Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 263 183 [Continued confrontation]

"Other than that, I think we really need to re-examine Luka Doncic, this young guy from Slovenia, this season has far exceeded people's overdue, even in terms of performance in this game. , I don’t think he’s worse than Chris Paul, whether it’s the scene or the statistics.”

"But is Chris Paul bad? Not bad. He is one of the best point guards in the league in the last ten years. We don't expect the first-year Luka Doncic to be comparable to Chris Paul, but as long as he can If you become the most reliable helper around Bayonet in the playoffs, then this team can really win the championship this season.”

"Taking a step back, even if the Dallas Mavericks failed to hit the O'Brien Cup this season, they have a promising future. The 22-year-old Bayonet, the 20-year-old Luka Doncic, think about the future of the Mavericks, and you will feel that How scary, for Mark Cuban, there is a real possibility that he will have a dynasty in the next few years, just like the Golden State Warriors before him”

In the TNT live broadcast room, Shaq O'Neal is the only player who has stayed in the dynasty team during his career, and he was even one of the founders of the original Lakers dynasty.

He knows how difficult it is to establish a dynasty in an alliance of strong men, but he also knows what is most needed to establish a dynasty.

What is most needed is potential.

Just like the self in his prime and Kobe Bryant, who is beautiful and delicious.

Even so, it took him two or three seasons of struggle before the dynasty took shape.

In O'Neal's eyes, the combination of Jiang Hao + Luka Doncic is very similar to the combination of him and Kobe in the past.

"Of course, I would say that this is the small ball era. If it was our era, even if the combination of Bayonet + Luka Doncic has potential, it may be difficult to win the championship."

Then Shaq O'Neal said.

In Shaquille O'Neal's view, there is still a certain difference between today's basketball style and his era.

In his era, if a team wanted to build a championship lineup, the standard configuration was a super insider + a super shooting guard.

This is why he and Kobe were able to successfully win three consecutive championships.

It was an era of inside centers, an era when shooting guards dominated the backcourt, so Shaq O'Neal, Yao Ming, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and super insiders such as Dirk Nowitzki emerged, so there emerged Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter and other super shooting guards.

With the advent of the small ball era, today's league has already switched to another mode. For a team that wants to win the championship, super insiders + super shooting guards are no longer standard configurations. , Super small forward + super point guard.

That's why a top small forward represented by LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, and Paul George, and a group of small forwards headed by Stephen Curry, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving emerged. Strength point guard.

And doesn't the duo configuration of Jiang Hao + Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks fit this point?

As long as these two people work together for a longer period of time, they will definitely follow the trend and achieve good results.

That's Shaquille O'Neal's opinion, and he's pretty sure of it.

"I basically agree with Shaquille O'Neal's point of view, but in fact, this pair is already showing their power and dominance. To be honest, as far as the current situation is concerned, I don't think anyone can stop them in the playoffs. "

"At least not in the West, the Golden State Warriors would have had a chance, but they lost Kevin Durant, which greatly reduced their strength on the front line"

"So, what I want to say is that the Toronto Raptors in the East is what I think is the biggest obstacle for the Dallas Mavericks in the championship, because they have Kyle Lowry + Kawhi Leonard. combination"

Charles Barkley's remarks are a bit bold, and his boldness is that he directly ignores the West of Purgatory!
But it must also be admitted that his statement is more or less justified.

On the court, the second quarter has already started. Compared with the first quarter, Jiang Hao started to show his strength on the offensive end as soon as the second quarter started. For him, he has not been so full on the offensive end for a long time recently. went all out.

This also shows his determination, that is tonight's game, he will win no matter what, his goal is to score as many points as possible on the basis of leading the team to victory, because he is indeed very good He cares about the honor of scoring champion, he doesn't want to be surpassed by James Harden.

The so-called scorer who doesn't want to be the scoring champion is not a good scorer, Jiang Hao thinks this is probably the reason.

Perhaps because of the same thoughts as Jiang Hao, James Harden continued to maintain enough aggressiveness on the offensive end in the second quarter.

In this case, the situation on the field in the entire second quarter is very clear, that is, the scoring battle between the bayonet and James Harden.

The two of them didn't even choose to rest throughout the second quarter, and both went all out to show off their arsenal.

This made watching the fans very enjoyable.

When everyone was amazed at James Harden's skillful step-back shot, they were also impressed by the bayonet's ability to take turns to take out various scoring methods as a rookie.

For example, at the 8th minute and 24th second of the second quarter, when the Dallas Mavericks had possession of the ball, Jiang Hao actually completed a very difficult reverse pull-bar layup under the basket against two defensive players from the Houston Rockets.

Frankly speaking, after Jiang Hao finished the scoring action, he also exclaimed many people in an instant. Many people said that they saw the shadow of the basketball god Michael Jordan from Jiang Hao's reverse pulling action just now.

After all, when the basketball god was at his peak, he was good at pulling the bar reversely for layups under the basket.

While Jiang Hao and James Harden continued to run wild on the offensive end, both sides scored 30+ points in a single quarter throughout the second quarter.

Of course, for the home fans, their mood is relatively better. After all, the team still beat the Houston Rockets by 10 points throughout the second quarter.

In other words, at the end of the first two quarters, the Dallas Mavericks not only evened the point difference, but also took a 2-point lead.

Although the 2-point lead seems insignificant, don't forget that after the first quarter, they were 8 points behind. Now they can lead, even if it is 1 point, it will be a good thing for the next game. information.
