Chapter 747 Go get the first MVP trophy in your life

Seeing Moses Malone standing in front of him with his brows open, Tang Qian said in astonishment, "Mr. Prophet, you..."

"I'm fine, the ball went in, didn't I?" Moses Malone said after landing.

"No, I mean that your brow bone was accidentally covered by me..."

"Oh, don't worry about this little thing. It's common for players who played inside in our era to have their eyebrows slashed. They are not qualified to be on the news." Moses Malone didn't really seem to care, he just took off his He took off his jersey and pressed the wound, and then continued: "I'm not afraid to tell you, my left brow bone has been opened many times, deep and shallow, and one of them was opened by that guy Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Yes. Back then when I first transferred from the ABA to the NBA, he would give me a mark of 'dismissal' from the very beginning, but hey." He smiled, and seemed to be very proud: "He thinks too much , on the contrary, I planted a demon in his heart."

"So I used to say a word back then, I can kill Kareem Kareem anytime, 365 days a year, regardless of whether you are in the regular season, the playoffs or the finals, it is the same. This sentence seems to be used by Dennis later The little guy has learned it, and people forget me as the original version. I have to say that the TV era is really a good time."

"Do you know why I can always bully him?"

"Because he doesn't have the courage I have."

"He is very talented, but I proved to him that to dominate the inside line, courage far exceeds talent!"

"So you have to understand this point, inside players, the most important thing is the heart, is the courage, followed by the so-called talent, hardware, physical fitness." Moses Malone said: "Do you want to be a real insider, or Fake insiders, this distinction is quite important."

"I won't accept the money for now. Let me see if you have the possibility of this. If not, it's useless to teach."

Tang Qian accompanied Moses Malone to a nearby hospital. After disinfection and stitches, Tang Qian left alone.Because today, he has been exposed to some basketball theories that he has never been exposed to before or that he finds almost ridiculous.Domestic basketball emphasizes technology, while American basketball emphasizes the body. Tang Qian originally thought that the body is the guarantee of technology, which is considered the highest basic theory of basketball.After all, this is not known how many years advanced than domestic.

But suddenly, Moses Malone opened a new door for him.

In addition to technology and body, another indispensable thing on the basketball court.

This is not to say that Tang Qian didn't know about it before, and he never heard similar "propaganda", but he knew very well that it was all a "gimmick".How can it be possible to play basketball well, all it takes is courage?This is just a way for big stars to deceive children.

Not much practical value.

He can say that few real professional basketball players put courage or bravery first.

Because to play basketball well, the most important thing is body + technique. This is the most practical way to say it.

So what is called courage?Maybe the stars who said this advertisement were a little "disdainful".

But today, a living legend taught himself a lesson.

The most important thing is that that true courage made Tang Qian feel for the first time what fearlessness is.

Fearless.

You must know that Moses Malone's peak period was concentrated from the late 70s to the mid-80s, and that time was known as the "dark age" of the NBA.Brutal, high-intensity hand-to-hand combat, and endless small movements are all maximized here.

There used to be a joke that when you played basketball in the 60s-80s, you had to be ready for "court fights" anytime, anywhere.

This is why the stars of that era would be equipped with a "bodyguard" or "thug" as standard. For example, the "Old Oak" Oakley next to Jordan is a famous example.If you are a new fan, you may find it unbelievable, but if you are an old fan, especially those first- and second-generation older fans in China, then you must know that what you said is true.

Especially outside players, their bodies are not as strong as inside players, so they suffer a lot when they fight.

Even the "Sky Hook" who looks quite "thin" is still a ruthless character. He gave him a dark elbow because of Kent Benson, and guess what, he punched him in the face in return.The former fell to the ground in an instant.There are too many similar examples, similar to the old punch Tomjanovich suffered back then, "Big Bird" Bird and "Dr. J" Julius Owen pinched each other, in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1987, "Big Bird" "Bird" was furious because of a malicious foul, and then hit the "bad man" Bill Lambiel hard on the head with a basketball. In April 1990, Barkley beat Bill Lambiel hard, and at the same time, the Philadelphia boss applauded him, directly announcing the former's fine. Come "pocket".

This is still concentrated in the late 80s and 70s. If it goes a little further, it will be even more terrifying.

Willis Reed singled out the entire Lakers team in 1966. In 1962, the legendary star Havlicek went to Boston to report for the first time, but he directly witnessed Roskotov hitting Rodgers to the bench with a heavy punch.Player Bob Ferry smashed Walter Hazzard's right tooth in the cheek and was only fined $25.The first-generation super center George Mikan played in the NBA for 9 years. He had 169 stitches all over his body and changed countless glasses in one game. What is even more exaggerated is that he was punched and kicked when he played for the Lakers for the first time. Kick, almost broke a bone.Finally, using the original words of the current NBA chairman, not the president, Rod Thorne, if someone fights in the NBA in the 5060s, the referees usually let the players "play freely" first, and wait until they see blood before blowing the whistle and calling for a stop.

I don’t know if there is any exaggeration in this passage, but NBA players of that era have a common saying:

If you want to gain a firm foothold in the league, you must first have no teeth!
Don Bacchus said: In the NBA in the 5060 and [-]s, when you walked into the locker room, the most conspicuous thing was not the basketball equipment, but the denture boxes with dentures.That is to say, in those days, physical confrontation was beyond your imagination, at least in the videos and animations, you couldn't see the reason at all.

Because Lao Qiupi's moves are all ruthless, accurate and dark, unless you use a close-up lens to slow down, otherwise you may not find anything wrong after watching the whole scene.

Tang Qian remembered the calmness of Moses Malone just now when he sewed the stitches. The latter said a word, which Tang Qian still remembered.

In your current era, those players who are preparing for conflict are eager for his teammates to come and hold him back, but in our era, we are all united and united to the outside world. Whoever dares to pull it is an act of "betrayal" and "surrender to the enemy".

Therefore, this era is really a "civilized" era, which is completely different from the cruelty of insiders before.

Is this what he meant by "courage"?Hard attack at the basket?Is it really possible to do this?

He can?Can I?

Tang Qian was a little caught in a contradiction.

On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, Tang Qian participated in the East and West All-Star training and player interviews. He is already considered an "old man", so he was very comfortable with it.

"Excuse me, what data do you think you will get this time?"

"The more the merrier, the more the merrier."

"Tan, have you ever thought about trying to win the FMVP?"

"Of course, if there is a chance, I will not let it go."

"What if Kobe wants to fight you? Will you let it?"

"You ESPN just like to make things happen? Of course, if Kobe wants it, I can give it to him and help him with the ball. This is no problem, after all, he is the boss of the team~"

"Hot, what do you think of Howard's remarks about the Rockets? Do you think you stole his starting center position?"

"Snatch? When didn't the NBA scramble? He wants to take my place back! Oh, yes, I forgot, he has only more than 65 votes, and he is not eligible to enter the starting lineup. Besides, now There is no center for the All-Star voting position in the NBA. If he can’t squeeze the three frontcourts, I can squeeze others. Isn’t Durant and Griffin too crowded? Let’s squeeze them first. I’m The champion of the frontcourt in the Western Conference, he didn't beat the second and third, so don't even mention this word with me!"

"You are now the leader in rebounds and blocks for two-thirds of the season. Can you keep it up?"

"This question is a sub-question, elementary school students know it is definitely me!"

"What is the relationship between you and Parkrick Ewing? Do you really want to score 50 points in the near future?"

"Of course. After all, people have said that 48 points and 50+ points are the hurdles. If I don't do it, he won't be convinced. As for the relationship, it is an ordinary person. You know, I only respect and respect How did you write it, senior."

A large group of reporters worked hard, and the recording pens kept recording.Tang Qian's popularity is gradually rising now. Even if you only look at the United States, there are many loyal and hardcore people.This is a huge change from previous seasons.

But the biggest target of siege is Kobe. People want to know whether the No. 24 Lakers, who are in excellent form this season, can win the AMVP again in their career?After he got it last year, his career accumulation has reached 5. If he gets it again this year, it will be a total of 6, the absolute number one in NBA history.

Americans seem to have great enthusiasm and fantasy for being the first in everything. If you come to this country, you will deeply understand it.Heroism here can even be regarded as a kind of "American spirit" and "American dream".

But the Lakers' answer on the 24th made people a little confused:
I have already won enough honors like this, and it doesn't make any sense to have more. I only participated in the All-Star Game to enjoy the game and enjoy the All-Star Weekend, that's all.But if anyone needs help, I can provide support.In short, the West still won this year, and this will not change.

Kobe doesn't fight anymore?This seems to be what it means?In this way, many people's minds became alive.

Don't think that AMVP is worthless, yes, compared to MVP and FMVP, it can only be regarded as "leftovers", but if you have never won it in your career, it will be different.

For an All-Star who has never won, he still wants to give it a try.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. AMVP can be regarded as a real award that can be included in the honor pocket.

In the West, except for Kobe and Durant, the rest of the starters have not won it, and the situation in the East is similar. Except for LeBron James and Wade, the rest of George + Irving + Anthony have not won it.Therefore, after Kobe, the biggest favorite, declared "indisputable", the competitive atmosphere between the East and the West changed subtly in an instant.

Including the substitutes, those who have not won it are not without a chance to compete.

This kind of example is not unprecedented in history. For example, God Joe was "robbed" by Glenn Rice in 97 and lost the much-anticipated AMVP.

Kobe, who has the highest qualifications, the highest voice and the greatest influence, is gone now. Well, he will immediately enter the stage of dancing with demons.

Those who have not taken it before, want to try it out and add a new honor to their honor bag.

After the interview, Tang Qian asked Kobe why he didn't want it anymore. Kobe said this:
I have already won enough. My main task this year is to win the championship and win the Larry O'Brien Cup. In order to achieve this goal, I think I should restrain myself a little and not waste my luck here.

As soon as this trick came out, Tang Qian was stunned. He didn't expect Kobe to say something so close to "superstition". This...

It can be seen from this that Kobe is eager for the sixth championship ring this season.

In other normal seasons, Kobe would never have said such things.

Just when Tang Qian was still thinking, the Lakers No. 24 beside him suddenly said: "Although I don't want it anymore, but the AMVP trophy, it's better to stay in Los Angeles, and it's better to stay in the Lakers." Leng, said: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Kobe looked at the Eastern center next to him and asked: "This year's AMVP, do you want it? Hot."

I?
Tang Qian was stunned, because although he said that in the interview, he didn't take it seriously.One is that his qualifications are still young, and he may not be able to compete with these "big guys" who have been famous for a long time.The second is that he doesn't think this AMVP is that important, so it doesn't matter if he wants it or not.The third is that he thought that Kobe wanted to have a perfect ending in the end, so he didn't really plan to fight for this year's AMVP.

"But Bryant, don't you want it? If you can win this year's MVP+AMVP+FMVP, you will be the fourth person in NBA history. Only three people have done it before." Actually it doesn't matter, the main reason is Among these three people is Kobe's "old enemy" Shaq O'Neal.So Tang Qian is not sure what Kobe really means now.

"As I said, I only want to be the champion this year!" Kobe looked at Tang Qian, he had his own "little plan".He has been playing basketball in the league for so many years, and he has seen through the basic people's hearts earlier than before. If he wants to improve the cohesion of a team, the effect of honor and shouting slogans alone is too weak. OK.

This is not a bad "little ninety-nine", it's just a positive "induction", and it's not a bad thing to share the benefits.The young Kobe didn't understand this, and it's absolutely impossible for Kobe now not to understand.

The fact that No. 24 is stronger than No. 8 is also a very important point.

Let Tang Qian get an AMVP honor. Perhaps he seems to have an average award, but the former has not won it, so it is different.The first MVP-type trophy is always impressive and inspiring.

Kobe himself remembers the excitement and excitement when he lifted the trophy for the first time.

It can not only increase the spirit of teammates, but also increase the tacit understanding between teammates and yourself. Why not do this smooth flow?
Kobe now understands that if the Lakers want to win the championship this season, it is absolutely necessary for the Lakers to sit on the inside with No. 29.

That's why he made such a thought.

As for O'Neal, hum, the biggest attack is not the "three MVPs" in a single season, but wearing his own third ring!In this way, it can be regarded as the real "tying", the real surpassing!
Really speechless!
For this reason, what is the sacrifice of an AMVP?

"I……"

"Leave me alone, go for it when the opportunity comes, and I will do my best to help you." Kobe smiled and said, "Go and win the first MVP trophy in your career."

"Okay." Tang Qian was also aroused by Kobe's words, and nodded vigorously.
