Chapter 398: Bloodthirsty Black Mamba

In the third regular season game of his career, Lu Xiaofeng saw the power of Duncan, the NBA's No. 1 power forward.

As a teammate of the national team, Yao Ming's ability on the offensive end, Lu Xiaofeng is also clear.

The representatives of the new generation of hot insiders, Stoudemire Jr., and Lu Xiaofeng have already fought twice.

Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng already has a deep understanding of today's NBA's excellent interior line, and he has paid enough attention to O'Neal in his heart, but after playing the court, he found that he still underestimated his dominance.

Don't talk about the defensive end, just talk about the offensive end, O'Neal's destructive power is not at the same level as other interior lines in the NBA. This is not his peak level, and now it is good to have his peak eight achievements.

Some people may say that Duncan's dominance on the basketball court is no worse than O'Neal's, and, judging from the later generations in Lu Xiaofeng's memory, Duncan has achieved even more honors than O'Neal and higher achievements in the NBA, but it is something that has been slowly accumulated over a long period of time, and when it comes to the years of his peak, Duncan is definitely not as dazzling as O'Neal, which no one should question.

As a super insider, Duncan does have dominance, but his impact on the game, like his character, is unpretentious, from offense to defense, from playmaking to finishing, everywhere, but not at all conspicuous.

If you want to say that Duncan is unstoppable on the offensive end, or flawless on the defensive end, it is debatable, in the NBA for so many years, Duncan's most scoring season is only 25.5 points per game, and the average rebounds per game has never reached 13, and the blocks have never reached the average of 3 times per game.

Everyone knows that Duncan is excellent and is the best choice for the best power forward, but the personal honors of scoring champion, rebounding champion, block king, and best defensive player have never been with him.

The reason for this is because Duncan's dominance is a kind of all-round impact on the game, and it is a stable output for a long time.

And the same dominant-level interior, O'Neal's dominance is concentrated on the offensive end.

has won the scoring title, and the shooting percentage has ranked first in the NBA for many years, which is the most intuitive data embodiment of O'Neal on the offensive end.

Once he gets the basketball in the low post, there's basically no way to stop him from scoring, and even if he can't shoot, how many people can compete with him for rebounds in the three-second zone?

In the 2001 Finals, O'Neal played a super stat of 33+15.8+4.8+3.4+ shooting rate of 57.3% in the face of the best defensive player, which was his dominance at his peak.

When he was at his peak, who could guard against him? How to prevent him? Is there any other way than fouls and "shark slashing tactics"?

Thankfully, Stern and the rest of the NBA are flawed that, like any giant in history or mythology, O'Neal has weaknesses.

The first is, of course, the miserable free throw shooting, which has been under-shooting percentage for many years. It can't be helped, anyone with O'Neal's talent will not be interested in practicing free throws, isn't Chamberlain the same?

The second weakness is a little more subtle, and that is the relatively poor defense. This has something to do with O'Neal's physical strength, he does not have the tenacity and paranoid nature of Jordan and Kobe in training, although his physical strength is not a weakness, it is relatively normal, and he can't do it offensively and defensively. When he focuses on the offensive end, the defensive end will inevitably be lazy.

However, tonight's O'Neill is clearly different.

Seeing O'Neal pressing Mime to make up for the dunk, Kobe Bryant, who returned to the offensive end, of course couldn't sit still, and as soon as he arrived in the front court, he reached out to ask for the ball.

Everyone was waiting to see the good show of the "OK" battle, of course Lu Xiaofeng would not be puzzled, and as soon as he saw Kobe Bryant asking for the ball, he passed it without hesitation.

Kobe Bryant took the ball outside the three-point line, Wade hurriedly greeted him, but he didn't dare to defend, and Kobe Bryant was unusual, he didn't mean to play alone, but reached out and asked Mim to come out to cover him.

"Oh~"

As soon as he saw Kobe's actions, the audience at the scene was boiling, he was going to borrow Mime's cover to play O'Neal in a dislocation single!

Barkley, who was commenting on the scene, was also instantly excited:

"Haha! I love it! Off-the-field grievances, settled on the field. Shaq, don't back down, come out and go one-on-one! ”

It's really "not a big deal to watch the excitement"!

The center of the NBA, a fool will run to the three-point line to go head-to-head with Kobe!

It's a pity that O'Neal is not a fool, he didn't follow Mime out, but stood on the edge of the three-second zone, if it weren't for the NBA's "defensive three-second" rule, he probably wouldn't even be out of the three-second zone.

Wade, who was blocked by Mime, decisively chose to bypass from the outside, and then chased after Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant saw that O'Neal was not fooled, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, so as soon as he gritted his teeth, he rushed in at O'Neal, "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road"!

Outside the three-second zone, of course, Kobe's world, and inside the three-second zone, it has become O'Neal's kingdom, but Kobe Bryant is not afraid of him.

Kobe Bryant knew that O'Neal would definitely not let him go to the basket easily, let alone dunk it, but this kind of outside breakthrough inside encounter, once there is physical contact, the referee will basically blow the inside foul, so Kobe Bryant moved forward bravely, there was no intention of dodging at all, and he made up his mind to make O'Neal a defensive foul.

“Foul!”

As O'Neal said "the sports car hit the wall", after the strong physical contact, Bryant screamed, staggered and fell out, and the basketball thrown to the basket was photographed by O'Neal.

But the whistle that Kobe Bryant was expecting did not come.

O'Neal VS Kobe, in the first round, Kobe Bryant was defeated.

Kobe Bryant only had time to spread his hands at the referee, so he could only quickly return to defense, picked up Wade, who picked up the basketball, started quickly, and wanted to have a fast attack of defensive counterattack, but fortunately, Lu Xiaofeng was prepared, quickly changed defenses, and stopped him.

It's another positional battle, and the Heat still focus on O'Neal, but the Lakers quickly changed their lineup, and Butler decisively recovered the bag.

However, O'Neal's passing is also famous, the bag is useless, the moment when Lu Xiaofeng makes up for Eddie Jones, Damon Jones cuts in the air, O'Neal quickly shoots the ball, and Damon Jones makes a layup.

In less than a minute of the opening game, O'Neal contributed 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block, and the dominance of the court was vividly displayed, and Kobe's face became more and more ugly.

Of course, he will not surrender, he wants the ball in his hand again, and in the face of Wade's defense with a lower center of gravity, he directly pulls a three-pointer outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

"Brush!"

The basketball hollowed into the net, and the scene was thunderous, but Kobe's cold face did not change, and Wade was pasted again, and he actively defended.

Meme went around the front to defend O'Neal, Odom assisted, Haslem was free, missed the shot, and Kobe Bryant won the rebound.

Quick counterattack, Kobe dribbled all the way forward, Wade could only keep retreating, but there was still one step away from the three-point line, and Kobe Bryant pulled out his hand again.

"Brush!"

Another hollow, three-point re-hit, Kobe Bryant is still ruthless.

O'Neal was in a three-second zone, but Wade couldn't pass the ball in time under Kobe's interference, and O'Neal was blown for three seconds.

The ball is converted, and it is the Lakers' turn to attack.

Kobe Bryant didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball, but used Mime's cover to get rid of Wade's defense and run out.

When the ball arrived, Lu Xiaofeng passed the ball in time, outside the three-point line on the right wing, Kobe Bryant received the ball and threw it, and shot three points again.

"Brush!"

In the expectant eyes of the audience, it entered again.

"Oh!"

"Bang Bang!"

"Kobe! Bryant! ”

“MVP! MVP! ”

Applause and cheers flooded the arena, fans couldn't help but jump from their seats, and the familiar "MVP" shouts rang out again in Staples Arena.

Bryant's face was still tense, but he finally raised his right hand and made a three-point gesture.

This is Kobe Bryant's counterattack, maybe his court dominance is not as good as O'Neal's, but when it comes to scoring explosiveness, he has never been afraid of anyone.

Kobe is still called "Peter Pan" now, but Lu Xiaofeng remembered the future nickname - "Black Mamba".

The bloodthirsty Black Mamba is starting to exert its strength, is the aging "Big Shark" and the newborn calf "Flash" ready?
