Chapter 37

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Coach Dunleavy of the Trail Blazers sent Sabonis on the court to limit Jermaine O'Neal's offense, and the Trail Blazers also made two interior offenses through the lob, but Jermaine O'Neal quickly adjusted, excellent physical talent, so that Jermaine O'Neal is different from other NBA centers, continuous and fast bounce ability, flexible footwork, coupled with arm span, so that Jermaine O'Neal once again limited the Trail Blazers' inside passing route.

The score was enlarged a little bit again, and the old Coach Dunleavy really regretted it this time, he should have kept Jermaine O'Neal strongly, Jermaine O'Neal's talent is good, which Coach Dunleavy has always valued, but the Trail Blazers have Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace, which can't give him more playing time and room to grow.

At the beginning, the manager of the Trail Blazers looked down on Andy Smith, the manager of the Clippers who had just taken office, because Andy was too young, had no experience at all, and looked like a second ancestor, so he was pitted by Andy without a trace of defense, and it is estimated that after this game, the manager of the Trail Blazers can really realize how stupid the original decision was, and the Trail Blazers are estimated to no longer do business with the Clippers in the future.

The performance of the main lineup was restricted again, and the old Dunleavy understood that the general trend of this game had gone, so he reluctantly replaced the substitute players and surrendered and admitted defeat. The Clippers did not chase after him, replaced the main team, and let the team's marginal characters also go on the court to feel the atmosphere of the game, Jermaine O'Neal was obviously in a good mood, he finally raised his eyebrows in front of his old club, sat on the bench, and began to fight with Rodman, which is a unique mode of getting along with the two of them.

The final score of the game was 102:90, and the Clippers won by 12 points, which was not a high score, and the key was that in the long garbage time, the bench players on both sides were constantly playing iron.

After the game against the Trail Blazers, the Clippers flew to Seattle overnight, and they have a back-to-back game against the SuperSonics the next day, which will be the final game of the Clippers' road trip, after which they will return to Los Angeles.

The next morning, when the whole Clippers team was still asleep, all major newspapers in the United States were reporting in detail, their game yesterday, NBA experts and celebrities, interpreted the game process in detail, and the Clippers' tactics were very simple. Around the front + joint defense, as long as you have learned professional basketball knowledge, you can understand it, but the tactic of joint defense, which appeared in the NBA game for the first time, still brought shock to people, and often the first person to eat crabs will always get attention.

The concept of double winding forward has been mentioned many times, the previous team in the absence of O'Neal, this kind of strong center, in the face of a giant center like Sabonis, can only use the package tactics, but the Clippers have found another way, choosing to cut off the passing route, this approach has been highly praised, known as a change that can change the rule of the center.

With this game, the Clippers became the focus, and the Clippers' Jermaine O'Neal was also remembered by fans across the United States. From a talented player in high school, to a 3-year unknown bench career for the Trail Blazers, and then to the new rise of the Clippers, the road in the middle is actually not short, and Jermaine O'Neal was finally recognized by the United States through his own efforts.

Jermaine O'Neal, who was proud of the spring breeze in Seattle, continued to maintain his good form and helped the team win the game again. The game was uneventful. After the game began, in the cheers of the home fans, and the Clippers played against each other, Payton played more decisively in the face of Rajabier's defense in this game, although the score was still not much, but he sent a lot of second passes. It's just that Wenbeck is no longer the previous Wenbeck, the All-Star inside, when he was playing, with a pungent smell of alcohol, obviously before the game, he had drunk a lot, in the face of such a Wenbeck, Jermaine O'Neal did not give the other party any chance, forced the inside, and achieved a double-double of 36 points and 18 rebounds, which is his highest score in a single game so far after he entered the NBA.

One of the interior strength is the weakness of the Clippers, but in this game, the Clippers once again won the confrontation on the inside. 'Whoever gets the inside line, gets the world!' This sentence may not be entirely true, but it is normal for the supersonic speed to be blown up on the inside. At 123:110, the Clippers left the SuperSonics with a strong performance of 4 consecutive wins on the road, and in the record standings, with a record of 15 wins and 4 losses, they are high in the third place in the West, and only the Lakers and Trail Blazers are in front of them.

On the Clippers' plane back to Los Angeles, Rodman lamented Tiger's depravity to Tiger. "Boy, see it! Sometimes there is no need for a reason for the fall of a player, and some old players who have been in the league for a long time will slowly fall and disappear from people's vision because they can't stand the temptation. ”

"So it's a good habit for me not to drink, don't seduce me in the future." Tiger understood Rodman's words, but he probably broke through.

"Boy, you know that's not what I'm talking about."

"So what do you want to say? Jason? Andy has figured out that Jason just had some emotional problems because of the breakup, and he was able to recover quickly, and there is nothing wrong with this. Tiger has always been reluctant to accept Rodman's arguments and to believe that Jason will really have a problem.

"Do you really think it's that simple?"

"It's meant to be simple. I know Jason, we've known each other for a long time. Dennis! I understand what you're trying to say, but I don't believe it's Jason's dream since he was a kid to become a basketball superstar, he won't give up on his own, it's all too common to fall out of love. ”

Rodman shook his head and didn't say any more, he recently paid special attention to the Nuggets game, Jason Green has lost himself, he has seen a lot of this kind of player, he originally wanted to use the matter of Wenbeck to make Tiger mentally prepared, but Tiger's stubbornness made him not know how to continue, so he could only terminate the conversation.

In the wee hours of the morning, the Clippers' plane landed in Los Angeles, and Bill Fitch disbanded the team after announcing a day off. After consecutive away games, the players were also tired and went home to rest.
