[The miserable old age of the four great shooting guards]
The discussion rate under this keyword is higher than [Iverson does not play as a substitute]
"In the past, this league must have had the"Four Great Shooting Guards", East Ai, West Kobe, South McBeal, North Carolina, this is the memory of many people"
"Yes.
In many cases, people didn’t care about winning or losing. They just wanted to watch the"four great shooting guards" play and enjoy their brilliant goals with different styles."
"Unfortunately, with the passage of time, the era of the"four major shooting guards" will pass, and it will eventually pass.
Many of the current four major shooting guards are approaching the end of their careers. They were once brilliant and have grown old.
""God of Basketball" Jordan.
In the year of his retirement, at the age of 40, he could still score 20+ points per game and maintain his dignity.
But the"four major shooting guards" are miserable.
The first one to bear the brunt is Iverson, who never plays as a substitute. He is only 34 years old and averaged only 17.2 points per game last season, with low efficiency. He played as a substitute in 3 games for the Grizzlies this season, which is totally unacceptable. But he also fell to the point where no one wanted him to start.
Finally.
His team's hometown, the 76ers welcomed the"Son of Philadelphia" home, let him start, and gave him the last dignity.
This is also to thank Iverson for his contribution to the 76ers over the years and the honors he won.
But.
AI is old, he has been ruined by injuries, he is no longer the"96 Golden Generation", the strongest and most omnipotent unruly genius.
Now.
He is already at a disadvantage in defense, and without speed and burst, he will always be a sieve, the target of almost every opponent's list.
On the offensive end.
He lost his speed, couldn't get rid of his opponents in shooting, couldn't finish his breakthrough, and his offensive efficiency was extremely poor.
The man who could even shake off the"God of Basketball" Jordan, now it is extremely difficult for him to pass.
He used to be the absolute boss of the 76ers and the most important man for the team to win, but now as long as he is on the court, his plus-minus value must be negative. As long as he is on the court, he will definitely drag the team down.
The extremely poor performance made Iverson, who said that he would not play as a substitute under dozens of prefixes, sigh.
Black fans opened fire carnival.
True fans sighed with regret.
And another"Four Great Shooting Guards""："T-"Mac" McGrady, he is not living a satisfactory life now, even worse than Iverson.
The former Magic boss, two-time scoring champion, Rockets"Yao-McGrady combination", 35 seconds 13 points"McGrady moment" and so on.
Unlimited glory.
But under constant injuries, he gradually became mediocre, averaging only 15.1 points per game last season, with less than 40% hit rate.
This year, he played 6 games for the Rockets, averaging only a pitiful 3.2 points per game, and was directly put on the trading shelf.
No matter how well the"Yao-McGrady combination" played, how much popularity they won, and how many fans' youth they captured.
But.
Once they have no ability, they will be abandoned immediately.
This is the NBA league, just like the world of martial arts, and even the world of immortals in novels, the law of the jungle, and strength is respected.
Only if you are strong enough can you always win respect.
But who would want such a lame McGrady, who still carries the top salary in the top ten of the league?
There are really people who want him.
"The Knicks, who are known for their"foolish people and lots of coins", took McGrady.
This takeover is a bit stupid.
But the Knicks management's calculations are also good. Their purpose in taking McGrady is certainly not to be a fool to take over.
They are not interested in McGrady's current ability of averaging 3.2 points per game.
They want McGrady purely because of his popularity, and want to use the popularity accumulated by McGrady during his peak period.
To gain popularity for the Knicks.
Before McGrady is completely abandoned by the league, squeeze out his popularity and make a fortune.
On the surface, there are still teams that believe in McGrady, but in fact... McGrady has become a money-making tool for Madison Square Garden.
Tracy, the once crazy white horse and spear, has now become a money-making tool for the team to increase its popularity.
This sounds really ironic and miserable.
And"North Carolina" Carter, this"half man, half god"、"The"Flying Man of Ghana", four-time vote-winning champion, and a"dunker" who can fly into the sky and hide in the ground.
He was very successful during his time with the Raptors.
But... after being tripped repeatedly by"Dirty Dog" Bowen, he was gradually ruined by injuries. In
2004, he went to the New Jersey Nets, and formed the"New Three Musketeers" with Kidd and Richard Jefferson, aiming for the championship.
It looks very gorgeous.
In fact, when he came to the Nets, he had become the second-in-command after Kidd.
This year, he landed in the Magic and teamed up with"The Beast" Howard to once again launch an attack on the championship. It seems that he is the focus of everyone's attention. But in fact.
When he came to the Magic, he became the third-in-command. Howard was the boss, and"Mr. Billionaire" Lewis was the second-in-command of the team.
He could only be third.
The former"Four Great Shooting Guards" can only be the third-in-command after being displaced, and his data and performance are getting worse year by year.
"Carter, the"half man, half god", has also fallen.
Three of the four shooting guards were not satisfactory in their later years, and all were somewhat miserable.
Only the"Black Mamba" Kobe, he played better and better, from three consecutive championships under the"OK combination", to the"81 points" led by the team, two scoring titles, to the MVP and FMVP under the boss champion.
Kobe has all the honors.
He has reached the peak of his career, and is striving for the fifth championship, the position of"the best active player", and the era that belongs to him, the"Black Mamba"!"
"Hey... Hearing what you said, the decline of the"four major shooting guards" is really a pity. Their past was really my youth."
"East Ai is crazy about changing direction, West Kobe is the scoring champion, South McGrady shows his talent, North Carolina abuses the basket.
However... the answer is no longer shaking, and Jordan is hard to defend.
Carter is no longer the king, and he is the king by hanging on the wall and gliding.
McGrady is no longer crazy, thirteen shots in thirty-five seconds.
Except for Kobe, the four shooting guards all had miserable NBA careers in their later years, but the"four shooting guards" are a whole.
One person is chaotic, and the four people are scattered.
Our youth, the era of the"four shooting guards", is completely over"
"Times are always changing, and they will always change.
Now we are in a period of transition, so who will be the next generation of the league?!"
Duncan, Kobe, LeBron, Howard or……"
"……"
Iverson's poor performance last night made the fans fall into a wave of youth memories amidst the discussion.
Memories are memories.
Feelings are feelings.
The era of the four major shooting guards has passed.
A new era will surely emerge.
How can we stand still?
Charge forward!!!
……
In the fans' recollection of the"Four Great Shooting Guards", the Clippers, who have won 17 games in a row, will face the 76ers and the Knicks.
The 76ers have Iverson.
The Knicks have McGrady.
Inexplicably... the popularity of these two games is rising!!!
