Chapter 392 The Best God-Slaying Lineup

With the end of the finals and the end of the 99/00 season, the offseason has entered, and the management of each team has also begun to get busy.

The next day, at [-]:[-] pm on the [-]th, the Knicks arrived in New York and were warmly welcomed by countless fans. The welcoming team lined up from the airport to the city center, blocking traffic in many places.

The celebration is arranged on the [-]th. The four consecutive championships are too great, second only to the Celtics' eight consecutive championships. This celebration will last for three days.

On the night of the [-]th, TNT arranged a program with the theme of "The Best Slayer Lineup".

The program invited several league superstars, including Air Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Duncan, Dameng, and O'Neal who was just defeated by Zhao Dong.

Early in the morning, TNT pushed the news of the program through various promotional channels, and the theme of the program was very attractive, so this program attracted a lot of attention. As soon as the program started, the ratings exceeded 2000 million, which is higher than the previous few years. The ratings for the finals were even higher.

The show was hosted by Barkley. From the very beginning, he stared at O'Neal and asked, "Shaq, being swept away by the god of efficiency, what do you want to say most now?"

O'Neill was silent for a while, and then said: "We have a chance, he is not invincible."

This sentence was very short, and O'Neill's expression was not as joking as before, but very silent and serious, which showed that he hadn't recovered from his defeat in the finals.

"So how do you think you can defeat the dragon, how can you kill the god? What do you need?" Barkley asked looking serious.

O'Neill fell silent again, he had to think about what he needed.

"Well, it seems that Shaq doesn't know what he needs for a while, let's ask other people's opinions."

Barkley turned his gun and aimed at Jordan, his earnest expression changed, and he asked with a smile: "Michael, Shaq was eliminated only once by the Dragon, but you were eliminated by him three times. How do you feel about failure when you face the Dragon?" The feeling should be the greatest..."

Jordan's face was completely dark, and he wished he could rush over and kick that bastard Barkley to death.

"What kind of god-slaying lineup do you think can defeat Feilong?" Barkley ignored Jordan's displeasure and asked with a smile.

"The best lineup for killing gods?"

Jordan shook his head with some sighs, and said: "Center, O'Neal, this is essential. Only O'Neal's efficiency at the basket can be higher than the overall efficiency of the Dragons. This position must be him."

Barkley and the others nodded in approval of Jordan's words.

Jordan added: "The power forward position cannot be a purely defensive player. Although power forwards do hard work and blame the center, this finals has proved that Ben Wallace has no ability to stretch. Going into the starting lineup with Shaquille O'Neal has the consequence that the Knicks can double-team O'Neal at the rim."

Abdul-Jabbar nodded at this time and said: "Yes, Ben Wallace doesn't have the ability to pull away. If you want to defeat the dragon, you must strengthen the offense at the basket, and you must not be double-teamed by the Knicks. Then the power forward must You need to have the ability to pull away."

Magic Johnson also nodded and said: "I watched the four finals on the spot. Ben Wallace provided defensive energy very well on the defensive end during the regular season. He is a barrier for the Lakers inside.

But after entering the finals, facing the Knicks, his presence in the interior effect was negative, and it did provide the Knicks with the opportunity to double-team O'Neal. "

Barkley said: "Then if you have no objections, Michael, you can continue."

Jordan said again: "Ben Wallace's position is actually a center. He and O'Neal's positions overlap. This is actually not his problem, but the Lakers' equipment is not in place."

This remark made other people nod their heads, because Big Ben was indeed playing a center for the Knicks, not a power forward.

"I think you need a two-way player at power forward in a lineup that can beat the Dragons," Jordan said.

This power forward has the ability to stretch, has good defense, and has the ability to move quickly. He needs to have the ability to break fast and return to defense quickly. "

"So who is the most suitable power forward?"

Barkley said while looking at Duncan, the only power forward among the six guests.

Duncan was seriously injured at the end of the regular season, and the meniscus was injured. Now he has recovered from the injury, but it is basically certain that he can no longer be the flying devil before. As an insider, he is likely to fall into the mundane world. Become a floor stream.

Duncan has the lowest qualifications among these people, and he doesn't have the honor of the championship in his previous life. He is a low-key person, and now he seems to be even more low-key. Everyone talked for a long time, but he hasn't spoken yet. At this time, he was targeted by Barkley , I had to speak.

"I'm probably not."

He first denied himself and said: "My current speed can't keep up with Flying Dragon. He is too fast. His speed is a bug in the interior and even at the small forward position. I think this person should be lighter than Flying Dragon in terms of tonnage. It will allow him to move faster."

Everyone nodded, and Barkley said again: "Then who do you think is the most suitable?"

"This is not to say who is the most suitable, I can only say that there are so few people who are suitable."

Duncan hesitated for a while, and said a few names, he said: "Rashid Wallace of the Bulls has good offense, defense and speed.

Then there is the rookie Artest of the Sonics. He has a good defense and can shoot well. His moving speed may be a little slower than that of the Flying Dragon, which is also suitable.

There is also Jazz's rookie Kirilenko, who is very light, but he is very versatile and plays a small forward, so he should also be suitable.

These two rookies are actually small forwards, but I think they can also try the power forward position.

In fact, the most suitable ones are Karl Malone and Kevin Garnett, among which the young Garnett is the most suitable one. "

The forwards he mentioned were basically recognized by everyone, even the two rookies did not object.

"Let's not talk about the two rookies. If they face Feilong, they will be too tender."

Jordan smiled and said, "The postman and Garnett, I agree with Garnett more. The postman has repeatedly proved that he can't deal with dragons, we don't need to discuss him."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone knows that Jordan hates the postman, because the postman elbowed Jordan, and in Feilong's words, being elbowed by the postman rolled around on the floor.

"This bastard!"

The postman Karl Malone was exhausted after a day of wrestling training. He was lying on the sofa watching this show, and he couldn't help being very angry when he saw that Jordan was hurting him again.

Jordan said: "I think Kevin Garnett is very suitable. He is indeed the most suitable power forward. His defensive area can even cover the three-point line, and his shooting is also very good, turning around and stepping back. Very good, it can be compared to Nets Yao's turnaround jumper."

Barkley said at this time: "When it comes to Yao, let's go back to the center position first. Do you think Yao can compete for O'Neal's position?"

This sentence stunned everyone.

But when they thought about Yao Min's performance this season, especially in the two games against the Lakers and against O'Neal, they couldn't help but nodded.

O'Neill looked helpless and said: "To be honest, that rookie surprised me very much. When I first saw him make a turnaround jumper in front of me, I was stunned. Can you imagine a 226 cm, Are there even more than one big guy doing that on your head? It's unbelievable!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Barkley said with a smile: "Talking about Yao, the most qualified person here is Dameng, because Yao was trained by Dameng."

Shaking his head, Dameng said proudly: "He was trained by Coach K, Feilong decided his development path, I just taught him some playing experience and my Dameng's pace.

But what Charles Pen Shaq said is right, as long as he plays normally, he can beat any center in this league. He has the skills and strength.

Of course, a guy like O'Neill can also blow him up, and they can blow each other up.

So I agree with what Charles said. Yao is indeed qualified to be the center in the Tushen lineup, and he can compete with O'Neal for that position. "

"Okay, now let's continue to discuss other positions. Michael, you are still three positions away, so hurry up and give your best lineup for killing gods."

Barkley said excitedly.

Jordan continued: "Small forwards also need people with both offense and defense. Let's put it this way, the Dragon can play five positions, so all five positions need people with both offense and defense.

I think the best small forward in active play is..."

He didn't hesitate, because he had been thinking about this matter, and immediately said: "...No."

"what?"

Everyone was startled.

Barkley hurriedly asked, "Is there not one?"

Jordan shook his head seriously and said: "I can't find a small forward who can play against the dragon. You should know that he often plays this position in the regular season, so this candidate is very important.

The two rookies mentioned by Tim just now have the opportunity to try to play against the flying dragon, but they are still too young and will be blown into scum by the flying dragon.

In addition, the Bulls' McGrady has both offense and defense, and his speed is not slower than that of the dragon. He is extremely talented, so you can give it a try.

But the Bulls were swept by the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. I don't think he is eligible for this god-killing lineup for the time being. "

"Put down this position first, what about the back line?" Barkley asked.

Jordan said: "In this finals, the role of the outside line has been weakened. Have you noticed this?"

Dameng nodded and said: "Because Feilong's efficiency is too high, the Lakers can only pursue offense at the basket, and that is the world of the inside line, so the role of the outside line is weakened, which is inevitable."

Jordan said: "When strengthening the offense at the basket, no matter how good the outside line is, no matter how good the guard is, it will be weakened, because no matter how strong the outside line is, his efficiency is not as good as the inside line. This is the terrible thing about Feilong. His efficiency, Serious blow to the outside line.

The Lakers have Kobe and Glenn Rice on the outside. These are two top outside attackers, but their performance in the finals is not as good as the regular season. It’s not that they can’t play, but they can’t be allowed to play, because the Lakers need O'Neal shot more at the rim, and their tactical status decreased. "

Magic Johnson said at this time: "But I think there are some problems with the tactics of the Lakers this time. They put too much emphasis on offense at the basket. Shaq did play with high efficiency, even higher than the efficiency of the dragon in some games, but the strength of the outside It is wrong to be weakened.

I think the Lakers should attack based on the basket, but to strengthen the connection between the inside and the outside, the inside compresses the Knicks' defense, and the outside gets room for shots. This is the best tactic. "

Jordan shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about tactics, that's the coach's problem, we're talking about the lineup."

He didn't want Phil Jackson to get involved in this issue, so he changed the subject and said, "Let me mention two guards. The shooting guard is Kobe, and the point guard is Payton."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Jordan's choice of guard.

Both offensive and defensive, these two guards seem to be the most suitable.

Although Kobe has only played for four seasons, he has fully grown up. He has both offense and defense, and his obsession with victory is also very strong.

In this finals, because the tactics relied too much on O'Neal, his energy was not fully utilized.

And Payton, who scored 24.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.2 blocks this season, was selected for the double team this season, and he has both offense and defense.

Barkley asked the others: "Everyone, you can also come up with your own best dragon-slaying lineup."

Dameng glanced at O'Neal. The relationship between the four super centers is not very good, but he has a good relationship with O'Neal. He said with a smile: "I think Yao is more suitable for the center position."

O'Neill was dissatisfied, and shouted at Dameng: "Hakeem, everyone knows that you, like Michael, hang out with Feilong. Your choice is unfair."

Dameng glanced at Jordan with a smile and said, "That's two different things, you can listen to my reason."

"Tell me, let's see what flowers you can come up with." O'Neill muttered.

Dameng explained with a smile: "Where did the Lakers lose in this finals? Is it efficiency? No, Shaq once surpassed Dragon in efficiency at the basket."

"Yes, so I think we have a chance." O'Neill said quickly.

The others also nodded.

Dameng continued: "Then why did the Lakers lose? Physical fitness, Shaq's physical fitness. Shaq's style of play determines that his physical energy consumption is very huge. His efficiency in the fourth quarter is not as good as in the first three quarters, nor is it as good as flying dragon.

Where is Fei Longqiang?Strong in efficiency.

The usual high efficiency, even in the last second, he has enough physical strength to maintain his high efficiency, this is the most terrifying thing about him.

Then his opponent was so tired that he almost fell to the ground, and his efficiency dropped drastically, but he was still equally efficient. "

"Hakeem, do you think Yao's style of play allows him to avoid his physical weakness?" Kareem asked.

Magic Johnson said: "Yao doesn't have Shaq's dominance around the basket, that's for sure, he should weigh 125 kilograms and can't attack the basket, so his overall efficiency is not as good as Shaq's.

I'm referring to Shaq in the Finals, because in the regular season, Shaq wasn't that efficient, he wasn't going to consistently attack the rim.

So if Yao can't play Shaq's efficiency at the basket, what's the point of his physical fitness even if he can last the entire game? "

Everyone nodded incessantly, and looked at Dameng to see how he explained it.

Dameng said with a smile: "But he has a shooting touch that O'Neal cannot have. His offense can go as far as the three-point line. If he is equipped with a power forward like Garnett and Duncan, what do you think will happen?"

Jordan blurted out: "The Knicks are all pulled out inside, and the outside cuts to the basket, and they can also play super efficient."

"Yes, that's it."

Dameng said emotionally: "Lack the Knicks, so that you can play the role of the outside line, instead of fighting hard inside the basket like the Lakers this time, the outside line has no room to break through, and the tactical position is severely weakened. The power is self-castrated, and the power of the outside line is wasted for nothing.

At the same time, the outside line shares the offense of the inside line, which also reduces the physical consumption of the inside line. On the other hand, it can also improve the efficiency of the inside line. "

Los Angeles, Phil Jackson saw this, closed his eyes, leaned on the sofa, and began to think about the big dream.

Dameng's words made him realize the problem of his own tactical thinking, and also made him realize the idea of ​​​​building a new lineup.

Similarly, the Lakers general manager Jerry West is the same, he began to consider this issue.

Zhao Dong was also watching this program, but he nodded when he saw this, and he also agreed with what Dameng said.

Whether it is O'Neal or Dayao, at the basket, in the low post, no matter facing any inside player, they all have a strong dislocation advantage.

One is the advantage of the Big Mac, and the other is the advantage of height and technology.

These two advantages can blow him up, and he can't guard against them.

The only way he can compete with these two advantages and overcome them is to play more efficient and play more durable and efficient performances.

The only thing is to use defense to consume their physical energy and reduce their efficiency as much as possible.

So he also agrees with Dameng's words, Dayao also has the qualifications to enter the God Slayer lineup.

Barkley's show was watched by 500 million people at its peak, and the ratings were super high. It had an effect, and the attention of all players involved in the God-slaying lineup instantly skyrocketed.

But for any team with the idea of ​​winning the championship, the management has their eyes on these people.

Even the two rookies Artest and Kirilenko, and of course Dayao, have entered the sight of the management of these teams.

"Tim, how can you deny yourself on the show? You are the power forward candidate for the best team."

As soon as the show ended, Duncan had just arrived backstage when his agent, Charles Banks, called and was very dissatisfied with what he said on the show.

Now Duncan has decided to jump out of the last year of the Spurs contract and to test the waters of the free market. Although he is seriously injured and has no championship honors in his previous life, he is still a big fish in the free market. attention, it will be more conducive to his next contract.

Unfortunately, Duncan denied himself with one sentence, and Banks was very annoyed.

"I'm just being honest, Charles, it's just a show, and there's no real team that can put together a roster like that."

Duncan hasn't noticed the attention this show has brought at this time, so his attitude doesn't matter.

Banks was too angry to speak, Tim, you have a golf quotient, but you lack an IQ!

On the [-]th, the Knicks celebrated for three consecutive days.

On the [-]th, the celebration ended, and at [-] am on the [-]th, Zhao Dong chartered a direct flight to Beijing.
