NBA: The strongest physical talent, the inside is king

Wang Ke's pick-and-roll is always so solid!

Ben Gordon was also blocked by Wang Ke!

Gary Payton certainly did not choose to shoot a three-pointer directly, but relied on the rhythm to break into the inside and make a layup!

Okafor was obviously a little distracted in the pick-and-roll defense!

He didn't know whether to chase Gary Payton or continue to guard Wang Ke!

In this regard, Gary Payton beat Okafor in seconds based on experience!

5:0!

The two veterans in the Bobcats' starting lineup each scored a goal!

This made the Bobcats' opening seem particularly smooth!

"Old guys can do it!"

"We can win this game!"

On the side of the court, on the Bobcats' bench, Mutumbo said excitedly.

Mutumbo did not appear in the starting lineup, but this did not prevent him from cheering for his teammates on the bench!

It's funny to think about it. I'm so old, but I'm really a little excited this time!

Mutumbo is a magical existence in the league!

Because his age is a mystery, he was probably close to 30 years old when he entered the league!

In fact, Mutumbo was the No. 4 pick in the 91-92 class, just one class earlier than O'Neal!

But it seems that Mutumbo is a generation earlier than O'Neal!

On the court, Ben Gordon controlled the ball again and passed half court.

The game just started, and sweat appeared on his forehead!

The pressure is too great!

It is said that the playoffs are a completely different stage from the regular season!

This time Ben Gordon has experienced it!

Facing Gary Payton's aggressive defense, Ben Gordon was a little panicked!

But fortunately, Gary Payton is old, and he didn't keep being aggressive after he got the idea!

Gary Payton's physical fitness would not be able to bear it!

Gary Payton's aggressive defense just now was mainly to prevent the Bulls from playing fast!

At this time, all the players of the Bobcats were in place for defense, and the Bulls had to engage in positional warfare!

Ben Gordon chose to do it himself this time!

Originally, he planned to rely on the advantages of speed and flexibility to pass directly past Gary Payton!

But Ben Gordon soon discovered that it was not an easy task to pass past Gary Payton!

It is true that Gary Payton's physical condition has declined seriously, but his defensive experience has not been lost!

Facing a second-year player like Ben Gordon, who is still in the leveling stage, Gary Payton's experience can play a big role!

Ben Gordon tried twice in a row, but he just couldn't pass past Gary Payton!

At this moment, Ben Gordon was a little impatient with Gary Payton's defense, and directly chose a dry pull-up!

This is not a good opportunity!

"Bang!"

As expected, Ben Gordon missed the shot!

"Awesome!"

"I didn't expect Gary Payton to be so good at defense at his age!"

"Ben Gordon can't break through at all!"

"But if he keeps defending like this, Gary Payton's physical fitness won't be able to handle it!"

"I believe Gary Payton can handle it!"

In the audience, the fans of the Bobcats were all excited and started a heated discussion!

On the court, Gary Payton also smiled!

It's really hard to defend him like this all the time!

But in the Bobcats, Gary Payton doesn't need to do this!

With Wang Ke and Ben's amazing defense, Gary Payton only needs to simply [defend against the breakthrough]!

It doesn't matter if Ben Gordon breaks through, Wang Ke and Ben will teach him a lesson!

Gary Payton once again slowly controlled the ball across half court.

This time Gary Payton patted his head and signaled to play Plan C!

With a 5-point lead, what the Bobcats need to do is to further expand their lead!

And how to steadily expand the score?

Just find Wang Ke!

After Wang Ke landed at the edge of the left three-second zone, Gary Payton quickly passed the ball in!

"Bang!"

After Wang Ke received the ball and dribbled it, he immediately turned around and forced it up!

Dunk!

Okafor found that he was completely unable to resist Wang Ke before, and now it is even more so!

He is not even a match for Wang Ke!

There is no way to limit or interfere with Wang Ke's dunk!

7:0!

Wang Ke turned around and dunked Okafor!

Okafor was dunked without any temper!

Emmm...!

At this moment, Okafor also clearly felt the huge gap between him and Wang Ke!

David-Li: I know this very well! Brothers in distress!

Okafor: People who average a triple-double should not speak! Damn it!

"Beautiful!"

"Oh wow!"

Gary Payton whistled excitedly!

It's really nice to play next to Wang Ke!

Gary Payton feels that the scene at this moment is much more solid than when he was in the F4 of the Lakers!

During the F4 of the Lakers, the whole team was in the midst of intrigue!

But now in the Bobcats, that is not the case at all!

Of course, Gary Payton's own change in mentality is also an important reason!

Back in the Lakers, Gary Payton was also one of the people who made trouble!

None of the F4 is a pushover!

And at this time, Gary Payton, except for the championship, no longer has any other extra thoughts!

So, the Bobcats in these two seasons are unprecedentedly united, even the best in the league!

However, it's hard to say in a few more seasons!

As the Bobcats were established and got on track, with continuous breakthroughs in performance, and the arrival of new players and new stars, it is difficult for the team to remain as [pure] as it is now!

Everything will change!

So, cherish the present!

Go all out in this playoffs!

…

"Were we beaten so badly?"

"Damn it!"

"That's Wang Ke!"

"The player should have belonged to us!"

"He was intercepted by the Bobcats!"

"Hey——!"

At this time in Chicago, the United Center.

General Manager Gar Foreman and Chief Scout Peter Brandon were sighing constantly!

In the summer of the previous year, under the strong recommendation of Peter Brandon, Gar Foreman had already decided to use the third pick to select Wang Ke!

But he didn't expect that the Bobcats would intercept him with the second pick!

This left them with no choice but to choose Okafor!

I didn’t expect that after just one season, Wang Ke and Okafor have become worlds apart!

If I had known this, I would have traded Wang Ke even if I had emptied the entire team!

Blame the Bobcats!

Otherwise, the Bulls would have risen!
