Chapter 120 The Four Quarterbacks(1/2)
The New York Knicks' away game against Houston Mosaics is also a focus battle that many Chinese fans are very concerned about.
Dayao and Shen Feng.
He can be said to be a representative figure in the minds of Chinese fans, one in front and one in the back.
In fact, if you have to calculate this, Yi Jianlian was even more powerful than Chen Feng when he entered the alliance.
After all, before Shen Feng was selected, he had no momentum. Xiaobai, who was different from "professional" people like Yao and Yi Jianlian, no one paid attention to Chen Feng, and no one cared about him, and his draft pick was not as high as Yi Jianlian, but the final effect was better than Yi Jianlian.
It’s not that Yi Jianlian was not good at the beginning, but that Chen Feng is so good now... so good that some people have already said that Chen Feng’s performance is better than Yao Yao’s?
This is not a "big rebellious word".
And since the two players have played, they must be put together to talk.
Don’t you see that Yi Jianlian’s fans are no longer tenable?
It’s because Chen Feng was too popular that he stole all the limelight from Yi Jianlian…
Yi Jianlian's fans don't know how to praise Yi Jianlian. After all, no matter where you look at it, Shen Feng's performance is so good now, so good that it is so good.
Yi Jianlian was completely unable to compare with him.
Then Yi Jianlian can't compare, Yao Yao can always do it.
But when talking with Yao, it was Chen Feng's fans who were the swollen faces and pretended to be fat.
Who is Yao?
That is the pillar in the minds of countless Chinese fans, a figure like a stabilizing needle.
And his performance in the league is not bad, even very good. According to domestic fans, he just punches O'Neal in South Mountain and Howard in North Sea...
Yao Yao is the league's number one center.
Even for Chen Feng himself, Yaoyao is not just a name, but a giant. Yaoyao's status in China is the same as Jordan's status in the United States.
No matter how Kobe or James are, you will be able to compare with Jordan, and someone will definitely scold you...
Why scold you?
Because everyone thinks you are not qualified!
These people are naturally their fans and supporters, but they are still worse than this panic.
Why is this short of it?
The times are different!
You said that the Yangtze River waves push the previous waves, and the previous waves die on the beach.
But no matter what, you later generations always stand on the shoulders of your predecessors to see the world.
You can never refute this.
That represents an era.
Just like Yao.
Even if Chen Feng really makes a famous name in the future, wins the championship, MVP, and leads the national team to achieve what kind of results, everyone will only say that you are making innovations, and will not say that you are above Yaoyao.
When did Yao Yao come from?
Can that time be the same as this time?
no the same!
Not counting the previous roughly, Yao Yao is a pioneer to some extent.
No matter how many honors Chen Feng has, he cannot surpass Yao, not to mention that there are no honors yet, he just achieved some results.
Of course, Chen Feng himself never thought of comparing with Yao Yao.
First of all, this thing has no meaning, and secondly, can you change it by paying so much attention?
It can't be changed either.
......
And back to the upcoming game.
This season, people now have very low expectations for mosaics. Even if McGrady returns, can you believe that they can still replicate the legend of 22 consecutive victories that has never been seen in several years?
The loopholes in the center position of the mosaic will make it very difficult for them to execute many tactics. You should know that after Yao Yao was injured, the rock-solid "African Mountain" Mutombo was topped by the rock-solid "African Mountain". Uncle Mu's defense has been unique in the league for several years to allow Mosaic to perfectly execute the "one grab and four shots". Now, the only thing that Mosaic can top at the beginning of the season is Hayes. The gap between him and Mutombo can actually be seen from his height.
As for David Anderson, he is indeed a good choice for Yaoyao to replenish the inside firepower when he is not here, but it is difficult for him to ensure everything this team needs to change offense like Yaoyao and Uncle Mu in defense.
What did espn say at the beginning of the season?
The center position of Mosaic will become the first choice for opponents to attack in the new season. At that time, the Warriors, Knicks and other teams can play positional battles with Mosaic, or enter the penalty area and score.
Both the Warriors and the Knicks can play positional battles with the mosaics...
This is definitely not a good thing, because these two teams are notoriously weak inside.
Of course, excluding the center position, the other four positions of the Mosaic are still very outstanding. Scola, Ariza, Bathir and Bru, they have both offense and defense. If McGrath returns, the team's offense and defense in these four positions can still maintain considerable competitiveness, but these are not enough to make up for the shortcomings of the center position. After a team that is used to tactics around the center, they suddenly lose the center, they are afraid that they don't know how to grab the rebound...
Of course, the second lineup of the mosaic is good.
It was precisely the Mosaic's second team that was quite good. Lowry and Landry performed stably and capable in the preseason. Bardinger is a good shooter. With the help of one or two main players, they may make up for some of the debts owed by the starting lineup on the court.
However, it is not easy for such a mosaic to break out in the West, unless McGrady recovered her two-time scoring champion and was invited by Kobe to train with him in summer. In fact, even if the mosaic has such a mosaic, it is not easy for this mosaic to get a playoff spot now. For details, please refer to the Warriors two years ago and the Suns last year.
At the beginning of the season, Yao Yao was reimbursed for the season, McGrady did not make a regular comeback, and Arte and Ariza swapped their clubs. Therefore, many basketball critics who claim to be senior have made a conclusion that the Mosaic won at most 20 wins in the West and was at the bottom!
I think that Mosaic doesn't even have an average scorer and can give up the whole season and compete for a high pick. Finally, the new season has begun. The mosaic boys did not perform as slumped as some "experts" thought. They fought with the Lakers in overtime and seemed to see the shadow of last year's Western Conference Finals.
At the beginning of the season, Brooks and Ariza let go of the shooting without any consideration, which really won almost all the wins that should be won for the Mosaic, and also defeated teams like the Lakers.
However, Langtou has been criticized, so the nicknames of "Tieza" and "Iron Clothing" were added to him.
Landry did play as an All-Star in December, averaging 16 points per game, second only to Wade and LeBron in the final quarter, and won the hearts of all the mosaic fans and once became the contender for the best sixth man. At this time, Mosaic also ranked in the top eight in the West with a winning rate of about 60%.
But the successor is weak. After all, there is not a single star now, so what else can I say?
But judging from the record, the Mosaic team is really good at the moment.
So far, 20 wins and 16 losses are no worse than the Knicks at all.
Chen Feng has no impression of mosaics.
Back to the topic, without Yao Yao's mosaic, Shen Feng's mind is better than many Eastern teams. Even Chen Feng would not doubt that if they would leave this mosaic in the East, they would definitely make it to the playoffs.
Of course, I must not go far.
After the mosaic team lacked Yaoyao this season, Adelman reacted. It turned out that without Yaoyao, the mosaics really could not break through in the West.
After missing Yaoyao last season, Mosaic still had seven games with the Lakers, making Adelman mistakenly believe that his Princeton tactics are very powerful.
But in fact, that Chinese giant is the truly indispensable soul of this mosaic.
No matter how ecstatic Scola's diamond dance moves are, no matter how scattered Brooks are, they can't attract double-teams.
People in the world think that Yaoyao was selected as the All-Star starter by Chinese fans, but in the next few years of his career, Yaoyao really relied on his own abilities.
And what about McGrady without Yao Da’s cooperation?
Not to mention that I am still injured now.
Even when he made a comeback, Chen Feng remembers that he was also the sixth man in the team, playing only 6 games, and averaged only 3.2 points per game.
The former Sikodongai, North Carolina Nanmai...
Before we knew it, there was only the unyielding fighter, who was still firm year after year, day after day. Yes, I was talking about you, Vince Carter!
Whenever McGrady is mentioned, he will regret his career. The injury has prevented this pride of heaven from achieving his goal. In the past five years of Mosaic, the Yao-McG combination was always a slight difference from the Western Conference Finals. Their combination cooperated tacitly and took into account both inside and outside. However, Yao-Yao and McGrady suffered injuries one after another, and the intermittent game made the Mosaic always return in a defeat.
Later generations, as the mosaics opened high and closed low continuously, the management completely disbanded the Yao-McG combination in 10 years. With the completion of the three-party transaction, McGrady was sent to the New York Knicks and began his career downhill. At that time, McGrady was angry and did not realize this. He made his New York debut in anger.
On February 21, 2010, Beijing time, the New York Knicks lost to the Thunder 118-121 overtime in the NBA regular season. The Knicks' new appointee McGrady's wonderful debut at Madison Square Garden was exactly in line with the team's expected goals.
However, McGrady's brave performance was not enough to stop Durant and the Thunder, who were in the limelight. They stole McGrady's play. Durant scored a game-high 36 points and made a key jump shot in the last 16 seconds of overtime, helping the Thunder achieve an 8-game winning streak.
Durant said: "We knew before the game that McGrady's arrival would inject a lot of energy into them. He played very well and got back to his health, but I want to take the victory."
In contrast, McGrady played for 32 minutes, efficiently scored 26 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 1 steal from 10 of 17 shots. McGrady completed her debut in New York with a gorgeous and comprehensive performance.
When he performs perfectly after every time he gets the ball, he seems to be telling the mosaic that the consequences of not paying attention to me can only be regret. Every sharp breakthrough and every decisive jump shot can instantly ignite the passion of the fans of Madison Garden Plaza. They extremely welcome this pride of heaven to lead the Knicks to glory.
That day, in the fourth quarter, the Knicks fans shouted: "we want tmac!" At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped. What left McGrady was his infinite expectation for the future and the courage to start again.
However, that was his last high-energy performance. Since the reversal dunk dunk on the frame, McGrady is no longer the former young man in white-clothed spear.
In later generations, many people were talking about how strong McGrady was.
In later generations, McGrady was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and became the second player in the NBA's "Four Big Point Guards" in the early 21st century to be inducted into the Hall of Fame (Iverson was selected in 2016).
So, is the Hall of Fame so easy to enter? Why did the outside world call Kobe, McGrady, Iverson and Carter the "Four Points Backs" in the early 21st century instead of others?
It is obvious that it is difficult to enter the Hall of Fame, and the "Four Majors" are not just talking about it.
First of all, no one will deny McGrady is a superstar?
Although McGrady's performance in leading the team was not good, she had never led the team to achieve convincing results.
To be continued...
