Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 595 A comfortable game!

"Speed ​​up!"

As soon as Wu Dao opened his mouth, Garnett, who was serving from the backcourt, immediately picked up the basketball and threw it directly to Marbury.

After the latter got the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt. As he acted, the two insiders, Garnett and Ben Wallace, also quickly followed up, almost closing in on Marbury for a three-pointer. When the line was reached, the two people quickly crossed from both sides towards the inside line.

However, when Ben Wallace was about to approach the paint area, he suddenly thought of something, paused, and then quickly rushed towards the martial arts outside.

"Ok?"

Seeing Ben Wallace's movements, Wu Dao murmured softly, and then immediately understood Ben Wallace's intention. When he was about to reach Reggie Miller's side, Wu Dao immediately accelerated and directly pushed away Lei. Jim Miller, passing by Reggie Miller quickly.

Although Reggie Miller can be said to be a celebrity among celebrities, the honors he has received are far beyond what a fledgling newcomer like martial arts can compare with. At the same time, he has been in the league for many years, and his experience on the field is definitely far higher than that of Martial arts.

But on the basketball court, playing is not based on seniority.

No matter how famous Reggie Miller is, no matter how many honors he has, his physical fitness cannot be compared with that of Wu Dao. Facing Wu Dao's off-ball cuts, the moment Wu Dao's body touches Reggie Miller's body, it is huge. The power caused the unprepared Reggie Miller to lose his balance.

By the time he adjusted his posture and turned around to pursue, Ben Wallace had already arrived diagonally behind him, firmly blocking his pursuit route.

Dale Davis inside the Pacers did not follow up immediately. The moment Wu Dao appeared open, Marbury also quickly passed the ball to Wu Dao who was traveling to the mid-range. After noticing Marbury's pass, Dell ·Davis quickly rushed towards Martial Arts.

Wu Dao, who caught the ball, just raised the ball a little, and immediately sent Dale Davis, who was rushing to cover, into the air. Then Wu Dao quickly passed Dale Davis and jumped forward. He also quickly shot the basketball in his hand.

"Shh!"

Wu Dao shot in the mid-range, and after landing, he had already reached the sideline of the paint area. With such a recent shot, Wu Dao had almost no possibility of making a mistake when no one was guarding him. The basketball went directly into the net with a crisp sound. .

"nice shot!"

"Great cover, Stephen, great pass!"

After scoring the goal, Wu Dao felt quite good. This goal made him feel very comfortable. When he returned to defense, he couldn't help but praise Wallace and Marbury. On the way back, Wu Dao also high-fived the two of them in celebration.

After entering the Timberwolves, Martial Arts has not encountered such an easy and comfortable goal for a while.

The Timberwolves may be said to be an NBA team, but this team has very few supporting tactical systems.

As the main attacker of the team, it can be said that there are no specialized tactics around him. He is actually a little different from the team's previous main attacker Tom. When Tom was the main attacker, he rarely caught the ball and hit hard from outside the three-point line.

Most of the time, he is in the mid-range, relying on running positions to try his best to catch the basketball as close to the basket as possible. This is also related to his shooting range. If he catches the basketball too far away, he can only catch the basketball. It makes his offensive threat weaker.

But Wu Dao is different. He has excellent three-point ability. Only when he gets the ball outside the three-point line can he fully unleash his offensive threat.

The differences in the playing styles of these two main attackers also make it impossible for the Timberwolves to use the offensive system they are used to on Tom and transfer it intact to the mountains of martial arts and let the team play according to the old route.

Although with Budo's physique and his footsteps, he can perform well in catching the ball in the mid-range and in the low post, overall, this will weaken Budo's offensive power in disguise.

There is no systematic offensive system that is unique to itself. This has made Martial Arts accustomed to one person holding the ball and fighting fiercely in the competition.

Fortunately, in the previous games before the regular season, the Timberwolves' opponents did not pay enough attention to martial arts and did not lose face and double-team martial arts by defending the stars. This also allowed martial arts to play smoothly in previous games. , the data in each game is very eye-catching.

But smoothness and comfort are still different.

Wallace's pick-and-roll, Marbury's pass, and the goal he scored easily just now, Wu Dao played very comfortably. Although the coordination is simple, the feeling of martial arts is still different.

Between the alternation of offense and defense, the ball came into the hands of the Pacers.

After Mark Jackson got the basketball in the backcourt, he ran towards the Timberwolves half court with the ball. As soon as he passed the midline, Marbury immediately got stuck on him.

Marbury understood the meaning of "speeding up" in Wu Dao's previous words, and also planned to do his part on the defensive end.

Mark Jackson is older than Marbury, and there is not much difference in height and weight between the two. Therefore, in Marbury's view, if he defends with all his strength, the Pacers' 30-year-old veteran will I'm afraid I have to drink a bottle of it.

Marbury's defense

How to put it, Schrödinger's defense.

Do you think he has it? If he is serious about one-on-one defense, he can really do a very good job even though he is about the same size. But it would be inappropriate to classify Marbury as defensive for this reason.

Because most of the time, he is not very willing to defend, or in other words, when facing players without the team, his defense is "insignificant".

But today's game was okay. Marbury was obviously in high fighting spirit. As soon as Mark Jackson passed the midline, he stuck to him.

Mark Jackson kept making adjustments in disguise, and Marbury was always able to keep up quickly. At the same time, he was able to try to steal when chasing, giving Mark Jackson a very strong sense of pressure.

Mark Jackson didn't play the ball either, he just dribbled the ball by himself and waited for the opportunity.

And the opportunity soon appeared.

Facing the young Wu Dao, Reggie Miller gave full play to his senior game experience. Seeing Wu Dao pushing himself too hard and not having a good chance to catch the ball, Miller crossed his hands and hit Wu Dao directly. Taking advantage of the force of the shock coming from his body, Miller quickly distanced himself from Martial Arts and ran towards Mark Jackson.

"Worthy!"

Reggie Miller's rough escape action made Martial Arts couldn't help but curse. After standing firm, he quickly rushed towards Reggie Miller, but at this time, Reggie moved to the top of the arc. ·Miller has already received a pass from his teammate.

Then he stood outside the three-point line behind Mark Jackson and directly pulled out the three-pointer.

As soon as Wu Dao ran to Reggie Miller's side, the basketball flew out of his hands.

Quickly turning his head towards the basket, in Martial's sight, Reggie Miller's three-point ball fell steadily into the basket with a crisp sound.

"!!!"

5:2, as soon as the game started, the Pacers firmly took the initiative, leading the Timberwolves by three points.

Turning his head and quickly glancing at the linesman, Wu Dao's eyes fell back on Reggie Miller.

"Hey, young man!"

"Don't look at me like that."

"I do not like."

"By the way, if you want to complain, just complain to the referee, but..." "I don't think you can."

Reggie Miller noticed Martial Arts' gaze, shrugged and said with a smile. In fact, he knew very well that his escape action just now involved pushing someone, but the referee didn't call it, so wouldn't that be enough?

Different referees face different games, and at different times, the scale of whistleblowing is different.

This is the home court of the Timberwolves. Reggie Miller knows that the Timberwolves' referees' penalties are relatively loose. The reason is also very simple. The Timberwolves are a team that plays "defensive counterattack". When their players are defending, their actions are also very loose. Not necessarily much "formal".

Now that the game has just begun, the tone of the referee's whistle has already been figured out by Reggie Miller.

Not only that, but the thin-boned NBA superstar in front of him seemed to have some understanding of martial arts character.

Sure enough, upon hearing Reggie Miller's words, a bright smile appeared on Wu Dao's face.

It doesn't matter if the movements are bigger, as long as they are not intended to hurt people, martial arts will accept them.

After all, he also has big moves!

Offense and defense alternated, and Marbury quickly dribbled the ball into the Pacers half after receiving the ball in the backcourt.

After Hu Ding briefly held the ball, Marbury noticed Garnett on the inside with his back up. At the same time, Wallace ran towards Wu Dao on the outside. It seemed that he was preparing to repeat his same trick. .

Wallace's actions also attracted the attention of Dale Davis, who followed Wallace and ran out from the inside.

Seeing this scene, Marbury didn't hesitate anymore. After taking a quick step forward, he quickly half-turned around. At the same time, the basketball in his hand was passed from behind and delivered steadily to Garnett's hands.

Garnett faced Rick Schmitz, who was more than half his head taller than him. He showed no signs of weakness at all. Once he hit the ball with his back, Garnett suddenly felt that the opponent took a step back? !

This 224cm big man weighs about the same as Garnett, and his foot plate is not as stable as Garnett's.

After quickly turning around, Garnett looked up at the basket and immediately planned to dunk the ball into the basket.

But at this moment, Rick Schmitz just stood on tiptoe, and his big hand directly covered the basketball Garnett raised above his head. Garnett couldn't even take off, and directly pressed it down, and so did the basketball. fell from his hand.

"!!!"

I have to say that in this three-point area in the interior, height is really practical.

Although Garnett lost the ball, he quickly turned back and rushed towards Rick Schmitz who had just picked up the ball. The latter had just received the basketball and was hit by Garnett. The bat hit the ball and rolled outward.

Tom Gugliotta reacted quickly and rushed to the side of the basketball without taking the ball. He just slapped the basketball hard and changed the path of the ball, causing the ball to fly in the direction of the martial arts.

The basketball flew very high. When Wu Dao saw the basketball coming quickly to his head, he did not immediately rush to get the ball. Instead, while accelerating, he quickly leaned against Reggie Miller's body and then rushed towards the basketball. .

Reggie Miller, who had gathered strength and was about to sprint, was knocked out by Wu Dao and was immediately discouraged.

He couldn't run at all, so he couldn't compete with Wu Dao for the ball.

"This first grade"

"He's very experienced, too."

Reggie Miller watched Wu Dao approaching the three-point line with the ball, and thought to himself, then spread his arms and waited for Wu Dao to approach.

While Wu Dao was approaching Reggie Miller with the ball, Ben Wallace, who had just given Wu Dao a ball-free screen, returned to the inside and was about to grab the board. At this time, Wu Dao saw Wu Dao holding the ball again, and he immediately moved toward him non-stop. Running from the outside, he stood in the pick-and-roll behind Reggie Miller, which was on the right side of Budo.

But this time, Reggie Miller noticed.

Wu Dao dribbled the ball close to the three-point line in the corner. When Ben Wallace was about to complete his position, the rhythm suddenly changed. He stepped out with his right foot towards the right, holding the ball with his right hand in preparation for a sudden advance.

Reggie Miller's defense was quickly mobilized by Martial Arts, and he took a step forward to his left, hoping to block the pick-and-roll and use his body to resist Martial Arts' advance.

But just as he moved his steps, Wu Dao, who grabbed the ball with his right hand, suddenly changed direction in front of him. After a big change of direction after a suspended dribble, he was instantly separated from Reggie Miller.

The change in the direction of the anti-pick and roll was beyond Reggie Miller's expectation. At the same time, Wu Dao had no intention of rushing towards the inside after the change of direction. Instead, after the change of direction, he made a diagonal move towards the left. Step sideways, still close to the three-point line, quickly connect the ball and pull out the hand.

The step-back three-pointer after the change of direction does not have many forward movements, and it is open. Such a ball will test the player's overall rhythm.

The basketball flew out of Wu Dao's hands and passed directly through the net under the gaze of the Pacers.

The moment the basketball hit the net, the players in the center of the target suddenly burst into amazing cheers.

In the eyes of the audience, this was Budo's first game after "recovering" from injury after his "fight" with the postman. The excellent competitive state that Budo has shown now also made Minnesota fans breathe a big sigh of relief. The supernova of their home team was not "consumed" by the postman.

On the other hand, Postman also missed several games. In the game against the Nets at the beginning of the month, he even had an astonishing performance of 21-for-6. Although the Jazz won that game, in the eyes of the fans, Postman Obviously there is no recovery.

Compared to the sluggish performance of the Postman, Martial Arts started with two goals and scored a response goal under pressure, which is really surprising.

On the sidelines of the court, Coach Philip burst into laughter when he saw Wu Dao scoring consecutive goals.

In contrast, the Pacers' head coach, Larry Bird, looked a little less beautiful at this moment. Yes, you read that right, the head coach of the Pacers is Larry Bird, the Big Bird Bird.

"Hey, cheer up!"

"Don't be fooled so easily by that rookie!"

Larry Bird is not a good-tempered person. During his playing career, he had a vicious mouth. Even as a coach, his face was not much better when facing players. After Reggie Miller lost his defensive position, , Bird stood on the sidelines and roared loudly, his face turned red, and it felt very oppressive.

When Wu Dao returned to defense, he glanced at Bird on the sidelines with a smile in his eyes.

If you say you won’t be cheated, then you won’t be cheated?

If that's the case, do you still need to practice fake moves?

Coach Bird and owner Jordan have a common problem. They both feel that what they can do, their players can also do.

But this is understandable. They were indeed too unique as players, and their brain circuits were different from ordinary people.

　I read it on Station B before writing, Reggie Miller: At the decisive moment, he is really an interesting player. If you are interested, you can airborne for 26 minutes. It is very interesting.
