The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 585 The Hard Special of Lonely Carry

Hardt tried his best and hit the first triple-double of his career with 30 points, 14 rebounds, 14 assists and 5 blocks, but he couldn't take away a victory from Vancouver.

Xiao Tian and Duncan scored 80 points, 14 rebounds, and 20 assists in this game. Hardt’s 14 assists in this game are very impressive. He allowed every player in the Timberwolves to score, but he couldn’t lead his teammates to take a victory from Vancouver. This is the most uncomfortable thing.

Harder was very lonely, he didn't scold his teammates, experienced a yin and yang contract, and after the team was crazily targeted by the league, Harder seemed to mature a lot overnight. Although Joe Smith was missing from the lineup, the team made it to the second round. However, in the historical space, they were defeated by the Blazers in the first round without Joe Smith.

The next game is on May 5, and the Timberwolves have three days to adjust, but unless the teammates can suddenly wake up, or the Timberwolves are likely to be swept out by the Grizzlies.

The game between the Grizzlies and the Timberwolves was uneventful, while the Lakers and Warriors fought fiercely in two overtimes in the other semifinal. Carter led the Warriors to successfully counterattack the Lakers and actually won a victory at the Staples Center. Warriors fans thought of the greatest superstar in team history—Rick Barry. That year, Rick Barry also led the Warriors to the championship despite being unfavorable. This season, Carter and Barry's trajectories are similar. Maybe his current scoring ability is not as strong as Barry, but one thing he and Barry are the same, that is, they both have the heart of a carry teammate.

The Lakers lost this game, and head coach Phil Jackson became the target of criticism from the Los Angeles media. As a constructive head coach, Zen Master prefers to let the superstars adjust themselves instead of calling a timeout to tell them how to play.

The next day, the local media in Los Angeles broke the news. It turned out that on the day of the game, the entire Lakers team had a good night in a well-known nightclub in Los Angeles under the call of O'Neal.

Especially the star O'Neal, who was hacked by the media.

"Shaq has been in Los Angeles for four years, but the Lakers still don't have a championship. The Grizzlies have already won a championship under the leadership of Heaven."

"If it weren't for those two idiots, the Lakers would have been revived long ago."

........................

The media’s arguments were once again against Xiao Tian and O’Neill. If it weren’t for Rogers, the brain-dead man, there would be no intersection between these two people, but it was because of the other party that the Los Angeles media brought up the old story again. This made O’Neill’s agent, Jay Bass, very passive.

Hapi himself didn't know about O'Neill's previous nightclub visits. The moment the media revealed it, he used the energy of the Bass family to block many media leaders. However, the Bass family is still unable to cover the sky with one hand in Los Angeles, so more than half of the media reported this incident. This made O'Neill's reputation in the City of Angels drop to a freezing point.

"Shaq, you made a mess this time, why did you do that last night?"

Jay Bass was really tired looking at O'Neal. This big guy is good at everything, but his professional attitude is too worrying. If he is a little more focused, then there is no problem in becoming the greatest center in team history. After all, this guy is a nimble fat guy, and his basketball IQ is not comparable to ordinary muscular sticks, but this guy is just too loose. His enthusiasm for basketball is not so high, because everything is too simple for him.

O'Neill obviously didn't take the media's condemnation to heart. After all, he has not been in the league for a day or two. Just listen to what the media say. They called you a grandson a second ago. Maybe you will turn around and kneel and lick your little brother next time. So it's nothing.

O'Neal is still very confident. Although the Lakers lost the first game, it was nothing at all, because even when all the Lakers were sleepwalking and were hollowed out by the group of blue pools in the nightclub, the Warriors beat him. It took two overtimes, which shows that the combat effectiveness of this team is very problematic.

Xiao Tian is not as big-hearted as O’Neal. Although he easily defeated the Huskies in the first game, the team still exposed a lot of problems. Harder is better than Carter in terms of comprehensiveness at this stage. After all, he played many years earlier than Carter in the league, and this style was developed by him since he played basketball, but Carter is not. In high school and before entering the NBA, Carter came into everyone’s sight as a dunker. In the Grizzlies, this guy learned a lot, so he tried to use it. Another way to lead teammates to win.

So in the next game, the Huskies will definitely not sit still.

The three-day rest period is an adjustment for both parties, and Xiao Tian is still quietly organizing training. The dozen or so assists in the first game of Hardt really stimulated himself. Although he is not a fan of this guy, he has to say that this guy is really strong, and he is a man who has grown up amid countless criticisms. Of course, his criticisms are all caused by his big mouth and fiery personality.

The semifinals in the West were very exciting, but the East was not so exciting. Both Philadelphia and the Pacers defeated their opponents. After the Knicks and Heat reached the second round, they seemed to be unable to play. After all, the defense of the Pacers and Philadelphia was not comparable to the opponents in the first round.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere of the semifinals, Godfather Si put the lottery ceremony in the middle of the draft again, and it was still in Madison Square Garden. However, compared with the previous lottery draws, there was nothing special about this lottery ceremony. The team that won the No. That draft target for the Bears is in that pick.

This year's lottery ceremony was the same as before, there were still many hot rookies present, but what made these hot rookies embarrassed was that they were completely ignored by the reporters.After all, apart from their better physical fitness than the previous ones, other areas, such as basketball IQ, are completely inferior to the previous ones. According to the predictions of experts, this draft will be as tragic as the 89 draft.

Xiao Tian didn't care about these things, because the Timberwolves came again on May 5th, Philip Sanders finally made adjustments, Nesterovic came to the starting lineup, and then Wallis Zebiak came to the bench, and the person on the bench was Bobby Jackson. This adjustment still has a big impact on the Timberwolves. Bobby Jackson and Wallis Zebiak are completely two players, one doesn't like shooting, and the other shoots crazy.So Wu Sheng was also confused at this moment. When he defended Bobby Jackson by defending Szczerbiak, the Huskies seized the opportunity. Bobby Jackson became a surprise player in the first quarter and scored 10 points under Wu Sheng's defense. This was the brightest point of his career. just work.

Philip Sanders was very satisfied with Bobby Jackson's performance, so he didn't let him go down in the second quarter, and let the opponent continue to play, because this would allow the hard team to rest for a while, but Philip Sanders ignored one thing. Bobby Jackson is just a role player, and role players have their weaknesses. If this weakness is caught by the opponent, they will immediately collapse. What is Bobby Jackson's weakness? Tesen was similar, but Xiao Tian didn't end in the second quarter, but took the initiative to match up with Bobby Jackson. Bobby Jackson obviously didn't expect that his performance would actually attract Xiao Tian's attention, but his adrenaline burst out in an instant. He has a place in Hollywood and even the entire North American cultural circle, which makes many rough guys in the sports world start to feel uncomfortable.

Facing Xiao Tian, ​​Bobby Jackson confidently chose to shoot. His shooting percentage this season is less than 10%. Now he is not the best sixth man in history. In the season when he was selected as the best sixth man, his shooting percentage was not that bad. This is why Philip Sanders doesn’t like to use him. If he didn’t want to change the disadvantage of the Timberwolves, Bobby Jackson wouldn’t be able to get any opportunities to play. In their eyes, shooting is a sissy, not a man’s choice. This is the key to why Nowitzki has not been recognized in the historical space of the league for many years. He is the first power forward in history who can throw a three-pointer from the outside. However, it took him more than ten years to reach the championship in his career. Is the current nba environment still at the level of iron blood and toughness? Although it is very enjoyable to watch, the real technology has not changed much, so this is why Xiao Tian has become the current No. 15, and the reason why Si Godfather still wants to find someone to overthrow him, because 1% of Xiao Tian's points are shots, and the remaining 70.00% are breakthroughs.

He is a point guard who goes against the style of play of this era. Apart from him, there is no other point guard in the league who dares to play like this. So Bobby Jackson wanted to show off his shot in front of Xiao Tian, ​​a non-mainstream player. As a result, the shot went wrong, but the rebound was grabbed by Anthony Peeler inside. He wanted to make a tip, but Rodman directly blocked the shot behind him.

After receiving a certain promise from Xiao Tian, ​​the biggest change that Rodman brought to the Grizzlies was that he picked up his rebounding and blocking shots again. In terms of blocks, Rodman is not much worse than Olajuwon. Their blocks rely on consciousness, but compared to Rodman, Olajuwon’s situation is now very miserable. According to local media reports in Houston, Olajuwon has already started to pack his luggage and prepare to leave the space city. As for where the next stop will be, no one knows.But this approach of the Rockets still makes people feel very chilling. The absolute superstar who brought three championships to the Rockets will actually be kicked out in his later years. Although the NBA is a commercial league, it is too impersonal. In this regard, the Lakers are better than the Rockets.
If Olajuwon alone goes to the transfer market, he will definitely be snapped up. Although he is not as good as he was at his peak, he has no problem being a rotation player.

Philip Sanders still did not replace Bobby Jackson. He really regarded Bobby Jackson as the savior of the Timberwolves. Seeing that Bobby Jackson's offense was once again blocked by the Grizzlies, Hardt silently stood up from the bench, because the Timberwolves were already behind in the score.
