O 'Neill and Kobe Bryant were not friends when they partnered, and there were always rumors of discord. From time to time, they will argue about who is the owner of the team.
However, the combination of two people is indeed the "king bombing" combination of the NBA in the past, one inside and one outside, combining inside and outside, and complementing inside and outside. At that time, the whole Lakers were able to storm on the stump, break through on the side, counterattack quickly, project from the outside and grasp the rhythm!
Note that the rhythm is dominated by Kobe. In fact, Kobe made great self-sacrifice to cooperate with O 'Neal, and the running-in effect on the court was great!
Does not necessarily change people. Maybe Iverson is too fast, McGrady is too slow or too high, and Carter is too erratic and not so easy.
? O 'Neill's partner Hardaway failed. O 'Neill tried to combine inside and outside. Before partnering with Kobe Bryant, his partner was Hardaway, and he performed magic in Orlando! Although the pair also successfully reached the final, they were still one step away from the championship and failed to win it.
It should be said that there is no problem with O 'Neill and Hardaway's ability, but at that time, both of them were young and inexperienced, and their control of the rhythm of the game was not so good. They lost to the combination of Olajuwon and drexler, who was more experienced.
So a good partner must meet the right person at the right time! Golden partner, which is so easy?
? Can O 'Neill partner Wade? Some fans said O 'Neill went to the Heat and won a championship with Wade.
However, we should be clear that when the Heat won the championship, O 'Neill's position had declined. At that time, the team's role distribution, which was dominated by Wade and supplemented by O 'Neill, was innate!
If O 'Neal is at his peak, the distribution of the ball between him and Wade is also a big problem! The salary cap will also be a big problem.
