Chapter 354 Counterpoint Mutombo
Chapter 348

Lei Feng looked intently at the bald man, and then remembered that there is indeed an inside player with the same name and surname as the magician in the league...

Players with the same name or surname are extremely common in the league. For example, there are dozens of players named Kevin in the history of the league...

For example, there are dozens of players with the surname Rose in the history of the league...

But the same name plus the same surname, this kind of thing is relatively rare.

……

Lei Feng smiled and nodded, pretending to be exposed as a joke, nodded lightly, and agreed to his request to call inside.

When he went to help the Lakers F4 last time, Lei Feng was playing the power forward position, so he was not very worried about playing inside...

Looking at the surrounding situation, Lei Feng immediately recognized the young Lei Allen at a glance. It seems that there is not much difference from the old Lei Allen.

In addition to Ray Allen, Lei Feng also recognized another famous player, mainly because his appearance is too special...

That's Cassel, nicknamed Alien...

His appearance can definitely leave an extremely deep impression on people. Although Lei Feng didn't watch a few of his games, this appearance has always been deeply engraved in his heart!

Compared with the alien Cassel, the Dallas double ugliness of later generations is definitely considered a handsome man.

In addition to these two backcourt stars, Lei Feng also heard the name of the big dog just now, that is, Glenn Robinson, the top small forward player in the league in this era.

When it comes to Big Dog, fans of later generations don’t know much about it. Anyway, it is much worse than players like Kobe and Duncan. Not too much difference...

In order to let the big dog sign the contract honestly, the Bucks gave the big dog a rookie contract that has never been done before or since, and it is 800 million in ten years...

This contract may not be a big deal now, but at the time, it was no less sensational than Jordan's annual salary of 3000 million in a single season. Never in history has a rookie who has never proven himself been able to get such a terrifying contract!

You must know that Duncan, who entered the NBA three years later, is also the No. 3 pick, but he only has 1020 million US dollars in three years...

……

Seeing the Bucks' backcourt lineup, Lei Feng couldn't help but secretly stunned!

It's really scary, the big dog, the gentleman's sword and the alien, such a three-person combination, Lei Feng immediately thought of the later Nets Trident, how similar the lineup is!
But the facts have proved that such a trident combination in the backcourt, although the game is extremely good-looking, it is difficult to go long in the playoffs!

Anyway, Lei Feng can be sure that the Bucks definitely did not reach the finals this season, because the two sides in the finals are the Lakers and the 76ers!
The reason why they can't go further in the playoffs is that they lack reliable insiders!

The basketball concept of today's era is not the strict small ball tactics of later generations...

If there is no reliable insider, then the backcourt players can only attack wildly. If the hand feels good, they can block and kill the gods, but the hand feels bad, especially in the playoffs where the defensive intensity is extremely strong. revealed...

In addition, the three-pointers of today's players are not so reliable. The three-pointers of Big Dog and Cassel are only [-]% of the three-pointers. Junzijian's three-pointers are extremely reliable, but the three-pointer Not many times...

The strongest inside player in the team is the magician's namesake, Irvin Johnson, who averaged about 3 points and 7 rebounds per game, which is really painful...

Not much to say, even if this Johnson can be replaced by an insider who averages 10+10 per game, then the Bucks will definitely go further in the playoffs. It is not difficult to eliminate the single-core 76ers... …

……

"Guys, this game is related to whether we can enter the finals. You should know how long we have not tasted the taste of the finals, nearly 30 years! We must win this game tonight!" Bucks coach George Karl said loudly.

All the Bucks in the locker room stood up one after another. Without coach Carl reminding them, they also knew the meaning of this game very well!
Tonight's game is their tiebreaker against the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals. If they win, they will be able to join the Lakers in the finals!
And if they lose, they can only return to Milwaukee in despair...

Lei Feng nodded, knowing in his heart that it was time for him to travel through. Good guy, it turned out to be the Bucks' away game against the Philadelphia 76ers in tiebreaker!

This is the 76ers who are comfortable with Iverson, the most brilliant season of Iverson's entire career!
Of course, to say that this season is Iverson's most glorious season does not mean how outstanding Iverson's performance in this round of the series is...

In fact, Iverson's performance in this round of the series is actually not outstanding, even a bit pitted, but the data will not lie. In this round of the series, against the Bucks, Iverson averaged He took 31 shots, with a total shooting rate of only 34.4%, three-point shooting rate of 33.3%, and an average of 30.5 points per game. With such a statistic, I am afraid that no matter how hardcore Iverson fans are, it is difficult to say how good he is.

It's just that Iverson's fans generally don't go for Iverson's statistics, but just like Iverson's rebellious character...

A fan once said that there are two types of players in the league. Iverson himself is one type, and other players are another type. This is generally reasonable.

……

It stands to reason that Iverson performed like this, averaging 31 shots per game, plus nearly 10 free throws per game. In this case, the average is only [-] points per game, and it is really unlikely to win against the Bucks. In the game, after all, the Bucks' backcourt trident is not a joke.

But under the normal historical trajectory, the Philadelphia 76ers won. Although the process was very difficult and they went through a tiebreaker, the final winner was the Philadelphia 76ers...

The reason is Uncle Mu whose age is a mystery...

In this round of the series, Uncle Mu averaged 10 shots per game and scored 16 points. It seems that although the scoring efficiency is good, as an inside player, there is nothing to brag about...

What really scares Uncle Mu is his rebounding and interior defense. It can be said that he blasted the Bucks' interior with one hand.

The average is close to 16 rebounds per game, of which there are 6.5 offensive rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game.
Think about Mutombo's age, and you will know how terrifying his data is...

Uncle Mu's official birth year is 1966. Even according to the official age, Uncle Mu is now 35 years old!

Not to mention that the Houston Rockets later identified Uncle Mu's teeth, and the results of the identification may have falsely reported his age of 5-10 years old...

Even according to the false report that he is at least five years old, Uncle Mu is now 40 years old!
The inside players themselves are more likely to enter the recession period. They can still gallop on the court at the age of 35, and they can still score 16+16+2.7 per game in the Eastern Conference finals. It is absolutely jaw-dropping.

It can be said that without Uncle Mu's miraculous performance, Iverson's season would never be so brilliant. Just imagine if the Philadelphia 76ers, the top record leader in the Eastern Conference, were defeated by the second-ranked Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals. Does Fossen still have so many passing stories nowadays...

At least the legend of Iverson single-handedly challenging the Lakers OK combination will not appear.

……

Lei Feng understood the reason why the system directly arranged an inside position for him after he appeared on the mission plane!

In the next game, if there is no accident, the Bucks insider Johnson, who averaged 10 minutes per game, will definitely be blown up, and even if Iverson's performance is not satisfactory, they will still beat the Bucks. Make it to the finals!
And the best way to change this situation is to replace the weak and poor Johnson with Lei Feng. Only in this way can the Bucks have the hope of advancing!
Lei Feng sighed, I really need to move where I really need to move. The last time I was on a mission for the Lakers, I took Malone's place and went to face the roaring god Rasheed Wallace who is nearly seven feet tall...

And this time it was even more exaggerated, he actually wanted to face off against Uncle Mu who was 218 cm tall? !
Lei Feng intends to tell Coach Carl that he is really not suitable to play against Uncle Mu, he is more inclined to defend Iverson...

Although Lei Feng has professional proficiency in rebounding, don't forget that Uncle Mu is also a top rebounder in the history of the league, and he is [-] centimeters taller than Lei Feng!
Under such circumstances, it would definitely not be an easy task for Lei Feng to blow up Uncle Mu.

As soon as this idea was born, Lei Feng killed it directly. What the Bucks lack now is the inside line.What about the trident?Put one of them on the bench?

Even thinking about it, it is completely impossible!

What's more, Iverson's shooting rate in this round of the series is actually too low to be lower, 30.00% four shooting rate, how low can it be, even if Lei Feng defends, it may not be able to defend the same effect...

It can be said that in this round of the series, the most brilliant thing the Bucks have done is their defense against Iverson.

After thinking about it, Lei Feng could only silently accept the extremely difficult job of facing Uncle Mu.

……

Soon, the game officially started.

Lei Feng came on stage with a backcourt trident and a power forward Tim Thomas...

Speaking of Tim Thomas' height, he is actually more suitable to play the center position than Lei Feng. After all, he is 208 cm tall, which is [-] cm taller than Lei Feng.

But the embarrassing thing is that this guy's rebounding and inside defensive strength, the two tied together can almost reach Johnson's level, and there is about a Howard's distance from Uncle Mu...

However, Tim Thomas is not saying that there is no merit. His offensive firepower is still quite sufficient, especially with his extremely good three-point ability, which is stronger than the big dog Robinson and the alien Cassel. Many times, the threat on the field is still great.

"Hey, what the hell is going on, I hope you don't get blown away by Uncle Mu..." Lei Feng said with a wry smile after appearing on the stage.

The referee signaled the two sides to start a jump ball, Lei Feng and Tim Thomas glanced at each other, and finally Lei Feng stepped forward to execute the jump ball...

Seeing Lei Feng, who was only 203 in height, come to jump the ball with him, Uncle Mu immediately became amused, and waved his finger at Lei Feng as he did his representative gesture...

Needless to say, Uncle Mu got the first offensive ball for the Philadelphia 76ers!

The game officially started, and Lei Feng couldn't help cheering up. The mission season he has traveled through is still extremely bright in the history of the NBA. It is an honor for him to be able to join it!

Iverson began to advance the ball!
What surprised Lei Feng was that as soon as the Bucks came up, Ray Allen and Cassel stepped forward to help defend, and did not give Iverson a chance to make a breakthrough at all!
Lei Feng can roughly guess why Iverson's scoring efficiency is so low, there is no way, the opponent gives him this level of defensive pressure, it is strange that the scoring efficiency is high...

If Iverson has a strong backcourt helper around him, he can find more suitable shooting opportunities through the transmission of his teammates' ball possession...

But right now Iverson really doesn't have a decent backcourt helper...

The leader of the Philadelphia 76ers is undoubtedly Iverson, and the second leader is Mutombo. As for the third leader, I am afraid no one will know it, Aaron McGee...

To be honest, the strength of this McGee is actually not as good as the McGee of the five embarrassing MVPs...

As a shooting guard, McGee averaged only seven points per game in his career. This is a shooting guard who specializes in scoring...

The most glorious period of his entire career is the two years he stayed with the Philadelphia 76ers, scoring about 12 points. Before coming to the 76ers, he averaged only three to five points per game...

For such a player, one can imagine that it is difficult for Iverson to pass the ball to him willingly!

Just like what Kobe said, he has the strongest offensive strength on his own court, and if he doesn't fight, whoever will fight...

In some respects, especially the paranoia on the court, Iverson and Kobe are really on par...

Soon, Iverson shot!
The shot was defended by two defensive players who were taller than him...

A backward mid-range shot sounded the horn of offense in this game!

As soon as the ball was shot, Lei Feng had a strong premonition that he would definitely hit the iron!

Sure enough, the ball crashed on the basket, bounced high, and the first rebound appeared...

Lei Feng immediately learned of the rebound's landing point through professional proficiency, and quickly rushed over, preparing to get stuck in the best position!
Mutombo, a top rebounder in history, naturally has his own set of prediction methods for the rebound's landing point, and he also followed Lei Feng to the rebounding point...

Generally speaking, in this situation, Lei Feng will rely on his strong strength attribute to squeeze the opponent away, and then easily grab this rebound by himself!
But after he tried to squeeze Mutombo, although Mutombo retreated a little, he immediately regained his position quickly.

"Shua!" The rebound fell, and Lei Feng jumped up vigorously, ready to grab the rebound, but the embarrassing thing was that Mutombo picked up the rebound with his fingertips before Lei Feng...

Then when Lei Feng was about to jump up again, the rebound had already been held by Mutombo...

"Damn it! It's really difficult!" Lei Feng's face was full of bitterness...

If Mutombo's height is not so terrifying, but only Howard's height, then it is really impossible to say who will grab this rebound!

But now that Uncle Mu is as tall as 218 cm, Lei Feng feels helpless...

"It would be nice to have more bounce attributes, but the bounce is too bad..." Lei Fengdan thought in pain.

He is not tall enough, so he can bounce to make up for it. Now Lei Feng is not tall enough, and he has no advantage in bouncing. Naturally, he is at a disadvantage in the rebound!

"Huh? Interesting young man, your strength is quite good!" Mutombo said to Lei Feng with a smile.

To Lei Feng's ears, these words are more like a kind of sarcasm...
