Chapter 279
Chamberlain held the ball and his feet swayed from side to side, moving his body quickly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Brand's weight put a lot of pressure on Chamberlain, and more importantly, Brand's footsteps are more flexible than O'Neill.
Chamberlain's continuous feints broke through, and Brand didn't eat this at all, always maintaining pressure on Chamberlain behind his back.
Seeing the time pass little by little, Chamberlain seemed to be a donkey with poor skills and wanted to rush under the basket.
"Smack!"
Chamberlain drew Brad's attention with a forced break, and a ground-hitting pass discreetly cleared the ball.
"Huh!"
Ray Allen catches the ball at the free-throw line and hits an easy jumper.
Brand can stop Chamberlain from scoring, but he can't stop Chamberlain from passing, but in this way, it makes it not so easy to run from the outside.
Without Chamberlain's destruction of the interior, the Clippers' Ray Allen is particularly closely cared for, and opportunities like the current one are not easy to find.
"Huh!"
Margeti cut in to take Oxlade-Chamberlain and passed the ball to Brand.
Brand's lack of height, even for small forwards, his height is not too prominent, but because of this, he has been forced to develop a stable mid-range shot.
After receiving Margeti's pass, Brad raised his hand and put the basketball into the basket.
"You can be fast, Zhang, Carman is very slow, I think I can handle it. ”
Chamberlain was restrained by Brand, and Mourning was a little anxious, and when he went to the inside position, he whispered in Chamberlain's ear.
"No...... Wait, Carman is slow......"
Mourning's words finally let Chamberlain know what he had forgotten, yes, Carman's speed.
Carman is a standard white center with good technique, but his pace is unusually slow. In today's game, Oxlade-Chamberlain's excessive attention to Brand, and the fact that he had actually played with Carman, actually ignored this.
"I know what to do, Alonzo. ”
Karman's slow movement, the Clippers' interior defense, rely more on Brand, his nimble footwork, and one of the jobs he often does is to wipe Carman's ass and make up for those opponents that Karman misses.
"Ridno, give me the ball. ”
This time Chamberlain was in a deeper position, far away from Carman asking for the ball from Ridno.
At the moment when the basketball started, Brand suddenly stuck to it, and Chamberlain pulled his right foot horizontally, completely placing the center of gravity of his body on his right foot.
Brand followed closely and saw that the route was blocked, but Chamberlain did not stop his movements, persevering and persevering to dribble to the right side.
Although Chamberlain's actions surprised Brand, he didn't think much about it and still ran rampantly to block Chamberlain.
"Smack!"
Chamberlain slapped the basketball hard and forced a sharp turn to the right.
Seeing Chamberlain's action, Brand suddenly quickened his pace.
"Bang!"
It's a big stake. Brand only remembered defending Chamberlain, did not observe behind him, and just as he stepped back a little bit, trying to continue to follow up with Chamberlain, he suddenly crashed into Carman's body.
Under the basket is the first position occupied by every center, and Carman is an orthodox center who does not have the habit of floating outside.
Under the basket, he didn't realize Chamberlain's intentions at first, and was fighting hard with Mourning for position, but by the time he realized it, it was too late, and his slow movement helped the opponent again, becoming a natural barrier for Chamberlain to get rid of Brand.
"Bang!"
Brand collided with Carman here, and the impact made both men bounce back in opposite directions with great force, and Chamberlain took advantage of this opportunity to swoop into the interior in one step.
"Bang dang!"
Without any restraint, Chamberlain violently ravaged the Clippers' slender basket.
Chamberlain's slam dunk landed on the floor, and he ran past them with his hands raised and whizzing past them under the embarrassing notes of the Clippers' two interior players who nearly fell to the ground.
The arrogant celebration caused the Clippers audience to erupt in violent boos.
"Okay, okay, that's it. ”
At this time, McMillan ran to the sideline of the court, put his hands in a figure-eight shape over his mouth, and shouted loudly to Chamberlain, he knew that the supersonic crisis was over.
Getting rid of the predicament of being restrained, Chamberlain suddenly became active in the next game, frequently opening his hand to ask for the ball, and for a while the Clippers' defense was in turmoil, and at the end of the second quarter, the SuperSonics not only recovered the lost points, but also led the Clippers by 5 points.
With a final score of 104-99, the Clippers completely lost control of the situation on the court after a perfect first quarter, and the entire fourth quarter was reduced to garbage time.
In this game, Chamberlain only scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter, and only played 30 minutes, got 32 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and was elected the best of the game.
After the game, the SuperSonics did not return to Seattle, but took a special plane to Golden State immediately after the game to challenge the Warriors, whose home court is located here.
The Warriors have all but been forgotten due to their poor record in recent years, well, this is a team that everyone ignores when they see a bullie, at least until the arrival of Nelson Sr.
The '04-05 season was their darkest time, when there was no "Captain" Jackson, "Bearded" Davis, "Goddess" Ellis, not even Biderlins, and the most famous of them was a man named Dunleavy.
Yes, it's Dunleavy Jr., who at this time was still the tactical core of the Warriors.
It may be a bit dismissive to describe this game as effortless, but it is true, from the first second of the game, the Warriors have been playing the role of Xiao Shou, and they are not qualified to suffer, and they are often stabbed in blood by the attackers.
The final score was 84:103, and the supersonic were already waterproof, but the Warriors were too discouraged.
The SuperSonics still didn't get a chance to rest, and they rushed to Washington overnight to challenge the Wizards here.
This year's Wizards are doing very well.
After adapting to the new environment, the paranoid Arenas burst out with super firepower exclusive to the "Phoenix Man".
He scored 25.5 points per game, tying a career-high of 4.7 rebounds per game and averaging 5.1 assists and 1.74 steals per game, a new season total of 2,038 points. After El Monroe (2,056 points in the 196869), he became the first player on the team to score more than 2,000 points in a single season.
In 80 games, he became the team's leading scorer 43, assists 42 and rebounders 7. Ranked in the top 10 in the NBA in scoring per unit of time (3rd), made 3-pointers (5th), averaged steals per game (6), averaged points per game (7th) and averaged free throws (8th).
There is also the so-called non-trivial guy Jamison who joined in the new season (can play the No. 3 and No. 4 positions), and the "mid-pitch king" Larry Hughes.
This allowed the Wizards to establish a complete outside offensive system, and the firepower was extremely terrifying. With an average of 67.1 points per game, he is second only to Chamberlain, Ray Allen, and Lewis, with an average of 47.5 points per game, and Arenas and Hughes are the NBA's highest-scoring backcourt combination.
But perhaps it was providence that Chamberlain performed exceptionally well in this game.
