Chapter 395: Open Court Battle
Moreau's opening caused the Magic to suddenly mess up, and Billups found a new point of attack, but he didn't continue to let Morrow single, but whispered to Moreau on the next serve to let him run, diluting his presence.
Then, Billups began to break through, and Nelson Jr. was suddenly out of temper by him, like a stake, every time he felt that Billups was going to break through from his left side but the opponent would go to the right, and every time he moved to the right, the opponent would break through from the left side, which made Nelson Jr. blind, he felt that he was not facing an old defender, but an old monster.
Everyone knows that the older the monster gets, the more powerful it becomes.
Billups broke through and distributed the ball to Jackson, Harrington and Evans, and for a while he had a lot of fun playing against the Magic.
Just when everyone's eyes were drawn to the former FMVP, Billups once again handed the ball to Morrow, who had already made Redick undignified, this time he shook Redick away with a feint, and then he scored a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.
"Not only can I break through, but my three-point score is also accurate!" Morrow said coldly to Reddick.
Reddick lost his soul and exclaimed, "This can't be, you weren't like that when you were in college, where did you train in the summer?" ”
Mo Luo sneered and said: "I was like this when I was in college, but at that time, the two of us fought against each other, and the person who defended you was me and the person who defended me was not you, I couldn't guard you, but do you think you can stop me?" ”
He doesn't defend well, Morrow never shies away from this, he knows his shortcomings, and he keeps working hard, but this guy on the other side doesn't know what his shortcomings are, does he think this is still NCAA? Did he think his teammates would still do the dirty work for him? Wake up, boy, it's dawn in the NBA.
Van Gundy had to send Howard on the court early, and this time it was Nelson Sr.'s turn to go toe-to-toe, with Chamberlain and West.
Chamberlain has calmed down, and after he got on the court, he even hugged Howard first, the latter is a child, at first he still had a stinky face, Chamberlain took the initiative to hug him, he felt very faced, and then his expression became relaxed.
However, as the game progressed, Howard's expression was not good-looking.
They came on the court with five minutes left before the end of the first half, the Warriors led by 11 points at 45-34, and as soon as Howard got on the court, he asked for a single, Nelson Jr. passed the ball in, and he sly turned around and hooked up for a layup, Chamberlain was deceived by him, but Evans waited aside, so the hapless monster ate a block from Evans.
Billups calmly controlled the ball, Morrow ran to drive the Magic team's defensive line into chaos, the former took the opportunity to pass in, Chamberlain turned around with his back against Howard and was about to hook his hand, the monster seemed to step on a spring, and jumped up all of a swoop, but Chamberlain didn't jump, he also turned around and made a jump shot around Howard.
The Magic's offensive firepower was also quite intense, and Turkoglu used his height advantage to deal with Morrow, whose defense has always been a shortcoming, and in the face of Turkoglou's back-to-back push and turnaround jumper, Morrow was helpless and watched the ball fall into the hoop.
Morrow broke through again, this time he ran into Howard, who was making up for the defense, the defense of the Warcraft was not comparable to the old man of Fuye, his throw was pressed down by the Warcraft, and the Magic team launched a fast-break counterattack, as a result, Chamberlain reciprocated, and Turkoglou hit the basket and was also fanned by a big hat.
The two sides battled it out on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and by the end of the first half, the Warriors had once again extended their lead to 15 points at 52-37.
The lineups of the two teams have their own advantages and disadvantages, after Ibaka's eviction, the Warriors' interior strength is not as good as the Magic team with Howard, Lewis, Gortat, and Foyle, but Chamberlain can top four envoys at a time, so the Warriors' restricted area strength is not bad. In terms of shooting guards and small forwards, the Warriors have the advantage, West and Morrow are good scorers, Jackson and Barnes are strong defensively, and Turkoglu is good, but the Magic can also make a move.
In this way, once the two sides are combined inside and outside, the strength is actually about the same, so it is the position of the defender who will determine the victory.
Billups finished beating Nelson Jr., which everyone recognized, so after the game, neutral fans were not surprised to see the Warriors defeat the Magic by a large score of 106-88.
Billups had 15 points and 16 assists in this game, which means that 50 points were directly or indirectly related to him, which is almost half of the team's total points, in addition to his five steals.
Nelson Jr.'s stats are also good, almost getting a triple-double: 11, 8, 7, of which 11 are points, 7 are assists, and 8 are turnovers, there is no doubt that in today's game, Nelson Jr. suffered crushing bullying from the opponent.
Chamberlain continued his efficient performance by playing 36 minutes and finishing with 32 points, 21 rebounds and 11 blocks to record his first triple-double of the season so far, and a triple double. The Monster opposite him had a mediocre performance, also playing 36 minutes with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks, and was overwhelmed by Chamberlain in all aspects.
After the game, Howard left the arena with a black face, and the reporters chased him for an interview, after all, today was the first court violence of the season, and if you don't make a special feature, the reporters will be Russians who don't make them uncomfortable.
Howard is uncomfortable now, how can he stay for a reporter's job to find himself unhappy? After being chased by reporters, he turned to Chamberlain and roared: "Go find that guy for an interview, he is a foundation, he will fulfill you." ”
Chamberlain was indeed interviewed, and a female reporter from American Radio and Television asked him: "Hello Z, congratulations on a great game, can you comment on the performance of both sides today?" ”
This kind of official talk Chamberlain is one by one, and it is no longer the stunned young man who couldn't even jump out of the fart when he was nervous about the microphone, he coughed and said: "We all played hard, the Magic team is a great opponent, they didn't give up the victory until the end of the game, which I admire, I think they will have a bright future, this day will not be far away, they will soon become one of the great teams in the East." As for us, we just had better luck today and won this game. ”
Of course, Chamberlain's words could not satisfy the reporter, the female reporter actually wanted him to comment on the conflict between the two sides during the game, but Chamberlain was not fooled, so she simply did not hide it, and asked directly: "Then can you evaluate the conflict that occurred today?" First, you can rate Mr. Nelson's performance. ”
Chamberlain asked, "Can I swear now?" ”
The female reporter was stunned, shook her head and said, "It's a live broadcast now, you can't say dirty work." ”
Chamberlain shrugged and said, "Then I don't have much more to say." ”
After saying this, he walked away, leaving only a group of reporters stunned to stay behind.
But they weren't without their interview subjects, with Moreau being left behind by Chamberlain, who is a key figure for the Warriors today.
From the middle of the second quarter, Morrow played until the last second, he played 31 minutes, scored 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting, he and Chamberlain combined to score more than half of the team's score, and his scores were scored at critical moments, every time the two sides fought a defensive battle and no one scored, he broke through and took the lead in cutting points, opening the deadlock many times and becoming the hero of the game.
When Chamberlain returned to the locker room, Curry was playing a video game with Ibaka, the latter yelling, and the former wearing a polyethyl sheath around his neck, which was also having fun.
Chamberlain reached out and flicked his neck cuff and asked, "Man, how are you feeling now?" ”
"Great, would you like to give it a try?" Curry said casually in a hoarse voice, his voice used to be very crisp, and with his handsome appearance, he was called the second most handsome guy on the Warriors - the first handsome guy was Chamberlain, who was handsome and athletic, and was rated as a 'cheetah-like man' by the media. Now Curry's voice has changed a lot, which makes Chamberlain a little uncomfortable.
Morrow returned to the locker room and saw that Curry was still playing video games with Ibaka, and he said angrily: "Brothers are fighting the front line, and you parasites are actually enjoying happiness in the hinterland of the rear?" This kind of traitor and thief behavior must be criticized! ”
Seeing Moreau come back, Curry threw the PSP and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up and get the champagne out, our MVP is back!" ”
Morrow has a more restrained and low-key temperament, but he was really refreshed today, and the old Nelson also took him to a press conference, which made him extremely happy to joke with Curry, but the other party praised him so much, he couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly ran into the locker room.
Chamberlain and the others laughed, and Billups pulled him and said, "Moreau did a good job today." ”
This is an obvious thing, Chamberlain glanced at Billups inexplicably and said, "I know, do you mean that we are going to buy him a gift to congratulate?" ”
"Of course, that's as it should be, but I mean something else, do you ever feel like Moreau is a man today?" ”
Chamberlain's heart sank, and Billups didn't need to say that Chamberlain also knew who he was talking about, Ellis!
The same breakthrough like the wind, the same decisive shooting, the same positive defense but poor defense, Morrow is simply possessed by Ellis today, if he continues to play like this in the future, then Ellis may not be able to continue to stay with the Warriors.
Ellis gets an annual salary of tens of millions, while Morrow only has a base salary of less than 800,000, and the difference between the two is ten times the salary, even if Morrow renews his contract next season, it will be at most four million US dollars, which is still a two-and-a-half-times difference, so why do the Warriors want to keep Ellis?
Chamberlain had no time to think about this question, because after the investigation and evidence collection by the investigation team, the Los Angeles court finally held a trial on the case of Shirley Xing**** minor and doll harming minors.
The next day, when Chamberlain received the news, he rushed back to San Francisco as soon as possible, and did not even take the team's special plane, because the speed was too slow, he and Li Qun rushed to Los Angeles with three waves of lawyers to fight this lawsuit that had made him aggrieved for a long time.
Because of the involvement of Chinese dolls, this lawsuit is becoming more and more influential, mainly because of the flight influence, in addition to the lawyer team sent by Winnie and Richard to Chamberlain, he has obtained a stronger lawyer team: the lawyer team of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the United States, and this case has also attracted much attention in China.
