Chapter 321: I Still Have a Nickname Jerry (Monthly Pass 1500 Plus Change)
The game had just started, because the interior combination of the Trail Blazers was Big Ben and the driver.
The two were not good at the jump ball, allowing the Suns to get their first offensive possession......
Kidd controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, looking at Ange's interior arrangement, the fool also knew that their team was mainly inside.
Even if Kidd is quite young at the moment, his passing ability is enough to be called a master......
A high lob was easily hoisted into Tom's hands.
Tom was the Timberwolves' starting center last season, partnering Garnett to form the Timberwolves' interior line, but he didn't play much with Big Ben.
In the playoffs, Tom was injured and did not play in the playoffs, and in the regular season against the Trail Blazers, he was against Xiao Ao, not Big Ben......
This led to his lack of an objective understanding of Big Ben's defensive strength.
Having just received Kidd's high lob ball, Tom turned around rather elegantly, ready to score points on the big book......
"Smack!" With a muffled sound, Big Ben jumped high and directly rewarded Tom with a volleyball hat!
Because the force was so terrifying, the ball flew directly to the Suns' bench and smashed into Angie's leg.
Anji was chatting happily with the assistant coach, and he didn't pay attention to the situation on the field at all, and was directly taken aback at the moment.
When he knew that it was his own player's shot that was blocked, his face was a little ugly......
……
Tom's shot is quite chic and elegant, and the big book is even more chic and elegant.
"You know what? Tom, I have a nickname Jerry......" Big Ben laughed.
Tom's face turned pale, and he told himself that the ball just now was just his carelessness to underestimate the enemy, and if he did it again, he would definitely be able to score points on the big book.
……
is still the ball of the Suns, this time Kidd did not dare to continue to pass the ball to Tom, because the Trail Blazers' Jerry is too deterrent, if Tom is rewarded with a volleyball hat again, it is estimated that Tom will become a joke in the basketball circle for nearly a month.
Because of the main inside line, Kidd passed the ball to Luke Longley again.
Tom lacks an objective understanding of Big Ben's defense, but this is not the case with Luke Longley, who is simply not too familiar with Big Ben......
Seeing Big Ben sitting in the forbidden area, he was quite uncomfortable.
If Rodman was there, he would still be able to help him call Ben......
After receiving the ball in the middle, Luke Longley played a back-to-back single, which was pretty much the only attacking tool he excelled at.
He did have a bit of a basket, but the shooting percentage was terrible, far less than that of his back......
Just look at his average shooting distance, 4.5 feet, which is a little better than a pure basket player like O'Neal.
Nowitzki immediately pushed up to Luke Longley's back, trying to resist Luke Longley's back hit.
But at present, the tonnage and strength of the old driver, compared with the inside line of a giant meat shield like Luke Longley, the gap is too big, and he has been pushed back again and again.
Luke Longley was overjoyed, and one more step at the top of the table was almost to his most comfortable shooting point, and the ball could be scored by himself!
As soon as the thought arose, he only felt that his hands were empty, and the basketball he had slapped did not return to his hands......
Big Ben didn't know when, he rushed out from behind, bent down to break the ball, and then passed it to Mobley not far away!
The latter was as fast as lightning, and there was a powerful slam dunk in the front court of the Suns.
……
Big Ben is all too familiar with Luke Longlee, who usually plays with his back after receiving the ball in the middle, after all, this is his only attacking method.
At the moment when he started to beat Nowitzki with his back, Big Ben had already left Tom behind and was ready to make a steal on Luke Longley.
Coupled with the reason that the center of gravity of the dribble is too high, it is quite easy for the big book to grab.
Luke Longley conceded the most goals in the league with his back......
……
In the first round of the opening game, the Suns' two attacks were in vain, allowing Big Ben to get a block and a steal.
The key Suns didn't score, and it also gave the Trail Blazers' rookie guard a chance to dunk in an empty position!
This is simply unbearable for Kidd!
This is their first preseason game of the season, he naturally doesn't want to lose, although he doesn't think this lineup can do anything big in the west, but as a strong man, he must have considerable confidence in his ability, and he is confident that he will take this lineup to compete with the western giants!
……
It's the Suns' offensive round again.
After Kidd got to the front court with the ball, he suddenly discovered a rather fatal problem.
Who should I pass this ball to......
Go singles yourself?! His nickname that he didn't vote for was a wasted name.
Keep passing to those two centers on the inside?! It's better to vote for it yourself......
Danny Manning? No, this guy doesn't have the slightest three-point ability.
After thinking about it, Kidd suddenly found that it seemed that Chapman had become the only outside output point for his team!
I panicked, I really panicked in my heart......
This is still a joke, Chapman can be the main point of attack on the team's outside, can the Suns still be saved?!
……
In desperation, Kidd passed to Chapman, who was lucky enough to hit a three-pointer against the defense of the short old cat Mobley.
Kidd breathed a sigh of relief, the result was still quite exciting, at least three points.
"Man, I'll switch guards with you......"
"I'll defend against Chapman, and you'll defend against Kidd."
Bryant smiled and said to Mobley......
I don't know if Kobe Bryant feels that it is not challenging to defend the base, or if he wants to help the newcomer, anyway, he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of defending Chapman.
Richard watched and nodded his head from the sidelines, which is the first manifestation of leadership......
To be honest, Richard doesn't know what will become of Kobe Bryant in the end.
When he first came to his staff, Kobe Bryant was only less than eighteen years old, and what Richard did had no effect on Kobe Bryant at all, it was certainly impossible.
At least this kind of change of guard just now, on the body of normal Kobe, of course it may be changed, but it is impossible for him to look like a smile......
More likely, he yelled at rookie Mobley and then took over the responsibility of defending Chapman.
……
With Chapman hitting a three-pointer, Angie also relaxed a little, 3:2 in the lead, what is there to worry about.
But then, Anji's nightmare began......
First, Kobe Bryant assisted Nowitzki to hit a long-range two-pointer, then he blocked Chapman's three-pointer, and after Big Ben grabbed the defensive rebound, he was beaten into a three-point by Harrington, a newcomer to the Trail Blazers!
And that's not all......
Next, the Suns seemed to be collectively dumb off, unable to find the rhythm of scoring at all, and hit the iron one after another.
On the other hand, the Trail Blazers have begun to play on the rise, Kobe Bryant has assisted Nowitzki, Harrington and Mobley one after another, and the projection ability of these three is quite good, all kinds of flowers, and the Trail Blazers' scores are rising.
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the timeout whistle.
Anji couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to call a timeout......
In just four minutes of the opening game, the Suns were already 10 points behind!
15:5!
For four minutes, the Suns only had Chapman hit a three-pointer and Danny Manning hit a mid-range shot, and nothing else scored!
