Chapter 233

From ancient times to the present, there is only one NBA point guard who is worth replacing with a Hall of Fame center. That is Magic Johnson of the Lakers, because he is tall enough to be used as a center forward.

Any other point guard is definitely not worth the value of a big center in this era of big ball. Later, regardless of the Warriors elementary school students, it is estimated that many NBA general managers would not want to trade him for Yao's name or the peak shark.

Historically, Billups spent the past two seasons in the Timberwolves. He is not considered a main force or a substitute. He played 20 minutes per game and scored more than 10 points, 2, 3 rebounds, 4, and 5 assists. Is a very ordinary point guard.

Billups in this time and space is definitely stronger than in history. Although his statistics are not much better than the Timberwolves in the same period, and his playing time is not much, his spirit is completely different, and his position as the main point guard is unbreakable.

The current Warriors' style of play is similar to the Suns running and bombing plus the Kings Princeton. Now that Yao Ming is here, there will inevitably be some shadows of the Lakers' Zen Master's triangle offense, which is a bit too high for the players.

The Warriors' offense is often not initiated by Billups. Unless the opponent's point guard is too short and weak, the Warriors will not force the point guard. McGrady organizes small forwards to attack the frame, which is easy to deal with most NBA teams.

After all, there are too few forwards and guards who can keep up with McGrady in this league. For most defensive players, McGrady can pass with a big stride. With the ball, as long as McGrady is on the field, it is definitely the best choice for him to organize the offense with high efficiency.

Then there are Jermaine O'Neal and Yao Ming in the paint, and the Warriors have another option, which is to give the ball to the players in the post for post-up singles. As long as the opponent has a defensive loophole in the 4th and 5th positions, Yao Ming and Jermaine O'Neal can stare at each other repeatedly. A certain player chisels.

Some power forwards and centers with strong offensive ability are often weak in confrontation and defense. There are really not many insiders with top offensive and defensive capabilities. They are definitely the cornerstone of every nba team. Refer to Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Peak Rain People Kemp, Garnett, of course, also include Yao Ming and Jermaine O'Neal.

Billups played against Kidd. Both sides have their own advantages on the defensive end and neither side suffers from the other. The offensive end is not the strength of both sides. Even if Kidd is older and more experienced, he is at most a little better than Billups at this stage. Absolutely limited.

Warriors rookie Shane Battier on the shooting guard side, and Kiddles on the net team. Although Battier is only a first-year rookie, his physical fitness and big-hearted defensive ability are here, and he will definitely not be inferior to his opponent. flat.

The small forward is sure that the Warriors McGrady is dominant, but Van Horn's height is there. Although he is not active in defense and his style of play is soft, Van Horn, who is known as the successor of Bird Bird in terms of scoring ability, has an excellent performance. Full-court shooting range and scoring ability are top-notch.

The growth potential of center Yao Ming is definitely better than that of Nets center McCloch, but he is also a first-year rookie, and he can't make a big hit in the first NBA season. There are not many Hall of Fame players who can make their debut. At least Yao Ming is not enough.

Then both the Warriors and the Nets focused on the power forward position. This position is very critical. Defense is an iron gate in the interior, and offense is also an important starting link.

"Okay, Kidd pushed forward, looked for Martin as usual, threw a pass, and passed the ball steadily to Kenyon Martin, who was behind the inside. Sharks, O'Neal is as good as any other inside player in the NBA."

"Martin's playing style is wild and passionate, but that doesn't mean he has no brains. O'Neal's defense is impeccable. He didn't force the shot, but returned the ball to his teammate point guard Kidd again, the brains and command of the Nets. There is only one officer, and that is Jason Kidd."

"Kidd broke through with the ball and attracted double-team firepower, then passed the ball to Van Horn in the last two seconds. The 2-meter thin Van Horn received the ball very comfortably. The difference between a first-class point guard and an ordinary point guard is not Teammates really don’t feel it deeply.”

"Van Horn made a slight adjustment on the outside line. He jumped up and made a three-point shot. McGrady stretched out his hand to make a symbolic defense. The ball missed and bounced out of the frame. Yao Ming got the rebound and the Warriors got the right to attack again."

"The Nets played very tenaciously in the first quarter. Even though they were very tired back to back, the whole team did not back down, actively defended and made decisive shots, and tied the Warriors at 25:25."

"In the second quarter, the two sides sent substitutes as usual, but the leading stars of the Nets, Martin and Kidd, did not have much rest time. Their substitutes were not reassuring. Halfway through the second quarter, they had to re-dress. The pain of few players."

"If an NBA team has 12 players who can play and have strong abilities, then teammates and coaches will feel very comfortable. Whoever feels hot in this game and who is in good condition can play more. After a while, it will not be possible for one person to play a certain position for more than 40 minutes. Only a few players can do this every game, such as the postman Malone Ironman AC Green."

"The starting five of the Nets are the top five players in their team's scoring list. Substitutes Williams, Collins, Harris, Dial and others are really difficult to compare with the starting lineup. Of course, center Collins performed well. At 7 feet, he's great in the paint and doesn't suffer against the Warriors' big men."

"As Yao Ming said, when the big shark O'Neill backs you, the continuous impact will give you a feeling of being hit head-on by a speeding locomotive, and the worst thing is that you can't dodge. We can only stand there solidly and act as a meat shield to withstand that terrible impact."

After playing against O'Neal, Yao Ming looked relaxed and happy when he came to play the two centers of the Nets. Yao Ming, who does not suffer physically, has obvious advantages in technology and golf quotient.

"Okay, Yao Ming, who came back to the court in the fourth quarter, is deep inside and has already entered the three-second zone. At this time, Yao Ming who received the ball cannot defend. Even if the big shark comes, he can't guard Yao Ming. Ming’s dreamy pace, the Sharks must have turned around and dunked without hesitation when dealing with such a ball, while Yao Ming looked elegant and calm, swaying left and turning right, and made a precise hit with an easy and small hook.”

"The Warriors firmly took the initiative in the first three quarters. No matter how the Nets counterattacked in the fourth quarter, the Warriors always took the initiative in their hands. Big Ben, Gasol, Randolph, Larry Hughes, Hu Dong, Also, Agent 0 Arenas, who made his debut in the NBA for the first time, played vigorously and bullied the Nets bench, which was very relaxing."

Gasol can be said to be the peak of his debut. In history, he averaged 17.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per game in the first NBA rookie season of the Grizzlies, and then maintained this performance for more than 10 years. Up a floor.

Until Verus crossed over, this gentleman was still playing in the NBA, with 3 years left in his contract, with an annual salary of 1600 million US dollars, and he had already played in the NBA for 20 seasons.
