Schramf naturally hates this kind of defense, if it was when he was young, it would be fine, but now that he is old, his ability to fight has decreased a lot, which makes him more and more disgusted with physical confrontation.

Schramf didn't expect that D'Antoni would send Herrera on the pitch mainly to deal with him.

Before Herrera came on the court, D'Antoni told Herrera that the defense against Schramf was mainly focused on two points, one was to actively seek physical confrontation, and the other was not to give him an easy shot.

If you really can't do it, then commit a foul, even if you use up the six fouls, but the foul must be hard enough, and it is better to forcibly interrupt the opponent's hand.

At this time, Schramf wanted to break through, but Herrera took the initiative to post it, and his strength was very strong, which made Schramf feel very uncomfortable.

Schramf's body shook visibly, and taking advantage of the opportunity, Ere stretched his hand to make a steal, only to slice a palm into Schramf's ball handler.

The basketball flew out of his hand, Van Exel grabbed the basketball, immediately launched a fast break, and before being entangled by Payton, passed the ball to Billups, who followed up, and the latter scored a layup.

In this process, the referee did not blow the whistle, because when Herrera cut the ball, he just used his body to block the referee's sight, so the referees all subconsciously thought that Herrera was playing on the basketball.

However, Schramf did not suffer a dumb loss, and although the referee will not change the decision, at least let the referee know what Herrera has just done.

Schramf is experienced, his actions are simple, only crying children can eat, and he wants to win the sympathy of the referee and hope to get the 'advantage' in the later time.

After more than a decade of spanning the league, Schramf is very familiar with the art of dealing with referees. Some referees like to have a capable and concise tone, and if they say too much, they may get a technical foul; Some referees like to 'pretend to be deaf and dumb', and if you talk to him, he may not take it seriously, and he will have to repeat it a few times before he can pay attention to you.

In addition, Schramf knows almost all the referees, and after so many years, the temperament of the referees has long been almost touched.

However, when talking to the referee, Schramf also has to observe the referee's expression, if the opponent shows an expression of listening, then continue, but if the opponent shows an impatient expression, then he must stop quickly, otherwise if he continues, he may get a technical foul.

Today's referee was a guy with a serious lack of patience, so Schramf simply reflected on it, and regardless of whether he achieved his goal, he immediately chose to leave.

With the Nuggets defensively, the SuperSonics had problems with their offense, going four straight rounds without scoring.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Nuggets scored six points to overtake the score.

But just when the situation was favorable, the Nuggets had another injury problem, and in a scramble for rebounds, McDyce and Stepania collided and fell to the ground.

Still, Stepania stood up from the ground as if nothing had happened. On the other hand, McDyce, holding his right foot with both hands, showed a painful expression, and squatted there unable to stand up again.

"Team doctor, team doctor!"

D'Antoni looked ugly and hurriedly asked the team doctor to go up for a check-up, and at the same time replaced McDice with Williams, Herrera was promoted to the inside line, and Clark partnered inside.

After the team doctor went up, he quickly instructed the players to help McDyce to the sidelines, and after taking off his sneakers for inspection, he found that the problem was not serious, just a slight contusion, and he could recover in a few days.

That said, McDies couldn't continue to play.

D'Antoni grabbed his tie and gave him a rather irritated look, his expression was unsightly, and he was well aware of the importance of McDyce to the team.

Without McDeis, the team's strength has dropped by at least a notch, and it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to defeat the SuperSonics again.

Shhh

At this time, there were amazing boos at the Pepsi Center, and seeing McDyce injured, it immediately made the fans in the stadium nervous, and they vented their inner dissatisfaction with boos.

It was originally beneficial to the situation of the Nuggets, but now that McDyce is folded, it suddenly makes people feel unreliable.

Unlike the Nuggets, McDyce's unexpected injury made the SuperSonics feel overjoyed, and they were still at a disadvantage, but they didn't expect the opportunity to come, and they thought that the goddess of victory was on their side.

SuperSonics head coach Paul Westfaal, in particular, was even more excited, and looking at the momentum of the game, they had little hope of winning the game.

Now without McDyce, the Nuggets are missing the most consistent offensive point and are bound to reduce their rebounding protection, and their hopes of winning are significantly greater.

After McDyce's injury, Westphale immediately changed his tactics, and he could see that the Nuggets' two interior players did not have the ability to attack independently, so they naturally strengthened their defense on the outside.

Under the targeted defense, the Nuggets' outside offense was obviously contained, either making mistakes or missing shots, and fell into a scoring drought for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the SuperSonics launched a strong offensive attack, especially Payton and Ellis, who combined for eight points in just two minutes to regain the deficit.

Beep~

In this case, D'Antoni had to choose a timeout, and if he didn't score again, it would inevitably seriously affect the morale of the players, so that he could be pulled away in one fell swoop.

So, Chi Liang was sent to the field in advance.

After re-serving, the basketball soon passed to Chi Liang's hands, and at Chi Liang's signal, his teammates began to pull away and give him space to play singles.

Facing the aging Schramf, Chi Liang leaned in, like a spinning top, and quickly turned around to complete the breakthrough.

For Chi Liang's breakthrough, Schramf was helpless, his breakthrough seemed simple, without any fancy moves, nor did he have lightning-like speed and large changes of direction, but it was such a simple action that he easily broke through Schramf.

With Schramf's eyes, it can be seen that Chi Liang has blended skill, timing and awareness to a certain extent, which looks simple on the surface, but in fact it is simple and efficient, without any superfluous movements.

From the launch to the breakthrough, even if Schramf had time to react, he was powerless to stop it because Ji Liang's movements were too smooth.

There is no way, Schramf's body can't support his movements, whether it is strength or speed, there is a clear gap with Chi Liang.

After completing the breakthrough, Pollinis wanted to make up for the defense, but his movements were too slow, and before he could step forward, Chi Liang had already hit the basket and scored a layup.
