You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 667
The game started with a jump ball for both sides.

Cowens was in charge of the jump ball for the Celtics and Walter Bellamy for the Eagles.This Bellamy is famous for being 13 successfully installed by Chamberlain, just like Nate Thurmond, belongs to the era living in the shadow of Lord of the Rings and the Big Dipper⑴.

Bellamy may be the player in history who best embodies the description of debut as peak. The NBA seems to be very simple for him. He averaged 30 points and 19 rebounds per game in his rookie season.It's a pity that he hasn't reached this height since then, and since the second season, he has been declining every year.It declines a little every year, so it has dropped from the expectation of Chamberlain Russell to a bad artifact.

In his 14-year career, he played seven teams. You must know that there were not many teams in that era.Every time he is involved in a transaction, he is the core of the transaction, but every time he is traded, his value drops a little.However, as a bad artifact, there are still some basic qualities to help the team introduce cornerstone players.In New York, he helped the team acquire Willis Reed, and a year later, "Reed returned", indirectly retaliating Chamberlain's humiliation to him that year-how many layers of this wave? ——He was sent to Atlanta before the trade deadline, and he used his European spirit to let the Eagles use their money-making ability to successfully get Maravich.

If the Celtics had Bellamy in 1997, Pitino's NBA coaching career might have been rewritten.

Bellamy jumps very high, from height to speed and physical fitness, he is above Cowens.

Hit the ball first, but didn't hit it in the best spot.Green Kai's Fu general Don Nelson rushed to pick up the ball, and the game unfolded at a fast pace.

Nelson was so confident, he dribbled the ball to the free throw line for a jumper.

In the tiebreaker of the 1969 finals, he hit the quasi-lore that made the LOGO man have countless nightmares in the same position.

The LOGO man is right, if you give him a hundred chances, he won't be able to get in.

Nelson's jumper from the free-throw line was unstoppable, and Bellamy grabbed the rebound and threw it to Maravich, who was on the fast break in the first place.

Maravich doesn't have the physicality to deliver fast-break dunks, he just puts the ball in the rim lightly.

"Please use your acrobatic strength on the defensive end." Wei Xia reminded Don Chaney.

Cheney agreed with all his heart, but there were many difficulties in implementing it.

Wei Xia decided to play a ball.

Maravich is well-known in this era. He belongs to the supernova who has not yet entered the league, and countless teams are waiting for him.

He was the earliest "show moment".

The show moments of the 80s belonged to a whole team, and the show moments of the 70s belonged only to Maravich.

Cowens barked for the ball.

The teammate passed the ball, Wei Xia ran, ran from the left to the right, finally found the angle, came behind Cowens, and Cowens passed the ball.

Maravich's defense is still active, but he is a white man who can't run fast or jump high. If he doesn't have Bird's almost monster-like defensive awareness and golf quotient, it will be difficult to achieve the ultimate defensive end.

Wei Xia shot a feint, and Maravich flew away.

"Shh!"

He made a direct time difference.

"Show me your skills, pistol," Wei Xia said.

Wei Xia took the initiative to face Maravich, and Cheney couldn't wish for it.

He stuck to Maravich, and the Eagles didn't have a catch tactic designed specifically for him.Moreover, Wei Xia could see that although the Eagles gave Maravich a record-breaking rookie contract, they did not give him the corresponding tactical status.

Take a look at his teammates, Bellamy, Bill Bridges (C), "Honey" Lou Hudson, Mahdi Abdul Rahman (PG), which one is not a famous player in the world. I heard that the team gave this white man a record-breaking salary. Can you not be jealous?
The Hawks' crowding out of Maravich never went away.

Maravich averaged 23 points per game in his rookie season, but scored just 14 in his first two games with the Hawks.If it weren't for the later reconciliation with head coach Rich Galen, the only thing he really has in this team is the management and fanatical fans who regard him as the savior.

The eagle's ball hit Hudson's hands.

Just like Kobe's father was called "Sweet Bean" because of his chic style of play, Hudson was called "Honey" because of his soft touch, and his shots are as sweet as eating sugar.

He scored a goal.

Maravich returned to the defense with a blank face, Wei Xia followed, and by the way: "Your teammates don't seem to care about you."

"Did anyone care about you in your rookie year?" Maravich wondered.

Wei Xia, no, Havlicek's pride came out spontaneously: "You may not believe it, but when I didn't play a single NBA game, Sam Jones and Tom Heinsohn had taught me shooting for months for free."

Maravich's expression darkened.

Seeing the bitterness of the opponent, Wei Xia's disgusting attributes were passively triggered on Havlicek: "Don't be sad, our Celtics are such a special team."

Weixia patronized Maravich's mentality and didn't run much. Nelson showed another jumper from the free throw line.This time he touched the basket anyway, Cowens rushed out like a tiger and leopard to fight for an offensive rebound, and then let out a scream as if he had been struck by lightning, forced himself from the basket, and scored.

"You want to see my real skills?"

Maravich's words came head-on.

Wei Xia had a hunch that he was coming.Because the basketball is in Maravich's hands.

Maravich controls the center of gravity. In this era when players are not allowed to juggle, only Maravich's dribbling is so worrying.

Wei Xia stared at him, and suddenly, his right hand injected unimaginable ingenuity on the ball, successfully deceiving Wei Xia's center of gravity.But in the next second, Wei Xia kept up with his outstanding athletic ability.

The attack of the pistol, in terms of route, has been blocked by him.

Suddenly, Maravich stepped into the paint area, put away the ball, held the ball with his left hand, and combined the ball with his right hand, as if he was going to use his left hand for a layup.When Wei Xia made the movement to block the shot, his right hand spread out in an instant, and his left hand did not know where to exert force, and the ball that was firmly grasped in his hand bounced quickly to the inside.

What did he do?
Wei Xia was shocked.

It's a pity that Maravich surpassed the times. Even in the 21s when Wei Xia was in, no one could replicate the stunning pass, and even his teammates couldn't react.

Stupid Bellamy was looking at the rim as the pass hit him in the face and bounced into Cowens' hands.

Cowens roared and made a long pass, and Cheney scored.

Bellamy glared at Maravich with slight anger and resentment.

There was no regret or regret on Maravich's face, he just said: "I didn't pass the ball for the worthless common people when the team took 200 million signings."

"For so much money, he only averaged 14 points per game, which is amazing!"

Bellamy didn't think he was wrong at all. Between "I'm an idiot" and "Maravich's pass is so fucking idiot", he chose the latter,
This is the embarrassment and dilemma Maravich faces.

Almost every fan of later generations admits that he has surpassed his era. However, in an era that will only hinder him, only fans can accept this incredible creativity and style of play. His teammates and coaches cannot adapt and get used to it.

Wei Xia did not expect Maravich to be in such a difficult situation in the team.

Thinking about it, it seems normal.

After the magician in the 80s signed that terrible 25-year 2500 million contract, didn't the Lakers' locker room blow up?

At least Bellamy didn't go up to Bass like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and question why he gave Maggie so much money.

"That was a beautiful pass, can you do it again for me?"

Wei Xia doesn't just want to watch it, if possible, he wants to learn a few tricks from his teacher.

He dared not say anything else.Maravich's technique of attacking the basket and passing the ball while on the move, and popping the ball ready for a layup with an unknown force in an instant, was unprecedented even in the era of his playing.

Generally, when most of the offense suddenly chooses to pass, it is a pass behind the head, a large transfer of both hands, or an understated Rondo-style one-handed back pass. Maravich's hand, to put it bluntly, the opponent has no idea what he did.

The sense of on-the-spot matchup is that you feel that his ball has been shot, but the arc of the ball is not going to the basket, but to your teammates.Not until the ball is caught by his teammate, or unfortunately it hits a teammate in the face, and he doesn't realize it-"Holy shit, what did I just see?" That's the feeling.

Bellamy's dissatisfaction is completely understandable. Even if Weixia came, if he didn't know in advance, it would probably be impossible to guard against. Maravich's action before passing the ball is really deceptive!

"You'll see, I promise."

"Thank you so much." Wesha forgot what he should be doing now as John Havlicek, "May I ask a question?"

Maravich looked at Wesha in confusion.

"How did that pass work?"

"The strength of the palm plus the thrust of the body." Maravich saw Wei Xia's mind, "It's not that easy."

Isn't it that easy?

Could it be harder than a 21st century person traveling every night to play in the 20s?Not necessarily?Nah?

Wei Xia's low profile indirectly gave Cowens a chance to stir up trouble.

This guy is really a lunatic, and Wei Xia wondered more than once if he was drinking stimulants as water.Watching him play is like watching Tachibana Riko's works, the screams of ghosts and gods often make people think-is it necessary?It won't be really cool, will it?
Cowens roared and dribbled for a strong kill, and scored head-on.

⑴The specific process. Bellamy and Lao Zhang went to say hello before the game in their rookie season.As a result, Lao Zhang did what he said, and at the end of the first half, he said to Bellamy: "Okay, now you can score."
