In 1994, the Dream II team brought together a bunch of young talents.
"Rain Man' Camp and Kevin. Johnson was the best second team member of '94, and O'Neal, Coleman, Wilkins and Price were members of the third team.
Reggie Miller has been named an All-Star and has just led the Pacers to 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals and Knicks, making a name for himself! And he's the dream two scorer!
"Big Mama" Larry. Johnson was the all-Star starter and best second-team member in '93, while his teammate Mourning was named an All-Star in his rookie season, leading the Hornets to the playoffs for the first time and the Green Army to reach the semifinals!
"Thunder Gong" Malley is one of the Sun troikas, the finals to fight Jordan, and even in the Dream II team wearing Jordan's No. 9 jersey, which shows his popularity!
So, what about the 12th person?
Steve. Smith, who is 2.01 meters tall and a third-year heat guard, is the only player in Yumeji who has not played in an All-Star!
Averaging 17.3+4.5+5.7 in 1994, the technology looks comprehensive.
Why can a popular and cheesy name of an ordinary team player be selected? Why can't the madman Spreeville in the first season, Richmond in the second team, and Payton in the third team?
Because of character and pie!
Most of the members of Dream II are arrogant and untamed, bursting and boundless, and they have not studied well, and their quality is worrying, and later proved that this is true, and the American Basketball Association also noticed this when selecting people, participating in the World Series is not only a sports competition, but also an important occasion to show the style of a big country!
Although Smith has few personal honors, but the style of play is steady, calm, elegant, and the treatment of people and things is relaxed, such a well-rounded player is most suitable as a façade, and the level is not bad.
But Smith's basketball career is very awkward, between stars and good players, quasi-first-class players, perhaps the most authentic portrayal!
Let's start with his honors:
Best Rookie of 1992
1998 All-Star
Member of the 2003 championship
Members of Dream TWO and Dream Four
That's all!
The highest personal score in a single game, 41 points, is also very average.
The highest salary year was in 2003, $9.9 million, modest; contemporaries, of the same type, Alain. Houston has signed a contract for 100 million yuan!
But when Smith debuted, he was very eye-catching!
Because he was the first point guard to be more than 2 meters tall after he was a magician!
Yes, Smith's college days, it was a two-way defense!
In the heat of three years, Glenn. Rice is the main attacker and Smith is the actual organizer on the field, with 4.6, 5.6, 5.1 assists per year!
In 1992, in his rookie season, he made it to the first playoff in team history with the Heat! Against the Bulls, although the team was swept, Smith averaged 16 points per game and shot 64% from three-point range!
At the beginning of the 1995 season, he was traded to the Hawks, and for the next five years, as the Hawks' main shooting guard, he traveled to the East, and met with Jordan, Reggie Miller, Penny, Alan Houston and others every day!
In 1995, the Eagles were swept by the Pacers in the first round, with Smith averaging 19 points per game and Miller averaging 31.7 points per game!
In 1996, the eagles avenged the Pacers in the first round, losing to the Magic in the semifinals!
In 1997, the Eagles killed the Pistons in the first round and lost to the Bulls in the semifinals!
In 1998, the Hawks lost in the first round to Smith's old teammate Les led the Hornets!
In 1999, the Hawks eliminated the Pistons in the first round and were swept by the Knicks in the semifinals!
What a feeling, the Eagles of those years, is always a pseudo-strong team, "March Dragon, April Worm".
But those were Smith's brightest years!
In 1998, Smith participated in the only All-Star Game of his career, scoring 14 points in 16 minutes, how cherished this hard-won opportunity!
1998 All-Star Game, Smith dunked!
In 1999, Smith came to Portland! Together with Sabonis, Pippen, Flying Squirrel, and Rashid, the first five tigers of the Portland Predator Legion!
In that year's Western Conference Finals, he was the Blazers' number two scorer, shooting 60% from three-point range! In Game 7, he scored 18 points on 3-of-4 three-pointers, and when the Lakers reversed 15 points, it was he who broke the Blazers' scoring drought!
Oh yes, in that year's All-Star vote, he was the 8th Western Conference guard, the highest number of votes in his career.
No one doesn't like polite guys!
In 2002, he received the Sportsmanship Award
In 2003, he won the championship with the Spurs
In 2005, back to the heat, where the dream began, retired.
Smith and I wrote earlier about Alan Houston are roughly a type of player:
Not top-notch, but the playing is reasonable, the head man is calm, the tactical literacy is high, the execution is strong, and he never does anything other than ability, and the long-range stable output of the international competition breaks the joint defense, which is probably the reason why he can be selected for the dream team twice!
People who love to laugh, luck is not too bad!
