Chapter 170: The extra-long and terrifying road trip is excessive

With a win over the Grizzlies, the 76ers are going home. However, the next game was still very bitter, first in the Denver Plateau.

The team here is not strong, but it makes the 76ers very unhappy. The way they play is all about fighting with the 76ers, especially Antonio McDyce on the inside, who has singled Tyrone Hill countless times on the inside. This is very upset for the 76ers, who have been on the road for a long time. This directly caused the 76ers players to be furious!

The scorers, led by Luke, began to score wild points here. Reed scored 30 points, McGee scored 31 points, and Big Ben went crazy with 20 points. After making seven three-pointers in the third quarter, Luke stopped and began to assist his teammates to score, finishing the game with 26 assists. While the 76ers were also comprehensively suppressing the Denver Nuggets to score, Luke was alone to limit Antonio McDyes. In the absence of super players, the Nuggets never caught up with their scores, and in the end, the 76ers directly slaughtered the Nuggets 134-87.

The 76ers scored a lot in this game, but it also laid the groundwork for the collapse of the next game.

Because the 76ers still have to go to the plateau in the second game, this time it is the Utah plateau.

The last game was too hard, and the feel and physical strength were too much to use. In the game against Utah, except for McGee and Luke, the other players in the 76ers team did not want to have scopes, and the basket was like a lid, and the 76ers players did not shoot. At this point, Luke and McGee were the team's main scorers. Luke scored 43 points with a sudden shot, and McGee also turned on scoring mode and grabbed 30 points, but he met the Utah Jazz in the best condition, and the Utah duo really came into play, scoring 78 points together, so that the 76ers were also slaughtered. 119:89。 With a 30-point margin, it was Luke's most loss since becoming an NBA player.

But Luke didn't have time to grieve, and the 76ers had to run to the next arena.

Then there are the Golden State Warriors. Thankfully, the game was three days away from the last game against the Utah Jazz, giving the 76ers a more adequate rest.

This break was invaluable, as it allowed the 76ers to temporarily escape the fatigue of a long road trip and the shadow of the loss in the last game against the Utah Jazz.

After the 76ers got rid of their troubles and returned to the court, the Golden State Warriors experienced what a gap is.

Even if they have the "left hand of God", the Chris Mullin, who is very accurate and steady in terms of free throws, shooting and layups, there is also Mark Jackson in the green era, or Antoine Jamison, who was in the same school as Carter and later one of the "troika" of the Wizards, and the current boss of the Golden State Warriors - Eric Dampier.

That's right, this is the same Eric Dampier who boasted in the '05 playoffs that he was the best center in the West. He was disdainful of Yao Ming at that time, and he probably didn't understand why he was robbed by several teams at that time, just because he was a second-rate player with a relatively high cost performance, but he regarded himself as a top superstar in the NBA. As a result, in the game against the Rockets, the No. 1 center in the West averaged 3.5 points per game and only a measly 6 rebounds. And Yao Ming, who is in charge of defense, scored 30+ in three games, averaging more than 21 points per game, making the "No. 1 in the West" a good ugly.

But to be honest, Eric Dampier is still very good. Although he has a poor feel for throwing baskets or hooking hands in the restricted area. On the side of the restricted area, his offensive means is to withstand the defender, step to the front of the rebound in two steps, and force a layup, but he does not have much control. His scoring is concentrated in the restricted area, and his main way of scoring is through direct board scoring and dunking. He plays a pick-and-roll offense (often doesn't get the ball back) and grabs rebounds in the frontcourt, with the occasional open cut. He rarely had a chance to play in the low post, and of course, he didn't have enough quality.

When he can get that high salary (73 million in 7 years), the Mavericks don't fancy his 12.3 points that year, but his defense.

Dampier is tall and has long arms and is a good rebounder. Without particularly great explosiveness and bounce, coupled with a right knee injury, his rebounding mostly relied on solid positioning and excellent anticipation.

In one-on-one low post defense, Dampier is an expert. His strength and footwork have not suffered in dialogue with other centers in the league, and even have the upper hand (except for the alternative like Xiao Si). Yao Ming, O'Neill and other excellent and strong centers have suffered a lot of losses under him.

However, Dampier struggled to play enough in the quick transition between offense and defense, and at one point was squeezed to the bench by Diop, who was athletic and passionate about playing, and was reduced to the "Mavericks' second center".

Dampier is a little slow to defend, so the blocks are mostly done in close defense, unlike Big Ben or Kirilenko, who have a lot of "stabbing and killing" blocks.

This shows how disadvantaged he is in front of Big Ben.

Then the Golden State Warriors were crushed by the 76ers again, and in the end, the 76ers directly sent a bench in the final quarter of the game, allowing the whole team to score, which is enough to explain the advantage of this game.

Then, the 76ers also went to Seattle to challenge the SuperSonics.

But now the Seattle SuperSonics lineup is a little different, and the 76ers have met another acquaintance, who is the great "Gorilla" Parik Ewing. Although in July, the New York Knicks chose to believe in Ewing and signed a two-year contract with him, but the season has reached this point, and the New York Knicks can't wait any longer, although Ewing still has a certain fan attraction, but it has long been no longer as fatal to the fans, coupled with the infinite decline in his own strength and physical strength, the New York Knicks' patience with him has also declined infinitely, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore, and directly traded him to the Seattle SuperSonics.

Add to that the original core Gary Payton, assistant Wenbeck, rookie Sarad Lewis, and finally a very famous, practical, but not a superstar white player - Brent Barry.

This was the original template for Luke to enter the league in the first place. The body is superb, the bounce can be regarded as BT level among whites, and the explosive ability of one jump is extremely outstanding. The champion of the 96 slam dunk contest, wearing a wide court jacket to complete a half-step free-throw line dunk, is also quite tough. But the flexibility is average, the waist and abdominal strength is average, so there are fewer dunk patterns, generally straight up and straight down, and the facial ability is extremely strong after early acceleration... When he first entered the Alliance, he was extremely thin, and his thin body shape was the origin of the nickname "Bones". Moves laterally slower and is not a qualified 1v1 defender. But with his outstanding reach, he was quite strong in steals early in his career. Excellent judgment of the course of the ball. The team's defensive awareness is qualified. In the early years, like my father, I didn't pay much attention to defense, but I just relied on quality and instinct to get better defensive statistics. So the 76ers still have a very good advantage when it comes to matchups, after all, the 76ers' point guards are all playing with skill, which is a nightmare for these people who defend with all talent.

In the end, the 76ers defeated the SuperSonics by a narrow 109-106 three-point advantage.

Now, the 76ers are just one stop away from returning home, and that's Florida.
