Odom's sudden outburst shocked the entire Suns team. They did not expect that Odom would be able to perform such a wonderful performance just after they released the blockade on Odom. In surprise and panic, Odom's
The blockade was immediately tightened again. But no matter how strengthened, a team could only have five players on the field at the same time. No matter how it was adjusted, it could only be within the range of five players on the field. Even if it was led by David Stern
The team has no way to put a sixth man on the court. The defensive energy placed on Odom has been strengthened again, and the inevitable result is that the defensive pressure on Adrian will be reduced. The most important thing is,
Sean Marion, a Gibbon who can defend from the second to the fourth position, will certainly not be able to spare any extra energy to interfere with Adrian's offense.
Someone had foreseen this situation a long time ago, and D'Antoni couldn't help but smile. This is the scary thing about a dual-core team. Once the dual-core team achieves good cooperation and can jointly exert their own strength, there is almost no way to defend its offense.
.Because when you focus on one of them, you must leave too much room for the other person to develop.
There are not many true dual-core teams in the league. The more typical one is the unqualified dual-core lineup of the Houston Rockets. The cooperation between Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady has their respective shortcomings too obvious. Yao Ming is gradually aging under O'Neal.
Since then, he has become the league's biggest inside player. It is almost impossible to defend Yao Ming one-on-one. However, Yao Ming is strong offensively and weak defensively, and has serious physical problems. He cannot maintain efficient performance throughout the game. His physical strength is only
Can support high-level performance in three quarters. And the other core Tracy McGrady has been troubled by back injuries for a long time, leaving him among the offensive options. Breakthroughs are getting less and less, and there are more and more jump shots. A core that can only jump shots is far away.
Unable to take on the core task. More importantly, the two seemed very out of tune. There was an irreconcilable difference between Yao Ming's rhythm and Tracy McGrady's. One inside and one outside, the combination of inside and outside looked very beautiful, but in the actual game
Among them, the inside and outside are often separated, forming two independent attack circles, one inside and one outside. On the contrary, there is no way to form a combination.
But the combination of Odom and Adrian is completely different. The increasingly mature Adrian is capable of both inside and outside, and his passing organization ability is one of the few in the league. Coupled with his strong physique,
He is simply a white replica of James. Even because of his attainments in passing and rhythm control, he is better than James. D'Antoni can't understand at all why no one has heard of Adrian before the start of the season.
name!
This is so abnormal!
As for Odom, his offensive ability is not strong, and in this combination, it seems that Odom does not need to have too strong offensive ability. But Odom is also capable of inside and outside. Between him and Adrian
With the pick-and-roll cooperation, they pull out and play in. The two of them cross and switch positions almost non-stop. He can always get a lot of opportunities. And Odom's excellent personal skills and rich offensive methods can ensure that he
You can seize these wonderful opportunities.
D'Antoni's choice to lock Odom was a helpless choice. Although after the Lakers' duo, Adrian was obviously a much more important core than Odom, but because he did not have the right hand to lock
The player who killed Adrian, he could only choose to let Marion lock Odom. But what he never expected was that with Odom being locked up, Adrian personally played like this
The horrific performance forced him to change his tactics like drinking poison to quench his thirst to counter Adrian's personal performance. This was simply...
"Why?" D'Antoni's eyes were red as he stared at Phil Jackson, who was standing across from him. All kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred were mixed together to form a complicated and strange feeling in his heart.
"Why do you, an old guy, always get to meet such super players? Why do I..." There is no need to mention the various resentments in D'Antoni's heart at this time. The players on the Suns team have re-strengthened their blockade of Odom.
The effect was achieved, but once the blockade on Odom was strengthened and without the assistance and interference of Shawn Marion, Adrian immediately became active again and played three consecutive singles. Although he only hit one ball, he successfully caused a historic victory.
Steve Nash and Aaron Rose each committed a foul, and their stable performance of four free throws made the Suns generals' cheeks twitch. This also allowed Adrian's personal scoring data to once again increase to fifty-six points, which is enough to carry the record.
The position that has entered history. The on-site referee's favoritism towards Adrian is blatant. Fifty-six points, this score has already broken the historical rookie playoff scoring record, and this record is far away from the record set by the great Jordan.
The personal highest scoring record of 63 points in the playoffs is only seven points away. Seven points is really not a big gap. Now there are three minutes and 42 seconds left before the end of the game. The Lakers take the lead at 92:88.
He beat the Suns by four points, and he was full of hopes of catching up and breaking the record.
"Ed, sixty-three!" Apparently, someone realized what this score symbolized.
"Ed, sixty-three!" With the first shout, more people realized what this meant.
"Ed, sixty-three!" More and more people joined in the loud shouting, and all the cheers came together at this time, roaring, shouting, and looking forward to it!
Adrian's face was naturally flushed with stimulation, and even his eye circles couldn't help but turn red. In this huge stadium, his name was being recited all over his ears, and Adrian's vanity was completely satisfied!
The Lakers players are also cheering for joy. They will witness history. As participants in history and Adrian's teammates, they will share the glory that Adrian has.
The other group of people couldn't help but look livid. They were the players of the Suns, from Nash to the water fountain guards, and even D'Antoni, who looked as livid as if his parents were dead!
Everyone knows what it means if Adrian breaks or even just catches up with Jordan's 63-point playoff scoring record in this game. It means that Adrian has completely become famous. From the so-called 06
-The best rookie in the 2007 class, the best rookie since the 2003 class is heading towards superstar status, representing another great figure who is about to dominate the league and rising from the wave of the times, representing... They, the Phoenix Suns, represent
All of them will be nailed to the pillar of shame of history for others to humiliate!
"I absolutely cannot accept it!" Stoudemire stood up first, his face ashen, anger and unwillingness pooling in his chest, waiting for a big explosion.
"We must not let that guy score again!" Sean Marion stood up immediately. His face was like Stoudemire's, like the knife-like north wind in the cold winter, with a cold and violent atmosphere.
"That's right!" Steve Nash stood up next. This famous NBA man also stood up at this moment. He had a rare serious expression on his face and simply expressed his support: "That's right.
Let him know that our sun is not something to be trifled with!"
The top players in the team all stood up and expressed their opinions. No matter what they thought in their hearts, the other players naturally followed suit and stood up. In an instant, everyone reached a consensus. The game can be lost, but...
...We must not let Adrian score again!
In the next attack, Adrian felt the firmness of this determination. When he once again shook off Jaylen Rose and was about to lay up, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from behind, which made him
His center of gravity immediately lost balance. Although Adrian tried his best to adjust, he still couldn't control it and fell directly to the floor, facing the floor.
"Bang!"
**The sound of it hitting the floor was heartbreaking.
Behind Adrian, Jaylen Rose raised his arm apologetically and apologized to the referee: "Sorry, I was too anxious. This is my fault."
Jaylen Rose's sincere apology confused the referee. Although the loudest boos were heard at the scene, he saw Adrian standing up calmly and did not look like he was injured, so he gave Jaylen Rose the apology.
-A common foul by Ross, which is considered a warning.
But this is not the end. Next, as long as Adrian holds the ball, he will be harassed by all members of the Suns without scruples. In order to harass Adrian, they don't even bother with the most basic defensive formation!
Bang bang bang...
Adrian was pushed to the ground again and again, and the game was interrupted again and again. As Suns players continued to stretch out their arms, the referee's whistle sounded like a cricket in the night.
"Ed, why don't you come down and rest for a while." Taking advantage of the dead ball, Phil Jackson called a timeout and suggested to Adrian. It was too chaotic now, and Adrian continued to stay on the court, injured.
The possibility is too great. Phil Jackson feels that the risk is not worth taking.
"No!" Adrian shook his head and rejected Phil Jackson's kindness: "If I come off the court, the Lakers' offense will immediately be in chaos. The Lakers are only leading by five points now. This score is not safe. And...
"
Adrian also had a reason that he didn't say out loud. Now his score has reached 58 points, which is only five points away from Jordan's record of 63 points. Although Adrian understands that these records don't really mean anything, but
...When this record was in front of him, Adrian still couldn't restrain his impulse to break it.
For this impulse, Adrian is willing to take risks. (To be continued...)
