In the first game of the new season, the Phoenix Suns sent point guard Cassel, shooting guard Boson, small forward Horry, power forward AC Green, and center Klein.
On the surface, the Suns still had a lot of All-Stars. They were obviously good, but their playing was too ugly, especially Cassel. His shooting was too ugly, even if he was an All-Star.
However, he was not very popular, so his reputation was not very good.
In the away game, the starting lineup of the Los Angeles team consisted of point guard van Aexel, shooting guard Jones, small forward Sebaros, power forward campbell, and center O'Neal.
Li Tianze and Kobe sat in the middle of the bench. On their right were the rotating players, and on their left was the guardian of the water dispenser.
Just like the seats, although Li Tianze and Kobe had reached the starting lineup, the head coach, Silver Fox Harris, did not dare to let them play directly.
After all, he still had to take care of the other starting players 'emotions. Li Tianze was signed at a minimum salary, and Kobe and Bryan were rookies who had just joined the team. He still needed to watch the game first.
They still needed to temper themselves. Let them sit on the bench for a while before considering them!
This was also why the head coach, Silver Fox Harris, would be eliminated from the team in the future. His approach was too conservative, using the old rules and methods.
Although he had just won the best manager award last season, it was all an old-fashioned approach, which was really not likable.
Therefore, Li Tianze and Kobe were mercilessly pressed onto the bench and could only watch Shaq and the others play.
The match began!
The referee began to toss the ball, and the center forwards of the two teams came to the center of the field.
As the basketball flew up high, Shaquille O'Neal, who had not been delayed by the fat, easily jumped over Klein, the white center, and took the first ball to attack.
Since Li Tianze was not present, O'Neal's team naturally had to relax and slow down. Everyone waited until O'Neal slowly reached the basket.
Only then did he start to move the ball. He found a gap and threw the ball to O'Neill.
O'Neal opened his arms and grabbed the ball with one hand while holding Klein behind him with the other. After grabbing the basketball, he immediately slammed back, knocking Klein away.
His entire huge body flew into the air. Helpless, Klein could only hug O'Neill from behind and use a foul to stop him from scoring.
However, he still underestimated O'Neal. His stiff technical foul could not stop him at all. The basketball was still forcefully dunked into the basket.
After O'Neill landed, he roared at Klein before returning to the backfield.
The next attack was just like before, slow and slow, and he used his butt to dig into the inside line again and again, making people sleepy.
Fortunately, with O'Neal's continuous dunks, the fans in the stadium began to cheer.
However, the Los Angeles team discovered that after only two quarters, Shaquille O'Neal was already sweating and panting.
It was obvious that he had used too much strength, but this situation was not normal. It was only the beginning of the second quarter.
Silver Fox Harris asked the referee for a time-out and walked to Shaquille O'Neal's side to ask.
"Shaquille, how are you? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
O'Neill panted and said intermittently.
"I feel a little tired! I feel a little dizzy."
When the head coach, Harris, heard this, he instantly became worried and asked the team doctor to come over and check on Shaq.
the team doctor said after a detailed examination.
"O'Neill has a fever. It seems that he has contracted the most popular flu in this period of time! He couldn't play in this match. He had to go to the hospital for treatment!”
"If we continue fighting, his life will be in danger!”
When the manager, Harris, heard this, he was instantly stunned. What the hell was this? This was only the first regular season match, and this had already happened.
Wasn't this too unlucky? However, he had to listen to the doctor's advice, so O'Neill would not be able to play in this game.
Although O'Neal had dunked and attacked in various ways, the gap in points was not big.
The score between the Los Angeles and Phoenix Suns was 21:20, less than one point apart.
Because of the betrayal of the fans in this game, the players of the Suns had a burning flame in their hearts, so they played especially strong in this game.
Even O'Neal had to use all his strength to get in. Only Jones on the outside could help him share some of the burden. The others were of no use to him.
Now that O'Neal was sick, Harris was so worried that his hair was about to fall out. This was just the beginning, and one of the main players was missing, and it was the most important one. How could they play?
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the players around him. Suddenly, his attention fell on the faces of Li Tianze and Kobe.
It seemed that he could only give up this game. Then, he would train properly. Then, he said to Li Tianze and Kobe.
"O'Neal is not feeling well. We played well in the first quarter and defended well. We only let the opponent score 20 points.”
"Li! " Kobe, you two go. You, Jones, Cedric, and campbell, keep the score up. This game is up to you. Come on, guys!"”
Then, the pause ended!
Li Tianze and the others began to welcome their first regular season match. The legend was about to begin.
Li Tianze and Kobe were now the center and point guard respectively.
Since Kobe and Li Tianze had been practicing recently, his dribbling skills had improved greatly. Moreover, he had a lot of faith in Li Tianze's ability, so he could still be a point guard. Maybe!
Soon, everyone was on the stage and the competition continued.
Klein held Li Tianze back with all his might as he whispered into his ear.
"Where's Shaq? He ran away just like that? How was it? You, a little fellow whose hair hasn't even grown fully, want to fight me?”
Li Tianze sneered.
"I don't know which one of you was tortured by Shaq just now. Also, do you want to experience it? Don't worry, I hope you won't cry later.”
