Chapter 225: The Crisis of the Second Grade

They are also full of brute strength, but Elton Brand is exposed, and the strong muscles in his body can scare the faint of heart into tears, while Lamar has a lot of strength in his bones. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just by taking advantage of his physical advantage, Elton Brand easily squeezed Mark Jackson, who performed well in the regular season, to the side. Of course, Mark Jackson is not so easy to deal with, just when Elton Brand jumped up and was about to shoot, Mark Jackson's hand had already stretched out from behind to block Elton Brand's eyes, and it was still very enchanting.

It was such a disturbance that made Elton Brand's already not very good shot at this time even more outrageous, and he didn't even touch the basket and smashed it directly on the board.

Kenyon Martin under the basket shouted, "Mine." ”

Martin quickly took up a favorable position and was ready to grab the rebound.

Mark Jackson also gave face to block Elton Brand behind him for him.

But just when Kenyon Martin thought that the rebound was nine out of ten, he suddenly stretched out a hand from the back of his head, caught the basketball, and then smashed the ball into the net.

Lamar!

Poor Kenyon Martin could only be unwilling to be a moving set board, setting off how high and powerful this Lamar jumped at this moment.

Elton Brand looked at Lamar with a cool expression unwillingly. In his heart, he can only admit that he does have a lot of shortcomings compared to Lamar now, and it also makes him determined to catch up.

Lamar's two consecutive performances in the opening game did catch the first-year players off guard, after all, they have been beating in the NBA, the most competitive basketball league in the world, for a year, and they are much better than first-year rookies in terms of experience and adaptability.

While these guys in the second year were still immersed in individual performances, the rookies in the first year were already looking for cooperation with their temporary teammates.

ElAmy wasn't a very good point guard, and he was also lacking in playmaking, so first-year head coach Laurie simply handed over the responsibility of organizing the offense to Stephen Jackson on the court, a small forward from the Nets.

Stephen Jackson was also surprised by Lauri's decision, as he had been told before the game that he was just going through the motions for this rookie game, and that the absolute centerpiece of the court was this year's top pick, Kenyon Martin. originally thought that the head coach called a timeout to replace himself, but who knew that he would be the core of the team.

Despite his surprise, Stephen Jackson took his coach's instructions very seriously.

When the game restarted, Stephen Jackson took the initiative to pick up the ball in the high post, and then threw it on the rebound, and Kenyon Martin under the basket squeezed Elton Brand aside and jumped up to score the ball in the air.

The wonderful cooperation of the two interior players won bursts of applause from the audience, and Magic Johnson sitting in the commentary seat also nodded frequently.

"Stephen Jackson has a lot of vision, and he probably sees a little more clearly than the average defender at his level. His pass found Kenyon Martin accurately, and Kenyon Martin didn't waste his teammate's gift, and it is clear that he is in much better form than the second-year champion, and in terms of strength alone, Elton is not at a loss, and may even be stronger. I think the second-year manager should still have Lamar in charge of Martin. ”

Leaving aside the correctness of Johnson's advice, sophomore suffered a setback on the offensive end.

At that time, Lamar received a pass from Steve Francis, shook Stephen Jackson again, and was ready to challenge the first-year Twin Towers inside, but this time Mark Jackson was already serious, although he couldn't deal with Lamar alone, but there was still a Kenyon Martin standing behind him.

Lamar dodged a desperate block and then had only time to get the ball into his arms again when he faced a big slap from Kenyon Martin. When he made another shot, his rhythm was already disrupted, and the thrown basketball smashed into the basket and bounced out, which was caught by Mark Jackson.

Lamar is still an earthling, after all, and he also has no ability to escape gravity.

After Mark Jackson got the rebound, he didn't even look at it and threw it directly to the front court, and Stephen Jackson, who had already started the small motor, steadily used the incoming ball to take his classic three-step swing and score a layup. After the goal, he didn't forget to give a thumbs up to Mark Jackson to indicate that the pass was good.

In response, Mark Jackson just smiled shyly, in fact, the ball just now was not a prophet, or a tacit understanding. This is the first time they've played together, and to say that there's any tacit understanding is pure. The reason for Mark Jackson's judgment of making a long pass is still his familiarity with Stephen Jackson, after all, every time the Warriors face the Raptors in the regular season, they have to be stabbed a few times by the Raptors' outside three.

Elton Brand didn't say anything when he saw Lamar's miss, he thought he would be sarcastic when Lamar was inaccurate, but he knew very well that he didn't have a problem with the situation just now, I'm afraid that even Jordan came with the same result.

Steve Francis dribbled across half court again and passed to Elton Brand, one for each of them, unbiased.

It's not that Francis doesn't want to pass outside, but the two outside players on his side are facing an even more unfavorable situation at this time, Terry has been pocketed by Stephen Jackson, and as for Byron Davis, he is under Richardson's crazy squeezing, and even his face is distorted.

Elton Brand still wanted to run over with his physical advantage after receiving the ball, but when he tried to turn around, Mark Jackson behind him was obviously putting more pressure on him than the last time, and at the same time, the two slender arms always stretched forward alternately to snatch the basketball in his hand.

It took a few attempts to dribble with his back to move forward a little, but after all, he is a talented player who is praised by everyone, and of course the means cannot be just like that. Seeing that Mark Jackson could not be solved by strength, he decisively took other measures.

Leaning back, then suddenly unloading forward, then turning and breaking through. Mark Jackson, who lost his center of gravity, couldn't stop his body and rushed forward, leaving a huge void beside him, which was grabbed by Elton Brand and rushed in.

Once the speed is up, Elton Brand is almost as powerful as a small tank, and even Kenyon Martin can only choose to retreat.

Elton Brand was already jumping up, holding the ball in both hands and trying to smash it inside the basket, and his idea was good.

"Smack!"

The basketball was pressed by Mark Jackson on top of the rebound, and then he held it in his hand, and another long pass found Stephen Jackson.

Although Lamar increased his concentration this time, and when he saw Elton Brand dunk blocked, he quickly returned to defense, but the opponent rushed up at the same time with three players. He could only shrink to the basket to defend.

As soon as Stephen Jackson stepped into the three-point line, he passed the ball to Elamy next to him, who shook the ball and made a move to make a layup to attract Lamar to it, and then pressed the ball down, and passed it to Richardson who followed up with a flick of his wrist, Richardson was not greedy, threw the ball to the rebound behind Lamar, and Stephen Jackson, who came out of the baseline, received the ball and scored a layup. The whole process of the fast attack is smooth, and people can't help but applaud.

Failed to score two consecutive shots, but was hit by the opponent on a fast break, which made the sophomore players look a little impatient on the court, and the offense repeatedly missed, and even Lamar, who has been efficient since entering the league, has a three-point situation.

It's really too much pressure on the opponent's inside line, and their own inside players are only Elton Brand, who is completely suppressed and can't help! Steve Francis can only take a group of outside players to choose to fly three points outside, but this thing is to feel the hand, and it just so happens that his hand feels cold today.

The first grade took advantage of this opportunity to play a small 13-0 surge and establish a 17-point lead.

Forced to desperation, second-year head coach Hes had no choice but to call a timeout.

But Hes didn't have a good idea at the moment, none of these players he was familiar with. After talking nonsense for a long time, he simply played star tactics, replacing Byron Davis with Andre Miller, replacing Elton Brand with Marion, promoting Steve Francis to the No. 2 position, and letting Lamar play the center position, pinning his hopes on the individual performance of these rising stars, and the combination of a flash of inspiration, although this inspiration has not appeared until now.

Andre Miller still played a certain role after he came on the court, he didn't want to take care of anything like Steve Francis, he would give whoever had a good position and opportunity, and he would break through by himself if he couldn't do it.

Although I didn't get the score back immediately, it didn't fall on the side.

Lamar was no longer angry after Andre Miller came on the court, and his touch returned, but after he made a three-pointer, he suddenly quieted down and frequently passed the ball to Steve Francis.

Angelina Julie was anxious to shout loudly to cheer for Lamar off the field, not caring about her image at all, but even her hard work could not wake up the hibernating Lamar.

No one knew what Lamar was thinking, except himself.

In fact, Lamar has already seen that the first grade has played a tacit understanding, and the five players on the court have found the same channel, with Stephen Jackson as the core and Kenyon Martin as the main point of attack to start playing overall basketball.

Since his teammates couldn't give him enough support, Lamar decided to conserve his energy and take over the game at the right time, so that no one could stop him.

At the end of the first quarter, with the sophomore still trailing by 14 points, the head coaches of both sides replaced the main team and let the bench play on the court.

This is also the unwritten rule of the All-Star Game, after all, it is rare to have a once, and the head coaches of both sides must take care of the emotions of all the players, and they can't let the family come for nothing. (To be continued.) )
