Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

Today's old NBA fans always sigh: "Alas, the current NBA is not as good as it used to be, I don't know why these young people are still so enthusiastic, just look at the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s, everywhere. It's the sound of muscles, that's basketball for tough guys!"

Yes, since the new century, there have been such complaints every year.

Indeed, today's NBA is not as fierce as it was in the 1980s and 1990s.

But does this really mean that the NBA is not as good as it used to be? Not necessarily.

Young fans may be preached by these old fans, they will believe it, and they will follow the story.

And as long as fans have a little self-judgment, they will go to the videotape of that period and find out the difference.

After that, they will find that compared with the 1980s and 1990s, the biggest difference in the NBA is that there are fewer super centers.

Especially after the four major centers, there are only two centers that can dominate the era, Dayao and Warcraft Howard. Now, with Dayao's collapse due to injury, Warcraft's single tree is difficult to support, and the era of the center seems to be passing away... …

With the decline of the big center, those once "truths", such as "the one who has the insider wins the world", is also slowly shaking.

Is all this really just as some fans say, because there is no good big center in this era?

No, no, behind the commercial basketball, all the changes come from the rules!

Obviously, the emergence of the NoHandcheck rule is a wave of epic reinforcements for perimeter players!

This rule was introduced in the 04-05 season.

The so-called NoHandcheck means that the defensive player is not allowed to put his hand on the offensive player's body when defending. In previous NBA, this kind of defense is commonplace. But from this point on, such a defensive action will be called a foul. Of course, the Handcheck here is only allowed to put one's hand on the opponent's body to judge the direction of the breakthrough, and cannot push people with force. At any time, pushing someone on defense is a foul.

That is to say, from that time on, the score of the perimeter players in the league began to increase by a blowout!

Kobe Bryant averaged 36 points per game in a single season in that period, and Kobe Bryant who shocked the league with 81 points in a single game and McGrady with 13 points in 35 seconds also appeared in that era.

The most intuitive place, if you observe the top ten scoring list in recent years, you will find that there are very few inside players.

Probably only the shooting insider like Dirk Nowitzki, and the athletic insider like Stoudemire can still have a place.

Those traditional centers have long been abandoned by the times.

And the change of these rules is the biggest factor in the reduction of confrontation!

At the same time, the NBA has continued to improve the standard of foul penalty for many years, which is to encourage more offensive players in the penalty.

In the '80s and '90s, when Barkley was playing, the NBA used to encourage physical contact and tough defense, with a lot of physical contact without a foul.

But in today's NBA, many fouls are dubbed "body hair fouls" by fans. Slight physical contact in defense will be whistled by the referee. That's why many fans and former players think the NBA is "getting softer". With today's penalty scale, the Pistons' "Bad Boys" would have been sent off in less than half of the game.

So when fans see Kobe and Anthony on the court, they will feel very novel!

But this kind of intensity, in the 1980s, was simply commonplace.

However, Kobe just grabbed a spot with Anthony, and before the ball was in Anthony's hands, he was called a foul without the ball by the referee.

Of course, Kobe can understand this, after all, the new rules are there, so there is no debate.

Now, it's the Lakers' turn to attack!

When Kobe just passed the frontcourt, Anthony had a close defense on him.

This is not surprising to Kobe Bryant. In the previous playoffs with the Nuggets, such matchups were often staged.

Anthony also gave Kobe enough to confront him. Even if Kobe didn't have the ball in his hands, Anthony would not give in. The first thing he had to do was to stop him from catching the ball.

Fisher dribbled the ball over the frontcourt, and he was ready to pass the ball to Kobe.

But Kobe was fighting with Anthony at this time~||

Seeing this scene, Odom is ready to come over to Bryant to cover without the ball, so that the boss can smoothly receive the ball.

Kobe Bryant began to move, Anthony did not dare to "pull" too tightly, otherwise it would be easy to be called for a foul.

Just when Odom pawned Anthony, Kobe ran out of position, and Fisher wanted to pass the ball to him.

Bai Feng started suddenly, and quickly cut off the ball in Fisher's hand. He rushed out immediately, without slowing down, picked up the basketball and rushed to the opponent's basket!

Fisher was not good at speed, and because he was older than Bai Feng, he couldn't catch up with this young man at all.

Seeing that Bai Feng is about to complete the fast break, however, a yellow figure on the field is rushing fast!

It's Kobe!

The moment Fisher conceded the ball, he quickly returned to the defense and rushed to his own half!

His positivity is well known in the NBA.

Seeing this scene, Knicks fans couldn't help worrying about Bai Feng.

"Be careful, Bai Feng, Kobe is back on defense!"

Every Knicks fan almost blurted out, they were afraid that Bai Feng didn't notice and was covered.

But in fact, Bai Feng didn't panic at all, because all the on-court trends had already appeared in his [Field Sensing] in his consciousness. Even if he didn't have to look back, he knew that Kobe was chasing after him!

I have to say, the speed of the section is not really fast!

Of course, this is also the reason why Bai Feng's absolute speed is not top.

But if he is prepared, it is not a big problem.

As a result, Bai Feng took the plan and pretended not to notice Kobe's return to defense.

When the Lakers arrived at the basket, they slowed down a little and looked like they were going to dunk.

Kobe Bryant saw the location, took off directly, and fanned over because of the width.

However, he found out that Bai Feng was only feinting a shot. After he flew out, Bai Feng easily made a layup and scored 2 points.

"Ding, Stealing Pick: Excellent. Offensive Pick: Excellent. Gain: Solidity +5, USD +500."

The audience suddenly cheered.

"I'll go, alright Bai Feng, this fast break is really solid!"

"I thought he didn't see it, and was still worried about Bai Feng. I didn't expect him to realize it long ago."

"I'm a little curious, Bai Feng didn't even look back during the entire fast break, how did he know?"

"Bai Feng is from the Dragon Kingdom. Have you seen the martial arts films of the Dragon Kingdom? There is a skill called listening to sound and identifying positions..."

Yes, yes, watching Bai Feng's game is really as stable as an old dog... No, it is as stable as Mount Tai!

Today's Knicks fans have begun to feel the various benefits of Bai Feng!

It is true that Bai Feng rarely plays the kind of high-scoring explosive performance, nor does Nash's gorgeous offense that looks all over the court, but as long as Bai Feng is on the court, it is difficult for the Knicks to be defeated by the opponent.

The season data of 18.6 points + 8.3 assists is not low, not to mention that Bai Feng's data in the early season is not so good. In the last 16 consecutive victories, his average data is already at the level of 20+10!

This kind of data is lower than that of Steve Nash at his peak.

However, because Bai Feng played most of the time on the court was relatively unpretentious, so it didn't seem to stand out.

But now, as the Knicks are getting more and more popular, many media experts have begun to analyze Bai Feng. His assist-to-turnover ratio, average number of turnovers per game and on-court efficiency have been exposed.

At this time, the fans suddenly realized that Bai Feng seems to be the needle of the Knicks!

From this offensive and defensive conversion, it can be seen!

Anthony and Kobe were so angry that all the attention was on them, but Bai Feng seized the opportunity to steal the opponent to form a fast break, and cleverly avoided Kobe's pursuit and scored an easy layup.

The whole process is not strenuous, it can even be said to be "walking in the courtyard", such a steady performance, in the eyes of today's Knicks fans, compared to the neurotic gambling steals similar to JR, plus an exploding free throw line. Taking off and dunking is much more fragrant.

After all, they have seen a lot of the blasted field performance, and only winning is the most commendable for the fans!

Kobe Bryant has a little doubt, he thought the ball was solid!

After completing a defense, it can also improve morale.

He had no idea that the rookie of the Knicks would be able to evade his rapid defense without looking back.

Is he listening to voices?

Obviously not, how noisy the NBA arena is, you can only feel it when you are there.

Sometimes the communication between teammates has to be shouted, or even to the ear.

The sound produced by this rapid chasing is almost negligible, and it is impossible to feel it under normal circumstances.

So, how did Bai Feng judge it?

Kobe can't figure it out...

Of course, this doubt was only fleeting.

He is the number one player in the league. He has never seen any opponent. Maybe this kid is just a blind cat and a dead mouse. Maybe the ball is not steady for a while and needs to be adjusted. It is also possible.

For Kobe and the Lakers, the last offense was stolen and fast break was just a small episode.

Derek Fisher is a seasoned veteran, he may be negligent for a while, but he will never be negligent a second time.

The Lakers attacked. After Kobe and Anthony fought fiercely, they finally got the ball under the cover of their teammates, but Anthony's pressing defense came up again.

In a one-on-one fight, Kobe Bryant, who could not give in, decisively chose the singles, but he failed to hit the mid-range shot after the emergency stop after he swung out of position.

The Knicks attacked, and Anthony Rizhao was teased.

Bai Feng naturally knew that if a player like Anthony lost his temper on the court, he would definitely fight to the end.

Although giving the ball to Anthony with a temper at this time, as a point guard, it is not reasonable.

But as a teammate fighting side by side, and a "good brother", that is a must.

So Bai Feng didn't even think about it, and after Anthony got his position, he passed the ball to him.

After another fierce confrontation, Anthony's turnaround jumper, which was just a tiny bit short, was still a hit.

"Ding, pass selection: bad. Gain: robustness -1."

Sure enough, just as Bai Feng thought, this was an unreasonable pass.

But he didn't feel at all that it shouldn't be done.

The fans at the scene saw this scene and discussed it again.

"I'm going, Kobe and Anthony are completely on the hook, both of them can't hit, do they still want to play singles?"

"Top scorers directly

When the singles are played against Yi, and the defensive strength is still full, no one can take advantage of it.

"It's been a long time since I saw such a fierce competition!"

The fans were excited, but Kobe was the first to break the deadlock. Under Anthony's confrontational defense, Kobe finally finished third after failing to score twice in a row.

Next, hit the ball with his signature fallback shot!

After scoring, Kobe bent his arms, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth...

This is his usual celebratory gesture, and it can be seen that he is very excited to make this attack!

After all, in this one-on-one contest with Anthony, he was the one who broke the deadlock first.

Carmelo Anthony was naturally unconvinced. Looking back, he once again asked for the ball to play against Kobe Bryant, but the result was still iron.

Anthony, who didn't score, got a little emotional, turned around to defend, and was called for a foul by the referee because of the excessive movement of the strong position.

At this moment, Stoudemire immediately stepped forward to remind him: "Cameron, calm down, we still have the lead, but don't let your opponents hold you back!"

Anthony nodded, but the expression on his face was still very ugly.

Of course he understands the truth, but being compared in such a direct contest is unacceptable for a talented player like him who is arrogant and arrogant.

The Knicks still have the lead, but only by 1 point.

However, in the next round, Bai Feng hit another three-pointer to widen the difference.

In the following game, Bryant hit another ball, and Stoudemire hit a quasi buzzer mid-range before the end of the first half.

At the end of the first half, the Knicks at home led the Lakers by 4 points 66:62.

Lakers star Kobe Bryant broke out in the second quarter, scoring 24 points in a single quarter, plus 10 points in the first quarter, he scored a super personal 34 points in halftime (

Well done) performance!

Leading the Lakers to nearly wipe out their first-quarter deficit.

On the Knicks side, Bai Feng's data is also excellent. He scored 10 points in the second quarter, and he also scored 23 points and 6 assists in the half, while Stoudemire and Anthony scored respectively.

14 and 17 points.

The three scored 54 points together, almost 90% of the Knicks' score.

It stands to reason that the trio will play at the same time, and this kind of rare situation should attract much attention!

But Kobe's 34 points in the half was too eye-catching!

After halftime, almost all the discussion in the big forum was Kobe!

"I'm going, Kobe made a big show tonight, Anthony has defended him like that, and he can still score 34 points in the half!"

"Is Kobe going to break his own 81-point record? It's a bit drastic."

"It is said that Kobe has degenerated and his scoring ability is not as good as before. Now look at it, he must not be weaker than before.

For Carmelo Anthony, if the 17 points in the half are placed in other games, he must be very happy, after all, this data is quite a lot, and most of the time today [hand]

It doesn't feel great.

But now, instead of being happy, he is even very depressed.

Although he didn't face Kobe Bryant most of the time in the first half, the fight at the end of the second quarter made him feel competitive.

But the result was that his half-time score was only half of Kobe's, and that strong confrontation also seemed to be a small victory for Kobe.

In this way, his loss is understandable.

D'Antoni naturally saw it, and the first thing he did was to comfort Anthony and said: "Carmelon, don't be unhappy, we are still ahead of the score... This game is the most important.

The point is, we're going to win in the end, don't we?"

Although D'Antoni doesn't really care about winning or not winning, even if he loses this game, it won't affect his plans.

But he obviously couldn't say that. To encourage Anthony, this is the only way to punish him. .
