In the first five minutes of the first quarter, although Nowitzki also appeared, Kobe Bryant had been scoring with Iverson, so he didn't have the heart to pass the ball to Nowitzki.

After Richard's second timeout, Nowitzki directly became the protagonist on the Trail Blazers' side.

Bryant became a true point guard, and after the ball was in the frontcourt, he passed the ball directly to Nowitzki, who was on the off chance of Rashid to shoot or make a three-pointer.

Although the hit rate is not particularly high, even if it is an ordinary hit rate, in this kind of intensive shooting situation, the score is skyrocketing.

Richard sat on the court and nodded with satisfaction, he was not worried that the team would lose, because the 76ers' interior rebounding ability, after all, is a huge gap compared to the Trail Blazers.

Oakley's rebounding prowess in his prime.

Although he has never won the honor of rebounding king in his career, he has one statistic that crowns the league, that is, the single-game rebounding king of the NBA after 85 years!

In 87-88, Oakley's last season with the Bulls, when he was only a third-grader, turned out that this guy exploded in the game against the Cavaliers that season, with 26 points and 35 rebounds, including 16 frontcourt rebounds in those 35 rebounds!

And these 35 rebounds are the highest single-game rebounding record since 85 years, even if there are rebounding masters such as Rodman, Barkley, and Mutombo, no one can break this record.

……

But this was more than ten years ago, and Oakley is now old, and it is really impossible to cut such a data......

Judging from the performance on the court, Oakley's rebounding strength is not to mention that compared to Big Ben, even Xiao Ao's rebounding ability is better than the current Oakley.

As for Philadelphia 76ers' other blocker Ratlief, not to mention the rebounding strength, the scum is very scummy.

The Trail Blazers have a considerable advantage in rebounding, so even if the offensive firepower from the outside is slightly weak, there is no need to worry about losing......

Of course, you can't be too weak, and if you are too weak, even if you rebound well, you may not be able to win.

The one who wins the rebound wins the world, this sentence has a prerequisite, either your rebounding is in an absolute crushing advantage, or your rebounding advantage is not big compared to the opponent, but the two sides are almost the same, so that you can win the world.

……

The players on both sides fought fiercely on the field, and Richard watched it with relish.

At present, Nowitzki's golden rooster independence skills have naturally been developed under the guidance of Richard.

In fact, without Richard's guidance, Nowitzki's unique style of play has begun to try the Golden Rooster independence.

Those who often watch the old driver play know that when he shoots, he basically doesn't have much jump height, which is basically a little higher than the height of Yao Ming's matchbox......

And because he's not the kind of player who runs open to catch the ball, he faces the opponent's frontal block defense with every shot.

The key Nowitzki is a real big forward position, and Rashid or Robinson is not the same, the players who defend Nowitzki are all big forward players who are tall on the other side, and it is conceivable that if you don't take some action, the chance of being blocked is still not small.

If you don't have a jump height, don't run in position, and don't want to be blocked by your opponent, a backward shot is a pretty good choice.

Kobe Bryant, Jordan, these players, why can they ignore the defense to shoot, they themselves have good jumping ability and height is one reason, another important reason is the back......

Nowitzki has absorbed the shooting characteristics of this type of backcourt player, and basically uses a backward stance every time he shoots.

But now the question is, there is no jump height at all, how to lean back?

A straight and straight back like Jordan and Kobe?

There is no doubt that after Nowitzki leans back and shoots, he will definitely not be able to stand, and it is very likely that he will fall.

If you don't believe me, you can try it, jumping back and standing back, that's definitely not the same thing......

Leaning back in the air, at least there is still a little time to adjust the balance of the body before landing, but Nowitzki's jump height is not enough to adjust the balance of the body at all.

What should I do in this case?

Only the leg that is not the pillar can be used to adjust the balance of the body......

The principle can probably be understood as the balance bar in the wire rope acrobatics, and the old driver's leg plays this role.

……

Later, when it was used, this leg was not only used as a balance bar, but also played a role in opening up the opponent's space, after all, if you kicked one leg, if the opponent rashly came up to block, it would be too common to be kicked.

When the old driver attacked, he kicked the opponent's balls, and this kind of thing happened many times......

It's just that his kicking is not quite the same as the kicking of the egg chasing Green in later generations, and there is still a big difference between the two.

……

There is no doubt that the independence of the Golden Rooster is definitely Nowitzki's signature offensive skill, and it is not impossible to say that Nowitzki has relied on this trick for his entire career.

This is a typical trick that is fresh and eaten all over the world......

Rebounding, defense, and scoring on the inside, Nowitzki is not good at it, and it's not a trick that eats all over the world.

Now that Richard has guided Nowitzki to start using the Golden Rooster for independence, he basically doesn't have to worry about Nowitzki, and with this trick, Nowitzki's future growth will not be much worse.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Nowitzki and Dazhi on the field are directly opposed, and the duel between Kobe and Iverson has already been transferred to the driver Dazhi.

At present, Dazhi's characteristic is that he is fast, at least much faster than Nowitzki, and with the speed being faster than Nowitzki, he can get some opportunities to shoot in the open space.

Nowitzki, on the other hand, is more like an old tractor, not in a hurry, after receiving Kobe's pass, he dribbles twice to find a shot point that he feels comfortable with, and then the golden rooster shoots independently.

This alternative way of attacking, Dazhi is also completely useless......

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Richard was quite satisfied with Nowitzki's performance in the first half, and the shooting rate was not as high as Dazhi, but because the Trail Blazers rebounded a lot, the driver made slightly more shots than Dazhi......

He shot 7-of-14, including 2-of-4 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.

Scored 18 points in the half!

14 shots, in exchange for 18 points scored, there is nothing to brag about, but at least more than half of the task has been completed in the first half, and Richard is still quite satisfied.

Dazhi's performance was better than Nowitzki's, because Nowitzki's defense was not very good, so Dazhi played well.
