188th All-Star Game 3
The first quarter of the game is over. All the players returned to the bench to rest.
"It's so cool! It's been a long time since I've played at such a fast pace! Carter said as soon as he was back on the bench.
"You, you," said Larry on the side, "I just don't know moderation, do you have the physical strength to run like this, and what about the children?" ”
"Hehehe," Carter smiled at Larry.
"Okay, stop laughing." Larry said, "Look at yourselves, one or two are tired like something, how will you play in the next game?" Really, the next section is not allowed to be played again! ”
"Don't, Larry." At this time, only Aaron caught up and said a few words of countermouth. "I haven't had enough of it!"
"Sit down for me!" Larry directly pressed Aaron, who was standing up, down. "You can go on it, where do I put my face! Stay on the bench yourself! ”
Aaron noticed Larry's signs of anger and quickly shut his mouth.
"Okay, no one else has any objections." Larry looked at the others, "I'll set it up." ”
"Stephen (Marbury), Ray (Gentleman Ray), Ratrill (Ratril Sprewell), Glenn ('Big Dog'), DiCambe (Mutombo) you guys on the second quarter."
"Understood, Coach!"
At this time, the rest time was over, and the eastern and western troops also went on.
Although the Princeton system does not have the physical exertion of bombardment, the western troops are still tired, because they have to accompany the group of people in the eastern army to run, and the Princeton system itself also needs players to run to take shape. So the Western troops also changed to a substitute lineup.
Gary Payton came on in place of Jason Kidd. The backcourt partner also became Michael Finley. Tim Duncan and David Robinson are also back. At small forward, it became Rasheed Wallace. Although he doesn't often play this position. But he did not perform well in this position, although he did not score much, but he was still decent.
As soon as the eastern troops came up, they gave the western troops a dismount.
Marbury, who had just been selected for the Eastern Stars, was obviously not used to this rhythm, and he used his explosive power that was unmatched in this league to force a breakthrough through Gary Payton, who wanted to release water, and then ignored teammate Ratriel Sprewell's request and the defense of the Western team, and threw it directly into the basket.
"This ...... What is this guy going to do? "That's what the rest of the players in the East and West Forces, in addition to Marbury, are on the minds of the rest of the players right now. But the Western troops did not think much about it, they needed to attack.
Unlike the players on that team in the first quarter, although this team of Western players is still a group of talents, they are not the same as the team in front of them. Most of them are not as energetic as those before them. Gary Payton and David Robinson, in particular, bore the brunt of the attack. Both of them are real veterans, and they have to spare their physical strength, and the playoffs are going to be made soon after the All-Star break, if they are injured at this time. Then it's not worth it. Now they have all chosen to play steady.
The East is also a strong team. Mutombo and Ray Allen are both players who are quite good defensively. But you have to know that others can't guarantee it. The "big dog" has a congenital disadvantage - he is too short. Duncan didn't press him down. You can score easily. Marbury has the same problem.
Although he has good leg strength, a strong body and a lot of speed. But there is also the same disadvantage, the height is too short.
BESIDES, MARBURY'S STRENGTH IS COMPLETELY INADEQUATE IN FRONT OF GARY PAYTON, IN THE REGULAR SEASON YOU CAN OFTEN SEE GP'S BULLDOZER-STYLE BACK BODY SINGLES STRONG EATING, WHICH IS ALMOST PAYTON'S PATENTED MOVE, RELYING ON A STRONG BODY STEP BY STEP TO SUPPLY IN, DEFENDERS ARE USUALLY MORE THAN ENOUGH AND NOT ENOUGH, AND WHEN THEY REACH A SIMILAR POSITION (A LITTLE OUTSIDE THE 3-SECOND ZONE), THEY TURN AROUND AND STEP BACK TO SHOOT. Then it's time for the glove to trash-talk.
Of course, this situation will not be on this All-Star, after all, no one wants to fight in this great break, right?
But Gary Payton still chose to eat strongly, Marbury. Marbury couldn't resist it at all.
But Gary Payton didn't choose to eat too much, after all, this action was too unsightly.
It didn't take long for Gary Payton to hand the ball to small forward Rasheed Wallace.
Opposite the defense of Ratril Sprewell, Rasheed Wallace's tall stature is highlighted. Tianzun plays all the offensive methods, but each offensive style is always a little bit short of the top level. When the team needs him to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opposing center, because the tonnage is not dominant, the success rate of the back shot is not as high as that of a big forward like TD, and when he is in the high position, he does not have the strong shooting ability of Dirk and the jumping breakthrough ability of KG, and he is not as weird as Webb in terms of passing ability. So, Rashid Wallace is ranked last in the "Big Four". But he's not for nothing. "Uhhh
The straight arm roll back jumper on the right baseline is Rashid Wallace's famous work, because of the large elevation angle and high shooting point, it has good anti-interference and a high shooting rate, not to mention that Ratril Sprewell can't reach it. Rashid succeeded in returning one.
The East Force was ready to make a comeback, and it was still Marbury who had the ball.
"Hey, boy!" Gary Payton said, "Don't play it for real, it's just an exhibition game." ”
But Marbury didn't care about that. In this era, compared to the rookies of the same class, Allen has become a hot superstar in the league, and Kobe Bryant is gradually growing, and he has won the championship ahead of everyone in this generation. Sharif. Abdul Rahim became the absolute heart of the team. Ray Allen and Marcus Camby have also become indispensable members of the team, and their strength is still rising, and their fame is growing. And, of course, Anthony Walker, the "Fat Man".
In this case, Marbury's life is relatively poor. Although he is the core of the team, he is not the kind of non-sale, and in the first few years of entering the league, he had a conflict with the team boss and then eliminated the team. Then came to another team, and just came to retire the super forward that the team had just signed with a high salary (Jason Williams, the bitter B kid who retired like this, a Rodman grabbed 1,200 boards, he grabbed 800 boards super rebounder).
Now he is a lone warrior, even loner than Aaron. He doesn't trust anyone, only himself.
Gary Payton was not heard, nor was his teammate asked for a pass. Dribble on your own.
"Okay, if you don't listen to me, then I'll be serious!" Gary Payton's eyes sharpened. (To be continued......)
