In 1996, Shark's athletic ability was in a state of soaring. Anyone who doesn't want to be carried away by an ambulance can only back off. Not only is his dribbling skill excellent, but also Shaquille O'Neal's hooks and small throws are even more innocent, as he can't get points through dunks for every ball.
In the process of training together with the main lineup, Michael Udin and Kobe also learned a lot, of course these results still need to be tested in the regular season.
On October 30, 1996, the Los Angeles Lakers played away to Phoenix in their first regular season game against the Phoenix Suns.
Michael Udin's appearance has resulted in some changes in the direction of this space and time, for example, this game was originally intended for the Los Angeles Lakers to be played at home, but for some reason, the game has changed.
Even after the preseason game, when the regular season arrived, rookies Michael Udin and Kobe were still very excited, it was their first regular game if they finished this match then they officially became professional players.
The Phoenix Suns Fan Seat was a bit vacant and attendance rates at the first game of the regular season weren't very high.
Since superstar Charles Barkley, who played for them for four seasons, was swapped to the Houston Rockets, obviously, local Phoenix fans weren't willing to buy tickets for these guys. If it weren't for the huge influence of the Los Angeles Lakers, I'm afraid there would be plenty of seats today.
The two Suns suit figures in the comments are also constantly complaining.
"I'm afraid there are less than 10,000 people here today! I haven't seen such a gloomy home court in Phoenix for many years!
I really envy giants like the Los Angeles Lakers. Right after Magic Johnson retired, they ushered in new superstar Shaquille O'Neal!
When will our phoenix Suns have their own superstar?
Can you predict it? Walter? ' Dick Van Asdell began to comment
Speaking of Dick Van Arsdale is the legendary Phoenix Suns swingman, and the No. 5 of them were honorably retired by the team.
"This topic of yours is really pissing me off. If Sam Cassell can really muster alien powers, he might become our new superstar. It's a shame that he looks so much like ET." Walter Davis responded to his colleague
Walter, nicknamed "The Greyhounds", is also a passing star of the Phoenix Suns.
For traditional giants like the Los Angeles Lakers, most teams in the league have envy and hatred towards them.
In the first game of the two teams' new season, the Phoenix Suns sent point guard Sam Cassel, shooting guard Wesley Boyson, forward Robert Horry, forward AC Green, and center Joe Klein.
Lakers away game, starting point guard Nick Van Exel, shooting guard Eddie Jones, minor striker Cedric Ceballos, power forward Elden Campbell, center Shaquille O'Neal.
Michael Udin and Kobe sit in the center of the bench, with the main rotation players on the right and the marginal players on the left.
Just like the seat position, the two brothers will enter the rotation row if their performance is good, and will gradually be marginalized if their performance is bad.
Let's start this game!
Shaquille O'Neal easily won a jump ball against white center two yards one Joe Klein!
The team with Sharks O'Neal naturally slowed down. Everyone waited for Shaquille O'Neal to slowly advance into the basket before starting to spin the ball. The ball was moved to the side of Shaquille O'Neal. .
With a pair of hands, he stuck Joe Klein behind him, placed the ball in a catching position, and the ball immediately hung in his hands.
After the power of the explosion, turn around and get up!
Joe Klein had no choice but to hug the huge shark from behind, just like this, Shaquille O'Neal almost threw the ball inside!
The opening first attack also sets the tone for the entire game.
Joe Klein blocked Shaquille O'Neal's dunk with a foul, but the home fans made some jeers. They seem to be complaining that I paid for the dunk because of the big shark!
Only Shaquille O'Neal, standing at the free-throw line, will show bitterness. He holds the basketball with the posture of a normal athlete holding a volleyball. Short first free throw!
The home fans cheered, watching Shaquille O'Neal's embarrassment during a free throw was also a link the fans wanted to hear.
Fortunately for the second penalty, the ball tripped in the basket and fell into the net bag.
The Phoenix Suns attacked, Sam Cassel organized, and the Suns continued to score points, but there was a huge shark guarding the basket, and the Suns couldn't find the phone.
The ball went back into Sam Cassell's hands, and he made a three-pointer at the Nick Van Exel defence!
Sam Cassell looked around the crowd, as if declaring that I was the new top card here!
Both teams played very anxious throughout the first quarter. Shaquille O'Neal continues to create kills under the basket. He scored 8 points and 4 rebounds. The Los Angeles Lakers also lead temporarily 28-21.
The main lineup returned to the bench and sat down, Michael Udin and Kobe also stood up and gave way.
"We played well in the first quarter and defended well. We are now 7 points away!, In the second we have to be aggressive, and in the second it's Nick, Kobe, Cedric, Odin and Campbell! You guys play"
Hearing Demar calling his own name, Michael Udin and Kobe rushed to take off their coats.
Michael Udin understands that as a substitute, he must always wait for the call of the head coach. The opportunity is for those who are ready. If I say I'm not ready to serve and hit my teammate in the head, then I shouldn't do it. involved in the NBA.
Michael Udin and Kobe looked at each other, as if they were saying, it's finally my turn!
In this rotation, Delma Harris trained in the training session, Kobe played in second position and Michael Udin played in fourth position.
Without Derek Fisher, Kobe would naturally have plenty of playing time, while Michael Udin would only be in a rotational position.
At the start of the second quarter, Sam Cassell dribbled into the frontcourt. The Phoenix Suns are looking for opportunities outside. Michael Finley failed to find Kobe and could only continue to flow the ball.
"When can Asian men play in the NBA?", Seeing the defending Odin, Wayman Tisdale muttered to himself somewhat disdainfully.
Against Asian youth, Waiman Tisdale thinks this is the best opportunity to score points, he is counting on Michael Udin to have the ball in high positions!
Michael Udin explained that he did not give the referee a chance to look at him.
After receiving the ball, Waiman Tisdale adjusted his posture to score a basket, a false three-threat shot, Michael Udin was too excited and almost jumped, but his feet were still very restrained and did not leave the ground!
waiman Tisdale saw Michael Udin's center of gravity slightly lifted and dribbled into the basket!
Michael Udin moved quickly to block, and the strong Wayman Tisdale slammed Michael Udin away, and he was about to take off and dip with his feet when he closed the ball and jumped!
For a veteran who has been fighting for 14 years, this is definitely an old man talking about teenage madness, and when he meets a rookie, he wants to abuse the basket!
If Michael Udin wasn't a rookie, or even an Asian rookie, Waiman Tisdale would have scored two points with a normal throw.
But he was defended by Michael Udin and felt insulted, he wanted to prove that Asians do not deserve to defend themselves.
It's a shame that even though Michael Udin is Asian doesn't mean that his defensive abilities are not good, Michael Udin immediately took a step forward and jumped high!
A Brutal and inhuman Block punches the ball and knocks Waiman Tisdale straight to the ground!
The bench for the Los Angeles Lakers stands and cheers!
Waiman Tisdale's dunk point was only 3.25 meters high, but Michael Udin fought so hard that his fingertips were at least 3.47 meters above the ground!
Michael Udin was like waiting in the air, covering Waiman Tisdale's one-handed dunk in the air!
Michael Udin watched the replay on the big screen when he was paused. He felt like the ball was blocked by LeBron James!
Waiman Tisdale sat directly on the ground. The NBA is not popular to honor the old and the young. After the floorball was snatched by Nick Van Exel, Michael Udin immediately went down with all his might.
Van Exel's shot was quick and he immediately distributed the ball to Kobe who had already reached the midfield!
Kobe faces Michael Finley, who retreats quickly!
Come to the three-second zone, take off instantly, watch the posture will buckle up!
It's a shame that Kobe's hands are a bit small, when he flies at the highest point, the ball is a bit out of control, and Michael Finley who has good physical qualities is also very annoying for Kobe!
Kobe could only adjust his posture in the air and turn him into a tie rod. Michael Finley's right arm touched Kobe's wrist, but the referee didn't whistle. Top left of the basket!
At this time, Michael Udin rushed to the horse, took off with his right foot, grabbed the ball with his left hand in the air, and smashed with all his might!
BAAMMM
Hard Dunk created from a combination of Lakers rookies
The Lakers bench, who hadn't sat down, started crying frantically, and Eddie Jones even started waving a towel.
O'Neill's great shark also made his mouth round and made a very exaggerated expression, it looks like he can put a watermelon in his mouth!
After Michael Udin scores, Michael Udin and Kobe don't give a high five to celebrate, but back off immediately!
This made Delma Harris very happy, her little notebook had recorded this good thing.
"Looks like some americans aren't quite capable of keeping Asians in the NBA!", Michael Udin ran to Waiman Tisdale and said with a smile.
How the old veteran, who has been in the NBA for more than ten years, endured such humiliation, Waiman Tisdale asked for the ball again.
Waiman Tisdale knew that attacking Michael Udin was unrealistic and he had to win with wisdom.
Waiman Tisdale's footwork is excellent, and real or false real and false really rocked the shot space. At this time, Michael Udin has not dared to take off. Jumping is an uncontroversial offence. Michael Udin could only try to annoy him as much as possible.
Wajman Tisdale's move is beautiful and complicated, but it takes a long time.
Kobe had been waiting for his chance for a long time, and with a slap he slapped Waiman Tisdale's right-hand basket on the backboard!
rebound
Squatting weight of 175 kg Michael Udin plays a role. Incredibly fast sling speed and proud wingspan make him the first to touch the ball and win the rebound!
Without the slightest delay, Michael Udin pushed with both hands, and the ball formed a beautiful parabola!
The fans at the scene had no idea who the ball was passed to, as there was no one in the Phoenix Suns basket area!
The moment Michael Udin saw the ball that was still in the air, Kobe flew out like a beast out of a cage!
Take the Ball!
Kobe jumps high and intercepts the ball inside the three-point line, dribbles one step, and his foot explodes! Turn a 360 degree dunk with one hand!
The Lakers bench that never stops frying again!
The audience shouted!
Phoenix Suns head coach Danny Angie is calling for a timeout furiously!
Kobe and Michael Udin pounded their chests with gusto, and another Lakers teammate ran up and touched the heads of these two young men!
"You two have the potential to participate in a dunk contest!" The dunk was recognized by 1992's dunk king Cedric Ceballos, and both Michael Udin and Kobe were deeply honored.
"Good job kid!
Looks like you've listened to my advice Your dietary changes have made you full of strength! ", Shaquille O'Neal's little fist punched Michael Udin in the chest, and Michael Udin almost spat out dinner.
"If you can invite me to eat, I will do better!", At this stage where power speaks, as long as you perform well enough, you can get the respect you want.
At least for now, Shaquille O'Neal approves of Michael Udin's appearance.
