I am Really an Insider

At the end of October, the 03-04 season NBA opening game has been fully launched.

This year's opener is the most watched by fans, undoubtedly the world-famous Lakers F4 combination.

The four superstars of Kobe, O'Neal, Payton and Karl Malone gathered together. This is definitely a blockbuster thrown by the NBA this summer.

The opening battle is a battlefield to test whether this bomb has any power.

After going head-to-head with Wayne this afternoon, Tony Arendt specially invited Wayne to watch a short video in his dorm...No, it was to watch the NBA opener.

Fans of this era, who will miss the first performance of the Lakers F4?

After the game started, watching the touching picture quality on TV and the excited partners on the side, Wayne felt that he was instantly back to the era when he used to watch football with his friends in the school cafeteria.

No... he was back in this era.

Today's game was due to Kobe's injury and was unable to participate, so F4 ​​was one less person. But even so, it cannot reduce the popularity of this game.

But in the cheers of the fans on the TV and the small eyes that Tony Allen was expecting, the two sides froze for nearly three minutes and didn't score a goal!

After the game started, Wayne saw crazy iron, iron, and iron.

"Uh..." Wayne was speechless, this game was really a bit lax.

But there is one thing to say that the NBA's defense is really fierce at this time, and it doesn't even show weakness.

If Wayne remembers correctly, the 03-04 season was the swan song of this iron-blooded defense. Because after this season, HandCheck's defense will be cancelled.

The so-called HandCheck refers to a technique in which the hand touches the opponent's body while defending. And this defensive method is also the foundation of the iron-blooded defense in the 90s and early 21st century.

During this period, almost every team was advocating the concept of "defense can win the championship," which caused the then NBA commissioner David Stern to be a headache.

Because of the defensive game, the scene is destined to be very dull. Fans love to watch, always cool goals and amazing dunks.

Can't score a few goals in a game, who else will pay?

If this continues, the ratings of the NBA will only get worse.

So Stern made up his mind and must strongly encourage the offense. In this way, the NoHandcheck rule was born.

The new rules stipulate: If an outside player is above the free throw line, when he moves with the ball, the defending player cannot use his hand or forearm to act on the player's body with the ball, otherwise it is a foul.

This rule change has directly changed the NBA's playing style.

At the same time, it also allowed a complete rise of outside players, and the era of traditional big men was officially ended.

Yao Ming and O'Neal have almost become the last swan song of traditional insiders.

Although many fans, including Wayne, believe that the defensive NBA is better.

Confrontational sports, the most attractive part is confrontation.

But the facts have proved that after becoming "better looking", the NBA has indeed developed better and better.

Thinking about it this way, watching the Lakers and Mavericks frantically hitting iron on the TV, Wayne no longer felt bored.

This kind of defensive intensity game is really one less game.

At the same time Wayne is also fortunate that he will enter the league after the HC rule is cancelled.

Otherwise, with his current body, he was properly tortured under the HC rules to make life unable to take care of himself.

Of course, it is not easy to survive in a league without HC rules.

In the few seasons after the abolition of the HC rules, the NBA's defensive intensity is still quite strong. It was from the second decade of the 21st century that the level of confrontation began to decline.

Wayne's previous life, the basketball game in 2020 and the basketball game now look completely different.

After three minutes of fighting each other, the Lakers finally opened the game with the huge Shaq.

Seeing O'Neal hanging on the rim, Tony Allen was so excited.

In this era, Kobe hasn't been completely alone. James has just entered the league. Curry is still eating popcorn in the stands. Antetokounmpo still doesn't know what a basketball is.

At this moment, O'Neill's popularity is truly unmatched.

"Shaq is really great. The Lakers will definitely be able to win this year. What do you think? Wayne." Halfway through, Tony Allen turned around and discussed the probability of the Lakers winning the title with Wayne.

"They are indeed strong, but they are not as strong as they look. Both Payton and Malone are at the end of their careers, so..."

Before Wayne finished speaking, Payton gave the still immature "Silver Horn King" a block on the court.

I wipe and slap the scene?

The 35-year-old Payton can actually risk Dirk, who has a height advantage, so terrifying!

"Hahahaha, you see, Payton and Malone can still perform well! It's a pity that Kobe can't play, otherwise the Lakers will definitely be easier today."

"You like Kobe?"

"It's kind of, I admire his fighting spirit. I don't know what it feels like to play against a guard of his kind." Tony Allen's eyes flashed with expectations for the NBA.

Wayne shook his head.

Don't worry, brother, Kobe will definitely remember you in the NBA in the future.

There are many opportunities for you to torture each other.

"Unfortunately, Kobe and Shaq have always had a quarrel. It would be a shame if the two eventually separated. Wayne, the new season will be officially launched in a few days. Our duo also has to Just leave your name in the history of the NCAA!"

After Tony Allen finished speaking, he couldn't help squeezing Wayne's arm.

Wayne's apple slid up and down and swallowed.

What's the situation with these affectionate eyes...

When Wayne and Teacher Tony were alone in the dormitory, Sutton and his son Sean were doing the last preparation before the start of the new season-player registration.

NCAA player registration is mainly for reviewing Proposition 48.

That is, students whose scores do not meet the requirements can be trained with the team, but cannot register for official competitions.

Dwyane Wade, who was picked at the fifth overall pick in this year's NBA Draft, suffered a loss in this regard.

Although Wade is a junior, he actually only played in college for two years.

Because Wade's performance was not up to standard in his freshman year, the entire freshman year could only follow the team training and could not play.

In addition to injury factors, this incident has a great impact on Wade.

Although Wade played very well in his sophomore and junior season, but after a year of waste, Wade was only ranked 13th in the draft forecast.

Had it not been for Pat Riley's bold bet, Wade could not have been so high.

Performance review is the key to NCAA registration, and it is also the most stringent point of the association's investigation.

As for other basic data, as long as you don't write too outrageously about height and weight, generally no one cares about you.

So, when Sutton was about to submit Wayne's application form, he hesitated for a while.

"You said, Wei's height data, how much should we report?"

"2 meters 11, he doesn't seem to grow taller anymore," Shaun answered without hesitation.

"Hey, you are still too young, Sean. If you fill in 2.11 meters, other teams may send a center to defend Wayne, it will be too bad. Wayne's height, we have to fill in shorter."

After the old Sutton finished speaking, Sean looked up at his father and called himself an expert.

"So, fill in 2 meters 08?"

"2 meters 08...I think it is still a bit taller, so let's fill in a 2 meters 06."

"What!?" Xiao En was completely shocked, this wave of operation show!

Shorten Wayne five centimeters directly!

The five centimeter gap is not too small in basketball games. Wade was once known as the "short five centimeters" Jordan when he was in college.

Although this is a compliment to Wade, it also means that if Wade is five centimeters higher, people think that his strength will be stronger.

"Is this...really good?"

"What's the matter? If someone in the association really asked, we would say that he grew taller." Old Sutton smiled and happily wrote Wayne's height data.

"Tony is 1 meter 93 meters 96!"

"Lucas, please write him 1.83 meters."

"The taller one is shorter, and the shorter one is higher, perfect!"

Seeing his father frantically tampering with the height of the players and having fun, Sean shook his head.

Judging from the degree of operational proficiency, he probably did this kind of thing.

But having said that, the true height of NBA players is a mystery. Sutton's doing this is considered to be in line with the profession.

After finishing a pile of thick registration forms, Old Sutton nodded contentedly.

"Hand it over now, don't delay."

"Okay, father. You seem to be in a good mood."

"Hey, do you know when the last time the Cowboys won the league championship?"

"1995." Shaun quickly answered. He had a detailed knowledge of the team's history before joining the team as an assistant coach. Moreover, 1995 was also an extremely important year for his father.

"Yes, in 1995..." Old Sutton said, his eyes turned to the ceiling, and all those tragic years flashed past his mind.

In 1995, he led the Cowboys to the league championship and reached the top four of the March Crazy Championship in one fell swoop, winning the title of best coach.

That was the brightest moment of his coaching career!

"The next time, it will be now, Sean. I am very optimistic about our prospects for this year. This is our best opportunity to regain glory."

Old Sutton withdrew his eyes, this season's NBA will not be plain. The NCAA will also set off a **** storm.

call......"

Tony Allen's breathing became rapid, his face flushed, and his head was sweating profusely.

Before he got over, Wayne rushed over again.

"Ah!" At the moment of physical contact, Wayne couldn't help groaning, Tony Allen was really too hard.

But it doesn't matter, Wayne now has Wallace's straight-arm shot.

Stop, collect the ball, and avoid Tony's cut...

This series of procedures that should be paid attention to when facing Tony Allen, Wayne is already familiar with it.

Tony Allen saw that he didn't cut the ball right away, so he gave up the interference.

Because he knew very well that he had just missed the only opportunity to stop Wayne from scoring.

Next, Tony Allen is really 1.96 meters, and he can't interfere with Wayne at all.

Since Wayne changed his shooting style, Tony Allen has never blocked Wayne's shots.

"brush."

The basketball nets, 21 to 16, Wayne won!

Wayne and Tony Allen are now singled out, and they will no longer be unilaterally killed.

Relying on his height advantage, he has been able to play back and forth against Tony Allen who is quasi-NBA.

This means that in addition to his body, Wayne is probably at the quasi-NBA level.

Therefore, Wayne can play so easily in the previous four warm-up games.

"It won't work, it won't work, I'm going to collapse." Tony Allen waved his hand and sat directly on the ground with an expression of "please let it go".

Wayne's demand is really too great, and Tony Allen, who is physically strong, feels a little overwhelmed.

Today is the last night before the start of the NCAA season.

Originally Tony Allen wanted to take a good rest, but Wayne pulled it out.

What good things can they do when they come out? Fierce melee.

Wayne didn't want to let Mr. Tony go, but seeing that he could only be upgraded, Wayne really didn't want to continue to delay.

No way, I can only work hard for Teacher Tony for another day.

"Well, that's it for today." Seeing Tony Allen was too tired, Wayne waved his hand.

In fact, if it hadn't been for Wayne's successful promotion just because of that goal, he wouldn't just let Tony Allen go.

"The growth points have reached the requirement, will UU reading www.uukanshu.com upgrade?"

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Wayne showed a satisfied expression.

Comfortable!

Upgrade again before the start of the new season, the goal is achieved!

At the same time, at the Jingshui City International Airport, on a flight landing from Portland, two Asian faces came down, one old and one young man.

"This place is so far away, you have to transfer from Portland."

"It's normal. After all, Jingshui City is just a university town. It's normal that there is no direct flight."

"I said Director Zhang, is that kid really that great? I see the media saying it is too exaggerated. Chinese players have no precedent for success in the NCAA."

"Isn't that great? I'll know if I go to the scene tomorrow. If he can do it, the future NBA will be wonderful."

The man called "Director Zhang" smiled, but he was looking forward to this quiet water journey.
