Chapter 365 The Attacking O'Neill

"Meng, come again." After the first play after the restart of the game failed to be completed, on the next second play, when Jamal Tinsley dribbled the ball through half court, just handed the basketball to Meng Xu At that time, Jermaine O'Neal, who was still not fully settled inside, reached out to Meng Xu who was dribbling for the ball.

Seeing Jermaine O'Neal's request, Meng Xu did not hesitate. After making a fake move to break through, he directly hoisted the basketball to Jermaine O'Neal inside.The protagonist of this game was originally Jermaine O'Neal, so since he asked for the ball, Meng Xu naturally would not refuse.

When Jermaine O'Neal held the ball on the edge of the paint, Antoine Walker immediately pushed up from behind him, and Tony Batty also got to the basket before Lorenzen Waitka, eyeing it. Jermaine O'Neal with his back and the ball.In the previous half of the game, although Tony Batty did not score, he had 3 blocked shots and 4 rebounds. For Tony Batty, who averaged just over 1 blocked shot per game, this game can be regarded as one. A rare dumpling.

When Antoine Walker faced Jermaine O'Neal, his height and strength were not dominant, and defense was not Antoine Walker's strong point. In this game, although Antoine Walker still couldn't stop Jermaine O'Neal, But in almost every defense, Antoine Walker and Tony Batty's defensive connection is very good. As long as Antoine Walker loses his position, Tony Batty will immediately step forward to defend him.And Jermaine O'Neal also has a lot of problems on the offensive end. After getting rid of Antoine Walker by relying on his back, Jermaine O'Neal was eager to end the offense with a hook or a shot, but his shot arc was too wide. Low, always blocked or interfered by Tony Batty who was prepared in advance.

There is nothing to say about Jermaine O'Neal's talent. When he entered high school, Jermaine O'Neal, who was only 1 meters tall, had always been a guard on the field. O'Neal's height has grown by more than 9 centimeters, reaching 10 meters, and then Jermaine O'Neal began to play power forward. An inside player with guard skills is crazy to think about, and it is precisely because of this The reason is that Jermaine O'Neal has become a well-known talent player in the United States from obscurity, and entered the NBA after graduating from high school.

The current Jermaine O'Neal, although after continuous weight gain, has lost the light footsteps and perverted movement speed of the year, but even so, Jermaine O'Neal's speed and jumping are among the most inside players in today's NBA. Among them, it is still the top group, relying on excellent movement speed and defensive awareness, Jermaine O'Neal has become a very good defender and shot blocker.

But offense has always been a big problem for Jermaine O'Neal. Since he is an insider from a guard, Jermaine O'Neal always habitually floats outside on the offensive end, and occasionally shoots a few 3-pointers. Outstanding, but the low singles ability is appalling, not to mention super insiders like O'Neal and Duncan, in the Pacers' training game, it is difficult for Lorenzen White to play back singles.At the same time, Jermaine O'Neal averaged 18.7 points per game. Although he is the Pacers' second scorer, his shooting percentage is only 47%, which is the lowest among the Pacers' five starters.

Perhaps Jermaine O'Neal is also aware of this problem. From the second half of the regular season, Jermaine O'Neal is also looking for changes, but the way he changes is not to train low-post offense and go to the basket more, but to watch Video, that's right, watching video.As long as he has time, Jermaine O'Neal will get into the video room of the Pacers Club, and even often borrow video tapes to watch at home. The top power forwards in the league, Duncan, Webber, Garnett, Nowitzki , their tactical play, and the Pacers coaching staff's technical analysis of them, Jermaine O'Neal has watched it countless times.

It is also from the frequency of Jermaine O'Neal borrowing videotapes that Meng Xu analyzed that Jermaine O'Neal is imitating Garnett's style of play. Garnett, who was abused by O'Neal and Duncan last season , when the Timberwolves faced the Lakers and Spurs this season, Garnett suddenly had the power to fight back. He even fought inextricably with O'Neal Duncan in a few games. He was always proud and vowed to punch Duncan, Jermaine O'Neal who played O'Neal, naturally began to study and imitate Garnett's style of play, especially the video tapes of the Timberwolves and Lakers-Spurs games, until now Jermaine O'Neal has not returned it .

Although Jermaine O'Neal and Garnett are players with excellent movement, jumping and explosive power, Meng Xu does not think that Garnett's style of play is necessarily suitable for the current Jermaine O'Neal. Garnett, Jermaine O'Neal is a bit heavier, and he should learn more from Duncan, not Garnett.However, with the Pacers' current tactics, if Jermaine O'Neal can really have an excellent mid-range and long-range shot like Garnett, then the Pacers' tactical adaptability will be more perfect.It is also based on this idea that neither Meng Xu nor Larry Bird interfered with Jermaine O'Neill's self-change, but were still secretly promoting his change and improvement.

When Jermaine O'Neal leaned against Antoine Walker with his back again, Jermaine O'Neal first used the corner of his eye to observe Tony Batty's position, and then, as in the previous game, ruthlessly Going towards Walker behind him, Jermaine O'Neal first made a posture to turn around and shoot after realizing that the back was empty. After attracting the defense of Tony Batty, Jermaine O'Neal immediately used His own footsteps and movement swayed away Tony Batty who rushed past the block, and then made a small step-back jumper.

"YES!" After watching the basketball he shot hit, Jermaine O'Neal clenched his right hand and waved it excitedly. He finally succeeded. After watching Garnett's game video countless times, Jermaine O'Neill Maine O'Neal finally completed a very successful Garnett-style attack in the game.

"Jermaine is too soft on the offensive end!" After successfully scoring a goal, Jermaine O'Neal seems to have built up his confidence and began to use this kind of low back turn jumper continuously. The edge of the zone extends to the area above the free throw line, and even improvised a 3-pointer from the bottom corner, watching Jermaine O'Neal, who seemed to be a different person after the timeout, Michaels in the commentary, at this moment But he frowned. Jermaine O'Neal's physical fitness is better than Chris Webber, Nowitzki, and even Garnett. Going to attack the basket and practice low post singles, but to play jump shots away from the basket is simply crooked. I really don't know what Larry Bird thinks. It seems that he is very satisfied with his performance.

"Al, you won't understand these things that are deeper than tactics, hahahaha..." Looking at his partner as if he couldn't figure it out, Magic Johnson didn't Give him a detailed explanation, but instead molested him with words from the sidelines. In fact, Magic Johnson didn’t quite understand why Larry Bird did this at first, but when Jermaine O’Neal hit the 3-pointer from the bottom corner, the Magic Shi Johnson suddenly realized that in a team with Meng Xu as the core, a power forward with excellent mobility and the ability to pull out for mid-range and long-range shots is far more threatening than a regular insider.
