Chapter 31: Rajabel

As a league powerhouse in recent years, the players on the team have very rich game experience, and when they attack again, Payton does not entangle too much with Raga, but seeks stability, hands the ball to the inside, and allows the SuperSonics to score 2 points through Lewis's mid-range shot, which makes the SuperSonics score not 0.

The supersonic power forward is Rashad Lewis, who is only a sophomore this year, and is the least experienced player in the SuperSonics' starting five, and Lewis's offense is a bit outward, and he also has a three-point shot, which is why Andy chose Wang Zhizhi after the failure of trading Lewis. Lewis shot in the middle, Xiao Ao and Rodman immediately switched, Xiao Ao is very good in physical talent, not only fast movement, large range of movement, but also fast bullet speed, in the face of Lewis, Xiao Ao can limit the opponent very well.

Rodman stayed under the basket and played against Wenbeck. At this stage, Rodman plays more by experience, less brute force, and now he pays more attention to preventing injuries and saving physical strength, which plays a key role in whether he can persist until the late stage of the league, after all, there are 82 regular season games in the NBA every year, which will be a long process, and Rodman is 38 years old. Rodman, who doesn't bump into Wenbeck, is more of a harassment and a card position, but Wenbeck is no longer at his peak, his body's nerve center has been damaged by alcoholism, his body's reaction has problems, and the weight of his fat has also affected his bounce, in the face of Rodman's harassment, and Xiao Ao, who is ready to help defend at any time, Wenbeck is not playing very well, and the Supersonic team is in trouble.

And the Clippers are playing vigorously, Tiger has opened the offensive mode in this game, Coach Fitch has given him unlimited shooting rights in this game, not without reason, and the supersonic counterpoint, Tiger has an absolute advantage against Brent, and Tiger's offensive success at this point is also greater, although later, the SuperSonics team changed defenses, and Payton defended Tiger, but the effect was still not great, Payton used too much energy on the offensive end of the whole game, and he couldn't invest more in defense.

This year's Clippers team has added a lot of newcomers, and the Spurs have played a game, allowing people to see the sharp offense of Ginobili. The Lakers' first battle made people see the difficult defense of Bruce Bowen. The first battle of the Heat made everyone know Wang Zhizhi, a tough guy who spilled blood on the court. Today's game with the SuperSonics brought you another outside defensive warrior - Ragabel.

Ragabel, born on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, during his college years, he did not receive an invitation from a university, and his performance in college was also average, graduated from college in four years, participated in the 99 draft, and was selected by the Clippers with a trade from the Jazz in the last place in the second round, in fact, Raga understood his situation before the draft began, he was very surprised that he could be selected, before coming to the Clippers, as a 2-round pick, he was ready to be cut, But the Clippers surprised him on July 1, a guaranteed professional contract, which he had never dared to think of before.

The experience has always made Ragabel feel inferior, followed the team's rookies to play in the summer league, and returned to Los Angeles, Ragabel met Tiger at the Clippers' training gym HSD When he was in college, he knew Tiger, Tiger was too dazzling at that time, he ruled the NCAA with Wake Forest, and Laga was just a role player who couldn't participate in March Madness, Tiger was in the hearts of their group of college players, just like Jordan, and the moment he saw Tiger, Rajabel was excited, There was a sense of excitement at seeing their idols, and Tiger HSD welcomed them and hugged him, which made Rajabel intoxicated for a long time.

Subsequent training and life in the Clippers, let him know Tiger HSD, Tiger told the inferiority of Raga, everyone's basketball talent is limited, unlimited is their own efforts, and encouraged Raga not to be too obsessed with offense, in the NBA defense is a very critical part of the team, Tiger encouraged Raga began to work hard to improve his defense according to the coach's requirements, Raga Bell's offensive talent is really limited, but the defensive talent is very good. The team's Bruce Bowen and Jackson often discuss their defensive experience with him in training, and the game against the Lakers, Bowen's performance made him see the light, just like Tiger said, in the NBA defense can really get out of their own day, with this recognition, Raga worked hard to train, waiting for his opportunity, a chance for everyone to know him.

Now this opportunity has appeared, this home game and SuperSonics, for some reason, he was placed in the starting lineup, facing the league's All-Star point guard, Gary Payton, after the game started, he tried to calm his mood, according to the coach's deployment, followed Gary Payton, the whole game Raga and Payton were almost the same as above, he was in the game, Raga Belle completed his task brilliantly, and only allowed Payton to score 8 points in the whole game.

8 points! What does an 8-point score mean in an NBA game? It's going to be different for different people, but if it's a player like Rajabel, it's a good performance. But for an All-Star point guard like Gary Payton, it is unthinkable, and Ragabel used his defense to make the league once again shift its attention to the Clippers and make people start to remember his name - Raga Bell.

The game ended with the Clippers winning, and when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Gary Payton walked into the tunnel with a black face, and the game was a shame for him, whether it was the pre-game clash with Rodman or the fact that he was restricted by a rookie on the other side during the game, it made him lose face, and at the same time, he also remembered a name, the rookie who defended him, Ragabel.

At the end of the match, Tiger was the man of the match. 38 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds, this data rarely appears in Tiger this year, this year's Tiger has dropped a lot in scoring, but no expert believes that this is his problem, Tiger's assists per game averaged 13.2, ranking in the top 3 on the assist list, his role now in the Clippers is more like a playmaker, using his breakthrough to create better offensive opportunities for his teammates, more like a scoring guard than Loops, in terms of points per game, higher than Tiger, and also won the best game in many games.
