I'm king in the basket

Chapter 175

If you're an NBA fan, there are a few things you must know.

Jordan is the undisputed No.1 in history.

Bill Russell led the Celtics to a feat of eight consecutive championships in ancient times.

It's just that, you may not know it, they came close to completing the tenth consecutive championship, just a little bit.

Who stopped them?

eagles.

Bob Pettit, this is a long-standing name, this is the original Eagle King, when we discuss who is the best power forward in history, we always mention Duncan, Malone, Nowitzki, Barkley, etc. People, but they always habitually ignore this ancient god.

Duncan is undoubtedly the best in history, but Pettit is a player who "can be compared with Duncan, but the latter will win overwhelmingly in the end".

Except for Duncan, at the power forward position, Pettit is not afraid of anyone in terms of hard honors.

Pettit led the Eagles to the Finals in the 1957-1958 season, and fought the defending champion Celtics in six games in the finals, eventually knocking them off.

That's all there is to the story.

If the Hawks hadn't stopped the Celtics that year, we'd have had a [-]-peat that was more terrifying than an eight-peat.

In this league where three consecutive championships are rare, ten consecutive championships, what is that concept?

Pettit and the Eagles are heroes who stopped a myth.

In that era of weak competitiveness, there were horrible statistics, epic victors, and all kinds of fierce men. With the vigorous development of the NBA, there are more and more teams and more and more talent pools. Thick, the myth of the Green Army's eight consecutive championships is destined to become a legend with no one to come.

Perhaps even God regrets that they did not achieve ten consecutive championships. The Eagles, which have obliterated the myth, have missed the championship since then.

From 1958 to the present, they have not touched the O'Brien Cup again.

This is a team with a glorious team history. They have changed four cities in total. From the west to the east, every era can produce superstars.

After Pettit won the championship, he was suppressed by the Celtics. In the 70s, Pete Maravich failed to lead their revival.

It wasn't until the 80s that they finally ushered in a decent new eagle king-Doninick Wilkins.

However, the Celtics were also at their peak at that time, and Larry Bird was leading the Celtics to complete their second revival.

The Eagles were suppressed again.

From Pettit to Wilkins, the Hawks have always been the footnotes of legend.

Pettit won the championship anyway, without any regrets, Wilkins was a little bit miserable. He was suppressed by the Celtics in the playoffs, Jordan suppressed the scoring list, and participated in a slam dunk contest to cultivate his sentiments but was suppressed by Jordan.

This is a team in the shadow of the giants.

After eight years of reconstruction, they have risen again, and they can be regarded as a powerful party in the East.

Tonight, they will challenge the Raptors in the center of the route.

Compared with others, it goes without saying that the Raptors' garbage history of less than [-] words is worth mentioning.

Although the Eagles are known as the background board of the Eastern Giants, their ancestors are also richer and have produced famous superstars for a while, and their background is not comparable to that of the Raptors.

The presence of Li Xing has given the Raptors a boost recently, and the attention has surpassed the Lakers and Green Kai. Whenever there is a game between them, it must be accompanied by a national live broadcast.

The Eagles haven't seen such treatment for a long time.

Their core, Joe Johnson, who is known as the contemporary Jordan, called his teammates before the game and said: "Listen to me, Toronto is just a persimmon, Luckey is not that terrible, compared to his shooting skills, his skills are nothing! "

"Are you sure?" Horford asked with a smile.

Horford asked with a smile, which made Johnson embarrassed: "Well, he is very strong. I know this game is a test for you, but we are here to win!"

"That's right, we must, win!" Josh Smith shouted loudly.

They are so ambitious one by one, but Horford suffers.

If you bastards don't confront him, of course you can stand and talk without back pain, but I will be the one who will be pushed on the ground and rubbed back and forth!

"Wow, there is another member of the witch group!"

Barkley's partner tonight is not Kenny Smith.Smith reportedly took a week off from TNT due to gastroenteritis.

So, the person who partnered with Barkley tonight was replaced by Reggie Miller.

The on-site commentator at the route center is Quincy Angus, who has never changed for thousands of years.

Miller smiled and said, "Poor Robert, Christine seems to have accepted her new identity very quickly. With her nature, it's not a good decision to include her in the witch group."

Barkley said with a smile: "Are you questioning Larch's ability?" Miller shook his shoulders: "No matter how powerful he is, it's a bit difficult to handle eight women in one go, right?"

"Haha, Reggie, you just had a bit of a slut/slut."

"Well, I admit that I was lewd/slutty just now."

Angus is not as relaxed as these two guys. Although Li Xing's various stupid actions off the court have caused a lot of trouble for their fans, he still has no brains to protect the calf: "As long as Laqi likes it, it will be fine." .”

"Damn, it's the first time I've seen all members of the Witch Squad." Stephenson and Pondexter, the two light bulbs, looked at the beautiful scenery in the center of the front row.

Once on the field, Li Xing was different from off the field. He greeted everyone in the witch troupe, and then stood in the center of the field.

"Larch, long time no see." Horford smiled.

Li Xing put on a straight face, showing a very cold look.

"I just don't understand, why do bird people like you have women to back up? They deserve better men!" Josh mocked.

Li Xing glanced at him: "Maybe it's because they are not interested in ugliness."

"Who the hell are you calling ugly!" Josh asked angrily.

Horford didn't want the anger Josh had ignited on him.

He turned to Josh and said, "JS, if you want to play against Luckey so much, I can change positions with you!"

"Okay! I'll change it with you!"

"You fucking don't move!"

Hawks coach Larry Drew yelled from the sidelines.

Josh was terrified, but he didn't move.

Horford secretly sighed for a mistake, if only he could change, he really didn't want to play against Li Xing.

Li Xing is too tall, and he beats him in every way. Every time the two fight, it reminds him of a certain day in the NCAA game where he and Noah were beaten by Oden with one hand.

However, the intensity brought by Li Xing was even more terrifying than that of Auden at that time.

Things have come to this, no matter how difficult it is, Horford has to bite the bullet. Who told him that he is only 208 cm, and who told him to play a center?
The referee walked to the middle, looked at the two, picked up the ball, and threw it up.

Li Xing's speed was very fast, and the moment the ball was thrown, he also jumped up.When the ball flew to the highest point, his finger immediately clicked and gave the ball to Calderon.

The Raptors' starting style is well-known all over the world-let Li Xing hit first.

The opponent was Horford, who was [-] meters tall, and Li Xing didn't need to keep his hand at all. This kind of small guy had to pinch him hard to let him know how important size is to a center forward.

This is the era. In the 90s, a player like Horford would not be able to survive without playing power forward.

So the question is, why does everyone like to play center forward?

Because the center has data.

Li Xing's body leaned against Horford, and he didn't do other fake moves. He really didn't care about the opponent's defense. With his height and wingspan, unless his vertical jump can reach 120 cm, he should go to the street.

Li Xing slammed into Horford's body. After finding the confrontation, the rhythm came. He turned around, exerted force with his left leg, bent his right leg, and sent a Nowitzki-style golden chicken independent turnaround jumper.

"Shh!"

"It's so easy! Lucky looks like no one is guarding him!"

Barkley directly bombarded Horford in the commentary: "I don't know what Al is thinking. If he can't put pressure on Larch from the beginning, Larch can score 50 points on top of him!"

Horford really wanted to take off his jersey and hang it on Barkley, and asked him to demonstrate how to put pressure on Li Xing with a height of just over two meters.

With your fucking height, you might not be able to reach Li Xing's face by jumping up with all your strength, so what the fuck is the pressure?

"Come on, give me the ball~~~~" Josh leaned on Bargnani and yelled.

Stephenson asked: "Is this guy insane? Why does he have to draw the end every time he speaks? Does he think his voice is charming?"

"Lance, don't try to understand the stupid pig, or you will be a stupid pig." Evans taught.

Josh is a player with many possibilities. He has shown the potential to become the best defensive player. His height, wingspan, speed and defensive sense are his innate talents, but he is particularly concerned about shooting.

The core of the problem is precisely that his shooting is unreliable, not at all.

Let Josh shoot a three-pointer, or let Horford beat Li Xing?

If you really have to choose between these two options, the Hawks and all the Hawks fans will unanimously choose to let Horford attack with pebbles and rocks.

Even if Josh immobilizes Banyanica, even if he gets to a deep position, he still has to prove himself with shooting.

I can shoot!
My shot is great!
He always hypnotized himself like this, and then hit a piece of bad iron. (A picturesque blacksmith is a good iron)

When he threw the first pitch on behalf of the team tonight, every teammate was hopeless.

"boom!"

"Ha! You want to hit me just for your offense? Don't you know that my defense is the best in the world?"

Bargnani grabbed the rebound wildly, looked up and laughed, as if he had blocked Michael Jordan's last attack.

"Who can tell Josh, please stop shooting!"

Barkley said jokingly: "The Eagles should add a clause of "[-] fine for making a blind shot on the court" to Josh's contract extension!"

"It's okay, Chuck, this clause is really necessary." Miller laughed.
