Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 63: Scoring champion?That's it?

However, Chambers cannot succeed every time.

Thel Bailey's height is there, not to mention there is a mammoth elephant Mark Eaton on the other side.

Although Eaton moves slowly, his steps are a little clumsy, and he is not strong in grabbing boards, his long wingspan can still give him a blocking advantage in the airspace.

He must be pushed out of the basket for the Sonics' inside attack to go smoothly.

Chambers is occasionally pestered by Bailey and interfered by Eaton, and his success rate in hitting the basket is not particularly high.

But enough.

Throughout the second half of the second quarter, he used the inside as his stage and continued to stage his scoring performances.

By the end of the first half, he had already left the field with 13 points in a single quarter.

"Thanks for the pass."

On his way off the court, Chambers quietly gave a thumbs up as he passed by Su Wen.

"You're welcome, we're a team."

Su Wen responded with a smile.

After he came on the court in the second half of the second quarter, he almost didn't score. He kept passing the ball, and more often he dropped the ball inside to Chambers and McCormick, allowing them to play.

Although Lanny Wilkens has always emphasized that basketball is a team scoring game, he also designed a team offensive system based on this concept.

But regardless of this, when it comes to critical moments, most of them can only rely on the performance of the star players in the team.

This system cannot always run smoothly.

Especially after the Utah Jazz strengthened their defense in the second half and focused on preventing their pick-and-roll cooperation, the smoothness of the ball movement was restricted.

At this time, the ball in Su Wen's hands became more ammunition sent to the inside.

This is also one of Wilkens' usual tactical options.

Chambers has such a strong inside impact. If he doesn't make good use of this advantage, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Last season, Wilkens gave Chambers such power.

It's just that there was no strong outside scoring point like Su Wen as a check at the time. Many of the ball rights that Chambers received were often taken care of by his opponents, making it difficult to directly attack the frame and had to pass the ball rights back.

it's good now.

Having scoring points like Su Wen on the outside distracts the defensive attention, freeing Chambers and allowing him to play more efficiently on the offensive end.

Su Wen has become the connecting link in the Sonics' collective offensive end, the link in the ball rotation, and the most critical link.

After the SuperSonics acquired Su Wen and changed their lineup in the new season, as an opponent, the Utah Jazz felt their strength.

Chambers was activated, and Su Wen was waiting for an opportunity outside. The internal and external firepower was very strong, which made them a little careless, and the defensive formation was stretched wide.

If Su Wen hadn't had much desire to score tonight, they would have fallen behind by more than 13 points.

Their team's star player, Adrian Dantley, was severely restrained by Su Wen. He was followed throughout the game and his intensity was severely increased.

In the end, he only scored 3 points in the first quarter. The second quarter was better. Su Wen's defensive intensity decreased, allowing him to score 5 points.

8 points in the half, which is considered an invisible performance for the scoring leader who averaged 30+ per game last season.

64:51
They entered the halftime period with this point difference.

"In the second half, they may selectively strengthen their interior defense. We need to pay attention to this, boys. They let us play too smoothly tonight, and now they are so many points behind, they will not be willing to accept it."

In the locker room, Lenny Wilkens stared at Chambers, "You played well in the second quarter, but you also need to be careful about the pressure they put on you next."

"They're not going to let you score as easily as they did before."

"Got it, Lanny!"

Tom Chambers responded casually, and turned to Su Wen aside and said: "Su, the pass you gave me in front was very good, and I received it very comfortably."

"But it would be better if I could give him more lead so I could dunk more baskets."

Do you really love dunking so much?
Su Wen was speechless when he heard that the other party was so fond of dunking.

I always want to dunk at every turn. Have you ever asked about the psychological feeling of the basket?

There was a mad rant in his heart, but he didn't take the other party's suggestions very seriously.

It's not that he doesn't want to pass more advance, but there is an Eton inside.

For such a tall guy with such a long wingspan, if he passes the ball too deep, he will definitely be interfered with.

However, he still pretended to listen to the suggestion carefully and at the same time, put forward his own suggestion: "Tom, if you can put your own defender in front of you more often, I think I will."

"OK!"

Chambers was very happy and made a gesture of agreement, "I will never let that guy hinder my dunk!"

Dunk, dunk, why do you love dunking so much?
Su Wen rolled his eyes after hearing this.

At this time, El Wood on the other side, for some reason, saw that his friend who used to play so well with him and would open up about everything was now flirting with Su Wen, looking very affectionate, which was inexplicable. I felt a bit sad.

So, Tom, our love will fade away, right?

Sure enough, as Wilkens expected, at the beginning of the second half, the Jazz strengthened their defense inside.

They actually switched Eaton to Tom Chambers' side and asked him to stay behind the latter and block the airspace.

Bailey switched to McCormick.

This defensive change surprised the fans at the scene.

"Wow, that mammoth actually had to defend Tom alone in the second half, which was unexpected."

"What does the opponent's head coach want to do? Does he think the big elephant can really guard Tom?"

"I'm a little worried about Tom. Such a tall guy can still interfere with him even if he doesn't do anything. Tom won't be able to score at will."

"Oh my god, that No. 53 (Mark Eaton) has taken up all of Tom's positions, how can we fight?"

Not only the audience noticed the Jazz's change of formation, but Chambers, as a person involved, was also very surprised.

They had made many reminders and made many targeted arrangements, but as soon as they changed the defenders, all their plans failed.

Because Chambers does not have a stable shooting level, he needs space if he wants to rush up and attack the frame.

But as soon as Eaton stepped toward the basket, he occupied a lot of space.

And as fans are worried, even if Eaton does nothing, as long as he opens his gibbon-like arms, it will have an impact on Chambers, who will not be able to rush up.

Sure enough, Chambers tried several attacks in the first few minutes of the third quarter, but all failed.

Eaton's physique and tonnage took up too much space under the basket, and his airspace was completely covered by his terrifying wingspan, which brought great difficulties to Chambers every time he attacked the frame.

Without enough space to impact, Chambers languished and lost his offensive influence.

However, the Jazz took the opportunity to seize the opportunity and launched a wave of 11:4 offensive attack, chasing the point difference to only 2 points.

Wilkens had to call a timeout to interrupt the opponent's momentum and rearrange tactics.

He continued to emphasize the importance of ball rotation as always, then looked at Su Wen seriously and gave the instruction, "Su, take action when you have the opportunity, don't hesitate."

"We need to open their blockade on the inside from the outside, and we need you to provide more firepower to attract them, do you understand?"

"If our inside line continues to be restricted like this, the tactics will not work at all."

"We have to punish them!"

"Okay!" Su Wen flexed his muscles and looked like he was going to have a big fight.

The timeout is over, and both sides return to the court.

As soon as Su Wen settled down in the frontcourt, Adrian Dantley smiled inexplicably, which made Su Wen puzzled for a while. The next second, he heard the other party ask: "Rookie, are you tired?"

"You spent a lot of energy defending me in the first half, right?"

"So what?" Su Wen tilted his head and looked at him, not quite understanding what the other person wanted to express.

"As someone who has been through this," Dantley said as if a senior was educating a junior, "I would like to give you a piece of advice."

"Don't defend me so hard. I'm a two-time scoring champion, so I'm not easy to defend."

"You should spend more energy on how to make your debut better."

"For example, score two more points, grab one more rebound, make your data look better, and let the outside world see that your performance is worthy of your draft position."

"Stop spending your energy pestering me!"

After saying that, he looked like he was taking care of himself and behaved like a good old man, which almost made Su Wen angry.

Just let you score an extra two points, and you're just like that?
Are you drunk?

Don’t you want to look at our current data comparison?
Although Dantley participated in the 11:4 offensive climax in the second half, he completed two fast-break counterattack shots and scored 4 points.

But judging from the score in the entire game, he scored 12.

Of course, Su Wen is not high either.

So far, there are only 13 points.

But one more point is one more point. Comparing the two, Su Wen is still ahead.

What's more, he has also sent out 8 assists and grabbed 3 rebounds so far. This data is much more comprehensive than the opponent.

Su Wen didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.You were almost guarded against me in the first half, how could you have the nerve to educate me?
Su Wen walked silently to the inside. When Dantley saw that he didn't respond, he thought he was being stimulated and felt proud.

However, at this time, Brad Davis suddenly burst in from the outside and rushed to the free throw line. When encountering Ricky Green's tenacious defense, he passed the ball across and sent it to Su Wen.

Su Wen took the opportunity to attack, and after receiving the ball, he rushed past Dantley and rushed to the basket in an instant.

Dantley did not expect that his movements would be so decisive and swift. When he reacted, he had been thrown away several positions and had to give up the pursuit. He watched helplessly as Su Wen entered the basket and avoided Eaton's huge body. Body, slip to the other side and throw.

"Shh!"

Eaton, who is tall and mighty but very clumsy, wanted to defend and block the ball, but Su Wen still slipped away and threw the ball into the net pocket on the other side of the basket that was out of his reach.

fast!
It’s extremely fast!

Su Wen used his terrifying speed to score two consecutive layups.

After finishing, he passed by Dantley easily and glanced at him sideways, "Compared with saying that I can't guard against you, you can't guard against me, old guy!"

The first half of the sentence seemed okay to Dantley, but the word 'old guy' at the end directly aroused him, and he roared crazily in his heart.

asshole!

I'm only 28 years old!
Dantley, who was extremely annoyed, rushed in with the ball. No matter how closely Su Wen followed, he got inside and shot.

Unfortunately, the touch was not up to par, or the ball was thrown too hastily and the basketball hit the basket.

Eaton was about to push away Chambers for a rebound, but there was someone faster than him, flying up from behind him and grabbing the rebound first.

Eaton looked back and saw only the emerald green back of No. 9.

This is his weakness.

Although he is tall and tall, he looks like a mammoth, but he can't jump.

This is definitely a disadvantage for him in rebounding.

If he could jump, his average rebounds per game would not be below 10 all year round.

After successfully hitting the board, Su Wen ran with the ball non-stop.

Dantley, who missed the shot, originally wanted to delay the shot. Unexpectedly, Su Wen passed the ball halfway to Brad Davis, who was receiving the ball in front, and then accelerated like crazy.

When he rushed to the free throw line in the frontcourt, Davis threw the ball over the basket, and then Su Wen fell from the sky and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.

The alley-oop was completed in an instant.

Returning to the backcourt, Su Wen said to Dantley in an imposing manner: "Next, you won't score a point."

"what?"

Dantley was shocked by his domineering declaration and replied blankly: "You think you can do it?"

Su Wen shrugged and didn't respond, but the bright look in his eyes said everything.

Dantley expressed disbelief and took the initiative to ask for the ball from his teammates.

After his teammates passed the ball, he went straight inside and quickly rushed to the basket.

But Su Wen kept following him, and his hands were not idle. If he was not interfering, he was always on the way, constantly infringing on the opponent's advance route.

Dantley, who was so annoyed, suddenly stopped suddenly, and then shot a jumper without waiting for Su Wen to stabilize his center of gravity.

What he didn't expect was that when he jumped up, Su Wen forcibly stopped his forward momentum, turned around and jumped up too, reaching out to intercept him.

"Snapped!"

His movements were fast and quick, as if he were reacting subconsciously. Without any hesitation or stagnation, he turned around and jumped to block the shot successfully.

When the basketball was swatted away, everyone in Dantley was stunned.

how come?
He was so shocked by Su Wen's series of reflexes that he didn't recover for a long time after landing.

At this time, Al Wood (well, he finally got out) grabbed the ball and passed it to Davis.

Davis accelerated the ball forward and then passed the ball, targeting Su Wen who followed him.

Su Wen once again showed his unreasonable speed. After blocking Dantley, he followed the momentum of the rush and ran to the front. He was so fast that he reached the inside before Davis, who went back first.

After catching the basketball from the air, Su Wen rushed all the way to the basket and scored a dunk without stopping.

This made El Wood vomit, and the look he looked at Davis was full of resentment.

I obviously grabbed the ball, but you passed it to that guy?

Once again scoring a goal through a fast break counterattack, Su Wen came back and continued to deal with Dantley, "I said, I won't let you score another point."

"Don't be so proud, rookie!"

As a long-established superstar, when had Dantley been so humiliated by a newcomer? He angrily said, "When I entered the league, you were still nursing."

"So, you are just an old guy."

Su Wen sneered: "Otherwise, why don't you score in my hands?"

"Look, I've been scoring on you just now."

As he spoke, he looked at the other person with a smile and added again: "If I am a rookie, then who are you?"

"Rubbish?"

"What?"

Dantley immediately became furious, waving his fists and asking, "Am I trash?"

"Yes, you are trash." Su Wen was not threatened at all and continued to spray: "You are worse than a rookie, what are you if you are not trash?"

"If you have the guts, you'll score a point with me."

"Then I will admit that you are better than trash."

"It's the fighter among the garbage!"

Better than trash?
A fighter in the trash?

Isn’t that still garbage?

Dantley was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He gritted his teeth and growled: "Wait for me, kid!"

As he said that, he reached out to his teammates for the ball again. By this time, he was so angry that he completely lost his mind.

Although Ricky Green was confused and hesitant because he frequently asked for the ball and wanted to play hard, but when he thought that the opponent was now the core of the team and their only superstar, he still obediently handed over the ball.

After receiving the ball, Dantley didn't even bother to do a fake test step, and directly stood up to Su Wen to shoot.

How could Su Wen let him shoot the ball so easily? He jumped with all his might and blocked him head-on with a head-high height.

"Snapped!"

There was another crisp sound, and Su Wen blocked him again.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the opponent to react, Su Wen rushed forward, grabbed the ball, and then strode forward.

Just when Dantley turned around in confusion, a domineering dunk sounded behind him.

Su Wen once again completed a fast break counterattack.

Ahhh! !

After Dantley watched the opponent successfully dunk, he ran back with such a triumphant look that he almost felt internal injuries.

A shot that he was bound to win was blocked and turned into a counterattack. He felt angry and aggrieved.

But he still didn't believe that he couldn't get a point from the opponent and that the opponent could suppress him so perfectly.

He reached for the ball again.

Looking at Su Wen's eyes, the fire almost burned the entire arena.

Ricky Green didn't hesitate this time, and the basketball was quickly passed to him.

Dantley held the ball and learned the lesson. He did not attack immediately. Instead, he took a tentative step and pretended to rush in from Su Wen's left side to deceive him.

Su Wen did not react. He kept a defensive posture in front, his center of gravity extremely stable.

When Dantley saw this, he gritted his teeth and pushed straight in.

Su Wen started at the same time and kept chasing him in, squeezing him with his body and constantly forcing him to run outside, making him unable to follow the route he wanted and staggering.

If he hadn't stabilized his body in time and retrieved the ball, he might have fallen to the ground and made a big joke.

However, at this time, by forcefully collecting the ball, he could no longer break through and had to forcefully take a shot.

Su Wen was still very close to him, almost covering his whole body. If he hadn't forcibly restrained himself and prevented the referee from seizing the opportunity to block the opponent, he could have hugged him and run away.

The whistles of the 80s were still very loose.

Dantley made a strong shot and missed it again. The rebound was grabbed by McCormick, and his offense ended.

After Su Wen successfully defended again, he said calmly and unforgivingly: "Scoring champion? That's it?"

　Ask for a ticket!
