Total score: As of March 22nd, 2009, O 'Neill's career total score reached 274 1 1, surpassing the famous rocket moses malone and rising to the fifth place in the history list.
Draft situation: 1992 1 round 1 was selected by magic. After the end of the season from 1995 to 1996, O 'Neill left Orlando Magic. Later, he signed a seven-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, worth $654.38+200 million, and officially joined the Los Angeles Lakers. O' Neill's injury in 1996- 1997 season had an average performance. 1997-98NBA season, two important players, rick fox and robert horry, came to the Lakers to strengthen the offensive power of the team. In this NBA season, O 'Neill and his teammates won 6 1, but were defeated by Utah Jazz 0-4 in the Western Conference finals.
1998-99 season, the Lakers got former Bulls player dennis rodman, and the team also achieved a record of 3 1 win 19 loss (the season was reduced to 50 games due to the closure of the stadium), and entered the playoffs. Although he defeated Houston Rockets 3-/Kloc-0-0 in the first round in the West, he was swept out of the house by San Antonio Spurs 0-4 in the second round. O' Neill's performance in that year was average.
1999-2000 season, the Lakers were joined by former Bulls coach Phil Jackson, which quickly showed the team's courage and became the first in the West with a score of 67 wins 15 losses, and entered the playoffs. This year was also the best year of O 'Neill's career, with 29.7 points and 13.6 rebounds. 1999-2000 season, 23 playoff games, O 'Neill averaged 30.7 points, 2.4 blocked shots, 15.4 rebounds and 56.6% shooting percentage. He beat Divac's 2m 18, Sun's Weber, Li Lang's 2m 18 and Li Lang's 2m. Rasheed Wallace advanced to the finals with a strong defense of 2m 1 1 and numerous double tackles and fouls. In the finals, against the rogue defense of Smith, the Dutch captain of 2m 2 1 and Dale Davis, he averaged 38 points and 16.7 rebounds, and won the title of MVP in the finals without any suspense. Before that, he also won MVP awards in the All-Star Game (shared with tim duncan) and the regular season respectively, becoming the first and only player to win all MVP awards in the same season after Jordan 1998.
In 2000-0 1 season, O 'Neill defeated Kings, Trailblazers and Spurs in the Western Division and advanced to the finals. O 'Neal scored 33 points and 15.6 rebounds in the finals, leading the team to win the championship in five games, while the Lakers 15 and 1 lost that year. In this 16 playoff game, O 'Neill scored 30.4 points, 3.2 assists 15.4 rebounds and shot 56.6%.
0 1-02 season, O 'Neill led the Lakers to win the championship again. In the finals, he averaged 36.3 points 12.3 rebounds against the Nets.
The three-year hegemony period (99-00, 00-0 1, 0 1-02) can be said to be the peak of O 'Neill's career. Although all teams tried their best to reduce their offensive and defensive strength on the court, including the famous "Hack-the-Shaq", the effect was not great, so O 'Neill called himself "Shaq". In the three-year playoffs, O 'Neill, like Jordan, won the MVP in the finals for three consecutive years, and the limelight was the same.
In the 2002-03 season, O 'Neill refused to have toe surgery in the summer, so that he could only play 67 games in the season, and the team only scored 50 wins and 32 losses. Although his all-star teammate Kobe Bryant played the best score of his career at that time, averaging 30 points per game, he could not escape the bad luck of being defeated by the Spurs in the second round of the Western Conference. Later, in order to save O 'Neill's face, the team took Horry as a scapegoat, but it also deepened the discord between him and Kobe.
In the 2003-04 season, karl malone and gary payton joined the Lakers. They formed the strongest fantasy team in the league and entered the finals again. However, to everyone's surprise, although O 'Neill, 32, suffered a leg injury and faced the double Wallace defense with 26.6 points/10.8 rebounds/1.6 assists /63% shooting percentage, the Lakers lost to the Detroit Pistons with 1-4 in the finals. The Lakers' golden lineup also collapsed after the game. OK's relationship has further deteriorated, and it has reached an irreparable level. But the question is, will the Lakers put O 'Neal in charge or Kobe in charge? Everyone's answer is different, and Kubcek chose the latter. He traded "Sharks" for three and started the reconstruction of the Lakers, but one of them was fired and the other was traded. The return of "Jackson" finally brought good news to Los Angeles. O 'Neill enjoyed the "boss treatment" in the Heat, but Kubcek didn't find a right-hand man for Kobe Bryant. The "O 'Neill era" of the Lakers is over.
PS:
I'm afraid the ending of the OK group will break the hearts of many Lakers fans. Other stars can't get along at most. O 'Neill and Kobe Bryant fought side by side for eight years and won the championship three times. In the end, they all had great hatred, and they couldn't wait to eat each other alive.
They entered Los Angeles at the same time on 1996. At the beginning of the cooperation, they had sad memories of being swept away by jazz and other tycoons year after year. The third consecutive championship in 2000-2002 was OK's honeymoon period and peak work, especially in 2006, 5438+0, which set an unprecedented record of playoff 15 wins 1 losses, making newcomers even more daunting.
Unfortunately, with Kobe's full wings and O 'Neill's youth, this combination with unprecedented lethality finally parted ways. In 2003, Kobe Bryant broke out in an all-round way, scoring 40 points in nine consecutive games, and the leadership of the Lakers began to hand over. However, since then, the Lakers began to drift away from the championship.
Hot period
O 'Neill's arrival not only helped Miami Heat technically, but also benefited this team mentally. As long as O 'Neal is at the last stop, the Heat players will be full of confidence. As long as you give the ball to O 'Neill in the attack, you can slowly run to your own basket. It doesn't matter if the opponent misses the defense when attacking. Anyway, there is O 'Neal in the basket. It is O 'Neill's selfless team that has made such rapid progress, and Wade's progress has also benefited from O 'Neill's inculcation. What O 'Neill said most when he came to Miami was that I was Wade's big brother and had an obligation to help him improve. O 'Neal will try his best to create opportunities for Wade in the game. With the help of O 'Neill, Wade won the first place in the team for 42 times in 2004-2005, while O 'Neill only won the first place in the team for 32 games. After the arrival of O 'Neill, the Heat changed completely and finally achieved the best record in the East, with 59 wins and 23 losses. If it weren't for Nash's fabulous performance in Phoenix, O 'Neill would have won his second regular season MVP. In the playoffs, the Heat also reached the Eastern Conference finals, but lost seven games to the Pistons.
In the 2005-06 season, the team joined Peyton, alonzo mourning, antoine walker, jayson williams and other players, and its strength increased greatly. Finally, they met the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals. Although O 'Neill's state declined, with the help of a group of players, he finally solved the Pistons 4-2, led the team to the finals for the first time in history, and beat the Dallas Mavericks in four straight games from 0-2, winning the first championship in the history of the Heat. O 'Neill also won his fourth individual championship ring, and the first ring without Kobe's assistance.
In the 2006-07 season, O 'Neill and Wade's Heat sought to defend their titles, but lost to the Bulls who owned Ben Wallace in the opening match of the new season. O 'Neill retired due to injury in the middle of the season (only played 40 games in the whole season). Even with Wade's support, the team still lingered on the edge after the game and even fell out of the quarter-finals. After the All-Star Game, Wade retired from the fire line because of dislocated shoulder, and O 'Neill, who was criticized for being senile and no longer commanding the basket as in the past, was ordered to take on the heavy responsibility of leading the team, and the team's record gradually climbed. In addition, the record of the Washington Wizards was also fluctuating, and finally the Heat regained the leading position in the Southeast Division. O 'Neill's performance during this period was also impressive. However, in the playoffs, the opponent is the opening game of the Bulls. In a one-sided situation, the Heat was swept out of the house with a score of 0-4, becoming the first defending team eliminated in the first round since 2000. O 'Neill's dominance in the whole series is not what it used to be, averaging only 18.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 30.3 minutes, the lowest playing time in his career. He only scored 17.3 points and 7.4 rebounds in the whole season, which was the lowest in his career (averaging less than 20 points for the first time in his career) and was not selected for the NBA best team for the first time in his career.
In 2007-08, O 'Neill's condition went from bad to worse. Hip injury and left knee pain greatly affected O 'Neill's contribution on the court. In the first 32 games of the season, he only scored 14 points and 7.8 rebounds, far below the career average. O 'Neill even expressed his hope to trade to a strong team in the middle of the season. As a result, the team traded him for shawn marion and marcus banks, and O 'Neal got the Phoenix Suns.
solar period
Ordinary fans and football critics question whether O 'Neill is suitable for the Suns' style. O 'Neill expressed his dissatisfaction at the press conference and threatened to win the first championship for the Suns. O 'Neill chose to face his old club, the Lakers, as his first game. Although he finally lost to the Lakers, O 'Neill's brave performance in the fourth quarter, including scoring six points in a row, won unanimous praise from coaches, teammates and fans.
In the 2008 NBA playoffs, the Suns met the San Antonio Spurs, a strong western team, in the first round, and the two teams played double overtime in the first game. Finally, tim duncan's key three points helped the Spurs win the first game. The Suns couldn't succeed in this series, and finally the Spurs eliminated the Suns with a record of 4-/kloc-0-0 in the first round of the playoffs. But O 'Neill averaged only 15.2 points and 9.2 rebounds in this series.
In the 2008-2009 season, O 'Neill was quite rejuvenated. Like teammate grant hill, all the previous injuries have disappeared, and the performance is getting better and better compared with the previous two seasons. Not only did he score 45 points against Toronto Raptors, but he also became the second player in history to score 45+ at the age of 37 (the other is Michael Jordan). Then he scored 33 points without Nash and Stoudemire, leading the team to beat the Western Conference leader Lakers, which made him the fourth 35-year-old player in history to score 30+ in two consecutive games (the other three are Karl Malone, Ingley and Jordan). The team also changed, sending Raja Bell and boris diaw to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for the excellent scorer Jason Richardson. Under the leadership of new coach Terry Porter, the Suns will break away from the previous tactical period of running and bombing and play a brand-new style.
However, the good times did not last long. Porter's Suns didn't get good grades, and then he was fired. Under the leadership of the team's assistant coach, he returned to the style of running and blasting. The only difference is that the offensive is changed from "within 7 seconds" to "7 seconds or O 'Neill". This strategy put the team back on track. Although he didn't make it to the playoffs, O 'Neill also played well (17.8 points).
