O'Neill and Gobert's feud has escalated!
Realistically speaking, the feud between O'Neill and Gobert was mainly caused by O'Neill's displeasure with Gobert.
Gobert renewed his contract early for 5 years, 205 million in the 2020 offseason, which was the largest center contract in NBA history at the time. You know, a center like O'Neal's historical level has made so much money all his career. This made O'Neill very unhappy, publicly mocking Gobert: "What an inspirational example, averaging 11 points per game for 200 million US dollars!" ”
After the Jazz were eliminated in the playoffs this season, the media exposed the news that Gobert asked the team to choose 1 out of 2. O'Neal was adamantly supportive of the Jazz in dealing with Gobert: "Deal with Rudy! Who would want to give that much to a player who can't score? ...... The rules of the game are changing, and defense wins championships, and offense can. Rudy is a great player, a great defensive player, but he doesn't contribute anything on the offensive end. ”
Gobert rarely responded publicly to O'Neill's remarks. But O'Neill chased after him, still not sparing Gobert, and finally caused Gorbe to fight back. Recently, O'Neill participated in a show in which the American Internet celebrity Xiao Fat, who is known for his strange shooting posture, began to provoke trouble, and he said to O'Neill on the show: "Gobert can limit you to about 12 points." O'Neill's response was: "Yeah, 3 minutes to give me 12 points." ”
The good-natured Gobert couldn't bear it this time, and publicly responded to O'Neill on his personal social media: "I can prevent him from dying." And added a "lock" expression. Gobert's response sparked a heated discussion among fans. Most fans think O'Neal is not bragging, the peak O'Neal met the peak Of Gobert, if O'Neal wants to play, it is really possible to get 12 points in 3 minutes.
Do you think O'Neal can score 12 points in 3 minutes against Gobert's defense?
Do you think Gobert can kill O'Neill?
