Chamberlain's words were like a reminder to the Hawks, of course, in fact, the head coach of the Hawks arranged the trap tactics against Chamberlain at the beginning, but he solved the battle before he could implement it twice in a row, and then Josh began to target him.

Picking off the Hawks' rebound, Chamberlain passed to Iverson for a long-distance run, but Josh got stuck in the middle of the answer, and the answer at this time was no longer young after all, and the speed of the impact slowed down because he had to balance his body.

Chamberlain was the first to enter the restricted area, and Nelson Sr.'s request for him was to use his height advantage to disrupt the Hawks' formation first.

He did the same, holding the ball in his hand and slamming it hard, then turned around and quickly made a crotch dribble, lifting his shoulder to break through, after the deceived Horford retreated, he quickly jumped up and threw the ball lightly, and at the same time shouted: "The heavy sword has no edge, and the big skill is not working-!" ”

A figure flew up from the flank like a falcon, its majestic body rushing straight to its feet and squeezing the ball he had thrown down.

Josh Smith!

Chamberlain gasped, only then did he realize that he had underestimated the heroes of the world, this Josh Smith, who is also a fierce general on the defensive end.

It's a bit insulting to call Josh Smith a fierce man, and this guy's defense is really strong.

Before Chamberlain entered the league, Smith was dubbed 'perhaps the best young defender in the NBA' by NBA pundits, and as early as his first day in the league, he demonstrated a magical ability to turn his athleticism into a powerful defense.

There are few people in the league who can contribute as much as Josh Smith in chasing defense and preventing offensive and defensive transition scoring, not even Howard, and maybe James can count as one.

Smith has contributed quite a few blocks to the highlights during his career, and he'll chase the fast-break ball handlers and then pull them straight down to the basket that seems like a must-go. Before Chamberlain, Smith held the league's 100-block age record, 200 and now 500-block age record.

What Chamberlain has been breaking is Smith's record.

Not only is Smith able to get into the opposition's passing lanes to interfere, but he can also get blocks from the weak side in the half-court defense, and he also shows a rebounding sense that small forwards don't usually have, and his big strides and fast movement can help him get back the fastest.

In a word, he is the heart of the Hawks' defense.

Before Smith, the biggest problem for the Hawks was defense, even if Horford arrived later, the team's defense still relied on Smith to preside, without Smith's Hawks, it was an ATM, and the opponent only needed to enter the password and score as much as they wanted.

Smith's role is not only in attack, he uses his powerful power to break through, Blair's strong body is so strong, he hit it away, Ibaka has no choice but to wave his hand and pull him down.

After making one of two free throws, Chamberlain grabbed the rebound and the Warriors attacked, and this time he got caught in the bag and gave the ball to Ibaka, who made a jumper.

Then Horford missed a hook under the basket, Smith jumped to pick up the rebound, and then made a layup, which caught the Warriors off guard.

Old Nelson was furious, he decisively called a timeout, and without saying a word, he scolded the players present: "This is your defense? Don't fucking tell me about you pros, look what the hell you're fighting! I bet now that I'm putting Bruce on the pitch, I'm going to have to defend better than you guys! ”

Bruce Bowen smiled and waved his hand, he is now the Warriors' assistant defensive coach, and at some point on defense, he did look better than the Warriors on the outside.

Cursing, old Nelson finally vented the anger in his heart, he waved his hand, so that West, who had been warming up before, was ready to play, on that side, the Eagles were also changing, and the sixth man of the two teams stepped on the court almost at the same time.

Delonte West and Jamal Crawford, the two players who are said to be the most likely sixth man of the season to win the Sixth Man of the Year this season, began to look at each other across the court.

The referee blew the whistle and the players from both sides came back on the court, West trotted a few steps, and Crawford walked up to him, he squinted and said, "You might get the best sixth man this season, do you know?" ”

Crawford smiled and said, "I'm working on it." ”

"Strive for what." West waved his hand absently, "I'm not dead yet, how can this award fall on your heads?" Stop dreaming......"

As the words fell, Billups passed the ball over, and West got the ball and leaned over like a cheetah, roaring forward and unstoppable!

Jackson covered him in the high post, and with that gap, he shook off Crawford and headed straight for the box.

Smith made up the defense in time, and the two collided together, and West waved the ball into Chamberlain's hand.

Seeing this, Smith pushed West back to defend Chamberlain again, and Horford wrapped him one after the other, and Chamberlain stood on tiptoe to pass the ball back, West picked up speed again, received the ball and took two steps in a row, jumped out of his hand, and sent the ball steadily into the penalty area.

The Eagles were Crawford in possession, and West yelled at him, "Hey, best seventh man, come on, get me one!" ”

Crawford smiled, he was known as the fastest player after Iverson, and sure enough, in the face of West's follow-up defense, his shoulders kept swaying from side to side, with a large amplitude and high frequency, even if West had always been used to going head-to-head with Iverson, he couldn't judge the direction of Crawford's breakthrough.

Just as he was hesitating which side to defend, the Crawford ball suddenly reached his left hand, and then his right leg stepped out and rushed forward like a ghost.

West took half a step back, Crawford took a bend of his right leg, and the ball in his left hand hit the ground and passed to his right hand, changing direction and breaking through!

West retreated again, only to be stuck by Smith, and after the change of defense, the defender of Crawford was replaced by Ibaka.

Ibaka was completely stunned by Crawford, who made a pull-up jumper in front of him, and he made a useless block, just to no avail.

At 2-2, the two sixths scored one goal each in the opening game.

Seeing this, Crawford smiled at West and said, "Man, what's going on, I'm not qualified to win the best sixth man?" ”

Billups controlled the ball and advanced quickly, Johnson had nothing to do with him, he kept doing fast-paced changes in the high post, Johnson gritted his teeth and reached out to steal, Billups took the opportunity to pull his right hand out, and then twisted his waist and stepped forward, shaking off Johnson and rushing forward.

West picked up from the flank, Oxlain withdrew from the box, and the entire inside line was instantly empty.

With a flick of his wrist, Billups threw the ball in front of West, then turned sideways and jammed Crawford, who was chasing behind.

West ran forward after the ball, and Crawford was blocked when he got the ball, so that the man he faced became Johnson who switched defenses.

Johnson is helpless against the pace and speed of Billups, let alone West, who is known as the strongest breakthrough?

In front of him, West pushed forward bravely, and when he got in front of him, he flicked his left hand to the flank and then made a big turn like a windmill.

Johnson was stunned and secretly shouted "Where's the ball" in his heart, but he chased West back, only to see the opponent reach out and receive the ball from the other side, stride into the empty penalty area, and slam his arms behind his head like a titan god holding a giant axe, and dunk the ball into the hoop with a bang.

There was a second of silence in the Oracle Arena, and then the cheers thundered under the leadership of the DJ:

"MYGOD, CD (CREZY-DOG, MAD DOG'S NICKNAME), MVP!"

"Well done, Delonti, that guy you're playing with looks like a fool!"

"Man, go home and cry in your mother's arms, our mad dog has passed you like a stake!"

"All-Star, Delonti, you have to be an All-Star!"

After West's dunk hit the ground, he quickly ran to the halfway line and then made a bow in four directions.

The Eagles were furious by his arrogance, but the referees couldn't blow him, because he was currying favor with the fans, not simply provoking the opponents, listen to the fans' shouts and fanatical expressions on their faces, which suddenly rose by several decibels, and the referees bet that if they blew for West's technical foul, the complaint sheet would bury them.

Crawford seized the opportunity to make a quick layup, and West was extremely excited at the moment, and when he broke through on the wing, West's precise probe stepped forward to cut the ball off.

Unfortunately, Johnson was on the side and ready to cover Crawford, and before the mad dog could grab the ball, he fished it out first, and then threw it to Smith.

Smith pushed forward like a tank, shaking off Ibaka with his speed, smashing away Billups with his body, and rumbling all the way into the box, rising from the ground to dunk.

Chamberlain jumped from the flank, his body as straight as a rocky mountain standing on the ground, his arms raised high and his five fingers were stretched out, and he accurately cushioned the ball between Smith's hands, and then the muscles in his arms were lifted and pressed on the ball to shoot down.

The reason why the fans at Oracle Arena are so enthusiastic is that the team's style of play is so wild that it constantly stimulates them to secrete adrenaline, and now the stadium ticket even has a sentence printed on it: heart patients and pregnant women are not allowed to enter.

Their warning is unique among the NBA's thirty teams.

Jackson grabbed the ball and passed it to West, who started to break fast, and West accelerated with his head stuffy, and was stunned to beat the Hawks and couldn't react, and took the lead in rushing to the front court to dunk and win.

If we can dunk, we won't go to the basket, and that's the Warriors' offensive philosophy, and that's why they always tug at the heartstrings of fans.

It's too exciting, it's too wild, it's too strong!

After the dunk, West shook his hand and signaled the fans to cheer a little louder, and the fans did not disappoint him.

The Hawks' offense was also fierce enough, and Crawford was arrogant, and he immediately launched a breakthrough, taking advantage of West's recklessness, he dumbled a shot and crashed into it, causing an offensive foul on West.

Attacking again, Horford and Smith made a response, the latter leading away Chamberlain, and the former made a dunk under the basket.

Immediately after, Billups was fast with the ball, and he just ran to the three-point line and passed the ball to West, who had been waiting for a long time to get the ball and pull up a three-point shot, hollow shot!

West raised his arms to make the posture of the goddess of victory, and raised his head to face the sky, this arrogant and proud feeling completely conquered the fans.

But then, Smith set up a cover for Crawford in the high post, who ran out of the open space and pulled a step sideways, making a decisive jump.

Both sixths played games worthy of their reputations, West was like a god of war, passionate, never-say-die, and fierce, while Crawford was a god-level assassin who walked in the dark, marching like a cheetah, attacking like a viper, and fierce like a hungry wolf......

All of a sudden, the two men went heads-up, and the players on both sides invariably became bystanders, watching the two compete for the title of best sixth man.

West's strong attack, Crawford's serpentine break......

West's pull-up jumper, Crawford's mid-range throw......

West's powerful back-to-back hit, Crawford's butterfly wears a flower step......

Different offensive methods, different scoring methods, but the same exciting, the fans of the Oracle Center Arena were dumbfounded for a while, now it doesn't matter who they cheer for, anyway, the players on the scene have the same belief in their hearts: for basketball!
