The strength of both sides in the match is very even, and they are also equipped with two large players and one small player.
Livingston attacks with the ball. Although he is more than two meters tall, he is a point guard, so he was regarded as the "Second Generation Magician" early on. There are no two identical leaves in this world, and the same is true for him.
There are no two identical people.
Although Livingston and Magic have a lot in common, for example, they are both very selfless, do not care about their own data, always put their own shooting second, are willing to share opportunities with teammates, are proficient in various fake moves, and have
He has certain inside attack ability. He has excellent vision on the court and a very high basketball IQ. He can quickly judge the situation on the court. But the biggest difference between him and Magic is that he does not have the physical confrontation ability of Magic. Magic can always
He played center in the finals and was able to deliver an incredible score of 42 points and 15 rebounds. But Livingston was too far behind. He was too thin and too light. He was 2.02cm tall but only 84kg. Compare that.
Others, Ben Gordon, is 1.89 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms, and Luol Deng is 2.03 meters tall, weighing 100 kilograms.
Of course, being light also has its advantages. His speed and agility are very good, and his straight-line speed and dribbling speed are very fast. If you want to ask how fast, the well-known "Pluto" Harris has a Guinness record of 3.9 seconds dribbling.
In terms of propulsion speed records across the court, his rookie mid-side return run agility test score was 11.03 seconds, while Livingston's time was 10.72 seconds.
So as soon as Livingston got the ball, Ben Gordon followed him. As mentioned before, Livingston has great breakthroughs, is fast and accurate, and is quite threatening. But his shooting level is not very good, and his shooting skills are not good.
The desire is not strong either. Although Ben Gordon is a rookie, like Okafor, he also played in the NCAA for three years at UConn and has very rich experience. Moreover, the height difference between him and Livingston is too obvious, so
He simply put on a posture of guarding against breakthroughs but not against shots.
Livingston also knew that his shooting was not good, and now he had to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses in training camp, so he used his special skills to break through and pass the ball to Howard under the basket.
Before Howard could make any move after taking the ball, Swift was close to him. Swift was 2.13 meters tall. When he opened his arms, it was like spreading a piece of cloth over someone else's head. Most defenders would not be able to defend like him.
You can't even see the basket in front of you.
Howard was in a half-crouched position after catching the ball. Originally, his height was not as good as Swift's. Plus, he was almost as tall as an average person. He also couldn't see the basket. But Howard didn't need to see the basket, he knew the basket.
Approximately where it is.
I saw Howard squatting down a little, and then like a spring, he directly pulled onions on dry ground. Although Swift desperately pressed down with her arms, trying to push Howard down, it had no effect at all.
Howard dunked successfully. Although his jump was full of explosive power, his dunk was thunderous, and his body looked so huge, the sound of his body landing after dunking was very small.
Throughout the whole process, Swift could only look at Howard stupidly, from looking down to looking up to looking down again, like a toy robot.
After the change of serve, the other team's offense was even smoother. After Swift served, Okafor came up and set a pick-and-roll for Ben Gordon, blocking Livingston. Then Ben Gordon did not hesitate and succeeded in a jump shot after getting space.
After all, the two of them have been teammates for three years and work very well together.
Everyone played well, and Jefferson was naturally unwilling to be left alone. After changing the serve, he was extremely flexible when facing Okafor's defense. After a series of turns and shaking, he finally got rid of Okafor and succeeded in licking the basket.
Okafor quickly responded with a mid-range shot.
The scores of both sides increased alternately, making it difficult to separate.
Edison watched the six people fighting on the court and was filled with admiration. If there were no later memories, just looking at the current performance of these people, except for Swift, they are all future superstars. Although Howard's skills are still at a prehistoric level, regardless of offense,
Defense is still purely physical, but the talent is really great...
Okafor, on the other hand, showed a level of jump shooting that is rare among insiders in the league. However, this jump shot alone is enough for him to survive in the league. Moreover, his physical condition is also very good, with height and hardness. Unfortunately, he has a history of back injuries.
.
Al Jefferson's footwork is really good, but what's even more rare is that his body is also very strong. Now in the league, those who have pace do not have the body, and those who have the body do not have the pace. Someone like Jefferson can really do both.
It was rare, but it was a pity that it was delayed by injuries.
Ben Gordon is a typical shooting guard, proficient in breakthroughs, pull-up jumpers, and three-pointers. Edison knew that after entering the league, he, Jason Terry and Jr. Smith led the Sixth Man craze. When they felt hot
At that time, one person could make a three-pointer for your team, but he couldn't defend it at all. Don't even think about interrupting their state by fouling. They will tell you what 3+1 is. That period of time was like spring.
Brother's possession is absolutely unsolvable. Fortunately, this trick has a duration. You can use it by pausing or the like. Moreover, the cooldown time of the skill is very long. Generally speaking, it will not appear for the second time in a game. If it does,
Then wish yourself good luck.
Livingston has just analyzed it and is also a good player.
And these people also reflect one thing in common among the rookies in 2004.
In fact, now looking at the 2004 rookie class, the quality is very good. It is not as bad as people thought at the beginning. Although it is not as evil as 03, there is only one top star in Howard, but it has contributed many All-Stars.
player of.
There are many outstanding players in this rookie class. They all have one characteristic, that is, although they are not comprehensive and versatile, they all have a unique skill, and with this unique skill, they can get a contract with an annual salary of around 10 million. For example, Okafor's midfielder
Shooting, Ben Gordon's big heart, Harris' speed, Luol Deng and Iguodala's versatility, Tony Allen's defense, Martin's offense, etc.
In a word, if there was one top player in the league in 2003, then this year there will be a bunch of top second players and third players.
But there are only a few of them, and it's difficult to coexist. (Of course, when the Heat appeared later, people had to admire Pat Riley. He really played the game and used modifiers.) But the second brother
There are only a dozen heads, and relatively speaking, they can coexist in harmony. And Edison's current idea is to make a big splash in this draft.
The three-on-three game continued, and the six people were still sweating profusely, but Edison's attention had been diverted from them.
Aaron Nelson came to Edison with a bunch of information and said, "Paul, to be honest, the physical fitness of these boys is really good. The big guys are as strong as cattle, and the smaller players are as flexible as rabbits."
Edison looked through the body data table one by one, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. Then he pulled out the reports of a dozen people from the middle and said, "Wait a minute, let Carter focus on whether there are any hidden dangers in the health of these people. I don't want to do it in the future."
There are a lot of time bombs in the team."
"We don't need so many people. We have a few draft picks, which are too many."
"Not many, and I don't expect all of them to be selected by us. I am sure some of them will be selected by other teams. These are just the ones I like."
"Look, you know them very well."
"Haha, of course."
As he spoke, Edison suddenly looked at Nelson with a playful expression, while Nelson looked strange, "Is there something on my face?"
"No, actually I've always wanted to know how Colangelo persuaded you to join the Magic. If you can't tell me, forget it."
In fact, this problem has been bothering Edison for a long time. Nelson seemed very unhappy in the first few days after arriving, and he had the urge to retaliate against society at any time. So although Edison was very curious, everyone was unfamiliar with him, and Nelson was in this state.
I didn’t dare to ask. But as time went by, Nelson gradually relaxed, especially since the training camp started. With the increase in workload, Nelson no longer had so much time to worry and devoted himself to work.
After several contacts with Edison, there is no longer any barrier...
So today, Edison took advantage of Nelson's good mood and asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"It turns out to be this. It's actually very simple, but through my recent observations, I think it may not be applicable."
"Oh? What on earth did he say?"
"He told me, when you sign the contract, write that if Edison is dismissed, you can terminate the contract on your own. He said that according to the current situation of the Magic, you are all out of your mind, and the record next season will definitely be terrible.
, I guess you will be fired before Christmas, and I will return to Phoenix by then. I thought so at first, so you see, I didn’t even let my wife and children come to Orlando, but with recent contacts, I feel
Both Colangelo and I guessed wrong. Although your behavior is crazy and I can't understand it, you have always been calm, stable and calm, and you are not very excited mentally. Why are you so calm?
Be practical. In my opinion, there are only two possibilities. First, you came to the Magic deliberately to cause damage, so as long as it is damage, it is fine. But your love for the team can be seen by everyone, and you can do it for
How can someone who has sacrificed his life for the team maliciously sabotage it? Secondly, everything is within your expectation. You have a plan in mind, and you have a complete plan, and you are confident that this plan will work.
Success. Although I don’t know where your confidence comes from, but you are not an arrogant person, so I think the Magic may really allow you to perform miracles next season, and I am also happy to be a part of the miracle.
member."
"Hahaha, yes, you must be a member of the Miracle. Okay, you and Carter will take these young men away."
After Carter and Nelson left, Edison thought to himself, "A miracle, yes, my transformation from a Chinese to a white Edison is a miracle, a miracle that no one will believe, so the magic I lead will also become a miracle."
Miracle".
At this time, Howard followed Nelson and passed by Edison. Edison looked at Howard and said, "You are also a miracle. How could your mother give birth to a person like you? You are such an animal!"
