Chapter 121 It's all Ewing's fault!
Jordan actually didn't pay much attention to Dominic and Barkley.

However, the label is sold in Seoul.

Even if he was beaten by Dominic and Barkley just now, Jordan's arrogance will not change.

Sneak attack is not a win!
What Jordan cares about is Malone.

The old rascal didn't expect that with Ewing's solid basic skills, he would be intercepted by Malone.

"I still underestimated Malone's agility."

"That's right, if you can keep up with me, then you must be much better than Ewing, an ordinary center with average athletic ability."

Jordan thought.

If Ewing knew what was going on in his heart, the boxing match might have started by now.

Although he didn't know it, Ewing was also shocked by Ma Long's speed.

He is also a top four center forward.

Although the sense of presence has not been strong, and his athletic ability is much worse than those of the three animals due to injuries, he is also much ahead of other centers!
But it was actually intercepted by Malone.
Although Ma Long used elbows and small movements, if he hadn't been much more flexible than him, he would not have been able to get around successfully.

"It's even more monster than those three guys."

Ewing sighed again.

The Knicks attack.

Jordan is still holding the ball.

This time he didn't play singles again, and passed the ball to Ewing on the right.

Ewing stabilized his mind and leaned against Malone to catch the ball with his back.

Steady footsteps and a solid turn. Ewing showed textbook inside skills. After a jump, with a slightly backward posture, he avoided Malone's block and hit the board at a 45-degree angle!

Ma Long smacked his lips and said in his heart, "Ewing's hands are really stable after the rabbit jumps."

"Although he is Akalin who makes up the numbers, he is also a super center after all."

"But it also has something to do with Jordan."

Because the Knicks have Jordan as a super strong point on the outside, and the Knicks have linked the inside and outside several times in the first quarter, Malone must devote part of his attention to guarding against Ewing's pass to Jordan.

This made Malone defensive and had to consider one more option.

Defensive difficulty has always been related to the number of decisions to be made.

The fewer choices there are, the easier it is to defend.

In layman's terms, Jordan may not make Ewing stronger like Malone's badge and action pack, but it will allow Ewing to reduce the "difficulty of the game"

The Knicks last season lacked strong points on the perimeter, so Malone was able to significantly limit Ewing.

It will be difficult to defend like this this season.

But adjustment is easy, too.

Cooperate more with your teammates.

"Another way to defend against it is to increase confrontation."

"My own super lower body strength and super size have to be put to good use."

Ma Long came to the frontcourt in reflection.

Backup point guard Legler dribbled the ball upfield and handed the ball to Dominique.

According to the original character of the essence of human movies, it has now become a black hole with ball power.

But the Trail Blazers won the championship last season, and Malone's great reputation made him choose to follow the tactics.

After digging inside for a while, he dropped the ball to Malone.

Malone didn't light up his butt when he caught the ball, but faced Ewing face-to-face.

Face frame breakthrough?

Ewing was surprised, but he still stood up and put on a ready attitude.

At this time, Malone broke through with the ball.

With a tall body, it strangely gives people a feeling of extremely fast speed.

However, Ewing has excellent experience and moved his feet in front of him.

boom!
With a muffled sound, Ma Long bumped into Ewing's body, and the scalps of the players around the muffled sound tingled.

Ewing is a tough guy, but his physical condition is here.

It was more than 20 kilograms behind Ma Long, and Ma Long chiseled it open after a push.

Malone grabbed the ball extremely quickly, raised his hand and put the ball in before the Knicks could fully retract.

This breakthrough is not fast, and the technique is not very good, but the rhythm and fluency are really perfect.

It has a strong advantage in strength and height!

On the weapon platform of Ma Long, it is just a face-to-face breakthrough of the NBA's qualified level, and its power is also surprising.

But for the Knicks, Jordan and Ewing were not affected.

The fighting spirit and willpower of the two were extremely tenacious, and they were hit by Ma Long many times, leading the team to set off a fierce attack.

Jordan's style of play has added too much to Ewing.

A few rounds passed, relying on Jordan's singles and support, Ewing's mature and comprehensive skills, the Knicks' offensive was very fierce.

Fortunately, the Blazers' impact is better than that of the Knicks.

Barkley and Dominique shared Malone's pressure and gave Malone more passing options.

The two sides played evenly.

Relying on the three-pointer in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers have maintained a lead of about 5 points.

This balance of power continued until the end of the third quarter.

Ma Long watched Ewing's bunny jump and missed, and knew that his long-awaited opportunity had come.

The Super Knicks are strong, and the Jordan + Ewing combo looks perfect, but not without its weaknesses.

This weakness is Ewing's physical strength.

For three consecutive quarters, especially against Malone and Sabonis on both ends of the offense and defense, even with Jordan sharing the pressure, Ewing's physical exertion is also very high.

Persimmons should be picked softly.

Blame it on you for not having a good inside partner!
After Malone came to the frontcourt, he started a violent singles after receiving the ball at the waist.

Ewing's positioning was as perfect as ever.

Ma Long chiseled his back, but it didn't break through.

But it doesn't matter.

Now there are not so many restrictions, you can push your back as many times as you want.

Malone chiseled Ewing again and again.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Ewing couldn't take it anymore and wanted to remove the stool.

But just as he was retreating, Ma Long didn't hit back again, but turned his back extremely quickly, seized the opportunity to cut in, took a horizontal step to dodge Oakley with great flexibility, exerted strength on his wrist, and hooked the basketball in with his fingertips.

Ewing wanted to block it, but his stiff body and stiff legs made him only watch Malone complete the attack.

In the next round, Jordan missed the shot under the interference of Hawkins' pressure.

Malone played singles again, forced to the basket, and put the ball in between Ewing and Oakley's double-teams.

A wave of 4 to 0, the Trail Blazers 91 to 82, leading the Knicks by 9 points, Jeff Van Gundy called a timeout.

Jeff Van Gundy is stubborn, but his eyesight is fine.

Ewing had a problem, and if he didn't call a timeout, Malone would launch a wave of offense and completely open the score!
After returning from the timeout, the Knicks strengthened the contraction of the basket and also took out a pseudo-zone defense, but the effect was mediocre.

Ma Long's strong lower body strength ensures his anti-interference ability.

His height and long arms allow him to choose to continue attacking or distribute the ball calmly in the midst of shrinking double-teams.

Now the ability to face the frame has also been strengthened, and Malone has more tactical options when he is in a high position.

Unstoppable!

Jordan is solid.

At the critical juncture, Jordan crossed and broke through Hawkins, entered the basket and hit Malone's pull-bar layup.

After a while, he suddenly hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

But Jordan's efforts were soon offset by a dunk by Barkley and a three-pointer from the corner by Hawkins.

With Anthony Mason missing a three-pointer, the third quarter ended, and the Trail Blazers still maintained a 9-point lead.

After three quarters, Ma Long's personal data quietly increased to 30 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

Malone didn't give full play in the first half.

More is to make the ball for teammates, and consume Ewing.

Ewing failed in the third quarter, and the difficulty of offense was reduced. Malone scored 15 points in a single quarter.

Not as explosive as last season, but smoother, smoother and more relaxed.

The atmosphere here on the Trail Blazers is relaxed.

The Knicks are a bit under pressure.

On the bench, Jordan wiped his sweat and gritted his teeth.

Again!
As long as a chance is seized by the Trail Blazers, it will be difficult to come back!

This was the case with the Bulls last season, and it is still the case now with Ewing.

Why are you Ma Long so fierce? !
He looks so tall!
Malone: ​​Sorry, but to be tall is to be able to do whatever you want.

Jordan really wished he could grow 20cm taller.

Unfortunately this is not realistic.

Jordan glanced at Jeff Van Gundy.

The defensive coach's pseudo-zone defense is also not very effective.

For the Knicks, Buck Williams and Oakley are both just two meters tall.

Malone's height advantage is too great, and the effect of the pseudo-joint defense is very average.

The unique skill was useless, and Jeff Van Gundy didn't know how to adjust, holding the tactical board with a confused look on his face.

Defensive end Jeff Van Gundy has done a good job adjusting.

But Ma Long is too demonic.

With him as Optimus Prime and Tim Hardaway as a point guard, whether he is partnered with Sabonis or Barkley, the offense is unstoppable.

Seeing Jeff Van Gundy like this, Jordan suddenly missed Zen Master a little bit.

still have to rely on yourself
Jordan took a deep breath.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Malone continued to play and was no longer so active.

After attracting the Knicks to shrink, the ball was given to Barkley.

Barkley resisted Oakley to the basket and made a successful throw, showing the delicacy of Barkley.

The Knicks were attacking, and as soon as Jordan went to the frontcourt to catch the ball, he encountered Hawkins' oppressive defense.

Malone also emptied Oakley and rushed over to attack.

Everyone knows that when the fourth quarter is behind, the old hooligan will definitely choose to come by himself.

Anyway, Oakley has no offensive threat, and Malone is very relieved.

No matter how fierce Jordan's skills are, Hawkins and Malone couldn't do anything, and the ball was given to Anthony Mason.

Anthony Mason made another pass inside, and by the time Oakley received the ball, Malone had already rushed back.

Oakley had to pass it on again.

After passing the ball for a while, Jordan finally took over and missed Hawkins and Malone's fallback jumper.

Ewing and Oakley rushed, but were interfered by Barkley.

After a while of delay, Malone had rushed back and got a backcourt rebound on Ewing's head.

With a wave of his elbow, he frightened away Oakley who was about to steal the ball, and Malone passed it to Tim Hardaway.

The arc is very high, and Jordan, who was ambushing and planning to steal, failed.

This failure gave Tim Hardaway a chance.

The little beetle sprinted at full speed to launch a fast break, and simply changed direction and missed Charlie Ward for a layup.

The Blazers' offense is still very efficient.

The Knicks must rely on offense if they want to counterattack and tie the score.

But when the coach is Jeff Van Gundy, the offense can only be done by the players themselves.

The Knicks' superstar is Mammoth.

But as Ewing's efficiency declined, Jordan was targeted, and the offensive success rate widened the gap with the Trail Blazers.

Every time Malone scored a goal under the double-team, it severely hit the morale of the Knicks.

It's not like they can't score.

It's just that it's much more difficult than the Trail Blazers.

Not only did the point difference not get closer, but it was also widened a little bit.

Jeff Van Gundy's dead grass starting lineup didn't help either.

The Trail Blazers have much deeper physical reserves here.

Malone alone can beat Ewing in seconds.

Marlon is not as skilled as Ewing, but his body and physical strength surpass the gorilla by a lot.

With 1 minute left in the fourth quarter, Clifford missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Sabonis stuck Ewing, and Malone completed a dunk over Oakley's head.

Oakley almost fell, but he still couldn't stop Malone.

It's not explosive.

Malone does not need to take off to make a dunk, he can just tiptoe, and he can still score while hanging on him.

The referee whistled, Oakley fouled, and Malone's goal was valid and an additional penalty was required.

After scoring 2+1, Ma Long's personal score has reached 40 points.

The Trail Blazers' lead also came to 15 points.

With only 1 minute left, they were 15 points behind.

For another opponent, Jordan is confident of a comeback.

but the trailblazers
Jeff Van Gundy called a timeout and replaced the main players.

Jordan didn't quarrel and walked off the stage in silence.

After a while, the final whistle sounded, and the Trail Blazers beat the Knicks and won the opening game of the new NBA season!
Facing the Super Knicks, Malone played 45 minutes, 40 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. He responded with a brutal performance!
Media pundits expected the Blazers to win.

It's [-]-[-], it's all possible.

But they didn't expect that they would win so smoothly.

In the opening stage, the Knicks also took the initiative.

The combination of Jordan + Ewing proved their strength.

But I didn't expect that the Trail Blazers relied on Malone's restraint to give full play to their excellent three-pointer weapon.

When the situation is passive, he can still play the advantage and firmly lock the advantage.

I didn't compete with the Knicks, and I didn't play any tricks. I just relied on invincible operations to expand my advantage little by little, until the Knicks were completely hopeless.
This kind of steady and steady operation style is not hot enough, and there is no suspense, let alone the famous scene of "miracle comeback", but it is enough to make people desperate!

After the accident, quickly analyze the enthusiasm.

"In fact, the hard power of the Blazers is stronger than that of the Knicks."

"In inside singles, Barkley is better than Ewing, let alone Malone's bug."

"In outside singles, Tim Hardaway is only a little worse than Jordan, and Hawkins and Clifford are two excellent three-point shooters."

"Make good use of the containment force inside, with the same shooting percentage, the Trail Blazers can rely on three-pointers to widen the point difference."

"Ma Long's deep physical strength and static talent also allow him to hit the ball as always when he is slamming the defense, but Ewing can't do it."

"After such an analysis, it seems that the problem lies with Ewing?"

"It's all Ewing's fault!"

So after the game, Ewing became the one who took the blame.
　Thanks to 'Xiao Qimo' for the 2-point reward, and thanks to 'Fengyue№Fairy Tale' for the 100-point reward.

　　It's a little stuck, and I can't add more. It's too strong to write, and it's easy to turn it into a running account. Now it's a little bit, it hurts.
