Chapter 119 Barkley's Meat and Egg Shock!

On the afternoon of October 10th, the Trail Blazers arrived in New York and began to prepare for the opening game against the Knicks the day after tomorrow, November 30st.

The NBA is still, as always, clearing the way for business.

At the beginning of the opening game, I chose to make a big news.

It is also traditional to engage in news at the beginning.

After a long offseason, it's time to tell fans that the NBA is on.

Fans also like this script arranged by the NBA very much.

Super Trail Blazers VS Super Knicks.

Malone VS Jordan.

This opening game immediately ignited the fans' enthusiasm for watching the NBA!
They are quite looking forward to the results.

In the finals, Jordan lost the championship because of the gap inside, and Jordan, who is now partnered with Ewing, won and succeeded in revenge?
Still has Barkley to reinforce, and the strength is also visible to the naked eye, and Malone, who scored 60+ in the Olympics, will have the last laugh?
If it is the Internet age, it can definitely detonate the entire network.

Although the dissemination of information is very slow now, under the deliberate operation of the NBA, most fans around the world are aware of this matter and pay attention to this game in advance.

The opening game went out of the circle and occupied the headlines of major news newspapers.

Of course, this game is also broadcast live across the United States by many media.

Not just the game, but players from both sides were interviewed before the game.

As soon as Ma Long arrived at the hotel, under the arrangement of the team, he accepted many media interviews.

A reporter said: "Mr. Malone, are you confident that you can beat the Super Knicks?"

Malone shrugged: "Super Knicks? Ewing and Jordan are not my opponents. They are all losers. The losers' alliance of losers. What should I worry about?"

This is a lie.

After knowing that Jordan really renewed his contract with the Knicks, Malone cursed at home for a while.

Theron got so angry at night that he went down.

No one understands the power of the combination of super outside + super inside better than him.

But at this time, Ma Long certainly wouldn't say he was afraid.

First, he has confidence in himself and his teammates.

Secondly, the beautiful country likes individual stars here.

Those leeks who buy sneakers impulsively are more willing to buy the sneakers and peripherals of these individual stars.

Malone sneakers have recently sold better with the help of Dongfeng in the opening game.

In order to sell shoes better, of course I have to be more arrogant at this time.

The reporter didn't expect Malone to say that. After being surprised, he was excited and excited that he got a big news.

I still want to ask, Ma Long has already ordered his own people in China.

My own people also saved face and asked about the 50th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Ma Long responded twice, but did not give a definite answer.

But looking at domestic reporters, I guess I will do reading comprehension later, and the headline may be "Ma Long is confident of winning 50 honors."

This is also a traditional art.

The future Rockets will not be able to pass the first round, and they will be called a championship team by the domestic media every year.

After coping with the interview, Malone returned to his room to rest.

The next morning, the coaching staff held a tactical meeting to discuss how to play.

In the end there was no answer.

This is Jordan's first time partnering with a super insider, and no one knows what the effect will be.

But overall, it is quite optimistic.

The main reason is the Knicks head coach Jeff Van Gundy.

Several assistant coaches headed by Carlisle did not believe that Jeff Van Gundy could find out how to use Jordan so quickly.

Ma Long thought that Carlisle had a good vision.

Jeff Van Gundy probably doesn't know how to use Jordan.

Having said that, Jeff Van Gundy's teacher, the former Knicks coach and current Heat coach Pat Riley, has always dreamed of coaching Jordan, but his disciple realized his dream. I don't know how the NBA's No. [-] pretender feels.
The result of the final tactical meeting is to respond to all changes with the same.

No matter how the Knicks will play, they will follow the tactics rehearsed in training camp.

This tactic is more complicated than last season and has two lineups.

The first set was last season, focusing on the twin towers of Malone + Sabonis.

The second set is to let Sabonis substitute, the inside partner is replaced by Malone center, and Barkley plays power forward.

This lineup may be slightly worse on the inside defensively, but with the addition of Barkley as a ball-holding point, the offensive end will theoretically be stronger.

As for the defensive issue, the rule change of defending for 3 seconds is also taken into account.

It will be affected if you continue to fight the twin towers. If this is the case, you should change it completely.

During the preseason, both lineups played, and the results were very good.

But because of the general intensity of the preseason and Malone's ruthless strikes, he has not actually experienced the test, so it is hard to say how effective it will be.

The Knicks would be the best sharpening stone.

After the tactical meeting is to conduct some simple tactical training.

Ben Wallace is working hard as a sparring partner.

He practiced very hard and was willing to use his brain.

Compared with September, Ben Wallace has improved significantly in defensive awareness, and has a higher utilization rate of his own strength and explosive power.

At least I know how to eat cakes.

Speaking of it, Ben Wallace is also a typical basic skill, just like Nate Robinson.

They all chose multiple sports for development in high school.

Can do everything, not good at everything.

Ben Wallace is tougher than Nate Robinson.

In addition to baseball, American football, and basketball, he is also active in track and field.

Others are developing amphibiously, but this one has become a Four King Kong.

Talent is also really top.

Relying on his talent, he has been selected to the first team of the state's best high school player in football, baseball and basketball.

But this is also the most brilliant time for Ben Wallace.

I will go to university later, my luck is not good, and my academic performance is also relatively poor. I have not been well trained in university, and my basic skills are extremely poor.

Not everyone is Olajuwon. The first time he touched basketball in high school, he can become a technical expert in just a few years.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers don't expect Ben Wallace to play a role now. In addition to being optimistic about talent, the main thing is to make good friends with Malone.

Moreover, Ben Wallace's "ancient evil" appearance seems to be a very good bodyguard candidate, and it will be over when he is responsible for serving as a human shield for Malone.

Ben Wallace does not reject the role of bodyguard, and is even a little eager to try it. He really wants his teacher. Oakley of the Knicks will touch him to let the teacher know about his growth.

Really deep teacher-student relationship~
Fast forward to April 11st.

The first game day has arrived.

In the afternoon, after the lunch break, Malone rarely began to warm up in advance.

No matter how nice the words are, Malone will still be a little nervous when he really wants to play against this super Knicks team.

The words were released, and Jordan also conducted a 'Losers League?Ha, I'll let that kid know who's the loser! ' response.

Malone didn't want to be slapped in the face.

The warm-up time passed quickly.

Malone came to Madison Square Garden with the team.

Standing at the entrance of the player tunnel, you can hear the restless cries of Knicks fans.

Although it is not as good as the United Center arena at the time of the finals last season, it is much better than the original atmosphere of the Knicks.

After five o'clock in the evening, the cheerleading performance was over, the lights on the scene were dimmed, and the spotlights were on the entrance of the away team's player tunnel.

The fans at the scene gave the Trail Blazers players warm boos.

When Malone made his final appearance, the situation suddenly changed.

There were cheers.

Although it was quickly suppressed by boos, the cheers at that moment were obviously the influence of Malone as a superstar.

Malone was in a good mood.

In contrast, Jordan's face darkened in the home team's player tunnel.

He left the Bulls to come to the Knicks, in addition to financial interests and other reasons, mainly to beat the Trail Blazers.

Everything was going well.

He had a very happy time in New York these days, much better than Chicago, thinking that coming to New York was the right thing to do.

But now, Jordan is a little bit upset.

Ewing glanced at Jordan's expression from the corner of his eye, and his depressed mood suddenly improved a little.

Can't stand it now?
When you find out that you can meet nine hostile stars cheered by Knicks fans when you go out to buy a pack of cigarettes, won't your mentality explode?
It's a bit weird to describe it, but that's how the Big Apple fans behave.

Ewing has also long adapted to being hated.

At least the hat isn't green, is it?

Also because he was in a good mood, Ewing seldom smiled at the fans after he entered the field.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him, and all eyes were on Jordan.

The two sides prepare before the game.

Both sides also appeared on the big screen.

Trail Blazers: Tim Hardaway, Hawkins, Clifford, Barkley, Malone.

Knicks: Charlie Ward, Jordan, Anthony Mason, Buck Williams, Ewing.

The small forward would have been 'Big Mom' Larry Johnson.

It's just that after Jordan came to New York, he felt that Anthony Mason was more suitable for him than Larry Johnson.

Not to mention, when Jordan was a player, he still had a little vision.

In a way, Anthony Mason is really similar to Pippen.

It turns out that in time and space, after being used by the Knicks to trade Larry Johnson, Anthony Mason played better and better in the Hornets, becoming a point forward no worse than Pippen.

After Jordan trained with Anthony Mason in the summer, he really developed Anthony Mason's coping ability.

So the deal never happened.

A moment later, the referee held the ball to the middle circle, blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air.

Ma Long took off vigorously, relying on the advantage of his wingspan to touch the ball first, and pushed the ball back.

The Trail Blazers go first!

The Knicks defended well and did not give fast breaks a chance.

Jordan fit well into Jeff Van Gundy's defense, too.

Blocked after Tim Hardaway thumped past Charlie Ward twice.

Tim Hardaway didn't play hard, and Barkley picked up a pick-and-roll.

After the dismantling, Barkley ran back and cut to catch the ball, and actually carried Buck Williams into it!
Ewing has been held back by Malone, and it's too late to defend, so he can only watch Barkley hit a backhand layup!
2 is better than 0!

The Trail Blazers go first!
"Barkley's strong play also shows the change of the Trail Blazers."

A TV guest who was broadcasting live said: "With Barkley's strong singles point, there is no need to rely entirely on Malone's singles, and share Malone's pressure on offense."

"Correspondingly, Malone's own strong containment ability can also make it easier for Barkley to play singles."

"I think it's something he's never experienced with the Suns."

Barkley's idea was said by the guests.

After scoring easily, Fliggy felt tears welling up in his eyes.

It's finally easy to play singles!
As long as one man defends him, it is easy for Barkley!
Buck-Williams' defense is mainly skill and hard work, and his ability is good, but the gap with Barkley's physical talent is too large, and all experience and skills are useless.

It would be fine if Ewing blocked it, but Ewing was restrained by Malone, and the Knicks' inside line would be abused by him!

The Knicks are also aware of this kind of thing, and they are not discouraged and devote themselves to offense.

After Charlie Ward dribbled to the frontcourt, he passed it to Anthony Mason at the top of the three-point arc.

Anthony Mason has the ability to shoot three-pointers, at least there are still two brushes for three-pointers at the top of the arc, and Clifford followed him.

Anthony Mason observed the ball and passed it to Jordan on the wing.

Jordan dribbled the ball and took a step horizontally, Hawkins followed, but was blocked by a body!

Ewing's pick and roll!
Malone quickly switched defenses, but just as he was about to block the shot, he saw Jordan raise his hand and pass behind him.

When Malone turned around, Ewing had already made a jumper against the blocked Barkley.

2 is better than 2!

Jordan raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Malone.

The old rascal didn't say anything, but the sarcasm was already conveyed.

Malone clicked his tongue.

Just as he thought, after partnering with a super center, Jordan's power has been fully improved.

The cooperation between inside and outside line is the same as LOL's middle field cooperation.

These two positions will affect each other.

The inside line is stretched across the middle, and it is very uncomfortable to fight outside, because the opponent's inside (middle) can target you unscrupulously.

If the outside line is stretched, the inside line (middle lane) will be targeted and unable to play.

Once both the middle and the wild are top, it will have an effect of 1+1>2.

Jordan and Ewing have this feeling.

Although it is just a very ordinary pick-and-roll cooperation, its power has surpassed that of the Bulls last season.

Because of the 3-second defense and the limitation of slow movement, Sabonis' pick-and-roll defense is average. If Barkley is replaced by Sabonis, the result may only be a little better.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.

Tim Hardaway gave Hawkins this time.

Hawkins missed a three-pointer.

Malone and Barkley rushed at the same time.

Buck Williams and Ewing blocked it immediately.

In an instant, the basket turned into a meat grinder!
In the collision of muscles and muscles, Malone relied on Barkley's "sacrifice" (big butt as a meat shield to block people) to grab an offensive rebound!
Facing the Knicks' siege, Malone's shoulders shook.

Going to the basket?

wrong!

Ma Long feinted and passed the ball from Ewing's crotch through the crowd!

Because Malone attracted the attention of Ewing and others too much, Barkley, who was ignored by the Knicks, received the ball!

Barkley turned around smoothly, took off, and dunked!
But with a bang, Barkley was already hanging on the basket!
4 is better than 2!

Malone's improved passing ability is undoubtedly revealed!
The changes that Barkley brought to the Trail Blazers were further demonstrated.

Although the defense is not as good as Sabonis, Barkley also showed his unique impact in the NBA!

The current flying pig is a meat and egg shock instead of a meat and egg onion chicken!
Isn't it Ewing + Jordan, more offensive?Who is afraid of whom!
