Chapter 120 Caesar the Conqueror

"ball!"

  Pharaoh came to the low position on the left wing, carried O'Neal in his left hand, and raised his right hand for the ball.

  The ball came, and after he caught it, O'Neal posted it immediately.

   Just then, he handed the ball to his left hand.

   "Go to the bottom!"

   O'Neal, who had just posted it, tensed in his heart.

   At this moment, Lao Wang suddenly looked to the right, and with the drive of his head, he waved his arms and twisted his waist and abdomen.

At the moment when    turned around, all the muscle groups in the lower limbs were in high frequency tremors.

   In the next moment, with the right foot as the axis, the left foot quickly took a step forward with the turn, the center of gravity was changed, and the foot stepped into the paint area.

The    bear step was integrated into the low post pace, which did not improve his speed quality, but gave him faster turning speed and first step start speed.

  Just, sometimes talent decides everything.

  O'Neal is too talented and reacts too fast. He took half a step back with his right foot, and blocked Wang Tiejun's way to the bottom. As long as his left heel is on his left heel and he completes the stance, it is a beautiful defense.

   But at this moment, Wang Tiejun's bear step unfolded, his right foot stepped forward, his back foot turned into his front foot, and one foot stepped in front of O'Neal's right foot.

   In the next moment, the feet slammed down, the waist and abdomen twisted, the six forces were unified, and Tieshan relied on the movement.

  The bear step is integrated into the low-position step, and the quick and short advance can be switched between moving and hitting at will. This is the reason why the system chooses to synthesize.

   So when O'Neal blocked the way, Wang Tiejun immediately turned the movement into a kick, and it was a kick with a sufficient power distance.

   "Boom!"

   A heavy crash occurs.

"Uh!"

  The big shark grunted, and he, who was not stable on his footing, staggered back two small steps under this lean, and fell down with a bang.

Under the huge reaction force, Pharaoh also paused for a while, the ball also fell, but fortunately did not run far, he took a step forward to grab the ball in his hand, strode up from O'Neal's side, and smashed it with one hand. basket.

   Magic power forward Tom Poltot returned to defend the basket. Although he was only 201 cm and 107 kg, he had a fierce temperament.

"boom!"

   Under one blow, the magic basket was exploded.

"Uh!"

  Tom Poltot groaned and was knocked over in the air and hit the floor, unable to get up for a while.

   "Di!"

   The referee's whistle blew.

   "Boom!"

  The audience stood up and cheered. Almost all the home fans stood up. The atmosphere at the home broke out instantly and became hot. The buzzing noise made everyone's ears become decorations.

   "Good job, old K! You are the best rookie in 1993!" Barkley roared excitedly in the audience.

   Well, he doesn't believe it himself, but now is not the time for reason and brains.

   "Big sewer, are you blocked? Who blocked you? Was it my basket or was it caused by you being blown over by me?"

   Old Wang sprayed furiously at O'Neal who got up.

   "Hoohooho..."

   O'Neal gasped. He couldn't hear anything, but he was furious because he was knocked over again.

   "Go away, I'll flush you away, you poop!" He shoved Old Wang's chest sharply.

   "See? This is the old K's low post play, but now he combines the low post pace movement to make his post post play stronger."

  In the ABC live booth, Elanton exclaimed excitedly.

"I only saw that O'Neal was knocked over again. He was knocked over when he was 125 kilograms. Now he is 128 kilograms or 130 kilograms, and he was knocked over again. So how powerful is old K's hitting force? Who can stop him? "

   Gomez roared with great excitement.

  Elanton continued: "Magic is similar to the Sun in one point, that is, one big and four small. Except for O'Neal, of the five starters, only Tom Portot reached a height of two meters, and the others were all below two meters.

  And Barkley is not there, the 4 is a role player, so today in the low post is a contest between two behemoths, they have to decide on their own, and no one can help them. "

   At this time, Pharaoh made a free throw.

   "I bet you can't hit it." O'Neal looked at Pharaoh with contempt and shouted.

   "My free throw percentage is 53.2%, yours is 59.1%, we are both scumbags, but you do have the right to laugh at me because your free throw percentage is indeed higher than mine."

   admitting is admitting, but the contempt on Old Wang's face is visible to the naked eye.

   "Pfft! Haha..."

   The two teams who were going to rebound were all laughing.

  “…”

  O'Neal opened his mouth and turned his head in anger.

   "Sigh!"

  Pharaoh threw the ball and smashed into the basket.

   Anyway, his shooting rating has reached 75. Although he is still very scumbag, his free throw ability has improved a little.

   "Haha! Fatty, you lost!"

   While retreating, Pharaoh laughed strangely at O'Neal.

   "Wait and kill you!"

  O'Neal felt ruthless in his heart. Today, he wants to teach old K a lesson. He wants revenge. If he doesn't slip, he will hit him.

   "Come on, another battle between the two giant beasts has begun." Latham shouted.

   Magic's frontcourt, O'Neal came to the low left wing, and Pharaoh stepped up.

   "Boom bang bang..."

   After hitting him three times in a row, O'Neal became ruthless, and he used all his strength. Each time he was stronger than each time, he hit Wang Tiejun's throat with blood, and his chest was heaving like a blower.

   "Dead pervert, too strong!"

  O'Neal's explosiveness was so powerful that he seemed more powerful than the first time he played against him. After three collisions, he quickly retreated to the basket, and it felt as if he was fighting a bulldozer.

   "Come on, O'Neal!"

   But fortunately, this time he was not knocked over, he exploded with all his strength and did not fall down.

   "Old K, I'm going to kill you!"

   The panting O'Neal started his fourth back-up. He had already thought about it. This time, he would hit the hateful old K into the basket, and then dunk him to complete the great shark revenge.

  “…”

All the Suns fans in the stadium, the fans all over the United States who are watching this game, are dumbfounded. It is the first time they have seen such a fierce confrontation between two giant beasts. The adrenaline in their bodies is gushing frantically and their eyes are red .

   "Hold up, old K, you are Caesar the conqueror, you must not fall!"

   "Shark, knock him over! You are the strongest low-ranking Big Mac!"

   In the ABC live booth, Gomez and Elanton roared excitedly.

   "Old K, hold on!"

   In the audience, Barkley stood up nervously, raising his fists and roaring.

   "Hold up!"

  The surrounding fans followed and roared.

   "Boom!"

  Like a huge wave hitting the shore, the big shark's fourth hit came as scheduled, and slammed into Wang Tiejun's chest.

  No, it should be said that Wang Tiejun took the initiative to hit the big shark's left shoulder with his left shoulder and chest.

"Uh!"

The    instant impact made him have the urge to vomit blood, and he also stumbled back under his feet and retreated to the basket. O'Neal's impact was too powerful.

After    reluctantly stood still, he immediately started to bear stride, stepped down, and posted it again.

  No, it is relying on it.

   This time, he has to rely on the fight before O'Neal can activate it.

   "Success!"

Relying on four consecutive hits, O'Neal's physical strength also evaporated a lot in a short period of time, there is a feeling of emptiness, but he finally hit the old K into the basket, his spirit is extremely high, adrenaline is like the Yangtze River Generally surging.

"go to hell!"

   He turned around with the ball in both hands, and the next moment, he would take off and dunk the old K.

   But just as he turned around, his eyes turned dark, and Wang Tiejun's abominable big face rushed in front of him, startling him.

"Oops!"

   At this point, his right foot is stepping forward, and his center of gravity is moving.

   "Boom!"

   The two collided head-on, and the heavy impact made the people around them feel their teeth sour, and the eyelids of the fans at the scene jumped.

"Uh!"

   Supporting his body with one foot, O'Neal, whose center of gravity was unstable, groaned, leaned back, and with a bang, he fell with a bang, and the ball rolled to one side.

"Uh!"

  Wang Tiejun also grunted and took a big step back, almost not tipping over.

  “…”

   The referee's mouth bulged, but he closed it again.

   He kept staring at the two of them and saw clearly that O'Neal was moving, but when Old K hit the collision, his feet were already in the defensive position, and the ball could not be called to block the foul.

This is also the beauty of the bear step. It is not a step, but a step that sticks to the ground. The front foot is once, and the back foot quickly catches up. The stride is very small. It's also possible to be called a blocking foul if it's a bit slower.

   "Ow!"

The collision of    giant beasts decided the winner. The Suns bench and the fans in the audience stood up excitedly, waving their fists and shouting endlessly.

"ah!"

  Among them, the extremely excited Barkley was waving his fists and roaring constantly.

   "Oh, God, old K's top defense is too hard! He's going to die! He may have broken a few ribs, and it's impossible for his ribs to block the collision of his shoulder blades."

   "O'Neal thought that if he hit the old K into the basket, he would be able to dunk, but he was wrong, the old K has not given up, his defense is still there, and he is even more aggressive and active, this is the old K!"

   In the ABC live broadcast booth, the two commentators roared excitedly.

  The game continued, Dan Marley rushed down to pick up the ball first, and then launched a fast break.

   The other eight of the two teams rushed to the frontcourt of the Suns, leaving only two panting monsters in the backcourt.

   "Hohohoho...haha!"

The panting Pharaoh laughed when he saw Kevin Johnson's pull-up jumper succeeded.

"damn it!"

   O'Neal, who was sitting on the floor panting, hit the floor with his hands in anger, stared at Pharaoh reluctantly and roared, "Come again 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 didn't play very actively.

   In the 5th minute, at 6:12, the Suns had a 6-point lead, and the Magic called a timeout.

Magic coach Matt Guost looked up at O'Neal and roared 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, don't waste your precious physical energy. On him, it wasn't worth it.

He is a blue-collar, and you are the No. 1 draft pick and our core insider. You have a hundred ways to blow him up. You can score on him at will. confrontation. "

   A look of anger appeared on O'Neal's face. He really wanted to yell at this guy below, **** you. I just wanted to detain him. Although I'm 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, the two were replaced by the coaches of both sides.

   "Come again!"

When    came on the court, O'Neal roared at Pharaoh.

"mock up!"

  Pharaoh is disdainful.

   Next, the two started a low-level contest.

  O'Neal was a young rookie after all, and he didn't 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.

   "Sigh!"

  After hitting twice, the shark squeezed into the paint area, leaned back against Pharaoh and swayed the ball with both hands. A shark turned around and completed a dunk after stepping forward.

   "Fight around me again, you bastard, the big rats on the streets of New York are not as flexible as you." The shaken Pharaoh muttered helplessly.

   turned his head, he hooked his hand after relying on the hit, but failed to hit.

"boom!"

   Two minutes later, it was another dunk after a slip, O'Neal had scored the 6th point in the first quarter, and also caused a foul by Jerrold Mustav who was under the basket.

Looking back, Wang Tiejun relied on hitting O'Neal, or used the bear step to switch between moving and hitting. He first moved O'Neal with a slippery bottom, then immediately switched to hitting, knocking back O'Neal, but this time he didn't knock over. The opponent, so he couldn't get to the basket smoothly, and finally hit a hook from two meters away from the basket.

   One minute later, O'Neal caused a foul by Pharaoh and made 1 of 2 free throws.

   turned around, under the strong defense of O'Neal, Pharaoh missed the hook again.

  Before the end of the first quarter, O'Neal missed a hook close to the basket. In a total of 10 minutes, he made 3 of 4 shots, 1 of 3 free throws, and scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 foul.

   Wang Tiejun, who also played 10 minutes, made 2 of 4 shots, 1 of 1 penalty, 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 of his more shots now. The first time he played Shaquille O'Neal, he almost never got a pass. At that time, he was just a short-time worker for the Suns.

   However, in the face of O'Neal's defense, he himself felt more difficult than playing David Robinson and Da Meng, scoring more difficult, close-range hooks one-of-three, and the efficiency was very low.

   At this time, because of his strength, when facing O'Neal, he has a weak advantage. Even if he has a strong support, O'Neal also has terrifying explosive power, and he can't take advantage of it in the confrontation.

   In the case of Da Meng and Robinson, his relying on play can gain some space for him to shoot, and the hit rate of near-basket hooks is higher, and can achieve more than 40%.

   In addition, there is another important reason that restricts his offensive efficiency, that is, his ability to control the ball is too poor, and he is only level 60.

   To put it simply, in the offense, in the fierce confrontation, he can't achieve the integration of the ball and the ball. His ball often loses control. Although he can regain control of the ball many times, time is wasted and the opportunity to attack is gone.

   He has decided that after the flexibility training cards are redeemed after the end of this month, if there are still 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 is nothing to say about this. The mobility and agility are very different. On the defensive end, he is a meat shield.

In the next three quarters, the pattern was similar to that in the second half of the first quarter. O'Neal always crushed Comrade Pharaoh on the offensive end with his outstanding talent. On the defensive end, he also had enough strength and tonnage to prevent Pharaoh from getting the An easy shot.

  The result of the game will not be said. Even without Barkley, the Suns finally won the Magic by 15 points, which is a big victory.

  O'Neal scored 22 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 1 turnover and 3 fouls in 38 minutes, 9 of 17 shots and 4 of 8 free throws.

In the same 38 minutes, Wang Tiejun made 7 of 15 shots, with a 50% hit rate, including 3 of 8 close-range hooks, and less than 40% of his nearly two-point shooting. Plus 5 of 8 free throws, he scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. 1 block, 1 turnover and 4 fouls.

In the ABC live broadcast, Gomez made a post-match summary, saying: "O'Neal's shooting percentage reached 53%, which is lower than his current average of 59.2%, which shows that the old K's defense has a certain effect, But it's not enough, the 53% hit rate is already very good. This shows that once the big shark does not fight with the old K, he can show his strong offensive talent."

Elanton continued: "In the same amount of time, Old K was inferior to O'Neal in scoring and rebounding, and his 50% shooting percentage was also lower than O'Neal, which shows that his strength is indeed not as good as O'Neal, and his performance on both ends of offense and defense is not as good as O'Neal. ."

"but…"

He went on to say: "Compared to the Magic's first regular season with the Suns, Old K's performance has improved tremendously. He faced Shaquille O'Neal for the first time and seemed to score 3 points, right? But he tonight Got 18 points.

   Of course, he still needs more progress to compete with O'Neal, especially in close-range attack. His efficiency is not as good as O'Neal, which is the main reason why his performance lags behind O'Neal. "

   Gomez laughed: "In the end, it's because of talent. His wrists are stronger than O'Neal and his shooting ability is worse, so the close-up offense is not as good as O'Neal."

   "But he hit 62.5 percent from the free throw line today, even better than O'Neal," Elanton said.

   "That might be, um, the reason why his basic shooting skills are better? You know that O'Neal's talent is so good, he may not care about basic skills, talent can solve all problems." Gomez laughed.

He is somewhat right. Wang Tiejun's basic shooting skills are really good, but the reason why his shooting accuracy is lost is not only because of his thick wrists, but also because of his strong physical development in the past two years, and his physique has changed too much. Then in this critical period of growth and development, basketball and physical training have been completely lost, what else is there to do?

After an optimization, Wang Tiejun's basic shooting skills returned to level 75, and he 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. That is to say, after optimization, he has not back to the previous level.

   In this game, Dan Marley scored 32 points, becoming the best of the game in the absence of Barkley.

   However, the rookie small forward Richard Dumars also performed well. In the first chance he finally got, he scored 26 points and hit 46% of the field, his performance was not weaker than Lao Wang.

  Dumars showed a more powerful scoring ability in the competition with Ceballos.

  This season, he is averaging 13 points per game as a backup small forward, while the main small forward Ceballos has only 10 points.

   On the defensive end, Dumars 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, the head coach Westphal prefers Dumars, but the scoring ability of the starting lineup is too strong and does not need Dumars' scoring ability, which is why Dumars is more scoring ability, but can only enter The main reason for the bench lineup, because he can play a bigger role in the bench lineup, and is just a tasteless rib in the main lineup.
