The god who strikes iron is here

Chapter 231 A wave of slapping the Big Three
Mosaic team starters - Barkley, Olajuwon, Drexler, Matt Maloney, Kevin Willis.

It seems that there is no difference from last season, but Zheng Tie knows at a glance...

The entire Mosaic team has fallen a lot.

35的“滑翔机”35的“大梦”34的“飞猪”，凯文.威利斯都35了，也就是一个马特.马洛尼26岁。整个首发年纪达到了33岁。

Really... quite "old".

As for the Clippers, Zheng Tie is 18, Nash is 23, Ben Wallace is 23, Rasheed Wallace is 23, and Rodney Rogers is 26.The average age is only 22.6 years old.

Therefore, before the game even started, Rick Pitino set the tone and tried to play as fast as possible to push the tempo up.

The opponent's group of people have old arms and legs, and they will definitely not be able to hold up the whole game.

In terms of scrimmage, "Big Dream" lost to Rasheed Wallace. The 35-year-old Olajuwon began to decline significantly. Normally, Olajuwon has a greater chance of winning in this kind of ball.But tonight you can clearly see that Rasheed Wallace's jump ball has the advantage visible to the naked eye.

You are 35 years old, you are married to a beautiful girl, and you have to celebrate Ramadan. Come on, unless you are Wilt Chamberlain, you are just fine.

Olajuwon's body couldn't stand such a build.

Do you know what shooting percentage he hit in this year's playoffs?

Only more than 3% hit rate, 4% not.

Is this still the Olajuwon who swept the four major centers in the 90s?

In this year's "Glider" playoffs, only more than 3% of the field goals were left. Therefore, at the beginning of this season, "Flying Pig" Barkley officially became the number one thigh of the Mosaic team.

Then, due to excessive exertion in the regular season, Fatty Ba also suffered injuries.

Mosaic Team: Pawn.

This year's Mosaic can be said to be the team with the biggest decline compared to last year without much change in the lineup.

If they were to play against them in the first round of the playoffs, Zheng Tie would have the confidence to sweep them out.

Tonight is just a test.

Tell the world that the so-called powerful Big Three ceased to exist in last year's playoffs.

Playing fast, that's a must. If you don't play fast, is it still called the Los Angeles Clippers?

Who is the current team scoring list?
Isn't it the Los Angeles Clippers?

The Mosaic team wants to form?No, no, how could I give you time?
Zheng Tie took the ball in the past and was in the middle of a counterattack. He tried the feel first, brushed——

Oh, it's not bad, I scored the first goal, and it seems that I can shoot farther later.

The offense of the Mosaic team is completely more positional than the positional style of play in the 90s.

It took seven or eight seconds to come slowly, and it took another seven or eight seconds to wait for these "old men" to settle down. If you fight again, if the tactics fail once, it becomes "bomb ball time", and you have to fight if you don't fight up.

This kind of ball, maybe the "Big Three of the Mosaic Team" used to be fine, and any of the three can play, but now it is 98, and Zheng Tie really wants to say something——

Old men, times have changed.

Drexler's speed declined again in 98, which is why he only surrendered barely 3% of his field goals after his playoff intensity increased.You have to know that "Glider" may not be as capable as Jordan in his career, but his shooting percentage is almost 2%, which is too damn.

The "glider" who couldn't stand the blow decisively chose to retire.

Because of the decline in speed, Drexler's "gliding breakthrough" was even slower. In addition, Zheng Tie has already reached 100 points in defense with the ball this season. Defense against him alone is simply——

Bread dumplings in a steamer.

No matter which way Drexler wants to go with the ball, he will be blocked by the sophomore in front of him. Even before, he could rely on a little experience and body to force out space. Can no longer be achieved.

Because after the offseason, Zheng Tie is no longer inferior to him in terms of tonnage and strength. He can no longer use his body to create an advantage and break through Zheng Tie's defense.

In addition, the Mosaic team played too slowly, and Drexler made a few sudden attempts but failed to pass. The 24 seconds of offense were almost over.

After all, Drexler is still a good character. He usually doesn't pass "bomb balls" and can only rely on his height to throw one.

But Zheng Tie has increased to 199.9cm during the offseason. In terms of barefoot height, he is no longer inferior to "Glider". With the physical confrontation, "Glider" did not have much room to take action. The moment the ball was released, Zheng Tie was …

He actually touched it with one hand.

It's hard defense.

It's still the most difficult way to block shots, such as frontal shots.

After it was covered, the "glider" wanted to chase after it, but it was ready to exert its strength. Zheng Tie had already run far away, and Drexler saw it...

Well, don't waste your energy, it's impossible to prevent the ball.

In the absence of defense, Zheng Tie was rude, and came with a folding back buckle, and it turned out...

Almost missed the ball.

Damn, besides King Kong and hammer dunk, can I only do the most common one-handed dunk?
This is too uncool.

Emmmmmm... Whoever called your dunk action pack, there are not many of them.

I haven't practiced much dunk tricks during the offseason, so it's not so easy to suddenly want to be good in an official game.

But just go in, Zheng Tie helped the team get 5 points at the beginning.

5-0.

Fortunately, "Dream" started well tonight. Because of Barkley's existence, Shuang Wallace didn't dare to hit Olajuwon together. Good efficiency.

After all, what defenders of Ben's type fear most is not O's strength, but Olajuwon's skill.

This will make his brute force nowhere to be displayed and placed.

Seeing that Olajuwon is in good condition, the Mosaic team also increased the proportion of giving the ball to Olajuwon. In the first quarter, the two teams were inseparable from the scene.

When it was time for the rotation, Mark Jackson almost beat his opponents to the ground, because the Mosaic team had already lost a lot of blood in order to sign the Big Three.You know, Alexander, that's notoriously averse to spending money.

As far as the Mosaic team's double championship in the 90s, no matter the cards or the team's salary, they were the most shabby of these championship teams in the 90s.

Apart from this seemingly luxurious starting lineup, the most powerful player in the rotation is actually...

Two older men.

One is 35-year-old Mario Eli, and the other is 38-year-old Eddie Johnson.

At this time, under Zheng Tie's suggestion, Rick Pitino used the combination of Stephen Jackson + Majorin O'Neal to level up, and beat the two old men on the opposite side almost without breaking their legs.

Especially Majorin O'Neal, a high school student that Pitino was not optimistic about, unexpectedly played extremely tough tonight after "awakening".Change his lack of blood in the Trail Blazers.

Is it...

Are high school students really so fierce these days?
Isn't the future the world of high school students?

However, O'Neal Jr.'s maturity speed is not as fast as that of "Martial Saint" Jackson. Now he mainly supports "Martial Saint Brother", drinks some soup and accumulates experience.

But for Jermaine O'Neal, who basically sat on the bench last season, it was already a very happy feeling.

That Clippers backup high school student is so fierce?

In order to curb the score, Tomjanovich sent Charles Barkley up. Because Barkley was relatively the youngest among the "Big Three", Tomjanovich asked him to put out the fire.

Although Barkley lost his overall panel rating this season, dropping from 89 points last year to 87 points, even so, it was still quite easy to deal with rookie Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal who was still working hard to fix the rotation.

Fatty Ba stabilized the situation immediately after he came up, but he was old, and if he did this, he might not be able to last until the end.

By the end of the rotation time, Barkley was already out of breath, but through his deterrence, the score difference was almost tied.In the middle of the second quarter, when the main players on both sides began to come up, Tomjanovich let the whole team enter the rhythm of the "big dream". Olajuwon's technical characteristics restrained Daben, and it was not wrong to do so.

That is, Olajuwon is also 35 years old, how long can you last like this?

If ten or five years ago, playing Olajuwon in this way could carry the whole game, is it still possible now?
But don't forget, he still has a beautiful girl who is waiting for him to come back every day to "play another ball."

For tomorrow's back-to-back, Rick Pitino did not choose to play the main force. There are as many as 82 games in the regular season. How to reasonably allocate the team's physical fitness is also a big problem.The biggest problem for rookie players is this. They don’t know how to manage their physical fitness. They feel that they can roam around when they are young. Then after the All-Star Game, all the teams really started to step on the gas pedal. Already empty.

What to do now?
Just wait.

This group of old men can't last long, and the style of play of this Mosaic team is relatively monotonous.

It is the Big Three's various singles, and then rely on personal ability to solve problems.

They were basically online last year, and this mode almost made it to the finals, but if two of them are not online, or even... three of them are often offline, and you still want to run this mode, it will only be more difficult. The harder it is to fight.

At the same time, the recovery of the distance from the three-point line also caused the Mosaic team's outside attack ability to decline significantly.

Last year, at least Drexler was able to shoot three-pointers, but this season, the three-pointers immediately became only in the early 3s, which is not very accurate.And he is not the kind of top four shooting guards who can digest the difficult shots of "non-opportunity ball possession".

Barkley's three-pointers are still more than 2%, and neither Olajuwon nor Willis has any three-point attack ability. After all, the entire Mosaic team has just one position, Matt Maloney. 1% of the three-pointers.

In this way, the inside version of the one-star four-shot system built around Olajuwon back then could not be played at all.

Coupled with the decline in the ability of the "Big Three" to break the game individually, the difficulty of attack will only intensify.

If it weren't for Olajuwon to beat Wallace tonight, it's not bad, and the technical flow is restrained so that Daben will die. Otherwise, Drexler will be basically pegged by Zheng Tie, and Barkley will play the rotation time and physical fitness Excessive consumption, the Mosaic team can't bite the current score.

when--

Finally, the time has come. The "big dream" is no longer the "big dream" a few years ago. Now he is not only slow to warm up, but also his physical fitness has been greatly weakened because of marrying a concubine. Therefore, when his hit rate drops, the Clippers opportunity for the team.

Zheng Tie started to exert his strength. Now he has also learned how to distribute his physical energy. When the team is playing smoothly, he only plays counterattacks, focusing on individual defense and minimizing the consumption on the offensive end.Then when it came time to quickly open up the score, he stood up again and led the team to attack a wave of attacks.

After all, the tasks of this season are different from those of last season. Last season was purely about data. This season is not only about collecting data, but also...

Both wins.

Then learning about physical fitness distribution is what Zheng Tie must do well before he becomes the outside "Zhang [-]".

As for the concept of "one wave", it was also mentioned by Zheng Tie and Pitino, well...

It hit Pitino's "ABCDEFG" spot in an instant.

Pitino saw the opportunity coming, Olajuwon's shooting rate dropped, and Barkley hadn't passed the halftime break, so he slowed down, waved quickly, and launched a wave of offensive.

At this time, Drexler realized the horror of the oriental man in front of him this season.

If Zheng Tie was mainly doing defensive counterattacks before, and the technical content of such a fight was not high, then now...

This guy's off-the-ball running position completely threw himself away almost instantly.

Note that it is completely, completely shaken off.

Drexler knows that his abilities are definitely not as good as those at his peak, and there is nothing wrong with declining year by year. However, in just one season, he was completely eliminated by No. 7 in an instant. He does not think that it is just as simple as his abilities have deteriorated.

In the absence of major injuries, the decline is also stepwise, at most the difference between a large step and a small step.

and so……

Seeing No. 7's already somewhat ghostly running without the ball interspersed, it was the first time that Drexler felt such a huge sense of powerlessness in his heart.

brush--

Zheng——————— Iron!

brush--

Zheng——————— Iron!

brush--

Zheng——————— Iron!

Zheng Tie made three of the four balls, and Drexler pursued with all his strength. He was either thrown away by the opponent's right-to-left lateral movement, or the opponent used pick-and-rolls and screens to easily get an open shot.

Drexler even sensed it from the eyes of the other person, in the gaze of No. 7...

Without myself.

Drexler was a little "angry" and wanted to get back a city for himself. He used his special skills "gliding breakthrough" and "gliding turn" in this breakthrough.

This was definitely one of his favorite techniques for scoring points before, and there are not many people who can stop it.

but……

The ball was caught by the number 7 on the opposite side, who was perfect, kept up with the whole process, and forced it to stop.

For a moment, Drexler couldn't believe it was true.

Even if this move was blocked, at most it would have been impossible to penetrate or break through into a good position. Moments like this when being completely held down or even forced to a stop by a single soldier were rare in his memory.

Suddenly, a voice told him that the door of his era had basically been closed.

It was the same moment as last year when he could at least fight back and forth with Zheng Tie, and sometimes even had a slight upper hand...

They're all going to disappear completely.

After passing, Zheng Tie easily threw him away again, and cleverly used the cover to reverse the direction and come out, catching the ball and shooting it.

Drexler's ball was firmly nailed in by Big Ben.

Seeing that No. 7 raised his hand, it was another three-pointer, swiping...

Drexler found it difficult to breathe.

In half a quarter, Zheng Tiebiao scored 5 three-pointers, and Nash Jr. urged the team to push quickly, and a 28-6 climax appeared in an instant.

With a score difference of 22 points, the Mosaic team, a group of old men, really can only pray for a miracle to catch up.

Seeing No. 7 on the opposite side chatting and high-fiving with his teammates, "Glider" felt as if his old legs had been filled with another layer of lead, making them heavier and heavier.
