Chapter 275 274: With the youngest top 50 star, how strong can a team with a mid-range offensive ranking be?
Great players can always accomplish great things.
O'Neal's Knicks debut helped the team create a great historical record.
It is self-evident how popular O'Neal was at the post-game press conference after setting a record in his debut.
O'Neal does what he says, Make New York great again.
The Knicks, who had no sense of presence since Ewing left, now have a full presence!
In the first game, the Knicks became so ugly that they attracted everyone's attention. Why isn't this called Great Again?
As soon as O'Neal walked into the media center where the press conference was held, he heard the sound of camera shutters like machine gun fire.
Shark didn't want to come to the press conference. After all, he was slaughtered for 47 points and still had to be besieged by reporters. This was really too social.
It's equivalent to having a prostitute arrested and having to go to the workplace to hold a review meeting in front of everyone.
But there's no way around it. As New York's number one, he can escape the first grade of junior high but not the fifteenth grade.
Even if he does not attend the press conference tonight, he will be besieged by reporters on various occasions.
Therefore, the shark finally decided to die early and be reborn early.
As soon as O'Neal sat down, the reporter's first question made O'Neal very embarrassed:
"Shaq, if a center is guarded by a player about 2 meters tall, how much annual salary do you think he is worth?"
New York reporters are notoriously vicious, and they won't give him any face just because he's a Knicks player.
O'Neal began to defend: "Dennis used all kinds of little moves and dives to deal with me, and the Lakers also arranged a lot of double-teams. This is not fair at all! In one-on-one, Rodman is not mine at all.
opponent!"
"But the team lost by 47 points, right? No matter what, this is the responsibility of the star player! Wasn't Shea not flanked? Wasn't he targeted?"
O'Neal was speechless and didn't know what to say on the stage.
Afterwards, another reporter stood up:
"Shaq, just now at the press conference on the other side, Rodman said. Ahem, I was just paraphrasing it for him. He said it all:
Oh my god, if I were the boss, I would not give a 120 million contract to a big guy who only looks good. At most, he only deserves the same 2.5 million as me!
Is there any practical significance in just looking at a guy who can’t be used?”
After hearing this, veins popped up on O'Neal's head. Shea could just pretend to be mad in front of him, but what kind of Rodman is he? Is he worthy of talking about me?
Moreover, let’s talk about the “salary” thing that O’Neal dislikes the most.
O'Neill slammed the table angrily:
"Dennis is nothing fucking amazing! Who does he think he is? Does he really think he can win?
As if he didn't feel relieved enough, O'Neal added the famous sentence:
"Dennis is a piece of shit, my grandma can win with Shay!"
The reporters’ eyes suddenly lit up:
"So, you admit that Shea is better than you? You admit that Shea can win even with a player that you think is worthless?
Do you admit that you regret provoking Shay in the summer?"
O'Neal clenched his fists, knowing that if he didn't say something today, it would be impossible to get out of here.
Therefore, with a strong sense of shame, the Shaq who was still arrogant in the offseason, the Shaq who threatened to get Shay, the Shaq who signed a big contract and came to the big city thinking that he was already a master.
Shaq lowered his proud head under the pressure of Shay:
"Okay man, I admit it, Shai is probably the best player in the league!
He beat us to a pulp today! Provoking him was the biggest mistake I've ever made!"
After saying this, O'Neal stood up and left the scene directly.
His debut in New York completely turned into a joke of his career.
And this incident also tells Shark that if he encounters Shay in the future, it is best to take a detour!
Garnett: Yeah!
If you challenge Shay, the consequences will be very tragic!
On the other hand, the atmosphere of the Lakers' press conference was cheerful.
Regarding Rodman, the devil in people's eyes, Shay did not hesitate to express his kind words:
"Dennis is a defensive warrior who has been misunderstood for a long time. I don't know how the Spurs use him, but in Los Angeles, he can use his strength to the fullest!"
Rodman's performance made Shay and the Logo Man look shameless.
After all, when the Lakers first signed Rodman, even Lakers fans themselves were not optimistic about the signing.
During the offseason, all kinds of tidbits about him were flying around, which made fans even more worried.
Moreover, Carmen also revealed that Shea personally grabbed Rodman from the bed and took him to the training ground. This shows how bad Rodman is.
Of course, after Madonna heard about this, she had already planned to use Rodman as bait to lure Shay to her home, and then catch them all!
As a result, the bad Rodman actually started the game today.
To be honest, Lakers fans were extremely worried at first.
But in the end, Rodman was stunned and forced the Sharks to only score 22 points and 5 turnovers!
22 points seems like a lot, but don't forget that the Sharks averaged nearly 30 points per game last season. Moreover, as a center, the Sharks shot only 42% from the field today.
Shay praised Hua Da Chong, and Hua Da Chong praised Shay in turn:
"Shay is the most dominant player I've ever seen, bar none. I just love playing with the best players in the league because they always make the game easy.
As for the top 50 superstars, I think there is no suspense at all. If there is no Shay in the top 50 superstars, then this lineup selection will not be convincing at all.
Of course, Shaq and Shay are on the same level in this regard.
If Shaq is included in the top 50 stars, this lineup selection will not be convincing at all."
Rodman just had a fight with Shark today, and he won't give up until he becomes autistic.
Drexler should be thankful that Rodman didn't team up with Shay a few years ago.
Otherwise, the slider would probably have retired due to psychological trauma.
At the same time, people are also amazed that Rodman is so understanding of the world.
Back when he was with the Spurs, Rodman was more like the big brother of the team than the admiral, let alone flattering him.
The label of being unruly and disobedient to discipline was also attached to him at that time.
As a result, now, Rodman is actually trying to flatter Shay like crazy.
Reporters were all curious: "Shay, how do you and Dennis get along so well?"
Rodman looked at Shay, who just smiled: "It's just to convince people with virtue~"
In this way, poor O'Neal became the first person to be sacrificed in the new season.
Shay also got his wish, making the entire league smell the smell of blood.
The next day, a picture of a dejected O'Neal made the front pages of major media outlets in New York.
The newspaper titles are all uniformly a red "47", which is quite eye-catching.
O'Neal's Knicks debut made him famous.
On NBC, the hosts joked:
"If you let New York fans vote again, ask them if O'Neal is worth 100 million.
Believe me, it will never happen again that 91% of people voted "not worth it".
I estimate this number will rise to 95%!"
"There is a reason why Orlando is unwilling to give the Sharks a billion-dollar contract."
"Shaq is one of the worst signings in Knicks history, bar none."
O'Neal is probably feeling regretful now. If he hadn't made Shea popular, the league probably wouldn't have arranged for the Knicks to play the Lakers in the opening game.
If the Lakers and Knicks were not scheduled to play the opening game, the Sharks' debut would not be so miserable.
North Carolina, Louisville, old Charles, who loves basketball very much, is watching TV and looking at his son who has been playing basketball since he was 3 years old:
"Remember, it is a shame to let others win so many points on the basketball court! Even if you have to lose, you must lose with dignity."
Charles Paul's son Chris nodded disdainfully. At this time, his favorite was football, so he was not very interested in basketball news.
Moreover, he really couldn't imagine how it was possible to lose 47 points in a game. It was so funny!
