Chapter 12 Expectation
Chapter 12 Expectation
When Ma Long finished training the basic skills and started training in the team, he found that some faces were missing.
It is some players on non-guaranteed contracts and players on training camp contracts.
Poor performance yesterday, or not meeting Carlesimo's requirements, was cut the next day.
"This is the business alliance."
Malone felt something.
He now understands a little bit why Clifford led people to have fun last night.
Fortunately, because of his age and previous conflicts with Dudley and old black players, he has less communication with other people.
No friends left, so it was just a feeling, not other feelings, just working harder during training.
A few days later, Malone boarded the bus to Seattle with the team.
To save money.
The Blazers can be said to be one of the richest bosses in the league, and there is no need to save money.
Just not all the time by plane.
The distance from Seattle to Portland is very short, and it usually only takes two or three hours by car.
In this case, taking a bus is much easier than taking a plane.
Ma Long still likes to take the bus.
He is too big, and he feels stuck in a plane.
When traveling in normal times, if it is not for the team's special super-large space car, Ma Long will go out on foot.
He lives in the team's apartment, and the team can arrange basic living supplies, making life very convenient.
The bus is much more comfortable.
Malone squinted in the car, and the bus had already arrived in Seattle.
He looked at the city curiously.
The first impression is that the road is very rough, looking forward and backward.
The leaves on both sides are turning yellow.
The patter of light rain looks beautiful on it.
"It really is Rain City."
Malone thought.
Just like Portland, it has the nicknames of the City of Roses and the City of Wonderful Flowers.
Seattle also has nicknames, 'Emerald City' or 'Rain City'.
The latter because it rains 365 of the 180 days of the year.
The view is very nice.
But Malone noticed the fog drifting in a part of the street.
Under the beautiful surface, marijuana is also the city card of Seattle.
Overall, very Americana.
The next morning, Malone and the team went to the Sonics' arena for team training.
Ma Long prepared very seriously.
Supersonic is definitely a formidable enemy.
The duo of 'The Glove' Gary Payton and 'Rain Man' Sean Kemp are at their peak.
There is also the All-Star in 93, Nowitzki's predecessor, 208cm tall, first-class shooting ability small forward Detlef Schramf.
This trio can be regarded as a combination of superstar point guard + superstar power forward + all-star small forward.
He had a record of 57 wins last season.
Although it is a pity that they lost to the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, Malone remembers that the Sonics reached the finals this season!
Absolute finals level powerhouse!
The inside strength of the Sonics is far better than that of the Warriors.
As for how to make a strong method, Malone specially asked the boss Sabonis last night.
"You're disturbing my private life."
Sabonis, who was watching TV with his wife and planning to go somewhere in Seattle, snorted coldly.
He came to North America to play basketball to earn money and enjoy life. Of course, he came to Seattle, a beautiful city, and brought his family with him.
Ma Long also knew this truth, and handed over the gift he brought.
Sabonis was in a much better mood. Although he looked impatient, he still explained carefully.
Unexpectedly, Sabonis approved of Kemp.
According to him, Kemp is the rare player whose personal strength is higher than his paper data.
In the playoffs with fewer rounds and more intense confrontation, Kemp's statistics have risen compared with the regular season, and he has not fallen behind in the face of several historical insiders. His offensive ability is one of the best in the power forward position of this era.
He was selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years, and he also won the second team of the best team last season. "Rain Man" Kemp is at his peak and is the head of violent power forwards.
"But Kemp's defense is average."
Sabonis said: "A large part of the reason is that he has not been polished by college basketball. He is also a high school draft pick, and he has not worked hard to polish his basic skills."
Speaking of basic skills, he glanced at Ma Long.
This kid is young, but unexpectedly very patient.
The part of training basic skills every day accounts for less than half, and I practice very hard.
Ma Longxin said that of course I know the importance of basic skills.
The inside line is different from the outside line. If you want to play a stable performance, basic skills are much more important than those fancy skills.
Malone said: "But I watched the game, and Kemp seems to be the core of the Supersonics' defense?"
"Don't interrupt me."
Sabonis continued: "His defensive habits are not good, and at the same time he is very emotional, his head is prone to heat, and his foul control is not good. He is a well-known foul king in the league."
"But it shouldn't be taken lightly."
"Look at this tape."
Sabonis handed over the videotape.
Malone watched it again, it was the game between the Supersonics and the Rockets.
He didn't expect Sabonis to carry the opponent's videotape with him.
Aren't Lithuanians less enthusiastic about the game?
Malone played the tape unexpectedly.
The video appears to have been edited.
Up is Kemp defending Olajuwon.
Olajuwon received the ball in the weak side penalty area and singled Kemp with a post.
The picture was a little fuzzy, and the details couldn't be seen clearly. Malone only felt Olajuwon shake a few times, and Kemp flew up.
That can really be called flying.
The height is scary.
Dameng was about to attack, but was blocked by Kemp, who jumped for the second time after landing
"Fuck!"
Ma Long couldn't help but burst into foul language.
What the hell is this bullet speed and explosive power?
The counterpoint is a big dream!
Olajuwon's physical fitness is not bad. When he was young, he was also a monster who flew into the sky and dunked a flat frame.
But compared to Kemp, it is obviously worse!
Nima is outrageous!
Sabonis said: "See? Although Kemp has many shortcomings, he has a body and has gained a lot of defensive experience over the years. If you underestimate him, you will suffer."
"But you don't have to worry about it."
He paused and said, "If I play, you go to play power forward. With your style of play, it will be difficult for Kemp to interfere."
"If you're playing center, the Sonics' starting center, Erwin Johnson, is mediocre, athletic, but has no range."
"Most of the time it's Kemp and Sam Perkins, who is 206cm tall, and these two swing between the 4 and 5 positions."
"The Sonics' interior defense is different from regular teams. Their frontcourt is full of players with both height and speed."
"Schramf, Kemp, and Perkins are the combination that SuperSonics head coach George Karl often uses."
"Because their back line has very good stealing ability, the defensive method is to press the ball holder and pinch the area, and then use the advantage of the athletic ability of the frontcourt to rotate positions and quickly supplement the defense."
"After the opponent makes a mistake, he will immediately push forward to counterattack and play a fast break. Kemp's running and jumping ability is a lance for a quick counterattack."
"This kind of strategy, you just need to do a good job in the pick and roll and run a lot."
"With your height and Rhode's support, you don't have to worry about attacking."
"Compared to attacking, you worry about how to defend Kemp better."
Sabonis sped up the tape.
On the screen to the supersonic attack.
Supersonic battles.
After a tug, Payton passed to Kemp.
Kemp showed a superb face frame technique that is different from the rough image.
A crossover goes past Otis Thorpe.
Before Olajuwon came to make up the defense, Kemp made a stop and hit a jumper.
A violent power forward who has mid-range shooting, can dribble, and has a strong impact.
Under Sabonis' narration, Malone gradually had a clear understanding of Kemp.
He seemed to see Amare Stoudemire in full body.
He suddenly looked forward to the fight.
Unfortunately, his expectations were in vain.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the second preseason game began. The core duo of the Sonics, Payton and Kemp, only came up to play for half a quarter before resting, and it seemed that they did not plan to play again.
Ma Long prepared for the loneliness.
"It's just the preseason."
Sabonis patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, there are plenty of opportunities to play against each other in the regular season. Now all you have to do is crush the Supersonics' substitutes."
Malone regained his spirit and nodded.
Objectively speaking, this is a good thing for him.
Simple difficulty is the best way to brush data.
Thinking about it this way, Ma Long's footsteps on the field became stronger.
In this game, Malone's playing time broke a new high.
Playing 30 minutes, facing the Sonics' bench lineup, Malone scored a high score first in Sabonis' support and Rhodes' pick-and-roll.
When Sabonis was off the court to rest and returned to the center position, Malone was furious with rebounds and blocked shots.
At the end of the game, Malone scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks.
The Blazers also won 120-111.
30+10+5 again!
Although it is only a preseason game, although the Sonics are all substitutes, non-guaranteed contract players and fringe players, but two consecutive 30+10+5 games are perfect for a rookie inside.
In addition, the rookie with this statistic is the controversial Ma Long in the summer, which has aroused a certain amount of heated discussion in the United States.
"Is it only the height? Only the height can be 30+10+5 for two consecutive games?"
"It exploded at the beginning, Ma Long is too fierce!"
"Joe Smith, Rasheed Wallace, and Stackhouse, the favorites for the best rookies of the summer, all pale in front of this little Chinese giant!"
Those media who criticized Malone in the summer, how happy they were at the time, are now miserable when they are sprayed by fans.
But for the media, being sprayed is also a kind of enthusiasm.
They were very happy to be sprayed, and felt that this Huaguo giant was likely to become a hot spot in the new season.
Just in time for the Blazers' next game against the Bulls.
The two big hot spots of Jordan and Malone get together, and there is a lot of traffic!
Numerous reporters flew to Chicago.
In any case, everyone feels that the Blazers are really competitive.
Especially the frontcourt combination of Sabonis + Malone + Clifford.
Originally, the inside line was the biggest weakness of the Bulls.
Not long ago, on October 10, the Spurs traded with the Bulls, and the head player Dennis Rodman came to Chicago.
Did the Blazers' 220+ twin towers blow up the Bulls' inside line, or did Rodman make the Bulls' inside line undergo a qualitative change?
Professionals inside the circle and fans outside the circle are looking forward to it.
Amid all the commotion, the time came to October 10th.
Malone came to Chicago with the team.
