NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The two of them were very close, and the two of them were very close.

Chapter 295 Cold eyes

Opening jump ball!

O’Neal looked at Wang Song with a fierce look on his face.

If Kobe’s emotional value towards Kobe reached 80 when he met and laughed with Wang Song, then his emotional value towards Wang Song was at least 40.

In comparison, it was indeed a small hatred, but it was not completely without anger.

With this anger, O’Neal jumped with all his strength… and lost to Wang Song without any surprise.

Wang Song didn’t care about the expression on the other’s face at all.

It is impossible to say that there is no cost for adding fuel to the fire.

But he didn’t care at all. Instead, he smiled and greeted Kobe at the beginning.

This was like adding fuel to the fire for O’Neal, which completely inspired the fighting spirit of the Sharks.

But unfortunately, he overestimated the extent to which his fighting spirit would improve his strength.

The cramps in G3 itself had a certain impact on O’Neal’s mental state. Although it did not cause any substantial injuries, it was not easy for the 35-year-old veteran to overcome this psychological barrier in a short time.

O’Neal failed to burst out the explosive power of his peak period!

The ball was easily won by Wang Song.

This is not over yet. The Knicks, who got the ball, directly launched a fast break. Nash helped Prince cut inside and scored two points, giving the away challenge to the Lakers a good lesson.

The performance of “Little Prince” Tayshaun Prince in this series can be said to be remarkable.

In addition to limiting Kobe on the defensive end, the offensive end also created a considerable advantage for the Knicks with the young running and off-ball screens, and the on-court efficiency value was among the best in the team.

Turning around, it was his chance to perform again.

Perhaps Wang Song’s words before the game took effect, Kobe showed a strong desire to attack as soon as the game started.

Prince quickly stuck to him.

Looking at the vigilant Prince, Wang Song could only smile bitterly.

If Kobe, who was stimulated by this game, would attack in a big way, then Prince would be the only victim of the entire Knicks team.

Kobe said nothing and directly signaled his teammates in the interior to move away to make room for him to play one-on-one.

O’Neal looked a little unhappy, but he still moved his position symbolically.

The Big Shark was actually very resistant to this kind of action. There was no threat of the basket, and the defenders would not follow him at all.

It can be said that every time Kobe signaled to move away, O’Neal was just a pure decoration standing on the court.

Because the Asian kid would not follow him at all, he would just stand in the restricted area like a wooden stake, and occasionally say a few trash words.

“Shaq, you shoot, I’ll wait for your rebound!”

“Can a guy who doesn’t even know how to shoot free throws hit a mid-range shot?”

···

Wang Song’s words were like a nightmare that tightly entangled O’Neal.

If it was three years ago, he would definitely rush into the basket and strongly ask Kobe for the ball, and complete a dunk over the head of this Knicks rookie.

But now he has begun to decline, not only is it difficult to complete his technical moves, but even asking for the ball from the increasingly mature Kobe has become an extremely difficult thing.

Bang!

Bang!

After a series of back probing, Kobe directly rotated and jumped to turn over and lean back.

Hollow into the net, 2 points in the bag.

After scoring the first positional goal, Kobe did not look at his Lakers teammates at the first time, but looked at Wang Song standing in the restricted area with a smile on his face.

And it was not a provocative smile, but a gentle smile, like a child’s smile after a little success in front of his parents.

Wang Song did not respond, of course.

It would be too much to interact with Kobe at this time.

What’s more, the opponent hit his own basket.

If Wang Song dared to show any smile at this time, the 20,000 New York fans at the scene would spray him to pieces after the game.

But then again, Kobe’s mid-range and turnaround fadeaways were indeed mastered to perfection during this period, which can be said to have laid a solid foundation for the 81-point dragon-slaying and three-quarter slaughter of the bull two years later.

Knicks attack!

Nash pushed forward in the backcourt. In this round, the Knicks could no longer use the running battle fast break to score like in the last round.

The Lakers, who reacted, took their positions and set up a defensive posture early.

Especially O’Neal, who kept staring at Wang Song covetously.

However, due to Wang Song’s offensive range, the Sharks did not dare to completely let him go after Wang Song passed the half court, and quickly asked his teammates to help look after him.

point.

And his seemingly contradictory action became the breakthrough of the Knicks’ offense in this round.

It can also be said to be the breakthrough of the Knicks’ positional warfare in this game!

While O’Neal was standing near the free throw line, Wang Song suddenly took advantage of Kurt Thomas’s back-run to slip to the top of the arc.

A single move affects the whole body!

Wang Song’s running directly attracted the attention of all defenders.

But what they didn’t realize was that a figure had quietly sneaked into the penalty area. When Houston cut in, the ball in Nash’s hand was like a cruise missile, directly sent to his arms.

Although his physical condition is not the best, after two days of adjustment,

The “mid-range shooting king” has a lot of open-minded ideas!

He is not as old as O’Neal, and he is far inferior to him in tonnage.

After Nash and Wang Song joined, it can be said that his offensive pressure and the burden of responsibility in the team are much smaller.

Therefore, this minor injury did not become an obstacle to Houston’s playing.

When Houston made the decision in front of Wang Song and was ready to bet his career on that blocked shot, the latter expressed his sincere admiration for him.

Houston’s move further confirmed the saying: “Never underestimate a champion’s heart.”

You know, according to the normal timeline, the “mid-range shooting king” in front of him worked hard for the Knicks for more than ten years, and was scolded by New York fans for not playing when he left the team.

Now the other party is willing to fight for this championship with everyone, and even bet his entire career. For Wang Song, those bad memories about the Knicks veteran have long been erased.

At least after he came to the Knicks, the spirit and ideology of this team’s predecessor were enough to make him admire.

3:4!

The scoreboard jumped, and the five Lakers looked weird.

Especially Kobe, as Houston’s defender, he was coldly looked down upon by the other four.

“Little Peter Pan”, who was in a good state of mind, didn’t care and raised his hand to indicate his problem.

In fact, from the root, this round of defense is completely a rotation problem.

When all five Knicks players have the ability to shoot three-pointers, Wang Song, the center who suddenly mastered the ability to shoot three-pointers, really had a huge impact on the Lakers’ defense.

Another thing is Wang Song’s direct opponent – Shaquille O’Neal. The big shark’s defense of the restricted area is too important.

This also directly led to the rest of the people only being able to constantly assist in defense and interfere with the opponent through zone defense, and naturally there was a gap in the restricted area for the opponent to take advantage of.
