Chapter 298
What if Chamberlain still stayed in San Antonio?
Basketball critic Fagan, at the beginning of the new season, when supersonic speed was first revealed, left such an assumption for the world in his special commentary. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no answer to this question, and Fagan does not spend even a little bit of ink on it in his next column.
But as Chamberlain's performance became better and better, and the winning rate of supersonic horror, many media started with this question and gave the correct answer in their eyes.
The most famous of these is Evan Jones, the columnist editor of The Washington Sentinel.
Jones wrote: "For the San Antonions, the time when Duncan was on the court at the same time with Robinson was their happiest moment.
Yes, it was wonderful, and when they lifted the championship, it was so exciting. But remember, there are also lost people, our 'Admiral', who was forced to hand over most of the offensive ball.......
If Zhang remains with the Spurs, who will make concessions? Will it be Duncan at the peak of integrity? Or Chang in his formative years? We also need to note that Zhang needs the ball more than Robinson, and yes, without the ball in hand, Zhang's threat will drop by at least 50 percent.....
Robinson, who was still competing with O'Neal for the scoring title in 1994, accepted Popovich's arrangement, handed over the offensive ball, and concentrated on defense.
It's a difficult transition process, and it's something that any team has to go through with both aging superstars and rising stars.
In a short period of time, he was demoted from the team's No. 1 to the second choice, which made the broad-minded Robinson a little unacceptable.
"I've always been the focus here. When I feel like I'm no longer in focus, the difference is huge. ”
In an interview, Robinson said.
"My stats look very unfamiliar, and I used to laugh at people who were averaging 12 points and 10 rebounds per game, and anyone could get that. But now, I find myself in that position. ”
We can't trace David Robinson's mental journey during this period of time, but what we do know is that there will never be two people in this world who are exactly the same, and Duncan will never be David Robinson!"
Still, while Jones's article resonated with most people, there was a small group of people who offered a different view.
In order to better use Duncan and Robinson, Popovich has set out to redesign the team's tactics since learning that the Spurs had been the No. 1 pick.
Objectively speaking, Duncan and Robinson both belong to the back-to-back interior line, and both have quite strong offensive ability. Due to the similar height, there is a certain overlap in the position and role on the field. The Spurs' coaching staff has put a lot of thought into developing a tactical system that allows both men to perform at the same time.
"One point our coaching staff looked at each other and said, 'Oh my God, we're going to stun this group of players.' Hopefully, we'll come up with a tactical system that allows everyone to do what they can do." Popovich said.
This passage, which is widely known in San Antonio, became an important basis for their arguments.
"Duncan and Robinson are both back-to-back interior players, with a certain overlap in their positions and roles on the court, and Popovich can both find a solution, why is Chamberlain, who is more keen on organization and has the exact opposite of Duncan's technical characteristics, Popovich can't find a solution to the problem?"
After all, all this is based on a hypothesis, so what would the real thing look like?
All-Star is more important entertainment, is to promote the NBA league on the big stage, so when Duncan stands on the court. The long-debated relationship between him and Chamberlain, and the long-standing grudge between him and O'Neill, naturally became one of the leading actors in the next period of time.
"Zhang, catch the ball!"
Ray Allen took the ball to the half-court and made an exaggerated back-to-back pass that sent the basketball into Chamberlain's hands.
Well, this action that has been carried forward in "White Chocolate", and Ray Allen is almost obscene now, similar to the legendary magic skill "Monkey Stealing Peach".
"Peach" is impossible to steal.
I saw Chamberlain perform the Tomb School's peerless "Bird Hunting Skill", and a "Fishing for the Moon under the Sea" caught the basketball that was about to bounce into the ball.
When Duncan came on, Chamberlain stepped into the center position.
On the one hand, it is a habit formed when two people cooperate, and on the other hand, compared with Deng Dud, the topic of O'Neal and Chamberlain is more popular in today's NBA.
Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. O'Neill vs. Olajuwon, O'Neill vs. David Robinson, O'Neill vs. Mourning, O'Neill vs. Ben Wallace. O'Neill vs. Duncan, O'Neill vs. Yao Ming, O'Neill vs. Chamberlain.
As a well-deserved hegemon of the NBA's interior line, the NBA's official marketing strategy is destined that O'Neal will not be lonely, when he finally conquers an opponent, a new opponent, will appear in the next second.
To the left, to the right, Chamberlain skillfully danced his own bloodstained dreamy footsteps, and he was just a simple bogus from side to side, so that O'Neill behind him had to use guesswork to determine the specific direction of his attack.
"Smack!"
Chamberlain cuts laterally to the left side of the basket.
No matter how perfect the action is, it will not really be traceless, O'Neill, who has seen a variety of opponents and has great experience, judged the direction of Chamberlain's upcoming attack from Chamberlain's subtle movements.
Although it was a little late at this time, with his strong strength, O'Neill still completed the interception of Chamberlain's cut after pushing Chamberlain with his strong chest.
Any action is not a formula, and the most important thing is to learn and apply it.
Chamberlain was pushed by O'Neill, seeing that the action could not be completed smoothly, Chamberlain then turned around with this force, like a huge spinning top, and instantly adjusted the center of gravity of his body to the other side of the body.
Duncan's opponent was Carter.
Well, the "demigod" indicates that he is not professional in this position.
Originally, according to Chamberlain's plan, he broke through to the left side of the basket, attracted Carter, who was standing under the basket, and defended Duncan's pass.
It's just that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and plans can't keep up with the rapid changes, but change is not necessarily a bad thing. In Duncan's eyes at this time, what he saw was a large piece of meat.
