Chapter 391 Halftime Suppression
Bruce looked at the Warriors players with a smile. Although he had great confidence in winning this series, after all, none of the teams that could enter the playoffs was a real weak team!
In the second quarter, start again at the referee's whistle!
The Warriors replaced Barkley, Ben Wallace, Kirilenko and Billups, and the main players only retained Dell Curry, who played well.
For some unknown reason, the Blazers, except for replacing Sean Kemp, the rest still maintain the previous starting lineup!
"Man, it seems we have to work harder!!" Rasheed Wallace said to Stoudemire beside him with a serious expression.
"Why not?" Stoudemire said with a smile, and even after Kemp's pass, he dribbled the ball directly to the frontcourt!
Billups stood outside the three-point line early. In order to better defend Stoudemire, he adopted a close-fitting method in advance!
"Boy, how are you doing recently?" Stoudemire dribbled the ball slowly, looked at Billups who was about to be close to him, and said with a smile.
"It feels very good!" He said simply, and then Billups posted it with his hands wide open!
With Billups' height, even though his speed is not as fast as the opponent's, but with the advantages of height and strength, he still brings a lot of pressure to the opponent!
Feeling the pressure from Billups, Stoudemire flashed a smile in his eyes, and then handed the basketball to Rasheed Wallace, who was already stuck on the upper edge of the penalty area.
The duel between the two Wallaces made the fans watch them excitedly!
In the previous season, because of the small grievances between the two, everyone was inexplicably looking forward to the duel between the two!
Especially Rasheed Wallace, what method he will use to complete the offense has caused fans to speculate!
"Ben, I'm coming!" Rasheed Wallace said to Wallace excitedly, and then leaned on Wallace, after a quick turn, his right hand suddenly pulled the ball down, and then a low Score the ball with a small hand throw!
"Aha, it seems that your defense has regressed a lot!" Rasheed Wallace said jokingly, and then quickly followed Ben Wallace's expressionless running!
Billups glanced at Ben Wallace's back with a smile, a flash of excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then after receiving a pass from Barkley, he quickly chased after him!
"Man, running is the best way to fight back!!"
At the same time that the two were in the wrong position, Billups said meaningfully to Wallace, and then slowed down a little, and ran forward behind the two!
"Running?" Wallace recalled the situation in the previous training. After a flash of excitement flashed across his face, he suddenly accelerated, like a rhinoceros, and rushed directly to the inside line with big strides!
Wallace's sudden activation caused Rasheed Wallace beside him to be slightly taken aback.
When he hurried to chase, Barkley, who had not entered the inside line on the other side, suddenly blocked him!
"Hey, big man, you need to take a break!" Barkley covered Wallace tightly, and said something slightly teasing in his mouth!
When Billups ran to the inside of Wallace, he was always paying attention to the timing of the pass. When he saw Rasheed Wallace blocked by Barkley, he seemed to be in harmony with the running Wallace. Laishi has telepathy, and when the opponent steps outside the three-second zone, he throws the basketball over!
Wallace's right foot on the floor suddenly exerted force, his entire calf seemed to be cast from steel bars, and his whole body was like a cannonball, rushing towards the basket with great momentum!
"Snapped!!"
With a soft sound, Wallace received a pass from Billups in mid-air, and the ensuing alley-oop completely showed Wallace's strong physique at a glance!
"boom!!!"
With a roar, Wallace hung on the basket with a roar, the muscles of his arms were like rocks, and they were clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes!
Wallace's explosive dunk made all the fans in the arena stand up and cheer for him excitedly. Only this purest and wildest dunk can inspire the passion of these fans!
Rasheed Wallace looked a little dignified, looking at Ben Wallace who was still screaming after landing.
With the duels in the previous seasons, he has the most intuitive feeling of Ben Wallace's ability, especially on the defensive end, he almost hates it!
An explosive and powerful alley-oop made the Warriors' bench players seem to be on stimulants. Everyone used their best skills to create trouble for the Blazers!
In the second quarter after that, although Rasheed Wallace frequently used goals one after another to recover the previous 10-point difference because of his shooting range, on the rebounds, he really played against Ben Wallace. Under the keen sense of smell, there is some momentum of disastrous defeat!
Moreover, the scoring in the interior has decreased a little bit, and some are only mid-range and sporadic long-range shots!
"Hehe, Maurice (Cheeks) must have sensed the coming of the crisis!" Rick Barry's eyes were shining with wisdom, watching Rasheed Wallace who was gradually drifting away from the inside line on the court, he couldn't help but have some fun Said.
With the current situation of the Blazers, the only one who can score is Rasheed Wallace. Once his physical strength has problems, and Ben Wallace gradually adapts to his style of play, Sean Can With Pu's current ability, he is really under the pressure of Barkley and lacks protection for rebounds.
In the second half of the second quarter, when Rasheed Wallace's shooting rate gradually declined under Ben Wallace's defense, his physical strength was also consumed in a fierce confrontation!
"drop!!"
Cheeks couldn't take it anymore and finally called a timeout with Rasheed Wallace panting and sweating!
Back off the court, Cheeks did not get angry at them, but frowned and arranged tactics for them again, then looked at Derek Anderson and others, hesitated and said: "Derek, Ruben (Patterson) , Dale (Davis), you guys are ready to play!!"
Hearing Cheeks' words, Rasheed Wallace subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Although he is not afraid of confrontation, with the massive consumption of physical strength, he really feels great pressure, especially when his teammates are difficult to score, his pressure is even more obvious!
The state of Pippen and Stoudemire can be described as role players.
When Pippen played nearly 24 minutes, his scoring can only be described as scum. If he hadn't scored 6 rebounds and 5 assists, his performance was really disappointing!
Compared with Pippen's still comprehensive skills, Stoudemire's situation will almost kill Cheeks!
In the case of playing at the same time as Pippen, Stoudemire's poor state is unbelievable. No one compares this guy who has only scored 4 points and 3 assists with the previous smart "little boy". "Flying Squirrel" combined, and some were just shocked at his poor performance!
The little flying mouse in Toronto who averaged 20 points and 1 assists per game at the peak is gone, replaced by a short guard who has been disappointing year after year after signing a big contract!
If the NBA selects the most shocking star black hole, I am afraid that the Trail Blazers will be ranked first, and no one dares to challenge them!
Sean Kemp, Damon Stoudemire, Scottie Pippen, who has been declining year by year due to injuries, and Dale Davis at sunset, the current situation of the Blazers is simply that of the stars. grave!
"Paul Allen really deserves to be a representative of stupid people with a lot of money!" Bruce said with a little emotion. Seeing the Blazers' former star players perform so badly now, he hired Paul Allen. The Blazers management team is in admiration!
Returning to the court again, Rasheed Wallace's hard resistance before gave the Blazers a chance to breathe. However, as Duncan returned to the court one after another, except for Derek Anderson's sudden outbreak, the rest of the Blazers The players still seem to be asleep, running back and forth!
As the Warriors gradually fixed the point difference at about 10 points, only Derek Anderson scored 8 points explosively and Ruben Patterson's 4 points and 2 rebounds made the Trail Blazers even better in the second half. People's eyes lit up!
During the intermission, Bruce walked directly to the bar on the second floor of the arena in a happy mood, tasting the delicious pastries on the plate, and even the cup in his hand gave him a pleasant feeling!
"Hey, Bruce!!"
With a soft call, Bruce looked up with a smile: "Hello, Rick!"
Rick Barry walked towards Bruce with a smile, sat opposite him, raised his hand to call the waiter, ordered some exquisite pastries and drinks, and then said: "Under your operation, the Warriors have shown In addition to strong competitiveness, even if we may face the Los Angeles people in the future, we also have great hope to win them."
Barry's words made Bruce feel very useful. After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "The Lakers are an exciting team. It will be a very happy thing to be able to win them, but things can happen. It's not that simple!!"
"This season, Kobe has ushered in a real explosion, coupled with Shaquille's still dominant performance, it will be very difficult to win them!"
"Hehe, it seems that you are still very sober!" Barry said very appreciatively, then took the napkin handed by the waiter, and said: "Although we have a top-level bench lineup, the Lakers also have a set of headaches. Bench gangster."
"If we meet them in the next round, of course, I don't think the Timberwolves can handle them!"
Barry smiled and continued: "If we meet them, with the thickness of the Lakers bench and the performance of Shaquille and others, especially after we lack Vince, the position of shooting guard will be under tremendous pressure. !"
Bruce listened carefully to Barry's analysis, and felt very agree with his words!
This season, even if the Lakers fail to achieve the same exciting record as in previous seasons, after all, they have a lot of experience in the playoffs, especially in the next few rounds, they will show a very good performance.
