The Hornets in the early 90s, with Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning, two strong interior lines, made countless teams drool. It's a pity that these two bigwigs are short-tempered and turn against each other, and the management is angry, and they have a tearful sale.

The teams that robbed these two giants were the Heat and the Knicks, with the Heat paying the main chip being Glenn Rice and the Knicks paying the main chip being Anthony Mason.

Last season, Rice and Mason were both named to the NBA All-NBA First Team, with Rice on the second team and Mason on the third team, and Mason was also named to the All-Defensive Second Team, and they were two of the Hornets' brightest stars.

What is the best team second and third team?

Every year, the NBA selects the league's best five players (2 guards, 2 forwards, and 1 center) as the first team, and the second best five players are the second team and then the third team. A total of fifteen people, three sets of lineups, collectively known as the best lineup.

In the same way, the five people who defend best every year (2 guards, 2 forwards, and 1 center) are the best defensive team, and then the second team, a total of 10 people, collectively known as the best defensive team, and there are no three defensive teams.

Of course, there are also some very powerful superstars who can't get into the best team. For example, Ewing in 94, the fourth place on the MVP list, was full of stars, but he was not selected for the best team of the year. There is no way, there can only be three centers in the best team, and one of the four centers must be defeated.

The Hornets started today with Glenn Rice, Anthony Mason, Verratti Divac, David Wesley, Tony Famar.

The Hornets fans screamed in unison as they saw their starters play, and Steve Martin excitedly made the introduction.

In everyone's opinion, it is not a problem for the strong Hornets to eliminate the Knicks in the throes at all, and Hornets head coach Dave Cowens also thinks so, and he even looks at Li Wei with contempt.

Cowens is a Celtics coach and Celtics legend, one of the NBA's 50 superstars, and the No. 18 jersey retired with the Celtics (yes, the number that the Celtics retired twice).

How strong was Cowens as a player?

He is currently the only two people who occupy the first place in the team in all five statistics in a single season!

In the '77–78 season, he scored the most points on the team, grabbed the most rebounds on the team, handed out the most assists on the team, blocked the first on the team, and took the lead in steals!

Another man who is as famous as Cowens is Pippen. In the 94-95 season when Jordan retired, Pippen also led the team in five statistics, so I asked you if you were afraid!

In Li Wei's previous life, 20 years later, there were three pentathlon masters who joined the club, they were Garnett in the 02-03 season, James in the 08-09 season, and Brother Alphabet in the 16-17 season!

In terms of comprehensive technology, no one can compare to these five!

By the way, Dave Cowens when he was a player and Nelson Sr. and Don Cheney were teammates for many years, and he couldn't understand how his old friend Don Cheney could lose to the Knicks in the summer.

If the Knicks led the team with Chuck Daley, it would be fine, but the problem was that he wasn't!

You can't beat an Italian rookie coach, and the face of the old Celtic has been lost by you!

Dave Cowens felt that he had to win today, either because he was swept by the Knicks in last year's playoffs, and because he wanted to save face for his old friend Don Cheney.

Although Don Cheney has lost face in the summer league, he feels that he can still fight for the coach of Kai by beating Li Wei!

Li Wei saw that Dave Cowens ignored him, and he was also a little angry. But after thinking about it, people are famous, it's normal for the shelves to be bigger, and it's better not to talk than to spray with him like Bird.

"Play hard, our goal this season is not to win, but to run in the lineup, develop your skills, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, but I want to see your attitude and see your progress!" Li Wei said loudly.

"Yes!" The Knicks players responded in unison.

Serving in midfield, Big Z's opponent is Divac.

When it comes to Divac, old fans will be familiar with the Serb, one of the first European players to go to the NBA in the late 80s of the 20th century, 2.16 meters tall, the only man in the world who has replaced Kobe Bryant, and has the best fake fall acting skills of this era.

He is very well-rounded, has a good mid-to-long-range basket, and is one of the first centers in the NBA to shoot three-pointers. In addition, he has top-level adaptability, when he was with the Lakers, he averaged 4.1 assists per game in a single season, and after he came to the Kings in his previous life, he became one of the central pillars of the Princeton system, and he averaged 5.3 assists per game in a single season.

This year's Divac is only 29 years old, and his physical condition is still at his peak, but he didn't jump over the rookie opposite when he jumped the ball!

Seeing that Big Z's hand hooked lightly, he hooked the ball to Charlie Ward, and all the Hornets home fans let out a sigh!

Charlie Ward dribbled forward, and the Hornets organized guard David Wesley to immediately come over to defend.

Rockets fans will remember David Wesley, an inspirational draft pick, who played point guard next to Da Yao and squeezed Maddie to play small forward.

However, he is only 1.83 meters tall and was a playmaker when he first entered the league, and this year the Hornets signed him at a high price, which also allowed him to control the ball.

Instead of battling Wesley, Ward threw the ball to Garnett.

At present, the Knicks' offensive system is to run and run, and if they can't run and play positional battles, there are two routines.

The first routine is D'Antoni's housekeeping skills, V-shaped offense, mainly used by Nash with substitutes. Another routine is that Li Wei imitates the offensive routine of the 73-win Warriors in his previous life, and lets Garnett play the role of Draymond Green in his previous life, as a playmaker and shooters.

Charlie Ward is actually a very good open three-point shooter, shooting 42.8% from the field in the most accurate season and 36% from three-point range in his career.

It's a pity that the Knicks now have Alan Houston, Steve Nash, and Jeff Hornacek, and Ward can only kneel for the uncles.

After passing the ball to Garnett, Ward started to run. Big Z gave him a screen, and then he came to a cross-screen with Houston.

Everyone knew that Houston was accurate, so they took special care of him, and there was a brief gap on Ward's side, and Garnett's pass arrived immediately!

Charlie Ward jumped, shot, and scored three points, and the Knicks led 3-0!

The Hornets attack, Glenn Rice cuts in the air. Divac, who was playing in the high position, grasped the opportunity quite accurately and passed the ball at the first time!

But Glenn Les never expected that Garnett, who had thought he had been thrown off, strode after him from behind, covering the sky with two long big hands!

"Why am I so unlucky to meet such a thing?"

But complaining is complaining, he also knows that he is the boss of the team, and every team will serve the best people, Jordan and Pippen have been with him!

In order to avoid being blocked, Glenn Rice shot a little urgently, and then hit the iron, and the rebound was won by Big Z!
