In this day and age, it's all too rare for a center in the NBA to shoot three-pointers. Needless to say, there are not many big forwards who are willing to shoot three-pointers.

Why is Dirk Nowitzki called a soft egg? Just because he is a power forward, he always likes to stand outside and shoot three-pointers!

In the eyes of Americans, an inside line that doesn't fight hand-to-hand inside, and doesn't bump into those muscular men, that's soft!

This is actually a very nonsensical thing, people can score elegantly on the outside, and it is extremely accurate, why do you have to run to the inside to squeeze?

Nowitzki is not sick in his brain, and of course he can't play according to the brain circuits of fans, so the label of soft eggs has been labeled for a lifetime, and later even his own fans jokingly called him "I am soft", that is, "my soft egg". This is similar to some Kobe fans jokingly calling Kobe "Tieke" and "Scumbag", which is a kind of self-ridicule.

Of course, Kobe fans on the forum call Kobe the most "volute", that is, "my department", Kobe Bryant's playing era, whenever there is a discussion about Kobe Bryant on the forum, you can see the reply of "dark volute", that is, the homonym "black my department", they think that their star has been hacked.

Because NBA centers barely shoot three-pointers, Rick Schmitz has no sense of defending three-pointers at all. Seeing Big Z standing outside the three-point line, he drilled directly under the basket, protecting the basket and protecting the rebound, this is what a center should do!

Schmitz was unguarded, and the big Z was completely empty. Li Wei's requirement for Big Z and others is that as long as they are in a three-point vacancy, they have unlimited firing rights, so Big Z must vote!

"Bang!"

In the amazed eyes of everyone, the ball drew an elegant arc and fell towards the basket!

Immediately after that, there was a "bang", and it brushed out of the basket and bounced outside!

Didn't go in!

"Oops!" The fans sighed in unison, and then looked at Big Z with a strange look!

You're a big center, you don't protect the basket under the basket, what kind of threes do you shoot while standing outside?

Look, I didn't go in, this style of play is unreasonable!

Seeing this, Larry Bird also giggled: "Letting the center shoot three points is really a magical tactic, and you can figure it out!" ”

Li Wei smiled lightly and was noncommittal.

He knew that the goal was not scored, which attracted everyone's ridicule, because the center should not stand outside, this is "common sense"!

However, he himself doesn't think this is common sense, and he doesn't care about the big Z striking iron at all.

The closer you get to the basket, the more accurate your shot will be. Three-point is the scoring method with the highest probability of hitting iron, even Nash, the king of the 180 club, only has a 47% shooting rate in the most accurate three-point year!

In other words, he spends more than half of his time striking iron!

You can't be afraid of iron when you shoot three points, and that kind of situation can only appear in novels and anime!

It's too late, it's fast, after Big Z hit the iron, the ball bounced high, and Rick Schmitz, who was standing under the basket to protect the basket, couldn't reach it, so he could only watch the ball fall into the distance!

This is actually a weakly watched advantage of three-point tactics, that is, long-range shots are easy to cause long rebounds!

When the ball bounces high, it is less likely for the center to grab a defensive rebound under the basket, and the others have more opportunities!

Garnett, who was standing outside the three-point line, immediately took a step forward and jumped high as soon as he saw the ball coming!

Chris Mullin, who was defending Garnett, squeezed Garnett hard and wanted to compete with him!

It's a pity that Mullin is too short to be a match for Garnett in terms of rebounding, and Kevin Garnett plucked the ball off his head, flicked it lightly, and threw it back to Big Z!

Big Z continues to vacate the spot, keep throwing!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Another iron!

"Oops!" The fans can't stand it!

It's not enough for you to hit one iron with a big center, continue to float outside with a second iron?

There's a disease in the brain, right?

Some fans are even starting to boo Big Z!

"Haha, the center has three points and two irons, what a clever tactic!" Bird looked at Li Wei, mocking.

Li Weili ignored him.

How can a shooter be afraid of iron, as a peerless shooter, even if he strikes a hundred irons, he must boldly throw one hundred and one!

Otherwise, how could Korver be called Tieko? How could Klay Thompson be called Tieguanyin? How did Danny Green come to be called the Emperor Amma?

(Note: Huang Ama is played by Zhang Tielin, this nickname means Green who strikes iron with open hands!) ）

Three-point shooter, never be afraid to strike iron!

After two consecutive irons in the big Z, Pacers power forward Dale Davis grabbed a defensive rebound, and Mark Jackson advanced with the ball!

Pull away, drop the ball to Rick Schmitz, and the Pacers continue to single Big Z!

Big Z couldn't make two shots, and he felt a little angry in his heart, and the defense of Rick Schmitz was more attentive!

Schmitz hits again!

The Knicks defended the rebound, but the fast break was blocked again, and the ball was handed over to Big Z outside the three-point line!

The big Z in the empty position continues to throw, and then "bang"!

Triple Iron!

"Hahaha!" Bird couldn't stand up with a straight back laughing!

Madison Garden was booed all over the place, and people were booing the big Z three shots!

As the largest city in the United States, the Knicks have the largest number of fans in the United States, but they are also the most disloyal, and it is unceremonious to boo their own stars, let alone the newcomer Big Z.

The Pacers grabbed the defensive rebound and attacked Schmitz again, and Schmitz also missed three shots!

It's funny to say, the same three shots didn't score, and people were booing Big Z, but no one paid attention to Schmitz. Because Schmitz's three shots are all inside singles, which is a "reasonable ball" in the eyes of everyone, it doesn't matter if the shot is not accurate, and the three points of Big Z are "unreasonable", so if you don't make three shots, you have to be booed!

In fact, Li Wei knows in his heart that the big Z vacant triple iron is relatively rare, and it may be the first time to play at home, so he is a little nervous!

Again, the shooter can't be afraid of iron!

As a coach who cultivates newcomers, Li Wei can't be afraid of players. If a rookie hits two irons and doesn't let people shoot, or replace, what's the difference between him and Larry Brown?

Bring new people, you have to have more tolerance and encouragement!

Schmitz defensive rebound, Pacers offensive position!

The Dutch giant shrugged at Larry Bird on the sidelines, and the meaning was obvious: the Knicks' Lithuanian center is not at all the weakest link in the Knicks team as we imagined in advance!

At least he can't eat it alone!

Larry Bird was a little depressed at this point. Although Schmitz is not a superstar, he is also the second leader of the team, and he can't even eat a rookie center, who is not depressed when he sees it?

What's more, Schmitz is the most consistent point of the Pacers' singles, and the rest of the team's independent scoring ability is relatively poor. For example, Reggie Miller, the team's big leader, is top as a pitcher, but his individual singles ability cannot be compared with Jordan and other superstars.

If you analyze it carefully, the Pacers are actually a team without a real supergiant, and Reggie Miller is not as young and fashionable as Jordan and Ewing, let alone now in his thirties. The strengths and weaknesses of other players are even more obvious, which is why everyone is not optimistic about the Pacers.

How to make the most of the team's strengths and avoid weaknesses, maximize the team's advantages, and hide the shortcomings, this is the problem in front of Bird!

Schmitz couldn't move, and was stopped by the rookie center, so Bird had to quietly make a gesture: use the second set of tactics!

On the court, the Pacers players started running to cover the off-ball. The team's first offensive option for the second set of tactics is Reggie Miller, and they need to block the gap for Miller!

Since the rules do not allow joint defense, one defense and one that is necessary. The Knicks' man defending Reggie Miller is Kevin Garnett!

Reggie Miller went around the screen, seemed to shake off Garnett, and then caught the ball and shot!

It's a pity that at this time, a big slap came over!

"Bang!"

A sturdy big hat!

Miller was stunned, and the other players on the scene also widened their eyes in surprise!

Then, the entire audience at MSG (i.e., Madison Square Garden) burst into earth-shattering cheers!

MSG radio announcer Greg Gumbell exclaimed, "Oh my God, Kevin Garnett is so fast, he can get it!" ”

Fraser nodded: "That's right, Kevin should be seven feet tall, such a tall height, such long arms, running to prevent Reggie Miller, isn't this bullying?" ”

Gumbell said: "The key is Garnett's speed, not slower than Miller at all, I think Reggie Miller will be prevented from crying today!" ”

Fraser said: "You know now, why Garnett can be worth 128 million in 6 years, right? Seven feet tall and so agile that even Reggie Miller can defend against him, isn't that a guy who doesn't get a big contract? ”

Gumbell said: "I beg your pardon, I'm not disrespectful to Garnett, but no matter how powerful the defensive guard is, it's not worth a 100 million yuan contract." Do you think he can be a superstar like Jordan and O'Neal? I don't think so! ”

"Yo yo yo! Pretty! Fraser didn't bother with his colleagues, but screamed!

Because after Garnett's big hat Miller on the court, he actually grabbed the ball that was covered, and then attacked quickly!

Miller couldn't catch up, so he could only run in vain for a while, and then watch Garnett dunk the ball in!

The ball was smashed into the basket and the score was 2:0!

After several long iron rounds, the Knicks finally broke the deadlock and scored!

And it was Garnett, a seven-foot-long man, who scored on a fast break!

The MSG scene once again resounded with earth-shattering cheers!

Fraser exclaimed: "Seven-foot, guard, block, fast-break, Kevin Garnett's talent is the best in the NBA!" ”

Gumbell said: "But his confrontation is too poor, and he can't squeeze people on the inside line." Seven feet tall, can you play outside all the time? Is it appropriate for such a tall person not to grab rebounds and wander outside all the time? Only those who win the inside line can win the championship! ”

Fraser said: "It's also said, how Coach Lee uses Garnett in the new season is also a big attraction for us, after all, this player is too different, I hope the 128 million we spend is worth it!" ”

The Pacers attacked, Reggie Miller didn't have a chance, and Mark Jackson gave the ball to Chris Mullin on the other side!

Mullin has always been known for his long-range projection (harmony) accuracy, but now that he is old, his marksmanship is still there. Then again, that's how he uses it on the field, and I can't really count on anything else!

Mullin's chances were great, with the help of Dale Davis, he had bypassed Houston and Oakley's defense was a little slower!

It's a pity that the marksman also has a time when he strikes iron, and he often throws outside, how can he not strike iron?

With a "bang", Mullin was iron, the ball bounced out of the basket, and Big Z grabbed the defensive rebound!

Li Wei smiled at Bird: "It seems that your small forward is as accurate as my center!" After the race, I can give him a pair of Iron God sneakers, which are produced by my own shoe factory, and the quality is very good! ”

Bird didn't know what the "Iron God" meant, but he also heard Li Wei's tone not good, and he said coldly: "Didn't you just lose one?" You'll be crying in a moment! ”

Li Wei said: "If you lose, I won't cry, or you should cry slowly!" ”
