Chapter 524: Little O'Neill's Change

"Jermaine, you need to be tougher, are you even scared of that parallel import?" In this game between the Pacers and the Timberwolves, the two sides entered a white-hot state from the beginning, because neither side wanted to lose today's game. Therefore, the two sides have a goal and I have a goal, biting the score tightly, no one can open up the difference, and in this case, the success rate of every offense is very important, but Jermaine O'Neal, as the second leader of the Pacers, has a very average feel in this game, after two consecutive shots, Meng Xu immediately walked to his side and yelled loudly in his ear.

"I see, Meng!" Don't look at Jermaine O'Neal's usual cuteness, but he is an unruly guy in his bones, coupled with his rising position in the league after winning consecutive championships and making great progress, the current Jermaine O'Neal's morale is very high, in the Pacers, that is, a few people such as Reggie Miller and Meng Xu can teach him a lesson, as for the rest, not to mention the rest of the Pacers' players, even head coach Rick Carlisle, has no status in Jermaine O'Neal's heart.

"Jermaine, you are a big forward, a barrier and pillar for our interior, Dibeken is injured now, and the basket can only rely on you, so you have to be more resolute to go to the basket and abuse that parallel import." Although Jermaine O'Neal nodded at Meng Xu, Meng Xu still saw Jermaine O'Neal's absent-minded expression, Jermaine O'Neal has been training with Duncan in the past few summers, but Jermaine O'Neal's style of play has no Duncan's shadow at all, because Jermaine O'Neal has always been learning Garnett's style of play, which has also caused Jermaine O'Neal's offensive range to be farther and farther away from the basket, near the free throw line and two bottom corners near the basket one meter down, Now it has become Jermaine O'Neal's shooting hot spot, this season's Jermaine O'Neal has rarely gone to the basket to attack, and even Meng Xu has more shots per game under the basket than Jermaine O'Neal. Although head coach Rick Carlisle has spoken to Jermaine O'Neal about this countless times, Jermaine O'Neal has never changed.

And just now, after two consecutive attacks, Jermaine O'Neal, who was already unguarded, after receiving the pass, could directly rush to the basket and end the attack with a dunk, but in these two attacks, Jermaine O'Neal chose to shoot in the jump, but the two shots were all iron. If in the past, after his teammates missed a shot, Meng Xu would not only not be angry, but would encourage them, but this time, Meng Xu did not continue to indulge Jermaine O'Neal, because in Meng Xu's heart, Jermaine O'Neal is different from those role players, as the core and second leader of the team, Jermaine O'Neal must work harder than others, and at the same time take on more responsibilities.

"Well, next time, I'll go to the basket and blow up that parallel goods." Looking at Meng Xu's serious look, Jermaine O'Neal nodded to Meng Xu again, in fact, for his own problems, Jermaine O'Neal himself also knows that because he is a defender, Jermaine O'Neal has always been a little out of the way in the offense, plus since imitating Garnett's style of play, Jermaine O'Neal is like finding the key to open the door to a new world, and the speed of progress is rapid, so the current Jermaine O'Neal is already a little crazy on the road of imitating Garnett, But no matter how similar you imitate, you can't become the real Kevin Garnett, these words, not only Meng Xu, Larry Bird, Maddie, Kobe Bryant have all said to Jermaine O'Neal, but in the face of great success and overwhelming praise from the outside world, Jermaine O'Neal doesn't want to change, because in Jermaine O'Neal's bones, he is a person who is afraid of change.

"I'M KAO, I'M TM TO PROVOKE YOU GUYS!" Michael O'Lowokandi, who was passing by Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal, cursed softly with a black line after hearing the conversation between Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal. As the champion of 98 years, the title of parallel goods has always been an eternal pain in Michael O'Lowokandi's heart, even though Michael Olowocandi has been able to contribute an average of 12.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game last season, but Michael Olowocandi still can't get rid of the parallel hat. If Michael Olowokandi is a rookie who is in the bottom 15 in the first round, then he can play such a statistic, it is definitely worthy of his pick, and even great value, but Michael Olovokandi is the top pick, and he entered the NBA with the hat of Olajuwon's successor, so such a statistic is obviously sorry for the expectations of the league and fans for him.

"Sam, it looks like you don't have any status in the Timberwolves, you're the Timberwolves' playmaker, the first quarter of the game is almost over, I don't seem to have seen you touch the ball a few times?" The Timberwolves' tactics on the offensive end really made Meng Xu a little incomprehensible, as a playmaker Sam Cassel, neither controlled the ball nor organized the offense, but played without the ball, and the Timberwolves' ball possession is now basically in Sprewell and Garnett.

"I don't blame you yet!" Glancing at Meng Xu, Sem Kassel scolded in his heart, after Meng Xu changed to an organizational guard this season, as long as it was a team that had played against the Pacers, their No. 1 position was basically blown up by Meng Xu one by one, with a height of 2.01 meters, but he has more ball-control ability than most guards in the league, and what is even more perverted is that Meng Xu's movement speed and body coordination are even better than those 1.8 meters small men, plus Meng Xu's first-class prediction and defensive ability, This also led to many guards not even being able to dribble the ball in front of Meng Xu, and before the start of this game, Timberwolves head coach Philip Sanders handed over the responsibility of dribbling and organizing the team's offense to Sprewell and Garnett in order to avoid this on the court, so as to avoid Meng Xu's edge. Therefore, Kassel's current mood can only be described as the baby's bitterness, but the baby can't say it, because Kassel knows very well that he can't cope with Meng Xu's full pressure.

Sure enough, after being yelled at by Meng Xu for a few words, Jermaine O'Neal became more active on the defensive end, and his concentration was more concentrated, Kevin Garnett tried a few times, but couldn't push off Jermaine O'Neal close to the basket, so he chose to turn over and jump at a distance of more than 4 meters away from the basket, although Garnett's jump shot hit, but there is no doubt that Jermaine O'Neal's performance in this defense is still commendable, even Rick Carlisle on the sidelines After this offense, They all stood up and went to the sidelines, clapping their hands at Jermaine O'Neal.

After returning to the offensive end, this time Jermaine O'Neal did not stop near the free throw line after completing the block with Meng Xu, as in the previous game, waiting for Meng Xu's pass, but pounced directly towards the basket, after Garnett went to the misplaced defense of Meng Xu, the Timberwolves are now only Michael Olowokandi under the basket.

When he rushed to the basket less than 3 meters away, Jermaine O'Neal didn't look back at all, and jumped directly in the direction of the basket, because he knew that Meng Xu would definitely pass the basketball over, which was not only trust, but also the tacit understanding between Jermaine O'Neal and Meng Xu, and sure enough, when Jermaine O'Neal jumped high and his head was basically about to be level with the basket, Jermaine O'Neal saw the basketball flying over, and with a loud bang, Jermaine O'Neal hung his hands on the basket, And Michael Olowokandi, who was unresponsive, happened to be ridden under Jermaine O'Neal.

"Jermaine, that's it!" In the exclamation of his teammates around him, Meng Xu high-fived and celebrated with Jermaine O'Neal, and whispered in his ear that an inside line away from the basket will never be able to show dominance.

"Nima 。。。。。。" Michael O'Lo Okokandi, who was dunked by Jermaine O'Neal, is now crying without tears.
