After a trance, Tang Qian opened his eyes again. He returned to an independent single room. This room looked very period. Even if Tang Qian was an Oriental through and through, he could feel it clearly. He looked around, his expression
There is no longer the first surprise, just calm waiting for something.
Sure enough, not long after, someone started knocking on the door, saying: "Hey~ Big Beidou~ wake up? You have to leave. Today is the first game of the finals. Don't overdo the 'nightlife'!" Tang Qian calmly said
He stood up from the bed, then went to open the door and said: "It's you, Howl, I know, I won't mess around."
For this kind of thing, because he had experience with it once, Tang Qian dealt with it easily.
That's right, this is during the 1966-1967 Finals. According to the prompts of "Different Space", the "Demigod Descends to Earth" task enhancement task is started. The challenge goal is to help the 76ers win the championship. The number of challenges is three. If the task fails, the challenger will
Always stay in this "circulation space".
It was still the same old routine. Tang Qian was familiar with the road and knew it well. Then he followed the little black man in front of him out and went to the training hall.
Tang Qian's training content is mainly based on "customary rules". Many basketball details are different between this era and the 21st century. Therefore, Tang Qian needs to become familiar with it as soon as possible to avoid being constrained by the game and struggling. However, the basketball rules of this era
There are many things that are different from the early 1970s. For example, the defensive three seconds - yes, this season is the first time that the NBA officially started to use the defensive three seconds. Many players are extremely uncomfortable and unsuited to playing. But for
For Tang Qian, it was an unexpected surprise. He is more familiar with this routine than anyone else this season.
This is his chance.
However, the rules for alley-oops, serving and passing cannot exceed the height of the basket, etc. are far stricter and stricter than in the early 1970s. After Tang Qianqian subconsciously did these two during training, he was immediately criticized by head coach Alex Han.
Nahm roared and objected, and the latter said: "Wilt! What are you doing??? Do you think this is still a Harlem basketball team? Don't play this kind of aerial dunk!!! Don't play!!!
Do you understand? The Alliance will not allow you to do this!!!"
Although he said so, Alex Hannam was still quite shocked and shocked by No. 13's sudden offensive move. After all, in this era, few people would play like this, or do it like this, no?
He has no ability, but has never practiced or seen it, and the league prohibits it, so even if someone tries to be cool in training, his movements are stiff and mechanical, without the elegance, violence and smoothness of later generations.
In the professional leagues at that time, this kind of "flowery work" was considered to be something only amateur basketball did. For example, the famous Harlem Basketball Performance Team was one of them. Therefore, Alex Hannum thought that No. 13 was the number 13 at that time.
learned.
The teammates of the 76ers also felt that the visual impact was extremely strong. When Alex Hannam was away, they all asked "Tang Qian" to play a few more times and dunk a few more times to let them feast their eyes. See
No. 13's moves became more and more fancy and handsome. The 76ers' No. 2 player, Hall Greer, couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said: "Wilt, you were really born in the wrong era. With your behavior,
If the league doesn't ban this action, I guess the people who are willing to watch you play will be lined up from home to away. Oh, what a pity!"
"Tang Qian" was fine. He opened his mouth and said: "Hauer, the league will slowly improve, and basketball will slowly evolve. All the things you mentioned may become popular in the future and become commonplace. There is nothing surprising about it."
Howl Greer was slightly surprised and said: "Wilt, why do you say that? It's not your style to be so arrogant."
It's normal for Hall Greer to think so, because Chamberlain was the epitome of "personal invincibility" in the 1960s. The latter's self-confidence and even arrogance were well known throughout the United States. At least he had been teammates with Chamberlain for several years, and he was absolutely
I have never seen No. 13 speak like this.
"Does that need to be said?" "Labour, capital, and capital are invincible in any era!" "This kind of action is just childish. Labor, capital and capital have more handsome and more arrogant moves that they haven't used!" and similar words.
, should be what Hall Greer remembers Chamberlain saying.
"It's not something to belittle, it's just the fact." "Tang Qian" said after saying: "Practice hard, this year is our best chance, we must win the championship!" After saying this, Hall Greer seemed to
Feeling infected, he nodded and said: "Don't worry Wilt, we will help you get your first championship ring!"
Tang Qian nodded and continued practicing.
Before coming, Tang Qian did a lot of homework, such as the names of his teammates in the 1966-67 season, their basic information, their offensive habits and court strengths, etc. He went to the Internet to check everything before choosing.
He "travelled" over. Moreover, he also read a lot about his opponents carefully, hoping to "know yourself and the enemy."
Why was Tang Qian so hesitant to take up this task? Because if he failed, he would probably stay here forever and become a lonely ghost in the "circulation space". The risk was so great that he had to think carefully and make careful calculations. But
The Lakers are about to repeat history and repeat the fate of being swept. These are things that Tang Qian cannot accept. Especially the looseness and indifference of his teammates in the locker room makes the former furious. Therefore, in the end, he chose to accept this challenge.
, accepted this task and abandoned all hesitation and hesitation in an instant.
The 1966-67 season was another season at the peak of Chamberlain's ability. Not only did he win the third regular season MVP in his career, there was another major change, that is, he lost his position as the scoring champion that he had always monopolized. It can be seen that,
In order to win his first NBA championship, Wilt Chamberlain, who is over 30 years old, finally has a tendency to "awaken". Although it may only be "awakened" for one season, the facts prove that the "awakened" No. 13
, the overall improvement of the team is far crazier than people imagined.
First of all, the team's scoring points exploded collectively, which is one of the examples.
Last year, there were only 4 players who scored in double figures. What about this year? Suddenly there were 6 players, 2 players scored more than 20+ points, and 4 players scored more than 18+ points! When Chamberlain started not to be so obsessed with personal data this season
Finally, the effect is like magic, immediate and miraculous. Moreover, when they broke through in the Eastern Conference, they defeated their old enemy, the Boston Celtics, for the first time, blocking their opponent's 9th consecutive championship. This also made the 76ers' collective morale high.
A major event.
Now the entire league and basketball fans all over the world have no doubt that they will win this championship and even create a new "overlord dynasty". The regular season has 68 wins and 13 losses, breaking Boston's record of 62 wins and 18 losses.
Becoming the first team in NBA history to have a regular season winning rate of over 80%, this year's 76ers team is what everyone expected.
In the regular season, they averaged 125.2 points per game, ranking first in the league; they conceded 115.8 points per game, ranking third in the league; both offensive and defensive capabilities ranked among the top three in the league. This year's 76ers are worthy of being the strongest team selected for the NBA's 35th anniversary.
.Even surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers, the team where "Tang Qian" won the ring last time.
From this, it is evident.
But it is obvious that the current No. 13 is no longer the original No. 13. He has become a complete blue-collar player. At least Chamberlain's super firepower is no longer available to him. And the team opposite is Chamberlain's old team two years ago.
, San Francisco Warriors. Two years later, the scoring champion is still with this team, but the selection has changed from No. 13 to No. 24.
He is the new scoring champion and San Francisco's new darling, Rick Barry.
This season he averaged 35.6 points per game, successfully taking over Wilt Chamberlain's scoring scepter and becoming the new league's scoring king. In the second season of his career, he brought the team to the Finals, which is also a milestone.
It was a huge feat, so Rick Barry believed that he was going to defeat his opponent and become a god in one battle.
Rick Barry is not an ordinary person. Although he is of average height, he has incredible touch and his career free throw percentage exceeds 90%! With a white body, he has won the scoring title and averaged more than 30+ points per game in many seasons of his career. If
His hand was so bad that he couldn't survive in the professional basketball leagues of the 1960s and 1970s. So, Rick Barry was a miracle.
And now, "Tang Qian" has to face this historical strongman, a man who once averaged 40+ points per game in the finals.
And what a coincidence, it is this season, this round of the finals, Tang Qian will face Rick Barry at his peak.
A great man who, like Chamberlain, reached his peak as a rookie.
If "Tang Qian" is still the real "Peak Chamberlain", he will naturally have no fear of opponents, but the problem is that he is now far behind Chamberlain on both the offensive and defensive ends. He must find a way to win.
Only then can we win.
Regarding the overall planning, Tang Qian was different from the first time he "travelled". He had already thought about what to do and how to use these three precious opportunities before he came.
Take this first challenge opportunity, not to win the championship, but to get familiar with the opponent, understand the opponent's playing style and pattern, and then lay the foundation for subsequent success. This is also the valuable experience Tang Qian accumulated from the last "mission"
.
So the first challenge ended in failure.
The series score was 4-0, and the San Franciscoans swept the Phillies to win the championship, but there was no sign of discouragement on Tang Qian's face.
He was just analyzing and thinking about something in detail in his mind.
The main scoring points of the San Francisco 76ers: Rick Barry, Jeff Mullins, Jim King, Nate Thurmond, Tom Mecheri. This is the main scoring point of the 76ers in the playoffs this season
Composition, ranking in order. Second is scoring efficiency: Jim King ranks at the top, but his main offensive methods are fast break layups and open shots. His independent offensive ability is poor. As long as he is targeted, it is easy to return to the regular season and
The normal level of his career. The second is Tom Mecheri. This is... well, you may not expect that this is an Asian player (or mixed race) born in the Republic of China or Mongolia. He was the 7th overall pick in the first round of 1961.
He was selected by the Warriors and made an All-Star appearance. This season in the playoffs, he averaged 12.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.1%. However, he is not the first Asian player in the NBA, because he is the NBA's third
An Asian player belongs to Wataru Misaka, a Japanese-American player born in Utah, USA. He was selected by the Knicks in 1947, and... this guy actually entered the league before black people??? He is the first non-white player in NBA history.
???Have you made a mistake???Okay, back to the topic, Jim King’s style of play is relatively simple, attacking at the basket and secondary offense, but he also inherited the body of the Mongolian, with a body of nearly 220 pounds to cooperate with
With a height of 198cm, he was definitely considered strong for that era. You may not believe it, but his jersey No. 14 was retired by the Warriors and is still hanging in the Oracle Arena.
The third one is Jeff Mullins, who is a relatively famous early swingman in the NBA. He has averaged over 20 points per game in many seasons of his career. But now he is still young and a rookie. At his peak,
From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, he is now a rookie. He shoots well and has the ability to take shots from others. However, his current state is very unstable. He can score consecutive goals in a game and can also hit the ball continuously in a game. His shooting percentage is very good.
There is no guarantee.
The fourth one is Nate Thurmond. His shooting percentage in the playoffs is around 43%. In the 4 games of the finals, his scoring and efficiency have improved due to his defense, but not by much. His independent offensive ability
Poor, the basket is average, but the defense and rebounding are strong, and the jumping ability is strong, maybe not weaker than himself, or even better than him (Dashuai Zhang himself said that Thurmond has a higher touch than him, Xiao Zi can only believe it). Typical
The originator of blue-collar players, he is not very good at blocking shots, but he mainly focuses on interference and defending "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He is the best candidate, significantly ahead of Wilt Chamberlain. He limits the "Sky Hook" shooting rate to decline over the same period.
About 17%! You must know that Marshal Zhang can only suppress the "Sky Hook"'s hit rate by 10%, which shows how terrible it is. At his peak, he almost never suffered any losses on the defensive end in the paint. One-on-one in the low post, he may be
One of the strongest candidates in history. A fierce guy like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In his peak period, he didn't even score 40+ points against Thurmond. In 44 face-off games in his career, he scored more than 30+ points in only 8 games. This is
This is something that even Dashuai Zhang has never done! And even Dashuai Zhang himself has a hard time facing the former and has trouble scoring. Therefore, this inside player will be his opponent that he will remember the most!
Fifth, haha, fifth is the scoring leader Rick Barry. Why do you say that? His shooting percentage in the playoffs this season is just over 40%, only 40.3%. After four games, Tang Qian said
Summary: A player who relies on a large number of shots in exchange for points. Although the highest-level statistic on the basketball court is scoring, because you can win by scoring, the 40% shooting rate is really pitiful. The team's efficiency is fifth.
, likes strong shots and pull-up shots, taking 32.6 shots to score 34.7 points. In addition, his defensive attitude is insufficient, and he is suspected of staying offensive. So now, he is similar to Anthony. But his playoffs
The scoring efficiency is still higher than that of Anthony. Anthony is a data brusher and a cancer in singles. This should not be possible. Without any leadership performance to support it, it is not true. What is a data brusher?
Looking at it this way, the scoring efficiency of the San Francisco Warriors is really poor. They rely on a large number of defensive rotations and defensive fast break counterattacks to increase offensive rounds and exchange more shots for more points. The entire team's playoff shooting rate exceeds 46%.
There is only one, more than 48% of them don't have one, so Tang Qian calls this Warriors team the "poor or bankrupt version of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1971-72 season."
After all, he is quite familiar with and understands the opponent's tactics and style of play.
Why??? Because the opposite head coach, coincidentally, happened to be the head coach of the Lakers in the 1971-72 season, Bill Salman. But it can also be seen that this is the first of Bill Salman's coaching career.
season, so his use of tactics and the operation of the system are far less effective than when he was with the Lakers a few years later. There are still obvious shadows of the Green Army that copied players mechanically, and it is not as smooth and easy to operate as it was in the following years.
Tang Qian has played under the opponent in more than ten finals, so he absolutely understands this head coach's tactics and system.
This is also one of his advantages.
As for his teammates, in addition to Hall Greer, there is also Chet Walker, a veteran All-Star. He is also a relatively strong swingman who can score and rebound. He is nicknamed "The Jet"
, is good at "touching porcelain", um, good at causing defensive fouls, and then going to the free throw line to shoot free throws. So although he doesn't take many shots, he can still average 21+ points per game in the playoffs, and his true shooting percentage is not bad. What's interesting is,
This guy's retirement is quite legendary. Even when his demands for a big contract were to no avail, the Bulls refused to trade him and kept him cold. He was so angry that he sued the Bulls to court under the League's Antitrust Law.
However, unlike his predecessor Connie Hawkins, his situation was relatively unlucky. He eventually lost the lawsuit and angrily chose to retire due to frustration. In the year of retirement, he was able to stably average 19+5+2 per game and shoot as high as 48.7 from the field.
%! But even so, it is still a bit fanciful to want a contract with an annual salary of 200,000 US dollars. Chamberlain’s average salary in the late 1960s and early 1970s was only 250,000 US dollars a year. Even if the league salary has increased a bit now, it is still too much.
So the Bulls boss wanted to punish him for his "greed" and destroy his career as punishment. But in the end, this guy kept improving and actually changed his career to Hollywood and filmed several good movies, which can be regarded as beating the Bulls.
The team owner's face changed.
But he is not stable enough and cannot play independently enough in singles, so he can only become the third offensive point.
As for No. 24 Wally Jones, Tang Qian looks down on him a little. He is a hippie player with an afro. He comes to this league purely to make money because he can't find a better job outside. Playing performance
He has a strong desire, but unfortunately he does not have the corresponding strength to support him, which results in his shooting percentage being very poor. In his career, both in the regular season and the playoffs, he has been around 40%, and there was even a season where he posted a 26% shooting percentage.
Of course, it doesn't matter if the offense is poor, it's okay if he has defense. But the problem is that on the defensive end, he also has a good match but not a good match. When the mood comes, the state comes. The defense is good or even excellent. When the mood is bad and the state is not good, it is a withdrawal.
Like a machine, it is easy for opponents to treat it as a defensive vulnerability.
And he is the opponent facing Rick Barry in this series.
Luke Jackson on the bench can be considered a good transition point. He plays good defense and was once included in the Eastern Conference All-Star Game. Overall, his career has been nothing short of ordinary as a role player. He has no hand skills and is good at the basket.
It's quite rough. Basically, you don't have to count too much on offense. If you can score, it's good. As a center, his shooting percentage dropped below 40% in the playoffs this season, which is also strange. But his rebounding and defense are good, he works hard and is tough.
So he is a player that Alex Hannum likes more.
The key X factor is the last person. He is the second-year newcomer, Billy Cunningham, nicknamed Kangaroo Boy.
Don't look at his current data of 18+7. In fact, in the future, he will even win the MVP trophy and 5 times in the best team, which is also a strong compliment. In his strongest season, he can get 26+13+4 data.
He has a fierce playing style, is good at various offensive skills, and has mid-range shooting ability. The most important thing is that he has a brain and can analyze complex situations on the court. In the future, his coaching winning rate is 69.8%, infinitely close to 70%, and he has been to the finals three times and once
The honor of the championship is first-class. He won the championship trophy both as a player and as a coach, and he also won it for the 76ers, which is very historic. In short, the Philadelphia 76ers have two
All championships are related to him. He is also in Philadelphia and has a great reputation, even as great as Chamberlain.
The disadvantage is... this player is still a rookie, his mentality fluctuates greatly, and he is easily beaten and mentally disturbed by his opponents. Once he loses confidence in the game at night, he will completely collapse. This problem is not only present when he was young, but also during his peak period.
In the 1973-74 season, he averaged nearly 20+10+5 per game in the regular season. He was a solid star player and was the regular season MVP last year. However, in the playoffs, he suffered from injuries, a mental breakdown, and a breakdown in his relationship with the team.
Wait, he can only hand over 7+5+2 series data, and his shooting rate has dropped from 47% in the regular season to 29%!!! That’s right, 29%!!! The drop is close to 20%!!! So he is
If a player is motivated well, he will be an MVP-level figure. If he is not motivated well, he can easily become a "loophole", and he is good at both offense and defense.
After clarifying the basic information and playing habits of his opponents and teammates, Tang Qian was thoughtful and waited for the start of the second challenge opportunity.
PS: This chapter took too long because I had to go through the firewall to search for information. A lot of information about the NBA in that era was basically unavailable in China, so I’m sorry~ It’s just a big chapter~ You can relieve your craving for a little bit~ Then Xiaozi is here
By the way, this plot will end in a few chapters, because the basketball background of that era, Xiao Zi, who was introduced in detail last time, has been introduced in detail, so it won’t be procrastinating and there will be too many chapters~ But don’t look at the fact that there are not many chapters.
A lot of plot and essence are integrated into it, which will greatly promote the future~
The Asian player, let me explain a little bit, because he was born in 1938, when it was still the Republic of China, so Mongolia was still here, so no matter how you look at it, he should be Asian or quasi-Asian~
The last thing to say is, it will explode tomorrow, it will explode~~~Ten thousand words will explode~~~Let’s work hard together~~~
