Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Duncan.

He has been a high-profile player since entering the league. Even at the beginning of entering the league, he caused many NBA teams to fail.Throughout the entire history of the NBA, there are very few that can trigger such an "earthquake."

And unlike other NBA rookies, Duncan is an extremely "mature" rookie. In his first season in the league, he averaged impressive figures of 21 points and 12 rebounds per game.

Opponents of Duncan's level even surpass a considerable number of "famous players" in the NBA today.

With the basketball in hand, Wu Dao looked at Duncan in front of him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.After a quick hip dribble, Budo grabbed the ball with one hand and threw the ball directly away from Duncan's side.

The basketball was moving very fast, and Duncan felt a red shadow pass before his eyes. When he turned around, the basketball had already fallen into the hands of Garnett, who was down low.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, Garnett faced the Spurs' Chuck Parsons and directly hit the ball with his back. After a strong impact, he sank directly into the basket and then turned sideways to grab the ball with his left hand. He pushed it out against the basket.

Garnett's movements were quite smooth and very fast. Chuck Parson only raised his hand symbolically and could only watch the basketball go into the net.

Cheers rang from the stands, and the audience was extremely excited when they saw the scoreboard beating.

Wu Dao saw Garnett talking trash to Chuck Parson excitedly, with a smile on his face. He glanced at Duncan and quickly turned around to defend.

"Well"

"This new guy."

On the sidelines of the court, seeing Wu Dao's handling of the ball, Spurs head coach Popovich also murmured in surprise.

Today's game can be said to have attracted the attention of the whole country. At the very least, the vast majority of NBA fans will pay attention.

Before the game, the media did quite a lot of stunts. On the one hand, they were talking about the "strongest No. 4 matchup" and on the other hand, they were talking about the "strongest rookie" matchup.

This kind of reputation has long attracted a lot of people's attention.

Regarding this point, Popovich also believes that martial arts himself is very clear.

Now the game has reached the most critical period, and Wu Dao is facing a controversial opponent. If it is an ordinary young person, it is impossible to pass the ball to others after getting the ball at this time.

After all, defeating Duncan to prove that he is the strongest newcomer is a temptation that no ordinary newcomer can refuse.

But the newcomer of the Timberwolves chose the most reasonable way of playing in this situation, which made Popovich feel a little stunned and surprised.

If Budo didn't play according to his script
So in this game, the Spurs may not have much chance.

Popovich knew clearly that there was no way Chuck Parson could stop Garnett.

"Hey, Martial Arts, you passed the ball very well."

"Wise choice!"

"Don't worry, after this game, I will definitely support you in front of the media!"

"Although you are afraid of confronting Duncan, there is no problem at all with your passing choices!"

The Timberwolves returned to the game, and Garnett said to Wu Dao with a smile on his face as he passed by Wu Dao.

Um.
It sounds like human words, but why does it feel a bit harsh in Martial Arts ears?

"I'm just giving you a chance to show off. I don't want you to be completely reduced to a supporting role."

"I want to get over Duncan, it's easy!"

Wu Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, curled his lips, and replied calmly.Hearing this, Garnett slowed down a little and suddenly said with a smile:
"No, actually you don't have to take care of me like this."

"If you can fight it yourself, you can fight it yourself."

"I still believe you!"

Garnett felt that Wu Dao was being harsh when he said this, so he smiled and took away the "step" of Wu Dao.

"is it?"

"I will satisfy you."

Wu Dao glanced at Garnett, and then focused on the Spurs players who started to advance.

The Spurs made very big adjustments on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, they have maintained their style of play in time.

Chuck Parson was given more expectations by Popovich, but unfortunately, Wu Dao has given up on assisting defense of inside players and focused all his attention on Chuck Parson in front of him. .

Under Budao's high-pressure defense, Chuck Parson simply couldn't get out of the open space.The Spurs' usual training basically revolves around David Robinson and Duncan. Popovich did not develop any special running tactical system for Chuck Parson.

The temporary rough coordination on the court was simply not enough to support Chuck Parson's quick-moving martial arts.

Helplessly, the Spurs began to choose to give the ball inside.

It was David Robinson who got the ball. The latter easily sat down when facing the defense of Cherokee Parks. After approaching the basket, he quickly turned around to face the frame and made a jump shot.

Cherokee Parks didn't follow David Robinson's movements and just raised his arms to interfere.

I don’t know if it was Cherokee Parks’ defense that had the effect, or David Robinson’s own crappy touch.In short, David Robinson's near-basket jump shot was actually inaccurate. The basketball fell out of the basket and Garnett took the rebound.

The attack failed and the Spurs retreated quickly.

Seeing the opportunity to continue to widen the point difference, the Timberwolves also suppressed the speed of the advance. After Marbury got the ball, he began to organize the team's offense in an orderly manner.

On the sidelines of the court, the audience held their breath and waited quietly for the Timberwolves to launch this attack.

The one who defends martial arts is still Duncan.

After seeing Wu Dao's previous attack, Marbury did not choose to hit hard by himself, and he had no intention of passing the ball to Wu Dao this time.

He had the same idea as Garnett. He felt that Wu Dao was a little afraid of the head-on confrontation with Duncan and chose to leave the opportunity to his teammates.

Such thoughts passed through his mind quickly, and Marbury gave the ball to Tom on the side. After releasing the ball, he quickly cut towards the basket.

However, Avery Johnson followed closely. Marbury, who cut from the air, wandered around inside and quickly moved along the baseline toward the three-point line in the bottom corner.

At the same time, Tom also quickly dropped the ball and rushed in. After accelerating to give his opponent some physical confrontation, he quickly stopped, shook the opponent's center of gravity, and then accelerated again, heading towards the paint area.

I have to say that Tom is worthy of being an "All-Star Substitute" level player.At the critical moment of the game, the most lethal offensive defense was chosen.

Facing Tom who entered the paint area, Robinson also quickly covered up the defense.

Faced with Robinson's defense, Tom was not afraid at all. After combining the ball, he directly faced the defense and shot a high throw.The basketball passed David Robinson's fingertips, hit the backboard and then bounced into the basket.

As the sound of the basketball hitting the net rang out, warm cheers erupted from the stands.

89:82, the Timberwolves re-established their advantage in just a few minutes after Wu Dao came on the field.

In the next few minutes, the Timberwolves and Spurs had offensive and defensive interactions with each other.

The Spurs were not very efficient in the final quarter. Robinson's cold touch showed no sign of recovery until the end of the fourth quarter of the game.

Compared with the Spurs, the Timberwolves played very smoothly. Garnett, Tom, and Marbury all scored after the Spurs made defensive adjustments.

The score between the Timberwolves and the Spurs also reached 96:86.

The score difference reached ten points, and there was less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

The Spurs did not give up hope of victory. In this offensive round, David Robinson forced his way inside and dunked directly over Cherokee Parks' head. While scoring successfully, he also seduced the opponent. Cherokee Parks fouled and got a free throw opportunity.

As David Robinson steadily sent the serve into the basket, the point difference between the two teams was reduced to 7 points.

"Almost." Wu Dao glanced at the scoreboard and the little time left, murmured in his heart, and made a decision immediately.

As the Timberwolves began to organize the offense and entered the frontcourt, Marbury saw Wu Dao, who had not actively asked for the ball for a long time, reaching out to him.

Without too much hesitation, Marbury chose to pass the ball when facing Wu Dao who took the initiative to ask for the ball.

"Snapped!"

As the basketball came into play, the stands immediately became quiet when they saw Wu Dao taking the ball.David Robinson's two-and-one dunk just now had some impact on Timberwolves fans.

Today's fans are eager to see the team they support give their opponents a tough response.

As soon as he got the basketball, Wu Dao didn't make any extra moves at all. He raised his hand and pulled it out directly. With Duncan's stunned look on his face, the basketball flew directly over his head.

"Is that the vote?"

Duncan couldn't help but murmur, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but rush towards the basket, trying to grab the rebound.

"clang!"

With a soft sound, the basketball hit the edge of the basket and bounced out. Wu Dao's three-pointer was missed.

But fortunately, Garnett seemed to have expected it, and in the confrontation with Chuck Parson, he had already seized the best rebound spot.

As the basketball fell, Garnett was directly flanked by Duncan and Chuck Parsons and grabbed the rebound.

Along the way, Duncan and Chuck Parson surrounded Garnett, raising their arms to prevent Garnett from getting stronger.

The battle under the basket is quite fierce, and everyone knows about basketball in this era.

Even "college student" Duncan performed very tough on the defensive end. He and Chuck Parson used their chests to squeeze Garnett's space, and at the same time they also made quick moves to interfere with Garnett's ball handling.

"What are you doing holding the ball?"

"Pass the ball!"

At this moment, the voice of Martial Arts reached Garnett's ears. Although the latter could not see the position of Martial Arts under the attack of two defensive players, Garnett still sent the ball through the gap and headed towards It spread in the direction from which the sound came.

Duncan saw the basketball fly out from his waist, quickly turned his head and saw Wu Dao standing in the bottom corner, reaching out and holding the basketball in his hand.

Without any hesitation, Duncan rushed towards Wu Dao and pounced directly on Wu Dao about one meter away from Wu Dao when he raised the ball.

"Snapped!"

Duncan took off and tried to block the shot, but Wu Dao suddenly collected the ball. The explosive ball moved a big step laterally and directly dodged the flying Duncan, then smoothly lifted the ball and threw the basketball.

Another three points.

But this time, there were no accidents. The basketball went directly through the screen and made a crisp sound.

"ohhhh—"

Cheers poured into the stadium, and as the scoreboard jumped, the point difference between the two teams returned to 10 points.

"First grader, can you be more stable?"

"If I hadn't grabbed the rebound, would we have lost the point?"

Garnett was a little proud after grabbing the offensive rebound. When he returned to defense, he happily "taught" martial arts lessons.

"Is my shot shaky?"

"Would you like to hear what you're saying?"

"I'm giving you a chance to brush things off, so don't be ungrateful, Kevin!"

Wu Dao's words also made Garnett unable to find an angle to refute for a while.To be honest, if even martial arts' shooting is not stable, Garnett may not be able to find any player with stable shooting.

Garnett has a bad mouth, but he also understands football.

Of course, it is impossible to shut up Garnett just like this.

"You always have an excuse."

"If you can, just blow up that square face!"

"If you beat him up, I will obey you!"

The square face in Garnett's mouth refers to Duncan.

To be honest, Duncan really doesn't have a good face, and Garnett's words are somewhat based on personal bias.

"That's what I was about to do."

"It would be boring if the game entered garbage time early, but it's just right now!"

Wu Dao nodded and responded, and then looked at the Spurs and others who were running towards the Timberwolves half court.

In this round, Duncan actually used the high post to set a pick-and-roll for Chuck Parson. After delaying Wu Dao's pursuit, Chuck Parson was able to bypass Wu Dao's pursuit and rush towards the opponent holding the ball at the top of the arc. .

The pass was passed from hand to hand. After receiving the basketball, Chuck Parson quickly paused and then took a three-point shot from the outside.

This was the first time the Spurs had this kind of offensive coordination in this game. There were some mistakes in the defensive rotation coordination of Wu Dao, Garnett, and Marbury, which allowed Chuck Parson to name Marbury. Chance.

Fortunately, Chuck Parson's shot did not go in. The basketball hit the edge of the basket and fell outside.

Under the basket, David Robinson flew past Cherokee Parks and scored with an easy dunk.

The defense failed, but the Timberwolves did not dwell on the goal and slowly organized a counterattack.

They have a lead and an advantage in the score, so there is no need to speed up their offensive pace.

Although the Spurs tried to double-team the Timberwolves, Marbury was able to break through easily in the face of Avery Johnson's pressing defense.

After quickly entering the frontcourt, Marbury saw Wu Dao who wanted the ball again. After suppressing the attack time, he gave the ball to Wu Dao in the last 12 seconds.

As soon as he got the basketball, Wu Dao immediately took a tentative step by sweeping the ball. He took a long horizontal step, quickly retracted his feet, and feinted with the ball.

Duncan, who knew that martial arts had a strong three-point threat, also focused on it at this moment and raised his hands to block it.

But at the moment when Duncan raised his center of gravity, Wu Dao quickly started to dig his steps, turned sideways and directly pressed against Duncan's body, accelerating his advance.

"Oh!"

Wu Dao's power is so strong that even Duncan "fights and then retreats". Wu Dao pressed him several steps toward the three-point line before he could gain a foothold, which curbed Wu Dao's progress.

However, at this moment, Wu Dao, who was charging forward with the ball, suddenly turned away from the ball. Duncan reacted quickly and directly intercepted the ball with a sideways movement. At the same time, he also predicted the direction Wu Dao was going to drop the ball and prepared in advance.

However, Wu Dao's movements were quite strange. He was halfway through the turn and suddenly jumped slightly. He jumped backwards and suddenly faced the basket in mid-air. At the same time, he quickly raised the basketball in his hand over his head and threw it out.

"???"

The strange changes in rhythm and the large backward shots made Duncan's defense useless.

"Shh!"

As the basketball flew over Duncan's head and fell steadily into the basket, a soft sound reached Duncan's ears.

On the side of the stadium, after seeing this scene, the audience was briefly stunned and suddenly burst into amazing cheers.
