Grant Hill is a legend. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He was one of the first "Jordan successors" in the NBA.

Hill entered the NBA in 1994 as a flower show, and his talent, body shape, and picturesque style of play are somewhat similar to Jordan, who retired for the first time, and they are both Tanhua shows, and the fit is perfect!

When Hill first entered the NBA, he was considered by everyone to be the most likely person to succeed Jordan.

He is young, confident, intelligent, handsome, noble-born, mild-mannered, away from all negative news, and has almost all the qualities and accomplishments that a successful person should have.

On the court, he is comprehensive, domineering, elegant, and tolerant, like a polite destroyer, while impacting the opponent's defense with his strong body and delicate skills, and on the other hand, bringing the audience and fans a beautiful visual impact and elegant enjoyment.

When Hill plays on the court, he always feels the perfect combination of elegance and violence. Strong, domineering, he squeezed straight past the defender again and again, rushed straight to the basket as if no one was around, and smashed the ball into the basket; He can also control the ball gracefully and freely, like an ethereal dancer, with the rhythm of nature, with the wind.

In Hill's time, he was always an offbeat on the court: he didn't have all the vices of other NBA players, as if he didn't fit in, but he was well-connected on and off the court.

The 1994-95 season was Hill's rookie season, where he averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.77 steals per game, and shared the Rookie of the Year award with Jason Kidd.

And with the super popularity he accumulated in college, coupled with his all-round performance in his rookie season, he actually beat Shaquille O'Neal to become the All-Star vote king in the first season of his career!

What's even more shocking is that in his second season, with his super all-around data of 20.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game, he beat Michael Jordan and won the All-Star vote for a second time!

You know, this season, the comeback Jordan led the team to the best regular season record in history with 72 wins and 10 losses, and finally won the championship!

This cannot but be said to be a miracle, and it also shows the recognition and love of fans all over the world for Hill.

Hill seems to make everyone's eyes shine, knowing that the original NBA players can be not vulgar, can be born noble and elegant, and it turns out that an elegant gentleman can also stand so solid in this world of the jungle. So, everyone voted for this good boy without hesitation.

And Hill's technique is rare in NBA history as comprehensive.

In his heyday, he was an all-powerful fighter who could do almost anything a team needed.

The phrase "organizational striker" began to circulate from him. Three pairs are easy for him. If he cares about his score, then 30 points in a single game can only be regarded as a basic task for him.

In every era, there are players who can't defend in one-on-one situations. And Hill at his peak was also such an existence.

In the 1999-2000 season, the Bulls' dominant defense could not limit the young Hill from putting the ball in the basket again and again.

The big worm Rodman's rogue defense couldn't freeze the elegant gentleman, and Pippen's gummy harassment couldn't stop his agile pace, and finally Jordan, who couldn't stand it, came out.

However, in that game, many people finally saw Jordan's aging in an incredible way.

He still couldn't organize Hill, and Jordan looked tired both offensively and defensively.

When defending, Jordan actually fell to the ground twice in embarrassment during the physical confrontation with Hill, but Hill did not move at all! One of Jordan's trademark step-back jumpers was also covered vertically by Hill mercilessly......

It's hard to imagine how great his achievements would have been if he hadn't been hit by injuries so often.

As a latecomer, many people can only remember this once magnificent figure in a legend with infinite scenery.

I don't know how many latecomers take Hill as their role model and hope to get closer to him.

And Downs is also such a junior, with reverence for his predecessors and his own ambitions, he hopes that he can also be like Hill, famous all over the world, and famous.

Although you can't be the ticket king, you can be an all-star!

Hearing Tang Si answer to the reporter like this, Yi Feng couldn't help but admire his ambition and courage.

Although it was very difficult for a rookie to be selected as an All-Star, Downs still revealed his ambitions in public.

There will undoubtedly be a lot of pressure. A series of derogatory words such as being ambitious and not knowing the depth will be forcibly pressed on his head.

But he did it anyway. It has to be said that it takes a lot of courage.

At the same time, Yi Feng also began to reflect, he had done this before, saying in front of the media that he wanted to win the scoring title. Then he was reprimanded for a long time, knowing that there are still voices of crusade.

But why did he answer so modestly tonight?

Could it be that he has been in a bad state recently, which makes him unnaturally empty?

After ending a three-game losing streak with the Timberwolves, the Lakers are heading to Texas for the next 12 and 13 against the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets, respectively.

This is the third back-to-back in the Lakers' "eight consecutive road games" in early December. And the opponent is also the second of the powerful "Texas Big Three".

The so-called "Texas Big Three" refers to the three teams based in Texas - the San Antonio Spurs, the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets.

These three teams are very strong, ranking in the top eight in the West all year round, and sometimes even all of them are in the top four!

And because they're all in Texas, when the league schedules other teams, they basically come to Texas and play three teams at once.

Play one team first, then play the other two teams back-to-back. No matter how powerful you are, you can't withstand such a toss. A lot of Eastern teams come to Texas and come home with a three-game losing streak.

Over time, the name of the "Top Three in Texas" has spread like this.

The Spurs are an evergreen in the league, especially after the arrival of Tim Duncan, who made the playoffs for 18 consecutive years, surpassing the Lakers' record of 17 consecutive playoff appearances.

Currently, the Spurs can only finish fifth in NBA history. The record belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers, who have been in poor form lately, and have made the playoffs for 22 consecutive years. Then there are the Trailblazers, for 21 years in a row. Then there are the Jazz for 20 consecutive years and the Celtics for 19 consecutive years.

But Spurs are expected to overtake these teams!

Because the current Spurs team, it's still very strong. Although Duncan, an ageless rookie, is a year older, the Spurs, who have established a new core, are now ranked second in the West, where there are many strong players! Second only to the Warriors, who have only lost one game so far.

The Spurs lost their opener this season, losing two of their opening five games. Since then, the form has gotten better and better, and so far I have only lost a total of 5 games. With an 18-5 record, although it is far from the first-place Warriors, the second-place position is still very solid.

The only good news for the Lakers is that the Spurs lost by three points the day before yesterday against the Toronto Raptors. Maybe when they return to their home stadium, they are not in the best condition.

The Rockets, who are also the "top three in Texas" with the Spurs, became second in the West with a 56-26 record last season, and staged a big comeback to defeat the Clippers to enter the Western Conference Finals when they fell behind 1:3 in the semifinals.

Although they lost to the Warriors in the end, in the eyes of people, the Rockets have James Harden who is second only to Stephen Curry in the MVP vote to lead the team forward, and it must be a promising future.

But what I never expected was that this season's Rockets, with almost no changes to the team's lineup, have only achieved an 11-12 record so far!

The second-best team in the West last season now has a win rate of less than half!

An 11-12 record will not allow the Rockets to finish in the top eight in the West, only in ninth place, and almost compete for a playoff spot. And in front of them, the eighth-place finisher, is their opponent two days later, the Los Angeles Lakers.

The season started the season with a three-game losing streak, followed by a four-game winning streak, followed by a four-game losing streak, winning just seven of their 15 games throughout November.

In December, they have won three of their five games so far, but one of the two games they lost was to the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets are only slightly better than the 76ers in the East, and the Rockets are there to send warmth.

Even the Nets can lose, and the Rockets are in a worrying situation this season. And this is also an opportunity for the Lakers, in these two back-to-backs, whether they can steal a victory depends on the Rockets.

――――――

On December 12, the Los Angeles Lakers' away game against the San Antonio Spurs kicked off at the AT&T Center.

The Lakers' starting lineup is: Jordan Clarkson, Yi Feng, Kobe Bryant, Larry Nance Jr. and Roy Hibbert

Byron Scott put Clarkson back in the starting lineup for the obvious purpose of getting him to hit the interior more.

And Randle still missed the start, which shows that Nance Jr.'s recent performance is okay and has been recognized by Scott.

The Spurs starting lineup is: Ray McCallum, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge and Tim Duncan

Tony Parker, as the main point guard, will not be able to play this game. Greg Popovich put backup point guard McCallum in the starting lineup.

Once the game started, the Spurs took the lead at home.

Aldridge scored six straight points in the opening game to give the Spurs a four-point lead at 6-10.

After that, the Lakers also hit three points in color, Yi Feng and Kobe Bryant shot three points successively, and they worked together to chase 8 points in a row, helping the Lakers overtake the score 14:10.

After the opening, Yi Feng looked in good shape. It seems that he has finally broken free from the aura of that negative state.

The two sides then scored seven points each, with Bryant and Hibbert each scoring as the Lakers extended the deficit to eight points at 25:17.

Aldridge was the Spurs' savior in the first quarter, and he once again went on offense, scoring six points to help the Spurs hold on.

Then Mills, who came off the bench on the Spurs' side, hit two three-pointers in a row to lead the team to a 14-2 spurt to end the first quarter. The score was 27:31 between the two teams, and the Spurs regained their way into the lead.

Aldridge, who scored 14 points in a single quarter, was the hero of the Spurs' first quarter to regain the lead. As his background board, Nance Jr. was completely blown up, and even began to doubt his life.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yi Feng continued the good feeling of the first quarter, and after hitting a mid-range shot, he also scored a 2+1 on Danny Green's head, scoring 5 points in a row, and led the team to play a 7-2 attack wave, overtaking the score to 34:33.

Yi Feng's wave of strong operation, Scott, who saw the sidelines, nodded again and again. Yi Feng has been in a bad state recently, but it makes him sad. Now that he has finally been able to see the moon, he is really happy!

But Popovich won't let Scott get his way.

With his eyes like a torch, how could he not see the recovery of Yi Feng's state. In order not to let Yi Feng, a huge variable, play his own strength, and the Spurs' final victory, Popovich decided to let Leonard defend against Yi Feng.

In the subsequent offense, Yi Feng finally saw the defensive skills of the league's top defenders.

As last season's best defensive player, Leonard averaged 2.3 steals per game (the steals of the season), which was enough to terrify many ball carriers.

And unlike the average player stealing passes, many of Leonard's steals are snatched directly from the ball carrier. Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford, and many more players with excellent dribbling skills have been planted under him.

Leonard had a pair of terrifying hands, and when his hands were fully open, the distance from the tip of his little finger to the tip of his thumb was 11.5 inches (29.21 cm) in a straight line!

In addition, he has an arm span of 223cm, which can help him grab rebounds and put strong pressure on the defensive end. He can also perform his defensive stunt, Death Coil.

After Leonard cast "Death Entanglement", Yi Feng was directly robbed twice by him.

Yi Feng, who has always been proud of his arm span and hand width, finally knew the truth that "there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains".

In the face of such strong defensive pressure, the speed at which Yi Feng's state warmed up actually accelerated.

Perhaps it is his nature not to admit defeat, no matter how strong the enemy is, he will never allow himself to surrender.

Even if Leonard, the "big-handed monster", has the trick "Death Entanglement", this can't stop Yi Feng's determination to win.

Although there was a lot of resistance when attacking, Yi Feng was happy to do it.

If you just look at Yi Feng's shooting rate, there is no sign that he is in good shape in this game.

But his family knows his own affairs, and the increasingly strong desire to attack will not deceive people, facing the Spurs tonight, facing the "big hand monster" Leonard, Yi Feng has more and more power surging up and down!

In the last attack of the first half, Yi Feng forced past Leonard and suddenly pulled out his hand.

Although Leonard's long arm interfered in time, Yi Feng still hit the whistle ball.

At 52:51, the Lakers led by one point to end the half. (To be continued.) )
