On April 19, 2008, the playoffs officially began.

On the first playoff day, the Grizzlies played the Suns.

Before the game started, Rose also greeted Li Lei, and he would come to watch the game tonight and cheer for Li Lei.

The two began in the summer and gradually became acquainted.

Li Lei often goes to the University of Memphis to watch Rose's games, and Rose will also come to the FedEx Center to support Li Lei.

During the warm-up time, Li Lei really saw Rose in the front row, wearing a grizzly cap, slightly shy.

Players from both sides walked to the logo area and greeted each other.

The Suns' O'Neal, Dio and Li Lei have a good relationship.

Subsequently, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.

Suns:

O'Neill, Stoudemire, Dior, Raga? Bell, Nash.

Grizzlies:

Milicic, Gasol, Li Lei, Hill, Lowry.

Didi!

As the whistle blew, the game officially began.

"Little Overlord" Stoudemire was even better, dialing the ball to the Suns half.

Nash fast-moving.

However, observing that the Grizzlies quickly stepped back into place and left no holes, Nash slowed down the tempo and waited for his teammates to get into position.

Nash gave the ball to Dio, who hoisted the ball to O'Neal on the inside.

O'Neill held Milicic and chiseled twice.

Milicic couldn't bear it at all, and he was defeated.

O'Neill seized the opportunity and turned around and dunked.

Bang!

2：0。

"O my God! The big shark is out of the cage. ”

The on-site commentator exploded instantly, holding the microphone and roaring.

"With this action, who can tell that O'Neill is 36 years old?"

The commentators were amazed.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

O'Neill himself was also extremely excited, clenching his arms and showing off his terrifying biceps.

He also grimaced at the fans and the cameras on the sidelines.

He is worthy of being the miracle doctor of the Suns!

Li Lei sighed in his heart.

still remembers that in the years of the Heat, O'Neal was riddled with injuries, stopping and stopping, and constantly suffering major and minor injuries...... Bill? Wharton even suspected O'Neal of not wanting to play.

Many people think that O'Neal has an amazing weight, and he has reached the end of his career when he gets older.

But no one thought of it...... This season, after coming to the Phoenix Suns, O'Neal had a second spring, with a particularly good physical condition and a particularly high attendance rate, playing a full 75 games throughout the season.

You know, the last time O'Neal played 75 times in a season was in the '99-00 season, eight years ago.

O'Neal has only done this in five seasons in his entire career.

And O'Neal's stats are not bad, still averaging 17.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks per game, and the shooting rate is a terrifying 60.9%.

Therefore, there are rumors in the market:

Helios Medic.

And the counterpart is the Pioneer Vet Team!

In the process of returning to defense, O'Neill also specially found Li Lei and said in broken Chinese: "Jiang, it's still old and spicy!" ”

Looking at O'Neill's proud appearance, Li Lei was speechless.

Grizzlies offense.

Lowry was roaming around the perimeter, suddenly spotted an opportunity, picked up his speed, squeezed past Nash with his strong upper body, and rushed into the restricted area for a layup.

Syllable!

Unfortunately, at the last moment, Dio chased the defense in place and slapped Lowry's shot to the rebound.

"Brother Dick" is out of the horse, terrifying.

Because the Chinese pinyin "diao" of the two words Dior is connected to the same as Dio, many Chinese fans regard Dior as Dior.

Of course, it's also because Dior's ability is really strong.

Li Lei knows this best.

I still remember the 03 draft, Dior was the first player of the same class that Li Lei came into contact with, and it was Li Lei and Dior who created the "anti-NCAA united front" together.

Dior's ability, Li Lei knows best.

Before the draft, Dior's team gave him a boost and called him a "French magician".

Although it is an exaggeration, it is not without reason.

Christian Dior is really versatile, he is a panacea on the court, he can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, organizing, breaking, shooting, strategizing, and playing singles in the low post...... He can do anything.

But what impressed Li Lei the most was Dior's bouncing power.

When he first came to the NBA, Li Lei would ask a group of friends to train with him every summer, and Dior was naturally invited.

I still remember when everyone was sweating profusely, Dior walked out with coffee and gracefully.

There were several people competing to see who could bounce higher vertically.

Milicic, Li Lei, Yi Jianlian, Alstom, White Chocolate, Haslem, and Wade all tried it one by one.

At this time, Dior pinched the ear of the coffee cup with two fingers, tasted it leisurely, then lazily put down the cup, and then jumped gently.

Wade took a look and walked away.

Haslem silently walked to the sidelines, not saying a word.

Alstom said he was hurt in his heart.

Li Lei decided on the spot that when he played these things in the future, he would never be with Dior again.

……

Really, a slight jump from Audi is a height that no one else can ever reach.

After the block, the Suns took advantage of the situation to launch a fast break.

Nash found Stoudemire in the midst of the chaos and made a clever pass to help Stoudemire complete an aerial relay dunk.

Bang!

4：0。

The first goal of today's five best balls, "Little Overlord" Stoudemire split Huashan!

There was a stirring at the scene, and the Memphis fans at the FedEx Center were slightly uneasy.

The Suns came up with two exciting dunks, and the momentum was extraordinary!

At this time, Li Lei took the ball and signaled everyone to calm down and don't worry.

Suns head coach Mike? D'Antoni looked diagonally across from Rick? Carlisle.

Coach Carlisle was very quiet, with his hands on his chest, watching the game calmly.

And Jeff next to Carlisle? Van Gundy was also extraordinarily quiet, with the middle of the Mediterranean glowing.

Seeing this, Mike? D'Antoni couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.

Grizzlies offense.

Milicic rushed to the basket and tried to get a position.

O'Neill directly occupies the land and does not give Milicic a chance at all.

The 36-year-old O'Neal is still a big monster under the basket, and Milicic has nothing to do.

But at this moment, Milicic popped straight out, and it was fast.

The ruler is long, and the inch is short.

Milicic is not as powerful and tonnage as O'Neill, but he is much faster than the 36-year-old O'Neill.

Li Lei quickly divided the ball.

Milicic received the ball from outside the three-point line and calmly shot.

Swish!

4：3。

The game continues.

O'Neill continued to show the bravery of the big shark, digging Milicic hard and turning and throwing.

Swish!

6：3。

"He deserves to be the most dominant center in the NBA!"

"O'Neal is really strong, and the attacking ability of the 36-year-old is still unsolved."

"As long as he has enough stamina, O'Neal can still score, even 50 points......"

The crowd was amazed by O'Neill.

Grizzlies offense.

Milicic continued to lift beyond the three-point line.

O'Neill hesitated, but did not pounce.

If it was 5 years ago, O'Neill would have done this kind of thing easily, but now he really can't do it.

But the rest of the Suns are prepared.

Bale pounced on the defense.

Unfortunately, the height gap between him and Milicic was too large, and Milicic shot directly over Bale's head.

Swish!

And also.

6：6。

Milicic made two three-pointers in a row to help the Grizzlies bite the score.

Suns offense.

Nash saw that O'Neal was in excellent shape and continued to play the ball for O'Neal.

O'Neal hit the rim head-on, pushed away Misilic, and scored two more points.

8：6。

In the Suns' first eight points, O'Neal scored six points alone.

3-of-3 shooting in the opening game.

Such O'Neal, is it really 36-year-old O'Neal?

Lao Ji is in the pang, and his ambition is thousands of miles!

The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong!

The old shark is still majestic.

And when it came to the defensive round, when Milicic brought it up again, O'Neill pounced and followed Milicic.

With O'Neill's interference, Milicic's third shot finally popped off the frame.

Bang dang!

Stoudemire picked up the rebound in the backcourt, and the Suns took the opportunity to fight back again.

10：6！

The Suns once again led by four points and had the upper hand in a rainbow.

Countless fans sighed.

"Fire Shark, no! It's the Laker shark, the pinnacle of the big shark, and we're seeing it again. ”

"O'Neill dreams of a second spring!"

"Who says big sharks are old? Even now, O'Neill can educate Yao Ming and Howard. ”

"Veterans don't die, they just fade away. Those fans who say that O'Neal is old when they see the decline in their regular season stats, don't they know O'Neal's habitual regular season paddling and playoff efforts? ”

"Tonight, O'Neill reigned again on the pitch!"

……

Not to mention the fans, even Li Lei admires O'Neal's performance.

The first is the age of 36, many players have retired at this age, and there are not many superstars who can play until they are 36 years old.

Then there's the huge weight, O'Neal has a huge body, an amazing weight, and the consumption is naturally far beyond the average player.

Then came the injury-riddled career, and over the years of his career, O'Neal has suffered countless major and minor injuries, especially in the last two years of the Heat, and the injuries have almost never stopped.

……

In such a situation, O'Neal can play such an amazing performance, which is indeed amazing.

Merely......

Li Lei controlled the ball and observed O'Neill up close, and he could feel O'Neal gasping violently.

When he was a teammate on the Heat team, Li Lei had a very good relationship with O'Neal and was very familiar with O'Neal.

At that time, just a few balls would not make O'Neal gasp like this.

So, O'Neill is still old after all.

Although he can still dominate the basketball court, the Lakers may have played 35 minutes, the Heat had 25 minutes, and now 15 minutes is barely enough.

In particular, O'Neal made consecutive singles at the beginning of the game and followed out to defend Milicic, which was very physically demanding.

"Excuse me, old fellow!"

Li Lei said in his heart.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, Li Lei gestured to Milicic to come out to block the demolition.

O'Neill actually followed.

He really wanted to win.

But when Milicic covered Li Lei, O'Neill couldn't keep up with Li Lei at all.

Li Lei moved two steps to the flank, and he could completely get rid of O'Neal and shoot when he pulled up.

Swish!

10：8。

Suns offense.

O'Neill continued to attack.

This time, though, his shot went off the frame.

"Obviously, O'Neal's control of the power of the shot this time is a bit poor."

Zhang Weiping explained.

Gasol took the rebound.

Grizzlies offense.

Li Lei continued to play blocking and dismantling with Milicic, forcing O'Neal to switch to Li Lei.

But where could O'Neill keep up with Li Lei, he was instantly got rid of Li Lei.

Li Lei pulled it up and threw it.

Swish!

。

Li Lei has scored 4 points in a row to help the Grizzlies tie the score.

Suns offense.

Nash also sensed that O'Neal was a bit of a drain in the opening game, so he let Smalls attack from the other side.

Xiao Si has a strong scoring ability in the fast attack, but he is still a little worse in positional battles.

Bang dang!

The goal didn't go in.

The Grizzlies picked up the rebound and continued to attack.

Li Lei continued to play with Milicic.

Don't look at Li Lei and Milicic with one move, one trick is fresh, and they eat all over the world!

Staring at the opponent's weaknesses and showing no mercy.

I think back then, Li Lei and O'Neill's "Leo blocking and dismantling" was played like this.

This time, though, the Suns have adjusted.

Raga? Bell knew that O'Neill couldn't keep up with Li Lei, and at the moment Milicic blocked and dismantled, he gave up Milicic and went straight to Li Lei.

Bale and O'Neill defend Li Lei together.

How so?

Bale is still very smart, he is a good defensive player, he has a deep defensive skill, a fierce face and a resolute attitude......

It was a good choice for once

However, he underestimated Li Lei.

Li Lei pulled away from the flank, and when he attracted Bale and O'Neill, he suddenly passed the ball to Milicic.

Milicic pulled up and thrown.

Swish!

。

It was Milicic's third pitch of the night, and he had a game-high eight points.

"Roar, Roar, Roar, ......Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

The atmosphere in the FedEx Center arena was enthusiastic, and the fans at the scene had exploded.

"Darko, well done, shoot through the Suns, that's it."

"Rice shoots the sun!"

"Send the Phoenix people home for fishing!"

"I've heard of Tengu Eclipse Sun, now I'm going to show you a grizzly bear shooting sun......"

……

In the CCTV studio, Zhang Weiping's guidance was also emotional.

"The relationship between Stone and O'Neill is not ordinarily good, and the two have been in contact since they separated, and they have been in constant contact.

But this time, the stone really stared at O'Neill, beating him as a weakness.

I think it's a little cruel! ”

Su Qun also nodded: "But this is competitive sports, what do you say about friendship first, competition second, but who will give up victory?" It can only be said that O'Neill is old...... If it was O'Neal during the Lakers, or even the Magic, it would not be so easy to target. ”

Zhang Weiping: "In fact, when he was on the Heat, O'Neal was often targeted by opponents. However, at that time, the Heat coaching staff thought of a way to help O'Neal solve the problem through the active defense and assistance defense of Stone and Haslem.

Mike? Coach D'Antoni can actually learn from this method, which is also a better way for the Suns to break the game. ”

Didi!

Sure enough, the Suns called a timeout.

Since the beginning of the game, all of the Grizzlies' 12-point scoring has been scored by exploiting O'Neal's weaknesses.

Even fools can see that D'Antoni naturally has no problem.

Whether he wants it or not, he has to make adjustments.
