In addition to Carter, another Jordan successor that the media is optimistic about is Kobe Bryant of the Lakers.

As we all know, Glen Rice was a superstar a season ago and a regular on the league's All-NBA team, while Eddie Jones, although a star, was not a supergiant, not even his backup Kobe Bryant in the team, and was eventually traded by the Lakers for Rice.

At that time, the Lakers got Rice because Rice didn't want to stay with the Hornets, but after a season, Rice has faded and become a star, but Eddie Jones is becoming more and more a superstar!

Comparing the heads and negatives, everyone can come to an amazing fact, that is, O'Neal is too useless to his teammates!

It's hard to say whether O'Neal is the most wasted teammate in history, but with the blessing of such a strong wasted teammate aura, Kobe Bryant can still play a dazzling performance, making the team decide to give up the original starting quarterback, another Eddie Jones with super potential, which is really incredible!

So the better Eddie Jones plays, the more he can prove Kobe's horror, if there is no fat who is a waste teammate around, Kobe Bryant can definitely be better than Eddie Jones!

Maybe in this era, there can be two Jordans, they are Carter and Kobe!

The media must be as amazing and eye-catching as they can say, and both Carter and Kobe Bryant are praised very highly. But in fact, neither Kobe nor Carter can become Jordan.

As long as there are enough shots, the vast majority of NBA players can cut an average of 20+ points per game, the difference is how accurate their shooting percentage is.

As a guard, Michael Jordan shot 51.5% from the field in his rookie season!

If he is like Steve Kerr, who only shoots when he encounters an open position, and his average points per game are not high, then the reference value of this shooting percentage is not much, but the key is that he averaged 28.2 points per game in his rookie year, second only to Bernard King and Larry Bird in the league!

Kobe and Carter are indeed excellent, but when you compare the shooting percentage, you will find that they have never had a season in their lives, and they can be as accurate as Jordan in their rookie years, let alone compared to Jordan at their peak.

In the 90-91 season, when Jordan won the championship for the first time, the average shooting rate of the season was as high as 54%, not to mention compared with the guards, even if all the centers in the season were compared with Jordan, there were not many people who could rank in front of Old Man Joe!

What's more, at that time, Jordan won the scoring championship year after year, and he was the first scoring point of the Bulls, and everyone knew that he wanted to shoot, and tried all kinds of ways to defend and wrap up, but unfortunately it was still useless!

He's God's Order!

These Jordan successors launched by the media, the most accurate is actually the penny Hardaway of the year, his hit rate in the second grade was 51.2%, and the third grade was slightly better, 51.3%, but unfortunately the Magic team was disabled in the fourth grade, and he could never return to the previous level, no one can imagine what it would be like if he was not injured and reached the peak, and the penny who could take over Jordan has become a legend.

On December 12, the Knicks continued to sit at home, narrowly beating the Boston Celtics.

This game can actually be won by a big one, but unfortunately after Li Wei came on the bench, he was beaten by Kenny Anderson and forcibly created suspense.

Kenny Anderson is the best player in the 90s, only 1.83 meters tall and weighs only 76 kilograms, but he is an excellent point guard born and raised on the streets of New York, with a gorgeous style of play and amazing skills.

Actually, Anderson has the strength of an All-Star, but he is too talented, he doesn't work hard at all, he likes to live a life of dogs and horses, and he doesn't put his mind on the court. In his entire career, he only played as an All-Star under Chuck Daley — not only as an All-Star, but also as an All-Star starter in the East.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived, Chuck Daley resigned at the end of that season, and Kenny Anderson immediately turned from a hero to a cancer, and was finally eliminated from the team by Willis Reed, the vice president and general manager of the Nets at the time.

As a native of New York, Kenny Anderson belongs to the kind of influential star in the New York area and deserves a lot of coverage, so the next day, the news that Coach Lee was beaten by Anderson quickly made headlines.

Coach Lee, who once blew up the first point guard and Marbury, is now beaten by Kenny Anderson, Anderson is mighty, and Anderson is back!

Li Wei could only smile bitterly when he saw the media report.

Once upon a time, only he was the only one who blew others up was news, but now he can become news when he is blown up by others, and this world is really fast!

But in the long season, these things are all episodes, and when you become a star, there will always be some people who will hack you, and there will always be some people who will praise you.

Although Li Wei's level is not strong, he is worth hundreds of millions, is a coach, and is the boss's boyfriend, so he has attracted special attention.

On December 13, the Knicks began their trip to Texas, where they will face the Rockets on the 14th and the Mavericks on the 16th.

Both of these games are the much-hyped games of the village women's station, because the Rockets have Olajuwon and the Mavericks have Dazhi!

The game against the Rockets is the top priority of the village women's station, O'Neal has not won the championship yet, and Olajuwon, who has two championship rings, is obviously the first of the four centers.

Da Yao played against Ewing and O'Neal last season, and he fought 7 games with David Robinson in the finals, and now only Olajuwon, the head of the four centers, has not played.

Yao Meng's duel is the biggest attraction of this game!

Everyone wants to see Yao Meng duel, but unfortunately, Da Meng Olajuwang is injured and can't play.

Not only is Olajuwon unavailable, but another superstar of the Rockets, Charles Barkley, is also on the injury list and cannot play!

Last season, Drexler retired, and Barkley only received an annual salary of 1 million in order for the team to attract strong reinforcements, and the Rockets lived up to Barkley's expectations and brought in Scottie Pippen, the second man in the world.

If you don't count the Magic Johnson in the 89-90 season, only five people won the MVP in the entire 90s, except for Jordan, Karl Malone and David Robinson, the remaining two are Olajuwon and Barkley.

Olajuwon and Barkley, the two MVPs, plus Pippen, the three giants are together, and they have a championship appearance at a glance!

Pippen got a new contract of 67 million for 5 years, which is also beautiful!

But then, Pippen is not beautiful, because he is better at breaking through to score, good at fast breaking, good at organization, the Bulls are weak inside, often play fast, play small balls, often empty the inside for him and Jordan to break through, he likes this style of play very much.

But the Rockets' interior line is not weak, Olajuwon and Barkley are not weak, they are superstars!

Pippen can't let others empty the inside line and make room for him, but instead has to stand on the outside and shoot the basketball, giving Olajuwon and Bucklila space!

"Damn, Lao Tzu is not a fixed-point shooter, and he is not good at this!"

In fact, many stars will have this kind of problem in a group, which is incompatible!

Everyone knows that the more you play under the basket, the higher the success rate, but there is such a place under the basket, there is you without me, with me without him, someone has to stand outside and open up the space!

Fortunately, the Knicks didn't encounter this kind of problem, Garnett likes the iron-blooded jump shot the most, Nowitzki is most criticized for being soft, always floating outside, not going inside, as for Alan Houston - you ask me how much I love you, and the jump shot represents my heart!

The Rockets are different, Olajuwon and Barkley are both looking at the inside line and are in a hurry, how can they squeeze in a Pippen?

Pippen once publicly complained to the media that he couldn't fit in with the team and embarrassed the Rockets, and Barkley quit.

Lao Tzu only gets an annual salary of 1 million, just for you to come, everyone wins the championship together, what are you doing crookedly? Lao Tzu shot only 21% from three-point range last season, and this season is even lower, don't you often stand outside to open up space for you?

Pippen rolled his eyelids: "That's why you only take a million, why you don't have a crown." Lao Tzu's annual salary is not 1 million, and Lao Tzu is not short of championships, see no, Lao Tzu has 6 rings on his hand, one of which still beats you to get! ”

So Barkley and Pippen broke out in conflict, after the Rockets lost to the Lakers in the first round, everyone knew that Pippen could not stay anymore!

In the offseason, the Lakers have been working hard and eager to get Pippen, and everyone knows that Pippen is the descendant of their new coach Phil Jackson, and he is also the best fit for Jackson's system!

Jerry West even came up with a plan for Glen Rice and Robert Horry to trade Pippen together. Rice is a star, even if the Lakers don't have the right to shoot, he can still average 18 points per game, and Horry is a strong and powerful player, when the Rockets won two consecutive championships, he was the team's starter, the most suitable system for Tang Shuai!

The Lakers felt that they were very sincere, except for O'Neal and Kobe, the best chips in their team were these two, but the Rockets did not accept it, they preferred the chips of the Trail Blazers!

What chips did the Trail Blazers come up with that made the Rockets excited?

The answer is Kevin Cato!

The current Kevin Cato is just a sophomore, with rough skills, almost no playing time in the Trail Blazers, averaging only 3 points and 3 boards per game, and Rockets fans don't even know who he is, but Carol Dawson traded him for Pippen!

The vision of the team management is different from that of the fans, Carol Dawson knows that the meat shield is the most valuable in this year, if it is an ordinary situation, Cato This potential young meat shield can even be a non-sale for the team, but the Trail Blazers want to win the championship too much, and the Pippen of the Rockets is full of stars, which makes them reluctant to trade Cato!

For the Rockets, Rice is already going downhill, Horry's skills have been finalized, and the young Kevin Cato is only a second-year player, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

Pippen is gone, Olajuwon and Barkley are a year older, the Rockets have no hope of winning the championship, they have to look to the future, and Cato is obviously more attractive!

Once Cato can grow into a super insider, they will make a lot of money, and even if the probability of this happening is not high, it is worth the gamble!

Of course, Pippen's big contract couldn't match Kevin Cato's rookie contract, and the Trail Blazers also gave away chips such as Stacy Ogmon, Carlos Rodgers, and Walter Williams to match the salary.

Stercy Ogmon was simply used to match the salary, and the Rockets cut him after the trade, and he didn't even go to Houston to sign with the Trail Blazers again. There's no Gary Payton clause yet, and players can return to their parent team at lightning speed.

Carlos Rodgers and Walter Williams were both junk contracts that the Raptors ate when they traded Stoudemire for the flying squirrel, and now they both have two years left on their contracts, and this time they added to the Pippen trade and came to the Rockets!
