Chapter 622: The Strongest Black Eight Team

"There are three remaining challenge opportunities in this layer, and if you defeat your opponent within three chances, you will be eligible to enter the upper layer. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info special note, if you can complete the sweep, this layer rewards a random ability card. The three chances are exhausted, the mission is over, and the challenger's full ability is zeroed. "The same hint, and the 4 teams randomly selected for Tang Qian this time are...... Well? Four teams? Wasn't it three teams before?

Tang Qian took a closer look at the "calendar board" on this layer, which read: This level challenges a random playoff team in NBA history, the number of games, 7 games and 4 wins, and the rules of the game are subject to the time and space rules of the challenged. The challenger has two powers to pick his teammates.

So, now not only have there been 4 teams to choose from, but there are also 2 teams that can choose independently?

The teams shown on the "calendar board" are Seattle SuperSonics, Oakland Oaks, Toronto Musks, and New Jersey Nets.

New Jersey Nets again? And the 2001-2002 season of the New Jersey Nets? Coincidental? Still is......

Tang Qian paid special attention to this matter, and then chose Kidd in the 2001-2002 season, and then Ray in the 2006-2007 season of the Seattle SuperSonics. Alan. Kidd doesn't need to introduce much, why he chose Ray. Alan? The answer is obvious, the super shooter style of "Junzi Lei" is very compatible with Tang Qian's current style of play, and there is no conflict and incompatibility between the three of them.

As for the rest of the random teammates, it's Mike. Wilkes (03-04), Alvin. Simms ('98-99), Damien. Wilkins (08-09), Monty. Williams ('94-'95), Jerry. Vilsko (05-06), Wally. Szczebiak (05-06), Terry. Cutridge ('91-92), Mike. McNamana ('82-83), Arnett. Moultrie (13-14 season).

What do these people say? Tang Qian looked at it in detail, there were few that could be eyed, but fortunately there was Wally. Szebiak and Terry. Catridge is on the cushion, otherwise this team will really have limited combat effectiveness.

is mainly a substitute lineup, basically people who average 2~3+ per game in various data in their careers, such people, to put it bluntly, are "water cooler guardians", except for garbage time, there is no chance to play. However, Wally in the 05-06 season. Szczebiak is still very good, this period of time is just his peak, he can contribute an average of 19+4+3 data per game, and the shooting rate is close to 49+40+90, almost entering the "180 club". However, this person has a very serious problem, that is, he has problems with his self-confidence, and he is easy to drop the chain in the playoffs, and the three-point long-range shooting technique that he was proud of in that era immediately changed from 4 to ...... as soon as he entered the playoffs 2 into, almost cut in half. So with this person, you can play downwind ball, but against the wind ball, then forget it.

Tang Qian's meaning is to let him play the No. 3 position, because his body is very thick, with a weight of more than 240+ pounds, and his height of 201CM cannot be said to be tall in the No. 3 position, but it is enough. However, he can only say that he has a serious attitude in defense, but his ability is ...... Well, there's a lack of heat. But Tang Qian thinks he can make up for this, as long as the opponent is not a super shooter team.

No. 4 Tang Qian arranged for Terry. On Catridge, although the 91-92 season is the penultimate year of his career, he can still have a data output close to 15+7. But this player is on the thin side, less than 220 pounds for most of his career, this kind of body wants to fight on the inside, the offense is good, the defense doesn't have to be counted on, and his height of 203CM also determines that he has never been a reliable interior guardian. Not everyone, it's Dennis. Rodman's.

However, his offensive skills are okay, which is enough, and Tang Qian can help him "wipe his ass" on the defensive end.

So the final lineup combination is PG Jason. Kidd SG Ray. Aaron SF Wally. Szebiak PF Terry. Carteridge C Don Dive. As for the sixth person, Tang Qian doesn't care, this group of people is almost the same, let's decide according to the specific situation of the game.

After Tang Qian's teammates were selected, the "calendar board" was re-activated, and the final picture was fixed on the New York Knicks, the New York Knicks in the 1998-1999 season. As soon as Tang Qian saw this team, he immediately reacted in his mind, because this New York Knicks team is an extremely famous team in history. The playoff ranking was only eighth, but it fought all the way to the 1999 NBA Finals. This was simply amazing at the time.

However, it is a pity that they did not create the biggest "Black Eight Miracle", and were defeated by the Spurs 4-1 in the finals. Duncan's first championship trophy and FMVP. Should this kind of luck be said to be good or bad?

The eighth place in the East is already the weakest level among the playoff teams, but it is the New York Knicks again.

Tang Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head, without complaining too much, standing in place, waiting for the coin to be tossed.

This time, Tang Qian's guess was accurate, and Tang Qian's team gained the home advantage of this round of the series.

The head coach of the team is still the same, a person who has never seen the same, but judging from the last game, the role of the head coach is not great, at least in the last round.

The two sides warmed up, and then the starting lineups of both sides came on, and the Tang Submarine team was: PG Kidd SG Ray. Aaron SF Wally. Szebiak PF Terry. Carteridge C Don Dive. The New York Knicks are: PG Latril. Sprewell SG Allan. Houston SF Larry. Johnson PF Marcus. Camby C Patrick. Ewing.

It looks strong, but Ewing, who is first inside, is close to 37 years old, although he can still output around 17+10 in the regular season, and he still averages 2.6 blocks per game, but the shooting percentage has fallen to the freezing point of his career. Compared to about 50% before, the "Gorilla" has only 43.5% shooting percentage left this season. If you have this kind of shooting percentage as a guard, that's okay, but as an interior power center...... Well, it's a bit of a stretch.

However, this is the regular season data, the playoff data, the decline is huge, and all of a sudden there is only 13+9 data left. The ability to protect the basket has also plummeted, compared to 2.6 in the regular season and only 0.7 in the playoffs, which is almost a fraction of the regular season. In this case, the "gorilla" Ewing is not terrible, and has long lost the brilliance of the "four centers" of the 90s. However, the rookie on the inside line who paired him with him was "third-grader" Marcus. Camby, a young man in his twentieth and fifth five, was crowned the league's block king last year with an average of 3.7 blocks per game, and his physical fitness is quite unfavorable for the Tang Submarine team to attack the basket.

As for the rest, the playoffs are all in supernormal form, Sprewell is averaging 20+ points per game, and Allan is playing in the playoffs. Houston averages nearly 19+ points per game, plus the former "Queen Bee" Larry. Johnson's 11+, these three make up the starting outside lineup of the "strongest Black Eight" team in history.

And they've been super tough defensively this season, allowing opponents to average around 85 points per game in the regular season, and what about the playoffs? Even more exaggerated, only 83 points remained. This is completely different from the "small ball era" of 110~120 at every turn. Super slow rounds, a lot of positional battles, is the magic weapon of this team.

Tang Qian faced them, and the attack was estimated to be extremely restricted.

Ewing and Camby, who just won the block title last season, are enough to give any interior invader a nightmare.

And it just so happens that they are all people with extremely strong basket protection skills.

Tang Qian thought about it and decided to reduce his shots in this round of the series and increase the outside strikes of his teammates.

The idea is good, but it is not necessarily necessary to fight, although Tang Qian has also played in the NBA for a season and a half, but this kind of ultra-low-round hand-to-hand combat is the first time to fight. In the first half, he felt extremely "constipated", because the opponent had no interest in playing fast attack and sports warfare at all, and the whole process was hard to beat, and the hit rate was not high. However, their shooting percentage is not high, but you don't want to go high, you can't cover the ball, and you will be knocked down when you hit it, and the penalty scale of this game is obviously towards the New York Knicks.

The referee has a wide range of blowing penalties for physical confrontations, so it is not particularly obvious and particularly bad foul action, basically you don't want a whistle, which makes Wally of the Tang Qian. Szzambiak instantly "dumb fire", because what he is not good at is fighting this kind of "hard battle". A body of more than 240 pounds, more like a pose, does not play a role.

Sprewell's defense is on the upper side, and he has scored the best second defense once in his career, and he has been stalking against Kidd and still has a good effect. The main reason is that Kidd averaged 4.5 three-point shots per game in the playoffs in the 01-02 season, but only hit 0.9 shots, that is, in the playoffs this season, Kidd only hit 18.9% of the three-point shooting rate in 20 games. With such a large shot base, with only such a hit rate, Kidd will definitely have to "take the blame". If he can maintain his career 3-3 and 3-4 three-point shooting percentages, then the Nets will not have any hope of beating the Lakers that season.

Well, at least like Iverson, winning one out of seven games shouldn't be a big problem.

But Kidd's three-point shooting percentage that year was simply a "mystery", and he himself later claimed in interviews that it was his "damn three-point shooting percentage" that ruined the Nets' first championship trophy. In fact, this is a bit exaggerated, because the Lakers that year, the advantage of the inside line was too obvious, the "peak shark" was powerful, and the Nets were completely unable to parry the inside line, if Kidd was on time, he might be able to drag into the tie-break, but if he wanted to win, it was even more difficult.

You must know that Kidd's three-point shots are basically shot when they have the opportunity, which is completely different from Kobe's type.

With a three-point shooting rate of around 18%, how could they not make the Nets despair that year?

And in this game, it was Tang Qian's turn to despair, because Kidd had already made 4 3-pointers in the open position, but he ...... T.M.D didn't throw any of them in. This made Tang Qian almost "roll his eyes".

Plus No. 3 Wally. Szzambiak was also in "sluggish" form, and the Tang Submarine team was greatly oppressed in the first game.

At halftime, the Tang Divers trailed the New York Knicks by six points.

The Knicks scored 45 points in the half, but what about the Downs? Only scored a pitiful 39 points, what is called "hand-to-hand combat", this round of the series is called "hand-to-hand combat". You can get 70~80 points in half a game with the later generations, and the speed and rhythm are completely different. You must know that the NBA rules of the 98-99 season are now enforced, and this era is an era of "torture" for outside players, because ...... Hand-checking is all the rage, and although the rules have been changed once in '94, it's still hard to break through and tear the defense apart.

As for the "body hair whistle" or something, don't even think about it.

In the 98-99 season, Hand-checking can no longer directly use the palm of the hand to push people to the top defense, but the forearm top defense is still no problem, and then there is the most important point...... Both the attacker and the defender can infringe on the advantageous position that the opponent has already occupied to a certain extent. This regulation seems very professional and difficult to understand, but when you experience it, you will understand that the large competition for positions is frightening. Well, and this season's Hand-Checking also allows defenders to change or block the attacker's path in the forearms, shoulders, buttocks, and other areas. Looking at it, do you feel that basketball in that era is completely different from modern times?

Later, Cole had a saying, which is very reasonable, the modification of the league rules determines the strength and weakness of a team. To put it more colloquially, it is "a version casts a type of god". In the case of no change in the rules, directly compared to the legendary team, it is not comparable at all. If you let the "72-win Bulls" play the rules of the 2017 game, then the half game will be all punished, and in turn, if you let the 2017 champion play the rules of that era, it will only be blown up by the Bulls and completely inaccurate.

In this way, you understand that in the era when Hand-checking has not been canceled, unless the super scorer, the break-through, the breakthrough player simply does not have this "regular" ability. The defense of the opponent will make you "miserable".

So in the 90s, the shooting rate of outside players was generally low, not unreasonable, even if "Qiao Shen" was a little older, because he lost the support of his superhuman body, the shooting rate fell, and the Bulls only shot 46% in the last year. In fact, looking at the playoff data, it is clearer that the 90s were the most rigorous period of hand-checking, and compared to the loose in the 80s, Qiao Shen's shooting percentage has been declining since 92. Even at the peak of 30 years old, it was only 47%.

47% is of course super strong compared to others, but compared to his own previous shooting percentage, it looks a little unsightly.

Therefore, under the highly strict Hang-Checking rules, being able to exceed 45% is a strong man, and Qiao Shen's later period is the last example. But if he comes to the modern ...... It's hard to say, it's not a problem to estimate that the shooting rate will exceed 50% again, because in terms of shooting selection, Qiao Shen is still unique on the outside.

Intermission, Tang Qian and Ray. Allen said: "Ray, just shoot, now you need to open the gap, I'll try to grab the rebound." ”

Thunder. Alun glanced at Tang Qian, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll strengthen the projection attack in the second half." ”

PS: I saw the discussion of some book friends, well, Xiaozi can only say that I thank you very much for helping Xiaozi speak, but writing a book can't satisfy everyone, Jin Yong Gulong can't do it, let alone Xiaozi. So all Xiaozi has to do is to persevere.

Don't say anything, add more tonight ~ to thank you for your love ~
