Chapter 116 One Word: Hit!

At the Air Canada Centre, after the timeout, looking at O'Neal standing in front of him like a "fool"...

O'Neal immediately felt a slight offense.

Wait...

Weren't they supposed to "chop the head" and then "cut off the tail" of the shark?

Originally, before the game started, O'Neal had already prepared himself mentally to be surrounded by a group of "professional Shaq-hackers."

However, what O'Neal never expected was...

That after only a little more than 4 minutes into the first quarter, the scene he had been worried about not only didn't happen, but the Raptors even took out Big Ben, the only one he thought could actually play!

Heh...

If he had to use a four-character idiom to describe O'Neal's mood at this time, it would probably be:

"Smiling without saying a word."

But...

On the court, just as O'Neal was about to use his overwhelming power to tell O'Neal that the NBA's restricted area was not a place for elementary school students like him...

Quick as lightning, a figure flashed through, and the Lakers' defense was instantly torn in half.

Competing with O'Neal in strength?

O'Neal wasn't that foolish.

On the court, after the timeout, the Raptors attacked. O'Neal had no desire to enter the restricted area at all. He went directly to the high post to screen for Nash.

Then, just as Nash broke through the Lakers' defense, O'Neal had already retreated to the top of the arc.

This was an area that O'Neal had to reach with a "dieting" mindset.

But unfortunately, in order to conserve energy, O'Neal clearly didn't want to go out to defend this ball.

Just...

If it were normal, Horry and Rice might have been able to delay and disrupt the opponent's center.

But at this moment, in order to keep up with Su Feng, Horry was already dizzy from being chased around.

And Rice...

Logically speaking, even if Carter's outside shooting percentage was average after the start of this season, Rice couldn't just leave Carter completely open, right?

So, at the top of the arc, O'Neal shot this high-post jump shot just like he did in training.

Compared to Su Feng's pass just now, Nash's pass after the breakthrough was simply perfect in O'Neal's eyes.

Whether it was the power of the pass or the timing...

All O'Neal needed to do was smoothly shoot the basketball.

Swish!

9 to 10.

Speaking of which, as a young player who was still managing the water dispenser last season, O'Neal had never felt such an easy score as he did tonight.

So...

Scoring is such a simple thing?

Just like...

Drinking water.

While retreating on defense, O'Neal, whose confidence had increased, slapped palms with Nash, who had just licked his palm, and said, "Steve, can you pass me the ball a few more times? I feel like my touch is very good."

Hearing this, Nash smiled and said, "Then you have to stay focused, because I might pass the ball to you at any time."

O'Neal nodded with a憨 smile and said, "Understood!"

On the court, back on offense, the Lakers attacked.

Although O'Neal was caught off guard by O'Neal's sneak attack, conversely, it was obviously unrealistic for the Raptors to rely on O'Neal to defend O'Neal one-on-one.

Bang, bang, bang!

O'Neal, who received the ball in the low post for the first time tonight, pushed O'Neal aside with three strokes.

Then, what followed was an earth-shattering...

...Shaq Dunk!

Slam!

11 to 10.

Honestly, if the NBA hadn't improved the quality of the rims in recent years, Su Feng felt that O'Neal's dunk might have shattered the backboard and the rim together.

What amazing power.

But...

So what?

At the Air Canada Centre, before O'Neal could arrogantly celebrate after landing, the Raptors had already quickly inbounded the ball and launched a transition offense.

Because they knew that the Raptors were very good at this kind of unreasonable counterattack, the other four Lakers players besides O'Neal retreated very quickly at this time.

But...

On the court, just as O'Neal noticed a tall figure leap past him, it was too late for this fathead fish to remind his teammates.

At that moment, O'Neal felt as if he saw the eighteen-year-old version of himself from O'Neal's back!

Then, a super long-distance bounce pass from Nash!

Thump, slap!

In the Lakers' restricted area, O'Neal, who had already rushed into the Lakers' hinterland, never imagined that even if he concentrated 180% of his attention, he still couldn't see Nash's passing route!

This ball...

How exactly did it come over?

And the scariest thing was that even if O'Neal didn't notice Nash's pass, it didn't matter...

Because...

All he needed was a hand.

This was simply a pass with built-in navigation.

It not only successfully predicted O'Neal's forward route, but also, after bouncing off the ground, it came to a position where O'Neal could catch the ball most comfortably.

In addition, it also led O'Neal smoothly to complete his run-up and jump.

In Su Feng's previous life, Amare Stoudemire, nicknamed "Little Overlord," was able to do whatever he wanted on the opponent's inside and outside lines, which was inseparable from Nash's well-timed passes.

On the court, catching the ball and slamming it down, O'Neal's fast break was as smooth as flowing water.

11 to 12.

"Wow, O'Neal runs really fast. O'Neal hasn't even had time to run back yet." Zhang 指导, who was responsible for the commentary on 大天朝 TV, said with a smile.

"O'Neal has already scored 6 points tonight.

I have to say, Coach Davis is indeed a coach with unique vision.

Because this summer, when he traded back for O'Neal, Coach Davidson said that O'Neal has the potential to become an All-Star player." Sun 指导 also echoed.

"So, a thousand-mile horse must also meet a Bole (a connoisseur of talent) to be a thousand-mile horse. Look, this season, Larry Brown has ruined Iverson." Zhang 指导 joked.

The camera returned to the Air Canada Centre.

On the court, after O'Neal scored four consecutive points, O'Neal was a little unhappy.

Because in his opinion, he was actually fooled by a "kid"?

He, the majestic tyrant of Los Angeles!

How could he tolerate O'Neal making a fool of himself in front of him?

However...

On the court, before O'Neal could angrily rush into the Raptors' low post, his lovely Pippen had already raised his sword and rushed to Su Feng's side.

O'Neal: "..."

Wait, my dear Pippen, you should give me the low post!

Swish!

You might not believe it, but Kobe was simply godlike tonight.

On the court, after hitting another super-difficult fadeaway, he had already scored 8 points, shooting 4 for 4 tonight!

13 to 12.

And now, O'Neal, who originally wanted to talk to Kobe about the low post problem, had to smile and give Kobe a thumbs up.

Good... good job, Kobe!

The game continued, the Raptors attacked.

This time, although O'Neal didn't give O'Neal a chance to use his speed to score directly, after Nash and O'Neal formed a pick-and-roll, O'Neal still had to watch O'Neal shoot a three-pointer from a distance far away from him in despair...

Swish!

O'Neal's touch was indeed as hot as he had told Nash.

13 to 15.

This was O'Neal's 9th point tonight!

The first quarter hadn't even passed halfway yet, and O'Neal had already scored 9 points.

What efficiency was this?

O'Neal, whose confidence was growing, began to imitate Su Feng's signature celebration after making a shot.

Thump, thump, thump!

Hammering his chest three times was to tell his opponents that his strength had nothing to do with his looks.

And roaring to the sky was to vent the depression of the past three years in Portland.

Three years!

How many three years does a person have in their life?

Now, the three-year period had expired, and he, O'Neal, had finally been brought back to the Su family!

Bah!

Now, the three-year period had expired, and he, O'Neal, had finally met a group of teammates who were willing to believe in him.

Looking at the championship banner on the dome, O'Neal made up his mind at that moment that he must win another championship banner for this Raptors team!

On the court, looking at this呆萌 little憨憨, O'Neal, who had unspeakable suffering, had to hide his anger in his heart.

Because Kobe's touch was very good tonight, the "Zen Master" did instruct the Lakers players to pass the ball to Kobe more often during the timeout.

After all, having had experience playing against them last season, Jackson knew that O'Neal's stamina could not support him in maintaining high efficiency in the confrontation with the Raptors.

Therefore, in the "Zen Master's" opinion, there was nothing wrong with letting O'Neal rest for a while and recharge his energy when Kobe could stand up.

On the court, the Lakers attacked, on the wing, this was the fifth PK between Su Feng and Kobe tonight.

This time, Su Feng didn't even give Kobe a chance to hit a miracle shot.

After pretending to be passed by Kobe, Su Feng, who had been trailing Kobe all the way, directly used his big hand to slam Kobe's layup away just as Kobe was about to take off for a layup!

This was a block that couldn't be bloodier!

However, as an unkillable cockroach, although his basketball dream was blown away by Su Feng, the tenacious Kobe quickly got up after struggling to regain the second landing point and completed the shot again with no emotion!

However, under Su Feng's exaggerated jumping reaction, the basketball in Kobe's hand had just left his hand when it was blocked by Su Feng again!

Amazing wingspan and exaggerated bounce!

This wave...

This wave was simply like Kirilenko's four consecutive blocks on Kobe in the future.

However, Su Feng was not AK47, but QBZ95!

On the court, after Su Feng blocked Kobe's second offensive attempt out of bounds, the entire Air Canada Centre erupted with deafening cheers.

Many Raptors fans sitting on the sidelines with VIP seats even mocked Kobe: "Shoot! If you have the ability, shoot again!"

On the court, Kobe, who had been given two consecutive blocks by Su Feng, naturally couldn't let it go after being provoked by the fans in the stands.

So, after receiving the baseline ball passed by his teammate, Kobe suddenly completed a handsome turnaround.

This was a high-difficulty fadeaway and a quick draw!

In Kobe's opinion, even Su Feng could not...

"!!!"

What was impossible?

In Su Feng's dictionary, there was no such word as impossible!

Just as Kobe knew him well, in this current league, who dared to say that he knew Kobe better than himself?

Under normal circumstances, Kobe's high-difficulty turnaround quick fadeaway was indeed difficult to block.

But this time, Su Feng, who had predicted in advance that Kobe would grab the shot, had already set up his stance early on the side!

Then...

There was no then.

Su Feng's big hand directly slapped Kobe's shot into Nash's hands!

3 consecutive blocks!

This was the NBA's best defensive player!

On the court, Nash, who got the ball, quickly launched a counterattack.

This time, O'Neal retreated quickly and worked hard, but...

Just as he thought Nash would pass the ball to O'Neal, who was fast-breaking with him again, Nash's left hand, which was about to pass the ball, magically pulled the ball back!

As a player who was good at organizing the team's offense, Nash was not the kind of point guard who only knew how to pass the ball.

This was also the biggest difference between him and Stockton.

That was, when the team needed Nash to score, he could also score efficiently.

Bang, swish!

This was a飘逸 wind-like layup.

Before the entire Lakers team could react, Nash's layup had already kissed the backboard intimately, and then bounced into the net.

13 to 17.

The Raptors were about to gain momentum!

On the Lakers' bench, after hesitating for 0.1 seconds, the "Zen Master" did not call a timeout in order to maintain his persona.

On the court, the Lakers attacked, and at this moment, there were no fans sitting and watching the game at the Air Canada Centre.

It was said that watching games cost electricity, but watching Raptors games was more than just costing electricity?

At this moment, countless eyes were watching Kobe, who was responsible for holding the ball.

And the cheers that filled the arena were neither for Su Feng nor for the Raptors.

Go, Kobe!

If you have the ability, try playing Su Feng again!

As the saying goes, O'Neal could endure it, but Kobe couldn't.

On the court, facing the provocation of the fans in the stands, it wasn't that Kobe wanted to pry off the pass button.

But as a real man, how could he, Kobe, retreat at this time?

Did they really think of him, Kobe, as Carter?

Thump, thump, thump!

After using his signature crotch dribble to continuously sway, Kobe, like a nimble black mamba, slipped into the Raptors' restricted area!

This time, in order to avoid having his basketball dream blown away by Su Feng, Kobe leaped into the air after arriving in the Raptors' hinterland, preparing to choose to end the offensive with a one-handed tomahawk!

However, who told Kobe that dunking wouldn't be blocked?

From the side, a figure took off at the same time as Kobe, and then, just as that figure rose to the highest point, a big hand pressed hard on Kobe's right hand holding the ball.

Originally, Kobe had a chance to dunk this ball in with the person and the ball...

Because as the active offensive party, who knew how hard he was exerting force when dunking this ball?

Just...

At the critical moment, Kobe's "handicap" ultimately limited him.

This dunk, Kobe dunked into the air.

And the basketball that had been in his hand had long since quietly rolled out of bounds.

At the Air Canada Centre, accompanied by the referee's signal that this was a baseline ball, the entire stadium roared like an earthquake, shouting:

"MVP————!!"

"MVP————!!"

"MVP————!!"

"Oh, if I'm not mistaken, Su has blocked Kobe four times in the past two defensive possessions!" Smith, who saw this scene, commented on TNT.
