Defending champion

Chapter 340

Chapter 128

O'Neal is no longer young, but his athletic talent and strength should not be underestimated.O'Neal held the ball with his back at the basket to face David West and Chandler's double-team defense.

The Sharks are a little older now than they were in their prime.However, his deterrence around the basket can be seen from his ability to attract double teams around the basket.

With O'Neal holding the ball, David West and Chandler immediately became serious, especially Chandler, whose whole body was on Chandler's waist, making O'Neal unable to attack.

O'Neal bent down and slammed back hard, and Duncan's body staggered immediately. Just kidding, O'Neal is still the number one in the NBA, the number one tonnage.

Taking advantage of Chandler leaving his body, O'Neal immediately took off and returned a hook layup. Don't think that O'Neal is a player who only relies on his body to play.The No. [-] pick in [-] has the most abundant offensive skills among active centers.

The basketball spun away from O'Neill's hand, but just a dozen centimeters after the shot, a black shadow flew out from O'Neill's side, and a big hand covering the sky suddenly stretched out from the side on the rising basketball, 'Pa ', the basketball flew out directly.

"Jack...K!" The DJ at the scene deliberately prolonged, Jack's name!
boom!With a bang, Jack started to bring the atmosphere of the scene to its climax less than 2 minutes into the opening!

The ball was directly thrown back into the half court by Jack, and Butler turned around to catch up with the ball. The Heat players wanted to chase it back, but at this time, it was already too late.Butler made the ball with an easy three-step layup.

O'Neal was blocked by Jack at the beginning of the game, which means how embarrassing the former top center of the league is.

O'Neill's eyes were almost angry, and O'Neill warned Jack fiercely: "Rookie, you have angered me, and the consequences will be serious." O'Neill looked very angry, but this guy has a sense of comedy, even if he is angry It looked like he was smiling too.

Jack shrugged indifferently. The shark was old. If this was O'Neill in his prime, Jack must have a headache after hearing this. No one can stop the angry shark.But now O'Neal is no longer the unrivaled giant under the basket.If, now, it is really hard to fight against the shark, Jack will not have the slightest fear of the big shark.

Wade once again scored two points with his own throw after the breakthrough.

Jack immediately returned two points with an emergency stop jumper in the next attack. He stopped and made a mid-range shot in front of O'Neal after passing Wade. This made O'Neal very annoyed. This little rookie came here on purpose to disgust me. .

Jack's mid-range shot directly burned O'Neal's anger.Then O'Neal showed his anger, and after he caught the ball, he knocked Chandler away for dunks with both hands.

As a result, Chandler quickly served the ball, and while O'Neal was hanging on the hoop and screaming, Jack and Butler with the ball quickly made a quick move. Only Wade reacted. Two-on-one in the frontcourt, Jack tricked Wade and made the ball Passed to Butler who was following up, Butler jumped up directly from the ground, with a loud bang, Butler scored with a one-handed dunk.

Williams broke through and scored, James Posey missed a long shot, David West grabbed the rebound, Jack led the fast break, and when O'Neal caught up.

After Jack broke through, he directly threw the basketball in his hand to Peja Stockovic, who had already opened up in the low corner of the three-pointer.

Peja Stockovic raised the knife and dropped the basketball. The basketball rolled out of Peja Stockovic's hands. A layer of brilliant spray was stirred up on the basket.

Jack grasped the overall slow speed of the Heat. Under the leadership of Jack, the Hornets began to play fast breaks and runs. Jack and Butler formed a new combination of running and shooting. Jack's long shots and breakthroughs Ability did a lot of damage to the Heat.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets led by 26 points at 18:[-]. Wade scored half of the team's [-] points. He scored nine points in one quarter. Butler could only limit him a little, trying to defend completely It was simply impossible for him.

The Hornets can get off to a start like this at home.It's all because of the wave after wave of fast breaks that the Hornets have unleashed under Jack's leadership.

The Hornets' fast break made the Heat's players a little overwhelmed. The sweat on O'Neal's face was like streams. He could no longer keep up with these young people.

The same was true in the second quarter. Driven by Jack, the Hornets launched wave after wave of attacks.Parker Riley made several substitutions but still couldn't stop the powerful offensive firepower of the Hornets. The rhythm of the game has been taken over by the Hornets. Although Wade broke into the inside several times and forced shots to score, this did not change the team's overall lagging situation. .

The Hornets played smoothly, and the Hornets broke out in an all-round way. Peja Stockovic hit two mid-range shots in a row at the beginning of the second quarter. Butler made a long-range three-pointer. At that time, Butler received a point from Jack and made a three-pointer.

The basketball drew a perfect arc directly from the sky, and the basketball directly smashed into the basket.

The basketball directly smashed into the basket, and the basketball hit the net with a "swap" sound!The basketball sparked a layer of gorgeous waves directly above the rim.

At the end of halftime, the Hornets entered the locker room with a [-]-point lead, and the rest were O'Neal who didn't care, Parker Riley who was gloomy, and Wade who was unwilling.

Although Riley is dissatisfied with the current situation, there is no better way. The Hornets play too steadily, and you can't find the weakness of this team at all.Originally, Paul's injury should have led to a decline in the overall strength of the Hornets.However, now the Hornets have Jack playing the role of point guard.The strength of the Hornets has not declined, but now it has risen in a straight line.

For the Hornets, unless there is a big problem in itself, for example, the players collectively don’t feel good, for example, the team has internal strife; or there is a player on the opponent team who has God’s possession and becomes extremely fierce, otherwise you can’t even think about winning. it.

Now the players of the Hornets feel very good, and the overall shooting rate is more than 40.00%. And there is no player in the Heat that is unrivaled. Wade performed well, scoring [-] points and [-] rebounds in the half , Five assists, but it is obviously impossible to beat the Spurs with this result.

In the third quarter, the main players of both sides were replaced. The Heat sent the two old heroes Gary Payton and Alonzo Mourning, who won the championship last season, to the field.These two are old partners, and both are very experienced veterans, so they stabilized the situation as soon as they played.
