The regular season is over, and Jordan is the scoring champion with 32.3 points. Ben Wallace averaged 15.4 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game in both rebounds and blocks. The assist king is Jason Kidd, who averages 9 games per game, and the steal king is Allen Iverson.

The Wizards' change not only cost Maddy from the playoffs, but also cost him his first scoring title.

The Wizards' first-round opponent is the Milwaukee Bucks, a team that just traded away its star player in the middle of the season.

The swap between Ray Allen and Gary Payton, which usually seems to be a success, is more valuable, and only relying on the young Ray Allen to exchange alone is obviously earned by the Bucks.

Fans' existing perception of the NBA often has a season-long delay, and they tend to be obsessed with judging who is more capable of last season, or even last season, which has already been concluded. And judging who is stronger at the moment will become a contest of stars and fans.

In fact, the Gary Payton trade for Ray Allen is the same as when the Lakers traded their All-Star starting center Divac for a 13th pick. Ray Allen isn't Kobe, and Divac isn't as good as Payton.

The Bucks did not make progress after the trade, but Gary Payton, who was highly expected by the team, chose not to renew his contract after 28 games and went to the Lakers alone. Since then, the Bucks' record has been worse year after year.

The SuperSonics didn't expect the traded Ray Allen to take the team to the third height in the West after a season. Although the supersonic later replaced the coach Nate McMillan, who led the team with excellent results, the supersonic inherent system was destroyed and the results fell again.

Maybe it was because he was slapped in the face too much by the Wizards, and this time there were no uninteresting media who stood up to question the Wizards. The rhetoric that the Wizards would win the series was overwhelming.

Old Doug and George Carr are old friends, and they are both old coaches in the league. This series is relatively less gunpowdery. Everyone was touting each other before the game, and the only tough remark was probably Gary Payton's words: "I used to lock up Jordan, and of course I can now." ”

In the 1996 NBA Finals, George Carr, then head coach in Seattle, decided to use point guard Payton to defend Michael Jordan at the point guard position. Although the Bulls won the championship in the end, Seattle, especially Payton's defense, did a good job of limiting the offensive output of this formidable Bulls team. He averaged 36.3 points per game in Jordan's first three Finals trips and scored at least 30 points in 14 of his 17 games. But in the '96 Finals, Jordan averaged just 27.3 points per game, scoring more than 30 points in only one of the six games.

In Game 4, when Jordan scored his lowest 23 points in a single Finals game under Payton's defense, NBC looked forward to Game 5 like this:

"[In Game 4, Jordan gets] his lowest score in the Finals, and Payton was defending him for most of the game. Although afterwards, Jordan didn't praise Payton, instead saying, 'Nobody can stop me, only I can drag myself back, I missed some easy shots.' But, the truth is, Jordan met Gary Payton, the toughest defensive player of the year. Payton was an unscrupulous, cheeky guy in his eyes, and it looked like Jordan was going to give him some color. “

If you really want to briefly describe Payton's defensive skills, it can probably be said that Payton defended Jordan as Kobe, which is a feat that no one has ever been able to do.

When it comes to the best defensive point guard in history, people tend to name Gary Payton, and the reason why Payton is so convincing is that Jordan's performance in the Finals defense is beyond words, except for a DPOY trophy.

But Peyton said that he can still limit Jordan now, and Hu Qingniu disagrees.

After Jordan met Hu Qingniu, he was no longer Jordan, perhaps he could be called a steel-strengthened Jordan. The Wizards have tested it, and Jordan's already amazing bounce is still slowly improving over the course of the season. That's a fantasy for a 40-year-old athlete.

But Jordan's shocking dunk against the Pacers is proof of this. In the team test, at the beginning, Jordan could only touch a height of about 3.89 meters, and as the season went on, the current Jordan can probably touch a height of nearly 4 meters, and the upper edge of the rebound is only 3.96 meters, the man who really touched the upper edge of the rebound!

There are all kinds of legends about the top edge of the rebound in the NBA, the most outrageous of which is the case of the rookie of KG touching the top edge of the rebound 19 times in one breath during the physical test, which shocked everyone. Later, KG also clarified that he could not touch that height.

The real reality is that no one in the NBA can touch the height of 3.96 meters, and it is said that the famous dunker James White claims that he can touch the top edge of a rebound once a hundred times, and who knows the real truth.

Touching the top edge of the rebound was such a shocking thing that all the Wizards who witnessed it were dumbfounded. As a result, the players trusted Hu Qingniu's inexplicable movement therapy even more.

The atmosphere within the Wizards before the game was joyful, and everyone seemed to have not yet come out of the joy of winning the regular season championship. The strength of the Bucks is just like that in the eyes of everyone, and it doesn't pose a real threat.

The same goes for Hu Qingniu, and the Bucks really have nothing to fear. There are not a few players worth noting, Gary Payton, Sam Cassel, Michael Reed are just three, of which Reid is not reused, just a bench player.

Glove Peyton and the alien Cassel are also easy to deal with, and Hu Qingniu's strategy is to pinch their weak point - short stature.

Payton is 193 tall and Kassel is 191, and both weigh around 180 pounds, and the two pair pair up in the backcourt and have little to meet a mediocre backcourt opponent. But if Hu Qingniu sends a combination of pennies and Jordan, the two tall guards are also full of physical fitness.

Whether it is height, weight or athleticism, it is crushing, and now the Bucks' backcourt should be out of drama.

The Bucks didn't have anyone else except for these two backcourts, so Hu Qingniu wasn't worried about any waves in this round of games.

Why Hu Qingniu wanted Penny and Hill in one bite, in addition to the fact that they could maximize the value in Hu Qingniu's hands, that is, Hu Qingniu thought of the playoff competition early on.

If Hu Qingniu were asked which position was the most important in the playoffs, he would say it was a wing player.

Tall wing players, wing players who can shoot, wing players who can defend, wing players who can play.

The continuous evolution of the playoffs has taught Hu Qingniu a truth, and the versatile wing player can change the whole game. The depth of the wing position determines the depth of the team's changes, that is, the depth of the background.
