Almighty legend life

Chapter 630

Liu Han scored 50+ points in two consecutive games, making him once again the focus of media attention. Since he and Jordan left the NBA one after another, there are very few players in the league who not only lead the team to victory, but also set high scores on their own. players.

In addition, a game like Liu Han who scored 50+ points and won a triple-double has never appeared in the history of the league.Although McGrady also scored super data of 46 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists last season, such data is still slightly checked compared with Liu Han.

Although the Mavericks have been advancing all the way under the leadership of Liu Han, there are still some people who discredit the Mavericks for various reasons. It often appears, and some media pointed out that the Mavericks' previous opponents were relatively weak. Liu Han's data is purely scoring, which is not worthy of recognition. There are also many NBA celebrities who accused the Mavericks of not having a center at all. The blasphemy of basketball tradition, these malice actually come from the opponent teams of the Mavericks in the final analysis. They don’t want to see an overly strong team take the glory they deserve, so even if it can’t affect the Mavericks, it’s still disgusting. good.

However, the next opponent of the Mavericks is not the weak team that some media said. The Spurs were the championship team last season. , But everyone knows that the Spurs have a slow habit.

Moreover, the Mavericks are still playing away games. They have already experienced two consecutive away games. This is undoubtedly a test for the physical strength of the players. After all, the Mavericks' "bombardment" tactics are quite exhausting.

The Spurs are one of the representatives of defensive teams in the current league. Popovich studied under Larry Brown, but his current tactical system is a sublimation of the defensive system emphasized by Larry Brown. If Larry Brown coaches If the Pistons in China emphasize confrontation and the "American style" of the team, then Popovich's Spurs are very "tai chi".

Chinese people probably know that Tai Chi pays attention to "internal strength" and its core idea is "braking with stillness", which is very consistent with the current performance of the Spurs.

Except for Tim Duncan and Ginobili who are regarded as stars in the league, the other players in the Spurs team are almost all low-ranking or even second-round picks, and there are even undrafted players. The typical example is Bruce Bowen.

In Taijiquan, this seemingly slow boxing method is actually quite sinister. Needless to say, "pull the Yin foot", there is another move called "turning the body and punching", which is aimed at the lower body of the person The ruthless tricks of the past, Bruce Bowen is the Spurs team's "turning and punching".

This undrafted player did not find a suitable job in the NBA or even the NBDL at first, and had to go to Europe to find opportunities, but then Popovich introduced him to the Spurs, and he quickly became the team's single-defense vanguard. His omnipotent defensive strategy has made him many enemies in the league. For example, Vincent Carter, who has always been good-tempered, threatened to kill Bowen.

Popovich is very good at discovering the shining points of players. Under his training, these low-ranking or second-round picks can become "bricks" suitable for the Spurs. After the game, these "bricks" may not be able to It builds high-rise buildings all at once, but at least it is very suitable for smashing people.

If these are the "internal strength" of the Spurs, then the slow-paced style of the Spurs is the embodiment of "braking with silence".

In the last season, the Spurs averaged only 95.3 points per game, which is their highest score in recent seasons, but their conceded points were only 90.4 points.

The Spurs seldom play fast breaks in the game. They always end their offense with positional battles, and at the same time drag their opponents into slow positional battles. It is still the individual singles of Duncan, Ginobili and Tony Parker, these can only be used in positional battles.

Such a Spurs meeting the lightning-fast Mavericks, the collision of two different styles but belonging to the same state and Western Division teams is undoubtedly very attractive to fans.

So the game between the Spurs and the Mavericks won the opportunity to be broadcast live across the United States.

Liu Han, who came to the AT&T Center Arena in San Antonio, felt the fanatical atmosphere here. Compared with when he came here a few years ago, the fans here are now more confident and wild. Although the atmosphere does not match the style of the Spurs, it also shows the popularity of the Spurs in the local area.

"Liu, I'm so happy to see you again, haha, Erto said when he would go to Spain to watch your game, but now he has to fly across the Atlantic to see you again."

During the warm-up, Tony Parker first walked to Liu Han's side to greet him.

Apart from admiration for Liu Han, Tony Parker also expressed his sincere gratitude. If Liu Han hadn't brought him to the United States to go to college, he would not have gained Popovich's trust and stayed with the Spurs.

"It's nice to see you too, Tony, is that Elto guy still running his sporting goods store? Maybe he can be my brand's specialty store."

Liu Han also misses Eltor Parker, a young man in Lille, where he first came into contact with football.

"To be honest, I am really looking forward to playing against you, but you have to be careful in the game, some guys in our team are not so aboveboard."

Parker kindly reminded Liu Han that everyone knows who should pay attention.

"Thank you, Tony, don't worry, I will pay attention, after all, this is not the first time we have fought, isn't it?"

Liu Han "educated" Bruce Bowen when he was still on the Lakers, so he knew Bowen's methods very well.

In fact, what Liu Han is looking forward to in this game is the fight against Tim Duncan. In the season before he left the NBA, he saw the strength of this big man who was born as the No. [-] pick in the draft. Now the opponent has won his own. The championship, I believe, has also made great progress. Now Liu Han is eager to see the progress of this big man with a "sluggish" face.

Nowitzki is also full of fighting spirit in this game. After all, in the Western Conference, Tim Duncan is the one who can compete with him for the All-Star starting at the position of power forward. He hopes to use this game to prove his strength.
