NBA: This Center Is So Stable
Chapter 264
The Lakers attack.
The Great Shark doesn’t care about the flirting between the postman and Wang Song.
The provocation of the Asian boy made O’Neal extremely angry, and he decided not to indulge this guy anymore.
What Zen Master’s instructions, giving power to Peter Pan, and compromise for the championship… were all thrown out of O’Neal’s mind.
Now he just wants to crush his opponent head-on.
Even though Wang Song’s single defense ability can be said to be one of the few in the league that can hinder his offense, O’Neal can’t care so much in the face of absolute anger.
“On the offensive end, Shaq continues to hold the ball and play in the low post!”
“Kurt Thomas wanted to come over to defend but was waved away by Wang Song. The two sides are competing with each other.”
As the sound in the studio accelerated, the hot atmosphere on the scene was also set off by the fans.
Under the shouts of Knicks fans, a hot duel took place in Madison Square Garden.
Wang Song, who was on the defensive end, looked at O’Neal with contempt in his eyes.
The big shark, who was already on the decline, might still be the terrifying ruler of the penalty area for most people, but for Wang Song, O’Neal, who had lost his agility and put all his talents on strength, had lost his dominance in the past.
But from the perspective of the big shark, things were completely different!
Especially after scoring against Wang Song in the first attack, the big shark’s confidence in himself doubled.
In his opinion, this so-called scoring champion, first team, and best rookie Asian big man is just a show.
Bang!
Bang!
With continuous muffled groans, O’Neal has turned into an inside bulldozer and rushed to the basket.
With a 300-pound body and absolute strength advantage, not to mention Wang Song, most of the big men in the league are not his opponents.
Otherwise, according to the original timeline, when the Pistons played against the Lakers, there would not be a situation where the two-time DPOY was chased by O’Neal.
“Very rough advancement! This is Shaquille O’Neal, a completely unreasonable style of play. He has been playing like this for more than ten years and has rarely been defeated.”
“If I want to fight this shark, I think Wang Song should spend some time to gain muscle.”
“But being able to face O’Neal’s attack head-on is a great thing for Wang Song, who is still a rookie…”
Before the commentary of Coach Zhang fell, the scene suddenly changed.
O’Neal, who came to the penalty area, could have ended this round of attack with a small hook shot. As long as he jumped up and shot, Wang Song, who was retreating, would not have had time to return to defense.
But perhaps stimulated by the interaction between the “Postman” and Wang Song, O’Neal gritted his teeth and prepared to teach the Asian boy a lesson in this attack.
After pushing the defender away, O’Neal suddenly jumped up and wanted to wreak havoc on the basket.
But he seemed to ignore his age and tonnage, and ignored that he was no longer the flying shark who dominated the league in the past.
Whether it was the bounce speed or the bounce height, it was no longer the same as it was back then.
And the defender he faced had the league’s top defense speed and bounce height. For Wang Song, O’Neal’s rise to the air and preparation for a two-handed dunk was slow motion in his eyes.
In an instant, he pounced in front of O’Neal!
The stubborn shark would naturally not miss this dunk opportunity. Even in the face of Wang Song’s defense, he still ignored it. He had full confidence in himself. Even if he couldn’t complete the dunk, as long as the opponent pounced on him, he could at least make a foul.
What’s more, the possibility of the latter was almost zero in the eyes of the big shark.
How could a guy who weighed only 200 pounds stop his dunk?
Even All-Star heavyweight forwards like Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett had to be defeated by him.
Countless stars who had fallen at his feet flashed through his mind and could only watch him rise into the air. O’Neal, who was full of confidence, did not hesitate at all.
But the Asian boy on the opposite side not only had a fast defense speed, but also had a hand that was as precise as a scalpel when cutting the ball. His big hands directly pressed on the ball held by O’Neal’s hands accurately.
The arrogant O’Neal thought that it would be impossible for him to lose to the other side in a strength contest between two players of different weights.
But the huge force from the ball forced him to compromise!
From the initial dunk preparation to an aerial shot, the opponent’s hand seemed to be glued to the ball, with no intention of letting go.
The Shark, who did not want to be knocked to the ground, could only adjust his weight.
He barely pressed the ball to the edge of the basket, and adjusted the ball when it slipped out of his hand.
Just when he wanted to fight for the offensive rebound and attack again, the Asian rookie’s reaction speed was more than twice as fast as his.
After receiving the defensive rebound, Wang Song directly threw a fast break throughout the court. Any successful defense would be the key to the Lakers’ loss of points.
This is the Knicks’ run-and-gun game!
“Oh my God, O’Neal, a frontal block!”
“Wang Song blocked the frontal provocation of the Sharks. O’Neal, who almost dunked, lost his body center of gravity and almost fell to the ground. This will be one of the five most embarrassing shots of the Sharks in the playoffs.”
“It can only be said that greed will pay the price of greed. There is a chance to finish with a layup, but O’Neal chose the most dazzling and eye-catching… and also the most difficult move to be blocked.”
The hoarse roar came from the studio.
Just listening to the trembling voice of Coach Zhang, fans can imagine O’Neal’s embarrassment without watching the game.
This is indeed the case!
On the court, O’Neal, who was in a daze, watched Wang Song pass a long pass and then froze in place.
The fragmented memories in his mind could never pull him back to reality.
In the situation of five against four, Houston easily scored after receiving Wang Song’s pass in the bottom corner of the Knicks’ fast break.
In the situation of more against fewer, even the Lakers’ defense would find it difficult to cope.
Not to mention that in the case of O’Neal not sitting in the penalty area, the Lakers must focus on protecting the inside, and naturally, the Knicks have the opportunity to shoot from the outside.
The Zen Master called a timeout in time.
It was less than two minutes after the timeout ended, and the Lakers had just been overtaken, but the Zen Master still showed due caution. He saw that O’Neal’s condition on the court was not right.
This ball should have been a great opportunity for the Lakers to expand the score gap.
But because of O’Neal’s recklessness, the back and forth directly caused the Lakers to lose five points.
Whether it was O’Neal asking for the ball in the paint or the Lakers’ defense, the Zen Master could understand it, but he always felt that as a champion team, they should do better.
There is no joking in the army!
The Zen Master has always treated players with high standards and high requirements, which is why he was able to train unruly players like Jordan and Rodman.
O’Neal, who returned to the bench, did not lose his temper with the Zen Master, and apologized slightly.
This was not easy for the arrogant Shark. Seeing O’Neal’s sincere attitude, the Zen Master did not blame him too much, but just reminded him:
“If you want the fourth trophy in your career, I think you need to control your emotions.”
“The Lakers will not forget your name!”
After that, the Zen Master pointed to the jersey flying in the sky.
