Chapter 124: The Strongest vs. the Strongest
The speed of Chamberlain's growth made the little general Johnson feel heavy, and when the former rose like a comet in the NBA, the little generals were ready for him to disrupt the league's restricted area, but no one thought that this day would come so soon!
If the previous Chamberlain was just an impregnable copper wall, then after a battle with O'Neill, Chamberlain suddenly opened up, although his offensive means are still very immature, but with his strong physical fitness, he has the momentum of a nightmare in the penalty area.
The Mavericks had a good hand in the first quarter, Nowitzki hit several unreasonable shots, and Harris, Eddie Jones and Howard were all accurate from the outside, which is also a feature of the Mavericks, whose offensive firepower has always been among the best in the league.
The Warriors have been playing a bit chaotically, with Davis seemingly forgetting his role as playmaker and having recently become more obsessed with shooting and singles.
Those who know the inside story know that he is demonstrating to the Warriors' uniform team, telling Nelson Sr. and General Manager Mullin with high scores one by one, you are wrong to choose Chamberlain as the core! Chamberlain may be able to dominate the NBA, but that's the future, not the present, and now the Warriors are still under his Davis.
Davis only cares about himself, but he forgets what kind of player the team uniform team hates the most, no matter which team he is in, the prickly head player has no future, unless he can be as good as O'Neal or Iverson, it is better to be well-behaved. What's more, Davis is a playmaker, and his task is to connect the whole team to attack, to make his teammates better, not to score high himself, so what does a scoring guard do?
Ellis didn't play well in these two games, so he had a broken relationship with Davis, if the latter wasn't too sticky, why would he be so embarrassed? In addition to shooters, shooting guards almost all need to have the ball in their hands to have a deterrent, and Ellis is the best in this, if there is no ball, he counts as a ball?
Despite the Mavericks' overall performance, the Warriors didn't fall far behind in the score, with the Mavericks leading by just four points at 32-28 after the first quarter, and that advantage would have been null and void if the Warriors had a burst of onslaught. There is no doubt that this is not what the Junior General, Nowitzki, Cuban and countless Mavericks fans want to see, so in the second quarter, the Mavericks bench ambush came to light.
Terry is here.
Terry made a name for himself with the Hawks, but made a name for himself with the Mavericks, starting his second season in the league with the Hawks, but when he came to the Warriors, he was named off the bench. Terry is not dissatisfied with this, because he, the bench, is the only person on the outside of the Mavericks who has unlimited shots.
Terry was the one Nelson Sr. selected from the Hawks to fight against the Spurs' Ginobili, and he was positioned as a super sixth man, and he did this job brilliantly, becoming the Mavericks' best outside killer, especially when he and Harris played at the same time, the Mavericks' outside offense was a tornado, and the destructive power of possession was staggering.
When Terry played, Nelson Sr. also began to change formations, Chamberlain + Petrus + Harrington + Jackson + Barnes, this quirky lineup appeared.
In a sense, this is the strongest defensive lineup that the old Nelson can send, full of spirituality, iron-blooded defense, the only flaw is the lack of organizers, and their attack rhythm may be messed up, which is also the reason why the old Nelson can't send out the old Nelson no matter how strong the opponent's attack is, and can only fight with the opponent to attack, because the back four people have no organizational ability.
But now, Chamberlain is coming.
Jackson dribbled the ball past half time and gave the ball to Chamberlain in the penalty area, and the sweaty Dampier secretly complained, why didn't this monster get off the field, wasn't he tired? Dampier, who was able to stay in the confrontation with Duncan and Yao Ming, was cowardly today, and he had never encountered such a violent inside line as Chamberlain, except for O'Neal when he was young.
Chamberlain grabbed the ball with one hand and turned around to look at Dampier, he looked at the opponent's left wing with his eyes, and said casually: "First center, I'm going to break through from your side......"
Dampier interrupted him irritablely, yelling, "Less nonsense, come on......"
As soon as his words fell, Chamberlain's step out attracted Nowitzki, Harrington seized the opportunity to rush inside, Chamberlain turned and passed the ball to jam Dampier, Harrington stretched his arms lightly and threw the ball to the hoop.
Score!
Dampier served to John Terry, who expertly carried the ball down and walked slowly down, seemingly deliberately stifling the pace of the game. But at the moment when his feet crossed the half-court, his body suddenly shortened, as if he had transformed into a rampaging dragon, his clothes hunting in the wind, and he threw off Barnes and ran forward in two big steps.
Harris also picked up the pace, he smashed from the flank to the penalty area, Terry ran out of the middle and suddenly turned, took advantage of Howard's cover to slip to the left wing corner area, and threw a shot.
Barnes had a hard time chasing and tried to interfere when he saw Terry's shot, but the ball still fell into the hoop. Seeing this, Terry smiled and made a 'poof' sound with his arms stretched out in his mouth, making a classic bomber pose.
Chamberlain asked for the ball in the low post, he hit Dampier with his back, crashed into the basket and threw the ball to Barnes outside the three-point line in the bottom corner.
Barnes finally found his chance for revenge, and without saying a word, he threw a long shot over Terry's head.
Harris dribbled the ball to lift the Mavericks' offensive speed again, and when he got to the frontcourt, his calf muscles tightened, and he accelerated incredibly again, cutting Jackson to break through. The latter knew that he was not as fast as his opponent, so he slammed it outward, and Harris, who was speeding up, was knocked by him, and Jackson followed, and immediately blocked him again.
Nowitzki asked for the ball, and in the face of Chamberlain's defense, he slammed sideways with his shoulder, but Chamberlain did not move, but he himself was knocked back. This scene made Nowitzki's face look unprecedentedly difficult, and he didn't believe in evil, and after protecting the ball, he slammed forward again.
Chamberlain took a deep breath and sank into the dantian, but Nowitzki suddenly shook his shoulders, and it was only a feint before, he quickly bypassed Chamberlain to kill the inside, and the jump was a mid-range shot.
Fooled?! Chamberlain was born by Nowitzki's cunning Buddha and Nirvana, and when Jackson dribbled to the three-point line, he immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Let me come!" ”
Dampier was full of grief and indignation, Nima, you have a hair, you kid can't stop a little? When Lao Tzu was a rookie, he was not as arrogant as you!
Jackson made a gesture to Chamberlain, and Nowitzki and Howard rushed in the direction of the latter, both squeezing into the box. Seeing this, Jackson smiled proudly, and easily handed the ball to Petrus in the vacant position, and Pi Erye received the ball and aimed at the hoop, shaking his hand and shooting out.
All of a sudden, both sides exerted all their strength, the Mavericks were bent on revenge, and the Warriors were determined not to let them succeed in revenge and carry the reputation of the soft egg for another period of time, so the game became hot in the desire to win.
Nowitzki took the initiative to get the ball and singled Oxlade-Chamberlain, but when the latter was really one-on-one with him, he passed the ball into the box. Dampier finally had a chance, he knocked away Harrington, who was far inferior to him, jumped up and dunked, and burst into tears: "Ye is the No. 1 center in the West!" ”
"Damn, everyone has become cunning these days, there are too many liars, and there are not enough fools." Chamberlain sighed with emotion, and ran forward with his head down, and the game was officially white-hot.
In fact, Chamberlain didn't have any other thoughts about the Mavericks, and he was a fan of him before, and when he was in middle school, it was when Nowitzki and Nash teamed up to turn the NBA upside down, and that kind of hearty offense really made him look hilarious.
He didn't experience the crazy black eight between the Warriors and the Mavericks in the playoffs last season, so he didn't know enough about the hatred between the two teams, he played so hard, but he couldn't get used to Nowitzki's arrogance, how can it drop, are you the top interior in the West? I'm sorry, Lao Tzu specializes in top-notch insiders!
Junior General Johnson seemed to have guessed the source of Chamberlain's fighting spirit, and after eight minutes of play in the second quarter, he replaced Nowitzki with Juvan Howard.
Seeing Nowitzki leave the field, Chamberlain felt a little regretful, and in his opinion, this stubborn German man in the whole field was worthy of his full strength to defend. Just when he was a little uneasy, Nelson Sr. suddenly replaced him as well, Evans replaced him as center, Barnes and Jackson went off, and Ellis and Davis came on together.
Chamberlain was trying to take advantage of Nowitzki's departure to play a good show in the penalty area, but the opportunity was so messed up by old Nelson, especially what made him unhappy was that Davis actually appeared.
Indignant, Chamberlain rubbed in front of old Nelson and vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction: "BOSS, I think I still have a lot of physical strength, and it's absolutely no problem to play the whole game." ”
Old Nelson looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he whispered to Chamberlain: "You will weaken Byron's ability on the field, do you understand?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Chamberlain was aggrieved to death, and he hurriedly defended: "BOSS, I really want to partner with Byron, but he doesn't pass the ball to me, you see that after I grab the rebound, I will occasionally pass him a few balls." ”
Old Nelson shook his head and said, "You still don't understand what I mean, I mean, pigs can only be sold when they are fattened - your game time is over today, watch the game and see how Dirk plays, and if you want to see Barkley's bad breed marry a donkey next season, then study Dirk." ”
The old man said everything so clearly, and Chamberlain was not stupid, how could he not understand what he meant? So I sat on the bench and started to watch the rest of the game honestly.
