Rick Mahon, the old fans don't have much impression of this player, and the younger fans have never heard of it. But if you pay attention to the BIG3 league, you must know something about this player, in the BIG3 league, he is not a player, but a head coach, he attracted everyone's attention because the first big 3 best coach winner was him. In his first year at BIG3, he coached His Team Trilogy won 10 games in the regular season and playoffs, not losing one, and eventually won the league's first championship trophy. However, the members of his team are not unknown people, but the famous Kenjan Martin and Ellington.
When Rick Mahon was still a player, the most glorious period was in the Pistons, and he was in an era when the "Bad Boys Army" swept the league, and Mahone went to the Pistons, which was really a fish. The leaders of the "Bad Boy Legion" are Bill Lambier and Thomas, but fans who really know the "Bad Boy Army" must know that the most brutal and fierce of the Pistons at that time was not these two people, but Mahone. Lambier is also fierce, but he relies more on small movements, launching actions in the shadows to attack his opponents. In addition to small actions, he is also good at fanning the flames, trying to provoke the opponent to take the lead, when Lambir wants to move, but there is no action on the other side, it is Mahone's performance time.
When things happen, Mahon is never afraid, he is always the first to rush up, he is not playing yin like Lambir, he fights with honor and integrity, and he is not merciless. Therefore, when there was a team clashing with the Pistons, the first thing they were wary of was not Lambier, but the tall Mahon. Mahone and Lambier's defense was extremely fierce, and at that time they were also named "black and white devils", you know, the physical confrontation at that time was different from now, the stadium conflict was not as simple as now, or rushed up to push and shove, they were really fighting, people who didn't know thought they signed a life and death situation. Contemporaneous players with the Bad Boys' legion know that the Pistons' strongest fighter is Mahone, who will not only give you a heavy punch, but also use flying legs to point directly at your head. Therefore, the Interior Line of the Pistons was simply a demonic land, and even a muscular man like Malone did not dare to rush into it easily. In that era when the interior was king, the outside players did not have such a high status, and there were not a large number of outside shooters, which allowed the Pistons to win the championship trophy.
Mahone and Lambier have a very good relationship, and rising star Rodman, under their "teaching", has become a fearsome interior player in the league. After retiring, Mahone also helped Lambier coach a team in the WNBA, and he also brought the Pistons' way of playing that year, that team won three championship trophies in just six years, and because of its strong defense, it was called the "bad boy army" of the WNBA. The original Pistons were the nightmare of countless league superstars, and due to their defensive intensity, there were often conflicts in the game, whether in the regular season or in the playoffs, the Pistons' bad boy army showed their strong strength. For the strength of the Bad Boy Corps, perhaps Malone's feeling is the deepest, we all know how strong Malone's physical fitness is, especially his iron elbow, which is very strong. Even so, Malone did not please them when he met them, and more often than not, he was directly stopped by their multi-person defense.
At BIG3, although Mahone is the titular manager, the players will certainly not play in his previous style. After all, they are not young, too fierce to get their hands on, but Mahone can still teach them some "small skills" so that opponents can not easily score. This year, Mahone no longer chose to coach the original championship team, he went to a brand new team. This is one of the four new teams in this year's BIG3 - the enemy, and its captain is Arenas, who was known as the "great general" at that time, and the vice captain is the misguided Odom, and this new team also has 2 players who have participated in the NBA 12-year draft, which is much younger than other teams. There was not much news about Odom in previous years, but the truth and false were mixed, and now he is back on track, and even has a new book, and at the same time, in order to participate in BIG3, he has also carried out strong physical training, returning to the best state suitable for playing, so that the body can adapt to the intensity of the game, so that many fans are also looking forward to his performance.
Agent 0 was not easy to mess with at that time, and Odom was also an inside tough guy. Now, these two tough guys have met Mahon, who is harder than them, and they don't know what kind of sparks will collide. Will Mahone continue the spirit of the Pistons, and can Mahone lead the team to the championship again? This is still very worthy of our expectation, after all, Arenas was also the top scorer in the NBA that year, ignoring the attacking distance of the three-pointer plus early celebration, so that fans deeply remember him. At BIG3, which has a four-point line, he may be able to score more easily, and with Odom's tough defense on the inside, no matter which team has to head the big head against such a combination. Of course, we want to see a more intense confrontation, but we don't want old players to be injured again.
With the will of the Bad Boy Army, Mahon led a group of retired veterans back to the game and trained with the goal of victory, a momentum that many active NBA stars also need to learn. In the new season of BIG3 competition, these forgotten veterans will once again show the strength of professional athletes in the ancient times, so as to prove themselves again and return to our vision. Let's stay tuned for this!
