O'Neal's bravery under the basket lifted the spirits of Cleveland fans, and the Sharks were aggressive as soon as the game began, showing off his strength and size to the fullest.

On the offensive end, O'Neal dunked hard, and on the defensive end, there was a restricted area he guarded, and even Chamberlain had to avoid his striker for a while.

Watching O'Neill push the sweaty Evans away with a one-handed slam buckle, Chamberlain was secretly frightened.

This is the first time he and O'Neal have met in the finals, he has heard before, O'Neal is very lazy, he doesn't play in the preseason, he is lazy and lazy in the regular season, he will take it seriously in the playoffs, and only when it comes to the finals, will he give 100% attention.

There is no doubt that this time O'Neal showed 200 percent of his skills, and the result was that the Warriors were unstoppable for a while.

Chamberlain wanted to change the defense several times to deal with O'Neal, he was confident that he could solve this old guy, but the old Nelson did not allow it, he asked Chamberlain to accumulate body and keep the counterattack, and the heavy responsibility to deal with O'Neal was on Evans.

However, after this attack, Chamberlain couldn't help but go up and ask Evans in a low voice, "Brother, how is it, do you want us to change it for the time being?" ”

Evans wiped his sweat and gasped, "I'm fine, Z, don't worry, I can still withstand it." ”

Chamberlain patted Evans on the shoulder, who was slightly apprehensive, and said: "This big guy is almost forty years old, and he still has such dominance, I really don't know how Allen led the team to fight against him ten years ago!" ”

Evans just needed to vent, no matter who was ravaged at the beginning, he also had resentment in his heart, and after venting, he comforted Chamberlain and said: "To be honest, Shaq is really old, at the beginning, he pushed me like a bulldozer, it's terrifying!" Now that I'm able to eat in front of him, I bet it only takes five minutes for him to be pinned down by me! ”

Obviously, there is no shortage of knowledgeable fans in this stadium, and watching O'Neill fall into a bitter battle at the beginning, some fans united and shouted: "Shaq, stay fit!" Shaq, play the whole game! ”

O'Neal's emotions have become extremely fanatical, and when he heard the worried roars of the fans, and when he attacked again, James broke through from the left wing, and he crashed into Jackson and made a straight way to the basket.

Chamberlain made up for the first time, and his deterrent defense worked, and James was a little hesitant in the face of his defense, and no longer insisted on pushing to the basket.

At this moment, O'Neal, who was stuck in the restricted area by Evans, suddenly shouted, brutally pushed Evans, and killed the right wing of the hoop from the position near the bottom line of the basket.

James' eyes lit up and he waved the ball into the basket.

O'Neal stretched out his left hand like a flytrap and grabbed the ball in his hand, after which his fat body suddenly spun half a circle, from his back to the hoop to the hoop, and he shouted again, he jumped up like a spring, and stretched out the ball to the basket with his right hand.

Evans tried to jump up, swinging his arm to block, and O'Neal grabbed the ball with his right hand and drew a small half-circle above his head, and the left hand waiting on top of it slammed together and grabbed the ball in both hands with a click.

Then, I saw that his body suddenly straightened, and the whole body was incredibly upward by another point, and the huge body suppressed Evans in this way, and he almost rushed to the front of the hoop with such overwhelming momentum, and waved his arms violently, dunk!

"Boom!" With a loud bang, O'Neal grabbed the hoop with both hands and shook it, Evans was knocked down by inertia, and the basketball hoop began to shake, looking extremely powerful!

"Roar!" The fans screamed, and the excited Cavaliers fans almost rushed to the court.

"Shaq! Well done, I'm going to give you a baby! ”

"Crush his head! Hillbilly, get out of Cleveland! ”

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! ”

Finally, the howls of the fans converged: "Kill him!" Kill him! Kill him! ”

O'Neal was also extremely excited, he twisted ****** danced happily under the basket, twisted his waist and abdomen with his hands outstretched, and once again performed the classic overlord step.

Iverson on the bench couldn't help but smile when he saw this familiar scene, in the 2001 Finals, O'Neal crushed Mutombo, and the African mountain, which won the best defensive player that season, turned into a piece of gravel under his bombardment, leading to the complete collapse of the 76ers.

Time flies quickly, ten years on, he has gone from being a leader and absolute core to a substitute, and O'Neal seems to have the dominance he had ten years ago.

However, Iverson doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe that O'Neill really has the power to dominate ten years ago.

He's also an old guy, and he knows the energy in the body of the old players better than the fans.

In this game, the old Nelson arranged Iverson to be a substitute, it had to be like this, in the last game to eliminate the Lakers, Iverson dominated the second half, and it was also like the peak was coming again, in fact, it was at the cost of consuming a lot of his body to do this.

In Iverson's eyes, O'Neill is like a candle that burns to the end, and the light he emits is a return to the light.

Chamberlain looked at O'Neill coldly, and the latter patted his chest and yelled at him, "Rookie, first center?!" Uh-huh, this is the first center! You're so lucky to have been born in a good era, if it had been twenty years ago, you stupid guy wouldn't have even had a chance to enter the Alliance! ”

Chamberlain didn't speak, he pulled Evans up, served to Billups and ran down silently.

Billups dribbled to the high post, Chamberlain went up to help him block the pick-and-roll, and after the two cut back, Billups shook off Gibson's entanglement and went inside.

The real backhand of this tactic is Chamberlain, James has a high ball quotient, he understands this, so he made a change of defense with Jamison, and he personally went up to Chamberlain.

Billups subconsciously hit the ground and returned the ball, James was quick-eyed, stole the ball in his hand for the first time, and led the team to counterattack quickly.

Chamberlain was taken aback and could only defend back, and the Quickloan Arena once again rang out with a frantic shout: "LBJ, MVP!" ”

Listening to the cheers and praises of the fans, James was full of spirits and rode through the middle to smash the Yellow Dragon.

Striding into the penalty area, James got up and dunked violently, and a huge force was transmitted from behind him to his whole body, and then the sound of fans gasping gathered together, as if a huge air extractor appeared in the stadium.

James raised the ball above his head with both hands, pressed a big slap on the ball, pulled his arm back, and forcibly stifled the dunk that was about to be shot!

The little emperor was torn apart by this force, he staggered to the ground, and turned around to see Chamberlain's domineering figure appear behind him!

The Cavaliers' fans are as pale as earth, they have seen with their own eyes how this ball was hated off, James's impact is not fierce, the speed is not fast, and the strength is not strong, but under the pursuit of Chamberlain, this qiē has turned into nothingness!

Chamberlain chased James from behind, and he caught up with him.

O'Neill hasn't crossed the midfield line at this time, they are all center forwards, why is the speed gap so big?

But today the Cavaliers did play with a feeling, as Barkley commented, this team is good at playing downwind, as long as the opening game is good, then the players play more and more fiercely.

After Chamberlain blocked, a thin figure was like a ghost, and then followed, picked up the ball that had landed on the block, and made a light layup to send the ball into the hoop.

After the diminutive and lanky Gibson made a layup, he glanced up at Chamberlain, then lowered his head and ran to the backcourt.

Cavaliers fans screamed excitedly again: "Cavaliers, championship!" ”

14-6, the opening four minutes, the Warriors scored only six points, and the opponent only needed one more goal to fall behind by double digits, which was a scene that had never been seen in the playoffs.

Old Nelson called a timeout, he looked at the somewhat panting O'Neal with blazing eyes, and when Evans was off the field, he said: "Good, you did a good job, the big shark can't swim anymore." Well, let's move on to the second phase of tactical ......"

"Super Counterattack?" West's spirits were shaken, and his face was full of anticipation.

Old Nelson shook his head and said coldly: "No, now is still not the time to fight back!" The big shark just can't swim, he's not dead yet, what we have to do is to use the shark trap fork to kill him completely! ”

"For the rest of the first quarter, as long as O'Neal had the ball and wanted to play alone, then Evans fouled him and sent him to the free throw line! Now that he has no body, we have to not only make him physically tired, but also mentally mad and exhausted, so that he is truly no threat! ”

After Nelson Sr. arranged the defense against O'Neal, he arranged a couple of offensive rotation tactics, and Billups was replaced, who had not worked in his previous organization, and replaced Iverson with speed and experience to impact the opponent.

Billups sat back on the bench a little sullenly, and Hill quietly pulled him and asked, "Chauncey, what's going on?" ”

He saw that Billups was not in shape, not only in this game, but also in the last two games with the Lakers, his appearance was also lackluster, especially in the last game, he fell into the disadvantage in the face of Fisher, if it weren't for Iverson rushing crazy on the outside, the outside line of the Warriors would probably collapse before that.

Billups smiled and replied to Hill, "Nothing, man, just a little out of shape." ”

After Iverson came on the court, he looked at O'Neal with a sweaty face and smiled: "Hey, big shark, we met again in the finals!" ”

O'Neill bared his teeth and roared, "Answer, as long as I'm here, you can't win the championship!" ”

Iverson shrugged, pointed at Chamberlain and said, "Go and tell him, he is a family member, it's useless for you to tell me, besides, you can't stop me." ”

When the words fell, Iverson was like a ferocious man who came out of the Nine Hells, his body writhed suddenly, and he changed direction three times in a row, and Gibson was a little dazzled, and he took a step to kill directly to the inside, and went straight to O'Neal.

The big shark had a hideous sneer on his face, and he defended with his arms raised, and at the same time, Chamberlain flexibly entered the penalty area and landed directly in position.

Iverson passed the ball to Chamberlain, O'Neal's face changed dramatically, and he turned around to block Chamberlain, but his speed was too slow, so he ran a step back, and Chamberlain had already turned over to the basket and sent the ball into the hoop with a wrist pick.

Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.

Chamberlain's layup was effortless and elegant, with a lightness of its own.

But O'Neill couldn't look past it and sneered: "First center? Haha, that's how the first center scores? ”

Chamberlain didn't fight back, just smiled, and O'Neill was very proud of the hot scene at the beginning, he felt that he had defeated Chamberlain, this kid was already afraid of him like the soft eggs who used to make a lot of nonsense about him and then be picked up by him.

Stimulated by this excitement, O'Neal became confident, shook his spirits under the basket, and stuck Evans to reach for the ball again.

The Cavaliers' idea of building this year is actually very correct, they bought O'Neal, a big guy in the restricted area, to go toe-to-toe with Chamberlain, and also exchanged Jamison.

Last season, Jamison was one of the best interior players in front of Chamberlain, he was flexible and cunning, he could shoot well, and he could shoot as far as the three-point line, which could contain Chamberlain very well, so that he could not go to the restricted area to contain O'Neal or help defense.

This is also the reason why O'Neal frequently wreaked havoc on the basket from the beginning.

This time, Jamison once again took Oxlade-Chamberlain out of the box, allowing O'Neal to face Evans on his own.
