Chapter 10 Halftime 28+10+5!

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides changed their rotations.

The only starter for the Warriors who is still on the court is the No. [-] pick Joe Smith.

Blazers possession of the ball.

Malone and backup point guard James Robinson ran the pick-and-roll.

I thought it was necessary to pull again, but I didn't expect that it was just a back run after the pick-and-roll, and Malone ran out of neutral.

The defensive attitude of the Warriors' rotation is too lax.

Seeing a gap, James Robinson immediately passed back.

Malone wide open straight arm jumper.

duang~
The arc is beautiful, but the basketball hits the rim.

Iron!

There was a gap in the feel of the break during the festival.

The ball bounced far.

Joe Smith judged the landing point and raised his hand to catch the ball and launch a fast break.

They were all ready to take the rebound, when a huge figure suddenly squeezed in.

It's Malone!
He didn't feel right when he shot, and with his super high lateral speed, he arrived at the landing point in time.

Forcibly pushing Joe Smith out of the way, Malone got stuck, and relying on his superior height and wingspan, he snatched the offensive rebound from the top of the No. [-] pick!

Joe Smith was squeezed and staggered, feeling physically and psychologically hurt at the same time.

Both hurtful and insulting were extremely strong, making Joe Smith enter a state of extreme anger.

Seeing Malone raise his hand and make a shooting motion, Joe Smith exerted strength on his legs, trying to cover one with a strong bounce!
"Come down for me. Huh?"

In extreme anger, Joe Smith jumped up and down.

But after jumping up, he realized that Malone just feinted!
In addition to the mid-range shot, his weapon pack also has a cut!
Deceiving the champion Lang, Ma Long dribbled the ball and cut into the paint area.

The silver cut scorer badge is illuminated.

Cut-in speed, burst +5!

The hit rate of running hooks, layups, and short-range emergency stop jump shots has increased by 10%!

The speed and impact have gone up to a new level!
The Warriors center blocked him, but was directly knocked away by Malone. He could only watch helplessly as the little giant put the ball in.

Swish!
Self-throwing and self-grabbing layup!
37 is better than 35!

This goal once again aroused the emotions of the fans on the scene!

"I suddenly realized that the champion seems to be not as good as our rookie?"

"This draft, we seem to have made a lot of money?"

"Remove it, it seems that he is better than Joe Smith! We made a lot of money in this draft!"

Offensive and defensive transition, the Warriors attack.

Joe Smith came up and wanted the ball.

According to coach Adelman's instructions, Armstrong completely ignored him and organized an outside offensive tactic.

The defensive attitude of the Warriors' rotation is average, and the Blazers' bench lineup is not much better.

After a symbolic defense, Armstrong made a mid-range shot.

37:37.

Trail Blazers attack.

This time, as soon as Malone came to the free throw line, Joe Smith took the initiative to switch defenses with the center and went around in front of him.

Go around and defend?

This familiar defensive strategy almost didn't make Malone laugh.

Speaking of which, this preseason game was really a coincidence.

The Warriors coach who happened to be opposite was Adelman, Dayao's former coach.

It just so happened that Rhodes, the point guard of their team, in addition to being Irving's godfather, also served as a Rockets substitute to pass the ball to Dayao at the end of his career.

The faded memories of my youth suddenly became vivid and vivid.

Malone took a light breath and started to run.

Going around is a poor defensive tactic.

It will only be used when the weak defense is strong.

Once the opponent runs back to receive the ball, the player in front of the circle will directly face the basket, or an alley-oop, and the attack can be easily completed.

Only big centers with slow starting speed and poor jumping are restrained by going around.

Ma Long is a big center and his jumping is average, but he is definitely not slow when running back!
Especially when cutting into the paint.

The Blazers still played the pick-and-roll with this ball.

After blocking, Malone ran into the paint instead.

Once in the paint area, Malone's speed suddenly increased.

Joe Smith could keep up with this speed, but the change of rhythm made him a beat slower.

Failed to go around!

James Robinson throws a lob.

Ordinary players need to jump up to catch it. Malone just stretched his arms and caught the pass with one hand.

Without adjustment, Malone turned around to face the basket, gently shook his wrist and made a small hook, and the basketball obediently got into the basket.

Swish!
39 is better than 37!

Looking at Malone's tall and generous back, Joe Smith completely resigned to his fate.

If you can't defend, then try to attack.

Then he was blocked twice by Malone in three rounds.
Malone's mouth almost crooked.

It's so cool to have no defense for 3 seconds!

Anyway, the Warriors' center has no shooting ability, he can stay in the paint without coming out.

The length and width of the paint area is 4.88 meters x 5.8 meters

Ma Long's arms spread more than [-] meters.

Almost half covered.

Plus 90 traversing speed and 90 blocks.

The effect is similar to adding a cover to the restricted area.

As long as Joe Smith dares to rush to the frame, he dares to block the shot!
Hat Boy!
Ma Long looked at Joe Smith softly.

Compared to him, Joe Smith's mentality exploded!

Ma Long's size is too BUG, ​​and his strength and tonnage are stronger than him, so he can't rush at all.

All have this size, and the flexibility is ridiculously high!

Just now, he wanted to sneak into the bottom line to steal one, and he almost succeeded. Like a ghost, Ma Long moved sideways in front of him with incomparable flexibility.
Although he was not exposed, he forcibly pulled the lever and came straight to the three non-stick.

It's more embarrassing than being blocked.

Attacking is really impossible to attack.

The good sports scoring is completely useless.

Joe Smith felt that Malone really beat him!
He no longer entered the paint area with a deep mentality, and floated near the free throw line to shoot.

It was supposed to be a tie in the first quarter.

Under Joe Smith's excellent performance, the second quarter only started halfway, and the score became 55 to 42.

The difference between the two teams was widened.

The Trail Blazers played 6 of 4 and led by 13 points!
Adelman, who intends to let the players play on their own, directly replaced Joe Smith and put on half of the main lineup.

But it's too late.

The Trail Blazers played a role in both offense and defense because of Malone, and the state and rhythm became better as they played.

Facing the Warriors' half-main and half-substitute lineup, they played without losing the wind.

It is really impossible to prevent your outside attack.

Malone's double-gun attack in the backcourt against the Warriors was also a little bit interesting, and he lost his crushing performance against Joe Smith.

His physical condition is really good, and he has all the requirements to become an inside gate, but his defensive experience and awareness are still problems, and it is difficult to take care of all aspects at the same time.

But the Warriors couldn't defend against the Blazers' offense.

The double guns in the backcourt are very powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, it is impossible to defend against a big center like Malone.

The two sides once again formed a mutual explosive situation in the first quarter, which did not allow the Warriors to close the point difference!

After halftime, 70 to 57.

The Trail Blazers led the Warriors by 13 points entering halftime.

Malone only rested in the first half of the first quarter, and played the second half and the second quarter for a total of 18 minutes.

16投12中,其中罚球4中4,高效无比的拿到了28分10篮板5盖帽。

Rarely holds the ball throughout.

Passing the ball into Malone's hands is the end of the offense.

28+10+5 in the half!

The fans are completely sure this time that their team has found a treasure!

Although it is only a preseason game, although it is facing the Warriors who are not good inside.

But this data is too exaggerated!
The fans only saw the data, but Carlesimo saw that Malone took 16 shots, and his physical strength was still very good.

Good physical strength is one aspect.

Malone, on the other hand, played very smartly.

Except for the two fast breaks at the beginning, they all played positions after that.

Unless it is necessary, I will not use my strength to force it every time.

Malone has the conditions to use his size advantage to play.

After using the dunk to build momentum, don't dunk if you can layup.

Don't cut if you can shoot.

If you can walk and play, you will never jump to play.

The fight is to save as much effort as possible.

"The mentality is really good."

Carlesimo felt that Malone was too calm.

He is obviously a high school student, but he is very mature in spirit.

In comparison, the older No. [-] pick Joe Smith is much younger on the mental level.

With Joe Smith's weapon package, there is a better way to break the defense against Malone.

For example, use your mid-range shooting ability to cooperate with your teammates to play.

As a result, because of the top, he chose the worst way to hit the basket, which shattered his confidence and the morale of his teammates.

scary whale.

"Don't tell me, Ma Long plays like this. As a big center, he actually has the shot output of an outside core."

Carlesimo touched his chin.

Even monsters like O'Neal averaged around 20 shots per game last season.

Carlesimo felt that if Malone was able to hit the whole court, it would not be a problem for the kid to take 30 shots.

Of course, this is just the preseason.

When it comes to the regular season and the intensity increases, the situation will be different.

Looking at the entire league, there are many inside lineups stronger than the Warriors.

If you really want to defend seriously, Ma Long's physical exertion will definitely be greater, and it is impossible to really make such a move.

"However, even if it is halved, with his efficiency, it is still at the level of 20+10. In his rookie season, he was a 18+20 center when he was under 10 years old."

Carlesimo felt the happiness of discovering the little monster.

What you want is already seen.

Halfway through the third quarter, Carlesimo asked Malone to rest.

Malone was not allowed to play until halfway through the fourth quarter, and continued to practice tactics with Rhodes and Sabonis.

Without Malone, Joe Smith had a blast.

Just after having a good time, he turned his head and saw Ma Long playing, and he closed himself again.

This time the autism was more serious.

Last time there was only one Malone.

This time Malone also brought Sabonis.

Sabonis guarded the basket, and Malone followed Joe Smith.

Ma Long, whose data has already been brushed up very well, doesn't care about physical exertion at all, and just wants to tease him.

Joe Smith couldn't even play mid-range shots, and he was almost vomiting when he was defended.

No, if you defend me like this, you are not afraid that my teammates will kill you?

What?Are you leading by 20 points?

That's okay
What hatred, what hatred!
In the end, the first game of the preseason ended 130-113.

The Blazers lead the Warriors by 17 points and win!
The champion Lang Joe Smith, who received the most attention before the game, played 25 minutes, made 15 of 5 shots, and scored only 10 points and 5 rebounds.

被几乎所有媒体都不看好的8号顺位马龙,打了28分钟,22投16中,拿到了惊人的36分13篮板7盖帽。

Looking at his own data, he looked at Sima's face again, Joe Smith, and the media reporters rushing over.

Malone is very comfortable.

"You can cross out a line in the notebook!"

"Joe Smith, I don't hold grudges, there are still two pages and ten lines left in the book, if I abuse you more than 30 times, I will let you go!"
