One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 233: : The forgotten

"The Trail Blazers are considered to be the team most likely to be upset in the first round of the playoffs, but they lost to the Mavericks three days ago. In the eyes of Coach McMillan, losing that game was completely Luck and the referee’s fault. So today, will luck and the referee stand on the side of Coach McMillan?" Before the game started, the fans on the scene had to make Kenny Smith louder.

"Actually, the Mavericks' performance in the last game was really not excellent. Except for Dirk and Ye, everyone else seemed to be sleepwalking. Jason Kidd made 2 of 6 shots, Marion made 1 of 7 shots, and Terry 7 Of course, Peja Stojakovic, who joined the Mavericks in the middle of the season, only made 2 of 7 shots from the field. If there is one in this group who plays slightly more normal, the Mavericks won’t be so difficult to win. Today, the performance of this group of role players is precisely the key to victory for the Mavericks." The statistics listed by Barkley made people unable to believe that the Mavericks actually won the last game. No wonder McMillan would say that he was unlucky and lost even when his team played better. Few head coaches can face it calmly.

"In any case, we have to take away a victory in Dallas! I don't care what the outside world thinks, but our goal is not just the first round! Take them to me, tell the Mavericks guys, luck can only be used Once!" McMillan mobilized the emotions of his players before the game. This guy knew that if he returned to Portland with a score of 2 to 0, the whole series would become very tricky.

The Dallas Mavericks with a record of 60 wins that year were all blacked out by the Warriors. Why can't his Trail Blazers make a big fuss in Dallas?

After the game started, the two sides still played inextricably. After the first encounter, the two teams are also more familiar with each other.

Aldridge and Gerald Wallace had a very good combination of shots and sudden shots today. Good shot selection naturally made the Blazers' offensive efficiency persistent.

Yiyang and Nowitzki struggled under the more tight defense of the Trail Blazers. From the second minute of the game, the Mavericks have been lagging behind.

Three minutes, five minutes... The Trail Blazers attacked the Mavericks rim. Today the Blazers players also don't want to lose, and unlike the Mavericks, they have been driven to a dead end. If you can't win today, then the entire series may not be won.

In this way, the game lasted for 5 minutes, and Carlisle stopped the game with 3 points behind.

Mavericks fans are constantly shouting for the home team, as if the louder they shout, the more energy the Mavericks players have.

"Today the Trail Blazers played very strong, so far, the Trail Blazers have maintained the lead. Aldridge still feels very hot, it seems that today he and Dirk are going to die to the end." With this timeout, Barkley and Kenny Smith naturally began to analyze the situation on the field for the fans.

"Dirk's performance today is a lot more stable than the last game. The most important thing is that he can always create kills at the basket. But the Mavericks have not gotten a three-point shot from the game until now. The whole team has so far, The number of three-pointers is still 0. Dirk is more inclined to play inside today, and neither Marion nor Stevenson have a chance to shoot three-pointers. As for also, his desire to shoot three-pointers today is not very high. If the Mavericks team If you can score one or two three-pointers, maybe the situation will not be the way it is now. The Trail Blazers' three-point defense against the Mavericks is almost perfect. Coach Carlisle must solve the three-pointer problem if he wants to take the lead." Ken Ni Smith carefully analyzed it, allowing fans to instantly understand why the Mavericks were unable to gain the lead. The commentators are more relaxed and funny, but these commentators are not without professionalism.

As a very ordinary commentator in the commentary industry, Kenny Smith can see the problems that Carlisle, the coach, can of course also see.

In the last game, Carlisle's decisive substitution made the academic coach taste the sweetness. So today, Carlisle did not hesitate. He didn't move too many people, just walked to Peja.

"Come on, buddy, it's time to fight!" Carlisle decided to let Peja, who performed well in training, play early!

Peja froze for a moment. He didn't expect Carlisle to solve the problem by himself. But soon, the veteran regained his composure, took off his one-time training uniform, and surrounded Carlisle, who was arranging tactics.

"Three-pointers, we need three-pointers now. Also, observe Peja's running position, and the rest will make room for Peja. As for the inside line, set up a ball-free pick-and-roll for Peja as in training! Listen, when After the Trail Blazers put their focus on the defensive three-point line, also, use your breakthroughs to shred them!" Carlisle finished, rubbing the tactical board with a marker.

At the same time, the electronic buzzer sounded and the pause time ended. Seeing that Carlisle had a Peja without anyone changing, many commentators were a little puzzled about it.

"Peja Stojakovic? If it were three years ago, there would be no problem with this substitution of coach Carlisle. But now, is anyone still eager for the veteran Peja to take up the heavy task? Maybe this is just a bait. , Peja is probably just to help and open up the space." Barkley's words expressed the aspirations of many people. It's just that others dare not say, but Barkley's big mouth can't control so much.

When it comes to the golden generation in 1996, the world is more accustomed to brushing out the names of Kobe, Nash, Ray Allen, Iverson, Camby, Marbury and others at the first time. In comparison, Ben Wallace, Dampier and him, Peja, will be a little slower.

Probably because... he is a European, with the vague attribute of "which year they were chosen and which year they really came from Europe, we can't figure it out"?

There are many legendary figures in the Balkans. Compared with the legends of Podiroga, Kukoc, and Petrovich, Peja is not prominent. But when it comes to solid NBA achievements, he doesn't have the championship that Milicic won in 2004 as a human cigar, nor Kukoc's three rings.

Most of his memories are concentrated in the legendary "that kings team" before 2006. But in fact, it was Weber and Adelman who took the world lens at that time. Perhaps this is his fate. In the Balkans, Divac is a more prominent national hero. Among kings, Weber is the more magnificent and suave king. This guy always seems to be ignored, just like just now...

After playing, Peja did not write too much emotion on his face. He only knew that he was on the court with a mission.

For the first offense after coming back from the timeout, Peja ran to the front court unhurriedly, because Yiyang did not push the speed this time, which means the Mavericks will fight a solid position.

Seeing Yiyang in place, Peja began to assess the situation on the court. He knew that the Chinese would deliver the ball accurately to himself like his former partner Chris Paul did. What he needs to consider is not whether his partner can pass the ball, but whether his position is appropriate.

So, after "playing dead" for a few seconds, Peja suddenly started running. Gerald Wallace, who defended Peja, intended to help defend Yiyang, but he also put his defensive focus on Yiyang. Unexpectedly, the old guy's sudden activation, hit "Elvis" unprepared.

"Elvis" Wallace had just moved to keep up. It seemed that Peja, who was about to slip to the bottom line and ran to the other side of the court, suddenly turned around and ran!

Wallace forcibly changed his center of gravity and tried to chase defense, but Tyson Chandler suddenly went sideways, an off-the-ball pick-and-roll at the right time!

At the same time, Yiyang broke through, attracting the defensive attention of the Trail Blazers. Except for Gerald Wallace, no one cared about Peja, who had been vacated.

Yiyang made a light pass during the breakthrough, and the basketball swept across the court and flew beyond the three-point line. Peja steadily caught the basketball. At this moment, everyone's expressions were frozen, and in the eyes of this veteran, there was only the basket.

"I was abused. I was so speechless. Forgive me for swearing, his wife and his wife were **** accurate. The game just started, and he hit 40 three-pointers in a row. How can I play this?"

This is when Peja was still playing for the Hornets at the beginning of the season. When his teammate Belinelli faced reporters, he described the scene when he and Peja tried three-pointers. The Peja witnessed by Belinelli is still Peja who has entered the twilight period of his career.

Once this guy feels it, he really can't stop it.

The basketball was softly shot by Peja. In fact, Peja's shooting posture is not up to the standard. His right hand will always block his vision, but it is accurate...

Peja was like shooting from the open, a three-pointer passed through the net.

"Swipe." A sweet voice lingered around Peja again. The guy smiled slightly and pointed his finger at Yiyang to show his thanks. Then quickly step back and prepare to defend. It's just that from beginning to end, this old guy has a smile on his face. He felt extremely happy!

"Peja! This 34-year-old veteran played a role as soon as he came out! Maybe you are wrong Charles, he is old, but it is not useless!"

The next round ~www.novelmtl.com~The Trail Blazers plan to use Wallace to attack Peja's point. Although Peja is tall and has long arms, Wallace is more mobile.

Wallace did not hesitate after receiving the pass from Old Miller. After making a few three-threat moves, he started to break through.

Peja judged the direction of Wallace's breakthrough, but Wallace's strong body crushed Peja and continued forward.

"Just fight to the end!" Peja remembered the dialogue between himself and Yiyang before the start of the game. The veteran gritted his teeth and worked hard, and at the moment Wallace was about to take off and layup, he took advantage of his height and wingspan to press down the basketball in the hands of "Elvis"!

"A smashing hot pot! Peja has done a good job, he let the Trail Blazers return without success!"

Wallace turned his head in surprise, but saw that the European had already ran to the front court.

Even though his age has passed, great people are still great!
