Chapter 1063: Iron Hammer Still Has Three Years of Peak Period
Dayao asked at this time: "Tie Hammer, what do you think?"
Both families looked at Li Ba at this time.
Li Ba slowly peeled the crayfish and said: "When the time comes, I will stand on the bottom line and give my opponent twenty steals in a game. Let's see who can beat me?"
"Ha ha……"
Dayao was startled and burst into laughter instantly.
Li Ba added: "In the so-called small ball era, why do I have to play fast breaks? Can't I play positional warfare on the offensive end?
If you don't gain weight inside, that's even better. I'll just sit under the basket and beat you. Who can stop my strong attack under the basket? Every time I hit you like that, my hit rate is close to 100%. How high is your outside attack? Can it exceed 50% for a long time?
You play fast breaks, you speed up the transition between offense and defense, everyone can pass the ball, everyone can shoot from the outside, this is indeed amazing, but a team must have a core, I will double-team your core to let you The entire team's offense cannot flow smoothly. How do you improve the offensive and defensive rhythm? "
Dayao was a little stunned. What Li Ba said seemed to make sense. Finally, he asked: "What if there really is no core?"
"Then press the whole court and fight off a chaotic battle. You will see that our current Suns team will still be invincible in the future."
Li Ba said with full confidence.
In the live broadcast room, Pippen said at this time: "Everyone should also pay attention to the fact that Hammer is 27 years old this year. Almost 99% of his offenses are dunks, and they are heavy dunks. This is a very physically demanding style of play. I am now It's surprising that he wasn't hurt.
But with his style of play, how many more years can he remain at his peak? As long as his physical function declines, can this kind of playing style that relies on physical fitness adapt to the small ball era?
I guess he couldn't last even a few years into the traditional era. I am even certain that in three years' time, when he reaches the age of thirty, he will definitely decline from his peak, and without skills, his condition will seriously decline. "
As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately recognized by others, including Barkley and O'Neal.
O'Neal did not go against Pippen on this issue. He said: "The Hammer's style of play is indeed too advanced. Even if he has a shot near the basket, he rarely uses it. He basically just dunks. I also think that his style of play is too advanced." The law cannot last more than a few years.”
"Basketball ultimately depends on technique. Although Michael's physical talent is strong, his technique is the first element of his greatness."
Pippen smiled proudly.
O'Neal said at this time: "I don't agree with this. The Hammer is defense. Doesn't he have defensive skills? His defensive skills can be said to be the best in history. Even if his quality declines, he can last for a long time just based on his defense." time."
Pippen was stunned and remembered what Barkley said just now. He said: "But what we are talking about now is greatness, not that he can barely hold on for a few years."
This time it was O'Neal's turn to have nothing to say.
At this time, the girl whispered to Li Ba: "Husband, you are in such good health, you will definitely be at your peak until you retire."
Li Ba laughed and whispered: "Qian Qian, I have collected the magic oil I gave you. With it, your words will definitely come true."
"Yeah!" The girl nodded repeatedly.
At this time, the cell phone rang, and it was the live call from the TNT program.
"Hello, Charles, I'm Hammer."
"Hello, Hammer, are you looking?"
"Yes, the show is great."
"What do you want to say? Do you think that in the future small ball era, maybe it will only take a few years for that era to officially arrive. Do you think you can continue to remain great and continue to dominate the league? Can you be as great as Jordan? Time?" Buckley asked seriously.
Li Ba smiled and said: "I don't look forward to that era coming."
"Why? Do you think that era was not good for you? You couldn't adapt to that era? You didn't have confidence?"
Buckley asked, surprised.
Several superstars at the scene were also very surprised. They said this in front of so many viewers watching TV. Is Hammer crazy?
"My mobility allows me to adapt to the style of the small ball era. I can even run faster than some guards."
Li Ba said with a smile: "I thought about it, and I think that era should be a boring era. There was no confrontation, the whistle would sound from time to time, any confrontation would interrupt the game, the referee would become the protagonist, and the game would be completely lost. Continuity, fans will lose interest in basketball, and the market will shrink..."
His words surprised countless people. Is this the future of the small ball era?
At Stern's home in New York, he frowned. Is what Hammer described true? Is the future small ball era really like that?
Buckley asked hurriedly: "Hammer, do you really think that?"
Li Badao: "When there are more outside attacks, everyone will just keep shooting. There will no longer be gorgeous attacks and passionate confrontations. Isn't this certain?
The reason why American football has become the most popular sport in North America is because of the intense and exciting competition, right?
What do you think will happen when basketball only has outside shooting and loses inside confrontation?
Will anyone be fascinated by that style of basketball and be passionate about it? No, just stay away from it. "
"What about the whistle? Do you think it will enter the body-hair era?" Barkley asked.
Li Ba said: "When outside shooting increases and even becomes the main offensive method, shooting becomes the only performance, and many fans will leave, such as fans who like to confront the performance, leaving only some fans who like to watch shooting.
So if you use strong defense to stop this kind of performance, what else can NBA games use to attract the remaining fans?
So, what will be stopped at that time is defense, especially defense against outside shooting, which will not be allowed."
"If that era comes, what will you do?" Barkley asked.
"I will leave, leave forever, and I won't even pay attention to this league anymore. It's not that I can't adapt to that era, but that's not the basketball I like." Li Ba replied.
As the first active player who just won the championship, his words shocked everyone.
Everyone is thinking, do I like that kind of basketball?
Including Stern, he is also wondering whether the development direction of the league needs some correct guidance?
This show ended in vain, but it is undeniable that Li Ba now meets the standards of greatness.
But at the same time, because of what Pippen said, it is generally believed that Li Ba's peak period will not last as long as Jordan's. Given the physique of the yellow race, it will take at most three years.
