Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 19 What is O'Neal
Another sunny morning.Except for storms and tsunamis, this is the only weather in this area.Even if it's Christmas today, it can't stop the fiery sun.

Today the Lakers came to a community in Miami to distribute turkeys. It is a tradition of the Lakers to distribute the most delicious turkeys to a lucky community today.

In fact, most of them have a tradition of giving turkeys locally, but this year the Lakers are unlucky, losing several big stars, and the Christmas game can only be played away, so they have to give turkeys to other fans.This has never happened before.

However, the fans in Miami did not want turkeys because they were Lakers players, which made the Lakers officials who were worried that no one wanted them and did not prepare much kept busy.

After finishing the work, Kwame and Chris went to the supermarket together to buy a lot of presents and so on. After all, the chance is probably only once a year.

The Lakers players also went to buy gifts for their families. Today's game is relatively early, starting at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and they can return home before [-]:[-] in Los Angeles time.Of course, it is necessary to prepare a good Christmas gift.

Kwame also bought gifts for his teammates, all of whom were sunglasses.

Everyone also bought gifts for Kwame in return, some small gifts just bought, some specialties in the sea.

Another morning passed, and the game was about to start.

The Miami Heat's ball market has always been tepid. Even today's Christmas game between the Lakers and the Heat was not full. In the United States, this is a very rare thing.

But this is Miami, the basketball atmosphere is not strong, and there are countless teams from major leagues here, so the situation is understandable.

Looking at the sparse fans here, Kwame thought he had come to the home court of the Portland Trail Blazers. The last time he played there was the same feeling, but he was still more "enthusiastic" than the Lakers fans. Seeing Kobe was booed, because O'Neal was their favorite.

Before the game started, players from both sides greeted people they knew. Kwame greeted O’Neal friendly, but O’Neal, who had a fierce face and gritted his teeth, snorted, scratched his big bald head, and went back to get ready. Let's play the national anthem.

The two sides started, the Lakers: Kobe, Parker, Walton, Humphries, Kwame.

Heat: Payton, Wade, O'Neal, Haslem, Jones.

Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Kwame looked at Ao Pang who had fierce eyes on the opposite side, Kwame rolled his eyes, what about it?Why don't you just expose your shortcoming, so you don't want people to tell the truth?

The referee threw the ball into the sky, Kwame jumped quickly and hooked the ball to his side. He didn't pay much attention to Ao Pang, because he felt that with his own jumping and his old love for table tennis, he could get it easily. ball.

When Kwame's big hand hooked his hand and was about to slap the ball to his side, a strong force came, and a bigger hand slapped the ball directly to the other side.Kwame staggered after landing, and looked at the opponent in surprise. Didn't he lose all the jump balls in the previous few games?
O'Neill proudly ran to the frontcourt with his bully step.

The first is the offense of the Heat. The former Lakers player, Kobe Bryant used to play him as a substitute for All-Star Eddie Jones to control the ball. Today he played as a small forward. Facing Luke Walton's defense, Jones relaxed without pressure. The jump shot was successful.

Parker took possession of the ball and passed it to Kobe at the top arc. He missed a layup and O'Neal beat Kwame to get a defensive rebound.

O'Neill turned his head and grinned. Kwame found that he couldn't squeeze the opponent at all just now, so he went back to prepare to defend without saying anything.

O'Neal squeezed Kwame into the three-second zone under the basket. Kwame found a serious problem. His weight was really much lighter than before training. Although he worked hard to gain weight, the fat content The drop made my little gain really insignificant.

In the previous games, I didn't notice this at all, and I almost relied on fierce scrambling and blocking shots to defend, but today I met O'Neal, and I don't know where the defense I was once proud of went!
O'Neill received a pass from Payton, his fat ass hit Kwame, and slammed into it violently. Kwame felt a force that looked like a tank directly pressing on him. Kwame resisted desperately, but found that his strength was simply support. No such huge pressure.

O'Neal hit again, knocked Kwame directly under the basket, and smashed the ball directly to the basket. "Bang" the basket groaned in pain.Kwame was directly buckled to the ground! !

"Shaq!! O'Neill!!..." Led by the DJ, the fans cheered frantically and shouted O'Neill's name.

Everyone who came to the stadium came to see O'Neal. Seeing O'Neal's unstoppable performance, all the fans cheered like an explosion.

Kwame, who was pulled up by Wharton, looked at O'Neal who was taking the overlord step, and was really shocked. Maybe his weight dropped a lot, but did his defense really drop so much?

Kwame also played against O'Neal in the past few seasons, but at that time he didn't feel such a lot of pressure at all. At that time, O'Neal was rarely directly pressed to the inside for a dunk.

In fact, when the Wizards and the Lakers played against each other in the past, the fighting spirit of the two sides was completely different. On the Lakers side, only Kobe would go all out to fight, because the opponent was Jordan!

The Wizards will also fight with all their strength, because the opponent is the Lakers! !If you want exposure, you must play well in this game!But the Lakers didn't take this game seriously at all, especially O'Neal.

So in the previous game, O'Neal didn't take Kwame seriously at all, and he didn't want to fight Kwame with his heart at all, which is why he gave Kwame so much confidence.

Now O'Neal not only fights with all his strength, but also has a high fighting spirit because of his verbal battle with Kwame. With all his strength, Kwame is of course completely unstoppable.

Bryant is still executing a pure shooting guard mode, waiting for an opportunity in the bottom corner.Kwame asked for the ball on the other side and was about to hit one back. He has been unbeatable on the offensive end in so many games, and he is quite confident in himself.

Kwame caught the ball and squeezed in. When he found that he couldn't stand it, he dribbled the ball and turned around sharply. O'Pang was stunned. Kwame passed O'Pang, and the basket was in front of him! !He jumped straight up, swung his arms round, and smashed the ball into the basket! !
Just when Kwame was already thinking about what kind of cool posture to use to celebrate this goal, he saw Humphries' frightened expression in front of him.

Suddenly, I felt a huge force coming from the ball in the upper hand. This force was so strong that I couldn't stop this force at all, and the ball was blown away.

Kwame was also knocked directly to the ground and slipped out of the bottom line! !

I got up a little weakly, how could this be!Is this O'Neill?Thinking of the time when I played against O'Neal before, I didn't feel so painful.

Coincidence! !It must be an accident! !The self-confidence built up after coming to the Lakers began to show cracks. In these dozens of games, Kwame was an unstoppable inside machine, which allowed him to slowly build up a strong self-confidence, but it will be broken now up.

In the next round of defense, Kwame was once again abused by O'Neal, and he dunked easily on the head, just so weak.Kwame was unstoppable with O'Neal's simple move, hitting Kwame to the basket again and again to score directly.

When he was attacking, his proud footsteps and body flexibility were like a joke in front of O'Neal. O'Neal used his actions that did not match his body to hit Kwame's self-esteem time and time again.

He swears, this is the scariest thing he has ever seen in his life, he has never encountered such a powerful opponent!No, O'Neill has never encountered this state.

Thinking of how confident I was when I told Chris that I was going to blow up the opponent before the game, how ridiculous! !

Kwame is afraid to look at Chris and the coaches now. At the end of the first quarter, Kwame only contributed 6 irons, 1 rebound and 1 foul.The team also trailed the Heat by 15 points.

Kwame was very unwilling. He had worked so hard and studied many of his opponent's games, but his opponent and the video were not alone at all!

In O'Neal's usual games, although he is still very strong, he still hasn't reached the point where he is today. Even last year's Finals against Wallace, he was not as strong as he is today.

Could it be that this is his full strength?This is the real O'Neill?Is it the O'Neal who was eager for championships when Kobe just came to Los Angeles?
This is really powerful!It was so strong that I was a little scared.

Seeing Kwame's body tense, Rudy was very worried about his situation, so he went up to ask, Kwame signaled that he was fine, and seeing Kwame's state, Rudy didn't say much, so he arranged The tactical change in the second quarter was to break through the inside and create open opportunities for Kwame.

In the second quarter, Kwame stayed on the court, but O'Neal did not. His physical strength was a burden. After all, he was almost 34, and he had to rest for a quarter. He was not in a hurry, and the game was still long.
