Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 583: Thabeet and Hu Weidong star cards!

Chapter 583: Thabeet and Hu Weidong star cards!

Because of Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and the Lakers, Jordan was stimulated by Kobe and McGrady. The next day, Jordan took the initiative to challenge Beasley in the training ground.

Danzi even said to Beasley in a domineering manner, secretly, that there was no need to let him go, and that he should use all his strength and have a good fight with him!
Let him see what the strongest force in the NBA is like now.

Then, Danzi was severely beaten by Beasley in a one-on-one match.

Danzi's defense is very strong, the strongest in history. However, the strongest defense in history is still a little bit short of the strongest offense in history.

In the NBA, defense relies on the whole team. No matter how strong the individual defense is, it is difficult to completely lock down a superstar.

In a one-on-one duel, offense is much more important than defense.

If it's five-on-five, the offensive advantage will be much, much less.

As Jordan has played basketball for so many years, he naturally understands this truth. Being good at one-on-one duels on the training ground does not mean that he will be good on the court. If it really comes to a one-on-one duel, Alston is almost invincible on the one-on-one court and on the street court, but it is completely different in official NBA games.

Kobe and McGrady are very strong. Their strength is not just because of one-on-one combat. It should be said that their strength has surpassed the one-on-one combat and is combined with the cooperation of teammates. The reason why Durant and Westbrook were defeated in G6 was because of Kobe and McGrady. They were different from the previous five games. They did not simply compete with Durant and Westbrook. Instead, they took advantage of the situation, combined the threats of their teammates with their own threats, and combined their own threats with the threats of their teammates with others. Durant and Westbrook had no idea whether McGrady and Kobe were going to attack or pass the ball. The two's influence on the game reached an incredible level.

You can't judge what Kobe and McGrady are going to do, so they can do whatever they want, and in the end Durant and Westbrook collapsed.

In Jordan's era, it was almost impossible for a player to take advantage of his teammates' momentum and combine his own offense with that of his teammates so well.

Even at the peak of his career, Jordan was not able to reach this level. At that time, Jordan used the triangle offense to combine his offensive threat with that of his teammates.

As for McGrady and Kobe, they don't rely on any system. They can complete the offensive integration with their teammates by themselves. According to Du Kang, this is called "self-contained system". McGrady and Kobe are now the kind of players who have formed their own systems.

I can drive the system, and the system can also help my offense.

They are the gods in their own system.

In their system, no one can defend them. No matter how strong your defense is, you cannot defend them by yourself.

If basketball players have a realm, then this is the highest realm, the realm of God.

He once reached the realm of god by using the triangle attack.

Although he reached the realm of god by wearing triangle offense equipment, he was still the god of basketball, because at that time, except for him, no one else could reach the invincible realm of god even if they wore the equipment.

It is obvious that at that time, his realm was not as good as Kobe and McGrady now.

Perfectly integrate personal strength into the team, thereby reaching the realm of god, infinitely magnifying the team's strength, and infinitely magnifying one's own strength, and achieving mutual success.

The Jordan in the past never even thought that basketball could go on like this. At that time, he always thought that he had reached the end of basketball. In fact, he was just like Durant and Westbrook, who improved his personal strength to a certain level. In fact, he had just started.

"Mike, have you reached this level now?"

Faced with Jordan's question, Beasley was not sure how to answer it for a while.

Has it been achieved?

It has definitely been achieved.

After breaking through himself, he actually achieved it.

If he achieved it, Jordan's character would definitely make him get to the bottom of it and find out how he achieved it.

In dreams, you play more games, get abused more, cooperate more with your teammates, and achieve your goal naturally?
In fact, the life of Durant and James White in his dreams made Beasley gain a lot.

Not only has the potential broken through the limit, but the maturity of the state of mind is also completely different.

"Michael, you are still young. You will slowly catch up with us. The future belongs to you."

"..."

Jordan felt like hitting someone at this moment.

Damn it, this kid Beasley actually dared to say such things in front of me!
How dare you say in front of me that the future belongs to you? This kid is the same age as my son, right?
No, his eldest son is one year older than Beasley!
In other words, this teammate who could be his son actually said in front of him that he was still young and the future belonged to him. This was too uncomfortable.

If he really couldn't beat Beasley, he would want to walk onto the court, pick up the basketball, and give this arrogant boy a good beating!

Is Beasley arrogant?

In fact, he is not arrogant at all. In terms of age, Beasley is indeed younger than Jordan, and much younger.

But if we talk about basketball age, Beasley's age is enough for him to be Jordan's father, let alone his ancestor.

In terms of basketball age, McGrady is old enough to be a father or even an ancestor in any human civilization on Earth...

Whether it is McGrady or Beasley, they are extremely talented. Now with so many game training, their strength is actually a natural thing.

Jordan was under a lot of pressure, and everyone on the Bobcats could see it.

However, at this moment, no one deliberately helped Jordan get out of such pressure.

Because everyone on the Bobcats is under a lot of pressure right now.

What Jordan saw was McGrady and Kobe, but don't forget that the Lakers' strongest player was not Kobe or McGrady, but Yao Ming.

Your opponents Kobe and McGrady at least showed off their muscles in the Western Conference Finals. You can still see their strength, and their strength is also known.

But what about Yao Ming?
Yao Ming has been just slacking off on the Lakers this season.

Whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, we're actually just paddling.

He has never shown the invincible style of the 13-14 season when he made it through the playoffs alone, with triple-doubles, quadruple-doubles, or even averaging a quadruple-double per game.

This does not mean that Yao Ming's ability has declined, but that Yao Ming has not yet reached the stage where he can display all his abilities.

What stage is worthy of Yao Ming to give full play to his strength?
Of course it’s the stage of the finals.

So, look at Duncan, in order to be qualified to compete with Yao Ming in the finals, Duncan is working so hard now.

The one who was stabbed by Iverson kept screaming like a pig, but he still persisted.

Well, among the entire Lakers, perhaps only O'Neal, Kidd and Hill, the three veterans who are dreaming of returning to their peak, are the most relaxed.

Because they used the Dream Back to the Peak Card, they have enough strength in the competition. On the training ground, they are just retired old men and can only serve as sparring partners.

The Bobcats' training ground became quite lively because of the participation of the 76ers players.

Especially after Embiid came back, the funny combination with O'Neal was quite eye-catching.

The two of them do live streaming almost every day.

Embiid said he was acting like a little Yao Ming in the training field, but in fact, O'Neal was not playing in the training field, and Duncan was now concentrating on being pierced by Iverson. Then the ones who really practiced with Embiid, the little Yao Ming, were Myles Turner and Thabeet.

When these two play with Embiid, it's basically a one-sided beating.

So, Embiid soon found it less interesting.

He is too strong now. Last year, he couldn't easily beat Thabeet and Myles Turner, but now, he basically crushes them.

"Coach, even a little Yao Ming like me can beat them easily. I saw the finals. They were probably useless against Yao."

Embiid also ran to Durant to tell tales, saying that the Bobcats' inside line was a bit useless except for O'Neal and Duncan.

Duncan's current condition is unknown, and it is not known whether he can recover his peak athletic ability.

As for O'Neal, he can only play four games in a series, and play a maximum of 4 minutes in each game.

How can this stop Yao Ming?
In fact, this is also the reason why many expert media reporters are more optimistic about the Lakers.

The Lakers have a huge advantage over any team in the entire league.

Even though the Bobcats are strong enough, they still seem to have problems everywhere in front of the Lakers.

In fact, without Embiid's reminder, Durant also knew that his team needed an inside player who could cooperate with Duncan and O'Neal.

In the four games that Duncan and O'Neal can play at the same time, this inside player needs to be able to cooperate with Duncan to match Yao Ming and Jokic during the time when O'Neal is absent.

At the same time, this inside player also needs to work with Duncan to hold off Yao Ming, Jokic and other inside players when O'Neal is unable to play.

Embiid is right. The Bobcats must have a third center who can help O'Neal and Duncan.

Du Kang knows how strong Yao Ming and Jokic are, but it is impossible to create a player as strong as Yao Ming and Jokic now.

However, there is another way.

It is not necessary to be able to defeat Yao Ming and Jokic. As long as we can cause some trouble to Jokic and Yao Ming so that they cannot concentrate on dealing with Duncan and O'Neal or cannot concentrate on assisting in defending other players of the Lakers, it will be considered a success.

If Yao Ming is defending one player at a time, it is actually not that scary. What is scary is that if the player facing Yao Ming is not a threat, allowing Yao Ming to assist the team in defense, then the Bobcats' offense under the basket will be directly paralyzed.

Jordan, Rose, and Beasley actually all have a lot of inside offense.

Yao Ming will definitely be the Bobcats' biggest trouble at that time.

Therefore, Thabeet and Myles Turner must be threatening.

In Turner's intensive training camp, Du Kang has been strengthening his mid-range shooting, aiming to train him in the direction of his template Nowitzki. His mid-range shooting is still at a certain level. Although his mid-range shooting skills are far behind Nowitzki's, Turner's mid-range shooting attribute has reached 95, which is a very high attribute.

Turner certainly cannot be counted on to defend Jokic or Yao Ming alone on the defensive end, but it is already very good to be able to cause trouble for these two on the offensive end.

Instead, it was another introverted Thabit.

Du Kang's intensive training of Tabit has been to strengthen his athletic ability. Now Tabit's athletic ability is very good. For a player over 2 meters tall, his double speed exceeds 2, which is actually very scary.

He can be used as an outside player.

But his offense can only be shot under the basket, so it would be too crowded when he meets Yao Ming.

Therefore, Tabit must strengthen his offense, not only his catching and shooting skills, but also his offense with the ball.

If he is threatening when attacking with the ball, Yao Ming will not dare to let him go, and no one on the Lakers will dare to let him go. In this way, he can stay on the court and use his height, speed and assist defense ability to help O'Neal or Duncan defend Yao Ming and Jokic.

What if we improve Thabeet's ball-handling and shooting abilities?
Du Kang had actually thought of a strategy.

The team defeated the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals and won the Eastern Conference Championship, which was awarded an ordinary honor point.

Just enough to buy a bronze player card for Thabeet.

Du Kang has already been chosen, and Hu Weidong's star card is pretty good.

Giving an inside player an outside player's star card will cause integration problems. When Kobe used Novak's star card, it almost fused Kobe to death, causing Kobe to be unable to play basketball for a while.

Look at the cards that Bisley used of Durant and James White. Because of their similar heights and body shapes, it was so easy to combine them.

If it were an ordinary inside player using an outside player's star card, it would probably be more difficult than integrating Kobe with Novak, and it might even lead to a breakdown.

But Thabeet is an exception.

Because, although Thabeet is an inside player, his inside offensive skills are almost zero!

Yes, he is an inside player, but he doesn't know how to attack inside.

Thabeet is not an offensive kaleidoscope like Kobe.

Tabeet has absolutely no idea how to attack inside. He is basically a blank slate in inside attack.

White paper can be combined with any color without any conflict.

Therefore, Thabeet, a big, stupid player who has no skills and is despised by fans and experts all over the world in the real NBA world, is the best player to use an outside star card.

At the end of a day's training for the Bobcats, Thabeet looked at the amulet in his hand curiously.

The coach heard that he couldn't sleep these days because of the pressure from Yao Ming and Jokic, so he specially bought a talisman for him, hoping that he could have a good rest and sleep well.

After returning to the hotel, Tabit washed up, and fell asleep with the amulet given by the coach in his arms.

"Do you want to understand the truth of the world, the meaning of life, and the true meaning of basketball?"

"..."

In the dream, Tabit was stunned when he saw the magnified and glowing amulet above his head.

Soon, Tabit was completely stunned.

After a dizzying moment, there were a few loud cries.

He turned into a newborn baby!
Tabit looked at everything around him in confusion and fear.

"Hey, why is there another hook? From now on, you can be called Hu Weidong."

"..."

Familiar Chinese!
Still a Chinese baby!
