Chapter 625 Larry Bird's Last Card



Chapter 625 Larry Bird's Last Card

God's left hand is still the most stable point on the Pacers, but it's a pity that he is now in the twilight years of his career. If it is Mullin at his peak, he can really cause a lot of trouble for the Grizzlies. As a scorer known for his shooting ability, this guy's shooting level is a bit worse than Larry Bird, but he is on the same level as Reggie Miller and Ray Allen. The biggest gap between him and Larry Bird is comprehensiveness and physicality. At first glance, there are a lot of rookies with explosive physical talents in the draft every year, but rookies with IQs that crush many players are rare. This is why everyone is not optimistic about this year's rookies.

Most of these draft favorites are muscles and sticks with outstanding physical talents. In the general environment of the league, this kind of muscles and sticks will basically not be lost, but it is impossible to bring you any big surprises. They can rely on their own bodies to defend, but unless there is a super point guard feeding them cakes on the offensive end, otherwise they can only watch.

In the third quarter, the pace of the game was quite fast. The Pacers did not make any major adjustments, but Rick Schmitz was brought up by Larry Bird again. Larry Bird is really hating his molars now.

"Damn it, the negotiations with Portland must be restarted. If the internal problems cannot be resolved, then the Pacers will not be able to go any further." Larry Bird is very optimistic about Xiao Ao. As a draft pick with Xiao Tian, ​​he is clear about his characteristics. A successor, but I didn't expect that Sabonis can still play now, and Rashid is also in his prime at this time. If this is the case, then Xiao Ao should continue to train, anyway, Paul Allen is not bad for his three melons.

But no matter what, it is impossible for Jr. to appear in the Pacers lineup in this finals. No matter how much he dislikes Rick Schmitz, but now he can only rely on the opponent. Rick Schmitz is still more effective than Dale Davis on the offensive end, but he cannot attract Duncan and Brand to double-team at the same time. This is the essential difference between him and those super insiders.However, he is still effective on the court, at least it can contain Brand's physical strength.

But the Grizzlies have muscles on the bench. Seeing that Brand’s physical strength is failing, Jerome James immediately puts on the battle. Larry Bird really wants to fight with Paul Westphal.

This is something that the Lakers can't figure out. This year, the Lakers have paid luxury taxes for the Big Five. Of course, a large part of the money is paid by the rich fans in Los Angeles, but their patience is limited after all. If they still can't cross the mountain of the Grizzlies, then the only thing waiting for the Lakers is to disintegrate. Maybe the ok combination will come earlier than the rupture of the historical space.

Jerome James is not a guy like Brand who just defends when he comes up. Apart from alley-oops and dunks, he has no other offensive means, and if he goes to pester Rick Schmitz, a Dutchman, it is really ravaging to death. Who makes Rick Schmitz so delicate and weak.Larry Bird had no choice but to replace Rick Schmitz with Derek McKay. McKay, a veteran, has become an all-around fighter for the Pacers in this finals. He can fight with muscles and sticks inside, and he can also go outside to defend guards like Xiao Tian. This guy is really a brick for the Pacers, and he can be moved wherever he needs it.

Larry Bird's substitutions were all forced, and this also led to the situation of the game completely falling to the Grizzlies' side. The Grizzlies did not relax their vigilance because of the big lead, and their desire for victory is still very strong.

In the third quarter, apart from Jamison's failure to score and being caught by the Pacers to launch a counterattack, the Pacers played passively at other times. The Grizzlies completely seized the Pacers' shortcomings and hammered them to death. This made Larry Bird even more anxious in terms of tactical arrangements.

"If the Pacers have a super ball-handler to play singles and attract defense at this time, then the Grizzlies' offense will not be so smooth. Larry Bird is too idealistic. He wants to play a team basketball, but he doesn't even know that a team is also built on individual strength. If there is no talent beyond ordinary people, team basketball is impossible to lead the team to victory." After that, the Spurs’ situation deteriorated day by day. Although they could still make it to the playoffs, that’s all. They couldn’t replicate Tim Duncan’s myth, because not every player could tolerate Popovich’s weird tactics. Superstars couldn’t take more than [-] shots.

As for the current Pacers, Larry Bird is not so pedantic. If there is a player who can take [-] shots, he would be too happy, but there is no such person in the Pacers.Richard Hamilton may be able to do it in a few seasons, but this season will definitely not work, and if Chris Mullin is at his peak, there is no problem.

The Pacers trailed by 10 points after the third quarter. Xiao Tian also did not rest for one minute in this quarter except for the regular timeout. This performance of leading by example aroused the cheers of the Grizzlies away fans, and Jordan was also very moved.

"This is a superstar, this is No.1 in the league, and he will give [-]% of his strength in important games." Jordan still wanted to boast about himself, but how could his deadly enemy, Isiah Thomas, make him happy.

"Hehe, don't put gold on your face. In the first few seasons of your career, besides stats, what else can you do, the finals? Have you ever made it to the Eastern Conference finals?"

Jordan gave Isiah Thomas a blank look, and didn't go to argue with the other party. In terms of sophistry, Larry Bird is the only one who can compete with Isiah Thomas. Reggie Miller may not work.

The Pacers fans at the scene were all cheering for the home team, because this game is too important to the Pacers. If they continue to lose, they will fall behind 98-[-], and there is no chance of a comeback. In NBA history, there is no team that came back from [-]-[-] in the finals. If it is true, it is an insult to people's IQ, not a miracle.Or the alliance deliberately manipulated, but the possibility of these two reasons is too small.The current alliance is not the era of Adam Xiao Hua. David's brain capacity is not comparable to Xiao Hua Neng. After Xiao Tian's rise, David knows that the NBA will enter a new era. In the Nike summer training camp in [-], Yao Ming, a well -known high school student in the United States, is also a big high school student in the United States. Heat, and Yao Ming's current attention, because Xiao Tian and Wang Zhizhen and others are also a lot higher, at least much higher than in the historical space.

The managers of many NBA teams are very interested in Yao Ming. If he participates in next year's draft, he will definitely be a top ten pick. Although this space is somewhat oppressed by Xiao Tian, ​​it is still much easier for a team with a super insider than an outsider.

The Grizzlies have the super outside line of Xiao Tian, ​​but the inside line is also an Optimus Prime like Duncan, so the inside line is much more important than the outside line in this era. That's why O'Neal said in an interview with reporters that if he was in the small ball era, he could average 50 points per game.

Super insiders will never decline in any era. This is what Xiao Tian has always believed. The reason why the Warriors in the historical space will succeed is because they have Stephen Curry, a cross-generational guy. Curry is the first man in NBA history to change the NBA structure by shooting. Even in some people's eyes, his influence is not weaker than George Mikan. That guy let the NBA define the three-second zone.And if there were dominant insiders like O'Neal and Duncan in that era, the ending would be really hard to say.

And now Yao Ming has attracted the attention of many teams. He seems to be selected for this year's Olympic team in Sydney.After Wang Zhizhi successfully played in the NBA for one season, the bosses of the blue shoes suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing to let the players go abroad to play. Although this would make many club owners unhappy, compared to making the basketball of the whole country have a good development, their personal gains and losses were nothing at all, let alone the clubs in this period.

The Pacers are actually chasing Xiao Ao this summer. Besides Xiao Ao, Wang Zhizhi is also their goal.Larry Bird likes players with high basketball IQ and willingness to improve himself. This is something neither Reggie Miller nor Rick Schmitz has. He actually hopes that Rick Schmitz can do more pick-and-rolls with Richard Hamilton. As a result, the Dutchman has never been indifferent. He feels that his style of play is just like this, and there is no need to change it.

But if he can get Yao Ming, that’s what Larry Bird would like to see. He has seen Yao Ming’s performance in the training camp. He happened to be the guest coach of the training camp at that time.

But the most important thing right now is how to win this game. Xiao Tian really played with a substitute in the fourth quarter. This bastard, when he was commenting, he praised him countless times. Now he actually doesn't give himself any face.Look at the grizzly bear that looks like a wolf like a tiger, and then look at yourself.Larry Bird didn't know what to do. Before the playoffs started, Larry Bird's imaginary enemy was the Lakers, because in his own imagination, it was impossible for the Grizzlies to break through the Big Five of the Lakers with their Gemini stars.

So the opponent in the finals became the Grizzlies. The biggest difference between the Grizzlies and the Lakers is the integrity of their lineup. Although the Lakers are the Big Five, their lineup is not complete. Both Glen Rice and Toni Kukoc at the third position are strong offensively and defensively.

So after losing two games in a row, I have to make a change, but how to change it? Many of my tactics are aimed at O'Neal, but the Pacers are currently facing Tim Duncan inside.

Larry Bird was very uncomfortable. He could only pray on the sidelines watching the substitutes play one by one. Jaylen Rose, a guy who was abandoned by himself for a whole season, didn’t know if he could play well this time. dance towel.

Jaylen Rose took it for granted, the protagonists were the last to appear on the stage, that idiot Larry Bird finally knew the value, hahahaha, come on, let everyone see how intense the anger from the Michigan Five Tigers is in this section of the game.
