the rest, only noise

Chapter 957

The Hornets can be regarded as a template for many rebuilding teams.

There is no smart trade, no rich and powerful robbing people, what makes them from the deceptive expansion team to the first group in the East is the draft.

However, every year, a large number of teams bet on the draft, and there are very few teams that can really select useful people.

Therefore, the draft can be regarded as the least difficult reconstruction method, but the longest time-consuming reconstruction method, which may take five or six years to make up for the crime of blindness if one is not careful.

But like the Hornets, since the establishment of the team, except for the selection of Chris Jackson in 1990, other choices are considered good choices.

With sharpshooter Dale Ellis as the core of the team, Rex Chapman, Glenn Rice, and Larry Johnson were acquired through the draft.

As a new force, they have played against the Knicks in the past few years.

This year, they attempted to capsize the Knicks in the gutter.

That determination stemmed from an unexpected situation within the grasp of their coaching staff.

Game1, the two sides played against each other normally.

There are two most anticipated matchups.

The battle between Ewing and Song Tao and the battle between Kemp and Big Mom.

It is well known that Song Tao played as a substitute for Ewing when he was in the Knicks.

As the first NBA player in Chinese history, he has a high reputation in the league. After the 76ers proved that he is not related to Louis, he joined Charlotte as a starter.

This year, Song Tao played the best season of his career, averaging 12 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game.

In this golden age of centers, he is not considered a star player.

But no one will regard him as a star player.

In this game, Song Tao basically completed the task assigned to him by the team and withstood Ewing with all his strength.

Glenn Rice has a good touch, and he and Wilson saw each other, and neither of them took advantage.

Once a player like Rice is in good form, even an offensive and defensive superstar like Wilson cannot establish a matchup advantage in a game.

Dale Ellis and Reggie Miller soared each other for three-pointers, and neither of them convinced the other.

There are two points where the Knicks really gained an advantage. On the outside, Stockton was strategizing and lashing out at Fang Qiu, and on the inside, Kemp was both wise and brave, unexpectedly blowing up Larry Johnson.

In Louie's mind, the ranking of power forwards in the league, the first is Malone, the second is Manning, the third is Hank Geithers, the fourth is Big Mom Johnson, and the fifth is Kemp.

If you want to ask where Barkley is ranked, the answer is that he is not ranked.

If Barkley is regarded as a power forward, he can undoubtedly compete with Malone for the first place, but after accepting the football strategy in Portland, he lost the fat that accompanied him for many years. Therefore, he played more at the third position in the strong Blazers.

Only in the decisive battle, he will play the fourth position.

He is not the third position yet, just like KLK (Kagney Linn Karter) lost his eligibility to enter the Huns film list after undergoing breast reduction surgery.

Going back to this game, Aunt Johnson vs. Kemp, Louie's original expectation was that he would not fall behind.

The result surprised him—Kamp thought that it was not enough just to not lose the wind, he would not only not suffer, but he would also have to shit on Big Mom’s strong body that could hunch up two Miyuki Arisaka.

It cannot be said that Kemp's progress exceeded Louie's expectations.

Because Kemp has improved significantly every year, it is not impossible to evolve again during the season.

Tonight against Big Mom Johnson, although the opponent is the top four in the league, Kemp attacked with a tough face basket, making Big Mom's defense difficult to be effective.

After Sampson, inside players developed a style of attacking the basket.

There are more and more players who learn by imitation.

Kemp is just one of them. His face-to-basket attack is not as spiritual as Manning, nor does he have the incomparable height advantage like Sampson.

Kemp's face basket is strong in the combination of explosive power and human ball.

Not as many tricks as Manning, nor as unattainable as Sampson, Kemp has his own way.

His dribble has a low center of gravity, and he is an insider with a forward dribbling attitude. Coupled with the unmatched explosive power and instant start in the same position, his first step is so smooth that it feels like two players of different levels.

In front of Big Mom, Kemp is like a player of another class.

Every time he dribbled the ball, the aunt couldn't defend him. If Song Tao hadn't made up the inside defense in time, Kemp would have scored 40 points tonight.

It's just one thing that Kemp beat the big mom with the ball, and the second is that when he doesn't have the ball, the Hornets can't do anything about him.

Stockton's role is reflected here.

He discovered Kemp's matchup advantage, so he kept feeding Kemp as if there was some ulterior intersection between the two.

The best skills Kemp learned in his special training at Georgetown University were pick-and-roll openings and screen rolls.

Disassemble the shots that match him, and hit one shot.

Combined with his own judgment on the defensive formation, he can appear in the key position almost every time to inflict heavy damage on the Hornets.

The two cooperated inside and outside to become the winner of the game.

117 is better than 104
The Knicks beat the Hornets, who didn't make any mistakes, by 13 points.

"If I were a Charlotte fan, I would be desperate." Hubie Brown has a strong sense of substitution. "If our players don't perform well, we can hope that they will recover in the next game; if our coaching staff makes a wrong decision, we can also expect them to correct in the next game. But if we don't make any mistakes and the players play well, just because they are blown by the opponent at a certain point and lose the game, what should we do?"

The Hornets looked desperate. From their perspective, there seemed to be not many ways to break the game.

However, the coach of the Hornets, Allan Bristow, let us know that in life, in addition to the heroism of recognizing the essence of life and loving life, there is also a kind of reverse heroism.

When all the arrangements seem to be going nowhere, you need to move outside the box.

Before the crossing, the most exciting off-court move Louis had seen was when Sichuan fans played against Liaoning players offline during the finals. It was the first time in his life that he felt "Can you still play like this?"

This time, it was his opponent who resorted to off-field tricks, and his team was the victim.

Hornets coach Bristol blatantly stated: "No matter how many championships the Knicks win, they will not earn my respect."

The reporter asked cooperatively, "Why?"

"Because they grew up in the greatest country on earth and don't love it."

"Coach Bristol, why did you say that?"

Bristow swears and accused: "You can go back and watch the video. The Knicks' Mohamed Rauf disappeared during the national anthem. When the national anthem was over, he ran into the field quickly. This shows that he has been in the player tunnel. He just didn't want to participate in this sacred ceremony. Not only this one, but all the Knicks' games. country."

Disgusting as it was, Bristol hit the nail on the head.

He found the Knicks biggest weakness exposed.

Moreover, it created an irresistible whirlwind of public opinion, sweeping the country.
