Chapter 250 O'Neill was blocked by a defender? !
"Okay, audience friends, now that the two teams have finished their warm-up matches and the game has officially started, first let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams."

"The Heat's starting lineup is as follows:

Center, O'Neal, Forward, Antoine Walker, James Posey, Guard: Dwyane Wade, Jason Williams! "

"The Eagles starting lineup is as follows:
Center: Darko Milicic, Forwards: Josh Smith, Wally Szczerbiak, Guards: Tony Allen, Xu Lang! "

"Obviously Theo Ratliff's performance in the last game has proved that he is not the super defensive center who was able to enter the best defensive team."

"Although, Theo Ratliff at his peak still couldn't withstand O'Neill's impact!"

"But, after Theo Ratliff is replaced, how will the starting lineup of the Eagles face O'Neal in this game!
You must know that this starting lineup has been confirmed in the first game, let alone withstand O'Neal, or even be directly pierced by O'Neal. "

In fact, not only Mike Breen now believes that the Hawks' starting lineup is about to repeat the mistakes of the team in the first game, but all the commentators on the commentary booth, including Barkley, a veteran fan, are not optimistic that the Hawks can top the team in this game. Live O'Neill's offense.

However, just when everyone thought that this game would turn into a fun game for O'Neal, the Eagles and Xu Lang definitely gave them a completely different answer!

When the Eagles were defending, the audience commentators and the fans in front of the TV were horrified to find that Xu Lang came behind O'Neal and wanted to start defending O'Neal.

This is a picture that everyone will feel extremely shocked when they see it.

Although Xu Lang once scored 70 points as an inside player, he also scored a five-double against O'Neal as a center player.

But this is O'Neal, the most brutal super center in NBA history!
The 101kg, 2m01 Xu Lang is on top of the 2m16, 147kg O'Neal. The whole picture is like a junior high school student facing a college student.

The difference in height and weight made everyone suspect Xu Lang, and it was very likely that when O'Neill exerted force for a force impact, he would be completely ejected.

After all, even Howard, the best defensive center of the NBA's active younger generation, turned into a little baby when facing O'Neal!
In fact, O'Neill thought so too. After O'Neill fell into position and saw that the defender behind him was Xu Lang, he was immediately laughed out of anger.

It's just that O'Neill's smile is full of cannibalism.

Take the ball in position and directly exert force.

When O'Neal completes this set of offensive procedures and prepares to easily complete a double-handed dunk.

Accident happened!
Xu Lang, who was defending behind O'Neill, didn't move at all. At this moment, O'Neill suddenly discovered that Xu Lang didn't seem to be sent to make a joke.

"Oh, it's unbelievable that O'Neal failed to impress Xu Lang."

When O'Neal collided with Xu Lang for the first time, everyone hadn't realized that Xu Lang was able to withstand the impact of O'Neal with a weight of 101kg.

But after O'Neal turned his back for 2 to 3 seconds, he failed to move his position half a step into the penalty area.

All are aware of a truth they don't want to believe.

That is, in the power showdown, O'Neill did not seem to have completed the crushing of Xu Lang as people imagined.

"I'll go, this product is indeed a bit heavy."

Compared to the astonishment of the audience and commentators, Xu Lang, one of the parties involved, knew in advance that he and O'Neal were only slightly behind in terms of strength, and knew that he could at least beat O'Neal for 2~3 seconds Time.

It's just that O'Neill has the advantage of weight after all. After a stalemate for 2 to 3 seconds, Xu Lang found that there was a high probability that he would still be unable to withstand O'Neill's impact on the inside.

It's just that for Xu Lang, being able to withstand O'Neal for 2-3 seconds is completely enough.

After all, the first game has proved that as long as O'Neal can't quickly push the defender away, the Eagles may rely on the trapped shark tactics to complete the siege of O'Neal.

It was just when Xu Lang held O'Neal for 3 seconds, forcing O'Neal's face to change, and he began to prepare for direct force, quickly lowering his center of gravity, and his thigh muscles completed a full-strength explosion.

Xu Lang suddenly found that Darko Milicic and Josh Smith, who were supposed to be flanked by the Eagles, were still in place.

Seeing that O'Neill's body suddenly became half shorter, Xu Lang understood that he would definitely not be able to stand this time.

"Damn it, what's the situation? Why didn't Darko and Josh come to help defend?"

Originally, according to Mike Wu Desen's tactical requirements, as long as Xu Lang can stand in front of O'Neal for 2 to 3 seconds.

Then Darko Milicic and Josh Smith quickly moved their positions and completed the assist defense against O'Neal in a timely manner.

Then in this game, the Eagles have a high probability of recreating the perfect performance of the second game and keeping the victory of the game in Phillips Arena.

However, what Mike Woodson and Xu Lang didn't expect was that Darko Milicic was surprised by Xu Lang's defensive performance just now, which caused the two of them to be a little stunned for 1~2 when they assisted in defending. seconds.

This has led to the fact that the defense positions of the two are not in place in time.

"Forget it, don't worry about it, I'm sure you won't be able to prevent it this time. Then take a gamble."

Xu Lang was well aware of the height and wingspan gap between himself and O'Neill.

If there is no way to push O'Neal out of the three-second zone.

There is not much possibility that Xu Lang can defend O'Neal after entering the penalty area.

So, Xu Lang gritted his teeth and made a bold defensive decision.

When O'Neal lowered his center of gravity and started to exert all his strength, Xu Lang did take a timely step back.

Then, I saw O'Neill, who hadn't moved against Xu Lang for the first 2 to 3 seconds, fell directly on a big horse after preparing to exert all his strength.

And when O'Neill couldn't control his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Xu Lang walked around with a happy face, came to O'Neal's flank, and snatched the basketball from O'Neal's hands.

After completing the steal, Xu Lang immediately roared twice, waking up Josh Smith and Darko Milicic who had been stupefied just now.

The two chattered, looking at Xu Lang who had already completed the steal, the sense of surprise in his heart further increased.

Fortunately, this time the two of them did not continue to be dazed, but directly set off to follow Xu Lang's guidance and roar, and quickly launched a defensive counterattack.

Five-on-four, skillful passing and tactical moves.

Let the Eagles' defensive counterattack this time end with Szczerbiak's two-handed dunk after receiving the ball.

It's just that the focus of offense and defense this time is not on the Eagles' defensive counterattack, but on O'Neal who was just thrown to the ground by Xu Lang's retreat.

"Look, I said that Xu Lang should play inside, what kind of outside?"

"In the current NBA league, if Xu Lang plays inside, I think his future performance will definitely be more than one level higher than his outside play."

Charles Barkley was so excited that he almost stood on the commentary stand and roared angrily.

Although, this is the 35-year-old O'Neal!

Although this is no longer to O'Neal at his peak!

Although this is O'Neal who was kicked off the league's No. [-] center by Yao Ming!
But he is O'Neal after all, with a weight of more than 140 kilograms and a height of 2m16.

This kind of O'Neal is not to be said to be Xu Lang, but now Yao Ming, who has slowly established himself as the number one center in the league, and the world's number one center, dare not say that he can stabilize his head.

But now, Xu Lang not only withstood O'Neal's force impact, but also completed the steal of O'Neal through good defensive judgment.

The player who made O'Neal so embarrassed last time was the former No. [-] center in the league, and Olajuwon, who is now sitting in the commentary booth to explain the game!

It's just that although Xu Lang's offensive and defensive performance just now was very exciting.

But because it was just an offense and defense, Olajuwon, who is cautious by nature, did not make it so easy, so he opened his mouth to comment on the inside duel between Xu Lang and O'Neal, who is better and who is worse.

In fact, Xu Lang himself did not intend to keep entangled with O'Neal in the paint.

After all, the Eagles also need Xu Lang on the offensive end.

Therefore, when returning to the offensive end, Xu Lang still holds the ball on the outside.

Although after possessing O'Neal's player template.

Xu Lang's offensive skills on the inside are also not weak, even stronger than his offensive skills on the outside.

But the problem is that these offensive skills are all from O'Neal's offensive skills.

And O'Neal's offensive skills, in order to get the most perfect play, the first condition is that the player is required to be able to completely crush the opposing defensive player in terms of strength.

Obviously, if Xu Lang plays against O'Neal, not to mention being crushed by strength, Xu Lang may be weaker than O'Neal in terms of strength confrontation!
Coupled with the disadvantage of height and wingspan, it is actually difficult for Xu Lang to perfectly display O'Neal's offensive skills and offensive ability in the interior.

Therefore, while O'Neal was still on the court, Xu Lang decided to focus on outside offensive play.

Of course, although he was attacking from the outside, Xu Lang still replaced his defensive player with O'Neal through the pick-and-roll!
After all, Xu Lang may not be able to take advantage of the one-on-one singles against O'Neal in the paint.

But when playing one-on-one on the outside, the slow-paced O'Neal is likely to be slammed one-on-one by Xu Lang.

For example, in this attack, Xu Lang faced O'Neal who had switched defenses, and made two consecutive cross-steps under the crotch in disguise.

O'Neal, who just swayed directly, had to back up again and again to prevent Xu Lang from being directly accelerated to complete the breakthrough attack.

And just when O'Neal's back defense broke through, Xu Lang also took a step back and stepped back outside the three-point line.

Take off, shoot, hit, return to defense.

A pretentious four-piece set in one go.

Moreover, when facing O'Neal one-on-one from the outside, Xu Lang has an excellent advantage.

That is, the Heat did not dare to flank Xu Lang too early.

After all, Xu Lang was standing at the top of the arc at the three-point line.

In terms of vision, it is much better than Xu Lang who completed the inside attack!

Coupled with Xu Lang's passing ability, once the Heat dare to pinch Xu Lang in advance, then Xu Lang is likely to directly pass through the Heat's outside defense by passing the ball.

On the offensive end, O'Neal was named one-on-one.

On the defensive end, with Xu Lang defending and Josh Smith and Darko Milicic assisting in time, O'Neal began to struggle to give full play to his tonnage advantage in the interior like in the second game!

Moreover, compared to the second game, Theo Ratliff was still somewhat reluctant to defend O'Neal due to physical problems and age.

In this game, when Xu Lang defended against O'Neal, it was obviously easier.

Fortunately, Pat Riley is also a master tactician.

After seeing O'Neill's strong point, there is no way to play it out.

Pat Riley immediately changed the focus of the Heat's offense and put the offensive task of the game on Dwyane Wade.

In fact, this tactical record was prepared by Pat Riley after the Heat's second game.

I have to admit that the overall strength rating has reached 95, and his playing is very similar to that of Jordan's Dwyane Wade when he was young, when he was fully fired.

It can still put great pressure on the Eagles' perimeter defense.

The only problem is, Wade is just Wade after all.

Although starting from this season, Wade began to be dubbed Jordan who is 5cm shorter.

But there is still a big gap between him and Jordan.

Coupled with the continuous growth of Tony Allen in the Eagles this season, his personal defensive strength has reached the post-90s.

Let him rely on the Eagles' defensive system to face Dwyane Wade one-on-one, and he won't be completely blown away.

At least, in the first quarter of the game, Dwyane Wade scored 43 points with a shooting rate of about 11% in a single quarter under Tony Allen's one-on-one marking.

In contrast, under the leadership of Xu Lang, who scored 50 points on more than 15% shooting in the first quarter, the Eagles completely blew up the Heat on the offensive end.

It's just the same problem. Except for Xu Lang, there is no way for the players of the Eagles to be able to attack and defend at the same time.

Most of the time, if the other players of the Eagles want to maintain their offensive efficiency, they still need Xu Lang to pass out good offensive opportunities.

Otherwise, under the leadership of Xu Lang in this game, the Eagles' scoring data may be higher.

But even so, when O'Neal's dominance in the interior completely disappeared.

Dwyane Wade is under Tony Allen's one-on-one marking, and there is no way to completely blow up the Eagles' perimeter defense!

The Heat inevitably lost in the first quarter of this game.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles directly crushed the Heat with a seven-point lead.

"There is no doubt that just looking at this game, Xu Lang's performance is better than that of Dwyane Wade and O'Neal."

At the end of the first quarter, Olajuwon said cautiously after summarizing Xu Lang's performance in this quarter.

"I personally think that Xu Lang's inside defensive performance in this game, even if he has not reached the level of the top inside players in the league.

But it is already comparable to some super giant defensive insiders.

Especially in terms of strength confrontation, Xu Lang is not weaker than O'Neal who hit Dwight Howard in the last round of the series! "

"Although Xu Lang was able to fight the hard steel O'Neill in strength with a weight of 101 kilograms, it still surprised me.

But after Ben Wallace's performance of O'Neal at the peak of hard steel with a weight of 109kg, and Xu Lang's martial arts performance of kicking Drew Gooden unconscious, I think Xu Lang's performance is still acceptable . "

"This season's O'Neal, although he still played a super-level offensive performance and inside dominance in the first round of the series, but O'Neal is 35 years old after all."

"Especially in terms of strength confrontation, compared with his peak period, O'Neal must have a big gap."

"Compared to Xu Lang's amazing performance in the strength confrontation, I am even more surprised.

When Xu Lang defended O'Neal on the inside, he was able to take care of O'Neal or Dwyane Wade on the outside at the same time. "

In the first quarter of the game, although Xu Lang hopes to call O'Neal one-on-one every time.

But Pat Riley's defensive system for the Heat is not vegetarian.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Heat did not adjust their defensive strategy and defensive system.

Xu Lang was also able to find opportunities to name O'Neal many times.

But in the second half of the first quarter, when Pat Riley adjusted the Heat's defensive system from man-to-man defense to man-to-man plus zone defense, it was already difficult for Xu Lang to call O'Neal one-on-one. up.

But even there is no way to name O'Neal one-on-one.

Xu Lang can still fight with the same strength as O'Neal now, and easily push away most of his Heat players to defend him.

Whether it is Dwyane Wade, Antoine Walker, James Posey, etc., when anyone comes to defend Xu Lang one-on-one, it is difficult to withstand the force confrontation of Xu Lang when he breaks through.

To some extent, in the second half of the first quarter, Xu Lang's style of play was a bit like an enhanced version of LeBron James.

It's just that LeBron James' playing habit is to use his strong strength attributes and physical confrontation ability to directly enter the interior against the defensive player, and complete violent dunks or interior finishes.

Xu Lang is different. Xu Lang can finish strong inside like LeBron James.

It is also possible to quickly open the distance between the defender and the defender through the inertia after the strength confrontation, and obtain an excellent shooting space, so as to complete the mid-range emergency stop jump shot.

Such an offensive method combined with sudden shots makes it difficult for Xu Lang to be completely restricted by the Heat's perimeter defense on the offensive end.
