Standing pretty old

Chapter 536

As a former superstar, O'Neill is of course unwilling to give in to old age.

The speed at which Ruan Erniu rose to fame was too fast, and the results and statistics he obtained made people feel unmatched, which undoubtedly hurt the hearts of the older generation of centers.

The center forward also pays attention to inheritance. Howard is really not a superstar in low-post offense. On the contrary, Kraft Nguyen, a foreigner, came from behind and became the league's number one center, which made Shaquille O'Neal very dissatisfied.

But O'Neill himself is very clear that he is no longer that omnipotent big diesel engine.

Now he is only fighting for honor, facing the young Celestial Man, he is not fully sure of defeating his opponent.

Last season, O'Neal, who was in a state of injury and carelessness, was beaten by Kraft Nguyen. The old shark knew very well what terrifying energy this celestial bull possessed in his body.

The old shark understands that it is impossible to defeat the opponent head-to-head by relying on strength, so first use words to provoke, and then continue to stimulate the opponent in the game, so that he loses his calm and loses his position, so that he has the best chance of defeating this peak state bull.

Ruan Erniu didn't seem to expect that O'Neill would talk trash directly at him, but in the next second, he immediately shot back: "Old guy, are you just showing off your own words? Then you should retire early and go to the commentary booth." , instead of remaining in the arena of men!"

Just talking about it, the two bulls don't boo O'Neill at all. After all, he is a black-bellied man of Taurus, how could he lose to the happy fat man of Pisces.

Ruan Erniu held the ball in a low post, and the first match between the two super centers began tonight.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"

O'Neill is O'Neill, and if he wanted to drive away this big fat man, it would take Er Niu more physical strength, so after only two steps, Ruan Er Niu immediately passed O'Neill with a light turn.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

In addition to Ruan Erniu, Stoudemire, who defended on the other side, also flew up.

Now the Eagles have already become the target of public criticism. Since losing to the tall and fast duo of the Nuggets, other teams have adopted similar measures in defense against Kraft Nguyen, even if they are completely empty in the middle distance. The lunar eclipse also prevents the Celestials from directly attacking the basket.

The head coach of the Suns, Terry Porter, obviously also learned from the tactics of the Nuggets, resolutely arranged supplementary defenses and pinch defenses in the low post, and was ready to block Kraft Nguyen's attack on the basket at any time.

"boom!"

After all, Ruan Erniu took a step faster, his arms and wrists accelerated and pressed down, and Erniu completed the buckle against Stoudemire.

Regrettably, tonight's referee was selectively blind and did not give Er Niu an extra penalty for the away game.

"FOUL!"

Er Niu slapped his wrist to indicate that the opponent's thug had fouled. After complaining to no avail, Er Niu immediately ran to the backcourt to defend the position.

The Suns' offensive end is also in the low post.

Ruan Erniu and Shaquille O'Neill were fighting against each other, and Stoudemire's mid-range was quite accurate. Lunar Eclipse didn't dare to double-team O'Neal, so Ruan Erniu had to deal with the big shark alone.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"

A low-level monster like O'Neill also has historical-level P shares. Faced with O'Neill's hip attack, a brute force monster like Ruan Erniu has to fight and retreat.

The shark broke into the restricted area!
One and a half turns around, feinting, stepping forward, and smashing the buckle with one hand!

Classic shark pace, classic shark style of play, the pinnacle of low post violence aesthetics, an unstoppable big diesel engine!
This is the center power that ruled an era.

Even in the twilight of his career, O'Neal is still the undisputed low-post dominant monster.

This is the demeanor of the 50 superstars, and he is hardly the same person as the lazy guy who was eating and resting last season.

Ruan Erniu felt his blood boil!
Not because he was humiliated by being dunked, but because he was really excited for such a competition!
Being able to fight against such a powerful opponent, he felt that he could continue to become stronger, achieve his ambitions, and become a unique existence in basketball history.

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Ruan Erniu anxiously asked for the ball from Bibby, and successfully received Bibby's pass at the corner.

"brush!"

Without any pause, Er Niu caught the ball and hit a straight arm mid-range shot from 18 feet.

O'Neal can't get out at all, he doesn't have the speed.

This is definitely not good news for the Sharks. If the Celestials have been fighting with him in the low post, O'Neal can at least win a chance to explode each other, but once the Celestials raise the mid-range shot, his increasingly clumsy body , must not be able to keep up with the speed of Kafu Nguyen's defender.

"Are you afraid? Boy of the Celestial Dynasty, the center forward should fight in the low position!" O'Neill continued provocatively.

Ruan Erniu supported O'Neal behind him, and said, "Come on, you can pounce if you have the ability. Also, have you forgotten how you were played by Olajuwon back then?"

O'Neill was also angry, and he once again thought of the despair of being ruled by Olajuwon.

Another low post, another unreasonable hip attack, O'Neal cuts inside, immediately followed by a tentative step and a fake, and then followed by a reverse hook.

Also hit!

This is O'Neal. If you naively think that this fat man has become a "four major centers" by relying on strength alone, you are very wrong. , Horry, Fox and other players, this is the glory of the Lakers dynasty.

"Olajuwon is more than 6 feet 7 inches!" O'Neal taunted and ran towards the half court with bully steps.

But Ruan Erniu is faster!
Bibby sent the baseline ball, Er Niu did not choose to pass back, but suddenly held the ball forward, all the way into the inside of the sun.

This is obviously an unexpected move, although the Eagles are used to seeing Ruan Erniu doing this!
Powerful people are always self-willed!
Ruan Erniu flew up directly, taking advantage of O'Neill and Stoudemire's unsteady footing, he directly dunked with both hands, completing an anti-gravity dunk.

Er Niu slapped the rebound, flew down from the basket, and said with a smile: "Hey, Shaq! Is Olajuwon faster than me?"

The two super centers are discussing Olajuwon on the surface, but they are actually belittling their opponents and elevating themselves.

Relatively speaking, O'Neill is still at a disadvantage. Although he is showing off his power in the low position, he is jaw-droppingly powerful, but after a few rounds, Ruan Erniu, who can run and jump, is obviously more advantageous.

The basketball game is not static. Both sides are constantly moving and confronting. In comparison, Ruan Erniu, who is young and able to attack the opponent, is definitely more difficult to defend.

However, it was the Suns at home that took the lead in the first quarter at 22:31.

Ruan Erniu scored 12 points and 10 rebounds in a double-double in a single quarter. On the scene, he still surpassed O'Neal with 8 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, but the other main players of the Hawks performed poorly.

囧囧sen made 6 of 1 shots, Bibby made 3 of 0 shots, and Lunar Eclipse made 5 of 1 shots. The poor performance of his teammates made Ruan Erniu helpless. Although he was young and strong in the confrontation with historical centers, he still dominated the field. up the peak.

Zhang Lili said in the studio: "Er Niu performed very well, but the overall feeling of the Eagles today is not good. In the second quarter, more people need to stand up to share the scoring pressure for Er Niu, otherwise the Eagles will be in danger."

Teacher Sun Zhenping was even more blunt: "The other players of the Eagles have been dragging their feet. They should adjust their status as soon as possible, and don't play like garbage players..."

Zhang Lili: "..."

Come on, those sitting on the bench are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a year!
