Chapter 192: Reborn from the Fire
On November 27, the game between the SuperSonics and the Trail Blazers started on time at the Rose Garden Stadium. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the same day, a well-known newspaper in China published a report on the front page of the whole country - "Hu Moumou, a staff member of the association, failed to blackmail, slandering basketball superstar Chamberlain or about to commit treason, causing public anger, and the results of a thorough investigation are outrageous!"
Well, Randolph's dead fat man was unlucky, and the stumbling supersonic was finally reborn.
At Rose Garden, which is sixth in the league, the SuperSonics have set off a furious offensive tide.
The problem children of the Trail Blazers, who had sworn before the game, were undoubtedly drowned in it. Randolph, who has always loved bullying the weak, did not take advantage of Chamberlain this time, and the referee's body hair level penalty made him leave the game with six fouls in the seventh minute of the third quarter of the game.
In fact, there is no need for the referee to help, this is the Trail Blazers are already 19 points behind, but since the referee is so enthusiastic, the supersonic said that they can only suffer.
The final score of the game was 129-101, and the main team of the SuperSonics collectively scored double-doubles, with Redno 21 points, Lewis 27 points, Ray Allen 36 points, Chamberlain 17 points, 11 assists and 14 rebounds, and even Mourning, who was off the game after Randolph, scored a career-high 14 points since his return.
Riding on a two-game winning streak on the road, the SuperSonics are back at home in Seattle, where they will face two tough players, the San Antonio Spurs, who have a deep connection with Chamberlain, and the Dallas Mavericks, who are in the limelight.
First up was the Spurs, a team that had become accustomed to slow heat, and had a rough start to the game, giving the SuperSonics an 11-point lead at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Spurs twice successfully defended to close the difference, but it was only close, McMillan called a timeout, and after the tempo temporarily calmed down, the supersonic speed handed most of the ball to Chamberlain after a series of cooperation.
The Spurs, who have no clue about their running and are more defensive than offensive, are under a lot of pressure. Seeing that the point difference was about to open up again, Duncan stood up at this time, forced Mourning to dunk, picked up the rebound that Bewis missed, and caused Mourning to foul again in the offense, and scored 5 points in a row on the free throw, stabilizing the situation on the court in one fell swoop.
There was still nothing new in the third quarter of the game, Duncan paired two trots vs Chamberlain, who was fighting one turret on the right, but the supersonic hand was hot without warning, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, Lewis made two three-pointers, and Ridnow also scored a three-pointer, so that the superSonics' lead was extended to 15 points at the end of the game.
Popovich, who was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the players, called a timeout again, it was 5 minutes into the fourth quarter of the game, the Spurs were behind the supersonics, Popovich's previous adjustments to the team, the effect was not obvious, seeing that time was running out, he planned to make the last drag of his vows.
After the timeout, the Spurs attacked, Parker dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, feigned a pass, changed hands under a crotch dribble, accelerated to break through Ridnor's defense, brushed Duncan who blocked for him and rushed into the interior, and made a layup with a small toss.
Bang bang, Chamberlain dribbled the ball quickly with his back to Duncan, and suddenly his left foot suddenly rotated diagonally across his body, changed hands under his crotch to dribble, handed back his right hand, and took a big stride with his right foot, and his upper body leaned forward sharply.
Chamberlain's feints were very realistic, which made Duncan reflexively choose to retreat and break through without gaining a firm foothold. However, Chamberlain's right foot suddenly recovered at this moment, his left foot bent upright, and at the same time, his feet jumped high, and his hands had already raised the ball high, and when Duncan was about to jump up to block it, he saw the basketball fly overhead.
The crisp sound of the basket ringing in Duncan's ears immediately afterward.
Ginobili forced his way into the three-point line from Ray Allen, plunged headlong into Chamberlain's arms and passed to Duncan, who jumped 45 degrees to hit the board and hit a shot.
In the counterattack, Chamberlain kept shaking Duncan, snapped a ground pass, and Ray Allen, who ran out of the empty position on the left side of the three-point line, received the ball and made a quick three-point shot.
In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 99-89, and the bloody facts once again proved that the Spurs were really not suitable for chasing points, and in the last three minutes of the game, seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, Popovich replaced the bench. In the new season, the SuperSonics have rarely completed a double kill for their nemesis, the Spurs.
In this game, Duncan scored 37 points and 16 rebounds, but the two helpers were too high. For the SuperSonics, Chamberlain had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and Ray Allen once again scored a high 39 points.
You can't let teams like the SuperSonics, Suns, and Warriors play smoothly, and if they meet the Buddha and kill the Buddha, God blocks and kills the God. Three days later, the Dallas Mavericks, who had come from afar, were slaughtered at the Key Arena.
The Mavericks are very similar to the supersonic players, the point guard is Jason Terry, who has not yet transformed into a quarterback, the scoring guard Daniels, the small forward Finley, the power forward Nowitzki, and the center is the second Dampier in the universe who has just opened his mouth.
The Mavericks actually played well, they were defeated by the supersonic nonsensical three-point rain. At the beginning of the game, the two supersonic musketeers showed a strong desire to score, running frantically to tear apart the Mavericks' defense compared to the Spurs, coupled with Chamberlain's dedication to the organization, the third quarter opened up a 23-point difference, bringing the fourth quarter into garbage time.
At the end of this game, the SuperSonics extended their winning streak to 17 games, further stabilizing the first place in the league. With a continuous high score of 40+ and quasi-40, Lei Yi Allen surpassed the repeated *** Kobe, Iverson, and Standudemire in one fell swoop, and temporarily became the league's scoring champion.
It is worth mentioning that Chamberlain, with an average of 9.3 assists per game, beats all league point guards except Nash, and is ironically ranked second on the assists list.
Is there a better point guard than Chamberlain?
The New York Times made a front-page headline in their December 10 issue with a big question mark.
"The most efficient combination, Lei and Zhang's dominance is suspicious!"
The elder Fagan was not willing to be lonely, and once again wrote a special report for Chamberlain.
"Previously, I always thought that there would be no rookie who would be able to help the team transform the team in their rookie season like 'Magic' until Chang came along. Some people may say that this is his second season, so okay, click on the 03-04 playoff video, and we will find a very funny-looking possibility, without Zhang, the Spurs may not have made it past the second round. So, we can say this: Zhang is the culprit who led to the disintegration of the OK group......
It's hard to imagine that the Spurs management, who have always been shrewd, are not willing to pay a middle-class salary for such a player, not to mention the Asian market behind him, and not to mention the huge potential he has already shown, isn't a championship worth millions of dollars?
For most people, that may be a lot of money, but it is absolutely impossible to buy a scoring champion, and I don't think anyone denies Zhang's great help to Lei, the honor of scoring champion, which is very far away from a shooter, even if that person is recognized as the greatest scorer Reggie Miller......
Averaging 59 points, 11 rebounds and 9 rebounds per game, the Seattle duo has already shown great dominance, and Zhang is still in the growth stage of his career, and the possibilities are endless. Therefore, there is reason to believe that as long as the SuperSonics management is willing to offer a tempting big contract, they will become a lingering nightmare for other teams in the next few years, just like the ok of the past tense......"
