Chapter 213 The First Opponent(2/2)
"Whoa!"
Unfortunately, shooting from this position is as easy as a free throw for Wang Hao.
5:2
After scoring two points again, Wang Hao's expression was very dull and he did not show much excitement.
However, when he saw this scene in Pippen's eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable, or rather unhappy.
What do you mean? It's so rare that you shouldn't look excited about it?
Or do you think it's natural to take points from me?
Especially thinking about the ball just now, if it had been two years earlier, he would have been able to keep up with it and defend it.
Speaking of which, Pippen is also a bit dissatisfied with old age.
During the Trail Blazers' offense, Pippen reached out for the ball after being positioned, which surprised the Trail Blazers players.
Although there was a little surprise, Stoudemire immediately passed the ball out. After all, he is a senior.
When Pippen got the ball, Wang Hao immediately got into position and his attention was extremely concentrated. After all, this was the first player in history...the second player.
However, after getting the ball, Pippen did not rush to attack, but said calmly.
"Little guy, it's just a goal. It's not a big deal."
Wang Hao was dumbfounded, no, are you telling me this?
Well, he never expected that Scottie Pippen was also a weirdo.
Many years ago, when Jordan retired for the first time, Pippen said in his heart that he had waited for a long time and finally waited for today.
He wants to replace Jordan, he wants to be the team boss, and he wants to lead the Bulls to victory.
It's a pity that Pippen is Pippen after all, and Jordan will always be Jordan.
The Bulls indeed regard Pippen as the core of the team, but his status cannot be compared to Jordan.
So all the speculations in my mind finally broke out at the last moment of a regular season.
The reason is just that when Phil Jackson was arranging tactics, he arranged for Pippen to attract the defense instead of letting him kill.
To be honest, this kind of thing is no big deal.
If you are honest, you should play tactics seriously. If you have confidence in yourself, then treat the coach's words as nonsense.
After all, when it comes to the field, the game must be played by the players.
I didn't see Nick Young doing this. He completely ignored the coach and stole the ball from his teammates to complete the winning goal.
Of course, if you fail to complete the kill, you have to take responsibility.
It's a pity that Pippen didn't have the courage. Instead, he used all kinds of imagination and finally broke out on his own.
Facing Wang Hao, Pippen chose to break through. Of course, he also knew that he had no speed and could not break through.
After entering the inside line, he directly turned his back, leaned against Wang Hao, and began to dig in with force.
Why do older players lose speed?
In addition to the decline in physical function, there is another very important reason, which is insufficient exercise and weight gain.
The same goes for Pippen. He has maintained a good figure, but he has also gained a lot of weight.
It's really a bit impressive when it comes to the top at once.
However, Wang Hao is young enough and cannot be dealt with so easily.
Taking two steps back, although he was closer to the basket, Pippen never found a chance to take a shot and had no space to take a shot.
He had no choice but to try to dive in again and look for space to shoot.
However, at this moment, PJ Brown moved quickly and directly formed a double-team with Wang Hao.
After such a hard attack just now, Pippen's physical strength was almost exhausted, and his reaction was obviously slower now.
Wang Hao had quick eyes and quick hands, so he cut it with one palm, swatted the ball with his hand, and broke the ball directly.
Pippen tried to get the ball back, but he tripped and fell to the floor, but he couldn't get the ball back.
Watching this scene may bring back memories for many people.
Not to mention Bulls fans, even SuperSonics fans are feeling sad at this time.
Veterans never die, but veterans are always old, and the new era belongs to young people.
Wang Hao's reaction was obviously faster. At this time, he had already dribbled the ball across the half court.
Not just him, but the entire Sonics team, even Ewing, is speeding up. This is their fast break.
The Trail Blazers returned to defense very quickly, but after all, there was one less player, and they seemed to be a little concerned about one thing and not the other at this time.
Wang Hao took a look and saw that Steve Smith wanted to attack, but was restrained by Lewis.
There is no way, the Blazers' defensive choice is obviously to shrink, which is also an inevitable choice to play less and more often.
He was not polite and was about to step into the three-point line when he suddenly stopped.
A wonderful chasing three-pointer.
"Whoa!"
8:2
In less than two minutes of game time, Wang Hao scored 8 points in a row, directly helping the team take the lead.
This is a 6-point advantage. For the Trail Blazers, it is at least 3 offensive rounds.
But the problem is that not only the Blazers are attacking, but the Sonics also have opportunities to attack.
In the next attack, Rasheed Wallace finally scored the ball, showing his strength as a core player.
However, there was a problem with their defense.
Wang Hao scored 8 points in a row, which forced the SuperSonics to strengthen their defense against Wang Hao, even resorting to double-teaming.
Double-teaming Wang Hao has become a necessary choice for various teams.
Wang Hao's passing is definitely not top-notch, but he can still do it just by passing the ball.
At this time, other members of the Sonics also began to perform.
Lewis and Gary Payton hit the ball one after another, and even P.J. Brown dunked on a cake.
The tempo of the game was just as Paul Westphal envisioned, with Seattle taking the lead from the first minute.
Now, it depends on what the Trail Blazers will do.
Do they have a way to chase points? Do they have the strength to chase points? Will they be anxious if they cannot catch up with the score for a long time?
This is what Paul Westphal cares about most, after all, this is just the regular season.
Facing the Sonics' first opponent in the playoffs, he must understand it in detail in order to make the best preparation.
Yes, he has been preparing for the playoffs since the beginning of the season, especially against several opponents.
Chapter completed!
