Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

After playing with the Magic, Adelman's heart finally calmed down. He knew that this Hornets team had completed its transformation. No matter who the opponent was, they could make the most effective response with the existing personnel configuration.

Stable, really stable.

Sure enough, as Adelman expected, when Lien was moved to the No. 5 position, the Hornets continued their cheating schedule, and finally got a terrifying 33 points after Gasol was absent for nearly a month.

The winning streak tied the record set by the 1972 Lakers team.

And in this process, Lian Feng's name echoed in people's hearts again and again.

…

After the Hornets won 33 consecutive victories and were about to usher in the 34th game that might make history, ESPN produced a special program and invited many celebrities such as Jordan, Barkley, and Bill Russell to discuss the Hornets.

One incredible record after another has been set this season.

The theme of this episode is "Can the Hornets build a dynasty? If so, how did this dynasty get to where it is today compared to the Bulls and Lakers dynasties?"

Regarding the first question, everyone's opinions are relatively consistent, that is, the Hornets are very hopeful to win three consecutive championships and establish a Hornets dynasty.

When the second question was discussed next, the celebrities expressed their opinions respectively.

Jordan was leaning on the sofa. It was Russell who spoke at this time. Jordan listened carefully to what the old man said: "I think it's defense. The Hornets' defense this season has been very good. Every one of them

They have a good attitude and work hard on the court. Whether it is the rookies on the outside, Yin Baka on the inside, the newly promoted center, ha, I mean even forward, their defense is very good."

Then, Barkley also took up the topic: "I think their offense is even more amazing than their defense. This season's Hornets' offensive efficiency is the first in the league. They score 16 points more than their opponents per game."

, which has broken the record of nearly ten years."

At this time, everyone focused on Jordan and asked: "So Michael, what do you think?"

Jordan smiled and said: "Okay, okay. I think what everyone said makes sense. Both offense and defense are the characteristics of the Hornets and the reason for their victory... But what I want to say is

...Have you ever thought about why the Hornets' offense and defense are so strong? Let me tell you my point of view...I think there is only one main reason why the Hornets can win...that is the combination of forwards."

Jordan's expression gradually became serious: "To be honest, I never thought that there would be such a player in the world... It is simply a miracle. He has the top jumping, speed, explosive power, body flexibility, coordination, and has the top level in history.

He is 2.03cm tall. This height is very strange. He is too tall when playing outside and too short when playing inside, but he is perfectly balanced between the inside and outside."

"So we saw an incredible guy. He could handle the ball like a guard, use an elite first step to get past opponents, shoot mid-range fadeaways like a traditional shooting guard, and shoot the ball like a three-point shooter.

He shoots from the outside, and at the same time he can roam the penalty area like a power forward, toying with opponents with his fantastic footsteps at the basket. At the same time, he can protect the basket like a center and beat the opposite center with his back. By the way, you still remember the last game.

Well, he even scored 8 points with a big hook like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!"

Jordan said: "This guy can do everything on the court, and he has recently developed the ability to support me! Three-pointers, back-up skills, low-post steps... What else can he not do? I have to admit, he is me

The most versatile player I have ever seen!”

"Both Kobe and I... are only comprehensive at their own positions... It is absolutely impossible for me to play power forward or center. There are only two people who can truly handle any position with ease.

One is Magic Johnson, and the other is Lien. In comparison, I think Lien is even more extreme. Magic won 5 championships at his peak, and Lien will be even more incredible than Magic!"

Jordan actually has a word he hasn't said yet. Judging from Lian Feng's performance, if he can keep playing like this, maybe one day he will replace himself and become the basketball god of this era!

…

David Stern was actually very melancholy during this time.

The reason for the melancholy may not be understood by others, and that is...the Hornets are too strong.

Lien Feng is now at his peak. Although there are many voices from the outside world that after gaining extreme weight, he is likely to suffer serious injuries in his career and fall from the altar. But it has to be said that this is only a possibility... At present, it is even possible to

Not even Lian Feng has this tendency.

Although David West's contract expires next season, the rest of the team has basically grown up, especially if David West chooses to leave next season, it will just free up salary space for Marc Gasol.

.And the other main players are all a group of rookies!

Today's Hornets are so strong, but what's outrageous is that only Lien Feng and David West have really big contracts. Even their salary structure can be further optimized next season! What does this mean? They

It can guarantee the current team for at least three to five years, and also free up a certain amount of salary space for further reinforcement in the next one or two years.

Moreover, judging from the current development of the players of the Hornets, they will definitely go further in the future, and the strength of the Hornets will even rise instead of falling in a few years!

It’s simply outrageous! Even a dynasty as strong as the Bulls disintegrated directly in the air after their second three consecutive championships. And if the Hornets create a Hornets dynasty this year, then it is very likely that they will be able to make it happen in the next few years.

The entire alliance is in a dark environment.

In the early days of the establishment of a dynasty, it is beneficial to the entire NBA league, which means more traffic exposure and allows more people to pay attention to the NBA.

However, once a dynasty lasts too long, such as four consecutive championships and five consecutive championships, it will definitely be detrimental to the NBA. The outcome is already doomed, and then attention will definitely decline. A reasonable business alliance can have strong

There are weaknesses, but it must not be one family that is the only one, and one family can last for many years.

So the problem is very difficult. There is only one reason why the Hornets can achieve this series of achievements today, and that is Lian Feng. They have no violations, and there are no loopholes that can be exploited by the league to weaken their strength...

Gotta let the Hornets compete!

If...if the Hornets cannot be weakened from within, then we can cultivate one or several powerful opponents for them...

David West licked his lips, and a plan took shape in his mind...
