Brief introduction of Julius Erving data
As early as in college, Owen was famous for controlling the ball with one hand at will. Every time he plays at the University of Massachusetts, the audience enters the stadium early to occupy seats, scrambling to see the performance of this basketball genius. Hence the nickname "Dr. J". This unique nickname first describes his modesty on and off the court, and then describes his majestic posture of holding the ball with one hand and waving the sky with one arm. During his college years, Owen scored 20 points and more than 20 rebounds in every game. There are only six such stars in American basketball history.
Owen has excellent running and jumping ability and flexible skills. He often jumps in the air and dunks from his opponent's head in the game. He grabbed the ball with one hand and dunked with the other, and was called "the windmill" by fans. His starting speed is like a loaded bullet, and opponents often know his attack route and can't stop him from moving forward. He is one of only three players in the NBA who have scored more than 30,000 points.
Owen's professional basketball career has been ups and downs. From 197 1 to 1976, Owen first played in Aba for five seasons, especially after the first season, his Virginia judges team could not pay his salary because of bankruptcy. 1974 and 1976, Owen led the new york Nets to win the ABA championship twice. 1976, Owen transferred to the Philadelphia 76 ers in NBA.
1983 Owen led the Philadelphia 76 ers to win the NBA championship. 1980, Owen was selected as the best team for the 35th anniversary of the NBA. He was selected into the NBA Best Team for five times and won 198 1 NBA Most Valuable Player of the Year. David stern, the current president of NBA, was very excited after watching Owen's performance. After retiring, Owen became the global spokesman of NBA, and often analyzed the video and technology of the game on TV.
1993, Owen was elected to the American Basketball Hall of Fame.

Compared with Jordan, Owen became famous earlier. As early as 1976 ABA dunk contest, Dr. J staged an earth-shattering leap. In the ABA Dunk Contest in' 76, besides Owen, there were Larry Kenon of Bucks, george gervin of "Iceman", Addis Guilmault and david thompson. From now on, any participant's name is world-famous, and Dr. J stands out in such a thrilling confrontation. That night, Owen was the last to play. Before him, Addis Guilmault's right baseline tomahawk buckle and David Thompson's left baseline 360 turn buckle both won full house, and Owen was faced with great challenges.
Owen warmed up very calmly, his hands jumped and two balls were buckled on the basket. Before the second spike, he dribbled and measured the distance from the midfield to the free throw line. At this moment, the stands are boiling, and the fans know that Dr. J will challenge the limit of "free throw line sliding" next. Owen retreated to the opposite three-point line and began to run up. All the fans stood up to watch, whistle and applaud. I saw Owen dribbling faster and faster. Just as he stepped on the free throw line, he drifted forward vertically off the ground and stuffed the ball into the basket with his right hand. This time, the height and stretch of the free throw line dunk are very comfortable. The only regret is that because of the deviation of foot calculation, the take-off position stepped into the free throw line slightly. Even so, the cheers and surprises in the venue are still endless.
Then, Owen once again cut in with the ball from the right 45-degree angle three-point line, and the free tie rod floated to the left with his hands behind his back, pushing the atmosphere to a climax. Owen's fourth buckle sprinted from the left 45-degree angle three-point line. After flying, the left hand climbs the iron ring, and the right hand slams the hand with a small ring, showing obvious signs of qi stagnation. When Owen dunked from the right baseline to the basket for the last time, his right hand pulled back and dunked in the opposite direction, even the commentator at the scene shouted, "You can see Julius Erving! He is from the new york Nets! ! "
The slam dunk contest in' 76 was just a short period in Dr. J's career. He also won the 83-year NBA championship, the 8 1 MVP trophy, the five-time NBA All-Star Team, the1consecutive All-Star Game, the two-time All-Star MVP, and the 1996 50-man League. Of course, the most wonderful thing is that 1993, Owen became a member of the Nair-Smith Basketball Hall of Fame, which is also the highest affirmation for Dr. J.

The Age Created by Big Birds
Larry bird was born in 1956 West Madden, Indiana, a small corn-producing village with a population of only about 2,000. At that time, at Springs Valley High School where he attended, almost the whole village went out to cheer for him. By senior year, Bird had averaged 30.6 points per game. After graduating from high school, he entered Indiana University. 1976, Bird finally started his college basketball career and quickly became a famous college basketball star in China.
In the NBA draft of 1978, Bird, who just finished his junior year, was selected as the sixth in the first round by the Boston Celtics. Considering his unfinished studies, Bird chose to stay at school to continue his studies. 1979, Bird, a senior in college, led the Indiana University team to the finals with an impressive record of 33 wins and 0 losses, and their opponent at that time was the University of Michigan team led by "Magic" Johnson.
This encounter in the university opened the prelude for the "black and white villains" to fight in the NBA for more than ten years. 1979 On March 26th, in the final game of NCAA, the team of the University of Michigan led by Johnson defeated the team of Indiana University in larry bird. In the same year, Johnson and Bird entered the NBA at the same time. The former joined the Los Angeles Lakers and the latter joined the Boston Celtics.
$3.25 million in five years-after signing the biggest rookie contract in NBA history at that time, Bird's rookie averaged 2 1.3 points 10.4 rebounds per game, and was well-deserved to win the best rookie award, and was selected as the NBA rookie best team and the NBA best team, so the Celtics' record soared from 29 wins in the previous year to 6 1 game. 198 1, Byrd entered the NBA in his second season, and the Celtics won the first championship since 1974.
In the NBA, which was dominated by black players at that time, Bird's appearance was called "the hope of white people". Not only that, his peerless duo with Johnson has also become the hope of the whole NBA.

At that time, after the Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers played seven games, three wins and two draws in the finals, the Lakers' main center "Karim Abdel-Gabbar" Jabbar sprained his foot and was seriously injured. As a result, in the sixth game, 20-year-old Johnson replaced Jabbar as the center. In that fierce battle, little Johnson scored 42 points and scored 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. The whole gymnasium became a magician's stage. He led the team to beat the 76ers and won his first NBA championship ring. Johnson also won the title of the most valuable player in the finals.
Evan Johnson was born in August 1959. His hometown is Lansing, Michigan. Johnson practiced basketball obsessively since he was a child.
