Chapter 255: Mo Ning who finally made people face it
"Shhhh Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
After a brief shock, awakened by the cheers, the fans of the Amway Center cursed the perpetrator Chamberlain with emotion.
"You see, they're really welcoming. ”
Rushing back to his inside line, Chamberlain re-entangled Howard, still muttering non-stop.
This time, Howard got stuck in the basket, and the outside pass was in his hands. With his left elbow against Chamberlain, Howard steadied himself and controlled the basketball towards the basket.
So far, Howard has had very few shots, Chamberlain has defended him well, rarely leaving him a catch-up opportunity like this one, plus Francis is more focused on individual offense.
Well, the ball came in from Grant.
It seems that the Magic have such a tradition, the point guard is an offensive maniac, and the small forward organizes the team to attack. From Francis to Nelson, Grant to Turkoglou, it's always been like this.
Howard's power was too strong, and Chamberlain didn't defend him with the ball, so he was very good at forming an effective defense against him.
But it doesn't matter, there's Mourning.
Seeing Chamberlain being pushed back step by step by Howard, Mourning immediately stepped out from under the basket.
At this time, Howard did not have the ability to break the bag, and the afterglow of his eyes paid attention to Mourning's movements, he immediately stopped continuing to play singles, sat down with Chamberlain, turned around and raised his elbows, and wanted to jump up for a layup.
With his left foot as the axis, Howard rotated his body around and gently rested the tip of his right foot on the floor, looking like he was about to jump up. But in Howard's eyes, he saw a scene that he never expected.
Chamberlain, who should have been pushed out by him, turned out to be weird, and it was so strange that he was sticking to his body face to face, and the distance between the two people's bodies couldn't even be stuffed into a piece of paper.
Toughness is a great skill when attacking against opponents who are far more powerful than you. Howard sat back, Chamberlain's cotton belly was retracted, and he pretended to be forced to retreat, and then saw the embarrassing moment of Howard and quickly pasted it.
"Tick!"
Chamberlain's choice of this unconscionable defensive timing made Howard fight his legs, unable to control his body center of gravity, staggered back several steps, and was whistled by the referee for walking violations.
Looking at Howard's stunned expression, Chamberlain smiled, his lips opened and closed, and just as Howard went to listen, he suddenly accelerated, and Howard's side jumped out.
Well, he deceived the kind boy again. Supersonic launched a fast attack, and Chamberlain, who had no defenders around him, was like a fish in water, shook off the lonely Cato, and dunked again.
At 71:47 in the end, even if the Magic's tactics were mellowed, they could only ensure that their team would not continue to slide, and could not close even a single point difference.
With a 24-point lead, the two sides went into halftime.
'I'm playing against great players, against the best players in the world, and that's what I've always wanted. ”
At halftime, a reporter approached Howard and asked him what he thought of the game.
There is never a shortage of schadenfreude gloating people in the world, and they meant to see Howard jokes. But what surprised them was that, unlike what they imagined, Howard did not have any frustrated expression because he was blown up by Chamberlain, but said such a shocking sentence with a calm face.
So far, Howard has scored seven points, grabbed eight rebounds and carried three fouls, while Chamberlain, who is opposite him, has 26 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.
In the second quarter, Chamberlain reduced the number of shots, not because he didn't want to score, but because Howard and Cato's bag was too difficult to deal with, which made Chamberlain dare not hold it up and spend more energy on organizing the team's offense.
"We're going to have to change our tactics. ”
In the locker room, McMillan gathered his players together and opened the tactical board in his hand. It is impossible for him not to see Chamberlain's predicament, and the current supersonic speed is not so embarrassing that it is unavailable on the inside line like in his previous life. One person can't go it alone, no matter how strong that person is.
It's still only the regular season, and by the time the playoffs come, the opponent's defense will definitely be more than a level higher than it is now. In order for the team to go further, change is necessary.
"The Magic bag makes it difficult for Zhang to deal with, Alonzo, and your help is needed at this time. ”
Before being diagnosed with partial kidney failure, Mourning can either wreak havoc on the opponent's interior in the low post or catch the ball on the perimeter, and his offensive tools under the basket include basket singles. Layups, slam dunks, secondary offenses, and hook shots. The offensive means that can be inside and out, so that he can score like a bag. Capable of allowing defenders to shoot when they are unresponsive. As for defense.
Well, please add before these comments that this is a defensive center. We need to remember one thing. Mourning is definitely the strongest defensive center in the NBA...... Well, one.
There is still such a big man hidden in the team, and it is absolutely a tyrannical thing to use it if it is not fully used.
When Mourning first joined the SuperSonics, just as everyone was worried about, McMillan was also worried that Mourning's body could not adapt to the high-intensity confrontation in the NBA, if it weren't for the supersonic interior line, there would be no one available. With Chamberlain's little face, it is impossible for Mourning to become the team's starting center.
No one wants to expect a person who could be admitted to the hospital at any time.
Although Mourning played well in the next few games, far exceeding everyone's expectations, this did not eliminate McMillan's concerns, and it also tacitly accepted Mourning's long-standing blue-collar status.
By that time, the SuperSonics were on the right track, making the best start the franchise had ever made, and the twilight Mourning was not worth the risk for McMillan. At that time, McMillan's idea was very simple, the position of Mourning's team was not important, so that even if he could not continue to play, it would not cause too much harm to the team, it was just to find another blue-collar who could not get the ball.
But so far in the season, the mounin who has made people worry not only has no problems, but has played better and better, and his cooperation with Chamberlain has reached an almost seamless level, which makes McMillan unable to resist this temptation and is excited.
