Chapter 450 First Round ([-])

"Hahaha!!"

As the fans laughed, Kenny Smith subconsciously stroked his bald head, pointed to the large number of fans around him, and pretended to be annoyed: "I hate these laughter!!"

"flutter!!"

Rick Barry, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing out loud. He looked at the innocent and depressed Kenny Smith, and said a little bit dumbfoundingly: "Dude, you are still so annoying!"

Under the commentary and jokes of the two, as the referee blew the whistle again, the main players of both sides rushed to the court gearing up!
The Warriors still deployed a very strong main lineup before, while the Jazz's lineup has undergone some changes!
Because of Ostertag's negative behavior before, Jerry Sloan, who has always been strict in management, did not arrange him as the starting center, but put Tony Masenberg, a short center, on the field!
Seeing the Jazz's starting lineup, Rick Barry frowned secretly, and said with some puzzlement: "If Jerry replaces Tony, Tim's defense will be their heaviest point. The combination of Tony and Carl It will definitely not make a difference in the hands of Tim and Dirk!"

Kenny Smith shook his head and said in agreement: "That's right, judging from the inside strength of the Warriors, if they still replace Greg, with his height and weight, he still has some defense against Tim." Certainly a threat, but now?"

On the court, Duncan looked at Tony Masenberg indifferently. For him, he could choose to ignore the threat of this short center!
As if feeling Duncan's contempt, Massenberg couldn't help but stare at him fiercely!
"Gentlemen, watch your scales!"

The referee said something succinctly, and then threw the basketball into the air!
Watching the basketball slowly reach the top, Massenberg tried his best to point the basketball to his teammates, but Duncan's long arms obviously disappointed him!
After Billups saw Duncan touch the basketball first, he ran directly to the basketball's landing point!

Stockton, who was about to run away with his own experience, was suddenly taken aback by Billups' speed.

After Billups got the basketball, Stockton suddenly said blankly: "Boy, are you a poor little mouse??"

Hearing Stockton's trash talk, Billups was not only not displeased at all, he even laughed: "John, your old speed is too obvious!"

At the end of the speech, Billups seemed to be demonstrating to Stockton, and quickly ran forward with the ball!

"Oh, the young people of today!" Stockton's eyes flashed brightly, and he quickly ran to the frontcourt!

With the arrival of Billups, the rest of the players began to run, especially Bowen's running position was the fastest!
"Snapped!!"

With a soft sound, after Bowen got an open space for a moment, Billups passed the ball directly!
Matt Halprin hurriedly followed with some depression. Although his progress was obvious, in terms of speed, he was not as fast as Bowen!
"Tim!!"

While Harprin was about to defend himself, Bowen directly passed the basketball to Duncan who was already stuck inside!
Received the pass, although this time the twin towers tactics did not pass according to the established, but with Bowen's experience, he does not think that Massenberg is Duncan's opponent!

"Tim, you know what I'm capable of!!" Masenberg uttered such a sentence very quickly while resisting Duncan!
Hearing the other party's seemingly trash-talking provocation, Duncan couldn't help but twitched a smile, and then started his back movement!

The penalty area will be a small strategic area for both sides. Once the defensive players keep retreating like Masenberg is now, then an easy score will best explain the height here. Hit rate!
Watching the basketball go into the basket after Duncan's small toss, Masenberg first had a look of embarrassment in his eyes, then he kept silent and ran forward with a trace of depression!
Although Sloan was very aware of Massenberg's ability, seeing Duncan score so easily, he couldn't help looking at Ostertag, who was still a little upset!
Coming to the frontcourt, the Jazz's most classic pick-and-roll cooperation suddenly started!

While Stockton was standing outside the three-point line, Malone, who was standing high on the right, quickly ran towards him!
Nowitzki, who is very familiar with pick-and-roll cooperation, stood directly one step behind Malone in order to cut off the cooperation between the two.

"Bang!~"

With a soft sound, Billups suddenly felt as if he was being blocked by an iron wall, and he staggered a bit!
After seeing this scene, Stockton did not give the ball to Malone who was about to turn around immediately, but directly followed the cutting route of the two of them and ran all the way to the inside!

Seeing Stockton's action, Duncan hesitated for a moment, and he directly lifted it up!
"Hey!" Stockton smiled secretly when he noticed that Duncan moved his body forward, and then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards him!
"Damn it!!" Billups, who was half a step behind, cursed secretly after seeing Stockton's action, and hurriedly speeded up to catch up!
Quickly observing Billups, Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki who turned their attention to him, Stockton was about to collide with Duncan, and at the same time, his right hand suddenly flipped, and the basketball in his hand was like a smart elf. In an instant, it was stuffed into the hands of Ma Long, who had a good understanding with him!

"Shhh!!"

A crisp mid-range shot showed Malone's good touch!

After the two sides scored points one after another, the first half of the first quarter gradually became the core contest between the two sides!
If Nowitzki here completes a mid-range shot, Malone there will respond with an assist or a precise shot!

When the two sides hit 15, Wilkens took the lead to make adjustments!

"Manu, you should know what you are doing!" Wilkens said to Ginobili with a smile, and then pointed to Kirilenko: "Andrei, the AK47 is not just powerful!"

Receiving Wilkens' reminder, Ginobili and Kirilenko looked at each other with a smile, and then nodded vigorously to Wilkens!
The two teams returned to the court again, and the Jazz finally replaced Ostertag on the court!

"Hey, Tim, it seems that I have to teach you a lesson!" Ostertag's provocative words were directly ignored by Duncan. He didn't think the parallel center would create anything for him!
In order to create some rest time for Malone, while Sloan replaced Ostertag, he still left Massenberg on the court, but his position became a power forward!

Next to Nowitzki, Massenberg seems to be so reused for the first time, and the whole person seems to be stuck next to Nowitzki, which makes people feel very excited!
"Judging from the substitutions of the two teams, the Jazz's bench lineup is obviously weaker. I hope they can create enough rest time for Carl!" Rick Barry continued to explain professionally, he would not just because he is a warrior If you are a loyal fan of the team, put your career aside!

With Duncan's sudden promotion, the Warriors directly played the twin tower tactics that caused some headaches for all teams!
Standing on the edge of the penalty area, Nowitzki was directly entangled there by the somewhat excited Masenberg.

When Duncan turned to face Ostertag's defense, after seeing Nowitzki's situation, he frowned and started his own series of actions!

Lowering his center of gravity, Duncan directly started his breakthrough by virtue of his advantage in speed!

Ostertag tried his best to block Duncan's progress, but because of the tonnage factor, he did not keep up with Duncan's breakthrough.

Seeing that Duncan would break into the inside line very easily, Masenberg, who was entangled with Nowitzki, directly chose to give up his defense, and then blocked Duncan's only way!
When the three were about to make contact, Nowitzki ran directly to the top arc of the three-point line!
As he ran, Duncan seemed to have eyes behind him, turned around slightly and passed the ball directly!
"Crack! Squeak!!"

At the same time as receiving the basketball, Nowitzki turned his body around with an emergency stop after coming outside the three-point line!

"Shhh!!"

With a light sound, Nowitzki's soft touch made this goal look so natural and impeccable!

Looking at the basketball that fell into the Nets, Massenberg suddenly felt a little powerless!

Since entering the league, after as many as 12 years of nurturing, his experience still seems a bit thin, especially after Nowitzki completed this goal, he couldn't help but slapped himself on the head hard!

In the second half of the first quarter, the Warriors, with Nowitzki's performance, expanded their lead from the initial one-point lead to a 6-point gap!

After the first quarter, although Sloan didn't want to give up the game, the outbreak of Nowitzki and Duncan really made him a little depressed!
If Malone cannot be given enough rest time, with Stockton's offensive ability and excessive age, this is really a headache for him!

However, once the Warriors gradually play smoothly, the Jazz may not be able to get anything good in the following games even if they replace Malone!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors put on a full bench lineup.

And it was this sudden change that made Sloan helplessly replace Malone, who was already showing a little fatigue!

The fierce confrontation brought huge physical exertion to the players on both sides, especially the veterans on both sides, who were struggling with each other, and sweat dripped like water!

"Damn, Carl, I know you have more muscles, but can't you be gentle with me?" Barkley said to Malone behind him with some complaints. After years of confrontation, he really had enough Malone's muscle bumps!
"Hey, Mr. Flying Pig, it seems that I can't satisfy your request!" Malone smiled in a low voice. In another physical contact, he seemed to want to disgust the fat Buckley on purpose, and directly raised his hands Zhang, using his solid chest muscles to give Barkley's back a different kind of massage!
"God, why do I hate you so much!" After another collision, Barkley, like a huge spinning top, leaned on Malone's vigorous body at a speed that didn't suit his figure, and directly completed a crisp Turn around!

The moment he turned around, Barkley, relying on his super balance ability, slapped the basketball all the way and ran directly to the inside!
"FK!!" Malone took a staggering step forward, watching Barkley's thick legs run towards the inside line, he cursed in a low voice, and quickly chased after him!
