From today on is the king

Chapter 442. 440. Defending the Inheritance of the God of Basketball

Who is the superstar who hates Jordan the most in the 90s?

Utah Shuangsha?

No, the Utah Shuangsha 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 incomparably important honor.

Charles Barkley?
No, although Barkley often acts against Jordan, but it’s not really 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. : I'm the best player on the planet, 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, 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, no star was willing to participate in the World Championships in the United States. For Pat Riley, he retired his team’s No. 23 jersey after Jordan retired, and he was completely convinced.

If you want to say that the person who hated Jordan the most in the 90s is the new core of the Bucks, Gary Payton.

He has all the points of hating Jordan on Jordan's main enemy.

In the 95-96 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 will be accounted for at the same time, well, Jordan came back and won 72 wins, and even squeezed him out for a while.

Payton was snatched away by Jordan for personal honor and team honor.

This is not the key, honor is something that is robbed, and not many people will remember the losers, because there are many players who did not win the championship and MVP, and there are many superstars who did not get these two things.

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 a sponsor" spam email made Payton a permanent target of ridicule. This kind of thing is not like losing in the finals or something. If you lose in the finals and have no championship in your life, people will regret it anyway, because reaching the finals is already very powerful.

And being ridiculed by Jordan's trash talk, it will make Payton his whole life, maybe as long as Jordan is still No.1 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.

So, after more than a year for Liu Mang to make veteran players like Shuang Sha and Reggie Miller have a good impression of him, there is only one person who gets more and more unhappy the more he looks at Liu Mang. This person is Liu 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 major problems in the playoffs this year. Although there is a gap with the top five Pistons, Nets, Pacers, 76ers, and Hornets, there is still hope for the sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Whether it is Kidd or Reggie Miller 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, has fallen below the range of top stars, and marks the ability value of the "recession period", that is, it is almost on the verge of a cliff-like decline. Liu Reck is right when he thinks about it.

Liu Mang saw his teammates doing the opening move, so he took out the dice to prepare a random task. Since people said this was his opening move, he thought it was good to use this as the opening move, 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 legacy of the basketball god: Gary Payton is crazy about killing 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 victory, and after winning the victory, publicly express that Gary Payton will never be able to defeat the basketball god. 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 mission with no equal rewards and punishments. Well, if the mission is completed, he can learn from Jordan for many years when he is still on the rise. Although the two play styles are not the same at all, the richer the offensive methods, the more powerful the play will be.

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 for fun. Kukoc knew that Raheem was powerful and hid far away. Raheem bumped away Drummond Mason and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

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 Hawks’ starting tactic is to drill the inside line first. This style of play is very clear. Although they don’t know much about the current Bucks, they can tell from the lineup that their inside defense is poor.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Bucks attack.

Unlike the Hawks whose main tactic is to hit the basket, the Bucks’ offense is focused on the mid-to-long range. Payton organizes the offense, Cassel’s starting lineup is off the ball, and he and Kukoc form a pair of outside shots. If you count Reed on the bench, the Bucks’ outside firepower can be ranked in the top three in the league. The three teams with a lot of outside shots, the Kings and the Kings, all made more three-pointers.

Payton's mid-range post-up combined with his teammate's running position. Payton gave the ball to Kukoc. After Kukoc attracted the defense from the top arc, he passed it to the bottom corner.

Liu Mang looked at the Bucks' tactics so smoothly, and lamented that it was 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 for being a little older, it really has a future basketball style.

It's a pity that there is no if, old 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 [-] 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 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. It was really good, but the Bucks actually scored four three-pointers in the opening.

This feeling, is every day!

Kukoc made two three-pointers, Cassel made one, and even Drummond Mason made one. Although Drummond Mason only made 20.00% of his three-pointers, he dared not let go of one. He could 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!
