Chapter 59 The problem is very serious

[The second update, there will be a third update later. As for the fourth update, there are only 18 votes left to recommend it now. Come on, it will be very soon. In addition, this is a necessary excessive plot, so don’t complain about the abuse of the master like last time.]

In the game against the 76ers, Jonny was actually defended by Jerry Starkhouse. You know, although Jerry Starkhouse has a good defense, he is not a defensive player. He is still somewhat defensive than Doug Christie who Jonny had met before.

That's it, Jonny was still defended. It is worth mentioning that after the game, Jerry Starkhouse proudly shared his experience in defending Jonny with everyone.

"Yeah, that's right, I defended Jonny. In fact, it's very simple to say, it's just to stop him from attacking. In professional terms, it's hand-check. I defended him with hand-check." Facing the reporter in front of me, Jerry Starkhouse was very excited to introduce his experience. Jerry Starkhouse was still very proud of being able to defend Jonny and defend this super scorer currently in the second place in the scoring list.

Jerry Starkhouse's words also attracted the attention of those interested, and Cleveland Cavaliers' head coach Mike Flatro noticed this: "Do you use hand-check? It seems that we can win in the next game!"

Mike Flatero instantly gained confidence in the next game, but he also knew that not all players could defend Jonny. At least Bob Sulla, a full-time defender in the Cavaliers, could not defend. Mike Flatero felt that he had to find a physical man, so his eyes were on the team's starting shooting guard Bobby Fils.

On November 30, the Magic were held in Cleveland in the last game in November. Quick Loan Stadium welcomed Jonny who wanted to end his bad form. In the last game, he only scored 7 points and made only 4 of 14 shots. Such a bad state gave Brian Hill a little intention to get him off the starter, but Brian Hill also knew that it was just a game in poor form, so Brian Hill still held back, and Jonny was still in the starting position.

"The game has begun. Jonny Ri, who had a very brilliant data before, suffered a Waterloo in the last game, and he was defended by Jerry Starkhouse. This game was a good opportunity for him to prove himself, although their opponent was the famous defensive team, the Cavaliers." said NBC commentator Mav Albert of the game.

"Yes, Jonny urgently needs to prove himself, because Jerry Starkhouse claims that he has found a way to deal with Jonny and has also shared his way. Perhaps in this game we can see the Cleveland Cavaliers use that method to deal with Jonny. If Jonny wants to prove himself and prove that he was defended by Jerry Starkhouse just because of an accident, I think he should play his full strength in this game." Marty Grickman, a partner of Mavs Albert, also said.

When the game started, Jonny, who was ambitious to prove that he was defended by Jerry Starkhouse in the last game, was just an accident, and fell into a difficult situation again. Mike Flatero did make changes to Jonny. Bobby Pheles, who was the second Cavaliers' offensive player, put out almost all his energy to limit Jonny's offense on the defensive end.

Joni's first offense was inaccurate, although Bobby Philes was not familiar with the way to defend Joni at this time.

Immediately afterwards, when Bobby Philes gradually found a way to defend Jonny, Jonny tragically found that he could only float outside and shoot. He could no longer use the European step he was very good at and was the main scoring method.

The result is that before the first quarter ended, Joni, who was already 1 of 5 shots, was replaced by Brian Hill. In the rest of the game, Joni did not get any playing time. Nick Anderson and Gerard Wilkins shared the remaining playing time.

For Joni, the problem is serious now. He may lose the starting position he finally got, and may even become the third choice for the team's shooting guard position.

After this game, although the Cavaliers did not win the game, Mike Flatero's face was still full of smiles. Because his experiment was successful, Joni was indeed defended by him. For the Cavaliers, their goal is the playoffs, and the Magic are likely to be their opponents. Therefore, being able to find the weaknesses of opponent players is more important for Mike Flatero than a win in a regular season game.

However, Joni will not study Mike Flatro's expressions. He will only study the expressions of Brian Hill, Nick Anderson and Gerard Wilkins if he wants to study them.

Bryan Hill's expression is really impossible to see. In fact, Bryan Hill has always been like this. He always has no expression on his face. However, at this time, Bryan Hill is already planning when not to let Jonny start. Whether it is the next game or the next game, Bryan Hill is no longer in a hurry. He feels that judging from Jonny's situation in these two games, Jonny is not far from losing his current job.

If Joni knew this, he would be very angry and would fight Brian Hill, because he would not have thought that his head coach would always think about his bad things.

Nick Anderson was also excited. The current situation can be seen by fools. Joni is already in trouble, and this trouble may be something that Joni can never solve. Nick Anderson feels that it is only a matter of time before he gets back his starting position. And the excited Nick Anderson did not try his best to match Joni in the next day's in-team training match like in the previous few team training matches, because he knew that his current opponent was no longer Joni, but Gerald Wilkins. What he needs to do more now is to accumulate strength and then prove himself in the official game.

Mike Flatero can learn the method shared by Jerry Starkhouse, and the Mavericks' head coach Jim Clemens can do it, in Jim Clemens' words before the game: "This is not difficult, isn't it just hand-check?"

At this time, Jonny might have felt a feeling that everyone has betrayed him, as if he is being targeted by the whole world. Jonny's current state has also made several players on the team who are good to him anxious. Darrell Armstrong and Amal McCasgill kept comforting Jonny, hoping that Jonny could cheer up.

And Anfini Hardaway always comes to Jonny every now and then: "What's going on with you lately? You can't be so simple to be blocked, right?"
