NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 126 Furious Shaq

When O’Neal held the ball in the low post, the purple and gold crowd of Staples Center swayed.

Cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.

This scene is the reason why many Lakers fans insisted on coming to the scene.

Whether it was Shaquille O’Neal’s low post suppression or Kobe’s back-to-the-basket singles, it was a pleasing scene for Lakers fans.

And these two Lakers All-Stars can often present a wonderful visual feast to fans at this moment.

Especially the rookie on defense, who just blocked O’Neal on the defensive end, which made Lakers fans eager to see the big shark crush this guy who was praised by the East.

Lakers players’ bench.

The Zen Master adjusted his glasses. He was not as excited as the fans.

But he was more or less looking forward to the scene that was about to happen on the court, but he didn’t want Shaq to cause him trouble.

For example, he didn’t want to hurt the Chinese rookie on the opposite side!

That guy is now highly praised by Stern as an important hub for opening up the Chinese market.

Thinking of this, the Zen Master couldn’t help but remind: “Shaq, be steady!”

On the other side.

D’Antoni and Herb Sendek looked at the court with some worry.

Facing the behemoth that the Lakers were eyeing, even the two experienced coaches couldn’t keep calm.

Especially Herb Sendek!

When he was coaching in the NCAA, he had never seen a player with such a body size and such athletic performance.

As for Shaquille O’Neal, he had only heard of him but had never seen him.

Now, when they compared on the spot, Wang Song looked a little thin in front of him.

“Coach D’Antoni, I think we should focus on protecting the players in this game!”

Herb Sendek put forward his idea, feeling a little nervous.

But he didn’t expect that this idea was recognized by D’Antoni next to him.

As a newcomer to the Knicks, Wang Song has a higher priority in the team than any other player. This is not just Herb Sendek’s idea, but the consensus of the entire Knicks team.

“Let’s end this round first! To be honest, the Knicks have no better opponent than Wang Song.”

Not only the Knicks coaching staff was a little worried, but Knicks fans sitting at home in New York and Chinese fans in China also expressed their opinions on sports websites.

——【It’s hard to bear, brothers, that’s the Great Shark! The angry Great Shark! 】

——【The difference in tonnage between the two is really big. In college, Wang Song could use his height advantage to narrow the tonnage gap, but now the opponent in front of him is a perfect center with both height and strength. 】

——【Alas, there is no way to resist, but I have to resist. Not to mention the Knicks, there are few people in the entire NBA who can compete with that guy. Just take it as accumulating experience! 】

···

Most fans have the same opinion, but even they themselves don’t realize that Wang Song, who is now facing O’Neal on the court, is just a rookie.

Actually standing on the court to compete with this so-called No. 1 center in the league, Wang Song has no psychological burden.

There is even some expectation!

On the court, the big shark saw Wang Song with a calm face and couldn’t help but sneer: “Rookie, are you so nervous that you want to pee your pants?”

Trash talk to put pressure on the opponent is one of O’Neal’s playing styles.

However, after saying this, the Knicks rookie on the opposite side still didn’t react.

This made him a little angry, like a punch on cotton without any reaction.

“Do you think I will let you go if you shut up? On the contrary, I will dunk over your head and ride on you.”

After saying this, O’Neal started to slam his shoulders.

Bang!

Bang!

The dull sound of collision made many fans look forward to the confrontation between the two.

As O’Neal’s back position got deeper, the shouting of the purple and gold fans became louder.

With the shrill shouting of the fans, O’Neal became more and more excited, and he sank directly to the basket with three or two strong efforts.

According to his usual playing style, this ball should have directly knocked the defender back or even knocked him away.

But the “thin bamboo pole” in front of him still stood in front of him with his hands raised high.

The 3-second limit of the restricted area attack did not give O’Neal too much time to think, and he dunked as usual.

This is the exclusive big

The shark’s way of finishing!

No matter who is in front of him, as long as he gets to the basket, the ball can be considered as a basket.

But in this round, the yellow long arm is always in front of O’Neal.

The two took off at the same time, and O’Neal wanted to use his tyrannical force to directly slam the ball into the basket.

But he paid the price for underestimating the Knicks rookie, Wang Song has a bounce speed that is no less than O’Neal.

Although the opponent’s body is huge, everything is in vain in the face of absolute height.

The ball in his hand came with a huge force from the direction of the basket, affecting O’Neal who was taking off, but the great shark’s tyrannical power was exerted at this moment.

He dragged this force directly to the basket!

This unstoppable momentum made the fans at the scene stand up, and the scene became quiet until the moment the ball flew out of the basket.

“He sank directly to the basket, and the terrifying Shark showed his strength under the basket!”

“But Wang Song was not to be outdone, and he jumped up and pressed his hand on the basketball, and the two started a competition in the air…”

“Wowwwwww!!! Under Wang Song’s interference, the Shark missed the dunk!”

The screams in the CCTV studio soared into the sky, forming a strong contrast with the dead silence on the scene.

And in the text live broadcast room of Xinhu Sports, barrages of comments poured out like a tide.

——【Awesome! Wang Song unlocked the achievement, defending Shaquille O’Neal alone! 】

——【The legend will eventually end, Shaq still lost in this round of competition. The Shark showed all the strength, speed, and back-to-the-basket skills, while Song Shen only needed to show a wave of rim protection ability to reflect his rising star. 】

——【This is the reason why the Knicks won 21 consecutive games, brothers, it’s really wet! 】

——【What more could a center like this ask for in the impregnable Knicks restricted area? 】

···

On the court.

Kobe stood there motionless, letting the Knicks players pass by him.

He had never seen this scene before!

Shaq had obviously had the upper hand in the previous matchup, but he missed the shot at the end.

Kobe knew that this block would be a devastating blow to O’Neal’s self-esteem.

“Fuck! There’s no defensive foul?”

“His hand hit mine directly, damn it, Ford, can’t you see it?”

O’Neal’s roar resounded through the sky and echoed in the silent Staples.
