Chapter 36(1/2)

After defeating the Washington Bullets, the New York Hans will head to the West to begin the team's journey to the West.

November 15, American West Arena.

The New York Hans came to challenge the Phoenix Suns.

The Phoenix Suns are having a rough time this season.

The team lost two key players, power forward Charles Barkley and point guard Kevin Johnson.

Although they lost two players, the Phoenix Suns this season are still a strong team in the Western Conference, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

Paul Westphal was also troubled by the start of this game.

Because the opponent's head coach is none other than the legendary coach of the Phoenix Suns, Cotton Fitzsimmons.

This is not a simple person. After all, a person who can win the title of "Best Coach" has an incredible coaching ability.

Paul Westphal still arranged to focus on fast speed and "bombing".

There have also been some changes in the starting lineup, with all the backcourt players replaced by young people.

With Jason Kidd as the point guard and Aaron McGee as the shooting guard, Aaron McGee made his first start this season.

The Phoenix Suns are not doing so well.

Wayman Tisdale is the center, E.S. Green is the power forward, Dan Marley is the small forward, Danny Ainge is the shooting guard, and Wesley Persson is the point guard.

This lineup is no worse than the New York Hans.

After the game started, the New York Hans firmly controlled the situation. Facing the youth storm that was blowing up, the Phoenix Suns really didn't have much power to parry.

Although the main players can hold on to the score, the gap in the substitute lineup is too obvious.

In the end, the Phoenix Suns lost the game 98:93.



After winning the first game of the Western Conference road trip, the team was not happy for long, and then lost to the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs by big scores.

The reason for the consecutive losses is simple. The two teams have one of the four major centers inside.

Although Alonzo Mourning was not much weaker, he was still beaten when facing Dameng and the Admiral.

I really can't beat it.

Fortunately, the team won against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Barely stabilized.

But the New York Hans will face Paul Allen's Seattle SuperSonics in their last away game.

As a "brother" team, there is no need to say that the two teams have a close relationship, but they still have to fight to the death on the court.

Paul Allen also made the rare decision to go to Key Arena to watch this game.

In fact, it’s not like the Seattle SuperSonics have never played against the New York Hans.

The main reason is that the New York Hans were too weak in the first two seasons, and the Seattle SuperSonics completely crushed their opponents.

However, the New York Hans are obviously much stronger this season. Facing the Seattle SuperSonics, whose strength has obviously declined, they have the lead!

November 22, Key Arena.

This game is still eye-catching.

Even China's CCTV broadcast the entire match live, after all, there were Chinese players on both teams.

The venue was packed, and rich people and celebrities from all over the world came to the scene.

Paul Allen also personally invited his good friend Bill Gates to watch the game live.

After all, it is his "godson's" team. Especially since Bruce is currently away from the United States, Paul Allen is still paying more attention to the situation of the New York Hans.

Players from both sides enter the court.

It can be seen that both sides have fielded their strongest lineups.

First is the lineup of the home team Seattle SuperSonics.

The center is Dikembe Mutombo

Power forward is Sean Kemp

The small forward is Detlef Schrempf

Shooting guard is Mitch Richmond

The point guard is Gary Payton

Let’s take a look at the New York Hans’ lineup.

Center is Alonzo Mourning

Power forward is Otis Thorpe

Small forward is Jamal Mashburn

Shooting guard is Ron Harper

Point guard is Jason Kidd

That's right, Chinese players Hu Weidong and Gong Xiaobin from both sides are sitting on the bench.

Mourning and Uncle Mu are ready to jump the ball.

The referee blew the whistle and threw the ball high into the sky.

Uncle Mu has really long hands and quickly grabbed the ball.

The Seattle SuperSonics are on offense for the first time.

As soon as Payton got the ball, he advanced upfield.

Facing his old rival, Kidd also defended Payton closely at the right time.

Seeing that Payton couldn't get through, he passed the ball to Schrempf.

Schrempf made a jump shot directly in the penalty area, but it "bang" and missed.

Thorpe and Kemp are still in the blocking position grabbing rebounds.

In the end, the ball was grabbed by Kemp, who was slightly stronger, and Kemp dunked directly.

A huge cheer erupted in the Key Arena.

The Seattle SuperSonics are indeed powerful, but the New York Hans are not a vegetarian either.

In turn, Jamal Mashburn of the New York Hans directly hit a three-pointer.

The New York Hans lead 3:2.

Then the scores of both sides increased alternately.

After the first quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics led the New York Hans by 4 points at 33:29.

On the bench of the New York Hankins, Paul Westphal was still arranging tactics.

"At the beginning of the second quarter, Aaron led the bench and started bombarding you as soon as you came on."

"I request that the attack time should not exceed 14 seconds and try to get the score back. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Everyone shouted loudly.

On the other side, on the bench of the Seattle SuperSonics, head coach George Karl was also attacking the players against the New York Hans.

"In the second quarter, the New York Hans will definitely use bombardment tactics, but don't panic, bombardment tactics are not invincible."

"The bombardment mainly relies on the player's touch. If the touch is poor, the opponent will seize the opportunity to overtake."

This was all gained by George Karl through his many years of experience, and of course he also watched a lot of video tapes about the bombardment.

In the second quarter, both teams' substitutes came on.

The ball belongs to the New York Hans.

Point guard Armstrong, who came off the bench, did not hesitate and began to direct the team.

"Quick attack!"

Both Aaron and Kersey also rushed into the Seattle SuperSonics penalty area.

Armstrong made a wonderful pass, and the ball was passed to Corsi. Corsi passed the ball to Aaron, and Aaron caught the ball and shot.

"Whoosh!"

Mid-range jump shot, empty into the net.

The whole time passed in less than 10 seconds, which was too fast.

George Karl didn't panic. He scored once and it was impossible to be so accurate throughout the game.

McMillan is not a vegetarian when it comes to transitioning between offense and defense. He also slowly controls the ball into the opponent's frontcourt.

Then the ball was handed to Christie, who passed the ball to Russell, who was open, and the latter bounced the ball out of the frame.

Fortunately, Davis succeeded in making a supplementary shot.
