The Golden Age of Basketball

Chapter 393 Ignite the Medicine Keg

Donimike Wilkins is not great, but he is definitely a powerful player.

In 1982, he and James Worthy entered the league together. The Lakers, holding the No. [-] pick, finally chose Worthy from the prestigious North Carolina school, making him an important puzzle for the Zijin Army; while Wilkins was the third overall pick. Selected by the Utah Jazz, he was traded to Atlanta and became Atlanta's top card.

Many years later, many people are assuming that if Wilkins goes to the Lakers and Worthy goes to Atlanta, what will happen to the fate of the two, and will Wilkins play a more brilliant game with the Magician? Offense, and whether Worthy can break new ground in Atlanta.

Not being picked by the Lakers may make Wilkins miss the championship forever. In fact, in the cruel East, he can't even touch the floor of the division finals. The mountains were pressing on his head one after another, and the eagle had no room to turn over.

However, Wilkins is a born boss, and whether he is suitable is another matter.

His style of play and fighting spirit are just like his dunks, full of tyrannical atmosphere, as if every time he scores a goal, he has to tear the basket to pieces to give up. That kind of powerful way of bombarding the basket is similar to that of Dr. J Owen, Drexler and Jordan's chic gliding and flying are completely different.

Wilkins is not a glider, but a helicopter, straight up and down, and then dunks the ball into the basket with explosive force, giving people a huge visual impact, so he is the "human movie essence".

When playing on the court, just like his dunks, Wilkins will always go forward and never back down. When the team needs him to score, he will not hesitate to carry the banner of offense and use his precise Jump shots and savage drives score for the team, and he often kills the opponent's leading scorer, no matter the outcome, he is not afraid.

In the first half of the game against the Blazers, the Eagles were at a disadvantage both offensively and defensively, trailing the Blazers by as much as 16 points. Fratello had no choice but to pin his hopes on Wilkins. And I hope that Moses Malone can rejuvenate. In the first half, Malone was suppressed by Gan Guoyang and only took a poor three-pointer.

Doc Rivers and Reggie Troyes also performed mediocrely. The Blazers' tall and strong perimeter and extremely fast pace dragged the two of them a little bit, but the little potato Spati Webb who came off the bench played well. , when the Eagles couldn't start the situation, they relied on their chaotic ability to score consecutive points, so that the Eagles would not fall behind too much in the first half.

On the side of the pioneers, Gan Guoyang seemed to hold back a lot of strength and punched out in a circle, thinking that the opposite was a wall, but it turned out to be a piece of paper. The decline of the old Malone was so rapid that Gan Guoyang was unexpected.

But Gan Guoyang will not be merciful. With 15 points and 16 rebounds in the half, Gan Guoyang has already won the Double Fifteen. If he continues to go all out in the second half, he will get another Double Thirty in his career.

However, it depends on whether the Eagles in the second half are worth Gan Guoyang's all-out efforts.

When they came out of the player tunnel and returned to the court, the Eagles fans at home were still enthusiastic. The 16-point gap and half the game was not out of reach. The fans were still full of confidence in the Eagles.

"Beat-pt, beat-pt, beat-pt!" The fans began to shout "Down with the Blazers" to cheer for the Eagles. After trailing by 16 points, the Eagles' Cavaliers came back in the second half.

"This is so fucking different from Miami." Gan Guoyang thought to himself that in the last game against Miami, less than half of the fans had already started to defect and cheer for the Trail Blazers. In Atlanta, the fans still did not give up hope, not to mention the distance It's really early for the game to end.

The encouragement of the fans will undoubtedly stimulate the strength of the players. Wilkins held his breath in the first half, so at the beginning of the second half, Wilkins took the ball and went straight to the inside, struggling to hit the basket.

Gan Guoyang failed to block, fouled the thugs, and sent Wilkins to the free throw line. The eagle's momentum was restored in the second half.

As a defensive team, the Eagles did not show their due defensive strength at all in the first half. They pursued offensive rebounds too much, and they were chased by the Blazers all the time. The Eagles coach also adjusted their strategy in time. Knowing that it would be futile to pick up the offensive rebounds on Gan Guoyang's head, he completely gave up the offensive rebounds and retreated with all his strength, not giving the Blazers a chance to score more easily.

At the same time, the Eagles will also strengthen the pressure on the ball and increase the defensive strength, so that the Blazers' outside rotation passes will no longer be smooth. The Blazers rely heavily on the distribution and transfer of the ball in the offensive position, except for Gan Guoyang's absolute strength. In addition, the other four players distributed the ball reasonably and evenly. Even the team's second core, Drexler, does not have much more ball possessions than Terry Porter.

This is the Blazers' regular style of play, relying on fast breaks to quickly score points when the opponent's defense is lax, and paying attention to the transfer of the ball when playing positional warfare, but at the same time not implementing overly complicated tactics. Adelman believes that the Blazers are currently The offensive talents of the players, using overly complex tactical coordination like Jack Ramsey is a limitation on their ability.

The advantage brought by the simple tactics is the stability of the team's play. The players play more easily on the field and can often perform at a super level. This is why Jerome Cauchy and Terry Porter broke out under Adelman. s reason.

The ensuing disadvantage is that after the strength of the opponent's defense, especially the intensity of single defense, the team is prone to fall into a scoring shortage. This is different from the Blazers in the Ramsey era. If there is more than enough to break out, they are best at accumulating small advantages, and then leading all the way to play the whole game.

Today's Trail Blazers are completely reversed. They are extremely explosive offensively and are especially easy to hit. Especially when Porter, Cauchy, Drexler, and Williams are on the court, they are often able to hit. attack**.

When the Eagles strengthened their defensive defense and improved their physical confrontation, the Blazers' outside offense began to become more difficult, especially the fast break. No timeout was called.

"Fix the problem yourself! Solve the problem!" Adelman yelled while watching the team's offense stagnate from the sidelines. He hoped that the players could sometimes solve the problems on the field by themselves and adjust their state instead of always asking the coach to shout pause.

However, just after Adelman roared, Porter was cut off by Rivers in an outside pass, and the Eagles launched a quick counterattack.

This is one of the few opportunities for the Eagles to quickly counterattack so far, because the Blazers have always done a good job in error control, and the rushing of offensive rebounds is also relatively in place, and Cauchy keeps an eye on Wilkins at all times.

However, the poor offense made the Blazers' defensive formation start to mess up. Cauchy wanted to cut the ball to the inside to cooperate with Porter, but he was already far away from Wilkins. Waiting for Wilkins to hold the ball and go straight In the frontcourt, Cauchy obviously couldn't keep up.

All the fans at the Eagles stood up, they knew that the essence of human movies was about to stage his movie moment.

At this time, there was another villain standing in front of Wilkins, Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang did not directly take over the burden of offense in the second half. He was still trying to cover and pick and roll for his teammates, so just now Porter was intercepted and others were on the outside and ran back to the basket in time to defend.

Wilkins is like a black lightning bolt, galloping towards Gan Guoyang. His dribbling is not like the general defenders and forwards who pay attention to protecting the ball, but wide open and close, rushing forward without any consideration.

At this time, Gan Guoyang didn't take a good position under the basket. He came back a bit late, and just turned his body to face Wilkins. Wilkins had already jumped with both feet and bounced into the air.

Gan Guoyang didn't have time to take off, but Wilkins dunked hard with both hands!

"Yeah!" The scene was boiling. This was Wilkins' first dunk in this game. As long as Wilkins dunked, some viewers felt that the ticket was worth buying.

After the ball was scored, Wilkins did not let go, and swayed his legs in the air and directly put on Gan Guoyang's body.

It's okay to be detained, people are floating in the rivers and lakes without being stabbed, but Gan Guoyang absolutely can't stand being ridden on his body. <—down! (Get down, son of a bitch!)" Gan Guoyang roared and pushed Wilkins.

"What-a-bird-man! (What bird-man!)" Gan Guoyang did not forget to add a sentence.

Wilkins almost fell to the ground by accident, and his emotions also rose. Gan Guoyang's push was also a dangerous move.

"i-could-kill-you, kill-you! (I could kill you, kill you!)"

………… The two began to spout trash talk at the basket. Since the start of the new season, because the game has been relatively smooth, Gan Guoyang has not talked for a while, and Wilkins undoubtedly ignited his powder keg.

Malone and the referee managed to separate the two without causing a bigger conflict.

At this time, Adelman seemed to want to call a timeout to adjust for the Blazers. At this time, the Hawks had chased the score to only 6 points, and they played a 10:0 small **.

"No! No!" Gan Guoyang made two gestures towards Adelman Company, indicating that there is no need to call a timeout.

Adelman nodded and decided to hand it over to Gan Guoyang.

It's the best transmission in his lineup.
