110. The Great Gladiator in the Restricted Area

The task of defending Davis was handed over to another Davis, Ricky Davis. Both of them were of similar height and weight. When they met, they could be considered as Mars colliding with the Earth.

Ricky Davis' golden career was with the Cavaliers. In the early 21st century, he was the leader of that team, and he averaged 20+5+5 per game. This data is absolutely dazzling among guards. Even in the current NBA, he is an All-Star level.

However, considering that this guy has a bad record of flashing data, his data also has to be questioned.

Ricky Davis has two more famous things in his career. One is that at the last moment of the match against the Jazz, Davis, who had already scored 20+10+9, grabbed the ninth rebound when he found that the game was about to end, so he threw the basketball at his own rebound and grabbed another one and scored ten rebounds.

Jazz head coach Sloan, who was standing off the court at that time, was shocked. The old fans probably wouldn't forget the strange scene at that time. He had been accustomed to fighting with the magician Dabird Flying Emperor for many years and had been practicing to be unlucky and not afraid of being favored and disgraced in front of him. His cheeky mentality opened his mouth wide and his eyes were dull, and Davis was directly messed up.

Another famous thing about Ricky Davis is related to his big mouth. In 2003, the Cavaliers held the No. 1 pick and chose LeBron James, who is now at the top of the league. After learning about the team's choice, Davis, who was the leader in the locker room at the time, told reporters happily: "The team finally found me a decent helper."

After this sentence was published on the newspaper, the league was shocked again. Is this guy showing the lower limit? But it is not easy to do this by refreshing the lower limit of IQ again and again. Davis must feel so good that he actually chose the team-building core selected by the Cavaliers as a helper?

Sure enough, shortly after the Little Emperor landed in Cleveland, Ricky Davis was traded by the Cavaliers.

In fact, if Ricky Davis could be calm and willing to be the deputy of the Little Emperor, the Cavaliers would probably have the ability to compete for the championship. With him on the outside to help the Little Emperor charge, the Cavaliers only need to strengthen the inside to become a strong team with all their own strength in the league.

The two Davises carried out their offense and defense face to face. Seeing that their teammates failed to play singles, Ellis came up to meet him. As soon as he got the ball, Wade came up. Instead of defending Davis, the former Warriors core, Wade was staring at Ellis, and was full of vigilance about the latter's attack power.

Wade can bring great pressure to his opponent. He is strong, fast, has good consciousness, and has a pair of quick hands that he will be stolen if he is not careful. But Ellis is not afraid at all. He took a very quick step forward, like a sharp arrow that is out of the string.

Whether Davis or Ellis, they are excellent defenders, but today's protagonists are not them, but O'Neal and Chamberlain who are fighting in the interior. This game is seen as the handover ceremony of the league's number one center. O'Neal wins, and then the league's inside still belongs to these old guys. Chamberlain wins, which means that it's time for the league's inside to change the helmsman.

Although Ellis had a strong desire to attack, when he saw Chamberlain pushing O'Neal away and gaining a position advantage, he immediately handed the ball over without hesitation.

Chamberlain got the ball, and when he turned around, he saw O'Neal with his arms wide open eyeing him in the penalty area.

Now O'Neal is tall and big, and his body is full of fat and looks even more oppressive. He looks like a wall of flesh. He bent down slightly and roars like a beast fighting: "Come on, rookie, come and eat Dad Shaq's big hat."

Chamberlain was like a young lion about to attack the old lion king. He straightened his body and grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it high. He first scanned the surroundings. Seeing Haslem eyeing him on the wing, he hesitated and wanted to pass the ball.

O'Neal soon noticed Chamberlain's concerns, he waved to Haslem and shouted, "Man, you go out, this is a matter between me and this kid!"

In the showdown between the Cavaliers, O'Neal regained his peak pride at this moment. Although he was old and had entered the end of his career, he still refused others' help in the face of Chamberlain's challenge and had to complete the battle with him by himself.

In 1992, when O'Neal first entered the NBA, his predecessors Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, Carl Malone and David Robinson fought with him in this way. This is the confrontation between the King's center and has nothing to do with other small characters.

One-to-one, Chamberlain recalled what Thurmond taught himself on weekdays, pressing O'Neal's chest with his shoulders sideways, his muscles tightly tense up, and slowly but firmly pushing towards the inside.

He slapped the ball with a rhythmic right hand, and stretched out his left arm to protect the ball and hit O'Neal.

One step or two steps, O'Neal's face was heavy. He slowly retreated. It was not that he could not withstand Chamberlain's power, but that years of experience told him that he needed to retain his strength and guard against Chamberlain's formation change. With the remaining strength, O'Neal opened his mouth and began to squirt trash words: "Is this your all your strength? I have to say that you are too bad, rookie, my grandma's strength is greater than you, you are like a woman, you keep urging into my arms, is it a lack of maternal love?"

"I want to fuck you!" Chamberlain suddenly strengthened the impact force. He answered with a ferocious face, and in the shortest time, he burst out all the strength in his body, and hit the inside line wildly, knocked away O'Neal and pulled the ball up and rose up. He roared and turned around and came to the battle axe buckle.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Chamberlain jumped like a wild goose caught in an arrow. His body staggered and twisted in the air. After landing, he almost fell down. The ball in his hand had been flying. In front of him, O'Neal looked proud and his body was shaking like a tide, exuding a strong desire to conquer.

Haslem grabbed the ball, and Chamberlain was a little unbelievable for a moment. He was so aggressive that he was actually knocked off by this old guy? He took a big hat at the beginning?

"Retreat, Z, retreat!" Jackson shouted hurriedly when he saw that Chamberlain reacted a little slow.

Wade showed his strength about the Flash in this attack. Haslem passed the ball out and directly started and accelerated when he received the ball. It seemed that the Aston Martin supercar rushed to the frontcourt at a speed of lightning.

Ellis and Davis went up to intercept the ball, but Wade, who was holding the ball in his hand, was thrown behind him. The latter rushed straight to the basket and completed the layup. The first two could only eat his exhaust from behind, and sighed.

The fans' cheers sounded like waves of cheers in the American Airlines Arena. O'Neal looked at Chamberlain provocatively, hooked his finger and shouted: "Is this the number one center? When will the league fall to your level and be the number one center? Come to daddy's arms and ask Dad Shaq to give you another big hat!"

Jackson saw that Chamberlain was unhappy and persuaded him when he ran past him: "It's okay, Z, don't take it to your heart. You are only eighteen years old and Shaq is thirty-eight years old. You have enough time to clean up him."

Chamberlain did not speak and entered the inside again to compete for the position with O'Neal. This time, O'Neal did not compete with him like before, but got stuck behind him, making it easy for him to get the ball.

From beginning to end, Chamberlain said nothing. He held the ball again, still facing O'Neal, pushing his opponent backwards as before. After two consecutive steps, he suddenly hit the ball hard, dribbled the ball and retreated. O'Neal's huge body seemed to be hit by a tank, and he had to take a step back.

The opportunity arose. Chamberlain already had a shot opportunity, but he did not do so. Instead, he made a fake move when his shoulder was raised, then his shoulder fell and twisted again. His long legs took out one after another, cutting O'Neal's body like a swimming fish and then he reached the basket.

O'Neal kept accumulating strength to wait for this moment. Although Chamberlain's breakthrough was fast, he did not completely get rid of him. There was only such a small territory in the penalty area. O'Neal just chased back two steps and followed Chamberlain, and his huge body still enveloped Chamberlain.

Seeing that he broke into the basket, Chamberlain suddenly waved his arm to block O'Neal, and quickly turned around O'Neal with the ball, turning around O'Neal like a gyro, turning from the left penalty area to the right penalty area. In this way, he turned his back to O'Neal and faced the ring, Chamberlain obtained the best attack position.

Without hesitation, Chamberlain put away the ball and raised his arm and was about to dunk. O'Neal lost his position. He was shocked and did not care to turn around completely. He jumped up against Chamberlain. When the shark jumped, his eyes were empty, and there was no Chamberlain at all.

Being fooled! O'Neal whined in his heart, and Chamberlain jumped up when he started to fall, his wrist trembled slightly, and the basketball flew up and hit the rebound, then rebounded into the ring.

"Beautiful attack!" Old Nelson saw Chamberlain's performance and couldn't help but exclaim, "Winny's training was very successful. Z did a pretty job. Look at the scene just now, how wonderful, does it look like a young leopard hunting fat reindeer?"

Nelson Jr. and several assistant coaches were also very excited. Chamberlain's attack was completely skillful. Although it was a little sluggish, it had already revealed signs of a powerful penalty area attacker.

Chamberlain's offensive skills have always been his weakness, but under O'Neal's pressure, he finally rebounded like a spring and began to transform the attack skills he learned into practical skills. As the saying goes, Chamberlain practiced hard and studied hard for two months, and finally got to know it today.

Chamberlain's face was solemn. After scoring, he immediately ran to the frontcourt. He knew that after the offense and defense were changed, O'Neal would come to host the offense in person. Just now, O'Neal taught him a lesson on the defensive end, and then he slapped him back. With the Shark's small-mindedness, this attack must have to tossed him hard.

As he expected, the scene where Chamberlain deceived himself with a fake move completely angered O'Neal, making the shark feel that he was losing face. After Wade brought the ball over, he immediately stuck Chamberlain with his huge body, sat back with his big butt, and reached out to ask for the ball.

Wade is still very honest and generous. When he saw his teammates want the ball and the inside line only had Sharks and Chamberlain, he simply dribbled the ball under his crotch and raised his hand to throw the ball towards O'Neal's head.

O'Neal wanted to hold the ball with one hand, but when Wade passed the ball, his back suddenly loosened. Chamberlain, who had been stuck behind him, stepped forward like lightning, jumped up in front of him, and stole the basketball flying in the air.
