Chapter 377

"The Lakers actually replaced Dwight Howard? What is this for? Did they give up the game?" Isiah Thomas sat in the live broadcast room and immediately said: "No, Kobe, Nash, Gasol None of them ended, that is to say...the Lakers only replaced Dwight Howard?"

"This...why did Mike D'Antoni do this?" Even Isiah Thomas, who admired Tang Qian more, was confused by the change of the Lakers at the moment. "Hey~ What's so strange about that?" Alonzo Mourning said directly: "Because Dwight Howard played badly this game~ Look at the statistics~ He made 14 of 2 field goals and 8 of 1 free throws. It's just horrible~"

"Even so, it's too..."

"Isaiah, haven't you played for a long time? Isn't it normal for you to be replaced if you don't play well?" Mourning's unintentional words woke up Isiah Thomas and said: "haha ~Alonzo, I haven’t played by myself for too long, and I have forgotten the rules of our era. The current team is too protective of stars. If you can’t play well in the 80s and 90s, it doesn’t matter who you are Well, Michael Jordan will sit on the bench honestly. It’s because I’ve watched too much New Century basketball, but my vision is not as clear as yours.”

"What is this, Isiah, are you kidding me?"

"No, no, Alonzo, I swear this is the truth." Isiah Thomas replied seriously.

"By the way, Alonzo, have you fought against Howard? What do you think of him?" Isiah Thomas asked suddenly.Mourning was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect the former to ask such a question. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said, "It's not so... well, it's okay, let's get by." Thomas smiled and said: "It's okay, we are all senior players, it doesn't matter if we say something that doesn't please you."

“是么？那我可就实话实说了。”在伊塞亚.托马斯一番话后，莫宁直接脱口就道：“他这个小子，就是占了时代的便宜，要是放在我们那个年代，估计三阵都进不去。”别以为莫宁是在说大话开玩笑，在整个90年代，那是中锋盛世，20+10连最佳阵容第三阵都进不去，一点也不稀奇。随便举几个赛季的例子，93-94赛季最佳阵容第一阵中锋哈基姆.奥拉朱旺场均27.3分11.9个篮板3.7次盖帽3.6次助攻。第二阵容中锋大卫.罗宾逊场均29.8分10.7个篮板3.3次盖帽4.8次助攻。第三阵容中锋沙克.奥尼尔场均29.3分13.2个篮板2.9次盖帽2.4次助攻。又如95-96赛季最佳阵容，第一阵中锋大卫.罗宾逊，场均25分12.2个篮板3.3次盖帽3.0次助攻。第二阵中锋哈基姆.奥拉朱旺，场均26.9分10.9个篮板2.9次盖帽3.6次助攻。第三阵中锋沙克.奥尼尔，场均26.6分11个篮板2.1次盖帽2.9次助攻。

In fact, throughout the 90s, the four major centers took turns. Even the top ten "Shark" O'Neal in history was at the bottom of the ranking many times in that era, and he was almost squeezed out of the best team.It can be seen that in that era, the competition for the center position was terrible.Mourning's words are absolutely true, without any moisture.And you have to know that in the best team, it is divided like this, two forward positions, two guard positions, these four positions are not subdivided into small positions.In other words, two PFs or two SGs can be selected at the same time.Then there's the center position.Unlike the previous four, there is only one center position.Therefore, the gold content of this position is the highest in the entire best lineup.

Although Dwight Howard now has 6 best teams and 5 first teams, but the modern era is an era of withered centers. His data is in Mourning's era. Let alone the best team, he can score once Well, that's all thank goodness.Not to mention that in that era when insiders were rampant, it was even more difficult for Howard to obtain today's data.Do not believe?Patrick Ewing, one of the top four centers in the 90s, had only one best team in his career, which proves that he played a near-abnormal average of 4 points, 28.6 rebounds, 10.9 assists and 2.2 blocks that year before successfully defeating the Olajuwon and David Robinson were forced to climb to the top.

而那年奥拉朱旺和大卫.罗宾逊是什么数据？前者24.3分14个篮板4.6次盖帽2.9次助攻，后者24.3分12个篮板3.9次盖帽2.0次助攻。试问这种数据，德怀特.霍华德能击败谁？就拿出他的最巅峰赛季来看，22.9+14.1+2.4+1.4，也和上面这两位差距甚远吧。oh~忘了，这俩人分别还有2.1次和1.7次的抢断。简直残暴到了极点！
And Mourning lives in this kind of league. Even if he scored 21 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.5 blocks in his rookie season, he has no personal honors. He has neither the best team nor the best defensive team.Do you try this set of data in this era?Does the first center still have to run?It's light if it blows directly into the sky!
What?You don't believe Mourning can get this kind of data? come.on~ Don't use Mourning after a kidney transplant as your standard, it's the same as taking Kobe after a ruptured Achilles tendon as your standard, it's not the same thing at all.In fact, before the kidney transplant, Mourning was absolutely omnipotent offensive and defensive, and also possessed a relatively stable mid-range shooting technique, ability to face the basket, and ability to protect the basket, which are much better than Howard.Although physical fitness and rebounding may not be as good as Howard, but combined, he will definitely not lose to the latter!And don't forget that most of his peak data were obtained in the 90s. It was far more difficult to obtain such data in that era than it is now.

A dungeon C level, a dungeon S+ level, can the data and honors obtained by the two be the same?
Look at the matchup data of the two after Howard entered the league. As long as Mourning plays more than 30+ minutes, the data of the two is almost evenly matched.Even in the 05-06 season when O'Neal was absent, Mourning surpassed Howard in terms of statistics. His 21 rebounds also surpassed Howard's 16 rebounds, with equal points and equal blocks.And among Mourning's 21 rebounds, 10 rebounds were offensive rebounds.

What?You said that the "Warcraft" was still a "cub" and hadn't grown up yet?Okay, let's just let it go straight. In the 05-06 season, Howard averaged 15.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. In addition to scoring, rebounding has almost begun to enter its peak state.And what about Mourning in the 05-06 season?An absolute Sharks substitute, playing exactly 20 minutes, far less than the former's 36.8 minutes.In less than half of the playing time, Mourning's data was 7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.7 blocks.For the sake of fairness, we take the 36-minute data. The former's data is 15.4 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks, and the latter's data is 14.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 4.8 blocks.In comparison, do they each have their own merits and advantages?In fact, Mourning's shooting percentage surpassed Howard's by nearly 7 percentage points that season.And how old was Howard that year?Exactly 20 years old, where is Mourning? 36 years old.The difference between the two is 16 years.

Therefore, Mourning, like O'Neal, doesn't think much of Howard. This is the reason. In fact, Mourning once said in an interview with "SLAM" that if he is healthy and placed in the current league, he must be number one. center.See clearly, Mourning's word is "definitely".In other words, in his eyes, Howard is nothing at all. Whether he is the current No. [-] center in the league or not, in his eyes, he is also at the level of ordinary goods.

After all, he is the man who has overtaken O'Neill's top team and first defense. Is that kind of ability a joke?
You let Howard try to snatch O'Neal's double team in the 98-99 season?See if you can succeed?However, Mourning achieved this. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After only one season, he was forced to undergo surgery due to kidney problems. Since then, his competitive state has plummeted and he will never return to his peak period.That year, he was only 30 years old, which should be the golden age of basketball players who have made great achievements.

It's a pity that his illness took away his peak performance time.

But in the end, he came back three times, risked his life, and won an NBA championship trophy. This is the best ending God gave him.

But he doesn't have Howard in his eyes, that's definitely true. Having experienced insider fighting in the 90s, he thinks Howard is just the lucky one of the era.

"Can't make it to the third team? Isn't that too exaggerated?" After all, the host Rachel Nix is ​​not yet 40 years old, and she has never seriously studied or watched the games in the 90s. "No, Rachel, that's not an exaggeration at all. I just retired in that era, and my memory is still fresh. It was simply a nightmare era for inside players." Isiah Thomas helped Mourning: "Even the most Howard at his peak may not have the best team throughout the 90s. Because in that era, there were really too many inside geniuses, and it is completely different from the current withering inside. You can look back and check the data , it will be clear."

"Then Alonzo, what do you think of that Chinese man? Can he replace Howard in this game?" Rachel Nix seemed to be interested, and continued to ask with her mouth open. "It's hard to say. I haven't watched the NBA recently, but I still know about the so-called 'Tangyrant' some time ago. I can only say this." After thinking for a while, Mourning said: "I am more I like the No. 29 of the Lakers, his energy is more to my liking."

"Haha~ The guy who is known as the iron man can speak his words after retiring. This is really a big change!" Isiah Thomas deliberately teased after hearing the words. "Hey, it's okay if you don't change a little bit. Now these stars and fans are too crazy. I'm afraid my house will be set on fire if I'm not careful!" Mourning also smiled and joked.

The camera turns back to the scene of the game, in the Staples Center.

"Thank you, Steve, thank you for helping me." Don whispered beside Nash before going on stage.

"You don't need to thank me, hot." Steve Nash said: "I let you play, not for personal feelings, just for the team's victory, do you understand? So, if you really want to thank me, then go ahead For the next seven or eight minutes, just play hard and defend hard, this is the biggest reward."

"Well, I will, Steve." Tang Qian nodded and said.

Since he had just completed the "Different Space Mission" to tie 16 points, Tang Qian got a silver ability card fragment. Now his ability card inventory is a bronze stamina card, a bronze block card, and a gold ability card. One fragment and two silver ability card fragments.The latter cannot be used directly, so Tang Qian's choice is...

"Hey~ The Lakers actually replaced you and Howard. It seems that you are ready to admit defeat, right?" Chris Bosh spit after seeing Tang Qian walk into the inside lane of the Heat. road.Because just now, the brief confrontation between him and Tang Qian made him feel very unhappy.So now that I have the opportunity, I can't help but turn to Tang Qian.

"Have you forgotten the pain I suppressed just now?" After hearing this, Tang Qian just glanced at the other party and replied lightly.

"What?" Bosh got angry when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Just one round, what does it mean? Do you really think you will hang yourself in the sky?" "Isn't one round enough?" Tang Qian said: "Then come more A few rounds."

After finishing speaking, Tang Qian ignored Bosh and concentrated on running and blocking.

The Heat's defense against Tang Qian is still the same as Howard's. One person behind defends, and the rest rotate at a high speed, ready to jump up to help defend at any time.This trick to lock down the big center in low post singles is indeed miraculous, but the problem is... Tang Qian has no low post singles ability at all.He was just a high pick-and-roll, which nullified the Heat's low-post defense. He still cut in with Steve Nash, and then Kobe moved quickly to find an open space.

"Follow Kobe, follow Kobe!!!" All the Heat members shouted in their mouths, because without Howard, the Lakers' offensive point is actually only Kobe Bryant.So Heat coach Eric Spoelstra secretly made tactical adjustments, and the team's defensive focus gradually focused on No. 24 of the Lakers.

Nash pushed his right hand, and it seemed that he was going to pass it in Kobe's direction. The Heat members quickly concentrated, and the energy of most of the team was involved.But at the moment Nash passed the ball, he kicked back with one wrist, and the basketball flew directly behind his head.This is one of Nash's passing skills, a one-handed wrist backhand pass.During the peak period, it is not uncommon for the opponent's overall defense to collapse collectively.

"Steve made a good pass! The receiver is! God! A beautiful connecting dunk!" Bill McDonald said.

Tang Qian flew up desperately after getting the ball, and then slammed it straight at the Heat's basket.

Boom!

With almost no obstacles, Tang Qian completed the dunk, because most of the Heat's defensive energy was absorbed by No. 24.

"Damn it! Let that brat dunk again! It's really unpleasant!" Chris Bosh said disdainfully after seeing Tang Qian's successful dunk.

87-99, the Lakers caught up with a two-pointer.

But the Heat didn't care too much, because James quickly made a pull-up jumper on the spot.

Although the posture is ordinary, it is more practical.

Brush ~87-101, the score difference returned to 14 points again.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Nash reached the inside again, and then passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe finally made the ball, brush~, 89-101.

The Heat James passed the ball to Bosh, and Bosh made a mid-range shot, 89-103.

The Lakers Nash passed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe made another mid-range hit!
91-103.

It can be seen that Kobe's touch is finally showing some signs of recovery.

This is definitely a great thing for the Lakers, otherwise, without the strongest point of the team, it would be almost impossible to beat the Heat.The Heat James passed the ball again, this time it was Wade's mid-range jumper, "Bang~", it was finally short.Although Wade's jump shot is not bad, it is far from superior, so it is unstable and extremely normal.Many fans said that Wade's scoring ability is restricted by two factors: one is height, and the other is mid-range and long-range shooting. Otherwise, with the "Flash"'s breakthrough ability and impact at the basket, even if he can't achieve the feat of averaging 35+ points per game , It should also be able to reach around 33+, not the season with the highest scoring average of only 30.2 points.Moreover, the average score of more than 30+ points per game is only once, and his persuasion and hard power are far from the real historical scoring masters.

"Backboard!"

"rebound!"

Seeing that Wade missed a shot, Bosh immediately prepared to get stuck, and then competed for an offensive rebound. But at this moment, a yellow figure, faster and earlier than him, seized the golden triangle under the basket.

Both of them jumped up, but the ball, with perfect precision, fell into Tang Qian's hands obediently.

Chris Bosh lost another rebound.

"Steve!"

Tang Qian passed the ball to Steve Nash with one hand. Nash advanced the whole court and counterattacked defensively, but he was good at it.After playing around, Nash chose to make a layup by himself. He caught him by surprise and caught him off guard. The Heat didn't even react.Lianzhuang's MVP's strength is fully displayed.Many people subconsciously ignore this Canadian when discussing the great stars in the first decade of the 21st century. In fact, Steve Nash is one of the few Erlian Zhuang MVP stars in the history of the NBA for more than 60 years.As of January 2013, there are only 1 people who can achieve this honor in the entire history.They are Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem "Skyhook", Moses Malone, Larry Bird, "Magic" Johnson, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, LeBron James.

Look at this string of names, is every one of them resounding?Steve Nash's ability to join this "Lianzhuang MVP Club" is in itself a recognition of his personal strength.

93-103.

The Heat attacked, James broke through and scored, and Ray Allen shot a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the left. The movement was perfect and the arc was moderate, but in the end it hit the front of the basket and failed to hit the basket.This is the shortcoming of the three-point shooter. No matter how big the opening is, no matter how good the shot is, as long as the hand feels not in place, then they will smash the basket and hit the iron without any discussion.Ray Allen's three-pointer is accurate enough, the top batch in history definitely has his name, but he still made a super tragic shooting rate of 13 for 0 in the finals?And you must know that in the last game, he also scored 32 points, including 8 three-pointers, setting a record for three-pointers in a single game in the NBA Finals.

Day by day, although the probability of this kind of thing happening is very small, it also shows from the side how important things like hand feel are to pure shooters.

James passed the ball very well, and Ray Allen had no problem shooting the three-pointer, but in the end, he just missed the basket.

"rebound!"

"Grab the basketball!"

Players on both sides who couldn't reach the rebound shouted loudly towards the inside of the Lakers.

Gasol, Udonis Haslem, Chris Bosh, and Tang Qian all crowded under the Lakers' basket, ready to fight for the rebound.This is the charm of the penalty area. This is the territory belonging to the big men, and outside players are strictly prohibited from entering.

"mine!"

"its mine!"

"My rebound!"

Several roars flew out together, and the Lakers' basket suddenly became violent.

Gasol's rebound position is not good. Unless a miracle happens, he will be the first to be out.

The only ones who are eligible to continue competing are Haslem, Bosh, and Tang Qian.

"It's a pair of two at the basket, can he win? Can he get this rebound?" Bill McDonald's voice kept ringing through the commentary microphone.

Since Tang Qian was an absolute bench before, neither Bosh nor Haslem had any chance to confront him head-on.Tonight, it is the first time to experience the strength of this Eastern center.

Great slot!What a precise pace move!Great use of the body!
This oriental is not simple!Not the level of an ordinary substitute!
This is Haslem and Bosh heart, while the feeling of rising.

Through the careful training of Dennis Rodman during the offseason, Tang Qian's rebounding ability has grown considerably. It is completely different from last season, and he is completely different.If Tang Qian faced this situation last season, he might still be in a hurry and feel a lot of pressure, but now, he is completely calm, and he can't see any fluctuations on his face.

Haslem Udonis has 7.0 career rebounds and averaged 5.4 per game this season. He is no longer at his peak.

Chris Bosh, who has 8.5 rebounds in his career and averaged 6.8 per game this season, is also not at his peak.

This season, the two together averaged only 12.2 rebounds per game. Could it be that I am afraid?
You know, I am a student of Dennis Rodman, how can I lose to such two insiders in rebounding?
Not disrespectful, Bosh's rebounding ability this season is almost the same as that of Haslem, even if it is higher, it is still at the second- and third-rate level.Not much difference.

And what about Tang Qian?This season, he is a man with more than 11+ rebounds per game!

So in this competition, he must win, not lose.

"Hot~ hit the rebound, he hit the rebound first~ but he couldn't get it~" Bill McDonald said in a regretful voice.But right away, he changed his tone and continued: "oh~ hot for the second jump~ and then... got this rebound!!!"

"He got it!!!"

"Caught this rebound between two Heat players, Chris Bosh and Haslem Udonis!!!"

"He succeeded!!!"

PS: I was not very comfortable at first, and I wanted to ask for a leave of absence for a while, but some book friends are too domineering~ A reward made Xiaozi's face croak~ In order not to disappoint this same domineering book friend , Xiao Zi worked hard, and continued to write, tonight's more explosions will definitely happen! ! !

But after finishing writing, it is estimated to be very late in time, everyone can't wait to read it tomorrow morning~
