The pre-match training camp continued, and everyone began to feel more and more the "cruelty" of this old man's training ability.

When it comes to activating players' defensive abilities, he said he was second and no one dared to say he was first.

And don't forget, he is very good at and knows how to use "civilian lineups" against "Starship Troopers". No one was optimistic about the Pistons back then, but what happened? The Lakers beat the Purple and Gold Army to the point of disintegration.

.If they hadn’t encountered Duncan + the super god Ginobili in the second year, they would have won two consecutive championships. The first PF in history would have to add a super god Ginobili to win in the tiebreaker.

If Larry Brown, the championship player, is given a super player who can combine both offense and defense, what's the point?

In fact, he has never coached a truly offensive and defensive star, not to mention a super giant, not an ordinary star. Starting from Denver, the first NBA team in 1976, David Thompson has also been strong in offense and weak in defense.

The only two first-team appearances in his career were won under the guidance of Larry Brown. Dan Thayer spent his most glorious years in the ABA, and among all his honors in the NBA, he only had one poor All-Star appearance.

Starting, this was something that Larry Brown only got after he came. After that, he never received any NBA honors. He can be called a "data brush" of the year. His style of play was completely performance-oriented. This is also the reason why ABA

It is a common problem among players that their style of play is too "SHOW". Even the biggest star of the ABA, "Dr. J" Julius Erving, is somewhat unavoidable in this aspect. It was not until the arrival of a "black, tough and rough" player like Moses Malone that he had a taste of success.

A great feeling. Of course, he won two championships in the ABA. Unfortunately, this gold content has not been recognized by most.

It was the same during the Nets era. Ray Williams was just a reluctant quasi-All-Star. He was good if he could take care of his scoring. He didn't have any honors in his career. Buck Williams was pretty good, but when Larry Brown was there

He was still a rookie, and after five or six years of absence, he grew up and entered the All-Defensive Team. As for the Spurs from 1988 to 1991, I was even more speechless. The team in the first year was a piece of shit. The most powerful player in the shit lineup was only one threat.

Leigh Anderson and Ervin Robertson were good at defense but couldn't score, until David Robinson came in the second year. Unfortunately, Robinson had a big problem. He liked to slump for no reason. For example, in the first playoffs and the Trail Blazers

In the tiebreaker of the team's Western Conference semifinals, Robinson actually made only 7 of 21 shots, surrendering a 33.3% shooting percentage. I don't know why the free throws were soft, leaving only 50%. You have to know, he was on the court in the last round.

He averaged almost 28 points, and his shooting percentage was close to 60%! And this was not his worst performance. In this series, he even surrendered a 27.3% shooting rate and 9 points in a single game. The same is true for the next year.

The same, scoring less and less each game, the key is not to stand out, the team was killed in the first round. As for the Pacers, Miller is obviously offensive and defensive, his attitude is OK, but his ability is really limited. 76

This is even more true for the Chinese team. The core of the team, Iverson, is really poor in defense. Even if he is the leader in steals, there is nothing he can do without steals. With his size, it is common for Yan Quan to shoot over the head and pass the ball. The Pistons

There is nothing more to say. Almost all players are better at defense than offense, and at most they are just star players. Of course, you can call Ben Wallace a defensive superstar and an offensive water cooler.

Not to mention the Hornets, there is nothing to talk about. Jordan's goal is just to make the team taste the playoffs for the first time.

There is no other extravagant hope for that lineup. The ordinary All-Stars have come to an end.

So to break it down, the only offensive and defensive star that Larry Brown has ever had is David Robinson, who was also the first- and second-year rookie "The Admiral". In addition, the "Admiral" likes the playoffs.

He was speechless and choked up. Therefore, it can be said that Tang Qian is the first offensive and defensive star who has truly broken away from the rookie era in his more than 20 years of coaching. Or an offensive and defensive superstar.

The current No. 29 is worthy of the title of superstar, and he will not feel uncomfortable sitting up at all.

The domestic Asian Championships are about to start. The national team won 3 out of 3 games in the group stage. In the first game, they beat Singapore by 91-42 with nearly 50 points. In the second game, they narrowly defeated South Korea 76-73. In the third game, they defeated Jordan by almost 20 points. It looks like a complete victory.

The winning line is, but the only truly strong team in this group is South Korea. That’s it, we almost lost. I don’t know what to be happy about or brag about.

Yi Jianlian talked about this issue in an interview, asking the players not to be blinded by the current victory, but to play steadily and win every game. However, his prestige in the national team is indeed not high, far lower than it was back then.

In the Yao Ming era, many young players turned a deaf ear to his words, boasted about them on their personal scarves, and looked high-spirited in interviews. But in fact, they had forgotten that if it weren’t for the Korean team’s poor performance in the end

, missed three consecutive points, in fact, their group stage record will now become 2 wins and 1 loss.

Yi Jianlian's worries are not groundless.

Besides, this Asian Championship is still the home court of the national team, and they beat South Korea by 3 points. There is really nothing to be happy about.

On the contrary, the sense of crisis should be stronger.

On the other side of the ocean, because the new season is about to start, previews and various predictions are starting to fly all over the sky. The most anticipated thing is ESPN's player rankings for this season, which is also a must-see before the game every year. This time ESPN has learned its lesson.

, ranking No. 29 of the Lakers among the top ten this season. The first place is still LeBron James. This is normal. He won his third ring last season. He would not be ranked first if he did not

Maybe, okay, so what if he didn't get it? Didn't ESPN put him first in the original time and space? This is unbeatable. The second place is Anthony Davis. I don't know if it's just a matter of brains.

It’s not easy, how dare you rank like this? No wonder the voices of Yuan Shikong are constantly scolding them. No matter how strong Brother Big Eyebrow is, he won’t be ranked second this season. What do you want the others to think? The third is Durant, the third

The fourth is Curry, the fifth is Harden, the sixth is Paul, the seventh is Westbrook, the eighth is Leonard, the ninth is Griffin, and the tenth is Tang Qian.

Of course, it is already much higher than last year. After all, Tang Qian was only ranked 31st last year. It seems to be very "merciful" this year. Last year, he was even lower than Bosh, who was on the same team. But ESPN also ranked him 31st.

They gave their own explanation. They felt that Tang Qian's body was not "resistant enough". Oriental players would basically have various problems starting from the fourth or fifth season. This was really said with both nose and eyes.

Tang Qian almost believed it.

But when you think about how they could rank Rose, who had not played a single game, in the top ten and one year above Kobe, you will know how ridiculous this so-called reason is. However, Kobe completed two consecutive championships that year.

They have never reached the first place in the league rankings, and are basically outside the top five. You will know how "unreliable" this list is. They treat players they don't like very "badly" and use all kinds of excuses.

All can be found.

Naturally, Tang Qian's ranking was criticized by many people. Kobe Bryant tweeted:

Another conspiracy against Lakers players? I'm really surprised. Come on! Use action to swell their faces!

Barkley also said: ESPN probably wants to make a comeback, betting that Tang Qian will "hit the wall" or be "injured" this year.

Mourning said: Fortunately we didn’t engage in this kind of thing in that era, otherwise, I don’t think Michael would be able to get over it.

Kate Marin, a well-known reporter from T.N.T., also tweeted: Are you telling lies with your eyes open? ESPN’s subscription numbers are getting lower year by year. This is not unfounded. Their era and glory are about to come to an end.

.

"Magic" said in an interview: He thinks Lakers No. 29 is the top three or at least top five player in the league this season.

"Yang Shaoxia" posted: The annual brain-dead ranking has started again! This year's perm will make your eyes explode! A bunch of idiots!!!

FOX Sports reporter Abby Hornacek quoted Tang Qian’s tweet:

These.violes.have.violent.ends.

This cruel joy will eventually end in cruelty.

Tang Qian himself was also interviewed at the media open day of the team training camp and said:

Top ten? Not bad, isn't it? I was only thirty-one last season! But I will also try the people in front of me to see if I can defeat them, otherwise I won't be in the top ten.

Isn't it stable? As a player, you always have to advance bravely. I believe that the nine people in front of me will be happy to accept my challenge. We are all professional players.

As soon as these words came out, many people were happy. Watching the excitement is not too big a deal. Among the top nine players, none of them could escape the interview video posted by netizen Aite Tangqian. Some of them also spoke quickly,

For example, Westbrook, who is ranked seventh, said, this is a stupid ranking! I don't think Feng should be ranked behind me! He is a very strong player, and I think he is the number one insider in the league!

Brother Nongmei is the least senior among these people, and he is also the one who has been criticized the most. After all, he has only played for 3 years. He has won some personal honors, but his performance in leading the team is very poor, and his personal statistics are not that good.

Eye-catching. You said that his PER efficiency value last season was high, which is good. It exceeded 30, but can it be compared with the Lakers' No. 29?

It’s not that far off, isn’t it?

Tang Qian's PER last season set a historical record, firmly ranking first.

Of course, this is because the official statistics of Zhang Dashuai's generation did not include block data and steal data. Otherwise, he would definitely have more than that PER. Although, it is already very high. But this time Tang Qian took advantage of the times and sat on the

The first throne.

So when he was not as good as Tang Qian in everything, Brother Nongmei was a little panicked. He still remembered the brutal performance of the Oriental center last season, and when he faced him, he was like a little rabbit. Don't give me artificial highs like PER.

He is a professional player, so he doesn't take it seriously at all. He only knows that he is facing the Lakers No. 29, and he feels uncomfortable every time. Fortunately, Brother Nongmei can play between the 4th and 5th positions, so he

I often go to position 4, which can avoid the whole direct conflict.

Besides, so what if PER is calculated? Is it okay if I am number one in history? You are pushing me into a pit of fire, you guys!

Damn ESPN, can't they let me swap places with him? Second, how much do you want to flatter me?

Anthony Davis actually did not have Tang Qian's intervention in the original time and space. Many people did not understand that he was placed in this position. The PER is high. But can the PER be used as a meal? Can it be recorded in the game data?

If not, it is just a reference data. Brother Big Eyebrow's data last season is still only that much. There will be no change.

Besides, he is not James, and his PER is simply high, which has no added effect on his leadership.

So after being questioned by countless people on Twitter, "Brother Nongmei" couldn't sit still. He also said:

I think ESPN's ranking of me is still a bit high. I will work hard to reach this height in the future, but not now.

There is no other way. There are two insiders ranked in front of Tang Qian, one Anthony Davis and one Blake Griffin. Compared with the other outside players, they have a higher probability of being "revenge hit" by Tang Qian this season.

It will be higher. That's why "Brother with Thick Eyebrows" felt so uneasy. He quickly took the initiative to speak and slap ESPN in the face, saying that he himself didn't think he should be the second player in the league this season. But, some people are so open-minded.

Liang, some people can't do it. For example, Griffin, he didn't "express" at all, as if he accepted the ranking with peace of mind.

Well, very good, Griffin, I remember, I will "discuss" with you fiercely this season.

Just wait and see.

Don't think that Tang Qian is "small-minded". This is the real sense of competition. The NBA is a business league, but it is also a competitive league. Look at the time when the "Admiral" stole Olajuwon's MVP. Olajuwon

How did he "cut" the former in the playoffs? (Actually, it can't be said to be stealing, but Olajuwon himself felt that he should be the MVP in a row, so he had to cut whoever stole him that season). As a result, Olajuwon was furious.

Zhu Wang got angry when he saw the regular season MVP winner, and directly played the great data of 35+13+5+4+1 in the playoffs! This is simply terrible! From scoring to defense to organization, everything is the first.

First, what else can you say? That series was the one in which the "Admiral" was considered by the world to have completely lost to Olajuwon. Although he also scored close to 24+11+3+2+2

data, but he was helplessly defeated by the former. At the same time, because the two were in the same position, his shooting percentage in the series was less than 45% when defended by Olajuwon, which was used as a strong reference! Come on, Robinson is a real big center.

, his career shooting percentage was close to 52%, and that season’s regular season shooting percentage was as high as 53%! As a result, when he faced Olajuwon, he collapsed and almost couldn’t get up.

In the same way, there are also how Joe "cut" Malone, how he "cut" Drexler, and how Kobe beat those who claimed to be against him. This is a kind of "competitive fighting spirit"

"Behavior" may not necessarily be good when used in other fields, but when used in competitive sports, it can actually stimulate energy and make people feel explosive.

Griffin was so confused. The original time and space were the same as the current time and space. When Tang Qian saw that he felt at ease with being in front of him, he immediately made a note of it. He would let Griffin know that doing so was a big mistake.
