Chapter 146: Capping O'Neal

"Steve, their No. 1 position is much weaker than you, and you're going to blow him up today." Before going on the field, Frank warned.

"Sean, their fourth position is also much weaker than you, just like Steve, we're going to blow him up." Frank also warned.

Then he said to Li Ba: "Their lineup is very deep and the bench is very strong. We will try to get more points in the starting lineup. You have to take a few shots when you have the opportunity. But your defensive task today is very heavy, mainly doing defensive work. , Jermaine O'Neal is very strong, and he can play against Duncan if he plays well."

"I will guard against him." Nodding, Li Ba cheered up.

It's been a month, and Duncan, O'Neal, Malone, Dirk and other super insiders who I have met before have not actually played much. Jermaine O'Neal is the first All-Star center he really wants to play.

"victory!"

Li Ba stretched out his hand, and the five yelled in front of the bench, and then went on stage.

"flute!"

The jump ball was lost. Although Li Ba has made some progress in jumping, he is much weaker than Jermaine O'Neal, and his talent is not so easy to make up.

Jermaine O'Neal is a real talent stream. He has strong jumping height, jumping speed, and explosive power. He also has strength.

It can be said that on the offensive end, he wants to beat the current Li Ba.

Although Li Ba has scored some points in these two or three games, the main reason is that the opponents are not familiar with his scoring methods. Once they are prepared, his scoring efficiency will drop.

This is actually the reason why he always focuses on the defensive end. With self-knowledge, the defensive end is his talent.

But Jermaine O'Neal is also very good at the defensive end. Although he is known as a soft guy like Dirk, he is not too soft, mainly because he has some psychological problems and is relatively fragile. And his defensive idol is Lord of the Rings Russell, it is conceivable that he has worked hard on the defensive end.

So from both offensive and defensive ends, O'Neal can be said to be all-around, a true All-Star center.

Pacers attack.

Point guard Kenny Anderson dribbled forward, and Marbury stepped forward to interfere.

When Reggie Miller saw it, he immediately went to meet him. He knew that Anderson was not as strong as Marbury, and he was afraid that the ball would be cut off.

In the frontcourt, he took over the ball.

Although Jermaine O'Neal is the boss of this team, he is the leader of the locker room and the real boss of this team.

In the future, after he retires, this team with a very good record will also collapse.

Joe Johnson came over to defend.

"Boy, I really admire you guys. It took two weeks for an undrafted pick to ride on your heads. This is really a good story in the league."

Reggie Miller spewing trash talk and his spittle.

He was so loud that everyone on the field could hear him.

Li Ba, who was going to be stuck in the low position on the left wing with Jermaine O'Neal, of course also heard it. He immediately shouted: "Mr. Big Mouth, you don't need to come in from the outside, but don't your teammates come in? Entertain them with the toughest defense. And you, causing trouble to your teammates, is probably the biggest reason why you have no championship in your life?"

"Haha!" Marbury almost laughed.

"Damn rookie!" Looking at Li Ba, Reggie Miller almost died of anger.

"Jermaine, I advise you to put pressure on the team to trade this old guy, or you will be very dangerous in the future, because I will be very angry. Otherwise, you can ask to trade yourself, and then go to Los Angeles, go Find your friend Kobe, he is trying to get rid of O'Neill, and you are just in time."

Li Ba began to push O'Neal with his chest, and said in a cold voice.

Hearing Li Ba's words, the players on both sides looked at each other in blank dismay.

They're pretty sure it's a big mouth, about the same size as Reggie Miller.

Jermaine O'Neal's face was very ugly, because the person behind him was a real murderer. In one month, he made three players lie in the hospital with many broken bones, and the offseason time added up to more than four months.

He glanced at Reggie Miller with some dissatisfaction.

"Give me the ball, Reggie," he yelled, holding out his hand.

Reggie Miller looked a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't give it, there might be problems with O'Neal's character, so he had to give it.

O'Neal is left-handed, but he can also play with his right hand.

At this point, like his LeBron James, he injured his left hand when he was a child and practiced his right hand.

But James has been playing with his right hand since then, while O'Neal is still left-handed.

"Crack!" O'Neill was catching the ball outside.

Li Ba carried Xiao Ao inside the paint area.

He felt the strength comparison between the two sides. He was stronger, because Xiao Ao weighed only 102 kilograms, which was 11 kilograms lighter, and he was 8 centimeters taller than him.

But he didn't push Xiao Ao away. It was not easy to meet such a real All-Star insider, and he was an All-Star insider who had entered the peak period. He had to experience the strength of the opponent on both ends of the offense and defense.

He is now the boss of the Suns, and he has to see farther than his teammates, at least to see the playoffs.

With the current strength of the Suns, he thinks it is no problem to enter the playoffs, so for him, the regular season is training to make himself and the team stronger.

"Boom!"

Xiao Ao grabbed the ball with his left hand and suddenly hit Li Ba with his back.

Li Ba was stronger and was not knocked.

But it doesn't matter, Xiao Ao suddenly turned right and made a bottom-slip motion.

When the Suns organized players to study opponent data before the game, his main research object was Jermaine Jr., so he knew Jr. Ao's habits very well.

Jermaine has two of the strongest offenses in the low post.

One is to push the opponent back to gain space, then immediately turn around and slide to the bottom to directly attack the basket. This is his strongest low-post attack method.

One is that if the back body does not push the defensive player behind and does not get the space, generally take a fallback jumper that turns around and retreats.

When Xiao Ao didn't hit him, he knew what attack method Xiao Ao would take with a high probability, that is, take a step back and jump back.

As it turns out, attitude can determine a lot of things, including the quality of defense.

After Jermaine O'Neal made a bottom-slip motion, he suddenly took a step back, and then jumped up.

Indeed, as Li Ba expected, Xiao Ao bumped into Li Ba without bumping into him, so he knew that the opponent was stronger, so he adopted the second low-post attack method.

Li Ba, who was concentrating on it, immediately took the first step forward when Xiao Ao retreated, and jumped up in an instant.

This can be called gambling defense, and of course it can also be called prejudgment.

He knew that Xiao Ao could jump better than him, coupled with his excellent wingspan and backswing, his shot height was higher than Dirk Nowitzki, so his stupid bird had to fly first.

Thanks to Achilles tendon optimization, his first step is a little faster, and his bounce is higher and faster, especially the speed of the bounce, allowing him to jump faster.

When Jermaine O'Neal just jumped up, he had already jumped in mid-air, and his right hand drew from top to bottom to the basketball in O'Neill's left hand.

At this moment, Xiao Ao's eyes were full of horror!

"Snapped!"

The basketball was drawn vigorously and hit Xiao Ao's face.

"Well!"

Xiao Ao let out a cry of pain, and sat down on the floor with his buttocks, the basketball went out of the baseline.

"flute!"

The whistle sounded.

Amidst the shouts of the audience, countless palms were shaking.
