Chapter 83 Gary Payton's Mentality Explosion

Chris Dudley couldn't guard Malone at all, and was sat all the way to the basket and made an easy layup.

30:28.

The Sonics are in a good mood.

They knew beforehand that Chris Dudley couldn't be guarded.

After the trade, when Chris Dudley explained the situation of the Trail Blazers, he mentioned the situation of the team and Malone singled out.

At the beginning, Chris Dudley was very euphemistic, saying only that it was [-]-[-].

Later, Malone played more and more fiercely, and the Sonics also understood.

This is not [-]-[-], but [-]-[-]!

They didn't count on Chris Dudley too much, but Malone's offense was so easy, which still made them a little depressed.

Gary Payton sensed the impatience of his teammates.

He yelled twice to stabilize the mentality of the others.

Gary Payton is a traditional point guard.

The offensive aspect may be lacking, but other qualities are absolutely top-notch, especially tactical literacy, which can be called a field coach.

After calming down the second unit, Gary Payton dribbled to the frontcourt and decided to roll the ball and go to the big ones, targeting a wave of Malones.

Although in the Bulls game, Malone's profound physical ability surprised many professionals in the NBA, completely violating the tradition of the big center's short combat time.

——If the game is a battlefield, then the big center is a heavy tank.

It is infinitely powerful, but it is an extreme test of the pressure of logistical support, and it is not as durable as a light tank (ordinary center forward).

However, Ma Long violated this common sense and followed him with his own refueling truck.

Shooting in the front and filling in the back.

But in any case, the consumption still has to be consumed.

No need to call cover.

Facing Legler's defense, Gary Payton broke through with an unpretentious change of direction.

Gary Payton drove one step inside the free throw line, and Malone came to help.

Malone spread his arms, giving Gary Payton a feeling of covering the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Gary Payton quickly judged that there was no chance, and pulled back to the three-point line to organize.

Malone didn't change it back, so he simply defended Gary Payton by himself.

This defensive strategy is a bit like when Duncan defended Nash alone in the playoffs between the Spurs and the Suns in the [-]s.

However, Malone is much taller than Duncan, and his defensive experience and awareness are not as strong as the future Dacheng Duncan.

On this ball, Malone didn't stick to the defense. He released Gary Payton a full two steps away and retreated to the free throw line to defend.

No matter how fast he moves, he can't beat the point guard.

Even if the center of gravity has been improved after the strengthening of the system training card, it is impossible to compare with a point guard in his early 1.9 meters.

Although Gary Payton's offense does not have the cards of a superstar, it is many times stronger than Kidd, especially the unpretentious breakthrough.

In comparison, shooting, especially three-pointers, Gary Payton has pulled a lot.

More than rubbish, just rubbish.

In the past few seasons, the three-point shooting percentage has been hovering between 20% and 30%.

Even if the three-point line is shortened, so far this season, Gary Payton's three-point shooting percentage is only in the early 30s, averaging 1 hit per game.

Malone was very relieved, and gave Gary Payton a gesture of letting go.

As soon as this gesture was made, Gary Payton was almost outraged.

Take two steps?
What do you mean?
Just look down on my three-pointers?
Is there anything so provocative? !
Even though you are so tall, within 10 seconds of hitting you, you have to kneel down and beg me not to die!
Gary Payton was short of breath and shot a three-pointer directly from the top of the arc.

Might be a mental imbalance.

With such an open opportunity, after the basketball crossed an unsightly arc, it hit the iron happily.

Clifford protected the backcourt rebound,

As Malone ran up the court, he said 'wow' to Gary Payton.

Nothing but the Gary Payton mentality.

Gary Payton knew Malone's purpose, but he was still very upset.

The Trail Blazers attacked, and Malone back-played Chris Dudley as usual.

Gary Payton released Legler and double-teamed in retaliation.

Malone raised his hands high, relying on his height and long arms to easily avoid Gary Payton's steal, and passed the ball to Legler who was emptied.

Legler, who made more than 50% of his three-pointers at the top of the arc, seized the opportunity of a wide open and easily hit a three-pointer before Gary Payton returned to the defense.

33 is better than 28!

Malone did not provoke again this time, and immediately ran to the backcourt in order to prevent the Sonics from making a quick break.

When Gary Payton organized the offense again, he didn't change his gloves this time.

Passive switching doesn't matter.

It would be stupid for a big center to take the initiative to go outside to guard the guard.

However, Legler really couldn't stop Gary Payton, who was holding back his anger, and was easily broken through again.

Malone fills in, and Gary Payton looks at the blocked space, and he is determined to force one!
Gary Payton changes direction.

Malone moved half a step sideways and continued to block the space.

Gary Payton didn't change anymore, turned around and leaned against Malone, and subconsciously switched his face to his back.

It is his unique skill to connect small skills after turning his back.

But this time, Gary Payton made a mistake!
After turning his back, Gary Payton felt completely shrouded in shadows!
Malone's size covers all aspects, completely occupying all of Gary Payton's shooting space!

I am used to the ordinary black and thick Gary Payton in the league. Where has I tried Malone's super thick and thick?
Ma Long took up all of it, leaving not even a single gap.

Gary Payton yelled that he couldn't stand it, he couldn't connect to the next move, and there was a problem with the rhythm!
Malone saw the opportunity, and at the moment Gary Payton froze, his long arm stabbed directly into the basketball in Gary Payton's hand from behind!
Without giving Gary Payton a chance to adjust, Malone rushed desperately.

Gary Payton grabbed the ball immediately, but Malone still forcibly grabbed the ball by relying on his size advantage.

Malone leaned his back on the ground, holding the ball with both hands and relying on brute force to get rid of Gary Payton's back grab, and threw it to Clifford who responded.

Clifford dribbles upfield for a fast break, but is stopped by Chris Dudley.

Although he can't defend against Malone, Chris Dudley is especially good at defending against fast breaks as a top ten defensive center with speed as his selling point.

Being so delayed by the Sonics, Clifford gave up his idea of ​​coming.

After Malone settled down in the frontcourt, the man with the headband passed it to Malone.

As soon as Malone caught the ball and showed his butt, Chris Dudley took the initiative to take half a step back, as if he wanted to withdraw the stool.

But Malone just swayed, grabbed the space made by Chris Dudley, quickly turned his back and took a step in, squeezed into the basket, and made a hit with Chris Dudley's small hook.

35 is better than 28!

Not long after the second quarter, the Trail Blazers led by Malone set off a wave of 7-0 offense!

Supersonics coach George Karl couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout to make adjustments.

　Thanks to 'Xiao Qimo' for the 4733 points reward, and thanks to 'Hot Days' and 'The Last Wolf Clan' for the 100 points reward.
