NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 12: A Lesson for Young Ao

Although he was very happy to be able to play, Lu Yuanzhi still complained in his heart: I am obviously a small forward, why do I always swing to the 4th position and go inside to fight with those muscular sticks.

Look, Turkoglu is taller than me. He always plays the No. 3 position every time he goes up. Is this the welfare of a weakling?
While complaining, Lu Yuanzhi walked to O'Neal and prepared to defend, when Lu Yuanzhi suddenly discovered Hua Dian.

O'Neal's height of 2 meters should not be filled with water. He does look a little taller than Lu Yuanzhi, and his arms look long, but when the two entangled to grab a position, it was obvious that O'Neal's wingspan was very average.

what happened?

Lu Yuanzhi stopped on purpose and took a closer look at O'Neal's figure, only to find that O'Neal's shoulders were relatively narrow, which was nothing. Garnett's shoulders were not broad either, but O'Neal's hands were too small.

Not to mention that compared with Lu Yuanzhi's big hands that surpassed Jordan, O'Neal's hands may not be as good as the future parallel import champion Kwame Brown.

Why don't you try a little more intensity and see if he is as good as Kwame Brown?
The moment O'Neal received the ball, Lu Yuanzhi suddenly increased his confrontation, trying to force O'Neal to make a mistake in catching the ball, but O'Neal was not affected at all and caught the pass steadily.

oh?Did you think wrong?Small hands are not necessarily buttery hands?

It is possible that there is another model boss with small hands, but there have never been rumors of butter hands.

Since this weakness does not exist, then play normally.

Ordinary inside defense against Jermaine O'Neal is very difficult, because he is a rare athletic power forward in the era of meat shield insiders. He can run and jump, has flexible feet, and accurate mid-range shots. He is similar to Garnett.

But is this a problem for Lu Yuanzhi?

I can run and jump. Can I run and jump?My steps are nimble. Is it as nimble as me, who can move from the third position?The mid-range shot is accurate. Hey, kid, my arm span is 228 and you are only 220. The bullet speed is not as fast as mine. Do you really want to force the mid-range shot?

But basketball is not about physical statistics. After receiving the ball from outside the penalty area, O'Neal decided to give Lu Yuanzhi a little flair. He didn't think his style of play was completely restrained.

O'Neal dribbled the ball first and played back, but Lu Yuanzhi, who had carried Duncan, was worthy of him at all. 103kg also wanted to carry someone away?Think too much!
Jermaine O'Neal is not very attractive, and he is not discouraged. He knows his advantages and disadvantages of his weight. It is normal for him to be unattractive. Physical confrontation is only to destroy the center of gravity of the defender.

O'Neal pushed twice, and Lu Yuanzhi moved his center of gravity back slightly. Taking advantage of this gap, O'Neal quickly half-turned towards the baseline, and Lu Yuanzhi took a big step with his left foot, stepping directly on the baseline.

You live, let me see how you live!
Jermaine O'Neal didn't think he could slip past the baseline easily. The defensive player who moved up from the third position was definitely not slow. He couldn't pass the baseline as easily as a big tank. The one was bigger, so I immediately turned back and turned to the front.

When Lu Yuanzhi stepped on the bottom line, he considered that O'Neal was going to the center line, adjusted his center of gravity in advance, and soon followed, but still did not lose his position.

Annoying, little O'Neal is annoyed. What's going on with this guy? Why is he still stuck to himself like a piece of chewing gum? He has no choice but to collect the ball, make a fake jump shot, and then immediately turn around and return to the baseline. A small Hook shot.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't hesitate at all. He was very confident in his wingspan and bullet speed. He didn't jump at O'Neal's fake move for the first time. When O'Neal turned back to the hook and the moment his feet left the ground, He just caught up with the jump.

O'Neal turned around with a long stride. If Lu Yuanzhi used his right hand to block the ball, it would be very awkward.

But who said you have to use your right hand to block shots?It's not shooting. Is it different with the left hand?

Lu Yuanzhi adjusted his angle with a small jump to keep up with O'Neal Jr.'s figure. Then he exerted force on his legs and lifted into the air like a cannonball. He stretched his body and tried his best to reach up with his left hand.

"Snapped!"

O'Neal's little hook, which had never been disturbed before, was actually touched by Lu Yuanzhi's fingertips, and then flew out of the baseline.

"WTF!" When the fans at the scene saw O'Neal turn around and throw away Lu Yuanzhi, and make the iconic hook shot, they all stretched out their hands and were ready to stand up and cheer. However, they did not expect that Lu Yuanzhi could keep up with the ball and block the shot. He could only He put his hands on his head angrily and put on a mask of pain.

"Oh, what did I see? The rookie just flew up and blocked Jermaine O'Neal's little hook out of the baseline!"

"Yeah, that's Jermaine's hook. You see, the shot point is very high!"

"When did this newcomer come out? Let's take a look. The king himself chose Max Lu from China. Hoho, the king has found a treasure!"

"The Kings have always been one of the strongest offensive teams in the league, and now they have found a defensive lock besides Christie."

It was the first time that two commentators broadcast a Kings game. It was a bit of a fuss. The Chinese audience who had been following Lu Yuanzhi would definitely say, sprinkle water, Duncan has guarded against it, why are you still afraid of O'Neal?
"Nice job, rookie!" Mike Bibby saw this wonderful block and hurried up to give Lu Yuanzhi a high five.

O'Neal Jr. was a little unconvinced. Luck must be good luck.

The Pacers took advantage of the Kings' slack and used a quick serve tactic. O'Neal Jr. received the pass under the basket. At this time, only Lu Yuanzhi stood in front of him.

Humph, rookie, I have the ball in this position, what can you do!Immediately, O'Neal took off and was ready to dunk.

Lu Yuanzhi looked dumbfounded, isn't it, boy, are you so brave?Just covered you, and you sent it to your door again?Don't do any feints?
The big hot pot delivered to the door, how could Lu Yuanzhi let him slip away, jumped up and pressed Jr. O'Neal's dunk.

The ball did not fly too far and returned to O'Neal's hands again. The two looked at each other. This time O'Neal was finally blocked. The rookie in front of him was not easy to deal with.

He was a little hesitant, not daring to attack the frame as unscrupulously as before, but the attack time was running out, and the 24-second violation was about to occur, and Miller had already yelled "shoot" from the outside.

Gritting his teeth, Jermaine O'Neal made an invalid fake move, and then took off again.

Again?

Good comrade, O'Neill Jr., come and help me brush up the block data.

Lu Yuanzhi followed suit, and this time the ball was well blocked. The ball flew towards the Pacers' half court, and the referee blew the whistle before it went out of bounds.

24 second offensive violation.

These three blocks in a row are too morale-boosting. How proud O'Neal was before, how relieved the Kings players are now!
The Kings players on the court came over to high-five Lu Yuanzhi, while towels were waving on the bench off the court.

The young O'Neal, who was not yet fully developed, was dejected and began to doubt life.

In the commentary booth, the two on-site commentators watched Lu Yuanzhi's two consecutive blocks over and over again following the replay.

"Oh my God, what did I see? Max sent out two hot pots in a row!"

"Yeah, it's still on Jermaine O'Neal. It's incredible."

"Look at the second block, look at Max's fierce eyes, I bet Jermaine must be terrified!"

"Hey man, I'd be freaking out if someone double-checked me like that twice, even if he's kind!"

Adelman felt relieved, and he couldn't help but feel proud. Fortunately, I know a hero with my eyesight, and I kept Max. Otherwise, O'Neal would blow up the inside line today. Thomas, do you have any other tricks?
Thinking about it, Adelman looked at the smiling assassin Isiah Thomas in the opponent's coaching bench. Thomas looked at the court expressionlessly. It was not clear whether he was really not panicking or pretending to be calm.

Although Lu Yuanzhi suppressed O'Neal, the problem of the Kings still existed. Neither Fang De Burke nor Lu Yuanzhi on the inside had the ability to attack independently, and all the offensive pressure came to the three players on the outside.

Stojakovic still maintains a fiery touch, hitting consecutive mid-range shots. It was his outstanding performance that allowed the Kings to bite the score and overtake at the end of the first quarter, ending the first quarter with 28:26.

But the Kings, lacking inside offensive means, quickly tasted the bitter fruit. In the second quarter, the outside line, which was heavily marked, performed poorly. Mike Bibby and Doug Christie seemed to set their sights on Cleveland. The two made 8 of 3 shots together. , 2 for 0 from beyond the three-point line.

Lu Yuanzhi has been placed on the field all the time. He defended Jermaine O'Neal well. There is no need to replace him. He is young and has good physical strength. Even if he is back-to-back, he seems to have endless energy.

But how can this rough brother Lu Yuanzhi help the offense?Foster and O'Neal took turns sitting on the inside to guard against his counter-run raid, while the others kept an eye on the other three Kings outside.

As for Pollard and Funder Burke, come on, the scoring ability of these two is not much better than that of Lu Yuanzhi, and the impact at the basket is not as strong as Lu Yuanzhi, and they have been ruthlessly stocked.

The score in the second quarter was 26:28, and the Kings scored two points less. The two teams entered the second half tied at 54.
