Chapter 288 Farewell to Hand-check, NBA Ushers in a Great Offensive Era
Since Han Mo, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Iverson all just finished participating in the Athens Olympics in the summer, Larry Blunt approved that they do not need to participate in the first stage of the training camp and give them sufficient rest time.
However, although Larry Brown let Han Mo go, Billy King did not let him go!
At Billy King's request, Han Mo took John Stockton, who was taking the test for a fighter pilot's license, to Karl Malone's house to persuade him.
"Carl, do it for another year!"
Although Ma Long hesitated, Han Mo knew from the dodging eyes that the matter was settled.
If you can't beat it, just join, as long as you can win the championship, there is no shame in this matter!
After all, history is always written by the victors!
In addition, Billy King brought Glenn Rice back to the team with a one-year veteran's minimum salary.
Andre Miller extended his contract with the 5ers for 3500 years and 76 million.
Eric Snow renewed his contract with the 3ers for 1000 million in three years and then signed and traded with the Cavaliers. He won Cavaliers center Tony Batty and a second-round pick.
As a team that just won the championship last season, it is more rational to maintain the stability of the main lineup than to make big deals.
Point guards: Andre Miller, Jamal Crawford
Shooting guards: Allen Iverson, Kyle Korver
Small forwards: Hanmer, Glenn Rice, Trevor Ariza
Power forwards: Wang Zhizhi, Karl Malone, Derek Coleman
Centers: Yao Ming, Tony Batty
There is no doubt that these 12 people will constitute the main regular season rotation of the 76ers this year.
At the beginning of October 2004, the NBA preseason officially started!
In the five preseason games of the 76ers, although Larry Brown set up the regular starting lineup of Andre Miller, Allen Iverson, Han Mo, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming, in the actual game , except for Andre Miller and Wang Zhizhi who played more than 20 minutes, the other three starters actually just went through a cutscene.
Especially Han Mo, who played a total of 30 minutes in five games, and basically rested after playing. The 76ers ended their preseason journey with 3 wins and 2 losses.
No one cares about the preseason record, but everyone cares about the preseason penalty scale.
Because this year the NBA ushered in another rule change that will affect the trend of the NBA in the next ten years, or even 20 years!
Hand-check has been judged illegal since this season, and the NBA has ushered in a new era of NOHand-check!
What is NOHand-check?
Before 2004, Hand-check has always been a great tool for outside defenders to conduct 1v1 single defense against outside scorers!
It means that when the offensive player is playing singles with the ball, the defender can use his hands to touch the offensive player without exerting force to track the many small changes in the opponent's torso before making a series of offensive actions. These subtle changes are used to perceive in advance how the attacker will attack.
And when the hand-check is judged illegal, the defender can no longer adopt any defensive strategy of touching the torso with the arm to defend the attacker, and can only use the torso to perceive the opponent's next move.
There is no doubt that this strategy change will directly boost the NBA to enter the scoring prosperity of outside players!
When hand-check is not allowed to defend, the resistance of the offensive player will be greatly reduced when facing the frame for singles. Since the defender's hands cannot directly touch the opponent's body, the difficulty of 1V1 direct "death coiling" will be greatly increased. , a little carelessness, it will turn from a wonderful steal to a bad defensive foul!
Not only that, after being unable to touch the opponent with their hands, it will be easier for offensive players to use simple crossovers to get rid of their opponents. In the past, only crossovers at the level of Iverson and Crawford could easily shake opponents away. When NOHand- After the check is implemented, an unknown defender may easily master this stunning stunt.
After all, compared to before, the friendliness of offensive initiation is doubled now!
Does the NBA listen to basketball or the rules? Maybe neither, but to listen to money!
The slogan that the defender wins the championship has been shouted in the NBA for too many years, and countless teams have proved that this is an undeniable truth in the NBA.
But for Stern, the head of the NBA, winning the championship with defense is not a slogan that easily attracts the attention of basketball fans all over the world.
After all, the doorway in defense is too difficult for 90 percent of basketball amateurs!
Most people see a star's continuous offensive misses, and most of them will say: "This guy is really good, he feels too bad!"
And only a very small number of people will think: "The star just now had no problem attacking, but the defense on the other side is too good!"
Or more advanced: "The reason why the star made such a bad offensive choice just now was forced into such an embarrassing situation by the opponent's defensive rotation."
These things, understandable, are of course very interesting, but they are not conducive to the commercial promotion of the NBA.
Those commercial advertisers would like to see their big-name football stars score 40 points per game, often scoring 60 points, or even 70 points, 80 points, so that their sports equipment can be sold at a high price!
As a time traveler, Han Mo has seen what the NBA looks like after the implementation of NOHand-check for nearly 20 years, but when the rules of NOHand-check were actually applied to himself, he realized that he still underestimated the situation. It looks like a small transformation!
In the first game of the regular season, the Philadelphia 76ers met the Eastern upstart Miami Heat, which was praised by various experts!
Dwyane Wade showed a super good game state from the beginning of the game!
Compared with last season, Wade's advancement speed seems to be faster again!
At the beginning of the game, he broke through and hit the inside basket successfully, becoming the most beautiful boy in the game.
As for Han Mo, two offenders had already sat on the sidelines in the first 3 minutes.
The first foul occurred in the Heat's first attack in the opening game. When Wade just got the ball, Han Mo just habitually touched Wade, and the referee's whistle rang!
For the second foul, when Han Mo thought he was perfect one-on-one to steal Wade, the referee blew his whistle again.
"Damn NO hand-check! How can you defend yourself just by bragging like that?" Han Mo couldn't help complaining to Larry Brown.
Larry Brown said calmly: "Yes, starting from this game, the previous defensive methods will be reshuffled!"
