Chapter 74 On the Shoulders of Giants
Two people from the Detroit Pistons left a deep impression on Wei Xia.
One is the No. 30, an important member of Green Kai's future rebuilding of glorious members.
The other is No. 14, who faced him throughout the whole process. This person is only 185 cm, very aggressive, and has a surname that shook ancient and modern times.
His name is Eric Manney (eric �
Since he has the most peculiar surname in NBA history, he naturally has one of the most peculiar stories in NBA history.
His story is related to a strange data. In terms of strange data, NBA is not uncommon, some are real, and some are fake. In the modern era when the Internet is just starting out and inconvenient to query data, fans are easily deceived. Therefore, Iverson missed all shots and made 25 free throws, and Garnett made 123,456 data.
The reason why the data Manny casts is unique is that he cannot be copied.
He once scored too much for both teams in one game. It was not an own goal, but a statistically significant score for both teams.
In the Spectrum Arena on November 8, 1978, the 76ers played against the Nets at home. In the first half, the Nets' star Bernard King was not in shape and even suffered a technical foul. Fortunately, John Williamson and Manny were in hot hands. With 5:50 left in the third quarter, Bernard King, who was sleepwalking all over the game, was sent off again after taking a technical foul. The future King of New York could not stand it and followed Bob on the spot. "Then the fuck you let Jordan play center!" Knight fell down the chair.
Have you found the problem? Why should the referee judge the third foul?
King's teammate came forward for him, but the referee also yelled his second and third technical fouls (the magical 1970s). In the end, the 76ers struggled to win overtime. The Nets, who encountered a strange call, naturally did not give up. After the game, they filed a complaint with the NBA, demanding that the two technical fouls be cancelled and the 76ers lost directly. NBA president Larry O'Brien finalized the remaining 18 minutes of the rematch. Bernard King's third technical foul that he shouldn't have was cancelled, but the second technical foul still took effect and could not play. The rematch was arranged in the next time the 76ers played against the Nets at home.
During this period, the 76ers made a deal with the Nets.
That's right, the protagonist of the story, Manny, was sent to the 76ers and scored in the rematch between the two teams, thus becoming Michael Jordan's height of "no ancient people in front and no comers in behind" - a game scored for both teams.
The "Living Legend" stood in front of him, and his tough defense made Wei Xia almost make a mistake.
The limitations for dribbling in the 1970s were much stricter than those of his time. Fortunately, he has mastered retro ball control skills since he was a child. In addition, Thompson also had the skills to play point guards, so protecting the ball is not a problem.
"Don't let him score, Eric! Don't let him succeed! Fuck him to death! Iceman is the most awesome! David, you can't do it! You really can't do it!"
M.L. Carl, who was beyond the meter, shouted loudly.
Now Wei Xia knows why he has so deep impression of Carl. His endless verbal skills remind him of his best friend, Li Zhongxian.
Manny was not affected, so he could defend as much as he should.
Wei Xia, who had gained the body of a beast, had just had three consecutive dunks, which made the Pistons crowd the basket. The team's No. 1 center in history, Rannier, even looked like a Husky pretending to be a wolf, as if he was about to open a scoop on his head when he entered the basket again.
Weisha from the modern era integrated his skills, Haflicke and Thompson's skills, and Manny's defense was shaken by fake moves.
The moment the opponent jumped up, images of Kobe and Jordan flashed into Wei Xia's mind.
He imitated two Thompson juniors, jumped up when Manning couldn't hold back the center of gravity, and gently touched the opponent's body. Manning, who violated the opponent's cylinder, was called a foul. Wei Xia jumped into the air. For the first time, he discovered that a person who jumped vertically up to one meter, and the scene he saw was like this.
Thompson's muscle memory allowed him to deliver the ball accurately to the basket.
The feel of the ball was even more refreshing than when Angela Baby was molested by him - well, he admitted that he felt something at the time, but he still couldn't accept losing his virility in an indecent woman.
Swish!
"'Skywalkers have scored 8 points in a row! The Nuggets seem to be determined to win the scoring champion!"
"He currently has 0.2 points behind the Iceman's average score per game. If it is converted into games, he needs to score 17 more points than the Iceman tonight to be able to lock in the scoring champion."
Ranniel doesn't want Thompson to score points on them to ensure the scoring title become the subject of the game.
What he cares about is victory, and he believes Thompson is the same.
Ranniel took the ball at a low post without any airs. What he was most memorable about was actually not his talent, but his tall body and strong thighs.
The strong thighs looked like thick steel bars, containing terrible power. They attacked three times in a row at low posts, once to support teammates to score and once to score directly. This was the third time he launched an attack from the low post.
Dan Issel, who was defending him, was much worse from the height and was raised high and scored.
"David, call back!" Issel shouted at Weisha.
Wei Xia nodded, he was no longer as excited about Thompson's physical fitness as before.
Because he needs to compete for the scoring king. Since he wants to win the scoring king, dunking alone is not enough. He needs more shooting and layups, which is an easy scoring.
Carl continued to speak out and interfere: "David, admit that you can't do it. The scoring king is not good at you. You can't get it. He doesn't belong to you. The 'Iceman' is the fucking person on this field who can put the ball into the basket!"
"Has he always been like this?"
Weisha asked Manny.
"Don't you know him yet?" Manny's tone sounded very good with Thompson, "It's always been."
He friendlyly confirmed Carl's temperament, but then unfriendly gave Wei Xia a elbow.
Wei Xia held the ball with one hand. Skywalker not only has outstanding physical fitness, but also has a big palm. In reality, he never knew what it would be like to catch the ball with one hand.
Teammates stood around and the game became his one-man game.
Wei Xia probably got the biggest privilege a basketball player could get on the court, and strangely, he wasn't happy at all.
He once thought he would be happy, but he was unhappy. He didn't like playing games with four people alone.
Wei Xia turned around beautifully, rolled up the cheers of the Motor City, and was so fast that he could not blink. He caught the Pistons' defense line and went straight to the basket to challenge the third center in the world.
Rannier, who was 216 cm long, stretched out his arm to interfere with Wei Xia's layup.
But Wei Xia was jumping to a height of one meter and dancing with her hands. Her endless imagination made him make a dreamy pull-up layup.
