Chapter 122 Four Great Shooting Guards
Chapter 122
The New York Knicks' away game against the Houston Mosaics is also a focus of attention for many Chinese fans.
Dayao and Shen Feng.
It can be said that it is a representative figure in the minds of Chinese fans, one in front and one in back.
In fact, based on this calculation, Yi Jianlian was more powerful than Shen Feng when he first joined the alliance.
After all, before Shen Feng was selected, he didn't have much momentum. Xiaobai was different from people from "professional" backgrounds like Dayao and Yi Jianlian. No one paid attention to Shen Feng, no one noticed, and no one cared. He is not as high as Yi Jianlian, but the final effect is even better than Yi Jianlian at the beginning.
It's not that Yi Jianlian was not good at the beginning, but that Shen Feng is so good now that some people have said, is Shen Feng's performance better than Dayao's now?
This is not some "rebellious statement".
And since the two players have played, they must be put together for discussion.
Didn't you see that the fans of Yi Jianlian in China are now untenable?
Wasn't it because Shen Feng was so popular that he stole Yi Jianlian's limelight?
Yi Jianlian's fans don't know how to praise Yi Jianlian. After all, no matter where you look at it, Shen Feng's performance is so good now, so good that it explodes.
Yi Jianlian couldn't compare with him at all.
Then Yi Jianlian can't be compared, Dayao can always.
But talking with Dayao, it was the turn of Shen Feng's fans to slap their swollen faces and pretend to be fat.
Who is Dayao?
That is the pillar in the minds of countless Chinese fans, a figure who is like a sea god.
And his performance in the league is not bad, even very good. According to the words of domestic fans, he punched Nanshan O'Neal and kicked Beihai Howard.
Dayao is the number one center in the league.
Even for Shen Feng himself, Dayao is not just a name, but a giant. Dayao's status in China is the same as Jordan's status in the United States.
No matter how Kobe and James are in your future generations, if you compare with Jordan, someone will definitely scold you
Why scold you?
Because everyone thinks you are not qualified!
Naturally, these people are also their own fans and supporters, but judging from the general panic like this, they are still a bit worse.
Why is it so short?
The background of the times is different!
You said that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach.
But no matter how you say it, the latecomers are standing on the shoulders of the predecessors to see the world.
You can never argue with that.
They represent an era.
Just like Dayao.
Even if Shen Feng really makes a famous name in the future, wins the championship, wins the MVP, and leads the national team to achieve what kind of results, everyone will only say that you are pushing the old to bring forth the new, and will not say that you are superior to Dayao. superior.
When did Dayao come from?
Could it be the same at that time as at this time?
Different!
Not counting the rough before, Dayao is a trailblazer to some extent.
No matter how many honors Shen Feng had, it was impossible for him to go past Dayao, let alone no honors yet, only some achievements.
Of course, Shen Feng himself never thought of being compared with Dayao.
First of all, this thing is meaningless, and secondly, can it be changed by paying so much attention?
The same cannot be changed.
And back to the upcoming game.
This season, people's expectations for Mosaic are very low. Even if McGrady returns, can you believe that they can reproduce the legend of 22 consecutive victories that has been rare for several years?
The loopholes in the center position of the mosaic will make it very difficult for them to execute many tactics. You must know that after Dayao was injured, the center position was replaced by the rock-solid "African Mountain" Mutombo. It is enough for Mosaic to perfectly implement the "one grab and four shots" style of play. Now, Mosaic can only be topped by Hayes at the beginning of the season. The gap between him and Mutombo can actually be seen from the height.
As for David Anderson, he is indeed a good choice to supplement the inside firepower when Yao is away, but on defense, it is difficult for him to guarantee everything that the team needs when defending and transitioning offense like Yao and Uncle Mu.
What did ESPN say at the start of the season?
Mosaic's center position will become the first choice for opponents to attack in the new season. At that time, I am afraid that the Warriors, Knicks and other teams can play positional warfare with Mosaic, or rush into the penalty area to score.
Warriors and Knicks can play positional warfare with Mosaic
This is definitely not a good word, because these two teams are notoriously weak inside.
Of course, excluding the center position, the other 4 positions of Mosaic are still very good. Scola, Ariza, Battier and Xiaobu, they have both offense and defense. If McGrady returns, the team's offense and defense in these four positions can still be good Maintained considerable competitiveness, but these are not enough to make up for the shortcomings of the center position. In a team that is used to developing tactics around the center, after they suddenly lose the center, they may not know how to grab rebounds.
Of course, Mosaic's second team is good.
It's just that Mosaic's second team is quite good. Lowry and Landry have been stable and capable in the preseason. Budinger is a good shooter. With the support of one or two main players, they may make up for the starting lineup. Some debts owed by the company.
However, it is not easy for such a Mosaic to break out in the West, unless McGrady recovers the skills of the two-time scoring champion and was invited by Kobe to summer training with him. In fact, even if Mosaic has such a McGrady, now this Mosaic It is not easy to get a place in the playoffs. For details, you can refer to the Warriors of the previous year and the Suns of last year.
At the beginning of the season, Dayao was reimbursed for the season, McGrady came back indefinitely, and Artest and Ariza switched clubs.Therefore, many so-called senior basketball critics jump to conclusions that Mosaic has won at most 20 wins and is the bottom of the Western Conference!
I think that Mosaic doesn't even have an average scorer, so he can give up the whole season to compete for a high draft pick.Finally, the new season started, and the Mosaic boys did not act as depressed as some "experts" thought. They fought against the Lakers until overtime, as if they saw the shadow of last year's Western Conference Finals.
At the beginning of the season, Brooks and Ariza let go of their shots without any consideration, and they did give Mosaic almost all the victories they should win, and they also defeated teams including the Lakers.
However, Langtou has been criticized so much that the nicknames "Tie Zha" and "Iron Clothes" were given to them.
In December, Landry did look like an All-Star, averaging 12 points per game, second only to Wade and LeBron in scoring in the final quarter, and won the hearts of all Mosaic fans at once, and once became a contender for the best sixth man.At this time, Mosaic also ranked in the top eight in the Western Conference with a winning rate of about 16%.
But the successor is weak. After all, there is no star now, so what can I say.
But judging from the record, the Mosaic team is really good at present.
So far 20 wins and 16 losses, not worse than the Knicks at all.
Shen Feng has no impression of mosaics.
Closer to home, without Dayao's mosaic team, Shen Feng still outperforms many eastern teams in his mind. Even Shen Feng has no doubt that if this mosaic team is left in the east, they will definitely make it to the playoffs.
Of course, it must not go far.
After the Mosaic team lacked Dayao this season, Adelman realized that Mosaic without Dayao really couldn't break through in the West.
After the absence of Dayao last season, Mosaic still played seven games with the Lakers, which made Adelman mistakenly think that his Princeton tactics are very powerful.
But in fact, the Chinese giant is the truly indispensable soul of this mosaic.
No matter how ecstasy Scola's diamond dance moves, no matter how convulsive Brooks is, they can't attract double teams.
People all over the world thought that Dayao was selected as the All-Star starter because of Chinese fans, but in the last few years of his career, Dayao really relied on his own ability.
And what about McGrady without Dayao's cooperation?
Let alone being injured right now.
Even after his comeback, Shen Feng remembered that he also played the role of the team's sixth man. He only played 6 games and averaged only 3.2 points per game.
The former Xikedongai, Nanmai, North Carolina
Unconsciously, only that unyielding fighter is still strong year after year, day after day, yes, it is you, Vince Carter!
Every time McGrady is mentioned, he regrets his career. Injuries prevented this favorite from reaching his goals. During the five years in Mosaic, the Yao-Mike combination was always a hair's breadth away from the Western Conference Finals.Their combination cooperated tacitly and took care of both inside and outside. However, Dayao and McGrady suffered from injuries successively, and intermittent games made Mosaic always fail.
In later generations, as Mosaic continued to drive high and low, the management completely disbanded the Yao-Mac combination in 10 years. With the conclusion of the three-way deal, McGrady was sent to the New York Knicks and began a career downhill. McGrady didn't realize this, and he contributed his New York debut in a fit of anger.
BJ时间2010年2月21日，纽约尼克斯队在NBA常规赛当中以118-121加时不敌雷霆队。尼克斯的新援麦迪在麦迪逊广场花园的精彩首演完全符合球队的预期目标。
It's just that McGrady's brave performance was not enough to stop Durant and the thunderous Thunder, they stole McGrady's show.Durant scored a game-high 36 points and hit a key jumper in the last 16 seconds of overtime to help the Thunder win their eighth straight.
Durant said: "We knew before the game that McGrady's arrival would inject a lot of energy into them. He played very well and recovered his health, but I want to take the victory."
反观麦迪，他出场32分钟，17投10中高效地砍下26分5助攻4篮板和1次抢断，麦迪用华丽而全面的表现完成了在纽约的首秀。
Every time he performed perfectly after taking the ball, he seemed to be telling Mosaic that the consequence of not paying attention to me could only be regret.Every sharp breakthrough and every decisive jump shot of him can ignite the passion of Madison Square Garden fans in an instant. They welcome this proud man to lead the Knicks to glory.
That day, in the fourth quarter, the Knicks fans chanted: "We want tmac!" At that moment, it seemed that time stood still, leaving McGrady with infinite expectations for the future and the courage to start again.
However, that was his last high-energy performance. Since that reverse dunk to the basket, McGrady is no longer the boy in white with a spear.
In later generations, many people are discussing how strong McGrady is.
In later generations, McGrady was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, becoming the second player in the NBA's "Big Four Shooting Guards" to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the early 21st century (Iverson was selected in 2016).
So, is it so easy to get into the Hall of Fame?Why did the outside world refer to Kobe, McGrady, Iverson and Carter as the "Four Shooting Backs" in the early 21st century instead of others?
Obviously, the Hall of Fame is not easy to enter, and the "four shooting guards" are not just talking.
First of all, it is said that McGrady is a superstar, no one should deny this, right?
Although McGrady led the team with poor results, he has not led the team to achieve convincing results.
Objectively speaking, this is not to say that McGrady is not good enough. His skills have been recognized by many superstars, including Kobe, who admits that McGrady is his most difficult opponent.
But why is McGrady leading the team so poorly?
Character plays a decisive role.
If the teams where Kobe and McGrady stayed are swapped, McGrady is likely to achieve very good results, of course, he may not be able to achieve Kobe's achievements, and Kobe may not necessarily reach today's heights.
Personally, I think McGrady's personal peak should be the four years of the Magic.If you count the peak period, it should be in the first three years of playing for Mosaic.
Another statistic: As a scorer, McGrady scored a total of 18381 points in his career, and in the first three years and seven seasons of the Magic and Mosaic, he scored 7 points.In other words, 13195% of his total career points were obtained during this period, is it true?
In the 2002-2003 season, McGrady averaged 32.1 points per game, crowned the scoring champion, and was also selected to the best team of the season.
McGrady has won two scoring titles in his career.
A total of 2 players have won 17 or more scoring titles in NBA history.
Five of them played before 5 years.
People always say that McGrady's honor is only the two scoring champions, but they didn't expect that the two scoring champions are not so easy to get, right?
There is another game, and that is the game that touched God in 2004. 35 seconds and 13 minutes is definitely a highlight in the long history of the NBA, and it is also a classic that countless wheat fans have infinitely replayed in their minds.A classic is a classic, it exists there, and no one can obliterate it.
McGrady at his peak, with his personal ability, is definitely the existence of the first-tier star in the NBA.
The game between the Knicks and the Mosaics is about to begin at the Toyota Center.
Without Dayao, Mosaic began to speed up in an all-round way this season, and Scola is the center of this Mosaic team.
The starting point guard is Abrus, and the remaining three are Battier, Trevor Ariza and Hayes.
The Knicks' starters are Shen Feng, Chandler, Gallinari, Harrington and David Lee.
The game is about to start.
