And he saw Moses standing before him. Ma Long's eyebrows were opened, and Tang Qian was a little stunned and said, "Mr. Prophet, you ......?"

"I'm fine, the ball is in, isn't it?" Moses. Ma Long still said this sentence after he landed.

"No, I mean your eyebrow bone was accidentally ...... by me"

"Oh, this little thing, don't care, the players who played inside in our era were opened to the eyebrows, and they were not qualified to be on the news." Moses. Malone really didn't seem to care, he just took off his shirt and pressed the wound, and then continued: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I don't know how many times my left eyebrow bone has been opened, some deep and some shallow, and one of them was opened by that guy Abdul-Jabbar." When I first moved from the ABA to the NBA, he was going to give me a 'kick' at the beginning, but hehe. He smiled and seemed to be very proud: "He thinks too much, but I have planted a demon in his heart." ”

"That's why I used to say that I could kill Karim at any time, 365 days a year. Abdul-Jabbar, it doesn't matter if you're in the regular season or the playoffs or in the Finals, it's the same. It seems that this phrase was later learned by Dennis's little fellow, and people forgot about my original version. I have to say that the TV era is really a good era. ”

"Do you know why I can always bully him?"

"Because he doesn't have the courage I have."

"He's talented, but I proved to him that it takes courage to dominate the inside line far more than talent!"

"So you have to understand that, the inside player, the most important thing is the heart, the courage, and then the so-called talent, the hardware, the physicality." Moses. Ma Long said: "Whether you want to be a real inside line or a pseudo inside line, this distinction is quite important." ”

"I won't accept the money first, I'll see if you have any possibilities in this regard, if not, it's a vain religion if you teach it."

Don Qian accompanies Moses. Ma Long went to a nearby hospital, and after sterilizing the stitches, Tang Qian left alone. Because today, he was exposed to some basketball theories that he had never been exposed to before, or what he thought was almost ridiculous. The emphasis on technology in domestic basketball and the emphasis on the body in American basketball originally Tang Qian thought that the body was the guarantee of technology, which was the highest basic theory of basketball. After all, this is more advanced than the domestic country for I don't know how many years.

But suddenly, Moses. Marlon opened a new door for him.

In addition to technique and physicality, there is another thing that is indispensable on the basketball court.

This is not to say that Tang Qian didn't know about it before, and he hadn't heard similar "propaganda", but he knew very well in his heart that it was just a "gimmick". How is it possible to play basketball well, all it takes is courage? This is just a trick for big stars to deceive children.

There isn't much pragmatic value.

He can say that there are few true professional basketball players who put courage or bravery first.

Because to play basketball well, the most important thing is body + technique, which is the most practical statement.

Hence the so-called courage? Maybe the stars who said this advertising slogan are a little "disdainful" in their hearts.

But today, a living legend has taught himself a hard lesson.

The most important thing is that that real courage made Tang Qian feel what it means to be fearless for the first time.

Fearless.

To know Moses. Malone's peak was concentrated in the late 70s to mid-80s, and that period was known as the "dark era" of the NBA league. Savagery, high-intensity hand-to-hand combat, endless small moves, are all maximized here.

There used to be a joke that when you played basketball in the 60s and 80s, you had to be ready for "court fighting" whenever you wanted.

This is also why the stars of that era will be equipped with a "bodyguard" or "thug" and other fierce players as standard, such as Jordan's "old oak" Oakley, which is a famous example. If you're a new fan, you may find it incredible, but if you're an old fan, especially those of the first and second generations of older fans in China, then you must know that what you say is true.

Especially the outside players, the body is not as strong as the inside line, so they fight and suffer a lot.

Even the "Sky Hook", which looks quite "thin", is a ruthless character. Benson gave him a dark elbow, and guess what, he returned the punch with a punch in return. The former fell to the ground in an instant. There are too many similar examples, similar to the old punch Tom Janovic received back then, "Big Bird" Bird and "Dr. J" Julius Owen pinched, in the fourth game of the 1987 East Finals, "Big Bird" was furious because he was maliciously fouled, and then smashed "Bad Man" Bill with a basketball. Lancer's head, Barkley punched Bill in April 1990. Ranbier, at the same time, applauded the Philadelphia boss and directly announced that he would "pay out of his pocket" for the former's fine.

This is still concentrated in the 80s and the end of the 70s, and if you go a little further, it is even more terrifying.

Willis. Reed singled out the Lakers in 1966. In 1962, the legendary Havlicek first reported to Boston, only to witness Rodgers hit Rodgers to the bench with a punch. Player Bob. Ferry put Walter at once. Hazzard's right tooth went into the cheek and he was fined only $25. The first generation of super center George. After playing in the NBA for 9 years, McConn received 169 stitches all over his body, changed countless glasses in a game, and even more exaggerated was that he was punched and kicked for the first time in his first game for the Lakers, and almost broke his bones. Finally with the current NBA president, not the president, Rod . Thorne's exact words, in the 5060s, if there was a fight in the NBA, the referees would usually let the players "play freely" first, and then blow the whistle to stop when they saw blood.

I don't know if there is an exaggeration in this passage, but NBA players of that era have a common saying:

If you want to gain a foothold in the league, you first have to be toothless!

Tang Dynasty. Bacchus said: In the 5060s, you walked into the locker room, and the most conspicuous thing was not the basketball equipment, but the denture boxes with various dentures. That is to say, in those years, physical confrontation was beyond your imagination, at least in the video and GIF, you couldn't see the reason at all.

Because the moves of the old ball skin are ruthless, accurate and yin, unless you slow down with a close-up, you may not find anything wrong after watching the whole scene.

Tang Qian remembered Moses just now. Ma Long's calmness when he sewed stitches, and the latter said a sentence that made Tang Qian remember it vividly.

In your current era, those players who are preparing for conflict are eager for his teammates to come and hold him, and in our era, they are all united and united to the outside world, and whoever dares to pull it is "mutiny" and "defection to the enemy".

Therefore, this era is really an era of "civilization", which is completely different from the cruelty of the previous inner line.

Is this what he means by "courage"? Hard attack under the basket? Can it really be done to this point?

Can he? Can I?

Tang Qian was a little caught in a contradiction.

On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, Tang Qian participated in the All-Star training and player interviews in the East and West, and he was already considered an "old man", so he was very comfortable with it.

"Excuse me, what data do you think you'll get this time?"

"The more the merrier, and the more the merrier."

"Hot, have you ever thought about fighting for FMVP?"

"Of course, I won't let it go if I have the chance."

"What if Kobe Bryant wants to fight you? Will you let it? ”

"You ESPN just like to do things? Of course, if Kobe Bryant wants it, I can give it to him and help him make the ball, this is no problem, after all, he is the boss of the team~"

"Hot, what do you think about Team Rocket's Howard remarks? Do you think you're stealing his starting center position? ”

"Rob? When is the NBA not robbed? If he wants a cow, he will take my place back! Oh yes, I forgot, he only had more than 650,000 votes and was not eligible to be in the starting lineup at all. Besides, now the NBA has no All-Star voting position for a center, and if he can't squeeze out the three frontcourts, I can squeeze others. Doesn't he be able to squeeze Durant and Griffin? Let's squeeze past them first. I'm the king of the front court in the West, he didn't beat the second or third, don't even mention the word with me! ”

"You're the rebounding and blocking leader for two-thirds of the season right now, can you keep it up?"

"This question is a score question, and elementary school students know that it is definitely me!"

"Scalding you and Pakrick. What exactly is the Ewing relationship? Are you really going to score 50 points in the near future? ”

"Of course, after all, people have said that 48 points and 50+ points are the hurdles, and if I don't do it, he won't be convinced. As for the relationship, it's just ordinary people, you know, I only respect the seniors who know how to write it. ”

A large group of reporters worked hard to write books, and voice recorders kept recording them. Tang Qian's popularity is gradually rising now, even if he only looks at the United States, there are many loyalists and hardcores. This is a huge change from previous seasons.

However, the biggest target of siege is Kobe Bryant, and people want to know whether the Lakers' No. 24, who is in excellent form this season, can cut AMVP again in his career? After he got it last year, his career accumulation has reached 5, and if he gets it again this year, it will be a full 6, the absolute first in NBA history.

Americans, for everything, seem to have great enthusiasm and fantasies, and if you come to this country, you will deeply understand this. Heroism is here, and it can even be regarded as an "American spirit" and an "American dream".

But the Lakers' answer on the 24th made people a little confused:

I've taken enough of this accolade, and it doesn't make any sense to go to the All-Star Game just to enjoy the game and enjoy the All-Star Weekend, that's all. However, if anyone needs help, I can provide support. In short, this year is also a win for the West, and that won't change.

Kobe Bryant is out of contention? That seems to mean that? In this way, many people's minds are alive.

Don't think that AMVP is worthless, yes, it can really only be regarded as "leftovers" compared to MVP and FMVP, but if you haven't won it in your career, it's different.

I haven't won an All-Star, so I still want to fight very much.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and AMVP can be regarded as an award that can be included in the honor bag, yes, it doesn't matter, no, that's another matter.

On the western side, except for Kobe and Durant, the rest of the starters have not won it, and the situation in the east is similar, except for Zhan Huang and Wade, the rest of George + Irving + Anthony have not won it. Therefore, after the biggest favorite Kobe Bryant announced "indisputable", the competitive atmosphere between the east and the west changed subtly in an instant.

Including the substitutes, who have not won it, it is not that they have no chance to fight.

This kind of example is not unheard of in history, such as the god Joe, which was killed by Glenn in 97. Rice "steals the show" and loses the long-awaited AMVP.

Kobe Bryant, who has the highest qualifications and the highest voice and the most influence, doesn't want it now, so it's good, and he immediately entered the stage of dancing with demons.

If you haven't taken it, you want to try it and add a new honor to your honor bag.

After the interview, Tang Qian asked Kobe why he didn't want it, and Kobe said:

I've taken enough and my main task this year is to win the championship and win Larry. O'Brien Cup, in order to achieve this purpose, I think I should be a little more restrained, and don't burn up my luck here.

As soon as this set came out, Tang Qian was stunned, he didn't expect Kobe Bryant to come to such a sentence that was close to "superstition", which ......

It can be seen from this that Kobe Bryant is eager for his sixth championship ring this season.

If it were another season, Kobe would never have said such a thing.

Just when Tang Qian was still thinking, the No. 24 Lakers team next to him suddenly said: "Although I don't want it, but the AMVP trophy, it's better to stay in Los Angeles, it's better to stay with the Lakers." Tang Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting." Kobe Bryant looked at the oriental center next to him and asked, "Do you want this year's AMVP?" Scald. ”

I?

Tang Qian was stunned, because although he said that in the interview, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. One is that he is still young, and he may not be able to compete for these "bigwigs" who have been famous for a long time. The second is that he thinks that this AMVP is not that important, so it doesn't hurt to want it or not. The third is that he thought Kobe Bryant wanted a perfect ending at the end, so he didn't really plan to fight for this year's AMVP.

"But Bryant, don't you want it? If you can win this year's MVP+AMVP+FMVP, you will be the fourth person in NBA history. Only three people have done it before. Actually, it doesn't matter, the main thing is that among these three people is Kobe's "old enemy" Shaq. O'neill. So Tang Qian wasn't sure what Kobe Bryant really meant now.

"I said it, I just want to be the champion this year!" Kobe Bryant looked at Tang Qian, he had his own "little plan". After playing basketball in the league for so many years, he has long seen through the basic hearts of the people than before, and if he wants to improve the cohesion of a team, the effect of honor and slogans alone is too weak, and he must "lure him to advantage" the main helper.

This is not a bad "little ninety-nine", it is just a positive "inducement", and it is not a bad thing to share the benefits. The young Kobe Bryant didn't understand this, and the current Kobe Bryant could never have understood.

The 24th is stronger than the 8th, which is also an important point.

Let Tang Qian get an AMVP honor, maybe he looks like this award is average, but the former has not won it, then it is different. The first MVP-type trophy is always impressive and inspiring.

Kobe himself remembers the excitement and excitement he felt when he first lifted the trophy.

It can not only increase the spirit of teammates, but also increase the tacit understanding between teammates and themselves.

Kobe Bryant has now understood that if the Lakers want to win the championship this season, No. 29 is absolutely indispensable.

That's why he had such a thought.

As for O'Neal, hmph, the biggest attack is not the "three MVPs" of a single season, but the third ring of his own! In this way, it can be regarded as a real "equalization", a real transcendence!

It's really hard to say!

What's the point of sacrificing an AMVP for this?

"I ......"

"Don't me, I'll fight for the opportunity when it comes, and I will do my best to help you." Kobe Bryant laughed, "Go win the first MVP trophy of your career." ”

"Okay." Tang Qian was also aroused by Kobe's words, and nodded vigorously.
