Chapter 28: A Wall

The Wizards didn't have time to clean up their wounds and had back-to-back games against the Phoenix Suns the next day. The current Suns' defense is really poor, not that the quality of the players is poor, but the concept between the coach and the players, there are too many gaps, the head coach of the Suns is O'Neal, the main player of the Magic team in the Hardaway era, and the team that defeated the Bulls to enter the Finals and finally lost Scott Skels, you must know that it was the first playoff defeat after Jordan's three consecutive championships.

At that time, the coach's teammate Anfernee Hardaway was still on the Suns, although he did not have the sharp breakthrough and strong strength in the past, but he was still very competent as a point guard, but unfortunately the ball is now completely in the hands of another person, the lone wolf Marbury.

Marbury's scoring ability is very strong now, and he can be said to be the best in the league, but at this time, he does not know how to use his talent to win games.

The current Marbury can't be compared with the past, and even if he is the peak of the horse commissar, the three-point shooting and long-range shooting percentage is just past the passing line, not to mention that Marbury has never done a good job of organizing the team's victory.

The Suns are a team with great athleticism, but they are definitely not a playoff team because all of their players are completely dominant, there are no players who can pass the right pass at the right time, and they don't have a shooter who deserves the attention of the opposition.

What's even more interesting is that the head coach of the Suns became the main player with his projection ability back then, how could such a coach like a scoring guard who mainly focuses on breaking through scoring?

In this game, although Gong Feng's performance was very sluggish, there were 6 turnovers in the whole game, and only 4 points, which is a very uncommon situation, of course, this may also have something to do with Marbury's score, Marbury scored 30 points and 6 assists in front of Gong Feng in this game.

Fortunately, Jordan and Hamilton stood up, the two worked together to score 51 points, in the last game, these two of the main players are considered to have some spare strength, and Hamilton likes this kind of team that is piled up on the inside, the veteran Nesby scored a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds in this game, and Kwame also collapsed in the last game, and this game only scored 10 points and 8 rebounds 'ordinary' data.

The game was deadlocked to the end, and it was Jordan who ended the game with a decisive shot.

After winning this game, the Wizards will return to their home court to rest for three days, and the three hard battles after the All-Star break are enough for all the Wizards players to be tired.

"Aren't you going to talk to Gong Feng?" Looking at Gong Feng, who was no longer talking and laughing as he used to be, Collins asked Jordan, who was sitting next to him.

Sitting on the sofa chair in the cabin of the airline, Jordan propped up his legs comfortably, without looking at Gong Feng's meaning or thoughts, "I thought I saw a freak, more mature than most players, but I didn't expect our doctor to be like a child who can't afford to lose!" Don't bother, he's already a lot luckier than me, if he was in my position back then, he wouldn't be able to play at this level, maybe he would still be on the bench, where did these feelings come from? Since he has embarked on this path, he must be prepared, and no one can help him for the rest of his life. ”

Collins was helpless, "Gong Feng is the guard you put the most energy into, I feel that Gong Feng is learning your defensive habits and defensive strategies, and even turning around and shooting backwards has been learned, Gong Feng is likely to enter the front of that wall now, and you, as a senior, have no enlightening words?" You must know that the current state of Gong Feng has affected the final victory of the game, if it weren't for Gong Feng's sluggishness today, how could you need to kill in the end? ”

"You mean the rookie wall?" Jordan actually laughed, as if he had heard some terrible joke, "Don't talk about Johnson from afar, do you say that Duncan touched the rookie wall back then?" When was Duncan's demutation? It was after the first season, after the playoff defeat. ”

Looking at Collins' puzzled look, Jordan continued: "There is a certain gap between us and the Kings, and this must be admitted, the players on the edge think of this gap, have the motivation to move forward, can serve the team, and will definitely become a rotation player, and the rotation player thinks of this gap, develops a style of play that is beneficial to the team, and is likely to become the main player now, that is, it is usually said to have found his own way." ”

"But the other type of player is completely different, because this kind of player is already the main force of the iron fight, and the style of play has been determined, since it is the main force, it is certain that his style of play is suitable for the collective, so when encountering this kind of opponent who plays very well, he can't defeat the opponent, what to do? By the accumulation of time? ”

Speaking of this, Jordan himself laughed a little, and the smile was a little bitter, "Wrong, there is a fart to rely on accumulation at this time, because from the moment you decide to rely on time accumulation, you are already destined to be a player who stands still, and you are also destined to become very far away from greatness." ”

"This kind of thing can't be forced, it can't be said that standing still is not a good star, not the player the team needs, it's just that the choice is different, the idea in my heart is different, and the current Kwamei already has this kind of idea!"

"The conscientious Kwamei in the last game is what we need the most, even if the physical strength is a little exhausted, and there is some regret for the loss in the last game, but Kwamei still works very hard to play according to the established tactics, but do you see how Kwamei performs without the support of Gong Feng?"

"Kwame's passing awareness, attacking awareness, in my opinion, is completely undeveloped, he is acting within the framework that Bow Peak has given him, it's just that neither of these guys have realized it."

"Kwamei's physical condition must be much stronger than Gong Feng's, but if the two of them form a team of the two of them in the future, the core player will definitely not be Kwamei."

"Is it cruel? Athletic games have always been like this, Olajuwon, Ewing, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, any one at the peak, handed over the initiative of the team to his teammates, all of them are led by themselves, but now our team is definitely dominated by the outside, which has my factor in it, but the growth and maturity of Gongfeng is also a factor that cannot be ignored. ”

"It's a bit far to say this, no matter what, the current Kwamei has Gong Feng to make such rapid progress and get various awards, and now our main force, Gong Feng can give full play to its greatest strength."

"Speaking of which, do you still think a character like Gong Feng will run into a rookie wall? Don't you see that his malaise yesterday was mental, not physical? His stamina is the best I've ever seen! ”

"His thinking now is a little mysterious, which is how to become a great player, and more specifically, how to make himself stronger!"

"It's not the triangle offense that makes me, it's the triangle offense that makes me, and without this kind of awareness, how can we build greatness? The current Gong Feng is actually ahead of Kwamei, just to see how long he needs to think about it. ”

"There is no road destined for success, repeating the path of others, you will never be able to achieve your own greatness, because what suits you is the best!"

"I can't help him now, I can only say what I think, put my path ahead of him, and let him see what the greatest player in basketball history is."

Speaking of this, Jordan no longer had the temperament to speak, and he quickly fell asleep after closing his eyes and resting.

Collins looked at Jordan like this, half speechless, and after a long time, he muttered to himself in a voice that he could hear: "You are already great enough, why do you want to be stronger?" Yes, there was no such person to help you back then, you learned this from countless hard races, you know that you are a little jealous of these two children now, but who would have thought that you could get to this point today? ”

"It seems that your ambitions have also been hooked, otherwise you would never have said this, the current Wizards team is not unable to lose, you don't need to explain anything, time is still for us, as long as these two children really wake up, it becomes extremely likely that we will win the championship."

"Since I have missed it once, how can I continue to miss it the second time, how many more opportunities can I have in this life? I don't have the instincts of Jackson, but I'm also a coach who has made a name for himself in developing players. ”
