Chapter 559 The Contest of Future Top Centers

The current league is no longer dominated by centers in the 90s.

In other words, now, traditional big centers are becoming less and less popular in the league.

After O'Neal, there is only Yao Ming as a traditional center. Although Howard has been known as the number one center for a long time, every time he meets Yao Ming, Howard is treated badly.

Moreover, Qin Yan also knew that after the rise of Curry Thompson and others, once the three-pointer tactics started and the small ball tactics swept the league, traditional centers would have no status.

Especially the heavy center forward, who was basically reduced to a coolie later, and even had to practice three-pointers!

No way, if they don't practice, they will have nothing to eat and can only be reduced to blue-collar or eliminated.

And later, to some extent, Gasol suppressed Howard to become the best center (don't say that Jordan is the first center after Howard, that is really shabby.), and Whiteside Well, he has developed well in the original history, at least he is a very good athletic center.

Now, these two centers, who will shine even brighter in the future, are on the bar ahead of time.

Gasol's mid-range shot just now was forcibly scored on Whiteside's head. Of course, Whiteside must return an Answer Ball when he comes back.

Parker broke through, Whiteside came up to do a pick-and-roll, and Parker used the pick-and-roll to rush directly into the inside!
And Whiteside also turned around at the same moment Parker rushed in, and went in along the other way!
Because Parker's breakthrough is very sharp, Gasol Jr. had to raise his position a bit in order to put pressure on Parker when Whiteside went up the pick-and-roll. Break through smoothly.

But he obviously didn't expect Whiteside to go down so fast after blocking!

Moreover, the direction he went down also blocked Conley by the way, preventing Conley from coming back to defend Parker in the first place.

This means that Gasol can only stick to Parker first, otherwise Parker will rush over and layup directly.

But how could Parker let Gasol stick to him? Before the two of them made physical contact, Parker pushed the ball high into the air with his right hand!

The ball was pushed very high. Although Gasol had a height advantage, he couldn't help but couldn't jump. He could only watch the ball fly over his head.

"boom!"

There was the sound of the basket being bombed behind him, and Gasol was not stupid. With a little thought, he knew that it must be Whiteside who flew into the air and completed the alley-oop.

After all, the possibility of expecting Conley to defend Whiteside is too small.

Looking back, sure enough, Whiteside was jumping off the basket with a look of embarrassment, and beside him, Conley looked helpless.

There is really no way, even if Conley can dance, he can't stop such a big height gap!

Whiteside returns to defense. This offensive method is the easiest for Whiteside, or in other words, it is also his favorite method.

After all, there are many types of centers, and Gasol and Whiteside happen to be two of them.

Gasol Jr. is the heir to the traditional heavy center. This type of center has height, weight, and solid skills at the basket. If you want to give an example, the "gorilla" Ewing among the four centers is very standard. Heavy Center!Although he has no championship in his life, Ewing's basket dominance and shocking power are absolutely top-notch!

And Whiteside is the successor of the running and jumping or athletic center. This center is divided into two types, one is a sports basket terminator with both offensive and defensive capabilities with autonomous offensive capabilities, and the other is autonomous offensive capabilities. Poor, but athletic defender who focuses on defense.

The classic representative of the first type is the "Admiral" Robinson among the four major centers. With his well-defined muscles and the ability to control the ball and advance at high speed, Robinson led the way in the age of many people. Come out with your own piece of weapons.

The representative of the latter type is "Uncle Mu" who is familiar to Chinese fans. He has been professionally defending for 100 years and is the only one who shakes his finger without worrying about being called a technical foul.

Both of them have a relationship with Whiteside. Needless to say, Uncle Mu has just taught Whiteside for a whole summer this year, and he is a master in the true sense.

And Robinson is a meritorious veteran of the Spurs, and the big boss among the big shots was brought out by Popovich. Many of Popovich's methods of training Whiteside now refer to the training of Robinson back then.

So, Whiteside is really lucky. He was discovered by Qin Yan in advance. Not only was he not abolished, but he was also trained better.

But his problem is that his autonomous offensive ability is still not good enough. Although it is much better than rebounding guys like Jordan, but compared with Gasol Jr. who has solid offensive basic skills, Whiteside really has no advantage at all.

Therefore, for this Answer Ball, Whiteside still needs Parker's help.

But that's okay, the roll after the pick-and-roll is an effective way for centers to score.

Little Gasol attacks again, this guy is now in a healthy state, it is really not blocked, after receiving the ball, he will hit back hard!Brutely pushed Whiteside from the outside of the paint to the position that was about to reach the basket!

Then, without further ado, this guy turned around and was about to dunk on the spot!

If Gasol Jr. buckles this, what will be the face of Whiteside?

Moreover, if it is only this level, it would be strange if Whiteside couldn't let it go.

As Dikembe Mutombo's personal disciple, he can do nothing else, but he can't say no to blocking shots!
"Drink!"

Whiteside yelled, and then he took a small step back and quickly soared into the sky. When he took off, he felt a little forward, and instantly pressed his big hand on the basketball in Gasol's hand!
"Snapped!"

There is not much difference in strength between the two, and the advantage in weight cannot be used in the air. In addition, Whiteside has the inertia of rushing forward. It is no wonder that Gasol's ball was not shot flying. .

But it doesn't matter, because although this offense was not successful, in the next offense, Gasol once again used the card to withstand Whiteside and made a direct tip in the air.

The two big centers staged a very exciting center battle in the third quarter, and each won and lost, and it was difficult to distinguish between high and low.

Since the Yao Sha battle, it has been rare to see such evenly matched center forwards in the league.

Therefore, the two played lively, and the audience was very happy to watch. Even Qin Yan gave up the stage to the two of them for a while.

The league needs a center. This is a true inheritance. Although the two of them are still far from their respective templates, at least they have shown the hope of a center.

The center does not die, but gradually withers. Can these two people whose fate trajectory has been changed, recreate the prosperity of the center in the future?
