Chapter 360: The enemy advances and I retreat
One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
One offense was broken, one shot was missed, and two consecutive offenses were frustrated, and the morale of the Trail Blazers took a big hit.
The score of the two teams was 11-4, and the Trail Blazers attacked.
Because Clyde Drexler suffered a series of setbacks in this attack, point guard Rod Strickland deliberately avoided Clyde Drexler after dribbling past half court again.
At the same time, Clyde Drexler himself knew that his poor performance had made his teammates start to question him, so he did not stubbornly ask his teammates to pass the ball to him.
Seeing the Rockets' interior emptiness, point guard Rod Strickland took Kenny Smith's close defense and rushed to the basket with the basket.
Bursting into the box, point guard Rod Strickland made a quick stop to get rid of Kenny Smith before breaking through the Rockets' defense with a ground-hitting pass.
Harvey Grant, a shooting guard in the back row, accurately received a ground-hitting pass from point guard Rod Strickland, and made a flying layup to score the ball.
The score of the two teams was 11-6, and the Trail Blazers tied for two points.
Clyde Drexler couldn't have been happier to see his team score. Clyde Drexler knew that he was at an absolute disadvantage in the battle for the first quarterback against the Dragons. If you don't do anything, the title of first quarterback will officially change hands when this game is over.
At this moment, the players of the two teams are facing each other -- Otis Thorpe vs. Cleverford Robinson, Robert Horry vs. Buck Williams, Ryuzheng vs. Clyde Drexler, Vernon Maxwell vs. Harvey Grant, Kenny Smith vs. Rod Strickland.
In the face of the Trail Blazers' mature defensive formation, the Rockets, who lost Olajuwon, can only rely on Long Zheng's personal ability to constantly impact the Trail Blazers' defense.
Returning to the team urgently before the playoffs, Long Zheng and his teammates had no tacit understanding, which was destined to be the only one who could rely on himself when Long Zheng attacked; The NBA now prohibits joint defense, and Clyde Drexler can only rely on his individual ability to defend the dragon government alone.
The NBA advocates individual heroism in solitary combat, and a scoring guard who is not strong in single ability has absolutely no chance of getting involved in the NBA's first quarterback.
Clyde Drexler understands that when attacking one-on-one, he is deeply limited by Ryuzheng's defense; In a one-on-one defense, if you can't defend against Long Zheng, then the battle for the first quarterback can be decided.
His eyes froze, and Clyde Drexler's attention was highly focused. Seeing Ryuzheng coming to the frontcourt, Clyde Drexler immediately stuck to it and defended him closely, even though Ryuzheng was running without the ball.
The basketball game is changing rapidly, but Long Zheng has the ability to judge the trend of the game. Sensing Clyde Drexler's unusually terrifying aura, Ryuzheng knew that this attack would be difficult.
When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy retreats, when the enemy retreats, when the enemy is stationed, I disturb, and when the enemy is tired, I fight.
Now that he knows that Clyde Drexler is in full swing, Long Zheng will not be stupid to confront it head-on, and decisively choose "the enemy advances and I retreat".
After receiving a basketball from point guard Kenny Smith, Ryu-jeong first defended the ball and looked for an opportunity.
Seeing six ways and listening to all directions, seeing scoring guard Vernon Maxwell running without the ball and throwing off his defender Harvey Grant to get the open space, Long Zheng passed the ball decisively.
When the ball arrived, Ryu-jeong's pass found Vernon Maxwell. Comfortably receiving the basketball, Vernon Maxwell hit a long-range shot.
The East is not bright and the West is bright, and with Vernon Maxwell's open shot, the score came to 14:6.
------
Ryu-jung's pass assist caught Clyde Drexler off guard. Clyde Drexler couldn't figure out why Ryu-jeong chose to pass instead of break head-on.
In Clyde Drexler's view, Ryuzheng's actions were no different from deserters.
The reason is that there is an essential difference between the two people's views on the game.
Clyde Drexler is about to enter the late stage of his career, and he is very important about personal gains and losses without winning a championship, and another time, Clyde Drexler left the Trail Blazers for many years for a championship ring and switched to the Rockets.
Faced with the challenge of Ryuzheng, Clyde Drexler was tense and red-eyed. Just like a child who protects a toy, he can't say anything and let Ryuzheng steal his only honor -- the first quarterback.
Long Zheng is different, he has just started his career, and he is not burdened by fame. Any result is a huge surprise for him, it is the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter.
Regarding the battle for the NBA's No. 1 point guard exaggerated by the outside world, Long Zheng smiled indifferently and didn't take it to heart. This is in stark contrast to Clyde Drexler.
He is strong by him, and the breeze blows on the hills. He is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river. Ryuzheng's "no desire, no desire" made Clyde Drexler hate it to the bitter end.
or breaking, or passing, or organizing, or shooting, or running without the ball, Long Zheng is very comfortable on the offensive end; Clyde Drexler, on the other hand, is an offensive terminal that needs to control the ball, and his ability to organize attacks and pass assists is really poor.
As a small forward and also a shooting guard, Clyde Drexler excels at riding alone rather than passing, so Clyde Drexler tends to play hard when he encounters players of his level, and he doesn't have many offensive options.
If there is no ball, Clyde Drexler will have no presence on the court, but after having the ball, Clyde Drexler will only face the dragon government, and he is only willing to choose the path of fighting alone.
------
After Vernon Maxwell hit a shot, the Trail Blazers went on offense.
A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Clyde Drexler was on his own close guard just now, but Long Zheng remembered it clearly, although he received an assist, Long Zheng still wanted to score in person.
After power forward Buck Williams served on the sideline, Ryuzheng immediately stuck to Clyde Drexler and pressed him to defend it all over the court. Maintaining the moment of the gods, maintaining 100% peak condition, Ryuzheng's full-court pressing overwhelmed Clyde Drexler.
Seeing Clyde Drexler's unfavorable form, point guard Kenny Smith could only continue to bypass the team's ace point guard Kenny Smith and choose other offensive lines.
Center Clifford Robinson, power forward Buck Williams, and shooting guard Harvey Grant held the ball, and point guard Kenny Smith's eyes kept sweeping over the three.
Center Clifford Robinson suddenly stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, and scoring guard Harvey Grant took the opportunity to break away from the defender. After receiving a pass from point guard Kenny Smith, scoring guard Harvey Grant made a hasty shot.
The basketball bounced off the hoop and was caught by Otis Thorpe.
Got defensive rebounds, the two teams were easy to attack and defend, the Rockets attacked, and the Trail Blazers defended. At this moment, the score on the court remained at 14:6, and the Rockets led by eight points. (To be continued.) )
