Chapter 118 Fight against O'Neill! (4000, please subscribe)
At the beginning of the All-Star Game, the four major shooting guards all went into battle. Kobe played one against three, and he did not lose at all. On the contrary, his shooting percentage was even better.
However, after three or four minutes, the game entered the time period when the strikers and inside players competed with each other.
With Huo Song finishing at the basket, the difference between the Eastern and Western All-Star teams finally opened up a bit.
The Western All-Star team needs to recover the point difference, so it is basically a classical basketball style of play. The outside line lobs into the inside line, and the inside players play one-on-one at the basket. The success rate depends on personal ability.
Garnett reached for the ball first.
In fact, there are two power forwards in the western front line, and Garnett is at the small forward according to his position.
Same goes for sinking into bottom corners though.
Yao Ming and Duncan fell on the front side, Garnett occupied the weak side alone, and singled out Carter after receiving the ball.
Big Ben was worried that Carter would not be able to defend, so he hurried over to make up for it.
Garnett tried to rush to the basket, and seeing that Huo Song had a gap on the other side, he chose to pass the ball instead of making a big mid-range shot.
Garnett's caution is still justified. After receiving the ball, Duncan took a step towards the basket and dunked directly.
Huo Song served from the sideline and immediately rushed forward.
McGrady advanced quickly and rushed to shoot a three-pointer, but the ball missed. McGrady was about to kill the basket and take off to make a dunk.
I don't want Carter to take the first step, soar into the air, receive a rebound in the air, and then make a one-handed tomahawk dunk, making a fierce comparison.
It's hard to imagine that Carter, who has been stepped on, can still perform so amazingly in the All-Star Game.
If Carter has not been stepped on, what will Carter's career look like.
Having said that, Carter surprised everyone by making up the buckle this time.
The fans at the Staples Center were also surprised and cheered, and some stood up and applauded Carter continuously.
The All-Star Voting King is the All-Star Voting King, and it really lives up to its reputation!
Huo Song shared the stage with Carter, and finally felt the popularity of Carter.
I have to say that Huo Song really wanted to eat dumplings with envy.
The All-Star players in the Western Conference are all experienced. Everyone watched Carter being praised and praised by the audience, and they were not in a hurry to attack.
When the movement in the auditorium lessened, Kobe then served Francis from the sideline.
After halftime, Francis passed the ball to Yao Ming.
Now, Huo Song's pressure increased.
Fortunately, Yao Ming didn't have much energy. He tried to make a move and found that Huo Song defended him well.
Although you can try to make a shot, this is not a regular season, nor is there any old enmity. For the sake of his own people, Yao Ming didn't do it himself, but passed a high throw to Duncan on the other side.
Duncan took off to catch the ball, but he was a little bit short of staying in the air, so he didn't choose to catch and dunk.
After landing, Duncan was about to readjust his footsteps to take a shot, but Huo Song and Da Ben pinched back and forth. Huo Song reached out to block the shot, and Da Ben also found an angle to fly the racket.
It seems that Duncan is also ready to work and not work hard, leaving his strength in the regular season and playoffs.
At the same time, the rebound was grabbed by Iverson.
Usually Iverson doesn't rush to grab rebounds, but in today's All-Star Game, Iverson doesn't need to save his energy.
You can play as much as you can. After all, in the limited playing time, you have to rush to win.
Iverson grabbed the rebound and ran back immediately. The others couldn't keep up. Iverson took out his signature dunk move-gliding and smashing the basket.
There are not many opportunities for transition in the All-Star game. The main reason is that the defensive intensity is low, and the chances of stars shooting hard are small.
Now being beaten into one, Iverson's quick rebound and fast break also won the applause of the fans at the scene.
Seeing Carter and Iverson's outstanding performance, Kobe couldn't help reaching out for the ball.
Francis wanted to make Yao Ming show off, but this time he ignored Kobe and chose to break through and pass the ball to the basket.
After Yao Ming received the ball, he squeezed a step under the basket and made a small hook shot. Huo Song tried his best to block the block, but Yao Ming still couldn't do anything.
"I thought you wouldn't make a move!" Huo Song said gloomily to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming laughed and said: "Francis has already fed the ball to my mouth. If I don't throw it in, he will be angry."
"Then I deserve to be hooked by you, right?" Huo Song glanced at Yao Ming, and then immediately went forward.
Although Huo Song's low-post offensive skills are not bad, they are still flawed, and he basically doesn't use hooks.
It is reasonable to say that hooking is very simple, but actually hooking has high requirements for wrist control.
Huo Song has practiced hooks, but when playing against Da Ben's wing singles, his hit rate is usually less than [-]%.
You must know that this is just training. In the game, the physical consumption will intensify, and it will be even more difficult to control the strength and direction of the hook shot.
Huo Song also felt that the small throw was more suitable for him when he shot under physical confrontation.
However, this is also related to Huo Song's offensive habits. Huo Song relies more on his physical fitness to complete his back. He is strong enough to hit the basket and can dunk directly, and he can also dunk when he slides fast.
If the back hit can't squeeze people away, turn around and step back to shoot.
On the other hand, Yao Ming and O'Neal can hook with their backs to the basket.
One is long and the other is big, their advantages are actually something that Huo Song doesn't have.
Their small hooks are accurate, but it's because others can't guard against them.
Huo Song's height and tonnage are not something other inside players can't guard against.
Of course, it is also necessary to expand the low-post offensive means.
When Huo Song gains muscle and weight in the future and increases his dominance at the basket, he can try to use the hook to score at the basket.
After all, a hook is less effort than a dunk.
It is impossible for Huo Song to play into his 30s and still keep dunking.
Closer to home, McGrady is still a bit of a man. Huo Song was hit by Yao Ming before, and then he lobbed the ball inside and asked Huo Song to pay back.
Anyway, the two starting insiders of the Eastern All-Star team, Da Ben didn't attack much, and there was nothing wrong with passing the ball to Huo Song.
After Huo Song received the ball, he tried to hit Yao Ming with his back.
Yao Ming resisted for the first time, but gave way after the next two.
They are all his own people, so Huo Song didn't have a tough dunk.
Taking advantage of Duncan's lack of defense, he hit the board directly and scored the ball.
After that, both sides basically hit the basket, and the points rose very quickly.
Nine minutes into the first quarter, it was already 9-30.
The West All-Stars recovered some points in the stretch, and the East All-Stars led by just 3 points.
Because the official timeout has entered, the starting players of the two teams have played for a long time, and the coaches of both sides also replaced the substitute players reasonably.
In the East, Kidd, Pierce, Artest, O'Neal and Jamal Magloire were on the bench, and Baron Davis and Kenyon Martin were still on the bench.
The West replaced Cassell, Ray Allen, Kirilenko, Nowitzki and O'Neal.
Brad Miller and Peja were not on the bench.
They are all All-Stars, but there is a gap between All-Star substitutes and All-Star substitutes.
The Eastern All-Star team is obviously not the opponent of the Western All-Star team.
When the game restarted, O'Neal rampaged in the penalty area and scored two goals in a row.
Jamal Magloire doesn't look much smaller than O'Neill, but just like a toy, O'Neal exerts a little force, and Jamal Magloire is squeezed away.
Kidd wanted to link up with other substitute players, but everyone tried their hand, one person, one ball, and the first quarter was over.
Looking at the game, 34 to 36, the Western All-Star team came from behind and overtook the score.
Larry Brown said before the game that this game must be won, so in the second quarter, he simply removed the bench and replaced most of the starters.
And before winning, no matter what, give the remaining two substitute players a chance.
Ever since, the lineup of the Eastern All-Star team became Baron Davis, Carter, Kenyon Martin, Big Ben and Huo Song.
Every position can be defended, even defenders can defend it.
"Byron, we agreed in advance that you have to pass the ball to me."
"Don't worry, I know. We will play an unparalleled cooperation!"
Huo Song played side by side with Baron Davis, and when he got the answer from the bearded man, Huo Song's blood was finally able to boil.
Huo Song took 4 shots in the first quarter. Although he scored 8 points, he still had little possession of the ball.
If it weren't for Big Ben to pass the ball to Huo Song, Huo Song would have less possession of the ball.
And McGrady, who is in charge of the ball, took 9 shots in 6 minutes of the first quarter, including a lot of strikes.
In the second quarter, McGrady didn't play, and the bearded man controlled the ball. Huo Song was finally able to let go and proceed as planned.
After playing in the second quarter, the Western All-Stars launched the first attack.
Cassell passed the ball to O'Neal under the basket, and Huo Song stepped forward immediately, and then Big Ben also stood in the position of assisting defense.
Larry Brown has long expected that O'Neal will continue to stay on the court, and Yao Ming, the starting center for the Western All-Stars, is just a false starter.
If the Pistons want to have ideas for the finals this season, and if they want to blossom and bear fruit, they must solve O'Neal.
If you want to ensure that you beat O'Neal and the Lakers, it is necessary to try more.
This All-Star Game has become a practice field for taking defensive measures against O'Neal.
Huo Song directly defended O'Neal seriously, which also caused O'Neal who had just come up to suffer a dull loss.
Although Huo Song was pushed away by O'Neill at once, Da Ben stopped him immediately.
O'Neill's old strength has gone and his new strength has not improved. If he wants to take off and shoot, he can't use his core strength and can only rely on his upper body strength to make a shot.
O'Neill knew it was time to make a move, otherwise Huo Song would have to defend again.
Ever since, after confronting the big body, he immediately made a small hook shot.
But O'Neal's attack this time is tantamount to one hitting two, eating two people's physical confrontation in a row. O'Neal's small hook shot under the basket is not so sure.
The basketball bounced on the rim, and finally bounced out again with a bump.
Huo Song grabbed the rebound, but was stabbed from behind by Duncan.
The ball was thrown away, but fortunately Huo Song had a long hand and brought the ball back.
O'Neill and Duncan were still chasing the ball, trying to pick it up and attack again, but Huo Song staggered two steps, then dribbled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt.
In the All-Star Game, everyone doesn't have to worry too much about the problem of defensive misplacement. The Western All-Stars saw Huo Song coming out from the inside, and they all took gamble steals to try to get the ball back.
Probably because he didn't expect that Huo Song's ball control level was not bad. After the steal failed, Huo Song easily went to the front basket by himself.
Then half a step outside the free throw line, three big steps to take off and dunk with a tomahawk.
Huo Song won some applause, but it was not as sensational as expected.
Next, O'Neal continued to attack in the low position. Although he was prepared, Huo Song stepped forward and pushed O'Neal, which also slightly hindered O'Neal.
Against the defense of Huo Song and Da Ben, O'Neal scored two goals in one hit.
Huo Song took a sharp breath to relieve the pain in his chest.
And O'Neill had to take a breather to speed up his recovery.
"You two guys are getting serious so quickly? Let me ask you, do you have the ability to fight against the great Shaq?" O'Neal taunted actively with his mouth pouting.
Huo Song ignored O'Neill, but picked up the ball and sent it to Baron Davis.
"Can you pick and roll with me on the sideline? I want to overwhelm O'Neal!"
Knowing that Huo Song had such an idea, Baron Davis immediately said: "No problem! I will cooperate with you in all tactics, come on, brother!"
The sideline pick-and-roll tactic is Huo Song's best tactic. This tactic is simple, but it is really easy to use.
The pick-and-roll tactic is originally the most effective tactic for the cooperation of stars, and it is even more terrifying to use the pick-and-roll in the All-Star game.
Huo Song came to the sideline to cooperate with Baron Davis in the pick-and-roll.
Baron Davis didn't give the ball at the first time, but took a step towards the basket and watched Huo Song follow up before giving it.
Huo Song did not disappoint Baron Davis. Even though O'Neill got out of defense and stood up in advance to confront Huo Song physically, Huo Song still knocked O'Neal away with the impact of his run-up and jump, and then adjusted a little in the air. Toss shot.
"Go in! This ball is really difficult!"
"There is no two plus one, but Huo Song really played beautifully."
"Shaq should be serious, this defense is prepared.
Huo Song's attack was also prepared, this confrontation should be a real fight.
We can see that Huo Song's body is really good! "
In the face of O'Neal's prepared defense, Huo Song still relied on his body to rush away, and he was able to complete the shot in the air and put the ball into the basket, which is even more remarkable.
After being hit by Huo Song, O'Neill couldn't hold back his face, and continued to ask for the ball to hit Huo Song in the low post.
However, Huo Song is not an idiot either. He also paid tuition for the first two defenses.
O'Neill beats him casually like this every time, Huo Song doesn't want to lose face?
O'Neill was going to continue to push away Huo Song with his body, but Huo Song was prepared and chose to withdraw the stool.
It's a pity that O'Neal is also a veteran, and he didn't lose his strength and fell to the ground. Instead, he turned around and came to the penalty area, facing the basket sideways.
Seeing that O'Neal was going to make a hook shot, Huo Song immediately jumped up and reached out to block the shot.
O'Neal was not in a hurry, and turned back again, ready to make a close shot.
Huo Song was played by O'Neill again this time, but Huo Song is not fighting alone!
"This is a no-fly zone! Big fly!"
Big Ben yelled out familiar lines and slapped O'Neill in the face!
Snapped--
Hitting the ball with his hands together, O'Neill's dark hands instantly turned red.
"Fack, this is the All-Star, you two are too much!" O'Neill said angrily.
