Chapter 137 The Powerful Showdown

Now that David has come to the Grizzlies, he must still have some shadows about O'Neal in his heart. More importantly, he is afraid that Jiang Dongbing will be disappointed in him.

Jiang Dongbing has always been the reason that firmly supported David's belief and made him feel that he could become a superstar sooner or later.

When he failed to perform well in his rookie season, David's mother also comforted David by saying that he could not play under Jiang Dongbing.

But now he has come under Jiang Dongbing's command. If he is still beaten by O'Neal this time, David doesn't know how to deal with himself.

Although David is currently averaging 18 points and 13 rebounds per game this season, compared to the terrifying O'Neal, it is definitely not enough.

O'Neal's statistics this season are currently close to 30 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks. If you think this is O'Neal's limit, you would be too naive. You must know that his average number of shots per game is only 21. If he is given more chances to take shots,

, his scoring can even continue to rise.

Although it is impossible to average close to forty shots per game like Chamberlain, if O'Neal averaged five more shots per game, his scoring would be terrible.

"Don't worry, Shaq is actually not as strong as you think."

"And don't underestimate yourself now. Your strength is improving. Although it may not be as good as Shaq now, how many years has he played? How many years have you only played? Even if you lose to him, it is normal." Jiang Dongbing

He could roughly guess the worry in David's heart, so he couldn't help but comfort him.

David's attributes have improved a lot recently, but there is still some gap when he reaches the limit. When his attributes can reach the limit, he may be able to truly compete with bug players like O'Neal.

So in this game, Jiang Dongbing doesn't really care about the outcome of the duel between David and O'Neal. What he cares more about is that the Grizzlies can beat the Lakers.

Under normal circumstances, the beginning of this season is actually the Lakers dynasty. asxs. After the Bulls dynasty ends, the Spurs win a championship, followed immediately by the Lakers dynasty.

However, the Spurs failed to win the championship last season, and the championship was won by the Grizzlies led by Jiang Dongbing.

Although the Grizzlies are very strong now, the Lakers are not soft persimmons. Since they can build a dynasty, their strength is naturally worthy of Jiang Dongbing's attention.

"Okay, guys, come here." Jiang Dongbing clapped his hands and summoned his generals to make pre-game arrangements.

The generals walked up to Jiang Dongbing. Jiang Dongbing first said to Billups: "Chauncy, your opponent tonight is either Ron Harper or Fisher."

"I guess you don't need me to teach you how to fight, right?"

Billups laughed and said: "No, when facing Harper, focus on organizing the offense. When facing Fisher, look for opportunities to attack alone."

Jiang Dongbing nodded with satisfaction. These stars actually have very high intelligence. They don't need to say anything, they already know what to do on the court.

Ron Harper is a player brought from the Bulls by Jackson Jackson and is the starting player of the Bulls dynasty. His defensive strength is extremely strong. Even Billups may not be able to beat the old Harper.

At his peak, Harper had plenty of offensive firepower. He averaged 23 points per game in his rookie season. Before going to the Bulls, he was generally able to average around 20 points per game this season.

It's a pity that after arriving in the Bulls, considering the Bulls' forward and defensive lineup, Jordan plus Pippen, Harper would have no chance to shoot, so he simply transformed into a pure defensive player.

Although the data in all aspects of this transformation have dropped extremely sharply, averaging only seven or eight points per game, his value has been highlighted. Strong backcourt defense is definitely an indispensable role for the Bulls.

What's interesting is that Harper is not actually a point guard. He is a swingman. However, considering that Jordan and Pippen both have passing and controlling abilities, he actually played the No. 1 position in the Bulls, but at the No. 1 position.

There is no need for him to do the offense and organization that should be done. The only thing he needs to do is defense.

Facing such a player who relies entirely on defense, not even Billups dares to be careless.

But now that Harper is too old, already 35 years old, he is unlikely to stay on the court for too long. Fisher should be allocated half of the time at the No. 1 position.

In addition, the Lakers currently have Tyronn Lue, Grandpa Lu, in their lineup, and he may also be able to get some playing time.

According to the appearance of different players, Billups had already thought of his own countermeasures, which made Jiang Dongbing very satisfied.

When he first came to the Grizzlies, Billups' character was actually not very likable. However, after this season of accumulation, Billups has matured a lot and has gradually become like a superstar.

"Stephen, Ron, you two are responsible for guarding Kobe and Glenn Rice. Is there any problem?" Jiang Dongbing asked again.

The two of them replied in unison: "No problem!"

Jackson's defense is already at the top level in the league, and as for Artest, although his attributes have not yet reached their limits, he will definitely not have a big problem guarding the older Glenn Rice.

Artest's ultimate defensive potential is actually much higher than Jackson's. Jiang Dongbing is looking forward to Artest's full growth.

"Jermaine, you have to take as many shots as possible tonight, because you are facing off against AC Green. If you can't even beat AC Green who is 40 years old in front of you, isn't that a bit unreasonable?

"Jiang Dongbing said with a smile.

Xiao Ou nodded quickly. The fourth position should be the current shortcoming of the Lakers and the best attack point for the Grizzlies. If he cannot gain an advantage against AC Green, then as Jiang Dongbing said, really

Some of it is unreasonable.

AC Green is of course less than forty years old, but he is thirty-seven now. Xiao Ao is in the prime of life and is far stronger than Green. There will be no suspense in this matchup.

"David, you can play freely tonight and don't put too much pressure on yourself. You have to know that you are facing the strongest center in the league, maybe even the best center in the entire NBA history." Jiang Dongbing reassured David again.

Ichiban.

Everyone also knew the pressure David was under. If they were in David's situation, they would probably be extremely flustered now, so they all patted David's shoulders and shouted encouragement.



The Grizzlies fans at the scene were impatient. When the Grizzlies players came on the field, the scene immediately started a heat wave. The fans screamed and applauded wildly to cheer for the home team.

Jiang Dongbing looked across the court and saw only O'Neal and Kobe who looked unconvinced.
