The god who strikes iron is here

Chapter 365
1999 5 Month 9 Day.

The Little Brokers faced the Houston Mosaics in their first game at home.

Last year, the two teams also collided in the first round. Last time, the small team defeated their opponents cleanly in 3 games.

也是上一场球，郑铁交出了3场比赛，首轮恐怖场均40分1.7个篮板3次抢断2.3次封盖1次助攻。

G1-39分2个篮板3次抢断1次盖帽1次助攻。

G2-32分1个篮板3次盖帽4次抢断1次助攻。

G3-49分2个篮板3个盖帽2次抢断1次助攻。

When Zheng Tie's first-round statistics from last year were shown on the big screen, the entire audience cheered.

On-site commentator Ralph Lawler explained before the start: "Last year, Zheng scored a total of 15 points in 461 playoff games, averaging 32.1 points per game, including 40 points per game in the first round. This year We can also look forward to what he can do.”

"Zheng—"

"Zheng—"

"Zheng—"

The crowd was already chanting along. The data was so eye-catching that it was impossible not to cheer.Coupled with the selected highlight clips, Zheng Tie himself felt... wow, it turned out that I played so well in the first round last year.

"This kid, the popularity is so high now. I'm afraid it's the same at the peak of my popularity." Barkley was a little depressed, but Olajuwon had a different opinion on this.Because what "Big Dream" wants to say is...

When did you become so popular?
You didn't have the popularity of No. 7 in the season when you won the MVP.

But now that the enemy is at hand, Olajuwon still refrained from saying anything. To be honest, "Big Dream" now only wants to finish the fight quickly and go back to Houston to be lingering with his little wife.Don't say it, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, alas, even if it's a "big dream", you can't help it, can't you?

And this year, the Mosaic team barely made it to the playoffs. Everyone knows what the situation is like.

Except for Barkley who wants to fight hard, the rest of the people probably don't have any ideas.

Including Olajuwon.

……

"Brother Tie, I don't think they have much morale." Da Ben couldn't help but said when he saw the "weak fighting spirit" on the opposite side.

"Haha, anyway, we are sure to win this game. Remember to get a few more rebounds. If you can't get the rebounding champion in the regular season, then get the rebounding champion in the playoffs." Zheng Tie said with a smile.But how did he know that Big Ben actually came up with a counter-attack: "Then you can play a few more irons, brother Tie, preferably like No. 23 of the Bulls."

Zheng Tie: ...

Good guy, Big Ben, you've made progress.

You are really capable of killing two in one go.

Did I train you too much?
Game start.

The two sides started to discharge.

Mosaic team: Barkley, Mobley, Olajuwon, Michael Dixon, Sam Mack.

Small broken fleet: Zheng Tie, Nash, Big Ben, Rasheed Wallace, Rodney Rogers.

Michael Dixon is the person Zheng Tie will face tonight.

This year's first round of rookies, from the University of Arizona.

This person is quite a tragic person. A star player in college should have had a brilliant career.But because of his Achilles tendon failure, he retired after only playing for 5 years. In the second grade, he could score 2+ points and maintain a three-point shooting rate of more than 18%.So how do we deal with such a person?

of course……

Making him even more tragic.

On the court, there's no sympathy to talk about. You think you're reading a romance novel.

Seeing such a crispy person, Zheng Tie used his SSS "Zheng. Extreme Running" to give this rookie a soul crit from the very beginning.

He weighs only 86 kg, and he is no match for Zheng Tie, a 106.6 kg hunk. His defense is to squeeze hard. If the opponent wants to fight, he will be knocked off balance by himself immediately.To deal with this kind of paper man, use strength to flow without the ball, and it is a relaxed and happy fight.

The scale of the playoffs is also more suitable for a physical and strong style of play.

Zheng Tie realized this last year.

"Oh, my God, Zheng is so cruel. Michael Dixon is just a rookie, so he bullies him like this." Kenny Smith said so, but look at his tone and smile, Obviously watching a good show.

How can you sympathize with the weak on the basketball court?
You are weak and you are justified. This kind of thing does not exist on the basketball court. On the basketball court, it is absolutely - you are strong and you are justified.

After Zheng Tie knocked away, he easily got the opportunity to call, swiping——

He made all three-pointers in the opening shot, 5 of 4 shots, and scored 10 points at the beginning.

This is too powerful, the Mosaic team can't play fast at all, if it weren't for Barkley biting hard tonight, maybe what would happen.

Seeing that the opponent began to concentrate on defending Zheng Tie, Nash Jr. quickly scored by himself and brought the whole team to life.Nash, who weighed 200 pounds, was much tougher than last year under high-intensity confrontation.Moreover, the Mosaic team is one year older as a whole, and Mobley, who is playing against him, is still a first-year player, and defense is not his strong point.

Nash doesn't even need a pick-and-roll, he can force his way in.

Let Nash go in, unless you have a strong defensive core that can organize the entire defensive system to move flexibly, like the Spurs, otherwise... Nash goes in, it will be difficult to restrict him from creating scoring opportunities.

bang-

Big Ben and Rasheed Wallace did an alley-oop by themselves.

Widen the ratio difference even more.

Mobley wanted to force Nash, but was resisted by Nash. Mobley was only 180+ pounds, and he was still a rookie. When he was the thinnest in his career, it was not impossible to be squeezed by 200-pound Nash.Nash has also learned to be smart now, knowing that he has no hope of competing with his opponent, so... he simply learns from Zheng Tie's defense and uses his body to force the opponent to slow down.

After the speed slows down, everything is easy to say.

Mobley was a kid, and for someone who hasn't played in the playoffs, it's rare to get it right the first time.Just as he was entangled with Nash, a figure approached, whoever this person was, if not Little Broken Boat No. 7.

With a trick of "monkey stealing peaches", the ball took advantage of Mobley's dribble adjustment under the crotch, and touched it, immediately destroying Mobley's dribble.Mobley wanted to grab it back quickly, but was blocked by No. 7, preventing him from passing easily. After Nash picked up the ball, he immediately pushed it quickly.

This kind of counterattack after a mistake is the most difficult to keep up with, and the small boats are too fast. The two "older youths" Barkley and Olajuwon are already powerless and can only watch a group of opponents rush to attack the basket.

What's the use of Sam Mack coming back for a non-draft small forward?

Almost the whole team ran over from the small broken boat, and they hit one out of four or five. After Sam Mack was knocked out by Nash, Nash passed the ball behind his back and gave it to Rodney Rogers, who was hitting the basket on the right, for a dunk.

Sam Mike felt a little regretful at this moment.

Why did I have to be so active to come back and be abused?

Wouldn't it be better to slow down?
He dribbled the ball and passed it to "Big Dream", but was shot off by Big Ben from behind, and the little broken boat quickly pushed again.

Watch the little wreck make fast break three-pointers.

Rasheed Wallace, who received the ball, made a three-pointer.

brush--

hit.

It turns out that being able to shoot three-pointers is such a cool thing, why didn't I practice hard before?
Rasheed Wallace scored an open three-pointer under Nash's feed, which caused him to have a deep "reflection" on some of his previous thoughts.This offseason, he must work hard to practice three-pointers, and he can no longer let himself be inferior to the substitute Dongfang center in this aspect.

Tomjanovich wanted to call a timeout, but he couldn't call it in place, because there was no difference between calling and not calling.

Don't talk about tactics, the key now is that if you can't get in by yourself, if you can't get in, the opponent will chase and counterattack quickly.

Then you can only wait to die.

In fact, Tomjanovich can only replace the veteran and improve the vitality of the team, which can greatly alleviate the status quo.However, the two strongest players on this team are both veterans of a certain age. Who do you replace?Who will be replaced after the replacement?
In order to win Barkley over at that time, the Mosaic team had already emptied their homes, and it didn't last for several years, and they couldn't slow down.

Just such a few people, some even Tang Shuai himself could not call out their names occasionally.

Can't fight.

Die faster if you replace it.

When Tomjanovich was in a dilemma, Steve Nash led the team to push and counterattack quickly. In one quarter, they changed players several times, all in order to maintain the best physical fitness.

Run dead old Houston Mosaic at the start of the night.

With such a large number of rotation rhythms, the small broken boat has fully adapted to the regular season, and everyone can maintain the best physical fitness. Although the playing time seems to be reduced, but looking at the data, it is actually almost the same as before.It even looks better because it is more efficient.

Coupled with Nash playing Mobley tonight, it is like entering no man's land.

After a crazy passing organization, Nash scored 7 assists in a single quarter, and the small broken boat played a 19-2 spurt in the second half of the quarter.

In the first quarter of the score difference, the score difference was 20+.

Tomjanovich had no choice but to apply for a timeout again, because the opponent was fine, and the Mosaic team could no longer bear this rhythm.

Didn't you see that Fatty Ba and Olajuwon, who has "deficient kidneys", are already sweating and panting after only one session?
"Coach, what should we do to win?" the rookie Mobley looked at Tomjanovich and asked expectantly.

But how did he know that this question Tomjanovich... can't answer at all.

Because Tang Shuai has searched through his "Mosaic Art of War" now, but he can't find any chance.

Last year's Mosaic team could still fight, but this year's Mosaic team...

It's a ghost to win.

Even Tomjanovich unconsciously came up with this sentence in his heart.

PS: Still, keep going~~~
