Chapter 645: The Chicago Bulls Are Too Late To Make Up For More~
Because he passed through a dangerous level and did not complete the sweep, Tang Qian only got 2 gold ability card fragments at this level.
After taking away the special cards on this level, Tang Qian entered the penultimate level.
"There are three remaining challenges on this level. Defeat the opponent within three opportunities..."
Tang Qian had already guessed the general situation. This "calendar board" helped him select his opponents, and there were actually traces to follow.
For example, random division champions, random championships, and random consecutive championships, so this layer should be...random dynasty teams, right? Tang Qian walked to the "calendar board" on this layer and looked down.
Sure enough, it neatly says: This level challenges a random dynasty champion team in NBA history. There will be 7 games. The rules of the game are based on the time and space rules of the challenger. The challenger has 6 rights to choose teammates.
After reaching this point, Tang Qian was also very familiar with this set, so after retaining the original five people, he also selected a peak Dikembe Muttom based on the team provided by the "calendar board"
Bo. As for why he didn't choose Grant Hill in the 1996-97 season or Paul Pierce in the 01-02 season, Tang Qian's reason is simple. This sixth selection is not to strengthen the main lineup, but to strengthen the main lineup.
It is to strengthen the substitute lineup. Although the above two people are powerful and have strong scoring ability, it is enough to have the scoring champion Tracy McGrady in the substitute lineup. No matter how much there is, there will be no ball for them to play with. It is better to choose a reliable center inside.
In this way, he can also help support him when he is not present.
At his peak, Mutombo was no weakling. He studied under Bill Russell (this is true and there is video to prove it). The peak of his career was in the mid-to-late 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century. He had 4 DOPY trophies.
, 2 times rebounding champion, 3 times block champion, 8 times All-Star, 6 times All-Defensive Team, 3 times All-NBA Team. You have to know what era it was in the 1990s. It was an era when there were so many high-quality insiders in the league. The four major
The center almost controls all the selections for the No. 5 position. The four of them alone are not enough to win these awards. Mutombo can come out of nowhere and win so many honors, which is already quite impressive.
When he was at his peak as his substitute, Tang Qian felt that he should be able to take over for a period of time without any problem, so that once he left, Ben Wallace would have to grit his teeth and hold on. Just kidding, even if Tang Qian was not there, then at the peak of his career, Wallace and
Is Mutombo at his peak a defensive interior combination with 8 DPOYs? Since the selection of this award, when has such a perverted defensive interior combination appeared in the league?
In this special place and time, Tang Qian turned them into reality.
Coupled with No. 29 himself, this is enough to ensure that Tang Qian's team will be an "inside hell" anytime and anywhere. If they want to attack the basket at close range, they have to shed a layer of skin.
Temporary teammates are: Larry Smith (84-85 season), Tyson Chandler (11-12 season), Trevor Ariza (08-09 season), Bobby Brown (16-17 season)
season), Ray Bloom (81-82 season). The latter two are purely "water coolers" with terrible career statistics, but the first three are still pretty random. For example, Chandler, he is 11-12
This season's DPOY, even if it's a bit watered down, is actually the best defensive player of the season, isn't it? Ariza, not to mention, is a strong perimeter defender. The wing arrow he formed with Kobe back then caused countless perimeter players to have offensive injuries.
Got the brain.
Coupled with Larry Smith, the defensive depth and defensive intensity of this lineup are almost the most powerful team Tang Qian has ever seen. However, this also illustrates what the next opponent will be.
How difficult to deal with.
There are actually fewer dynasty teams than defending teams. Tang Qian can count them on his fingers. There are only three teams, the Boston dynasty, the Bulls dynasty, and the Lakers dynasty. The weakest one is of course the first dynasty of the Lakers.
If this happens, Tang Qian is confident that he will sweep his opponents within 4 games.
However, it turned out that he thought too much.
The last place where the cursor stopped was... the Chicago Bulls.
Again, like the Rockets in the last round, there is no specific season, which means they will all choose the strongest competitive state within the dynasty. This is scary just thinking about it.
Needless to say, Michael Jordan, the God of Basketball, was in the strongest physical condition during the first three consecutive championships, and the strongest mentally during the latter three consecutive championships. If both were to choose the strongest competitive state within the dynasty...then there would probably be a comparison.
The reality is even more terrifying when it comes out on the 23rd.
There is no comparison at this point. It will definitely be completely destroyed. It depends on how it is exploded.
Generally speaking, if the number 23 is suppressed by less than 30 points, it is considered a success.
Needless to say, Pi Er Ye, all selected the peak state during the dynasty period, which is also a proper one-team defense. In the season when Jordan was away, he was also elected third in the league MVP voting. The combination of offense and defense is nothing to say, but
It's just not as exaggerated as Jordan. In this way, using the game rules of the Bulls era, Tang Qian can say that his perimeter is basically useless. The Bulls' perimeter back then was integrated with offense and defense, and was invincible. There was never a team with a perimeter
You can win if you work hard.
Even among all the perimeter duos in NBA history, none can be as powerful as this pair.
6 championships in 8 years, 2 three consecutive championships. In 2 of the seasons, one season was spent by Jordan playing baseball, and the other season just came back, so his physical condition and competitive state were not at their peak. This kind of cooperation, this kind of honor, you
Have to accept it.
After deducting these two people, they also have "Cobra" Grant inside, who is also a defensive hero. The inside hero of the Bulls' first three consecutive games was equivalent to Rodman's role later. He was selected as an All-Star and four-time MVP in his career.
The best defensive lineup. However, the Bulls' interior has always been shortcomings. Whether it is the aging Bill Cartwright or Luke Longley, they are the most ordinary starting interiors. There is nothing that requires special attention. So just
Just pay attention to the Bulls' outside perimeter. Well, after all, they still have Cole and Kukoc on the bench. This cannot be underestimated, otherwise the two of them will get angry and the three-pointers will be very deadly.
So we can formulate a strategy to attack the inside... Huh? Wait??? No, I got it wrong!!! Since I am selecting players from the entire dynasty era, my "teacher", "Flower Bug" Dennis, is definitely indispensable.
Rodman's. Rodman naturally couldn't be teammates with Grant in the original space, but here... it's not impossible to refer to the Rockets.
If the Bulls' inside line becomes Rodman + Grant + Longley or Cartwright, that won't be good!
It's like making up for the Bulls' interior shortcomings all at once!
Damn it! Even my own rebounding is probably subject to huge restrictions!
The coin guess failed, and the Tang Qian team lost the home field advantage, and the first game will be held at the United Center in Chicago.
Walking into this familiar venue and looking at this group of arrogant "big guys", Tang Qian felt a little suppressed by the momentum.
And unlike Olajuwon, this is not aimed at him, and it can't even be released outside. It seems that just standing there and chewing gum can put huge psychological pressure on the opponent. Of course, the main source of pressure is
For that fiery red No. 23, Michael Jordan.
The first game is just a test of the waters, because it is impossible to win against a dynasty team like this in one go. If you can avoid being beaten, that would be good. People can create a dynasty and rule an era with team chemistry and team chemistry.
The reaction is probably going to be incredible. Even if I add Jerry Sloan to my side and the overall tacit understanding improves a lot, it's still a big difference.
After all, the Chicago Bulls are recognized as the team most likely to tie Boston for eight consecutive championships in NBA history. If Jordan does not retire and play baseball, it is not impossible to maintain his peak condition and peak strength. And in terms of overall competition, it is not impossible.
Obviously, the Bulls' two three consecutive championships are more difficult.
Furthermore, the "different space" also combines all the strongest states of their dynasty. Can you imagine that the former Jordan who won three consecutive championships has the ultimate shooting skills of the latter three consecutive championship Jordan? This is crazy.
What's the difference? There's a whole team as soon as it starts!
In the first game, Tang Qian's team entered "garbage time" in only half a half, and ended in a disastrous defeat by 25 points.
Why did the Bulls not exert much effort and Tang Qian's team lost so miserably? In addition to the above factors, the "failure" of the Lakers' No. 29 rebound was also a major factor. In the first five floors, Tang Qian no matter what he faced
Everyone, he at least has an absolute advantage in rebounding, but after facing Rodman at this level, his advantage suddenly evaporated.
Although Rodman of the Bulls no longer has the rebounding ability of 18+ or close to 19+ in his peak period, but judging from the strongest state during the dynasty, he still has the rebounding ability of 16+. Tang Qian is now theoretically capable
Even with his ability of 17+ rebounds, he didn't have much advantage against Rodman. Even in the first game, Tang Qian was still at a disadvantage.
Why? Shouldn't 17+ be greater than 16+? The main reason is that all Tang Qian's rebounding skills come from Rodman's teaching and polishing. In this way, in a head-to-head confrontation between the two, the one with more experience and skills will be more mature."
The "flower bug" has the upper hand.
Losing the advantage of rebounding was no less than a heavy blow to the Tang Qian team. In addition, the outside was blocked by Jordan and Pippen. For a while, the offense was weak and the iron was frequently struck.
In the second game, Tracy McGrady broke out in the Tang Qian team, but after being spotted by "Zen Master" Jackson, he immediately sent Pippen to guard him. Under the guard of peak Pippen, McGrady's firepower was immediately suppressed, and then the Tang Qian team regretfully lost.
.
In the third game, Tang Qian finally got used to it a little bit, and he and Rodman were evenly matched in rebounding. However, this was still not enough for Tang Qian's team, far from enough. In the end, 88-106, the Bulls won the game.
In the fourth game, the Bulls made more progress, going 29-2, taking the game away, and the first opportunity to challenge ended.
Tang Qian was extremely shocked to be defeated in four rounds easily.
I thought I still had a chance to fight, but I didn't expect it to end with nothing. The two outside shooters who had high hopes were also blocked. Ray Allen only scored 11 points. What about Curry? Even worse, he was beaten by Jordan himself.
He only scored a pitiful 6 points and shot less than 30% from the field. This is also a hardship for Stephen Curry. If he were on that Warriors team and without the Hand-g rule, he would definitely not be able to produce such data.
Come on. Even if you are facing peak Jordan, it is the same. Unfortunately, the latter is too restrictive for a player with a thin body like Curry. Jordan is the perfect executor of Hand-g defense, from beginning to end.
"Savage entanglement", Curry almost fell down.
Especially this one in Hand-g is a devastating blow to Curry. Both offensive players and defensive players can invade the opponent's occupied position. In other words, the cylinder rule basically does not apply. Curry
His body is much inferior to that of Michael Jordan, so when it comes to invading the opponent's occupied position, whether he is attacking or defending, he is completely defeated, and he can't take any advantage. Not to mention that he can grab, slap, and straight-arm him.
Waiting for the defense to interfere with the offensive players, no matter how you look at it, it will be of great benefit to the players who are out of shape.
So if you don't have a body, then you definitely can't take advantage of Hand-g.
This is why before Hand-g was cancelled, it was impossible for players with "weak" bodies to become superstars. Because the Hand-g rule does too much harm to the physically weak. Curry happens to be the latter.
He has no physical advantages in the last ten years of the 21st century, so he still wants to fight with Jordan? The miserable results are obvious.
Unless you take the No. 1 position route of organizing the team, it is still possible. Otherwise, if the offensive No. 1 position does not have a strong body as a guarantee, with the popularity of Hand-g, Curry is Yin Jian at this moment.
It's not that Curry isn't strong, it's just that the rules of this era are completely unsuitable for him to survive.
Moreover, the person staring at him in this series is the famous Michael Jordan.
It's not unreasonable for the Chicago Bulls to dominate the league in the 1990s.
Moreover, this Bulls team is a specially enhanced version of the "different space", which makes the fight even more difficult and terrifying.
Tang Qian thought for a long time and found that it was more difficult than dealing with the fifth-level Rockets. Even after the two outside scorers were eliminated, he basically had no hope of victory. No joke, there are no outside shooters.
Strong support, just rely on this team's inside scoring? What is that if not a fantasy? Even if Tang Qian can score ten or twenty points without the ball with Kidd feeding him, Ben Wallace
What about Mutombo? How many points can they score? They can't kill anyone at all!
Unless Tang Qian is now Olajuwon at his peak, that's about the same. Otherwise, relying on him alone to support scoring is completely unrealistic.
After being puzzled, the second challenge began. Tang Qian indeed received the weakening benefit of "different space", and this weakening benefit is... Starting from the second round, Hand-g is completely banned, but Bull
Teams will also adapt to the hand-g-less game rules by default.
Tang Qian didn't pay attention to the back. It was mainly the front that made him finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Without Hand-g, Curry can finally "unblock" it, right?
Ray Allen is different from Curry. In his peak period, Ray Allen was a very physically fit man, and his weight was much larger than Curry, so even if he plays Hand-G, he will not be weakened too much all at once.
More. Well, actually, if you look at it this way, if the opponent is not the Chicago Bulls, then Curry can also display certain skills. This is absolutely no problem.
It's a pity that their opponents now are Jordan and Pippen. The two most defensive perimeters and wings in the 1990s were forcibly controlled and restricted. It's not surprising. To be clear, Hand-g is not a
It was cut in half by the league as soon as it was born. It was "cut in half" by the league several times from its birth to its demise. The last time it was "cut in half" was in the 99-00 season, which was also a season that benefited Ray Allen. The fourth-year Bucks
Team No. 34 Ray Allen suddenly "jumped" from averaging 17+ points per game in the third grade to 22+ points per game in the 1999-00 season. His ability to average 5 points per game has grown from a top second-rate player.
He has progressed to the level of a quasi-first-class scorer. The span is so large that it is shocking.
So there is no need to explain more. Every time Hand-g is weakened, it will have a positive effect on improving the attack of ordinary stars. Especially for some stars with average physical fitness or relatively single offensive ability, the improvement is particularly large. On the contrary, for McGrady
, for scorers of the level of Kobe and Iverson or above, it is of little use. Some people say that Jordan can average 50+ points per game in the modern era. This is impossible and will have an improvement effect, but for super
For scorers, the improvement effect is far less obvious than for ordinary scorers.
Super scorers who can average 30+ points per game, except for Curry, are basically an offensive kaleidoscope that combines sudden shots. Even LeBron James, who has always been a "tank" in the impression, is actually super skilled.
players. So they should be able to survive under any rules. After all, the physical fitness is there, there is nothing that they cannot adapt to.
Among the top ten, top twenty, and top thirty in history, how many are as "weak" as Curry? Are you talking about Larry Bird? No, no, no, have you really watched Bird's video?
?His confrontational nature and physical fitness are definitely not bad. I have never heard of Bird suffering any losses in confrontation at the small forward position. His confrontational nature is far stronger than everyone thinks. Even if he has always felt that it is not good
Bouncing, Bird is also the top choice among white people. It is not uncommon to turn over and pull the bar, and dunk every other person. Of course, Bird's strongest physical attribute is his strength. When he entered the league as a rookie, he weighed about 220 pounds. At his peak,
At least between 230 and 240 pounds, so if you watch many interview videos of old players, the most talked about is Bird's physical strength, high confrontation, and very tough. It's just the weight data of the older generation, basically
It hasn’t been updated much, it just stayed in the rookie period, so the joke appeared that Malone only weighed 250 pounds and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only weighed 225 pounds. The NBA rookie period was the lowest point of weight. It is the same for everyone, "Du Qichi"
They are all skinny and dry, and both weigh 240 pounds. Are you telling me that the 218cm Kareem Abdul-Jabbar actually only weighs 225 pounds? Is that a skeleton? In his peak period, it was definitely more than this figure, at least around 250 pounds.
So Curry's physical fitness is really at the level of an "NBA elementary school student". He is a kid who can barely dunk. He has no problem shooting at the top. He can even be said to be the strongest in NBA history. But physical fitness, well, forget it.
.
Jordan can adapt to modern rules, but Curry is destined to be unable to adapt to Hand-G. It is not a technical problem, but simply a lack of physical fitness. Even if Curry deadlifts well, it is useless, because the person facing him is Jordan.
The strongest outside form, Michael Jordan.
PS: This chapter has been postponed until now because Xiao Zi fell asleep while writing last night. Now she doesn’t have enough energy to stay up late to write. Is it because she is old? Woohoo~ About this Hand-g question, Xiaozi
Some time ago, Zi asked an "uncle" who retired from the provincial team for advice. They played hand-g basketball at that time, so he told me straightforwardly that he wanted to play basketball well under the hand-g rules.
, physical fitness is a guarantee, without physical fitness, there is nothing to talk about. Xiao Zi felt that this statement was too general and difficult to understand, so "Uncle" gave me another vivid example.
Do you know why it is so difficult for you students to play singles with young people and middle-aged people? It is completely different from the opposing students? It is very uncomfortable? The reason is that your body is not strong enough and your physique is not good. In addition to having some advantages in jumping and speed, you also have some advantages.
What are the advantages? Physical fitness is not just about jumping and speed. And...these middle-aged uncles, they play hand-g, so you think they are difficult to deal with, and they are suspected of defensive fouls.
When Xiao Zi heard this, she felt like she was enlightened. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that there really was a reason for this.
No wonder when I played in the past, I always felt that they were blocking fouls. Now that I think about it, isn’t it the difference between having Hand-g and not having Hand-g?
