Chapter 8 The Worst Table Xiàn

The 1984 draft produced four future NBA 5O superstars. Michael Jordan is the undisputed leader, followed by Hakeem Olajuwon. When posterity commented on the 1984 draft, no one ever said that the Rockets missed the draft, although there was a god behind them - Michael Jordan. Because the name of the guy the Rockets chose is Hakim Olajuwon, who brought two championships to the Houstoners, he is the pride of the city of Houston, and he is Houston's forever calling card.

I don't know why Michael Jordan was so out of shape yesterday, but I can feel that something might be wrong, and I still need to settle it, and the key to solving this problem is to beat Hakim Olajuwon.

Offensively, maybe I'm going to lose badly, but defensively, I'm not going to lose, I'm going to get all the rebounds. Certain.

Doug Collins was analyzing the tactics that the other side might use, but he never mentioned the tactics we were going to use, and everyone looked at me from time to time, and I was under a lot of pressure.

"Kwamei, you are the main attack today, is it okay?" Doug Collins concluded.

"Me?" I was surprised, even though I had heard this phrase in Jordan's mouth yesterday

"Yes, Olajuwon is old, last season's strength dropped a lot, you just have to play the basket and dunk with the ball. If someone wraps the clip, it can be transmitted to the outside line. Collins continued.

"Okay!" I was reluctant, but I couldn't refuse, it was the manager's arrangement, even though he was just a puppet.

"First ball, how did you come?" Collins continued.

"Oh!" I replied in a whisper.

"Boy, spirit point, today Russell, Moses Malone and Abdul-Jabbar came to watch you play, live across the United States." Hamilton patted me on the head.

"Work hard, boy, to be favored by Russell, your potential is limitless." Leitner said.

"You're famous, Kwame, it's the greatest center of all time to come and see you play." Tyrone Lu said.

"** Broadcast live globally with ABC, boy, you're there." Chris Whitney said

I glanced at Michael Jordan, and he shook his head wordlessly, as if to say that this is not working, what is it that does not work, I don't know. Maybe it's saying that I can't attack.

I've played basketball in my last life, and I'm still the main shooting guard in school, and I like the feeling of shooting threes from the outside, and for the center position, to be honest, I really can't get used to it. I can only try.

Team Rocket: Muki. Norris, Steve Francis, Catino Mobley, Morris. Taylor, Kevin Cato.

Wizards: Tyrone Lue, Richard Hamilton, Michael Jordan, Christian Leitner, Kwame Brown.

"Hello everyone, this is the ** live sports channel, I'm Charles Barkley."

"I'm Kenny Smith."

"Today we are fortunate to invite the famous big centers in NBA history, Bill Russell and Moses Malone, to be our commentators, Mr. Russell, Mr. Malone, there are a lot of highlights in this game, of course, the biggest highlight is the matchup between Rocket center Olajuwon and Wizards center Kwame Brown, and I would like to comment on the Rockets center Olajuwon who will play today." Barkley said.

"Hakeem Olajuwon, it's clear that he's a great center, there's no doubt about it, and the Wizards' top pick Kwame Brown shows the potential to be a great center・・・・・・"

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

Since the inception of the NBA, only Jordan has won the championship without a strong center, but the Bulls in the Jordan era also have rebounding king Dennis Rodman.

I know what Jordan expects from me, he wants me to be like O'Neal, whether it's defense or offense, I can hold up a sky for the Wizards, and although I know it's not realistic, I'm going to try to do my best.

Jordan passed the ball to me, and everyone pulled away, leaving me and Hakeem Olajuwon, and I was leaning back to Olajuwon, feeling the power of this great center, his left hand pressed tightly against my waist, his right hand held high in the air, like he was facing a big enemy.

"It's strange today, the Wizards' first ball turned out to be the whole team and let Kwame Brown play, but from the previous games, Kwame Brown's offensive ability and offense are really not very strong." Kenny Smith explained.

"Yes, in my opinion, Kwame Brown's offensive ability is not as good as Dennis Rodman, Rodman is disdainful of scoring, and Kwame Brown can't score, and of course, Kwame Brown's rebounding is no worse than Rodman." Barkley went on to say,

Olajuwon's strength is still a bit behind me, I dribble step by step to the basket, as long as I get close to the basket, my attack can end with a dunk, this attack is considered a success. But the referee didn't think so.

"Drop!" The referee blows the whistle,

offensive violations,

Carry the basket for five seconds,

Barkley Rule.

There was laughter and laughter in the commentary seat.

"Charles, you hurt Kwame Brown, if you hadn't come up with this Barkley rule, I believe Kwame Brown's offense would have ended perfectly." Kenny Smith laughed at Barkley.

"You can't blame me for this, Stern is to blame for this, you know, that's how I attacked. As a result, Stern thought that this kind of offense was too perfect and compared to everyone else, so he introduced the rule of carrying the basket for five seconds. I'm also a victim, otherwise I would have won more than one championship a long time ago, haha. Barkley joked.

Jordan slapped me with his hand and whispered, It's okay, next time it's almost five seconds, pass the ball out, and I'll pass it to you.

I nodded.

The Rockets scored on a defensive jumper from Steve Francis breaking through Hamilton.

It's my turn to attack again.

I continued my big business of backing the basket.

I put my right shoulder on Olajuwon and squeezed it step by step under the basket.

One second,

2 seconds,

3 seconds.

Oh? What about balls?

Everyone poured into the Wizards' backcourt, leaving me alone in the frontcourt.

"The ball is broken, Kwame Brown is broken by the old cat Mobley, a center can't dribble too much, Kwame Brown dribbles too much..."

"The Wizards' tactics are too monotonous, the big center dribble, it is a taboo on the court, you can use it once in a while, if you take this as a regular tactic, it will definitely not work." Kenny Smith criticized.

"Malone, you're the center, what do you do when you're receiving the ball in Kwame Brown's position." Kenny Smith asked.

"First of all, there is a problem with the position of Kwame Brown receiving the ball, Kwame Brown has a feeling of a small forward receiving the ball when he receives the ball, he is a little far away from the basket, he should receive the ball on the edge of the paint area, and then, the center receives the ball, generally dribbling twice, shoulder, or back to the opponent, so that the opponent retreats to the opponent's basket, he pulls back, so that there is enough space for him to jump, even if the opponent stands up and blocks, it is too late, now Kwame Brown dribbles too much, the other party has seen it, It's normal to get cut off. Moses Malone said.

Leitner patted my head and said, "It's okay, next time, don't dribble too much." ”

I licked my lips with my tongue, and several feelings such as unwillingness, helplessness, and sadness came together.

Mobley ended the offense with a dunk.

The opening 41 seconds.

Wizards O: 4 Rockets

I was in position under the basket, Jordan passed the basketball, I took a deep breath, leaned my right shoulder Olajuwon, turned around, and threw it.

The ball flies,

Flew to the stands.

I'm capped.

I faced a center who is the all-time NBA block leader with 383o blocks in his lifetime, shaking ahead of second-ranked Dibaken Mutombo. The moment I hit my blue ball, it was already targeted by Olajuwon, and his hand on my waist was able to clearly anticipate my movements, he reacted correctly, and I became a great back.

"Hakim, great Hakim, you're not old, you're still the great Hakim, give that kid a good look..." Barkley celebrated frantically for Olajuwon in the commentary seat.

Jordan asked for a timeout.

I put the towel on my head, not daring to look around a qiē, I felt sorry for them, I was afraid to face them.

Jordan stood in front of me, bent over, his face changed,

"Brown, what are you doing? What are you doing? Do you know how to attack? Do you know how to attack? You bastard......" Jordan growled.

I silently endured the trash talk.

In the previous life, Kwame Brown was probably roared by Jordan when he didn't swing well. In the last life, some experts analyzed that if Kwame Brown's draft position was not so high, if Jordan was not so demanding, and gave Kwame Brown a good growth environment, maybe his achievements would be better, and he might even become the second Shaquille O'Neal.

"You bastard, carry the basket for five seconds, do you understand, the center should not dribble too much, do you know it, the safest offense of the center under the basket is to dunk do you know? At such a close distance, you are still hitting, you are guilty of a nervous disorder! Jordan's words grew harsher.

There is a saying in China: clay figurines also have three points of fire.

I couldn't take it anymore and I yelled at Jordan, "I want to score the ball too, I want to succeed too, but I'm only 19 years old, I haven't been to the NCAA, I still need to learn." ”

My eyes were moist and I hugged the towel and cried. I felt aggrieved.

Why do others cross the rich or expensive, and they don't need to work hard to get a good reputation, but I can only wear it to a parallel champion. Why put so much pressure on me, I've worked hard, I'm training every day, no holidays, no bars, no beautiful women, not even the most basic video game console.

Jordan was a little stunned, looked at me who was crying, picked up a towel, wiped his sweat, maybe pity, maybe unconsciously, and said, "I'm sorry!" ”

Etan Thomas replaced me and the game continued.

I put a towel over my head and let the hustle and bustle float outside, this is the worst table, there is no one, I swear I will definitely work hard, I will definitely defeat the big dream!
