Chapter 409: [Magic Twin Towers, Eagle King Kobe]


After checking the NBA news in the last ten years, Guo Xu was dumbfounded again and again.
The "Earth Two" NBA League's upheaval began in 1993 when "Penny" Anfini Hardaway tore his left knee ligament in the third-year college game. Despite his all-round stats of 22 points, 8.4 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this season, the draft is still considered low because he has serious injuries and is 22 years old.
Hardaway was not selected by the Lakers until the 12th. Many players were scrapped due to ligament tears. Most teams were reluctant to take risks. Hardaway was recovering from injury and did not have body data for reference. He did not go to the Magic for trial training.
In 1993, the Magic holding the No. 1 pick disregarded other outside players. One of the "Michigan Five Tigers" was selected. Power forward Chris Webber left the team reluctantly and formed a twin tower with O'Neill.
Summer Magic also tried to trade Weber in exchange for other team's star point guard, but other teams are sitting on the floor and are unwilling to send good trading chips.
After the start of the new season, Weber's performance surprised everyone.
Weber has excellent organizational skills, can pull out shots, is good at organizing offense in high positions, and can hold the ball to break through, playing like a small forward like Pippen. He and O'Neill do not overlap, but complement each other, both offensive and defensive are inside and outside.
Head coach Brian Hill created a suitable twin tower tactic for them, like the future Spurs. O'Neal held the ball with a strong one-on-one unstoppable attack. Webber could pull out and play pick-and-roll with his outside teammates, catch the ball and shoot, hold the ball to attack, and play very flexibly. The two also often played inside stories and cooperated.
On the defensive end, O'Neill defends the penalty area, Weber can prevent pick-and-rolls, the two have a strong ability to control rebounds, making the Magic the league's top five rebounding team.
After only one season, the Magic Twin Towers led the team to the top. The regular season won the best record in the Eastern Conference, but the overall record was inferior to the Spurs. O’Neal failed to obtain the regular season MVP.
Both towers were selected for the All-Star mid-term, O'Neal can compete for the scoring title, Weber also averaged 20.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5 assists per game.
In the 1995 playoffs, the Magic swept the Celtics in the first round, the two towers offensively gorgeous.
In the second round of Magic 4 to 1 mad bull, Jordan comeback is useless. O'Neal's Bulls center Langley was almost ashamed to commit suicide. Weber also blasted Kukocci in three games. At this time, "Big Bug" Rodman had not joined, and the Bulls defense had weaknesses.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Magic eliminated the Pacers 4-2.
Inside the competition, Pacers Rick Schmidz, Dale Davis, Antonio Davis can not withstand three excellent inside. The Magic are not just two towers, they also have "Cobra" Horace Grant, their first player in the league.
In the finals, the Magic defeated the Rockets led by Olajuwon 4-2, and won the championship all the way. O'Neill became the FMVP.
In 1995, the Rockets did not play well in the regular season. With 47 wins, they ranked sixth in the West. "Dream" Olajuwon only exploded with O'Neill. After the Magic had Webber, Olajuwon had no defensive skills.
As soon as the Magic formation opened, and the stars attracted the doubles, two outside three-point shooters Nick Anderson and Denis Scott performed equally well. The two guards Brian Shaw and Scott Skiles are not too weak to be saved.
The Magic didn't sign Hardaway, and No. 1 was missing. Veteran Skiles stayed in the team and realized the championship dream.
Although the 1996 Eastern Conference Finals Magic was eliminated by the Super Bulls, the management will not be foolish enough to let O'Neill again, and he completed a contract renewal with a high salary of $ 120 million in 7 years.
The Bulls were strong in 96 and 97 years and won the attacking title twice.
In 1998, the Magic Twin Towers, who were at their peak, defeated the aging Bulls 4-2, and turned the Jazz 4-2 to win the championship.
After that, the Magic successfully defended their titles in 1999 and 2000 and established the dynasty with three consecutive championships. O'Neill won the four championships at the age of 28 and ruled the league. He won two regular season MVPs and four FMVPs.
In 2000, Weber and O’Neill had conflicts over possession, and the Magic replaced Webb with Grizzlies point guard Mike Bibby and the draft picks, and threw him to Vancouver. After emptying the salary space, they dug from the Raptors. Teddy McGrady.
The Magic's new lineup has run in for two years and won the championship last season. It is O'Neill's fifth championship. He also won two MVPs again. At this time, many people said that he has surpassed Jordan. With the same five championships, O'Neill seems to rule Stronger.
Guo Xu also looked at Hardaway's situation. He didn't partner with O'Neal. He didn't even make an All-Star selection. After joining the Lakers, his position was unclear. He was the second outside partner with Van Exel because the confrontation was poor. Severely injured again, since then all talents are floating clouds.
After the Lakers drafted Eddie Jones in 1994, Hardaway could only be the sixth man on the team. He was still playing this year, but he was only a regular role player.
The Lakers' selection of Hardaway's biggest chain reaction is that they have a lot of outside talent, and the inside is very weak. In 1996, they did not send star center Divac to the Hornets to trade No. 13 rookie Kobe.
Even so, the Hornets' general manager still sent Kobe away, and he did so, saying that there was no Kobe in the team and replaced the Eagles power forward Grant Lang, who averaged 13.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in the 1995-96 season.
The Hawks have a good lineup, with swingman Kobe, Steve Smith, point guard Much Blakelock, center Mutombo, power forward Kristen Leitner, and a few strongmen on the bench.
In the first two seasons of his career Kobe played as a substitute for Steve Smith and performed well. He won the slam dunk and was selected to the All-Star in 1998.
The Hawks performed stably in the playoffs, twice in the second round and once in the first round because of injuries.
Kobe's shots have gradually caught up with Steve Smith, and the Hawks sent them away in mid-1999, righting Kobe as the team's first core, known as "Eagle King"!
In 2001, Kobe Bryant and Mutombo led the Hawks to the finals, but lost to the Spurs 2 to 4. Kobe won the regular season MVP and became a very popular lone hero.
In the next two years, the Hawks were eliminated in the first round, but Kobe Bryant won the regular season scoring leader for three consecutive years, the first in the popular league, everyone said he was most like Jordan.
Then, regrettable things happened. This summer ~ EbookFREE.me ~ "King Eagle" Kobe was exposed in Colorado to the "Eagle County Incident", and his image was greatly damaged. Guo Xu looked at the picture, and the heroine was the ugly lady named Caitlin.
The difference is that Kobe's wife Adams-Dufferin immediately announced a divorce and separated a lot of property. When Adams met in high school, Kobe disregarded his family's objection and was engaged to Adams early on his 18th birthday. Then he married in Atlanta in 2001 and broke up with her parents for her. It is a pity that this woman seems to really fall in love with Kobe for money.
As for Vanessa, Guo Xu did not find any information on the Internet, it should be just an ordinary person.
Not long ago, Kobe also revealed a big news. When he appeared in court, he said, "Dikembe also did it."
He said that Mutumbo had taught himself in the dressing room to spend money on this kind of affair. Mutombo also did this kind of thing and used $ 1 million to shut up the woman.
Mutombo has been involved in the "Golden Club" case before, and the image is worse now. Uncle Mu rushed to the crown in anger and said in an interview that he was not familiar with Kobe. He was bullshit.
Now, the Eagles are fighting ...
