With a start of 10 wins and 5 losses, the 76ers have matched their opening performance of the 1985-86 season!
That time, they had second-year Barkley and 31-year-old Moses Malone who was still in his prime.
A better start than this. In the past 20 years, the 76ers only won the season in 1982-83.
?? 76ers fans are extremely happy now. After several years of failure, they are finally beginning to welcome success!
And, it came faster than they expected!
After 15 games, people can clearly judge that Duncan is at least in the top ten in the league when he enters the NBA. In 15 games, he averaged 23.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.
In terms of data, among all centers this season, only O'Neal, who averaged 27.4 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.6 blocks per game, and David Robinson, who averaged 24.4 points, 13.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, are better than him.
In terms of role on the court, of all the centers this season, only O'Neal is slightly better than Duncan, and Mourning is only about the same as Duncan!
Duncan has repeatedly stated that he is not a center, but 76ers fans clearly stated that Duncan is a center when conducting street interviews on TV stations or newspapers.
The reason is
Zhang Hao is here!
On November 27, at noon the day after playing the Celtics, the Lakers came to Philadelphia.
The Lakers, who started with a 13-game winning streak, came to Philadelphia, and it was a blast.
Unlike fans in Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Miami, and Boston, Philadelphia fans are extremely low-key. Even the media is very low-key. Zhang Hao was asked to be interviewed in the afternoon. When Zhang Hao came to the Wachovia Center for an interview, The local media did not ask him some intense topics. They only asked weird questions such as "Does it feel exciting to have a winning streak?", "Has your life changed after winning FMVP?"
This made Zhang Hao very puzzled.
When Duncan was asked about Zhang Hao in an interview, he also answered with his poker face that seemed to remain unchanged for thousands of years: "I still have a lot to learn from Zhang Hao. I haven't received any honors yet. You guys You shouldn't compare me to him, it's disrespectful to him."
From Duncan, to the 76ers, to the local media, to the fans everything is extremely low-key.
Anyway, as long as things related to Zhang Hao are mentioned, everyone in the 76ers team does not want Zhang Hao to notice their two top picks.
You can compete with O'Neal, you can compete with Mourning, you can compete with David Robinson, Malone, Kemp, Vin Baker and other top insiders, even if these people are difficult to deal with, even if these people beat them 76 They might be able to go berserk when they were on the team, but they could accept it, but Zhang Hao
Iverson was only hyped by the media during his rookie year, and he spent a few words talking about it. As a result, he can no longer get rid of the name of 58, and "ordinary rookie" has become a label that cannot be removed.
Although Duncan is very fierce, so fierce that the national basketball community celebrates, they have another young player who can be compared with Zhang Hao.
But the 76ers fans are calm and rational.
Even when Zhang Hao was being interviewed and other media wanted to stir up trouble, the local media in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania would make fun of him. Even if they were hated by other media, they would admit it.
Over the past ten years, except for the 1985-86 season when they had a chance to win the championship, they have never had another chance since then. Moses Malone, Barkley, Jose Hawkins, Maurice Cheeks In the past 10 years, A large number of their stars have fled the city.
It was not easy to get Iverson and Duncan, but we had to take good care of them and create a good development environment for them.
As a city that has been a major NBA market since the 1960s, the basketball circles in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania are quite cohesive However, how can such a thing be done so perfectly?
Most of the 76ers have no problem. Duncan has been timid about his speech from the beginning, but they have Iverson
Originally, Iverson also wanted to calm down. He had nothing to do, but Duncan, his new partner, was like a good baby, and he had to take care of him.
However, Time Warner Cable Sports, which caused the trouble, deliberately brought the topic to this aspect during an exclusive interview with Iverson on the afternoon when the Lakers came to Philadelphia, and also mentioned sensitive words such as "58" and "ordinary rookie".
Then, Iverson couldn't help it anymore - "I never think that I am an ordinary player. Tim and I are the best duo in the world. We will definitely succeed. Who is the first-team center or first-team forward this year?" Got it, I can¡¯t say yet, I believe it¡¯s Tim!¡±
¡¡
¡¡
At 9:30 in the morning on November 28, Iverson arrived at the arena an hour late.
&nbThe lead between the Celtics' 16 championships and the Lakers' 12 championships is not particularly large. Before that, the Celtics had another lead over the Lakers to catch up with.
Now, Zhang Hao once again commented on the 76ers' No. 1 pick, and he was still so mean.
Zhang Hao¡¯s malice toward the young, high-ranking, well-played rookies is clearly on display!
However, compared to Iverson in his rookie year, Duncan in his rookie year is much better. Let alone his rookie year, Iverson is unlikely to surpass Duncan in his second year, or even in the next two years.
From a certain perspective, what Zhang Hao said is right. Duncan is now half a step behind O'Neal, who is probably the second best player in the league, maybe not even half a step. That means Jordan is clearly better than others. First gear.
At Duncan's level, it is impossible to say how much progress there will be, because he can really be compared with players like Larry Bird, and he can compete for the first place in the league with just one more obvious improvement. People.
With Duncan like this, public opinion generally believes that he will not be abused to the point of being unable to fight back like Iverson was in his rookie season. He has hope that he will not fall behind or even gain the upper hand in a matchup with O'Neal or Zhang Hao!
Moreover, the 76ers are no longer the 76ers last season. The 76ers have become a team that can win at least 50 games.
Zhang Hao¡¯s comments brought more attention to this game!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the Lakers?
Iverson was ignored by Zhang Hao this time. There was another clip during Zhang Hao's interview that was not as popular as Duncan's comments, but it was also quite popular.
"IversonOh, I seem to have said that when you say ordinary rookie, I can think of that ordinary player."
When Duncan entered the NBA, he gave people the impression of a good baby Yes, the kind of good baby who has a player hanging on his body and smashes the ball into the basket. He talks little, plays hard, and has almost no off-court news.
Iverson is different. He was beaten like that in his rookie year, but he still had to fight Zhang Hao, and then continued to be abused. He had the image of an unbeatable little giant.
There are also O'Neal, who was exposed as early as the preseason, who can't stand Duncan, Kenny Anderson, who is dissatisfied with the nickname "King of Cross Steps" being taken away by Iverson, and Campbell, who wants to guard O'Neal
Both teams are star-studded, and both teams are really strong. One is first in the Western Conference and the other is third in the Eastern Conference. It was an already popular game. After Iverson, an ordinary rookie, once again aroused Zhang Hao's interest, this game Attention to the competition becomes even more intense!
In addition to this, there is another very hot topic - Duncan's template is Zhang Hao.
¡°Except for not having Zhang Hao¡¯s occasionally overly flamboyant performance, Duncan is really similar to Zhang Hao in people¡¯s eyes, especially his expression
¡¡
Duncan is low-key and like a good boy, but he is also ambitious.
He wants to win the first team in his rookie season like Larry Bird and Zhang Hao.
However, currently, there are five people who are his competitors.
O¡¯Neal, David Robinson, Mourning, Zhang Hao, O¡¯Neal.
??Looking at the players coming out from the opposite side, good guys, we met two in one game!
Originally, Duncan was troubled enough by being targeted by O'Neal, but due to the inevitable competition with O'Neal, he was already praised as the "strongest No. 1 pick in history", so he had no choice but to accept it.
But being targeted by Zhang Hao is completely avoidable!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:?????????????????????????? The new No. 1 pick, who didn¡¯t say anything, but was feeling unhappy in his heart, glanced at Iverson with a resentful look after the opposing players entered the court, and ran out of the tunnel amidst the call of the DJ.
The fans at the scene who just gave the Lakers fans violent boos immediately switched to overwhelming cheers!
They have been hiding from Zhang Hao for so long. It has been almost a month since the regular season started. They have not tried to provoke Zhang Hao, but they are still being targeted.
Since they were targeted, the fans at the scene also showed their cards. They just hate Zhang Hao and hate all the evil deeds Zhang Hao did to them last season!
On the other side, Zhang Hao looked at the expressionless top pick with a small head who ran out
"Tim Duncan, 21 years old, 211 cm, 115 kg, ability evaluation 97"
"I'll wipe it!"
