Chapter 296 Polish Your Bayonets and Fight

In the third quarter of the second half, the Eastern team struck first.

In addition to O'Neal, Bogues was also unusually excited when he came on the field for the first time. He held the ball and pressed forward. However, one thing that was not friendly was... He was facing off against "Glove" Gary Payton.

Gary Payton is not weak offensively, but he is most praised for his strong defense and trash talking skills. However, his teammate Kemp has learned from previous mistakes. In this special game, he faced Bogues, who had already taken sides. There are no words, but the defense is still fierce.

Boggs started with the ball, his speed increased sharply, he found an opportunity to shoot after his teammates picked and rolled, and directly chose mid-to-long-range shooting. Even though O'Neal was the protagonist of the Eastern Conference, he did not pass the ball, because like everyone else, everyone needs show yourself.

Uh-huh!

A hollow sound brushed the net.

Bogues scored his first All-Star goal.

…

Back to the west and attack.

Like the Eastern Conference, Gary Payton is also actively looking for opportunities. Although he doesn't want to look too ugly and appear to be sticking to the ball, facing Bogues, a short defensive colander, the opportunity is still good. He retreats to outside the three-point line. Just say X directly.

However, compared to others, except for Li Shengli and O'Neal, his three-point shooting rate was the lowest among the eight people. This shot was a direct hit, and the battle immediately turned over to the competition for rebounds inside.

"Don't try to fight with me!" O'Neal roared excitedly. Because he was in the penalty area as the defender, he took the lead in blocking Li Shengli.

Although O'Neal usually likes to make trouble, when he enters the penalty area, he becomes a completely different person, and he is stuck in his position in advance. It is no exaggeration to say that no one can resist him in a short period of time, not even Li Shengli. It doesn't work, because this guy's current state is full and his core strength is simply exploding.

"You know how to brag!" Li Shengli cursed and lost the opportunity to get stuck. With the same jumping situation, he could only rely on his small height and wingspan advantages. At this time... O'Neal took the lead to take off, and his hands were ready. To catch the ball together.

If he really had to hold his hands together, Li Shengli would have nothing to do with the rebound, and Li Shengli also knew this. Without any hesitation, his big hands rose from between O'Neal's arms and directly picked up the ball again.

No one has enough brains to consider all possibilities in the blink of an eye.

Li Shengli's movements this time were more based on physical instinct, and this shot was equivalent to taking away O'Neal's advantage of being blocked. After landing, he successfully grabbed the board, stepped to the basket, and dunked.

…

"Oh, good start, 2 points."

"Keep up the good work, Lee, and beat Shaq!"

"Stay steady and fight."

The fans at the scene burst into cheers, but they were far less exciting than those coming from the benches of both sides, because the few people who suppressed Li Shengli were beaming with joy, holding towels in their hands and roaring at the side, even more excited than they were when they scored.

"Shit, Shaq, fuck him, can he still steal a rebound like this?"

"Pass the ball, pass the ball, pass it to Shaq, let him hit it!"

"Stop nagging, let's fight!"

The few people who suppressed O'Neal were not to be outdone, and because Li Shengli took the lead at the beginning of the second half, several people were sweating anxiously. They were more active and directed the battle in the east than the two referees in the east and west.

…

"Michael, I feel like you're going to suffer a big loss today." Pippen was pressing 100,000 and O'Neal. Li Shengli was one step ahead. His face looked ugly, but even worse was Jordan who was sitting on the bank.

At one-to-one odds, except for Ewing, the amount of money to beat Li Shengli and O'Neal is basically the same. No matter who beats whom, Jordan's win or loss is not big.

However, the biggest bet was Ewing's 500,000 when he beat O'Neal to beat Li Shengli.

If Li Shengli had beaten O'Neal, then he would have to pay Ewing half a million for one, which is not a lot of money but definitely not a small amount, so Jordan's face is darker.

"Don't worry, it's just the beginning. You should know how strong Shaq is in the paint."

"But I know Lee's strength better." Pippen said with a smirk.

"Shit, then you still pressure Shaq?"

"Isn't it because of your face? Think about it... I pushed Shaq to make the bets on both sides about the same, so that no matter who beats who, your win or loss will not be big. Of course, if there is no Ewing."

Would you be so kind?

Jordan glanced at Pippen and said nothing.

…

The game is in full swing on the field.

Just like at the beginning, no one was willing to be a green leaf. After the two sides laid out their horses and horses, they first unleashed a round of firepower from the outside. If they scored, they would score. If they couldn't score, no one would care about the melee fight between the two bulldozers on the inside. The two were left to their own devices. The people inside were turned upside down and roared again and again.

Needless to say, the physical fitness of the two people. Li Shengli and O'Neal have already shown their prominence when they first entered the league. As a backboard crusher, they repeatedly blasted the backboards and baskets of various companies. However, after more than a season of hard work, they are definitely not two big players without skills. Brother Rough.

O'Neal's mid-range shot has a very small killing distance, not to mention embarrassing free throws. It is more about attacking the basket. As long as he squeezes to the basket, turns over for dunks and small hooks, even the gods can't withstand his bombing.

Of course, Li Shengli also has this ability. Whoever tries the power of the two penalty area gods knows, but he is stronger than O'Neal at this stage. The reason why he is stronger is that his killing distance is farther than O'Neal.

In a normal game, offensive distance is a relatively weak parameter, but in fact its effect is very obvious. On the offensive end... Li Shengli can support his teammates in the high position. There will be many changes in the battle formation after that, and he can squeeze into the inside to score stably. , If you can't squeeze into the inside, there is still a mid-range shot.

However, O'Neal is not good. His short offensive range is his biggest drawback. What he is more suitable for is... letting the team surround him and play offense as the core of the team. If he cannot improve his mid-range shooting ability, he must further improve his damage under the basket. , it would be a good project to gain weight and lift the opponent, turning him into a flexible dead fat man.

But Li Shengli is different. When placed in any lineup, he can play everything the team needs. He can be as wild as O'Neal at the basket. Having a mid-range shot means he can support his teammates and has a wider range of shots. The basket protection is even more perverted.

This is somewhat similar to the general. However, although the general is physically strong, he has always been criticized for not being tough enough. This is not the case with Li Shengli. There is no need to look for a template. Just look at the current NBA. Including O'Neal...that is Li Shengli. The reason why Dameng is not included is because Dameng is the most special and strong technical player among veteran centers.

Li Shengli is like a brick, he can move it wherever needed, the kind that can kill people when swung, but in the third quarter of this All-Star Game... the eight players on the outside of both sides are all one-on-one, and O'Neal has the disadvantage of being short. It's not harmful at all. He and Li Shengli were doing it in the dark, and the fans and players on the field frowned.

Li Shengli used a back shot to advance to the basket and score. When he turned around, O'Neal had to retaliate and fight in the same way. He tensed his muscles and just did it. When Li Shengli grabbed a board, O'Neal also had to grab a counterattack. No one interfered. The card position battle was all head-on, almost red-eyed.

What is surprising is that all the data of the two people... Here are all the data, even the mistakes and fouls, all go hand in hand. By the end of the third quarter, the two people's single-quarter data reached 11 points and 7 points. Board, 2 caps, 1 break.

Because the offenses of both sides have become routines, the first wave of bombing from the outside is followed by the duel between the two, so the scoring between the two is not too exaggerated. The outside does not pass in, and the two do not pass outside, so the assists are natural No, it's all about the rhythm of the bayonet.

The repeated confrontations made the atmosphere more heated. During the intermission at the end of the third quarter, in order to continue the exciting confrontation, the fans were afraid that Li Shengli and O'Neal would be put on the bench, so the cheers of Li Shengli and O'Neal rang out again. O'Neal's name was shouted on one side and then on the other side. The Eastern and Western benches had to put their ears to the words to hear clearly.
