Chapter 260 The Spurs Championship, but Duncan is not No.1 in the league!
Facts have proved that offense can attract spectators, and fighting can also attract spectators, but one can attract spectators for a long time, and the other will push more spectators and players out!

At least, for David Stern, it took him nearly 30 years to change the image of the NBA from fighting, pornography, gambling and drugs to the elegant image it is now.

In turn, the NBA has become the second largest sports league in the United States, and the United States is the most influential sports event in the world.

It is impossible for him to let the NBA, which is currently undergoing global deployment, return to the darkest age 30 years ago.

It's just that in the fifth game between the two teams, the Pistons' double Wallace had various mutual sprays because of the contradictions on the defensive end.

As a result, the ratings of the fifth game recovered. After reaching the average level of the finals in previous years, David Stern felt that it was wrong to fight, but it was okay to scold each other.

Or from a certain level, the development history of the NBA in the past 30 years itself is a history of abuse. It is precisely because of various wonderful confrontations that the NBA stands out among the professional basketball leagues.

For example, the duel between Chamberlain and Bill Russell, such as the duel between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, such as the direct duel between Jordan and Isiah Thomas.

Wait, it is precisely because of these wonderful team matchups that basketball is given a different meaning in the NBA.

Therefore, David Stern welcomes scolding battles. As long as the players don't scold the audience or investors, David Stern is happy to see some wonderful matchups in the league.

Of course, it's a bit far away, let's go back to this game.

This game is the fifth game between the Spurs and the Pistons. The Spurs have now won the match point. In fact, at this time, no one will think that the Pistons can cause any major obstacles to the Spurs' championship journey!

After all, in the entire history of the NBA, no team has been able to complete a comeback after falling behind 1:3.

And this game did not exceed everyone's expectations at all. Because of the internal conflicts between the Pistons' double Wallace, this game was not as intense as the previous four games.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs had a two-point lead, and at the end of the half, the Spurs had a five-point lead.

At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs' lead further expanded to nine points.

After the fourth quarter, the Spurs' lead expanded to 13 points, and the game officially entered garbage time.

Then, after three minutes of garbage time, the Spurs hoisted their fourth championship trophy on their home court.

Duncan also won the 4th championship of his career, but what makes everyone feel a little inconsistent is that this year's Finals MVP is not Duncan.

In fact, logically speaking, as the recognized boss and leader of the Spurs, Duncan has rarely been linked to the title of the best player in the league.

Especially in the new century, after Duncan suffered a serious injury, Duncan rarely entered the top three of the season's MVP list!

This is very strange, after all, most of the time the head players of the NBA's annual championship team will be the best players in the entire NBA that season.

Such as Jordan, such as O'Neal.

Of course, there were some accidents, such as the Pistons back then, but everyone had to admit that there was a certain element of luck when the Pistons were able to win the championship.

Therefore, for Duncan, the head player of the championship team, not only is he not the best player in the active league, he is not even the final FMVP, everyone feels a little unreasonable.

In the end, the 2006-2007 NBA Finals MVP averaged 22.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 2.8 turnovers in this round of the series.

The total shooting percentage reached 48.7%, the three-point shooting percentage reached 41.2%, and the free throw percentage reached 77%. Tony Parker won the data.

To be honest, the five games of the finals, because the Pistons need to put more defensive energy on Tim Duncan.

As a result, the Spurs got a lot of offensive opportunities from the perimeter, and as the team's main player, Tony Parker frequently relied on Ginobili and Tim Duncan's offensive involvement to get a lot of short-range small throws head chance.

You know, the small throw has always been the strongest of all Tony Parker's offensive weapons.

Then, Tony Parker relied on the offensive efficiency and game performance far surpassing all the players of the entire Spurs team, and won the honor of the MVP of the 2006-2007 season against the Spurs' leading stars Tim Duncan and Ginobili.

Meanwhile, after the Spurs won another championship this year, the NBA has been completely dominated by two players for the past decade.

One is Tim Duncan of the Spurs, and the other is O'Neal who established the first dynasty since the new century and led the Heat to win the championship last year.

In the past ten years, the two won four championships respectively, and the remaining two times, one was the year when God helped the Bulls complete the establishment of the dynasty in the last year before retiring, and the Bulls finally won the final championship. champion.

The first time was hated by David Stern in the past few years. The so-called civilian team, the Pistons won a championship by relying on the conflict between the F4 of the Lakers.

So in a sense, after entering the new century, the entire NBA should belong to the era of O'Neal and Duncan, but because O'Neal established a dynasty, O'Neal's dominance in the new century may be slightly higher than that of Duncan .

At the same time, because of the terrifying championship dominance of O'Neal and Duncan, many media began to call the first decade of the new century the decade of insiders after the finals this year.

Looking at it now, with Howard in the East and Yao Ming in the West, it seems that the entire league will still be dominated by inside players in the next 4 to 5 years.

If Oden, who is running for the election this year, can really develop in the direction of his template Olajuwon as the media and people predict, it is very likely that this era of insiders ruling the NBA will continue for 5 to 6 years.

However, David. Stern will continue to let the inside rule and people?
Facts have proved that in the NBA in the post-Jordan era, under the rule of insiders, although the overall commercial value and ratings are still increasing every year, there is no way to compare with the increase in the Jordan era.

Even during the three consecutive championships of the Lakers led by O'Neal, the increase in overall ratings and average ratings was not as good as the Bulls' two dynasties under Jordan's leadership.

Of course, you can say that there is only one Jordan, but isn't there only one O'Neal?

In addition, everything is telling everyone that outside players have more commercial value.

For example, the ability to sell shoes, the ability to sell NBA peripheral products, and the four major points in the league. Although they have never led the team to win the championship as the boss, their jersey sales and sneaker sales are higher than those of insiders of the same level. Players are taller.

Therefore, at least in Stern's view, if the entire NBA wants to take another step forward under the current situation, it needs more excellent outside players to play.

Then, you can see that after this year's finals, the league began to greatly increase the promotion of outside players. For example, Tony Parker, who won the MVP title of the Spurs in this year's finals, completely overwhelmed Duncan's limelight , Some people even began to see Tony Parker as the leader of the Spurs!
French sports car, the world's number one combo guard, etc., various titles began to be placed on Tony Parker.

At the same time, David Stern also began to try his best to help. Now several excellent outside players in the league are looking for helpers.

For example, Kobe Bryant in the Lakers, for example, Paul Pierce, who was cheated by Zach Randolph last season.

In contrast, David Stern is comparable to Curry, who is touted as the next Xu Lang this year, Durant, who is considered to be the number one small forward in NBA history, and who is considered to be physically gifted. LeBron James guard Russell Westbrook, not so much!
After all, if in the last four to five years, outside players in the league have no way to break through the blockade of Yao Ming and other inside players.

Then it is difficult for these NBA outside players who entered this year to get enough attention from the coach.

After all, as long as there is no team dominated by outside players, it will win the final championship like the Bulls did back then, and even establish a dynasty.

There are not many coaches who dare to bet on building a team purely from the outside to compete for the championship.

And when the team does not use outside players as the main core players for team building, it is naturally difficult to find outside players who can compete with the four major centers and Yao Ming's level of inside players.

Although since the beginning of this century, the league has been building momentum for the four major points in the post-Jordan era, but in fact the personal achievements and honors of the four major points are obvious, and there is a big gap compared with the four major centers at that time.

After all, among the four major centers, except for the gorilla Ewing, the other three major centers have championships, and Olajuwon and O'Neal are more than one among them.

Even Ewing is also recognized as a top center with both offense and defense.

At least for now, the league needs another perimeter player like Jordan who can dominate the entire NBA era, or the NBA championship is completely monopolized by perimeter players for a period of time. Only then can the perimeter really replace O'Neal , Duncan, Yao Ming and others have become the new kings of the NBA.

In fact, in the development of the NBA in the past 30 years, every time there has been a qualitative leap, there have been extremely good outside players, such as Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan.

I have to admit that compared to outside players who are a bit boring and have a single technique and tactics, outside players are more gorgeous and attractive in terms of game performance.

And just when David Stern was racking his brains to think about how to help these top perimeter players in the league, break through the blockade of the league's top inside players such as Yao Ming, enter the stage of the finals, and compete for the final championship.

In another game, Emperor Oden showed a terrifying game performance, thus proving that the inside is the team and justice.

The game was the final of the 2007 Atlanta training camp.

The Atlanta training camp is also the latest training camp among all training camps this year.

Since last year's Atlanta training camp helped Washington's Five Tigers, as well as a series of players who participated in the training camp, win a better draft pick.

The Atlanta training camp began to make a name for itself among rookies.

Then after the Atlanta training camp opened again this year, most of the top rookies who plan to enter the NBA draft this year participated in this training camp.

Among the top rookies who are predicted to compete for the top 5 picks this year, Curry, Russell Westbrook, Oden, Mike Conley and Durant, there is no doubt that this During a training camp.

Like last year, the more top rookies, the Atlanta training camp will give a certain appearance fee.

It's just that compared to last year, this year's Atlanta training camp has a higher standard for appearance fees.

Only rookies who are predicted to enter the top ten this year will receive a certain appearance fee.

And compared to last year's generous shots against Xu Lang and Brandon Roy and others.

The appearance fee of the Atlanta training camp this year is obviously much less.

Even Curry and Russell Westbrook and other rookies who can compete for the top three picks this year only received an appearance fee of 10 US dollars.

It's understandable, after all, last year's Atlanta training camp relied on the fame of Xu Lang and others to attract more investors.

But this year's Atlanta training camp and these top rookies participating this year are in a state of mutual benefit.

Like the rules of last year's Atlanta training camp, this year's Atlanta training camp will also last for a week.

It is also for each group to fight against each other and advance continuously, and finally decide the two teams for the finals of the Atlanta training camp.

And like Xu Lang's final match against the Washington Four Tigers last year, this year's Atlanta training camp final match is also very eye-catching.

"Hello, everyone, this is TNT, and I am today's host Smith."

"Hi, everyone, I'm Charles Barkley."

"Hello, everyone, I'm Xu Lang."

"No, no, no, Xu, according to the process, I should be the one to cue you, and you don't need to introduce yourself directly."

"Oh, is that so? Well then, let me introduce you again."

"Okay, today we have invited you. The 2006 No. 2006 pick, the 2007-2006 season Rookie of the Year winner, the 2007-[-] season first defense winner, and the absolute nemesis of O'Neal in this year's playoffs, Xu~Lang~"

"Hi, yes, this is me."

"……………………"

"Uh, Xu, are you so lively in private?"

"Oh, by the way, Xu, I wonder if you have paid attention to the establishment of your organization recently?"

"Charles is still the vice president of this organization."

"Organization? About my organization? What kind of organization? I really don't know this very well."

Hearing that there was an organization related to him, Xu Lang immediately became vigilant. After all, generally speaking, such organizations that pop up suddenly will have some bad things.

"Oh, the name of the organization is Waveball.

The initiators of the organization are all fans of Xu You, and since the middle of last month, the Langqiu organization has been growing. According to unofficial statistics, the Langqiu organization has tens of thousands of members. "

"Charles was also invited to join this organization two days ago and served as the vice chairman of the organization's committee!"

To be honest, Xu Lang really didn't know that his fans had organized such a committee.

Originally, the Langqiu organization was privately organized by a few fans who liked Xu Lang more. It was a temporary group for communication and appointments. In the early days, there were only a dozen people in this organization.

Usually, we just make appointments to play basketball or go out to watch games together.

However, in mid-May, after Xu Lang was hacked out of the circle, more and more non-fan fans began to join the organization.

Some of them were little fans who were attracted by Xu Lang's appearance and singing voice.

Then, with the joining of the little fans, this organization immediately attracted a large number of fans to join, but it's hard to say whether these fans came for Xu Lang or these little fans. .

Anyway, after just over half a month now, the Langqiu organization has begun to expand rapidly.

Then the waveball organization with more and more people began to invite some commentators who were more inclined to Xu Lang in the commentary game to join the club.

Of course some opted in, some didn't, and Charles Barkley was one of those who opted in.

And because Charles Barkley was famous enough, he was given the title of vice president immediately after he joined the waveball organization.

Although it has been more than a week since he joined, Charles Barkley has not attended a single waveball organization meeting.

Charles Barkley himself just used the name of the vice president as a joke.

However, Charles Barkley would not have imagined that after Xu Lang's performance got better and better in the future and he began to rule for an era, his title of vice president would actually have some effect.

The topic is a bit far away now, back to the Atlanta training camp finals.

After a week of fighting, a total of two teams with a total of 22 players finally entered the final.

The 22 players are divided into red and blue teams. The red team has Curry, Russell Westbrook, Noah and Horford as the main core.

The blue team has Oden, Mike Conley, and Durant as the main core.
