Chapter 984: Steady as Mount Tai

The Hawks counterattacked, Bibby controlled the ball and ran forward, Bibby was nicknamed the White Devil, known for his fast, powerful and treacherous style of play, when he was with the Kings, he used to be the backcourt engine of the Wind team, and later that team had white chocolate Jason Williams, but more people still recall the Bibby era.

Bibby's ball control isn't as fancy as white chocolate, but it's more practical and pleasing to the eye.

When it came to the three-point line in the frontcourt, Bibby waved his hand for Horford to come out to cover Johnson, Smith was going to cover Johnson, but Bibby waved to stop it and said: "Joe, run, go to your favorite position!" El, you come out to cover Joe, Josh, you go inside, don't come out! We have three-point shooters, and we don't need you to shoot threes! ”

Commanding his teammates to run, Bibi himself was also planning an attack, his shoulders were shaking rhythmically, and when the words fell, his right hand leaned forward with the ball to make a breakthrough posture, but the whole person rushed to the left, and his right hand turned behind him, and the ball turned half a circle behind him and fell into his left hand, changing direction again, rushing from the right side.

Seeing Bibby break through West, Chamberlain jammed Josh Smith, who had just run in, to defend with open arms, but Bibby rushed all the way to the penalty area and jumped up in the face of Chamberlain's defense, but he didn't shoot, but stabbed the ball diagonally in front of the hoop.

Chamberlain jumped up with Bibby, leaving Smith in the open spot, and he received the ball with a wrist pick and a hand, sending it into the hoop.

was tricked by Bibi before, an old guy, and West immediately showed his sword for revenge, he rushed to the inside line with the speed of a sports car, which was purely to use the young man's excellent physical qualities to bully Bibi.

After West rushed into the free throw area, he suddenly twisted his knee and stopped the advancing figure, so Bibby also stopped to prevent him from making a quick stop jumper, but West accelerated again and hit such a speed difference, so he threw off Bibby.

The Hawks' defense was based on all hands and not one person, West passed Bibby, Smith and Williams came up from the wings, and he made a firm choice, only for Smith to show the demeanor of another blocker and slap the ball out of West's shot.

Bibby took over the ball to plan an attack, he passed the ball to Horford, who was in an important position on the inside, who used his broad body to slam backwards, Chamberlain has been close to the defense, was hit so fiercely, it was inevitable to take half a step back, there was a gap in this half step, Horford found the gap, turned around to the basket, raised his hand and jumped.

Chamberlain guessed this feint, so he didn't jump up, but just raised his arms high to press Horford. Horford took the ball back and passed it to the outside, and Smith covered Johnson to run out of the open space, who went to the middle to receive the passing ball, jumped up and dropped two points.

With the team scoring four straight points and a big hat on the defensive end, the Hawks fans were in high spirits, and they cheered for the home team with a chorus of 'GOGOGO' led by DJs.

Chamberlain slapped his chest with his fist and shouted: "This ball is mine, give it to me next, I'll go back and forth!" ”

Needless to say, West handed the ball to Chamberlain on the inside when he got to the frontcourt, Horford stuck Chamberlain in the back, and Smith went around the front defense, and the two directly wrapped up against him.

Chamberlain jumped to his feet and tried to get the ball off, but his shoulders shook four or five times irregularly when he landed, and then suddenly turned and cut sideways.

Seeing this, Horford and Smith both moved together, Chamberlain stepped out of the waist and abdomen and immediately retreated, like bacon coming out of a sandwich, nimbly found the vacancy from the two-man bag, threw his arm up, and sent the ball into the hoop steadily.

"Z did a great job, beautiful footsteps, and he played with two guys who were shorter than him with dreamy steps. It can be seen that Z should understand that today is a hard battle, he did not end the offense with a violent dunk, but threw and scored two points, which is abnormal for SUPER-Z who can dunk but does not shoot. ”

"The Eagles attacked, Bibby passed to Johnson, Carter's defense didn't follow up - oh, they switched defenses, West caught up with Johnson, he was like a mad dog, well done, he grabbed the flesh and bones! He poked Johnson's ball, the Warriors' possession! ”

"What kind of counterattack are the Warriors going to plan? Hey, the referee blew the whistle, it was a cover foul, it seems to say that Z fouled? What's going on? We can watch the replay, Bibby defends Mad Dog, Z goes up to cover, the two collide, Bibby is knocked away, so the referee gives the Warriors a cover foul. ”

"Haha, Bibby, you old dog, you have made a pit Z, I have to admit, you also did a good job! This is the experience, fans and friends, this is the experience of the old ball oil! ”

"Z looks dissatisfied, Carter stops his rant, Z goes defensive, see what he does, I'm optimistic that Z will send a big hat!"

In the live broadcast room of TNT, Kenny Smith, Barkley, and Mark Jackson kept discussing the results of the game quickly, and the game continued.

The Hawks don't shoot well from the outside, they're very good at working together and then playing inside, and this time was no exception, with Horford attracting Chamberlain's attention, Johnson breaking through to the top of the arc of the box, jumping gracefully and making a close-range shot.

Chamberlain was still immersed in the anger of Bibby's fake fall before, and saw Johnson jump up and make a move, regardless of the person Horford, he still jumped up bravely, jumped in the air and swung out with one arm, and the basketball had not yet flown to the highest point, just happened to be slapped by him, and slapped it back.

"Look! And voila! God, what kind of closure is this? Could it be that SUPER-Z bought the Aegis defense system from the Navy? His defensive ...... Oh yes, Josh Smith, this guy has done a good job! ”

After Chamberlain blocked, the ball fell, and Smith in the back rushed up to pick up the ball, rushed into the penalty area in two steps, and made a one-handed slam dunk against Chamberlain.

The quality of the Hawks' defense began to rise, Chamberlain even encountered a three-man on the inside, he had a hard time, so he moved to the outside, Smith has been following him to defend, Horford is deployed in the low post, and the Hawks have begun to do their best joint defense.

The Eagles' kraft candy style of switching was very effective, and Smith followed Chamberlain, not directly fighting him from the front, but staring at him from a small half-step distance.

In this way, Chamberlain wanted to use force to eat him, but he didn't step forward, if Chamberlain continued to push inside, Horford would come up and wrap up, and if Chamberlain wanted to make a move, then Smith could interfere with him.

Carter saw Chamberlain's troubles, so he came up to answer, Chamberlain passed the ball, he stepped into the box to make a shot but was defended by Horford, and had to pass the ball to the outside again.

West organized, more than ten seconds passed, the offense entered the countdown stage, and the others had no better chances, West simply jumped up, and then simply hit the iron.

Bibby took advantage of Johnson's cover to break inside again, this time he distributed the ball to Horford, Horford took the ball and turned to attack the hoop from the front, Chamberlain's defense was leaky, and Bibby ran outside the weak-side three-point line while everyone's attention was attracted by the inside battle between Chamberlain and Horford.

Horford didn't have a chance, passed the ball to Johnson, Johnson didn't hesitate, and immediately threw the ball to Bibi, Bibi's three points were still terrible, he got up and down, and the basketball crossed a beautiful arc in the air and fell headlong into the hoop.

West ran outside the three-point line with the ball for a while, and Chamberlain was very uncomfortable being trapped, so he and Ibaka constantly covered each other to find gaps.

The struggle of two seven-foot men is like two big sharks playing in shallow water, the Eagles' defense is not impregnable, and the hole quickly appears, West did not pass, he seized the opportunity to kill the box from the baseline, Horford abandoned Chamberlain to defend him, and West took the opportunity to share the ball to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain raised his hand to shoot, but it didn't feel good, and such a close example turned out to be iron.

At this moment, Nelson Sr. stood up, and the Warriors' performance in the opening half of the quarter was far inferior to that of the Hawks.

TNT's panel also identified the issue, with Kenny Smith saying: "The Hawks did a great job, they played to everyone's strengths, Josh Smith's airtight defense, Horford's impeccable offense and defense, Joe Johnson's offensive core on the perimeter, Bibe's spicy and practical, and Marvin Williams' jack-of-all-trades, this Hawks team is more like a defending champion than the Warriors." ”

Barkley shook his head and said: "It's the Warriors themselves who have problems, maybe it's back-to-back, in short, they didn't show their true strength, this is not the real defending champion Warriors, this is not the real SUPER-Z!" ”

Nelson Sr. naturally saw the team's problems better, he asked for a timeout, first motivated the players, and then changed the lineup and began to change the lineup: under Ibaka, Jamison went to the position of power forward, Curry came on the court, and Carter and West formed a three-guard formation.

Nelson Sr. knows the biggest advantage of the Warriors, that is, Chamberlain's invincible courage in the restricted area, so he needs to open up space for Chamberlain on the outside and give him a chance to one-on-one, as long as one-on-one, then Chamberlain has no one who can't eat in the NBA.

"The Warriors have a big four lineup, is this going to run and shoot? Crazy old Nelson, you're up against the Eastern Spurs, they're very good defensively, they're the best at slowing down the tempo, they're running and running with them, and that's not a good choice. ”

"With Chamberlain receiving the ball inside, Curry lying in ambush at the bottom of the three-point line, West and Carter also on the outside, what does Jamison do? Oh good, he's out of the inside line too, and the box is empty like the Texas prairie right now, come on, guys, go to the inside hand-to-hand fight. ”

"One-on-one, there is no other half point, the four of the Warriors have a long-range shot, the Hawks dare not let go of them, they can only be the outside three-man joint defense inside package Chamberlain - Chamberlain crashed into Smith, look, he slipped the bottom line and turned around for half a circle, turned around! Beautiful, hit! Chamberlain can eat even one-on-two, this is SUPER-Z! ”

"The Hawks don't have a height disadvantage now, they play very patiently, Bibby passes the ball to Johnson, Johnson can't break through, Smith answers, Smith gives the ball to Marvin again, Marvin hits the ground and passes to Horford, the ball turns around and comes out again, Bibby shoots from a distance, and hits a three-point shot!"

"The Warriors still have to pull away, this time the Hawks still choose a 2-3 joint defense, Chamberlain did not continue to play alone, he passed the ball to Carter, Carter jumped, but unfortunately hit the iron, Horford grabbed the rebound, the Hawks protect the rebound very well, even if they are as strong as Z, they can only shrug their shoulders and express helplessness."

“……”

"There is only one and a half minutes left in the first quarter, the Hawks' possession, Johnson gives the ball to Horford, good opportunity, shoot quickly! Horford hit a turnaround jumper to make it 27-20 and give the Hawks a seven-point lead. ”

"The Warriors' possession, West picked up the ball and he passed it to Jamison...... Oh my God, it was a mistake, Jamison thought West was going to choose to break through, he went up to cover and missed the ball. The Hawks' possession of the ball, they are still very patient, it seems that they are prepared, Smith burst into the basket, distributed the ball to Horford, Horford divided the ball again, Johnson jumped, hit! ”
