Soon it's game day again, and this time the superSonics are against the Los Angeles Clippers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the media was not optimistic about the Clippers' game today, although Brand swore before the game that he had found a way to restrain Chamberlain.

With his nimble footwork, 250-pound weight and strong long arms, Brand did cause some problems for Chamberlain at the start of the race.

In order to wait for Mourning, most of the time the superSonics will have a slower offensive tempo than a real small-ball team, which gives Brand a chance.

Once he is glued to Brand, it will be very difficult for Chamberlain to try to get rid of him. In this way, at the end of the first quarter, the Clippers magically fought the SuperSonics.

Sitting on the sidelines, McMillan's brow furrowed slightly.

He saw the situation on the field, and he was also clear about Chamberlain's predicament, but when the main team returned to the bench, he did not storm or change tactics.

In the arena, it is normal to win or lose, as long as it is not a constant loss, the occasional result is not as expected, and it does not hurt.

So far in the season, the SuperSonics have achieved good enough results, and McMillan can't change the team's well-developed tactics just because of a bad game, especially when the opponent is a quasi-fish belly team like the Clippers who only work hard for the playoffs.

McMillan's eyes are no longer on this now, because he knows that their real opponents are teams like the Spurs and Pistons.

"Daniels, Gallen Young, Wilkinson, Evans, James, you five play."

Once the main players were seated in turn, McMillan announced the names of the rotation players.

"Today our opponents were very tenacious and I want you to play your part. Okay, you can go warm up. ”

There was little hope for a replacement, but the necessary superficial work was needed. He made such a routine symbolic announcement of the pre-war mobilization, and waved them to warm up and prepare for the game.

"Alright, boys, cheer up. Everybody has a slump, what's wrong with you? And the game isn't over yet! ”

The delay on the court made the main team of the superSonics a little depressed, and they were used to victory, and they did not plan to hold on to the Clippers before the game.

"Zhang, this is normal, everyone has their own opponents who can't easily deal with it, and don't forget that Brand is still a rare player who averages 20 plus 10 per game."

The supersonic team is in this situation, and everyone knows that it is entirely because Chamberlain was restrained by Brand.

Not long after joining the team, Chamberlain has been playing the role of the axis in the team, and his teammates are also used to his control of the ball, so when Chamberlain can't play his real role, the supersonic players are suddenly unaccustomed to it, like headless flies. Can't find a way forward.

Brand is a rare 20+10 interior Chamberlain knows, and Brand is often compared to Duncan, and Chamberlain is not so arrogant that he can't accept failure.

The reason why he was silent was because he was thinking, he felt as if he was overlooking something, he seemed to have a way to break the Clippers' interior defense, but he didn't think about it for a while.

Of course, this does not mean simply beating Brand, just like facing Garnett, Carman returned to the freed Brand, and Chamberlain clearly realized that he could not easily get rid of his defense, and he was thinking about the victory of the team.

"No, Nate, I'm thinking about the game, I feel like we can beat the Clippers, but I can't think of where the break is."

Chamberlain looked up and looked at McMillan with inquiring eyes. When he couldn't find an answer, Chamberlain hoped that McMillan would give him pointers.

"You mean speeding up the team's offensive tempo?"

In fact, it is very simple to break the Clippers' restraint on Chamberlain, which is to speed up the team's offensive tempo, but McMillan is not willing to do so.

There are weak points in this tactic, one is that Mourning must be replaced, replaced with Radmanovic or James, Evans, who are relatively physical and faster, the disadvantage is that there is less Mourning's defense, and supersonic speed cannot stop the Clippers' offense, and Chamberlain's cooperation with these people is not so tacit, which will increase a lot of undue mistakes.

The second is that the team's tempo has increased, hasty shots can affect the shooting percentage, and the rebounding is not very easy to control, so McMillan is not prepared to do it.

"No, not the rhythm, but I can't think of what it is."

Chamberlain patted the back of his head and shook his head a little anxiously.

"Okay, Zhang, in fact, there is no need to change, as long as we continue to fight like this, the final victory still belongs to us, don't think too much."

Chamberlain's unabashed dedication to winning makes McMillan very pleased, there are talented players every year, but Jordan has only one. What those guys lack more than Jordan is this desire to win.

"No, Nate, because Zhang just won the first center, and he doesn't want to give this honor away yet."

Seeing that the atmosphere of the team was a little dull, Mo Ning, who was sitting on the side, took advantage of this incident to make a joke. That's the advantage of having veteran players in the team, who have seen too many ups and downs, and can always stand up at the right time to stabilize the morale of the team.

"Of course, I don't want to lose the title of top scorer, I've never won it."

As soon as Mo Ning said this, Ray Allen also came to his senses. Strictly speaking, neither Chamberlain nor Ray Allen are qualified leaders, at least in this regard, there is still a big gap between them and Morning.

In this way, you said a word to me, and the atmosphere gradually became lighter, and Chamberlain also discarded the gains and losses, and made fun of each other with his teammates.

"Alright, boys, get ready, it's your turn. Our subs played really badly! ”

With less than three minutes to go in the second quarter, McMillan had to call a timeout.

The supersonic bench should not have their imbecile image, and when the main force couldn't open the difference, they let the opponent play 16:9 in a short period of time. At this time, the score on the court was 38:46, and the SuperSonics trailed the Clippers by eight points.

Back on the field, it's the supersonic ball. Lidno possessed the ball past half court and still gave the ball to Oxlade-Chamberlain on the inside.

The successful defense in the first quarter gave Brand a lot of confidence, and the moment Chamberlain received the ball, he quickly posted it.
