Standing pretty old

Chapter 515

Who is Ruan Erniu's biggest mortal enemy in the alliance?
Some people say it was Kobe Bryant, because Kobe wanted to prove that he could still win the championship without O'Neal, but Ruan Erniu blocked his way.

Some people also say that it is the Big Three of the Celtics, because the fundamental purpose of these three old guys to get together is for the championship. However, Erniu Ruan blocked their way.

Some even say that it is LeBron James, because the limelight of this chosen son was completely overshadowed by a newcomer who was just in the second grade. He was praised by the media as the greatest player after Jordan. Er Niu blocked his way, and James won the championship one step ahead.

The above-mentioned people all have reasons to hate or hate Er Niu, but it has to be said that none of them are the biggest victims.

There is one person who is worse than them, he is Dwight Howard!
Before Ruan Erniu, Huo Huaguang was infinitely close to the number one center in the league in terms of statistics, and was the player most likely to dominate the inside after being honored as the top four centers.

But since the appearance of Ruan Erniu, Huo Huo was immediately thrown into hell!
The regular season was overwhelmed, the All-Star starter was robbed, the league was squeezed out for a while, and honors such as rebounding champion and D-POY were also drifting away from him.

In the Olympics, Ruan Erniu took advantage of the home court and successfully fouled Howard consecutively, laying the foundation for the Tianchao men's basketball team to finally win the championship in the final.

If the above is not enough, Ruan Erniu has another "crime" that must be mentioned, that is, he is shaking the living space of the traditional standing center.

Since the appearance of Ruan Erniu, the league has paid more and more attention to the mobility of the center or inside.

In the original NBA draft, if you don't know who to pick, you can always choose a tall center, but the appearance of Ruan Erniu has overturned all this.

One of the hottest topics in the NBA right now is: Why do centers have to be so tall?

With the evolution of small ball tactics becoming more and more mature, most basketball experts have pointed out that both centers and power forwards must have sufficient mobility to cope with the faster and faster pace of the game.

This is not good news for the Sparks, that is to say, in everyone's expected future, there is not much room for a center like Howard to survive, because he does not conform to the trend.

In fact, Yao Ming also has such troubles, but the Tianchao center's shooting ability is passable, and he can also support at a high position. In comparison, the sparks with rougher skills are even more embarrassing.

This season's Magic performed better than last season in the regular season, only slightly behind the Celtics, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Under normal circumstances, all kinds of experts and media should dedicate the greatest applause and cheers to the Magic's defensive hub and the most important offensive containment point - Dwight Howard, but the reality is that most people are saying , Kraft Nguyen is the direction of the future, and Howard is just the last glare of the high center forward, a shining existence.

No matter how good-tempered Huo Hua is, she would never tolerate the people from the Celestial Dynasty oppressing her.

Before the first game between the Hawks and the Magic, Howard complained in front of the media regardless of his image: "I have a lot of opinions on the current All-Star voting. The Chinese people have gained too much advantage by virtue of their population advantage. It's not the first time."

A sensible reporter immediately helped him to round up the rhetoric: "Are you referring to Yi Jianlian? His statistics don't match his ranking at all?"

It is only natural for Allen to lie down, because he is indeed not qualified for the All-Star.

But World of Warcraft got confused directly, and he continued: "No, I mean all Chinese players!"

This caused controversy, because whether it is Ruan Erniu or Yao Ming's statistics and team records, they are well-deserved No.

Since ancient times, peers have been enemies, and top players at the same position are enemies among enemies.

As soon as the Hawks' normal training ended that afternoon, Ruan Erniu was surrounded by the media, wanting him to comment on Howard's statement about the All-Star voting.

Ruan Erniu didn't expect that Huohua would be so anxious, but there is no way, the competition is so cruel. Last season, this guy even questioned the identity of Erniu's center position. This season, he directly questioned the rationality of the vote.

Ruan Erniu replied with a smile: "How do I evaluate this? This is something that the top management of the league should care about. You should not ask me, but you should give the question to Mr. Stern. I believe Mr. Stern will give You have a satisfactory answer."

What satisfactory answer can Stern give the reporter?It is not just a set of official discourse.

We need Hongguoguo's teasing, the audience just likes your arguments!

Someone asked unwillingly: "Do you think Howard is targeting you? Maybe even involved in racial discrimination?"

Ruan Erniu took a look at this unknown tabloid reporter, he was deliberately trying to make things big!
Er Niu is not a guy who is easily bewitched. In some respects, he is a self-taught existence.

"No, I don't think Dwight is such a person. Maybe he just complained, or simply made a joke." Ruan Erniu said this seriously, and ended the interview.

If a Chinese person wants to succeed in the top basketball league in the United States, he needs more than just basketball talent. There are some minefields that must not be touched. Once Pandora's box is opened, who knows what will fly out of it? Not good, in the end Erniu himself will be implicated.

In any case, an ordinary regular season was endowed with special meaning before it even started.

The experts who were full and had nothing to do also stood up and said: "This is a big battle between traditional centers and future centers. The winner will determine the direction of basketball history!"

Well, if you don't make things big, everyone will be unhappy!

Ruan Erniu is certainly not the first time to come to Orlando Amway Center, but this time he was booed by the home fans unprecedentedly.

In a sense, this is also a manifestation of Er Niu's strength in defeating the Sparks time and time again in the NBA and in the international arena over the past year.

The louder the booing, the more proof Ruan Erniu is to the extent of the threat to Spark.

The league only needs one No. [-] center!

O'Neal is old, and Dayao's injury risks always exist. Only Ruan Erniu and Dwight Howard are at the peak of their careers.

The duel between them naturally attracted special attention. In the United States, it must be another full-meter live broadcast.

TNT hosted the game, Barkley and Reggie * Miller, the classic combination of the joint attack.

As for the Celestial Dynasty, the fifth channel of Chaoting TV did not miss the game. Yu Jia and Su Junyang were already sitting in the studio, waiting for the arrival of the live broadcast signal.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Lunar Eclipse said with a rare seriousness: "Are you ready to fight Howard to the death?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "Come on! I only care about whether I can win. Guys, don't be disturbed by outside voices! This is an ordinary game, Don't-have-a-cow .(Mi-style slang: don’t make a fuss.)”

　Thank you for the reward that I am more handsome and tell me!
