Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Hey, Shaq, are you ready for the oxygen tank today..."

"Kid, you are still so arrogant. Even though I am older, I can still dunk on your head."

"okok, I won't argue with you because you are older, but I hope you can defend me to 40 points this time."

"Fuck! You still have such a bad mouth, just wait for Shaq to kick your ass today!"

…

After Zuo Li and O'Neal had a cordial and friendly exchange, the focus battle, which was broadcast live across the United States and simultaneously broadcast in 184 countries and regions around the world, was finally about to begin.

Both sides started the game.

Celtics: O'Neal, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.

Knicks: Zuo Li, Randolph, Shane Greene, Curry.

In order to limit Ray Allen, the Knicks once again sent Danny Green, a second-year pick who played excellent defense against Ray Allen in the playoffs last season.

Ray Allen is itching to look at Danny Green now. In the playoffs last season, Danny Green basically never left. He would follow him as far as he ran, but would not let him take action. This was also considered to be a sign of Kevin Greene's behavior.

The reason why the Celtics lost the tiebreaker for two consecutive seasons.

After all, without Ray Allen's outside firepower support, the Celtics' inside pressure is too great, and except for Ray Allen, the inability of anyone else to contribute three-pointers stably has been the Celtics' biggest problem in recent years.

You can't expect Rondo to shoot three-pointers...

And seeing Danny Green starting, Rivers also understood that if he wants to win tonight, he must start from the inside.

Why did they introduce all the big and small O's to the team this summer? Their sights were set on the Knicks and Zuoli.

For two consecutive seasons, Zuo Li was beaten in the paint, resulting in their failure to break through in the Eastern Conference. Naturally, the Celtics had to make some reinforcements for Zuo Li, and hoarding insiders was the best way they came up with.

It's just...how to put it, it's a pity that Zuo Li has never been afraid of a stand-up center like O'Neal. Even two seasons ago, when Zuo Li couldn't fight against O'Neal, Zuo Li could already chop him off.

50 points.

Are you stronger than me? Then it’s okay if I don’t go in!

I pull you out and you follow me with your life.

What? What do you mean by defense?

I still have teammates!

Randolph is also a big human shield, even if he can't completely resist it, he can always block it. After all, Ao Pang is not at his peak anymore. If he blocks it, his speed will be slowed down, and Zuo Li will be able to make up the defense...

Moreover, Zuo Li is an excellent defender. He has a long and tall wingspan. He also has the advantages of hundreds of schools. He has learned various interior defense and shot-blocking skills. Everyone has forgotten that Yao, who just joined the league, blocked shots.

It's time.

So Zuo Li kept saying at that time that Randolph was really important to the Knicks.

But now, after two seasons, Zuo Li is no longer weak in confrontation. Although he is heavy, Zuo Li can really resist. With the presence of Randolph and Anderson...

It can only be said that Aopang has found a big job for himself.

As for Xiao Ao, before he was injured, he could still defend Zuo Li. But now, his steps are slow and he really doesn't know how to defend Zuo Li.

It can only be said that Anji has tried his best. After all, the league is now scarce of insiders, and good insiders are even more scarce. Guys like Bynum are the focus of training, and Dampier can still get a multi-million contract, which was impossible in the 1980s.

imagination.

But the Celtics also have a solution. Isn't Garnett still there? With two people defending together, you can't still play so easily, can you?

Facts have proved...it really works!

Again, the peak of Garnett who came back in 2009 is completely gone. His final glory will be in the next season. These two seasons are all about accumulating strength for the final comeback next season. No matter whether he moves or bounces, he can no longer threaten him.

Zuo Li became stronger and stronger in the end.

And this season, Zuo Li did not regard the Celtics as his main opponent. Choosing Ou and Ou and giving up Perkins was definitely the beginning of the collapse of the Celtics' Big Three era.

Perkins' role is definitely underestimated. O'Neal really can't replace Perkins. Look at the Thunder next door. After acquiring Perkins, they went straight to the finals. The Celtics will enter the Eastern Conference finals next season after O'Neal retires.

Although it was reversed, it was indeed the Celtics' final peak.

The current Celtics, from personnel to tactics, cannot cause enough trouble to the Knicks.

On the first ball, Zuo Li, who was attacking with all his strength, turned around and completed a dunk before being double-teamed.

"This turn is so cool... I have to say that Zuo Li is really comfortable in the paint now. The ball he shot just now is exactly the same as when Olajuwon was at his peak, but it is different. He also has something that Big Dream does not have."

With their ultra-high-intensity confrontation ability and dynamic and static talents, it’s not the fault of the two veterans. No matter who comes up, they don’t know how to defend." Yang Yi said.

"It can only be said that Zuo Li is too powerful, and we can't have such high demands on two forty-year-old veterans." Yu Jia agreed.

Then, another step inside the three-point line. This time, Randolph dipped to attract the defense, but Zuo Li succeeded in a jump shot because O'Neal didn't even reach the free throw line at this time.

With no one guarding him, it was just the beginning, and Zuo Li almost never missed his shots.

For two consecutive rounds, Zuo Li scored easily. At this time, Rivers was already sighing, because he had discovered that a summer of signings was basically in vain, because people who should not be guarded could still not be guarded.

live.

Since defense is not good, then there is only offense. However, there is still the same problem. Rivers' offense is really mediocre. After so many seasons, the tactics are still very simple. Especially this season, Ouyang is here, and he does not design Ouyang's singles very much.

On the one hand, Ao Pang is not very good at tactics, and on the other hand... he just likes to defend.

So the Celtics' offense was still the same. Rondo was the only offensive brain in the lineup. He dominated the ball and scored a sudden point. Ray Allen caught the ball and barely made a shot. There was no way. After Garnett slowed down, the pick-and-roll became more difficult, and

He's also slower, making it harder for him to get completely open.

Fortunately, top pitchers can make shots without looking at the box. At 3-4, the Celtics broke their record.

But Zuo Li is not worried at all. Even if such a goal is scored, so what? Can you keep scoring?

Bang!

Zuo Li immediately went to the line to assist Randolph and dunked inside.

O'Neal made up the defense, but it was still too late.

"Try to defend it." Zuo Li shouted, they can ensure continuous firepower!

"Don't be proud!" O'Neal flexed his muscles, he was going to go crazy!

attack!

O'Brien wanted the ball for the first time in a long time, but Rondo was able to pull away. O'Brien hit Randolph with a small hook, and then took a dominant step.

"Shaq is here!"

Oh? Really!?

Zuo Li and Randolph looked at each other.

So in the next four minutes, Zuo Li and Randolph took turns hitting O'Neal, and even Curry on the outside kept hitting O'Neal in pick-and-rolls.

Then I saw O'Neal holding his knees with his hands: "No, Shaq can't run anymore."
