This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 351 O'Neal's Sorrow
Roy Hibbert easily got the first ball from Shaquille O'Neal. The once mighty O'Neal is still under the impact of years, showing his old age. The Charlotte Bobcats got it In the first wave of possession, Raymond Felton and Ramon Sessions are also very familiar teammates. Last season, they still had the boundaries of starting and substituting. Sessions was relatively successful in defending Felton. For Felton's fake moves, and some subtle moves, he predicted better. He forced Felton to take his left hand, which was not smooth, and shot an arrow on horseback.

On O'Neal's side, relying on his generous body, he squeezed the opponent away and let LeBron James get the rebound.

What Ramon Sessions did in the Cavaliers is actually not much different from what he did in the Bobcats. The real ball-handler in the Bobcats was Zhou Lin. In the Cavaliers, although James played the third position , but almost holds more than half of the ball. As a player in the first position, Ramon Sessions has only three things to do, dribbling across the half court, defending, and taking the opportunity to shoot open shots.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, the main attack was O’Neal at the beginning. Today’s O’Neal is no longer an invincible shark on both offense and defense, but even if the shark has no teeth, at the stage of his best physical fitness, 300 catties On the offensive end, O'Neal still has a lot of threats.

Although Roy Hibbert is already an inside player in the league, his height and weight are closer to O'Neal's inside player, but after facing O'Neal to occupy a key position, Roy Hibbert can only do It was watching O'Neal put the basketball into the basket.

If the basketball game only played 12 minutes, or if O'Neal only played one quarter, then O'Neal is still one of the best insiders in the league today.

The Sharks team up or help James catch up with Jordan's pace. The Cavaliers need such a player who can stand in the paint.

Shaquille O'Neal's arrival in the Cavaliers was the absolute best the Cavaliers could do after another playoff loss.

For the Cavaliers, using such an attractive contract space in exchange for O'Neal has only one purpose: to help James win the championship.

Such a well-known purpose.

Whether it's the Magic or the Bobcats, in the playoffs of the past two years, James has seemed a little helpless.

Akron's small ball market is also doomed that there will be no stars in their prime who are willing to join forces or assist James, even if he is James.

Leaving aside the fading Boston Celtics.

The Magic, which is younger than the Cavaliers, the Bobcats have already shown strong competitiveness.

Youth is a terrible force. In the next few years, the age structure of these two teams is too good. If they are allowed to grow and the Cavaliers are stagnant, then James will be the best in the league. Players are far from enough.

A team needs to win the championship, and both inside and outside lines need cores.

Compared to the Bobcats who raised the banner of offense.

It will be more important to fight against Warcraft and his magic. It is a pity that only O'Neal meets the conditions for the inside helper James needs.

Excellent insiders like Yao Ming, Duncan, Bynum and Stoudemire are not for sale for their respective teams.

The Cavaliers have no chance at all if they want to trade.

Except for these young centers, the most intimidating center in the league is none other than O'Neal.He played ideal data again last season and attracted no less attention than these youngsters.

Regardless of whether he can still play such ideal data this season, he is the best insider that the Cavaliers can introduce under the current conditions.

With his qualifications and abilities, the help he can bring to James cannot be underestimated.

More importantly, his ability to fight against Howard is obviously better than any current insider of the Cavaliers.

After all, O'Neal is not at his peak, so naturally he will not steal the limelight from James.

Previously, he had already assisted the young Dwyane Wade to reach the top of the league. Facts have proved that O'Neal can also become a qualified second-in-chief.

But what the Cavaliers must consider is whether his entertainment attitude and physical condition will bring negative effects to the team once O'Neal comes. After all, the transfer is not as simple as stacking on paper. help make it happen.

So far, although O'Neal has not played dominant data, but the first record in the league still makes the Cavaliers feel that it is worth the money.

"At a certain moment, O'Neal was still the same O'Neal."

Zhou Lin couldn't help but feel emotional.

O'Neill is definitely one of the talented monsters in history. With a weight close to 300 catties, he has been able to maintain excellent athletic ability. In addition, his inside skills are definitely underestimated. His touch is delicate and his steps are flexible. Even Dayao, who is technically skilled, needs to be admired. If O'Neal is slightly worse, it is his free throws.

Of course, the ability to make free throws will also become the most criticized technical link in O'Neal's life.

In fact, if O'Neal can be a little bit more diligent, yes, O'Neal is definitely not a training madman. He and Kobe are players with completely different personalities. This is one of the reasons why the 0K combination collapsed.

He only needed to give 80 percent of the effort of other players to dominate the league in those years, so he was not willing to give the other 20 percent.

So, you can see a O'Neill entertaining to death, spending a lot of time making records, making movies, doing some funny shows.

However, this is O'Neill.

Zhou Lin quickly woke up from his trance. Facing James, Zhou Lin completely lost the feeling of being oppressed in the past.

James' pressure on Zhou Lin has gradually weakened. Zhou Lin jumped high, shot with a soft touch, and steadily hit his first three-pointer of the game.

The Cavaliers wanted to make good use of the first quarter when O'Neal was in good physical condition. The 270-pound Hibbert basically couldn't hold the 320-pound O'Neal inside. He made a joke.

Because the jumping distance was a little farther, the dunk actually hit the front edge of the basket.

The ball bounced high and bounced off the sideline.

O'Neal, who has bullied the basket all his life, was also bullied by the basket. The force of the rebound caused him to fall to the ground, and then James helped to pull O'Neal up. James said: "Ahhhhhhhhh... Am I no longer able to dunk? It's such a sad thing."

And the commentator of the Bobcats team also said haha: "Shaq, Shaq, what's going on?"

You must know that O'Neal's jump height at his peak was about 80cm, but for O'Neal today, 60 is not bad.

However, O'Neill immediately showed what is called manual work.

O'Neal's touch in the paint area is absolutely top-notch in the league. Of course, he can't make a turnaround jumper like Yao Ming, but after he turns around, he can easily find the most suitable track to get to the basket.

"Young man, it's easy to tame you. It takes a long time for you to learn."

O'Neill, in turn, laughed at Hibbert again.

It's just that on the offensive end, O'Neal can still do whatever he wants with good physical fitness, but on the defensive end, the problem of foot movement also makes O'Neal exhausted. Whether it is Zhou Lin or Brandon Roy, as long as they are with Heber A special pick-and-roll, switching to O'Neal to switch defenses, that is a natural loophole.

It is true that when O'Neal was young, he could still feel a little overshadowed by the basket, but now, on the defensive end, it is an inevitable loophole.

Brandon Roy hit O'Neill twice in a row. O'Neill was also panting after him, and there were more beads of sweat on his forehead than usual.

The players of the Bobcats are also very clear that O'Neal is a player who is completely going downhill.

In the NBA, there is no sympathy. The strong prey on the weak. You are a majestic insider overlord, and now you have fallen. No one will sympathize with you, and even make a fuss about you crazily.

In addition to this point, running back and forth is also a kind of torture for O'Neill.

Although there was no foul crisis, the Cleveland Cavaliers still replaced O'Neal early when it reached 6 and a half minutes, and only played for 5 and a half minutes.

4 of 2, scored 5 points and 2 rebounds.

The team's starting inside line is a relatively normal time. Even Yao Ming basically has to play within 4 minutes of the first quarter. There are no special circumstances to start at the fifth position. Basically, it takes about 8-10 minutes.

This is something that Mike Brown has no choice but to do. O'Neal will become more and more tired if he continues to play like this.

It's just about to be used on the blade.

O'Neal's main playing time is still reserved for the second half, or the last quarter, and it is estimated that he will only play 3-5 minutes in the second quarter.

At that time, it will be enough to hammer those axes again.

Even if you want to risk your life, you must have the physical ability to risk your life.

Put on a big Z who is three years younger than O'Neill, but no less degraded than O'Neill.

Even though Ilkaskas will be 36 years old in half a year, the aging speed of white players is earlier than that of black players, especially the tall insiders like Big Z who are over 2.2 meters tall.

His knees, his ankles, the degree of aging, and even being completely over 40 years old, are basically a standard floor flow.

For O'Neal and Ilkeskas, the Bobcats boys in their early twenties will never be polite. Roy Hibbert, who suffered a lot from O'Neal, began to take Ilkaskas Out of anger, he used his upper body, which was much more generous than last season, to push away his opponents and then succeeded in dunking consecutively inside.

But today, James has a good touch. Sessions and Daniel Gibson on the outside also made consecutive hits today, especially Ramon Sessions, facing his old club today, he played very vigorously and made a goal in the first quarter Two three-pointers.

Relying on better outside shooting, the Cleveland Cavaliers scored 33-27 in the first quarter.

But the Bobcats' current bench depth is one of the most adequate teams in the Eastern Conference today.

David Lee was placed in the second team and became the main attacker in the second team. Although the data was slightly lower than that of the starting team, his shooting percentage and efficiency value increased steadily.

Larry Brown also has a choice when using the four insiders.

In the starting stage, Yi Jianlian + Roy Hibbert.

swap phase.

Usually David Lee + Roy Hibbert.

Or Chuck Hayes and Yi Jianlian.

It's a combination of one offense and one defense.

In the second quarter, the mixed combination of the Bobcats, Kyle Lowry + Brandon Roy + Zhou Lin + David Lee + Roy Hibbert, the offensive and defensive capabilities are even stronger than the starters, the Bobcats The team also took advantage of this stage and directly brought the score back.

Shaquille O'Neal took a break for about a whole quarter, until 5 minutes and 27 seconds into the second quarter, O'Neal appeared here.

It can be seen that Mike Brown is really cautious in using O'Neal.

O'Neal is like a gun with limited bullets. What Mike Brown needs to do is to keep O'Neal's bullets when they should be fired.

However, O'Neill seemed to be really suffocated.

When he was young, he wanted to rest more, but in the twilight of his career, O'Neal wanted to play more.

This play, O'Neill is very active request.

After O'Neal appeared on the stage, the person who topped O'Neal became Chuck Hayes.

This is not the first time that Hayes has hit O'Neal. Hayes and O'Neal just fought against each other in the Christmas game. Chuck Hayes, who has strong lower body strength, is like an old tree with roots.

For O'Neal, this is a player he hates. He is about 20 centimeters shorter than himself, so he shouldn't play inside at all.

'Oh, damn it, it hit my waist and eyes, it's really unspeakably uncomfortable. '

Chuck Hayes is like a stone pillar stuck in front of O'Neill, it keeps bumping and cannot be bent!
O'Neal turned around and dunked, as if he was going to compete with himself. He dunked once in the first quarter, but he didn't take it seriously.

He wanted to follow Hayes to dunk the ball in. Yes, Hayes in front of him was just a 'short' less than two meters long!

If it is placed in the peak period, even if the short inside defensive ceiling Ben Wallace is blocked in front, O'Neal can give him a little color.

But now, through Hayes, he dunked the ball away for the second time.

This time, O'Neal was not in the mood to make fun of himself last time, but looked at the basket not far above his head.

Am I too old to dunk?
There was a trace of sadness in O'Neill's eyes...
