Chapter 216: Inexplicable throbbing

Clippers head coach Bill Feige is by no means a rookie coach, the Clippers in another time and space have no O'Neal, no Kobe, not even Eddie Jones, the team's boss is defensive titan Lloy Ott, who averages only 14.9 points per game, and the second is Marrick Healy, who the Lakers don't want in the summer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 But it's such a lineup, he took the Clippers into the playoffs, and he may not be able to play this result if he was replaced by a Zen master or Popovich.

O'Neal's arrival made Bill Feige overjoyed, except for the Magic team who would feel that Hardaway was more important than O'Neal, most teams knew who brought the Magic's results to them. Even if this dead fat man is still lazy, his talent can really rank in the top five in history, not inferior to Zhang Yi in any way, and both of them are more talented than Jordan, but they are lazier than the other.

Kobe Bryant said that he didn't want to talk, in fact, O'Neal worked very hard this summer, at least compared to his previous training volume, O'Neal this summer has broken through his own history, and the motivation is to kill Zhang Mao, and he doesn't want to be too lazy than a high school student.

Zhang Wei usually always talks about the sun of "four or five o'clock in Los Angeles", but his sisters can testify that someone at this time is definitely asleep, and sometimes accidentally wakes up with urine, at most, it will be another one in the early morning, morning exercise or something only exists in advertising, and reality does not exist.

Kobe Bryant is different, this little bastard is not very old, but he can really get up before five o'clock in the morning to train, which is basically the same time as Big Ben arrived at their respective training gyms.

These two people sometimes meet by chance on the street and have a passionate look at each other.

The training halls of the Lakers and the Clippers are only one street apart, and there is an intersection that the players of the two teams must pass, so a reporter saw Kobe Bryant with a weight and happened to hit Big Ben with a parachute on his back one day, and filmed the scene of the two waiting for the green light to pass on the side of the road.

The two of them really often date the Suns at four or five o'clock, and O'Neal wants to beat Zhang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to be too lazy in front of his younger brother, so it is rare to be able to come to the arena before eight o'clock every day, which is already something he rarely does in the Magic team.

Zhang Wei was standing in their respective halves with O'Neill at the moment, in fact, they had a similar scene, but what made them embarrassed was that they were all in a hurry to go to the training gym at the time, and finally were stopped by the traffic police for speeding.

However, Zhang Mao got out in less than a minute, and O'Neal was harassed by the police, who were obviously Lakers fans.

In the opening jump ball, O'Neal dragged his 340-pound body and still defeated Mutombo, the only person in NBA history who could use this near-flat-frame monster.

O'Neal didn't have time to be happy when he got the ball, so he saw Mason pounce on him with a fierce face, and the two had a physical contact before they entered the three-point line.

At only 270 pounds, Mason couldn't really resist O'Neal, so he had to use his balance and strong underhand power to interfere with O'Neal. Don't look at him who was hit before and almost lost his center of gravity, but relying on the advantage of the chassis, Mason can wrap around again at a faster rate, and then use both hands and feet, pushing people, provoking, distracting, and small movements all to greet O'Neal, with the purpose of disrupting his rhythm. If these means still can't prevent O'Neal, then just take the fall.

In short, his task is to do everything he can to prevent O'Neal from scoring easily, trying to provoke him and not let the fat man have a comfortable offensive rhythm.

To be honest, even so, it would be difficult for Mason to limit O'Neal's scoring to less than 25 points, or even 30 points, but he could make it difficult for O'Neal to hit higher damage, which has already achieved the strategic purpose of the Lakers.

The Clippers' system this season is completely centered on O'Neal, and all players revolve around O'Neal to launch tactics, much like Yao Ming's enhanced version of the tactics during the Rockets, where two or three shooters are always ambushed outside the three-point line or in the long-range area to help O'Neal open up space, allowing the fat man to attract defense on the inside and then divide the ball.

Of course, one team can't settle for one tactic, but getting O'Neal to get the ball early on offense is the default start for the Clippers. This means that O'Neal has a high chance of getting a basketball every time he attacks, and other tactics will start to change from here.

Some fans may wonder, isn't it okay to find a way to prevent O'Neal from getting the ball in the early stages of the attack?

The problem is, here's the difficulty!

The Clippers certainly have enough ways to get O'Neal to receive the basketball, and how much do you have to pay to stop O'Neal from receiving the ball?

If the price paid is too great, then the Clippers' tactical purpose has been achieved; But to make O'Neal unable to catch the ball without paying some price is tantamount to a dream.

Basketball tactics are like this, to put it simply, on the defensive end, whatever you want to do, I will do everything I can to stop you from doing it, or make you uncomfortable; On the offensive end, naturally where I have an advantage, I will do everything I can to play the advantage or find a way to expand the advantage.

O'Neal's first offense was entangled by Mason, but he still received the basketball, and then carried Mason and Mutombo, who was on the defensive line, and distributed the ball to Lloy Ott.

Lloy Ott played 16+10 last season, not only strengthening the stability of his mid-range shot, but also practicing good three-point shooting.

However, this season, the NBA's three-point line has returned to its original 7.25 meters, and a large number of players who have just practiced three-point shooting, including Jordan, have only given up three-point shooting again. However, Lloy Ott's mid-range shooting has been very consistent, and with his excellent defense and rebounding ability, this is a more suitable No. 4 position for O'Neal than "Cobra" Grant.

Lloy Ott received O'Neal's ball and immediately shot, and the basketball went to the basket!

"Well done!"

O'Neal is very happy with Lauie, in addition to these advantages, he is also very good at running and jumping, and his ability to catch the ball and attack the basket directly is much better than the 31-year-old Granger.

In the first five games of the Clippers' preseason, Lloy Ott played an average efficiency of 24+10 per game "every 36 minutes", and I believe that there will also be an average efficiency of 20+10 per game "every 36 minutes" in the regular season.

"It's not easy!"

Zhang Qi doesn't admit it, but he knows in his heart that O'Neal is also a player who can make his teammates more efficient. If you don't believe me, you can look at the Magic team this season, there will definitely be a large number of players whose stats and efficiency have declined, because without O'Neal to attract them to defense, these guys have a lot less open scoring opportunities, including Hardaway.

It's the Lakers' turn to attack, Zhang Zhu's viewing is better than O'Neal's, Rodgers can't keep up with Zhang Zhu's footsteps at all, he doesn't even have to call for cover, Rodgers was cleaned up in a blink of an eye, Zhang Zhu's offense is so direct.

O'Neal hurriedly came over to make up for the defense, he has been paying attention to Zhang Mao's movements on the inside, relying on the existence of no reasonable collision zone, as long as Mutombo does not pull out, he stands under the basket like this when he defends, does not jump, and shoots whoever comes.

Zhang Mao also passed the ball, and Mason still had to face O'Neal, who was guarding the basket and couldn't die, after receiving the basket. But at this time, Mason's role can be seen, Zhang Zhu and Mutombo immediately ran to the far end, O'Neill can only follow out, otherwise it is illegal defense.

Mason singled out Lhoy on one side, despite his 270-pound stature, but he could break through like an outside rim, and the dribble was so strong that it looked like he was smashing the ball on the floor, but the strange thing is that Mason rarely concedes the ball, and can only say that his dribbling is as bizarre as his free throws.

Lloy was a great runner and jumper, but weighed only 230 pounds, and was far from Mason's opponent when he was pulled out by Mutombo, and O'Neal was about to return to the basket again.

Zhang Zhu had already disrupted the Clippers' defensive formation with running without the ball at this time, and easily ran out of the empty position by using the rule that he could not change the defense after falling into the position, even if Jones was next to him, but the latter could not change the defense of Zhang Zhu, and could only watch Mason pass, and Zhang Zhu easily scored in the middle of the shot.

The Magic had a lot of fun watching off the court, and that's how the Lakers played last season. Mason is strong in not only sharing the ball, he also has the strength to attack Lhoy just now, but Mr. "Murderer", who has a point guard heart, chose to pass.

Mason's current nickname is "The Murderer", who called him a natural villain's face, but he himself loved the nickname.

Only one round was played after the opening, but from this one round, it can be seen that the Lakers' tactics are clearly more clever than the Clippers, or arguably more complex.

This complexity is the result of the Lakers who have been exercising since last season, and the Clippers have actually just begun to run in after grabbing O'Neal this summer.

Bill Feige knows that the failure of this defense is that Rodgers can't keep up with Zhang Zhu's pace, and the Clippers bench has a defensive A+ Bo Outlow, which is still his rating after his form has declined, and last season's Outlow has been a heads-up existence in the virtual space.

At the time, Outlaw had an S- rating on individual defense, and finished the season at No. 7 on the Defensive Player of the Year rating, which is already a high rating for a bench player with little offensive ability.

But the problem is that Oterlo can only defend, has little long-range shooting ability, and can't pick up O'Neal from the outside. Moreover, in addition to the first time the effect of defending Zhang Zhu was not bad, the next time Oterlo's defensive effect on Zhang Qi became worse and worse, and then it was not even different from Rodgers.

Zhang seemed to be able to guess his next move, which forced the Clippers to abandon their plan to let Oterlo defend Zhang.

Of course, since Zhang Zhu was very uncomfortable by Otero for the first time, he has been practicing with him in the virtual space every day, and no matter how good the defense is, he can't bear to be studied like this, so when he meets Otero again, Zhang Zhu will not be affected at all, he can judge this guy's next move and understand all his defensive habits.

"Pippen's ability value is more than 89, otherwise it would be better to practice with him."

Zhang Yu now wants to find Pippen and Hill to train the most, but unfortunately the second brother and Hill's ability value is more than 90, and they must be upgraded to the fourth-level system to get them, which is also his next upgrade goal.

O'Neill said that he was not convinced, and he was going to attack himself.

Mason still uses both hands and feet, pulling and pulling the top sticker for everything, and he began to pester O'Neal from the frontcourt, completely taking out the intensity of the playoffs to greet the big fat man.

This kind of defense is actually on the verge of fouling, but the referees are obviously also using playoff standards to enforce the penalty, so Mason didn't get his first foul until midway through the first quarter, because this time he threw O'Neal directly to the ground.

Clippers fans tore their throats and yelled at Mason, but they were also worried that O'Neal would lose his cool and go up to fight Mason.

Well, that's why they don't know O'Neill, don't look at the fat man It's scary to get angry, but he really only dares to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them.

Oakley and Mason hugged O'Neal like this when they were in the Knicks, and now Mason is still doing this when he comes to Los Angeles, O'Neal still only dares to be angry and does not dare to be angry, and his beautiful name is "Lao Tzu is porcelain, the hope of the whole village, not like you, this tile"!

There's nothing wrong with saying that, Zhang Qian has also been so disgusting, he can't hit people either, but he can retaliate back in the same way. However, O'Neal's physique is very embarrassing, he can't hide any moves, and he can't do revenge, otherwise he will be punished sooner than Mason.

But no matter how disgusted Mason was O'Neal, the dead fat man held the ball far longer than the Magic in the first quarter, but with Mason's grappling and Mutombo's supplemental defense, his efficiency was not very high.

On the contrary, the ball possession rate on Zhang's side has decreased compared to last season, but the efficiency has improved.

The contrast is awkward, O'Neal finished the first quarter with 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, including 3 of 7 shots and 3 of 6 free throws, adding up to only 9 points, and his 50% of free throws are theoretically up to the minimum acceptable standard, but obviously not enough to kill the Lakers.

Zhang Mao's data is not too high, O'Neal's deterrence under the basket is still good, he is difficult to score directly in the restricted area today, only 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the first quarter, this data is similar to O'Neal, but his shooting rate is 2 of 4 shots, 4 free throws and 4 free throws, which is much more efficient than O'Neal.

The Lakers have Mason and Mutombo to affect O'Neal's efficiency, but the Clippers have no one to entangle Zhang, which is the most nerve-wracking problem for Bill Feige.

The score was 24:24 in the first quarter, and the two teams were tied.

Judging from the data, although the Lakers' interior combination could not prevent O'Neal, Mason even left the court with two fouls in the last five minutes, but the Magic could also go around to resist O'Neal, Ben Wallace was unexpectedly able to keep up with Lloy Ott, and the defensive effect of the two in the bench period was acceptable, and they successfully lasted until O'Neal went to rest.

Now Big Ben can't go to O'Neal in terms of strength, and Harris didn't let him play center, but with his excellent feet and power in the No. 4 position, Big Ben is enough to defend most non-technical players.

Lloy Ott happens to be the run-and-jump power forward, and Ben Wallace can handle it in a short period of time.

After Mason is gone, the Lakers will no longer defend O'Neal alone, and they will adopt the method of shrinking the interior to contain O'Neal, and use the number of people to make up for the quality disadvantage.

This is a test of the footsteps of the outside players, fortunately, Zhang and Finley have top-level mobility ability, and the two have a very wide range of defense, otherwise it is really difficult to deal with the Clippers' outside shooters.

In the second quarter off the bench, Starks gave full play to his talent for the nerve gun, and under the feeding of the Magic, two unreasonable long-range shots in a row made the Clippers feel sick.

Kobe Bryant's face was ugly, Starks' two shots were thrown in his face, which is equivalent to Yan shooting! And after scoring, Starks also deliberately showed a disdainful expression, taunting him, "Does it taste good?" ā€

"Good Nimabi!"

Kobe Bryant is about to lose his mind in his heart, and he can't bear this kind of thing at the age of 18!

Bill Feige shook his head, Kobe was still too tender, and just when he wanted to replace the main force in advance, Kobe Bryant couldn't control his emotions and began to play 1V5 alone.

Starks laughed, this stunned young man is really easy to provoke, and he actually wants to single-handedly take on the entire Lakers team, does he think his name is "Lyon", or "Michael"?

Kobe Bryant is also unlucky, and if he faces others, even a quasi-All-Star like Stark House, he may not be able to prevent his offense.

But Starks is not only a nerve gun, his defense still has a good level, although the height is slightly shorter is a place that can be targeted, but Kobe Bryant has not practiced long-range shooting now, and his strong burst quickly ran into trouble, Scantas deliberately put him inside and pressed Kobe's layup in the restricted area.

Mutombo was bad enough, and when he saw that Big Ben had successfully blocked, he immediately stood up and helped the little brother shake his fingers.

He and Mason both admired this hard-working little guy very much, and the two of them didn't hide their secrets, and they really taught by word and deed, hoping to let Big Ben grow up as soon as possible.

The Lakers' interior line is different from the Knicks, and there is at least one position in the team, so they are not afraid of being robbed of the starter by Big Ben, but feel that the strength of the interior is not enough.

After all, the Magic is semi-retired, and there is not much time to play this season, and the Lakers need an all-around interior player who can replace the four or five positions, ready to fill in after the two fouls, and Big Ben currently seems to be the most promising person for this role, but he just needs to grow up as soon as possible.

Bill Feige didn't dare to let Kobe Bryant play when he saw this, Starks' effect on defending Jordan last season was acceptable, and it was too difficult for Kobe to break through such an experienced veteran. At this time, if his mind is not calm and he continues to force it, the result will definitely bury the whole team, and he certainly won't let a rookie mess around like this.

Bryant only played two minutes in the second quarter, and he felt that he would definitely score on his next offense, and was about to attack the hateful Starks, only to find that the Clippers had made a substitution.

"What! Is this going to change me? ā€

Kobe Bryant said he couldn't accept the order, and he only played for less than two minutes, and didn't the Lakers slap him in the face at this time?

But the coach's substitution can't be resisted, even Zhang Mao can only refuse to play, and can't refuse to be replaced.

"Boy, do you still want to be a starter at your level?" Starks continued to launch a merciless taunt when Kobe Bryant walked off the court with an unhappy face, "Don't dream, you don't have the strength to play in the NBA at all, it's better to wake up, you're going to the development league soon, and that's where you belong." ā€

This league has this kind of tradition, once the veteran abuses the rookie, he must hit the rookie's psychology again, the purpose of this is to leave a psychological shadow on the other party, and the next time he sees himself, it will be difficult to show his true strength, and over time, after the habit becomes natural, it will really become a dead cycle.

But Starks obviously found the wrong target, Kobe's face became even more ugly, and there was a sudden inexplicable throbbing on his elbow, and even he didn't know what it meant.

Starks should be glad that Kobe Bryant is too tender now, and his trash talk is actually average, and he failed to really stimulate Kobe to wake up, otherwise he would have been the first to taste S-level skills.

"This kid can't be dumb, right?"

Starks was just strange at the moment, he originally thought that the opponent would fight back before going off the court, but although Kobe's lips kept twitching, he never said a word.

That's right, although Kobe Bryant's academic performance is not bad, but his stomach is unhappy, that is, he can't be converted into words to fight back, until he walks off the court, Kobe Bryant can't spit out a word, only the inexplicable throbbing is getting stronger and stronger.
