Chapter 213: Poor little O'Neill

The strength of the American Dream Three team is of course invincible in the world on paper, except for Jordan and Zhang Zhu, the two most famous in the NBA, who did not participate, it can be said that it has gathered the strongest group of players in the NBA. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But in the eyes of old fans, if this Dream Three team really fights the Bulls or the SuperSonics, I am afraid that it is more likely to lose. In a team like this, there is no possibility of any cooperation, basically all singles and singles, and occasionally a dozen blocks and dismantles are the end, and it is impossible to have other tactical cooperation.

The Lakers' lineup this season will really have the power to fight against Shangmengsan, and it will also have a better chance of winning.

At this time, some people should say, why not give the dream team a little more time to run in?

Very good, then the result must be that the stars are fighting each other, and the effect is not as good as the short-term training camp.

The Chinese team faced a dream team that fought separately on both the offensive and defensive ends, and many players had outstanding performances, such as Wang Zhizhi's three blocks in the game, Li Nan's 100 shots, and Hu Weidong's yellow dunk...... But if they're playing against the Bulls or the Lakers, or even a big bad team like the Pistons, it's hard to think of a chance to perform like that.

The Lakers have undergone a major change this season, but the tacit understanding on the defensive end is still much higher than that of the Dream Team, and the Chinese players have no room to see the stitches at all, their coverage and blocking are difficult to achieve results, and it is difficult for offensive players to get rid of the defenders around them, so it is naturally difficult to get the space to do the action, and the gap in athleticism and confrontation between the two sides will make it difficult for every Chinese player to move forward.

This is the biggest difference between the NBA and the CBA, NBA players are too athletic, basically from the cover and blocking phase, you need a lot of strength to complete, otherwise you can't block the player for your teammates.

Wang Zhizhi and Liu Yudong certainly don't have the strength and physique, so it is difficult for the Chinese team to get the space to make the next move, and they must complete the breakthrough in a confrontational environment.

This makes the Chinese players very embarrassed, the Lakers' five starters are the weakest are Van Exel and Mutombo, how to play?

These two people, not to mention the players of the Chinese team, even if you want to find a few people from all the teams in the NBA who are much stronger than these two in the No. 1 and No. 5 positions, I am afraid that there are few people.

The Lakers' starting lineup this season can be said to have no flaws, even if they encounter a BUG-like existence like O'Neal, they can also adopt a way of switching defenses to reduce their own vulnerabilities.

The only feeling that the Chinese team has in the face of the Lakers' defense is that they have kicked an iron plate, not only is it airtight, but even if the Chinese players occasionally play beyond the norm and successfully break through the first obstacle in front of them, they can also see Mutombo's big hands stretched out in the restricted area.

This inside gate, which is slightly better than Camp, basically locked the Lakers' restricted area, and the Chinese players could not find a loophole to break through to score, and finally helplessly found that they could only use long-range shots to fight luck.

"The difference in individual strength is too far, and the difference in comprehensive strength is even farther!"

Master Reasonable was very frustrated in his heart, he only watched half of the game, and he knew that this game was more difficult than playing the Dream Three team.

Chinese players can't score in the restricted area, and even Wang Zhizhi can only pull outside the three-point line to shoot, which is actually a helpless choice.

On the other hand, the Lakers, Zhang Ju took the team's first three scores, except for the shocking full-court run, the other two times were very easy to hold the ball and burst to the basket to complete the goal. Once before the Chinese players made up the defense, he went straight to the basket.

It can also be said that his breakthrough made the Chinese team unable to react at all, and Sun Jun, who is considered strong in the team, couldn't even hinder it, and was bounced away by Zhang Qi as soon as he made contact.

Another offense was even more ruthless, Zhang Fu hit the basket easily after bouncing Sun Jun again, and easily knocked Wang Zhizhi, who weighed 250 pounds, under the basket, and looked like he could easily complete a two-handed slam dunk.

Master Li's eyelids jumped when he saw this, because he saw that after Zhang Zhi hit Wang Zhizhi, he actually adjusted his posture in the air to make his dunk look better, which showed that Wang Zhizhi did not affect Zhang Ji's center of gravity at all, and he still didn't know how much strength he had left.

Zhang Zhu scored 6 points in a row, so he stopped attacking, and began to play the role of the organizer again, and then he didn't even do the organization at all, and completely turned into an outside battery, leisurely watching the excitement.

Now not only did the reasonable master see that Zhang Zhu had lost interest, but even some fans could see that Zhang Zhu didn't want to shoot anymore, who called the Chinese team's defense could not affect him at all, and he could score at any time, what was the point of playing like this, and there was no point.

However, even if Zhang Qi does not contribute, the Lakers' attack power is still overflowing, especially for fans who are familiar with Lakers players, after seeing that Finley can actually hold the ball to the basket to complete the dunk, they know why Zhang Qian is unwilling to break through again.

What level of offense is Finley with the ball? It's good to say, but it's not good. He rarely completed this kind of individual performance when he played weak teams in the NBA, which only shows that the Chinese team put too little pressure on the defensive end, which made Finley's poor ball handling ability extremely sharp.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 20:8, and the Chinese team's 8 points were all three points and two points from long range, and they couldn't find any offensive opportunities at the middle and close range.

The overall defense of the Lakers players is much stronger than that of the Dream Three team, especially these guys didn't keep their hands today, they are much more serious than when they played the Japanese team, and they are completely playing as an official regular season, and the Chinese team can only get these 8 points by relying on the bonus of the card, otherwise it is likely to be an embarrassing score similar to the Japanese team.

At the beginning of this section, the Lakers began to make substitutions, and almost all of the main players went off the court, with five up and five substitutions, which meant that the Lakers began to release water.

The Chinese players secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they completely understood the strength of Zhang Qi and the NBA team, which Nima was more desperate than the "Yugoslavia" who played the king of Europe. In particular, the NBA's court is larger than that of international basketball, even if the American referees took special care of the Chinese team today, in fact, completely ignoring their joint defense, it is still difficult to prevent the Lakers' individual attack.

Today's game rules can be said to be very confusing, the game venue is based on NBA regulations, and the Lakers' rules are all implemented in accordance with the NBA.

But the Chinese team can play joint defense, and they can also help defend and defend the restricted area, but the Lakers players can't do that.

In a game, two standards are used to judge penalties, and I really have to feel sorry for this dual-minded referee.

After the Lakers came off the bench, because most of them were rookies and veterans, their athleticism had almost dropped a notch, and the tacit understanding was far inferior to the main team, especially the existence of O'Neal Jr., a drag bottle, and the Chinese team finally had a chance to breathe.

Harris uses O'Neal Jr. and Big Ben to partner inside, with Jeromy Colsey as small forward and Fisher + Starks as the two guards.

The strength of the Lakers' lineup has declined very seriously, and in the face of the Chinese team, they can no longer seal the restricted area, and Hu Weidong, Wang Zhizhi and others, who have not performed at all before, have begun to play......

Little O'Neill is under a lot of pressure today, he knows that in the eyes of the American media, Wang Zhizhi is much better than him, who called people to perform well in the Olympic Games, although the 19-year-old age is suspected of cheating, but at most he is two or three years old, and he is still very young for the insider.

Therefore, the scouts who came to the scene today want to see how much worse O'Neill Jr. is than Wang Zhizhi?

The Lakers' inner combination just now is Mutombo + Mason, Wang Zhizhi and Liu Yudong don't get the opportunity to show themselves on the inside, especially when Liu Yudong faces Mason, who is about the same height, his figure is more than a lap smaller, and his pace and speed are slightly inferior.

Wang Zhizhi is a little better, he can't break through Uncle Mu's defense, but at least he can pull to the three-point line and shoot three points, 3 of the 8 points of the Chinese team are his contributions, and he, Li Nan and Battle are also the only Chinese players who can shoot the NBA three-point line.

Now that the defender has replaced him with O'Neal Jr., Wang Zhizhi naturally can't float outside anymore, he must let people see his ability, if he can't play O'Neal Jr., then don't expect to go to the NBA.

In today's game, the Chinese team has reached an internal agreement, mainly to complete young players like Wang Zhizhi and Li Nan, because only they have the opportunity to play in the NBA, Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong and others are not young after all, and the style of play is not suitable for the NBA, and the domestic team will not let them go easily.

Little O'Neill lived up to expectations, and as soon as he came up, he came out first.

I saw Wang Zhizhi receiving the ball in a low position on the left side, just raising his hand for a slow shooting feint, and as a result, the extremely nervous little O'Neal flew up like this, Wang Zhizhi collected the ball very freely, and then calmly made a move to the left side, and easily shot and hit.

The camera showed the Lakers bench at this time, and Zhang Mao and Mutombo next to him covered their faces with their hands almost at the same time, which is too two.

Wang Zhizhi found out the depth of little O'Neill through this ball, although the athleticism of this product is better than him, but there seems to be a problem with the brain, which is easy to do.

Next, it was the time when American scouts began to keep recording with a small book, Wang Zhizhi used his eighteen martial arts, especially before the end of the first quarter, he broke through from outside the three-point line, hit a sharp stop near the free throw line, shook O'Neal Jr. twice in a row, and then easily threw the ball in.

After the first quarter, the entire arena was filled with the sound of Chinese fans cheering for Wang Zhizhi.

The most potential interior of the Chinese team has already scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in the first quarter, and that block was of course also rewarded to O'Neal Jr., and this guy has not scored 1 point so far, and he was completely pressed to the ground by Wang Zhizhi and rubbed.

Zhang Wei secretly praised Ben Wallace's defense, and most people didn't notice that Liu Yudong and Gong Xiaobin, who were in charge of defense, didn't score a point until the end of the first quarter.

The three players of similar stature have already shown a clear gap at this time, knowing that Ben Wallace is still a first-year rookie.

Jeromy Corsi is also doing well, his athleticism has not kept up with the beat in the NBA, but he has not had this problem against Chinese players, and today he played the all-around performance that impressed Lakers fans back then.

But what is really impressive is Starks, this style of playing a weak team is simply ruthless, only played more than 6 minutes in the first quarter, Starks regarded the Chinese team's defense as nothing, jump shots, three-pointers, layups, dunks...... Almost omnipotent, he handed over the data of 5 of 6 shots in such a moment, and scored a game-high 12 points, which can be called the Lakers' second abuse master.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 42:26.

Although the Lakers' bench lineup has dropped by at least two notches in defense, the Chinese team still can't prevent the Lakers' offense, and even Fisher has played the effect of Van Exel.

At the start of the second quarter, the Lakers' bench began to widen the difference, but O'Neal Jr. was still a tragedy because he met a Mongolian big man - Monk Battier.

Battle's strength is at the top level even in the NBA, and it is not a problem to resist O'Neal.

But in another time and space, he only has the strength to get his hands, his speed is outrageously slow, basically slow, slow, slow, and most importantly, not hard enough, his personality is quite a bit of O'Neal's strength, but the talent is far worse than O'Neal's, plus the ball quotient is not good, the ceiling is really not good.

But to be honest, the problem of not being fast enough is not impossible to solve. If he has Yao Ming's diligence, it won't be a problem to mix up with an NBA pseudo-starter. No matter how hard you work, it's not that you don't have the potential to start in the NBA. But the key is that Daba has no ambitions, he just wants to earn enough money to spend in the second half of his life, and he doesn't have much interest in basketball itself, so he can only squander his talent, which is why Yao Ming has always looked down on him.

What Zhang Qian didn't know was that his appearance made Chinese players know the NBA early, and his ability to attract money has also become one of the hot topics after dinner in China. In this era, he was able to easily sign multi-million dollar endorsement contracts, as well as the huge contract of Nike, which made the Chinese people feel incredible when the economy was just beginning to develop. In a word: the money Zhang Zhu earned, for Chinese players in this era, is simply an astronomical amount, even American fans feel that Zhang Fu's ability to absorb gold is too terrifying!

Battle now even dreams of playing in the NBA to make a lot of money, and his motivation to play is much stronger than that of himself in another time and space, and Battle, who is willing to work hard, is definitely not worse than Wang Zhizhi in terms of potential, and even more suitable for the NBA than Wang Zhizhi, after all, his natural divine power is not blown.

Little O'Neal actually has a little advantage in terms of strength compared with Wang Zhizhi, but as soon as he met Battle in the second quarter, the scene that made the fans open their mouths quickly appeared-

At 11 minutes and 32 seconds in the second quarter, the Chinese team attacked, only to see Battle easily stuck O'Neal Jr. behind him on the wing, and after receiving the basketball, he played all the way back and pushed forward, as if the person behind him did not exist at all, and pushed into the penalty area in a few steps, turned around and easily bounced off the helpless O'Neal, and scored two points on the board.

Zhang Yu also looked stupid, this guy who looks a little lucky, is so powerful?

O'Neill Jr. said, "It's so strong! I must have been defending O'Neill just now! ”

A minute later, Battle repeated the same trick, pushing O'Neill Jr. all the way to the penalty area with his back again, and after turning around, he carried Ben Wallace, who was making up the defense, and still scored the ball.

The Lakers players were shocked this time, because this time not only O'Neal Jr.'s waste was bounced off, but even Ben Wallace, who was making up the defense, flew out, and both of them were knocked to the ground by this guy who had never even heard of it.

Mason's eyes lit up, he became more and more appreciative of Ben Wallace, the two of them often practice together now, so he knew best about this guy's ability, that Chinese inside line could easily knock Ben Wallace away, and his strength was definitely not ordinary.

Harris also hurriedly went to the information in his hand, only to find that this guy was still a Mongolian, 211cm tall and weighed an astonishing 300 pounds, but there was only one line on the details - natural divine power and long range.

"Long range?"

Harris couldn't react a little, judging from these two attacks, this should be a strong center who is good at back playing?

Soon, Harris saw the meaning of "long range".

After this seemingly powerful Battle hit the interior twice in a row, it immediately attracted the attention of the Lakers players, but on the third offense, he used the kung fu of covering his teammates without the ball, sneaked outside the three-point line, and quickly shot after receiving the pass, which was much faster than the other time......

"Huh!"

Little O'Neal was instantly dumbfounded, this guy who was completely unable to compete with him in terms of strength, could still shoot three points? What's even worse is his shooting posture, he actually just pads his feet, as if he didn't jump at all, although the shooting speed is a little slower, but this height and this kind of cheating father's shooting method are not really slow, obviously he has worked hard in this regard.

That's right, Battle, a man who is willing to train hard to make money, asked scouts from the United States to write his name in his notebook as soon as he got on the field.

A center who looks very strong, can withstand people in the low post, and can shoot threes, is a bonus, but it will have to be watched again.

Harris felt that there was no need to look at it anymore, O'Neal Jr. was really a scumbag, even if he couldn't beat Wang Zhizhi before, this Battle, who had never heard of him at all, could it be that the Lakers chose such a waste with a No. 17 pick?

O'Neill Jr. would definitely be aggrieved if he knew what his head coach was thinking. The previous Wang Zhizhi, although he was inferior to him in strength and athleticism, had too many feints, and his sense of rhythm and technique made him difficult to parry. As for the guy in the back, he was even worse, he found that he couldn't bear the strength of the other party at all, and he didn't even have the strength to parry. Although he has never fought O'Neill, it is estimated that O'Neal has this power.

Battle was still a little nervous when he came on the court, after all, he had never played such a high-level opponent, but after finding that O'Neill Jr. couldn't bear himself at all, his abusive attributes also began to play, and this is also a guy who is as fierce as a tiger.

The main players of the Lakers frowned off the court and watched the Mongolian big man continue to attack inside, and then Ben Wallace did not believe in evil and personally went up to defend Battle, but he was still pushed to the restricted area to score, which made Harris know that it was time for him to make a substitution.

At 8 minutes and 14 seconds in the second quarter, the Lakers replaced O'Neal Jr. with Mason in advance, and let the two short interior players guard the basket, in fact, they wanted to use Mason to resist Battle and try how much his limit was.

"This little guy is good!"

Zhang Wei looked at the Mongolian man who was scoring points on the court and roaring angrily in the sky, and had some thoughts in his heart, "If this guy can resist Mason, then the Lakers can consider getting him next year." The Chinese team's two inside lines look much stronger than O'Neal Jr."

After Mason came on the court, he found Battle on the offensive end first.

Just kidding, he really hasn't served anyone in the confrontation, if Zhang Yu doesn't raise the speed first, he is also confident that he will knock him away, even O'Neill He can resist hard, is there anyone on this earth who can suppress him in strength?

This is really not, although Battle's strength is strong, it can only rely on height and weight to be slightly superior, but Mason is even lower, and if the two really wrestle, there will be no results.

In fact, Mason was strong with his back for a long time, but he couldn't hit the penalty area at all, and he had no choice but to force a turn, but he just fell into the joint defensive trap of the Chinese team.

"Damn!"

Mason's face turned red now, he was actually cut off by two Chinese youngsters, how can this performance be the second leader of the Lakers?

The Chinese team launched a fast attack, and Li Nan chased down and hit a three-point shot.

The score unconsciously came to 48:39, and the Chinese team narrowed the difference to single digits, and the earth-shattering cheers of the fans on the scene finally made the Lakers players start to feel bad.

"I don't believe you can beat me!"

Mason is still struggling with Battle, and although it is difficult to score on the offensive end against the two tall inside bags of the Chinese team, he feels that he can make the two guys disappear as well on the offensive end.

But the problem is, Battle will shoot three points!

This is really a bit of a pain, a top-level big-tonnage inside, actually likes to run to the outside to shoot three-pointers, Mason said "I have never seen such a brazen person"!

Soon, Mason was covered by Battle for Li Nan, and accidentally let Battle as a cover slip to the outside, and then the Mongolian big man used his obscene three-pointer to shoot the ball almost on the spot......

"Huh!"

But what made Mason vomit blood was that the goal went in again!

Battle was happy like a child after scoring a goal, Li Nan's terrifying three-point shooting rate in the Olympics made people dare not let him shoot easily, as long as he went to Li Nan to cover without the ball, the opponent must pay attention to Li Nan, but his three-point shot is not bad, today's hand is very good, he is confident that he can throw all the ball in outside the three-point line, so that the American team also pays attention to himself, he also wants to go to the NBA to play and earn dollars.

Zhang Zhu and the other Lakers had to play, these bench players were still sharp, but they couldn't prevent the Chinese team's attack.

As soon as the main force of the Lakers came on the court, it was difficult for Battle and Wang Zhizhi to attack the restricted area, even if the two of them pulled to the outside together, Mutombo and Mason's footsteps were enough to keep up, and after too many people were piled up on the outside, Zhang Zhu and Finley's footsteps could make it more difficult for the Chinese team to get long-distance shots.

Zhang Zhu still does whatever he wants on the offensive end, even if the Chinese team uses joint defense to surround him, less than three people are useless, but the defense of three people is enough for Zhang Zhu to easily assist his teammates to score.

On the Lakers' side, there was a Chinese team that might not be able to defend with three people, and the game was fast and returned to the Lakers' side.

Although the Chinese team has put up a lineup of five people who can shoot three-pointers, the embarrassing thing is that they don't even have a chance to shoot, and the Lakers have put on a rare outside defensive position, preferring to let you play inside, but never let you shoot three-pointers.

At the end of the first half, the score came to 69:46 again, and the Chinese team fell into an embarrassing situation of difficulty scoring in the second half of the second quarter.

In fact, the game has basically lost its suspense at this point.

Even fans know that the physical strength of Chinese players is generally not good, and they are afraid that they will not be able to hold on to the whole game when they play a game of this intensity.

In the third quarter, the main force of the Lakers widened the difference to 30+ in the first half, and then in the face of the Lakers' substitutes, the Chinese team did not have the strength of the early part of the second quarter.

After the end of the quarter, the score was 104:64, and the Lakers' lead reached 40 points, and the huge difference in strength made it difficult for the Chinese team to set off a counterattack, especially after the third quarter, the main forces of the Chinese team had exhausted their physical strength.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers did not replace the main force and faced the game with full benches.

The Chinese team breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and if the Lakers continued to attack in the fourth quarter, the score of this game would go to 60 points.

O'Neal Jr. is still tragic, because he has no physical strength in the fourth quarter, and in the face of Wang Zhizhi and Battle, he is still the one who was beaten violently, this kind of bad performance has attracted American scouts to look at it, what a shame!

The final score was 138:90, and the Lakers won by 48 points, which disappointed many people who thought that the Chinese team could maintain the difference below 20 points before the game, and they originally thought that the Chinese team could maintain the difference below 30 points in the face of the dream team in the Olympic Games.

The answer disappointed Chinese fans and some industry insiders, but fortunately, China's two inside lines did not disappoint.

Wang Zhizhi scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and Battle scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, including 4 of 5 three-point shots.

O'Neal Jr. disappointed everyone, the Lakers' No. 17 pick in the first round, played 20 minutes today, only 4 points and 4 rebounds, this performance is more than 108,000 miles worse than Wang Zhizhi and Battle.

The biggest effect of this preseason game is to make the two young centers of the Chinese team suddenly enter the attention of the American media, one is Wang Zhizhi, who has solid basic skills, skilled inside footwork, and a range as far as the three-point line; The other is Battier, who is strong, has a back-to-back shot that can top people, and has a range that is also as far as the three-point line.
