Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Opening Fight
The game began, with Richard standing on the sidelines crossed, overseeing the Warriors' first wave of offense, with a chorus of boos behind him.
The jump ball was won by the Warriors, and Eric Dampier beat Adonalfoyle to take the lead. The Warriors quickly settled in the half, and the tactical movement began quickly.
The Warriors' blocking, covering and running are still as fast as before, in fact, Richard is already preparing to adjust the team's speed, because if you want better defense, it's better to be slower, but now the Warriors are on an Eastern road trip, and it is difficult to adjust now, so Richard can only continue to stick to the team's style of play, barely practicing the team's offensive tactics.
After Bob Sula got the ball, he quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then according to the established tactics, through the cross-cover cooperation with Devin George, disrupted the Bucks' defense, and then Michael Reid and Antoine Jamison made a no-ball block, which instantly formed a dislocation, although Bob Sulla's pass was not as good as Ralph Alston, but he would still pass this form of pass.
Michael Reed, who hit the ball and ran to throw off Ray Allen, received the ball, and the player who defended him became Glenn Robinson, Michael Reid quickly chose to break through with speed, after all, he was facing an interior player like Glenn Robinson, and he was definitely inferior to himself in terms of speed.
"Michael Reed chose to break through, and the Warriors' offense was methodical and passed! Antoine Jamison's high jumper, in! Michael Reed's side is misplaced, Antoine Jamison is also misplaced, the Bucks only pay attention to Michael Reed who has the ball, but ignore Antoine Jamison, who has been in high position! They made a mistake in the opening! ”
The commentary partners for this game are ESPN's Magic Elvin Johnson and ace commentator Mike Brin, Magic Johnson is obviously surprised by the tactical literacy shown by the Warriors, is it possible that the current NBA teams have such a high level of tactical literacy? The Warriors are the bottom team in the West!
And Mike Brin next to him made a joke: "Erwin, you must not have watched the game where the Warriors played the Lakers!" ”
Magic Johnson smiled and shook his head: "That's right, I didn't see it." ”
Off the court, Richard laughed at Jamison's jump shot: "Antoine's jump shot is getting more and more accurate, I remember when I first came, he still threw from time to time, and now he almost doesn't lose it, of course, provided that it's an open jump shot." ”
"Yes, that's right, in fact, every day Antoine has to practice jump shots, even three-point he practices a lot, maybe soon we will have a big man who can shoot three-pointers, just like the Maverick's Dirk." Del Nigro also smiled and said, in fact, what he also wanted to say was that not only Antoine Jamison has improved greatly, but other players have also improved greatly.
For example, Bob Sulla, a white veteran guard who was originally ineffective in three-point shooting, also practiced three-point shooting every day, and now can steadily contribute one or two three-pointers per game.
As for young players such as Ralph Alston and Michael Reed, not to mention, the improvement is staggering, you know, Richard has only been in charge of the Warriors for half a month!
The Warriors' first wave of offense hit easily, and while the Warriors coaching staff was talking about the players' progress, they defended the Bucks' first wave of offense on the defensive end.
Eric Dampier yelled and pressed Adonal Foyle to grab the rebound, which boosted the morale of the Warriors!
And then the Warriors continued to adhere to their methodical tactical running offense, Michael Reed and Antoine Jamison's hand-to-hand cooperation made the Bucks not know who to defend, just like that, Michael Reed shot three points unguarded and successfully hit! Blossomed before Ray Allen.
5:0! As soon as the game started, the momentum of the Warriors dizzy the Bucks, and after Ray Allen turned around and missed the shot again, Richard on the side could already see George Carr's dark face.
And then, Michael Reed actually scored a three-point shot against Ray Allen's defense, and George Carr's face was even more ugly, 8:0! Before the game, George Carl never thought that the Bucks were beaten by the Warriors at the beginning of the game, in George Carl's opinion, such a plot will indeed appear, but it should obviously be the other way around, it should be the Bucks beating the Warriors!
Then came the Bucks' offensive round, and George Karl yelled from the sidelines, "Get your attention!" Dog-! ”
This time, under the reminder of George Karl, the Bucks finally scored, Glenn Robinson cleverly shook off Antoine Jamison and made a layup, but the score only became 8:2, for the Warriors, they have played their morale, and then, just expand their advantage.
So then, the Bucks fans watched their team miss a few shots amid bursts of boos and exclamations, and then watched the opponents, especially the hateful veteran Michael Reed, hit one after another, and the score expanded step by step......
"Michael Reed, it's him again, three points in the bag! Ray Allen seems to be sleepwalking today, he can't keep up with Michael Reed on the defensive end! ”
Just after Michael Reed hit this three-pointer, George Karl finally couldn't help it, and he directly called a timeout!
Richard smiled and greeted the players off the court, the first quarter of the game was just 7 minutes into the game, the Warriors had already scored 22 points, while the opponent Bucks only scored 11, and the difference between the two teams had widened to 11 points.
Richard encouraged the players a little, made a few small adjustments, and then heard the roar of George Carr next door, and Richard could already imagine how Ray Allen, Sam Kassel, and Glenn Robinson, who actually performed well in the first quarter, would be scolded badly.
However, George Carr's scolding didn't seem to have any effect, after the timeout, the Bucks still didn't perform well, and the defensive end still couldn't cope with the Warriors' quick blocking and covering, and on the offensive end, Ray Allen finally found his touch, but compared with Michael Reed, who had a burst of hand, it was still a little inadequate.
As a result, after the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Bucks by as many as 15 points at 35:20! And Michael Reed scored 16 points alone, beating Ray Allen, who only scored 8 points.
And Eric Dampier even broke Adonalfoyle on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Ralph Alston who came off the bench handed out four assists and hit a three-pointer in just five minutes of playing time, scoring five points, and the battle for the Warriors' name went very well.
On the other side of the pitch, George Karl's face was as black as charcoal.
