39. Aftershocks are coming (ask for recommendations)
The Trail Blazers had a good start, 2:0, Randolph scored an easy goal, and then the fans in the Rose Garden arena began to curse and taunt the Pistons players, and scolded everything, and even Bell, who actually had nothing to do with Warburn, became the target of attack.
Listening to those unbearable words about Bell, Waben's face became gloomy, he picked up the ball and threw it to Billups, sneered and asked Rashid, "Aren't you going to teach me a lesson?" Not a point? Okay, let me take a look. ”
Randolph, who ran to the midfield, turned around and said lazily: "Old man, don't find the wrong opponent, you are my dish." ”
Seeing that Huaben's expression changed from gloomy to smiling, Billups had a number in his heart, and he muttered in his heart, Bell and Benzhen are a couple, both smiling tigers.
Wahben and Billups jogged across the front court together, Oku and Rashid tangled in the box, and Randolph stood on the three-point line at random, waiting for Waben to settle down.
Waeben wasn't in position, and he was going to teach the Portlanders a lesson with his run-and-catch-and-shoot skills, but when he saw Randolph's disdainful defensive stance, he had a better idea. Since you yourself are not afraid of being embarrassed, let me insult you.
The moment Wajburn ran to the three-point line and approached Randolph, he first flashed to the left, as if to go around his right side. Randolph moved his body and hurriedly turned to the right, sneering in his heart that the old man is the old man, the last game was really shit luck, how could he be so tolerant of breaking through from his right side?
As soon as Randolph moved, Huaben quickly retracted his right body and rushed straight forward, as if after he got close to Randolph, the fat man took the initiative to make way for him. Hua Ben had the Shenxing Taibao skill, which was very fast, and by the time Randolph turned around and wanted to chase after him, he had already rushed into the forbidden area.
It only took two steps to increase the speed to the fastest, and at this time the basket was in front of him, Hua Ben took another step and slammed his feet on the floor at the same time. The sound of the plastic soles rubbing against the refined floor is like the roar of a beast breaking free from its shackles, and it makes people's souls tremble.
"Come!" With a loud roar, Huaben's figure stood up, and at the same time, the ball transferred to Prince's hand was thrown up by him, and at the moment when Huaben rose to the highest point, the basketball flew above his head at the same time, Huaben suddenly straightened his waist, and his majestic body paused in the air incredibly.
Stuck in the air! Huaben's time was very short, but the fans at the scene felt that time was torn apart by space, and it seemed that it would no longer disappear. Immediately Hua Ben received the ball, as soon as he got the ball, his hands retracted his lower abdomen, and then crossed a windmill trajectory-like arc from his chest, raised it above his head and slammed it to the hoop, boom!
The entangled Rashid and Oku looked up at Waben's angry flying overhead at the bottom line, and at that moment, the two of them thought they were looking up to the arrival of God!
"Roar!" Hua Ben quickly fell to the ground and slapped his chest vigorously, the muscles on his arms were raised, and the terrifying biceps and triceps brachii exuded a violent aura in the light, turning him from a human into a beast.
"Is this a score?!" Hua Ben leaned in front of Rashid and roared, his eyes bloodshot and his teeth white as if they were dead bones, "Take care of yourself!" ”
Rashid, who had always thought he was fearless and bold, was silent in the face of Waben's provocation, he was not afraid of fighting, but the tense muscles in Wabeon's arms told him that this was something that could burst out with the power to kill people.
"Back to the defense!" Hua Ben yelled, and after that, he took the lead in running to the backcourt, leaving only a group of opponents who stayed in the front court.
This demoralizing scene made Cheeks blush, and he exclaimed angrily, "Damn it, Zack, give me someone to keep an eye on you!" If you don't want to come down, just show me that bastard! You idiots, fools who don't even know how to defend! ”
Waeben was surprised by Cheeks' performance, knowing that many coaches in the NBA are grumpy, and Brown is such a person. But he never thought that a coach could insult his subordinates like this, isn't he afraid that the players will force the palace en masse? Hua could guarantee that if Brown had been so scolding instead of deploying effectively, he would have just dropped his jersey and gone off the court.
This is a misunderstanding on the part of Waeben, who did not pay enough attention to the NBA in his previous life, especially to a small team like the Trail Blazers.
Cheeks is definitely not afraid of his men to press the palace collectively, because it is impossible for the Trail Blazers players to unite to do anything!
Before 2001, the head coach of the Trail Blazers was Dunleavy, but the team was too chaotic and had a poor record, and he was fired from the team so that Cheeks could take office.
Formerly an assistant coach for the Philadelphia 76ers and a Hall of Fame guard, the Portlanders have high hopes that he can change the situation for the Trail Blazers. Because at that time he was considered a "coach of players", he had successfully worked with Allen Iverson, and AI has always been considered the face of the thorn, and the team hoped that he could better communicate with the problem players such as Stoudemire, Rashid, Wells and others.
Cheeks did help the team make a series of positive changes when he arrived, such as the selection of Zach Randolph in the draft, and the signing of Jeff McGinnis, a free agent guard.
However, then, the Trail Blazers of the Cheeks era developed and ran counter to expectations, and the players were still problem kids, starting with "Roaring Heaven" Rashid who did not restrain his arbitrary temper at all, and never fell behind in second place at the rate of accumulating technical fouls. Several players — including Team Rashid and Stoudemire — have been arrested by Oregon SWAT for their marijuana connections.
The most disappointing thing is that Cheeks and Trail Blazers captain Stoudemire get along very unpleasantly, everyone knows that as the idol of the lone wolf Marbury, the flying squirrel is a point guard who shoots first and passes second, which is very different from the point guard that Cheeks demands, because he himself is a legendary point guard who passes first. For this reason, Cheeks even stripped Stoudemire of his regular selection position last season, preferring to let Scott Pippen, who earned money, play the role of "playmaker" to partner with Wells in the backcourt.
And that's not all, one day in the middle of last season, Stoudemire and Rashid went to a nightclub for fun and were stopped on the highway for speeding, which wasn't a problem, but the traffic police found that their Humvee had marijuana hidden in it during a subsequent search. Later, fans thought he couldn't restrain the players at all, and in fact it was true that Rashid threatened the referee after a game against the Kings in January last season because he was not convinced by the referee's decision, and he was in front of Cheeks!
Since the start of the season, Cheeks has broken the jar and even thrown the flying squirrel back into the starting lineup. He didn't care about his relationship with the players, he hadn't laughed once in the locker room this season, and the kind of players who were abusive to the Trail Blazers were used to it, and no one cared what he said.
Of course, Randolph doesn't care about Cheeks' words, in fact, when he first entered the league, Randolph was a great guy, except for being a little lazy in college, he never touched drugs and women, otherwise Cheeks would not dare to choose him. But when he came to Portland, he quickly degenerated into a hedonistic generation, and even worsened, and even became a shadow of a locker room troublemaker, who initiated the incident of the Scoop Girl in Salt Lake City last season.
In the face of Randolph, who did not defend, Waben was no longer polite, he kept running in the Trail Blazers' penalty area, receiving the ball is a jump shot, and under the watchful eyes of 15,000 fans at the Rose Garden Arena, Wabben once again staged the blockbuster of 'God Comes', and hit outside shots one after another.
Billups didn't understand how Huaben, who had never even been able to play the basket, suddenly mastered the technique of running and catching the ball that was more difficult than a step-back jumper, but he didn't want to waste brain cells, wasn't that a good thing? Perhaps God has suddenly favored Ben. Therefore, as soon as Hua Ben ran out of the empty space, the ball in his hand was immediately passed.
Hua Ben hit four consecutive shots to extend the lead to double digits in the opening eight minutes of the first quarter, 18-8, and the Trail Blazers scored only three goals, and the flying squirrel hit two free throws.
Seeing Huaben score with long-range shots one after another, Cheeks slammed the tactical board to the ground, this world is really crazy, is it that the technique of running to catch the ball and throwing is already rotten? How did even that idiot who attacked the first learn to do so?
Fortunately, Rashid stood up in time, roaring that although Tianzun is not a good player who abides by the law, he is not a person who easily admits defeat, Huaben's arrogance makes him unbearable, pushes away the tricky Oku, and concentrates on keeping an eye on Huaben.
Rashid is a versatile defensively, can defend all types of interior lines, kg, TD, driver, Webb, and even O'Neal, he can defend and often does well. But this does not mean that he can stare at Huaben, because Huaben's performance is more like a small forward than an interior lineman.
Everyone thinks so, only Hua Ben knows that it is not so simple. Rashid is tall and has long legs, runs flexibly and quickly, blocks in time, and Huaben is faster than Rashid, but there is one point, Huaben can't dribble now, once he receives the ball, he must shoot immediately, otherwise it will cause a dead ball, facing Rashid who can barely keep up with him, Huaben is not easy.
Sure enough, when Rashid was targeted, Huaben's shooting percentage immediately decreased, and his fifth shot came out. Rashid was smart enough not to try to block Waben, but to cover Waben's face with his big palm, so that he could not pinpoint the hoop.
However, this can only stop Huaben, but not him, Huaben's shooting percentage has dropped, it does not mean that he can't shoot the ball. At this point, the skill of Shenxing Taibao has begun to take effect, isn't it that you want to stick to me? Okay, then I'll run, I'll keep running, you can follow me if you want, Hamilton likes to do this the most, and now Huaben likes it too.
Rashid's success did not reassure the coaching staff of other teams who were following this game, and in the first quarter, Huaben's five mid-range shots told everyone that my outburst in the last game was not accidental, don't leave it to chance, and find a way to fight me.
