Chapter 64 [Halftime Garbage Time]
Attacking in the west, the ball passed to the low post Taylor singled out Thomas, turned around and threw the board, but still didn't score. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Fortson squeezed away Van Horn in the middle, rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, and immediately attacked the second time, and was slapped by "Big Z" and flew the ball out.
Fortson's height of 201CM is under the basket, and no matter how strong his strength is, he can't jump casually, which is a hat. "Big Z" is always overlooked on the defensive end, and his actual rim protection skills are very strong.
Billups picked up the basketball and immediately passed to the front court to launch a fast attack, and his judgment of the situation was very accurate, and it was not a blind positional battle. Maddie received the ball and singled out Daniels, rushed to the basket with the ball, and forced a layup.
Daniels was not freed, but he jumped up and couldn't cover Maddie, and when he was excited to pull someone to foul, Maddie showed excellent coordination, shifted his center of gravity and threw the ball to the basket with his right hand, and after hitting the board, he bounced twice on the basket.
The referee blew the whistle 2+1, and Madiga also made a free throw, 11-0.
In the western attack, Daniels received the ball and singled out Maddy, forcing a breakthrough successfully, but Thomas made up for the interference in place, Daniels couldn't make a layup, and he couldn't stop the car and flew out of the bottom line.
"Big Z" grabbed the rebound to Billups, who quickly advanced to the front court to pass Maddy, 3 to 2 in the frontcourt, and Fortson followed Van Horn without making up the defense, and the middle was empty.
Maddie dribbled and pulled the ball, jumped with both feet two steps before the free throw line, and scored a basketball with a fluttering long-distance windmill! 13 to 0.
Zhang Li exclaimed: "Beautiful! Raptors rookie Maddie has amazing physical fitness, this is the action of the slam dunk contest. He has already scored 8 points in the opening game, and has an assist, and his performance is very eye-catching. ”
Sun Zhengping said: "The two teams don't seem to be at the same level at all, and the coach of the west doesn't call a timeout, and the players must fight back, otherwise they will lose face." ”
After the goal, the Eastern players had enough time to return to the defense and block the restricted area, Daniels saw that Maddy was far away, received the ball and jumped for three points, but still did not score under slight interference, and "Big Z" won the rebound again.
Billups led a half-court pass to Maddy, and the players pulled away.
Daniels defended close and put out all his strength to prevent Maddie from turning easily. Maddie relied on her size advantage to protect the basketball steadily, ran with her back to Daniels and other teammates, and passed to Billups on the left side.
Cato defended and Billups dribbled the ball to the middle and played a pass to Van Horn on the run, who cut to the basket and dunked it with both hands to make it 15-0.
Morris Taylor's bottom line leaked people, and Yang Rui let Van Horn cut at any time, just because the person who defended him was Taylor.
This is a typical player who is strong in offense and weak in defense, as soon as he is mentioned, Chinese fans in his previous life will remember the 6-year 48 million bad contract he signed with the Rockets in 2001.
Kurt Rambis didn't call a timeout yet, these five are already the best rookies in the West in his opinion, he didn't practice well in training before, he just wanted to mix up casually, how could he have thought that the opponent's offense and defense were so fierce?
Taylor singled out Van Horn, who was not as skilled as a power forward, and continued to dribble under his hip to the right side, and made a stop-and-go jump shot. 15 to 2.
Eastern offense, Billups took the ball to the frontcourt, glanced at Maddie, suddenly stopped on the left side of the jumper, the ball did not go in, but dodged Jackson's block, and the opportunity came out.
Cato got the rebound and passed to Fortson, who wanted to perform but chose the wrong way, and actually dribbled the ball to the front court. He hadn't picked up the ball much in this time, and he couldn't hold his breath.
As soon as he brought it to halftime, Thomas stabbed the basketball from behind, and Maddie picked up the ball and passed quickly to Van Horn who followed up on the right.
Taylor missed again, retreated too far back, and Van Horn hit a three-point shot from 70 degrees on the right side. 18 to 2.
Kurt Rambises finally called a halt and couldn't stand it anymore. The team loses by a big score, and the news may not only talk about the rookie, he may also be affected.
The fans gave the Eastern rookies a round of applause, although the Knicks rookies did not participate in the game, but with Yang Rui, this is their home court.
Marv Albert lamented: "It's often asked, how important is a coach to a team? Will it be the difference between life and death for the team or is it just a routine substitution? Now I can say with certainty that the coach can decide the style of play of a team, the style of play, and the outcome of the game. ”
Marty Glickman laughed: "Jerry Young has once again shown that he can make the game look good, like he did in Summer League, he can lead different players to attack!" ”
Raptors manager Glenn Gruward watched the game live on TV and originally wanted to watch Billups because he got in touch with the Celtics manager yesterday and wanted to trade Billups in place of Stoudamire, who was about to be sent away.
He was stunned by the wave of offense at the beginning of the Eastern Conference rookie, it is a small thing that Billups and Maddy work well together, the key is that Maddy actually has such a strong scoring ability, and he did not perform at all when he was with the Raptors.
If it weren't for the high draft pick and outstanding quality, Maddy's 6.7 points, 4 rebounds and 1.3 assists would be difficult to be selected for the rookie game, and he is the worst rookie in the East.
With such a big contrast, Glenn thinks there is only one explanation, and that is that Raptors head coach Darnell Walker is an out-and-out piece of waste.
Glenn plans to report to his boss today that the head coach will have to be replaced by cutting Walker as soon as the star weekend is over and putting assistant coach Butch Carter on top to finish the season.
After the timeout, the West substitutions, Alvin Williams made a cameo appearance as a small forward, replacing Fortson, who had a poor shooting, and wanted to speed up and play a counterattack.
Rambis made another mistake, and while the offense would have been a little better, the defense would have changed poorly, and he wouldn't have enough protection for rebounding.
Fortson is an efficient blue-collar worker who is extremely ferocious in the fight for rebounds, and although Alvin is 196cm tall, his 84 offensive weight is not enough to compete with a small forward.
After two rounds, Yang Rui also made substitutions, Van Horn went down, and Mercer played, and the position was still on the bottom line, and he could hold the ball and go heads-up.
Regardless of positional battles or counterattacks, Mercer relied on strength and impact to single Alvin with ease, squeezing the opponent three times in a row, showing extraordinary physical fitness.
In order to defend against Mercer, Rambis replaced Jackson and replaced Rhodes to increase his outside confrontation ability. As soon as Jackson rested, there were no three-point shooting points in the West, and the positional battle could not be opened.
After that, Knight and Henderson appeared one after another, counterattacking mainly and suppressing the small lineup in the West.
Knight's breakthrough is very sharp, and he will split the ball after attracting the defense, assisting Thomas to shoot two three-pointers, and Henderson also has a fast break and hard eating Alvin.
"Big Z" played 15 minutes before being replaced by Yang Rui, and performed well, with 8 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Van Horn made a cameo appearance as a center, and the East team counterattacked faster, but the rebounding ball was slightly inferior, and the players blossomed more. At halftime, the East led 64-35.
Zhang reasonably commented: "Yang Rui's team has a super strong attack, and the game has entered garbage time. ”
