Chapter 89 All-Star Candidate

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Avery Johnson, the future head coach of the Mavericks, has a high IQ.

After just two rounds of fighting, Avery Johnson realized the difficulty of the Trail Blazers.

Advancing to the frontcourt, Avery Johnson played a pick-and-roll with David Robinson, changed direction and broke through Sabonis, who came over from the defense, and then passed it to David Robinson.

Before Malone defended, David Robinson made a decisive mid-range shot.

2:4.

David Robinson's talent is very similar to Antetokounmpo, but his skills are much better than Antetokounmpo.

Especially in face frame technology, Admiral can be said to be one of the strongest four centers.

One beat slower, David Robinson is enough to complete the shot.

"Ma Long, defend faster!"

Carlesimo stood up and shouted from the sidelines.

The ball was indeed his problem. Malone gave an ok gesture and jogged to the frontcourt.

After setting a screen for Rhodes, Malone cuts in toward the basket.

After one step to the right side of the paint area and receiving a pass from Rhodes, Malone punched Charles Smith with his back.

The tonnage gap made Charles Smith overwhelmed and took a step back.

When the space came out, Ma Long immediately turned around and took a step horizontally.

David Robinson returns to double-team.

Malone made a fake move around his arms, and after shaking David Robinson, he collected the ball to the basket and put the ball into the basket.

4:4.

"The turning speed is so fast! Such powerful steps!"

David Robinson was surprised.

Although I watched the video tape before the game, the video and the real game are completely different.

Malone is so big, and the speed of turning his back made David Robinson think of Olajuwon.

The footsteps may not be as gorgeous as Dameng, but they are also light and dancing.

Very strong!

Already the strength of a super center.

Malone plus a Sabonis.
David Robinson was a little envious of this combination of twin towers.

He also wants a reliable inside partner.
The Spurs attack.

Avery Johnson passed the ball to Sean Elliott.

Sean Elliott stepped back and made a three-pointer, but was missed by Clifford.

David Robinson rushed to grab the offensive rebound and was blocked by Sabonis.

With this gold medal striker, Malone easily got the rebound from Charles Smith and passed it to Rhodes.

Still pick and roll.

But this time Rhodes pretended to pass the ball, deceiving a gap in the Spurs' defense.

Speed ​​seized the opportunity to go straight to the basket and make a dunk.

6:4.

The Spurs attacked. This time when David Robinson was about to make a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll, he was stopped by Malone who arrived in time.

David Robinson passes to Charles Smith.

Charles Smith wanted to hit the frame, but was blocked by Sabonis and couldn't get in, so he had to pass it to Sean Elliott.

Although Sean Elliott has the strength of an All-Star, his offensive methods are mainly shooting, and his offensive ability is insufficient.

Faced with Clifford's single defense, Sean Elliott hesitated and did not make a strong play, and then passed Avery Johnson.

The shot clock was running out, and Avery Johnson missed a long two-pointer on the catch.

The Spurs were defended by the Trail Blazers again!
The Blazers attack.

Because the Spurs paid too much attention to Malone, Sabonis showed off again, and David Robinson succeeded in low post singles.

The Spurs missed the next ball. Looking back, Sabonis drew a double-team from a low post and passed it to Malone. Malone made a straight-armed jumper.

Only a few minutes into the start, the Trail Blazers are about to lead by 10 points!

The Spurs coach was forced to call a timeout.

"What are you doing!"

"RNM, refund the money!"

The fans at the scene became restless.

Some booed, while others were dissatisfied with the team's performance.

There are also those who really understand the game, and their hearts are cool when they watch it.

The strength gap between the two teams is too great!
Sabonis and David Robinson played back and forth.

Although the knee is half disabled, he has completely lost the athletic ability of the Olympic Games a few years ago, and can no longer play fly buckles.

But the trade-off for athleticism is proficient skill and experience.

These alone may not be enough to completely limit David Robinson, who is extremely athletic.

But the Trail Blazers still have a Malone.

Malone's speed is certainly not as good as David Robinson-the Admiral's running and jumping ability is too buggy, and Malone feels better than Antetokounmpo when he fights.

The explosive power may be a little worse, but David Robinson's static talent is stronger, and his skills have improved by more than one level.

The speed is not as good, but when defending with such a large space in the interior, Malone can also make do with it.

The defensive end occasionally double-teams, and the offensive end and Sabonis play twin towers.

Coupled with Clifford targeting outside core Sean Elliott, Hawkins targeting Avery Johnson.

The Spurs can't beat it at all!

On the offensive end, the Spurs' conduction of the ball was severely disturbed, and the tactics could not be opened at all.

Not to mention the defensive end, the Spurs can't stand it just because Malone and Sabonis, the twin towers, take turns in singles.

After making adjustments, I still can't play after a timeout.

In the first quarter, the Spurs were beaten by the Trail Blazers and scored 30 to 22, leading by a full 8 points.

In the second quarter, Malone led another star.

David Robinson also played in the second quarter trying to chase points.

Without Sabonis, David Robinson's offense went smoothly, but he still couldn't limit Malone.

He's less distracting to Malone than 'Big Mom' Larry Johnson.

Anyway, my aunt weighs 113kg, and her lower limbs are strong.

David Robinson is 216cm tall and weighs only 106kg.

Although this data has been officially registered for some years, the accuracy rate is not high.

But as far as David Robinson's slender lower limbs are concerned, it doesn't weigh much.

Malone's tonnage advantage is huge, and David Robinson is hard-hitting in low-post singles.

Leading by 12 points at halftime.

At the end of the three quarters, the point difference further widened, and the Trail Blazers twin towers directly sent the game into garbage time.

Malone clocked in three quarters again and watched the rest of the game off the court.

打了28分钟，14投10中，罚球5中5，轻轻松松拿到了25分13篮板4盖帽4助攻的数据。

With the increase in game experience, Ma Long's awareness of grabbing rebounds has become much stronger, and he has been able to better utilize his static talent advantages.

The cooperation with Sabonis has also become more and more tacit.

Sabonis is very Buddhist about data and is willing to be a forward for Malone.

Although Malone clocked in three quarters, he also grabbed a lot of rebounds.

"It's just too easy."

Malone thought there would be a big battle.

Unexpectedly, there was a real fight, and David Robinson was not beaten by Ewing.

It can only be said that the admiral was really born at a bad time.

If he enters the league decades later, he will definitely be able to play better.

After a calm victory over the Spurs, the Trail Blazers are going to Houston non-stop.

On December 12, the Trail Blazers played away against the Rockets.

The glider is still missing, without the outside core, Olajuwon is in excellent form and can't beat the Trail Blazers twin towers.

When Sabonis was resting, Olajuwon wanted to get back to the field, but was exhausted by Malone's physical strength.

Malone can't restrain Olajuwon with a single defense.

But he can use the old method to consume Dameng without limit on both offensive and defensive ends.

In the fourth quarter, Olajuwon changed from a big dream to a dream, and was unable to recover, and was taken away by the Trail Blazers.

After taking the Rockets lightly, the Trail Blazers finally ended their road trip and returned to Portland by plane.

After getting off the plane, Malone took a breath of the cold winter wind and felt his scalp feel cold.

I was sleepy and drowsy, but I suddenly became energetic.

Objectively speaking, Portland is also considered to be on the west coast. It is not too cold in winter, but it is still a bit unbearable in the early hours of the morning.

Malone added an extra coat, bid farewell to his teammates and returned home.

The light was still on, and when Theron heard the door open, he turned around and smiled at him, "I made supper. It's the Chinese porridge I just learned. Do you want some?"

Ma Long nodded, feeling warm while drinking the warm porridge.

Although Theron is not very old, he is only 20 years old this year, but he is very good at taking care of others.

Two words, virtuous!

After eating the porridge, Ma Long really wanted to spend some time with Theron.

The so-called food and clothing and thinking about it.

It's a pity that I'm pregnant, so I can't be too messy.

But it was really frustrating.

Theron seemed to read his thoughts from Malone's eyes.

She blushed a little, and looked away: "You still have energy after the game."

Ma Long smiled cheekily: "Your husband, I am very talented."

Theron couldn't help recalling the memory of being "tossed" by Malone in the past, gave him a sideways glance, and whispered: "Then what should I do?"

"I have a new way to play."

Malone grabbed Theron's hand and started a gameplay discussion.

After the road trip, the Trail Blazers will play at home for the rest of December.

The opponents are the Lakers, Jazz, Celtics and Hornets.

On the night of December 12, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge from the Lakers at home.

I don't know if it's the excitement of the 'Lakers Busters' mission, or the addition of Theron's new gameplay.

Malone played extremely vigorously in this game. On the offensive end, he hammered Vlade Divac and sent the game into garbage time in three quarters. In the end, he defeated the Lakers 99 to 109.

Rested for two days and faced the Jazz.

Karl Malone is still out.

Without a core and a leg, the Jazz are in a bad situation.

The original space-time record was 18 wins and 9 losses, but now it is only 11 wins and 16 losses.

If it weren't for the poor performance of many teams this season, the Jazz would fall out of the playoff threshold.

Because of this, Malone is now the Jazz's public enemy number one.

The Jazz played extremely hard in this game, and because Sabonis took a break, they all aimed at Malone.

Malone didn't check for a while, and fell into foul trouble in the first quarter, and didn't play much time in the end.

Fortunately, Rhodes and Clifford were strong, and John Stockton also lacked scoring explosiveness. In the fourth quarter, Rhodes broke through and Clifford made a three-pointer to reverse the situation, and finally beat the Jazz by 3 points.

After this game, Ma Long will resume the game at night, earnestly learn how to control the number of fouls, and further improve the details of defense.

However, before the improvement takes effect, the NBA officially opened the All-Star voting channel.

Malone was once again in the news.

He was shortlisted among the Western All-Star forward candidates selected by commentators, broadcasters, experts, and well-known reporters!

That's right, it's a striker, not a center.

Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that Malone is a power forward, under the hint of someone at the New York headquarters, Malone has become a power forward.

In addition to Malone being selected into the list of candidates, Clifford, Rhodes, and Sabonis were also selected because of their record, which attracted the attention of the whole United States for a while.

In the bustling days, the Blazers defeated the Celtics and Hornets, and only lost back-to-back away games to the Cavaliers, ending December with a record of 24 wins and 5 losses.
