NBA: Starting Reward Ryota Kise

Chapter 255 The battle for the first power forward

The second round of the playoffs is all over. Originally, people should be discussing the finals of the East and West, but many media have focused their attention on the eliminated players.

That player is Olajuwon.

Olajuwon performed very strongly at the beginning of the series. He was able to win the game at the Jazz's home court. The biggest contributor was Olajuwon. However, in the most crucial sixth game, it was also Olajuwon. Wangla's performance ruined the Rockets.

Olajuwon's performance was too stretched. At the end, he first made a mistake and conceded the ball, and then failed to score. He wasted the opportunity in vain. The Rockets could have won the game and won this crucial game. The game dragged the game to a tiebreaker.

When the Rockets were leading 2-1, many people thought that the Rockets could win the game, but no one expected that the Rockets would be overturned by the Jazz.

01 The final winner was Karl Malone. Olajuwon lost, not only the game, but also the fame, and was criticized by the media to a low point.

"The Most Waterfront"

"Houston's Greatest Shame"

Olajuwon is very angry that the former hero is now so evaluated by the media.

There are more and more articles with these titles, and many of them are from Houston. It seems that the fans of Houston and their players are very disappointed. Even though Olajuwon has gone home to see the children, the media still Didn't give up the chance to whip him.

Sometimes playing is like this, you played very well in the first few games, but in the key game you made a mistake, because your team lost, then maybe your previous performance will be forgotten, people only think about your last 's mistakes.

This has to be said, very cruel and very realistic, the fans are so clear about love and hate.

It's mainly because Olajuwon's performance is not up to expectations, you don't need to give you a chance, look at the critical moments, compare the data of Olajuwon and Karl Malone, people will find that Malone almost blew Olajuwon .

In this way, Malone began to let himself go. Malone is now full of self-confidence. He feels that he is the number one in the league. It doesn't matter who comes, he is the number one.

Don't panic, I'll take care of Malone. When talking to his teammates, Barkley said that he has been looking forward to this game for a long time. Compared with the Rockets, he prefers to play the Jazz. Malone always calls himself the No. 1 power forward in the league, even this season. Barkley entered for a while, Malone still declared that he is the league's first power forward.

This time, Barkley decided to completely beat Karl Malone on the inside.

Barkley and Malone are two people who disagree with each other. Barkley was the No. 5 pick in the 1984 Diamond Session, and Karl Malone was the No. 13 pick in 1985. Just looking at the pick, Barkley is stronger, and the two entered the league. The time is almost the same, the peak period almost overlaps, and now they are all in the peak period. In fact, this kind of contest can better see who is stronger and who is weaker.

Judging from the record of more than 30 games in the past, Barkley is a complete disadvantage.

Because the two are the leaders of their respective teams and play the same position, there are many opportunities for confrontation. Judging from the records of past regular season matches, the team led by Malone will win the team led by Barkley. , 21 wins in 33 games, averaging 23.7 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

The shooting percentage can reach 51.6%.

On the other hand, Barkley's data is a bit unsatisfactory. Barkley averaged only 18.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and the shooting percentage was 46.8%. The other data is also quite good, more comprehensive, but the players are most afraid of comparison, compared with Malone, Barkley's score was completely destroyed by Malone, Malone is 5 points more than him, and the other Item data Malone is also very comprehensive, which shows that Malone not only has the upper hand in team data but also has the upper hand in personal data.

Not only data, but also high-level data such as hit rate, Malone also has an advantage, so Malone has always been unconvinced by Barkley.

Every time Malone confronts Barkley, he can arouse a lot of anger, and every time Barkley is stunned, he believes that this time is no exception.

In fact, Malone still has a trace of jealousy in his heart. He is jealous of Barkley now. He is jealous that Barkley has such a good teammate. Barkley's performance this season is obvious to all. He Malone is neither blind nor fool, he knows why Barkley This season has improved so much because of the addition of Lin Tianhui to the Suns. Lin Tianhui revitalized the team and also revitalized Barkley.

Barkley may have passed his peak this season, but the appearance of Lin Tianhui has extended his peak. In the past, Barkley was always required to stand up and confront the enemy at critical moments in the past to find opportunities, but now it is critical. At the moment, he just needs to get into position and fight for rebounds, or wait for Lin Tianhui's good pass to score the ball. Now it's much easier.

In addition to jealousy and anger, Malone is himself. This season is obviously also very good, and the team is still second in the West. If you look at the data alone, he is indeed not as good as Barkley, but 553 is Barkley. Because Lin Tianhui led him, and Ma Long completely relied on his own efforts.

Malone felt that the spot should belong to him, not to Barkley, so Malone's heart has been simmering, and he wants to teach Barkley a hard lesson on the stage of the Western Conference finals.

It can be said that the two of them thought of going together, and Barkley also wanted to use this game to prove that he came here by strength, not only by others.

As long as he defeats Malone, then the position of the league's No. 1 power forward will belong to him 100%. This is Barkley's chance. If Barkley is defeated by Malone, then the discussion about him this season will be the first in the league. For the striker's throne, there must be some injustice for his place in the best first team.

It's like a lot of people now say that the first player in the league is Lin Tianhui, that's because Lin Tianhui defeated Jordan in the game facing Jordan, not only the individual, but the team also won, so what Barkley has to do now is to The performance of the individual beat Malone, and at the same time let the team beat the Jazz to enter the finals.

At that time, when Barkley completely relied on his outstanding performance to let the Jazz go home, that time will really be when Barkley ascends to the throne of the league's No. 1 power forward.
