Chapter 579 The Present and Future of the NBA(1/2)
Inglewood High School Basketball Hall in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant's alma mater as this year's draft hit.
Recently, there are a lot of idle people outside the basketball hall.
Because the draft will start less than a month later, the lottery order was determined half a month ago, and the 76ers with the worst record in the league won the No. 1 pick as they wished.
At this point, all media in the United States know that Kobe Bryant has locked in the No. 1 pick in advance.
Now, Kobe Bryant has not entered the NBA yet, but in terms of treatment in the media, Kobe is definitely the standard for All-Stars.
Even the standards of superstars are fine.
Attention level of the pride of heaven!
What's more, there is another pride of heaven here!
Allen Iverson, who has won the second place this year!
In the draft draw half a month ago, the biggest upset was that the Boston Celtics, with the ninth-last record, got the second draw.
Celtics general manager and head coach Kyle did not hide it either, and the Boston Celtics would only consider Allen Iverson in the second pick.
The 76ers who signed the No. 1 pick have confirmed Kobe, and he has prepared All-Star point guard Tim Hardaway as a helper for Kobe early on.
Will Iverson be chosen to let Tim Hardaway play a substitute?
The 76ers are not that luxurious.
Kobe, Iverson, two 1996-class prides are now all training at Inglewood High School.
They could have followed the Lakers to experience the playoffs.
But Lakers' playoff opponent Supersonics simply won't allow them to enter any venue of Supersonics.
They are not the relevant persons of the game, etc., nor are they invited by the league, and they are not qualified at all.
The reason why Supersonics did this is that they didn't want them to help the Lakers and simulate the Supersonics' playing style.
In the end, these basketball boys can only learn from Lin Han when the Lakers are playing at home.
When the Lakers played away, they stayed at the Inglewood High School training hall, Kobe and Pierce's alma mater.
This has also made this Los Angeles basketball school the focus of the whole country now.
There are certainly many promising young players training here, which will make people look at each other.
"Peton's defense is really strong. I have never seen anyone who can do such a good effect when defending Lin Han alone."
"Peton's close-fitting defense and cutting timing are excellent. Even if he can't stop Lin Han's ball, he can intimidate him, making him more cautious in every shot or pass. In this round of the series, Lin Han's shooting rate and efficiency are average."
"But this is usually just relative to his previous efficient statement. The real hit rate of 65% is actually very good. In comparison, Payton's real hit rate is only 50%."
"Paul, what's the use of real hit rate? The reason why the Lakers can sweep the Supersonics 4-0 is not because of the real hit rate, but because Lin Han can score more than 40 points per game, while Payton's score is only a mere 15 points per game! Payton reduced Lin Han's efficiency, but there was no way to stop him from scoring!"
"Allen, I admit that part of what you said is correct. The Supersonics lost because there is no way to stop Lin Han from scoring, but if Lin Han could still score more than 40 points per game, but his real shooting percentage is only 50%. Allen thinks that the Lakers can still win? Can they still sweep the Supersonics?"
"Why can't it? NBA is not a game that compares hit rate, nor is it a game that compares efficiency. If you want to win in a game, you don't need to hit rate and efficiency higher than others, you just need to score higher than others! Paul, you have gone astray now."
"Allen, you are the one who went astray. Don't think that if you win the ncaa championship, you will take everything you think as the truth."
"I never took everything I thought was truth, but the ncaa champion proved that my basketball philosophy is more useful than yours. You Kansas can't score against Kentucky, so you lost, and my Georgetown can, so we won, basketball is that simple, Kobe, what do you think?"
"I don't know, but compared to 1 of 10, I prefer 0 of 30"
Pierce was so choked by the cancer-like speech of Iverson and Kobe that he couldn't speak.
Why did they only see the cancer attributes on Lin Han, but not his efficiency?
Pierce sighed.
Kobe, Iverson, Pierce and McGrady, four basketball teenagers who have attracted much attention from the US media are now discussing the fourth game of the Western Conference Final that just ended last night.
The Lakers scored two consecutive games away and finally swept the Supersonics 4-0.
This is also the third time that the Lakers have swept their opponents this year’s playoffs!
From the Warriors in the first round to the Jazz in the second round to the Supersonics in the third round.
The Lakers have won 11 consecutive games in the playoffs!
Lin Han and the Lakers' strength seemed unstoppable!
However, although the Lakers swept the supersonics with a score of 4-0.
However, the scores of these four games are very close, and the Lakers did not win more than ten in each game.
The biggest difference in scores was that the Lakers beat the Supersonics 105-96 in the fourth game.
In this four games in the series, the Lakers won the most games with nine points.
Regardless of whether what the media experts said is true or not, Lin Han has not done his best yet.
Anyway, the supersonic performance is very good.
Especially the supersonics player Gary Payton, after this round of series, the name of gloves resounded throughout the NBA!
Lin Han consumed more physical strength in the second round than when he was playing against Ma Long.
Even the pillars of the future NBA, Iverson and Kobe, the four of them are full of admiration for Payton.
They always learn from Lin Han, and no one knows Lin Han better than them.
No one knows better than them how difficult it is to defend Lin Han.
"Paul, why don't you sign up for the draft this year? After the NCAA game is over, no one can find it."
"I still have any business I have done in NCAA"
"A career not completed? ncaa champion?"
"Um"
Paul Pierce looked calm and said no.
"Then good luck, let's join Tracy in the draft next year."
The ncaa champion is not that easy to win. A game that determines the outcome is not so friendly to Pierce, who is pursuing efficiency now.
However, whether you can win the NCAA championship will be Pierce's last year in NCAA next year.
It is impossible for Pierce to be able to stay in college for three years.
Garnett, who was following Lin Han at the same time as him, has already begun to call the wind and rain in the NBA.
Iverson is also ready to call the wind and rain.
And what about him? He is still engaging in NCAA. Even if he is for the NCAA championship, it will hurt his self-esteem.
"Who can win the Lakers or Bulls in this year's NBA Finals?"
"The Lakers and the Bulls? The Lakers have advanced. Do the Bulls have advanced? Are the Magic and the Bulls 2-2 now?"
"Trecy, I dare to bet with you that the Bulls will win in the end, and your favorite Lin Han and Hardaway will definitely miss the final this year."
"Why?"
"We all said before that Lin Han did not do his best when facing the Supersonics. Tracy wouldn't think that Jordan did his best, right? In four games, Jordan still made a large number of three-pointers. Tracy believes that the strongest Jordan is Jordan who made a large number of three-pointers?"
Although he was unwilling to admit it, McGrady shook her head in the end.
"If O'Neal's free throw is better and Hardaway's offense is better, the Magic may still have a chance, but this season, there is no chance. O'Neal learned to play urinary free throws too late. Although the overall free throw shooting percentage has increased by 10%, it is not enough. Hardaway is the same. The difference between Hardaway and Jordan is that its efficiency is still a little low."
"According to what you said, how many games can the Bulls beat the Magic?"
"It depends on Jordan himself. If Jordan completely develops his three-pointers in the next game, then the final big score will be 4-2. If he has not improved his three-pointers to the highest level, the final big score will be 4-3."
"Since that's the case, Paul has also predicted the finals together. After going to college, Allen likes to play with his IQ. You're not afraid of you saying that. Tracy took advantage of you to stab you 13 seconds while you were sleeping?"
"Trecy, you'll stab me?"
"Yes, I will poke you with the ball!"
With a bang, the entire training hall was filled with laughter after a huge basketball hit the person.
This is the voice of the future of NBA!
On May 26, 1996, the Lakers defeated the Supersonics away, won the Western Conference championship, and once again entered the finals.
These four games with the Supersonics are generally easier than the four games with the Jazz.
Compared with the bitch Malone, Payton and Kemp are really much cute.
Although Payton also made him feel uncomfortable, he was willing to do this kind of discomfort.
Because this is a discomfort in strength.
It is very appreciated that Payton can develop so many powerful defensive tips to defend him.
He used to admire Payton, and after playing this year's playoffs with the Supersonics, he appreciated Payton even more.
The Lakers swept the Supersonics in the Western Conference Finals, which was unexpected and expected.
Before the Lakers and Supersonics battle, Supersonics were considered to be inferior to the Jazz in terms of strength.
After all, the Lakers' offense is really too stable, no matter what kind of defense it faces, they can score at least 100 points or more.
