NBA, Yao Ming is back!

Chapter 139 You're So Fierce, I Love It (Bonus Chapter~)

Kobe, on the other hand, thinks it's pretty good.

That fatso always acts like a tyrant in the team.

He always claims to be the biggest player on the team and the unbeatable low-post offensive player in the league.

No one can protect themselves.

Hakeem Olajuwon can't do it alone.

It's just that his team couldn't beat Hakeem Olajuwon's team.

In a one-on-one situation, he is invincible.

Given that no one had ever been able to contain O'Neal one-on-one before, this was a significant achievement.

So now that he's said such an arrogant thing, even if the little blacksmith is unhappy about it, he can't say anything.

This is the difference between the little blacksmith and Trish.

Even if I can't beat Xiao Cuixi, I still have to say something.

I don't have an MVP award or a championship ring, but I still want to comment on these two honors.

Moreover, he still wanted to comment from the perspective of a veteran player.

He did not do as well as the blacksmith in this respect. When you have nothing, you can only judge him as a fan, not as a veteran player.

Because you have neither an MVP nor a championship ring, you can't comment on either of those things as a player.

No wonder some people laugh at him.

They really don't understand this point.

So the little blacksmith is having a lot of fun here.

Now that's great, isn't it true that no one can stop you now?

Here's your three hats.

Let's see if you're still so arrogant.

Still so arrogant?

Uncle Shaq!

Hahahaha!

That's right, the so-called OK combination is often just a superficial friendship.

So from the very beginning, it was often made of plastic.

It's just that plastics came out earlier on this timeline.

Because O'Neal is playing poorly, the entire Lakers team is currently in a frustrating situation.

In the first quarter, Iverson led his team to a 20-5 score.

Yao Ming blocked O'Neal's three shots in a row, and this classic scene is still preserved in this timeline. O'Neal didn't recover for a long time.

I don't even know how to catch the ball.

It's mainly because he's used to using the same three tricks.

He's never been stopped by anyone in the NBA.

A fatal collision; if you can't withstand it, you'll be knocked aside and dunked.

Even if you manage to hold on, you'll enter a delayed or frozen state. At that moment, take advantage of the time difference so you can't jump and do a small hook.

Then, just occasionally add your own footwork.

The problem now is that this big guy doesn't seem to be able to handle my tactics. Even if he gets pushed aside, he can still use his super long wingspan to interfere with me at the last second.

So O'Neill hasn't gotten used to it yet.

"You know what, Larry Brown really is a defensive master, even better than a defensive guru."

"That's right, he really knows how to use people. He actually dared to use O'Neal to guard Yao Ming one-on-one, which was something I really didn't expect, and he succeeded. This really shows that he has a good judgment of players."

"That's precisely why we're in this situation now, isn't it?"

After Zhang Weiping finished speaking, Sun Zhengping, who was standing next to him, also realized a new truth.

So that's what basketball commentary is all about—creating suspense!

Got it, got it.

I've learned something new.

Sun Zhengping secretly made a note of it in his mental notebook.

Thinking that I would do the same next time.

"Sir, may I go on stage?"

Seeing that O'Neal hadn't scored much yet, Kobe felt very excited.

Unfortunately, he seems to have misjudged one thing: he's not the team's second-leading scorer yet. If O'Neal isn't scoring, then it's not his turn.

Lambis shook his head and said, "Don't rush. We're far behind right now, so don't rush onto the field."

"Oh." The little blacksmith looked a little disappointed.

Looking at my little hands, I always feel like I can't use them properly.

I can only sit on the sidelines and continue watching the game.

Kobe came on in the second quarter, but he is now the team's fourth scoring option.

He doesn't have much of a role in the offensive either; he can only pick up the scraps now.

Or play as a substitute or during garbage time.

Or just bully the weaker players.

When you lose a lot like this.

It wasn't a time when he had the right to make a move.

O'Neal has recovered somewhat now.

He stopped thinking about what Yao Ming had told him, about how the great white shark was dug out from somewhere, that damn thing.

He shook his big, fat head.

I feel like my brain isn't suited for thinking about these things.

He's not actually stupid, but he's not suited to playing basketball when he's thinking too much.

Moreover, there are too many obscure terms in this knowledge.

It can easily overload his brain's CPU.

After shaking off all that overload from your head.

O'Neal looked at Yao Ming.

It seems he has regained his ferocity.

He felt he had simply underestimated his opponent.

It's true that I underestimated my opponent. In my previous life, I was wrong to lose three times because I underestimated my opponent, and now I'm wrong to lose three times in a row because I underestimated my opponent.

Indeed, his scoring ability is constantly improving.

There's no reason to say it can be completely prevented.

Yao Ming still has obvious physical shortcomings.

So now is the time to truly begin the battle against O'Neal.

The previous attack simply caught him off guard.

"Give me that damn basketball!"

O'Neal let out a roar, which brought the other Lakers players back to their senses, and he returned to normal.

Once the team leader recovers, he will naturally pass the ball to him.

Eddie Jones originally intended to shoot for his younger brother Kobe, but when he saw O'Neal asking for the ball, he had no choice but to change his mind and pass the ball to him.

After all, he didn't have much right to refuse to pass the ball to O'Neal.

He claims to be an All-Star.

But he's an All-Star and Shaq is an All-Star.

The difference in influence within the Lakers is completely different.

Eddie Jones, the veteran player Kobe mentioned who was kind to him in the early days of the Lakers.

He's considered one of the team's nice guys.

Even when he saw his boss O'Neal's request, he quickly carried out the tactic.

Shaq got the ball again.

Come on, Fatty, let's continue.

Yao Ming knew that O'Neal would continue to play. He knew what kind of personality O'Neal had, and that it wasn't enough for him to just take a couple of shots.

He has a lot of experience dealing with O'Neal. If he weren't currently not skilled enough, he would be confident that he could make O'Neal suffer the whole game.

O'Neal certainly made adjustments. As the most destructive weapon in the paint, he was incredibly adept at dealing with these kinds of situations.

As the pass arrived, O'Neal suddenly exerted force with his feet, lowered his waist, and headed towards Yao Ming.

Having learned his lesson from being blocked three times in a row, he no longer rushed to jump and shoot immediately. Instead, he used his heavy body to firmly stick to Yao Ming and continued to use his body weight to press inward, gradually compressing the opponent's footing area.

When the distance is right, you can exert force to break your opponent's balance.

Because people need a foothold, if they stand in an unsuitable position, their balance can easily be broken.

O'Neal did a good job in this regard.

He has a strong sensitivity to confrontation.

It's not just about physical strength.

Yao Ming maintained a firm grip on his lower body, arms outstretched, ready to jump and block at any moment. But this time, O'Neal's exertion was gradual, each time first pressing against Yao Ming when he was about to lose momentum, slowly moving his body under the basket.

There's nothing I can do, I'm just too underweight. If I were a little heavier, that would be perfect.

This absolute weight difference left Yao Ming with absolutely no options.

Seeing that he had gained a positional advantage, O'Neal suddenly changed his rhythm and stopped fighting. He used a feint to lower his body, causing Yao Ming's center of gravity to shift slightly involuntarily. He immediately seized this fleeting opening and suddenly lowered his shoulder to exert force.

This time they really put in the effort, and by taking advantage of the time difference, they hit a perfect shot.

After knocking Yao Ming back, he immediately took to the air.

His thick right arm gripped the basketball and swung it high into the air.

Get ready for a powerful dunk.

Yao Ming quickly adjusted, immediately leaping up and extending his arm to block. However, the slight shift in his center of gravity was pushed back by O'Neal's buttocks by half a meter, which meant that Yao Ming's current wingspan could not fully cover the opponent's shooting trajectory.

O'Neal, taking advantage of his weight in mid-air, channeled all his power into his right arm and slammed his wrist down.

With a loud bang, the basketball smashed through the net.

The basketball hoop was pulled so hard it almost bent downwards.

It was as if it had been baptized by a tremendous force.

The net trembled violently as it was slammed into the basket.

The edge of the backboard was also shaking violently.

This is the famous Shaq dunk.

This dunk immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the Great Western Forum arena.

Cheers erupted immediately.

"That's more like it, Shaq!"

"That's how you should play!"

The fans at the scene got excited and started cheering for O'Neal.

After scoring the basket, O'Neal struck a Superman pose, then looked at Yao Ming and said, "See that? I am the Big Shaq! I am the Big Shaq!"

"Are you alright, Yao?"

Ratliff immediately came over to inquire, fearing that Yao Ming might have been injured by O'Neal's collision.

He'd tried it; this guy really goes all out when he rams people.

A young man who dared to go up and defend O'Neal one-on-one has already earned his respect enough.

"It's okay, it's alright, it's just that I'm too light, I can't quite handle it."

"There's nothing we can do about it. No one in the entire league can handle him. It's not your fault." Ratliff could only shake his head slightly upon hearing this.

Because this problem is indeed unsolvable by the alliance.

If it could be solved, O'Neal would have been contained long ago.

In fact, Yao Ming's lower body is quite stable. In his previous life, he was several tens of kilograms lighter than O'Neal, but he was still able to withstand it.

It's a pity that it's so much lighter now, but it's still a bit strenuous.

If he can regain the weight he had when he was drafted, he is now extremely confident that he can show Shaquille O'Neal what a big shark can do with just three tricks.

They encountered the same great white shark.

What kind of outcome will it be?

But thinking about these things now is useless, given the current situation.

I'm only 17 years old right now, so I don't have the good conditions for development.

So we had to think of other solutions.

After looking at it, Yao Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Let's try adding a skill to it ourselves.

Although it is now understood that these skills are actually modified according to one's own characteristics, meaning that the more one's physical condition is suitable for the performance of these skills, the easier it is to perform them, and even to achieve extraordinary results.

Therefore, it means that if the conditions are not suitable, forcibly stimulating release may result in a situation that is completely incompatible with the body's functions.

Because he had already seen these skills, and almost all of them were percentage-based increases.

In other words, if I were to forcibly copy O'Neal's skills now, the effect would likely be quite poor.

It completely lacked the domineering presence that O'Neal himself displayed.

For example, if someone with short arms tries to add skills like those of someone with long arms to block shots, the effect will be similarly poor.

I took a look at the skills of the people on the field.

Yao Ming thought for a moment, then decisively patted Ratliff on the shoulder.

He said thank you for the comfort, but in fact—

He copied Ratliff's skills [Sky Eagle Level 1 & 2] onto himself.

This time I was lucky. Among the three options of promotion, demotion, and remaining the same, there was no demotion or remaining the same, but rather a promotion to a higher level.

One of the skills described here is an active skill called [Eagle Falcon Returns to Hunt] (duration: three seconds).

The instant effect of activation is: it can immediately stop the perimeter defense and launch an explosive sprint back to the basket, with two blocking modes.

The first type is the chase-down block: When an offensive player goes for a layup or close-range dunk, Ratliff, positioned diagonally behind the ball handler, can use his long wingspan to block the shot from behind with a volley. This increases the success rate of layups, floaters, and blocks by an additional 3.3, and also provides a 10% increase in speed on the defensive end around the basket.

The second type is diagonal side help defense and blocking: When facing players like O'Neal who have a heavy low-post dunking style, the defense can only interfere diagonally when they get back in position, reducing the blocking effect of heavy dunks.

It's very difficult to forcefully dunk on someone from the front.

However, if the block is successful: you can slightly increase your speed upon landing, quickly get into position, and switch back to the perimeter to help defend.

However, if the chase fails and the opponent is hit: the player is stunned for 0.7 seconds upon landing, their movement speed decreases for 13 seconds for a short period of time, and they cannot float up and expand their defense again for a short time.

However, this is an effect skill applied to Ratliff.

When applied to Yao Ming, it becomes...

【Soaring Eagle - Level 3 Compatibility Version】

Active Skill [Falcon Returns to Hunt. Giant Overturns Basket (3-second duration)]

1—Chase-down block: For layups, close-range floaters have a block bonus of +3.8, the super long arm flash extends the blocking range, and the defensive speed can be increased by 12%.

With a powerful wingspan and quick recovery time, even if the ball handler has only a small amount of space to make a layup, they can still get a big block from behind.

2. Height-specific modification: When facing a low-post dunk, the block bonus can be increased to 10%.

With the advantage of body weight and vertical reach, you can jump directly to interfere with dunks, increasing your interference ability and making it less likely for you to be outmaneuvered.

After a successful block: the player accelerates slightly upon landing and can quickly rise to receive a long pass.

Points lost due to a failed block: The stun time is reduced by 0.4 seconds, and the movement speed is reduced by 9% for a short period of time. The chassis is solid and will not lose position significantly.

Hmm, not bad.

In this way.

It seems like there's an opportunity.

After all, how do you defend against O'Neal?

No one is more experienced than him.

He only needs to optimize based on his own experience.

There's no need to ask anyone.

Don't ask, the answer is no one understands Shaq better than me.

Yao Ming has accumulated years of experience playing against O'Neal, and he knows very well what O'Neal's low-post offensive tactics are.

Yao Ming even knows those little tricks that O'Neal hasn't mastered yet.

A high lob pass from the outside, a low post-up move with a powerful straddle, using weight to gradually grind into the paint, then a powerful dunk after gaining a foothold, or a direct shot under the basket to create a time difference, or a hook shot to finish the play.

Conventional positioning and stances make it extremely easy for his shield position to completely overwhelm the defensive line.

Now Yao Ming can rely on the speed boost from the three-star "Soaring Eagle" (a specific skill/mechanic). Instead of directly confronting opponents in place, he can decisively circle around and block them, using his super long wingspan and incredible vertical reach to cut off passing lanes.

This tactic was also used when facing O'Neal in the playoffs, and Yao Ming also used it to defend in front of O'Neal.

Of course there is.

He could use this method against O'Neal as well.

If others can beat him like this, he can beat O'Neal like this too.

Not to mention, his speed, rate, and agility are now on a completely different level than before.

With this skill added, I can finally get everything I want to do done.

I really wanted to set up a defensive trap like this in my past life.

However, he suffers from a lack of speed, wingspan, and shot-blocking ability.

He could only try to hold off O'Neal.

Now, finally, we have the opportunity to experiment.

After scoring a basket, O'Neal naturally had to continue playing in the next possession.

That's how you prove his strength.

Kobe reluctantly raised his hand on the wing and lobbed a pass to O'Neal in the low post.

Yao Ming's shot, however, went around to O'Neal's front beforehand.

"He went around to the front?" Larry Brown didn't expect Yao Ming, such a big guy, to choose to do that.

Not only did he not expect it, but neither did O'Neal.

Don't battles between giants usually involve head-on confrontations?

But if you do it this way, are you as agile as me, this big, fat guy?

But just as O'Neal finished thinking, he saw his feet stuck on the landing point.

A 2.37-meter-long arm stretches upwards.

Then, you can almost touch the rim while standing still and doing a high touch.

He raised his hand mid-air to intercept the pass.

Ah!

How did you manage to reach so high?

Unfortunately, the ball wasn't completely touched down and became a real ball.

O'Neal jumped to contest the ball but missed, and Yao Ming instead flicked the ball to the outside.

Thankfully, there was Milan's little blacksmith, Kobe Bryant, who miraculously saved the ball. He was about to go in himself when Shaq yelled at him again.

He roared, "Give me that damn ball!"

Poor number 8, he could only pass the ball back dejectedly once again.

She stood aside, looking aggrieved.

If there were a slow-motion replay, you would definitely see that the corners of this number 8's mouth are practically turned up to the sky.

Who knows what he's cursing in his heart?

Kobe's skill level was higher than everyone else's, even in terms of outsiders.

It just so happened that it bypassed Yao Ming's interference.

They put the ball in.

O'Neal was overjoyed when he got the ball.

He turned around and prepared to continue his attack into the box.

Yao Ming can now reach such a high height that he doesn't need to jump much at all. He just did a small jump that was almost tiptoeing, so he was able to land quickly and turn around.

This triggers the [Falcon Returns to Hunt. Giant Overturns Basket] event.

Quickly return to the original position and seal from the side and rear.

After the chase-down block bonus took effect, DaPao steadily pressed the button for a close-range shot.

Another big block on O'Neal.

After the basketball landed, it was knocked aside by Witherspoon's round, fleshy body.

He passed the ball to Iverson in front.

Iverson immediately made a fast break.

Unfortunately, Kobe Bryant's defensive transition was equally quick, or perhaps he was keeping a close eye on his fellow 96 draft classmate Allen Iverson.

Since he doesn't have much energy to vent on offense, he vents it on defense.

This is also a difference between the little blacksmith and Little Trish.

If Trish doesn't have many opportunities on offense, he won't put much effort into defense.

Iverson's forced layup was disrupted by Kobe.

After missing the shot, Kobe grabbed the rebound and prepared to go coast-to-coast.

He felt it was finally time for him to show his skills, and that it was reasonable for him to handle the ball he had defended himself.

I'm not passing this on no matter what —

"Give that damn ball to Uncle Shaq!"

Little Blacksmith:

The ball was still passed to them.

Yao Ming watched, then deliberately made a gesture as if he had failed to block the ball.

That fatso O'Neal thought Yao Ming had stumbled.

Thinking this was an opportunity, he quickly followed up with a powerful dunk by O'Neal.

Let everyone know that wherever Shaq is.

The team's basketball hoop will suffer.

Hurry up and deduct one!

It's a pity that his shot was ruined by the award-winning actor Yao Ming.

Yao Ming benefited from the increased speed in defending the basket.

Foot speed increases with skill amplification.

With years of scientific training, his movement speed, especially lateral movement, far surpasses his previous life's current level.

Or perhaps you never used this level of skill in your previous life.

Therefore, when combined, they quickly achieved a 1+1>2 effect.

The moment O'Neal bent down and lowered his center of gravity, Yao Ming immediately took a half step back and cut to his side and behind him.

Then, taking advantage of his arm span, he suddenly extended his giant hand from the diagonal rear.

O'Neal now feels like all he sees in front of him are basketball hoops.

It would be a disservice to myself not to deduct from this.

Then, as I pulled up for a powerful dunk, I felt the ball being held down by another hand.

Thankfully, it was a two-handed dunk.

The force was strong enough, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to maintain his balance in the air.

But although the money was deducted, it was all for naught.

Because the ball isn't here.

Instead, he simply clung to the air with both hands on the rim.

A snapping sound rang out behind his head.

"It's been covered again!!!"

"Is this the 4th or 5th already?!"

"Yao completely shut down O'Neal's offense!"

O'Neal: ? ? ?

No, didn't he just stumble forward a few times?

Didn't he fail to intercept the ball and his body lunge forward?

What exactly happened?

Can anyone tell me?

Fortunately, the blacksmith reacted quickly enough, or rather, his attention was always on O'Neal, thinking that if O'Neal couldn't score, he could pick up a few.

Sure enough, what you keep in mind will eventually come back to you.

After the ball was blocked, it was picked up by Kobe Bryant, who had been watching the area closely. He then rushed out, turned around, and pulled up for a three-pointer.

After the vote is cast, he has to shout something.

"Well done!"

"Oh, I misspoke, it should be 'good wording,' Shaq!"

However, as soon as Colby finished speaking, he was glared at by O'Neal.

He just felt that this guy really had no sense of humor.

Of course, O'Neal probably thought the same thing.

Moreover, both of them felt that the other was being petty.

Can you really cooperate with someone who is so petty?

Even though the three-point line has returned to its original distance this season, Kobe still maintains a 34.1% three-point shooting percentage.

He's already started using his ball-handling and contested three-pointers extensively.

That's very typical of Snail Games, to be honest.

When it was still a rookie contract, very few people dared to do that.

Iverson was assigned to guard the Blacksmith, which was actually a very bad decision, but you can't say there's anything wrong with it now, because on the surface—

The other two are the All-Star players.

This Kobe number 8 isn't him yet.

The voting hasn't even started yet this year.

So before this year's All-Star Game, Kobe was not an All-Star player, not even a candidate in the polls.

So naturally, they assigned Iverson to guard this Lakers perimeter player who seemed to have the weakest offensive firepower.

This is also a way to protect Iverson.

Eddie Jones and Van Exel.

Regardless of which of the two is on the field.

Those people are all much more powerful than this number 8.

So generally speaking, Larry Brown would have Iverson guard the weakest point.

Protect him.

That is to say, it is the weakest right now.

Larry Brown thinks he's like a mini-Kobe.

So they let Iverson match up against him.

Sure enough, my little hands give me strength.

My hands may be small, but my heart is big.

This is enough to make up for the lack of small hands.

And as he fought, it seemed he had grasped some kind of essence, but he was quickly interrupted—

Not long after, O'Neal asked for the ball again.

It wasn't his place to ponder it any further.

Unfortunately, O'Neal probably didn't know that through Yao Ming's previous encounters with the former, Yao Ming had already figured out all of O'Neal's offensive strategies.

Otherwise, think about it, is it possible to hold a peak Shaquille O'Neal to just a dozen points in a single series?

Can this end O'Neal's streak of scoring in double figures?

Could it be the only time Shaq, during his prime, scored a mere single-digit number of points to win a series?

This all demonstrates that Yao Ming has done extensive research on Shaquille O'Neal.

From shooting habits to some of his dribbling techniques, Yao Ming watched countless videos and games of Shaquille O'Neal to prepare for his matchup.

The Yao-Shaq rivalry was a major focus of the league's publicity back then.

If you don't want to die a horrible death, then you should definitely focus on studying it.

I never expected it to come in handy here.

In addition, Yao Ming has personally experienced numerous games against O'Neal.

He has his own unique experience.

For example, when O'Neal lands after receiving the ball, he always subconsciously taps the floor with the ball of his foot.

This is to allow myself to conserve energy.

Then, at this point, the shoulders will experience a brief downward movement.

These subtle details are usually interconnected.

You haven't observed or studied it carefully.

You can't tell at all.

Then, about half a second after these details, comes the rhythm point of his jump and powerful attack.

This is usually when he is at his strongest.

A head-on, close-quarters confrontation will only result in being completely suppressed by the opponent's shield.

Yao Ming is simply not strong enough to withstand a collision right now.

Then the only option is to use Ratliff's level 3 skill, "Soaring Eagle," to take advantage of the maneuverability it provides.

Yao Ming made up his mind to give up half a step first.

He proactively withdrew from the low post and positioned himself closely, allowing O'Neal to enter the receiving area first.

Then, when O'Neal is about to shoot, use the backcourt shot to block or disrupt the shot.

This is to avoid these high-intensity physical confrontations.

Kobe Bryant's pass was perfectly placed into Shaquille O'Neal's arms.

I wonder when O'Neal will realize that the person who truly passes him the ball properly is this guy.

number.

Yao Ming then took two steps back and moved directly toward the free throw line, clearly opening up the inside lane.

Seeing the defender retreat, O'Neal thought, "You finally couldn't hold on anymore."

It's time to replace them or find someone to help.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Watch my king-style dunk!

Just as Yao Ming had predicted, O'Neal charged straight into the paint, ready to dominate the three-second zone.

Then, as was his habit, he tapped the ground with one foot.

After his shoulders slumped slightly.

Prepare for attack.

This is exactly what Yao Ming himself summarized as the premonition of O'Neal's shot.

It doesn't matter whether others can understand it or not.

As long as he can understand it himself, that's fine.

Upon noticing the signature move, Yao Ming immediately triggered the passive skill of [Soaring Eagle] [Patrol and Return to Defense].

This instantly increased his turning speed.

At the same time, the active skill [Falcon Returns to Hunt. Giant Overturns Basket] is also activated.

He suddenly sprinted diagonally from below the free-throw line, moving forward to block the basket.

By the time O'Neal raised his hand to dunk, Yao Ming was already not far behind him. But under normal circumstances, this position would still be too far to block the shot.

Unfortunately, this is not a normal situation.

Because Yao Ming's wingspan is no longer normal.

If he still had that Tyrannosaurus Rex wingspan, there's really nothing that can be done. It's just a pity, his wingspan has now reached 2.37 meters.

Then rely on standing still to touch the basket.

You don't need to jump with full force.

You can accurately touch the surface of the ball with your palm.

It really only takes a little tiptoeing.

When O'Neal jumps to dunk, he has to rise from below into the air.

Just wait here.

Sure enough, after O'Neal got up, he bumped the basketball right into Yao Ming's outstretched hand.

Then Yao Ming exerted his strength, and O'Neal once again dunked on nothing.

The ball in his hand was swatted away.

Or perhaps O'Neal himself handed him the ball, which O'Neal then swatted away.

The fat man was caught off guard.

They watched helplessly as the points they were about to score were interrupted.

If O'Neal is really out of form this game, then forget it.

The main reason is that O'Neal is starting to feel like he's in good form.

I can forgive them for underestimating their opponents in the first few blocks.

The problem is that he wasn't so careless with his opponent later on.

Why was it still covered?

If you count them that way, this is the 6th one!

Yao Ming blocked Shaquille O'Neal's sixth offensive play in this game, marking the sixth offensive possession of the most destructive center of the 90s.

O'Neal felt his head buzzing.

"Shaq, let me tell you another little-known fact."

"Thresher sharks like to first let the sardines escape, then swoop in with their tails, turn around, and kill them!"

"Have you failed to learn?"

O'Neal: !!!

This is fucking amazing!

So, you want to kill someone and then destroy their spirit?

He's saying that he let me in on purpose.

And then you just wait to slaughter me, right?

Did he also call me a sardine?

Damn it, what the hell is that thresher shark?

While O'Neal was still in a daze, Yao Ming had already started to launch an attack.

Taking advantage of the Lakers' lack of interior players, he lobbed Iverson's ball into the air.

He grabbed the ball and dunked it into the basket.

Aerial relay.

No one can interfere with the Lakers now.

There wasn't one that strong, and there were very few that tall.

Gao is still in Philadelphia's backcourt.

After slamming it in, he punched the cameraman in the front row in Los Angeles in the chest and said:

I am Iron Man.

Oh no, I misspoke.

You've taken note.

I.

It's a great white shark!

O'Neal's offensive rhythm has been disrupted. He clearly had a chance to cut to the basket on the next play, but Yao Ming's help defense was a bit too far forward.

But he didn't know what he was thinking.

They actually looked back first, and only prepared to attack after confirming that Yao Ming was not there.

But looking at this, isn't it too late already?

After activating his skill, Yao Ming quickly retreated to the basket.

At the moment O'Neal released the shot.

It made him feel a gust of wind behind his head.

A sudden jolt.

A bad feeling arises.

Sure enough, although Yao Ming didn't block the shot, O'Neal managed to score with no one in front of him—

It's a triple miss.

They were probably scared.

He accelerated and released the ball ahead of time.

This situation might not be a big deal for some perimeter players who are in good form.

But for Shaquille O'Neal, whose touch has never been particularly soft—

It is indeed a huge test.

what?

Fortunately, Kobe Bryant, being the clever little devil he is, had already figured it out: Shaq probably wouldn't be able to make that shot again.

So, by keeping a close eye on O'Neal, he was always able to pick up the scraps.

He immediately pulled up for a shot after getting the ball.

That shot was more like a shrimp shot.

His shooting form was completely different from what he used later.

But the ball still went in.

Well, it's not working well for Shaq to beat this big guy from the East.

Then all I need to do is keep an eye on Shaq.

Take the ball from his blocked hand and then look for an opportunity to shoot.

This way, the ball is given to him.

That proves he can't score, that's why I shot.

Kill two birds with one stone.

He subconsciously wanted to say again, "Well done!"

When the Bulls looked at O'Neal, their eyes almost turned red.

The little blacksmith thought again.

Ouch.

Garlic bird, garlic bird.

I am not the kind of person who laughs at others.

Since our own great white shark can't talk, let's talk to other people's great white sharks!

The blacksmith turned to look at the Philadelphia team's Big Shaq, Yao Ming, and said softly, "Well played, Big Shaq."

"You're so fierce, but I like you so much."

"Try to build a few more, I'll secretly support you, haha."

When he finished speaking and went back to his room, he turned to Yao Ming and made a gesture of clenching his fist tightly.

You know what, number 8 really is.

That makes some sense, doesn't it?

It's clear he suffered a lot under O'Neal's tyranny.

But it's Shaq.

You'll have to get used to it.

Such days.

Because I joined the league early.

I'm afraid that things will be different in the future.

There's still a lot more.
