Chapter 265 Tactics to survive the old man

"The Suns are really lucky."

"If they can get the No. 1 pick, they will probably become a strong opponent of the Lakers next season."

"Before they traded Kidd away, I thought their general manager was a fool. Now it seems that this fool's luck is really good."

Iverson sighed.

Kongbu was convinced and agreed very much with these words.

The history of the Suns team is that there have often been some transactions that clearly seemed to be a loss, but after the loss, they were immediately "compensated."

For example, getting a high pick in the draft, selecting a super-quality rookie, or picking up a superstar for nothing in the free market.

This time, their luck was extraordinary, and they got a super No. 1 pick that was rated by experts as valuable enough to rank among the top three in history.

After the No. 1 pick is signed, combined with the Suns' existing lineup, they can turn around immediately.

The reason why the Suns have a poor record this season is because Nash and boxing champion Chandler were injured one after another, and the two barely played together.

"It's good for UAE to go to the Suns. At least Nash is a good team boss."

"No one will bully Ah Lian until he is fully grown up."

Yao Ming is also very satisfied with the Suns winning the No. 1 pick.

Of course, Combu also thinks it's good. The UAE's style is still very suitable for bombardment tactics. When Mike D'Antoni takes charge of the Suns in a few years, this team will become the league's top team.

…

"Kong, you are too insidious."

Old Thomas led his team to Philadelphia for an away game. The first thing he said after meeting Kongbu was that he was confused.

"What should I say? Old guy, did you take the wrong medicine?" Kongbu asked curiously.

"In order to prevent the Knicks from getting Yi Jianlian, you deliberately let him participate in the draft early, right?"

"Because you know very well that if we can get him, our Knicks will become a super giant that has won at least ten consecutive championships."

"No matter what lineup you form, you will never be our opponent."

As Old Thomas talked, he started to fantasize.

Kongbu looked at Lao Deng, whom he had known for five years, speechless in his heart, and began to dream in broad daylight.

"I remember your contract is about to end? Dolan didn't prepare a contract extension for you?" Kongbu had no choice but to change the subject and continue talking about Yi Jianlian. Lao Deng might not know what he would say.

"Of course I mentioned it, but I didn't agree."

"He wanted to give me a four-year contract worth 40 million US dollars, which is too cheap for my ability."

"I want to discuss the contract extension with him after winning the championship this season. If I can win the championship, I can at least ask for a four-year contract worth 60 million US dollars."

Lao Deng was so confident that he thought the Knicks were destined to win the championship this year.

With an average annual salary of 10 million, in today's league, it is already second only to Kong Bu, but Lao Deng is still not satisfied.

But there is nothing wrong with his operation. Even if he doesn't win the championship, James Dolan will definitely still have to give him an annual salary of tens of millions.

The main reason is that he is now bound to Da Zhi, and the relationship between the two is too good to be true. That is to say, Lao Deng's daughter is not very good-looking, otherwise he will definitely have to kiss Da Zhi one after another, and completely destroy her.

Dazhi strapped himself into his chariot.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.

Amid the cheers of the Philadelphia fans at the scene, the starting players of both sides began to take the stage.

The two teams can be considered old rivals. They have been traded countless times in the past two years, and neither team's lineup has made much changes.

The Knicks have Zhi Payton as the core inside and outside, while the Philadelphia 76ers have Yao Ai as the core. Both sides have lineups that know the basics.

Last season, Kongbu felt that the reason why he and the Knicks reached the tiebreaker was partly because of Stern's favoritism, which gave the Knicks a lot of whistles.

On the other hand, the strength gap between the two sides is really not that big.

The situation is different this season. Combs is confident that with Stern's favor, he can easily defeat this New York Knicks.

In the first offensive round, Da Zhi succeeded with a jump ball and the Knicks began to attack.

Payton slowly controlled the ball and reached the frontcourt. Iverson stared at Payton, waiting for Payton's next move and did not rush to make a gambling steal.

Facing these extremely experienced old monster point guards, it is not cost-effective to gamble on steals. Once these old monsters discover the flaw, there will definitely be no good results.

Da Zhi took the initiative to pull out of the paint, moved up to the high post, and set a pick-and-roll for Payton.

When Payton jumped up to take a shot, he passed the ball to Da Zhi again.

Da Zhi took the ball, took a step forward, and shot a mid-range shot right in front of Randolph.

"Whoosh!"

An easy hit and the Knicks got off to a good start.

The Knicks' style of play on the court is a bit like the Jazz, with the No. 1 and No. 4 picking and rolling each other.

Although the relationship between Combs and the Jazz is very tense, and he has never given Jazz coach Jerry Sloan any good looks, he recognizes the Jazz's warrior system very much.

The Jazz's lineup has never been very strong. After the retirement of mammoth Mark Eaton, the best teammate that has ever appeared beside Utah's two evil players is national father-in-law Hornacek.

In fact, Hornacek's overall combat ability is not much better than Dell Curry.

With such a lineup, the Jazz can always be among the top players in the Western Conference. Jerry Sloan's tactics definitely played a huge role.

And Jazz tactics have also influenced many teams in the league today, such as the Spurs, and even the shadow of Jazz tactics can be found in the Golden State Warriors' championship period.

Basically, Popovich stole plays from Jerry Sloan, and then Steve Kerr stole plays from Popovich.

They stole back and forth, but the Jazz that was stolen from them never won the championship.

Old Thomas was also stealing, but unfortunately his style of play was a bit wasteful. After all, the Knicks' lineup was much better than the Jazz at the time.

It's the Philadelphia 76ers' offensive possession.

After Iverson controlled the ball in the frontcourt, he didn't take any action. He just controlled the ball in all kinds of fancy ways, slipping away Payton.

It's obvious that we are going to start using the old man's tactics.

This is not Kongbu's arrangement, but Iverson's experience gained from playing against Payton in the past two years.

Payton can be regarded as a typical representative of the NBA's iron man, but to tell the truth, he is now an old man who is nearly thirty-five years old.

If Iverson keeps running, Payton has to keep following him. What's even worse is that when Iverson changes directions, Payton also has to change directions, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

It's okay if it's just physical energy consumption. When changing direction, it not only consumes a lot of physical energy, but also puts a lot of burden on the knees and ankles.

Among the players in NBA history who like to play outside, none has a very long peak career, and Iverson is no exception.

After slipping away from Payton for more than ten seconds, Iverson passed the ball to Reggie Miller with a smile.

Miller has already completed 400 three-pointers during the regular season. Now there is no need to keep shooting three-pointers. With the help of Gerrard's pick-and-roll, he hit the mid-range shot.

"Young man, are you happy to win in this way?"

Of course, Payton saw Iverson's intention to stay with the old man, and said angrily.

"You defeated Jordan in this way and won the championship. Were you happy?"

"I remember when you won your first championship with the Raptors, you were so happy that you were so happy."

With one sentence, Iverson slapped Payton so hard that he couldn't speak again.

In Payton's first season with the Raptors, he relied on old man tactics to lower Jordan's shooting percentage, and then successfully helped the Raptors win the championship, and he also won the first championship trophy in his career.

.

Now that there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, what happened to Jordan, the master of suffering, happened again to him.

The verbal duel on the court is not limited to the No. 1 position.

Houston and Miller were also talking trash to each other.

After the old Miller made the mid-range shot, Houston immediately said, "Reggie, even if you win the championship this year, it doesn't have much gold content. You are not even ranked in the top five in the value ranking of all players in Philadelphia."

"You don't care if I have any gold content, at least it's better than you having no way of winning the championship."

"I almost forgot, you are not only unable to win the championship, but your reputation is also ruined. Every time you go to play in Detroit, the boos you receive can shatter the ceiling."

"But I am different. Even if I leave the Pacers, every time I return to the Pacers, the fans still give me warm applause and cheers."

"Son, this is the difference between you and me."

Old Miller's trash talk is still the same routine, exposing people's scars.

Houston was once a Pistons player, and he and Grant Hill were known as the Detroit Twins. Unfortunately, he later yearned for a prosperous metropolis like New York, and the Knicks also gave him a lot of money, so he abandoned Hill and the Pistons, and joined

Knicks.

Even after so many years, even if Hill has left the Pistons, as long as Houston goes to the Pistons to play away games, the fans at the scene will scold him for eighteen generations.
