Chapter 442: 440. Defending the Inheritance of the God of Basketball
Who was the superstar who hated Jordan the most in the 1980s and 1990s?
Utah Shuangsha?
No, the Utah Shuangsha have lost to Jordan in the finals for two consecutive years, which can be said to be convincing. They and Jordan are real opponents who have an extremely important honor and hatred, but the opponent who stepped on that stage lost It was more of regret than hatred, and what turned into hostility in the end was not hatred either.
Charles Barkley?
No, although Barkley often acts against Jordan, but it is not a hatred. Except for the championship, the two have no overlapping honor conflicts. The two are about the same height, but their positions are completely different. There is no honor conflict. The achievement of three consecutive double MVPs was due to Barkley's superb performance in 1992-93, which took away Jordan's three consecutive MVPs in the regular season, so although Barkley shouted hate and don't come here, after retiring Played well with Jordan, and even bluntly said: I am the best player on this earth, you say Michael? He's God incarnate, so I didn't get the title.
Glider Drexler? The smiling assassin of the Bad Boys Legion? The super coach Pat Riley who has been stepped on by Jordan for countless years?
No, the glider has never had the opportunity to be compared with Jordan. Isaiah Thomas is also famous. Although it is a pity that he did not make the dream team, American players really feel dispensable for participating in the national team. Last year in the United States No star in the world championships is willing to participate. Pat Riley said that after Jordan retired, he retired his team's No. 23 jersey, and he was completely convinced.
If you want to say that the person who hated Jordan the most in the 1980s and 1990s is the new core of the Bucks, Gary Payton.
He has all the points of hating Jordan on Jordan's main enemy.
In the 1995-96 season, Payton played at a superb level, showing his dominance on both ends of the offense and defense. Seeing that the MVP and the best defensive player are going to be accounted for at the same time, well, Jordan came back and played 72 wins, and even squeezed him out After a while, not only that, but also used him as a stepping stone in the finals, opening the road to the second three consecutive championships.
Payton was snatched away by Jordan for personal honor and team honor.
This is not the key, honor is something, if it is robbed, it will be robbed, not many people will remember the losers, because there are too many players who did not win the championship and MVP, superstars did not get these two things There are also many.
What makes Payton hate Jordan the most is how Jordan can have such a high endorsement fee!
The famous "my sports car was sent by the sponsor" spam email made Payton a permanent object of ridicule. This kind of thing is not like losing in the finals. People will regret it anyway, because it is already very good to reach the finals.
And being ridiculed by Jordan's trash talk, it will make Payton his whole life, maybe as long as Jordan is still the number one player in NBA history, and the NBA has not been disbanded, this will become one of the jokes in basketball history, a very famous kind.
Therefore, Payton can say that he hates Jordan to the core.
Ever since, after Liu Mang made veterans like Shuangsha and Reggie Miller have a good impression of him after more than a year, there was only one person who became more unhappy the more he looked at Liu Mang. Mang's opponent today, Gary Payton.
What to learn from Jordan's free throw line flying dunk?
Are you still looking for Jordan to learn art from a teacher in the summer?
Jordan and Shuang Sha are bragging everywhere. One said that Liu Mang dunked so well this year because he learned from him, and the other team said that Liu Mang's soaring assist ability this year was taught by them.
When he was still in the Supersonics, because the Supersonics had almost collapsed, Payton didn't have much interest in playing for the Supersonics, and he didn't bother to compete with Liu Mang, mainly because he couldn't compete! When playing against the Eagles, the Eagles have already stood up, and the Supersonics can't beat the Eagles with their lives.
But it’s different now. Coming to the Bucks, a team that already has combat effectiveness, has strengthened so much. The Bucks have no big problem in the playoffs this year. There is a gap between the 76ers and the Hornets, but there is still hope for the sixth place in the Eastern Conference. No matter whether Kidd or Reggie Miller is played in the first round, Payton has the ability to teach them how to behave.
When he has no strength and capital, Payton is really shameless about talking trash and competing with opponents, which is different from a certain No. 21 who has nothing to do and yells about everything.
But with strength, Payton wanted to teach the opposite "Jordan disciple" who didn't provoke him much, but just looked unhappy.
Liu Mang is looking at Payton's ability value. The comprehensive ability value of 89 is really old. It has already fallen below the range of top stars, and it marks the "decline period" of ability value, which means it has almost fallen off a cliff. On the edge, Liu Mang is right when he thinks about it. When Payton hugs his thigh next season, although he still has the strength of a star, his ability value of 77 to 8, although he can start in many teams, is not the same as the current ability of 89. Compared with the value, it can be regarded as an avalanche decline.
Liu Mang saw his teammates doing the opening action, so he took out the dice and prepared a random task. Since people said that this was his opening action, he thought it would be good to use this as the opening action, right? It’s just so different .
Just when Liu Mang saw Rahim sprinkle the chalk into the air, and was about to throw the dice...
"Ding...daily task upgrade, special task: defend the inheritance of the basketball god."
"Defending the inheritance of the basketball god: Gary Payton is crazy about trying to blow up the host, wanting to defeat the host, a young player who is regarded as a disciple of Michael Jordan, and hitting Michael Jordan in the face, the host needs to lead the team to win Victory, and after winning the victory, publicly stated that Gary Payton will never be able to match the god of basketball. Task reward: Jordan’s absolute approval. Failure penalty: randomly deduct a defensive skill.”
"Jordan's approval: Michael Jordan will regard the host as a true disciple, who is both a teacher and a friend, and will not refuse the host's request for advice."
What is riding a horse?
Liu Mang saw that there was another task with no equal rewards and punishments. Well, if the task is completed, then he can learn skills from Jordan for many years when he is still in the rising stage, although the two play a little bit They are all different, but the richer the offensive methods are, the more powerful their own style of play is, of course, there are many benefits.
The most inexplicable thing about Liu Mang is that although he had an argument with Payton in the game before, he and Payton don't have much enmity, right? What is this guy doing to himself? Is there anything wrong with being handsome?
...
Soon, amidst Liu Mangchou's shameless wonder, the game was about to start.
After the big deal, the Bucks have greatly strengthened their strength, climbing from ninth in the Eastern Conference to sixth in the Eastern Conference, pushing Mr. Joe's Wizards out of the playoff ranks.
The Bucks at home sent Payton, Cassell, Drummond Mason, Tony Kukoc and Tim Thomas to the starting lineup.
With this lineup, Liu Mang sighed a little. If Payton, Kassel, and Kukocchi were all five years younger... Sure enough, they were right when they were old. When they were young, how would the others play?
For the Eagles, the regular starting lineup has been fixed, with Jason Terry, Prince, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff starting.
At the start of the game, Ratliff easily won the jump ball from Tim Thomas, and the Eagles went first.
Raheem opened the game by digging inside the Bucks, playing Drummond Mason.
The biggest problem for the Bucks now is that they are weak inside, but most of the inside in the Eastern Conference are very weak, so their road to the playoffs is no problem.
Raheem played the Bucks inside, just like playing. Kukoc knew that Raheem was good, so he hid far away. The ball hits the hoop.
Tim Thomas said he wanted to help, but Ratliff was holding his arms and he couldn't make it through! Go around to supplement the defense? He is a center forward, and now he is a center forward, not so fast.
The main reason is that Rahim came so fiercely, what if he was detained...
The Eagles’ starting tactic is to drill the inside first. This style of play is very clear. Although I don’t know much about the current Bucks, I can tell from the lineup that their inside defense is poor. This does not require too much research. Raheem's singles ability is a wave in the starting lineup stage to see how the opponent responds.
Offensive and defensive transition, the Bucks attack.
Unlike the Eagles whose main tactic is to hit the basket, the Bucks' offense is concentrated in the mid-to-long range. Counting Reid on the bench, the Bucks' outside firepower can be ranked among the top three in the league. After Payton joined, the Bucks have averaged 8.2 three-pointers per game in the past ten games, second only to The Hawks and Celtics have made more three-pointers than the Magic, Warriors, and Kings, three teams with a lot of outside shooting.
Payton's mid-range back shot combined with his teammates' running positions. Payton gave the ball to Kukoc. After Kukoc attracted the defense from the top arc, he passed it to the bottom corner. The iconic scary smile.
Liu Mang looked at the Bucks' tactics so smoothly, and sighed that they really deserved to be the only team in the East that caused trouble for the Nets in the original playoffs this year. This lineup is really like a match made in heaven except that they are a little older. , I really have a future basketball style.
It's a pity that there are no ifs, old age is old, stronger than the god of basketball, hasn't he come out in the past two years to pay off the debts that abused the league back then.
The Bucks' new style of play is really amazing. They throw more than 20 three-pointers in a game. Except for the Eagles and Celtics, the Bucks will do this recently.
Not to mention, it's quite accurate, Kukoc seems to be a few years younger after Payton came.
The first quarter lasted for more than 4 minutes and nearly 5 minutes. Coach Kruger saw the score of 10 to 14 and quickly called a timeout. Raheem scored one every minute and passed a flight attendant to Ratliff. , But what the hell the Bucks actually scored four three-pointers at the start, and Payton also iconically hit Prince on the back, which can't be stopped!
This feeling, is every day!
Kukoc made two three-pointers, Cassel made one, and even Drummond Mason made one. Although Drummond Mason only made 29 percent of his three-pointers, he made one Once you get one, you dare not let it go, people can throw it in!
This led to the fifth offense of the Bucks just now. Payton caught the ball in the low post and hit Prince with his back.
The Bucks have become so turbulent! It was beyond Coach Kruger's expectation. Since that was the case, Coach Kruger decisively called a timeout, and let the door go!
