Chapter 214
The Clippers vs. Cavaliers matchup is a game that fans have been wanting to see for months.
Now, it is finally here.
Two days later, it will be played in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. The excitement is exploding and the discussion is endless.
"It's finally here, the Clippers vs. Cavaliers matchup, there are so many highlights in this game.
Too many to count"
"How many highlights are there?"
"There are so many, let me list them one by one!
First, the matchup between the first-placed Clippers in the West and the first-placed Cavaliers in the East.
Second, the matchup between the best players of the month in the East and West, Su Hao and LeBron. Third, the monster matchup between"The Hulk" Su Hao and"The Great Shark" O'Neal.
Fourth, the battle between"the best center in active service, Su Hao" and"the best small forward in active service, LeBron."
Fifth, this matchup is like a preview of the finals!
Sixth, at the beginning of the season, the Clippers won 22 consecutive games, and when they were striving for the second longest 23-game winning streak in history, they were destroyed by the dirty Pistons.
Now.
They have won 22 consecutive games for the second time this season, and are striving for 23 consecutive games again.
Once they beat the Cavaliers, they will surpass the Rockets and create the second longest winning streak in NBA history.
One game, six highlights.
Brothers, I'm already on fire before the game even starts!!!"
"It's really good to look at.
In addition... As we all know, if you want to limit Su Hao to a certain extent in the restricted area, or even suppress Su Hao in the matchup.
This player must have a certain tonnage.
Although he is not at his peak now, O'Neal, whose tonnage is continuously increasing, seems to be able to match up with Su Hao.
Looking at the entire league.
A center who can have a tonnage of more than 300 kilograms and still maintain a certain degree of lethality in the restricted area and basketball skills.
In addition to Su Hao, there is O'Neal.
He has not played against Su Hao so far this season, maybe... he really has a chance"
"A shark may be old, but he is still a shark, and a lean camel is still bigger than a horse"
"LeBron is as versatile as a"hexagonal warrior" and Su Hao is as dominant as a"giant" in the penalty area.
The duel between these two strongest core players of the team will definitely be extremely exciting!
It is worth looking forward to!"
""Come on, game!!!"
The fans are fully expecting it.
The two teams are also eager to play against each other.
Just as the outside world has said, the competition between the two teams is likely to be a preview of the finals.
If they can feel the strength of their opponents in the regular season before the finals and defeat them once, then when they really meet in the finals, the team that wins the regular season will naturally have more confidence.
This is a good thing.
The two teams must also want to win such a duel and boost their team morale as soon as possible.
……
Two days passed in a flash.
8pm.
Staples Center.
The Clippers and Cavaliers had 30 minutes left in their game. Both teams were warming up on the court.
O'Neal took the ball and approached LeBron, saying with a smile,"Come on, guard me!!!""
""Okay!"
LeBron smiled and came to the top of the arc to defend O'Neal.
O'Neal faced LeBron and changed his hands under his crotch continuously. The speed was not too fast, but quite rhythmic. He pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand, and suddenly made a large crossover.
It felt like an answer.
LeBron obviously didn't expect O'Neal to change direction like this, and was shaken off.
O'Neal rushed in with the ball in his left hand.
But his speed was still too slow. Even though LeBron was shaken, he still chased him.
O'Neal was forced to stop, and suddenly turned from facing the basket to backing up LeBron.
He gave a back-to-back confrontation, and continuously shook his shoulders and faked, seemingly going to attack the basket.
Suddenly, he turned around and faded away.
He shook LeBron away and hit a fade away jumper.
To be honest, this shot was really cool.
How to describe O'Neal in this attack... Flexible fat man!!!
""Hahaha!"
LeBron laughed.
The players couldn't help but applaud, thinking that O'Neal's attack was quite good.
Some fans at home who saw this attack were also amazed. They didn't expect that a guy weighing more than 300 pounds could dribble like that and have such flexible footwork.
Of course, this is not the first time O'Neal has done such a thing.
On the stage of the All-Star Game, he likes to take the ball and break through from the outside.
Although his finishing level is not good, the show effect has been maximized.
This also shows from the side that although O'Neal is a strong center, his technical footwork is still very solid.
So... those who think that O'Neal is purely physical People who are talented in playing basketball don't understand O'Neal.
Play is play, and jokes are jokes.
When the warm-up time is over.
When the starting players of both sides began to play, everyone looked serious and took this game very seriously.
Yes.
This is a big battle that is a preview of the finals.
The outcome is crucial.
Both teams want to win and need to win.
Los Angeles Clippers starting lineup: Point guard: Curry, shooting guard: Gordon, small forward: Russell, power forward: David Lee, center: Su Hao.
Cleveland Cavaliers starting lineup: Point guard: Maurice Williams, shooting guard: Anthony Parker, small forward: LeBron James, power forward: JJ·Hickson, Center: Shaquille O'Neal
""Jump ball!"
The true love between Su Hao and O'Neal.
If O'Neal was at his peak, his jumping ability would still be good enough for him to compete with Su Hao.
But now, he has no qualifications.
Although he is 70-80 kg lighter than Su Hao, he can no longer jump. Or...Su Hao's talent is more powerful.
""Pah!"
Su Hao easily flicked the ball over O'Neal's head, winning the Clippers' first offensive possession of the game.
Everyone was used to it.
Su Hao and O'Neal, the Hulk and the Shark, the tonnage and power game in the interior, that was the highlight.
Curry pushed over.
Very sensible.
Satisfying the fans' fantasy, he directly passed the ball to Su Hao under the left basket, and O'Neal stuck to it.
The Hulk vs. the Shark.
The two faced off in the first attack
""Boom!"
The stadium suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers.
This was the matchup everyone wanted to see.
O'Neal weighed over 320 pounds, could he more or less withstand Su Hao's attack?
Could he perhaps limit Su Hao?!
Everyone fantasized about
"Come on, Su, let me feel your strength, and let you feel my tonnage!"
O'Neal laughed and shouted.
As he gradually entered the later stage of his career, his mentality became better and better. He went all out in every game.
But he really couldn't beat his opponent, couldn't win the game, and couldn't do things beyond his ability.
He was not discouraged.
He wanted to compete with Su Hao, but it didn't mean that he absolutely wanted to beat Su Hao in his heart.
"Feel the tonnage?"
Su Hao smiled slightly,"Big Shark, it seems that my 400-jin tonnage is heavier than yours."
"What?!"
O'Neal was stunned.
The moment Su Haoyin dropped the ball, he lowered his shoulders slightly and hit O'Neal's chest with force!
The confrontation was about to break out!!!
