Chapter 310: Team Building Ideas for Team 76
As soon as Li Wei's remarks about creating a dynasty came out, the media was in an uproar.
Although it's incredible that the Knicks defeated the Heat and created the Black Eight Miracle, what an international joke are you making if a team that is eighth in the East wants to create a dynasty!
The Knicks have a lot of potential young people, but now the NBA is the one who gets the center!
None of the Knicks' rookies can be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, or Olajuwon!
Big Z may be the next super center, but the Knicks have sold him, and now Big Ben, who is in the top center position, is short and slim, not to mention, and can only defend. As for the titular starting center Da Yao, his strength is not high!
Of course, the Bulls don't have a super center and have created a dynasty, but they have Jordan!
With a 50% shooting rate in his career, he won 10 scoring titles in history, who can compare with the Knicks?
Garnett is tall and has long arms, but his style of play is completely outside, and as for Nowitzki, he is a seven-foot shooter. A team that is mainly on the outside may be able to play a good record, but they will never win the championship!
Coach Lee's self-confidence has swelled so much after the first round!
At the First Union Bank Arena, Li Wei looked at the team that was training and said: "I said that we have the ability to create a dynasty, the media are surprised, what do you think?" ”
Daben said: "What dynasty is not a dynasty, anyway, just try to win!" ”
"Hahaha!" The others laughed in unison.
Li Wei said: "Don't laugh, this is a very serious question, let's talk about it!" ”
Alan Houston said: "We can beat the Heat, the strongest team in the East, is enough to prove that we are the strongest, at least one of the best teams in the East, and I think we have what it takes to challenge for a championship!" ”
Li Wei said: "That's a good point. ”
"I think we can keep winning, at least not by a team like the 76ers," said Bo Outlaw. When we played the playoffs last year, they were still competing for lottery picks, and if they won a few more games in the regular season, they would cry right away. ”
Li Weidao: "Dabo is ambitious! ”
Garnett said: "Coach, I think we just want to build a dynasty, isn't it a championship, just keep winning!" ”
Li Weidao: "Kevin is right, as long as you keep winning, you will have a championship, but how to win?" That is, we must unite as one, the whole team is united, and always remember that we are a team, a family, and brothers who work together! ”
"That's right!" All the people responded in unison.
Li Weidao: "I know that there are many young players who always feel that they don't shoot enough times, want to score more, and want to get beautiful statistics. Pretty stats are all wanted, but winning is even more important. I advise you not to think so much, but to defend well, to execute tactics resolutely, regardless of personal gains and losses, and one day, when you wear a championship ring, you will know that all these sacrifices are worth it! ”
Everyone nodded in unison.
Li Wei continued: "Maybe we won't win the championship this year, but I want everyone in the team to take the championship as their goal at this moment, and our goal is not a championship trophy, but a dynasty!" Do you have the confidence to do it? ”
"Yes!" They all replied in unison.
Li Weidao: "To win the championship, what do we have to do first? ”
Charlie Ward said: "The first thing to do is to get rid of the Heat, we have succeeded, and the second is to get rid of the 76ers, so we won't be afraid of this bad team that has a win rate of more than 50% for the first time in 8 years!" ”
"That's right, kill the 76ers!" Garnett yelled.
Li Wei saw the team with high morale and nodded with satisfaction.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the first game of the playoffs between the Knicks and the 76ers was officially staged at the First Union Bank Arena.
The Knicks' starting five are Charlie Ward, Alan Houston, Kevin Garnett, Beau Outlaw, and Big Yao.
The 76ers' starting five are:
The center, from Georgia Tech, is 2.13 meters tall and wears the number 52 jersey of Matt Geiger.
Geiger is the white center of the Hornets who squeezed Divac to the bench last season, with a super big meat shield and a fierce defense, who once broke O'Neal.
In his previous life, he was signed by the 76ers in the offseason, and although the 76ers got Big Z in this life, after Big Z was injured, Larry Brown still brought Geiger to the top.
Matt Geiger has a shaved head and looks extremely tough, but he is actually doing this to support his twin brother Mark Geiger.
Mark Geiger was very unlucky, he had Hodgkin's disease at the age of 22, and because of chemotherapy, his hair fell out at a young age, so Matt also shaved his hair to accompany him.
Wearing the No. 42 jersey is power forward Theo Ratliffe, the No. 18 pick in the first round in 95, the same class as Garnett, from the University of Wyoming, 2.08 meters tall, three block kings in his previous life, two best defensive teams, and an All-Star, but unfortunately missed due to injury.
If it weren't for the frequent injuries, his career would have been even more exciting.
George Lynch, a small forward wearing the No. 9 jersey, is 2.03 meters tall and is from the University of North Carolina, the alma mater of Jordan, Carter and others, and is also an alumnus of their head coach Larry Brown.
Many people may not know that 76ers coach Larry Brown is also from the University of North Carolina, the coach is 1.75 meters tall, was an organizational guard when he was young, and played in the ABA professional league for 5 seasons after graduation, averaging 13.7 points and 7.1 assists per game in his peak season.
George Lynch, who won an NCAA championship trophy for North Carolina and the Michigan Five Tigers, was defeated by George Lynch and his teammates, and it can be said that it was a miracle worker.
In 93, the giant Lakers selected George Lynch with the No. 12 pick, and Lynch in his rookie year showed strong strength, once scored 30 points in a single game, and also grabbed 18 rebounds in a single game, as strong as Doug Christie could only take a back seat and play him off the bench.
However, as in many stories of the Winged Angels, Lynch, a sophomore, suffered an injury, and when he returned from injury, there was no place for him on the team. Later, in order to free up salary space to sign O'Neal, the Lakers threw him to the Grizzlies, where he was injured again.
Last season, George Lynch recovered from injury and finally played a full season with the Grizzlies as a bench, and Larry Brown felt he fit well with the 76ers' system and poached him.
After all the ups and downs, Lynch knew he couldn't be a superstar anymore, and his main tasks on the court were to defend and grab rebounds.
Don't look at Lynch's height is only 2.03 meters, he averaged 9.8 rebounds per game in college, and his steal ability is very strong, and he is the steal king in the history of the University of North Carolina.
Wearing the No. 20 jersey is organizational guard Eric Snow, 1.91 meters tall, from Michigan State University, 2 rounds of 95 rounds.
Snow spent the first three years of his career on the SuperSonics and was a water cooler patron, and Coach George Karl, who advocates offense, looked down on him because he couldn't shoot accurately.
But after arriving at the 76ers, Larry Brown was like a treasure. Brown's aesthetic is completely opposite to Karl, it doesn't matter if he is offensive scum, just be willing to defend. Under Larry Brown's training, Snow became a defensive giant!
The last of the 76ers' starters, of course, was Allen Iverson, a shooting guard wearing the No. 3 jersey. 96 years of champion Xiu, from Georgetown University, 1.83 meters tall, the new scoring champion, the league's best guard!
From the starting lineup of the 76ers, we can see that Larry Brown's idea of building the team is becoming more and more clear.
Iverson doesn't like to pass the ball, so the team doesn't need any shooters to open up space, just change the defensive giants, Iverson has to shoot more than 20 times per game, so the team doesn't need a second scoring point, just change the defensive giants, Iverson is too short and the defensive end suffers, so the whole team must be defensive giants, wipe his ass at any time!
Therefore, the 76ers are also a team with iron-blooded defense, and if you don't play iron-blooded these days, you won't be able to eat it at all!
Larry Brown's team plays in a super lewd way, and the goal is to be worse than bad.
I'm a defensive squad, I can't score, I can't let you score, everyone is worse than whom, but at the end of the game I have a super unsolvable scoring point - the league scoring champion Iverson, and you don't, so I can win!
