Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

At the beginning of the second quarter of the practice match, Wu Dao showed everyone what it means to be a super scorer.

The strong defensive ability, high fighting spirit when facing the opponent's attack on the basket, and the almost unsolvable offensive skills displayed on the offensive end, the ability displayed by Wu Dao immediately captured the team owner Glenn Taylor.

The game continued. Although the players of the green team were surprised by Wu Dao's personal ability, they were not intimidated by him.Even if they are scraps from the NBA, they are still some of the best players in the world. What scenes have they not seen before?
Although fighting spirit has declined, with the encouragement of Tom Gugliotta, the green team still played a fairly smooth offense.

Through good conduction and pick-and-rolls, outside defender Terry Porter got an opportunity to shoot in the open and hit a three-pointer with a steady rate, successfully stopping the team's bleeding.

Terry Porter is also a middle-level player in the league. He started playing in the NBA in 85 and played until 02, with a career that lasted 17 years.

In the early 90s, when he was still with the Trail Blazers, he averaged 17+ per game for five consecutive seasons.

Underestimate him?That really makes no sense.

That is to say, Terry Porter was seriously injured and became a bench player after his efficiency dropped. But even so, his playing time was basically more than 20 minutes.

Compared with him, Jerome Allen, who has a career length of only two years on the white team of Martial Arts, is not worse than 01:30.

The opponent gave up a three-pointer, not because the opponent's offense was so good, but simply because Jerome Allen missed someone.

In this regard, Wu Dao didn't say much and ran towards the frontcourt without saying a word.

Kristen Laettner took good care of the newcomer. After saying a few words, he walked to the baseline and delivered the ball.

Among NBA teams, the so-called brotherhood of teammates is really just a matter of listening.Kristen Laettner, who did not criticize Jerome Allen for his mistakes but said a few innocuous words, is already a very good senior.

If a player like Jerome Allen, who doesn't have such a strong fighting spirit, meets a senior like Jordan, he probably won't even think about playing in the game after training with the team for a few days.

Jerome Allen took the ball in the backcourt and started to advance with the ball. It seemed that he was grateful for Christian Laettner's kindness. After entering the frontcourt, he found an opportunity and lobbed the ball to Christian in the inside position. · Lightner.

Tom Gugliotta was originally positioned closer to the inside. When he saw Christian Laettner taking the ball and starting to play Andrew Long with his back, he quickly double-teamed him.

Laettner did not choose to advance when faced with a double team, but gave the ball to Mark Davis, who was in the open. The latter took the ball and shot from mid-range.

As a result, the basketball collapsed out of the basket, and Andrew Long, who was in a better position, got the backcourt rebound.

Wu Dao glanced at Mark Davis who missed the shot, and then immediately aimed at Terry Porter who rushed across the frontcourt. When Andrew Long passed the ball, Wu Dao had already quickly reached Terry Porter. Behind him, he leaped high and took the ball directly into his arms near the midline.

Wu Dao jumps very high, and Andrew Long has actually noticed Wu Dao's movements. The reason why he still passes it on is because he thinks Wu Dao can't get it, but he still underestimates Wu Dao's bounce.

With the basketball in his hands, Wu Dao no longer had any intention of throwing the ball. He looked back at Terry Porter who returned to the court and took the ball to the corner on the right.

Terry Porter wanted to take one from behind Budao, but when he saw that Budao actually paid attention to his position after stealing the ball, he immediately gave up the idea and went directly to defend Jerome Allen.

"What a talent!"

On the sidelines of the court, seeing Martial Arts intercepting a basketball that no one else could intercept, Glenn Taylor couldn't help but admire him, his eyes burning.

Phillip Sanders, who was always observing the boss's every move, heard this with a smile on his face. He knew that martial arts had officially entered the boss's sight. In the future, as long as he found a way to bring martial arts to the team, he As a new team manager, your career path will become very smooth!

In the court, Wu Dao took the ball and quickly approached the three-point line. When he was still nearly one meter away from the NBA three-point line, Wu Dao dribbled the ball behind his hips and shifted his body when he switched the ball to his right hand. Suddenly, he dribbles with his right hand, seemingly preparing for a breakthrough.

Garnett sank when he saw this, but in the next second, Wu Dao suddenly joined the ball and made a direct three-pointer.

"A shot from so far away?!"

Seeing the shooting position of Wu Dao's three-pointer, Garnett was surprised and only raised his hand to block it symbolically. He didn't think Wu Dao could make a shot like this.

However, when Garnett turned back to look at the basket, he found that the basketball quickly fell into the net, making a crisp sound.

"."

Garnett looked at the basketball falling from the net and was speechless for a while.Wu Dao maintained his shooting posture with a calm expression. He took two steps back and then turned around and started to defend.

Wu Dao is very talented in shooting, and his three-point shooting ability has also reached an excellent level due to his years of training.

When he is about one or two meters away from the three-point line, he has "full coverage" shooting ability. This is one of the biggest weapons in martial arts!

However, Wu Dao is not complacent and neglects training just because he has some talent. Wu Dao, who has seen truly epoch-making shooters, will never relax even a little bit when it comes to honing his shooting skills!

You may not believe it, but a well-known elementary school student can shoot three or four meters away from the three-point line during the game, and can even make a shot. On the court, the logo shot can become a weapon.

During training, I also played cross-court shooting, and I got 3 out of 3 shots.
If you compare the training videos of that primary school student and that of a certain "only goat", you will find that the goat is really rough.
"Ohhhh~~~" On the side of the court, the Timberwolves players watching the game immediately let out a cry when they saw Wu Dao return a three-pointer.

It’s none of my business~
The players on the court now, whether they are teammates who have been overshadowed by martial arts, or opponents who have been beaten violently and cannot guard against martial arts, are actually quite embarrassed.

After all, a group of NBA players are worse than high school students. If you say this, wouldn't it be a joke?

The players watching the football from the sidelines are also the ones who like to watch the excitement and commotion. Anyway, they are not the ones who are embarrassed. They can also laugh at their teammates by cheering for martial arts.

Big pull-up, a three-point pull-up that is still one meter away from the three-point line.In the second quarter of martial arts, the state is still hot.

In the following games, Jerome Allen also began to "take care of" Wu Dao. While mainly feeding the ball to Christian Laettner, he also missed a few balls to Wu Dao.

And Wu Dao seemed to know the defensive strategy of the green team, or he wanted to play more relaxedly. In short, Wu Dao began to make fewer breakthroughs, and more often used running to create space for himself, and then shot three-pointers from the outside. .

Throughout the second quarter, Wu Dao made 6 of 4 three-pointers and scored 12 points, and scored 2 of 2 mid-range shots and scored 4 points.

Coupled with the pull rod at the beginning of the second quarter, Wu Dao alone accounted for half of the team's shots, scoring 18 points in a single quarter.The ultra-high scoring efficiency has attracted a lot of attention from both his teammates and opponents.

During the halftime break, everyone from the green team gathered together and discussed the defensive strategy in detail.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Garnett changed his defensive thinking and began to strengthen his defense against Wu Dao's off-ball state.

Garnett himself seemed to have no intention of conserving his physical strength to attack, and started a death spiral on martial arts.Under Garnett's pursuit, Wu Dao also began to increase the amount of exercise and move wildly.Originally, facing this kind of defense, one only needed an off-ball screen to easily avoid it, but after all, it was the first time for Wu Dao and his teammates to cooperate, and the quality of Mark Davis' several screens was very poor.

What's even more terrible is that after Jerome Allen saw the tight defense of Budao, he simply didn't have the patience to wait for Budao to run empty, but gave the ball to Christian Laettner inside early.There were several times where Wu Dao clearly had a chance to catch the ball, but Jerome Allen threw the ball without even looking at Wu Dao.

From his point of view, his task seems to be just passing the ball.

Fortunately, Christian Lightner's fighting ability is very good, at least better than his opponent, and the success rate is not bad.

Throughout the third quarter, Wu Dao's score was only in single digits, but he only had three rebounds.

After three quarters, Wu Dao scored 35 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

Garnett, who faced him, scored 6 points and 5 rebounds.

As a first-round pick, Garnett actually performed at such a level in practice matches. Normally, this is obviously impossible to be accepted by the management.

But at this time, several people sitting on the sidelines were quite satisfied with Garnett's performance.

Facing a strong scorer like Wu Dao, he was actually able to limit Wu Dao's points in a single quarter to single digits. His defense was already quite outstanding.

Originally, Glenn Taylor thought that martial arts could completely penetrate his opponent and achieve a feat of 50+ in a single game.

Now it seems unlikely.

Someone off the court was recording Wu Dao's scoring performance. During the break at the end of the third quarter, Garnett was shocked to learn that Wu Dao had scored 30+ points without knowing it.

In the fourth quarter, the defensive strength was once again strengthened and Wu Dao was determined not to let Wu Dao have a chance to catch the ball.Jerome Allen obviously noticed it, and by the fourth quarter, he completely gave up the idea of ​​passing the ball to Wu Dao.

Garnett seemed to not want Wu Dao's score to reach 40, and he defended very hard. The physical contact between the two was very frequent and very powerful. Garnett also made many small defensive moves. In this era, this is what every good defender does. They all have it, and the referee turned a blind eye to this level of confrontation.

Do you play body hair whistle or superstar whistle during training?

When you get to the arena, you must not be bombarded by your opponents?What is the basketball environment like these days?
The Timberwolves have no intention of messing up this year!They are going to the playoffs! !
Under Garnett's high-pressure defense, Wu Dao could only find opportunities to grab the ball by himself, thinking of getting inside to grab rebounds.

But the guys on the green team seem to hold the idea of ​​"the game can be lost, but high school students must die", and they all target Wu Dao. When Wu Dao wants to rush for rebounds, Andrew Long would rather let Christian Laettner get the ball. The location of Kawu Dao.

As a result, Wu Dao was just lucky enough to pick up a ball, and he scored two points on a fast break.

There is also a good opportunity, a fast break is timely, and an empty basket is made.

Apart from these four points, Wu Dao did not score any more points.

At the end of the game, Wu Dao's score was fixed at 39 points.

A high school student scored 39 points in a single game during a training match with NBA players. This is already a very shocking feat. However, after the game, Wu Dao still looked unhappy. In the second half of the game, he felt very uncomfortable.

However, Wu Dao's calm face also disappeared with Philip Sanders' greeting.Phillip Saunders introduced Kevin McHale and owner Glen Taylor to Budao. During the conversation with these two people, Budao heard that they liked him.

Glenn Taylor even happily invited Wu Dao to have dinner with him. Faced with the rich man's invitation, Wu Dao certainly had no intention of refusing.

Just kidding, he is a nobody now. He didn't even get into the first team at the ABCD training camp. He has no exposure at all. Compared with Kobe, the "number one high school student" who is famous in the United States, he can be ignored.

Now that an NBA team wants him, Wu Dao must seize the opportunity!

After the training match, Wu Dao started team training with other players. After the morning training, the team's training venue was no longer at the target center, but changed to the Timberwolves training almost 1000 meters away from the target center. base.

The Target Center is the competition venue. The Timberwolves only go to the Target Center for team training and games. Normally, individual player training and the like are conducted at the training base.

There is a canteen here, four or five courts in the arena, a gym and many other facilities.

The training in the afternoon is the individual training of the players.

The martial arts side does not have a "skills" trainer. Just kidding, he is here to visit the trial training after all. It would be good to have a nutritionist and physical coach to give pointers. Other assistants and trainers have no turn at all. Martial arts.

However, martial arts was still allocated a half-court, allowing martial arts to be practiced on its own.

Wu Dao was not idle either. He started practicing three-point shooting from five corners during the half.

The training method is very simple. Three-pointers from the top of the arc. After shooting, run to the basket, dribble to the right foot and shoot a three-pointer. Pick up the ball. Go to the left foot to shoot a three-pointer. Pick up the ball. Three from the right corner. Point, pick up the ball, and make a three-pointer from the left corner.

The cycle goes back and forth, usually with a group of twenty balls.

High-frequency, different-point shooting can cultivate martial arts shooting ability, and the process of dribbling the ball to the position also simulates the process of changing from movement to stillness.

Martial arts shooting is not necessarily fixed-point. Before shooting, some dribbling movements will be combined.

Therefore, when the martial arts begins its own training, you can hear the sound of "swishing" from time to time during the half of the martial arts.

Wu Dao's shooting percentage was much higher during training than during games. He had only practiced half a set. Jerome Allen was training in the court next door, as well as Terry Porter and Spot Webber who were training together. All the defenders stopped their training in unison and looked towards the martial arts half.

"Is this how this high school student practices three-pointers?"

"."

The Timberwolves guards watched the martial arts training with mixed emotions for a moment.

Coach Bill and Phillip Saunders, who had not yet left, and other management who were observing the training also noticed the martial arts side and looked sideways at the martial arts.

Under people's gaze, Wu Dao took the trouble to shoot baskets, a group of three-pointers and a group of mid-range shots, mixed with non-stop practice.

He feels he has some talent in martial arts, but his self-discipline is the weapon he relies on to survive.
