NBA Big Devil: I rule the league with defense

Chapter 164 The Ruthless Man of the 90s - Charles Oakley

The first game after the All-Star Game is against the Toronto Raptors at home!

Both starting lineups: PG: Alvin Williams, SG: Vince Carter, SF: Maurice Peterson, PF: Jerome Williams, C: Antonio Davis.

PG: Andre Miller, SG: Allen Iverson, SF: Han Mo, PF: Wang Zhizhi, C: Todd McLoach

This year's Raptors played extremely poorly due to Vince Carter's injury. It was already the end of February. This team, which was able to steadily enter the playoffs last year, only won an embarrassing 2 wins this season. 16 losses. Although this result is not enough to securely compete for the No. 37 pick, the top five picks in the draft obviously cannot escape.

The All-Star starter in his prime to lead the team to the No. [-] pick?This is untrue.

Therefore, after the opening, the Raptors played very proactively and very targeted.

Although the Raptors are an outside-oriented team, they actively looked for Antonio Davis at the beginning of the game.

Let this retiring veteran use his experience to bully the young insiders of the 76ers.

Todd McLoach, the young white insider, came to the 76ers last season through Mutombo's trade. The 76ers hoped that he could become a new, young defensive pillar, but unfortunately, Mike Rock has a good static condition, but the lack of dynamic talent determines that he cannot take on a more important role.

Antonio Davis tricked Mike Lodge into losing his center of gravity with a simple fake shot, and then the veteran wiped his body and easily hit the cricket!

hit!

Everyone is a professional team, the worse you are inside, the more you will be caught inside!

Allen Iverson held the ball from the outside, took a simple dribble, and immediately stopped and shot!

Miss!

Mike Lodge was stuck behind Antonio Davis with his body, and the faster Jerome Williams successfully received the rebound and sent it to Vince Carter in the frontcourt!

Vince Carter leaps high up front!

Basket abuse!

"If Mike Lodge can't even handle the 35-year-old Antonio Davis, how can he play the next game?" Larry Brown had a headache.

There is no hope of Yao Ming's comeback in the regular season, but the regular season is to be played after all. We can't really let the 40-year-old Charles Oakley be the starting center, right?

After a quarter of adapting to the game, Mike Rocky finally found some sense of the game when he played again in the second quarter. Although he was lacking in skills, in terms of body, he was still able to overwhelm the short insider of the Raptors them.

With a weight of 128 kg, he can easily squeeze these lightweight insiders, grab rebounds smoothly, and gradually form a cooperation with outside shooters.

When the inside line gained a firm foothold, the strength of the 76ers, which was already more than one level higher than the Raptors, was gradually revealed during the game. To hit the basket, Wang Zhizhi and Aaron McGee's mid-range and long-range jumpers can be successfully used!

97: 110!

The 76ers finally took the game with a 13-point advantage!

But this does not mean that the 76ers' internal problems do not exist. In the next game, facing the Chicago Bulls with BabyShark, Eddie Curry directly scored a career-high 40 points, leading the Bulls to the 76ers. The Humans lost a 15-point game!

When Mike Lodge couldn't even hold down the opponent's weight, it was really meaningless to exist on the court. Larry Brown felt that tying a wooden stake inside might be much better than his effect!

In the game, Eddie Curry can even turn around and throw away Mike Lodge and Wang Zhizhi who are surrounding him at the same time, and then make a turnaround jump shot 2+1!

The next afternoon, Charles Oakley and Glen Rice were finally able to participate in joint practice.

This season, Glenn Rice didn't get many opportunities with the Rockets this season, but this doesn't mean that the veteran has declined significantly.

In fact, this season, he averaged 20 minutes of playing time per game, and his three-point shots accounted for 40%. He shot 4.1 three-pointers and hit 1.6, with a hit rate as high as 39%!

Regardless of shooting percentage or production, they were in the first echelon in the 2002-2003 season. Many teams couldn't even produce a three-point shooter of this level.

Also in the 2002-2003 season.

The three-point king Ray Allen averaged 6.6 three-pointers per game and hit 2.6 three-pointers.

The aging Reggie Miller averaged 4.5 three-pointers per game and made 1.6 three-pointers.

Kobe Bryant takes 4 1.5-pointers per game and makes [-]

The arrival of Glenn Rice also means that the Philadelphia 76ers finally have a true three-point shooter.

But the shortcomings are also obvious. Glenn Rice's old age did not affect his sight on the offensive end, but it made him lose the ability to move laterally on the defensive end. He can still rely on one-on-one defense against players with limited athletic ability. The body goes to the top, but when facing players who may be skilled or athletic, you can only use your eyes to do the maximum defense.

But Charles Oakley, who was so old that his hair was graying, brought Han Mo an unexpected surprise.

In the training match, when Charles Oakley, as the center of the substitute team, faced the inside twin towers composed of Wang Zhizhi and Mike Rocky, he used his steel-like body to sternly press the two big men to the ground. Below him, even in this kind of intra-team game, Oakley pressed Mike Rocky's body almost parallel to the ground during the process of getting stuck.

Coleman's ferocity still has a touch of slickness, but Oakley is simply synonymous with ferocity. This 90s inside meat grinder has a chilling temperament as long as he plays.

When Han Mo was almost crippled by Oakley's iron elbow when he broke into the inside line, he had to remind: "Brother, your own people, don't shoot!"

Oakley smiled and said, "Rookie, this is the NBA!"

Coleman said with lingering fear, "My lord, you are really ruthless!"

In the last few games in February, Oakley successfully squeezed Mike Lodge out of the starting lineup and formed a new inside combination with Wang Zhizhi.

In terms of statistics, he is not better than Mike Lodge, or even worse, so it is difficult for the aged Oakley to even eat cakes at the basket, and in terms of rebounds, he is only on par with Mike Lodge.

But the effect on the field, but before Yao Ming comes back, Charles Oakley is worthy of a starter!
