Lao Wang came to the low post on the left wing, carrying O'Neal with his left hand, and raised his right hand high to ask for the ball.
The ball came and after he caught the ball, O'Neal immediately followed him.
At this moment, he handed the ball to his left hand.
"Go to the bottom!"
O'Neal, who had just come up, felt his heart tighten.
At this moment, Lao Wang suddenly looked to the right, and with the movement of his head, he waved his arms and twisted his waist and abdomen.
At the moment of turning around, all the muscle groups in the lower limbs were trembling at high frequencies.
In the next moment, with his right foot as the axis, his left foot took a quick step forward as he turned around. After switching his center of gravity, he stepped into the paint area.
The integration of Xiongbu into the low post did not improve his speed quality, but gave him a faster turning speed and a faster first step.
It's just that sometimes talent determines everything.
O'Neal was so talented and reacted so quickly. He took half a step back with his right foot and blocked Wang Tiejun's path. As long as he followed up with his left foot and completed his position, it was a beautiful defense.
But at this moment, Wang Tiejun's bear step unfolded, his right foot moved forward, his back foot turned into a front foot, and he stepped in front of O'Neal's right foot.
In the next moment, both feet stepped down, and while the waist and abdomen were twisted, the six forces merged into one, and the iron mountain was moved by force.
The bear step is integrated into the low-position pace, making quick and short progress, and can switch between moving and relying on the attack at will. This is the reason why the system chooses synthesis.
So when O'Neal blocked the way, Wang Tiejun immediately turned his movement into a rely-on attack, and it was a rely-on attack with sufficient range to exert force.
"Bang!"
A heavy impact occurred.
"Well!"
The big shark grunted, and as he was not yet firmly on his feet, he staggered backwards for two short steps and fell down suddenly.
Under the huge reaction force, Lao Wang paused on the spot and dropped the ball. Fortunately, it didn't run far. He stepped forward and grabbed the ball in his hand. He stepped forward from O'Neal and smashed it with one hand.
basket.
Magic power forward Tom Boltot returned to defend the basket. Although he was only 201 centimeters and 107 kilograms, he had a fierce personality. Looking at Lao Wang who was flying like a giant beast, he jumped up and blocked the shot with all his strength.
"Bang!"
With one blow, the Magic Basket exploded.
"Well!"
Tombolt groaned and was knocked over in the air, hitting the floor. He couldn't get up for a while.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded.
"boom!"
The whole audience stood up and cheered. Almost all the home fans stood up. The atmosphere at the home court instantly erupted and became hot. The buzzing noise made everyone's ears turn into decorations.
"Well done, old K! You are the best rookie in 1993!" Barkley roared excitedly in the audience.
Okay, he doesn't believe this himself, but now is not the time to use reason and brains.
"Big sewer, are you clogged? Who clogged you? Was it my basket or was it caused by me knocking you over?"
Lao Wang sprayed wildly at O'Neal who was getting up.
"Hoo ho ho..."
O'Neal gasped for breath. He couldn't hear anything, but he was very angry because he was knocked over again.
"Get out of here, I'll wash you away, you piece of shit!" He pushed Lao Wang's chest hard.
"Did you see it? This is Old K's low post play, but now he combines it with low post moves to make his low post play even stronger."
In the ABC live broadcast booth, Ilanton shouted excitedly.
"I only saw O'Neal being knocked over again. He was knocked over when he was 125 kilograms. Now he is 128 or 130 kilograms, and he was knocked over again. So how powerful is the strength of the old K? Who can stop him?
"
Gomez shouted with great excitement.
Elandon continued: "The Magic are a bit similar to the Suns, that is, they have one senior and four juniors. Except for O'Neal, among the five starters, only Tom Boltot has reached a height of two meters, and the others are below two meters.
And Barkley is not here, and the fourth position is full of role players, so today it is a battle between two giant beasts in the low post. They have to decide the winner on their own, and no one can help them."
At this time Lao Wang made a free throw.
"I bet you can't hit it." O'Neal looked at Lao Wang with contempt and shouted.
"My free throw percentage is 53.2%, and yours is 59.1%. We are both scumbags, but you really have no right to laugh at me, because your free throw percentage is indeed higher than mine."
Admission is admission, but the contempt on Lao Wang's face is visible to the naked eye.
"Pfft! Haha..."
Everyone on the two teams preparing to grab rebounds burst into laughter.
"..."
O'Neill opened his mouth and turned his head away in anger.
"Whoa!"
Lao Wang threw the ball and hit the basket.
At any rate, his shooting level has reached level 75. Although he is still very bad, his free throw ability has improved a bit. He estimates that he can reach over 60%. If he is lucky, it is possible to reach 65%.
"Haha! Fatty, you lose!"
While retreating, Lao Wang smiled strangely at O'Neal.
"I'll hit you to death later!"
O'Neal was furious in his heart. He wanted to teach Old K a lesson today. He wanted revenge. He would not slip away, just hit him. He would use Old K's strongest method to defeat him, and then give him a dunk in return.
"Here we come, another battle between the two giant beasts begins." Letem shouted.
In the Magic's frontcourt, O'Neal came to the low post on the left wing, and Lao Wang stepped up.
"Bang bang bang..."
After three consecutive blows, O'Neal became more ferocious and used all his strength, each time stronger and stronger. Blood spurted out of Wang Tiejun's throat and his chest was heaving like a blower.
"What a pervert, too strong!"
O'Neal's explosive power was so powerful that it seemed more powerful than the first time he played against him. After three collisions, he quickly retreated to the basket, feeling as if he was contending with a bulldozer.
"Come on, O'Neal!"
But fortunately, this time he was not knocked over. He used all his strength and did not fall down.
"Old K, I'm going to kill you!"
Out of breath, O'Neal began to play four-on-one for the first time. He had already thought about it. This time, he would knock the nasty old K into the basket, and then dunk him, completing the great shark's revenge.
"..."
All the Suns fans in the audience, and all the fans in the United States who were watching this game, were dumbfounded. It was the first time they saw two giant beasts engaging in such a fierce confrontation. The adrenaline in their bodies was gushing crazily, and their eyes were red.
.
"Hold on, old K, you are the conqueror Caesar, you must not fall!"
"Shark, knock him over! You are the strongest low-post Big Mac!"
In the ABC live broadcast booth, Gomez and Ilanton shouted excitedly.
"Old K, hold on!"
In the audience, Buckley stood up nervously, raised his fists and roared.
"withstand!"
The surrounding fans followed suit and roared.
"Bang!"
Like a huge wave hitting the shore, the big shark's fourth attack came as expected and hit Wang Tiejun hard on the chest.
No, it should be said that Wang Tiejun took the initiative and hit the big shark's left shoulder and back with his left shoulder and chest.
"Well!"
The instant impact gave him the urge to vomit blood, and he staggered back to the basket. O'Neal's impact was too powerful.
After barely standing still, he immediately started his bear step, stepped forward, and climbed up again.
No, it's leaning up.
This time, he had to rely on fighting before O'Neal started.
"Success!"
After playing with all his strength for four consecutive times, O'Neal's physical fitness also evaporated a lot in a short period of time. He felt empty, but he finally knocked Old K into the basket. His spirit was extremely high, and his adrenaline was like a Yangtze River.
It usually rolls endlessly.
"Go to hell!"
He held the ball in both hands and turned around. The next moment, he would take off and dunk on Old K.
But just when he turned around, his vision suddenly went dark, and Wang Tiejun's hateful big face jumped in front of his eyes, startling him.
"Oops!"
At this time, his right foot is stepping forward, and his center of gravity is moving.
"Bang!"
The two collided head-on, and the heavy impact made the people around them feel their teeth ache and made the fans at the scene jump.
"Well!"
O'Neal, who was supporting his body on one foot and whose center of gravity was unstable, groaned, leaned back, and fell with a bang, and the ball rolled to the side.
"Well!"
Wang Tiejun also groaned and took a big step back, almost not falling over.
"..."
The referee's mouth bulged, but he closed his mouth again.
He kept staring at the two of them and saw clearly that O'Neal was moving, but when Old K hit the ball, his feet were already in a defensive position, so the ball could not be called a blocking foul.
This is the beauty of the bear step. It is not a step, but a step close to the ground. The front foot steps forward and the back foot quickly follows up. The stride is very small. The so-called short and rapid progress is both fast and stable, so it can be the first to hit you.
If you go into position slowly, you may be called for a blocking foul.
"Ouch!"
The collision of behemoths determined the outcome. The Suns bench and fans in the audience stood up excitedly, waving their fists and shouting endlessly. The decibels of the American West Arena reached the sky, and the buzzing noise was deafening.
"ah!"
Among them, the extremely excited Barkley waved his fists and screamed.
"Oh, God, Old K's defense was so fierce! He was in danger of dying! Several of his ribs may have been broken, and there is no way the ribs could have blocked the collision of the shoulder blades."
"O'Neal thought that he could dunk after knocking Old K into the basket, but he was wrong. Old K has not given up yet. His defense is still there, and he is even more fierce and proactive. This is Old K!"
In the ABC live broadcast booth, the two commentators kept shouting excitedly.
The game was still going on, Dan Malley rushed down and picked up the ball first, and then launched a fast break.
The other eight players from both teams rushed towards the Suns' frontcourt, leaving only two panting beasts in the backcourt.
"Hahahaha...haha!"
The panting Wang laughed when he saw Kevin Johnson succeeding in a pull-up jumper.
"Damn it!"
O'Neal, who was sitting on the floor panting, was so angry that he smashed his hand on the floor, glared at Lao Wang unwillingly and shouted: "Come back next time."
However, after the initial wave of consumption, the two of them lost too much physical energy in a short period of time and needed to recover, so they did not play very actively next.
In the 5th minute, at 6:12, the Suns were already 6 points ahead and the Magic called a timeout.
Magic coach Matt Guoest looked up at O'Neal and shouted in a low voice: "Shaq, don't fight with Old K. You are our number one scoring point. You have to play to your strengths and don't waste your precious physical energy.
For him, that's not worth it.
He is a blue-collar worker, and you are the No. 1 pick and our core inside line. You have a hundred ways to defeat him. You can score on him at will. You have to reduce the confrontation with him and don't do anything meaningless.
confrontation."
A trace of anger appeared on O'Neal's face. He wanted to yell at the guy below, "Fuck you, I just want to dunk him. Although I am the Black Prince, I want revenge."
After the timeout, O'Neal and Wang Tiejun both sat on the bench.
Two minutes later, after a dead ball, both players were replaced by the head coaches of both teams.
"Come again!"
When he came on the court, O'Neal yelled at Lao Wang.
"mock up!"
Lao Wang said disdainfully.
Next, the two began to compete in the low position again.
After all, O'Neal was a young rookie and did not dare to resist the coach's orders. In the fierce confrontation, he began to use his flexibility, movement speed, and powerful explosive power to crush Lao Wang on the offensive end.
"Whoa!"
After two hits, the shark squeezed into the paint. With his back to Lao Wang, he took the ball with both hands and swung it from side to side. The shark turned around, stepped forward and completed a dunk.
"You beat me around again, you idiot, even the big rats on the streets of New York are not as agile as you." Lao Wang, who was shaken, muttered helplessly.
Looking back, he relied on the hit and then hooked, but failed to hit.
"Bang!"
Two minutes later, there was another dunk from behind. O'Neal had already scored his 6th point in the first quarter, and also caused a foul on Jerod Mustav who was defending the basket.
Looking back, Wang Tiejun relied on beating O'Neal, or used Xiongbu to switch between movement and relying on fighting at will. He first mobilized O'Neal with a slide, and then immediately switched to relying on fighting, knocking O'Neal back, but this time he did not knock him over.
The opponent, so he could not successfully attack the basket, and finally hit a hook two meters away from the basket.
One minute later, O'Neal caused a foul on Lao Wang and made 1 of 2 free throws.
Looking back, under O'Neal's strong defense, Lao Wang missed the hook again.
Before the end of the first quarter, O'Neal missed a hook shot near the basket. In a total of 10 minutes, he made 3 of 4 shots and 1 of 3 free throws. He scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 foul.
Wang Tiejun, in the same 10 minutes of playing time, made 2 of 4 shots, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 foul.
This data is much better than the first time he faced O'Neal.
Of course, this is also because he takes more shots now. The first time he played O'Neal, he almost didn't get a pass. At that time, he was just a short-term worker for the Suns.
However, facing O'Neal's defense, he felt that it was more difficult than playing against David Robinson and Dameng, and it was more difficult to score. One of three hook shots from close range was very inefficient.
At this time, because his strength had a weak advantage when facing O'Neal, even if he had an iron mountain to back him up, O'Neal also had terrifying explosive power, and he would not be able to take any advantage in the confrontation.
When playing against Dameng and Robinson, his relying on the ball can buy him some space to take shots, and his near-basket hook shot rate is higher, which can reach more than 40%.
In addition, there is another important reason that restricts his offensive efficiency, which is his poor ball control ability, which is only level 60.
To put it simply, when he is attacking and in fierce confrontations, he cannot integrate the man and the ball. He often loses control of the ball. Although he can regain control of the ball many times, time is wasted and the offensive opportunity is gone.
He has decided that after redeeming the flexibility training cards after the end of this month, if he still has points, he will optimize his ball-handling skills.
On the defensive end, he still can't guard against the extremely flexible big fat man. There's nothing to say about this. His mobility and agility are very different. On the defensive end, he is just a human shield.
The pattern of the next three quarters was similar to the second half of the first quarter. O'Neal always used his explosive talent to crush Comrade Lao Wang on the offensive end, and on the defensive end, he also had enough strength and tonnage to prevent Lao Wang from getting
An easy shot.
Not to mention the result of the game, even without Barkley, the Suns finally beat the Magic by 15 points, which was considered a big victory.
In 38 minutes, O'Neal made 9 of 17 shots and 4 of 8 free throws. He scored 22 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 1 turnover and 3 fouls.
Wang Tiejun also played 38 minutes, making 7 of 15 shots, a 50% hit rate, including 3 of 8 short-range hook shots, and less than 40% of a two-point shot. In addition, he made 5 of 8 free throws, scoring 19 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.
Data of 1 block, 1 turnover and 4 fouls.
In the ABC live broadcast booth, Gomez made a post-game summary and said: "O'Neal's shooting percentage reached 53%, which is lower than his current average of 59.2% per game. This shows that Old K's defense has a certain effect.
But it's not enough. The shooting rate of 53% is already very good. This shows that once the Shark stops fighting with Old K, he can show his powerful offensive talent."
Elanton continued: "In the same period of time, Old K's scoring and rebounding were not as good as O'Neal's, and his 50% shooting percentage was also lower than O'Neal's. This shows that his strength is indeed not as good as O'Neal's, and his performance on both ends of the offense and defense is not as good as O'Neal's.
.”
"but……"
He continued: "Compared with the first regular season game between the Magic and the Suns, Old K's performance has improved tremendously. When he faced O'Neal for the first time, he seemed to have scored 3 points, right? But tonight he
Got 18 points.
Of course, he still needs more improvement to compete with O'Neal, especially his close-range attack ability. His efficiency is not as good as O'Neal, which is the main reason why his performance lags behind O'Neal."
Gomez smiled and said: "In the final analysis, it is still due to talent. His wrist is thicker than O'Neal and his shooting ability is worse, so his near-basket offense is not as good as O'Neal."
"But his free throw percentage today reached 62.5%, even better than O'Neal." Ilanton said.
"Maybe, um, it's because his shooting skills are better? You know O'Neal's talent is so good, he may not care much about basic skills. Talent can solve all problems." Gomez laughed.
He was somewhat right. Wang Tiejun's basic shooting skills are indeed good, but the reason why his shooting accuracy has been lost is not only because of his thick wrist, but also the main reason is that his body has grown rapidly in the past two years and his physique has changed too much.
Then this critical period of growth and development completely ignores basketball and physical training. How can it be accurate?
After an optimization, Wang Tiejun's basic shooting skills have returned to level 75, and he has regained some accuracy. But in fact, his shooting was much more accurate two years ago than now, and his basic skills are definitely above level 85. In other words, after optimization, he has not yet
Return to previous level.
Dan Marley scored 32 points in this game and became the best player in the game in the absence of Barkley.
However, rookie small forward Richard Dumas also performed exceptionally. In the first opportunity he finally got, he scored 26 points and hit 46% from the field. His performance was not inferior to that of Lao Wang.
Dumas showed stronger scoring ability in the competition with Ceballos.
This season, he averaged 13 points per game as a substitute small forward, while Ceballos, the main small forward, only had 10 points.
On the defensive end, Dumas also performed better, averaging 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, while Ceballos only averaged 0.3 steals and 0.1 blocks per game.
In fact, head coach Westphal prefers Dumas, but the scoring ability of the starting lineup is too strong and Dumas's scoring ability is not needed. This is why Dumas has a stronger scoring ability, but can only enter.
The main reason for the substitute lineup is because he can play a greater role in the substitute lineup, but is just a useless piece in the main lineup.
