Chapter 328 You Only Have One Chance

Chapter 327 You Only Have One Chance

Sixers current head coach Matt Guokas looked anxiously at his two assistants, wanting to hear their opinions and thoughts on the current game.

"We can't let the game go on like this."

Guokas took over from Billy Cunningham this summer after serving his predecessor for two years.

This is his first regular-season game as an NBA head coach, and he doesn't want to lose.

His two assistant coaches, John Gabriel and Jim Lynam, exchange glances.

Gabriel was at a loss for what to do about the situation.

Linam said: "Patrick Ewing's lower body strength is not strong. Maybe we can let Moses challenge him inside, and then find a way to find some players who can hit long shots."

It's a crazy idea for Malone to single-up Ewing. He's a formidable opponent on the rebound. How about offense with the ball?The effect is hard to say.

If he plays well, his shooting percentage will be very poor. Note that it is very poor, because what he is best at is not hard hitting, but picking offensive rebounds for a second attack after he can't make a strong hit.The more he scored this kind of goals, the more frustrated his opponents would be.

In the past few years, Ma Long could beat his opponent like this in every game.

Now, Guo Kasi is not sure.

This is not a solution. As for the pitcher, Guokas looked around and selected the second-year player Leon Wood PG.

Wood is the only player on the 76ers who can consistently hit three-pointers.

It was a bold switch, because Cheeks could have shredded Stockton in the matchup.What he lacks is the ability to judge defensive formations.

It is true that Wood can score three points, but he has his problems.

The 76ers called a timeout, and Guo Kasi adopted Linam's two suggestions. In addition to replacing Cheeks, he also let Malone boldly attack the Knicks inside.

"Don't be fooled by Patrick's appearance, he is much softer than you imagined!" Guo Kasi hoped that Ewing would be as vulnerable as they thought.

For the Knicks, Louis asked Tomjanovich: "Do they have a reliable shooter now?"

"There is no data," Tomjanovich said.

This is not Tomjanovich's work mistakes. Wood practiced three-pointers in the offseason. In his rookie season, his three-pointers averaged only 0.1 goals per game.

The 76ers know how much he has improved internally, so they dare to let him play.

Louis was not idle, and also made a rotation, replacing Oakley.

Because the two players on the opponent's field are Bowie and Malone, although Bowie's rebound threat is there, Louis wants to try the combination of Ewing and another person.

"Whoa! Ladies and gentlemen! Manute Bol from Sudan, [-]ft [-]in in!"

Groom Albert yelled.

"Patrick!" Louie noticed that the 76ers had replaced the player named Leon Wood. "If they use the breakthrough and scoring tactics, you have to rush to the guard who just replaced!"

"Leon, I know him," Ewing said. "He's a good shooter."

"you sure?"

"He went to the Olympics with me," Ewing said affirmatively.

"Then, as fast as his shots are, you can jump at him!" Louie gave an order, "Once he completes the shot, go back to the basket as fast as possible to protect the rebound!"

As for basket protection, neither Louis nor Ewing had any concerns.

That's what Ball came up to do.

This is the rim protector who averaged 5 blocks per game in the future. Questioning his ability to block shots is like watching a Westbrook game and questioning whether he can't get a triple-double.

Blocking shots/triple doubles is too easy for players like them.

One does nothing but protect the rim, and the other does everything but win.

Louis can think of many strategies of the 76ers, but let Malone single out Ewing, which Louis could not think of.

If there is a condition to be a superstar heads-up hit rate, Louis is willing to bet all his net worth, and Malone is definitely the one with the lowest efficiency.

Future Spurs fans will say Duncan took over the game when they describe their team's desperation.

And if fans of Moses Malone's teams are going to describe the feeling of despair, it must be when they are relying on Malone to attack.Unlike Duncan, Duncan's attack is to win, and Malone's attack is more like a performance art on the court.

Once he catches the offense, he can't stay in a good rebounding position after the shot.In this way, his speed, speed of bullets, and power of blocking are all useless.

He doesn't have the advantages of height and wingspan, and the end result for him to attack is to watch him lead the team to a dead end with less than 40% single-handed shooting.

Seeing Ma Long's unhesitating request for the position, the most unexpected surprise happened to Louis.

Ewing aggressively tried to block Wood's pass to Malone.

As a result, he was knocked to the ground by Ma Long's concealed buttocks and abdomen.

Wood got the ball, and Ewing sat on the ground and watched. Malone was about to attack the basket, and the reminder from his teammates had already approached his ear hole.

"Be careful~~~"

That was Bowie's cry.

Ma Long glanced out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils were as shocked as a character in a Conan drama seeing a dead body.

The skinny Ball blocked all his scoring lines with his 2-meter wingspan.

The only thing Malone can do is to pass the ball to Wood outside.

The 76ers thought their plan was successful. Wood caught the ball at his most certain three-point point. Just about to make a shot, Ewing, who didn't know when he ran over, had already taken off at a speed that surpassed everything. Gave Wood's ball landed before Wood, accelerated forward, galloped, chased the ball, and finally smashed violently with both hands like a silverback gorilla.

"Basketball is really back in New York! Look at how deadly Patrick was this round!"

The 76ers' coaching staff has never changed color.

Ewing has never jumped to that position to defend before. For the 76ers' outside shots, the Knicks' attitude to the opponent is exact.

You can cast whatever you want.

Therefore, they have to replace players who can shoot.

Why did Ewing come out all of a sudden?In that case, they must have been informed in advance. Only when the coaching staff reminds the players will they change their tactics. Ewing is an obedient player.

Guo Kasi didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that their timeout just now was for nothing.

Louie easily saw the 76ers' tactical intentions. Even the move to replace Ball in order to test the lineup had an unexpected effect when protecting the basket.

Ball's height and length can block all shots in the paint without confrontation.

15 is better than 9
Halfway through the first quarter.

Louis looked at Ewing's active performance, and was thankful that his weakness had not been exposed.

The 76ers, who were behind and a bit helpless, encountered the Knicks' pocket formation, with Ball protecting the basket, and Ewing could attack at will.

With the traps outside the pocket array and Ewing's league-leading delay, the Knicks' defensive strength soared.

On the outside line, Dr. J dribbled the ball awkwardly, and Tony Campbell put him two meters away.

Dr. J was so anxious that he stopped suddenly and wanted to make a strong shot, and suddenly saw that Malone was already firmly in the position under the basket.

Shots with a 0-point confidence are changed to passes.

Malone received the ball, and that position was too close to the basket. His lower body strength completely surpassed Ewing's. Coupled with the secret technique of raising his hips, he pushed Ewing's body far away.

Ewing, who lost his defensive position, could no longer pose a threat to Malone's defense.

Ma Long attacked violently and was interfered by Ball.

Grabbed the offensive rebound with the speed, he was too close to the basket, Ball's height didn't work, and Malone swiped two offensive rebounds and then forced the score.

"You %@!￥!"

Malone actually spat some trash talk at Ewing.

"What?" Ewing asked.

"That's all it takes?" Ma Long sneered, "Moses beat you up, no @%#... pressure!"

When the other party trash-talks, things change.

Ewing was about to go to the low post when Louis suddenly yelled at him.

"Patrick, that's not your place!" Louie yelled. "Go somewhere else!"

Ewing suddenly remembered that under Louis, they (inside) no longer had the right to attack.

Aggrieved, Ewing ran to the high post and made a cross screen for Campbell.

Campbell cut to the hoop, and Stockton passed the ball, giving him an easy layup.

The UCLA-style offensive scoring is wonderful, but Ewing is not relieved.

When he returned to the defense dully, Stockton said: "Cheer up, I will help you fight back later!"

"Are you sure?" Ewing asked.

Stockton's self-confidence and leadership on the court are completely different from his off-court: "I promise, but I only give you one chance, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't, you will be knocked down!"

Ewing wanted to say too little once, but Stockton was willing to give him a chance, which already deviated from Louis' tactical intention.

If he did it, Louis would naturally have nothing to say, but if he didn't, the bastard's stinking mouth would drag his family (Ewing) and his mouth (Stockton) to scold him together.

The arrangement of the 76ers coaching staff is to play Malone in the low post.

This time, Ma Long didn't want to go to the hinterland, but just outside the paint.His teammates distrusted him more than his coaching staff.

Wood passes the ball to Tony.

Tony pulls up and hits another "Oh my God, Moses is getting to the rim, let's take a random shot and let that big guy kick their ass hard."

Immediately, with the attitude of "God of QNM, I must teach you like a soldier today", he once again used his small movements to push away Ewing, who was obviously stuck in a good position, jumped up, and grabbed the offensive rebound.

When he landed, everyone was shocked.

Malone didn't know how to deal with it, so he pulled an ugly half-block on the spot.

"Shh!"

Ma Long and Ewing ran on: "Only this ability is worth 300 million? Moses doesn't like you!"

Ewing furiously said to Stockton; "Give me the ball next round!"

"Don't forget what I said, you only have one chance," Stockton reminded.
