After the last playoffs, Jiang Dongbing had already said that he would not use the shark-cutting tactics against O'Neal in the future. Although O'Neal undoubtedly doubted the authenticity of Jiang Dongbing's promise, if Jiang Dongbing really didn't use the shark-cutting tactics in this game, he would be confident that he would beat the Grizzlies.

O'Neal has not played against David Tyrone, a counterattack player. He beat him twice last season, and he is still confident that he will beat David.

...

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

Both sides began to appear. Just looking at the lineup of both sides, it was absolutely luxurious. Almost everyone could leave their own name in NBA history.

Needless to say, the Grizzlies are all All-Star players, and the Lakers are actually similar. Even Harper and Ac Green, who are weaker in the starting lineup, are very famous and were once at the All-Star level.

At the beginning, O'Neal won the jump ball and got the Lakers the first offensive leg.

As the No. 1 position, Harper did not control the ball. Instead, Kobe carried the ball and advanced. After reaching the frontcourt, he immediately came to Jackson's marking.

Jiang Dongbing said more than once in front of Jackson that Kobe will be the top offensive player in the league in the future, which made Jackson very dissatisfied.

If you want to talk about offense, Jackson beat Kobe in the McDonald's All-Star Game a few years ago. The two are about the same age and are old acquaintances. Jackson doesn't think Kobe's offense is better than him.

The two faced each other, Jackson seemed to be higher 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 outside offensive point, Glenn Les.

The former queen bee Glen Rice now also acknowledged his identity as the third leader of the team and worked diligently to play his role. After receiving the pass from Kobe, he directly took three-pointers 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. This ball prevented Les from being in the air and his body was unbalanced. Although he did not fall after landing, the three-pointer shot failed to hit.

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

If you look at the attributes, David's rebounding attributes have reached 94 points now, which is definitely a gap from O'Neal, but it depends on luck to grab the rebound. If the rebound is really hit on his head, it doesn't matter if the attribute weakness is not.

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

After O'Neal got the rebound, he directly sinks his center of gravity, and it seems that he wants to hit David with the back of the basket. This is undoubtedly O'Neal's most capable offensive weapon. His shooting percentage at the basket, which is nearly 80% higher, was hit by such a back of the basket.

Jiang Dongbing could clearly see David's expression serious, his huge body pressed directly behind O'Neal's butt, and two super heavyweight centers began to fight at the basket.

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

Although it is a little lighter than the peak 330 pounds, O'Neal's tonnage is also too advantageous compared to other centers.

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

David is taller than O'Neal. According to the physical test data given by the Clippers, David is 222 cm tall, his wingspan reaches 237 cm, and his tonnage is 156 kilograms. It's really scary if he looks at this silly. No wonder they didn't want to sell it even though David's performance was not so outstanding at the time.

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 if you look at the body, David even wants the mammoth to be bigger. After all, Mark Eaton's weight is less than 130 kilograms.

O'Neal's back shot was obviously resisted, and behind him was a player whose strength was not weak and whose tonnage was greater than that of him. How could he easily push it?

However, O'Neal encountered this situation last season, and he had a lot of experience to break this stalemate.

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

It is hard to imagine that players like O'Neal who look extremely rough and use so skillfully as a fine job as a hook.

This is actually the most terrifying thing about O'Neal. Not only is the physical fitness the ceiling of the center player, but also the ceiling level in terms of technology.

Players like Howard, Warcraft and Jordan Jr., who have strong physical fitness in later generations, naturally have power to play with their bodies. However, the reason why they cannot reach O'Neal's level is that their skills are too rough. They don't want to learn the offensive methods of Little Hook. They also invited Jabbar to be a trainer, but they just can't practice it.

O'Neal's little hook shot directly, making a good start for the Lakers.

At the beginning of the game, O'Neal scored 2 points and 1 rebound, showing his absolutely strong basket strength.

Turning his head, it was the Grizzlies' turn to play pick-and-rolls in the offensive round, Artest and Jackson played on the outside, but Kobe and Rice were both guarding the game with a tight defense. They did not take action, but Jackson passed it to O'Neal, who was waiting on the right side of the basket.

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

Although Jiang Dongbing does not recommend that the team shoot mid-range shots, Xiao Ao is definitely an exception. As the team's power forward, he does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers, but it is difficult to play at the basket. Therefore, mid-range shots have almost become Xiao Ao's only offensive method. If Xiao Ao is not allowed to shoot mid-range shots, he will have no value on the court.

Even though Ac Green is a player with a very good temper, his face is still ashen. His height and wingspan are too disadvantageous compared to Xiao Ao. If he is still young, he might be able to make up for his height and wingspan by relying on his bounce ability.

But now I am so old that I am not as good as Xiao Ao, so how can I defend Xiao Ao so blatantly ignore his attack?

After Xiao Ao scored, he smiled on his face. The fourth position is really the Lakers' shortcoming. It seems that his data will definitely be good tonight.

It was the Lakers' offensive round again. This time Kobe and Rice did not make any attack at all, and directly hung the ball to O'Neal at the basket.

Faced with opponents like the Grizzlies, Lakers players no longer care about their personal data. As long as they can win the Grizzlies, it means they have 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 at the basket, he used the same trick again. Judging from his posture, he should have to knock on his back and turn his back and hook up.

Unfortunately, O'Neal did not hit this time. David tried hard to block O'Neal, and then let O'O grab the rebound from Ac Green's head.

Jiang Dongbing nodded silently. The Grizzlies actually don’t need David to play too good data at all. The only thing he needs to do is to limit O’Neal, limit O’Neal’s dunk at the basket, and limit O’Neal’s rebounds. As long as O’Neal fails to play his due role, we hope that the old queen bee, young Mamba, old fish, Grandpa Lu and other groups can win the lineup like the Grizzlies?

After only two offensive and defensive rounds, Jiang Dongbing directly called for a timeout. The situation on the field was actually difficult to decide, but Jiang Dongbing felt that it was necessary to re-arrange the tactics on the field.

"David, I'm doing a pretty job, so I should play like this. Don't think about any data. The only thing you need to do is to limit Shaq's data."

"Although he uses his physical advantages to defend Shaq's basket attack, even if he has the offensive means of a small hook, the hit rate of the small hook is definitely far inferior to the dunk at the layup. If you can force him to use a small hook every time, it will be a success for you."

"In addition, when the rebound appears, you don't need to compete for the rebounds. You just need to lock O'Neal tightly and prevent him from getting the rebounds. Our Jermaine will naturally be able to grab the rebounds on Ac Green."

"Jermaine, you did a good job too. David has created such a good opportunity for you tonight. I hope you can play the data you deserve so that the whole world can 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 attack under David's defense, even if he gets some points, the Lakers will actually lose.

O'Neal's hit rate of small hook hands is actually not that high, roughly around 50%, and such a hit rate is obviously incomparable to O'Neal's overall hit rate.

In other words, the more O'Neal's small hook shots, the less effective he will be in offensive.

Moreover, under David's defense, O'Neal's hit rate of small hooks must have been affected, and it is impossible for him to 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 came to grab the rebounds, it is hard to say which one he or O'Neal can get, as it is very likely that O'Neal has a more advantage.

But now, according to Jiang Dongbing's plan, it is to stop snatching both of them. David relies on his huge body to block O'Neal as much as possible. The two of them entangled each other and no one would think of grabbing rebounds. Xiao Ao played an important role at this time. No matter which aspect he looked at, his rebounding strength would beat A Green.

Besides, Xiao Ao has basically reached the attribute limit, and his rebound attribute is as high as 94 points, while A Green's rebound attribute is definitely less than 90 points at his peak. Now it is estimated that it has dropped below 80 points. How can he be Xiao Ao's opponent?

After the suspension, both sides returned to the court. The Grizzlies' inside double towers strictly followed Jiang Dongbing's instructions to restrict O'Neal.

A few minutes later, O'Neal was going to go completely crazy, and he could see Jiang Dongbing's intentions clearly.

David Tyrone was a mess, and the basket was in chaos. O'Neal's offense was frustrated and all the rebounds were picked up by O'O again. O'Neal had enough strength, but he had nowhere to play.

A super big meat shield like David has finally played an extraordinary role now and has played a miraculous role in limiting O'Neal.

When he hit the back, O'Neal might be anxious. He used the deformation of his small hook, and even blocked David twice at one point.

Seeing O'Neal being entangled by a big meat shield, Lakers head coach Jackson on the sidelines looked ugly as if he was about to drip water, and his teeth were itchy when he hated him.

O'Neal was restricted, how can I play this game? The key opponent has not used the shark-cutting tactics yet, and directly using the meat shield tactics has caused the Lakers to have obvious disadvantages.

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

"Phil, maybe you should find a way to solve the opponent's meat shield tactic." O'Neal said to Zen Master Jackson in dissatisfaction during the halftime break.

The Zen master now didn't care about O'Neal calling his name directly, and he was thinking with a sad face.

If the Lakers could have a player like O'O at No. 4, the Grizzlies' meat shield tactics would not have the effect as they are now. If the Lakers tied with the Grizzlies No. 4 players at No. 4.

But now the Lakers' salary space is occupied by O'Neal, Kobe and Glen Rice. Where can I still have the salary space to sign a top four position?

A player like O'Neal Jr., who doesn't have an annual salary of 1,000 or 1,000 US dollars, can he sign a contract?

Unless the Zen master has the ability to draft picks like Jiang Dongbing, he can use the low pick to choose the top fourth-place player with extremely cost-effectiveness, let alone the Zen master does not have it, even if there is one, there is no draft pick before and after the village or the store before, so how can there be a draft?

After thinking for a long time, the Zen master still gained nothing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this game is the championship this season. The Grizzlies now have a clear advantage, and the Lakers still can't think of any way to turn defeat into victory. The Zen master naturally felt despair in his heart.

"Shake, David Tyron on the opposite side can't stay on the court for too long. Jiang Dongbing couldn't use him like this in the second half. You have to fight for David's absence in the second half and explode as much as possible." The Zen master thought for a while, and could only come up with such a statement to appease O'Neal.

In the first half, O'Neal never ended, and Jiang Dongbing also put in great effort to keep David on the court and spend time with O'Neal.

But now the second half is about to begin, Jiang Dongbing will definitely not do this. He has to be responsible for David's health. If he is really injured, it will be difficult to recover with David's tonnage like that.
Chapter completed!
