So I am the god of basketball?

After defeating last season's Finals runner-up, the Lakers ushered in their first road trip this season.

First go to Minnesota to play with the Timberwolves, and then return to Los Angeles to play with the Clippers.

Of course, the second game is written as "away" and pronounced as "home".

Who doesn’t know that the other 27 teams in the league have a total of 41 home games and 41 away games, while the Lakers have 43 home games and the Clippers only have 39 home games.

In Los Angeles, if you are a Clippers fan, you must be a Lakers fan...

Once the two teams meet, Clippers fans instantly become Lakers fans.

Otherwise, the Lakers would have a nickname called "The King of Los Angeles"!

The Timberwolves are one of the highly anticipated "youth armies" in the new season.

So far, they have also played two games, with a record of one win and one loss.

凯文-加内特进入职业生涯的第二个赛季，有了长足的进步，第一场比赛拿到了19分7篮板3助攻2抢断2盖帽，第二场比赛拿到了17分8篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽。

Shows the characteristics of an all-around power forward.

A 19-year-old guy's performance is enough to make the entire Minnesota fans happy.

Therefore, even after only two games, Garnett's popularity in the Timberwolves has skyrocketed, and he is vaguely looking to replace Laettner as the new "Wolf King" of the Timberwolves.

No, Laettner has been replaced.

As for becoming the "New Wolf King", it is also in the process of gradual transition.

What makes Timberwolves fans happy in the new season is Ray Allen's performance. He scored 15 points in the first game and hit 3 three-pointers in the second game, scoring a total of 16 points.

As a player "from Duke", the Minnesotans were not cold at first. Because neither Laettner nor Bob Hurley has grown to the heights originally expected. Even in the past two years, they can be regarded as quasi-first-line players in their respective positions in the league, but expectations are too high, causing many Minnesotans to be disappointed with the two of them, especially Laettner, who is even more disappointed.

It's no wonder, after all, when he was in the NCAA, Laettner showed dominance and influence, and he was heading for the Basketball Hall of Fame. The result is now comparable to the level of a first-line center. How can this be satisfactory?
Therefore, it is not surprising that Timberwolves fans are biased against players from Duke.

But this time, the No. 96 pick in the first round of seemed to be the real deal...

This guy showed accurate shooting ability as soon as he came up.

You know, when Meng Lang first entered the league, he was famous for his precise shooting.

Could it be that this is Meng Lang's "road to fame"?
How about a group of "savages" surviving in the ice and snow?

This is just daring to think!

Not only did they dare to think about it, the Minnesota media also labeled Ray Allen as "Duke's second shot" and "the next Meng Lang".

Ray Allenton feels a lot of pressure.

In fact, this is not the first time he has faced such a situation.

When he first entered Duke, he was expected by many Duke students to become "the next Meng Lang." It's a pity that he has accurate shooting, but he cannot reach the magical height of Meng Lang.

If the performance on the field is not up to par, the team results will be even less up to par.

The year he led the team alone, Duke didn't even make it to the Elite 8.

Ray Allen really didn't expect that he would be labeled with this label just two or three months after arriving in Minnesota.

This made him a little confused as to which direction he should work towards in the future.

He has his own path to follow, or to be the man this city wants him to be.

Bob Hurley felt that his junior was troubled in this regard. Before this game, he arranged for Meng Lang to meet with Ray Allen.

"Do you think he might become the next you, Dream?" He asked directly.

Meng Lang couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Chris Mullin during his rookie season.

The atmosphere at this moment is very similar to that time.

It's just that his identity has changed now, from the person who doubts to the person who answers questions.

Naturally, he also saw those reports in the Minnesota media.

This reminded him of the original Ray Allen who went to the Bucks. In order to please the fans in Milwaukee, he specially participated in the dunk contest. In normal sports, if there is an opportunity to dunk, he will never let it go.

It wasn't until the Bucks acquired Cassel, a pure ball handler, that he returned to his best shooting field and became the league's top shooting master.

Unexpectedly, when the Timberwolves came, he still did not avoid a similar situation.

Minnesota fans hope that he will become the "next Meng Lang". According to his character, it is very likely that he will really force himself to make these changes.

But in fact, with his small stature, how can he become the next Meng Lang?
This is impossible!

Meng Lang did not give a direct answer, but used himself as an example: "When I first debuted, ESPN thought I was the next Chris Mullin. After I gained the ability to pass, many media thought I was the next Chris Mullin. 'Big Bird' Bird, now... I have appeared at the No. 1 position for the Lakers. Some media in Los Angeles think that I am the new 'Magician'... The label on me has been changing, but this change has always been This group of media posted it for me. What I want to say is very simple. Don’t rush to define yourself. No matter what outsiders say, Lei, you must first understand what kind of path you are taking. Maybe one day , you will find that you are the unique Ray Allen in this league!"

His words made Ray Allen's eyes show thoughts. He wanted this in-depth conversation.

When Bob looked at Meng Lang at this moment, he showed a somewhat unfamiliar smile: "Dream, why do I feel that you are talking like a philosopher now?"

Meng Lang rolled his eyes at him: "Bob, how do I feel that you are scolding me?"

The wine glasses collided, and Meng Lang drank the drink in the glass in one gulp: "Let's go, wait for my ass to be kicked hard tomorrow!"

Bob nodded: "I will clean my butt..."

"..."

Damn it!
After two years in Minnesota, the jokes have become so cold.

The next night, the Lakers' first away game of the new season officially kicked off at the Minnesota Arena.

Before the game, Kevin Garnett came to say hello. His smile was very warm, and his hug was even warmer, as if he were an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Meng Lang has always believed that among the many high school students participating in the NBA draft, Kevin Garnett and LeBron James are the two most mature rookies. They are all kind of refined egoists.

The only difference is that LeBron's acting skills are terrible, but Kevin Garnett can act so that everyone, including himself, believes that he is truly loyal and has truly dedicated his life to the team.

At this moment, he is as warm as an old bustard, which is a sign of his maturity. He tried to prove to everyone that even if he "jumped over the dragon's gate", he had not forgotten the friendship with Meng Lang in the training camp.

In the jump ball session, Kevin Garnett relied on his height, wingspan and excellent jumping to successfully steal the right of attack from Divac's head.

Divac reacted quickly enough, but the height of Kevin Garnett's jump made him hold back for a moment:
What kind of giant spider with long legs is this?
Looking at Garnett's take-off height, you can understand why some people say he can touch the top of the backboard.

Hurley took the ball to the frontcourt and did not rush to organize. Instead, he waited for Kevin Garnett to reach the high position, and then began to direct his teammates to move and help Garnett create a higher space for receiving the ball. This scene proves Garnett's status on the team now.

Of course, with his all-around skills, attacking around him can really drive the whole team.

Especially when he holds the ball in the high post, he can not only attack by himself, but also radiate inside and from the three-point line. His vision is indeed among the best at the power forward position.

Just like this, Laettner has to move according to his command.

For the former top players in the NCAA, this was tantamount to a disaster.

Therefore, since the team established a system with Garnett as the core, the smile on his face has become less and less, and it has completely disappeared this season. Because now his main offensive method is to give Kevin Garnett a "shooting line". Then, like a dog, wait for Kevin Garnett to be in a good mood or think of him, and reward him with a few shots.

Well, that's how he feels now.

However, he also has no temper at all.

Because everything he can do, Kevin Garnett can do it, and do it better than him.

So much so that many media have called him a "weakened version of white Garnett."

Such a title is no less than pinning the shit that Garnett just finished pooping on his head.

Do you think he can still be happy?

He was born to be the protagonist, not a supporting role for others!

Before he accepted his fate, this had always been his motto in life!

This has caused more and more trade rumors to be related to him recently.

Every one of his recent games has been called a "checkout battle."

His current temperament is all about playing well in every next game to make the Timberwolves give up the idea of ​​trading him, or to let more teams see his brilliance.

I don’t know if God wants him to perform well.

In this game, the Timberwolves, as always, focused on Garnett at the beginning.

In the first two games, whenever Garnett takes the ball and plays alone, he is bound to attract double-teams from his opponents, and then he can help his teammates score through easy scheduling.

But today, the Lakers only used Barkley to deal with him.

And just one Barkley made Kevin Garnett struggle.

Facing the "flying pig", this thin "new wolf king" simply cannot stand.

He can't even hold the ball with his back, let alone support his teammates.

Every time Kevin Garnett gets the ball, most of his energy is focused on how to hold the ball, and most of the time, he ends the ball-handling possession by passing the ball in a hurry.

The power of the "Wolf King" has always been a big problem for him.

Later, he also admitted that he just didn't want to play the No. 5 position, so when he was measuring his height, he shrunk his shoulders in order to play the No. 4 position and avoid the "big shark" in the sea.

Therefore, the Timberwolves never had very good results in the era of "four major centers" in the 90s.

Garnett's poor state in this game also affected the entire Timberwolves' offense.

The Lakers once launched a 10-3 scoring surge.

The Timberwolves head coach had no choice but to call a timeout to try to give Laettner more finishing opportunities.

This is the first time since the new season that the Timberwolves head coach has given Laettner such a role.

Laettner also knows very well that this is likely to be the only opportunity in the Timberwolves.

As a result, he really performed well, hitting 11 of the 7 shots he took. Whether it's a mid-range jump shot or a close-to-the-basket attack inside, he was extremely efficient tonight.

However, due to Kevin Garnett's poor performance, he only made 15 of 5 shots in the game and made 5 turnovers, so there was no doubt that Forest Lang lost to the Lakers by 11 points.

Harris’ words after the game touched Zaletner’s heart: “We all know that the core of the Timberwolves’ offense is Kevin Garnett, so in this game, our main defensive target is Kevin. If we limit him, we can win. In this game, we didn’t do much against other inside players, and the result proved that there was nothing wrong with our arrangement.”

A reporter asked: "Ray Allen also performed well tonight. He scored 17 points. Do you think he may become the next dream?"

Harris said: "That kid left a deep impression on me, but now it seems that he cannot become the next Dream, he does not have that ability!"

Meng Lang is not just a shooter, he also has outstanding organizational and passing abilities.

Meng Lang scored 29 points in this game, and his assists once again reached more than 10 times.

Coupled with an all-around performance of 6 rebounds and 2 steals...

How could such a person appear "next" so easily?

"Dream got another 10 assists tonight. Many media reporters in Los Angeles are now calling Meng Lang the new magician. What do you think of this? Do you think he can become the next you?"

The question was asked by none other than Earvin Johnson.

"Actually, I'm hearing more and more things like this. Dream's style of play after switching to the No. 1 position is indeed similar to mine in many ways. We have similar styles of play. I don't deny this at all. Los Angeles I am also looking forward to the arrival of the 'New Magician'. If you put this title on Dream, I think I have no reason to object, but in my opinion, he is not just a 'New Magician', he is my A combination with Larry Bird, he has almost all the skills of the two of us, but he is the pride of Los Angeles, so... the new magician, let us call him that!"

When Johnson struck the seal, it meant that another nickname for Meng Lang was officially released.

Especially the media in Los Angeles, starting from the next day, they called Meng Lang the "new magician".

It can be seen that Johnson has great influence on this city.

No wonder, this Johnson can be called a "media social butterfly", and the entire Los Angeles media basically has his old friends. He recognized Meng Lang's identity as the "new magician", who else dared to object?
Even back in Los Angeles, facing the Clippers in this game, even the Clippers' home commentator directly used his new nickname when accepting Meng Lang's appearance: "Lakers No. 24, No. , from Du Grammar University, the 'New Magician', the hottest superstar in Los Angeles, Dream, Meng——Lang——!!!”

Listen, just look up, the Lakers are actually playing away from home today!
Even Meng Lang wanted to feel heartbroken for the Clippers guys for three seconds.

What kind of home field is this?

At the beginning of the game, Meng Lang lived up to his reputation as the "New Magician" and made three consecutive pass assists, helping Barkley, Divac and Jones to score.

Especially the assist ball passed to Jones, even Jones didn't know how the ball got to him. He just walked around Meng Lang, and when he came to his senses, he saw a ball flying out in front of him.

But Meng Lang clearly had his back turned to him at that time!

You can see it clearly through slow-motion playback:
Meng Lang directly made a "no-look pass behind his head" on this ball. The next second after Jones passed around him, he threw the ball over. The main theme is "people come and balls come".

Under Meng Lang's "feeding", all members of the Lakers quickly felt good.

Wave after wave of offensives were successfully carried out!
This is Meng Lang's style of play after moving to the No. 1 position.

First, develop the skills of your teammates and work together. Then at the beginning of the third quarter, he suddenly changed his style of play and focused on personal offense. So many games the Lakers won basically started in the third quarter.

Most of the reason for this was that when Meng Lang stepped up his attack, his opponent did not react at first.

The same goes for the Clippers.

They actually played pretty well in the first few games this season, losing only 4 game in 1 games. Many media thought that the Clippers were on the rise this season, but after this game, most of the media probably used the word "revealed" to describe this Clippers team.

After the Lakers won this game, they successfully achieved their first four consecutive victories.

This is the Lakers' best start since Johnson announced his retirement.

With this 4-game winning streak, Meng Lang also won the "Player of the Week Award" for the new season.

However, he is not the only player to receive this award.

There are two people in total for this "Player of the Week Award":
One is him, and the other is Michael Jordan, who has the highest annual salary in the league.

孟浪4场比赛场均30.5分5.5篮板9.5助攻1.5抢断，投篮命中率51.3%，三分球命中率42.3%，罚球命中率90%，带领湖人队4战全胜；而迈克尔-乔丹四场比赛的数据不遑多让，场均29.75分6篮板4.5助攻2抢断，投篮命中率48.6%，三分球命中率37.4%，罚球命中率83.3%，同样带领着公牛队拿下了4-0的战绩。

This is also the first time in the new season that two people stand on the same stage.

I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional, but many media reports in the new season say that there is no “Meng Lang” without “Jordan”, and there is no Jordan without “Meng Lang”.

This kind of "no king" atmosphere is naturally a different kind of momentum building for the upcoming "Christmas War".

Think about it, if these two people are allowed to play each other for a month or two, what kind of sparks will burst out on the day of the "Christmas War"!

But no one expected that the two of them would win the first "Player of the Week Award" in the new season at the same time.

This has to be put together for some hype.

Chicago.

The reporter looked at Jordan holding the small "Player of the Week Award" trophy and asked: "If you can only choose one to win this award, who do you think is more qualified between you and Dream in the past week?"

"Of course it's me!" Jordan said, "What a stupid question you have" on his face.

Los Angeles.

The same question was asked to Meng Lang. Meng Lang's answer and expression were almost exactly the same as Jordan's: "It must be me. As long as that guy meets me, he hasn't won yet!"

Just this sentence is as influential as a direct declaration of war.

Next, Jordan and Meng Lang both worked hard on the court and performed very well almost every night.

On November 11, Jordan had just scored his first 24-plus score of the season. On November 40, Meng Lang turned around and gave his first 11-plus score show with the Lakers. In this game, he hit 25 three-pointers. The opponent in this game is his "old background" Houston Rockets.

The final score of this game was 120 to 100, and the Lakers beat the Rockets by 20 points.

After winning this game, Barkley exclaimed, "We're right." After all, for two consecutive seasons, the Suns led 3-1 before being defeated by the Rockets in three consecutive games. The "depressed air" I had been holding in for two years finally came out tonight.

One day after Meng Lang played the Lakers' first "triple-double", Jordan also gave a "triple-double" performance.

This is a competition of personal on-court performance.

There is also competition in performance.

The Bulls played a total of 11 games in November, and the Bulls' final record was 16 wins and 14 losses, while the Lakers played a total of 2 games, and they also only lost 15 games and won the remaining 2 games.

最终整个11月份结束，乔丹场均30分6.5篮板4.5助攻1.5抢断0.5盖帽；而孟浪场均31分5.4篮板8.6助攻2抢断，场均可以命中3.4记三分球。

Taken together, Meng Lang has a slight advantage, but it's not a huge advantage.

Because Jordan played one more game, the Bulls' schedule in November was also more difficult. They played a total of 11 "back-to-back" rounds, while the Lakers only played one "back-to-back" round.

No matter how you compare these two people, they should be considered "evenly matched".

Therefore, on December 12, the league announced the first "Player of the Month Award" for the new season.

Meng Lang and Jordan, who were jointly elected as the "Best Player of the Week" in the first week of the new season, were also jointly elected as the "Player of the Month Award" in the first month of the new season!
This mutual incompatibility also makes the battle between these two people in the "Christmas War" even more exciting.

However, before that, Meng Lang faced another "big battle".

The Lakers head to Miami to challenge the Heat!
He and Shaquille O'Neal, former partners of the Magic, are facing each other as opponents for the first time in their careers!
As usual, the Lakers and Meng Lang arrived in Miami the day before the game. Shaq excitedly rushed to the hotel where the Lakers were staying, met with Meng Lang, and took him to the busiest bar in Miami. .

He didn't know if it was because of Meng Lang's heart, but he always felt that Shaq was showing off to him his current presence in Miami.

Not only were the streets where cars drove on full of posters of Shaq, there was even a huge poster of Shaquille O'Neal outside the bar where Shaq took him to.

This seems to be the country of "big sharks".

This is how O'Neal introduced this place: "Dream, welcome to Shaq's kingdom!"

It can be seen that he is very happy here.

Of course, this happiness may not be as much as he showed.

because……

Look at the size of this guy!
When Meng Lang saw him, he thought the "big shark" from 93 was back.

Obviously the last time I saw him this summer, he was developing towards the Shaq of 00. Such a huge change in body shape in such a short period of time. You can imagine how much suffering this "fat-headed shark" suffered.

Shaq later said that Allen Iverson was like a smaller version of me.

This is his recognition of Iverson.

But there is one thing he said rightly. He is indeed very much like Allen Iverson, especially when it comes to training. He is as lazy as he can be. That period of weight loss absolutely killed him.

However, Shaq's body shape changed. Meng Lang had already anticipated this when he learned that Shaq was about to go to Miami, so it was not surprising.

With Pat Riley's character, how could he possibly watch this "big shark" turn into an "O"?
"Man, I've been looking forward to tomorrow's game for a long time. You have to be serious. I will definitely give my best!" When we parted at the end, Shaquille O'Neal gave Meng Lang a "tactic" with bright eyes and intent. Full.

He wasn't kidding, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He wants to prove to everyone who is the more qualified team leader, him or Meng Lang.

I just want to prove that it’s not just him, but also...

Buckley!
The cause of the matter was that a media reporter dug up his old dispute with Shaq. Barkley had previously said, "My grandma can win the championship if she plays with Dream." After listening to what the reporter said, Buckley nodded directly: "Yes, I still hold this view, and tonight, I will also prove this matter!"

"Whoever teams up with Dream will win!"

Regarding this point, if Barkley was still a little doubtful at first, now, after a month has passed, he definitely no longer has any doubts.

He is now the most loyal "dream blower".

He even thought about whether he should become a commentator after he retires and make "praising Meng Lang" his lifelong career.

When Shaquille O'Neal heard this, he was naturally unhappy. When he saw Meng Lang receiving the "Player of the Month Award" he won with Jordan, the "fire" in his heart that wanted to defeat the Lakers burned at its strongest.

In November, all eyes are on Meng Lang and Jordan.

But in fact, O'Neal's performance in November was really not bad.

他场均可以拿到27.4分11篮板3.2助攻2.6盖帽的数据，投篮命中率56.8%！

After "Big Dream" is about to leave, Ewing is aging, and David Robinson "suddenly" suffered a season-ending injury, "Shark" has become the most dazzling big center in the era of "Big Four Centers" .

But the overt and covert struggle between Meng Lang and Jordan made his performance somewhat unnoticed.

Barkley's words "added fuel to the fire" and completely ignited his anger.

This game, where he originally wanted to prove himself, now becomes even more important in Shaq's eyes!

Game time came quickly, and American Airlines Arena was filled with fans early.

There's a reason why Shaq is so sensitive and has his heart as high as the sky.

This season the Heat have indeed completed their transformation after his arrival.

After November, they won 11 of 15 games and ranked second in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Chicago Bulls.

You must know that the Heat only ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference last season, barely catching the "last train of the playoffs". Such a big transformation, how can Shaq not feel that he is awesome than Klass?
When he came on the court, there were cheers one after another, which was enough to show how satisfied Miami people were with the team's introduction of the "Shark."

Just as Shaq showed Meng Lang yesterday, he is indeed the "son of the city" in this city!
Next to Shaq, there is another highly popular player.

Tim Hardaway just transferred to the Heat at the end of last season.

There were two Hardaways in the 90s, both with outstanding abilities, and both were very good at using changes of direction to break through.

One is Meng Lang's good friend Anfernee Hardaway; the other is this "little bug" Tim Hardaway. His "crotch change" can be called a textbook-level offensive move.

With this move alone, he became one of the representative players at the No. 90 position in the s.

Another reason why Shaquille O'Neal has been "snubbed" by the media is because of his existence.

Many media believe that the Heat's transformation is inseparable from Tim Hardaway. Including Shaquille O'Neal's ability to perform like this is inseparable from the impact of Tim Hardaway on the outside.

Otherwise, just look at Mourning, who played 20 games with Hardaway at the end of last season.

He averaged 23.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game with the Heat last season, shooting 52.1% from the field!

Among them, his scoring average is a new high in his career.

But now with the Magic, there is no Tim Hardaway-level point guard on the outside. His data suddenly dropped to 19.8 points and 10.6 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was as low as 50.4%.

His performance declined, making Hardaway's gold content rise.

The gold content of "Little Bug" has increased, which means that the gold content of Shaquille O'Neal has to decline.

This is the famous "Liu Yue Theory of Relativity".

And these two people are also the two guys that Harris focuses on on his tactical board.

Since Harris is only 1 meters and very fast, the "Silver Fox" even had the idea of ​​​​putting Johnson on the bench, asking Meng Lang to play the third position, and putting the 83 meters Fisher on the court, "with a small system." Small".

From a tactical level, this consideration is entirely correct.

but……

Basketball games, sometimes, are not just about tactical restraint.

There is also the issue of coordination between players.

More importantly, it’s the atmosphere!

A team that has been winning in November, top of the Western Conference, benches a major starter because of a regular season game that may have defensive issues? And this person is "Magic" Johnson...

Excuse me?

Are you really serious?

Now Meng Lang finally understands why he dared to keep pressing Kobe and not letting him start.

This old man is really stunned!

They only look at the theoretical possibilities of tactical arrangements and don't look at the team's atmosphere at all.

As long as he has seen the Lakers averaging 111.4 points per game this season, then look at the points loss as high as 98.4 points per game. He will know that this Lakers team does not rely on defense to defeat its opponents. Instead, it relies on a steady stream of scoring.

Oh, by the way, he really noticed the 98.4 points allowed per game. Therefore, when Harris faced reporters' questions at the end of November, he still seriously criticized the Lakers' defensive problems: "We can completely limit the opponent's scoring to even lower!"

In fact, in the NBA, no matter what the tactical concept is, to put it bluntly, as long as you do two things, you can win.

Either you get more points than your opponent; or you can limit your opponent's points to less than yours!
Both offense and defense can win.

There is no need to worry about the defensive weaknesses of an offensive team with multiple ball handlers like the Lakers.

Even if defense at the three position is an issue.

But equally, the five of them can also smash the opponent's defense into a sieve!
Fortunately, during the team's training yesterday, Derek Fisher accidentally sprained his foot and was unable to play tonight. Harris just gave up the idea. Otherwise, Johnson's mood might be different.

Of course, he's not in a good mood now either.

As the "card face" of the league, now he can't even secure a starting position. It would be strange if Johnson didn't have some ups and downs in his heart.

Barkley and the others saw all this, but they couldn't say anything.

No matter what they say, it won't comfort Johnson now. On the contrary, Johnson will feel a greater gap.

"beep!"

The buzzer sounds and the game officially begins.

It was the Heat who came up to seize the initiative.

Shaquille O'Neal actively penetrated, trying to "squat" in the interior, but Divac's height and weight were also at stake here, and he was unable to quickly complete the position.

Hardaway saw that he did not get into position quickly, so he took the ball and attacked.

He is a rare offensive No. 1 position in this era. Jones faced him and was directly passed by him if he was not careful.

Here comes Hardaway's "crotch change"!
Meng Lang took over the defense, and Hardaway continued to lower his center of gravity and tried to rush past Meng Lang, but the Lakers shrank quickly. Even if Hardaway broke through Meng Lang, he could not complete the shot under the basket.

His height makes his breakthrough sharper, but it also prevents him from taking shots calmly after entering the basket, and he will be blocked if he is not careful. ——Not just any player with a height of 180+ can play on the basket like Allen Iverson.

When you think about it, Allen Iverson, whose height was still in an era when there was no "three-second zone", performed explosive scoring by playing on the "basket", you will subconsciously ignore his inefficient scoring.

Hardaway finally turned around and found Woshan Leonard on the outside when he was about to break through Meng Lang.

This was the later "champion" of the All-Star Three-Point Shooting Contest.

This title also reflects his technical characteristics to a certain extent.

Catch the ball and shoot three-pointers.

It seems that this Heat team is somewhat similar to the Magic team's configuration.

Hardaway's role is equivalent to another Hardaway; Leonard is equivalent to Meng Lang who has severely weakened the ball-handling, passing, physical talents, including shooting, and also weakened at least one level. Coupled with PJ Brown, Grant who has no shooting ability...

Even at the third position, there is a tool like Anderson, Keith Askins, who is mainly responsible for defense and fixed-point shooting of three-pointers.

It can be called a "magic team with severely weakened talent".

"Shh!"

Weakened, this kind of fixed-point shooting can still be hit steadily for Leonard, who has averaged 41.7% three-point shooting per game this season.

3-0!

"Let's give one back!"

Meng Lang slowly passed the half court with the ball while directing his teammates to move.

Pat Riley didn't let Leonard switch positions with Hardaway.

Judging from his research, Meng Lang likes to motivate his teammates first when playing at the No. 1 position.

and so……

"Shh!"

In response to his thoughts, Meng Lang took the ball to the frontcourt, one step away from the three-point line. He looked at Hardaway in front of him and raised his hand without thinking.

Quick response with a three-pointer!
Just kidding, can he waste this three-point opportunity that comes to him?
Once again it was the Heat's turn to attack.

Shaq struggled harder with Divac this time.

"European Tank" is worthy of being the man responsible for wrestling with peak Shaq in the future in the Kings. Facing Shaq, he is not weak at all. He is just in front of him. Whenever he makes a move to catch the ball, he will fight even more fiercely. confrontation.

This makes it extremely difficult for Shaq to catch the ball.

"fxxk!"

Shaq could only get out of the way and let Hardaway attack on his own.

"Little Bug" is indeed sharp enough. In this round, he held the ball in singles against Jones and completed the score with a mid-range jumper. Demonstrated excellent basic skills.

After Meng Lang caught the ball, he glanced at the defender waiting for him on the opposite side. Pat Riley changed his formation quickly and immediately replaced Meng Lang's defender with Leonard. When Meng Lang saw this, he gave the ball to Jones next to him and motioned for him to return the favor.

Let Hardaway make a breakthrough first and then a single. Jones really wanted to regain face.

After continuous foot movement, he suddenly made a large dragging step laterally, trying to "force" overtake by relying on his long leg advantage. Seeing Hardaway moving sideways very quickly, he didn't. After a step, he turned his hips and exerted force, accelerated the breakthrough for the second time, and successfully reached the high position on the right.

Hardaway was left behind.

He is indeed the man who asked Kobe to follow in his footsteps!

Jones's way of getting rid of the ball with the ball is really beautiful.

Unfortunately, the final pull-up jump shot failed to hit.

If you think about it carefully, Jones slowly transformed into a three-point shooter in the middle and later stages of his career.

This shooting with the ball is indeed not what he is good at.

It seems even more reasonable to think about the fact that Kobe followed a lot of his footsteps in the early stage and then became the "Iron King" of his generation...

Shaquille O'Neal and Divac faced off.

Barkley fought against Brown and successfully grabbed the rebound.

And it was the "brain picking" completed on Shaquille O'Neal's head.

He hit the ball on the ground, raised his butt at the same time, pushed away Brown, quickly twisted around, and completed the layup.

The whole movement is like a smooth flow, done in one go! (End of chapter)
