The rest is just noise

"The plot is different from what I thought."

"What is O'Neal doing?"

"You can't defend or attack, how dare you call this the number one award in the 1990s?"

Louis's thoughts attracted Zhao Yuanzheng's attention.

He found that Coach Lu seemed to have a special obsession with O'Neal, so he said: "Patrick is also a veteran who has been in the league for seven seasons. It is normal to have some advantages."

"Maybe, but I don't like it when I see that bastard being so arrogant."

It will be some time before they play the Celtics. Could it be that no one except Sampson can deal with Ewing?

The reason why Louis believed that O'Neal could teach Ewing a lesson was because he saw a dynamic picture before traveling through time.

O'Neal hit Ewing with his back, knocked him down, and dunked hard.

O'Neal in that picture looks very strong, definitely from the first few seasons of his career. In his impression, O'Neal is also the kind of player who becomes a superstar when he enters the league. Unexpectedly, he met Ewing in the first game of his career.

It's so hard to fight.

In the first few minutes, the Knicks led the Magic 12-2.

Magic requests a pause.

Ewing single-handedly accounted for 8 of the Knicks' 12 points. Louis asked him to continue playing and adjusted the first and third positions.

Chris Jackson replaced Stockton and Reggie Williams replaced Wilson.

On the Magic side, another reliable center was replaced to form the twin towers with O'Neal.

The center has some connections with the Knicks.

Ronny Seikaly only played one season with the Knicks before being delisted in the expansion draft. It was precisely because of the loss of Seikaly that the Knicks' interior rotation had problems in the following seasons.

After coming to the Magic, Seikali was trained as a core player, but he had the strength but not the core qualifications, so he led the team in and out of the lottery, and finally won O'Neal.

Louis could tell O'Neal wanted to fight back on Ewing.

Ewing couldn't stop him from taking the job.

Although O'Neal is only 20 years old and is the youngest player in the league, he already has a body shape that many centers cannot build in their lifetime.

As long as he wants the throne, no one can restrict him.

Louis wants to see Ewing deflate in front of him, but as a head coach, restricting O'Neal from getting the ball is a targeted strategy that requires no hesitation.

The Knicks built a pocket formation and used Spider-Man outside to interfere with the pass.

Even if O'Neal can get a position, there will be people surrounding him like annoying flies that cannot be swatted away.

Previously it was Wilson, now it's Williams and Kemp.

Magic guard Skiles just wanted to pass the ball to O'Neal.

Because he knows that as long as the ball is passed to O'Neal, scoring is a high probability.

The seemingly safe lob is actually full of dangers.

The ball was almost stolen by Williams.

O'Neal can't pass the ball out because the Magic have no reliable three-point threat.

When he was about to attack, Kemp immediately left Sekali behind, ran towards his wing, and violently cut the ball to the ground.

"Shawn Kemp's chip shot resulted in an O'Neal turnover! The Knicks' counterattack is coming!"

Louis watched Kemp's actions and lamented the great influence Georgetown University had on its players.

Kemp's current playing style is so much like that, a complete combination of Ewing and Mourning.

An aggressive and passionate young man.

Kemp intercepted the ball and CJ received the ball and advanced.

The speed is too fast, no one can come back from the magic.

CJ passes the ball to Miller who follows.

Miller chased a three-pointer, 15-2.

Louis watched the game calmly.

Against an opponent like the Magic, it is natural to completely suppress them on both offense and defense.

Louis wouldn't be surprised by this or have any other emotions. If they were evenly matched with Magic, there would be a problem.

No matter what, this team will still be in the lottery this year, and O'Neal is the only attraction.

Seeing the Magic set up a weak-side stacked offensive formation, Louis expected that a shooter would run to the high post to receive the ball.

"Pay attention to control the high position!"

As soon as Louis finished speaking, Nick Anderson squeezed through the crowd and Kemp caught up.

That was an error of judgment on Kemp's part.

When he leaves the inside line, someone has to dislocate Seikali.

The Magic's pair of twin towers are both pure centers. It will be very difficult for Kemp to support him alone. If other non-center opponents want to fight Seikali under the basket, they will win if they are not knocked over.

Anderson wants to shake Kemp's defense.

Players with outstanding physical fitness like to jump like monkeys. Kemp is one of the few outliers. Rather than blocking the opponent's ball, he pays more attention to how the opponent's lower body moves.

As long as the opponent has no tendency to jump, his center of gravity will not change.

This is the reason why he was selected as the second defense last season. In addition to being too rough in his movements and unable to control the number of fouls he committed, as a fourth position, his defense has no shortcomings. He can defend big, small, assist, and single.

Switching defense, supplementary defense, and sweeps are all top-notch in the league.

When Anderson saw that he was unmoved, he could only force a breakthrough.

Kemp immediately attacked like a vicious dog, tearing at his center of gravity, and the two of them went to the paint area together.

Anderson hit the ball to O'Neal on the left wing.

Under Ewing's defense, O'Neal took the ball with both hands and moved first with his feet, but the referee did not react.

After that, O'Neal slammed the ball to the floor and pushed forward with all his strength.

Although Ewing is strong, there is nothing he can do about it.

O'Neal exploded into the crowd, and his amazing bullet speed and explosive power told everyone at that moment why he got so much hype in college.

Wave OM!!

There was a loud noise, and Chamberlain couldn't help but stand up and applaud him.

Only Ewing looked like he couldn't afford to lose and told the referee that O'Neal should walk.

"This guy's explosive power is beyond words, it's incredible!" O'Neal amazed Doug Moe.

Louis said with certainty: "I bet Uncle Ewing will ask for the ball back, and there is a high probability that it will be an ugly and weak jump shot!"

Louie's colleagues were accustomed to his endless ribbing about Ewing.

Those with experience are already waiting to see what Ewing will do next.

Just like what Louis said, Ewing took the initiative to initiate tactics and set up a pick-and-roll for CJ.

But his pick-and-roll didn't catch anyone, and O'Neal stayed close to him, denying him a chance to get the ball.

Ewing could only pull away to the right.

CJ passed the ball to Williams after breaking through.

Williams then transferred the ball to Ewing.

Two steps beyond the three-point line on the right, O'Neal was one meter away.

Even for Ewing, this position is a bit far.

However, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to challenge O'Neal's defense.

So he bit the bullet and forced a shot that would be kicked by Louis if it didn't go in.

"boom!"

"Are you going to your father?!" Louis' roar came as expected.

However, the competition for rebounds is unknown.

Seikali is in a good position, but Kemp's impact is surprising.

He roughly squeezed through Seikali's body and grabbed the offensive rebound while carrying Seikaly's body, which was obviously larger than his.

After landing, he first dribbled backwards. When he saw the vacuum under the Magic basket, he started forward and rushed in front of Seikali. He made the opponent think that a collision was about to happen, but he turned around and simply passed the defense before the body made contact.

The moment Kemp turned around to destroy Sekali's defense, he had already thought about what to do next.

He jumped like a spring man.

After such a sudden stop and turn, he still took off like a missile, and his furious dunk landed on the Magic basket.

Louis has seen slam dunks like this.

When Wade was in the Big Three, he once had such a dunk, and the victim was the Celtics star, Oklahoma's dog and cat, the media giant, Durant's silence warlock, James' loyal Ma Zai Pai.

Mr. Kings.

Ewing thought that Kemp would be fine if he took the blame for him.

"Look at me, then look at you!" Louis sprayed as he walked, "Can a seven-foot-tall man play ball like you? What are all the muscles for? To give the sharks a chance to fight, you bastard!"

Ewing is a smart guy. He is one of the top three centers in the league and a member of the Dream Team. He just closed the door and got sprayed. But when he was sprayed in front of everyone, he couldn't hold it in his face and forcefully retorted: "I was with him before."

Why didn't you say anything when you scored 8 points in front of me?"

"Then does his father have anything to do with you? Who can't see that John passes the ball very well? You are just sitting back and enjoying the success. You have the ability to fight back with your teammates face to face without relying on tactics!"

If Ewing had been smarter, or shown the intelligence he showed when confronting Wilson, he could have easily refuted what Louis said.

Didn't O'Neal rely on his teammates to score that goal?

However, it is well known that Uncle Ewing's dual quotient fluctuates greatly.

At this time, he still had to compete, and being sprayed by Louis made him anxious and angry, and his IQ had already been cleared.

"It's hard to imagine that the head coach of other teams treats their core players this way."

Quin Snyder has been rocking Louie for over a month.

The main reason is that Louis' attitude towards core players is neither flattering nor formal, but a parental mentality.

If there is a problem, he will definitely scold him on the spot and correct it as soon as possible.

Every time Ewing was criticized, he would do better next time.

His problem is that he has a short memory. If he remembers something tonight, he will forget it as soon as he sleeps.

Louis' encouragement to Ewing, the feedback on the court was that O'Neal's game became difficult.

When the Magic once again used a sudden break to pass the ball to O'Neal, Ewing struck hard and fouled him and sent him to the free throw line.

O'Neal also gave face, missing two free throws, and Chris Jackson hit a chasing three-pointer.

"Orlando once again requests a timeout."

There was no suspense from the beginning of the game. People were curious about how O'Neal could perform against the top three centers in the league.

When O'Neal was drafted, then-analyst Doug Collins said that the Magic needed to find a good lobster for him.

Looking at it now, this sentence is very correct.

Although Skiles has excellent passing ability, he may not be suitable for O'Neal.

Except for unicorns like Sampson and Manning who transcended the times, the other super centers in the league all rely on defenders to pass the ball. If the ball cannot be passed in, even if they have ground-breaking power, they can only be used in meaningless melee battles.

superior.
