Battle: The most difficult player in the NBA is him, who is 10 days late in defense and has explosive coordination
Who is the hardest player in the NBA to defend?
As one of the first NBA representatives, Monk Battle definitely had a say, and in his time, he played for many NBA teams, including the Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Orlando Magic and New York Knicks, he was the second Chinese player to enter the NBA, and the first Asian player to win an NBA championship.
Battle is tall and strong, but at the NBA level, Battle's speed and agility are still relatively lacking, so on the highest basketball stage in the world, he can only play as a center, and most of the defensive players are centers, and many coaches also use him as a meat shield defensive center.
Back then, the Spurs were able to break the monopoly of the OK combination on the championship and crush their dream of four consecutive championships, because they invited Battle to train him as a stand-in for O'Neal.
As early as 2001, Battle signed with the Nuggets and became the first Chinese player to start in the NBA, and later Battle won the championship in the Spurs, after moving to the Raptors, Battle once defended the big shark O'Neal and knocked it down directly, as a result, O'Neal was lying on the ground in pain and couldn't get up, such a rare scene is unbelievable, in the past, only O'Neal knocked others away, how can anyone knock down the huge O'Neal, and can't get up!
In the national team, as well as in the CBA, Battle has also played against countless well-known centers, including the well-known Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming in China, as well as many internationally renowned players, but Battle believes that the most difficult center to defend is still this one.
Battle said that when he plays, he usually takes three days off for a ball. That is, after a high-intensity match, it takes 3 days to recover "full blood". But to prevent O'Neal, he will have to delay for 10 days!
Anti-O'Neal is like Tarzan at the top, 218 height, speed, coordination and explosiveness are all explosive existences, Battle is definitely in the center, O'Neill is the most difficult to defend.
Battle believes that no one can guard against O'Neal at his peak, and he is definitely one of the top three centers in NBA history.
Regarding the scene when the Raptors knocked O'Neal down, he fell to the ground, Battle personally responded to this interesting incident, he said: "Can't you prevent it from fouling."
It's really like that, he can't prevent it at all, does not foul him easily wreak havoc under the basket?
Just such a short sentence is enough to show O'Neal's strength, but Battle's power is not a joke, he will not let the opponent easily score under the basket he guards, even if it is a foul.
