The sudden surprise attack disrupted the rhythm of the Cavaliers, and when the slight holes in the defensive end of the supersonic were filled, it gave the Cavaliers the feeling of returning to the rotation of defense of supersonic speed, which made them confused.

The high-intensity pressure came back to the face, and the Cavaliers, who were eager to chase back the points in the final minute of the first quarter, made a series of mistakes.

Wade passed that Davis was cut off by Lin Dong, and Zashinas picked up the rebound inside but was intercepted by Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Watson for a mid-range, Garlindon for an outside 3.

At 45:26, when the first quarter ended, the difference between the two sides had reached an unacceptable 19 points for the Cavaliers, and it was still the ball possession of the SuperSonics, and the 45 points of the SuperSonics in the first quarter were about to touch the ceiling of the first quarter scoring in the history of NBA teams.

After all, this is not the era when small ball was prevalent and the league strongly encouraged offense, and before that, there were only a handful of games in NBA history that broke 45 points in a single quarter.

Although compared to the current NBA history, the predecessor of the Los Angeles Clippers, the Buffalo Braves, once scored 58 points in a single quarter against the Green Army in 72, but in terms of scoring in the first quarter, only the Suns scored 51 points against the Nuggets in 90.

The terrifying scoring ability sends the Key Arena into a frenzy.

Hanamichi Sakuragi, who returned to the bench, was also a little excited, and he hadn't regained such excitement on the pitch in at least ten games.

And now, McMillan has to admit that this kid's choices several times in a row are just right, and it is definitely not pure luck.

"Well done, it's long overdue!"

The rare praise from McMillan also gave Sakuragi Hanamichi more confidence, but when the break was over and the second quarter began......

"Sakuragi." Lin Dong stopped him, and with the current tactical arrangement of supersonic speed, the first half of the second quarter was Lin Dong's rotation time.

"Huh?"

"Congratulations on getting back into shape, but ...... This section will be the real test for you, remember your state and feelings, don't be affected by anything, be careful! ”

- The real test?

"The knight won't sit still." Lin Dong said with a smile: "When you encounter trouble, think more about how to solve it, and trust your own judgment and ability." ”

Although it seems to be smooth sailing at the moment, after all, it is the words that the master brother said carefully, Sakuragi Hanamichi was secretly vigilant in his heart, and nodded his head.

Honk!

The second quarter of the two sides begins.

Cavaliers lineup: Power forward No. 1 Carlos Boozer, power forward No. 55 Eric Williams, small forward No. 0 LeBron James, scoring guard No. 31 Ricky Davis, point guard No. 23 Dwyane Wade.

The supersonic lineup has also changed, with power forward No. 24 Desmond Mason, power forward No. 10 Hanamichi Sakuragi, small forward No. 9 Andre Iguodala, guard No. 31 Watson, and point guard No. 20 Gary Payton.

Lin Dong took turns to rest, and the court was led by Payton and former backup point guard Watson.

Frankly speaking, with Lin Dong's terrifying performance of 40+ per game in the supersonic speed, whether it is the main stadium fans or fans in other states in the United States, they have now equated supersonic and Lin Dong in their hearts, although Payton is still recognized as the leader of the team, but in the eyes of new and old fans, Peyton's ability feels inferior to Lin Dong.

At this time, there is no Lin Dong on the field, which always gives people a feeling of 'the main force is not there'.

After all, Payton is old, and he is no longer at the peak of a player's most glorious position, and the Cavaliers have just changed formations, Zashinas who was originally guarding the basket has been replaced, and a 203-centimeter forward has come up, which will definitely not be dead under the basket, which means that the advantage of the supersonic just now on the outside and mid-range five to four will no longer exist.

All of this made the home fans secretly pinch a cold sweat, in fact, not only them, but also Cavaliers coach Lucas, and even other players of the Cavaliers, actually think this way in their hearts.

Lin Dong is not there, it is the time for the knight to chase the score!

Unexpectedly, after the opening, Payton led the team to play quite well.

Supersonic ball possession.

As soon as Payton, who was full of energy after the break, he forced a burst of Wade, attracted Eric's bag, and leaked Sakuragi Hanamichi under the basket.

Payton passed Sakuragi wonderfully, and Sakuragi jumped on the spot without hesitation to get the first 2 points after playing today.

At 47:26, the SuperSonics continued to expand the score.

And then turned around on the defensive end, Eric, who had just come on the court, was obviously not very comfortable with the supersonic pressing defense, and was obviously not vigilant when receiving Wade's pass in the middle distance, and was tackled by Sakuragi, who came over from the defense.

Sakuragi passed Payton, Payton held the ball quickly, attracting Wade and LeBron to chase the defense at the same time, a look back at the moon, passed to Iguodala who caught up with the response, the latter outside 3 points and then hit, 50:26!

is different from Lin Dong's extreme speed of anti-counter-attack and fast attack, the entire counter-offensive rhythm is as smooth as water under Peyton's control, giving people the feeling that there is no fireworks, maybe not as exciting as Lin Dong's speed, but there is a feeling of listening to thunder silently.

This made the home arena, which was a little worried about Payton's state just now, suddenly relieved, and the scene entered a jubilation again.

Lucas on the sidelines was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, and he realized that he had entered a misunderstanding.

In terms of ability, Lin Dong may really be above Payton, especially in terms of scoring ability, with an average of 40+ performances per game in 17 games, even if you look at the entire NBA history, you can rank in the top three, and the two in front of him are feats that the ancient monster Chamberlain can only do in a specific era and under a specific environment.

You must know that even Jordan in his peak era only averaged 37.1 points per game.

But that's just the ability to score.

In the supersonic rotation and running system, if you only talk about the effect of leading the team, the ability to organize, and the ability to pass the ball, Payton is actually more than Lin Dong.

In the two offensive and defensive rounds just now, the supersonic rotation was obviously smoother and smoother than when Lin Dong led the team, and the kind of switching control of fast and slow rhythm had to be said that Jiang was old and spicy.

24 points ahead!

Knights' possession.

Having learned the lesson just now, Erik, who had just come on the court, gradually entered the state, was much more vigilant, and did not make any more mistakes to give the supersonic a chance.

But as the only point guard in history to get the DPOY, the supersonic rotation defense is also leakless under the leadership of Payton, and even two points more rigorous than when Lin Dong led the team.

McMillan clenched his fists fiercely on the sidelines.

That's the real power of running second gear!

When Lin Dong led the team, he was an offensive second-gear run-and-shoot, and his speed and scoring ability made this run-and-shoot lineup enough to pierce any opponent when defending against counterattacks.

And when Payton leads the team, it belongs to the defensive second-gear running bomb, this set of rotation defense, to a large extent, is based on Lin Dong's concept, and Payton supplements and perfects the theoretical process.

And when the two of them are on the field at the same time, coupled with the Sakuragi Hanamichi who is now suddenly enlightened and can fill in the gaps for the team, it will be enough to create a dynasty!

Seriously, the thought of running and bombing, thinking of supersound, thinking of winning championships and even creating a dynasty, McMillan couldn't help but be so excited that his face was red.

New players, new coaches, if the combination of the first season can win the championship and create a dynasty, it will definitely be enough to go down in history......

24 points, it's a win!

…………

The careful defense made the Cavaliers fail to find opportunities for a series of large-scale transfers, and they were almost defended for 24 seconds, and at the last moment, Davis barely pulled out at the 3-point baseline on the right side, and forced a 3-point shot against Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense.

Syllable!

The basketball pops up in the frame.

The home fans suddenly cheered, but the next second ......

A figure flew into the sky, like a cloud, past Desmond, who was about to rush up to grab the rebound, caught the rebound in the air, and then smashed it into the basket.

Rumble!

A wonderful dunk made the cheers of the home team just now a little embarrassing.

Number 0, LeBron James!

LeBron, who fell from the basket, did not do anything to celebrate, only a flash of indifference and ambition in his eyes.

There is also a benefit to not being as radiant as before, that is, even if you are invisible in the first quarter, it will not look dazzling, and it will not disturb your state of mind.

A really good hunter must know how to hibernate and have a clear goal.

Winning?

No.

For a role player who is about to be cut by the Cavaliers with an excuse, you have to settle down on the team before you can talk about other ideals.

And now, the person he fears the most is not on the field, and it's time for him to perform!

Supersonic ball possession.

Payton's playmaking and control of the team and the pace of the game are still fluid.

Frankly speaking, Payton, who is now 34 years old, is indeed in a period of decline, and more often on the court, he shows experience and old spiciness, revealing a kind of cunning, rather than the passion that flew with Jordan when he was young, which also makes the supersonic speed under his leadership not as sharp as when Lin Dong led the team on the offensive end.

However, that didn't stop him from pulling out the perfect offensive space and delivering a brilliant pass to Sakuragi, who had just run into the basket.

Sakuragi Hanamichi just got rid of Eric.

The 30-year-old veteran, who has been in the NBA for seven years, has a wealth of experience and a balanced strength, and is a blue-collar player with a good value for money.

He is in the opposite position with Sakuragi, and if Sakuragi Hanamichi has the ball in his hand, with Sakuragi's level of ball control, Eric estimates that there are a hundred ways to break him.

But play without a ball? When Sakuragi Hanamichi showed his physical talent and athleticism in various ways, it was a bit embarrassing for the 30-year-old to want Eric to follow him.

At this time, Sakuragi cut into the basket and saw that Payton's pass had reached the top of his head.

Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly rises into the air!

From the time when McMillan praised him and even Bob encouraged him, Sakuragi knew that his place in the supersonic was retained.

At this time, the mind is extremely relaxed, and the confidence is at its peak.

His eyes were like torches staring at the basket in front of him, his right hand had already caught the basketball, and he shouted excitedly: "Genius Sakura Bush ......"

But before the words fell, there was a sound of wind behind him, and a big hand suddenly hooked from behind.

Syllable!

Intercepted the basketball that had already been caught by Sakuragi in mid-air!
