NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The more you play, the better.

There are indeed big shooters in the NBA today.

For example, Robert Horry of the Lakers, who is 2.08 meters tall, has a 3-point shooting percentage of 44% this season!

For example, Walter McCarty of the Celtics has a 3-point shooting percentage of 37% this season!

But they are just big shooters, they can only shoot and can't provide other offensive and defensive values.

Of course, when it comes to this, someone will definitely ask, what about Dirk Nowitzki who just joined the NBA this year?

The young Nowitzki is also a good player in single defense, switching defense, and fast-forwarding all the way. This is indeed true. In terms of overall offensive and defensive effects, he is much stronger than the above two.

But Dirk Nowitzki is only a rookie this year. His three-point shooting rate is only 20% this year. He can't even make one three-pointer per game. He is not a big shooter.

The common feature of big shooters is that they are not good at confrontation. They usually practice shooting hard to add some chips to their survival space in the NBA because they are not good at confrontation.

What is Han Yi doing?

You are already the top inside devil in the NBA. You still want to dominate the outside, right?

The key is, how can the opponent defend you with this kind of play?

Just talking about the inside combination of the 76ers, their twin towers are pure traditional inside players. If he switches to defend outside the three-point line, isn't that a pure waste?

But if he doesn't go inside to defend Han Yi, let the 2-meter-tall forward defend?

Isn't that a waste of waste?

Han Yi grinned and shot another three-pointer!

"Swish!!"

Hit again! !

Han Yi's three-point line is a chain of cannons, which is a bang bang score!

It's not that Iverson didn't score again, but the efficiency. Compared with the three-pointers that were scored, the efficiency was too slow!

The Philadelphia 76ers were supposed to lead by ten points, but under Han Yi's three-point rain, he overtook them alone!

The referee Dick Bavetta felt the pain of a good cook without rice at this moment!

He wanted to call another foul on Han Yi, but Han Yi didn't have any physical contact with the 76ers players at all, and just shot three-pointers outside. What can you do?

On the defensive end, Han Yi showed a textbook defensive stance, with his hands raised high, and never any downward movement, giving the offensive players enough space to shoot.

You can say that Han Yi's defense is not in place and not aggressive, but if you say that Han Yi fouled this ball, that's lying with open eyes!

So, what can you call? You can't call a foul on Han Yi, right? That would be too shameless, right?

And...

Dick Bavetta couldn't help but murmur in his heart:

"Although Han Yi's three-point shooting rate is over 40%, he only shoots a few balls at most in each game. But today I didn't let him play in the paint, and forced him to shoot three-pointers continuously, and he shot so accurately!"

"I really can't tell whether I am helping the Philadelphia 76ers or harming the 76ers. After all, if the ball kills the paint, Iverson's scoring efficiency is not bad, but if Han Yi is allowed to shoot three-pointers outside, this game will be a waste again!"

"Referee, look, he fouled, Dennis hit my hand, Ben Wallace hit my head!"

Here, Han Yi was not called, but Iverson was anxious!

Of course, Iverson was anxious not because Han Yi was not called, he was anxious because he attacked the paint again and again, why didn't he call the foul?

In the first half of the game, Iverson had enough strength to put the ball into the basket even if there was no foul. But this time, after Iverson rushed in with the explosive pack again, he didn't put the ball in. He just got a few slaps in the face and fell to the ground, and nothing else!

How can this be tolerated? Who can tolerate it?

But facing Iverson who was beaten, Dick Bavetta did not go to the Celtics' inside line to make trouble, but decisively blew another technical foul on Allen Iverson!

Although he didn't say a word, what he wanted to say was already in this whistle:

"I have helped you so much, not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you still yell at me, which is really outrageous. What, do you think I owe you, or I took your money? Don't know when to stop, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

But Iverson just didn't understand this. When he saw the referee blew a technical foul on him, he started to speak like a lotus, and he said to the referee, "I have helped you so much, but you don't know how to be grateful, but you still yell at me. It's really outrageous. What? Do you think I owe you, or do you think I took your money? Don't know when to stop, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

But Iverson just didn't understand this. When he saw the referee blew a technical foul on him, he started to speak like a lotus, and he said to the referee, "I have helped you so much, but you don't know how to be grateful, but you still yell at me, which is really outrageous. What? Do you think I owe you, or do you think I took your money? Don't know when to stop, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

But Iverson just didn't understand this. When he saw the referee blew a technical foul on him, he started to speak like

Dick Bavetta was scolded.

Finally, he was dragged away by Han Yi:

"My brother, calm down. I hope that when your 76ers are down 3:0, you are on the court, not in the locker room. "

Han Yi dragged Iverson down, and he really calmed down: "If you want to talk bad, you have to be the one!"

"I haven't given up yet!"

In the next round, Iverson went to the inside again with a bomb, and this time he hit Ben Wallace's stone-like body hard, and there was a response!

The referee whistled!

Iverson scored!

2+1!

The score between the two sides was tied again!

Iverson looked up to the sky and howled, venting the pent-up anger in his heart!

This scene is very suitable as the cover page of the newspaper!

The title is:

"Allen Iverson scored 44 points but couldn't win! 》

《3:0! No one survived the 76ers! 》

《55 points! 7 of 10 three-pointers! Han Yi is the only true god this season! 》

Iverson never thought that his long roar would become his last highlight of the game, because less than a minute later, Han Yi found that his ban on inside attacking the basket had been lifted!

The referee no longer deliberately called Han Yi's fouls in the melee, so... the 76ers naturally had nothing to do!

This is also because today's referee Dick Bavetta finally figured out that the 76ers' goals for this season are not at the same level as the Celtics'!

The 76ers' goal is to enter the playoffs and then fight, while the Celtics have only one goal, that is:

Fight for the championship! Fight for the championship! Still fight for the championship!

The next day!

4:0!

The Celtics swept the Philadelphia 76ers and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!

The opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals is: Indiana Pacers!

Meanwhile, the major awards of the 98-99 season were announced one by one!

Not surprisingly, Han Yi became the biggest winner again!

And the biggest loser is Tim Duncan!

1998-1999 NBA All-Star Team:

PG: Jason Kidd, SG: Allen Iverson, SF: Han Yi, PF: Karl Malone, C: Shaquille O'Neal!

Since Han Yi moved from the center position to the power forward position this season, O'Neal, who cursed last season, won the first All-Star Team of his career this season!

And since Han Yi appeared in the forward position, Tim Duncan could only be squeezed into the All-Star Second Team.

Well, let's pity Tim Duncan for three seconds!
