenly came to the fore, he couldn't use his strength talent at all, and was eaten by O'Neal with speed and footwork every time.

This fat man has indeed become cunning, and every time he will first take advantage of the position, and then use the weight advantage to knock away the out-of-position Battle.

No matter how strong Battle is, if he can't occupy the position, he can only be knocked away by O'Neill's huge body.

In the first quarter, O'Neal did whatever he wanted on the Lakers' inside, and if it weren't for the pit efficiency of only 2-of-7 from the free throw line, he would have scored 20 points in the first quarter today.

"Expected!"

Zhang said that it was nothing, they had long taken into account the threat that O'Neal could pose, and an O'Neal who was in excellent form could only be limited with a large number of packs, and he may not be able to restrain it, and Mason was not injured was the same result.

In the first quarter, their interior line was indeed damaged by O'Neal, but the Clippers' outside line was not much better, especially Eddie Jones was the most unlucky, Zhang Qi stared at this guy as soon as he came up, and the Lakers veteran was also beaten in less than half a quarter.

This is similar to doing business, Zhang Qi just wants to let the Clippers see clearly, your goods are just like that, why do you exchange them with us?

My Finley scored 10 points in the first quarter, and your Jones only scored 2 points, which is scum!

Da Shuaibi is also quite naïve at times, which also shows that he really doesn't care about this deal, and he still has an attitude that it doesn't matter if he trades or not.

The Zen Master has been putting pressure on the team, and if they can't bring in Grant Hill, they will have to trade Finley over, and they need to fill the gap on the perimeter right now.

O'Neal's side are reluctant to defend, and they will need a whole set of defensive perimeter lines to make up for his lack of defense.

Bryant is also more talented on the defensive end than Jones, and if they can trade to defend Finley, who is also tough, they can form a perimeter lineup with both individual defense and help defense, and then they can make up for O'Neal's absence.

In the first quarter, the Lakers' airtight outside defense made the Zen master extremely greedy on the sidelines, and it was precisely by relying on a set of perimeter defenses that Kobe Jr. couldn't find a chance to break through after he came on the court, that the Lakers were able to still lead 30:28 when the interior line was blown up.

After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers took advantage of O'Neal's absence for a period of time to open up the gap again. After O'Neal came on the court, the Lakers began to sacrifice the "singles rule", choosing to let O'Neal go and let him score to defend the other four players.

In fact, Harris also has a backup plan, which is the "shark cutting tactic".

However, this trick is reserved for the playoffs, and it is not easy to use it in normal times, so that O'Neal will go crazy and really practice free throws, and they don't want to force O'Neal too much.

Zhang Wei didn't score too much today, but he was very focused and the timing was critical, which allowed him to steal the limelight from Finley and O'Neal Jr. again.

Both of these youngsters played well today, with the former contributing 16 points in the first half and the latter also netting 10 points, both exceeding the team's expectations of them.

Koala Baby only took nine shots in the first half, but scored a team-high 15 points, along with six rebounds and eight assists, as if he had opened up his exclusive system.

"Needless to say, this kind of limelight game, of course, has to use the 'koala system' to brush the data, don't you see that O'Neal over there has scored 23 points? That guy doesn't defend at all, just wants to show his dominance on the inside in front of a national audience. ”

Zhang Wei dared to play his own exclusive system with a certain range of "ceilings" today, because he saw that O'Neal also put himself above the team.

Hehe, if both sides play star mode, then it will be difficult for him to lose.

O'Neill doesn't have an exclusive system, but he has an exclusive system with a limited upper limit but a very high lower limit.

The halftime score was 59:55, although the gap was not large, but the data of Zhang Zhu and O'Neal gave commentators around the world a lot of room to play.

Think about it, a person only made 9 shots, but contributed 15 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists; One person made 16 shots and contributed 23 points, 6 rebounds and 0 assists.

If you put the two side by side, and assuming that the first team's team is in the lead and is particularly handsome, what will be the result? How would you analyze the difference between these two? And how can you tell if you are not superior?
