I am so Accurate

Chapter 195 Yao Ming and Kwame Brown (updating it again!)

After sweeping the Kings in the Western Conference Semifinals, the Lakers faced Duncan and the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

It looked like it would be a fierce battle, but in the end, the Lakers swept the Spurs 4-0.

Popovich and the Spurs were helpless.

At this time, look at Porter's sentence "They want to hack us, because we are the only team that can fight against Los Angeles" looks a little funny.

Because for the league, that's really unnecessary.

After the Western Conference Finals, Nelson Sr. called Popovich.

"Your way can't win a championship now."

Old Nelson's words almost made Popovich so angry that he hit someone along the phone line.

"No one can beat them."

Popovich threw such a sentence at Nelson Sr. before hanging up the phone.

Yep, no one can beat this Lakers team.

Whether it's Popovich's feelings after playing with them, or the feelings of the fans.

Q: What is the winning percentage from the 76ers against the Lakers?

Answer: 0.

This is a simple question that cannot be simpler.

Because the current Lakers team is too strong, strong enough to enter the discussion range of the strongest team in the NBA.

In fact, if it wasn't for traveling through time, Sun Hao also felt that the 76ers had no chance of winning against the Lakers.

Not to mention the thrills of the 76ers fighting all the way, the consecutive tiebreakers consumed a lot of physical energy, Iverson was also injured, and the defense they relied on for survival basically couldn't stop the OK combination's internal and external firepower.

No one thought they could win, or even that they would win one.

Sun Hao and Yao Ming found time to watch the live broadcast of G1 of the Finals together.

Sun Hao also watched this game in his previous life.

However, there are two types of games, one is for those who have not seen it and want to watch it, and the other is for those who have seen it and want to watch it.

This is also the case with women.

This classic game is so classic that it is recorded in history.

Iverson scored 48 points in the finals and knocked out the OK combination by himself.

O'Neal's 44 points and 20 rebounds became the most gorgeous background board, and Kobe, who made 7 of 22 shots, was hacked again after the game.

You must know that O'Neal scored 44 points and only had 28 shots in total, only 6 more than Kobe.

Also, Iverson's classic cross to Tyronn Lue.

Lu, who was full of question marks, seemed to recall the scene at the beach court a year ago.

A rookie named Sun Hao did something similar to him.

This is a victory of personal heroism, and it is also a victory that makes the fans extremely fanatical.

Because of a small man, the myth of the invincible OK combination was shattered.

It gave people hope and light, he made people more fanatical about basketball, and it... was finally killed by OK.

Fairy tales are all deceptive. In the face of the absolute power gap, winning the next game is already the limit.

And Tyronn Lue, the boy with dreadlocks like Iverson, stuck himself to Iverson like a candy.

Knowing his shame and then being brave, Lu has become an absolute surprise in this series.

Iverson, the 76ers' only offensive weapon was restricted, and they also lost the capital to challenge the Lakers.

June 18, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The 76ers launched a final charge towards the Lakers, and Iverson regained some touch and scored 33 points.

Tyron Hill, Eric Snow, and even Uncle Mu gave Iverson enough support. The three of them scored 44 points together.

They were only 4 points behind the Lakers at halftime, and they were about to bring the series back to Philadelphia.

But it only took the Lakers the third quarter to crush them.

O'Neal had 29 points and 13 rebounds, Kobe had 26 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, Fox had 20 points and 6 assists, Fisher had 18 points, and the Lakers were enjoying the game.

When the final game was fixed at 108 to 96, the red light on the sidelines came on, and the Lakers completed two consecutive championships!

They were the first team to do this after Jordan retired.

O'Neal averaged 33.0 points, 15.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.4 blocks per game. He was enjoying the crazy celebration of his teammates.

Although Kobe is still not the protagonist, he averaged 24.6 points per game, which is a huge improvement compared to last year's 15.6 points.

The entire city of Los Angeles was celebrating wildly, leaving only the silent backs of Iverson and the 76ers.

This is the era of OK.

Although, it has some imperfections.

After the celebration in the arena, some fans took pictures of the scene outside the locker room.

Kobe was drenched all over, looking like after the champagne was poured. He was holding the O'Brien Cup that belonged to the dream of many players, but his figure looked very lonely.

Perhaps sharp-eyed fans will notice that on the night Kobe won the championship, his parents did not come to the scene.

Because Kobe insisted on marrying Vanessa, his parents have cut off contact with him.

The finals ended with a bang, O'Neal won the FMVP, the Lakers dynasty was born, and the 2000-2001 season finally came to an end.

In late June, Jordan returned to Washington, and Sun Hao also went to Washington with Yao Ming.

Yao Ming has already participated in the trial training of other teams one after another, and now there is only the last one left.

The Wizards holding the No. 1 pick.

The time was dialed back to the summer of 1998, when the NBA was suspended, Jordan announced his retirement, and the entire basketball circle suffered heavy losses.

And it was a summer with no winners.

Jordan said in his retirement speech that he has pursued basketball and that he wants to spend more time with his family.

But that was more of a passing thought.

Jordan's status determines that he can't really stay at home.

In fact, after Jordan retired, he has been seeking a position in the team's management, and it is the kind of role that goes directly to the top.

After all, he was crushed by Klaus when he was in the Bulls.

He didn't want to experience something like that again.

But the problem is that the owners of most teams are successful people. One point they understand very well is that professional things should be done by professional people.

Even if Jordan is the god of basketball, he is still a player.

Not to mention that the advice he gave during the Bulls period turned out not to be so good in the end.

So until this year, in the past two and a half years, the Wizards gave him such an opportunity.

However, after half a year, Jordan proved one thing, he is really not good at management.

Of course, anyone's success or failure cannot be judged in a short period of time, and this time the draft is very critical.

The Wizards holding the No. 1 lottery will choose the next cornerstone of the team, or choose a No. 1 goalkeeper, or a parallel importer, and Mr. Joe will have his last look.

In fact, just like the rumors in the market, Mr. Joe is already drooling over Kwame Brown.

He is 2.11 meters tall, weighs 122 kilograms, has top-notch physical talent, and has muscles that are different from those of high school students.

Except for the slightly smaller hands, all you can see from him is full of talent.

If you compare it with the future, he feels stronger than Howard before the draft.

The stronger place is his body, which seems to be able to adapt to the NBA level game very quickly.

In the case that Jordan may come back, the inside big man he wants to find is also a very important reference factor.

The 38-year-old Jordan has no time to wait for a genius who needs a long time to adapt to the NBA to grow up.

This is also an important reason why he did not invite Yao Ming to try out.

Yao Ming looks too thin, it will take a long time to adapt to the confrontation in the NBA.

Time goes back to the present, the Verizon Center Arena, the Wizards are conducting a trial training.

There are only four players participating in the trial training, Kwame Brown, Chandler and Yao Ming.

This is also the top three pick prediction given in ESPN's latest draft list.

At the beginning of the trial training, dynamic and static physical tests are the same as in the original joint trial training.

Brown's static height and wingspan, dynamic touch high bounce, are all talents visible to the naked eye.

In terms of physical fitness alone, he is definitely the strongest in this draft.

After the basic trial training, the Wizards also arranged a one-on-one.

Chandler hit Brown first.

Both are powerful insiders, and this looks like a close matchup.

But it turned out that Chandler was blown away by Brown.

Chandler was only a high school student at this time, his strength was relative, and when he met Brown who was stronger than him, his advantage disappeared.

Brown didn't need too much skill to destroy Chandler's defense.

Conversely, Chandler is not very good at offense, and scoring is a luxury when he encounters an insider with tough confrontation and strong defensive ability like Brown.

Not only did Jordan come to the Wizards' trial training this time, but also the team owner Pauline.

Watching the one-on-one between Brown and Chandler, both of them couldn't hide their smiles.

Especially Pauline, there is a feeling of a chance to do it all over again.

Speaking of the Wizards, we have to mention the 1995 NBA Draft.

The Wizards at the time were still called the Washington Bullets. They held the No. 4 pick, but in the end they chose Rasheed Wallace instead of Garnett, who was picked by the Timberwolves at No. 5.

A few years later, when Garnett became the hottest new star in the league, Wallace fell to the point where he was traded by the team.

That has also become the biggest pain in the hearts of Washingtonians.

Now this pain can finally be smoothed over.

A high school student who looked stronger than Garnett was right in front of their eyes.

Chandler ended in embarrassment, followed by Yao Ming.

"Dayao, don't hold back, just blow them up, especially Brown."

Before the trial training started, Sun Hao specifically told Yao Ming.

It is very difficult to change Jordan's mind by speaking.

There is only one way to change his mind, and that is to call him.

Yao Ming nodded.

Although he has never played against Brown before, he has never been afraid of anyone.

The ball was delivered and Brown went first.

Brown body-butted Yao Ming, who seemed to get knocked away easily.

When he was about to dunk, Brown got a block, just like he did in Chicago.

And he was not as lucky as Curry at the beginning, the ball was fanned out of the field directly.

Jordan and Pauline unconsciously froze for a moment.

Yao Ming's reaction was a bit quick.

Sun Hao was also very surprised.

Of course, what surprised him was not Yao Ming's ability to take the risk, but Yao Ming's choice.

Yao Ming obviously dodged Brown for a while, so that the opponent didn't have to struggle, and then he reached out and took the initiative to block the shot.

It seems that this is not much different from facing Curry in Chicago, but after a closer look, the difference is big.

The learning ability that Jordan praised Sun Hao before has also been demonstrated in Yao Ming.

Moreover, Yao Ming has no system, so this kind of learning ability is really commendable.

The ball is exchanged, and Yao Ming attacks Brown.

Jordan and Pauline turned their attention to the field again.

This time Jordan looked focused.

Just like what Sun Hao showed in his mid-distance training before, Jordan is a master of basketball skills, and he can see what Sun Hao can see.

He also knows that Brown's offensive skills are rough, and he values ​​Brown's defense more.

After all, he can do it on his own for offense, but for defense, he is old after all, and he must have strong enough players to guard the inside.

The ball was sent out, Yao Ming caught it, leaned on Brown, turned around and made a hook shot.

The movement of this ball is very beautiful, but Brown is really not a vegetarian. After holding Yao Ming, he waited for an opportunity to make a shot. Although he missed the block, it gave enough interference.

Yao Ming's shot also failed to score.

Jordan showed a gratified look on his face at this time, he still saw Brown right.

Yao Ming's expression didn't change much. He probably didn't expect Brown to react so quickly, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

Brown attacked again, this time he pushed Yao Ming away with continuous force, and only after he was sure that Yao Ming was out of reach did he make a move.

The disadvantage of Yao Ming's confrontation is revealed, and the interference of this block shot is limited.

But the ball that Brown was determined to win... turned out to be a buttery hand!

Hand small pot.

Brown's consecutive offenses did not score, and the ball was exchanged again.

Yao Ming received the ball again, turned around and shot backwards to the free throw line.

This action made Jordan stunned.

You are a 2.26 meter person!

"Shua!"

But what's even more exaggerated is that the ball was shot hollow.

1 to 0.

Yao Ming scored first.

Sun Hao stretched out his hand to applaud Yao Ming.

Well done!

History has said that it was such a stupid decision for Jordan to choose Brown, but now it seems to be somewhat of an afterthought.

After all, things like psychological quality are not very visible. In terms of talent alone, Brown is better than Chandler and Curry.

This can be seen from Yao Ming's successive confrontations with these people.

Yao Ming continued to catch the ball, this time he chose the hook after turning around continuously.

Brown couldn't keep up with Yao Ming's rhythm. He felt that he was facing a power forward instead of a power center.

In the end, he missed the point of Yao Ming's shot, Yao Ming's light little hook.

"Shua!"

With a soft touch, Yao Ming made another victory!

2 to 0!

Jordan's eyes seemed to change at this time.

Yao Ming continued to catch the ball, this time directly after the confrontation, he borrowed an outside hook with the advantage of the trend.

Brown couldn't jump or cover.

"Shua!"

3 to 0!

Yao Ming's soft touch makes people feel incredible.

At this moment, Jordan turned his head and said something to Pauline, and Pauline nodded.

The confrontation on the court ended quickly, and Brown didn't have much to do in the face of Yao Ming's offense.

Just like he blasted Chandler before, Yao Ming blasted him completely, and it was more thorough.
