[Congratulations on getting the Brent Barry template! 】
"What the hell is this?"
After drawing the Slam Dunk King template, Duan couldn't remember who Brent Barry was for a moment.
After checking the Internet, I saw Brent Barry's photo, and then I recalled that Brent Barry seemed to have been Yao Ming's teammate and played in the Rockets. Of course, judging from the timeline, there will be more In a few years.
Brent Barry, a white man can fly and has the ability to dunk from the free throw line! He is the son of super scorer and top 50 superstar Rick Barry.
Brent Barry not only inherited his father's running and jumping ability, but also inherited his father's ability to hold a urine pot, free throws and superb shooting.
He belongs to the same team as Carter and LaVine, a player who can dunk and shoot.
As a white marksman, Brent Barry's three-point shooting percentage is above 40% all year round, his mid-range shooting percentage is as high as 45%, his overall shooting percentage is also above 45%, and his true shooting percentage even exceeds 60%.
Of course, these are the statistics he produced as a role player. If he had such an excellent shooting percentage as a star player, he would have become Curry long ago.
It can only be said that as a role player, Brent Barry is an excellent championship puzzle piece.
At his peak, he averaged 10+ points per game and was qualified to be the team's starter, but he did not have the ability to become a core player.
But for Duane, Brent Barry's template is not rubbish, but it suits him very well now.
After all, after getting the Pippen template, Duan no longer lacks physical talent, only offensive skills.
Slam dunk kings usually have excellent physical fitness, but other than finishing at the basket, their offensive skills are average.
As long as Dunn doesn't draw the template of Jordan and Kobe, even drawing Wilkins and Carter will be of little use.
Although Wilkins can steal the slam dunk title from Jordan, the bad thing is that his physical talent is too outstanding.
Just rely on your body to play, and you don’t have to work hard on your skills!
This led to the fact that although Wilkins was a super scorer, his playoff record was repeatedly unable to break through the upper limit, and at most he led the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Therefore, there is a reason why Wilkins cannot enter the top 50.
The same goes for Carter. He has been a proud man since his debut and can play ball just by flying in the sky.
It wasn't until he was eliminated by Bowen one after another that he began to study his skills intensively, relying on the floor flow to maintain his health in basketball, and played for 22 seasons.
Later, Wiggins was the same. His body was too good and he couldn't bear to practice his skills hard.
When Wiggins signed Addy, McGrady invited Wiggins to attend his training camp in the summer, but Wiggins still chose to go home and fight his brother in a one-on-one duel.
It can only be said that stars with good health are basically virtuous.
Only stars like Kobe and Jimmy Butler, whose bodies are relatively good compared to ordinary NBA players, but are somewhat different from superstars and super giants, will train hard.
To paraphrase Jimmy Butler, who is the most talented player among Jordan's successors? Maddie! Who is God's favorite player? Carter! Who is the hardest working player? Kobe!
Of course, offensive skills, like physical talent, have bottlenecks.
Does James like being the middle child? Doesn't he want to be better than Jordan?
When he first joined the Heat, James spoke frankly about his ambitions - not one, not two, not three or four, not even five or six.
Once James masters shooting, at least in terms of the number of championships, he will really surpass Jordan with seven championships.
But why didn't it happen? Don't you want to?
It can only be said that shooting is also a talent and has strict bottleneck restrictions. It is indeed not something that can be achieved by just practicing.
In fact, James' three-pointer production can also rank among the top ten in history.
However, if you don’t dare to make a shot at the critical moment and you can’t make a shot, what’s the use? It’s just a flowery thing after hard training.
Having said that, although the Brent Barry template does not give Duane an overall improvement like the previous Pippen template.
But it can help Duen, improve his shooting talent, and take Duen's shooting ability to the next level.
Originally, Duan's pick-and-roll offense, transition offense, and scoring ability had yet to be tested on the big stage of the playoffs.
Now that Duane has obtained the Brent Barry template, even if his simple ball scoring skills have failed, he can return to his identity as a shooter without the ball, pick up the shooting weapon again, and help the Lakers go further in the playoffs through shooting!
In addition, Duan has been looking forward to the All-Star player template that has not been triggered until today.
"It looks like we have to wait until the All-Star Game tomorrow night."
Although Du En didn't care much about the upcoming All-Star Game, he originally just planned to advertise for Du En 1.
However, Duan can have another All-Star player template, even if he overlaps with Pippen, Eddie Jones and other templates.
It will still be somewhat helpful for the second half of the regular season, as well as the subsequent playoffs and finals.
Participating in the All-Star Weekend and getting three player templates, Du En is not without profit, but Du En is very greedy and wants to make more.
For the last one, who still holds the model of an All-Star player with his face half-covered, Du En is naturally looking forward to it even more.
Dunn is looking forward to a new explosion in the second half of the regular season, looking forward to becoming the savior of the Lakers in the playoffs and finals, and looking forward to becoming the boss of the OK group next season.
However, specific issues need to be analyzed in detail. Without the player template of the top ten superstars in history, Du En's expectations are just random thoughts.
…
On the afternoon of February 15th, the Staples Center, in a few hours, the All-Star Game will start here.
In the home team's locker room, although O'Neal was Yao Ming's substitute, he showed his style as the boss of the locker room early and began to call friends and entertain the Western All-Stars who came from afar.
“Hey bro, you’re finally here!
Come and see, everyone, this is Superman Shaq’s little Superman brother Duane!
He is the new dunk king, and he will take off at any time over the guys in the Eastern Conference in the next game! "
When O'Neal saw Duane walking into the locker room with his bag, he stood up to greet him and danced funny, making the other Western All-Star players in the locker room laugh.
It is also because of O'Neal's personality that everyone is happy to be around O'Neal.
On the contrary, Kobe was alone in the corner, with his head down and scratching his head, as if being in the locker room with O'Neal gave him a headache.
After Duan entered the locker room, he did not refuse O'Neal's kindness. He chose the cabinet next to O'Neal and put down his backpack.
Not long after, Timberwolves head coach Saunders walked into the locker room. After a few words, he took the Western Conference All-Stars out to warm up.
"Hey, Duen, can I talk to you?" Francis suddenly came up to Duen while he was warming up.
Although Du En didn't know what was going on, he had already guessed that it was most likely related to Yao Ming.
Sure enough, Francis got straight to the point: "I want to help Yao Ming become the All-Star MVP, and I need your help!"
As expected of Mr. Fu, who has always been respected by Yao Ming. He doesn't have an All-Star MVP yet, but he first wants to help Yao Ming get one.
"I know that Chinese fans respect me very much. I can get so many votes because of Chinese fans and Yao Ming.
I also know that you hope that Yao Ming can achieve more in the NBA, but this is all I can do.
KG was last year's All-Star MVP. He can't be re-elected, so he doesn't care who is the All-Star MVP.
The three of us are all starters in the Western Conference All-Stars. As long as we unite together, there is a great possibility. "
Although Francis was the starting guard for the Western Conference All-Stars before Yao Ming joined the Rockets, Francis has never been very popular in the United States.
In the past, there were only four to five million votes for All-Star voting.
But in the past two years, Francis has received at least 960,000 votes, doubling the number of votes!
Who is this because of? No need to ask!
Francis originally felt that Yao Ming was the number one pick drawn by him and was given to him by God, so he cared deeply about Yao Ming.
Now I am somewhat grateful and want to repay the Chinese fans, and I want to join forces with Du En and give Yao Ming a boost.
When Du En heard this, he naturally would not refuse: "No problem, I will feed Yao Ming the ball. Please tell Yao Ming for me."
The reason why Du En couldn't take the initiative to find Yao Ming was because of the competitive relationship between O'Neal and Yao Ming.
Although O'Neal and Yao Ming have a good relationship in private, do you want to say that O'Neal really doesn't mind that Yao Ming took his position as the starting center of the Western Conference All-Stars? That is absolutely impossible!
Before the warm-up session, O'Neal openly and secretly attracted other Western Conference All-Star players, undoubtedly hoping to pave the way for the next competition for All-Star MVP.
These days, there are actually hidden rules for regular season award selection. If the player is absent for too long, the selection will lag behind other stars of the same level and with the same data.
In the 01-02 season, O'Neal's regular season statistics were a little better than Duncan's, but he didn't compete for the regular season MVP with Duncan who had the same record because of his attendance rate.
This year is the same. After missing so many games, O'Neal can only play one game at a time, and there is no hope for the regular season MVP.
As for the subsequent finals, O'Neal knew very well that Kobe Bryant was very likely to jump out and interfere.
After much deliberation, O'Neal feels that it is more meaningful to be the MVP of the Los Angeles All-Star Game.
"Kobe wants the Finals MVP? Let him get it!"
"Dunn wants to be the boss of the Lakers? Then go and compete with Kobe!"
"Anyway, I have already renewed my big contract!
After winning a few more All-Star MVPs, regular season best lineups, championships, etc., I can sleep in comfortably.
I've already given up my position as the boss. There's no way that guy Kobe can force me to train anymore, right? "
O'Neill's wishful thinking was very shrewd, and he didn't want Francis to have other plans.
Closer to home, the All-Star Game will begin soon.
Duen also didn't expect that when he officially stepped onto the court as the starting forward in the Western Conference, the system would finally receive feedback information.
[Congratulations on your official entry into the All-Star Game during the 2004 All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles as a starting forward for the Western Conference All-Stars and winning All-Star honors! 】
[You have achieved the All-Star achievement and received an All-Star player template lottery opportunity. Do you want to draw a lottery? 】
Du En took advantage of the fact that the ball hadn't started jumping on the court yet, and silently said in his mind: "Lottery."
[Congratulations on getting the Jason Kidd template! 】
"Damn it, I can't attack you!"
After winning the Kidd template, Dunn couldn't help but glance at Kidd, who was sitting on the sidelines on the Eastern Conference All-Star bench.
Although Kidd only has a role player championship in his career, his personal ability is actually no worse than Pippen.
Kidd can do anything on the court except scoring!
Except that he can't lead the team to win the boss championship, he can lead the team to win any championship!
He also led the team to the overall runner-up. Although Kidd's personal attack ability is not outstanding, he is able to continuously transfuse blood to his teammates. It can be said to be a mobile blood bank, raising various parallel imports and ordinary starting players to quasi-All-Star levels.
On the other hand, Westbrook and Durant, who are also known for their versatility, can't win even if they smoke.
Obtaining the Kidd template is undoubtedly a big improvement for Duane.
At least Du En has acquired the most critical ability to become a leader in advance - team leadership and leadership.
After a while, after Du En digests Kidd's template, he will be able to legitimately win three pairs by his own ability, instead of having to crawl into the sewers and live a life of darkness.
But right now, Du En doesn't have time to think so much. He still needs to pass a few more balls to Yao Ming to see if he can cooperate with Francis and give Yao Ming an All-Star MVP.
It is said that the Eastern Conference All-Star center is Ben. Soon Ben and Yao Ming completed the jump ball in the center circle.
Yao Ming did not let go and used his height to move the ball to the backcourt.
Duane happened to pick up the ball and immediately passed it to Francis.
Francis is still the same, dribbling the ball across half court, changing his rhythm to break through and then go to the basket.
In the first three quarters of the All-Star game, Francis didn't guard carefully, but it was still very easy for Francis to get to the basket.
When Francis passed the ball to Yao Ming, Ben pushed Yao Ming slightly and chose to give up.
When we met in the regular season before, he was beaten like Iverson by Yao Ming. Why bother to suffer in the All-Star Game again today?
Ben no longer continued to defend, and Yao Ming did not take advantage of the situation and force the ball to the basket. Instead, he used a small hook to easily hook the ball into the basket.
After watching this round, Du En understood Ben's defensive attitude and understood that feeding Yao Ming was indeed not difficult.
If Duen considers his own assist data, he may also need to consider the timing of passing the ball, but Duen really has no interest in brushing up the data tonight.
It didn't take long for both sides to attack and defend for a round, and Du En finally got the ball in his hands.
Duen didn't call for a pick-and-roll, but with a cross step and a change of direction, he passed Carter, who didn't continue to chase, and came to the basket.
Immediately afterwards, he pushed the ball into Yao Ming's hands by pointing east and west and passing the ball without looking at anyone.
Yao Ming was also trained under Francis. Francis' passing is as weird as his breakthrough, and his teammates who often show off are numb.
However, Francis doesn't pass the ball to his teammates very much, with the slight exception being Yao Ming.
After Yao Ming received Du En's pass, he lived up to Du En's expectations and dunked directly.
In the first 6 minutes of the first quarter, Du En got the ball and passed it to Yao Ming from various angles.
Relying on the ball feeding from Duan and Francis, Yao Ming had a good meal in the first quarter. Even though he only played for more than 6 minutes, he still made 7 of 7 shots and efficiently scored 14 points and 2 rebounds.
As the official timeout appeared, Du En came to the bench with Francis, Yao Ming and others.
But at this time, O'Neal, who was about to play, took the initiative to hand Du En a towel: "Du En, I know you have a good relationship with Yao Ming.
But Shaq is your brother, and you have to help Shaq.
Shaq can pass on the title of Superman to you, or he can give you the position of team leader, but you must help Shaq win the MVP of this game! "
