Chapter 171 Pre-match warm-up

Compared to Barkley's straightforwardness, the other two were a little ambiguous.

Especially Reggie Miller, as the banner of Indiana basketball, naturally supports Indiana-produced NBA stars.

"I think Mero is obviously better from the data," said Reggie Miller. "But we all know that statistics are deceptive in many cases, and the positioning of the two in the team is obviously different."

"Merro is a pure scorer, and Lee plays more of the playmaker in the team, which somewhat conceals his scoring talent."

"In fact, we all know that Lee has many scoring methods, including back-playing, three-pointers, pick-and-rolling with the ball, and moving without the ball... He is almost versatile in these skills, and his scoring efficiency is higher than that of Mero."

"If you don't consider the salary space and transfer the two from their respective teams, I believe that Lee can also complete the scoring task that Mero will do well, but if you put the Melon in the Timberwolves, he will definitely not be able to lead the Timberwolves last season to win 40 wins."

Although Miller's words did not clearly indicate who is stronger or who is weak, the meaning of the expression was already very obvious.

Li Rong can do things Anthony can do, but the abilities that Li Rong has are not good at.

"I think the two are at the same level at the moment," Kenny Smith said. "Even the team's structure is not much different. It's hard to tell who is better. Melon has higher scores, but Li Rong's rebounds, assists, steals, and defensive abilities that cannot be reflected in the data are all above Mero. So, the conclusion is obvious that Mero is a super scorer, while Li Rong is more comprehensive, and the two are currently in a good match."

Melon's defense has always been criticized. He has a talented body, but his defensive attitude has always been criticized.

In addition to being a careless single defense, it is a mess to assist in defense and cover around the cover.

And what about Li Rong?

In terms of single defense ability, both defense of the third and fourth positions are extremely excellent.

The assistant defense capabilities are even more expert-level as Bathir.

At the same time, Li Rong was also the commander of the Timberwolves' defense.

How many times did Li Rong be able to keenly judge the opponent's offensive intention as soon as his opponent's offensive tactics were activated and promptly reminded his teammates.

He currently ranks first in the league's steals per game, and the others on the rankings are basically defenders.

The most important thing is that Li Rong almost never loses position on the defensive end.

In other words, his steal data was completed only after judging the opponent's offensive tactics 100%.

Once Li Rong succeeds in stealing on the court, with his fast breaking ability, his opponent is basically unable to stop the Timberwolves' counterattack except for fouls, and these steals are almost transformed into scoring.

This is a very terrible thing.

And defense is one of the most inconceivable personal abilities that data cannot reflect.

Defense won’t deceive you, this is Li Rong’s favorite sentence.

Sometimes the offense may occasionally be unstable due to hand feel and other problems, but the defense will not.

That's why the Lord of the Rings said that only by winning the box office when offense wins the box office, defense can win the championship.

To count all the championship-winning teams in league history, there may be teams with poor offense, but absolutely no team that can't defend.

Li Rong has been a defensive player since the first day he entered the league. Since he played against the Kings last season to defend Artest, people have recognized his contribution on the defensive end.

This is something Anthony cannot match.

...

Except for Anthony and Kenyon Martin, the diggers have made adjustments to the other three starting positions this summer.

They traded Cambi in the offseason and straightened Nene as the team's starting center.

Nene is a strong and fast big man, good at running, able to shoot and finish offense, excellent passes, excellent defensive pick-and-roll, and excellent rebounds and blocks.

Moreover, he is also a passionate player, which is very encouraging to the team's morale on the court.

The starting shooting guard is Dengtai Jones, a 3D player with excellent defensive skills.

Point guard Mike Bibby is a good organizational guard with both offense and defense, and a commander with a strong overall perspective.

As soon as he stepped onto the arena, Li Rong appreciated the "enterprise" of the home audience of Pepsi Center.

"Boy yellow-skinned boy! Go back to China! This is not the place you should stay!"

"Merro will beat you up!"

"You are not worthy of the All-Star starter!"

...

The player's passage is only a dozen meters away, and Li Rong doesn't know how many sentences he has been criticized.

Li Rong has long been calm about these things outside the arena.

However, compared with other home courts, Denver fans obviously hate Li Rong as an opponent even more.

A guy who came out of nowhere actually snatched the All-Star starting position of their favorite "Melon", which is simply the biggest joke of this century.

Faced with the audience's enthusiasm, Li Rong naturally did not want to be outdone: "You silly, I will ride on your neck tonight to shit!"

Since college, it has become Li Rong's interest in daily games. For some reason, the more he goes to such a home game full of hatred, the more excited Li Rong becomes.

His favorite thing is to keep these people shut up with a series of goals.

McHale was speechless at Li Rong's slightest eyes. This kid is so similar to Bird.

Even the slightest thing is exactly the same.

Logically speaking, after Li Rong signed the new sneaker contract, he is now a billionaire of tens of millions. He needs to have the same knowledge as these people?

Of course he didn't know that this was just Li Rong adding some fun to the game.

McHale usually turns a blind eye to such things.

Anyway, with Li Rong's IQ, he would not say too much.

When he returned to his hometown to play, Billups' expression on his face became much more serious, and he didn't pay much attention to the verbal confrontation between Li Rong and the fans on the sidelines.

But Jordan, behind Li Rong, looked at Li Rong with awe.

I thought the boss was too tough and had already competed with the fans before the game started.

Jordan Jr. was the fourth player to play next with Li Rong. He will be the first starter in his career in this game.

Before this game, McDace had knee aches again. The team decided to give the veteran a rest out of conservative considerations.

McHale ordered Jordan Jr. to start, which was a reward for his outstanding performance in the first two games.
