Chapter 685: Biggest Gain
And the two bulls jumped the ball, of course, from the Bobcats to the transfer of Emeka Okafor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Okafor, who once beat Howard in the rookie game and won ROY, also degraded badly due to injuries.
Erniu can finish the spark in the playoffs, let alone Okafor, who has been suppressed by the spark all year round.
"Smack!"
Erniu tossed the ball to the eclipse, who in turn passed the ball to Dragic.
Woodson's use of claws at the starting point guard position in this game can also be seen as a subtle signal.
When Erniu returned to the team, in training, it was already obvious to him that Mike Bibby was slower.
I don't know if this is natural aging, or because of the initiative to reduce salary, Bibi, who signed a middle-class contract, no longer has a higher pursuit.
It is foreseeable that Dragic and Mills will definitely get more opportunities in the new season.
The claw machine controlled the ball over the half court and sent the ball to Erniu's hands, Ruan Erniu held the ball with his back in the horn position, turned around with a false shake, quickly and neatly passed Okafor, and then held the ball and hit the basket directly.
David West, who was on the flank, hurriedly stepped forward to block, but in the end he was still a beat slower, watching Ruan Erniu complete a one-armed windmill.
"Oh !!"
The audience inside the Little Dome suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer.
Is there anything more wonderful than a yellow man about to rule this alliance?
Politics aside, the strong man is always sought after, not to mention that the strong man has the same skin color as himself.
On the offensive end of the Hornets, Paul held the ball in a high position, and after dribbling under the crotch in a row, he shook off Dragic and went straight to the basket.
Ruan Erniu stepped up to make up for the defense, Paul made a three-step layup, and after making a passing feint, he threw a shot and forced a high board goal against Erniu's defense.
Paul was able to stand in the league at 6 feet tall (183cm, probably not yet), and his physical qualities and individual scoring ability are actually underrated to a certain extent.
The first quarter of the game was not scorched, and the preseason record did not count towards the regular season, and unless there was a special purpose, few people would give their best in this warm-up game.
Both teams came off the bench about halfway through the first quarter and began to look at the team's bench lineup.
And the balance of power in the game is broken!
Jamal Crawford showed his worth as soon as he came on the pitch against Hornets substitute James Posey.
The early Celestial fans definitely had an impact on him, as he had been with the Houston Rockets and teamed up with Yao Ming in his rookie season.
This guy got a full mid-level contract in New Orleans after reaching the Eastern Conference finals with the Boston Big Three, but his current form is not as good as before.
Crotch dribble, continuous crotch dribble.
Crawford waved his arms and swayed from side to side, so that Percy couldn't guess what he was going to do next.
Breakthrough!
Crawford cut in quickly, and Posey was barely following the first move, but he was still out of position.
Stop, dribble from behind!
Percy had been shaken to the side.
The unguarded Crawford took it in stride and hit his first shot with a 16-foot step-back shot.
The Hornets missed a shot on the offensive end, and the Birdman took the rebound in the backcourt and immediately made a long pass to the frontcourt, and it was Crawford again.
This time he didn't play a fancy dribble outside the three-point line, but went straight to the basket with the ball, and the newly humiliated Posey must have wanted to limit the opponent on the defensive end, but unfortunately, this time Posey was played again.
Crawford went straight to the three-second zone this time.
Due to the fast break, there are currently no other players in this area except for him and James Posey.
ONCE AGAIN, J-CROSSOVER MADE A STOP-AND-GO DRIBBLE.
This time, Posey chose to pounce and not give Crawford any room to pull out.
Crawford didn't hesitate to face Posey, who lunged at him, and with a light and simple jump, he got past Posey and immediately ended the fight with a throw.
Er Niu, Embarrassing Sen and others on the field immediately got up and waved towels to cheer for Crawford, and today's five best goals in the preseason have been born.
Subsequently, the Little Dome was once again in a boil.
The teammates were still fascinated by it, let alone the spectators on the sidelines.
Although Crawford is basically defenseless, he is really good at attacking. Such a guy is indeed more suitable to appear in the position of the sixth man and attack the city for the team.
At critical moments, his individual scoring ability does have the potential to directly change the direction of the game.
At 37:25, the Hawks ended the first quarter with a 12-point lead.
The score is not important, the key is the super offensive ability shown by the Hawks in the second team, or rather, the super aggression shown by Crawford alone.
Woodson, who was still worried about Crawford's difficulty fitting into the team, breathed a sigh of relief.
Billy Knight's move "Flying Immortals" has received high praise in the industry, but objectively speaking, whether a team with good chemistry like the Hawks will cause turmoil due to the introduction of Crawford, who has a cancerous attribute, no one can say before the game.
The past quarter of the game, although it didn't prove everything, was enough to reassure the Eagles.
This offensive master, who is almost a robbery deal, can really integrate well into the team.
In other words, just looking at the strength on paper, the Atlanta Hawks are stronger than last season, after all, on the bench, they also have a scorer who can explode instantly.
In the second quarter of the game, even though the audience repeatedly called the names of Erniu and Paul, neither Woodson nor Scott had the slightest intention of changing the team leader.
In their view, the outcome of the preseason is far less important than looking at the players and the squad.
Due to the lack of time, both Sun Yue and Carol have gained a lot of playing time.
Sun Yue gradually came out of the haze of the Asian Championships, he first put on a big hat on the defensive end, and then hit two three-pointers on the offensive end, and contributed his strength well in the bench time.
But the fledgling Carroll is a lot more frizzy, and Carroll, who switched to the No. 3 position, may not have adapted to his position, and paid two consecutive fouls in a short period of time, and finally dragged back to the bench with 0 points, 0 boards, and 0 assists.
It will take quite a bit of time for Carroll to get used to the team, and she won't be eligible to be part of Woodson's rotation until she shows her wing defensive intensity and three-point shooting ability.
In the second half of the game, the main players of both teams returned to the field at the same time.
Ruan Erniu and Paul once again showed their climactic basketball skills, one played a 2+1 blocker on the offensive end, and the other immediately sent a long pass to the air, just such a wonderful performance was enough to make the audience in Wanwan worth the ticket price.
In the rest of the game, as in the first half, the main players of both sides were replaced in the second half of the third quarter, and the substitutes reoccupied their positions on the court.
Then, Crawford, who had a great game, dominated the game again, earning about eight minutes of playing time in the fourth quarter.
Crawford, who shot 12-of-18 from the field, including 4-of-6 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, scored a total of 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists in this game, and was the best player tonight.
At 124:101, the Hawks won their first preseason win, but their biggest gain was Jamal Crawford.
