The New York Knicks went all the way to the Finals, which also annoyed the experts who had previously analyzed who would win the championship between the Spurs and the Pacers!

I've written so many words, and now it's all a joke!

However, they are not worried about losing their jobs, and they can continue to analyze the Knicks and Spurs.

The day after the end of the Eastern Conference Finals, USA Today released a new article comparing the strength of the two teams.

Unlike well-known newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, USA Today is headquartered not in New York, but in Rosslyn, Virginia.

Rosslyn is Virginia's closest city to Washington, D.C., the capital and political and cultural center of the United States, separated by the Potomac River and across the river from Rosslyn. As a member of the Washington metropolitan area, USA Today's basketball reporters and pundits mostly lean toward the Washington Wizards and hate the New York Knicks.

Of course, they don't report too regionally, because they're targeting a nationwide audience, not a minority in Washington, D.C.

The expert's article is very long, and the first thing to do is to compare the appearance of the team.

Center, Admiral David Robinson vs Da Yao.

Spurs center – David Robinson.

He is the top pick in 87, with a height of 2.16 meters and a weight of 107 kilograms, and he can hand over 24 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks in his rookie season.

Since Robinson joined the team, the Spurs have only missed one playoff game, the year Robinson played only six games and the season was reimbursed, and then they were picked up with the No. 1 pick in that year's draft, selecting Tim Duncan.

VO: God, I want that luck too!

Robinson's honor goes without saying, from 91 to the present, Michael Jordan has won four MVP trophies, Karl Malone has won two, and the remaining three Olajuwon, Robinson, and Barkley have one each!

The above five people are obviously the most dominant Big Five in the 90s!

David Robinson has also been voted Defensive Player of the Year, the only three superstars in the league to have won both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, the other two being Jordan and Olajuwon!

Can dominate the court on both offensive and defensive ends, this is David Robinson, since his rookie season, he has been an All-Star every year, a total of 8 All-Stars, only the year the season was reimbursed!

In addition, he has been selected to the NBA All-Star team 8 times in his career, including 4 times for the best team, 8 times for the NBA All-Defensive team, and 4 times for the All-Defensive team.

He has also won scoring titles, rebounding kings, block kings and other achievements, it is not easy to grab a scoring champion in the gap between Jordan's retirement, and it is even more difficult to grab a rebounding king before Rodman's rise!

Now, all David Robinson lacks is a championship!

Critic Score: 9 stars!

Comment: In this year's regular season, the Spurs gave more of the right to fire to Tim Duncan, Robinson didn't shoot much, and failed to 20+10 for the first time in his career (the season with injury reimbursement is not counted), however, this does not mean that Robinson has lost his dominance, he is just lazy. When you're old and you have a guy named Tim Duncan on the team, the transfer isn't a big deal.

If Robinson gets serious, he's still the league's strongest interior player. What about the big shark O'Neill's pretty stats? Didn't Robinson get swept 4:0 and roll home in disgrace?

Knicks center - Da Yao.

The Knicks once had a person who could wrestle with Robinson, and he was Patrick Ewing, but the development of the story has been learned by you and me, and Ewing was sold by the loser Coach Lee!

Then they traded for a Lithuanian center, and everyone thought the Lithuanian was the future of New York, but he was sold again!

(Hey, why did I hit three more?) ）

Frankly speaking, when the Lakers drafted Da Yao in last year's draft, my first reaction was "Who is he?" ”

Then, a yellow-skinned guy came to the front desk and shook hands with David Stern, and I was shocked again: "Either I'm crazy or the Lakers are crazy!" ”

Then, the drama came, and the Knicks traded him in the hands - it turned out that it was the Knicks who were crazy!

Well, the Knicks are crazy enough, and since they got a new owner (I heard it's a dark-haired Oriental beauty, but I haven't seen it), this team has been doing the unthinkable, and it's normal to use a first-round pick to pick someone who is completely unheard of.

However, I have to admit that the Knicks are very shitty lucky, the 18-year-old is improving faster than I could have imagined, and Coach Lee is bold enough to put him in the starting center position all the time.

Some people say that in order to obtain investment incentives in China, Coach Li signed some agreement with that side to secretly cultivate talents, so he made such a bizarre rotation arrangement. I don't know if it's true, but this arrangement has obviously worked, and Da Yao may be able to grow into the next big Z.

But that's just maybe, the current Da Yao is still too young, he can defend Schmitz for a while in the Eastern Conference Finals, and even play two balls alone, but David Robinson is not a player at the same level as Rick Schmitz, okay?

I don't have any disrespect for Schmitz, but having only made one All-Star Game, he can't compare to David Robinson, who has won both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year!

Critic Score: 2 Stars!

Comments:

Yao has a lot of potential, but at the age of 18, his true strength is only at the level of a rotation player, so let's not overestimate it. Actually, I wanted to give 1 star, but when I think about Ben sitting on the Knicks bench, I still give 2 stars!

That's right, my other star is for Big Ben, who is the Knicks' main center in the true sense of the word, he is tough defensively and aggressive enough to grab rebounds. But, I have to say, he is too short!

David Robinson is not the Mourning who is short in stature and has anxious offensive skills, so you have to wait to be fully blown up!

Conclusion: Center comparison, Spurs win!

Power Forward Comparison: Duncan vs. Outlaw.

Spurs power forward – Tim Duncan!

What words should I use to describe him?

Duncan's two previous rookie years were selected for the All-Star interior line, and it was none other than his teammates David Robinson and O'Neal!

This rookie season was in the All-Defensive First Team and All-Defensive Team, and this is his second year, and he almost won the MVP!

It's really just a little bit worse, if I didn't vote for Carl Malone, but for him, maybe he would have been elected!

There is no doubt that Duncan is one of the three strongest players in the league this season, and considering that the other two opponents who are competing with him for MVP are already fishing, then one of them can be removed, and he is the strongest man in the Finals!

He was the man who made David Robinson willing to take a back seat!

Rush forward, boy, since you didn't win the MVP, let's take an FMVP as compensation!

I'm sure you can do it!

Critic Score: 10 stars!

Comment: Give Duncan a 10-star rating because the full score is only 10 stars, not his strength is only 10 stars, and the Knicks and the players opposite him may not be able to sleep!

Knicks power forward – Bo Oterlo.

An undrafted pick, Bo Outlaw has now become the Knicks' defensive stalwarts. It's hard to imagine how there is so much energy in his thin body that he can't stop the whole game!

Dabo is a very good player and I have to applaud him, but on the offensive end, people can completely ignore him, and on the defensive end, his shortcomings are obvious!

Like Big Ben, Bo Outlaw is too short to be a normal power forward, but Duncan is a power forward who is supposed to play center, and he is nearly 7 feet tall!

Critic Score: 4 stars!

Comment: Maybe there are only five or six people in the entire alliance that Dabo can't defend, but Duncan is one of those five or six people no matter how he counts. Calm down, Dabo, there's nothing to be ashamed of being blown up by a quasi-MVP!

Conclusion: Big Forward Comparison, Spurs Win Completely!
