Chapter 177: God's Guard
After a pause, Li Wei said: "There is another great player who is also No. 1, that is Knight Archibald, he is the only guy in the NBA who can win both the scoring title and the assist title so far.
Of course, I know someone is going to say that Mr. Archibald wore the No. 10 jersey when he won both the scoring and assists titles, but the Knicks' No. 10 has retired, and if I wear it casually, Walter will jump from the commentary podium and hit me! ”
"Hahaha!" The reporters laughed in unison.
Knight Archibald, like Oscar Robertson, is a Kings legend. At that time, the Kings were not called the Kings, but the Cincinnati Royals, and later moved, renamed the Kansa Omaha Kings, and then moved, and renamed the Kansas City Kings.
Archibald wandered with the Kings, first wearing No. 10 and then No. 1, and his No. 1 jersey was also retired by the Kings.
Archibald went to the Celtics at the end of his career, and when Larry Bird won his first championship, Dennis Johnson hadn't gone yet, and the starting playmaking guard for the Kais was Archibald.
A reporter said: "Mr. Li, do you also want to be like Mr. Archibald, winning the scoring title and the assist title at the same time?" ”
Li Weidao: "You're so right, I not only want to average a triple-double like Oscar Robertson, but also want to win both the scoring and assists like Archibald!" ”
"Hahaha!" The journalists laughed again.
This Coach Li has been calm for a while, and now he has begun to talk wildly again. Averaged a triple-double per game, won the scoring title and the assist king at the same time, he really dared to think!
"But!" Li Wei's voice changed, and he added: "You all know that playing in the NBA height advantage is very important, Mr. Archibald is too tall and too advantageous, I may not be able to achieve his achievements in my life!" ”
"Hahahaha!" This time, the reporters all laughed and fell down.
Archibald is only 1.85 meters tall, nicknamed the elf, and is a famous short man in the NBA.
Also, compared to Li Weiyi, Archibald is really too tall!
"I know what you're laughing at." Li Wei blinked, "There is also a person who is much taller than me and also wears No. 1, I guess you must know who he is!" ”
The reporters in Orlando said in unison, "Tini Boggs! ”
Tini Boggs was the shortest player in the NBA before Li Wei, but compared to Li Wei, he is also a cut taller. Li Wei is now talking about his height, and he must be talking about this one.
Li Weidao: "That's right, Tini is also No. 1, so I have too many reasons to wear No. 1, and great playmakers like to wear No. 1, including Anfernee Hardaway, including me!" ”
Seeing Li Wei talking about Hardaway, the reporters wanted to applaud, but they didn't expect this guy to bring himself on later!
You and Hardaway are in the sky and on the ground, and they can't be compared at all, right?
It's shameless!
The crowd laughed again.
Although the pre-game interview time was not long, the reporters felt that they had gained a lot, and there was material for tomorrow's news.
"The shortest player in history is aiming for a triple-double per game!" 》
"He, less than five feet tall, wants to win the scoring champion and the assist king at the same time!" 》
This kind of report is actually a joke, but it is full of gimmicks, and the title alone can attract a lot of people!
After Li Wei dealt with the reporters in a disorderly manner, he concentrated on directing the game.
Penny Anfernee Hardaway is the starting playmaking guard for the Magic today.
When many people checked the information, they saw that the height of Penny was 2.01 meters, and he was named Jordan's successor, so they regarded him as a swingman. Pennies in the middle and late stages of his career are indeed swing guards, but at his peak, he is an organizational defender!
A 2.01-meter-wide defender, tall, wide-ranging, excellent passing awareness, coupled with his outstanding physical fitness, super fast speed and explosive breakthrough ability, it is difficult not to be loved by the fans!
In the 95-96 season, O'Neal was injured, and Hardaway averaged 27 points per game, leading the team to a 13-2 record that month, beating Jordan to win the best of the month, which also gave the Magic the confidence to give up O'Neal!
In Li Wei's eyes, Hardaway is also a genius. What he admires most is not Hardaway's flowing style, nor his excellent organizational skills, nor his appearance, but - he is accurate!
Hardaway in his sophomore shot rate reached 51 percent, and he was more accurate than his sophomore in his third grade!
NBA players are all geniuses, and as long as they are given foot rights, most of them can hit an average of 20+ per game. A lot of people have low scores, but it's just that the coach doesn't let him shoot!
So how can you tell the difference between good and bad players?
Li Wei's point of view is to see who is more accurate!
The closer you are to the basket, the more accurate the shot, so the teams in the league favor excellent interior players, and if the outside player can be as accurate as the interior team, then he is a Wizard!
In the 90s, there were only four guards who could average 20 points per game for many consecutive seasons and still maintain a shooting rate of more than 50%!
The first one is, of course, Mr. Joe, this is a live BUG, if it weren't for the two years when the Wizards came back, his entire career shooting rate would be more than 50%!
You know, ordinary players are the greater the scoring pressure, the lower the shooting rate, Jordan, as a guard, won ten scoring championship trophies with an accuracy rate comparable to the inside, it's terrifying!
If it weren't for such a bug, he wouldn't be called the god of basketball!
The other three talented guards who can average 20+ per game in consecutive seasons and still maintain a shooting rate of 50%+ are Reggie Miller, Derazan Pietrovic, and Anfernee Hardaway!
Needless to say, Reggie Miller, as everyone knows, another Pietrovic is also one of the best foreign players in NBA history, and enjoys the reputation of "the Mozart of basketball".
Chuck Daley coached the Nets at the beginning, but he didn't expect that in the first season of their cooperation, the team's organizational guard was reimbursed early in the season, and then many players such as center and backup center were all injured and could only be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
As we prepare to finish this offseason, everyone has a big fight, and a bolt from the blue is coming!
Petrovich was in a car accident on the way to visit his girlfriend and unfortunately died!
He has only played the main team for two seasons in his career, and both of these seasons have scored 20+ points and hit 50%+, this is Pietrovic!
There are many ifs in the history of the Nets, and one of the best is if Pietrovic is alive and he joins forces with Chuck Daley, how far can this team go?
Unfortunately, we never know the answer.
All we know is that after losing Pietrovic, Chuck Daley still took the team to the playoffs, and then lost to the New York Knicks, the New York Knicks who made it to the Finals that year led by Pat Riley.
After that, the Nets retained the main lineup from last season after the change of coach, and wanted to hit the playoffs again, but only got 30 wins, and they couldn't afford it since.
Li Wei knows that in the next 20 years, there will be no talented guard who can average 20+ per game for many seasons in a row like Penny Hardaway and still maintain a shooting rate of 50%+, and the closest person is Wade.
Wade had three seasons shooting 50%+ from the field, but unfortunately he didn't average more than 20 points per game in one of those seasons and the other two seasons were not consecutive.
As for Kobe Bryant, another great guard - if Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage can exceed 50% per game, he will not be the Iron God. 21010
