Chapter 194: Yao Ming and Kwame Brown

　　 After sweeping the Kings in the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers faced Duncan and the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.
　　 This looks like a fierce battle, but as a result, the Lakers swept the Spurs 4-0.
　　 Popovich and the Spurs have nothing to fight against.
　　 At this time, look at the phrase Porter said, "They want to hack us because we are the only team that can play against Los Angeles." It looks a little funny.
　　 Because for the league, it's really unnecessary.
　　After the Western Conference finals, old Nelson called Popovich.
　　 "Your way can't win the championship now."
　　 Old Nelson’s words almost made Popovich go down the phone line to hit someone.
　　 "No one can win them."
　　 Popovich dropped such a word to old Nelson before hanging up.
　　 Yes, no one can beat this Lakers team.
　　 Whether it is the feelings of Popovich after playing with them, or the feelings of the fans.
　　Q: What is the winning percentage from the 76ers to the Lakers?
　　 Answer: 0.
　　 This is a simple question that cannot be simpler.
　　Because the current Lakers team is too strong, strong enough to enter the NBA's strongest team.
　　 Actually, Sun Hao felt that this 76ers would have no chance of winning in front of the Lakers if it hadn't come through.
　　 The 76ers came all the way to the thrilling, not to mention, the consecutive tiebreaks consume a lot of physical energy, and Iverson is also injured. The defense they rely on for survival basically can't stop the inside and outside firepower of the OK combination.
　　 No one thinks they can win, no one even thinks they will win a game.
　　 Sun Hao and Yao Ming took time to watch the live broadcast of the finals G1.
　　 Sun Hao has watched this game in his life.
　　 However, there are two types of competitions, one is I haven't watched it, and the other is I want to watch it.
　　 This is the same with women.
　　 This classic to the history of the game, it is really too classic.
　　 Iverson scored 48 points in the finals and knocked out the OK combination by himself.
　　 O'Neal's 44 points and 20 rebounds became the most gorgeous background board. Kobe, who made 7 of 22 shots, was hacked out again after the game.
　　 You have to know that O'Neal scored 48 points and only had 28 shots, only 6 more shots than Kobe.
　　Also, Iverson's classic stride against Tyron Lue.
　　 Lu, with a question mark on his face, seemed to remember the scene when he was on the beach a year ago.
　　 A rookie named Sun Hao has done similar things to him.
　　 This is a victory for individual heroism, and a victory for fans.
　　 Because of a small man, the myth of the invincible OK combination was shattered.
　　 It gave people hope and light, and it made people have a more fanatical love for basketball. It... was finally killed by OK.
　　 Fairy tales are all deceptive, and in the face of an absolute power gap, winning the next game is already the limit.
　　 And Tyronn Lu, the boy with the dirty braids like Iverson, stuck himself to Iverson like brown candy.
　　 Know the shame and then be brave, Lu has become an absolute surprise in this series.
　　 Iverson, the only offensive weapon of the 76ers was limited, and they also lost the capital to challenge the Lakers.
　　 June 18, Los Angeles Staples Center.
　　 The 76ers launched the final charge against the Lakers, and Iverson recovered some touch and scored 33 points.
　　 Te Elon Hill, Eric Snow, and even Uncle Mu gave Iverson enough support, and the three of them scored 44 points.
　　 They are only 4 points behind the Lakers at halftime, and they want to bring the series back to Philadelphia.
　　 But the Lakers defeated them in the third quarter.
　　 O'Neal 29 points and 13 rebounds, Kobe Bryant 26 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, Fox 20 points and 6 assists, Fisher 18 points. The Lakers are enjoying the game.
　　 When the final game was fixed at 108-96, the red light on the sideline was on, and the Lakers completed two consecutive championships!
　　 After Jordan retired, they were the first team to do this.
　　 O'Neal averaged 33.0 points, 15.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.4 blocks per game. He was enjoying the crazy celebration of his teammates.
　　 Kobe, although he is still not the protagonist, but he averaged 24.6 points per game, which is a huge improvement from last year's 15.6 points.
　　 The whole city of Los Angeles was celebrating wildly, leaving only Iverson and the 76ers behind.
　　 This is the era of OK.
　　 Although, it has some imperfections.
　　 After the celebration in the arena, some fans took a picture outside the locker room.
　　 Kobe is drenched and looks like after the champagne is poured. He is holding the O'Brien Cup that many players have dreamed of, but his figure looks very lonely.
　　 Perhaps sharp-eyed fans will notice that on the night when Kobe won the championship, his parents did not come to the scene.
　　 Because Kobe insisted on marrying Vanessa, his parents have cut off contact with him.
　　 The finals came to an end. O'Neal won the FMVP again, the Lakers dynasty was born, and the 2000~2001 season finally ended.
　　 In late June, Jordan returned to Washington, and Sun Hao went to Washington with Yao Ming.
　　 Yao Ming has successively participated in the trial training of other teams, and now there is only the last one left.
　　 The Wizards holding the top pick.
　　 The time went back to the summer of 1998, when the NBA was shut down, Jordan announced his retirement, and the entire basketball circle suffered heavy losses.
　　 And it was a summer without a winner.
　　 Jordan said in his retirement speech that he has pursued basketball and he wants to spend more time with his family.
　　 But that is actually more of a momentary thought.
　　 Jordan's status determines that he can't really be at home.
　　 Actually, Jordan has been seeking a position in the team's management since he retired, and he is the kind of role that goes directly to the top.
　　 After all, he was crushed by Klaus when he was on the Bulls.
　　 He doesn't want to experience something like that again.
　　 But the problem is that most of the team’s owners are successful people. One point they know very well is that professional things should be done by professional people.
　　 Jordan is a player even if he is the of basketball.
　　 Not to mention the suggestions he made during the Bulls period, but in the end it proved not so good.
　　 So until this year, for the past two and a half years, the Wizards gave him this opportunity.
　　 However, after half a year, Jordan proved one thing, he is really not good at managing.
　　 Of course, no one's success or failure can be judged in a short time. This time the draft is very critical.
　　Whether the Wizards with the No. 1 pick will choose the next cornerstone of the team, or the No. 1 goalkeeper, or a parallel importer, it will be Joe's last look.
　　 In fact, just like the rumors, Mr. Joe has already coveted Kwame Brown.
　　 2.11 meters in height, 122 kilograms in weight, top physical talent, and big muscles different from the hands of high school students.
　　 Except for his slightly smaller hands, all you can see from him is full of talent.
　　 If you compare it with the future, he felt stronger before the draft than Howard.
　　 is stronger in his body, which seems to be able to adapt to NBA-level games quickly.
　　 In the case of Jordan's possible comeback, the inside big man he wants to find is also a very important reference factor.
　　 38-year-old Jordan has no time to wait for a genius who takes a long time to adapt to the NBA to grow up.
　　 This is also an important reason why he did not invite Yao Ming to try out.
　　 Yao Ming looks too skinny. It will take a long time to adapt to the NBA confrontation.
　　 Time back to now, at the Verizon Center Arena, the Wizards are undergoing a trial.
　　 Only four players participated in the trial training, Kwame Brown, Chandler and Yao Ming.
　　 This is also the prediction of the top three picks in the latest ESPN draft list.
　　 The dynamic and static physical tests at the beginning of the trial are the same as the original joint trial.
　　 Brown's static height and wingspan, dynamic stroke and jump are all talents visible to the naked eye.
　　In terms of physical fitness alone, he is definitely the strongest in this draft.
　　 After the basic trial, the Wizards also arranged a one-on-one.
　　 Chandler hits Brown first.
　　 Both of them are power-type insiders, and this looks like a close duel.
　　 But it turned out that Chandler was directly blown by Brown.
　　 Chandler was just a high school student at this time. His strength is relative. When he meets Brown, who is stronger than himself, his advantage disappears.
　　 Brown destroyed Chandler's defense without much skill.
　　 Conversely, Chandler is not very good at offense. When encountering Brown's tough, defensive inside line, scoring is a luxury.
　　 This time the Wizards try out not only Jordan, but also team owner Pauline.
　　 Watching Brown and Chandler's one-on-one, both of them have unconcealable smiles on their faces.
　　 Especially Pauline, there is a feeling of a chance to do it again.
　　 Speaking of the Wizards, I have to mention the 1995 NBA Draft.
　　 The Wizards at the time were still called the Washington Bullets. They had the 4th pick, but in the end they chose Rasheed Wallace instead of Garnett, who was picked by the Timberwolves with the fifth overall pick.
　　 Several years later, when Garnett became the hottest star in the league, Wallace fell to the point of being traded by the team.
　　 That also became the greatest pain in the hearts of Washingtonians.
　　 Now this pain can finally have a chance to be smoothed.
　　 A high school student who looks stronger than Garnett is right in front of them now.
　　 Chandler came off the court in a mess, followed by Yao Ming.
　　 "Dayao, don't have reservations, just blow them up, especially Brown."
　　 Before the start of the trial, Sun Hao deliberately told Yao Ming.
　　 It is very difficult to change Jordan's mind by speaking.
　　 There is only one way to change his mind, and that is to call him.
　　 Yao Ming nodded.
　　Although he has never faced Brown before, he has never been afraid of anyone.
　　The ball comes out and Brown takes the lead.
　　 Brown hit Yao Ming with his body. Yao Ming seemed to be knocked away easily.
　　 When he was about to dunk, just like when he was in Chicago, Brown got a big hat.
　　 And he was not as lucky as Curry back then, and the ball went straight out of the field.
　　 Jordan and Pauline were unconsciously stunned.
　　 Yao Ming’s reaction was a bit quick.
　　Sun Hao was also very surprised.
　　 Of course he was surprised not that Yao Ming was able to cover this risk, but Yao Ming's choice.
　　 Yao Ming obviously avoided Brown, so that the opponent didn't struggle, and then reached out to block the cover.
　　 It seems that this is not much different from the original counterpoint in Chicago, but after a closer look, the difference is big.
　　 The kind of learning ability that Jordan praised Sun Hao before was also demonstrated in Yao Ming.
　　 And Yao Ming has no system, this kind of learning ability is really precious.
　　The ball exchange, Yao Ming attacked Brown.
　　 Jordan and Pauline looked at the court again.
　　 Jordan's expression is very focused this time.
　　 As shown by the previous guidance of Sun Hao's middle distance training, Jordan is a master of basketball skills. Sun Hao can see it, and he can see it.
　　 He also knows that Brown's offensive skills are rough. He also values ​​Brown's defense.
　　 After all, he can do it himself on offense, but on defense, he is old after all, and he must be guarded by strong enough players inside.
　　 The ball was sent, Yao Ming received the ball, leaned against Brown, and turned around to make the hook.
　　 The action of the ball is very beautiful, but Brown is really not a vegetarian. Although he didn't cover Yao Ming's shot, it was enough to interfere.
　　 Yao Ming's shot also failed to score.
　　 Jordan had a relieved look on his face at this time, and he still didn't miss Brown.
　　 Yao Ming's face didn't change much. He probably didn't expect Brown to react so quickly, but he soon adjusted his mentality.
　　 Brown attacked again, this time he continued to smash Yao Ming and waited until Yao Ming was out of reach.
　　 Yao Ming’s disadvantages in confrontation have emerged, and the interference from this shot is limited.
　　 But the ball that Brown is determined to win... it turned out to be a buttery hand!
　　Small pot.
　　 Brown failed to score consecutive offenses, and the ball was exchanged again.
　　 Yao Ming received the ball again and turned straight to the free throw line and shot backwards.
　　 Jordan was stunned by this action.
　　 You are a 2.26 meter person!
　　 "Huh!"
　　 But what's even more exaggerated is that the ball turned out to be hollow.
　　 1 to 0.
　　 Yao Ming took the lead to score.
　　 Sun Hao reached out and applauded Yao Ming.
　　 Nice job!
　　 Historically, it has been said how stupid Jordan was to choose Brown, but now it seems to be somewhat of an afterthought.
　　 After all, the psychological quality is not very obvious ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In terms of talent alone, Brown is better than Chandler and Curry.
　　 This can be seen from Yao Ming's successive confrontations with these people.
　　 Yao Ming continued to catch the ball, this time he chose the hook after turning around continuously.
　　 Brown can't keep up with Yao Ming's rhythm. He feels that he is playing against a power forward rather than a power center.
　　 In the end, he didn't catch Yao Ming's shot, Yao Ming's light hook.
　　 "Huh!"
　　 With a soft touch, Yao Ming has another victory!
　　 2 to 0!
　　 Jordan's eyes seemed to change at this time.
　　 Yao Ming continued to catch the ball, this time directly after the confrontation, he borrowed a homeopathic hook.
　　 Brown can't jump up or cover it.
　　 "Huh!"
　　 3 to 0!
　　 Yao Ming's soft touch makes people feel incredible.
　　 Jordan turned around and said something to Pollin at this time, Pollin nodded.
　　The confrontation on the field quickly ended, and Brown had no choice but to face Yao Ming's offense.
　　 Same as he had beaten Chandler before, he was also cleaned up by Yao Ming, and more thoroughly.
