Chapter 51: The Greatest Killer
The game started quickly, Richard turned his head and glanced at Maurice Cheeks not far away, it looked like a middle-aged man with black and thin hair and gray hair, Richard touched his nose, he didn't think that this black and thin Maurice Cheeks could beat him.
The game has just begun, the first thing to do is the jump ball, and the Warriors are standing in the middle circle with Antoine Jamison, because the starting center Danny Fortson is only 2.01 meters, which is considered a floor flow inside, so the task of the jump ball must be replaced.
However, the 2.06-meter Antoine Jamieson also failed to win the jump ball, the referee blew the whistle, the basketball was thrown high into the air, and the Trail Blazers' starting center Dale Davis beat Antoine Jamieson and pulled the basketball.
For Dale Davis, Richard has also done a lot of homework, this big black and hard man is a blue-collar center, scoring is mainly dunk, the interior defense is very tough, in the center, the ability to protect the basket is considered to be among the top few in the league.
However, the Warriors just avoided these, the Warriors are a shooting team, so the characteristics of Dale Davis are exactly what the Warriors are not afraid of, so Richard did not pay too much attention to this black and hard center before the game.
The Trail Blazers in recent seasons can be called a veteran containment team, and Richard only glanced at the Trail Blazers' starters and was shocked by the name of the Trail Blazers' starting lineup.
The starting point guard is Damon Stadmeier, the starting scoring guard Bonzi Wells, the starting small forward is Scott Pippen, the starting power forward Rasheed Wallace, the starting center Davis, and then the bench also has power forward Sean Kemp, point guard Steve Cole, Ruben Patterson and Derrick Anderson.
The Trail Blazers got the ball for the first offense, Damon Damon Damaire took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and the players on both sides quickly settled in the half.
The game was NBC's nationally aired game, and there were no other heavyweights on the day, so NBC fielded their ace commentator partners, Marv Albert and Bill Wharton.
"The offense of the Trail Blazers, Damon Stadmeier directly handed the ball to Rasheed Wallace, near the free throw line, it looks like Rasheed Wallace is going to play alone."
"Rasheed Wallace's singles, Antoine Jamison is a little unstoppable, the Warriors changed defenses, but this is a bad move, 2.01 meters of Denny Fortson can't stop Rasheed Wallace's shot at all, roaring Tianzun's mid-range shot! Entered! ”
"A very beautiful single, maybe the Trail Blazers found a breakthrough for the Warriors from the beginning, and the Warriors' interior height and defense were a little poor."
Marf Albert and Bill Wharton have been expressing their opinions, and in their opinion, the Trail Blazers only need to continue to stare at the Warriors' interior play next, and the Warriors will be in danger in this game.
But Richard doesn't think so, he thinks that Rasheed Wallace's singles success is just good feel or good condition, and although Denny Fortson is too short, the chassis is stable and powerful, and he should not let Rasheed Wallace get such easy scoring opportunities all the time.
Danny Fortson serves the ball, Chauncey Billups takes the ball and advances quickly, while with the Trail Blazers, Damon Stadamire is a little absent-minded, and perhaps he looks down on Chauncey Billups, a well-known parallel trader.
Anyway, when Chauncey Billups advanced to the frontcourt, Damon Stadamale was still standing inside the three-point line, waiting for Billups to push to the top of the arc.
But what he didn't expect was that his position just gave Chauncey Billups a chance.
Chauncey Billups immediately thought of the way Ganon Baker had been teaching him to play, that is, to use his advantage anytime and anywhere in the game, Chauncey Billups wanted to make a running shot, but he was a little hesitant, he was afraid that he would not be able to shoot.
In fact, what Richard has always worried about is Chauncy Billups's hesitation and timidity, in Richard's opinion, Chaunci Billups's ability is already there, only confidence is missing.
Chaunsiybilups hesitated for a moment, but fortunately, Damon Stadamale still didn't pay attention, and then Damon Stadamale was one step inside the three-point line, and watched Chaunsiybillups dribble to the front court in amazement, and directly hit a three-pointer!
"Chauncey Billups pushed into the front court, and he actually shot straight away! It's a three-pointer! Enter, Ambili no Apo (Unbelievable)! Chauncey Billups actually shot a three-pointer directly! Damon Stadameyer didn't react at all, he was stunned now, is this still Chauncey Billups?! ”
Is this still Chauncy Billups? Richard laughed, after pre-season training and preseason workouts, Chancey Billups has improved significantly.
In fact, in Richard's original world, Chauncey Billups was signed by the Pistons at a high price in the playoffs this season.
So Chaunsibillups just needs to adapt to the Warriors' tactics to play well.
Now it seems that Chauncey Billups has adapted well, and perhaps by the time Rasonestrovic is out, the Warriors will really be able to play to Richard's satisfaction.
Chaunsibilups' three-pointer made Damon Dama Dameyer lose face, and he should now be thinking about getting back on the field, this goal Damon Staudemaier ignored Rashid Wallace's request again, and it looks like he really wants to come himself!"
"But this little flying squirrel is a little impulsive, his chances are not good, he can only hit the iron if he makes a forced shot!"
"Oh! Denny Fortson is a rebounding monster, he stuck his position perfectly and grabbed the rebound! ”
Richard was a little surprised by Denny Fortson's good sense of rebounding, and Damon Staudeyer's shot, because it was a forced shot, was a little strong, and the position that popped up on the basket was relatively far, but even so, it was still stuck in advance by Denny Fortson.
Then he grabbed Davis and grabbed the rebound.
"It's the Warriors' offensive round again, and this time Damon Stadymeier didn't careless, he just posted it."
Damon Darmaire's defense didn't allow Chaunsibilups to find much of an opportunity, but in this case, the Warriors still had other offensive options, and Chaunsibilups' first thought was the combination of Michael Reed and Antoine Jamison.
Sure enough, turning around, Michael Reed and Antoine Jamison had already started their offensive coordination from last season, and after a single block, Chauncey Billups' pass also arrived.
"Beautiful pick-and-roll coordination, Antoine Jamison's mid-range shot, in!"
"We've seen this happen many times, it was the Warriors' regular offensive tactics in the second half of last season, and in the new season, they worked again!"
Off the court, Richard clapped his hands with satisfaction, the cooperation of Michael Reed and Antoine Jamison will still be the biggest killer weapon of the Warriors!
