NBA: In what era, still playing traditional basketball

December 9, US time.

The Boston Celtics easily defeated visiting Denver Nuggets at home.

It is different from the future where the west is strong and the east is weak.

In the 90s it was typical that the east was strong and the west was weak.

There are many bad teams in the West.

Except for the most heart-wrenching spurs.

Not long after the start of the tournament, it was decided to compete for the title.

The Nuggets, Grizzlies, Mavericks, Warriors, Kings and other teams played games for more than a month.

also joined the pendulum ~ rotten team one after another.

In its original history, the Clippers finished eighth in the West with just 36 wins in the '96-97 season and made the playoffs.

This is simply unimaginable after 20 years.

And the reason why there are so many bad teams.

Naturally to fight for the flying devil of the Vic Forest, Tim Duncan.

As Yers fights better and better.

Duncan's ball intelligence is extremely high, and the physical fitness of the inside market is also rising.

Everyone wants to replicate the success of the Celtics this season, so there is no lower limit to the rotten position.

The battle for Duncan, a month after the start of the season, entered a white-hot phase.

After beating the Nuggets.

The Celtics have also officially achieved 10 consecutive wins and currently have a 17-2 record, ranking first in the league!

It's just that on this day, the hot news of the league does not belong to the Celtics.

The eyes of the world are focused on the Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls.

In this game, Jordan scored 40 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 32 shots to lead the team to victory.

But a shot in the game has become an eternal classic picture in the NBA.

Iverson's unruly personality piqued Jordan's interest.

In a key round, Jordan switched defenses directly with his teammates and personally went to guard Iverson.

As a rookie, Iverson faced the defense of the basketball god, but did not panic at all.

After two consecutive crotch dribbles to find rhythm, the direct signature crossover dangled past Jordan.

It was even hit on his head!

Jordan was even stumbled by this extremely realistic feint.

Although it was not shaken down so exaggerated.

But the god of basketball was deflated in front of a rookie, which naturally caused widespread discussion in the league.

Jordan, who has been in the league for many years, not only has outstanding scoring ability, but also won the best defensive player in defense.

A player who has no weaknesses on either end of the offensive and defensive ends.

There are few images of him in his entire career.

And now, a rookie has done it.

Shake past Jordan and hit the shot!

The so-called god of basketball is no more than that!

The Class of '96 champion seems to be proving to everyone that this year is not just the Yeth League.

He Allen Iverson, too, is not bad!

Although due to the gap in team strength, the 76ers could not win the game in the end.

But this one was not convinced, and wrote the word "aggressive" on his face.

But let countless fans remember him.

I am looking forward to Iverson and Yes, the two brightest rookies of the 96th class.

Showdown in the upcoming Christmas War.

............

Boston.

North Shore Garden Arena.

As usual, Yes came here to prepare for daily training.

And just as he arrived at the arena, Auerbach found him and told him the good news.

Bruce Bowen has passed the team's tryout and medical examination, and today is the day of the official coverage!

It's funny why this has dragged on for so long.

After losing the draft, Bowen was left alone, and he didn't even get a chance at summer league.

Frustrated, he wandered the streets in order to live, and almost became a gang member.

In a street fight, he suffered a minor injury.

When the Celtics contacted him and wanted him to come for a tryout.

Bowen was lying in the hospital.

When he heard the news, he was ecstatic.

I thought I had no hope of playing in the NBA, and I was ready to find another him.

As a result, the sky is dawning!

Bowen naturally cherished this opportunity.

Recovery training is performed as soon as he is discharged from the hospital.

Wait until the state adjustment is almost complete before coming over for trial training.

Auerbach eventually offered him a temporary 2-year non-guaranteed contract and recruited into the team.

And for Yes, who recommended him to join the team, Bowen is even more grateful.

He had already made up his mind to hug Yes's big thick legs and never let go.

"Ye, thank you for recommending me to the team!"

"Not only do you play well, but your vision is also very vicious!"

"You must have seen the potential in me!"

As soon as he saw Yes, Bruce Bowen immediately put down his basketball and ran over: "I've been practicing my fighting skills hard lately!" "

"If there is anything on the field in the future, I will definitely rush to the first to ensure that no one dares to make a black hand on you!"

Bowen opened his eyes forcefully, as if to let Yees see the sincerity in his eyes.

But his words made Ye Si speechless for a while?

Hardening your martial arts skills?

Did you get the point wrong?

Aren't we a basketball team?

"Uh, Bruce, what makes you think the team needs martial arts?"

Yees shook his head and asked Bowen.

Bowen, on the other hand, pointed to Big Ben not far away, and said, "That's what he told me when I chatted with Ben before." "

"If we want to stay in the team, we have to play tough enough!"

"And I've watched all the Celtic games, and Ben did the same, and he now has a nickname among the fans called the Green Army fighter!"

Hearing this, Ye Si glared at Big Ben fiercely.

This guy is becoming more and more unreliable, and he was actually nicknamed a fighter by fans.

Thinking about it this way, in just over a month, Big Ben really did a lot of things.

Hugging O'Neill, boxing Miller, grappling Barkley.

All of them are famous scenes.

Big Ben deliberately looked left and right, and did not dare to make eye contact with Ye Si.

Secretly, he secretly gave Bowen a thumbs up.

I think this kid has a good understanding, and he must be another fierce general of the Celtics in the future!

"Don't listen to Ben's nonsense, you really need to be tough to play, but there is no need to take the initiative to cause trouble."

"Winning is ultimately a matter of strength, and other means are just a way to deter the opponent."

"I would rather be able to beat my opponent with dignity than win with some off-set moves."

Seeing that Bowen had a tendency to develop towards the first villain in the NBA in his previous life, Yees quickly corrected his thoughts.

Bowen's desperate playing style is indeed an excellent puzzle piece for the championship.

But yes didn't want him to target intentional injuries.

This will add flaws to your own championship path.

In Yes's opinion, it is possible to be tough or to counter the dirty tricks of the opponent.

Even stadium brawls were no problem.

But if the goal is to deliberately injure the opponent, this is not what he wants to see.

Even if you fight, you must subdue your opponent with dignity!

"Don't worry, boss!"

"I'll do whatever you say in the future!"

"Ben and I are the left and right protectors by your side, and anyone who dares to touch you needs to pass our pass!"

Seeing that Yes put on the posture of the team boss and pointed at himself, Bowen immediately climbed up the pole.

A word boss, put himself and Big Ben in the same position.

He doesn't care what he has or doesn't.

Bowen mixed with the NBA for a simple reason: to make money.

If he is poor, he will definitely hold Ye Si's thigh!

His dream is the same as Big Ben, a guy who was also drafted.

Sign an official NBA contract.

It's better to have sneaker endorsements, earn enough!

Looking at a bite of a boss, as if licking a dog's Bowen.

Ye Si also shook his head helplessly.

Got it, and accepted a little brother.

It can only be said as a lost draft.

Bowen, like Big Ben, is smart.

Knowing who is the key to staying in the NBA.

............

December 13.

Celtic face the next challenge at home.

Golden State Warriors led by "God's Left Hand" Chris Mullin.

Today's warriors are at a low ebb. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Although the team has two stars in the team, "Madman" Latriel Sprewell and "God Left-Hand" Chris Mullin.

But chaotic management and weak role players have made their record unsatisfactory.

The Warriors, currently ranked ninth in the West, are in an embarrassing situation where they can't win if they don't swing.

Such a warrior is naturally no match for the Celtics.

Yers played only two quarters and had a triple-double of 31 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists.

They led their opponents by 30 points at half-time, directly sending the game into garbage time.

With a big lead, Ball also made his Green Army debut in the second half.

Although the offensive ability is hot, the aggressive running and the same defense as the cowhide candy make the madman Sprewell irritable.

Face this former all-martial arts fight with his teammates.

Even the evil guys who want to shoot their teammates.

Bowen was undaunted.

The attitude he shows on the pitch is as if he is telling his opponent.

Either you kill me, or I will kill you!"

This made many Celtic fans impressed by this tough young man.

............

U.S. Time.

December 14.

Another big day for the fans is coming.

All-Star voting is divided into 4 rounds, with each round lasting 7 days.

The deadline for the first round of voting is 14-21 December.

In the 90s, the internet was not well developed, so fans voted by phone and letter.

However, voting was difficult.

But on the other side of the ocean is the Dragon Kingdom.

Still, countless fans took action.

Rich fans called Yees directly across the ocean to vote.

Some of the ones who don't have enough money are mailed to the NBA department by letter.

For the power of the fans of the Dragon Country, the media in the United States obviously did not prepare psychologically in advance.

Just when they thought this year's All-Star vote was no different from previous years.

The results of the first round of voting surprised countless people!

At the top of the West is Charles Barkley, who joined the Rockets this year.

0 for flowers 0

In addition to strength, his funny personality makes Barkley very popular among fans.

Second in the West is Rain Man Sean Kemp, whose pinnacle showdown with Jordan in last year's Finals gave him and Payton the Gloves a huge hit.

West 3-5 are Big Dream, Marlon, and Big Shark O'Neill!

It is worth mentioning that the top five in the Western Conference All-Star vote are all inside.

It is worthy of the 90s when top insiders walked everywhere.

And the vote on the eastern side surprised everyone.

At the top of the list was Yes, a rising star who beat basketball god Michael Jordan.

Ranked first with crushed votes.

The data of 735468 votes is more than double the number of Jordan 366546 votes in second place.

You know, the first round of voting is only 7 days.

Many letters mailed by Dragon Country fans are still across the ocean and have not been sent to the United States.

But that's it, it still allowed Yees to surpass Jordan with twice as many votes and become the first round of the vote.

It can be seen that even if there is no fan vote of the Dragon Kingdom.

Yes now has a great popularity throughout the United States.

Except for the top three, Yes, Jordan, and Grant Hill.

Pippen and Leoin the Gorilla were 4-5 in the Eastern All-Star vote.

It is worth mentioning that Iverson due to his excellent performance.

As well as the unruly personality, it attracted a large number of fans in a short period of time.

Although not in the top five of the Eastern Conference All-Star vote, it was third in the backcourt vote.

Perhaps in addition to Yees, Iverson also has hopes of completing his rookie season and being selected as an All-Star.

............

"Michael, it looks like you're going to lose the All-Star vote again this year!"

"After two years of retirement, your popularity has dropped a lot!"

Chicago, United States.

Pippen walked up to Jordan, who was changing his shoes and preparing for training, and said with a smile.

Last year, Jordan's narrow 10,000-vote loss to Grant Hill in the All-Star vote surprised everyone.

But after all, it is understandable that he retired for two years and came back, and his popularity did not return to his peak.

But this year, Jordan just won the championship, and it was the time of the limelight.

In the first round of voting, not only lost to Yes, but also the gap in the number of votes was huge.

This is not ordinary.

What does it illustrate?

Yes is not only in strength, but also threatens the position of the first man in the alliance.

In terms of popularity, it is the first to form a crush!

This is the first time this has happened since Jordan won his first championship and reached the top of the league.

"Hmph, this is only the first round of voting!"

"Everything could change before the final results come in."

Jordan listened to Pippen's words, and his face became gloomy.

He is very competitive and does not want to be second at any time.

Including on the All-Star vote.

Especially this guy Ye Si, not only snatched his best of the week and the best of the month.

Now even the All-Star ticket winner has to be snatched away?

Jordan got up after putting on his shoes, picked up the basketball and prepared for training.

But as he walked onto the pitch, his icy voice came: "At the end of this month, we will play against Celtic!" "

"When I beat Yes hard, I believe the fans will understand who to vote for!"

Obviously, as time went on, the game between the two teams was getting closer.

And Jordan is ready to crush this newcomer who threatens his status!

............

Yers didn't know what was happening in Chicago.

December 22, US time.

The Celtic team flew to Ladas.

Take on the Dallas Mavericks away!

This game is also a grudge game.

Kidd left the Mavericks precisely because of a conflict with team boss Jim Jackson.

They were simultaneously in love with rapper Braxton, who jumped twice on his feet and swam between the two.

It ended up leading to a big fight between Kidd and Jim Jackson in the locker room.

Today is Kidd's first return to Dallas against his old club.

Ye Si naturally wanted to help his teammates and let out a bad breath.

In the first quarter of the game, Kidd's nickname changed from Ki Bu Attack to Key Attack.

Under Yes's special feeding, he scored 17 points in the first quarter.

The second quarter became the stage for Big Ben to play.

This guy didn't know where he learned to talk in the trash, and when he found the opportunity, he squirted at Jim Jackson.

Jim Jackson was so furious that he almost started to do it.

However, looking at Big Ben's eager expression, thinking of his achievements in the past month, he was finally stunned.

Under the double torture of Kidd's crazy scoring and Big Ben's angry trash talk.

Before the end of the third quarter, Jim Jackson broke down and refused to play.

Of course, it didn't matter if he played, and the Celtics' lead had reached 31 points.

The game went straight into garbage time.

In the end, the Celtics won 108-81.

Kidd also took 33 points, 5 rebounds and 4 attacks, successfully revenging his old club and taking a bad breath of nine.
