NBA: Sharks cry, can't stand this center

O'Neal's peak period is very long, and he is currently at the peak of his career.

but...

To say that O'Neal was the peak, it should be the 99-00 season. In the post-Jordan era, O'Neal in that season was almost invincible, and he was a well-deserved No.1 in the league.

And Kobe has also grown into the league's top scorer.

That is, in that season, the Lakers started their three-peat championship journey. If they hadn't met Wei Guo in the 2001-02 season, they would really be able to complete the three-peat feat.

In recent years, the league has also seen two top inside players, Duncan and Wei Guo.

O'Neal's limelight has been overshadowed by Wei Guo, but O'Neal still averaged 27.7 points and 11.1 rebounds per game this season.

Kobe has become a super giant, and O'Neal is still at the peak of his career. This is the last hope for the Lakers to win the championship... If they can't win this season, the championship will be farther and farther away from them.

........

Putting aside these messy thoughts, O'Neal returned to the court.

Lakers offense.

Kobe held the ball at the top of the arc and lobbed it to O'Neal at the basket.

O'Neal received the ball, pushed Dayao away with his body, and shot with a small hook.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

32:35! ! !

The Lakers lead by 3 points.

After O'Neal scored, he ran to the backcourt. Having experienced the finals of last season, O'Neal matured a lot. He would speak harshly to Wei Guo, but he didn't talk trash to Dayao.

and...

Ma Long was dealt with badly by Wei Guo this season.

Everyone knows the reason... Wei Guo really takes care of Dayao, a little brother. When playing against the Rockets, players would rather face Wei Guo directly than deliberately bully Dayao.

The Rockets attack.

Wei Guo moved to the weak side to attract the defensive attention of the Lakers. Yao gave Francis a pick-and-roll, then retreated to the three-point line to receive a pass from Francis, and made a mid-range shot.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hit the net.

This is Dayao's response to O'Neal. He is not as dominant at the basket as O'Neal, but he has a precise mid-range shot.

Gentry smiled, "Dayao is no longer a rookie who just entered the league. He and Brother Wei have learned to talk with the ball."

"Dayao is an excellent center forward."

The assistant coach also said: "He will definitely make a name for himself in this league."

Huaxia has already had four players enter the league. Yao's performance is worthy of the No. [-] pick, while the performances of Dazhi and Daba are a little less interesting.

The two are very envious of Dayao...

It's not that I envy him being the No. [-] pick, but I envy that Dayao is by Weiguo's side, and that Weiguo can help Dayao grow up.

.........

The playoffs in the Western Conference were brutal.

After winning the Jazz, they will face the Lakers with an 'ok combination'. If they pass the Lakers level, they will face the Spurs or the Kings in the Western Conference Finals. These two teams are tough.

Hear from the experts...

This year's Western Conference champion is the championship.

.........

The Rockets and the Lakers fought fiercely in the first half.

50:50! ! !

At the end of the first half, the two teams tied.

Wei Guo was the last one to return to the locker room, and he was almost choked out as soon as he entered.

"Why is it so spicy?"

Wei Guo frowned and looked towards the kitchen.

Gentry wore an apron and was tinkering with the spatula in the kitchen. In just a few minutes, Gentry brought out a plate of red fried peppers, "Everyone, come and taste my craftsmanship!"

"Chili fried chili?"

"This is too choking..."

"It looks ruthless, coach, what do you want to do?"

The players gathered around a plate of fried peppers, chattering.

Gentry handed over a stack of chopsticks, "I see that everyone was depressed in the first half, so I fried a plate of chili for you to refresh yourself. This is specially brought by my friends in Huaxia. It is really super spicy and addictive. "

Everyone looked at Dayao and Weiguo.

The two of them are from China, and Lao Jin emphasized that they brought the chili from China, so they should taste it first.

"Huaxia cuisine is extensive and profound, you know too little."

Wei Guo rolled his eyes, picked up a large piece of chili with his chopsticks, "Well...not bad, sweet and sour."

The Rockets always go to Chinese restaurants for dinner.

Everyone knows that Er Weiguo is not the most chili eater in the team. Seeing Weiguo chewing chili with a smile on his face, others picked up chopsticks one after another.

"Fuck!!!"

"Hah..."

"Spicy!!!"

Then came bursts of wailing.

"Don't spit!"

Gentry ordered: "Give it to me and swallow it all. Whoever dares to spit it out...don't play in the second half."

This sentence is still very effective. No one dared to spit it out. After swallowing the hot pepper, they frantically picked up the drink and rinsed their mouths.

"Old Jin, you are definitely seriously ill..."

Wei Guo scolded: "If someone faints from the heat, will this match still be played?"

Gentry asked curiously, "Brother Wei, are you okay?"

Wei Guo said: "How can it be okay? I'm just pretending. Why should I only eat such hot peppers?"

"Brother Wei, you are really kind to us."

Francis burst into tears, and expressed his gratitude to Wei Guo while rinsing his mouth with a drink.

This farce is over.

The intermission time is almost here, and Gentry said: "Everyone dares to challenge this kind of devil pepper. The Lakers are just a fart. Let me open the score in the second half!"

actually...

Gentry suddenly had this idea because he read several biographies of Chinese celebrities.

It is said that in order to learn knowledge, someone bought a lot of chili peppers and put them on the table. When he was not energetic, he would chew the chili peppers.

but...

How can this kind of allusion be brought to the stadium?

........

At the start of the second half, Francis was still a little confused.

Facing Fisher's defense, Francis made a change of direction and passed Fisher, went to the basket and took off facing O'Neal.

this moment...

Francis' mind empties completely, a hangover from Devil Peppers.

O'Neill didn't expect that Francis, a 1.9-meter man, wanted to dunk him!

O'Neill straightened his arms!

Francis can become the Western All-Star starter, it proves that he is not an ordinary player.

actually...

Francis has a vertical jump of 114 centimeters, 3 centimeters taller than the 'half-human and half-god' Carter. There are not many players in the entire league who can jump better than Francis.

"Boom!!!"

Francis confronted O'Neal head-on and successfully dunked on O'Neal!

There was a silence at first.

Then...

"Francis!"

"Francis!"

"Francis!"

The name resounds throughout the arena.

he...

This man named Francis, riding buckle O'Neill!
