NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 149 Zen Master's Rainbow Flattery

Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Muresan to qualify for the All-Star starter.

The main reason is that in this era, there are many and strong center players, and blue-collar centers are too disadvantaged.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Western All-Star team began to enter.

Speaking of a game like the All-Star Game, the protagonist is definitely not the coach.

Davidson doesn't even have a chance to shine, and the player's grand entrance ceremony has nothing to do with the coach.

Not only Davidson, but also the Eastern Conference leader Zen Master Jackson.

Davidson is not very familiar with Zen Master, and the two have never played against each other this season.

"Wilson, you are making history this season. I have never seen such an outstanding young coach like you." Zen Master Jackson praised Davidson fiercely.

This kind of rainbow flattery, Davidson's ears are getting callused this year...

Basically, when playing against every team, the opponent's coach will say this sentence, and some coaches even say this before the game and then again after the game.

"Thank you, Mr. Jackson. Your Bulls are really making history this season. If there is no accident, you will definitely have a record of more than 70 wins this season." Davidson directly started the business exchange mode with Zen Master Jackson.

There are quite a few head coaches here in the Eastern Conference. Zen Master, Pat Riley, and Larry Brown are all veteran head coaches in the league, but Davidson doesn't have much affection for them...

It may be that these people are not in the same way as Dad, but have a completely different coaching style.

Just as the two were bragging about their business, the Western All-Stars began to enter.

The starting lineup consists of Olajuwon, Battelle, Battley, Drexler and Kidd.

When Battelle appeared on the stage, there was a burst of cheers from the audience, which shows that the popularity of Battelle, a newcomer, is really scary.

The next All-Star starters in the Eastern Conference, O'Neal, Hill, Pippen, Jordan and Penny.

Judging from the cheers of the fans at the scene, the popularity of the All-Stars in the East must be higher than that in the West.

……

"Boy, you are a good guy." Barkley came to Battelle's side on the Western All-Star bench.

Battelle frowned and glanced at Barkley, then turned his head and said nothing,
For some reason, Battelle always felt he was wary of other NBA players.

Not to mention the players of other teams, but the players of his own team, he has a better relationship with Muresan and Richmond, and may not have spoken to other teammates at all.

Davidson also heard Battelle being accosted by Barkley, so he couldn't help pricking up his ears and listening carefully.

Barkley is always trying to poach people's corners.

In the All-Star game last season, Richmond won the All-Star MVP. Barkley recruited Richmond after the game and wanted Richmond to join the Suns.

Looking at his posture this time, he probably started thinking about Battelle again.

Although both of them play the position of power forward, in fact, their positions do not overlap at all, and they can play at the same time.

Battelle is a power forward in name, but in fact he is not much different from a small forward or even a shooting guard.

Davidson pricked up his ears to hear what Barkley had to say.

He certainly wasn't worried that Battelle would actually recruit Barkley to the Suns, which was completely impossible.

……

"Last time you knocked that kid Mourning out. I enjoyed it so much. That kid is so annoying. Those two boys from 92 are not good birds!" Barkley said loudly while sitting next to Battelle.

Davidson laughed.

He knew why Barkley hated Mourning, because Mourning had elbowed Barkley before and almost passed out on the court.

The league knows that Malone's big elbow is powerful, but in fact Mourning's elbow is not much better.

Can make Barkley almost dizzy with an elbow, think about this strength.

Barkley himself is a man who is unforgiving, and he has been thinking about that incident...

"Hey, kid, talk to me."

"Why don't we fight that kid Mourning again tonight?" Barkley urged from the side.

This guy is obviously going to establish a revolutionary friendship with Battelle, paving the way for wooing Battelle into the team in the future.

You see, we have both carried guns together. With such a deep friendship, why don't we come and help my brother win a championship?
Hearing Barkley nagging in his ear all the time, Battelle became a little impatient.

"What do you want to do?" Battelle asked angrily, frowning.

The chattering fat man next to him made Battelle quite upset...

If the fat man is a teammate, then Bateer Renren is fine.

But the key now is that he is not familiar with this fat man at all, so how could Battelle give him any good looks.

Barkley was taken aback by Battelle's question.

For other young players to treat him with this attitude, Barkley has long vowed in his heart that he will teach him a lesson on the court.

But for Battelle, he couldn't think of such an idea at all.

Because the Suns played against the Kings before, Barkley was completely at a disadvantage in the frontal dialogue with Battelle in that game!

Barkley can't defend against Battelle's offensive end at all. He is better at defending against back shots, but he can't defend against shooting, let alone Battelle's posture that cannot be blocked at all.

The main reason is the short height...

It is not so easy for a height of 198 to prevent the shooting of a player with a height of 211.

In addition to being unable to guard Battelle, Barkley's offensive end was also blocked in front of Battelle.

The rule of the five-second post-up violation was introduced in 1999, which means that Barkley's best offensive move is actually to ask for the ball from a high position and then play back.

Barkley's high post play, in a nutshell, is to keep pressing his hip against the opponent, wave after wave of strength, until the opponent loses balance, and then he turns around and jumps. If he is close to the basket, he will turn around and dunk.

This is Barkley's strongest offensive method, but it doesn't work on some players.

One is O'Neill...

O'Neal's tonnage is too large and his strength is strong. In the match between Barkley and O'Neal, when he was completely immobile, O'Neal would be caught in a panic from time to time.

It's not just once or twice that two people fight...

Later, the super-large tonnage Muresan appeared, which also caused Barkley a headache.

It's just that Muresan's speed is not as good as O'Neal's, and blue-collar centers are more likely to stand under the basket, so there are not many opportunities for Barkley to match up with Muresan.

And then the large-tonnage Battelle appeared...

Battelle's tonnage is 132 kilograms. Looking at the league, only O'Neill and Muresan can be heavier than Battelle in terms of tonnage.

Coupled with the natural power, one can imagine how painful Barkley will be after encountering Battelle.

The point is that he still dare not treat Battelle like O'Neal.

In his first game in the league, Battelle directly put Mourning in the hospital for a month, which made Barkley and other old villains in the league dumbfounded.

They are also ruthless characters on the court who will fight at the slightest disagreement, but they have never seen such a ruthless person like Battelle.

It was too ruthless, so ruthless that Barkley and his gang did not dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, Battelle is not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble. This season is the first show at the beginning of the season, and he got into a fight with Mourning.

After such a long schedule, Battelle never had a conflict with anyone again.
