Chapter 409: Grabbing the board on the giant's head

The Suns' home stadium was built in 1992 and is now called the West Arena, which was renamed the American Airlines Center in '06 and the Torkins Dick Resort in '15. In fact, the stadium is the same building, but the name has been changed due to different sponsors.

Li Wei listened to the boos in the Meixi Arena, smiled slightly, and then made a listening gesture.

He's getting more and more used to booing now, and if no one boos him, he's really not motivated to play!

The fans of the Meixi Stadium saw that Li Wei was provoking, and they booed even more!

Danny Ainge saw that the Knicks were on the full bench lineup, and he was not polite, with a wave of his hand, he also replaced three substitutes!

Oliver Miller replaces Luke Longley, Rodney Rodgers replaces Marion, and Todd Daye replaces Penny Hardaway!

Oliver Miller is 2.06 meters tall and weighed 127 kilograms when he first entered the league. But over the years, he has continued to work hard, and his weight has continued to soar, and some media broke the news that he has reached 325 pounds (148 kg) and can crush O'Neal, so people give him the nickname of the universe Super Invincible No. 1 fat pig!

You know, O'Neal is only 315 pounds (143 kilograms) at the peak of his career, which is not as fat as he was in the latter part of his career!

The Suns' backup small forward Rodney Rodgers, who is 2.01 meters tall, is the No. 9 pick in '93, and is also a very strong player, who played the feat of scoring 9 points in 8 seconds in his rookie season.

It was on February 8, '94 when the Jazz faced the Nuggets, with 31 seconds left in the game, the Jazz led by eight points at 94-86, and Rogers Young, who was playing for the Nuggets at the time, hit a three-pointer!

After that, the Jazz served two baseline balls, which were stolen by Rogers' teammate Reggie Williams and then passed to Rodgers. The talented small forward hit two more threes after receiving a pass!

With 9 points in 8 seconds, the Nuggets overtook their opponents by one point!

In terms of scoring explosiveness in a short period of time, no one can surpass Rogers!

Unfortunately, after Rodgers scored 9 points, the game wasn't over yet!

In the next round, Stockton assisted Jeff Malone (the Jazz's shooting guard and the team's second-leading scorer, not Karl Malone), and the opponent hit, and the Jazz beat the Nuggets 96-95.

In his previous season, Rodney Rodgers also won a Sixth Man of the Year trophy, which can be said to be the strongest point on the Suns' bench!

Another substitute, Todd Daye, is 1.98 meters tall, a genius who graduated from the University of Arkansas, the No. 8 pick in 92, and scored 41 points off the bench when he played for the Celtics, and his strength should not be underestimated!

Kidd and Gugliotta didn't come off the pitch and they had to play with the bench for a while.

Danny Angie gestured at Li Wei and gestured to Kidd.

Kidd nodded and smiled knowingly, his task is to break Li Wei and consolidate the Suns' lead!

"Coach, be careful, Kidd was the league's No. 1 point guard last season!" Dale Curry laughed.

Li Wei said: "You don't think I'm going to defend Kidd, right?" It's yours! ”

"Hahaha!" The players chuckled.

Dale Curry rolled his eyes: "Don't bring such a bully!" ”

Li Wei said: "It's yours, no discussion!" ”

Dale Curry had no choice but to defend Kidd. In fact, he also knows that Li Wei can't defend against Kidd, a point guard in this era can have no projection ability, but his back hitting ability is super terrifying. Whether it's the older generation of Mark Jackson, the Mesozoic Kidd, Kassel, or the new generation of Andre Miller, they can eat Li Wei to death with their huge farts ten.

Why not introduce a five-second rule this season?

It doesn't take five seconds to beat Li Wei!

Dale Curry is the same height as Kidd, 1.93 meters, and weighs 86 kilograms, so he can defend opponents to a certain extent, much better than Li Wei.

Of course, Curry is a very good shooter and is the current all-time scoring leader of the Hornets, but his defensive ability is very average, otherwise he would not have played on the bench for the whole career, and the Hornets would rather start the 1.6-meter-tall Boggs than let him start.

Curry is now old and slower, and he will definitely not be able to keep up with Kidd.

But it doesn't matter, if you can't keep up with the footsteps, you can pull away the distance, and Li Wei can trust the offensive ability of Ji Bu Attack!

"If you can't put one meter, you can put one and a half meters, just pinch his breakthrough, don't let him break in!" Li Weidao.

So Kidd came to the front court with the ball, and saw Dell Curry shrinking inside the three-point line, not sticking forward, and putting on a clear posture of letting go of the shot!

"How can this be reasonable, do you really dare not vote for me?" Kidd was furious.

Kidd was really iron in the first few years of his career, shooting more than 30 percent from the field, not to 40, a bit like Billups.

However, although Kidd is iron-clad, he is organized, defensive, and rebounding, and no one thinks he is pitted, and he won the best rookie award in his first year. But Billups was not only iron in his rookie years, but also nothing, and during his time with the Raptors and Nuggets, even the victory contribution on the defensive end was negative (first on the team when the Raptors were the bottom, and third from the bottom on the team when the Nuggets).

That's right, although Billups is amazingly talented, he was not the kind of defensive gate that everyone imagined in the early part of his career, to put it bluntly, he took himself too seriously, his attitude was not correct, and he didn't think much about defense. When he hit rock bottom, he reflected on his previous mistakes, and then he was reborn.

Kidd, like Billups, is growing. He knows that his biggest problem is shooting iron, so he has been working three-point shooting, and in his previous life, when he retired, he even ranked third in the NBA's three-point shooting list, only Reggie Miller and Ray Allen shot more than him.

In terms of shooting percentage, Kidd is of course the worst among the supergiants, but in terms of three-point shooting percentage, he can't be said to be a pit after hard work, he can meet the standards of ordinary guards, and even the first two seasons after he returned to the Mavericks in 08 in his previous life, he can be called very accurate!

Kidd, who has been practicing hard, has the confidence to shoot, and when he saw that Curry was unprepared, he decided to shoot one for the other party!

Close the ball, jump, three-point shot!

The Suns' leading point guard moves very fast!

Seeing this, Dale Curry can only symbolically interfere forward, and only God knows how much it can do.

"Dang!"

The ball didn't go in!

Although Kidd is sometimes accurate, most of the time he is convulsive, and the sky is not beautiful, and his shot bounced out of the basket!

A three-pointer at the top of the arc resulted in a long rebound that bounced far away!

Suns backup guard Todd Daye thinks about returning quickly and not giving the opponent a chance to play a fast break, and he doesn't have much awareness of rushing to the offensive rebound.

This is not to blame him, after all, most coaches want guards to be able to return quickly, not rush to the ethereal frontcourt rebounds!

But Todd Daye was not in a hurry to grab the board, but another person was in a hurry, he was Li Wei!

I saw the skinny little Li Wei rushing forward quickly, jumping high, and taking this defensive rebound in his arms!

"Oh my God, Coach Lee actually grabbed a rebound on Todd Daye's head!" Gary Bender, the Suns' home commentator, exclaimed.

Gary Bend's partner Eddie Johnson said: "Coach Lee's rebound is really wonderful, tsk, the difference between the two is nearly 30 centimeters, and Todd Daye can also be snatched of the rebound on the head!" ”
