Chapter 278(1/2)
New problems were exposed inside the Bucks, but fortunately they were not very serious.
Reed unilaterally hopes to increase the ball rights and brush data, at most, it will be more sticky in the next period of time and the defense will be a little worse.
While these problems arise, there is no benefit at all, that is, Reed is more motivated to hedge rebounds.
The Bucks' lineup is now basically able to overcome these problems and win the game.
However, it is hard to say that you meet an opponent like the Celtics.
Now that the Bucks are in the East, the two opponents worth noting are the Nets and the Celtics.
The overall lineup of the Nets and Celtics in the new season has not changed much, but the Bucks have made considerable adjustments.
Judging from the current situation, the Bucks' overall strength has been slightly lower than last season.
Originally, the Bucks had a considerable advantage against the Nets and the Celtics, but now this advantage basically does not exist.
On December 6, the Bucks were visiting the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston.
Previously, the Bucks had the advantage against the Celtics on the outside, but with the departure of the three Musketeers, this advantage disappeared.
But then again, in the past, when the Bucks faced the Celtics with the sharks, their weakness was in the inside.
Now that Carl Malone joins, there is no need to be afraid of O'Neal.
When O'Neal first arrived at the Lakers, the Lakers had four All-Stars, but they were blocked by the Jazz outside the Finals.
The main credit of this is naturally not that Jazz has a white flesh shield like the Big White Bear, which can withstand O'Neal's output.
The most important thing is Carl Malone, who can fight against O'Neal for several waves, and can also fight O'Neal with color and keep scoring points on O'Neal.
Carl Malone is indeed old now, but isn’t O’Neal also tired of injury and has declined?
Now O'Neal is at the peak. At least in the regular season, O'Neal cannot use the strength to beat Carl Malone.
Then, it is also possible for Carl Malone and O'Nealdie to reduce their ball rights when they arrived at the Bucks.
Even if Carl Malone can't do it, aren't Kwame Brown and Boozer still there in the Bucks?
Wheel battle, let’s learn about it.
"Everyone takes your place, the game begins."
With the referee's order, the game officially began.
During the jump ball session, O'Neal and Kwame Brown both jumped from the ready-to-run state, rushed to the sky, and fought for the right to start the ball.
Kwame Brown's advantage of being young was shown. Originally, Kwame Brown's speed was not slow, but because of her youth, her reaction was a little faster than O'Neal.
With the help of Kwame Brown, he took the ball back to the Bucks, and the Bucks gained the ball and launched the first wave of offensive.
He Li held the ball in the arc, Reed and Karl Malone stood in two bottom corners, while Payton was at the strong side forty-five degrees and was ready to support at any time, Kwame Brown stood under the basket.
The five Bucks have relatively high positions. Although the Celtics took joint defense, they had to disperse them.
From He Li's perspective, now he has a lot of hope to break through with the ball and directly hit the basket and challenge O'Neal to score a layup.
If O'Neal is not careful, he might even be locked up by him, then it's not clear.
"Ducking O'Neal?" It's quite exciting to think about it.
Looking back, He Li didn't seem to have dunked O'Neal last season, which means that He Li hasn't done such an excessive thing to O'Neal for more than a year.
So, should you try it today?
O'Neal: Are you polite and busy?
It was time to say that, and the Celtics were stunned when they saw He Li in the top arc. When He Li suddenly opened the ball, he didn't react for a while.
He Li did not continue to gain weight this season. He Li maintained his previous movement ability. He broke through to the free throw line in the first step of the dribble, instead took the second step with the ball, and took the European layup to attack.
O'Neal couldn't guess what he had to stop and take the mid-range shot, but he would just use European steps to pass him, so he could only take a steady approach first, put on a defensive posture, and not take off for the time being.
But I didn't expect that O'Neal was too steady. He Li came up and started a free throw line without talking about the ball. The windmill started to jump in one-handed buckle.
O'Neal clearly saw that He Li wanted to dunk in front of him when he jumped, so he subconsciously followed him to jump and blocked He Li's ball.
But he just reacted slowly and missed the opportunity to block it. As a result, he jumped up and was treated as a living target by He Li, and directly killed him head-on.
"Haha, Shaq, you are a good person, I only know now. Thank you for sending me the top ten goals!" After dunking O'Neal, He Li was happy.
This is really a wish.
He Li was just trying to dunk O'Neal. In fact, He Li also thought about it, and in the end he just made a simple layup.
But I didn't expect that O'Neal would cooperate like this, which seemed easier than dunking Duncan.
"He Li, why don't you shoot? Aren't you very good at shooting three-pointers?" O'Neal was dunked by He Li, and naturally looked unhappy.
But He Li's identity is different now. He is like him, with two championships and two FMVPs in hand.
He Li was the All-Star Ticket King last year. Now O'Neal is in the Eastern Conference and will definitely cooperate with He Li in the All-Star Game.
In addition, O'Neal was also jealous of the Chinese market behind He Li, so there was no need to get angry with He Li because of the unhappiness in one or two games.
There is no need for this, O'Neal is still worthy of recognition in terms of emotional intelligence.
“Although I have a high grasp of three-pointers, I have one more point than two-pointers.
But this doesn't mean I can only score on three-pointers? Isn't the 100% shooting percentage much stronger than the 50% three-pointer?
Just like Shaq, you have almost 100% hit rate at the basket, but you are also good at small hooks and small boards.
But if you choose, do you dunk or hook?"
After He Li was happy, he was more polite to O'Neal, but instead praised O'Neal for his own tricks.
However, O'Neal didn't feel happy. Instead, he felt that He Li was sarcastic and said that he could only use his body to score points, and that He Li was the one who was good at playing skills.
So, O'Neal soon showed a shark's attitude of being angry and having serious consequences.
The current tonnage of Aopang is indeed a big hit in the inside line.
Even though the Bucks had two big men, Karl Malone and Kwame Brown, fighting with O'Neal naked, and the man was a man, O'Neal was not afraid.
In the first quarter, O'Neal opened fire with all his strength, made 6 of 9 shots and scored 13 points on his own.
If Pierce hadn't made quite a few shots in the first quarter, and O'Neal's free throw level was not online today, otherwise it would have been impossible for O'Neal to score 20 in a single quarter.
Fortunately, O'Neal did not score 20 in a single quarter. After the first quarter, the Bucks still gained a 2-point advantage, although this advantage was not big.
But the Bucks are not very worried. The Bucks' inside players in the first quarter are visible to the naked eye.
Even if O'Neal has enough rest in the second quarter, the Bucks can still use a small lineup to run and speed up, allowing O'Neal to follow behind and eat badly.
When O'Neal couldn't play in the second half, would the Bucks win this game and won't be able to win it?
Speaking of which, the Bucks in the first quarter actually had a chance to speed up, but Carl Malone could go down quickly.
However, the Bucks played relatively steadily, and the first quarter also gave Payton and Karl Malone the opportunity to play tactical games, so more offenses ended with positional battles.
Time soon came to more than 5 minutes in the second quarter. The two teams used the timeout and sent He Li and O'Neal at the same time.
Before the suspension ended, He Li gave Wade some advice.
"In a while, you can do a pick-and-roll with me and I'll give you the ball.
You run to the other side and I will help you open the space.
And what you have to do is fly to O'Neal's head and dunk the ball into the basket.
Do you understand?"
Wade seemed to be shocked by He Li's suggestion. His cheeks, which were not bulging, suddenly became bigger because of his nervousness.
"Thank you, boss, I will definitely not let you down." Wade understood what he was going to do next.
Wade's explosive power is quite good, he jumps and dunks at the basket, which is what he is better at.
Next, He Li will help him clear some of the obstacles on the road so that he can break through the basket and challenge O'Neal.
Soon, He Li and Wade took action on the Bucks.
He Li took advantage of Wade's pick-and-roll to the left. O'Neal saw that He Li was so determined today, and he felt that the situation was not good.
There is no way. In order to avoid being blocked by He Li, who is too strong in sports, O'Neal's entire attention is on He Li, and his body is also moving in the direction where He Li is.
However, just where He Li was two steps away from O'Neal, He Li passed the ball without looking at the person and hit him.
At this time, the Celtics' defensive players were almost all focused on He Li. While He Li was passing the ball, because the person was still moving forward, the Celtics subconsciously followed He Li to continue their sight with confidence.
But unexpectedly, the ball had already left He Li's hand and bounced into Wade's hand who turned around and broke through through the floor.
“Once, again, Bucks rookie Dwyane Wade succeeded in finishing a dunk on Shaquille O’Neal’s head.
Another player who dunked Shaquille O'Neal appeared in the Bucks' team!
Perhaps most people can't believe that the two players have been dunking Shaquille O'Neal for less than half an hour."
O'Neal is the highlight of the game, and O'Neal, who is blocked, is even more of the highlight of the game.
Although live commentators often tend to be biased towards the home team, sometimes unlucky kids like O'Neal are defeated, and live commentators will not favor each other, but will be rendered with great color.
Unlike the joy of the live commentary, O'Neal was quite angry and angry.
