NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 41

2006 is an extraordinary year.

An unexpected team was born, firmly occupying the top four in the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets. After two years of running-in, it seems that people have seen the emergence of another OK combination, but this time they need to grow insiders. And waiting to grow into outsiders.

Yao Ming, a little giant from Huaguo, averaged 24+11.2 per game. The super center's data and strong court dominance amazed people, while McGrady's data of 27+7+5 per game was even more eye-catching, healthy The combination of Yao and McGregor dominated the game. If it wasn't for the Rockets' poor lineup depth, their record would probably hit the top three. In the end, they suffered a wave of losing streaks as the playoffs approached and only got fifth in the Western Conference. In the first round, they encountered the Mavericks.

The depth of the Mavericks is too scary. The Rockets can stabilize the situation when Yao Mai is on the court, but the gap between the substitute players is too large. In this round of the series, the Mavericks' substitutes lead the Rockets by an average of 17 points per game!In the end, the Rockets lost to the Mavericks 2-4 and were unfortunately eliminated.

But every Rockets fan can feel the bright future, the thriving little giant and the revived Tracy McGrady, as long as the Rockets strengthen the lineup a little bit, they will immediately be a strong contender for the championship, but they have never been able to do this. wait.

Shaquille O'Neal, people seem to have forgotten this shark, but in 06 he showed his fangs again. He played 80 games in the Heat, more than the number of appearances in each season of the Lakers, and lost O'Neal, who was plagued by injuries, unleashed his destructive power on the court. People lamented that the shark had swam back again. Only Yao Ming could barely stop the shark from raging. Other teams remembered the fear of being dominated by O'Neal again.

Those rough insiders can get big contracts again, including Yao Ming, O'Neal and the immature Howard, and they can easily earn a living in the future.

In the end, the Mavericks advanced to the Western Conference Finals with two 4-3s. Facing the raging Stoudemire and Nash, Nowitzki also showed a superb state, winning the Suns 4-2 and reaching the finals.

The Eastern Heat took the lead, killing the Bulls 4-1 in the first round, sweeping the Nets 4-0 in the second round, losing to Larry Brown's Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals, and finally meeting the Mavericks in the finals 4-2.

The fans of the shooting and dunk matchup all think so. Nowitzki and O'Neal are two completely different styles of play, so everyone has a different expectation for this round of the series, but the hottest thing is that the Heat are young. Guard Dwyane Wade.

After the Mavericks took a 2-0 lead, the guard seemed to have received a different kind of blessing. He always got the whistle when he broke into the paint. In the last four games, he led the Heat to comeback against the Mavericks with 36+5+5 data and was crowned FMVP. Let O'Neill and Nowitzki be reduced to foils.

The fans found it difficult to accept such a result. Although the big cheeks worked hard to break into the inside line again and again, and those whistles looked normal, but this is the finals!Especially last year's bloody battle between the Spurs and the Pistons is still vivid. The referee seems to be consciously manipulating the game. The fans clearly discovered this. The Spurs' Duncan and Popovich were the pinnacles of the sea, and after Nowitzki's mentality collapsed, no one could stand up again, which led to this defeat.

Perhaps the alliance itself did not expect to be self-defeating. David Stern forced a smile and called out loudly in his heart for the person who could save the current collapsed situation, but Li Zheng let him down again.

The University of Washington has won three consecutive championships without any suspense, with an average margin of 10 points per game. Ball critics agree that the combination of Lee Jung and Roy is not fair to the current NCAA players. There should be no reference to players' NCAA records.

Li Zheng and Roy's two-guard pick-and-roll has become a legendary skill at the skyhook level. Most teams can only watch Li Zheng pass the ball to Roy after the pick-and-roll, and then Roy makes a three-pointer, or Roy picks and rolls for Li Zheng, and then the defender can only watch Li Zheng assist or score in [-] ways.

Roy and Li Zheng both locked the top three picks, but Roy's injury before the crazy March cast a shadow over his draft. Roy changed direction and made a breakthrough in the game against Duke University He hit another person's knee, and the doctor said that after examination, Roy only had half the meniscus of an ordinary person.

Li Zheng single-handedly led the team to beat Georgia and Wake Forest in a row. In the final, Roy's king returned. Against the University of Florida with Noah, Al Horford and Corey Brewer, Li Zheng and Roy teamed up to slash With 48 points, the three of them burst into tears, and then announced that they would give up the NBA draft and continue to play their senior season.

Three consecutive NCAA titles and one loss in three years. Although it is not unprecedented, people are still amazed at this legend that happened in front of them. However, when it is generally believed that Li Zhenghui and Roy will participate in the 1 draft together, Li Zheng once again Said that he will continue to stay in the NCAA.
The entire United States was in an uproar, participating in the draft with Roy was the best ending, with one loss in three years, two years of undefeated, three consecutive NCAA championships, and three consecutive MOPs. Does anyone know what is the reason for Lee Jung to stay on the team, to finish his studies?What a shit reason.

Under the impact of crazy fans, the official media of the University of Washington said that this is Li's personal idea. The University of Washington welcomes Li to pursue advanced studies in any form at any time. Choosing to stay in school is a choice that puzzles the whole world.

Could it be that Li has the same basic skills as Duncan and needs to play four years in college?Or pay tribute to his template Michael Jordan?Or is it that Master Romar is so magical that winning the hearts of talented players makes him willing to give up the multi-million dollar annual contract and tens of millions of dollars in endorsements?No one knew the specific reason, and even Li Zheng's own explanation was very pale.

In the end, "miracle" research expert, the ball critic who knows Li Zheng best, and the chief special commentator of ESPN, Matt Davis said that based on his understanding of Brian Lee, this is a practice, and the incomprehension of the world will give Li Zheng With great motivation, he has already determined that Lee in his senior season will bloodbath the NCAA arena with terrifying dominance.

There are also some people who sneer at Matt Davis' analysis of playing tricks, thinking that Li Zheng is just reluctant to jump out of the comfort zone of college basketball, and is afraid of confrontation at the NBA level. Many NCAA invincible players have disappeared in the NBA. It was overthrown for the simple reason that Li Zheng dominated the Olympic Games in his freshman season, and the NBA star they said was not as good as Li Zheng, and almost went home in the quarterfinals.

"Li, I don't need you to pity me." Roy communicated with Li Zheng seriously, but Li Zheng just smiled and waved his hands, "I have my own reasons, and I want to see what level I can reach. "

Roy's eyes were moist. Li Zheng's abandonment of the election allowed Roy to lock in the top three picks, and he knew how difficult it was to achieve today's achievements by himself. Li Zheng and Roy hugged tightly, and Li Zheng was reluctant to give up. I bid farewell to this best friend and teammate. Roy is always trustworthy. Only Roy can make Li Zheng give up the right to shoot the last ball, and Roy is the same. The strongest second player, in fact, Roy is a strong player with the same competitive spirit as Kobe Bryant.

This is the two best people, as the fans said, it might be more perfect if they entered the league at the same time, but the reason why Li Zheng had to stay.

[Changing master (only for NCAA two consecutive championships): Reduce the damage to the body caused by changing the direction, and the possibility of knocking down the opponent +20% (defenders only)]

[King of changing directions (NCAA three-peat limited)]: Changing directions ignores the loss of the body, and every time you change directions, you will accumulate the probability of knocking down your opponent. (Defenders only)]

[Wealth Freedom: Appreciation from Bill Gates and Paul Allen (0.75% stock in Microsoft), recognition from Jobs (1% stock in Apple)]

No matter how sincerely David Stern and representatives of Nike, Adidas, and Reebok tried to persuade him, Li Zheng could always firmly refuse their temptation. It is determined that he must sign Li Zheng, but only Li Zheng knows that he is not the saint and messiah they say, but their price tag is too pitiful.
