Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 98 Only Crab Steps Can Sanction Crab Steps!

"The one who is playing now is the talented Tanhua from Ohio State, the best player of the Eastern Conference in the fourth week of this season, No.46, Wu~Di!"

The DJ shouted with all his strength, coupled with the overwhelming cheers from the fans, Wu Di almost drifted away.

"Good guy, that was definitely a sugar-coated cannonball just now!"

On the sidelines, Scott thought at first that the fans were really conquered by Wu Di, but after seeing their almost crazy calls for the home team players, he also saw what the league's top loyal fans look like.

After all, it was the home of the legendary Allen Iverson. Philadelphia fans have a special affection for the name AI, even if there is a 2 behind it.

Wu Di looked towards the sidelines, and the two sideline seats where Megan and Amanda were supposed to sit were still vacant, obviously something unexpected happened.

But it's not a big problem. Just based on the overwhelming cheers just now, Wu Di felt that the fans of the 76ers deserved a burst of opening.

So, 76 seconds before the 0.2ers' slender center, Spencer Hawes put the ball in the hands of Zhu Holiday, Wu Di appeared!
Snapped!
Wu Di, who broke the ball, went straight to the basket. Elton Brand, the "captain" of the 76ers' No. 4 position closest to the basket, saw this and rushed over in a luxury speedboat!
Wu Di was facing the bow of the ship without slowing down, and just a second before the impact, he was caught in a silky-smooth blowing ball and turned around. Brand and his luxury speedboat instantly turned into the background board!

Amidst the exclamation of the fans, Wu Di made three steps and made two steps, straight into the penalty area, and jumped up like stepping on a spring with his feet, rounding his arms, and was about to buckle with a battle axe!
Iguodala came late, he gritted his molars and took a step across the free throw line, and 0.1 seconds before the missed shot window period, he rushed fiercely to chase the shot!

That bounce, that pose, that expression, even that stubble...

I really want people to say, Grooving looks even better than Brownie!
If it weren't for the age mismatch, he would know that he is Lao Zhan's illegitimate son without a DNA test!
But it's useless, even Lao Zhan himself can't beat Wu Di today, because the flying badge has already lit up in his mind!

Ability to stay in the air +40%, layup ability +20%!

A prehistoric force was injected into Wu Di's waist in an instant, and the next moment, the tomahawk-style buckle turned into a fancy pull rod!
2-0!

Iguodala jumped into the air, but because he jumped too high and jumped too hard, he passed Wu Di in the air and hit the backboard with his face!
But fortunately, his upper body strength is very strong, and the right hand that blocked the shot in the air pressed the backboard to get his body back upright so he didn't fall down.

"Damn, almost!"

Iguodala looked at Wu Di with a depressed face, but found that Wu Di looked at him even more depressed.

"Anyway, the FMVP of the previous life! I didn't expect you to be so worthless now!"

He tried his best just now, and the goal he scored after activating the flying mode, the system only rewarded him [-] dollars, which is only [-] dollars a point...

"Tsk tsk tsk, this kid has a herniated disc at a young age!"

Following the DJ's taunt, the fans at the scene tore off their disguise and began to boo Wu Di!

On the court, the players of the 76ers also stared at Wu Di.

With that ball just now, Wu Di directly slapped their three main players in the face!

Don't say anything, just do it!

On the sidelines, 76ers head coach Doug Collins put his hands in his pockets. Not only did he not yell at the court, he didn't even look panicked at all.

Before the game, he put a lot of effort into studying the current lineup of the Cavaliers, and then proposed a three-axe style of play, which the Cavaliers couldn't hold back at all!

Sure enough, after a while, the 76ers' starting shooting guard Jody Meeks found the right opportunity, used Captain Brand's broad body to trap Gibson, caught the ball at the three-point line in the bottom corner, and shot!
2-3!

The first ax worked!

Although the 76ers don't have super giants on the court, they win in a balanced configuration in each position.

Like Meeks, who averaged 39.7% of his [-]-point field goal attempts last season. His height and speed are both better than Gibson's. First of all, he became a serious problem for the Cavaliers!
The corner of Collins' mouth raised. Everyone said that he can only defend, hehe, can only defense bring out Jordan and Pippen?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously yelled at the 76ers players who returned to defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Wu Di came to the top of the arc to catch the ball, and instantly felt the defensive oppression brought by the first brother.

It's impossible not to feel oppressed, the big black hand is almost covering his eyes!

The rule of violating the cylinder has not yet come out, and the current NBA does not play eye-blocking defense at all.

In fact, Wu Di also experienced it in the NCAA before, but at that time he had a physical advantage, and he played off the ball most of the time, so he was quite easy to crack.

But now suddenly, he really felt a little drummed in his heart, and he called out a corner support tactic to Jordan.

Jordan came to the left high elbow to catch the ball. The next moment, Jamison, who was originally on the left wing, stuck his body and rushed to the bottom corner, while Davis went to the basket from the right wing to kill!

If this tactic runs well, both of them have a chance to directly cause damage!
And after the ball is passed to Davis, if it can attract double-teams, Davis can immediately pass it to Wu Di or Gibson who is waiting for an opportunity in the corner on the other side!
However, the captain Brand and the pigman Holiday are as impenetrable as brown sugar, and they didn't let the chance go...

Seeing this, Wu Di faltered, and ran to the flank to catch the ball. Almost at the same time, the big black hand stretched out to his face again!
"You are like my hand-shaped sunglasses!"

With 24 seconds left in the attack, Wu Di instinctively took a cross step and carried Iguodala on his back to the basket!
When he came to the free throw line, he turned around and hit it. No wonder he can defend Lao Zhan. His upper body strength is much stronger than him!
He turned over with difficulty, but the impact just now made him unstable, and the flying badge did not light up in his mind.

In the air, at this angle, it is too difficult for him to pass to Jordan, so he can only face Iguodala's block and forcefully lean back and shoot!
boom!
Iron!

He slid out and watched the rebound being snatched by Captain Brand, and instantly felt Corvo's helplessness!
On the next goal, Juholidi singled Davis to create space, passed to Meeks and scored two points.

2-5!

"Today the Cavaliers are going to be tough. With the 76ers lineup, everyone has a strong individual defensive ability! The Cavaliers are not afraid of your strong offensive firepower, but they are afraid of your strong defense. Last time they played against the Grizzlies, how difficult it was to win! "

In the sports live broadcast room, the commentator Wang Meng analyzed with his mouth crooked.

"Yes, the defense of the 76ers is different from that of the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies' black and white bears are experts in defending the inside line. The 76ers' defense and strikers are experts! Especially Iguodala at the 3rd position, the famous Kobe killer! Anyway, Director Zhang is not here today, so let’s talk more, haha! According to statistics, Kobe averaged only 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game against Iguodala, among which there were also 11 of 3 and 15 of 6 , 27 out of 7 games with such an ultra-low shooting percentage..."

Another commentator, Su Qun, took the remark and laughed.

The audience in the live broadcast room was blown up when they heard the words:
"It's over. Wu Huang's playing style is very similar to Kobe's. Wouldn't it be restricted to say so?"

"Way day, what should I do, I put all the tiger coins on!"

"This hand almost hit the eye, and the referee didn't care about it. How blind!"

"Hehe, I've figured it out a long time ago. Wu Di can only bully players who are weaker than him. When he meets a muscular man like Yi Ge, he will basically give up! So when he meets the fiercer Zhan Huang later, he will probably only bully players who are weaker than him. Death is even worse!"

"Haha, that's not true. Emperor Zhan's strength is not covered. His biceps look bigger than a steamed bun! Xiao Wu should buy insurance when the time comes, so he won't be trapped to death!"

"Riding fans regret it, Stud who was still swearing so much last night, look, he got slapped in the face!"

"Wu Di is far behind Kobe. Whether it's defense or offensive organization, Wu Di is far behind. It's normal to be restricted now!"

……

On the court, facing the high-pressure defense of the 76ers, all the Cavaliers turned into blacksmiths. The magic ball system they are proud of only has the only way to get into the penalty area.

However, the overall height of the 76ers is better than that of the Cavaliers. Coupled with the influence of back-to-back, it is obviously more difficult for the Cavaliers to hit the basket.

And this kind of positional battle rhythm is obviously more beneficial to the 76ers. Even if Wu Di made another dunk that could score the top ten goals of the week, it still failed to raise the Cavaliers' mental strength...

The score of the two teams soon came to 10-16!

In desperation, Scott replaced Gibson with the better defensive Parker, sacrificing firepower to block the hole of Meeks first.

But the second of Collins's three-axes was quietly launched.

That is, the fine male center Hawes attracted the double-teaming of Jordan and Jamison in the high position, and then distributed the ball to the captain Brand to go inside and cause damage.

Hawes is 2 meters tall and has an incredible wingspan, but weighs only 16 kilograms, which is at least two circles thinner than Jordan.

Before his height exceeded 2 meters, Hawes had been playing point guard, so his skills in the center position were thinner than his stature.

He can complete the offense with both left and right hands, and can even shoot three-pointers, but Jordan has gradually developed his own defense against such a technical center, and his defensive efficiency is still good.

But the bad thing is, this guy is really too thin!

Can always sell flaws to Jamison, making Jamison mistakenly think that he can steal the ball or interfere, and as a result, he shows off a delicate pass to captain Brand.

The point difference quickly widened to 10 points, Jamison suffered two boring losses, but the bearded Davis was even more angry than him!
The grievance between Davis and Brand is very deep. That year, he had just led the Golden State gang to create a miracle in the Black Eight, and Brand invited him to come to the Clippers to create brilliance together.

In the end, when he really cut his salary, Brand, the captain, didn't even want the boat for a little salary, and went to the 76ers...

The peak period was wasted like this. If it weren't for the height and strength, Davis would have wanted to switch defenses with Jamison!

Unexpectedly, Davis, a good old man of the team, would have such a deep grudge with Brand in the past...

Everyone was aggrieved, and suddenly found an outlet, and found Brand to start working hard.

Jamison tried his best to chase Brand closely, and Wu Di even found the right opportunity to misplace and reward him with a hot pot meal!
For a while, Collins seemed to have cut himself with the second axe. At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 18-22.

Wu Di scored 9 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, and once again put the team on his shoulders.

Although he can definitely slap Iguodala's trash talk in the face if he continues to fight like this, the result of the game is not optimistic...

"You have to find a way to destroy the rhythm of the 76ers. Their rhythm is too stable, and we will not be able to handle this kind of fight sooner or later!"

During the intermission, Scott pulled Wu Di and said in a deep voice.

Wu Di nodded. They only relied on Davis to break out a little at the end of the festival, but this is not the way, Davis himself will have to end immediately...

"We played back-to-back this time, and it's very difficult to continue our physical strength after the game. If we can't make a comeback in the third quarter, the pressure in the fourth quarter will be too great!"

Scott said again, Wu Di felt dizzy after hearing that.

But Wu Di quickly realized that when Scott really encountered a big problem, he often didn't say a word, but when he encountered a problem that he could solve, he would exaggerate how serious the problem was!

"Coach, do you have any tricks?"

Sure enough, Scott heard him say this, pretending to be profound:
"The reason why the 76ers players can adapt to our fast start is inseparable from their tall, fast physical talents! If nothing else, the old ghost of Collins will be replaced by two players who are more than two meters tall. After all, in his opinion, our outside line has misfired, and it will be time to shrink the penalty area and clean us up later!"

Scott paused and continued:
"However, this old dog's thinking is outdated. He doesn't know that you have developed a double step back. The acceleration of a tall player is already the limit of talent, but the sudden deceleration is too difficult and easy to get injured! The rhythm is not only fast and slow. , and the rhythm of slowing down suddenly, this move of yours, if used well, is fatal!"

Wu Di's eyes lit up in an instant. Scott is worthy of being a coach with a star background, and his analysis of rhythm hits the nail on the head!

The 76ers can play both fast and slow rhythms, but they may not be able to adapt to the sudden slow rhythm.

He also tried to speed up with variations just now, but in the case of insufficient explosive power, the success rate of opening up space is not high.

It's a good idea to slow down the variation. He made several shots and hit them with emergency stop jumpers.

But it's not enough, the double retreat step of variation deceleration and deceleration may be the answer...

However, there is a reason why he didn't use double retreat before. The 012 walking rule was only released last year, and it is still in controversy. If he uses it, there will definitely be a lot of noise on the Internet.

Especially those Zhan Mis, it must be said that he walks and crabs, even if the double retreat is completely in line with 012...

"It doesn't matter, only the crab step can punish the crab step!"

Wu Di smiled and shook his head. He had already made a decision, and he just waited to watch Iguodala's wonderful expression next.

10 seconds before the start of the second quarter, Davis volunteered and asked to stay on the court.

All the members of the Cavaliers were immediately refreshed. If Davis can keep up with his physical strength, he will definitely be at the level of a superstar!
However, as soon as they played, they were a little dumbfounded, because Collins replaced the "Big Five" lineup!
Point guard Holiday was replaced by Turner at 2 meters, and shooting guard Meeks was replaced by Thaddeus Young at 01 meters...

Iguodala at 1 meters turned out to be the shortest person on the field for the 98ers...

That's right, this is Collins' third axe!

The fans in the Wachovia Center arena were very satisfied with this lineup, and the cheers from the fans nearly knocked the roof off, as if the victory had been won by them!
