Chapter 59: The Problem Is Serious
The second watch, there will be a third watch, as for the fourth watch, there are only 18 votes left to recommend it now, everyone come on, soon. In addition, this is a necessary excessive plot, and everyone should not complain about the abuse of the master like last time.
In the game with the 76ers, Jonny was actually blocked by Jerry Stackhouse, you know, although Jerry Stackhouse is not bad at defense, he is not a defensive giant, and he is still some defensive skills worse than Doug Christie that Jonny has met before.
That's it, Jonny was still defended, and it is worth mentioning that after this game, Jerry Starkerhouse also proudly shared his experience of defending Jonny with everyone.
"Well, that's right, I stopped Jonny, in fact, it's very simple to say, it's to stop him from attacking, in professional terms, it's hand-check, I used hand-check to prevent him." Facing the reporter in front of him, Jerry Stackhouse was very excited to introduce his experience, and Jerry Stackhouse was still very proud of his ability to prevent Jonny and prevent this super scorer who is currently in the second place in the scoring list.
And Jerry Starkerhouse's words also attracted the attention of those who care, and Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Mike Fratro noticed this: "With a hand-check? It looks like we can win the next game! ”
Mike Fratero instantly had confidence in the next game, but he also knew that not all players could guard against Jonny, at least Bob Sula, a full-time guard in the Cavaliers, and Mike Fratero felt that he had to find a physical man, so he set his sights on the team's starting point guard Bobby Fils.
On Nov. 30, the Magic's final game of the month was held in Cleveland, and the Quickloan Arena welcomed Jonny, who wanted to put an end to his bad form. In the last game, he only scored 7 points and only made 4 of 14 shots, and such a bad state made Brian Hill have a little bit of a move to take him off the starter, but Brian Hill also knew that it was just a game of poor condition, so Brian Hill still held back, and Jonny still appeared in the starting position.
"The game started, and Jonnyri, who had very good stats before, suffered Waterloo in the last game, he was defended by Jerry Starkerhouse, and this game is a good opportunity for him to prove himself, although their opponent is the famous defensive powerhouse Cavaliers." NBC commentator for the game, Mav Albert, said.
"Yes, Jonny urgently needs to prove himself, because Jerry Stackhouse claims that he has found a way to deal with Jonny, and also shared his own way, maybe we can see the Cleveland Cavaliers use that method to deal with Jonny in this game, if Jonny wants to prove himself and prove that he was stopped by Jerry Starkhouse just because of an accident, I think he should play his full strength in this game." Marf Albert's partner Marty Glickman also said.
And when the game started, Jonny, who was ambitious to prove that he was just an accident in the last game by Jerry Starkhouse, fell into a difficult situation again, Mike Fratro really made a change to Jonny, and Bobby Fils, who was previously the Cavaliers' second attacker, took out almost all of his energy to limit Jonny's offense on the defensive end.
Jonny's first offense was off target, even though Bobby Fils wasn't familiar with defending Jonny at this point.
And then, when Bobby Fils gradually found a way to defend Jonny, Jonny tragically found himself floating outside to shoot, and he was no longer able to use the European step that he was very good at and was the main scoring method.
And the result of this is that the first quarter is not over, Jonny who is already 1 of 5 shots was replaced by Brian Hill, and then for the rest of the game, Jonny did not get any more playing time, and Nick Anderson and Gerald Wilkins shared the remaining playing time.
For Jonny, the problem is serious now, he may lose his hard-won starting position, and may even directly become the team's third choice at the shooting guard position.
And after this game, although the Cavaliers did not win this game, Mike Fratro's face was still full of smiles, because his experiment was successful, Jonny was indeed prevented by him, for the Cavaliers, their goal is the playoffs, and the Magic is likely to be their opponent, so, to be able to find the weaknesses of the opponent's players, for Mike Fratro, this is more important than a victory in a regular season game.
However, Jonny will not study Mike Flatrow's expressions, and he will only study the expressions of Brian Hill and Nick Anderson and Gerald Wilkins.
Brian Hill's expression Jonny really can't see it, in fact, Brian Hill has always been like this, he is always expressionless, but at this time, Brian Hill is already planning when not to let Jonny start, whether it is the next game, or the next game, Brian Hill is no longer in a hurry, he feels that judging from the situation of Jonny in these two games, Jonny is not far from losing his current job in the NBA.
If Jonny had known about it, he would have been very angry and would have lashed out at Brian Hill because he wouldn't have thought that his manager was always thinking about his own badness.
And the same excitement is Nick Anderson, the current situation, fools can see that Jonny is already in trouble, and this trouble may be something that Jonny will never be able to solve, Nick Anderson feels that it is only a matter of time before he gets back his starting position, and the excited Nick Anderson, in the team training match the next day, did not do his best in the confrontation with Jonny like the previous team training games, because he knows that his current opponent is no longer Jonny, It's Gerard Wilkins, who now needs to recharge his batteries and prove himself in the competition.
Mike Fratro can learn the methods shared by Jerry Starkerhouse, and so can Mavericks head coach Jim Clemens, in Jim Clemens' pre-game words: "It's not hard, isn't it a hand-check." ”
At this time, Jonny may have felt a feeling that everyone had betrayed him, as if he was being targeted by the whole world. And Jonny's current form has also made several players in the team who are good with him feel anxious, and Darryl Armstrong and Amar McCasgill continue to comfort Jonny, hoping that Jonny can cheer up.
And Anfernee Hardaway always asks Jonny every once in a while: "What's going on with you lately, won't you be stopped so easily?" ”
And for these concerns, Jonny can only smile bitterly, he really doesn't know what to do, two games in a row to be prevented, and before the next game, he may not be able to find any way, like this, is to be blocked for three consecutive games, Jonny seems to have seen his future, lost the main position, and then slowly reduced to the water cooler caretaker on the bench, just like Amar McCasgill does now.
