Chapter 112: The Golden Generation of Pioneers
In addition to Monta, who is on vacation to recuperate? Ellis, everyone else is here, the atmosphere is good, and old Nelson is very satisfied.
Stephen? Of course, Jackson as the captain also needs to find Zach? Randolph talked, and it turned out that the communication was better than expected, and it was not at all like a cancer that ruined the harmony of the dressing room. Randolph will be on the pitch tomorrow and vowing to prove himself with a win. But in the end, I still have to play the game to find out.
After the party, Zhou Xuan sent Nie Yuyan back to school.
Before entering the dormitory, Nie Yuyan smiled and said, "I'm very happy tonight, Xie Lu, thank you for asking me to join the party." ”
"Really?"
"Of course, celebrities who used to only be seen on TV were very kind to me, and I'm much more fun now than I was when I first came to the United States."
There were still people pestering Nie Yuyan at school before, but since she heard that she was Zhou Xuan's boyfriend, no one beat her up anymore. Jackson knew a gang of underworld gangsters in Oakland, and the few young people who followed him also came to Oakland to do business locally, and Jackson was notoriously righteous, who would dare to provoke his brother's girlfriend? Nie Yuyan is about to become an eldest sister at school, and Zhou Xuan didn't expect this.
"I'm also glad that you're willing to be my girlfriend." Zhou Xuan smiled.
The two are affectionate and concubines, after all, they are thin-skinned people, and there are no more intimate actions, but the relationship has been narrowed.
The next morning the team practiced, Zach? Randolph's performance got everyone excited.
Randolph's low-post offense was almost unsolvable, Biedrins, Brandon? Wright, Anthony? Randolph's defense is like a cloud to him, relying on his strong body, he can go straight to the deep position in the three-second zone, and the ball is a two-point turn. As soon as he received the ball from outside the three-second zone, the defender was a little further away from him, and he made a jumper with a soft touch. Close defense, he can arch his back into the penalty area, arch to a comfortable position and turn around for a jumper. Only Turiaf can limit him by his height and weight, and Randolph can still pull a jump shot after blocking and dismantling, and Turyav can only stare dryly if he changes guards to break through.
Randolph is really not a data brush on the offensive end, and ordinary people can't do anything about him.
In fact, his attacking talent has been shown very early. When the Mavericks led the Trail Blazers 3-0 in the playoffs that year, they were almost overturned by this fat man who played on the bench and created a miracle. What if the original Trail Blazers coach wasn't so obsessed with letting Rashid? Wallace starts, believe Randolph earlier, and that series will end differently!
In the first game, Nowitzki scored 46 points and 11 rebounds to beat "Roaring Tianzun" Rashid? Wallace, Mavericks big win. Randolph came off the bench to score four points on 2-of-2 shooting.
Second Trail Blazers Bunch? Wells exploded and scored 45 points, setting a single-game scoring record for his playoff career, and the scores between the two sides have been tight. The game was tied in the first half minute, and then Nash stepped up and took out the Trail Blazers with a three-pointer and two free throws. Nowitzki had 26 points and nine rebounds, Wallace had 18 points and three rebounds, and Randolph came off the bench for 10 minutes without scoring.
In the third game, Nowitzki slashed 42 points and 10 rebounds, Wallace only had 11 points and 5 rebounds, and the Trail Blazers lost again. After three games, the Trail Blazers coaching staff was already certain that Wallace was no match for Nowitzki, and it was like running into a nemesis, which gave Randolph a chance, and he played 22 minutes off the bench, scoring 8 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Trail Blazers trailed 3-0 and everyone thought they were going to be swept home, and the Trail Blazers started Randolph, who finished with 25 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists, and the Trail Blazers beat the Mavericks by a few points. This is also the first time he has shown his star appearance.
In the fifth game, the Trail Blazers continued their efforts, and the veteran Sabonis made a quasi-final shot, and Randolph had 22 points and 9 rebounds. The limelight completely overshadowed Wallace, who relied on his body to suppress Nowitzki.
In the sixth game, Randolph had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and Nowitzki was confused by him on the defensive end, his brain was dizzy, and he lost all his hands on the offensive end. He scored just four points on 2-of-11 shooting, didn't make any free throws, and didn't grab a single rebound. The Trail Blazers led by more than 30 points at the end of the third quarter and beat the Mavericks by a big margin.
Just when people thought the Mavericks were going to be the first team to fall behind 3-0 in the playoffs, Game 7 changed dramatically. The Trail Blazers led three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, the madman Fan? Excel came up and hit four shots in a row, and then Nash and Dirk collectively played chicken blood, how to shoot, how to shoot, and the shooting rate reached 76%, the Trail Blazers suffered a reversal, and Randolph failed to continue to write the magic.
In short, Randolph is very good and has always been a "big killer" on the offensive end. The Warriors don't have to worry about the lack of firepower on the inside, they just need to defend well.
Randolph is definitely going to be fighting in the low post, and it's a little harder than Derins to defend against it. Nelson Sr. talked to Randolph alone at the end of practice, hoping that he could concentrate on defense, and the Warriors offense was actually very strong, and even if he didn't come, he would blow up a lot of teams. The team needs him to defend the interior and protect the backcourt rebounds, and it would be better if he could rush to the frontcourt with Biedrins.
Low-post offense and rebounding are things the coaching staff expects Randolph to do well. Judging from the data, the Warriors' ability to grab rebounds is now firmly in the top three in the league, and only the Los Angeles Lakers have stronger control of rebounds on the inside than them, Paul? Gasol, Andrew? Bynum, Lamar? The Odom trio blew up the league.
The Warriors' opponents, the Trail Blazers, have arrived in Oakland and are actively preparing for the game. In the preseason, the Warriors beat the Trail Blazers, but the Trail Blazers didn't give it their all. They have a bad schedule for the new season, even against strong teams, but against the Spurs, Hornets are only a few small losses, the current 6-4 record is also good, and there is capital to play against any team.
The Trail Blazers are a young team, but the roster is already very strong, and the 11 rookie Jerry? Bayless has not been able to play.
Trail Blazers All-Star Brandon? Roy continues to play at a high level this season and is already a top-five scoring guard in the league.
Starting point guard Steve? Blake is also very consistent, he is very selfless, does not take shots, does not play randomly, shoots steadily, has a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, and is a good role player.
The small forward is the French teenager Nicolas with unlimited potential? Batum, who is very athletic and has a sure shot, has the same shortcomings as Zhou Xuan, is too young and only 19 years old, and his confrontation ability is slightly poor. Zhou Xuan is a point guard, but Batum often has to fight for muscles with the opponent's macho man. The coaching staff asked him to start because they valued his future and wanted him to get the best workout.
Power forward LaMarcus? Aldridge improved quickly last season and has a near-star stat of 18 points and 7 this season. 5 rebounds. His shortcomings are also confrontation, and his playing style is softer, mainly relying on jump shots.
The starting center is Joel? Purzbilla. He doesn't have great offensive skills, and his scoring methods are only secondary layups under the basket and dunks in open positions, making him a typical blue-collar defensive player. He is 216CM tall, and his defensive footsteps under the basket are slow, but with his excellent defensive instincts, he can always jump high where he is needed most, build an air defense net in the paint area, and he is never afraid to fight against the opponent's inner muscle stick in the counterpoint, and the one-on-one counterpoint is very tight.
The Trail Blazers' starting point is to focus on Roy and Aldridge's blocking, Batum and Blake on the outside looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers, and Potzbilla is responsible for defense and rebounding, which is simple and straightforward.
After the start, the Spanish duo Rudy? Fernandez and Sergio? Rodriguez will be the main point grabber, Martel? Webster, Travis? Outlaw is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. Oden's late bench unleashed his attacking power. If he plays as a starter, Roy and Aldridge take up a lot of shots, and he doesn't have many chances.
A lot of people don't understand that Oden is on the bench, but McMillan is actually a smart coach who wants to get the most out of Oden. Of course, it seems stupid to choose the champion to play as a substitute, since it is difficult to get opportunities on the inside, and he can't use good players with Ben, why not just choose Durant in the first place? Then the pioneers are even more terrifying.
The only bad contract on the Trail Blazers is one Reeve? La Frenz. In 2002, after Lafrentz became a free agent, the Nuggets offered him a seven-year, $70 million contract. However, the Nuggets didn't do it for long, and in the middle of that season, they traded Lafrentz to the Mavericks. At the time, he was averaging 14 per game. 9 points and 7. 4 rebounds, which indirectly created the nightmare of Chinese player Wang Zhizhi, who played a significant reduction in playing time until he left Dallas.
In the last six years of his seven-year contract, Lafrentz showed his true colors, averaging double-digit points per game and never averaging more than seven rebounds per game, and the Trail Blazers simply couldn't trade him out of the way. His only role was to free up $14 million in salary space in 2010, when there were plenty of big fish in the free market.
Experts are now generally optimistic that the Trail Blazers will eventually secure a playoff spot, their golden generation, and the players are strong and young, and they may be a strong contender for the championship in two years' time.
Of course, the Warriors did not dare to underestimate their opponents, and made the most detailed arrangements before the game, and scouts sent their materials to everyone. The one who wants revenge the most is of course Randolph, who was robbed of the leadership position by Roy and squeezed out by Aldridge.
And the key to the outcome of this game happens to be Randolph. Margeti's hamstring sprain is an old problem, and it is difficult to guarantee a rash return and may aggravate the injury, so he can only continue to recuperate. Without Margety, the only person who has a clear advantage on the court is Randolph, who is much stronger than Aldridge and is familiar with Aldridge's style of play, having been the big brother of the Trail Blazers for a year.
At the end of the session, Randolph patted his chest and assured the coaching staff. "As long as you pass me the ball, I'll be able to beat Aldridge on the offensive end."
Old Nelson thought about it and decided to arrange tactics for the fat man to try this time.
