Chapter 644 Swept

Tang Qian failed to scramble for the ball!
This is a very rare thing!You must know that Olajuwon said that the official height is 7 feet, which is 213CM. In fact, this is the height after wearing the center's thick-soled basketball shoes.His real height is at most 210cm, maybe he can't even reach this figure.As for why they bid higher, it is the same as some people who bid lower, all in order to get their favorite position on the court.

Otherwise, it is only considered barefoot. Olajuwon is estimated to be playing the 4th position, and it is difficult to top the 5th position.

Olajuwon's bounce is actually very good, and his bounce speed is also the strongest in NBA history. Otherwise, why do you think he blocked the peak Joe God 4 times in one game?Otherwise, how do you think he sits on the throne of NBA history block leader?If he is purely technical, then he probably has to make up for the career highlights and game videos of "Dream".This guy is actually a top center in every aspect except his height.

At least it is between first-class and top-notch.

Otherwise, sitting firmly at the top of the four major centers and "humiliating" the other three in the playoffs, this has no physical fitness, and it is purely about technology, which must be the remarks of fake fans.Chinese players talk about technical basketball all day long. How many are particularly good at it?After Yao Ming went to the NBA, he sighed that without a body, there is no skill, which is a mockery of the so-called "pure technical basketball".

Especially inside players, are you purely technical?If that's not a fairy tale, what is it?
But even so, Tang Qian should be able to overwhelm Olajuwon in the scrimmage. Just now...

Okay, what a strong aura, this guy's aura suppressed me?

It sounds a bit mysterious, but if you look at interviews and interviews with NBA players, you can often find that players have talked about this issue many times-"momentum suppression".Among them, O'Neal's remarks are the most famous. He once publicly said on TNT TV's Inside.the.NBA program that Big Dream is the only insider who is immune to my "teaching human attributes" and at the same time teaching me how to be human.When we met in the finals that year, I knew that Dameng was very good, but I didn't expect him to be so good. After all, if I made a violent move at that time, I would be afraid.But guess what happened to him, Dameng just smiled at me, and then beat me up both offensively and defensively.I thought about resisting, but you don't know, that guy's aura is too strong. For the first time in my life, I felt that I was overwhelmed by just his aura.

Anyone who is really familiar with basketball should know what kind of personality O'Neal is. If you don't convince him, it is impossible for him to be polite to you.Not to mention such admiration.Look at his evaluation of the legendary center "Skyhook", and you should understand what kind of psychological shadow the peak Olajuwon has left on O'Neal.Although there are elements of exaggeration, there are not many people in the entire NBA who may convince O'Neal so publicly.

Hakeem Olajuwon, this 15-year-old didn't start playing basketball, and 17-year-old officially went to American universities to hone his skills. After just a few years, he became the most powerful person in the 84th draft!Even overwhelmed God Qiao!What kind of talent is this?According to the scout who discovered him in Nigeria at the time, Pound, it was too late for Dameng to get involved in basketball. If he had grown up in the United States and received systematic basketball education since he was a child, then I am sure that he would be No.1 in history. Substitution.

Qiao Shen also once said that Dameng is not an earth center, he is a small forward!If he doesn't play shooting guard, he hopes to become Olajuwon!
So O'Neal's words prove that this is not an illusory thing, just like the "The.Zone" state that Jordan once proposed, it sounds unreal, but as a real NBA player, you can clearly feel it.

Tang Qian now feels like this.

As soon as the game started, he was enveloped and suppressed by an inexplicable momentum. This was something he had never encountered in previous games.Of course, this is also related to the decline of super insiders in the 21st century. How old are Duncan and Garnett? In 13, Duncan was 37 years old and Garnett was 37 years old. They are both absolute "old bones", and their strength is not half as strong as that of their peak period.The natural momentum is no longer there, and it is not obvious.

But the man in front of him is at his peak, with both offense and defense, and on the way to two consecutive championships, the other three major centers in the 2s met him and were wiped out.This domineering made the name "Big Dream" Olajuwon the most brilliant name in the 90s after Michael Jordan.

That being the case, it is only natural that this kind of aura will be produced. A super center should of course have the posture of a super center.

Hakeem Olajuwon is a veritable super center.

In the second decade of the 21st century, there is no such thing as a super insider overlord.

Therefore, this is the first overlord-level insider that Tang Qian encountered head-on.

At the end of the first quarter, Tang Qian came off the court to take a rest. His whole body was like soaking in a water tank, sweating profusely, and he couldn't stop it at all.

"Hot, that guy is very strong, don't fight him head-on." Danny Fortson said on the bench, but there was no nourishment in these words, because saying them was tantamount to saying nothing.If someone wants to attack, if you don't fight him, what should you do?Do you want to get out of the way?That Olajuwon estimated a game to score 100 points.Besides, the inside line is so big, where can you let it go?

After halftime, Tang Qian was completely knocked out. Olajuwon scored nearly 20 points in the halftime.It even made No. 29 of the Lakers have an idea that he used to play basketball for nothing.

This is the real overlord of insiders, and the last ten years of the 21st century are all "ordinary insiders".

Olajuwon is not a fool either. His physical strength is much better than Tang Qian's. He has averaged 42+~43+ minutes per game even in the championship season. Basically, he can rest for at most 5 minutes in a game, so he can free up his hands. The substitute lineup for the Tang Qian team.Tang Qian actually defended the former a few balls, but after discovering that the Lakers' No. 29 was "more difficult to chew", Olajuwon chose to avoid the battle temporarily. Choose the main attack, so that the efficiency will immediately increase.

This kind of "scraping points" mode is different from "scoring points" in garbage time. This is a strategy with a high golf quotient, and it requires players to have super physical fitness.Otherwise, if the main players are off, you are also off, so what are you talking about "substitutes"?
Before entering "garbage time", everything is working to win.

Quasi-super scoring, Tang Qian struggled to defend, not to mention Hakeem Olajuwon was a real inside super scorer during the consecutive championship period!Do you know how difficult it is for an insider to average 33+ per game in the playoffs?As strong as "Shark" O'Neal, he has never played this average data before.Yes, that's right, the so-called "big diesel engine" Ao Pang, except for the late 90s, basically had no quasi-super-scoring performance, let alone a real super-scorer.It was only after the situation of many insiders in the 90s that he rose to prominence and "barely" entered the realm of a super scorer.

During the dynasty, O'Neal's best performance was not in the playoffs in the Western District, but in the finals, averaging 36+ once, 33+ once, and 38+ once.Without these "abuses" in the Eastern Conference of the finals, he might not be able to enter the field of super scorers at all.Against the Eastern Conference players, O'Neal's inside advantage is too great, which has greatly improved his scoring average.

Why couldn't he do it in the early, middle and late 90s?Can only "rule the roost" at the end of the 90s?There are two reasons. One is that his personal strength has not yet reached its peak, and the other is that during that time, there were too many powerful insiders in the league, and it was difficult for him to perform at the "killing level".So it is even more obvious that Olajuwon is strong with an average of 33+ points per game, because he has swept the other 3 major centers along the way, and his performance is dominant. If you say he is not strong, it must be "parallel space". of.

The man who led the strongest team in the 90s and the man who needed the least help was Hakeem Olajuwon. During the first championship period, there was no All-Star in the team except himself. Neither the best lineup nor the best defensive team.It's funny to say that the strongest person is the 32-year-old Otis Thorpe. Although he was selected as an All-Star substitute two years ago, he has degraded significantly in the championship season, leaving only an average of 2+14 per game. In the playoffs, the average is only close to 10+11 per game.Leading a lineup with no all-stars, no defenses, and no defenses, they can get close all the way and sweep all directions. This is a bit unreal no matter how you look at it.

No wonder the five basic statistics are the first in the team. Otherwise, there is no way to win.

In terms of single-core leadership, there are really only Dameng and 03 Deng Dai, but Duncan also had a second-defense Bowen back then, which can be regarded as a "black spot" that is not a black spot.But Duncan overturned the Lakers dynasty that year, and this also needs to be added, so compared to the legend, the two are almost the same.However, in terms of personal ability, Dameng is better than Duncan. Regardless of offense and defense, as for team strengthening, Duncan is better than Dameng.

Another insider of the Tang Qian team, Ben Wallace, was completely stunned by Olajuwon when Tang Qian was off the court, because single defense was not Ben Wallace's strong point, let alone he was He likes to defend the inside line with good physical fitness, but Ben Wallace has not been very good at defending physical fitness + technical explosion flow.Coincidentally, the No. 34 of the Rockets is the most skilled and sharpest No. 5 in NBA history. In the 80s and 90s, all major inside superstars could not restrain him, let alone Ben Wallace.

With 41 points in the game, "Big Dream" Olajuwon took the game away in one breath. As for his teammates, including Drexler, they "lay down and won" without much effort.Tang Qian only scored 6 points and 10 rebounds in the game, without assists or blocks.

The first game made him understand a problem. This is definitely the Rockets during the entire defending period, and there is no season distinction at all.

So it means that he is likely to run into the scariest Rockets, the scariest Olajuwon.

The second game was still held at the Compaq Center, and it was another big defeat, nothing else, mainly because the Rockets couldn't defend No. 34.Therefore, from the inside out, the whole process collapsed.Curry and Ray Allen are obviously under great restrictions in this era. With the popularity of hand-checking, outside players with weak breakthrough ability will not be able to open up space and make easy shots.Well, even if you break through by force, there is still Olajuwon, the super god inside. Olajuwon's supplementary defense and single defense are at the top level in history, and there is also a DPOY bonus during the defending period. In addition, there is no reasonable collision zone protection... Curry and Ray Allen rushed in, that is "looking for cover" or "looking for collision".The penalty scale in this era is very loose. Do you want a "body whistle"?That was daydreaming!

Not to mention the huge difference in teammates' tacit understanding and chemical reaction, Tang Qian's team is not as good as the consecutive championship team in this regard.

So go straight back to the Staples Center with a big score of 0-2.

In the third game, Tang Qian's team modified their tactics and focused on the inside. But in the first half, the "big dream" taught Tang Qian to "be a human being". His super flexible movement and agility made Tang Qian's running without the ball and space without the ball Everything is restricted.Really, I have never seen a 7-footer or a pseudo-[-]-footer who can be so flexible.Howard's athletic ability is strong enough, but he is not Olajuwon's opponent at all. He is really like a small forward, who can make Tang Qian unable to find a gap.

This ability to limit is really too scary.

Of course Tang Qian didn't know that in the 90s, the last thing the Rockets were afraid of was cutting without the ball and attacking the basket directly, because they had "super agile center" and "big dream" Olajuwon inside.Unlike other big men whose footsteps are slow, Olajuwon's even lateral movement is weird that violates the laws of physics!Tang Qian was deeply touched by this point after the two matchups. He even thought that the man in front of him was "hanging".

Running and jumping ability, maybe this Rockets No. 34 is not as good as him, but the lateral movement start and lateral movement speed...he seems to be better than himself!This, this Ni. How is it possible? ? ?I am a person with "Chamberlain's physical potential"!Is he stronger than Chamberlain's lateral movement attribute?
The third game was still lost, and the saddest thing was that the Tang Qian team only scored 78 points.

Olajuwon's full inside defense and 8 hot pots in a single game made Tang Qian's attackers all confused.

You must know that there are 8 blocked shots alone. If you add interference and restrictions, the number of times will be too many.The Tang Qian team does not know how many offensive balls were "buried" in the hands of this Nigerian center.

After falling behind 0-3, Tang Qian was unwilling to admit that his lateral movement attribute was not as good as that of Olajuwon.

In the latter at least, he sees no "laws" of physics! No. 34 moves laterally, perhaps faster than many defenders.Of course in a short time.However, as an inside player, this is definitely enough, because the inside line is so big, let alone a second, half a second or a third of a second faster than others, it will have an advantage.And Hakeem Olajuwon, with his incredible flexibility and footwork, dominated the NBA inside in the 3s and sat on the throne of "the top four centers in the 90s".

Flexibility and lateral movement talents are also considered hard talents. It was the first time Tang Qian felt that he was not as good as his opponent in terms of physical attributes after obtaining the "Different Space".In the past, even Howard and others, Tang Qian just felt that his use of the body and the control of the body were not as good as theirs, so many places could not be used, but like Olajuwon, it was the first time that he directly pressed his talent. back.

For the first time, Tang Qian felt that compared with inside players, he would be less talented.

Olajuwon's shoulder width is not as wide as the domestic Battelle, and his strength is not as good as the Admiral and O'Neal. Even compared with Ewing, he may not have the advantage.Then why can he kill the other three people and become the second person besides Qiao Shen in the 90s?
It relies on the lateral movement and flexibility that break the laws of physics. You see Olajuwon's explosive power and athletic performance are not explosive (of course, compared with other inside super giants, ordinary players are still crushed), but That is, you can frequently shoot from the seams of people and make movements in the seams of people.This is a conventional method that no other super giant inside has.

Everyone knows that the inside line is where the defense is the tightest and the space is the smallest. Most people want to shoot concisely, avoid making too many moves, and avoid complexity...except for Hakeem Olajuwon.Tomjanovich said back then that he did not allow any inside big man to dribble more than 3 times in the penalty area, except for Olajuwon.This statement is also suspected of flattery, but it is not groundless.

No. 34 of the Rockets is actually a representative of technical insiders. He is different from Deng Dai.What about Olajuwon?He is the complete opposite, how cool he is, how gorgeous he is, how handsome he is!There is absolutely no saying which is best or which is bad, everything depends on how you use it.

Whether it is gorgeous or monotonous, as long as it can score goals and win, it is a good move.

It's just that such a center has long since disappeared in the league. In fact, looking at the 60-70 years of the NBA, only one "big dream" Olajuwon has achieved this level.So don't talk about Tang Qian, any No. 5 position will feel "awkward" and extremely uncomfortable.

In the fourth game, Tang Qian was ready to fail this challenge, and his purpose began to change to "exploring and paving the way" for the success of the next challenge.So the rounds of experiments began, the first being the "turtle defensive tactic", but it didn't work because the Rockets' perimeter was full of "sharp shooters".From Kenny Smith to Cassell to Robert Horry, they are all players with "big heart" characteristics, come to feel, and don't need open space.Maybe they are not as good as some pure shooters in ordinary positions, but the more intense the battle, the more stable their performance is.

After being shot in the opponent's half, Tang Qian's team changed to a three-pointer attack. This is a good way, but the effect is limited.Because Ray Allen and Curry are precise, but in this Hand-Checkinng rampant game rule, as long as you make a few more shots, it will attract a large number of "intense action" defenses.And these actions in later generations are all foul actions.

In addition, the Tang Qian team is not the Warriors. The team's tacit understanding and tactical response are very poor, which prevents Curry and Ray Allen from maximizing their off-ball shots.The last and most important point is that because the team's inside offense is weak and cannot penetrate the inside line guarded by Olajuwon, the opponent can move the defense line outside. This is tantamount to a "fatal blow" for outside players.

After all, not everyone is Jordan Kobe. They don't have such a strong ability to combine sudden shots, and you have to "hand-to-hand" with the defender. This situation makes Curry and Ray Allen extremely difficult to play.It's not that there are no three-pointers, but it's a drop in the bucket. It can only hurt his skin but not his muscles.

However, there are still some people who performed better. He is the sixth man on the bench, Tracy McGrady. Tracy McGrady in the 02-03 season is the "Peak McGrady" that fans talk about.He is a completely different type of outside attacker than Ray Allen and Curry, commonly known as a swingman.With this type of player, you don't need any chances, you don't need any space, you just need to "give me the ball".

There is no opportunity, I can create opportunities by myself, there is no space, I can create space by myself, this is the characteristic of a player like Tracy McGrady.Maybe his efficiency is not as high as that of players like Curry, and his openings are not as accurate, but under high-intensity defense, he can score goals and score!The late basketball godfather Auerbach once said that basketball is a scoring sport, and the highest level of data is scoring!
That's right, it seems that usually those high-efficiency stars have impressive statistics, but at critical moments, he can't do it himself!You can't create your own opportunities!In this way, it is better to use the so-called "average efficiency" or "low efficiency" players.No particular reason, just because they can score when the team needs to score, and that's enough.

Otherwise, in terms of efficiency, O'Neal's efficiency in the 95 Finals would not be worse than Olajuwon's, and his shooting percentage was close to 60%.What about Olajuwon?But 48% hit rate!Do you want to say that O'Neal is not weaker than Olajuwon, and even much more efficient, but the number of shots is too few?If you also give him 29 shots per game, he will definitely surpass the latter by an unknown amount.

Yes, O'Neal only averaged 18+ shots per game in the finals that year, nearly 29 times less than Olajuwon's 9+ shots. If you count 60% shooting percentage, you must score at least 5.4 more goals and 10.8 points more.Coupled with the comprehensive suppression of rebounds and assists, he is simply full of Olajuwon's efficiency.What about the facts?The fact is why doesn't O'Neill shoot more?Could it be that the coaching staff of the Magic team are fools who can't even do such a simple arithmetic problem?Why not let me be the head coach!

If you really think this way, it is simply a stupid behavior. If you are efficient, you will take more shots and score more goals. Why not?Isn't it because of more shots, the efficiency will be reduced, so it won't work?Especially for the key attack, wouldn't everything be fine for O'Neal, who has a shooting rate close to 60%?Said to destroy the team's teamwork?Please, to paraphrase Phil Jackson's autobiography, the essence of competitive sports is winning.You are all going to lose, and your teammates can't get in. Now you need to score points. What do you care about teamwork?
Only when you win the ball can you be qualified to talk about teamwork. Otherwise, if you lose, you lose. What about efficiency?
Are you irresponsible if you don’t help the team grab points with such high efficiency?Or is it on purpose?

How do you choose between losing with high efficiency and winning with normal efficiency?How to choose a coach?It is clear at a glance.

The person who can attack is not necessarily the most efficient one, but it is the most important one when the team needs to score. In the middle and late 90s when hand-checking was most popular, Qiao Shen's playoffs were not only about 45% hit rate?You can say that it's because Qiao Shen is old, but the three consecutive championships are still No. 1 in the league.Who would say that his shooting percentage is too low?

Because everyone in the NBA knows that the shooting rate is a false thing. Can the 50%~60% shooting rate of "easy.ball" be compared with the 40% of the attacking positions?Being able to stabilize one's hit rate at any time is called awesome.For those so-called high-energy and efficient players, if you really let him take more shots, can he maintain a high hit rate?
In the 07-08 season, Zhan Huang hit 3% of the field goals against the Celtics. After 2010, he only shot 3% of the field goals in the 34 Eastern Conference semifinals + 3 turnovers in 19 games.Well, maybe the Celtics' defense is too strong, and the finals against the Warriors is also an example. Leaving aside sports warfare and "easy.ball" goals, if James really wants to play tough shots, he doesn't play that well.In the Cavaliers in the future, Kyrie Irving will execute most of the tough shots.

This is not to say that Zhan Huang is not strong. In fact, Zhan Huang is terrifyingly strong, but each player has different characteristics. There is no need to laugh at other players with so-called statistics and efficiency.Doing so can only be slapped in the face by reality.The same is true for Curry. He is an efficient player, but his strength is his strength, and it is one thing to benefit from the change of the rules.If you really want him to push hard one by one, and attack hard, I am afraid that the hit rate will surprise some "only efficient players".

At this time, the importance of players who are good at attacking tough situations and can create their own chances to score suddenly becomes apparent.

In the fourth scene, McGrady scored 30 points against the opponent's substitute outside line. This is still only 27 minutes of performance, which shows the tyranny of "Peak McGrady".Against the Rockets' main lineup, it may not be as efficient as scoring points, but it is obvious that it is better than Curry and Ray Allen.

He doesn't need too many pick-and-rolls or screens, and he can score consecutively by himself.

But in the end they lost, and were swept out by their opponents 0-4.

"Challenge failed, the remaining challenge opportunities on this floor are two times."

Looking at the disappearing stadium and the re-emerged "calendar board", Tang Qian said with a heavy heart: "So this is the real super insider, so this is the real defending champion, tacit understanding, chemical reaction, and tactical changes are all better than that." It's too much for me. It seems that if you want to win...it's very difficult."
