Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 580 How to deal with Spider-Man’s attack!

Wu Dao's jump shot after the breakthrough was very smooth. Minnesota's home fans were not surprised to see Wu Dao's goal and applauded one after another.

After scoring the goal, Wu Dao quickly returned to the backcourt. The Cavaliers did not advance quickly. They are a team built around the core of the inside. The rhythm of such a team often revolves around the inside.

Wu Dao, who returned to his position early in the half, looked at the fast-advancing Cavaliers. After entering the Timberwolves half, Sean Kemp set a screen for his teammates before entering the inside. Blay, the Cavaliers' No. 1, Vin Knight also took advantage of the situation.

A nimble little man suddenly accelerated and rushed inside. Garnett was not paying attention for a moment and focused all his attention on Sean Kemp. He directly let Brevin Knight pass by and kill him. He entered the paint and then made a light layup, easily putting the ball into the basket.

The sharp breakthrough immediately caused a burst of cheers from the Cavaliers' bench. Brevin Knight was also very happy after the goal. He high-fived Sean Kemp and quickly returned to defense.

"Stephen, you can speed up the pace."

Before Wu Dao ran to the frontcourt, he reminded Marbury. When the latter heard this, his eyes swept over the Cavaliers, and then nodded slightly.

The basketball came from the backcourt and was given to Marbury's hands. According to the meaning of martial arts, Marbury took the initiative to speed up. In just a few seconds, Marbury dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

Seeing Marbury dribbling the ball into the frontcourt, before Marbury could change his rhythm with the ball, Wu Dao made a gesture towards Garnett inside.

The latter understood and quickly took it out from the inside.

Although Garnett has some emotions about martial arts because of the team boss incident, he has one thing that is better. He will not bring these emotions onto the court. Garnett has excellent movement speed and excellent shooting skills.

His high-post cover not only creates better shooting space for Wudao, but also creates good offensive conditions for himself.

As Garnett lifted up, Wu Dao also made a back body and quickly stuck to Cedric Henderson. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Marbury also quickly gave the ball to Wu Dao's hands.

After the ball was released, Marbury quickly passed down. At the same time, Garnett's screen was in place. Wu Dao turned around and used Garnett's screen to quickly get rid of Cedric Henderson and cross. At the three-point line, when the opponent came towards Wu Dao to intercept him, Wu Dao grabbed the ball with one hand and quickly hit the ball towards the mid-range.

"Oh!"

The basketball hit the floor and went directly into the hands of Marbury, who took the ball, followed Brevin Knight's pursuit and made a layup, sending the ball to the basket.

However, the next second the basketball started to rise, the 221cm Zardunas Ilgauskas suddenly flashed out from the side and slapped the basketball directly, knocking the basketball away.

"!!!"

Marbury saw a little astonishment on his face when he saw Zharunas Ilgauskas "blocking out the sky and the sun." When he went for a layup, he used a small throw. After all, he was attacking the basket head-on. Marbury knew that he had some disadvantages.

But what he didn't expect was that the opponent's defense was so high that he could block even small throws.

"Stephen, pick up the ball!"

Garnett turned around and wanted to get the ball, but the experienced Sean Kemp was in a better position than him. He was not in a hurry to get the ball. He first went to Kaganette, and then quickly moved toward Basketball rushed forward and took the ball in his hands.

As soon as the basketball came into his hands, Sean Kemp grabbed the ball with both hands and protected the ball in the middle.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Timberwolves gave up the idea of ​​taking the ball back in the frontcourt and quickly turned around to defend.

The Cavaliers turned around and found Zarjunas Ilgauskas on the inside. This player had a huge height advantage against Cherokee Parks, but when he received the basketball After that, he was firmly stuck in the position by Cherokee Parks, who was more than ten centimeters shorter than him, and couldn't get in at all.

After two seconds of dribbling in place, Tom tried to double-team, but Zydrunas Ilgauskas successfully sent the ball out to the wide-open Wesley Person, who He caught the ball and shot, sending the ball directly into the basket.

"Well?"

"It seems that Spider-Man has a high regard for the knight."

"Although he is over 220cm tall, he is not at the same level as a center of Dayao's level."

"Although he is very tall, he is not heavy. His lateral movement speed is good, but his ability to combine man and ball is average."

"The strength is also very weak, and it can't even stand up to Cherokee."

"Defense is OK, offense is not."

Seeing the Cavaliers' attack in this round, Wu Dao briefly analyzed the Cavaliers' big center in his mind.

Just as Wu Dao thought, there is no way you can expect how powerful a center with a height of 221cm and a weight of 108kg can be.

In the eyes of Budo, Cherokee Parks is a "squishy" center that "everyone beats". He is 211cm tall but only weighs 107kg, which is similar to Budo, who is a few centimeters shorter at the No. 3 position. .

However, the 221cm Zajunas Ilgauskas weighs only 108kg. His frame height is higher than that of Budo and Cherokee Parks, but his weight is about the same as them, which also means that his lower body The market is definitely not as stable as martial arts.

Among players who are also over 220cm tall, such as the well-known Yao Yao, in the early days of entering the league, the weight shown in the physical measurement data was 134kg

After Dayao practiced in the NBA for a season, his weight reached 140kg, and it exceeded 150kg at his peak. Not to mention that after retiring, his figure was out of shape. Yao Ming has become a female figure. It was already months old, and O'Neal looked petite standing next to him.

The record height of Yao Ming, who first entered the league, is 227cm. Although he is 6cm taller than Zajunas Ilgauskas, the difference in weight between the two is 26kg, more than fifty kilograms.

Even if you have not watched the game between these two players, you can actually imagine the gap between these two players in terms of physical confrontation just by looking at the physical test data.

Oh, by the way, Wenbanyama, who was born in 00, is 224cm tall and weighed only 95kg when he first entered the league. However, Wenbanyama and Zarunas Ilgauskas have different functions. They are faster. ~

As he quickly analyzed the Cavaliers' insider in his mind, Wu Dao also quickly entered the frontcourt.

After taking one look at the opponent's tall and thin figure, the martial artist raised his hand and quickly asked for the ball from Marbury, who entered the frontcourt with the ball.

After glancing at Wu Dao's position, Marbury quickly passed the ball out without hesitation. After the ball was released, he was about to slide down when he saw Wu Dao wave his hand towards him, signaling to pull away. At the same time, Wu Dao also looked at Garnett inside. After noticing Wu Dao's gaze, Garnett didn't need Wu Dao's reminder at all. He quickly raised his position and ran towards Wu Dao. Before Cedric Hund Sen stood diagonally behind him.

Wu Dao, who was holding the ball, simply changed hands under his crotch, and then quickly exploded the ball and rushed forward. While his body was pressed against Cedric Henderson, Wu Dao was even faster. With the help of Garnett's screen, he quickly Entered the inside line.

Sean Kemp, who originally guarded the basket with his teammates, had already followed Garnett when he mentioned the high position. The Cavaliers had studied the Timberwolves before the game and knew that Garnett had a pretty good mid-to-long-range shooting ability. When En Camp was defending, he did not give Garnett an opportunity to shoot open.

Zarhunas Ilgauskas saw Wu Dao breaking into the inside line and immediately made up for it. However, facing Zahunas Ilgauskas who came up to defend, Wu Dao had no intention of slowing down and evading. , after combining the ball, he took two quick steps and jumped directly towards the basket.

"Bang!!!"

Budo, who was gliding rapidly towards the basket, collided with Zardunas Ilgauskas in mid-air, and the huge force directly penetrated Zahunas Ilgauskas's "ribs" , causing his whole body to fall backwards.

Budo grabbed the ball with one hand, and after the confrontation, his body paused in mid-air, maintaining the posture of holding the ball and shooting. After Zarunas Ilgauskas was pushed away, Budo quickly threw the ball.

The basketball scraped against the backboard and then fell into the basket with a crisp sound.

Zajunas Ilgauskas, who landed quickly, was unable to offset the impact of the martial arts attack on the basket. He took three consecutive steps back before barely regaining his balance.

Seeing Wu Dao's goal, a burst of cheers erupted from the stands of the Target Center Arena. The Timberwolves fans raised their arms and cheered, and their voices poured into the stadium.

Wu Dao's tough scoring style can easily ignite the enthusiasm of the home fans.

After the goal, Martial Arts' eyes quickly swept over Zarunas Ilgauskas' body, revealing an expression that was indeed the case.

In the NBA league in the 90s, the inside players were darker and stronger than the last, and all of them were bursting with talent.

There are not many "bamboo pole" players like Zarjunas Ilgauskas.

After entering the alliance, Wu Dao was still very cautious in his offensive choices. For those insiders guarded by big black men, Wu Dao would only find opportunities to break in, and generally would not use the current style of play.

Even though his weight is close to 110kg, he can crush most players in the same position in terms of strength, but that is at the 3rd position. Against the traditional th position, simply competing with the opponent for strength is impossible in martial arts. To what benefit.

That is to say, the player Zajunas Ilgauskas is a Lithuanian. If he were a native-born inside player in the United States, not to mention anything else, he would never be as thin as he is now in terms of physical fitness.

Martial Arts, who easily scored a goal, also set his sights on Zardunas Ilgauskas. He planned to use this player to open up the situation first!

In the few minutes after the first quarter, Wu Dao accounted for most of the team's shot opportunities, but it was a little different from the previous games. In today's game against the Cavaliers, Wu Dao did not rely on his personal ability to challenge himself on the outside. Cedric Henderson.

On the offensive end, Wu Dao often calls Garnett to come out for pick-and-rolls. Of course, his main purpose is not because he cannot break through Cedric Henderson's defense, but because Wu Dao needs Garnett's high-post screen to cover Shaw. En Kemp led the inside line, so he got inside and got a one-on-one opportunity with Zarunas Ilgauskas.

Budo's intentions were noticed by other Cavaliers players after he scored several goals in a row against the defense of Zarjunas Ilgauskas. Sean Kemp, under the guidance of the team coach Under the instruction, the defense of the inside was strengthened, and Garnett's transfer did not have an effect in the following rounds.

Shawn Kemp's focus on Budo's tilt did have some impact on Budo's offense.

But for the Timberwolves' overall offense, Sean Kemp's adjustments are of little use.

When the Cavaliers focused on martial arts, Garnett and others got good offensive opportunities.

In this regard, Wu Dao did not be stingy with its ball rights and shared the ball rights in the second half of the first quarter.

Garnett got more shooting opportunities, and Marbury also got several singles opportunities against Blevins Knight. Although Marbury is not tall in this league, he is only taller than Blevins. ·Nate is higher!

Under the threat of Wu Dao's sudden score, the Cavaliers were penetrated by the Timberwolves.

However, under the Timberwolves' offensive, the Cavaliers were still able to barely gain a foothold. Shawn Kemp and the Cavaliers' 1/2 swing position Wesley Person stood up when the team was in crisis.

Wesley Person frequently ran out of space under Tom's defense and scored inside. Although Cherokee Parks is not inferior to Zardunas Ilgauskas in terms of strength, the opponent has an absolute height advantage after all. On the offensive end, Cherokee Parks needs to devote most of his energy to They are all focused on their opponents, and there is no way to help Tom.

The same is true for Garnett. The Rainman's ability at the basket is quite strong. Garnett specifically said that he helped his teammates. It was already very difficult for him to deal with Shawn Kemp alone. Whenever he tried to double-team, Wesley, who had excellent vision, ·Person was able to give the ball to Shawn Kemp immediately.

In fact, under the leadership of Wesley Person and Shawn Kemp, they managed to gain a firm foothold amid the Timberwolves' stormy attack.

At 31:26, after the first quarter, the Cavaliers were only five points behind the Timberwolves.

Although the team still has the advantage, coach Philip is very dissatisfied with the team's performance.

Once upon a time, when they faced opponents like the Lakers, they were able to open up a considerable score in the first quarter.

But facing a young team like the Cavaliers, they were still only able to open up a 5-point difference. This was not the effect Philip wanted to see.

Martial Arts scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter. Although the scoring was not as "explosive" as in previous games, his outstanding performance still earned him countless cheers.

At the end of the first quarter, both the Timberwolves and Cavaliers put on substitute lineups.

The smoothness of the first quarter could not be continued in the second quarter.

Among the Cavaliers' substitutes was a center named Vitali Potapenko, who was the 96th overall pick in the first round of 12. As soon as this guy came up, he defeated the Timberwolves' substitute center Stanley Roberts. .

The Timberwolves suffered a tragic defeat in the second quarter.
