NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 198 Hey, this is called a profession
After the game on the court started, Kumbu was relieved a lot.

It seems that the anger I made a few days ago still has some effect. Iverson didn't do anything stupid tonight. He played very scientifically on the court. He passed the ball when he should, but he also took the opportunity to make a shot. Never let it go.

The biggest beneficiaries are Yao Ming and Reed.

After Yao Ming scored 40+ in his first show, he only scored 13 points in the last game. After all, he only scored 7 shots in the game against the Nets.

而今晚他总算是接到了艾弗森的不少传球，全场出手了17次，另外罚球8中7，全场拿下了31分8篮板1盖帽。

The data is not considered explosive, but the efficiency is very high. Even Ou Pang can't play 40+10 data every night.

Reid played very comfortably tonight. His current role in the team is a pure off-the-ball shooter. He keeps running without the ball in the offensive round, waiting for Iverson or other teammates to pass him the ball.

If he can receive the pass, no matter how good his touch is, his score will not be low.

If no one passes the ball to him and he doesn't feel the touch, then he won't score, so Reed is a typical example of depending on the sky, and whether he scores high or not depends entirely on luck.

Fortunately, Iverson gave him a lot of good passes tonight, allowing him to get several comfortable shots.

He made 11 of 6, including three three-pointers, and 4 of 3 free throws. He also scored 18 points tonight.

As a second-round pick, he was placed in the starting position not long after the start of his rookie season, and he also scored 18 points in a single game. It can be said that Reid's career has officially started.

Iverson fulfilled his promise to Kumbu tonight. He did not take more than 20 shots, made 15 of 8 shots, and his shooting percentage was higher than 23%. He scored 14 points and [-] assists.

In fact, if Iverson has been playing in the current style of play, his personal data will not be worse than before, and even better.

These three are the main scoring points of the 76ers at present, but the performance that satisfied Kumbu the most tonight was Kirilenko who only scored 4 points.

他出战了32分钟，入账了4分5篮板6助攻4盖帽3抢断，一个上双的都没有，但是这份数据的价值要远远高于寻常的20+10。

The more he got in touch with Kirilenko, the more Kumbu liked this old Slavic guy. Due to his personality and language, he usually didn't talk much at all, but once he got on the field, he turned into a wild beast, running around wildly, He can do any job and is willing to do it.

Even if he doesn't have the right to shoot, he still plays with unlimited vitality.

Winning Lukai, the ten-game winning streak required by the mission goal has already started a good start.

The next home game is against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Comb has entered the league's fourth season. If he wants to say that the team with the least sense of presence in his mind, the Cavaliers may rank first.

For so many years, Kumbu has not had much contact with the Cavaliers. The only chance to get in touch with the Cavaliers every year is the regular four games in the regular season.

The Cavaliers hired Randy Whitman as the coach last season. Whitman has been an assistant coach in the Timberwolves since he retired in 92. Strictly speaking, he is the head coach of the McHale department.

Comb's relationship with McHale has always been good, so he is not a stranger to Whitman.

Last night, the publicity manager of the 76ers approached Combe and asked him to look over the slogan for the game against the Cavaliers.

In order to attract fans to watch the game, some huge posters are often hung outside the arena. The gimmick of the game against the Cavaliers this time is the giant duel between Yao Ming and Big Z.

The two are not the tallest players in the league. After all, George Muresan is active, but both are over 220 cm tall.

In addition, many people also think that the styles of these two people are almost exactly the same. Some experts even think that Yao Ming is a stronger version of Big Z.

For such an evaluation, Combe could not admit it.

In Kongbu's eyes, Big Z's strength is very good. He has height, has a soft offensive touch, can pass the ball, has high jump shots, and has low singles ability. Experience can also produce good results, and rebounding ability is not top-notch.

Looking at it this way, it seems that he is seven or eight points similar to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming's characteristics can also be described by the above-mentioned words and sentences.

At least before 03, the technical characteristics of Big Z and Yao Ming were almost the same, even the shooting distance was almost the same.

Then after 03, Big Z's style began to change rapidly, and it was completely different from Yao Ming's style.

Big Z began to greatly increase the frequency of his long-range mid-range shots, from the original average of about 5% per game, to 10%, 20%, and even 40% to 50%, rising year after year.

Yao Ming has remained below 10% almost throughout his career.

The reason why Big Z has this kind of change is very simple, that is, James has entered the Cavaliers, he has to often mention the high position to pick and roll for James, and when James really can’t break through, pass the ball to Big Z, and he shoots in the high position , leading to an increasing proportion of long-distance two-point shots.

This change in style is actually beneficial to Big Z, at least it allows him to reduce hand-to-hand combat at the basket as much as possible and prolong his career life.

James also benefited from it. There is a super center with a height of 221 cm to do high pick-and-rolls, which is definitely something that outside players dream of.

And this center can still shoot, if he can't get in and pass it to him, he may get an assist immediately.

The key is that he can still pass the ball. After the pass, he runs an air cut, and the big Z passes it back, and he can get another shot.

Anyway, in the early stage of James' career, I really have to thank Big Z for his dedication.

Throughout James' entire career, he can have no teammates, but he can't have a big player like Big Z who can shoot high pick-and-rolls, first Big Z, then Bosh, Love and even later thick eyebrows.

In the 09-10 season, James left the team after the Cavaliers played. In fact, the main reason for leaving the team was that Big Z was no longer able to help James on the court. It would be good for him to average about ten minutes per game.

It happened that Wade and Bosh were going to team up in the Heat. Bosh was the best shooting big man in the league at the time. Obviously joining the Heat was the best choice for James.

In fact, after choosing Yao Ming, Kong Bu has been struggling with a problem.

That is which style should Yao Ming rely on.

A pure traditional center forward like Ao Pang needs a super large tonnage guarantee, and it is difficult to play dominance without tonnage.

This point is actually easy to understand. Two boxers with the same height, physical fitness and skills, it is self-evident who has the upper hand if they fight 100 kg against 60 kg.

Under normal circumstances, Yao Ming is also in this style,
However, Yao Ming was unlucky because he ran into an unlucky Adelman during Zheng Zheng's peak period. This guy has always regarded the Princeton system as a treasure. After the Rockets coached Yao Ming, he put Princeton on Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's tonnage was almost 150 kilograms at the time, and he had old injuries, and he often had to pull out to high positions to serve his teammates as pick-and-rolls.

The most terrible thing is that Adelman is a master who likes to fuck players. King Webber has to play 40 minutes per game in many seasons under his hands. If Yao Ming has Webber's physical fitness, that's all. High-intensity debut.

As a result, after two years of playing in the hands of Adelman, Yao Ming was almost useless.

If Yao Ming's tonnage wasn't that big at that time, then he might have survived for a few more years in Adelman's hands.

If you don't gain weight, you will lack dominance at the basket. If you gain weight, you will consume a lot of energy on the court and risk a lot of injury. This is where Kumbu hesitates. He is not sure whether Yao Ming should gain weight.

Now the new season has only played a few games, and Yao Ming hasn't met any decent center, so it doesn't matter if he gains weight or not, but once he meets Ao Pang, the thin bamboo pole will suffer a lot .

Against Big Z tonight, Kumbu decided to check the situation first, and then consult Yao Ming after the game.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Yao and Ai led the generals to start their debut, and the starters from the Cavaliers also came on the field.

The inner core of the Cavaliers is center Z, and the outer core is point guard Andre Karen Miller, which is similar to the 76ers.

Now the league has entered a new era. In the past, all teams liked to pile up twin towers under the basket, but now they have gradually entered the era of internal and external combinations.

In the first offensive round, the 76ers started to attack.

Facing Karen Mok, who is known as the point guard ATM, Iverson played very easily, controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and easily passed the opponent with just a sudden speed increase, and then passed the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming tried to push the big Z behind him, but he didn't move at all. He had no choice but to turn around and throw a throw.

The ball was not scored, and the rebound was also taken down by Big Z.

When he first participated in the draft in 96, Big Z's physical measurement data was 108 kg, which was really skinny.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and his body has become much stronger. In addition to Yao Ming's height, he is not something that Yao Ming can resist.

Kong Bu sighed secretly, it seemed that he didn't need to wait for the end of the game, now he could set Yao Ming's future style.

You still have to gain weight. If you don’t gain weight, you can only float outside and cast. Then Yao Ming will become the next big Z.

Now even Big Z can't play hard at the basket. Next, he has to face the tough guys like Ao Pang, Da Ben, Uncle Mu, and Duncan. Without the tonnage, he can't stand at the basket.

As for the increased risk of injury, after all, Kumbu can check the health status of the players. If the health value drops significantly, then he will simply take a rotation.

As long as you control your appearance time and take a few rounds off from time to time, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Yao's weight is still a bit too light, why don't I play the fifth position for a while?"

Said Barkley, who was sitting next to Combe.

Comb didn't refuse. After playing for a few minutes, he called a timeout, replaced Barkley and Oakley, and replaced Yao Ming and Ratliff.

"Dayao, which style do you think is more suitable for you, Daba or Dazhi?"

Kong Bu asked seemingly casually.

Yao Ming didn't even think about it, "It must be the big bus. I don't have the flexibility of Da Zhi, nor does he have a wide range of attack, and Da Zhi is not a center forward."

Both Daba and Da Zhi are in the fourth position, but Daba, like Duncan, is known as a center in the cloak of the fourth position.

"Okay, then take a good look at Barkley on the court, how he hits the basket."

"Next, we may have to hire a nutritionist for you, and try to use half a season to let you gain some weight."

Comb pointed to Barkley on the court and said.

Yao Ming solemnly looked at the inside duel on the court. On his first night with the 76ers, he talked to Kong Bu about his teammates.

Comb gave Barkley a very high evaluation at the time. He said that if Barkley had the height of Yao Ming, and could maintain his original strong figure and that huge butt, he would be the strongest center in history, and his dominance would even Can surpass Oban.

Barkley's real height is too short, and he may not be two meters tall with bare feet.

Even so, Barkley at his peak could easily average 25 points and 12 rebounds per game, and his key true shooting percentage was extremely high, even higher than that of Ao Pang or Yao Ming.

Since the rise of Barkley, descriptions of buttocks have often appeared in NBA players' physical test reports.

In the past, the physical hardware of players mainly included height, arm span, shoulder width, palm width, Achilles tendon length, standing height, etc., and no report specifically described the player's butt size.

With the rise of Barkley, various experts realized that they underestimated the importance of the butt to a player.

With a fat butt, he naturally has an absolute advantage in back hitting.

The admiral's butt is small, but his back kick is not as strong as Ao Pang's, even if his athletic talent is definitely better than Ao Pang's.

Yao Ming also really wanted to see Barkley's real fighting power.

Barkley on the field has received a pass from Iverson near the three-second zone.

I saw him directly lowering his center of gravity, like a grinding disc with wheels, and slowly grinding backwards against the big Z behind him. When he was grinding to the basket, he suddenly exerted force to push the big Z away, and then jumped up on the spot and went straight to the ground. Successful dunk.

"Hey, this is called professional!" Combe pointed to Barkley on the court and laughed.

If you only look at the back, Barkley is like Jordan in the CIC.

It's a pity that he is getting old after all, and this style of play is extremely exhausting. After only three rounds, Barkley couldn't handle it by himself. Taking advantage of the dead ball, he quickly asked Combe to replace him.

"No, it's really old, and that guy is too big."

Barkley said out of breath.

"Yao, your basic condition is very good. Your lower body is short and your chassis is solid. You are naturally suitable for playing from the back."

"Then you just need to exercise hard and improve your tonnage and strength. I don't think anyone in this league can defend against your back attack in a one-on-one situation."

Barkley turned to Yao Ming again and said.

Yao Ming looked embarrassed, his short legs turned out to be an advantage in Barkley's mouth.

Barkley didn't talk nonsense. Short legs are indeed a stable chassis, which is more suitable for exerting force and better static strength. This is why weightlifters are all short and thick.

Kumbu replaced Yao Ming on the court again. Although Yao Ming still had no obvious advantage against Big Z, the 76ers lineup was much stronger than the Cavaliers. After the game, the 76ers still won easily.

Iverson's offensive efficiency tonight was amazing. Facing ATM Karen Mok, he took 17 shots and scored 13 of them. He made 6 of 6 free throws and easily scored 35 points.

Yao Ming's data is 19 points and 8 rebounds, while the opponent Big Z is 18 points and 9 rebounds. Yao Ming's shooting percentage is higher, and he has a slight advantage overall.
