Accidentally dominated basketball

Chapter 159 Rose Doesn't Retire
In addition, Pippen said this in his previous life.

Pippen said: "James looks really good, so many people will be intimidated by the momentum on him, but in fact he has very big loopholes. I am not talking nonsense. I am watching carefully. I only said these remarks after watching the video of the game. I have studied some of his styles of play. If I was allowed to defend him, I could get an average of 10 steals per game."

Pippen's statement this time is still too much. You must know that Leonard, the strongest defensive striker in active service, has never said such a thing.Everyone knows Leonard's defense. His death entanglement can indeed affect James, but it has not reached the terrifying level of averaging 10 steals per game.

Moreover, Leonard is a superstar player of this era, and also one of the outstanding small forwards in history. His offensive stability and offensive diversity have allowed Leonard to break multiple records in the history of the Raptors this season. It can be said that Leonard De is currently one of the players who can match up with James without falling into a disadvantage.

However, the difference between Leonard and Pippen is that Leonard's position in the team is the leader, while Pippen is just a second-in-command.Without Jordan's help, Pippen may only be regarded as an outstanding small forward in history.But this is not over yet, Pippen has a second paragraph: "James' loophole is that he doesn't have a strong sense of protection for the ball, especially when he starts. This is a good time to cut it. If you keep If you defend him, you have to be on close defense all the time, and he will drop the ball by himself. When he faces a strong opponent, he generally does not choose a 1V1 duel, but uses pick-and-roll to avoid this from happening.”

The Celtics star Paul Pierce expressed his opinion on Pippen's statement: "Although what Pippen said has a little truth, James does drop the ball during the game, but dropping the ball is another matter." , Whether you can steal the ball is another matter. You can’t think that you can make good use of this loophole just because someone else has a loophole. Can you guarantee that you can steal the ball when he drops the ball? And James uses the pick-and-roll, It is also for unnecessary injuries, the duel between the strong and the strong will definitely have some injuries, this is not what we want to see."

The fact that Pippen is a big mouth doesn't stop there.

Except that Kobe is not too bad in his mouth, James and Curry have been said by him.

Curry was said to be even worse.

He once said: "Curry is a player who is far overrated. His body is a fatal flaw. His style of play limits him from becoming a dominant player. He is just a system player, not in the Warriors. The best player, let alone surpass James!"

At that time, as the head of the Warriors, Stephen Curry had led the team to the finals for the third consecutive year, and helped the team win the championship in the 2015 season, and even won two regular season MVPs in the past two seasons. It is estimated that only LeBron James can match such an achievement in the league.

Pippen believes that Durant is the most dominant player on both offensive and defensive ends of the Warriors, and after the Warriors have run-in in the regular season this season, Curry has become accustomed to handing over the ball to Durant at critical moments. Curry does not have the ability to break double-teams, Curry is not threatening on the defensive end, and Durant is more dominant in this regard. If the final selection will win the finals MVP, Pippen believes that if the Warriors win, they will be Durant. rand.

Pippen's words seem to make sense. Curry's figure is indeed not as good as Durant and James, but it does not mean that Curry has lost his dominance. On the contrary, the most important member of the Warriors is Curry, because he is not only The engine of the Warriors system, his outside line surpasses three-pointers, breaks through points, and breaks through layups, which can effectively tear apart the opponent's defense, and at the same time create offensive space for teammates. No player in this world is perfect, just like James. Passing the ball all the time is also criticized by the world. Curry said that he doesn't care what the outside world thinks of him, and he doesn't need any awards to affirm him. He led the Warriors to the best record is the best proof.

And what about Shen Feng?

What Pippen said is even more reasonable.

81 points are just floating clouds. If he defends Shen Feng, it is estimated that Shen Feng will not even get 8 points.

"That kind of flashy attack with the ball, and the goal that is all due to luck, in your mouth, what a talent, what a promising future, in my opinion, Shen Feng is blown up by you people Yeah, actually, he's useless," Pippen said.

When he said this, it naturally sparked discussion.

how to say.

As the hottest rookie at the moment, and in such a special period as the All-Star Game, Pippen's remarks actually triggered a very big discussion in Ben.

But anyone who came to participate in this year's All-Star, no matter if they were rookies, individual players or players in the main game, as long as they were caught by reporters, they would definitely be asked this question.

Even those fans who came to watch the game and some stars in other fields were asked this question.

With so many people talking, everyone must have their own preferences and opinions.

There are those who support this view and those who oppose it.

For Shen Feng, there was nothing to say.

Judging this thing is not Pippen's final say.

At best, everyone is just arguing.

Dallas has prepared a lot for this All-Star Weekend. Food, games, and various NBA peripherals are like a basketball carnival.

Many basketball fans from all over the world have gathered in Dallas. Although the All-Star Game has more performances, for basketball fans, the All-Star Game is indeed a grand event.

Shen Feng met Curry when he checked into the hotel. The elementary school student was in a good mood. After Shen Feng scored 81 points, Curry specially called Shen Feng to celebrate.

This 81 points is not a small number, it is a lot of points.

Curry wanted to be envious, but also sour.

"Hi! Shen!" Harden and DeRozan were in a good mood, and the three of them were dressed very casually. They were different from Shen Feng. The star game, but for Harden and others, the rookie challenge is also an opportunity to show themselves in front of the fans.

Shen Feng and the three of them bumped their chests one by one and shook hands.

"Shen, do you have any good suggestions? About the Rookie Challenge." Curry looked up at Shen Feng. Shen Feng knew that these guys wanted to counterattack in the Rookie Challenge. After all, the first grade won the second grade is good news.

As soon as Curry reminded, Shen Feng felt that the Rookie Challenge could be played seriously. If he remembered correctly, Rose should have withdrawn from the Rookie Challenge, so the second-year lineup would be even weaker.

Without Rose, the offensive speed of the second grade will be much slower, and I have myself, Curry, Harden, DeRozan and others on my side, maybe this time I can really educate the second grade.

"You all think so?" Shen Feng looked up, and saw that the other three people had bright eyes, eyes that wanted to make trouble, Shen Feng understood.

They're all BOYs, or young people, who doesn't want to win?
No one wants to win, and Shen Feng also wants to win.

What's more, on this occasion?

He didn't intend to make trouble in the rookie competition, but since his teammates are so enthusiastic, as the captain, he is enthusiastic even if he is not enthusiastic.

Indeed, for a player like him participating in the All-Star Game, participating in the rookie game always feels a bit bullying.

But now, sorry guys, I really didn't mean to, I was pushed guys.

Shen Feng, who was going to paddle, didn't plan to paddle this time. Everyone wanted to win so much, so it was a bit embarrassing for him to paddle.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Shen Feng raised his eyebrows.

"Fuck him! What else can you do!" Harden said with a smile on his face, "Shen, I don't believe you are a good boy."

"Of course I'm not a good boy, but I don't think this competition is interesting at first, but it's quite interesting after hearing what you said." Shen Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Come on, guys, this year we're going to flip the opposite side!"

Since the Rookie Challenge in 2000 became a duel between rookies and sophomores, this event has become a stage for sophomores to teach rookies. Sophomores have won seven consecutive victories, and their total record is 8 wins 2 negative dominant.On Phoenix's All-Star Weekend, Kevin Durant's brave performance educated the rookies like Derrick Rose and Mayo. Rookies.Because Rose wants to participate in the All-Star Game and other events, he applied to the league to miss the rookie game, and Morrow of the Golden State Warriors replaced him. This will give Mayo and Russell Westbrook more opportunities to perform.

Although Rose's absence has weakened the overall strength of the sophomores, they have strong players inside and outside the lineup. Mayo and Westbrook will take on the responsibility of controlling the team's offense. Pace, Marc Gasol, and Kevin Love are in the lineup, and there are attack points like Beasley and Danilo Gallinari in the mid-to-long range. They will use a more balanced offensive and defensive performance to hit the victory.

Compared with the rookie team, the interior will be the biggest advantage of the sophomores.Compared with rookie insiders such as Taki Gibson and DeJuan Blair, Lopez, Gasol and Love are all inside players who have proven themselves in the NBA. In addition, Beasley, a second-year player With the strength to completely dominate the three-second zone, they should be more determined to implement the ball to the inside in tomorrow's game, and then combine the inside and outside, which will give them a greater chance of winning.

When Rose is absent, Westbrook, Mayo and Beasley have to take on more leadership responsibilities. They will definitely seize the opportunity to show their leadership on the court. magic weapon.For the sophomores, the absence of Rose has greatly increased the hopes of others hitting the MVP. I believe that Mayo, Beasley and Lopez will not give up such opportunities.

On February 2, the NBA All-Star Weekend officially started.

The first day is not a big deal, the main thing is to give everyone time to concentrate and get acquainted. On the second day, everyone began to meet with media reporters one after another.

In the afternoon, there will be an open training session for the All-Star Rookie Game.

The so-called public training refers to the training that media reporters openly shoot and interview.

"Yes, they are all great guys. It is difficult for you to find out the difference between them. They each have their own strengths. I believe they can definitely contribute a very exciting performance!"

The head coach of the rookie game usually puts on a name, but actually doesn't arrange any tactics, it all depends on the players' own luck
For players participating in the All-Star Game, there will also be a separate interview session.

In a big room, each player has a table, and there will be many reporters around the table asking various questions.

As one of them, Shen Feng is definitely going to be interviewed, and there are a lot of reporters around him.

"Shen, how do you feel about participating in the All-Star Game for the first time?"

"Very happy, or very happy. I have met many, many friends, and there are many friends like you. They are very good to me."

"This time, we are participating in the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Game again. Do you feel any pressure?"

"There must be pressure, but this is my first All-Star game after all. I still enjoy this process very much. I really enjoy this process. I am very happy to participate in such a game."

"Shen, I heard that Derrick Rose was going to retire this time, but it seems that he won't retire now?"

"Huh? Really? Derrick Rose isn't retiring? He's going to participate in the Rookie Challenge?"

"It's true. The league officials have announced this news. As far as I know, Rose said that he was afraid that the second-year team would really overturn after he left, so he temporarily changed his decision and decided to participate in the rookie challenge for this game. .”

"That's amazing."

Rose did not come to participate in this Rookie Challenge because of any injury, mainly because he was selected for the All-Star Game and the Rookie Challenge list respectively, and as the defending champion of last year's Skills Challenge, Rose will be in this year's All three events at All-Star Weekend.

Playing three games in three days, the intensity is just too high.

But now, Ross has given up!

Rose is going to play the Rookie Challenge!
He wants to play this game!
I don't want to give up on this duel with Shen Feng!

After all, in the main match, the two were on the same team, and Rose was Shen Feng's substitute, so Rose was already upset about it.

I'm a second-year player, and I'm still the No. [-] pick. How come you, a first-year rookie, climbed on top of me?

Can't stand it!
This is absolutely unbearable!

You have to kill Shen Feng in the rookie competition to prove yourself!
