Chapter 587: A handsome face of Durant (Happy New Year everyone!)
"You know that the league is a little different from before. It no longer performs its own duties, and there are more and more targeting. The defenders and forwards often misalign themselves against the inside and then use their speed to score."
Sun Hao knew that Auden was a little fragile now, so he spoke step by step.
And what he said is actually related to his own experience.
The blurring of the position on the basketball court is not only after the small ball era, but a development trend of the entire basketball.
Just like the basketball understanding that Russell, the Lord of the Rings, said before when chatting with Sun Hao, in his era, basketball performed its own duties, and anyone who did other people's work would be criticized.
However, as basketball continues to develop, the position of organizational striker began to appear.
Because the small forward is tall enough, his vision is generally better, and his strong personal offensive ability makes passing more threatening.
Next, there are double-ath guards like Iverson and Sun Hao, or shooting point guards.
The reason is similar to the forwards in the organization. The difference is that the defender's scoring explosive power is generally greater than the forwards, and the defense that can be restrained is also greater.
After that, there will be the future organizational center.
Because of height, the center is the highest and the broadest vision is also the most open.
Of course that's what happened later. Sun Hao and Oden said that there is only one purpose.
“So have you ever thought about losing weight?”
Sun Hao continued to ask.
“Losing weight will reduce my confrontation.”
Oden replied, obviously he hadn't thought about this issue, or no one hadn't asked him about it.
And his understanding is normal. The centers of this era come from the traditional center when they are trained.
"Shake is old, and there is no dominant center in this league anymore."
Sun Hao continued.
On the road of basketball development, whether there is a small ball era or not, traditional centers will gradually be eliminated by more flexible centers.
Because basketball understanding increases, basketball coaches will also target more and more.
As he said earlier, defenders and forwards played against the center, which was rare in the 1990s, but was extremely common in the 20th century.
Because the coaches no longer blindly pursue tactical systems, but start to pursue tactical efficiency.
As strong as O'Neal, he can't defend himself after he gets more weight.
The mid-range pick-and-roll invented by Popovich against O'Neal is also one of the conventional tactics for the Spurs to beat the Lakers.
"A center like Yao is the new trend in the league."
Sun Hao then gave the best example.
Although, in a sense, this example was created by him.
But the facts proved that after Yao Ming changed his style of play, he was indeed more lasting and better than what he had in history.
"Can I become a center like Yao make me better?"
Oden asked.
"Greg, I can't guarantee anything. I just said what I saw. Yao's performance was excellent. Now you are prone to losing defense due to the horizontal speed problem, which leads to many unnecessary fouls. After too many fouls, you can't stay on the court for a long time."
Just like when he suggested Yao Ming, Sun Hao did not say that Oden must lose weight. He gave him a suggestion.
Although it is slightly different from the original suggestion of Yao Ming, because it has a great tendency.
There is nothing we can do about this, after all, Oden is now his teammate.
As it turns out, China is just a hooligan when it comes to competing for the number of people!
Then, Stern was squirted...
Because the fans finally found out that they were lonely!
Sun Hao is the All-Star vote king, but those who vote cannot see him in the All-Star Game!
This is outrageous!
It turns out that there is no absolutely perfect person.
This scene was unexpected by Stern, and finally, under pressure, he called Sun Hao again.
Stern had difficulties, and Sun Hao did not make things difficult for him and agreed to come on stage.
But that sentence still hasn't changed. He won't rob Roy. Well, it should be Iverson's at this time.
Because of Sun Hao's comeback, domestic fans' attention to the NBA has returned, and Iverson squeezed Roy out at the last moment.
This is... very real.
But when you think that fans are satisfied, it turns out that they still don’t think enough.
After confirming that Sun Hao can play, the fans have another new demand: Sun Hao wants it!
Stern said, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!
This day by day is endless!
And he actually can't control it.
Sun Hao has made it clear that he doesn't want to get it like this, and the fans force him to do it, so he won't take the blame.
Stern didn't want to take the blame, and then the fans started turning their fingers to Iverson.
Someone asked Iverson to give up his position to Sun Hao on social media, and soon received support from a large number of fans.
This scene seems familiar!
When Jordan was in the 2003 All-Star Game, Carter was forced to give up his position to Jordan by fans and the outside world.
Although his hesitation seemed to have low emotional intelligence, to be honest, voluntary and forced are still two different concepts.
However, this kind of thing is actually very common in the NBA, and it happens more about jersey numbers.
For example, when a star player is traded to a new team, his number will usually follow.
At this time, unless the number is also worn by the star or has been retired, the player of the new team will most likely have to give up the number.
Some stars who are a little more good at being a good person will spend money to buy the new number, but in more cases they force the other party to give up.
Of course, whether it is the All-Star or the jersey number, these things are all scored.
This time, under the pressure of external public opinion, Iverson's choice was the same as Carter's first start.
He refused!
And he directly refused in front of the media, just as he said at the beginning that he did not respect anyone, and he refused very simply.
"This is my fans who threw me into the All-Star, which means they want to see me play, and I have no reason to give up this position."
The reasons he gave were fine.
But the fans will naturally not buy it.
Even some fans below commented bluntly:
"If it weren't for the Chinese fans who voted for you, he wouldn't be the All-Star in the end!"
This incident suddenly caused a lot of controversy.
But Iverson is not Carter, his personality label is just arrogance, and he will not compromise.
Things suddenly became a hot topic.
During the training class the next day, because the Warriors had a game at night, many reporters came to the scene.
After the training, Sun Hao was asked about this.
He couldn't help frowning after being asked.
"I didn't pay much attention to this, I'm now focusing on the Warriors' games."
His words are the truth.
Just like he guided Oden to lose weight before and then strengthened his self-confidence, that is what he is doing now.
This All-Star, he thought it would be over after the exchange with Stern.
"No problem, Sun will be, because I will give it to him!"
But as soon as Sun Hao finished speaking, a person ran out behind him.
Chapter completed!
