To select the greatest stars in the NBA today, the fans of LeBron, Durant and Curry will definitely fight for your life and death immediately.
But to say that the league's most vibrant superstar today,
Kyrie Owen came out, who dared to fight with it.
First, Owen's "fairy", the only file in the league
Whether you love him or spit on him, you won't mind calling him "Ou Shenxian".
Because in the NBA, the world's most successful commercial sports league, his behavior is really difficult for everyone to accept and understand.
The first thing that made people drop their jaws was the "earth is flat" statement.
Although we all know that most black people in the United States are not highly educated. But Owen spent a year at Duke University, the world's leading university, and it was truly surprising to be able to say such things.
And when he got to the Nets, he was even more elusive:
Sage will be lit on the road to "drive away evil spirits".
In 2020, it was openly opposed to the league's rematch at Disney, and even planned to organize a league spontaneously with players as the main body.
Last season, he missed seven games for personal reasons. He claimed to be a supporter of the folk movement at the time, but was photographed dancing at his sister's life and death party.
He refused to be vaccinated this season and played only 29 games in the entire regular season. Not only did it tire Durant and gass down Harden, but it also made the Biggest Champion Favorite Nets at the beginning of the season, and finally entered the playoffs with the seventh place in the East.
And in recent years, various "strange talks" have always been on the hot search:
"The Nets have me and Durant and don't need a head coach" (shortly after Nash took office).
"Durant is the greatest key player I've ever partnered with, and I used to have to hold everything up on my own." (Obviously he partnered with the playoff history killer king for three seasons)
Before trading Harden, "the Nets currently have only me and Durant, Jordan Jr., Dinwiddie, Temple, Le Vere and six other good players. (This made Jarrett Allen, Harris, and Jeff Green in the team at the time feel so self-conscious.)
He is the "offensive museum" of today's NBA, with gorgeous dribbling, dead-end range, and all kinds of fancy moves that push the limits of human imagination.
When you watch Irving play on the court, it's the purest visual enjoyment that belongs to basketball.
However, once he left basketball, he was transformed into a strange coffee that no one could control.
Nash has been overwhelmed by him, knowing that the coach who was now sprayed by Nets fans during his playing days is recognized by the league as the "perfect teammate" who can smooth out all the thorns.
Tyrone Lou could handle LeBron, but not Irving. In 2017, Coach Lu asked him, as an organization defender, to speed up as much as possible, and his answer was "Shouldn't you go to LeBron?" ”
Stevens, the most admired young coach in recent years, is also unable to control it in the Green Army.
Except for his mentor Old K in college, no one can do anything with him, and in the end, they are all shots and scattered.
Every time he sees Owen "demonizing", the author thinks of a person.
This person can be called the biggest "god stick" in the history of the NBA.
He has thirteen rings (2 players, 11 coaches), more than The Lord of the Rings Russell,
He was jordan, shark, kobe bryant manager at his peak, but no one ever questioned his value.
Because it was he who led these legends to break through the last layer of window paper, harvested the first crown of his career, and then had the merit of the world.
He was the "Zen master" Phil Jackson.
Imagine if this wise man were standing next to Durant and Owen now, would there still be so many moths?
Second, in those years, the Zen masters got the "great immortals"
To be difficult, Owen is not a star and a half worse than the great gods that Zen masters have encountered.
Before the 1989–90 season, bull management put former assistant coach Phil Jackson in charge and began his grand coaching career.
That year, Jordan had just been eliminated by the Pistons in the playoffs for the second time.
At that time, Jordan was already a three-time scoring champion and mvp, and he could combine the top scorer and the best defensive player in a single season. Personal strength has long been recognized by the world, but the only lack of championships.
Zen master duo, while constantly calling Jordan to leave a message, stating his thoughts on the team:
"We need our teammates to integrate into the team; you have to trust your teammates more, and the Pistons rely on the team to beat us",
"You may have to reduce your playing time and the number of shots, you may have to give up the scoring champion."
While touting Jordan in public, he continued to play freely on the field:
"Michael [Jordan] is the kind of player who is different from everybody else and the fans buy tickets to see him perform."
Under this constant knocking on the side, especially the mature, stubborn and invincible Jordan of Pippen and Horace Grant, he finally accepted his outstretched hand and converted to the guidance of the Zen master and the triangular attack.
Although they lost to the Pistons again in 1990, this time they played seven games.
"Next year, next year is going to be different."
When the two broke up and went home after losing to Detroit, Jordan told the Zen master in a categorical manner.
Sure enough, in the 1990-91 season,
Jordan averaged 37.0 minutes per game, the lowest since his debut.
Averaging 31.5 points per game, the lowest since the rookie season,
53.9% shooting percentage, career highest.
This was followed by Pippen and Grant, both playing the best performances of their careers.
In the playoffs, they squashed the "Heart Demon" Pistons 4-0, and the Los Angeles Lakers who killed the Magic 4-1 in the Finals.
Thus began the immortal Bull Dynasty.
The contradiction between the Sharks and Kobe Bryant is probably the most famous infighting in NBA history.
In fact, since they won the first crown in 2000, the seeds of contradiction have been sown.
The nearly 30-year-old shark prides himself on his achievements, and after winning his first crown, he has signs of slackening, and his figure is out of shape day by day.
Bryant, who is six years younger than him, is not accustomed to his laziness and slackness, and more importantly, he never wanted to be "Pippen", and his goal has always been Jordan.
So Jackson's first half of the Lakers' coaching career has almost always been mediating between these two legendary superstars.
Until now, I don't know how much absurdity there is between the two.
It's a well-known secret that they fought in training.
O'Neal once designed a special gesture within the Lakers, and once he did it, no one was allowed to pass the ball to Kobe.
After Kobe Bryant's accident in Eagle County, a sentence of "Shaq also did it" made the relationship between the two completely fall apart.
But even so, the Zen master led them both to win the last triple crown in history in a scolding grin.
Bird, The Magician, LeBron, and Curry + Durant have not done it.
Even in the 03-04 season when they were about to break up, they still killed the San Antonio Spurs, the model of team basketball in the league.
On the weird coffee, is Owen comparable to Rodman, the flower worm?
Before coming to the Bulls, Rodman had two identities.
The first is defensive monsters.
Two championship rings, two-time defensive player, four consecutive rebounding kings, outstanding graduate of the Detroit Pistons " Rogue Defense Academy " , Bill Lambier personally passed on the big disciple.
The second is the first bastard and trouble king of the alliance.
He was late for training, fighting on the field, and ignoring all rules.
He got tattoos, dyed his hair, dressed women, drank heavily, and was a maverick.
The Pistons couldn't stand him and sent him to the Spurs.
At that time, the Spurs thought that they had found a good helper for "Admiral" Robinson, but Rodman did not look at him at all.
In the 1994–95 Western Conference Finals against the Rockets, he refused to help the admiral defend Big Dream, and in turn the General had to face both Big Dream and Horry's joint efforts. Rodman looked at the admiral and beat him violently, and said cool words:
"If it's a man, you'll get him yourself."
So in the summer of 1995, jordan's comeback, the Bulls copied him to the bottom with just a backup center Purdue.
On the first day of reporting to the bull, Rodman entered the Zen master's office and saw an Indian bull's head hanging on the wall. Both had a soft spot for Indian culture, so they chatted all afternoon. Before leaving, Rodman only threw down one sentence:
"You're not going to have a problem with me, we'll get the championship again."
Not one, but three.
In those three years, although Rodman will still fly to Las Vegas after the game, he will date Madonna, and he will make a variety of nonsense shapes that refresh the lower limit of the public.
But as long as he gets on the court, he is the king of fierce rebounding.
He grew up without a father, his mother and sister did not look up to him, and he was only exposed to basketball in high school, and he could not even get on the basket.
He was born without love, was a virgin by the age of 20, and has long felt that he is intersex, and has had more than one suicide thought.
He was 24 years old when he entered the NBA, and it was Pistons Daly coach who trained him from a no-name to a championship and top defensive expert. It also gave him the paternal love and care that he had lacked since childhood.
And in the bull, the Zen master gave him similar love.
Third, the Zen master's "god stick" means
The reason why the Zen master can get these big names and weird coffee is because he himself is not a fuel-saving lamp.
As a player in the Knicks, he caught up with the last two championships in New York City (1970, 73), he had long hands and feet, mediocre talent, but he had a fierceness.
He followed Knicks boss Walter Bretzer, with the same beard, and drove a Harley motorcycle into the arena before each game.
He was also a hippie, drinking medicine, practicing Zen Buddhism, and being out of the ordinary.
If you know the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, you know that today's young people are almost obedient and exemplary students compared to them.
After retiring from the army, he went to Puerto Rico to coach, completing the coaching of the coach in almost every league where riots and fights broke out.
What he is best at is to understand people's hearts and let the players fight for their lives without hesitation.
His unusual means include, but are not limited to:
Every season, a book is given to the players on the team and asked to read it. For Jordan was Tony Morrison's Song of Solomon, for sharks was Herman Hesse's Siddhartha, and for Bryant was Tom Watson's Montana 1948.
When he first coached the Lakers in 1999, he would lead the team to yoga at the training camp to "let you know how to master the balance."
He would light sage in the locker room to "drive away evil spirits" .
Playing this, he is much earlier than Owen.
Before the 2002 Western Conference Finals with the Kings, he would post a comparison between coach Adelman and Hitler in the locker room, calling it "We are the party of justice."
He is an elusive stick for everyone, including his own players.
"Proud First" Ron Harper, who took three championship rings with him in the Bulls and two championship rings at the Lakers, once said of him:
"He always pretended to be mysterious in order to keep us in a state of tension to deal with training and competition.
You know that for a team that's trying to win a championship, that state is important. ”
He has this magic that makes superstars trust him and play basketball that can win championships.
He relied on Jordan and OK to get eleven rings.
But remember, Jordan and OK both won their first titles after his arrival.
You could say he's the best coach in history,
It can also be that he is the biggest "bastard" and god stick in history.
But in fact, today's Irving and the Nets just need such a person to let him concentrate on basketball. Rather than always being distracted by an over-the-counter affair.
Unfortunately, now that the old man is old, he will not ask about the affairs of the jianghu when he is demobilized and returned to the field.
