"Yao Shark Duel" is definitely one of the most classic duels in the memory of all Chinese fans.

Many fans and experts even believe that Yao Ming's weight gain is to deal with the big shark O'Neal.

After all, in that era, every team in the league would have a meat shield, and the meaning of these meat shields was to go up and hit the team where O'Neal was.

These meat shields should be thankful to O'Neal, because O'Neal allowed them to work in the NBA for so many years.

As the big shark O'Neal grows older, his dominance is no longer as good as before.

But with his experience and big ass, he can still score 12 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game this season. Pay attention! Such a result was achieved with only 23.4 minutes per game.

Of course, O'Neal, 37, can't play basketball like he did when he was 20, but he can also use another way to tell the young people in the league who want to get the lead, that ginger is still the hottest.

On November 7, the New York Knicks welcomed the Cleveland Cavaliers at their home court.

D'Antoni's team ushered in a big test for the first time.

Madison Square Garden is crowded with people. Can the No. 1 pick Lin Yi continue his magical performance?

Can the conversation between Lin Yi and O'Neal continue the topic of "Yao Shark Showdown"?

Can Lin Yi do things that even the Little Emperor can't do in his rookie season, leading the Knicks, who was at the bottom of last season, into the playoffs?

The attention of the crowd may be the best adjective for this game.

...

Lin Yi remembers that the Cavaliers in the 2009/10 season really did a lot of moves to keep James, and O'Neal was one of them. In addition, Lin Yi still remembers that this Cavaliers would rob the Wizards who were preparing to rebuild in the middle of the season, in exchange for Antoine Jamison with outstanding scoring ability. Just looking at the lineup, this Cavaliers can form an All-Star team.

Of course, the Cavaliers in Lin Yi's memory played well in the regular season, and achieved a 61 wins with the defensive intensity of the playoffs.

But when their opponents raised the defensive intensity in the playoffs, the biggest problem of this Cavaliers was exposed.

They lack shooters!

But this cannot be blamed on the Cavaliers' uniform group, because with the success of Kobe and O'Neal, the success of Wade and O'Neal, and the combination of Yao Ming and McGrady, people generally believe that super outsiders should cooperate with top insiders.

But history will eventually prove that the tactic that is most suitable for LeBron James is to give him a bunch of pitchers who play without the ball.

We must not say that they do nothing just because the Cavaliers’ management cannot foresee the future. In fact, they do everything every season!

If the Cavaliers' management is really indifferent, how could Gilbert, the "stingy" boss, pay the highest luxury tax in the league every year to strengthen the Cavaliers?

When the star's light covers the entire team, should we give the Cavaliers uniform team a slightly more kind evaluation?

Cleveland was originally a small rural town, but they could still complete an operation called a cheat in the 2009/10 season. At this time, Antoine Jamison averaged 20 points per game.

Time takes away the hustle and bustle, and time passes, maybe everything depends on Benzema!

...

While warming up, Lin Yi found that LeBron James' athletic ability was even more explosive than he remembered, and he flew all kinds of flying and escaping.

At this time, LeBron was not an old man's step, but a N-step layup that was completed with super fast foot frequency.

As for the last few steps, to be honest, Lin Yi himself didn't see clearly!

The official NBA explanation is that LeBron James plays too coherently and the referee can't see whether he is walking or not, so he specially modified the rules for him.

Emmmmmmm, no matter what, this knight is really strong.

This is the peak of the little emperor!

...

"Guide Zhang, the player Lin Yi faced against today should be the Big Shark O'Neal. Many fans were worried about Lin Yi before the game, because of his current weight and playing style, do you think he can withstand the Big Shark?" Yu Jia said warm-up before the game.

"Haha, I think the fans' worries are redundant. Lin Yi's playing style and characteristics are hard to say whether O'Neal can keep up with him!" Zhang-Lin Yi's playing reasonably no matter how he plays, the coach said.

"What Director Zhang said makes sense. Many American media are also talking about the competition between Lin Yi and LeBron James in this game. Do you think Lin Yi can accomplish things that even James can't accomplish in his rookie season?" Yu Jia said.

"It's too early to compare Lin Yi and James to it. Both of them are not the same style. But you really don't say that Lin Yi really has the chance to lead the Knicks into the playoffs in his rookie season, which is something James can't do." Zhang Heli clearly stands on the team and has clear logic.

Yu Jia nodded. Director Zhang’s words made sense, but I couldn’t even refute them.

On the court, O'Neal and James, who were in the warm-up match, also started chatting with Lin Yi.

James came to see his game while playing in the NCAA.

"That's so cool. You actually knocked down the center of the 76ers." James and Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi nodded. Speaking of which, he was not nervous at all if he had been with Stephen Curry for a long time and wanted to play with LeBron James?

It is very likely that when I was in college, I was fighting against the MVP of the Future League every day. Is it nervous? Big scene?

Lin-Big Heart-Yi.

Lin Yi knew that LeBron James was just a praising word. In his memory, LeBron James joked with Curry when Stephen Curry first entered the NBA All-Star, saying that Curry shook his little defender to death. Curry also respected LeBron James at that time, as for what happened later...

Ahem!

In addition, O'Neal also admired Lin Yi very much. Lin Yi knew that this was because of the Chinese market behind him. O'Neal had a high emotional intelligence and praised Yao Ming from beginning to end.

Just listen to this kind of polite words.

The interesting episode of this game was that when the little emperor threw magnesium powder before the game, Madison Square Garden did not cooperate and cheered, but instead: "You———————!!"

History has been changed by itself again.

The Knicks fans are no longer so cold about James.

This is also a good thing, because Lin Yi knew very well that recruiting James in New York would be useless.

Now it's time to countdown on Brothers Basketball.

...

NBA President David Stern turned on the TV. He was very satisfied with the publicity of this game. James was the target he wanted to support. Lin Yi played better and better in these regular season games. Good news in the Chinese market has been frequent. Stern is in a good mood now and wants to work for a few more years.

In Madison Square Garden, the referee walked towards the middle circle with the basketball in his arms.

Knicks starters: Lin Yi, David Lee, Wilson Chandler, Garlinari, Larry Hughes.

Cavaliers starters: O'Neal, Valaijo, James, Mo Williams, Anthony Parker.

Lin Yi will not give O'Neal a slight face to jump ball.

He slightly pointed it and Larry Hughes grabbed the basketball.

The Knicks got the ball in the first attack of the opening game.

Amid the cheers of home fans, Larry Hughes tactfully handed the basketball to Lin Yi.

Ouch?

Mike Brown actually arranged for Valaijo to defend himself?

This is not possible. Don’t you know that what the fans want to watch is “Lin Shark duel?”

Lin Yi gave David Li a look, and David Li came to play the pick-and-roll decisively.

The thing O'Neal was most reluctant to do in his life was to prevent pick-and-roll.

It was precisely because of this that Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown asked Valaijo to defend Lin Yi.

But how can the Knicks break the pick-and-roll in the inside and inside?

Lin Yi held the ball with one hand near the top of the arc, and watched the player he was facing was replaced by O'Neal, and nodded to David Lee with satisfaction.

Come on! Fat! Let’s decide the outcome!
Chapter completed!
