Chapter 744: Wool’s Self-Evolution and the Powerful Knight!
At 8 o'clock in the morning on November 26, 2008, the Seattle Supersonics' special plane crossed more than half of the United States from Seattle to Cleveland.
The home game against the Suns just ended yesterday, and it was already close to early morning when the game between the SuperSonics and the Suns ended.
It can be said that after the game against the Suns, the Seattle SuperSonics boarded a special plane to Cleveland without any rest.
As a result, when the SuperSonics players came out of the airport, everyone's face was filled with exhaustion that was difficult to hide.
In the NBA regular season, there will be many, many difficult games like this in a season, and there are even many more difficult games than this schedule.
It is precisely because the schedule of this game is extremely difficult for the Sonics that many people were more optimistic about the Cavaliers before the start of this game.
The Cavaliers also played a game yesterday, and it was also a back-to-back, but it was a back-to-back at home. A back-to-back at home is a completely different concept than a back-to-back away from home across half of the United States.
When Leafs and the Sonics come to many cities in the United States, they will be treated like superstars.
From the time Yes caused a storm in the NCAA three years ago to now, the Yes storm in the United States has never stopped.
It can be said that now Yeez and his team's away game is still considered a tour across the United States.
The reason why many American fans or viewers pay attention to the NBA is because Yes can go to their city once or twice a season, and they can watch the excitement up close.
Although the general environment in the United States is still in this situation, there are still some cities and places that are different from other places in the United States.
Such as Goose City and Cleveland.
In cities like Goose City, Cleveland or Miami, Yease would not have received cheers when he came here.
It was only eight o'clock in the morning when Yes and the SuperSonics players arrived in Cleveland. November 26, 2008 was still a Wednesday in the United States time. It was so early and it was a working day, but Yes and the SuperSonics players When the players came out of the airport, they were awakened from their exhausted spirits by the deafening boos outside the airport.
"Why do I feel like we're getting booed even more this time in Cleveland?"
"It's not that after LeBron James left,
Has Cleveland lost its faith, its soul? "
Most of the Seattle SuperSonics players are not visiting Cleveland for the first time.
Most of the Seattle SuperSonics players can imagine what kind of treatment they will enjoy when they come to Cleveland.
Obviously, this time, Cleveland fans went beyond their imagination.
I thought that after James left, Cleveland fans would not be so hostile to Yes. Unexpectedly, Cleveland fans were even more hostile to Yes than before!
"Shaq! Shaq! Shaq!"
Amidst the deafening boos, Ye Si was really surprised for a moment when he heard O'Neal's cheers mixed in with the boos.
Ye Si felt that he not only changed Bowen's destiny, but also changed the Spurs' destiny.
even……
The fate of O'Neal and the Cavaliers was changed by him...
Cleveland, the city and kingdom that once belonged to LeBron James, is now cheering for their new king, O'Neal!
And this kind of cheering is not just the cheering of the hundreds or thousands of people outside the airport.
At the Quicken Loans Arena, the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, listening to the crazy shouts around the Quicken Loans Arena when O'Neal came on in the finale, the players of Yease and the Seattle SuperSonics were really stunned!
Especially Yes!
Cleveland fans actually gave O'Neal such love!
You know, even though he has been a Cavaliers player for more than 2,000 games and led the Cavaliers to more than 2,000 Finals games with James, he clearly knows that even James at that time had never received such a reward. Love!
"Cleveland fans are showing James more love for O'Neal and how good they are now!"
"In fact, life in Cleveland is better than ever!"
"Shaquille O'Neal is now working hard to bring the Cleveland Cavaliers the first regular season MVP and championship in team history!"
"Shaquille O'Neal is now on his way to becoming the greatest player in Cleveland Cavaliers history!"
Watching Cavaliers fans cheering for O'Neal on TV, and listening to the cheers from Barkley on TV, James has a very ugly look on his face now.
He hopes that the Cavaliers can win this game. Whether it is for himself or the Cavaliers, he hopes that O'Neal and the Cavaliers can win this game.
He also watched the games between O'Neal and the Cavaliers this season. In previous games, O'Neal was also very popular with the Cavaliers, but it was definitely not as good as Seattle's game against Yes!
But what about tonight?
Cleveland fans are showing the world how much they love O'Neal and how good they are now!
This game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Seattle SuperSonics will be the most watched game for the Cavaliers this season, because the opponent is the SuperSonics, and because the opponent is Yes!
James is a smart man.
The love Cleveland fans show for O'Neal now represents how much they hate themselves in their hearts!
He really didn't expect that his decision would make Cleveland so hostile to him!
Thinking of this, James suppressed his somewhat explosive mentality.
No matter how much Cleveland fans hate him now, he still supports the Cavaliers and that damn fat man in this game!
Even if that damn fat guy cheated him for so long with the Cavaliers and Yes!
According to Dwyane, this fat guy not only cheated him in the Cavaliers, but also cheated Wade in the Heat. Mainly when facing Yes, this fat guy would team up with Yes to help Yes in pick-and-rolls.
Why is this happening?
Wade said he didn't know why.
But James felt that he could slightly guess some reasons.
In the game, when O'Neal defended Yes alone, O'Neal really defended!
Almost every one of O'Neal's defenses can be called a masterclass.
Almost every defense O'Neal makes can defend Yes to the extreme.
But as long as others come to help O'Neal, whether it's Wade or him, O'Neal will instantly change from Yes's enemy to Yes' helper!
Why doesn't this fat guy want anyone else to help him?
Obviously, with the character of this fat man, he wants to enjoy the glory and honor all to himself!
This fat guy has been in the NBA for so many years. He has won championships, personal honors, money, fame, and almost everything. Now this fat guy just wants to be the brightest fat guy.
Anyone who dares to stop him from becoming the brightest fat man is his enemy!
No matter the victory or defeat, or his teammates, it doesn't matter to this damn fat guy, he is so cheap now.
Although this damn fat guy is cheap, if he really shows his strength, his strength is indeed quite terrifying on both offense and defense.
Now that the Cavaliers are without Wade and James, the Cavaliers are now a stage for this fat guy alone.
Now that the fat guy doesn't have to trick him or Wade, he can finally use all his strength to defeat Yes, right? !
Watching the Cavaliers fans cheering for O'Neal, James' hands were clenched into fists.
He didn't want to support O'Neal, the guy who had screwed him so badly, he really didn't want to!
"Yes, you heard it, you were scared, this is now the territorial waters of the great shark!"
"..."
Seeing this fat man showing off in front of him, Ye Si was speechless.
However, listening to the Cavaliers fans cheering for him, this fat guy does have the capital to show off.
Yeas has actually been very, very worried about O'Neal and Bowen.
He was always worried that he had plucked the two people's wool too hard and ended up using up the two wools.
But now, both wools have completed incredible evolutions.
Let’s talk about the Spurs’ ** article. Because Bowen and Spurs head coach Popovich have changed their defensive basketball into offensive basketball this season!
In the past two seasons, the Spurs lost almost every time they met the SuperSonics. Whether it was Duncan or Ginobili Parker, the Spurs were holding back Bowen.
No matter how well Bowen defends Yes, the Spurs' offense cannot allow the Spurs to defeat the Sonics.
In order to change this situation, Popovich deliberately changed the Spurs' style from defense to offense for Bowen.
"As long as Bowen is there, our defense will definitely not be bad. If our offense improves again, no team can beat us, including Yes!"
"Tim is still the core of the Spurs, and Tim is still the core of the Spurs' offensive and defensive tactics, but the final results of the offensive and defensive tactics with Tim as the core serve Bruce. Bruce and Tim are now ours. leader!"
This was Popovich's confident answer during the interview.
Bowen has now established himself as a leader alongside Duncan in the Spurs.
As far as Bowen's status in the Spurs is concerned, as long as he doesn't take advantage of the situation, Bowen's status is basically stable.
And what about O'Neal?
This wool is more stable with the Cavaliers than Bowen is with the Spurs.
In the Spurs, the leaders are Duncan and Bowen, while in the Cavaliers, the core leader is O'Neal.
In other words, no matter how hard he rips off O'Neal, O'Neal, the king, will not be able to step down.
Even if the king is an undercover agent, he is still a king!
"Yes, I always feel that your eyes are very disrespectful. You must be slandering the great shark in your heart now!"
"..."
"No."
"It would be weird if there wasn't!"
O'Neal smiled and wanted to give Ye Si a hard slap on the shoulder. When he found out that Ye Si avoided him, O'Neal was quite helpless.
He really likes to sneak attack on these superstars, but damn, he is invincible in sneak attacks. When facing Yes, he never succeeded. This kid seems to be very, very familiar with some of his habitual moves!
But it also piqued O'Neal's amusement.
Now Cleveland has become the Sharks' territorial waters. In its own territorial waters, this Shark, who is very good at playing, plays very, very openly, and the atmosphere of the entire Quicken Loans Arena has become very, very warm.
Feeling the very warm atmosphere now, the other Cavaliers players are in a different mood than O'Neal.
As a former SuperSonics player, David Lee is very excited now. He just received last season's championship ring from Yes.
Although he has now left the Seattle SuperSonics, the ring on his hand is still the greatest achievement in his life. It is his greatest personal achievement that distinguishes him from his family!
He is still immersed in the fate that was changed by Yes!
The championship ring has arrived.
NBA All-Stars are also about to be available.
Now his 20+11 data is very promising to enter the All-Star in the Eastern Conference!
Who would have thought that he, a white big man who was once despised by a trashy team like the New York Knicks, could become an important player for a championship team in the NBA and become an All-Star in the future?
It can be said that his life is now close to perfect!
The only wish in his heart now is to prove in this game that he is better than Millsap!
In the SuperSonics, it was a regret for him that he was usurped from the starting lineup by Millsap and eventually left. Although he also supported Millsap as a starter, Millsap was indeed more balanced offensively and defensively than him, and he helped the team more in the starting lineup. Big, but Paul is the culprit who let him leave the Sonics after all.
Although he also supports Paul's starting lineup, if he doesn't have the heart to compete with Paul, he would be deceiving himself!
In this game, David Lee wanted to prove. He didn't want to prove anything else, he just wanted to prove that he was stronger than Millsap!
Millsap certainly felt David Lee's excited gaze, and he easily understood it.
Because this is what he thinks too!
He also wants to prove that he became the starter of the SuperSonics not only because of the balance of offense and defense, he also wants to prove that his current strength is superior to David Lee!
This game is important for David Lee and Millsap, and it's equally important for Deron Williams and Danny Gibson.
Deron Williams wants to make Yes regret!
Daniel Gibson wants to make James regret it!
"I know you must be watching this game!"
The thin Cavaliers No. 1 player is forcing his eyes to feel the possible gaze from thousands of miles away.
"You said you would come back as soon as you left, but since then, you have never come back..."
The scars and pain of the past scenes have been driving him forward.
"In this game, I will prove to you that even if you don't leave, we can beat Yes and the SuperSonics as long as we work hard!"
"In this game, I will make you regret how you feel!"
When Daniel Gibson opened his eyes, the aura exuding from his body even startled Richard Jefferson, who was thinking about whether to steam or braise Ibaka in this game.
"I've never seen Daniel look so murderous!"
The game between the Cavaliers and the SuperSonics is extremely popular because of two popular players, O'Neal and Yeas.
When the starting five of the Cavaliers and SuperSonics all stood on the court, all the commentators around the world were excitedly analyzing the game.
On one side is the most offensive starting lineup in history, and on the other is the player with the strongest personal offensive ability!
The strongest collective versus the strongest individual, this will be an exciting match for sure!
On the court, Milicic and O'Neal jumped the ball.
O'Neal is an opponent that Milicic dislikes playing very much. This fat guy is now slower and can't jump as high. But this season, O'Neal's offensive efficiency is the highest in his career!
As long as he appears under the basket, as long as he gets the basketball, let alone Milicic, not even Yao Ming, not even Duncan, not even the entire league can find anyone who can defend him!
In this year's Olympic finals, the U.S. team was humiliated by the Chinese team by 58 points, but when O'Neal had the physical strength, he defeated the combination of Yao Ming and Yes on the offensive end!
Defending Milicic felt that he couldn't guard O'Neal, but with the jump ball, there was really no problem at all.
When Milicic took off, O'Neal didn't even bother to jump.
"O'Neal himself said that the only player left in the entire league who can make him jump when he jumps the ball is Yao Ming."
"I don't know whether Yao Ming should laugh with honor or cry with anger."
Listening to Barkley teasing him on TV, Yao Ming also had an embarrassed expression on his face.
After successfully losing weight, his bounce is really not that bad now, okay?
That damn fat guy just likes to make jokes and ruin his reputation!
However, although this damn fat man likes to make jokes, saying that he will only jump when facing him, he is not a fan or an ordinary spectator. How could he not see that O'Neal's decision to not jump is actually to save his energy.
"Now O'Neal is not only getting fatter and fatter, but also becoming more efficient and controlling his physical strength more and more accurately!"
O'Neal's current state on the court is amazing!
Watching O'Neal on TV with his arms akimbo in the center circle watching Ye Si beat Deron and Richard Jefferson's defense to complete a layup, Yao Ming sincerely admired in his heart.
This is not mockery, this is really admiration!
On the court, O'Neal is the only player who has a thick skin and can smile with his hands on his hips while his teammates are being abused on the defensive end!
Others, no matter how shameless they are, will feel a little guilty when they stand on the court with their hands on their hips and watch their teammates defend.
Even if his teammates are willing to not come back when O'Neal is on the opponent's fast break because of his high status in offensive tactics, most people really have to show off and run, but O'Neal really doesn't even show up. He didn't even do anything, he really just stood in midfield with his arms crossed and his arms crossed.
No!
When Yes completed the layup, O'Neal had already slowly walked from the center circle of the SuperSonics half to the three-point line of the SuperSonics half!
“Yes’s fast break is very exciting, it’s the perfect combination of burst of speed and skill!”
"but!"
"It's too fast, Deron Williams' pass is too fast!"
Yess scored the first two points for the Seattle SuperSonics at the beginning, but looking back, Deron Williams received Richardson's baseline serve, faced Rondo's delay and directly flicked it with his long hand, and the basketball was like Like a precision-guided missile, it flew towards O'Neill!
"Here comes Cleveland's 'anti-fast break tactics'!"
Looking at the basketball flying over his head, Ye Si stopped with a frown.
Very nice long pass!
This beautiful long pass caused O'Neal to hit Millsap and complete a dunk under the basket under Ye Si's eyes!
"It's so easy, O'Neal's dunk was so easy!"
"Millsap can't stop O'Neal's power at all!"
"Even the Seattle SuperSonics need to consider the Cleveland Cavaliers' anti-fast break tactics during fast breaks!"
Counter fast break tactics...
Looking at the score of 2-2 on the court, Nelson frowned a little.
It is certainly not an accident that the Cavaliers' tactics have been so good this season.
The Cavaliers' offensive tactics that used O'Neal's offensive deterrence were very successful, but other teams are not fools. O'Neal is very slow and will attack O'Neal crazily.
When the time comes to pick up the pace, it's really hard to say who will win in the end, but O'Neal will definitely be dragged down.
But Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown is also crazy. When the opponent is on a fast break, O'Neal doesn't have to come back. Not only O'Neal doesn't have to come back, but David Lee doesn't have to come back either.
Richard Jefferson and Deron Williams and Daniel Gibson are three very fast players back on defense.
If the opponent hits the ball in a fast break, he will directly serve the baseline ball and use Deron's passing ability to directly find O'Neal.
O'Neal is one-on-one, O'Neal will attack directly. If the opponent is flanked, then O'Neal will pass the ball to David Lee to take over.
The Cavaliers' quick baseline ball tactics are extremely efficient.
If the opponent misses the fast break, that would be even better. It is the same tactic, and it is also Deron's long pass to find O'Neal.
This is very annoying. O'Neal is not back, and with David Lee, at least two defensive players are needed behind, or even three, which results in a two-on-three fast break on his side.
The success rate of fast breaks will decrease as the number of people decreases.
So much so that the success rate of Deron's long pass to O'Neal is higher than the success rate of his opponent's fast break!
In this case, O'Neal can save energy, and the Cavaliers can also overcome their opponents and bring up the rhythm to wear down O'Neal.
As a result, many teams had no choice but to settle down and play against the Cavaliers after discovering that there was no way to speed up against the Cavaliers.
When the game between the two sides fell into position, O'Neal's huge body became even more powerful!
On the offensive end, O'Neal is now the biggest weapon in the league's positional battles.
On the defensive end, even if O'Neal's movement is slow, once he stops in the penalty area, two positions are occupied by him!
It can be said that the major teams in the league are really having a hard time facing the Cavaliers this season.
And this is the reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers have 11 wins and 3 losses so far!
And this is why O'Neal can rank first in the MVP list and is considered to be able to lead the Cavaliers to compete for the NBA championship!
Use O'Neal's now invincible one-on-one ability to play "anti-fast break tactics"! Coupled with the nearly invincible positional warfare ability, the Cavaliers are now extremely powerful.
Halfway through the first quarter, when the game entered an official timeout, the Cavaliers led by 2 points at home, 20-18.
"Up to this point in the game, the Cavaliers have completely controlled the rhythm!"
In this game, the Sonics are really going to suffer!
Barkley is anxious now.
Mike Brown on the sidelines was also frowning.
"We were only ahead by two points..."
