There is one problem that is now the biggest problem for Dennis Rodman.

If you look at Dennis Rodman's database, you'll see that rebounding is something he's been after all his life. Even at the end of his career, he can average 14.3 rebounds per game, which is terrifying!

But how did so many rebounds come about? Let's recall what it was like for Rodman during his time with the Bulls.

Playing with Rodman, all the players have the same concept, and they will not grab rebounds unless they have to. This included the Bulls' regular center at the time - Luke Longley.

Why?

Jason Williams once said that in the NBA in the 90s, there was only one player who was better at rebounding than him, and that was "Big Bug" Rodman. Rodman is an extremely tenacious player, he has carefully studied the shooting trajectory of his teammates and the way his opponents move, and it will be difficult to beat him. Rebounding means everything to him.

This is both a good and a good aspect. He has a study of every ball, which means he can grab every rebound, and he wants to grab every rebound. He was able to snatch all the rebounds.

It's often his teammates' rebounds, and Dennis Rodman can also grab them all!

When he entered the court to watch the Bulls game, Rodman flew out of nowhere to steal the rebound, made up for the ball, and won the cheers of the audience. But no one saw the inexplicable, disgraced center Luke Longley on one side.

Every time when he's ready, get in the right place. When he was holding the defender behind and about to grab the rebound, Rodman flew over and snatched the rebound. Sometimes he accidentally kicks himself, which makes Luke Longley very upset and annoyed.

But as a white player, a good-natured player, as long as it is harmful to the team, he will not do it, and this kind of thing endures. In this way, the Bulls finally won three consecutive championships.

But for such a top ten, it is not a casual person who can endure it, such as O'Neill, who can't bear it and doesn't get along well with Rodman. So in the end, the Lakers cut him.

And now. For the 76ers, Rodman's arrival is not yet known to be a good thing.

At least now the 76ers' interior line, except for Tyrone Hill, who is a little easier to get along with, all the others are punches! Big Ben. Rashid is extremely troublesome. The rest is not a good stubble.

I want Big Ben like this. I just want to grab rebounds, and it's even worse to let him not go than to keep him from playing.

It's not a good thing to have anyone match him.

"Tyrone," Luke asked Larry. Larry said: "As you said, our interior players are not very good-tempered, but some players are good-tempered, such as you and Tyrone! ”

"But I'm not going to play inside now!" Luke said.

"I didn't say you were going to play the inside line, I just asked you to assist on the outside line, what do you think!" Larry said.

"This ...... All right! Luke said.

"What else is there to say!" Larry said. "Don't hurry up yet!"

"Yes, Coach!"

Luke is back on the pitch from scratch. This time the 76ers made a big change: Allen was off, Reid was off, and the court became Luke, Snow, Rodman, Tyrone Hill and Tony Cooke.

Working with Rodman for the first time, Luke was a little nervous.

"Hey, Luke, relax!" Tony Cookch said. "Don't be nervous!"

"Of course you can say that, you've worked with him, you know what to do!" Luke said.

"Actually, I heard what you just said to Larry, Dennis is actually not as difficult as you think!" Tony Cookch said.

"Really?" Luke asked.

"Of course, I won't lie to you, is it good for me to lie to you!" Tony Cookch said.

"Then how can you get along with him?" Luke asked.

"Actually, the question is very simple!" Tony Cookch said. "Dennis is not actually the person you think he is, he is on the pitch to get everyone's eyes, he wants everyone to applaud him and cheer him on. So he will often play those unsatisfactory things perfectly, such as the goal you can't score, he will help you make up for it, as long as you pass the ball in a good position, he will not miss, even if it is three points. Don't look at his average points per game as many as others, but I know that his scoring ability is no worse than anyone else's, and you would think that a person with such good physical talent has no talent for scoring? ”

"No," Luke said with some skepticism. "Then why haven't you seen him score?"

"The question, well, I'll tell you!" Tony Cookch said. "Dennis scores less than he does in the NBA, but other times he scores a lot. At Dennis's first university, Cook County University in Gainesville, Texas, where a family friend recommended him to the basketball coach, Rodman averaged 17.6 points and 13.3 rebounds per game that semester but was dropped out of school because of his poor academic performance. After a brief basketball streak in Gainesville, Rodman transferred to Southeastern Oklahoma State University, an American National Association for Intercollegiate Athletic (NAIA) institution. He spent three seasons there, averaging 25.7 points and 15.7 rebounds per game while shooting 63.7 percent from the field. He was named to the All-American Team three times and rebounded for two consecutive seasons (topping the NAIA list. Averaging more than 25 points per game over three seasons, Rodman was invited to Portsmouth Predraft Camp, a training camp for players who are about to enter the NBA Draft. There Rodman won the Most Valuable Player honor and caught the attention of the Detroit Pistons.

As you know, the stats in college don't tell us much, but it at least proves that Dennis isn't without scoring ability.

But in the NBA, Dennis doesn't really like to score, and I asked why, and he said, 'So many people can score, why should I score?' Wouldn't that be a repetition? It's not my character! I'm going to use the rebound to prove that not scoring can be a miracle! ’”

"Okay, but I still don't know how to get along!" Luke said.

"Don't worry, Dennis isn't a racist!" Tony Cookage said.

"Okay......" Luke said.

"By the way, I haven't got down to business with you yet!" Tony Cookage said. "When you're attacking, you don't want to be Dennis, he's basically useless in offense, unless he's in a very good position or has a chance to break fast, and when he's on the defensive end, it will come out of nowhere!"

"Oh, got it!"

The game starts from scratch. Snow has the ball. Dennis Rodman was literally gone, completely devoid of existence.

But the Knicks' players pressed hard.

Now the 76ers have a 3-0 lead, although it is difficult to turn the tables, but at least win one game to save face.

And in this game, the Knicks' starters are back except for the unavailable Latrill Sprewell, who is still suspended.

The New Yorkers' accumulated anger was completely on the heads of the 76ers.

The offense is unreasonable, and the defense is quite ferocious. They don't have much to play anyway.

The game was full of gunpowder from the start, so now Big Ben and Rashid have to go down to rest because of the foul count. However, the Knicks are not much better, the foul count has long arrived, and now foul free throws are a certainty. And everyone only had a few foul opportunities, and now they don't dare to do it easily. So Snow still handed the ball to Luke.

Without Ratriel Sprewell, it's Glenn Rice who defends Luke.

As a player who participated in the "All-Star Game" in 1997, defeated Jordan and many other masters and won the title of "Most Valuable Player", this kind of person is not far behind. And as a shooter, he shot 45.6 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from three-point range. At the time could be with Reggie? Miller, Danny? Angie side by side. He also won a championship with the Lakers last year. And as a goalscorer, the defense is pretty good.

Luke's life was not easy. (To be continued......)
