"Shaq, I know you want to prove you're worthy of a Big 50 spot.

But seriously, you are too weak."

Shay’s trash talk hit the shark right at home!

Why is O'Neal so restless and crazy about making extra plays for himself this summer?

Firstly, signing a big contract, moving to a big city and winning the Olympics is a bit pretentious, and secondly, I hope to impress the judges who vote for the 50 Greatest Stars!

This year is the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the NBA. For this celebration, Stern will officially select the 50 greatest superstars in history, voted by retired players, coaches and reporters.

Although the results have not yet been announced, the list of the top 50 superstars has been predicted by major media.

So far, the most suspenseful ones are Shay and O'Neal.

Because they are both too young.

Shea has only played five seasons in the league, and this is his sixth season.

And O'Neal only played four seasons.

Although they are both very capable, because they are too young, reporters are not sure whether they will eventually be selected into this historical hall of honor.

Or maybe one of the two young people is selected?

Because in the final prediction, most media felt that there was only one seat left for Shay and O'Neal.

O'Neal naturally wants to squeeze into the ranks of the top 50 superstars, and if he wants to get the final votes, he has to prove that he is more worthy than Shay!

Shay grasped O'Neal's psychology perfectly. Seeing O'Neal's veins popping out, Shay continued:

"We are different from Shaq. I don't have to compete with the 50 superstars. Because I don't want to go, they have to invite me!

I can increase the gold content of the top 50 superstars, but if you go, then you are just lowering the limit."

"Stop talking nonsense, Shay, come here if you have the guts!" Shark dropped a word impatiently and left angrily.

In one round, O'Neal's blood pressure went straight to the bottom.

Because Shea is indeed right, O'Neal is afraid of not being selected among the 50 superstars, so he is eager to defeat Shea and show himself.

But the first attack was messed up, making the shark extremely anxious.

Now, it's the Lakers' offense.

There is no doubt that Shea is the core player with the ball now. He carries the ball across the half court himself and then attacks himself.

The person responsible for guarding Shea is Larry Johnson, an old acquaintance.

I think back then, Auntie was also a figure who rivaled Xie.

But over the past few years, the two of them have become one and the same.

Shay has won three championships, and Auntie's highest honor is being named to the All-Star Game and the All-NBA Second Team as a substitute.

The situation when the two faced off again made people sigh with emotion.

But Auntie was not depressed because of the disparity in status between the two. On the contrary, he took precautions very seriously.

After arriving in the Knicks, Auntie knew that she was no longer a star, but Pippen next to the Sharks.

Therefore, he is willing to focus more on the defensive end and play a supporting role.

Auntie kept fighting against Shay and actively oppressed him.

But the basketball is like a part of Shea's body. No matter how the aunt collides, Shea can firmly control the ball in his hands and never give the aunt a chance to steal.

Shea seized a gap and accelerated through. The Knicks' defense immediately shrank, and the penalty area was filled instantly.

Although Riley left, the Knicks' current coach Van Gundy Jr. is even more of a defensive fiend.

Therefore, the Knicks' defensive quality is still excellent.

Seeing this, Xie quickly braked and turned his back.

He wants to beat Big Mom behind her back!

Auntie tried her best to hold Shay's waist, preparing to accept the impact.

But Shay didn't push back, but planned to end the attack with a turn-over jump shot!

As a result, people saw Shay twisting his body from side to side in a naive manner, with very stiff movements, looking like an 80-year-old man twisting his waist for morning exercises in the park.

This stiff shoulder swaying makes the aunt behind me confused. It’s not you. You are humiliating my defense!

The main reason why Shay made such a funny shoulder shaking action was because he hesitated.

I originally wanted to do a shoulder shake to try out new skills, but suddenly I wanted to throw directly.

After all, Shay had never had the habit of shooting after swinging his shoulders before. He would reflexively want to shoot as soon as he turned over.

While hesitating, Shay's movements became extremely stiff.

In the end, Shay decided to turn over and shoot a jumper.

But there is no doubt that such a disjointed action, coupled with the timely interference of the aunt, and because it is the early stage of the season and Shea has not yet practiced in the hot zone, the basketball finally missed the frame.

Knicks fans breathed a sigh of relief. No one scored, so the initiative is still in the hands of the Sharks!

When the basketball bounced off the frame, Shark used his huge body to block Mutombo, and O'Neal occupied an absolute advantage in the rebounding position.

He opened his hands and jumped slightly, ready to get the rebound in his hands.

But just when he was about to grab the backboard, a hand with fingers wrapped in bandages came up and stabbed the basketball hard, setting the basketball on fire. The rebound in O'Neal's hand just flew away!

After the shark landed, he turned around and saw that annoying purple hair again!

The shark refused to admit defeat and immediately took off a second time to continue fighting.

But Rodman's second takeoff was faster than O'Neal, and he once again thrust the ball into the air before O'Neal, once again taking the basketball out of O'Neal's control!

Rodman himself does not have an amazing jumping ability, but his ability to take off continuously is very good. In the time that others jump twice, he can jump three or four times!

This is why Rodman, who is not tall, has been able to dominate the rebounding title for five consecutive seasons.

If he doesn't have a good position to directly grab the basketball, he will use his fingertips to push the ball away, then occupy a favorable position and use his continuous jumping ability to grab the rebound.

It is for this reason that all his fingers are wrapped with bandages.

Anyone who has played basketball knows how painful it is to poke a finger into a basketball. Because Rodman did this every night, his fingers were scarred and had to be fixed with a bandage to reduce the pain.

Just like that, with continuous picks and bounces, Rodman finally took the rebound into his arms!

The invincible Shark O'Neal has actually never robbed a blue-collar player with an annual salary of only 2.5 million and a height of about 2 meters!

After being guarded by Rodman just now, this time he was grabbed a rebound by Rodman again!

O'Neal even boasted before the game that he would have an easy time playing inside with the Lakers.

As a result, after the start, it was a series of defeats!

Don't ask where Robinson, who is in charge of the card bug, is. Robinson has always had an average rebounding awareness, otherwise the Lakers would not have missed rebounds in the finals last season.

After getting the offensive rebound, Rodman immediately passed the ball to Shea.

The moment Shea got the ball, he knew that he would be very tired from playing games this season.

Missed the shot? It doesn't matter, Rodman can let you make another one!

After a game, I'm afraid the number of shots will be ridiculous!

Shay received the basketball, and Auntie immediately posted it again.

But this time, Shay didn't hesitate.

He turned his shoulder to the left. Larry Johnson thought Shay was going to turn left, so he immediately took a step sideways and was ready to block at any time.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Shay turned to the right and connected with a Golden Rooster independent fadeaway jumper.

He did a fake shoulder shake!

This wave is equivalent to the late double buffs of "Old Snake Shaking Armor" and "Golden Rooster Rearing Independently"!

The aunt was completely shaken away by this beautiful shoulder-shaking fake move, and could only watch helplessly as Shay threw the ball easily.

O'Neal gritted his teeth and must not let Rodman steal the spotlight this time.

However, Rodman turned around and walked back this time, raising his arms high.

He's celebrating Shay's goal in advance!

O'Neal looked at Rodman, who was celebrating early and extremely arrogant. The next second, he heard a "swipe" sound.

Mike Brin also issued his iconic shout:

“Bang!

Beautiful shoulders swaying and backwards turning, it seems that this summer, Shay has added new weapons to his arsenal!

This season, his scoring seems to be more arbitrary!

Larry Johnson didn't expect Shay to do this at all. He was completely deceived by Shay's fake shoulder shake.

The defending champion finally scored first. Knicks fans had been waiting for a long time, but in the end they could only witness Shea scoring the first goal instead of the Sharks dominating the game.
