The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

(In the last chapter, I saw many friends asking why the growth card was not used by Chinese people. Let me explain here. The main reason is that the time has not come. It is inevitable to use the growth card to train Chinese people. When designing this golden finger, I thought about such a plot , but now the protagonist is just a college coach, and he hasn’t made a name for himself yet, so it’s not good for him to use the only few training cards for the Chinese! The growth card can indeed raise the potential of a person to the level of a star , but growth requires a process. NCAA players are much higher than domestic players. If you change to a Chinese and use the growth card, you will choose to work hard, but your own strength is much worse, and it takes more time to grow.

In short, using a growth card for the Chinese people, cultivating strong domestic players and then sending them to the NBA will definitely have a plot, but not now. If it is written now, it will be difficult to unfold many exciting plots. )

But anyone who went to see Harvard's first game live, or watched the video of the game afterward, was silent.

They don't know how to describe this game, if they insist on finding an adjective...

asphyxia.

Almost suffocating defense.

Last season, Harvard's defense was already very strong, but compared with this season, that kind of defense seems to be playing!

In the Harvard team, there is an extra big man.

And this big man replaced Plaine last season and guarded Harvard's inside line. His defensive ability is much stronger than Plaine's!

9 blocked shots in the audience!

Harvard's inside line is like a no-fly zone. Any player who breaks into the inside line will be unable to send the basketball into the basket in front of this big man.

No one knows where Harvard found such a monster. Some discerning scouts were shocked to find that with this freshman's level, directly joining the NBA is enough for many NBA teams to use it as an inside defense. main force!

Such a player appearing in the NCAA field, or the Ivy League with the lowest level in the first division, is simply a naked bully!

What is more bullying is the outside line of Harvard.

Jeremy Lin and Plain formed an outside line of defense that is not at all easier than inside. After a season of training, the defensive style of these two people has become more sophisticated.

With Dunn on the inside and Jeremy Lin on the outside, Harvard made almost all the Ivy League teams lose their fighting spirit in just one game.

In the next few games, Harvard ended the game with a big score without any suspense. Not even a few opponents scored more than 60 points in the game, and no team scored 70 points!

And when Harvard's invincible division swept all the Ivy League teams without any suspense, the new season of NBA08-09 also began.

For this season, NBA fans have many, many expectations.

For example, whether Rose, who was selected as the No. 1 pick by the Bulls, can lead the Bulls to revive Jordan's glorious era.

For example, this season, what kind of level can the Blazers three (Roy, Durant, Aldridge) show.

For another example, what kind of powerful performance will the Great Emperor Oden, who has finally returned from injury, use to announce the coming of his era...

Well, soon enough, people saw it.

On October 28, the Sonics had their opener after being renamed the Thunder.

Oden made his debut under the spotlight, but the emperor who is about to rule the league seems not to be used to it.

He made 0 of 4 shots in the opening game, and then he sprained his foot while fighting for rebounds, and was forced to grow his legs. In the end, he scored 0 points, 5 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls in 15 minutes of appearance.

Immediately afterwards, the post-match inspection report showed that Oden, who sprained his ankle, needs to rest for two weeks.

The fans were dumbfounded.

What the hell is this?

Fortunately, this injury only requires two weeks of recuperation, rather than another season.

So, the fans waited for another two weeks in anticipation, and the great Oden took charge again.

This time, Oden was not injured again, but also hit the first point of his career.

Then, throughout the game, Oden played 16 minutes and scored a total of 3 points and 2 rebounds...

Fans: "???"

Unlike the big kills that fans imagined, Oden seems to be completely unable to adapt to the game, and he is plagued by fouls in every game.

It was not until mid-November that they finally played a highlight performance of 20+10, but it was accompanied by a super high number of fouls of 5 fouls, and the team still lost as usual.

Throughout November, Oden averaged only about 20 minutes per game, averaging 8 points and 7 rebounds per game, which is not low in terms of efficiency alone. If it is extended to 30 to 35 minutes, this data will be 14 points and 12 rebounds.

But at the same time, the ultra-high foul count of 4.5 fouls per game cannot be completely ignored.

This is not at all the same as people imagined to conquer the NBA!

What formed the bloody contrast was Durant's performance in November.

26 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2 assists!

At the beginning of the new season, Durant gave people a huge surprise!

He got stronger!

While the COSCO shot became more and more stable, Durant's breakthrough with the ball became even more lethal than Roy.

The huge height difference and the speed not inferior to the defender make him the most difficult point on the court to defend!

In just one season, Durant's average shots per game surpassed Aldridge and Roy, and ranked first in the team with an average of 18 shots per game!

Durant averaged 26 points per game, Roy averaged 21 points per game, Aldridge averaged 18 points per game, and the three could contribute 65 points per game!

Under the leadership of the three young players, the Blazers are currently ranked second in the Western Conference, second only to Kobe's Los Angeles Lakers.

Such a fantastic start made Kevin, the general manager of the Blazers, feel like sitting on pins and needles every day.

He always felt that the team owner Paul Allen looked at him obediently, which made him feel creepy.

Especially when the news came that Oden had failed game after game, Kevin became even more flustered.

Everyone knows that the Blazers can achieve the current results, who is the real credit!

And that person's name will now appear in everyone's ears from time to time.

Wang Xiao!

The Harvard he led is already an invincible division in the NCAA league!

Facts have proved that Wang Xiao has real materials, and his vision is probably better than many people.

And his ability is not only in the eyes of people.

Kevin has also watched Harvard's game video. He has to admit that Harvard's defense is very strong, very strong. It is hard to imagine that this is a team that was even at the bottom of the Ivy League a year ago.

In fact, Kevin felt that he was wronged. The decision to expel Wang Xiao was made by the boss, Paul himself. The fault is not his fault!

However, as a team owner, one of the wealthiest people in the world, Paul would not consider these issues.

He is an investor, not a professional basketball practitioner.

At that time, including Kevin, all the people in the team's management told him that Oden was the hope of the Blazers' revival. With Oden, the Blazers would win the championship trophy sooner or later.

Only one young man said that Oden can't do it, Durant should be chosen.

So now the question is, why is the player that you guys are optimistic about not as good as the player that others are optimistic about?

Although this is only the second season of Oden and Durant, it is far from the time to evaluate the value of the two.

But when enjoying the superiority of the Trail Blazers' second record in the Western Conference, will anyone forget the reason why the team can reach this position?

Don't forget the well digger when you drink water, this is a very reasonable saying.
