Chapter 80 Showdown against the Supersonics!
The impact of the record-breaking has gradually dissipated.

After a few days of excitement, on the bus, his teammates didn't bother him anymore.

Malone sat quietly in the most spacious seat at the back and flipped through the latest information on the Supersonics.

It is said that the latest information is actually no different from what I saw in the preseason.

The Sonics roster has not changed.

At most, the lineup has been adjusted, and it has become smoother recently.

Don't look at the Sonics' victory over the Bulls. Before this game, the Sonics had a bumpy game, with almost no consecutive victories.

Win a game and lose a game.

Before playing the Bulls on Nov. 11, the Sonics were 26-8.

But after defeating the Bulls, in a game that may have been difficult in hell, the lineup was sharpened and the run-in was accelerated. The Sonics started a hearty winning streak as if they had opened up the two veins of Ren Tong.

As of today, the Sonics' record has reached 12 wins and 6 losses, peeking at the number one position of the Trail Blazers.

If Malone remembers correctly, the Sonics ended up with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses this season.

64 wins and 18 losses.

The opening 18 games lost 6 games, and the winning rate was 66%.

In the next 64 games, only 12 games were lost, and the winning rate was 81%!

It is conceivable how strong the Sonics will be after running in.

It can be said that this season, the Sonics are second only to the Bulls in the league, and they are the only three finals-level strong teams with a record of more than 60 wins.

—By the way, the other 60-win team is the Magic.

Although the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers don't know the history, they know that the supersonic strength should not be underestimated.

After all, they are neighbors in a competition area.

Compared with the Bulls, the Sonics in the same division deserve more attention, because it is very likely that they will touch the playoffs.

Based on this, the Trail Blazers made a lot of preparations.

Conduct tactical analysis on the Sonics, propose tactical plans, simulate the specific process of the game, analyze possible specific situations, make targeted tactical preparations, conduct tactical training, etc.
The focus is on Malone's performance.

Although Ma Long hasn't played a game for a few days, during the tactical training, the coaching staff found that Ma Long's strength has increased a lot visible to the naked eye!
When playing against Sabonis in the low post, Malone was obviously a little more relaxed than before, mainly because he was better at positioning, and he was much more skilled in using his feet in the confrontation.

This speed of improvement is outrageous.

But Carlesimo and the others have already seen the strangeness, and they are completely paralyzed.

I have been surprised countless times before I should be surprised.

The sensitive points have been stimulated too many times by Malone.

Unless Ma Long comes with a wave of dragon slams.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to scream out of fear caused by Ma Long.

It made Malone very unfulfilling.

But one thing to say, Malone is also looking forward to playing against Kemp.

Portland is very close to Seattle, so close that you don't need to leave a day in advance.

At noon, the bus arrived in the city center of Seattle.

After a little rest, Malone followed his teammates into the key field from the player tunnel at around 6 o'clock that night.

When entering the key field, Malone heard a lot of boos.

But in addition to the boos, Malone heard some cheers.

He turned his head and saw that it was a local Chinese waving a sign with his name, nickname or jersey.

Local Chinese cheering can be regarded as a repertoire.

Unknowingly, Malone has become a benchmark figure for Chinese in the United States.

That is, the time is too short, and information dissemination is inconvenient in this era.

If it was placed decades later, maybe Malone would have been marked with a Chinese light on his head at this time.

When Malone waved at the fans, he felt that the Sonics were very unfriendly.

Both of them are competing for the first place in the competition area. It is a competitive relationship. With the home fans cheering for the opponent, it is strange that they can be friendly.

Although understandable, Ma Long didn't give them a good look.

Clifford and others also directly ignored the supersonic.

Even Hawkins, the former Sonics veteran, had no idea of ​​interaction.

Both sides ignored.

But this does not affect the excitement of fans and reporters.

This game is very hot.

In addition to the fans' curiosity about how Ma Long returned to the team after a week of leave, the most important thing is the hot topic of "Ma Long vs. Kemp".

Although Ma Long is a big center, because he plays the power forward position most of the time, he is often regarded as a power forward.

Naturally, it will also be compared with the league's top power forward, Kemp, who is also a high school rookie.

The vast majority of views are that it is [-]-[-].

Although Kemp is outstanding, his statistics are not as good as Malone's.

场均20分11.5板2.3助攻1.1抢断1.6盖帽。

'But' is just 20+10 (Ma Long fan language)

While Kemp's advanced stats are impressive, the Sonics scored 100 points per 111 possessions and gave up just 100 points per 97 possessions with Kemp on the court.

The offensive contribution is the top, and the defensive contribution ranks No.1 in the power forward position, which is even more powerful than Rodman's limit of 100 points per 98 rounds.

Of course, this is also the reason why Karl Malone of the Jazz suffered a fractured elbow and is still resting.
All in all, Kemp's high-order data is gorgeous.

But looking at high-level data is not popular these days!
Fans don't look at this, they only look at the average data.

At the beginning of the season, Malone had a cheeky brush with the data, and the average data per game was greatly increased.

Later, there was no way to refresh, and the data returned to normal, but with the Bulls' 60+ game, it was raised again.

打到现在，马龙场均33.1分12.5篮板4.7盖帽2.9助攻0.3抢断。

Looking at the average data per game, Malone killed Kemp in seconds!
The reason why the number of Ma Long's fans has increased so rapidly is also because the statistics are very good-looking, which is very suitable for his fans to brag about and pretend to be aggressive.
In this case, Kemp glared at him viciously, which was understandable.

"It seems to be completely full of Kemp's hatred."

Malone looked at Kemp's big face, and approached Sabonis: "We will do this again, and we will cheat Kemp."

cheating?

I like!
Sabonis made an OK gesture.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the referee came to the middle circle holding the ball.

Both sides started playing.

The Trail Blazers are still the old lineup, Rhodes, Hawkins, Clifford, Malone, Sabonis.

For the Sonics, the starters are Gary Payton, Vincent Askey, Detlef Schramf, Sean Kemp, Frank Brikowski.

Malone and Kemp jump the ball.

In the end, Kemp won the jump ball by virtue of his superhuman jumping speed.

The Sonics go first!

Kemp is going to charge forward after the jump ball lands, as fast as there are police behind him.

But Malone had expected it.

He knew that he might not be able to jump, so he just put on a show and landed before Kemp, blocking Kemp's fast descent route first.

Kemp was stopped by Malone and wanted to go around, but Malone's lateral movement speed exceeded his expectations, and he failed completely!

In addition to Malone's ring, Clifford and Hawkins also blocked Payton and Detlef Schramf respectively.

After being blocked by the Trail Blazers, Payton gave up the fast break and slowed down to play positional warfare.

After advancing to the frontcourt, Payton recruited Kemp to play a pick-and-roll.

After the block, Kemp cut inside to the right side of the paint and received a pass from Payton.

Kemp received the ball and dared not be careless in the face of Malone's defense.

Although he is not self-disciplined enough, he has not been completely drained by women and alcohol, and he still has a little brain. He has studied Malone's video tape before the game and knows that Malone's defense is terrible.

Kemp was very focused, singled out Malone face-to-face, and found a gap with a probing feint!

In the blink of an eye, Kemp squeezed in abruptly with his amazing explosive power, grabbed the ball and pulled it horizontally to the upper line for a layup.

Then it was blocked from the side by Sabonis, who had no sense of presence, and slapped the ball out of the baseline.

The classic low-post trap of the Trail Blazers twin towers.

To deal with Kemp's one-sidedness, the low-position trap is really easy to use.

Malone and Sabonis high-five, then chuckle at Kemp.

Kemp looked at his smile, panicked for no reason, and had a bad premonition.
