The New York Knicks' two new interior players are Mutombo and Kurt Thomas.

Although the combination of these two people is taken out alone, it cannot be compared with Da Yao.

But the strength of the two of them together is a little stronger than that of Da Yao and David Lee combined.

The New York Knicks attack.

After Allen Iverson dribbled to the frontcourt, he didn't continue to pass the basketball to his teammates on the inside.

Instead, he chose to take the initiative to attack.

The reason why Shaq O'Neal was seen as a bug back then was not just because of his offensive prowess.

Defensively, Shaq O'Neal is also very tough.

And neither Mutombo nor Kurt Thomas are attack-oriented players.

So Aaron Iverson certainly won't let the two of them take charge of the offense.

This is also one of Han Ning's purposes for keeping him on the court.

In the face of Dwyane Wade's defense, Allen Iverson did not hesitate, using his speed and dribbling to successfully complete the breakthrough.

When he rushed to the free throw line, he stopped and threw a hand.

"Huh!"

Two points were scored to give the New York Knicks a two-point lead.

Subsequently, the Miami Heat attacked.

After Dwyane Wade dribbled to the front court, he didn't need Shaq O'Neal to reach for the ball, he passed the basketball in his hand directly.

In Dayao's absence, Shaq O'Neal's dominance on the inside is unquestionable.

Although Mutombo is also strong.

But he is old after all!

And Dwyane Wade now has to face Allen Iverson's defense.

Regardless, passing the basketball to Shaq O'Neal to go on offense is the best option.

One big difference between Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant is that one will compete with Shaq O'Neal for the position of team leader.

One won't.

In Dwyane Wade's view, only if he works together with Shaq O'Neal will he have a chance to compete for a championship.

Wasn't it because of the cooperation between Shaq O'Neal and Kobe Bryant that the Los Angeles Lakers were able to create a dynasty back then?!

So, before winning the championship, Dwyane Wade won't have any other ideas.

Even, before winning the championship and creating a dynasty, Kobe Bryant, like Dwyane Wade now, did not think about competing for the position of the team leader.

Therefore, at such a time, Dwyane Wade will definitely not think about fighting for the ball or deliberately showing himself.

When Shaq O'Neal has a better chance, he's sure to pass the basketball in his hand.

In Han Ning's opinion, if it weren't for Shaq O'Neill's old age, the peak period would have gradually passed.

If you start out, it's Dwyane Wade and Shaq O'Neal as a partner, plus a more capable teammate.

It's not out of the question that the Miami Heat want to create a new dynasty.

Shaq O'Neal still chose to play with his back after receiving the basketball.

After all, Mutombo is already old.

Much older than Shaq O'Neal!

Back play is the best way to attack.

One, two.

Compared to Da Yao, Mutombo did seem to struggle a little more when defending against Shaq O'Neal.

Shaq O'Neal folded his hands on the ball and lowered his shoulders slightly after successfully pushing to the basket.

I want to finish the turn and attack the basket.

However, just as he was finishing his turn, Kurt Thomas rushed up and joined Mutombo in a wrap-and-loop defense against Shaq O'Neal.

The player who was supposed to be in charge of defending by Kurt Thomas was already out of the box at this point.

But Kurt Thomas was as if he didn't exist.

At Han Ning's request.

As long as Shaq O'Neal attacks with the ball on his own, Kurt Thomas can give up the players he should defend when it comes to defending in the bag.

Even if Shaq O'Neal passes the basketball in his hand and gives another Miami Heat interior player an open chance to make a layup, it can't make Shaq O'Neal score easily.

Anyway, as long as in the process of attacking, it is Shaq O'Neal who is attacking with the ball.

Then the one with the most physical exertion must be Shaq O'Neal.

One-on-one, Shaq O'Neill also has a good chance of scoring a goal.

It's better to try your best to drain Shaq O'Neal's physical strength first.

When Shaq O'Neal can't play, then the New York Knicks' chance will come.

Sure enough.

After Shaq O'Neill was caught between Mutombo and Kurt Thomas, it was a bit uncomfortable.

It's hard to find an opportunity to attack.

It was also a little difficult to pass the ball to a team-mate.

Still, Shaq O'Neal found an opportunity and threw the basketball high in the direction of his teammate.

Another Miami Heat interior player jumped high to pick up a pass from Shaq O'Neal, and then scored an easy layup with no guard.

The Miami Heat leveled the score once again.

It's just that Shaq O'Neill's physical strength has been consumed a lot.

The physical strength consumed by being surrounded by others and defending is far more than the physical strength consumed when you are holding the ball and attacking one-on-one!

The game went on minute by minute.

For the next few minutes, the Miami Heat's offense was very efficient!

Alternatively, Shaq O'Neal could find an opportunity to score in the middle of a pack between Kurt Thomas and Mutombo.

Or, he will try to find a way to pass the basketball in his hand to his teammates and let them complete the score.

But in any case, Shaq O'Neal's physical exertion is indeed very large.

The New York Knicks, on their side, mainly rely on outside players led by Allen Iverson to attack.

The offensive efficiency is much worse than that of the Miami Heat.

By the end of the first quarter, the score between the two teams had reached 26-21.

The Miami Heat have a five-point lead.

In the meantime, Shaq O'Neill only had less than two minutes off the pitch.

With his physical strength, he was already panting from the bench off the field at this time.

When the second quarter of the game began, Han Ning replaced Da Yao and David Lee on the court again.

Replace Allen Iverson for a break.

When the Miami Heat players and coaches saw Da Yao on the court at this time, their hearts sank.

Now Shaq O'Neal obviously needs time to rest.

At this time, Da Yao came on the field.

In the next game time, the New York Knicks will definitely use the advantage of the interior to catch up with the score!

Or even overtake the score!

But if Shaq O'Neal is replaced, will Shaq O'Neal still have the physical strength to play in the second half of the game?!

Can the Miami Heat still play?!

The wheel battle prepared by Han Ning has begun to show initial results.
