8. ben wallace
Big Ben was a rookie who lost the election that year, because no one was optimistic about a short insider with weak offensive ability. But Wallace didn't give up. He began to practice hard and turned himself into a steel frame. After many troubles, he finally gained a firm foothold in the Pistons, and his previous training results were also displayed incisively and vividly on the court. Big Ben built a solid defense line for the piston, and he himself was the core of this defense line. In the 2004 finals, in the face of the Lakers' F4, the Pistons defeated their opponents through suffocating defense and won the championship. Big Ben's career has reached its peak.
7. Yao Ming
Yao Ming is definitely the eternal pride of China sports. When he joined the Rockets as the No.1 scholar in 2002, his thin body became an obvious weakness. Facing the impact of American center, Yao Ming always falls behind in strength. So in the offseason, he frantically increased his strength, gained weight in a planned way, and made himself stronger. Through unremitting efforts, Yao Ming gradually grew into the first center in the league, and the Rockets gained a firm foothold in the powerful western region. In the 2009 playoffs, the Rockets faced the Lakers at their peak. When McGrady was unable to play due to injury, Yao Ming carried the banner of the team. Especially after the first collision with Kobe Bryant, his right knee was injured. Yao Ming was slow in the player's lane for a while in order to defend himself, which was not easy for a heavy center. Unfortunately, after the third game, Yao Ming was diagnosed with a broken left foot and was reimbursed for the season. It's a pity that the Rockets finally lost the tiebreaker.
6. Buckley
Buckley is not tall, but he can rampage inside, and his powerful strength makes defenders miserable. Buckley's playing style on the court is more tough, without any unnecessary small moves. He completely conquered the fans with hard power. But if the opponent is provocative, Buckley is never vague. He has fought countless times in his career and never suffered losses. Even in the conflict with O 'Neill, he can overturn the shark. After retiring, Buckley did not change his straightforward style and commented everywhere. The most interesting thing is that he once bet that Yao Ming couldn't score 19 in a game, and if he lost, he would kiss Smith's ass. Only two days later, Yao Ming scored 20 points with a perfect performance of 9 shots. Although Smith refused to show his ass, Buckley got a donkey and cashed the bet in front of the audience, which was quite a promise.
5. Malone
Malone's toughness is divided into two aspects. First of all, he is a symbol of strength and tenacity. 36-year-old MVP, 39-year-old averaging 20.6 points, worthy? Iron man? The title of. But on the other hand, his off-board movements when playing ball made many people gnash their teeth. The worst part is Malone's iron elbow. He once opened Isaiah Thomas' eyes on the spot and finally got 40 stitches. Even more frightening, Malone directly knocked down the 7-foot strong man David Robin Xu, and the general lay on the ground for 5 minutes before regaining consciousness. Because of this, in the career of 19, Malone, who has excellent skills and overbearing style, is afraid to provoke.
4. Rodman
Rodman's toughness is his trademark. During his career, he won 7 rebounds, 7 defensive moments and 2 best defensive players. In the early days of Pistons, he was a nightmare for offensive players. Endless interference and constant physical confrontation put his opponent in a state of pain. In the middle of the Spurs' career, Rodman's rebounding ability reached its peak, averaging more than 17 rebounds per game, which was unparalleled in the league at that time. At the end of his career, he switched to Chicago and became Jordan's right-hand man. As long as he is on the court, he can always arouse the mood of the whole team, fight to the death and save the ball that was once parallel to the floor, which has become an eternal classic picture. In the end, he followed the bull to create the second Triple Crown Dynasty, leaving a name in history.
Step 3 grieve
Mourning, a kidney transplant fighter, is a real tough guy. After being forced to retire several times because of his illness, he chose to play again three times. This courage is admirable. In 2006, the Heat reached the finals all the way, and Mourning clearly knew that this was the closest opportunity to the championship in his career and the last chance. Therefore, as long as he plays, he will try his best to build a solid barrier inside. In the sixth game, he played 15 minutes, scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks, and helped the Heat beat the Mavericks 4-2, thus fulfilling their championship dream. A year later, the Heat challenged the Hawks away, and Mourning fell to the ground in a defense, which was very painful. But when the team doctor tried to carry him off the court on a stretcher, he struggled to stand up and walked back to the locker room with the help of his teammates. Later, mourning explained; ? If this is my last game, will I be carried out forever? !
2. Iverson
Iverson's fighting spirit at his peak inspired a group of fans, the most representative of which was his performance at 200 1. In the playoffs that year, Iverson averaged 46.2 minutes and scored 32.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6. 1 assist. Especially before the finals, Iverson was bruised all over: his left shoulder was slightly separated, his right thumb was fractured, his left hand was slightly fractured, his right knee was bruised, and his right elbow was bruised. Instead of dragging down the answer, these injuries made him braver in Vietnam. In the finals, Iverson scored 48 points in the first game and led the 76ers to win on the road. This game is also the best representative of his career. Although the disparity in team strength prevented Iverson from winning the championship, his image as a lonely hero was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
1, Kobe
Speaking of tough guys, how can there be no Kobe Bryant? His desire to win and tenacious fighting spirit can be said to be the highest in history. 20 10 Kobe Bryant, who led the Lakers to win the championship in a row, pulled his little finger ligament. When the operation will be suspended for three months, he will also miss the playoff journey. So Kobe chose to fix his little finger on his ring finger, continue to fight and finally lead the Lakers to the championship. This willpower to endure pain for a long time is very human, but it also leaves a mark: Kobe's fingers are severely deformed and will never return to normal.
There are countless examples like this in Kobe's career. Once, in a game, Kobe's shooter dislocated his finger, and he actually asked the team doctor to break it back directly on the sidelines, and then turned around and returned to the court. Fans are most familiar with 13 achilles tendon rupture. Kobe walked to the free throw line with a sharp pain. He made two free throws before leaving the stadium, fulfilling his promise to Old Bass and giving his all. Kobe Bryant's basketball spirit not only conquered his contemporaries, but also conquered a large number of fans, because his original love for basketball and utilitarian style are hard to see now. He is the representative of the old traditional basketball, but he may be the last one.
