After the All-Star break, Zhang Mao can always hear the media compare the performance of the Bulls with him when he is doing well, which is a disguised slap in the face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhang Wei didn't have any special feelings, if he really wanted to be slapped in the face, it would not be his turn, but O'Neal had the best chance of being slapped in the face by the gang leader, because last year, the Magic team killed Jordan, who had just returned.

"I'm going to let him taste my big elbows and tell him,·yang, wah·ah, soh......"

These were O'Neill's exact words before he set off for Orlando, and no one knew what he meant by that.

But it's clear that he's making some weird pronunciations to imitate Chinese.

The Los Angeles Times reacted quickly, making headlines when the Magic team boarded the plane and elevating it to the level of racism, causing another stir in the Asian American community.

The Magic's top brass received numerous calls while their team was still in the sky, and the Los Angeles media were hotly debated about whether O'Neal was racist.

On Sunday at the Great Western Forum Arena, the Lakers will face the Magic.

O'Neill already regretted a little after getting off the plane, because he was afraid of public anger.

But the question is, who should appease his anger?

Could it be that he let Zhang Fu bully himself so recklessly?

"I know this, no, how could I be angry? When I'm weak, I care about those racisms, because I haven't posed a threat to anyone yet, so that's 100% racism, it's 120% vicious attacks. ”

Zhang Yi got the news on the 16th, but his reaction was unexpected by the media, and he couldn't see the slightest anger at all.

"I'm not angry now, that's because I'm strong enough now, and those people are saying these racist words at this moment, obviously trying to affect my mentality, they want to make me angry, and then lose my mind." Zhang Wei shook his head and made a look of disdain, "But it's a pity, I'll beat him on the court and then tell him how I'm going to fight back." It is useless to warn ignorant and foolish children now, who can only grow up when they know the pain. ”

O'Neill was angry when he heard Zhang Fu's words, and he originally wanted to apologize, but he was so squeezed by Zhang Zhu, of course those apologies couldn't be spoken, but he held his breath again.

Zhang Wei is really bad enough, whether O'Neill's words are racist or not, he directly gave it.

By the way, he also ridiculed the big shark fiercely, and then blocked O'Neill's way to defend himself without a trace.

If O'Neill had apologized as soon as he got off the plane, the matter would not have continued to ferment.

But now that he was so angry that he canceled the idea of apologizing and explaining after getting off the plane, he completely sat down on the nature of his racism, and the matter was no longer a trivial matter.

Because of this drama, the atmosphere between the two teams before the game was a little tense, O'Neal became the target of a lot of media criticism for a while, and the Chinese and Asians who have been jumping recently have a new target.

On the day of the game, the topic has been hyped beyond O'Neal's expectations, and although the big fat man does not plan to apologize to Zhang Mao, he still explained at the pre-game press conference: "It's absolutely crazy to say that I have racism against Asians, someone must want to cause trouble." I've always been a joker, I just made a joke, 70% of people would think it was a joke, only 30% would think it wasn't. ”

But these explanations had little effect, the incident had already fermented, and O'Neill missed the best opportunity to remedy.

"It's better not to ignore the past, but to learn from it, otherwise history will repeat itself."

Zhang Mao's pre-match words were a pun, and the devil knows if he was referring to this game, or if he was referring to O'Neill's alleged racism?

Our koala baby is shrewd, and his pre-race words are not leaky.

After winning the game for a while, he can mock as much as he wants, but losing the game will not make people have a handle on him, and being invincible forever is the king.

The current big boss of the Magic team is Hardaway, although O'Neal is the real cornerstone of the team, but the Magic and Orlando fans prefer "pennies", who calls people to play picturesque.

Hardaway shot over 50 percent from the field in both seasons and had one of the best offensive efficiency among any guard in the league.

But how much O'Neal has to do is to know only after O'Neal leaves, and now even O'Neill may not know how much he has helped Hardaway.

Many people later said that if Hardaway had not been injured, his future achievements would have been infinite.

But there are no ifs in life, only inevitable!

Hardaway has indeed shown his agility and efficiency around O'Neal, and has also shown his demeanor as Jordan's successor.

But when O'Neal left, he hit rock bottom in the first four games of the new season, shooting less than 30 percent from the field, which was a mess, and then he got injured.

Why did Hardaway get injured so quickly?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hardaway simply cannot support a team alone, and his "agility", or "spirituality", will not work after leaving O'Neill. Without the help of Big Brother to help him attract defense, Hardaway's spirituality could not be brought into play in the high-intensity pack.

Yes, he has a very good sense of the ball and a beautiful game, but that doesn't mean he can look down on it, and there are countless people on the street court who have a good sense of the ball, but there are few people who can play in the NBA.

Hardaway didn't suffer a real serious injury in the '96-97 season, but after his comeback, his efficiency still couldn't recover from the previous two seasons, his 44.7% shooting rate was no longer efficient, and his scoring and assists both declined.

Of course, Zhang Wei knows how much of a bonus O'Neal has for outside players, but this product is not suitable for his type of outside player.

He needs teammates to help him with the defensive formation, he needs space to break through under the basket, and he needs high mobility on the inside to pick up his own.

But O'Neill can only help him with the defense, and then occupy the entire penalty area by himself, and if he doesn't want to let him play the green leaf, his strategic role will be compressed by nearly half, which is something that Zhang Yu can't accept.

That's why he doesn't welcome O'Neal, he's not willing to change his style of play for other stars, he's not willing to make any sacrifices.

O'Neal and he are the kind of cornerstone players who have a chance to win a championship as long as the team is willing to build a roster around them.

And such a player, unless he is almost 30 years old and has not won the championship, will never partner with another player of the same level, the most important reason is that he is unwilling to sacrifice for others and unwilling to let himself accommodate others.

The Lakers had a heavy task on the defensive end today, with Harris treading Campbell and Bisson to go around the front.

O'Neill's footsteps are not slow, but this guy's huge body is there, and it will be affected somewhat.

The Lakers know that "going around the front" is not the best way, but this is the best option that the Lakers can come up with at this stage, because defending O'Neal is an even more unlikely option, at least the Lakers don't have this kind of strong interior line. Even if they can recruit Mutombo next season, the "African Mountains" can't guard O'Neal, which is a matter of defensive style.

So, the whole team worked together defensively, finding a way to cut off O'Neal's receiving lanes, and minimizing the number of times he had the ball, and that's all the Lakers can do right now.

However, the Magic's outside line must be targeted fiercely, O'Neal can score 30 points on the inside, but no one on the outside of the Magic team can score 20 points, which is the focus of the Lakers' defense today.

"Do we need to defend against O'Neal?"

Zhang Wei also had this question in his heart, but he already had the answer.

He felt that the Lakers didn't need O'Neal, because if O'Neal was in the East, how to defend him was a problem for the Bulls, and it would be good for Jordan to kill O'Neal.

Although Mutombo can't guard against a monster player like O'Neal, his restrictions on outside stars are far greater than O'Neal's.

If the Lakers' opponent in the Finals is the Bulls in the future, then Uncle Mu will be much more useful than O'Neal on the defensive end, and at the same time, Mutombo's defensive role is much stronger than O'Neal's for a star in the West.

As for the offense?

Just kidding, it's enough to have your own in this regard.

The Lakers' current offensive firepower is not bad at all, if they can dig up an inside killer like Barkley, why should they bother to pursue O'Neal, who will inevitably open his mouth in the next contract?

Jerry West was also watching the game today, but the "Godfather of the Lakers" knew very well that O'Neal had no chance with the Lakers unless they sent Zhang Mao away.

Of course, this is impossible, Old Bass's attitude towards Zhang Qi is better now than he was towards the magician, who called him still a businessman in essence, then naturally he has to talk about business.

Zhang Zhu's current commercial value is second only to Jordan, and it is even more unsurpassed in terms of potential, it is estimated that the Bulls will really exchange Jordan, and Old Bass will refuse it, because Zhang Zhu's potential in terms of ability is also at the Jordan level.

To put it mildly, Zhang Qi is now not only the Lakers' baby, but also David Stern's baby.

The "Godfather of the Lakers" has actually caused the elder Bass to be dissatisfied because he failed to meet Zhang Mao's request to trade for Mutombo.

If he really had a conflict with Zhang Fu, then he should be the Lakers godfather who left the next day.

The Lakers' appearance ceremony, Zhang Fu's appearance has been completely different from the beginning of the season.

He wasn't even 19 years old,

He's already won 1 Rookie Game MVP,

He has won 1 All-Star MVP,

The most powerful high school rookie in NBA history,

The greatest slam dunk king in NBA history,

He's a 6-foot-7 forward from Australia.

Lakers' great No. 14, "Dragonborn" Zhang ...... Unclean......

When the live DJ appeared on the stage, it was no longer just a simple introduction to his location, origin and jersey number.

Every time he gets an accolade, it is read out by the DJ when he appears.

Zhang Wei still remembers that in his first game, the live DJ just read: "Small forward, from Australia, No. 14 - Zhang ...... Unclean......! ”

Now it's different, he also began to learn from Jordan, when he played, he would lie alone in the center circle in the dark, with two physical trainers waiting aside, one pressing his shoulders and one pressing his legs, and his playing time alone was about to catch up with the sum of the other players except Magic, and the style couldn't be bigger.

"Phew, I haven't even played in the playoffs, and I'm like a triple champion!"

O'Neal saw that Zhang Mao's style was so big in the player's tunnel, and the anger in his heart didn't come to a place.

How can this bastard dare to be on par with Jordan in terms of appearance specifications?

Zhang Qi is not only on par with Jordan when he appears, but his personal appearance ceremony is probably more high-profile than Jordan.

"Sprinkle magnesium powder" link, this is a must-see program before each game of the Lakers, whether at home or away, whenever Zhang Yu opens his arms in front of the technical table, throws the magnesium powder in his hand into the air, and then makes a monarchy in the world, the TV screen has to give him a long close-up.

Lakers starters: Van Exel, Cebaros, Finley, Zhang, Campbell.

Magic starters: Anfernee Hardaway, Nick Anderson, Dennis Scott, Horace Grant, Shaquille O'Neal.

Zhang Zhu was pushed to the No. 4 position today, which exceeded the expectations of Magic head coach Brian Hill, who made a lot of preparations for the breakthrough of defending Zhang Zhu, but once he ran to the two low positions, most of the pre-game arrangements would be nullified.

After the All-Star break, many teams have begun to take a lot of targeted defense against Zhang Fu's weak sidehand dribble, but Zhang Fu has a solid back-to-back offense, so he doesn't eat this set.

At first, Zhang was a little affected, but he quickly found a way to deal with it - when targeted, he would reduce his outside ball and go directly to the ribs or low post to receive the ball.

There are too many people in the Lakers who can hold the ball, Fan Maniac can hold the ball, Magic can hold the ball, Zhang Wei is not afraid of being trapped, he just can't hold the ball on the outside all the time, but this makes him play more reasonably.

To be honest, he is much luckier than James later, if he changes positions, James has these reliable teammates in the first year, and he can also play 25+6+6 data.

The "Cobra" Grant of the Magic team was a little nervous, he didn't know much about Zhang Mao's strength, but he could make O'Neal grit his teeth with hatred, but he seemed helpless, even if he guessed, he could guess that this guy was by no means in vain.

O'Neal's vision has always been very high, and he dared to ridicule David Robinson as a soft egg, but he never said that Zhang Zhu had any problems with his strength, which is very revealing.

In fact, O'Neal did not complain about Zhang Yi in terms of ability, and even Jordan did not question it. This also proves in disguise that although Zhang Wei is hated, he does have rampant capital, which makes Granger, who has assisted Jordan win three consecutive championships, not to take it lightly.

Zhang Wei is also looking at Granger, this guy nicknamed "Cobra", belongs to the jack-of-all-trades No. 4 position, in addition to not being able to shoot three-pointers and break through on the outside, his all-round is no worse than the later Odom, and his ability is enough to assist any All-Star inside.

This guy can shoot, grab boards, defend, and respond, have height and weight, and can run and jump, the only drawback is that the individual ability is not enough, although comprehensive, but none of them have achieved the top level.

However, if you put his positioning on the three-master, then his biggest advantage is that he is versatile, he can hitchhike with anyone, he used to partner with Jordan, he can respond, the speed can keep up, and the height is high enough, which can make up for the lack of ability of the center. Now partnered with O'Neal, his mid-range shot can tear up space, have defense, rebounding, and strategy, and being a coolie can also allow O'Neal to focus on offense.

In the opening jump ball, O'Neill narrowly beat Campbell.

"Rubbish!"

Zhang Wei said in his heart that O'Neill's goods were at least 320 pounds, and Campbell couldn't win, which was indeed a bit of a waste.

But that's a bit early, there are no weak chickens in the NBA, and sometimes attitude is very important.

As soon as O'Neill was in position, he saw Campbell swinging a few handfuls in front of him.

Zhang Qi is even more arrogant, he is directly one and a half steps away from his defender, and he can't tell whether he is defending Grant or O'Neal, he is simply between the two, which is a bit excessive.

However, the referees just don't blow it, and this season, the referees' scale of "illegal defense" has dropped again and again.

The rumor that the illegal defense will be canceled seems to be more than groundless at the moment, these referees should have received a signal from above, at the beginning of the season, they will blow a little, but now they rarely blow illegal defense, which is obviously a warm-up and test for the complete cancellation of illegal defense in the future.

O'Neill just wants to scold his mother in his heart, although the scale of blowing punishment has become larger, but Zhang Zhu's gameplay is too much, isn't it, this scale is not enough 404?

Zhang Fu is also testing the scale of the referee, today is the home game, he feels that his code rate should be able to pass the review, although it is an ultra-thin code, but it is also a yard, as long as he does not completely dismount, the referee should turn a blind eye.

Campbell's circle had some effect on the Magic's outside passes, and it took O'Neal a long time to get the basketball.

But before he could be happy, the ultra-thin Zhang Yan appeared beside him from the middle lane in just a second, directly disrupting his footsteps and follow-up movements, and almost violating the rules.

Granger would have moved in the opposite direction, and O'Neal would have had an open shot as soon as he passed the ball.

But the problem is that O'Neal has emotions in his heart, and today he just wanted to cut off Zhang Mao's face with a high score, but instead fell into a defensive trap.

Zhang Qi got the rebound and turned around quickly, I don't know if it was just the beginning of the game, the Magic player's retreat was a little slow, Zhang Qi continued to overtake after starting speed, and after rushing to the front court, only Hardaway was on par with him.

"Get out of here!"

Zhang Mao fully showed his violence, and when he saw that Hardaway dared to interfere with him, he immediately took the ball into his arms, and used the touchdown position of a rugby player to knock the Jordan successor away, and scored the ball in a long-distance run.

"Dead fatty, you will soon know that you can't control my rage!"

After Zhang Qi scored, he pocketed the corners of his mouth when he passed by O'Neill, and said with a full spirit.
