Forward to the basket

The 90s was the golden age of center forwards. The existence of the four major center forwards, except for that buggy guy like Gangzhu Qiao, could not be shaken by anyone, and they were simply god-like dominance.

Although there were Kemp, Barkley, and Pippen in that era, when everyone knew that it was an era of insiders, they were the most amazing and talented big men.

It cannot be said that there is no one before, and it is impossible to predict that there will be no one in the future, but it is difficult to gather so many excellent insiders in any era. It was an era in which insiders ruled the world.

If it weren't for Joe Gang, a guy who is against the sky, it is estimated that the four major centers would definitely score all the championships in the 90s with one hand covering the sky like Chamberlain and Russell did in the era.

Even if Gang Leader Qiao can cover up other contemporary stars with his god-like brilliance, he will never be able to wipe out the brilliance of the four major centers. After all, those guys are also terrifyingly powerful.

It's just that with Joe's leader, the fate of other competitors is always very sad. No matter how fierce the big man is, he must bow to Joe's feet. Only Olajuwon and O'Neal have the champion's life.

When the legend of the four major centers went away, Olajuwon, Ewing, and Robinson all chose to retire, and even O'Neal's weight had begun to evolve from a great white shark to a humpback whale, the center began to feel lonely.

It's just like someone said, since the day basketball was born, it has been very partial to those tall guys. The legend of the center has gone far, and the era of power forwards has begun again.

Although Joe's leader made the guard start to emerge among the crowd by himself, except for his strange animal, it is still difficult for ordinary people to rule the three-second zone, let alone rule the basket.

The four major centers are about to die out, and the power forwards have begun to take over in a swarm. Nowitzki, Duncan, Garnett, and Webber, after the center, are four talented big men.

Just like the four major centers have their own strengths, the four power forwards also have their own unique skills.

Duncan's overall stability, Nowitzki's projection, Garnett's wildness and Webber's gorgeousness.

Gorgeous, probably the only word that can describe the original Kings team, a team that was able to defeat the OK combination after seven battles, and deserves the respect of others.

The beautiful Princeton offense shocked the entire league. It was said that defense can win the championship in the playoffs, but the madmen in Sacramento insisted on knocking on the door with offense.

Although they still failed in the end, when the Lakers won the seventh game, maybe even "Zen Master" Jackson had to applaud his opponent.

Similarly, only gorgeousness can describe Weber's technical characteristics. Although Weber has never had a championship life since the NCAA, this does not prevent him from becoming the most gorgeous insider in this league.

Some people have long said that Webber is the kind of talented player who can perfectly combine technology, speed, explosive power, and court vision, a standard all-around power forward template.

The technique is elegant and gorgeous, the movements are smooth and coherent, and none of the movements are superfluous, just like what Chen Feng feels now, he always has to lag behind Weber in his defensive movements.

What Chen Feng was facing now was an old guy who was almost 34 years old, but it was such an old guy who had entered the end of his career, but he felt an unprecedented difficulty, even a headache.

It's not like Chen Feng had never met a good insider before, like Rasheed Wallace or the Stoudemire who was beaten to the end by him, they are considered to be among the best insiders in the league.

Even if he ran into those two guys, Chen Feng had never struggled so hard before. Even when he was fighting against the opponent, he could still play at a super level, suppressing the opponent firmly in terms of momentum.

When encountering those two guys, Chen Feng did a good job no matter whether he was fighting with his shoulders or using his body to prevent the opponent from cutting inside.

But after meeting Weber's today, Chen Feng obviously felt that he had nowhere to use his strength, because Weber didn't have much physical contact with him at all, just floating around.

He usually moves in the empty area between the three-point line and the three-second zone, and often runs empty-handed, and then quickly catches the ball. Although the movement speed is not fast, it is very precise.

It seems that every step and every movement has been carefully calculated by him, and there is no need to adjust it at all.

When catching the ball, he either throws it or rushes, which makes it very difficult for Chen Feng to follow up the defense, because he is also a little uncertain about what his opponent will do next.

This kind of feeling is indeed a bit suffocating. Chen Feng has never come across such an experienced guy with such gorgeous technical moves since he came out of the street and went to the NBA.

Often by accident, Weber would have already slipped out of his control range, and then Chen Feng would have to watch the opponent make a shot, or set a high pick-and-roll screen for the opponent.

Even when Weber enters the paint, he seldom squeezes his opponent away and then slams the dunk like Chen Feng. He is more used to using flexible movements to create enough space for his shot, and then easily hits a mid-range shot.

It's not that Chen Feng has never encountered such an insider who is used to floating and playing, but if he dares to stick too tightly, Weber may shake him away with a dodge.

Then, it's either a layup with a low hand, or a mid-range shot with a step back, and there is even a possibility that this guy uses his dodge to make the ball for others and send an assist.

It wasn't the first time that Weber had done this. From the moment he came on the court, whether Chen Feng followed up closely or opened up a little distance, the opponent could always seize the opportunity to attack.

It has been almost 10 minutes since Chen Feng and Weber faced each other. Weber managed to score [-] points from Chen Feng's strong defense, made seven shots, made five hits, and made Chen Feng suffer two fouls.

Chen Feng also made a big splash in the 76ers' hinterland with his powerful impact ability. He scored [-] points and [-] rebounds, and also slapped Dalembert with a hat.

If Webber's offense is gorgeous and elegant, then Chen Feng's performance on the court is definitely a representative of violent style of play. Every time he rushes into the inside with that vicious force, it makes people tremble with fear.

Just like that, two guys with completely different styles have been fighting on the field for almost 10 minutes.

But compared with Weber, Chen Feng always felt that he was inferior to the opponent, and this awkward feeling of counterpoint made him frown, not like the usual yelling.

In the past, Chen Feng didn't have this kind of time on the court. He rarely let someone disturb his emotions.

"That kid is in trouble. I've never seen him have such an expression." Thibodeau watched the changes on the court and exchanged opinions with Rivers in a low voice.

"It's normal. Webber's personal ability has always been the top among the big men in the NBA. Except for Duncan and Garnett, I think it is difficult to find anyone who really stares at him."

Rivers also noticed Chen Feng's situation after meeting Webb, but he didn't intend to just replace Chen Feng, even if Chen Feng had already fouled twice.

"There's nothing wrong with letting that kid know about other types of opponents. He must know that this is the NBA, the best basketball league on the planet, and his opponents can't just be tough guys like Stoudemire. Webber is This is the best example, Chen Feng must learn to adapt to these."

Rivers had made a good plan to let Chen Feng and Weber wear it down. Even if they didn't get any advantage in the matchup, it would be good to give this kid a chance to practice.

Even if you can't handle your opponent, you can learn something from the failure. As for the result of the game, Rivers is not so worried at the moment.

Although Webber's scoring saved the team a little disadvantage, but overall, the 76ers without Iverson still can't shake the Celtics' lead.

Even if they narrowed the score to two points in the first quarter, with Chen Feng and Jefferson on the inside, even if they can't seal Webber, they can still control the offensive and defensive rebounds.

Although Webber's scoring ability is still very strong, he is almost retiring after all, and he really doesn't have an advantage in jumping ability. Even if there is Dalembert at the basket to help, the 76ers are still at a disadvantage in rebounding.

The rebounds are guaranteed, and Pierce is more confident when he leads Szczerbiak to fire from the outside. Iguodala and others alone can't stop Pierce from cutting in.

With less than two games, Pierce has scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 assists.

Iguodala, who was on offense and defense against him, only scored a poor 6 points, and there were two free throws in it.

In terms of offensive firepower, the 76ers are not at the same level as the Celtics, and Webber can be regarded as alone.

Even the shouts in the Wachovia Arena were much lowered. Many diehard Philadelphia fans held up signs in their hands without saying a word, and cursed Cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"We want AI! We want Allen!" Although this kind of voice did not fill the entire arena.

But Cheeks must have heard it very clearly, otherwise his face would not be so ugly, but the chief general whom he was about to abolish was not here at all.

It is estimated that Cheeks must be cursing non-stop in his mind now, why does his team have to have such a person who is independent of all rules!

"Chris, play more proactively!" Cheeks really couldn't find an outlet, so he could only keep waving his hands on the sidelines, signaling Webber to continue scoring points in the paint.

It is estimated that Cheeks is only such a player that can be relied on now. Under the strict marking of the Celtics, the other players cannot make effective counterattacks at all.

The second quarter is not over yet, but the point difference on the field has been widened to as much as 15 points. It is estimated that Cheeks needs another Webber to make up for this gap.

Weber's attack continued, as did the entanglement between him and Chen Feng, but anyone could see that the physical disadvantage would eventually wear down the only veteran the 76ers could rely on.

It's just that during the limited confrontation time, Chen Feng was still pondering every move of Weber. When he met such an opponent, he seemed to be able to understand a lot from such a confrontation.

Every veteran's final performance is a legacy left by God to the nba. When facing the most gorgeous and elegant Weber, Chen Feng is also experiencing the kind of killing intent that does not show his edge...

(The normal update will resume tomorrow. Today, I have almost recovered and can eat. I am so happy with millet porridge. This is the first meal in four days... My stomach has been wronged these days, woo woo woo... )
