Chapter 735: Sadistic Insider
The Warriors got off to a successful start, and Calderon had a blazing eye for revenge.
The ball just now actually had a lot to do with his poor defense, if he hadn't been thrown off by Billups, then the bag of Nabosh and Bagnani would have allowed Chamberlain to restrain a little, instead of a reckless dunk at the beginning.
Calderon's name is Calderon, which happens to be the same name as the world-famous CPU manufacturer Intel and AMD's Celeron. This CPU is known for its stable performance, and Calderón on the court is no different, he is always energetic and never stop on the court, even in the Spanish men's basketball team, he is also a point guard and the offensive engine of the Spanish national team.
The only thing the Raptors can do right now is offense, and each of their five starters can score, even point guard Calderon is an excellent scorer.
Calderon's offensive methods are mainly mid-range shooting and driving layups, he has a good hand, is a typical shooter, and his mid-range and three-point shooting ability are considered first-class in the NBA.
The most commendable thing is that this guy is very accurate in his free throws: so far this season, he has set a second-highest record in NBA history with 87 consecutive free throws, and he has played more than half of the season, and his free throw shooting percentage is an incredible 98. 1%, ranking first in the league!
Compared to the offense, Calderon is more powerful than passing, he is the kind of traditional point guard, the selfless and cautious passer, and he has a good big-picture vision and court vision that is rarely seen by American guards.
Bosh ran around the edge of the box with Ibaka and suddenly turned and cut into the air, and Calderon immediately seized the opportunity to pass the ball in.
Ibaka didn't chase it, he calmly ran to Bagnani, who is now also on the periphery, and the Raptors have no one who can get into the restricted area.
Bosh had only run two steps with the ball when a giant figure blocked his way, Chamberlain!
Calderon saw Ibaka switch and immediately cut in from the flank to the inside, confident in Bosh's ability to respond.
Bosh did have a good view, and after being blocked by Chamberlain, he gave the ball back to Calderon, who broke through quickly, and he used his speed advantage to break through the defenders and go straight to the basket.
Stepping into the box, Calderón jumped to his feet, flicked his wrist and threw the ball.
Chamberlain threw him on Bosh's back and pushed him away, and then the tiger roared, like an arrow, and crashed directly into Calderon, who was jumping.
Calderon has a weakness, that is, the ability to fight under the basket is insufficient, although he is stronger, but because the European confrontation is not as strong as the NBA, the players there like to practice the strength of the lower limbs, while the NBA players such as Wade, Maddy, Arenas and other guards like to practice the strength of the upper limbs, and the lower limbs are thin.
Because once the NBA outside breaks through into the inside, it has to accept the iron and blood test of the inside, although the current style of play is not as exaggerated as the bad boy army, New York gangs, and Heat boxing team in the eighties and nineties, but the outside players still have to be prepared to be overturned if they want to break through.
Therefore, the outside players focus on the strength of their upper limbs, so that even if they are squeezed and hit, they can still maintain a stable balance and send the ball into the hoop.
Calderon didn't do this well, Chamberlain hit him and knocked him over directly, so that his wrist was weak, and the ball thrown had no speed, and Chamberlain slapped it with a big wave of his arm, hit the ball, and then pressed it down.
After blocking, the Warriors subconsciously chose the fast break, but the Raptors' defense was not without a hint of brightness, they were very mobile, and they quickly retreated to arrange the defense line in time, destroying the Warriors' fast break.
But against them, the Warriors didn't need to go on a fast break, everyone pulled away, leaving space for Chamberlain in the restricted area, and then Billups passed the ball in again.
Seeing this, Bagnani was full of bitterness and tried to resist Chamberlain in the back, but fortunately someone helped him this time, and Bosh also came up from the side, also against Chamberlain.
After getting the ball, Chamberlain protected the ball, then twisted his waist to face the hoop, he pressed Bosh with his shoulder, roared in his mouth, slapped the ball quickly with his right hand, and then exerted his strength, hitting the inside line like a wolf.
Bosh knew that Chamberlain had a lot of power, but he rarely faced this monster head-on before, and at that time there was O'Neal Jr. on the Raptors.
This time, when he saw Chamberlain about to attack sideways, he hurriedly took a half step back, opened up the buffer distance, and then crossed his legs and stood firm, but he just retreated, and before his footsteps fell, Chamberlain had already crashed into him.
The force of the impact was so strong that Bosh couldn't help but think of the rushing waterfall of the Hoover Dam, and he felt as if his chest had been beaten by a huge wave, and he staggered out.
Crashing into Bosh, the waves of Chamberlain's incarnation began to crash against Bagnani, and this time even harder!
He slammed twice in quick succession, and the force became stronger and stronger, and Bagnani's shriveled and thin body was staggered by him, and when Chamberlain finally collided again, he was directly knocked to the ground!
Breaking the bag, Chamberlain put away the ball with both hands, raised his right foot high and stepped out, rushed into the penalty area and roared, his legs bent slightly, and his huge body soared into the sky like a rocket!
I saw him holding the ball with one hand, his powerful arms were erected high, and the strong and powerful muscles were wrapped around his arms, like a strange python wrapped around an ancient tree, the sense of strength and savage impact was dizzying!
Soaring into the sky, when his wrist was above the hoop, Chamberlain roared and spit out turbidity, and smashed the ball into the hoop!
In the opening two consecutive violent buckles, the heating in the Oracle Center can be stopped, the adrenaline of the fans is crazy, everyone's faces are red, and the roar is shocking!
Chamberlain landed and ran forward quickly, raising his right arm and extending his index finger in an attacking stance, and the fans were inspired by it and shouted in unison: "For glory!" For triumph! Warriors, attack! ”
The roar of the fans irritated the Raptors players, and as the boss, Bosh looked solemn and yelled: "Give me the ball and I'll take care of these damn guys!" ”
He's not talking big about it, as Bosh is averaging 26 per game so far this season. 8 points, 11. 2 rebounds, which is a great inside count.
At 211 cm and 104 kg, Bosh has excellent movement speed, athleticism and good ball handling among big players, and he is known for scoring excellent layups and fouls, as well as his jump shots, which have been particularly impressive this season, and have entered the top 10 of the MVP rankings.
As the top scorer of the Raptors, Bosh has a variety of offensive means, Chamberlain personally went to guard him, and when facing Bosh, Chamberlain gave up the defense and concentrated on staring at this guy, which shows Bosh's deterrence.
Chamberlain knew that Bosh's special move was to turn over and stay in the air with the wing back, and he was also the ball that the right wing was going to reach, Chamberlain cautiously chose to defend closely, the big deal was to let Bosh break through, he could catch up, but he couldn't let him turn around and jump shot.
Bosh has a wide range of offensive means, such as blocking and cutting, aerial relays, low-post singles, breaking through the lever, and mid-range frame pull-up jumpers. In addition, he can shoot three-pointers, he also loves dunks, and he is also very adaptable, with excellent footwork in the low post, and a strong ability to avoid blocks and make fouls.
When Chamberlain chose to defend closely, he turned quickly, took the ball with his left hand, and rushed to the basket in great strides.
Chamberlain turned around and silently chased after him, his right arm held high all the way up, just waiting for Bosh to make a layup to give him a big hat.
Bosh was smart, his basketball IQ was quite high among blacks, and after eyeing Chamberlain's movements, he suddenly put away the ball and passed it to Bagnani.
Bagnani's shooting is still quite good, and he chooses a jumper above Ibaka's head after receiving the ball.
Originally, he thought that Ibaka should be easy to deal with if he was inconspicuous, but he didn't notice that in the Lantern Festival battle, the Warriors without Chamberlain relied on Ibaka to defend the inside penalty area!
Bagnani chose to shoot, Ibaka jumped quickly, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and after judging the arc of the ball's flying, he struck accurately and blocked again!
Seeing this scene, Raptors head coach Jay Triano was a little anxious, and Triano is the first Canadian head coach in NBA history. He's been in charge of the Raptors for three seasons and has a poor record, and while the team has hopes of making the playoffs, back-to-back playoff rounds have left the uniforms and fans unhappy.
Looking at the Warriors' murderous offense and defense, and then looking at the lifeless appearance of his players, Triano was so angry that his prostate hurt, he really couldn't do anything about these soft eggs, gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Run!" Running! Running! Don't give me a fucking stunned wait for a catch-and-shoot jumper! It's basketball, not billiards! Damn it! Let the ball spin for me, find an open spot and shoot! ”
Scolding in his mouth, Triano was playing his own little calculation in his heart, the contract he signed was a three-year term, and now that the three-year period has expired, it is estimated that the uniform team will not continue to renew the contract with him.
"But Colangro seems to want to hire me as an advisor to the team and his special assistant, well, this option should be carefully considered, no, it must be seriously considered, go back and I'll bring a good bottle of wine and go to the fucking old bastard's house to find out." Triano muttered to himself, and the reporters gave him a few close-ups, and they felt that the elegant manager was really working hard and was still calculating the game.
After Ibaka blocked, Jackson rushed up to get the ball, while West and Billups were nervous and ran forward with their heads down.
Jackson took the ball, as if throwing a shot put, took a step forward, flicked his arm and threw the ball to the frontcourt.
West ran at the front, reached out and grabbed the ball, and after getting the ball, he was like a hungry wolf who saw a fat sheep, and his running speed could be improved.
However, the Raptors' ability to break the fast break is indeed not bad, Calderon and Teague are also chasing quickly, especially the latter, who is less than 1.9 meters tall and thin, and he can be called a wind under his feet, as if he is stepping on Hot Wheels, and he is stunned to catch up with West.
Fitzgerald, who is very familiar with the NCAA, is naturally also familiar with Teague, and he exclaimed: "Okay, we will soon see the comet hit the earth, Jeff, this kid is skinny, but he has a big heart like a titan giant, boom!" ”
Sure enough, Teague was fearless in the face of West, and directly entangled, and actually collided with West.
West slowed down a bit, and a twinkle in his eyes flashed in his eyes, but instead of stubbornly opting to go it alone, he passed the ball to Billups.
Billups looked around him, and immediately slowed down, and then a whirlwind blew, and Chamberlain finally followed.
When Chamberlain rushed to the three-point line, Billups picked up speed again, quickly stepped forward, and led Chamberlain into the Raptors' restricted area.
"Jam me Z! Stop him for me! Triano screamed as if he had been pinched by someone, and he knew too well what Billups wanted to do.
Sure enough, Billups, who was rushing behind, did not accelerate blindly, but ran with the ball and hit Bosh who was chasing the defense at the same time, and a leg stretched out like a viper, stuck Bosh at once, and then put away the ball and threw it on the rebound.
The rest of the matter is gone.
Watching the ball whizz and fly, Chamberlain swung his hands behind his back, his body's center of gravity dropped slightly, and then jumped vigorously.
The ball flew in the air and bounced off the rebound, and Chamberlain took a step into the void as if he were stepping on something!
With his hands held high, Chamberlain received the ball like a birdcatcher, and then he looked at the hoop with his eyes, let out a muffled roar like venting, and pressed down with both arms, smashing the ball into the hoop!
"Boom!" A muffled sound, followed by a loud roar of fans.
