88. The Veteran's Counterattack

Chamberlain focused most of his energy on the defensive end, and he was just guarding Yao Ming. The Great Wall of China encountered Optimus Prime, one was a masonry structure and the other was a steel texture. The former was naturally bleeding.

Old Nelson's arrangement was extremely sophisticated. In the first quarter, he asked Chamberlain to keep an eye on Yao Ming and fought with him at all costs. Adelman finally had a different move. He only remembered that Hayes was going to consume Chamberlain's physical strength, but he didn't know that Old Nelson also arranged it like this. Chamberlain completed the task more thoroughly. Halfway through the second quarter, Yao Ming was out of breath.

Yao Ming is really hard to fight a team like the Warriors, which is good at blitzing battles. He can't keep up with this rhythm. The Warriors run around and Yao Ming's physical strength is consumed very well. Especially now with Chamberlain, a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus, and with him entangled Yao Ming, Yao Ming's physical energy consumption rate has increased exponentially.

Yao Ming was abolished, so the Rockets played hard. Old Nelson's arrangement was not the end. Barnes followed McGrady like a candy, and McGrady played hard.

After the first half, the Warriors' lead was not very obvious, but they led by seven points at 55:48, with a score difference of about 7 points, but this was at the cost of Yao Ming and McGrady exhausting their physical strength, especially the latter, who entered the penalty area and broke through and shot and scored 16 points in the second quarter, killing the Warriors with no face.

"Damn, this guy is so cruel. Apart from Kobe, I have never seen a guy with attack ability like him." Chamberlain gasped and complained. Yao Ming was huge. If Chamberlain was a tyrannosaurus, then Yao Ming was also a dinosaur, a strong plesaurus!

In order to deal with Yao Ming, Chamberlain also paid a terrible price.

What's even worse is Barnes. This street-born defensive strongman was beaten into a sieve by McGrady, which means McGrady is not good at speaking. If it were a big-mouthed player like Miller, Jordan Bird, Barnes might have been ridiculed as today.

Seeing Barnes's face full of sweat and breathing, Jackson, as the leader of the locker room, was angry. He turned around in the locker room irritably, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Damn it, BOSS, let's just be McGrady!"

Before Old Nelson could speak, the tired Barnes immediately felt energetic and clenched his fists and shouted, "You must let me do it!"

This is the NBA. Some people not only have open and honest Cavaliers fighting alone, not only the sunshine under the spotlight, not only the brotherly love in the locker room, but also the conspiracy and ruthless murder.

NBA players must be good at protecting themselves, especially players like Wade, McGrady, and Carter who make a living by breaking through and scoring. The NBA is known as the most intense professional sports in the world. If players cannot protect themselves well, they will be destroyed every minute.

This was the first time Chamberlain experienced such a thing. He suddenly remembered the kick Bowen gave Davis when he fought against the Spurs last time. Davis, who performed best under that kick, was directly deprived of half a season. He was angry at that time and gave him an elbow. In fact, this was not fair to Bowen. Perhaps in the locker room, Bowen also volunteered like this. He was not for himself, but for the team's victory.

Thinking about it this way may be more extreme. Competition emphasizes openness, fairness, justice, and openness. But don’t be naive, this is professional competition. The arena is like a battlefield. Death is too exaggerated, but injury is common.

It is really hard for him to accept such a thing if Chamberlain takes the initiative. Fortunately, Old Nelson did not agree to the proposal of Jackson and Barnes, the two were not taken seriously, but just mentioned it casually. Old Nelson re-arranged the tactics and the game continued.

After half-time break, Yao and Maggie recovered a lot of physical strength. Adelman saw that the two strongest attack points of the team turned into blind spots, so he was preparing to open up the third battlefield. Argentine demon attacker Louis Scola came on the court.

Compared with Hayes, Scola's offensive level has improved by 100 streets. He has been tempered in South America, Europe and the world arenas, and is a good offensive player.

Alstom returned to the court and saw that McGrath and Yao Ming were both entangled, so he handed the ball to Scora.

Scola wanted the ball in the inside, Yao Ming mentioned the high position, and Chamberlain followed. Harrington defended Scola alone. The latter shook left and right, turned around and bent his right knee and jumped out. Harrington was shaken by his fake moves so much that he couldn't help but take a step back. This step was the separation of Yin and Yang. Scola felt soft and made a precise mid-range shot.

Seeing Scola's move, Old Nelson frowned. He looked at the bench and waved to Evans. The latter was drinking water bored. He was shocked when he saw Old Nelson's greeting. He pointed his finger at him stupidly and asked, "BOSS, call me?"

Old Nelson sighed, his IQ was a flaw.

Taking advantage of Ellis' chance to break through the basket and cause Alstom to foul, Old Nelson replaced Evans on the court and he would deal with Scola.

Evans has a poor sense of defense. His defense is extremely rough. He relies on his body to push people out. It is easy to take fake moves and be deceived and fouled. Scola happens to be a master of fake moves and fouls. Seeing Evans replace Harrington, the players on both sides were a little surprised. Old Nelson was a fool.

Facts proved that Jiang was still old. After Evans came on the court, he did not go to find Scola, but went straight to Yao Ming. Chamberlain, who had been guarding Yao Ming, entered the inside with a malicious smile, and the person who was defending Scola was replaced by him.

Following Yao Ming, Evans kept pushing Yao Ming out and walked around Yao Ming according to Old Nelson's instructions. The two had a big height difference. As long as Yao Ming could stay in the position and get the ball single and eat Evans. But the problem now is that Yao Ming was pushed and unstable. Moreover, Evans was in a roundabout way, with Alstom's half-bottle of water passing, it was really not easy to pass the ball to Yao Ming safely.

McGrath's main attacker Barnes was entangled and finally rushed into the penalty area. Chamberlain waved his arm and chased after him. McGrath had to take action hastily. The ball hit the rebound and bounced out. Scola wanted to grab the rebound. Chamberla jumped from behind him and took the rebound off his head.

Azubuk made the game in the second half, his body was full of energy, and he held the ball and seemed to be on the Hot Wheels. He scored easily in three steps to the penalty area.

After the start of the second half, the Rockets became more and more chaotic. Old Nelson's series of deployments were effective. Under the fierce attack of the Warriors, the Rockets were frantically beaten. The scores of both sides once expanded to 20 points. At the end of the third quarter, relying on Yao and Mai's hard work at the last moment, they finally scored 75:90.

At the end of the third quarter, looking at Yao Ming and McGrady who were panting, Adelman sighed. The two had played for 36 minutes in a row and had to rest. But who else would the team expect to chase the points after these two people's game?

"It seems that God doesn't want to see us win today." Adelman said to his son Adelman Jr., who is his assistant coach, similar to Old Nelson, whose son Nelson Jr. is also his assistant coach.

"Well, kids, you guys do a good job, although it's still far from my ideal. Yao, Tracy, you guys come down and rest." Adelman waved his hand and looked at the substitute on the bench, "Dickenbe, Louis, you two will go to the inside later, Steve, you'll play."

Francis, who only made his debut in the first game for two minutes, did not expect Adelman to use him. He was surprised and then a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes, he took off his training suit and started to warm up.

The Warriors also sent a substitute lineup, with Azubuk leading Louis, Evans and O'Brient on the field, and Pitrus being the mainstay, is the core of the current lineup.

O'Brient served the ball to Louis, and the Warriors quickly advanced to the frontcourt, Pitrus rushed straight to the basket, and Louis waved his hand and made a straight pass. His intention to pass the ball was too obvious, and Francis jumped out like a fox, successfully blocked the ball, and quickly attacked the frontcourt after getting the ball.

However, Francis is indeed old. His fast attack was blocked by Azubuk. In the face of Azubuk's defense, he did not break through. He changed directions in a row and was still blocked by the opponent tightly. Seeing this scene, many old fans at the scene had their eyes wet. Seven years ago, if a player like Azubuk came to defend Boss F, he would definitely encounter inhumane teasing!

Unfortunately, Boss Fre is no longer the All-Star, but a basic salary veteran.

All the fans were staring at Francis, and the Warriors players were no exception. In fact, Boss Fur is still very lethal in their minds.

He was traded to the Magic by the Rockets in the 2004-05 season. That season, Francis still had the terrible ability to average 25 points per game. He has been in the Knicks for two years. In the past two years, Francis lost himself in the bright and wine-filled Big Apple City. His decline in his condition was not because of his age, but because of his indulgence!

The Warriors players dare not underestimate Francis. Who knows how this guy's summer has passed? If he has practiced wildly in the training hall and strength room, his strength will be at least 80% higher than everyone present!

Everyone was watching Frances, including O'Brient, who did not take the opponent behind him seriously, Mutombo. With the help of his opponent's indifferent attention, Mutombo quietly moved from behind O'Brient to the bottom line of the right wing penalty area.

Unfortunately, Francis did not enter the training ground and strength room this summer, so his ability did not recover. However, the bright lights and wine in New York changed not only his body, but also his mentality. When he realized that he could not break through the opponent's blockade, he did not play singles as stubbornly as he was when he was young, but protected the ball and looked decisively into the inside line, and then passed the ball.

The ball was like a shell out of the borehole, rushing towards the basket quickly and fiercely. Ultra Bryant subconsciously wanted to steal, but in this way, he just threw away his position, allowing Mutombo to extend his long arm like a dead wood to catch the ball.

At this time, there was only one O'Brient in the basket, and he also lost his position. Seeing this, Mutombo took a deep breath of air, bent his body slightly, stepped on the floor with both feet, soared into the air, and violently dunked it!

And this was just the beginning. Then the attack Azubuk broke through the basket with the help of Pitrus' cover. He made a step and trembled his wrist to throw, but the ball hit the inside of the ring and bounced out. O'Brient tried hard to get Mutombo, but the latter turned around flexibly and snatched the rebound.

Francis organized the attack patiently, and Scola inserted into the inside from the right wing. Seeing this, Francis made a pass. After getting the ball, the Argentine demon forward turned around. Pitrus, who came up to defend, was shaken away. Scola entered the penalty area and played the board to accurately send the ball into the ring.
