Chapter 18: Humiliating O'Neill with Crooked Tricks
On TV, on the Internet, in the newspapers, all the media are promoting the Washington Wizards' away game against the Los Angeles Lakers on November 28. It seems that this is a once-in-a-millennium scene. **The TV station fielded Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith gold commentators, and ESPN fielded gold commentators from Bill Wharton and Magic Elvin Johnson. Even CCTV5 also sent a reasonable pair of Han Qiaosheng and Zhang Weiping.
"Audience friends, audience friends, good evening, this is the ESPN studio, we are going to broadcast the Washington Wizards game against the Los Angeles Lakers live, I am your old friend Bill Wharton, and this is my old partner Magic Johnson, and we will broadcast this battle live for you today. The Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Lakers have been in great form since the start of the game, and all the media think there are a lot to watch in this game, Ervin, what do you think is the biggest thing to watch in this game? Bill Wharton opened the sentence.
"The biggest attraction of this game is the big matchup between the rookie center and the veteran center. Kwame Brown, the first high school champion, has been in good shape since the start of the season, and in the last game against the Clippers, he scored 1o points, 21 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 5 assists in just 3 quarters. On the other hand, the big shark O'Neill is at the peak of his life, experience and state are at the peak of his life, O'Neal has released words before the game to give Kwame Brown a little color, this game must be Mars hit the earth, will definitely rub off dazzling sparks. ”
"Aside from the collision between Kwame Brown and the big shark O'Neal, is there anything else that deserves our attention?"
"Another highlight is Jordan vs. Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant is said to be the closest person to Michael Jordan, and this Jordan's comeback gives him a chance to prove himself, and I think the matchup between the two of them will also be very good."
"Okay, there's still 3o minutes left in the game, let's watch a clip from yesterday's game first."
As the bus slowly drove towards the stadium, I saw a fan holding a cartoon of me in human costume stabbing a shark in the stomach with a dagger in his hand, with the narration on it: Kill him!
I was surprised and asked Richard Hamilton, "Are we fans from Washington coming to Los Angeles?" ”
"Huh, is it possible? This must be the Clippers fans who are causing trouble! ”
"No, it won't!"
"How could it be? In the past 20 years, the Clippers have been bullied by the Lakers, and the Clippers are so angry?"
This is the first time someone has put up a slogan of support for me away from home. The heart is interesting and touching, even though their purpose is not pure.
Actually, I basically didn't have any pressure in this game, and even if I couldn't guard O'Neal, it didn't affect me much, after all, this shark has hardly lost on the court. O'Neill at his peak is not something that can be defended by one person, otherwise there would be no shark slashing tactics.
As for Jordan? He may be a little stressed because he looks at Kobe Bryant from time to time when he's standing on the court. After all, it was a great shame to be defeated by a man who called himself second, despite his old age. In this game, Jordan asked to defend the popular star Kobe Bryant himself, and he may want to tell the kid that he is unique, and no one can be a copy of him.
Lakers: Shaquille O'Neal, Robert Horry, Rick Fox, Kobe Bryant, Derrick Fisher
Wizards: Kwame Brown, Christian Leitner, Richard Hamilton, Michael Jordan, Tyrone Luc.
At the start of the game, I jumped the ball and won against the big sharks, which is probably one of my advantages over the big sharks.
Tyrone Lue dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant recruited Jordan directly, and it seems that he also wants to make a name for himself, which may be the best choice for two paranoids, just 1 against 1.
"Kobe Bryant defends Michael Jordan, this is definitely the most anticipated moment for basketball fans in the United States, is Jordan still beautiful, or can Jordan II snatch the throne? We'll see! Bill Wharton yelled in the studio.
But the first ball has nothing to do with the two of them, the basketball passed to me, I leaned against O'Neal with my back, felt his power, it was very strong, I couldn't hold him at all, I held the ball in my right hand, my left hand stretched out my index finger, the second set of tactics.
Christian Leitner suddenly stepped back to the outside to make an off-ball block for Hamilton, who pressed against Leitner's shoulder and rushed into the three-point line, passing the ball just right, a mid-range shot, and a solid shot into the basket.
It's a tactic that head coach Collinster has set out for me, and in recent games, I've been undisputedly number one in assists on the team, so Collins saw the prototype of a playful centre-forward, so he designed it especially for me.
O'Neill used his broad arms to block me behind him, and said with a salty mouth: "Boy, why don't you attack yourself, haha!" ”
The Lakers pulled the whole team apart, and only me and the big sharks were left on the inside. Fisher hoisted the ball to O'Neal steadily, O'Neal dribbled with his right hand, and his left shoulder slammed into my chest, once, twice, three times, I gritted my teeth and waited motionlessly for his fourth impact, O'Neal's right leg suddenly stepped towards the basket, his shoulder hit my shoulder, I was knocked sideways, O'Neal passed a position, O'Neal ended the attack with a strong dunk.
"The Lakers pulled away, O'Neal got the ball, O'Neal wanted to solve Kwame Brown 1-on-1, the two of them were competing, it was completely a contest of strength, Kwame Brown didn't retreat, and over, O'Neal won Kwame in the competition, and told people with a strong dunk that he was the No. 1 center in the NBA......"
The audience cheered.
I stood under the basket with my hands on my hips, looking at the shark dangling on the basket, my heart was full of helplessness, this is the strength of the NBA's No. 1 center, I don't lose a lot of him in absolute strength, but his experience is definitely a few streets behind me.
"Boy, welcome to the NBA!" O'Neal finally got off the basket and said to me with a smug face.
How many times has anyone said this to me? Forget about jì! Is it that every rookie has to be said n times, a little helpless.
The Wizards attacked, Jordan made an emergency stop to get rid of Kobe Bryant's entanglement, received the ball and turned around to shoot, and the ball hollowed into the net. Jordan waved his arms and shouted with his mouth wide open, as if to tell the world that he was still the omnipotent god.
The Lakers pulled out again, and O'Neal wanted to go a little deeper this time and get closer to the basket. One, two, three, but this third time it was so hard that it knocked me back a step, and O'Neill half-turned and solved the fight again with a small hook.
"O'Neal, hook hand, the ball goes in again, Kwame Brown still has little experience, and it's still a little difficult to defend O'Neill one-on-one! But it doesn't matter, he's still young, and this is his third NBA, but he has a bright future! Charles Barkley explained.
Collins asked from the sidelines if I needed help, I waved my hand, I wanted to try again, and I felt like I had found a solution.
If a center can be called great on the offensive end, what should be the most important thing?
Technology? Strength? No, none of these! The most important thing on the offensive end is rhythm, and if a center can have a steady and unstoppable offensive rhythm, then the center can be completely called great on the offensive end.
Judging from O'Neal's two attacks just now, his rhythm is very simple, first three consecutive impacts, especially the third impact, he will use his maximum strength, crash into the space, and then end the fight. Simple! Highly efficient! Relative to his strength, he is basically unguarded in the NBA.
As a defensive center, I just have to disrupt his rhythm on the defensive end, and when the rhythm is out of order, I don't believe he can do whatever he wants. From the strength just now, it seems that my strength is not much less than his, my degree, my bounce, and my physical flexibility are all stronger than his, and from the perspective of my body, I am also a monster, and I believe that I can disrupt his rhythm.
The Wizards attacked, Lightner singled Robert Horry, the basketball touched the basket, and Rick Fox picked up a rebound.
Lakers offense.
It's still 1-on-1, Shaquille O'Neal vs. Kwame Brown. All the people pulled away, just a simple 1-on-1.
"It's still 1-on-1, Collins should change tactics, Kwame Brown obviously can't defend against O'Neill 1-on-1, no one on this planet can defend against this shark 1-on-1, if it continues like this, it will greatly hit Kwame Brown's confidence, which is extremely detrimental to his exhibition!" Bill Wharton is making his own point of view like crazy.
O'Neill took the ball and muttered, "Boy, you're still far away!" ”
Pressed against O'Neill tightly, harder than the previous times, once, twice, felt the frequency of his impact with my chest, came, I suddenly retreated, O'Neill's body hit the air at once, O'Neill fell to the ground.
I picked up the basketball, slapped it hard to the front court in the midst of everyone's stunned eyes, and ran as hard as I could.
There was an empty space in front of me, and with no one chasing after me, I ended the round with a two-handed slam dunk.
I stood under each other's baskets and yelled, venting my feelings.
The cartoon of a man using a dagger to solve a shark outside the arena was held aloft.
Jordan ran over to me to celebrate, and Tyrone Rue jumped on my back.
I humiliated him, it's true, not a dream, at least in this round.
