Chapter 224: The Difference Is Not Astonishing
The Hornets are undoubtedly a big miser.
A few years ago, the Hornets' lineup was actually quite outstanding.
The combination of Colonel Mooning and Aunt Johnson is actually quite competitive in the east.
But Colonel and Auntie fought for power, and the Hornets management didn't know which string was wrong in their minds, so they actually sold Mo Ning.
It’s not over to sell Mo Ning. During this offseason, he sold Aunt Johnson again.
If Davidson was the management of the Hornets, he would definitely sell the aunt if the conflict between the Colonel and the aunt could not be reconciled.
Mo Ning is younger, stronger, and has greater potential. The key is that he is the most suitable inside player as the cornerstone of the team building...
Although the aunt is also an inside player, she is 198 and does not have the same ability as Barkley. She may be able to play quite outstanding data in the regular season, but once the playoffs arrive, she will be finished immediately.
This is definitely not Davidson is talking nonsense, but has real data proof.
During the regular season, the rebounds can reach more than 10 per game, but as soon as the playoffs arrive, the rebounding data will immediately shrink by almost half...
The reason for this can be understood with your big toe.
In the playoffs, the bus's height and tonnage are not tenable at all in the inside line, so it is not easy to grab rebounds.
The playoffs are a real bayonet fight. Every rebound is desperately snatched, while the regular season is not that intense.
On the other hand, Mo Ning's performance in the regular season and playoffs is not different...
In this case, as long as the management is a little rational, it is difficult for it to sell Mo Ning.
Davidson once doubted whether the Hornets' management had any py deal with Pat Riley, otherwise how could they be willing to sell Mourning to Pat Riley?
What made Davidson even more speechless was that after selling Mo Ning, he turned around and sold the aunt again. He really couldn't understand the Hornet's operation.
If they want to rebuild, they don’t think that their record is the case. After all, they are not a rich team like the Lakers or the Knicks.
These two teams don't need any draft picks to rebuild, they just need to spend money...
And there is no such capital on the Hornets. If you really want to rebuild, it will definitely be more cost-effective to get the draft pick.
...
Now the Hornets obviously have no intention of playing badly, and the players in their positions are surprisingly good.
Center Divac, the chips exchanged from the Lakers during the offseason, were traded by Kobe. It is not easy to see whether this deal is cost-effective or not. After all, Kobe is too young and probably can't see anything in one or two years.
Glen Rice, who is a small forward, is a well-known star in the league. He has sufficient offensive firepower, no less than Richmond. He also has the top three-point shooting power in the league. Last season, he was able to maintain a three-point shooting percentage of 42.4% per game while averaging five three-pointers.
There is no doubt that Glen Rice is the leader of this Hornets, and many Hornet fans have given him the nickname of Queen Bee.
Boggs, who is in the point guard position, is also very well-known, and is only 1.6 meters tall, but it is not easy for Boggs, who is thirty-two years old, to be able to gain a foothold in the league.
These three are the three most well-known players in the Hornets.
However, the most interesting players are not these three, but Anthony Mason, who is in the power forward position.
When it comes to Mason of the Hornets, Chinese fans in later generations will definitely grit their teeth with hatred.
Because Yao Ming, the pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team in later generations, suffered losses from the Hornet Mason in the NBA, which is one of the few times that Yao Ming was anxious in the NBA.
However, the Mason in the Hornets is not the Mason who throws Yao Ming back.
Although these two people are indeed somewhat similar, they are both of the same physical fitness, both of which are the same height of 201 cm, have played for the Hornets, and their surname is Mason.
More similarly, these two Masons were both thorny on the court.
Anthony Mason Jr. was a player who came out of the Knicks before. He followed a bunch of New York and had no dirty work under his command. He was embarrassed to say that he came out of New York.
The Mason who threw Yao Ming on his back was named Desmond Mason...
The reason why Anthony Mason, a young man in the Hornets is interesting is that this player is an extremely rare old tree blossom type player in the NBA.
The most common young heroes in NBA have been around since their debut. Of course, many of these young heroes have fallen halfway through.
And players like Mason who have blossoming old trees are extremely rare.
Mason is exactly 30 years old this season. For many players, this age is actually at the end of their careers.
But at this age, Mason has transformed from a rough blue-collar power forward who has become an all-round player who can score three-pointers from time to time. His organizational ability and central shooting ability seem to have all been possessed overnight.
Until now this season, this guy actually scored All-Star data with an average of 16 points, 11 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, which is really shocking.
You should know that if Mason really showed such strength before, the Knicks would not have sent him to the Hornets during the offseason.
...
In addition to these players, there are also players like Dell Curry on the bench.
Davidson had hesitated between Christie and Dell Curry before, but after Petri had contacted the Hornets, the Hornets said they would not sell old Curry, even if Petri said it was useless.
In this case, Christie can only be chosen. Judging from the current situation, Christie is a better choice than Old Curry.
Although Old Curry mainly plays as a substitute in the Hornets, it is actually no different from it.
There are about 20 or 30 games in a season, and then the playing time can reach 30 minutes. You should know that the Hornets' point guard Tony Smith averages only 18 minutes of playing time!
...
There is naturally a reason to choose Hornets as Nash's victim, the main reason is that Boggs has no defense...
Old Curry's defense is not much better. Such a backcourt combination will be left without any slags that can be blown by Nash.
Secondly, the Hornets' overall strength is not weak, and their record is also a stable playoff level in the Eastern Conference.
The value of data on such a team is naturally higher.
This night, Davidson was about to let Nash play to death, and he would never stop until he scored.
