Chapter 652 Chicago, Bulls

Because it was a risky pass and did not complete the sweep, Tang Qian only got 2 golden ability card fragments at this level.

After taking away the special card on this floor, Tang Qian entered the penultimate floor.

"There are three remaining challenges on this floor, and you can defeat your opponent within three chances..."

Tang Qian guessed the general situation. This "calendar board" helps him choose opponents, but there are actually traces to follow.

Such as random division champions, such as random championships, such as random consecutive championships, so this layer should be... random dynasty teams, right?Tang Qian walked to the side of the "calendar board" on this floor, looked down, and sure enough, it was written neatly: This floor challenges a random dynasty champion team in NBA history, with 7 games, and the rules of the game, based on the challenged The space-time rules prevail.The challenger has 6 powers to choose teammates.

It has reached this point, Tang Qian is also very familiar with this set, so after retaining the original five people, he also chose a peak Dikambe Muttom according to the team provided by the "calendar board" Bo.As for why he didn't choose Grant Hill in the 96-97 season or Paul Pierce in the 01-02 season, Tang Qian's reason is very simple.For the sixth selection, he is not to strengthen the main lineup, but to strengthen the substitute lineup.Although the above two are powerful and have strong scoring ability, it is enough to have a scoring champion McGrady in the bench lineup. No matter how many balls there are for them to play, it is better to choose a reliable center insider, so that when he is not on the court, He can also help out.

The peak Mutombo is not a weak chicken. He studied under Bill Russell (this is true and there are videos to prove it). The peak of his career was in the mid-to-late 90s and the beginning of the 21st century. He has won 4 DOPY trophies , 2 rebounds, 3 blocked shots, 8 All-Stars, 6 All-Defensive Teams, and 3 All-NBA Teams.You have to know what era it was in the 90s. It was an era when there were so many high-quality insiders in the league. The four major centers almost controlled all the selections for the 5th position.These awards are not enough for the four of them alone.Mutombo can turn out and get so many honors, which is already quite awesome.

At his peak, he was his substitute. Tang Qian felt that he should be able to stand up for a period of time without any problem. It wouldn't be Ben Wallace who gritted his teeth and struggled when he left.Just kidding, even if Tang Qian is not there, the peak Wallace and the peak Mutombo are also an inside defensive combination of 8 DPOYs, okay?Since the selection of this award, when has there been such a perverted combination of defensive insiders in the league?

In this special place and special time, Tang Qian turned them into reality.

Coupled with No. 29 himself, this is enough to ensure that Tang Qian's team is an "inside hell" anytime, anywhere. If you want to attack the basket at close range, you have to take off a layer of skin.

Temporary teammates are: Larry Smith (84-85 season), Tyson Chandler (11-12 season), Trevor Ariza (08-09 season), Bobby Brown (16-17 season), Ray Bloom (81-82 season).The last two people are purely "water dispensers", and their career statistics are terrible, but the first three people are still pretty random.For example, Chandler, he was the DPOY of the 3-11 season, even if he is a little bit wet, he is really the best defensive player of the season, isn't he?Not to mention Ariza, the outside defensive champion, the wing arrow formed with Kobe back then, made countless outside players attack their brains.

With the addition of Larry Smith, the defensive depth and defensive strength of this lineup is almost the strongest team Tang Qian has ever seen.But this also shows from the side how difficult the next opponent is to deal with.

There are actually fewer dynasty teams than the defending teams. Tang Qian can count them with his fingers. There are only three teams, the Boston Dynasty, the Bulls Dynasty, and the Lakers Dynasty.The weakest is of course the first dynasty of the Lakers. If it reaches this point, Tang Qian is confident that he will sweep the opponent within 4 games.

It turns out, though, that he was thinking too much.

The last position where the cursor stopped was... the Chicago Bulls.

Again, like the Rockets in the previous round, there is no specific season, which means that they will all choose the strongest competitive state during the dynasty.This, just thinking about it, is creepy.

Needless to say, Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, is in the strongest physical condition in the previous three consecutive championships, and the strongest mental state in the latter three consecutive championships. If they all choose the strongest competitive state in the dynasty... then there will probably be a competition On the 23rd, the reality is even more terrifying.

There is no comparison at all for this point, it will definitely be blown up, it depends on how it is blown up.

Generally speaking, if you suppress No. 23 to less than 30 points, it is considered a success.

Needless to say, Pi Erye, all selected the peak state during the dynasty period, which is also a proper defense. In the season when Jordan was not there, he was also elected as the league's third MVP vote.The integration of offense and defense is nothing to say, but it is not as exaggerated as Jordan.In this way, Tang Qian can say that the rules of the game in the era of the Bulls have basically been abolished.Back then, the Bulls were invincible from the outside line with both offense and defense. No team has ever won with hard work from the outside line.

Not even the perimeter duo in NBA history is stronger than this pair.

8 championships in 6 years, 2 three consecutive championships. In 2 seasons, Jordan went to play baseball in one season, and the other just came back halfway, so his physical condition and competitive state were not at their peak.You have to accept this kind of cooperation and this kind of honor.

Deducting these two, they also have the insider "Cobra" Grant, who is also a defensive champion. The inside hero of the Bulls' first three consecutive games was equivalent to the role of Rodman later. Good defensive lineup.However, the Bulls' insiders have always been short boards. Whether it is the aging Bill Cartwright or Luke Longley, they are the most common starting insiders, and there is nothing special to pay attention to.So you only need to pay attention to the Bulls' outside line. Well, after all, they still have Cole and Kukoc on the bench.

So it's possible to develop a strategy for attacking the inside...huh?etc? ? ?No, I was thinking about it! ! !Since players from the entire dynasty era are selected, their "teacher" and "flower bug" Dennis Rodman must be indispensable.Rodman and Grant naturally couldn't be teammates in the original space, but here... refer to the Rockets, it's not impossible.

If the Bulls' inside line becomes Rodman + Grant + Longley or Carter White, that would be bad!

It is equivalent to making up for the Bulls' internal shortcomings at once!

damn it!Even his own rebounding is estimated to be subject to huge restrictions!
After failing to guess the coin, the Tang Qian team lost their home court advantage, and the first game will be held at the United Center in Chicago.

Walking into this familiar venue and looking at this group of supercilious "big bosses", Tang Qian felt a little suppressed in momentum.

And unlike Olajuwon, this is not aimed at him, and it can't even be released outside, as if just standing there chewing gum can give the opponent a huge psychological coercion.Of course, the most important pressure comes from the fiery red No. 23, Michael Jordan.

The first game was just to test the waters, because against this kind of dynastic team, it is impossible for you to win in one go.If someone can create a dynasty and rule an era, the tacit understanding of the team and the chemical reaction of the team are estimated to be ground breaking.Even if Jerry Sloan is added to his side, the overall tacit understanding has improved a lot, it is still too much difference.

After all, the Chicago Bulls are recognized as the most likely team in NBA history to tie Boston's eighth consecutive hegemony. If Jordan does not retire to play baseball and maintain his peak state and strength, it is really not impossible.And in terms of overall competitiveness, it is obvious that the Bulls' two three-peats are more difficult.

In addition, "Different Space" also combined all the strongest states of their dynasty period. Can you imagine that the former three-peat Jordan has the ultimate projection technology of the latter three-peat Jordan?What is the difference between this ni.ma and hanging up?It's a whole team from the start!

In the first game, the Tang Qian team entered the "garbage time" in only halftime, and finally ended in a disastrous defeat with 25 points.

Why didn't the Bulls work hard, and Tang Qian's team lost so badly?In addition to the above factors, the "loss" of the Lakers' No. 29 rebound is also a major factor.In the first 5 floors, no matter who Tang Qian faces, he at least has an absolute rebounding advantage, but after facing Rodman in this layer, his advantage suddenly evaporated.

Although Rodman, who came to the Bulls, no longer has the average rebounding ability of 18+ close to 19+ in his peak period, but judging from the strongest state during the dynasty, he still has 16+ rebounding ability.Tang Qian's current theoretical ability is 17+ rebounds. Against Rodman, he does not have much advantage.Even in the first game, Tang Qian was still at a disadvantage.

why? Shouldn't 17+ be greater than 16+?The main reason is that all Tang Qian's rebounding skills are derived from Rodman's teaching and polishing. In this way, in the face-to-face confrontation between the two, the "flower bug" with more experience and skills has the upper hand.

Losing the advantage of rebounding is no less than a heavy blow to Tang Qian's team. In addition, the outside line was strongly blocked by Jordan and Pippen.

In the second game, Tang Qian team McGrady broke out, but after being spotted by "Zen Master" Jackson, he immediately sent Pippen to guard.Under the guard of Peak Pippen, McGrady's firepower was immediately suppressed, and then the Tang Qian team regretted losing.

In the third game, Tang Qian finally got used to it a little bit, and he could evenly grab rebounds with Rodman, but this was still not enough for Tang Qian's team, far from enough. In the end, 88-106, the Bulls won the game.

The Bulls blossomed more in the fourth game, a wave of 29-2, directly took away the game, and the first challenge opportunity ended.

Tang Qian's heart was extremely shocked when he was easily defeated in four rounds.

I thought there was still a chance, but I didn't expect it to end with nothing. The double marksmanship from the outside line that I had high hopes for was also blasted. Ray Allen only scored 11 points. What about Curry?To make matters worse, he was marked by Jordan himself and only scored a measly 6 points, shooting less than 30% from the field.This is also suffering for Stephen Curry. If he was in that Warriors team, if there was no Hand-Checking rule, then he would definitely not be able to play this kind of data.Even if you are facing the peak Jordan, that's the same.It's a pity that the latter is too restrictive for a player with a thin body like Curry. Jordan is the perfect executor of the Hand-Checking defense. From the beginning to the end of the "savage entanglement", Curry almost fell down.

Especially this one in Hand-Checking is a devastating blow to Curry. Both offensive players and defensive players can violate the opponent's occupied position, that is to say, the cylinder rule is basically not applicable.Curry's body is much inferior to that of Michael Jordan, so in terms of invading the opponent's already occupied position, whether it is attack or defense, he is completely defeated, and he can't take advantage of it.Not to mention that you can also use defenses such as grabbing, slapping, and straight arms to interfere with offensive players. This is very beneficial to physical players.

So if you don't have a body, then you definitely can't take advantage of Hand-Checking.

This is why before Hand-Checking was cancelled, it was impossible for players with "weak" bodies to become superstars.Because the Hand-Checking rule is too harmful to the physically weak side.It just so happens that Curry is the latter.

He didn't have any physical advantages in the second decade of the 21st century, and he still wanted to fight Jordan?The dire results are obvious.

Unless you take the No. 1 route of organizing the team, it is still possible. Otherwise, if the offensive No. 1 position does not have a tyrannical body as a guarantee, with the popularity of Hand-Checking, Curry's moment is a good example.

It's not that Curry is not strong, it's just that the rules of this era are not suitable for him to survive at all.

Moreover, the person staring at him in this round of the series is still the famous Michael Jordan.

It's not for nothing that the Chicago Bulls could dominate the league in the 90s.

What's more, this Bulls team is still a specially enhanced version of "Different Space", which makes it even more difficult to fight.

Tang Qian thought about it for a long time, and found that this was even more difficult than dealing with the Rockets on the fifth floor. Even after the two outside scorers were abolished, he basically could not see the hope of victory.Isn't it a joke, there is no strong support from the outside, and this team only relies on the inside to score?If that's not a fairy tale, what is it?Even if Tang Qian can score ten or twenty points without the ball under Kidd's feed, what about Ben Wallace?What about Mutombo?How many points can they score?Can't kill anyone at all!
Unless Tang Qian is now the peak Olajuwon, that's about the same, otherwise it's completely unrealistic to rely on him alone to support the score.

Just after he couldn't figure it out, the second challenge began. Tang Qian really got the weakened benefits of "different space", and this weakened benefit is... From the second round, Hand-Checking is completely banned, but the Bulls The team will also adapt to the rules of the game without Hand-Checking by default.

Tang Qian didn't care about the back, mainly because of the front, which made him finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Without Hand-Checking, Curry can finally "unblock", right?
Ray Allen is different from Curry. At his peak, Ray Allen was a man with proper physical fitness, and his weight tonnage was much larger than Curry, so even if he played Hand-Checking, he would not weaken too much at once. many.Well, in fact, look at it this way, if the opponent is not the Chicago Bulls, then Curry can also play a certain skill.There is absolutely no problem with that.

It's a pity that their opponents are Jordan and Pippen now. It's not surprising that the two most defensive perimeters and wings in the 90s were forcibly controlled and restricted.To be clear, Hand-Checking was not cut off by the alliance in one breath. From its birth to its demise, it was "cut in half" by the alliance several times.The last "cut in half" was in the 99-00 season, which was also a season in which Ray Allen benefited.Fourth-year Bucks No. 34 Ray Allen averaged 17+ points per game in the third grade, and "leap forward" to 99+ points per game in the 00-22 season.The ability to average 5 points per game has grown, from a top-level second-rate scorer to a quasi-first-rate scorer.The size of the span is astounding.

So there is no need to explain too much, every time Hand-Checking is weakened, it will increase the attack of ordinary stars and have a positive effect.Especially for some stars with average physical fitness or relatively single offensive ability, the improvement rate is particularly large.On the contrary, it is not very useful for scorers at or above the level of McGrady, Kobe, and Iverson.Some people say that Jordan can average 50+ points per game when he comes to modern times.

Super scorers who can average 30+ points per game, except for the alternatives like Curry, are basically offensive kaleidoscopes combined with sudden shots. Even LeBron James, who has always been a "tank" in the impression, is actually super skilled. player of.So they should be able to survive under any rules.After all, where the physical fitness is, there is nothing that cannot be adapted.

Among the top ten, top twenty, and top thirty in history, how many of them are as "weak" as Curry?You said Larry Bird?No no no, have you actually seen Bird's video?His antagonism and physical fitness are definitely not bad. I have never heard of Bird's confrontation at the small forward position. His antagonism is far stronger than everyone imagined.Even if he has always felt that the bounce is not very good, Bird is also the top choice among whites. It is not uncommon to turn over and pull the bar, and dunks from others.Of course, Bird’s strongest physical item is his strength. He weighed about 220 pounds when he entered the league as a rookie, and at least 230 to 240 pounds in his peak period, so you watch a lot of interview videos of old players, and the most talked about is Bird. De's body is strong, very confrontational, and very hard.It’s just that the weight data of the older generation has basically not been updated. It just stayed in the rookie period. That’s why the joke that Malone is only 250 pounds and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is only 225 pounds. The rookie period in the NBA is the lowest point of weight. It's all the same, "Du Qichi" is all skinny, and they all weigh 240 pounds. Are you honest that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is 218cm, only weighs 225 pounds?Is that a skeleton?The peak period is definitely more than this data, at least around 250 pounds.

Therefore, Curry's physical fitness is really at the level of "NBA elementary school students", a child who can barely dunk a basket, has no problem with top shooting, and can even be said to be the strongest in NBA history.But physical fitness, well, forget it.

Jordan can adapt to modern rules, but Curry is destined to be unable to adapt to Hand-Checking. It is not a technical problem, but purely physical.Even if Curry does a good deadlift, it's useless, because the person facing him is Jordan.

The strongest form on the perimeter, Michael Jordan.

PS: This chapter is delayed until now because Xiaozi fell asleep while writing last night, and now I don’t have enough energy to stay up late to write. Is it because I am getting old?Woooo~ About this Hand-Checking question, Xiaozi retired to a provincial team some time ago as an "uncle" "uncle"?I asked for advice, they played hand-checking basketball at that time, so he told me very bluntly that if you want to play basketball under the rules of hand-checking well, your physical fitness is the guarantee. If you don’t have physical fitness, you don’t need to talk about anything.Xiao Zi felt that this statement was too broad and difficult to understand, so "uncle" gave me another vivid example.

Do you know why it is so difficult for you students to play singles with young men and middle-aged men?Completely different from counterpoint students?Very uncomfortable?The reason is that the body is not enough and the physique is not good. Apart from some advantages in jumping and speed, what advantages do you have?Physical fitness is more than just bounce and speed.And...these old middle-aged uncles, they play hand-checking, that's why you think they are difficult to deal with, and they are suspected of defensive fouls.Xiaozi felt enlightened when she heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out that there was really a reason for this.

No wonder when I used to play, I always felt that they blocked fouls. Now that I think about it, isn’t there a difference between having Hand-Checking and not having Hand-Checking?
