After the last playoffs, Jiang Dongbing has already said that he will not use the shark-killing tactic against O'Neal in the future. Although O'Neal has unlimited doubts about the authenticity of Jiang Dongbing's promise, if Jiang Dongbing really doesn't use the shark-killing tactic in this game, he has

Confidence beats the Grizzlies.

It's not like O'Neal has never beaten David Taillon, his opponent. He beat him twice last season. Now he still has the confidence to beat David.

…

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and this highly anticipated game officially began.

Players from both sides began to appear. Just looking at the lineups of both players, it was absolutely luxurious. Almost everyone could leave their name in NBA history.

Needless to say, the Grizzlies are all All-Star players, and the Lakers are almost the same. Even Harper and AC Green, who are relatively weak in the starting lineup, are very famous and were once All-Stars.

.

At the beginning, O'Neal won the jump ball and gave the Lakers the ball in the first offensive round.

Harper, as the No. 1 position, did not control the ball. Instead, Kobe advanced with the ball. When he reached the frontcourt, he was immediately marked by Jackson.

Jiang Dongbing said to Jackson more than once that Kobe Bryant would be the top attacker in the league in the future, which made Jackson very unconvinced.

As for offense, Jackson defeated Kobe in the McDonald's All-Star Game a few years ago. The two were of the same age and were old acquaintances. Jackson didn't think Kobe's offense could be better than his own.

The two faced off, and Jackson looked taller than Kobe, and even had a better wingspan. Kobe did not pass Jackson in disguise, and then directly chose to pass the ball to another Lakers perimeter attack point.

Len Rice.

Glenn Rice, the former queen bee, has now acquiesced to his status as the third-in-command of his team, playing his role conscientiously. After receiving a pass from Kobe, he directly shot a three-pointer under Artest's defense.

Glenn Rice's three-pointer is a very reliable offensive weapon for the Lakers. Unfortunately, Artest's defense is definitely not a vegetarian. Rice was unbalanced in the air when he defended the ball. Although he did not fall after landing, he

The three-point shot missed.

Jiang Dongbing looked nervous, wondering if David could grab this rebound.

Looking at attributes, David's current rebounding attribute has reached 94 points, which is definitely still far behind O'Neal, but rebounding also depends on luck. If the rebound really hits him on the head, it doesn't matter if the attribute weakness is there.

Unfortunately, the position of this rebound was extremely beneficial to O'Neal, and David failed to grab this defensive rebound.

After O'Neal got the rebound, he immediately lowered his focus and looked like he was going to hit David behind the basket. This is undoubtedly O'Neal's best offensive weapon. His shooting percentage at the basket is as high as nearly 80%.

It was blasted out.

Jiang Dongbing could clearly see David's serious expression, his huge body directly pressing behind O'Neal's butt, and the two super heavyweight centers started fighting under the basket.

According to the data provided by the Lakers a few days ago, O'Neal's current tonnage is 153 kilograms, which means that O'Neal's current tonnage exceeds 300 kilograms!

Although it is a bit lighter than his peak weight of 330 pounds, O'Neal's weight is a huge advantage compared to other centers.

Unfortunately, he met David, a player with the same bug.

David is taller than O'Neal. According to the physical measurement data provided by the Clippers, David is 222 centimeters tall, with a wingspan of 237 centimeters and a tonnage of 156 kilograms. Just looking at this figure, it is really scary.

It's no wonder that the Clippers didn't want to sell David even if his performance wasn't that outstanding.

It is said that David is an active mammoth, and some people say that David is the illegitimate son of the mammoth Mark Eaton. But purely in terms of body size, David is even bigger than the mammoth. After all, Mark Eaton only weighs less than 130 kilograms.

Look.

O'Neal's back hit obviously encountered resistance. Behind him stood a player who was not weaker than him and was even larger than him. How could he push away so easily?

However, O'Neal encountered this situation last season, and he has full experience to break this stalemate.

All I saw was O'Neal's body suddenly stood upright, then he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right arm and shot directly towards the basket with a small hook.

It's hard to imagine that a player like O'Neal, who looks so rough, can be so skilled at such a delicate hook.

This is actually the scariest thing about O'Neal. Not only is his physical fitness the ceiling for center players, but his skills are also at the ceiling level.

Players like Warcraft Howard and DeAndre Jordan who have strong physical fitness in later generations rely on their bodies to play and are naturally powerful. However, why they cannot reach the heights of O'Neal is because their skills are too rough. They also have offensive methods such as small hooks.

It’s not that I don’t want to learn, I hired Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a trainer, but I just can’t get it right.

O'Neal's little hook went straight in, giving the Lakers a good start.

O'Neal scored 2 points and 1 rebound in the opening game, showing his absolute strength under the basket.

Turning around, it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack. Artest and Jackson started a pick-and-roll on the outside. However, Kobe and Rice defended tightly. The two did not take action, but Jackson passed the ball to the ball.

O'Neal Jr. waiting on the right side of the basket.

After O'Neal Jr. caught the ball, he ignored AC Green's defense without saying a word and scored in the mid-range shot.

Although Jiang Dongbing does not encourage the team to shoot mid-range shots, Ou is definitely an exception. As the team's power forward, he does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers, but he is not good at hitting the basket, so mid-range shots are almost impossible.

It has become Ou's only offensive method. If Ou is not allowed to hit the mid-range shot, he will have little value on the court.

Even though AC Green is a player with a good temper, he is looking livid right now. His height and wingspan are too disadvantageous compared to O'Neill. If he is still young, then relying on his jumping ability may be able to make up for the disadvantage of height and wingspan.

But now that I am at this age and my jump is not as high as that of Xiao Ao, how can I prevent Xiao Ao from blatantly ignoring his own attacks?

After Ou scored, a smile appeared on his face. The fourth position is indeed the Lakers' shortcomings. It seems that his data tonight will definitely be good.

It was the Lakers' offensive round again. This time, Kobe and Rice didn't attack at all, and directly lobbed the ball to O'Neal under the basket.

Facing opponents like the Grizzlies, the Lakers players actually don't care much about their own personal data. As long as they can beat the Grizzlies, it means they have the hope of winning the championship this year, so they passed the ball to O'Neal without saying a word.

.

After O'Neal received the ball under the basket, he immediately repeated his old trick. Judging from the posture, it should be a back-turning hook shot.

It's a pity that O'Neal failed to hit the ball this time. David struggled to block O'Neal, and then let O'Neal grab the rebound on AC Green's head.

Jiang Dongbing nodded silently. The Grizzlies actually don't need David to produce good data at all. The only thing they need him to do is to limit O'Neal, limit O'Neal's dunks under the basket, and limit O'Neal's rebounds. As long as O'Neal fails to perform as he should.

With some effects, do you expect the old Queen Bee, the young Mamba, Lao Yu, Grandpa Lu and a bunch of others to be able to defeat a lineup like the Grizzlies?

After only two offensive and defensive rounds, Jiang Dongbing called a timeout. The situation on the court was actually difficult to determine the outcome, but Jiang Dongbing felt that he needed to rearrange his tactics on the court.

"David, you did a great job. Just play like this. Don't think about the data. The only thing you need to do is limit Shaq's data."

"Although you use your physical advantage to defend against Shaq's attack at the basket, even if he has a small hook attack method, the shooting rate of the small hook is definitely far inferior to that of dunks under the basket. If you can force him

Use the little hook every time, and that's a success for you."

"In addition, when the rebound appears, you don't need to fight for the rebound. You only need to block O'Neal and prevent him from getting the rebound. Our Jermaine can naturally grab the rebound over AC Green.

.”

"Jermaine, you did a good job. David has created such a good opportunity for you tonight. I hope you can play the data you deserve and let the world see that our O'Neal is no worse than the Lakers' O'Neal!"

"Jiang Dongbing clapped his hands and encouraged.

David and Xiao Ao nodded quickly. After Jiang Dongbing's guidance, their game ideas became much clearer.

Jiang Dongbing is right. If O'Neal can only use a small hook to end the offense under David's defense, then even if he scores some points, the Lakers will actually lose.

O'Neal's small hook hit rate is actually not that high, roughly around 50%. Such a hit rate is obviously incomparable with O'Neal's overall hit rate.

In other words, the more O'Neal's small hook shots are taken, the lower his offensive efficiency will be.

Moreover, under David's defense, O'Neal's small hook shooting percentage will definitely be affected, and it is impossible for him to still perform at a normal level.

In addition to reducing O'Neal's efficiency as much as possible on the offensive end, David can also limit O'Neal's rebounds.

If David also comes to grab rebounds, it's hard to say who will get it between him and O'Neal. It's likely that O'Neal will have the advantage.

But now according to Jiang Dongbing's plan, neither of them can grab the rebound. David relies on his huge body to block O'Neal as much as possible. The two are entangled with each other, and no one wants to grab the rebound. At this time, O'Neal

He has played an important role. No matter how you look at it, his rebounding ability is better than AC Green.

Moreover, because Ou has basically reached the limit of his attributes, his rebounding attribute is also as high as 94 points, while AC Green's rebounding attribute was definitely less than 90 points even in his peak period, and it is estimated that it has dropped below 80 points now.

, how could he be Xiao Ao’s opponent?

After the timeout, both teams returned to the court, and the Grizzlies' interior twin towers strictly followed Jiang Dongbing's instructions to restrict O'Neal.

After a few minutes, O'Neal went completely crazy. He finally saw Jiang Dongbing's intention clearly.

David Taillon was just a troublemaker, causing chaos under the basket. O'Neal's offense was frustrated, and all the rebounds were picked up by O'Neal. O'Neal had all the strength, but he had nowhere to use it.

A super human shield like David has finally played an extraordinary role, and it has been miraculous in restricting O'Neal.

Playing from the back, O'Neal may have been anxious, and used a deformed hook, and even blocked David's shot twice.

Seeing O'Neal being entangled in the big human shield, Lakers head coach Jackson Jackson's face looked as ugly as if he was dripping water, and his teeth were itching with hatred.

With O'Neal being restrained, how can we still play this game? The key opponent has not yet used the Shark Chopping tactic, and directly uses the human shield tactic, which puts the Lakers at a clear disadvantage.

Because O'Neal was entangled, the Lakers were now completely behind. At the end of the half game, they were already behind by 17 points.

"Phil, maybe you should find a way to solve the opponent's human shield tactics." O'Neal said to Jackson Jackson very unhappily during the halftime break.

Now the Zen master didn't care that O'Neill called him by his first name, and began to think with a sad expression on his face.

If the Lakers could have a player like O'Neill at the fourth position, then the Grizzlies' meat shield tactics would not have the current effect. It would be a tie between the Lakers and the Grizzlies at the fourth position.

But now that more than half of the Lakers' salary space is occupied by O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Glen Rice, where is there any salary space to sign a top fourth position?

How can a player like O'Neal be signed without an annual salary of 8 million US dollars?

Unless Jackson has drafting ability like Jiang Dongbing and can use low-ranking picks to select top fourth-position players with extremely high cost performance, not to mention that Jackson doesn't have one, even if he does, at this point in time, there is no place to start.

There is no talent show.

After thinking about it for a long time, the Zen master still didn't gain anything.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this game is the battle for the championship this season. Now the Grizzlies have a clear advantage, and the Lakers can't think of any way to turn defeat into victory. Naturally, Jackson feels despair in his heart.

"Shaq, David Taillon on the opposite side cannot stay on the court for too long. Jiang Dongbing can't use him like this in the second half of the game. You have to strive for the time when David is not on the court in the second half and explode as much as possible." Jackson thought for a long time.

, and could only come up with such an argument to appease O'Neal.

In the first half of the game, O'Neal never came off the field. Jiang Dongbing also worked hard to keep David on the court to compete with O'Neal.

But now that the second half is about to begin, Jiang Dongbing definitely can't do this anymore. He has to be responsible for David's health. If he is really injured, with David's weight, it will be very difficult to recover.
