Doon thought it would be All-Star Weekend to get the brand new template, but he didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly!

You know, the Player of the Week award is not easy.

Many All-Stars struggle to win a Player of the Week award in their entire NBA career.

Because the Player of the Week is not only based on the statistics, but also on the results of the team.

If it's a strong team, a team that wins all the time, even the second and third leaders have a chance to win the Player of the Week.

However, because the weak team rarely wins three or four games in a week, even the leader of the weak team rarely wins such an honor.

In other words, the Player of the Week template, the ceiling supergiant, and the lower limit championship puzzle are all much different from the All-Star template.

"Lottery!"

[Congratulations on getting the Scottie Pippen template!] 】

"it!"

Having won the Pippen template, Doon didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

The Template of the Week raffle won the all-time superstar template, which is sure to hit the jackpot.

However, Pippen is undoubtedly a relatively unworthy and inferior category among historical superstars.

In Barkley's words: "A group of bosses are talking here, and you are a dick to join in the fun?" ”

This is mainly because Pippen's offense is too unstable, and the mental attributes are very poor, so it can only be said that being the second is more than enough, and being the boss is really not good.

Many people questioned Jordan's historical status, leaving Pippen, leaving the Bulls is nothing.

It's like questioning Curry as a system player, and when you look closely, you find it ridiculous.

During the last three consecutive periods, everyone felt that Pippen was the No. 1 small forward in history, even if even Bird did not question it.

Barkley always thought that he was no worse than Jordan, and felt that he was one Pippen away from the championship.

So, just when Pippen wanted a 10 million contract and left the Bulls after three consecutive championships, Barkley took the initiative to reduce his salary to a base salary of 1 million, in order to have salary space for the Rockets to sign Pippen, and then form the Big Three of Pippen, Barkley, and Olajuwon.

It stands to reason that this is stronger than the Bulls Big Three, who have just won three consecutive championships!

But the fact is that under the drag of Pippen's 32.9% shooting rate, Barkley riveted his 52.9% shooting rate, and was still taken away 3-1 by the Lakers led by the OK group.

"Danzi is too perverted, isn't it? With such a waste of skin, the second child can take six rings? ”

After this round of playoffs, Barkley really understood how good Jordan is.

also understood Pippen's true strength, and the Rockets Big Three only formed a season, and immediately sent Pippen to the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers are also a championship contender, and after acquiring Pippen, they also made Pippen the titular boss.

As a result, in the playoffs, Pippen played the second, third, and fourth......

In the Western Conference finals, Pippen was confident that he could defend against Kobe, but he was suddenly turned into a sieve by Kobe.

The Trail Blazers were clearly leading by 13 points before the start of the fourth quarter, and they had to study the opponents in the Finals in advance.

As a result, Pippen led the team to shoot 0 of 3, and did not score a point in the fourth quarter, Rasheed Wallace was unable to support it alone, and the Lakers reversed a huge 15-point difference under the leadership of the OK combination, and won by 5 points.

It is precisely because of Pippen's departure from the Bulls that the classic crotch pulling scene in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons has made everyone aware of the truth of the matter.

Pippen, who is next to Jordan, is a superstar and the best two in history.

After leaving Jordan, Pippen is just an ordinary All-Star! The Zen master knows Pippen's offensive level best, and when it comes time to make a key shot, he has to let Kukoc shoot.

A careful analysis of Pippen's style of play shows that it is actually full of a large number of simple balls, fast breaks, fake hand breaks, breakthroughs through covers, and the use of Jordan to attract defensive open shots......

is also a top-level defense, and is also good at playmaking, and Green next to Curry also plays like this.

Pippen won six championships with Jordan, and Green also won four championships with Curry.

Pippen's strength over Green is his physicality, but Pippen's most commendable defense is not DPOY.

So, looking at how much blood Green sucked from Curry, you can roughly understand how long Jordan has been carrying Pippen's weight.

If you think about it carefully, if you don't play next to Jordan, even if you are at the peak of Pippen, she is just a player above the All-Star and a quasi-superstar.

Doon has a Pippen template and will have a lot of improvement in physicality, defense and ball handling, but not much improvement on the offensive end.

If you want to become a superstar, you still need to have super attack power!

The upper limit of the strength of the star is still the scoring ability and the ability to solve at critical moments!

"Hey, I'm here to compete for the boss, why do I look more and more like the second one?"

"It seems that before I get the top ball-handling superstar template, I still have to suck blood!"

In Doon's view, after digesting the Pippen template, he is definitely an All-Star level player, and may even be close to the superstar field.

However, if you want to lead the team alone, your strength is still not enough.

However, at the moment, it was supposed to gnaw at the old Lakers F4 and mix up the championship.

There's All-Star Weekend to come, and Doon is sure to get a lot of money.

Thinking about it, with the support of domestic fans and the marketing of Nike and Lakers, Doon still has a great hope of becoming an All-Star player.

To get back to the point, after Doon got the Pippen template, he didn't have time to practice, and on December 3, he followed the Lakers to San Antonio again.

This time, although Popovich put Ginobili on the bench, he still couldn't solve the problem of the Lakers' multi-point offense and defense.

91-86, the two teams fought to the death and continued to fight each other, but the Lakers still won the game with a 5-point advantage.

On December 4, the Lakers faced the Dallas Mavericks on back-to-back roads.

With the ferocious momentum of continuous wins, the Lakers once again scored a high score of 100 points, 109 to 102, 7 points, defeating the Mavericks and retaining the first position in the league.

After the Mavericks, the Lakers stayed in Dallas for a day off, and Doon also invited everyone to a meal as agreed.

Immediately afterwards, he began to cooperate with Nike to shoot a promotional video in Dallas for a half-day, preparing in advance for the upcoming All-Star voting.

After returning to Los Angeles, Doon has digested some of the Pippen templates, and his ball handling and defensive ability have improved somewhat.

It is worth mentioning that Doon has gained a lot of Pippen's playing experience, and his understanding of the triangle offensive system has also greatly improved.

In other words, with the help of the triangle attack, Doon was able to score more efficiently.

It's just that there have been too many wins recently, and Peyton and Zen Master have some different ideas.

Zen believes that the fast break can be a tactical addition to the team, but the Lakers must stick to the triangle offense.

What Payton means is, now that we're leading the team to win, the Zen master is in charge of the locker room, the bench is in charge, and he's going to call a timeout. We'll take care of the game, don't keep beeping.

Feeling that the team's status was being challenged and the tactical concept was being questioned, the Zen master was even more dissatisfied with Payton, who was arrogant and increasingly lawless.

And on December 7, the Lakers played at home against the Jazz.

Malone sprained his knee after a physical confrontation during an offensive and was lifted off the court.

Although the Lakers still won the game, Malone's MRI showed that in the next two months, Malone will be in a state of recuperation and will not be able to continue playing.

The Lakers were originally recuperating from O'Neal's injury and lacked people on the inside, and now there is no Malone, which is undoubtedly a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

It just so happened that the Zen master's resentment towards Payton had long been uncontrollable, and now he took the opportunity to make trouble, injured Malone in the knee, and threw the pot to Peyton to keep speeding up and playing fast attack.

No one expected that during the period of continuous wins, the Lakers, who are the first in the league, would also break out in the locker room......
