Chapter 104 Autistic Gloves

Break between festivals.

Gary Payton and others sat on the bench, looking at the point difference with confusion.

They didn't play badly when they came back from the timeout.

The cooperation is quite tacit.

It can be said that all the tactics that should be played out.

But the score still didn't catch up, and even opened up a little bit.

outrageous.

Objectively speaking, Gary Payton also knows that the outside offense did not go well.

His high back is a unique skill, but this unique skill is not as stable as Jordan.

Under the defense of Hawkins, a former good brother, the efficiency is even lower and cannot drive the team.

At times like this before, it was Sean Kemp who stood up.

But Sean Kemp faced the Trail Blazers Twin Towers, it really couldn't drive it.

I can only steal a chicken once in a while, and the output is much lower than before.

If it was held back for a week before, the attack was like opening a gate to release water after storing water.

So now, he was squeezed seven times by the rich woman Happy Ball overnight.

After shaking it for a long time, I can only squeeze out a little bit.

The difference is huge!

Sean Kemp's restraining power couldn't be played, and it even made it difficult to play outside, creating a vicious circle.

On the contrary, the Trail Blazers hit the paint one by one, and they can play whatever they want.

Whether it's a one-star shooting three-point frenzy, or Tim Hardaway's sharp breakthrough points, or a pair of high and low positions with one old and one young.
All of these worked.

Gary Payton thought about it carefully, and the core factor still couldn't stop Malone.

The fast pinching tactics that the Sonics are good at can hardly have any effect on Malone.

This hanging man's height and arms are long.

During the regular season, it was difficult for them to stop the offense.

Now Malone's lower body and core strength are stronger, and his defensive difficulty is double +1.

Sean Kemp and Dudley went up, which was the result of two bangs of "the elbow passed".

And the direct consequence of not being able to stop Malone is that the Trail Blazers will bloom more.

From a certain point of view, there is a gap in strength between the stars of the Sonics and the Trail Blazers.

The perfect compatibility between Ma Long and the one-star four-shot tactics was revealed.

As long as the Sonics focus on Malone defensively, Tim Hardaway, Clifford and others can take advantage of this.

Malone plays the low post, and Sabonis can continue to attack in the high post.

The simplest tactic.

After Tim Hardaway used the pick-and-roll to attract Kemp away, Malone could catch the ball and shoot directly, and Gary Payton, who was forced to switch defenses, couldn't defend him.

It is true that gloves are the best defensive player, but the outside line and the inside line are completely different, especially Malone's height is also unsolvable at the center.

All in all it's confusing.

Gary Payton was a little confused by Malone, not knowing what to do to win.

When playing against the Rockets and Olajuwon, I was never so uncomfortable.

George Karl couldn't think of any way for a while.

Originally, he was not a good coach with on-the-spot responses. Without good assistants, this aspect was even more obvious.

Not only was he slow to react, he was also very self-conscious and stubborn about his tactics.

A few years ago, the Sonics were blacked out by the Nuggets, which had something to do with George Karl's shortcomings.

Naturally, this game will not suddenly make up for George Karl's shortcomings because the Trail Blazers played well.

He thought about it for a long time, but he could only emphasize running more actively and playing his own tactics more resolutely.

The only adjustment made is not to double-team Malone.

Use Jordan's rules against Malone and guard against the rest of the Trail Blazers.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides played half-main and half-substitute lineups.

This time, the Sonics followed George Karl's instructions to defend Malone alone and strictly guard against others.

Then they were taught to be human by Malone.
Ma Long came up regardless of his physical strength and played continuously in the low post.

The Sonics are single-handedly defending, and they are defending against an insider with insufficient tonnage and height. Malone's strong play is extremely efficient.

Even if the Sonics hit a few three-pointers, the overall performance is only equal to Malone's singles.

And in the second half, the Trail Blazers replaced Hawkins, and the three-point defense was better, and the offensive efficiency of the Sonics dropped.

Malone's low-post singles are still efficient, but the Sonics' outside shooting percentage has decreased.

After Ma Long scored 20 points in a single quarter, he finished the second quarter 53 to 65.

The Trail Blazers led by 12 points.

Not only is the point difference even bigger, after the first half, Ma Long scored 32 points!

Seeing that he was about to run in the direction of breaking the record again, George Karl slapped his thigh anxiously, feeling that he was really dizzy, forgetting that Malone's offense does not need to rely on touch.

Unless Malone is playing a straight-arm jumper, every shot like this goes to the basket, and the touch will not affect the offense.

George Karl sighed: "I knew I wouldn't trade Hawkins."

Without Hawkins, the Trail Blazers' perimeter defense would be more than a notch worse.

In this case, the Sonics can still catch up with three-pointers.

现在
George Karl looked at the confused Gary Payton and Sean Kemp. He really had no choice but to pour chicken soup, expecting the star explosion to bring about a miracle comeback.

Intermission is over.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Sonics attacked.

After a bowl of chicken soup, Gary Payton played more resolutely, forcing a breakthrough and then split the ball.

Sean Kemp catches and passes to Detlef Schrempf.

Against Clifford, Detlef Schramff stepped back and made a three-pointer.

Without waiting for the Sonics to relax, Malone received the ball from the waist to attract a double-team and then passed the ball to Tim Hardaway, who assisted the little beetle and hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc and returned it.

56:68.

It's really better than a three-pointer, the Trail Blazers are much better than the Sonics!
After a few more rounds, the Sonics gradually became impatient and their actions gradually became rough.

Malone's low-post attack was roughly fouled by Sean Kemp, and he didn't even have time to make a shot.

The referee whistled, Sean Kemp fouled, and Malone got two free throws.

Ma Long stood on the free throw line holding the ball and took a deep breath. After recovering, he made 2 of 2 free throws steadily.

This made Sean Kemp even more irritable.

The Sonics attacked, and this time Sean Kemp seized the opportunity to rush up and squeeze into the basket with strong explosive power.

But when he was about to forcibly buckle, he was forcibly stopped by Ma Long.

The referee blows the whistle, which is an uncontroversial foul.

Sean Kemp barely stabilized his body, his eyes widened and he wanted to come up and make gestures with Malone.

But looking at Malone rubbing his elbows, his expression was 'bad intentions'

Sean Kemp suddenly calmed down, and made a stiff turn on the spot.

This movement is so stiff that it has the charm of a machine dance.

Although it was embarrassing, Sean Kemp also made two free throws, which is considered to save face.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.

This time Gary Payton stepped up his entanglement with Tim Hardaway, almost a replica of Death Coil decades later.

But Tim Hardaway's basic skills are very deep, he firmly controlled the ball without being intercepted, and passed the ball hand-to-hand to Sabonis who came to pick and roll.

Sabonis held the ball for a three-pointer at the top of the arc. Seeing that Dudley was more than one step away from him, he suddenly shot a three-pointer.

Dudley played three quarters and was abused by Malone for a long time. His physical fitness and concentration dropped a lot, and it was too late to react.

Swish!
In the absence of interference, Sabonis made a steady three-pointer at the top of the arc.

58:73.

This three-pointer made the fans on the scene happy, and almost didn't spiral into the sky in place.

Originally, they didn't like Sabonis, the real red giant, but at this moment they all cheered Sabonis' name.

The lead is getting bigger and bigger, and the Trail Blazers are playing more and more relaxed and playing better.

In contrast, the Sonics have gradually become impatient, especially Sean Kemp.

The passion of playing makes Rainman attract fans and boost the morale of teammates.

But an impulsive personality can also destroy a team.

After a while, Malone fouled Sean Kemp again, making Rainman four fouls.

George Karl had no choice but to bite the bullet and let Sean Kemp continue playing.

If Sean Kemp is allowed to go down at this time, the Sonics will really collapse!
He can only hope that the Trail Blazers play a little more aboveboard.

But unfortunately, the Trail Blazers, old and young, are all despicable
In less than half a minute, Sean Kemp was tricked into a foul by the old fox Sabonis.

Five committed!
Seeing that he was heading towards the full prison, George Karl had to put Sean Kemp down.

The Supersonic team lost a big core, and the situation that could barely be maintained was completely out of balance!
Although Sean Kemp looks defensive, he is actually the inside gate of the Sonics, and he plays a great role on the defensive end.

Without Rain Man, Ma Long was like a runaway husky, his scoring data went wild and he immediately turned on the berserk mode.

In-situ windmill dunks, split dunks, layups, hooks.
For the rest of the third quarter, Ma Long played as well as he did. He started to play high, started a big exhibition of low-post offensive weapons, and scored another 20 points in a single quarter!
The Trail Blazers have also led by 20 points!
With this point difference, even the stubborn George Karl didn't think there was hope, so he directly replaced the main force and announced his surrender.

This difference has been maintained until the end.

As the final whistle sounded, the Trail Blazers led by 20 points and won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals!
After the game, the media flooded into the stadium, eager to interview Malone.

马龙出场36分钟，26投21中，罚球10中10，砍下了52分14篮板5盖帽6助攻的数据。

52 points in three quarters!

This performance is crazy!
Even if you have to go to the NBA headquarters to pay the security deposit afterwards, it's worth it!

There is nothing wrong with saying that the Sonics were defeated by Malone alone in this game!
On the Sonics bench, Gary Payton, covered with a towel, looked at the Chinese giant surrounded by reporters.

He thought that the Sonics would lose, after all, the regular season was a bit overwhelmed.

But I never thought that my team would lose so badly!

The third quarter was marked as garbage time!

This is completely abused!

It can be said that there is no way to fight back!
With George Karl's ability, he lost like this in the first game, can he adjust later?

Gary Payton is very pessimistic, and therefore a bit autistic.
