Chapter 64: Rookie Challenge
Don't underestimate anyone who shows up in the NBA All-Star Game, whether it's a man, a woman, an old man, or a child. Just give them a shot, and it proves that they have once called for wind and rain in the NBA.
There are too many shots of the Rookie Challenge before the Rookie Challenge to the head coaches and assistant coaches on both sides of the Rookie Challenge, and the rookies don't add up to half of them. It's clear that these four managers are anything but ordinary. Although they are not young, even two of them are already white.
Chuck Daley, first-year head coach. I'm sure anyone who has studied NBA history, who has studied Michael Jordan, knows his name, knows his glory. His army of bad boys, his infamous Jordan Rule, changed the way people think about defense.
Many people wonder: Philadelphia hosts the All-Star, why did the Pistons head coach come? Could it be that the 76ers are gone?
Actually, Chuck Daley has a deep relationship with the 76ers, and Chuck Daley's first coaching career began with the 76ers. Even his current assistant coach, Darryl Dawkins, spent time with the 76ers when he was a player, and he also smashed two rebounds when he was with the 76ers, becoming the first player in NBA history to do so.
Interestingly, Daryl Dawkins won a championship with Chuck Daley in the final year of his career, and of course he was a substitute at that time. This makes the smell of the piston on the first-grade side much stronger.
And the sophomore side is the taste of the 76ers. Their head coach invited Billy Cunningham, the 76ers' decorated head coach who won the championship in '83 and a former NBA superstar. Billy Cunningham is also a minority shareholder of the 76ers, a true 76er, with the traces of the 76ers carved all over his body.
Billy Cunningham's time may be too far away, but his achievements are certainly no less than Chuck Daley's. Former 76ers executive Pat Williams once said of Billy Cunningham:
"Cunningham's life experience is amazing, he's a star, he's been named to the All-America team, he's an All-Star, he's a coach, he's a top-notch coaching win rate, he's a top commentator, he's a minority shareholder in the team. I don't even know what else he can't do! ”
Yes! This former kangaroo boy has won almost all the awards he deserves on the basketball court.
The assistant coach is Bobby Jones, a proud disciple of 1 Billy Cunningham, a regular in the 1983 '76 championship, the highest shooting percentage at a forward position in NBA history, and has never missed a playoff game in his career. It's also a superstar with the smell of 76 people all over his body.
Of course, most people will think that this is a battle between the Pistons and the 76ers when they see these two pairs! Actually, it's not, it's the 76ers in the civil war.
Chuck Daley squatted on the ground, holding a tactical board to explain tactics, while Daryl Dawkins sat on the ground, his eyes constantly swept to all kinds of beauties in the stands, this guy is already a lot older, and the original intention of playing basketball has not changed so far, as if seducing various types of beauties is the greatest responsibility given to him by God.
The so-called tactics talk about a lot of internal and external combinations, blocking and dismantling cooperation, in fact, this is useless, the first three quarters of this game are basically who has the ball in their hands, who attacks, less jumpers, more trick dunks, don't try to be close defense, don't try to make any offensive fouls, you can cover it, you can't block it, don't go to attract jealousy.
First Grade: Kwame Brown, Pau Gasol, Sean Battier, Jason Richardson, Tony Parker
Second Grade: Chris Meme, Kenyon Martin, Marcus Fitzel, Desmond Mason, Mike Miller
Chris Meem and I were in the center circle preparing to jump the ball, which was probably one of the few shots in the first three quarters that was a bit competitive. Chris Meem obviously didn't bounce very well, and I was able to get the ball off with ease.
Jason Richardson picked up the basketball, stepped out of his legs with an electric motor, the wind killed the front court, no one could defend, all the sophomores walked back slowly, Jason Richardson entered the paint area, jumped hard, his body was in the air, he held the ball in both hands, handed the ball to his right hand, and opened the show with an extremely domineering windmill dunk.
I barely moved, this game was completely the world of those spring people, even if O'Neill came and had to give way, of course, O'Neill's funny genius allowed him to score a lot of points. But there's no denying that defensive centers aren't really photogenic in this kind of playful game, and what the audience wants to see is all kinds of pleasing dunks, all kinds of unique goals.
Mike Miller quickly pushed to the frontcourt, directing the individual positioning, and I casually followed Chris Mime's side to prevent him from attacking the basket himself, and treated me as the back, although the game was a bit heavier, but it was not always good to let me be the back.
The inside line was wide open, Mike Miller added a pull, then a pull-out, and then threw the ball to the basket with both hands. Tony Parker, who was defending him, didn't shake because Parker didn't even think about stopping Mike Miller's actions.
The ball was flying in the air, not very high, level with the basket, and I looked up at the basketball and thought, this is a really good chance to catch the ball.
A figure slanted in from a 45-degree angle on the right, leaped into the air, stretched out his right hand, and slammed the basketball into the basket.
It's Kenyon Martin!
Pau Gasol, who defended him, was still at the top of the arc.
The opening was two beautiful slam dunks, and the atmosphere in the audience was high. ** of the big mouths, the big pillars of ABC kept talking about these two slam dunks. The tone of the DJ on the scene also instantly increased to N decibels, and he shouted hoarsely.
I'm miserable, I guess Pau Gasol is worse than me, at least I still have bounces, it's still possible to take the opportunity to get a few powerful slam dunks, and Pau Gasol can't even bounce at the very least.
Soon, Pau Gasol, who affected the audience, was off the court, and I was still running back and forth on the field a little better than him.
Napoleon once said: a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. No one in this world wants to be a supporting role for others, and anyone wants to stand in the center of the stage, enjoying the cheers and the worship of others.
I've been the same for me, I've gotten tired of being a spectator, and I want to be able to participate in it. I mentioned the power forward position, and I left the center for Brandon Haywood, who came in for Pau Gasol. My position is a little more lively, and I hope that I can also be beautiful, and I can't always be a supporting role for others.
