Chapter 250
"For the Warriors, O'Neal jumps the ball, and Cato's jumping ability is very average, but now the NBA is scarce of strong big men, so Cato's annual salary this year is 605 million US dollars, and it will increase year by year in the next few years. A 7-foot man It is the goal that every nba club pursues."

"Arenas passed the ball to O'Neal, who was back inside. O'Neal, who is 2 meters tall, has incredible flexible feet. He didn't force Thomas with his back. The opponent weighed a lot more than him. O'Neal's height Dominant, dribbled the ball in the paint, stepped back and made a jumper, and the inside player played outside, which made Thomas helpless. There was a big height gap, the ball went into the net, and the Warriors took the lead in scoring 11:0."

"The Rockets' offense mainly consists of two points. The old cat Mobley and Thomas, who only cares about shooting, and Norris has good shooting ability, but he is not tall enough. Generally, he can only play catch-up shots. It cannot be said that there is no breakthrough ability, but his body is weak. Insufficient anti-jamming capability."

"The old cat Mobley has always been underestimated. People only see the brilliance of Francis, but they don't see Mobley's scoring ability and selfless dedication. In fact, from two-point shooting to three-pointers and free throws. In terms of basic indicators, Lao Mao is actually taller than Francis, but his shape and appearance are not suitable for becoming a big-name NBA star."

"Whether it is in the NBA or there, there will always be a situation where people are judged by their appearance. Even if a player with an average appearance plays well, it is difficult to become the star of an NBA team."

"Norris has the ball, the Rockets set up the offense, the old cat Mobley runs to the top of the circle for the ball, Kenny Thomas is already in place, he has a lot of weight, he can easily find comfortable post opportunities in the low post, the Rockets Other players stretch the weak side and create isolation opportunities for Thomas."

"O'Neal Jr. weighs far less than Thomas, but he is very strong. He firmly resists Thomas and prevents him from getting the ball in a deeper position. The inside players in the NBA are fighting hand-to-hand every night. Without strength and weight, it is difficult to sustain in the penalty area. Make a piece of the sky."

"Norris didn't choose to pass the ball to Thomas, but to the old cat Mobley. Passing to Thomas is equivalent to the completion of the offense. Everyone either waits for the serve or grabs a rebound. The probability of the ball being passed out is very small."

"The Rockets organize the offense patiently. Francis, the core of the team, is still sitting on the bench. Norris, who has had a rare chance to start in his career, must hope to perform well. No one wants to be a substitute in the major league of the NBA. The main starters and substitute playing time It's a lot worse, and the data must be a lot worse, and it will be a big difference when it is finally reflected in the next big contract."

Thomas has a stable mid-range scoring ability. No matter which team he goes to, he can get a middle-class or above big contract, and his annual salary will soon rise to more than 800 million. It can also be hundreds of millions.

And if it’s just a dispensable substitute, such as Norris and Williams, their annual salary is always hovering at the million-dollar level, and if they can’t play for a year or two, they may fall to the floor price and be sold out. , The total salary of the entire career is only about 1000 million, and the actual salary is even more pitiful. You must know that this is their entire lifetime income.

The situation of inside players will be better. For a big center like Cato, as long as he can play in a certain team and prove himself, he can ask for an annual salary close to tens of millions of dollars if he goes to any NBA team. But in the era of the four major centers, the nba is frantically pursuing big men.

"Mobley misses the jumper, Thomas grabs the offensive rebound and makes the second, and his big weight is a big advantage when fighting for rebounds, and the inside players are huddled together. Without a little weight, you can't hold the scene. "

"Hill made a breakthrough with the ball, which made the Warriors' home fans cheer and cheer. The former son of the god king has regained his glory today. Williams and Mobley of the Rockets are really difficult to guard against Grant Hill. Hill, Hill hit the inside and played very resolutely today, just like when he first entered the league, it feels unstoppable."

"The helpless Thomas came and fouled. Even if he was reluctant, he couldn't let Hill be unscrupulous on the Rockets basket. Hill made a shot before being blocked, the ball went into the net, and the penalty was added. 2+1, Hill made the free throw. , the Warriors lead 2:5."

"The Rockets' weak defense has decided that they want to prevent the joint attack of O'Neal and Hill, so they can only give up the outside contraction and use the strength of five people to resist the huge advantage of the Warriors' positions 3 and 4. This gives the Warriors Battier and Arenas wide open opportunities outside."

"Battier made a three-pointer and made it."

"Arenas made a three-pointer and it still hit."

"Hill shot a three-pointer from the outside, which made Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich frown. The Rockets will have no chance if they play like this. The inside is tough and the outside is sharp. The Rockets' defense is not good. It has to be sieved."

"Tang Shuai decisively called a timeout. He is also a famous NBA coach. Rudy has always been able to grasp the situation on the court. on the road."

"After the timeout, Francis, the core player of the Rockets' ace, finally made his debut. The Boss, who is good at breaking through and has excellent physical fitness, has many fans in the United States and China. His appearance aroused applause from the Warriors at home. Tang Shuai let Francis return to the game in advance. superior."

"In addition, Eddie Griffin replaced Williams, Kenny Thomas returned to the small forward position, and Griffin, who is 2 meters 08, played the power forward. Griffin's appearance was also a sensation."

"The best high school student in the United States, participated in the McDonald's All-Star Game, the best freshman in the United States in his freshman year, and is considered to be a strong contender for the No. , you can imagine the Rockets' expectations for him."

"The talented Griffin has superb physical fitness, scoring and grabbing rebounds is as easy as picking something out of a pocket. The Rockets are very patient with him. After the big dream, the Rockets have been quiet for a long time. Their boss and Tang Shuai must be violent to Griffin. full of expectation."

"However, the NBA has never been short of talented players. Really, there are not many who can become All-Stars in the end, let alone become superstars and Hall of Fame players. Such players not only rely on physical fitness, but also need strong physical fitness. Spiritual quality and perseverance, the right time, place and people are indispensable."
