At the same time, December 20 is also the day when the NBA's 06-07 All-Star voting officially opens, but everything in the league is currently overshadowed by the news of Iverson's transfer to the Nuggets. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The media circle, which was originally afraid of the chaos in the world, began to frantically analyze and dig why Iverson suddenly transferred? At the same time, as a superstar in the league, what impact will this transfer have on the overall landscape of the league?

These topics are what the media and experts like to toss, and they are also what the majority of fans like to see.

No, Sports Illustrated, the largest sports magazine in the United States, -------- a poll "the four quarterbacks in the league today", adding to the heated discussion among media experts and fans.

The article points out that in the nineties of the last century, the league had "four centers", which were:

Big Dream - Olajuwon, Great Shark - O'Neal, Admiral - Robinson, and Gorilla - Ewing. These four legendary stars were recognized as the league's "Big Four Centers" in the 90s of the 20th century.

With Jordan's six championships, followed by the rise of Kobe, Maddy, Carter, Iverson and others, it is no exaggeration to say that today's league has entered an era of scoring guards dominating the league.

So, now the topic comes, in this era of the strongest scoring guards, if we choose the "big four quarterbacks" like the "four centers", which four people will you choose?

After Sports Illustrated came up with this topic, it immediately set off an uproar among the media, experts, fans, and even players. After all, there are too many good scoring guards in the league right now, such as: Kobe, Maddy, Iverson, Carter, Ray Allen, Wade, Ginobili......

The key is that these people are still in the year of fighting, and the competition is too fierce. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and this one is really not easy to choose.

Although there used to be jokes such as "Dongai, Xike, Nanmai, and North Carolina" among the people and on the Internet, it was just a joke after a folk dinner, especially on the Chinese side, which was made up on the Internet by itself, but this time it was a more official and formal election launched by the mainstream media in the United States, and the meaning was still different.

Who doesn't want fame and fortune, no one has too much honor, therefore, "Sports Illustrated" this time to get the "four quarterbacks" selection has received great attention from the basketball circle, and later some good people pointed out that since you get a "big four" selection, simply launch a "four" selection for all five positions.

……

No, before the Rockets' home game against the Hornets on December 22, at the media conference, the reporters on the scene focused their questions on the theme of the "Big Four".

In the 2006-2007 season, the main lineup of the Charlotte Hornets is as follows:

Center: Tyson Chandler, nicknamed "The King of Fighters". Strong, good bouncing, next to Paul, he likes air relays, and later transferred to the Mavericks, and with the Nortian, mixed up with a championship ring.

Power forward: David West, who later became the West of the Pacers, was a good helper next to Paul George. In the 15-16 season, he joined the Spurs with a base salary, and wanted to hug his thigh and get a championship ring, but he didn't succeed.

Small forward: Peja, the former Kings' three-point sharpshooter, is a black man.

Shooting guard: Mason. Speaking of Mason, most Chinese fans should be familiar with it, just about a year ago, on November 5, 2005, Yao Ming had a conflict with Mason, suffered a small loss, and was regarded as an enemy of Yao Ming.

Defender: Paul.

……

When the reporter asked the Rockets about the "Big Four" selection, they basically answered---- the four active quarterbacks are Kobe, Maddy, Iverson and Carter, and the four active centers are O'Neal, Yao Ming, Stoudemire and "Warcraft" Howard.

This is also the mainstream voice of the government and the people.

But when the reporter shifted the issue to the Hornets, discordant voices began to emerge.

"I think the big four centers today should be O'Neal, Stoudemire, Howard and my teammate Chandler!" The Hornets' point guard, Yao Ming's bitter master---- Mason gave this answer.

"What about Yao Ming?" The reporters in the audience were excited, this is the rhythm of stirring up trouble, you know, this Mason only clashed with Yao Ming last season, and since then, the Rockets and the Hornets have not played against each other. However, the reporters are a group of people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they are happy to see such a scene.

"Yao Ming? Hehe~" Mason grinned and laughed twice, "I don't think Yao Ming can be compared to the four people in front of me." ”

Provocation, naked-naked provocation!

In November 2005, Zhang Chu remembered the conflict between Mason and Yao Ming very clearly, and he happened to watch the live broadcast that day.

With 1:01 left before the end of the third quarter, Mason dribbled from the baseline, broke through, and raced towards the basket, his eyes widened and his eyes flashed. Mason once won the All-Star dunk king, but at the Toyota Center, he encountered unprecedented embarrassment and shame, and before that, he had tasted Yao-style hot pot twice in a row.

Mason was eager to vent his frustration with a slam dunk, but when he was in the air, the ball was still slapped off by Yao Ming, who quickly defended. The ball landed under the basket, and in the direction in which the ball slid down, Yao Ming pounced on Mason. However, at this moment, Yao Ming's right leg collided with Mason's left leg, causing the center of gravity to be unstable and pressing heavily on Mason's body. Mason angrily carried Yao Ming's body with his back and threw Yao Ming out fiercely, and his 310-pound weight and the court floor instantly made a loud "bang".

Yao Ming fell to the ground, and his shoulder was slightly bruised in the process of landing. Mason's anger still did not subside, and when he saw Yao Ming get up, he roared towards Yao Ming. The order of the stadium was chaotic for a while......

After the "fight" incident, on the Rockets fan forum, many people left messages, thinking that Yao Ming lacked experience in fighting, and he should fight back when the other party was so provocative.

Here are some of the comments from fans:

Netizen waihh: I have to say that Yao Ming was mentally disturbed by Mason. If you think about the first time you got into a fight, you think I have a point. Yao Ming doesn't need to be afraid of fighting, and he shouldn't let it affect his mood and state. But in reality, the chaotic situation has greatly reduced Yao Ming's aggressiveness. No NBA player can shy away from violence on the court, so, Yao Ming, welcome to the party. In the NBA, you only have two options for fighting, one is to punch back, or the other is to give your opponent a slam dunk. Yao Ming is not the type of person who likes to throw punches, so he should dunk on the opponent's head. Someone on the Rockets should tell Yao Ming this, and I hope he can learn something from this game.

Netizen rocketjf: After the fight, Yao Ming's aggressiveness weakened significantly, and he even patted Mason on the back and took the initiative to shake hands with him. Such a move will only give the opponent more energy. Although the Rockets were still leading before the fight, although Yao Ming jumped the ball to win Mason, I felt at the time: the situation is not good, no, in the end, it was the Hornets who won the game.

Netizen coolweather: I'm sure that after this game, Yao Ming will have more experience. However, Yao Ming, please don't become a player like Artest, Mason is not a character at all, that's why he wants to stir up trouble, he just wants to be famous, he just wants to attract the attention of others.

……

The above are all messages from American fans, and even American fans support Yao Ming should fight back, not to mention the attitude of Chinese fans, there are only two words---- beat him!

……

At the press conference, after the reporter asked Mason, David West of the Hornets also expressed the same opinion: "I think Mason has a point, Chandler should replace Yao Ming and enter the top four of the active center!" ”

Hornets center Tyson Chandler, who is the person concerned, is also not polite: "I don't think my teammates are wrong, everything depends on strength, and it has to be judged by the performance on the court, right?" ”

The Hornets' Chandler, West, and Mason can be described as a "grumpy trio", all of whom have a burning temperament and can say anything good from their mouths.

Seeing that the trio began to show off their might at the door of the Rockets, most of the players on the Rockets were good men, and they couldn't help but show no excess, but Zhang Chu couldn't help it, and he stood up as soon as he pushed the table.

"Three! Don't talk about it anymore, let's see you on the field if you have the ability! Zhang Chu's voice was very loud, and his eyes swept over the faces of Chandler, West, and Mason one by one.

The NBA is not only a competition of basketball skills, but also a competition of personality and dignity, if you want to prove your existence, you must stand up and fight, there is no first, no second!

Feeling Zhang Chu's cold eyes, Mason also stood up suddenly, crooked his mouth and sneered: "Rookie, how old are you?" It's your turn to speak......"

"No, no, no!" Mason's voice was interrupted by Maddie, who was sitting next to Zhang Chu, "What Zhang Chu said just now is exactly what I want to express!" "As the boss of the team, being put on the nose and face by others, and not saying anything about it, it is really cowardly.

Maddie paused, turned around and hugged Zhang Chu's shoulders, and said softly, "Let's go, let's warm up first!" ”

Maddie hugged Zhang Chu, and just like that, in full view of everyone, the two openly withdrew!

When he was about to walk to the exit, Maddie seemed to remember something, stopped, turned to look at Mason and the other three, stretched out his hand to the latter, and then hooked his index finger and said, "Tonight's game, let's have a good fight, let's let the horse come!" Then he walked out of the door with Zhang Chu in his arms.

“Fuck！ What a cow what a cow" David West's fiery temper also came up, and he stood up all at once.

"Train him!" Chandler slapped the table and was furious.

The scene was chaotic.
