Chapter 46: Auden's Strength
Next is the Cavaliers' offense, and the Cavaliers have a chance to pull the difference to more than ten points, it depends on whether the Cavaliers' bench can seize this opportunity.
Gibson took the ball to half-court and passed it to West, who had just run out of space, and West shot directly from mid-range.
Brush, hit again, the Cavaliers led by ten points, leading the Trail Blazers by 44-34, and the Cavaliers played a small attack wave of 5-0 as soon as the second quarter came up, which is undoubtedly very good news and momentum for the Cavaliers.
Mike Brown on the sidelines was smiling at this time, obviously very satisfied with the performance of the second team, he just wanted them to hold on, he didn't think that they would be able to pull the score away, which he didn't expect.
It's not that he doesn't like this lineup, it's just that because the opponent's Oden is there, there is no doubt that this is a huge threat, so he is not very optimistic about this lineup on the field.
Blake dribbled the ball and passed the ball directly to the inside Oden at half-time, and Oden kept making a demanding posture when he was stuck in the position on the inside, and it was obvious that Oden wanted to take revenge on Asik's head for the shame he had just made.
Oden, who received the ball, hit it hard directly behind him.
Asik, who was hit by this, snorted in his heart, but gritted his teeth and insisted, not calling out, and said in his heart, "Oden is really terrifying, this power alone is not comparable to me, and sure enough, none of the champions are simple."
Oden didn't think about what Asik was thinking, although Asik didn't cry out in pain or anything, but Oden didn't believe that the other party had nothing to do, so Oden hit Asik again directly, and then turned around directly regardless of what happened to Asik, and then jumped high.
This is all done in one go, without any hint of mud and water, although Auden's weight can be said to be not light, but just now Auden's footsteps do not give people the slightest feeling of bulkiness and inflexibility, on the contrary, it gives people a very flexible feeling, which is very not simple for a big man.
Asik, looking at the high jump in front of him, was born without fear of the calf, gritted his teeth and jumped up, and felt the pain in his body as soon as he exerted his strength, but Asik still gritted his teeth and jumped up, not caring about himself at all, nor thinking about the consequences of this ball.
He only knows that the coach sent him on the court to look at his defense, and if he chooses to regress, he believes that the coach will be disappointed in him, and even replace himself in the next round, so he has to prove himself and prove that the coach sent him on the court, which is definitely the right choice.
Oden saw Asik in the air, with disdain and a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but Oden would not show mercy to his subordinates or anything, the shame that Asik brought him in the last round, he still remembers, it is obviously a fantasy to ask his subordinates to show mercy.
Although Asik worked hard, there was nothing to say about Oden's strength, and of course not everyone could defend against it. It slammed into Asik's body and slammed the ball into the basket.
Asik, who also jumped later, was directly hit by this and fell to the ground, and the Cavaliers' players immediately went up and cast concerned eyes and asked if there was anything wrong.
At this time, Oden hung on the basket, and came down from the basket in the next second, and the home fans instantly booed the champion show of 07 years, and this boo was very loud, you can imagine the mood of the fans at this time.
The home team players were blocked, and the fans on the field couldn't beat Oden, but the fans off the field had a way, which was to do their best to boo him and 'avenge' Asik
Oden didn't look at Asik, who was still lying on the ground, and returned to his half without looking back, waiting for the Cavaliers' next attack.
Asik looked at the players who came around and cared about him, squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just a knock, pull me up"
Hearing this, the player hurriedly lifted Asikla up, and then Szzebiak asked, "Is it really okay?" Do you want the team doctor to take a look at the next break? ”
Asik looked at Szzebiak and said with a smile, "It's okay, really, don't worry" After saying that, Asik slapped his buttocks, picked up the ball on the ground, and sent the ball to Gibson.
Asik's pace back to half-time was obviously a little unnatural, and it was clear that Oden's knock still caused him some internal injuries.
"It's a beast, it's okay," Asik said to himself.
Asik came up to give West a screen, and West used this to get past the defender and rush towards the inside, where the defender was Oden.
West looked at Auden, who was not far from him, and didn't know what he was thinking, but his expression was very solemn.
West didn't choose to pass the ball in the end, but bravely confronted Oden, but the disdain in Oden's eyes was clearly visible, and it is estimated that there was a reason why West didn't pass the ball.
Auden does have the strength capital to disdain him.
West directly faced Oden's layup, threw the basketball in his hand, and deliberately raised the shooting point a little in order to prevent Oden's block.
It's just that even if it is raised a little, it still fails to avoid tragedy.
I saw Oden jump high, shoot the ball like a volleyball, and slap it out, this is a very strong and very good timing of the big hat, and this big hat directly slapped the ball not far from the front of the Trail Blazers players, as long as the ball is received, there is naturally no problem with counterattacking.
Blake, who was on the outside, immediately copied it into his hand and rushed directly towards the Cavaliers halfcourt, and at this time, there was no defender in front of Blake. And Blake didn't have any surprises, and ended the perfect transition with an easy layup.
The Cavaliers, who were originally leading by ten points, chased the score to only six points under the Trail Blazers' two consecutive very morale-boosting attacks, and the current momentum can be said to be completely on the Trail Blazers' side, and it will be very powerful for the Trail Blazers next.
"This is Oden's strength, very good, a slam dunk, and a volleyball-style hat, all of which explain his ability. As long as he's healthy, he's going to be looking forward to what he's going to do," Barkley said.
Miller didn't know how to answer Barkley's obvious bias towards Oden, so he had to ignore it, and secretly said in his heart, "Huang let him win me, although Barkley can say that he has a good impression of Huang or also supports him, but in comparison with Oden, Barkley is obviously more supportive of Oden." ”
Brown was still watching from the sidelines, and he didn't mean to call a timeout, and he didn't plan to make a substitution, obviously this is a player who believes in himself, or thinks that his player is playing well, although he was chased back by four points from ten points to six points ahead, but when they were on the court, they still earned a point for the Cavaliers.
The game continued until about five minutes before the Cavaliers called the first timeout of the quarter.
During this period of time, Oden's performance was very good, although Asik's defense was very good, but Oden was Oden after all, facing Asik, who was not at the same level as himself, he played very easily, although he was attacked twice in a row, but Oden completely abused Asik in the next step.
Blocking, hooking, dangling and then shooting, and making fouls, etc., completely let Asik taste all his methods, and made him understand that he is not at the same level as himself at all.
Oden had another 10 points and three rebounds in that time. Before the end of the first half, Oden had already scored twenty-four points, how to play on the inside line of the Knights, and completely bullied the inside line of the Cavaliers, who called the inside line of the Cavaliers There is no character of Oden's level, and the inside line of the Cavaliers can be said to be very weak, and being bullied can be said to be expected.
After this game, who will doubt that Oden will not be the terrifying Oden after his injury?
Although Oden's performance during this period can be said to be very good, but the Cavaliers do not mean that they have no power to parry and let them bully, although the interior line is not his opponent, but the Cavaliers are also excellent on the outside in this section.
Gibson, West, and Szczebiak have all scored three points respectively, and the shooting rate can be said to be very high, not at all random shooting or anything, but to shoot when there is a chance, as long as it comes in, no matter whose hand the ball is, it will shoot decisively, which is why the three-point shooting rate is not high.
At the timeout, the Cavaliers were 56-50 ahead of the Trail Blazers by six points, still six.
"Both teams can be described as crazy during this time, Oden's insolvability on the inside, the Cavaliers' madness outside the three-point line, the game has been very good so far, although the score is very high, but there can be no problems in defense during this time" Barkley paused, and then said, "Everyone tried their best on defense and was very focused, but both sides were able to shoot the ball." ”
"yes, the Cavaliers were able to find good shots because they showed the team basketball during this time, and they did a very good job of moving the ball and timing it very well. Everybody trusts everybody, and that's what keeps the Cavaliers on the scoreline and doesn't get pulled closer or overtaken," Miller said.
Brown greeted the players from the field with a smile, and it was clear from his expression that Brown was very happy with them and didn't get angry with them with such a high score because they had completed the task he had given them.
In fact, the best defense is attack, as long as you can completely suppress the opponent on offense, it doesn't matter whether you want to defend or not. But how is it possible to maintain a very efficient attack throughout the game? Even if it's a possibility, what about a season? So it's better to defend, basketball is ultimately offense-oriented, otherwise why calculate wins and losses by scores instead of blocks and steals or something?
