against the front

Chapter 61 Surprise
"Rookie, today you will feel what the real NBA is, get ready to enjoy it all!" When the referee standing next to Yan Hua and O'Neal put his whistle in his mouth, and was about to blow the whistle to start the game , O'Neill, who was ready for the jump ball, looked at Yan Hua, who was also ready for the jump ball, with a look of contempt.

"Old bird, this is not your era anymore, you should retire." Although he was still very afraid of O'Neill in his heart, Yan Hua always remembered what Kwame Brown said to him, whether it was Whoever provokes you must respond bravely to him, to hate him, no matter what the result is, you must not lose in momentum, and let your opponent know that you are not a soft persimmon to be squeezed.

"Having character, I like it." Hearing Yan Hua's irony, instead of becoming angry, O'Neill showed a look of admiration, because O'Neill vaguely saw the shadow of himself from this rookie. Like Jason Sampson, the rookie of the Suns, he accepts everything he encounters. It is difficult for a good old man to gain a foothold in this league.

After O'Neal entered the NBA that year, he opened up map guns wildly. Whether he met the big dream Olajuwon, or David Robinson and Patrick Ewing, O'Neal didn't take these seniors seriously, and he was outspoken It means that they are old, and they will be swept into the garbage of history by themselves. Although O'Neal was repaired by the above-mentioned players in that season, O'Neal made a comeback in the following season. The big center has become a big four center, so when Yan Hua said to O'Neill that you are old, O'Neill recalled the scene when he faced the three big centers for the first time. Mind being like myself when the three major centers repaired the rookie, in today's game, repairing the rookie in front of me can be regarded as a lesson for him, and it can be regarded as a special inheritance among the centers.

Yan Hua, who is 2 meters tall and weighs only 14 kilograms, is a bit skinny in the basket full of muscular sticks. What's more, he is about the same height as the person standing in front of Yan Hua now, but his weight is about the same. O'Neal weighed 103 kilograms, so when the whistle sounded for the start of the game, Yan Hua and O'Neal jumped almost at the same time to compete for the basketball thrown overhead by the referee, Tyrone Corbin, who was standing on the sidelines, closed his eyes directly, unable to bear After watching it, Tyrone Corbin was afraid that when Yan Hua collided with O'Neal, he would be directly smashed by O'Neal.

Although O'Neill is full of fighting spirit and wants to teach Yan Hua a lesson, but O'Neal, who is now 36 years old and weighs more than 300 catties, is no longer the flexible and fat man who can run and jump, so in the opening jump ball , O'Neal lost to Yan Hua without any surprise.

After Yan Hua won the jump ball, Benno Udrih quickly moved forward with the ball, and when he was about to reach the top of the arc, Benno Udrih passed the basketball in his hand to John Salmon Although Benno Udry is the king's official point guard, due to his limited organizational ability and general control of the overall situation, the king's offense is basically initiated by John Salmons. of.

"Fvck, little bastard!" O'Neal, who had already retreated to the basket, immediately stopped after seeing Yan Hua advancing near the free throw line, and cursed at Yan Hua who was not far away. At the beginning, I hated the pick-and-roll very much, because in O'Neill's view, the pick-and-roll tactic is not played by men at all. As O'Neal's weight became heavier and his athletic ability became worse, O'Neal hated the pick-and-roll even more. Jazz Shuangsha is simply O'Neal's nightmare, so after seeing Yan Hua standing near the free throw line, O'Neal knew that the Kings were going to use the pick-and-roll to deal with him.

Looking at Yan Hua standing near the free throw line, O'Neill is really in a dilemma. Don't follow him. This guy just stands there alone. There is no defensive player within two meters. Follow him. You know the opponent Will pull out to pick and roll, and run out to slip legs, isn't it stupid?
Just when O'Neal was in a dilemma, he suddenly remembered the head coach Terry Porter. Before the game started, he analyzed Yan Huashi's situation in front of all the Kings players in the locker room. Yan Hua's analysis made O'Neill very upset, and even felt that Terry Porter was alluding to himself, but when he thought of Terry Porter's analysis of Yan Hua, O'Neill made a decision with peace of mind.

"This rookie is best at low-post offense and low-post defense. He is thin but has a lot of strength. He is also very good at judging the placement of rebounds. His high-post support ability is also above the standard. Shooting, this is a guy who can’t play when he leaves the three-meter range of the basket, so after he leaves the four-meter range of the basket, we can properly relax our defense against him.”

"Well, that's it." After thinking of the head coach's analysis of Yan Hua, O'Neill no longer struggled with the idea of ​​pulling out to defend Yan Hua, and moved two steps above the free throw line. Hua stopped two meters away, not only that, but O'Neill also used to provoke Yan Hua, and you can shoot at that place if you have the ability.

And John Salmons, who received a pass from Benno Udrih on the left side of the three-point line, tried several times but couldn't get rid of Raja Bell who was defending him, and moved towards the top of the arc. Moving, while making a pick-and-roll gesture towards Yan Hua near the free throw line.

However, after the pick-and-roll ended, John Salmons, who had just adjusted his shooting posture, found that Raja Bell, who had been blocked by Yan Hua just now, had bypassed Yan Hua and stuck him again. John Salmons had no choice but to give up his plan to make a shot and passed the basketball to Yan Hua who was closest to him.

"Shoot, rookie."

When Yan Hua received a pass from John Salmons below the top of the arc and above the free throw line, all the other players on the field focused on Yan Hua, but there was no one from the Suns to make up for it. Yan Hua defended the wide open position, and O'Neill, who was three meters away from Yan Hua, even made a quick shot gesture towards Yan Hua.

"This kind of scene is really embarrassing." Looking at Yan Hua who was open to catch the ball, there was no one three meters in front of him, but no defensive player came to defend him. Kenny Smithson on the commentary also had a look of expectation. Looking at Yan Hua holding the basketball, let's see if this rookie really doesn't have a mid-range shot. If Yan Hua proves that he really doesn't have a mid-range shot in this game, it is estimated that this little guy will experience it in future games. There is a lot of malice from this alliance.

"You underestimate me!" Originally, Yan Hua didn't intend to make a move after receiving the pass from John Salmons, but seeing O'Neal's face that was about to be extremely cheap, Yan Hua After a little adjustment, he threw the basketball in his hand. Although Yan Hua swiped the basketball several times on the edge of the basket before falling into the basket, no matter how you say it was a goal, look Wake up, the hard training last night still has a certain effect.

　Thank you for the reward I want to wake up the world, thank you.
