Chapter 35 Mental arithmetic and unintentional

O'Neal was angry, he was really angry, he never imagined that this game would be ridden by Duncan's kid, and it was still back-to-back, just before the game started, whether he was interviewed on TV or in the newspaper, when asked about Duncan, he said that he wanted to teach Duncan a lesson, but after this goal, if he didn't respond, how would the media report tomorrow? He's not a college rookie, he's learned a lot in the years he's been in the NBA, at least he knows how the media can attract attention. He would never allow such a thing to happen.

You must take revenge, you must get it back. O'Neill only had one thought in his mind right now.

"John, give me the ball" O'Neal took the initiative to go to the basket to find Duncan as soon as he passed halftime, and then asked Stockton for the ball after he got in a good position.

Stockton was very cooperative, and the pass was in place, and O'Neal was comfortable receiving the ball and ready to use his trick, pushing with his back and then hooking it up.

"It seems that Shaq is angry, this game is interesting" Stockton, a member of the Dream Team, watched the game very openly. He was a spectator on the pitch.

Just after O'Neal received the ball, something happened that surprised him.

Hey? O'Neal took a deep breath, he had tried and failed to push Duncan behind him? Just Duncan's body didn't push it away? O'Neill, who didn't believe in evil, continued to exert force, but it still had no effect, just slightly pushed half a step inside, and then increased the force again until the strength could not be added again, but it couldn't be easily advanced at all, and it was stalemate, and it was stalemate, what was going on? O'Neill was horrified.

"David, I'm not mistaken, Shaq can't stand up to that thin little body? What the hell is that guy all about? Olajuwon was surprised again on the sidelines, O'Neal's strength he knows best, last year he swept the Magic to win the championship, even if he met O'Neal, he could only outwit, unable to fight, the 1995 finals was to use O'Neal's young and inexperienced, he led a group of old ruffians to defeat O'Neal's raw melon eggs, he was the first time to meet a player who dared to fight hard with O'Neal, plus the last time the riding buckle, Olajuwon couldn't help but increase his interest in Duncan. However, he has not paid much attention to the NCAA lately, as his alma mater, the University of Houston, has not been doing well lately.

"Hakim, you don't have to ask me, I don't know much about him" The admiral wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, your sister, the old one has not retreated, the new one is here again, when will my championship have a hope, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, although he is also a top NBA star, but there is Michael Jordan on his head, in addition to Jordan and Olajuwon next to him, even compared to O'Neal on the court recently, there is a shortage, and now there is another bull, what will I do in the future. Will the three centers become the big four in the future? In the Admiral's heart, the NBA has never been known as a big four center, and the man in New York is one level worse than him and O'Neal, Olajuwon, but this Duncan has made him feel a sense of crisis.

"Tim, in this game, I hope you can fight hard with O'Neal when defending, that is, compare strength with him, you can't let him turn around easily or jump easily, push him hard, if he is strong hook, you will cover him" Duncan recalled Zhuang Fei's instructions before the game, and was a little worried about whether he could carry O'Neal, but I don't know what happened in today's game, he was surprisingly good, and he was really able to withstand O'Neal, which also gave him a lot of confidence.

So Duncan is getting more and more energetic now, and O'Neal is getting more and more impatient, and finally can't help but lean on Duncan when he doesn't reach the designated position and enough space, and then hook up.

Duncan's eyes lit up after seeing O'Neal preparing to force his shot, exactly the same as what Zhuang Fei said, Duncan was immediately ready to jump up and block.

Before the ball reached the top halfway, O'Neal watched the basketball be slapped by Duncan outside the three-point line.

"So high bounce, so fast bounce, so amazing arm span, and the defensive awareness is really powerful, I have predicted that Shaq is going to be strong" The head coach of the American team, Lenny Wilkens, was surprised, even if O'Neal's jump and turn was not enough, even if O'Neal's shot was a little reluctant, but not just anyone can cover it, if he thought it was an accident just now, but this time Duncan's defense is definitely a reflection of strength, and it is the first time he has encountered it to be able to suppress O'Neal so comprehensively on the defensive end. This gave him the intention to recruit Duncan into the Dream Team.

Just when these basketball professionals were in a daze for Duncan's defense, the fans at the scene let out another burst of exclamations.

The ball that was covered by Duncan just now flew to the middle of Carter and Hill, and the two touched the ball almost at the same time and fell down at the same time, but Carter was more flexible than Hill, got up earlier than him, picked up the ball and ran away, although it was a little slower than Carter, but Hill still did not give up, ready to dunk with one hand from behind, but Carter knew Hill's plan as if he had eyes in the back, and he didn't choose to go to the basket at all, not even a one-handed dunk, but jumped in the free throw line and directly dunked with both hands, the figure is extremely stretched, and the posture is extremely beautiful, even Hill, who is ready to wait for the opportunity behind him, can't help but praise secretly. It's beautiful.

"Vincent, I'm not mistaken, Wake Forest is actually suppressing the American team now" Charles Paul said in disbelief from the stands, and Vincent next to him was just as surprised and confused as him, not only him, but all the fans in the scene, whether it was Georgia Tech or Wake Forest, had the same expression.

"If we lose to a team like this, what reason do we have to blame others?" Some Georgia Tech fans are starting to think about it.

"Tim, if the team doesn't have a fast offensive opportunity, you have to strictly implement the tactics according to the routine of the triangle attack, I need you to mention more high positions when attacking, if no one cares about you, you attack by yourself, if someone comes to help defend, you should know how to do it, we still play triangle offense when attacking the position, and this game, I require that every attack ball must pass through Tim's hands when attacking the position, he is our offensive axis"

"Wally, this time you are facing a strong opponent, very strong defense, very strong offense, I don't have a special arrangement when defending, you have to be decisive when attacking, if Carter and Duncan attract players to help defend, you have to be decisive, if you don't shoot in the open space, I will replace you"

"Raga, you're like Wally on the offensive end, you have to be brave when you have the chance"

"I want you guys to show what we've been practicing all season."

The players of Wake Forest have all received hints from Zhuang Fei, and as the game progresses, these reminders from Zhuang Fei have become reality one by one.

"Good basketball IQ" has been staring at Duncan since the opening, and the more he watched, the more he liked it, especially when he saw that he did not blindly seek to go head-to-head with O'Neal when he was attacking the position, but took the initiative to organize for his teammates, Wallis Zebiak's shooting is also commendable, Ragabel's marking of Reggie Miller is also excellent, Carter's offense is also gorgeous, but the most dazzling thing on the court in his heart is Duncan.

"It seems that Shaq has completely lost his cool, and the iron fist on Duncan's cotton has no effect" The American team is behind, but Lenny Wilkens is not in a hurry to make substitutions, the American team has such domineering, they just need to rotate according to their own normal.

"Zhuang, are we really ahead now? And so far ahead? Towards the end of the first quarter, we actually led by 10 points? God, I'm not dreaming, am I? Mark Allen was ecstatic in disbelief, but Zhuang Fei beside him didn't put on a happy look, because there was still an extremely difficult thing waiting for him.

"Isaiah, do you still think there is no suspense in the game," Jordan in the stands gloated.

"Hmph" Isaiah snorted coldly and continued: "Mike, you're too happy, with your level, you shouldn't know where the biggest gap between the American team and Wake Forest is."

Although Jordan was a little disdainful of Isaiah Thomas's words, he also showed the same god as Zhuang Fei.
