Chapter 247 Disadvantage Advantage

16-year-old Tyson Chandler is as thin as a bamboo pole.

But having said that, among the students present, who is a real strong man?

Young people are very popular

Chandler naturally also has the capital to be proud of. At the age of 16, he has been secretly approached by many agents. In Dominguez High School, Chandler is also the second person after Tayshaun Prince.

Participating in the Nike Global Summit, Chandler thought it was just for gold plating, just for fun.

And his opponent today, the big center forward who is much taller than him, has a square face, a serious and reserved look, and looks very good at first glance.

Yao Ming?

Sorry, never heard of it

It was the first time for everyone to meet, so naturally there was no way to be polite, and when they arrived at the competition field, everyone ate according to their ability.

It was just such a game that made all the scouts present start to marvel at how a man as tall as the "Great Wall of China" could have such outstanding basketball skills.

The 18-year-old Yao Ming can already make his mark in the CBA league.

Even if they are in the CBA league, which is not too high level, it is still a professional league.

In terms of strength, he is much stronger than Chandler who just entered the freshman year.

Chandler's acclaimed rebounds and blocked shots seemed completely helpless when he met Yao Ming, who was taller than him.

Yao Ming only felt a slight sway, and the black boy flew up as if on a spring, with every sway.

It's quite high to fly, but it's useless to him.

So Yao Ming used his solid offensive skills to conquer all the scouts present.

If Dirk Nowitzki left the basic point of accurate shooting on the offensive end, then Yao Ming left him with all kinds of excellent footwork, soft shooting touch, and comprehensive technical means.

Moreover, Yao Ming is so tall and so flexible. With his hands up, Tyson Chandler can no longer pose a threat to the basket.

Tyson really didn't expect this humble guy to be so powerful.

But he was still a little unconvinced.

"When I am 18 years old and enter the NBA, I will definitely be better than you!"

Although Yao Ming also learned English from primary school, he was limited to doing cloze and reading comprehension. This oral English is basically just guessing.

He heard about 18 and the NBA, and his first reaction was Qin Fei, the [-]th pick in the NBA?

Could it be that Tyson Chandler encouraged him to learn from Qin Fei's predecessors?

What a nice guy!

Yao Ming held his hand enthusiastically.

"thank you very much!"

Tyson Chandler looked confused and smiled awkwardly.

I wondered what was going on with this guy, did he play his cards so out of line?

Yao Ming returned to the hotel where he was staying, and hastily turned on the TV.

After a few days of researching, I already know which channel to watch sports programs on.

After searching and judging, Yao Ming found information about the NBA.

There were two games in the NBA that day. The Bulls in the East were upset and lost to the Hornets 76 to 78.

The Bulls' loss was too unexpected. Although the Bulls continued to strife this season and their performance on the court declined significantly compared to the previous two seasons, after December, the Bulls returned to the state of the previous two years, especially in March and April. The performance was very good, and the overall record reached 12 wins, well-deserved No. 62 in the Eastern Conference.

Now that the Bulls have lost, in this G2 game, except for Jordan's normal performance, all other players have fallen short of standards.

As for the Hornets, not to mention star players such as Anthony Mason Jr. and Glenn Rice, Dell Curry, Donald Royal, and even last summer's new aid Jose Hawkins played brilliantly on the bench.

When Jose was in the Supersonics in the past few seasons, he gradually showed a downward trend. This season in the Hornets, he mainly played the role of a locker room leader.

Now that the Bulls led by Jordan won the second game, the media, fearing that the world will not be chaotic, immediately gave a gimmick of "the Bulls are about to be eliminated" to attract attention.

Yao Ming also likes the Bulls quite a lot. The first NBA game he watched was the Bulls game.

The names of Jordan, Pippen and others are even more familiar.

The loss of the Bulls, in Yao Ming's view, was nothing more than normal. In a game, there are always winners and losers.

Then he saw the results of the Sonics game.

In the first game, after easily winning the Spurs, the Spurs in the G2 game showed the courage to fight to the death. In the away game, they defeated the Supersonics 98 to 96 and won the G2 victory.

lost?

How did you lose?

Yao Ming looked surprised and regretful. He thought that the Supersonics would make it to the finals this year. How could they suffer such a blow in the Western Conference semifinals?

It took him a while to react.

Well, winning and losing is normal, normal

The TV soon turned to the NBA game, and then turned to the details of the game between the Sonics and the Spurs in G2.

Compared with the Spurs' perimeter players in the first game, the Spurs' perimeter players performed much better in the second game, especially the "little general" Johnson, who withstood some of the pressure from Payton, and scored 2 points and 12 assists in the G7 game, which is quite satisfactory.

The most critical is Tim Duncan.

In this game, Tim Duncan broke out.

After experiencing the bad behavior of being dunked in the last game, Tim Duncan showed all his strength, scored 31 points and 19 rebounds in a single game with a large double-double data, and also sent 7 blocks inside, of which 3 blocks were given to Kemp, and 1 was given to Qin Fei.

Kemp felt that Garnett was more difficult to guard at the beginning, and the young man improved extremely fast, changing his appearance every year.

Unexpectedly, this big man who just entered the league is better than Garnett. Does No. 21 have any magic power?Should he also change to the number 21 jersey?

Payton is still the best player in the Sonics, with 22 points, 12 assists and 3 steals.

The personal data is excellent, but the team lost the game. This made Payton very unhappy, and he did not accept interviews after the game.

The only Supersonic player who was interviewed after the game was veteran Sam Perkins, but Perkins was obviously not in high spirits, and left the interview seat after a few simple sentences.

The head coach George Karl said that what the Supersonics lost was the home court advantage, not the match point. It is far from the end of the world, and the opponents should be given enough respect, but at the same time, they must show their strongest level to fight.

What George Karl means is that the Sonics team is far from reaching the level it should be, at least not showing all their strengths, and the Spurs are fighting their backs, and Duncan has achieved a big explosion in desperation.

If you can't cheer yourself up, you can't blame others for losing.

After the game ended, the Sonics players held a player meeting immediately.

The meeting was chaired by Payton, with the participation of all coaches and players, including Qin Fei, Kemp and other major players.

The surrounding question is still about the inside defense.

"It is impossible for a first-year player to play like this on both ends of the offense and defense. We must find a way to contain him. If not, we would rather foul."

The free throws of the Spurs team are not very good, including David Robinson and Duncan, who can make mid-range shots. This season, the free throw percentage of one is 73.5%, and the other is only 66.2%.

If you had to find a weakness in Duncan, the players thought it might be the only one.

Moreover, in the playoffs, David Robinson's free throw percentage was not high, even lower than Duncan's. The Twin Towers made [-]% of their free throw percentages in a game.

This point is mainly expressed with a group of inside players.

The inside players headed by Kemp put forward suggestions for Payton to further increase his speed.

"Our offensive and defensive conversion speed is still too slow. In G1, we defended and played a few counterattacks, but in G2, we didn't have any decent counterattacks at all. We hope to find our own rhythm. We are the Seattle Supersonics, not the Seattle classic team."

Based on their own actual situation, everyone opened up their views, expressed their views, spoke freely, and offered advice and suggestions for the Supersonics to defeat the Spurs.

The coaches affirmed the suggestions of all the players, and some reasonable suggestions were directly included in the consideration of the next game.

A few days later, San Antonio.

The Spurs and Sonics G3 battle started on time and on time.

Having learned the lessons of the G2 defeat, the Sonics went all out and finally defeated the Spurs 111 to 100. The Spurs led the series 2 to 1 and regained home court advantage.
