Chapter 247 You Are No Longer Who You Were At Your Peak, Admit Defeat! (2 More, Please Subscribe)
The two teams used regular starters without changes.
Of course, the first opener of the new season, even if the lineup changes, the audience will not be able to tell.
In short, star players will not be pushed to the bench, which is both a privilege and a necessary tactic.
Zhou Yan, Anfernee Hardaway, Dikembe Mutombo, Colum Robinson, Boris Dior.
"We have every reason to believe that the Hawks' current starting lineup, even without Zhou Yan, is an above-average lineup, so compared to his teammates in Miami, Zhou Yan's team configuration has actually improved.
"We have every reason to believe that you are lying with your eyes open."
Before the game officially started, the two commentators started fighting each other.
"Davis, please tell me what's wrong with me?"
"Anywhere, everywhere! You say that this roster is an above-average team without Zhou Yan, so let's talk about these guys."
Having said this, the commentator turned off the microphone.
"Anfernee Hardaway before the third grade was indeed called Jordan's successor. At that time, he was selected as the All-Star, selected to the best team, and even became the youngest All-Star vote leader in history. But then? You and I both know A major injury ruined all of this. Strictly speaking, Penny did not have an All-Star level after 1996, and after he was traded to the Suns, he declined year by year and even fell out of the rotation [now you tell me this A string that just got cut by the 12th-ranked team in the West is above league average? Why? I want a reason."
The other commentator was left speechless by what his partner said, and he held it in for a long time before he could say: "Then what about the others?! Zhou Yan is not the only teammate of Hardaway now!"
"Mutombo has never been an All-Star regular, you and I know that players who start off defense are always defined as blue-collar, and a very small number of them will become superstars
The vast majority have only normal rotation levels. Of course, given that Africa's Dashan's defense is so fierce and excellent, I agree that he is far beyond the ordinary rotation level, and can even assign Dikembe to the top echelon of the All-Stars. But the problem is he's old, get it? The fifth position always declines earlier than the other four positions, and Dikembe is probably close to 40 years old by African chronology, and the defensive end has always required a lot of effort And physical strength can maintain efficient performance. At this age, there is no physical strength to speak of. Did you forget that the New Jersey Nets had Dikembe on the bench for nearly 20 games last season`||?"
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!"
"You said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse? I said that a shedding phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Time is the ultimate law that cannot be defeated by anyone. Of course I understand what you mean. If Hardaway and Dikembe They are all healthy and young enough, then the Eagles may even reach the second round in the Eastern Conference at this time, but... We all know that there is no if.
"Then what about the remaining two newcomers? You should always believe in fresh blood!"
"Rookie? Man! Glenn Robinson was the No. 1 pick in 1994! A super scorer who averaged 21 points per game in his rookie season."
"So there is no problem with my point of view. Any team with Green Robinson doesn't have to worry about scoring. The Big Dog is a natural scorer."
"Yes, it's a pity that he can only score, otherwise he wouldn't be traded to the Eagles by the Bucks. I heard that Tony Reis doesn't like big dogs, but the team always needs someone to stand up and score. No matter how bad the results are, they still have to keep playing. go down."
"So you still don't believe this team can make the playoffs without Zhou Yan?"
"You seem to have made a mistake."
Andre obviously didn't intend to mess around with this temporary partner: "You probably forgot about one thing, and I'm here to remind you now, without Zhou Yan, these few people wouldn't have gotten together at all."
The voice fell and the whistle sounded.
O'Neal jumped to the ball from Mutombo and gave it to Payton. Payton dribbled the ball across half court and waited until Shaq and Malone settled down.
At this time, Mutombo seemed to be the most pitiful player on the field.
Zhou Yan suddenly thought of Alonzo Mourning—even though he knew it was wrong.
One is topped with spurs and twin towers, the other is topped with...
It seems inappropriate to describe the Lakers as twin towers.
O'Neill is pure fat, Malone is pure strong.
After Mutombo won his third DPOY, he has been known as the patron saint of the restricted area for quite a long time.
But basketball is such a sport——offense is always more domineering than defense.
If it's a one-on-one, Mutombo has a chance, whether it's against an aging Malone or a donut-like Shaquille O'Neal.
Unfortunately, 2 against 1, there is no chance of winning.
O'Neal turned over and scored two points with a small hook. Dikembe could only watch, because Malone's iron elbow was on the periphery of his neck. .
Eagle bout.
Hardaway dribbles the ball to the frontcourt, passes to Diao, and then passes to Glenn Robinson. At this time, Zhou Yanchao moves in the middle distance on the right side.
The Big Dog starts near the free throw line.
The small forward breaks through and divides the ball, which is normal so far.
Zhou Yan frowned slightly.
The problem is with the breakout.
Glenn Robinson's first step wasn't exactly slow.
But Kobe followed too closely.
As expected of a defender who was selected to the second team of the best defense in the third grade, you must know that he is also the second position. When Kobe debuted, Jordan Yu Wei was still there. Zhou Yan was born in two years, and he hardly gave the veteran rookie at the second position. Leave nothing to chance.
Generally speaking, it takes some time for the first man to change hands. This period is called the gap period by the fans. Time is full of gunpowder and chaos everywhere.
Therefore, the gap period (of yours) is also called the chaos period.
The situation in the chaotic period is always unclear, especially the selection of the best team and the All-Star starters. Maybe this season is one person, and next season will immediately change to another person, and next season will become another person... .
After you sing, I will appear on stage.
It wasn't until the appearance of the new king that the chaotic situation of the separatist rule of the heroes came to an end.
If it is a normal number of years, or history repeats itself, Kobe will either become the league leader of the next era, or briefly reap the honor of the best team before the next new king appears.
It's a pity that I bumped into Zhou Yan who turned out to be.
No gaps, no chaos west.
After the old king abdicated and before the separatists ruled by the heroes, the new king took over the scepter almost like a god descending from the earth, and ruled everything again.
So as long as there are no accidents, the hardest honor Kobe can get on the defensive end for a long time to come is the second team.
It can only be a second scarf. .
