Seventy-five, the secret weapon left to the super center
Thanks to Super Dark Novice for the tip, it’s already the 6th and I’m still working hard...
The American Airlines Center, which can accommodate nearly 20,000 people, was packed today. This is the first time since the end of the Mourning era in 2000 that the Heat have been regarded as a strong team, and this game can also see O'Neal, who has been promoted on TV for a week.
The battle against Milicic made the fans even more interested. Sure enough, this game did not disappoint. The performances of O'Neal and Milicic made this game more interesting.
The Heat no longer dared to let Damon Jones dribble forward. Payton's pressure on him was too great and he almost intercepted Jones' ball twice. Although Jones is a point guard, his point guard
The ball and organizational skills are basically negligible. Fortunately, he met the old and frail Payton. If it were the young Payton, I am afraid he would have been replaced long ago. The reason why Van Gundy put him on the court
I just want his precise three-pointers. Now he is tied up under Payton's defense and can only let Wade start dribbling from the backcourt, and Tony Allen is not the same as Wade.
An easy guy to deal with, Tony Allen is just a cutter in the offensive system, so he basically puts all his energy into defense. This makes Wade uncomfortable. He doesn't want to be on Tony Allen's body.
Too much energy wasted.
Milicic and O'Neal inside were still pushing each other. O'Neal's position was not very good. Wade faked an outward pass after LaFrentz's pick-and-roll, passing Al Jefferson and Tony...
Allen broke through, and he rushed straight to the basket with quick steps. Milicic was waiting for Wade's impact at the basket, but at this moment, O'Neal, a fat man, turned around flexibly and ducked behind Milicic. Wade did the same.
Throwing the ball high, Milicic jumped up to block the shot, but the ball was far higher than the height of his block. Milicic immediately realized something was wrong, and saw O'Neal behind him receiving the ball and making a powerful alley-oop.
, as if he could smash the entire basket down. After O'Neal dunked, he showed off to Milicic: "This is why I can earn 20 million a year."
Milicic looked at O'Neal's butt that swayed when running, and really wanted to kick it directly, but he also made up his mind that he could no longer float around on the outside. This did not pose any threat to O'Neal and could not cause any damage.
Killing, and also making O'Neal easier on the defensive end, which will allow O'Neal to stay on the court longer.
When Milicic took a position in the paint, no one from the Heat interfered, because no one has been willing to take the initiative to challenge the giant O'Neal in the paint. Even if he challenged, he would lose miserably. O'Neal is definitely a person who makes people happy.
Reassuring inside barrier. Milicic was shouting for the ball. Payton saw that he only had a chance and passed the ball to the ground. Milicic used his back to feel O'Neal's power again, which can be used on the defensive end.
The forearm is pressed behind the attacker, which means that the attacker's power will be further restricted during the attack. Milicic hit twice, and O'Neal only stepped back a little. Milicic made a quick
Turning right, this is his specialty, turning to face the basket and hooking with his right hand. Milicic's hit rate was still very high when this technique was used, but O'Neal had already kept up with him and was very close to him.
If this ball is a hook, the shooting point must be higher than usual, otherwise it will be blocked by O'Neal. I saw that Milicic did not choose to hook, but jumped straight up with both feet on the ground.
With his arm straight above his head, he threw the ball with only the shaking of his wrist. O'Neal's block failed, and the ball was hit with a crisp sound as it hit the net. Milicic used
Rasheed Wallace's famous stunt - the straight-arm shot.
During the days of training with Rasheed Wallace, Milicic had mastered the basic essentials and specifically strengthened the strength exercises of his fingers and wrists. This was a technique he reserved for dealing with super centers like O'Neal.
.Obviously O'Neal was a little surprised that he didn't block the ball. Milicic's performance today was a bit beyond his expectation. Although O'Neal seemed careless, he had also studied Milicic before. Before November
During the schedule, Milicic did not encounter particularly good inside players except O'Neal Jr. and Duncan, and neither of them was a center, so O'Neal was not particularly concerned about Milicic's nearly 20+10 data. With some
As the team gradually gets to know Milicic, the proportion of Milicic's assists and assists increases, and his personal scoring becomes less and less. This also shows that Milicic is beginning to have some discomfort. Although Milicic was not used to it earlier.
His opponents are average, but it is also good for Milicic. His self-confidence has been built up. He is no longer the human victory cigar, but the second pick of the 2003 generation. He can compete with James, Anthony, and Wade.
A talented newcomer. In fact, Milicic's skills are still good in future generations. In an era when centers are scarce, he can still get a contract of five to six million, but his self-confidence has been destroyed. In many games, he even
He didn't even have the courage to take action. But now Milicic is very high-spirited. Although he knows that O'Neal is much stronger than him, he still wants to try to challenge and prove himself.
"The ball went in, and this guy actually used Rasheed's straight-arm shot. This was the shot he made to defeat the United States team in the Olympics. He had not used this shot much during this period of competition. It turned out that he
It's reserved for Shaq. Look at Shaq's stunned look, just like Duncan in the Olympics." Bill Walton clapped his hands when he saw this scene.
Scott said: "As you said, Milicic set up a game early to use this trick to deal with super centers, and the unfortunate Shaq became the target of his attack." "It may also be to deal with other players.
Darko's original weapons are enough. His straight-arm shot to score on O'Neal's head is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. This shows that his conventional weapons have no effect on Shaq. He wants to
Forced to make super difficult shots, Milicic has already used his trump card, but Shaq has not really shown his talents yet.
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied 18 to 17, with the Heat leading by 1 point. O'Neal scored 8 points, Wade had 6 points, Pierce had 7 points for the Celtics, and Milicic had 6 points.
