Chapter 44 Four-teaming with nail board and big hat! (4000)

The moment Thorpe won the jump ball, Hill rushed forward.

As fast as the black person heard the gunshots!
Lindsay Hunter caught the basketball from Thorpe and threw a long pass directly.

Pistons fast break!
Harvey Grant, who was facing Hill, was a little out of shape when he first came up, and his reaction was a bit slow, and Hill successfully broke through.

If he tried to chase him again, he could only get Hill's exhaust.

Clifford reacted promptly and leaned forward.

But Hill, who caught the pass, did not slow down and made a very beautiful change of direction.

Those long legs strode forward, an outrageous cross step with large strides, instantly got rid of Clifford who was standing unsteadily, and pulled out a passage leading directly to the basket!

Sabonis was slow to return to defense.

The Blazers paint is empty!
Hill adjusted his posture, took off in one step from the free throw line, and dunked the basketball into the hoop with his body full of tension!

Even with several people, one ride is like a thousand!
"OHHHHH!"

"Hill!!!"

"MVP!!!"

The atmosphere at the Palace of Auburn Hills was instantly heated!

Malone was also a little speechless on the bench.

This breakthrough is really two miai!
The style is different from that of the old hooligans when they were young, not so explosive, but it looks full of aura.

Using racing cars as an example, Jordan is invincible in straight-line acceleration, and Hill is invincible in cornering and drifting abilities.

It's very elegant.

Having said that, Hill's speed and explosive power are also top-notch.

This can be seen from the tomahawk chop.

It's just that the change of direction is relatively stronger.

Of course, having aura is mainly related to appearance.

Rhodes, a talented man, is also the top player in the league, but no one commented on his aura.

It's very realistic.

If it is said that Hill's appearance is Yan (Yan) Emperor.

That Rhode's face value is Brother Yan.

Yan Zhili, third stage!

Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.

Unlike the speed and fury of the Pistons, the Blazers played like an old dog.

When Sabonis starts, it is natural to give full play to the singles advantage of the European king in the low position.

Rhodes controlled the ball and lowered the rhythm, almost advancing to the frontcourt with an 8-second violation.

When Sabonis settled down, Rhodes used Clifford's cover to get rid of Lindsay Hunter, and made an emergency stop jump shot before Hill made up the defense.

duang~
Hard work!
Fortunately, Sabonis pressed Thorpe to grab an offensive rebound, relying on this big dream old partner to force a tip-up and throw the ball into the basket.

The Lithuanian's low-post singles made Thorpe think of Olajuwon.

Although different types, but the same extremely difficult to defend.

Speaking of which, if he hadn't been traded, he would be partnering with Sabonis now.
Thorpe smacked his lips and ran baseline to serve.

——In the summer draft, the Pistons used the 19th pick and Bill Curley to trade back from the Trail Blazers for former All-Star power forward Odis Thorpe.

In exchange for No. 19, the Blazers chose Randolph Childress, a parallel importer.

Bill Curley suffered a serious ankle injury just after he was traded and was reimbursed for the season.

And Thorpe has played very well since the start of the season.

Although he is no longer an All-Star, he can still contribute 14 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.

The deal was a rare flop for Bob the 'Dealer'.

If Malone hadn't attracted firepower to him in Xia Tian, ​​Bob didn't know how long he would be sprayed.

Pistons attack.

Dribble guard Lindsey Hunter went upfield and threw the ball straight to point forward Hill.

In positional warfare, Hill continued to score points.

But this time it was blocked by the Blazers.

Although Harvey Grant couldn't keep up, he actively delayed the confrontation.

His efforts gave Clifford time to attack.

The man with the headband moved early, not only providing a threat of help defense, but also interfering with Hill's passing route to the weak side.

Under the paint area, Sabonis also predicted the route.

There is some space left, just to prevent Hill's breakthrough.

Hill has mid-range shooting ability, but his training is not stable enough.

He hesitated for a moment, didn't pull up the jump shot, and pulled it out to reorganize.

After some tugging, with 2 seconds left in the attack time, Joe Dumars used the cover to get rid of Rhodes.

However, when catching and shooting the ball, he was interfered by Hawkins, who made up the defense in time, and made a two-point shot to hit the iron.

Sabonis blocked Thorpe and took the backcourt rebound.

"Fortunately, there is Hawkins."

Ma Long thought.

Originally, the Blazers had the best defense near the paint, and the mid-range was also top-notch.

It's just two points long and the outside line is average.

The main reason is that the defense of the two defenders is not very good.

I am not afraid of breakthroughs, but I am afraid that the stars will be able to shoot endlessly in singles.

Hawkins has been strengthened, and the outside line is a little better.

If Malone is replaced, Clifford can focus more on the perimeter to ensure all-round defense.

"But Rhodes' attitude is not good."

Rhodes' defense was too poor this time.

It may be that I was tired back to back, and it was obvious that I was fishing. After being blocked, I didn't switch defenses, and I just used my eyes to defend.

Fortunately, Hawkins arrived in time, and there was not much time, so Joe Dumars had no time to pass the ball and had to go up by himself.

Otherwise, it will be scored by the Pistons.

Carlesimo was a little dissatisfied, stood up and went to the sidelines and shouted: "Move, gentlemen!"

Rhodes pouted and ignored the coach.

After receiving the pass from Sabonis, he put into gear and accelerated, rushing towards the frontcourt like a black lightning.

But soon after crossing the center line, Rhodes was blocked by Hill.

When Rhodes changed direction and got rid of Hill, the Pistons had already settled down on the defensive position.

Although I am tired of Carlesimo calling tactics, Rhodes plays very rationally.

Seeing that there was no chance, he did not attack again.

After his teammates settled down, the pick-and-roll was given to Clifford.

Clifford receives the ball on the left baseline.

The tentative steps and feints found an opportunity, broke through from the bottom line, grabbed the ball and pulled it horizontally to the upper line to shoot a jumper.

duang~
The opportunity presented itself, but Clifford did not take it.

Sabonis tried to rush, but this time Thorpe was in a good position and successfully protected the rebound.

Both teams did not start well.

The Blazers feel a bit cold due to the impact of back-to-back, but fortunately, Sabonis has a low-post singles guarantee.

The Pistons are used to relying on Hill's breakthrough to open up the situation, which is not easy to use in front of the Blazers.

The positional battle was difficult. Although it was possible to fight with fast breaks from time to time, there were not many opportunities, and the pace was forcibly suppressed by the Blazers.

The two sides fought a slow-paced confrontational tug-of-war.

With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, as Joe Dumars made a free throw from the free throw line, the two sides tied at 13-13.

The Trail Blazers called the first timeout and started the rotation.

On the bench, Carlesimo was very satisfied with his performance in the first quarter.

Although there is not much preparation time, they are all veterans. They did a good job of targeting Hill and did not let the Pistons play smoothly.

"It's just that Sabonis consumes a bit too much."

Carlesimo looked at the tired Sabonis, and thought, "It would be great if he was 5 years younger. No, 3 years younger."

The slow pace is to ensure the success rate.

There are Lithuanians, which is the confidence for the Blazers to play a slow pace.

Sabonis has the strength to take on the responsibility of the ball, but his physical strength and knees are seriously hindered, and he is affected by back-to-back effects. If he continues to play, his performance and efficiency will plummet.

Fortunately, the Blazers still have Malone.

Carlesimo glanced at the little giant and clapped his hands to attract the players' attention: "We played well in these 8 minutes, but we can't relax until we win the victory."

"The Pistons will definitely let Hill continue to play next, and Alan Houston will definitely play."

"Alan Houston, I think you are all familiar with it, is a top shooting guard."

"Next, in addition to protecting the paint area, we must also pay more attention to Alan Houston, so as not to make him feel like shooting."

"On the offensive end, if it's Alan Houston, then focus on him. His defense is average, and he may become a breakthrough."

Made some tactical adjustments, and the timeout ran out.

Both players return to the field.

For the Blazers, only Malone replaced Sabonis, and there were no other adjustments.

The Pistons made more adjustments, two downs and two ups, and the lineup became Joe Dumars, Alan Houston, Hill, Thorpe, and Theo Ratliff.

Malone stepped onto the field and glanced at Ratliff.

I remember correctly, this guy seems to be a rookie in the same class as him.

The 18th pick in the first round, he will also be selected as an All-Star, 1 times in blocked shots and 3 times in the second team of the best defensive team in the future, similar to Dudley's type.

Assist defense and frame protection are good, but single defense is so-so.

Especially now as a rookie.

The body is so thin, it looks like a bamboo pole.

Most importantly, Malone remembered that Ratliff was also in his little notebook
"O, let's start killing now!"

Malone's eyes lit up.

Ratliff, who was following Malone closely, felt Malone's malicious intentions.

He looked at Thorpe pitifully.

Thorpe compared his height with Malone's, and decisively ignored Ratliff's gaze.

It was difficult for him to defend Sabonis in the first few minutes.

Now change to Ma Long, who is taller, longer, more flexible, and has good small skills. You don't need to fight to know that you will be very embarrassed.

Besides, who is Malone?
The villainous rookie who crushed the postman!

It is said that the defenders who have played against him will be good if they can finish the game soundly.

Dead teammates don't kill themselves!
Rookies want to take the blame for old players!
The referee signaled the game to continue.

Trail Blazers possession.

Ratliff had no choice but to follow Malone.

I hope Ma Long will not hold grudges as he said in the interview, and forget what he said in Xia Tian!
As soon as he stood up in the low post, Ratliff was confronted by Malone.

When leaning his back on Ratliff, Malone elbowed vaguely.

Obviously there is not much room to store energy, but relying on the badge bonus of the villain's elbow, the elbow strike is very powerful.

Ratliff almost spat, taking a half-step back in the confrontation.

Rhodes seized the gap and gave the lob to Malone.

Malone catches the ball with his back.

Elbowed Ratliff again.

While taking another half step back from Ratliff's elbow, Malone turned around and took a step forward to the basket, stretching his arms and putting the basketball in.

Swish!
15 is better than 13!

This is his monkey version of Golden Rooster Independence.

It is better connected with other low-level technologies.

Ratliff's defense was not strong enough, Malone did not take a turnaround jumper, but chose a turnaround layup with a higher success rate.

This attack was too easy.

"Don't let him attack easily!"

"Take the double-team!"

Joe Dumars yelled at Thorpe a few times in dissatisfaction.

Thorpe nodded.

Pistons round.

Still the Hill organization.

This time the Pistons moved more frequently.

Adding one more Allan Houston is equivalent to having a top off-ball shooter on the court.

Alan Houston's off-ball movement is superb, involving a lot of the Blazers' defensive resources.

Hill found an opportunity, and after a successful breakthrough, he entered the paint zone in one step!
Just when Hill took off for a layup, a huge black shadow enveloped Hill!

It's Malone!
Relying on his height and wingspan, Malone stretched out his big hand from behind Hill, and nailed the basketball to the backboard!

Nail board big hat!

"OMG!!!"

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

This big hat is too cruel!
Because the jump was not high, Ma Long landed first, grabbed the basketball and threw it to the frontcourt.

The reaction of the rest of the Pistons was a bit slow, and Rhodes sprinted with all his strength and successfully counterattacked, all the way to the basket and dunked successfully.

17 is better than 13!

In this game, the Blazers led by 4 points for the first time!
After Hill fell to the ground, he staggered and was supported by a big ivory white hand.

"Are you okay?"

It's the hot guy who gave him a big hat just now.

Hill shook his head with a gentle smile: "Pretty defense."

Once again, Malone felt that Hill and the Pistons were out of place.

In exchange for Karl Malone being here like this, the postman can perform a fight and retreat on the spot.

The game was still going on, and the two did not communicate.

Joe Dumars is the point guard now.

The 32-year-old former FMVP Joe Dumars averaged 18 points per game last season.

He still has a little oil in the fuel tank, and he feels very good in this game.

He first passed the ball to Hill.

Hill cooperated with Alan Houston, and after attracting all the attention, he passed it back.

Joe Dumars found a chance and made a long two-point shot to stop the bleeding for the Pistons.

When it came to the defensive end, this time when Malone went to the low post to catch the ball with his back, he directly directed his teammates to double-team and attack!
Ratliff, Thorpe, Hill and Joe Dumars!
The Pistons double-teamed Malone with four!
This is the first time Ma Long has encountered this gang leader-level treatment.

Ma Long wanted to scold: "Don't talk about football ethics!"

"Sneak attack on my 17-year-old rookie! Is this okay? This is not good!"

He was a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the basic skills and good habits laid down in the past allowed him to protect the ball and not be taken away by Joe Dumars' little black hands.

Couldn't dribble the ball anymore.

Although it is okay to play the ball, Ma Long just wants to hit one!
When in doubt, elbow first!
Malone protects the ball with both hands and sweeps his elbows left and right, trying to create space.

Ratliff and Thorpe hit elbows successively.

The villain's elbow triggers deterrence.

In the eyes of the two, Ma Long seemed to be exuding a terrible oppressive force, and their reactions were slowed down.

Ma Long felt a gap in the suffocating double-team!

He seized the opportunity, raised the ball high, and relying on his height and wingspan advantage, he completed a straight-arm jumper in a four-person double-team!

Hill reacted immediately and jumped up to block the shot.

But Malone's shot was too high.

With this time difference, he didn't jump high enough, so he could only watch the basketball pass by his fingertips.

After drawing a perfect arc, he fell into the net!

Swish!
Malone VS Pistons four generals
In the end, it ended with Malone's victory!
　Thank you for the 1500 point reward from 'Yiya Gama', and the 500 point reward from 'Kuo Hai Dad' and 'Little Q Thief Haha'.

　　Something has happened recently, the update is a bit slow, sorry!
