Chapter 49 Looking back on that 72 wins
Even though he was very sad, Kobe came over to apply for a hug with Lin Fei, "Congratulations!" Kobe is old this year. Although he is still competitive sometimes, his feelings about victory and loss have faded. He seems to be more of a pleasure in playing basketball, and he can feel his relief on the court. "Only when I see Lin Fei playing basketball, I will truly feel that I am really old." This is the first time Kobe claims to the public that he is old, and it is also thanks to Lin Fei.
The Warriors' winning streak continues again. Their record is 17 wins and 1 loss, 12 consecutive wins and 5 consecutive wins, and their results are catching up with the best 19 consecutive wins in the league.
Although Lin Fei's score has declined recently, his average score can still reach 35.8 points, far surpassing the second place in the scoring list.
Next, the Warriors can relax because there are several consecutive home courts, and there are still several weak teams in the league coming, including the Wizards, Nets, and Pistons. If they are all won, the Warriors will have another eight-game winning streak to play the best start in the league.
Now experts are analyzing the Warriors' record of 72 players in the regular season set by Jordan back then. They are making profound comparisons.
Comparison of the team's scoring champions. Jordan's score in the 1996 season was 30.4 points, while Lin Fei is currently 4 35.8 points. Perhaps Lin Fei has a little victory. However, looking at the comprehensive data, you can tell that Lin Fei is really too chill, with 1.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists, while Jordan has 6.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists. It seems that the data of the two are similar. Both of them are so similar, and both have super high hit rate. Jordan's hit rate reached 49%, while Lin Fei's hit rate is a terrifying 60%. However, Lin Fei's strongest is that his three-point shooting rate and key ball shooting rate have reached 55% and 70% respectively. Jordan is incomparable to this point, but Jordan's ability to create fouls at critical moments is definitely incomparable to Lin Fei.
Overall, the two seem to be similar. However, many invisible things cannot be reflected in the data. Jordan was the best defensive team in the league that season. It was difficult for opponents to score in front of him, while Lin Fei's defense was very poor. Even a second-rate point guard in the league could easily score 20 points on him, and it would definitely not be so easy for you to get it in front of Jordan.
If we have to compare the contribution to victory, if Jordan can get 10 points, Lin Fei can only get 9 points. Perhaps this is still fair.
Then compare the team's configuration. Among the five people in the NBA's best defensive team in the 1996 season, three were from the Bulls, Jordan and Pippenga Rodman. These three were the core of the team at that time. If they were separated, each of them had strong personal defense ability. Jordan was elected as the NBA's best defensive player in 1988; Rodman was also elected as the best defensive player twice in 1990 and 1991. The Warriors seem to have no time to become famous and win honors. In addition to Lin Fei's All-Star MVP and Best No.
Six people, there seems to be no capital to be given. Although Jobs and Aix are also considered stars, there is still a big gap in reputation and strength compared to Pippen and Rodman back then. However, the Warriors have Keynes, and this young player's ability has been recognized. Curry is the most substitute point guard and the best sixth man. The Warriors' offensive strength has increased a lot. In this way, the second team's lineup also has a competition, and they can even set the victory or defeat at 50. It's a pity that these two teams do not have the same era.
Let’s take a look at the team’s data. That season, the Bulls averaged 105.2 points, 47.8%, 92.9 points per game, and the opponent’s shooting percentage was 44.8, while the Warriors scored an incredible 129 points in the league, with a shooting percentage of 48%, and the opponent’s scored 117 points, and a shooting percentage of 47%, which seems clear at a glance. The Bulls mainly rely on defense, while the Warriors rely on unsolvable offense. With Jordan, Pippen and Rodman at the heyday, how can the Bulls’ defense be bad? The Warriors have offensive players like Lin Fei, Jobs, Aix, Keynes, and Curry, how can the offense be bad?
The rest is the coach! The Bulls' coach was Phil Jackson, and 11 championship rings seemed to be able to explain the problem easily. During the period when leading the Bulls to win the championship 6, Phil Jackson's ability was covered up by Jordan's light like Pippen. It was not until Phil Jackson led Ok to win the championship three times in the Lakers, and then led Kobe to win a two-game championship with a luxurious lineup. His ability was recognized and even passed into a myth. One thing is undoubtedly that Phil Jackson's ability to match star players is no match. He can make Jordan and Pippen the most tacit pair, and can also knead the Ok combination that is as powerful as water and fire. Phil Jackson's training of Rodman was also successful
In terms of tactics, Jackson advocates triangular offensive tactics, which he advocates, is well known. The only thing he has criticized seems to be that he will always be with superstars. On the other hand, the Warriors' head coach Nelson is still empty-handed, but he is recognized as an outstanding tactical master and innovator in the league. Many concepts are proposed by this guy, such as the concept of a ball-handling forward, maintaining the attacking tactic style of running and bombing, and the controversial "shark-cutting tactics". From this perspective, it seems that Nelson is at a loss, but the current innovation of Nelson's tactical concepts, especially the "national ball control" and "ball faster than people" styles have greatly enriched his offense and will not be inferior to Jackson back then.
For the Warriors, the biggest problem is an experience. The reason why the Bulls achieved a dynasty is that they followed the concept of defense first. At least before the Bulls, a series of tactics about defense were already quite mature. Their defense and experience are still traceable in the league. However, there seem to be few teams that started offensively and achieved a career in the league. This is why Niels has coached in the league for more than 30 years but is still empty-handed. Similarly, there are also other people who think that offensive master Adelman is the champion. Can this prove to a certain extent that only teams with good defense are the champion?
But you can never ignore this Warriors. Too many miracles have been born in them. Since Lin Fei's arrival, the Warriors have created myths one by one. Now the invincible moment makes the league even more stunned. Some people have said that no matter what miracle arises in the Warriors, no one in the league will be surprised. Even if Lin Fei wins 72, many people may just say "Oh" softly, because they seem to have already expected that this is the Warriors.
