Forget about the Charlotte Hornets in the 1988-89 season, because this season is the first season for the Hornets to join the NBA, and all members are selected from the draft and expansion draft, so there is not much hope based on the historical background. The strongest
The first person is Kelly Tripka, followed by Rex Chapman. They are all transitional core figures in the transition period and cannot be expected to be big. As for Curry’s father Dell Curry, there is no way he can
As Tang Qian's sixth man choice, there is no shortage of "sharp shooters" in the main lineup. Tang Qian, the leader of the substitute lineup, hopes to be a "strongman" who can score independently and help the main lineup gain rest time.
Obviously, none of the three people above were what Tang Qian wanted.
After excluding the Hornets in the 1988-89 season, the only choices left for Tang Qian are the Toronto Raptors in the 2000-01 season and the Orlando Magic in the 2002-03 season. Both teams have Tang Qian.
There are some well-known "great gods". The first is Vince Carter of the Raptors. This guy is nicknamed "UFO" and is recognized as the best dunker in NBA history! Well, there is no one! Qiao Shen compares with him.
His dunks were a bit weaker! The 2000-01 season was considered the peak of his career. He averaged 27.6+5.5+3.9+1.5+1.1 all-around data per game and reached a 40% 3-point shooting percentage. He was also that
He is the strongest player in the "four major shooting positions" of the 2000s. After all, he can successfully transform later in his career. His stable three-point shooting is the foundation of the league on which he relies.
In this regard, Kobe, Iverson, and Tracy McGrady are all inferior to him.
But when it came to selecting potential players, Tang still hesitated to select him because there was a seemingly better scorer in Orlando next to him. He was Tracy McGrady, who everyone in China knew.
In the 02-03 season, my cousin Tracy McGrady is the new scoring champion in the NBA, and he is the 32+ scoring champion, which is full of gold. You know, this is still an era when Hand-g is not completely banned. It is difficult to average 32+ points per game.
Extremely high! So Tang Qian fell into "choice hesitation" and was in a bit of a dilemma.
If there was no Tracy McGrady, then he would definitely choose Carter without hesitation, but with Tracy McGrady...
After thinking for a while, Tang Qian chose Tracy McGrady of the Orlando Magic in the 2002-03 season.
Bonus points for being sentimental, but Tracy McGrady that year was indeed amazing, and there's no need to say that.
30+ efficiency is quite incredible! You must know that among the "four major points", no one except Tracy McGrady has reached it.
However, Tang Qian did not put McGrady into the starting position, because to a certain extent, McGrady is more suitable for playing singles and attacking difficulties by himself. Such a player is exactly what Tang Qian's team needs at the moment. You can just let go and attack without worrying about it.
What kind of coordination and system allows you to play, just one word, score!
Score with all your strength!
Just like what Manu Ginobili did for the Spurs, McGrady is on the bench at his peak. It is estimated that there is no opponent in the league. However, this situation is unlikely to happen in real life. The league scores
Wang, the highest-paid player (at that time), a super scorer from outside, you let him sit on the bench? Can the players be willing? Can the fans be willing? Can the management be willing? In fact, even a player of Ginobili's level, in reality,
If you want him to sit on the bench, it will take Popovich a lot of "talk" and "painstaking efforts". And how many Manu Ginobili do you think there are?
Therefore, this impossible thing has become Tang Qian's great expectation in this space.
It's even possible that the team will have to rely on him to turn things around.
This seems to be a way for Tang Qian to survive in the "different space".
If the main lineup can't compete, then there is still a substitute lineup. The worst is "Tian Ji's horse racing". The main lineup loses points and the substitutes fill the hole. As long as he can win, there is nothing embarrassing for Tang Qian. Anyway, there is no media in this space, so
There are no noisy busybodies, Tang Qian just needs to focus on winning.
So Tang Qian’s formation is: PG Kidd, SG Stephen Curry, SF Ray, Allen, PF Ben, Wallace, C Tang Qian. The sixth man is tentatively named Tracy McGrady, but the specific situation
, can be flexibly changed according to the situation on the field, and there is no need to be rigid. As for other temporary teammates: Terry Teague (82-83 season), Robert Hawkins (75-76 season), Vic Barto
After looking at it, I feel it's okay, but there are almost no inside players. This will be a huge test for my physical fitness.
He knows very well that if it is a normal game, he can maintain the game state and game efficiency for 32-34 minutes at most. Once it exceeds, his physical fitness will decline rapidly and his combat power will drop sharply. If it is a high-intensity game... then he may average 30 at most per game.
-32 minutes, any more physical energy will disintegrate and collapse directly. At present, physical energy factor is a big problem for Tang Qian, but if special status and ability cards are activated, it is a different matter. This is also
Why, the reason why he insists on keeping Ben Wallace is to prevent the team from being empty inside after he comes off the field, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Tang Qian felt that his team configuration was generally decent, so he touched the "calendar board" and began to select the final opponent for this layer.
Looking at the team icons on the "calendar board", the scrolling gradually slowed down, Lakers No. 29, and couldn't help but raise his throat slightly. To be honest, how he wished his opponent was the Minneapolis Lakers, but...it backfired.
.Finally, the cursor on the "calendar board" pointed to the Houston Rockets.
Houston Rockets???
This team is legendary, and it is also the championship with the worst regular season ranking in NBA history.
He fought hard all the way and finally successfully defended his title.
Huh? Wait? Why isn’t the specific season shown? It can’t be a random state, the strongest combination, right?
Damn it, is this the so-called difficulty of a defending team???
A player's personal strength fluctuates every season. Even if he is as strong as Jordan, it is impossible for him to win six championships at his peak state. Of course, the same is true for the Rockets. For example, Olajuwon, the core of the team's offense and defense,
He is a typical example. Looking at his personal status, it is obvious that he was the best in the 93-94 season, with double MVP + first team defense + DPOY. In five playoff statistics, he ranked first in the team! This level of domineering is simply terrifying! However,
In the 1994-95 season, he was in his strongest offensive form again, averaging 33+ points per game in the playoffs, second only to the 37.5 points he scored in the first round in 1988.
The larger the sample, the harder it is to maintain high scoring. So comprehensively considered, the 1994-95 season should be Hakeem Olajuwon's peak offensive form. If he is integrated into this, what's the point???
It’s really a “Super Saiyan”, isn’t it!!!
You must know that Olajuwon's 33+ points per game is different from Stoudemire's 37+ points in that series. First, his average per game data in the entire playoffs, I don't know if it is better than the latter's one-round explosion.
How many times more difficult. Secondly, he doesn't have a super point guard like Steve Nash with an offensive bonus. He can average 33+ per game, which is 100% his own strength, without any water.
This confrontation... Tang Qian really didn't have any confidence in his heart.
Will Stoudemire be carried away by his own instigation, will the religious Olajuwon do it?
He is the No. 5 position that even "Big Shark" O'Neal admits is the calmest, most comprehensive, and most similar to Transformers!
However, the opponent had already been chosen and there was no reason to retreat. Tang Qian began to guess the coin, but failed and lost the home field advantage.
The first game was held at the Compaq Center of the Houston Rockets. When Tang Qian faced Olajuwon, who was the leader of the four major centers in the 1990s, he inexplicably felt a contemptuous and domineering atmosphere. It felt like,
The 7-foot-tall man standing in front of him had no self at all in his eyes.
Yes, I just don’t have myself.
That is the aura that uniquely belongs to the king players. Their bodies are full of surging self-confidence.
No one can defeat me.
This is probably the unwavering belief that a player of this level has in his heart.
