Chapter 57 Buckle Ewing!

"This kid really looks like the 80s when he plays basketball!"

The official timeout, Ewing went to the bench, grinned and couldn't hold back.

Next to him, Anthony Mason Jr., who has changed defenses against Malone many times, also suffered a lot from Malone, and felt uncomfortable: "What the hell! How is he so proficient in his little moves?"

This is what little Anthony Mason is most puzzled about.

It stands to reason that even if you learn, you can't learn so fast, right?

He didn't know that Malone would focus on replaying the game between the Jazz and the Bulls every night, and deeply experience the little moves from the perspective of 'Karl Malone' and 'Rodman'.Small tricks are not a skill, so if you have a thick skin and start black, you will learn it quickly
After suffering a small loss, Anthony Mason Jr. was a little convinced by Malone: ​​"No wonder it can break the bones of that guy Karl. Malone really has some skills in this dish!"

Anthony Mason Jr. regretted it a bit, and promised Ewing to go against Malone before the game.

So far in the game, where they are targeting Malone, it is simply that the No. 11 rookie is targeting them!

"I don't have any skills, how could it be possible for Karl to suffer such a big loss?"

Among the three villains, Oakley wants to defend Clifford, but he has not defended Malone much, and he is still smiling: "He is tough and smart, and he is a great rookie."

"Patrick, can this be done?"

Oakley looked at Ewing.

Ewing put the ice pack on his knees and didn't speak.

He could feel something was wrong with his physical strength.

After being cut by Malone for a quarter and a half, and having to endure Malone's constant small movements and confrontations when attacking, Ewing couldn't stand it anymore.

Looking at Malone who was still very energetic on the Blazers' bench, Ewing's bitter and bitter face was full of envy: "It's nice to be young."

He was already playing hard in the second quarter, but the point difference still failed to catch up.

In terms of technology, Ewing doesn't think Malone can beat him.

The Knicks' hard power is no worse than that of the Blazers.

But Ma Long's talent is really unique.

Adding Clifford and Rhodes of the Blazers is not an easy role.

An open space created a good singles opportunity for Malone, a precise pass and pick-and-roll.

These tactics, combined with Malone's characteristics, make it impossible to defend.

And the previous fast break.

All this caused the Knicks to fall behind.

give up?
Do not!
Ewing patted his thigh and looked at Oakley: "If you can't do it, you have to do it!"

They are all old brothers, and Oakley knows what it means just by looking at his expression.

The black fat man smiled, turned around and actively encouraged his teammates.

Although Ewing is the boss, Oakley is the leader of the Knicks' locker room.

Opponents see him as a villain who deserves to be kicked out of the NBA.

But in the Knicks, even Ewing is willing to call him a big brother.

With Oakley and Ewing, the Knicks have the soul of an unyielding fighter.

It is said that playing in New York is impossible without a little willpower.

The NBA is recognized as the most wonderful two fans, one is the Lakers fans, who can always confidently shout "Lakers championship"

This is not bad.

The other is Knicks fans.

The New Yorkers are some of the worst fans in the NBA.

New Yorkers are impatient, they are all lovers of winning.

If the fight is slightly bad, it will start spraying, and the environment is extremely bad.

How should I put it, it has the flavor of e-sports decades later.

It may be that living in New York is too depressing, so I vented my emotions on the trolls
After losing the tiebreaker in last year's finals and being slammed, in terms of mentality, the mentality of the Knicks players may be one of the best in the NBA.

Encouraged by Oakley and Ewing successively, morale increased significantly.

The Trail Blazers also noticed this situation.

Malone doesn't like Ewing.

But I have to say that gorillas are really tough guys.

It's good to have fighting spirit!
Such an opponent is a good opponent!
Ma Long began to understand the fun of the game a little bit.

A moment later, the game continued in the second quarter, and the Trail Blazers had the ball.

Once up, the Knicks went all out.

Malone was still surrounded by Anthony Mason Jr., but this time Anthony Mason Jr. defended him even harder.

He was desperate!

Using a method almost wrestling, to stop Malone.

Malone can withstand the top, but it is a bit difficult for him to catch the ball in this way.

His body is not yet fully developed, and his tonnage has not increased in place, so he will still be affected.

After pestering for a while, Malone used the old method and took Anthony Mason Jr. to exercise.

Get moving, and the intensity of the confrontation given by Anthony Mason Jr. has come down.

But this time, the entire Knicks followed him, blocking all possible passing routes!
The Knicks veteran showed amazing tacit understanding at this moment.

The main reason is that in the second team, a reliable organizer like Rhodes is missing, and Sabonis is ill again.

The backup point guard Legler is 29 years old. Because of his age, his basic skills are very good, but he is essentially a shooter.

Clifford is the only one in the second team who can really organize with the ball!

In this case, the Trail Blazers were defended by the Knicks for several seconds without finding a chance.

There was nothing Ma Long could do about it. His first-hand support was immature, and it was a bit unsightly.

And when he comes to a high position, the threat will be much lower.

There are 5 seconds left in the attack time.

Seeing that there was no way out, Ma Long used Clifford's off-the-ball pick-and-roll all the way to the right three-point baseline before finally finding a chance to catch the ball.

He brought in Clifford again.

When Clifford passed by, he handed the ball to the man with the headband, and he cut inside the paint.

3 seconds left on shot clock.

Ewing was ready to block Malone's cut.

But Ma Long has picked up speed.

Malone stepped into the paint, caught Clifford's lob pass, and suddenly made a shot fake.

This was too sudden, and Malone really had this projection, which affected Ewing's center of gravity.

Malone collected the ball and took off after finishing the feint.

He wants to hold Ewing head-on!

Seeing his posture, Ewing immediately understood Malone's thoughts.

He forcibly stabilized his body and pushed forward without showing any weakness!

boom!
The giant and King Kong collided in mid-air!
The momentum was so heavy that the nearest cameraman and fans could hear the sound of muscles colliding!

Time seemed to stand still for an instant.

"Special!"

Amidst the exclamation of the fans, Malone roared, grabbed the ball with his right hand and avoided Ewing's block, relying on that little advantage of wingspan, his arm passed Ewing's side, and smashed the ball into the basket heavily!

Bang!

The basket vibrated violently!

Malone dunks Ewing!

After landing on the ground, Ma Long staggered a bit before standing still, his heart beating fast.

so close!

It was almost blocked just now.

Fortunately, the fake action I made before was successful.

Ewing was not fully ready, but Malone had the explosive power of the badge and the advantage of wingspan.

No matter what, success is success!

Ma Long shouted excitedly.

Ewing, who was blocked by Malone, sat down on the ground, and his whole body was shrouded in Malone's shadow.

He looked up at No. 11 shining under the light, and his big black face became more bitter: "Young and energetic. That's great."

In a head-to-head confrontation, Ma Long made the final decision!
The giant of the Rose City knocked King Kong from New York to death!
This picture is too shocking!
This is a slam dunk filled with absolute violence!
The fans at the scene were also poked at that point, shouting Malone's name frantically.

Not only did he dunk it in, but he also successfully drew a foul from Ewing.

Malone scored easily.

2+1 continued to widen the difference.

Ewing had a lot of fouls on his body, and there were some problems with his physical strength, so the old Nelson simply replaced Ewing.

Backup center Charles Smith once also had the strength of 20+8, and he was considered a quasi-All-Star insider at his peak.

But since the loss of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Chicago Bulls in 1993, Charles Smith's confidence seems to have been beaten by Jordan, and his level has deteriorated year by year.

——In the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and the Bulls in 1993, the Knicks took a 2-0 lead in this series.

After that, they lost two games in a row, and returned to the fifth game of Tianwangshan in Madison Garden. They had a chance to win the game and get a 3:2 series lead to get the match point.

But at the last moment of the Battle of Tianwangshan, Charles Smith missed four consecutive scoring opportunities at the basket, was blocked by Michael Jordan, Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen, and was defeated by the Bulls.

If you evaluate the most tragic figure in the NBA, Charles Smith must be on the list.

Since this season, Charles Smith has only averaged 8 points and 4 rebounds per game as a substitute, which is completely incomparable with Ewing.

The Knicks' offense was suddenly blocked.

On the Trail Blazers side, they are shooting all over the place, but they are getting better and better.

Malone executed perfectly what he wanted to do.

Or become a ruthless pick-and-roll robot.

Or become an empty slashing monster.

Or facing the Knicks double-teaming one-on-two in the low position, the Knicks, who have been tossing the river and the sea, have weak kidneys and weak legs inside, and then they are satisfied with the ball and go out for a three-point penalty.

The three-pointers of Clifford and others are also really impressive.

Malone attracted double-teams and gave them open opportunities, and their three-pointers came in a snap.

Although the Knicks played tenaciously under the encouragement and leadership of Oakley, they couldn't stop them.

For the rest of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers played a wave of offense by relying on three-point shots from all stars, extending their lead to 20 points in one wave!
It's garbage time to change teams.

But not the Knicks.

After the halftime break, Ewing returned and wanted to turn the tide, leading the Knicks to score 5 points in a row.

But Malone first succeeded with an air cut and dunk after a pick-and-roll.

Later, when the Knicks attacked and Derek Harper flew to the basket, Malone slapped him off!

Ewing pulled Malone to the free throw line, thinking it was far enough, but still not enough!

If he is pulled to the three-point line, Malone will not be able to come back, but the distance from the free throw line to the paint area is only a little distance, which is completely within his defensive range!

After blocking an attack, Malone was double-teamed by Ewing and Anthony Mason Jr., turned over and hit straight-arm jumpers twice in a row, scoring 6 points in a row!
Not only was Ewing's efforts in vain, but he also owed 1 point!
53 is better than 74!

Old Nelson called a timeout again, with his hands on his hips and a look of helplessness.

As long as Malone catches the ball, he shoots a jumper with straight arms, and the double-teaming between the two is no different from the open space!
The adjustments that should be made have been made, and the main players have been playing with all their strength.

But the hole buried at the beginning is too big, and the disadvantages become bigger and bigger.

Not only that
Old Nelson looked up at the big screen.

It is showing Malone's handsome face and statistics.

In three quarters, Ma Long has 36 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 assists!
