Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Chapter 186

Lian Feng knew that 2007 was destined to be an extraordinary year.

Basketball history has changed too much.

The Spurs, who were supposed to win the championship last season, were cut off by the Suns. Nash won the Finals MVP, and his career was complete.

The success of Nash and the Suns made all teams realize the huge potential of small ball play, so many teams began to try to integrate more small ball tactics into their own systems.

Nash's historical status will obviously be improved a lot. But correspondingly, the Spurs will lose one championship and Duncan will also lose one. Of course, his historical status will also be threatened.

So, when discussing the number one power forward in history, I'm afraid Garnett has another chance not to be recognized as Duncan.

But the premise is that he has to win a championship.

In addition to these big things, there are also some small things that may seem insignificant, but Lian Feng feels they are very important.

For example, the Arab League, who was supposed to participate in the draft this year, was persuaded by Lian Feng to train in the CBA for a year and then participate in the draft next year.

The reason is of course that Lian Feng doesn't want to be drafted by the unlucky Bucks and waste the important first few years of his career.

Lian Feng knows very well the impact a rookie will have on him after entering the league, the atmosphere of his first team, the first big brother he meets, and the first coach he meets.

Of course, there are some parts of history that follow a normal trajectory.

For example, Kobe is still brave this season.

Under his leadership, the Lakers were originally ranked first in the Western Conference in the regular season this season. However, after the Hornets suddenly emerged to dominate the rankings, they were not to be outdone and ranked second.

A very important reason why the Lakers are able to play so well is that Bynum has begun to realize his talent.

So Kobe, who was still having conflicts with the management this summer, had a smile on his face because he could finally win.

Bynum played at the level of a young shark, but unfortunately, he suffered an injury in the last game. Kobe suddenly became angry again, and the Lakers once again faced the fear of being dominated by the parallel No. 1 pick.

If Lian Feng remembers correctly, it won't be long before the Lakers get out of this predicament. Because if history goes according to plan, early next year Kobe will welcome Gasol, the most important helper in his career.

Well, even though many classic events will no longer happen because of my little butterfly, the inertia of history will still push things that I have not personally touched to move on the normal trajectory of history.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Gasol will join the Lakers.

After all, didn’t the Big Three reunite in this time and space?

…

Before 31-year-old Kevin Garnett came to the Celtics, he had just won another rebounding title.

Before this season, they went to Italy under the arrangement of the head coach. No one brought their mobile phones with them, and everyone listened to their own jokes.

This journey was wonderful. After coming back, everyone said that the three of them, especially, had become a "beautiful team".

To be honest, Garnett himself knows best and there is no need for the outside world to worry about the so-called "adhesion" problem between the three of them.

The 30-year-old Pierce is still one of the best outside attackers in the league and the most powerful low-post attack swingman in the league.

Allen, 32, is the best shooter in the world.

They will both be Hall of Fame players, both at the end of their primes, and combined, they are seven years younger than Barkley, Glider and Big Dream were 11 years ago.

But more importantly, all three of them have experienced many losses and conference finals victories, all at the end of their prime, and understand better than anyone how valuable such an opportunity can be.

Moreover, they complement each other extremely well!

Garnett still doesn't know this yet. Even if history goes back more than ten years, there will never be another giant combination as complementary as theirs in the entire history of the NBA.

Several of them even changed their numbers to show their love for each other.

Just as they had expected, they were unstoppable at the beginning of the season.

The Hornets over there won 14 consecutive games, while the Celtics only lost one game and won 13 games.

Therefore, the outside world even hailed this game as a "preview of the finals."

Garnett scoffed at this.

The Hornets are indeed very strong. What they do in the West is just as aggressive as the Celtics in the East.

but!

Those boys are too young.

Lian Feng and Paul are just young guys in their early twenties, and I can't even think of anyone on their team who is over thirty years old.

Even if such a team wins, it won't last long!

Garnett solemnly announced in front of media reporters, "We will end their 14-game winning streak!"

…

The game is played at the home court of the Hornets.

At this time, the team's home court returned to the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.

At this time, Lian Feng and other players were getting familiar with the new home arena.

New Orleans, like Oklahoma City, is also a small city, and the enthusiasm of the fans here is no less than that of Oklahoma City.

New Orleans fans certainly love this team deeply.

Like Cleveland, this small city has no sports league championships.

In addition to the NBA Hornets, there is also an NFL Saints team. Their record so far is also very poor. If history remains unchanged, they will have to wait until 2009 to bring the city its first professional league championship.

Residents of such small cities desire championships more than big cities.

Therefore, when the Hornets led by Lian Feng and Paul showed their ability to compete for the championship at the beginning of this season, you can imagine how excited the fans here will be.

The most outrageous thing is that a well-known local musician also composed a theme song for the team, which was accepted by George Sheehan and prepared to be played as the opening music at home.

The atmosphere in the team is very relaxed.

But Lian Feng knew that this game would not be that easy.

In the original time and space, the champion of this season was the Celtics. There was no way, the three giants together would have been terrifying. Perhaps the strength of each of the Celtics at this time was not as exaggerated as the Heat's three giants later.

, but the chemistry between the three of them is much superior!

The Big Three have a chemical reaction and the Celtics are really too strong this season.

And Rondo is a smart point guard.

It's really not easy to win.

But of course I won't be afraid.

Lian Feng's goal is to win the championship, so the Celtics must be an unavoidable mountain and must be surpassed!

Moreover, even though there are three giants over there, the lineup on our side is not bad either!

There is no doubt that he and Paul are also "giants", and David West has reached the peak of his career this season, and his abilities are also at the All-Star level!

Also sitting on the bench are Gasol, dunk king Desmond May, and bench gangster Bobby Jackson.

This will be a head-to-head contest!

Before the game, everyone gathered together in the team's locker room to cheer.

Winning for a long time has completely changed the temperament of the team.

Victory can become a habit. As long as you win enough, victory will become a state of mind, a subconscious thought and cognition, and in the end, it will become an attitude!

Lian Feng didn't say too many words of encouragement. He only asked his teammates: "Kevin Garnett said he wants to end our winning streak. Do we agree?"

"Crush them!"
