Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Budo blocked the defensive player's jump shot, giving the Timberwolves the lead.

At the same time, Wu Dao's excellent handling of the ball also made Philadelphia fans couldn't help but take a few more glances at Wu Dao. With just one ball, everyone can get a glimpse of some of the strength of martial arts from its technical movements.

In the stadium, Wu Dao, who scored the goal, quickly returned to defense. Iverson couldn't help but look at Wu Dao's back as he ran towards the front court.

In a place like the NBA, players change very quickly. A new generation replaces an old one. This can be used to describe the NBA arena.

Iverson only landed in the NBA as the No. 1 pick last year, but just one year later, there were latecomers stepping on his head.

This season, the Spurs' No. 1 pick, Tim Duncan, has performed very well from the beginning of the season to the present. Many fans have turned their attention away from Iverson and turned to the Spurs. A new top scholar.

As for Wu Dao, who also entered the NBA as a rookie this year, he has already gained quite a reputation in the league, and his popularity is much higher than that of Duncan, the No. 1 pick.

The older generation of players, such as Jordan and Dameng, are still shining on the court, while the new generation of players, such as Wu Dao, have begun to emerge.

In such a basketball environment, Iverson would inevitably have a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

How can we eliminate this sense of crisis?

In fact, it is very simple, just defeat the opponent, score on the opponent's head, and let the team win!

The Philadelphia 76ers' players are all young, although there is a larger inside man in Eric Montrose. But the 76ers' pushback speed is still quite fast.

When Jim Jackson quickly dribbled the ball toward the top of the key, 76ers center Eric Montrose had just crossed the center line.

But Jim Jackson had no intention of waiting for his inside line to be in position. Facing Tom's defense, Jim Jackson quickly gave the ball to Allen Iverson on the right. While releasing the ball, Jim Jackson also quickly Rushing in the direction of Iverson, intending to set up a pick-and-roll for Iverson.

Marbury was also attracted by Jim Jackson's actions. He glanced to his side from the corner of his eye and was careful.

But at the moment when Marbury's attention was distracted, Iverson quickly dropped the ball and rushed towards his right side.

Iverson's speed was so fast that in just a moment, he passed Marbury and traveled to the middle distance. Marbury hurriedly turned around to intercept, but after easily breaking through Marbury, Iverson also made an emergency stop and threw the basketball in his hand quickly.

"Shh!"

As the sound of the basketball hitting the net was heard in the court, the Philadelphia fans also cheered.

"What a quick dash!"

When watching football games on TV, people's perception of speed will be greatly reduced. He has long known that Iverson's breakthrough speed is very fast, but this feeling can only be felt personally when he is on the court.

He was defending on the other wing. Although he was not specifically marking Iverson, a considerable part of Martial Arts' attention was actually placed on Iverson.

The opponent's entire breakthrough movement fell into Martial Arts' sight.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, one thing that Martial Arts can make clear is that Iverson's startup acceleration is faster than his own! Wu Dao is also a talented player, but in terms of absolute speed, he is not as good as Iverson.

After the 76ers scored, Marbury also looked at Iverson, not discouraged on his face.

It's not that he and Iverson have never played against each other. Marbury actually knows Iverson's technical characteristics very well. It's normal to be unable to prevent Iverson's sudden advance. In terms of speed, Iverson has "absolute" talent. , this is not something that Marbury can compare to.

Even if he knew that Iverson would rush to his right, it would be difficult for Marbury to stop the opponent. If he did more, he could only provide some interference to make the opponent's rhythm less smooth when he rushes in, and try to destroy the opponent's breakthrough shot as much as possible. overall rhythm.

Other than that, Marbury has no other options.

"Give me more confrontation."

As Marbury went to the backcourt to catch the ball, he secretly reminded himself in his heart that after receiving the basketball, Marbury quickly adjusted his mood and ran quickly towards the frontcourt with the ball.

In the Timberwolves' second attack, after holding the ball close to the top of the arc, Marbury stretched out his hand to direct the martial arts movement. At Marbury's signal, Wu Dao left the corner position on the wing and followed the three-point line to the bottom corner. After briefly stopping at the bottom corner, he quickly crossed into the inside line.

At the same time, Garnett also quickly came out from the inside, giving Wu Dao enough space. At the same time, he also quickly went to the high position to provide a cover for Marbury.

With Garnett's cover, Marbury rushed inside from the elbow area where Wu Dao left. After the pick-and-roll, Garnett also quickly moved forward. For a moment, the Timberwolves had three players coming from three directions. Running towards the 76ers' paint area.

Clarence Witherspoon was very attached to the martial arts, but when he saw Marbury successfully passing Iverson and rushing towards the inside, he couldn't help but be distracted.

He looked in the direction of Marbury and saw that Wu Dao's figure had quickly gotten rid of Clarence Witherspoon and began to accelerate.

Marbury noticed Wu Dao slipping the baseline, and threw the basketball directly over Wu Dao. The basketball was thrown very high. Clarence Witherspoon raised his head and looked at the basketball flying out of Marbury's hands. , leaping forward to intercept the ball.

But the basketball flew past the fingertips of Clarence Witherspoon, who was struggling to take off. At the same time, a big white hand quickly appeared on the fingertips of Clarence Witherspoon. Above, he grabbed the basketball and then poured it towards the basket.

“Bang!!!”

The basketball was directly poured into the basket by Wu Dao, and a huge sound sounded in the court.

Wu Dao, who dunked smoothly, pressed his body against Clarence Witherspoon's body. Clarence Witherspoon, who landed quickly, stumbled and took several steps back before barely standing up. steadied himself.

"ohhhh——"

Wu Dao's strong alley-oop dunk caused low cheers from the stands. While Wu Dao and Marbury completed the cooperation, they also "incidentally" dunked Clarence Witherspoon.

With just one goal, fans watching the game could clearly see the talent gap between Budao and Clarence Witherspoon.

Clarence Witherspoon, who is 198cm and 109kg, is far inferior to Wu Dao in terms of height and wingspan. At the same time, there is also a big gap between Wu Dao and Wu Dao in jumping. The ball that Wu Dao can catch, Clarence Witherspoon Pang couldn't pick it up at all. The Timberwolves' attack only took seven seconds, and the Timberwolves who successfully scored also retreated quickly. After Marbury high-fived Wu Dao who returned to the court, he also looked at his old friend and old rival Iverson, with a little joy in his eyes.

Although scoring depends on martial arts, Marbury is the one who connects the team.

Marbury feels that he will not lose to Iverson in the role of guard, and the better his martial arts performance, it can actually indirectly prove that Marbury's organization is excellent!

Philadelphia's last round of 76-point offense came to an end with Allen Iverson's throw. The Timberwolves have Garnett guarding the paint area. He moves very quickly. Iverson relied on his outstanding talent to make a beautiful crossover past Marbury and into the inside. But his throw was... Was disturbed by Garnett who quickly came up to defend.

The rebound that fell was also picked up by Wu Dao who quickly squeezed into the basket.

Offense and defense alternated, and the basketball was handed to Garnett after several passes. The bulky Eric Montrose used his body to push Garnett, but Garnett just turned around with a blast and directly knocked Eric Montrose away. Rose made a clean pass, and Garnett jumped up when he reached the basket, grabbed the ball with both hands, and poured the ball into the basket.

It is true that although the Philadelphia 76ers have supernovas like Allen Iverson, the gap in hard power between the Timberwolves and the 76ers cannot be bridged by Allen Iverson alone.

And unfortunately, the person guarding Allen Iverson today is Marbury, who is very familiar with him.

Marbury had no intention of preventing Iverson from breaking through. His defense had always been focused on physical confrontation, and then when Iverson shot, he tried to interfere with the opponent's shot as much as possible.

If Iverson wanted to rush into the paint, Marbury wouldn't even chase him, leaving the task of assisting defense to Garnett.

Garnett himself is a player with excellent help defense awareness, and Garnett is also a genius. Iverson's methods of attacking the basket are indeed very rich, including throws, jump shots, pull-up layups and hand layups, all of which are perfect, but so what?

After all, Iverson is just a small guard with a height of about 180cm. In the small space inside, even if Iverson has ways to pass and finish against Garnett, it will be difficult for him to defeat Garnett. displayed in front of him.

Because Garnett is a 211cm spring monster.

The Timberwolves have a highly mobile spring monster inside, which makes the Philadelphia 76ers' offense very uncomfortable. Their offense basically relies on Iverson and Jim Jackson on the outside.

The inside offense is easily disrupted, so the 76ers are forced to increase their outside shots.

However, Wu Dao and Tom on the outside of the Timberwolves are not easy to deal with, and players who oppose Wu Dao are completely blocked.

The 76ers can only rely on Allen Iverson's personal ability to score points.

But under the influence of Marbury, Allen Iverson felt very stretched today.

As we all know, Kobe is a famous blacksmith.

But you may not know that Kobe, the blacksmith, was the least iron among the "four major shooting guards" back then.

The 76ers' offense was stagnant, but the Timberwolves were in full bloom. Tom could easily crush the young Jerry Stackhouse with his body, while the "veteran" defensive martial artist Clarence Wei However, Thespoon was almost defeated by the martial arts.

Clarence Witherspoon is a large-tonnage player, less than two meters tall. It is not easy to drag his 109kg body to run frequently.

What's even worse is that Wu Dao is not only fast enough, but also powerful enough. Pursuing Wu Dao really made Clarence Witherspoon suffer a lot.

Although the 76ers were led by a young superstar, they lost very quickly in the game against the Timberwolves.

In the first quarter, the two teams went back and forth, playing 26:21. The Timberwolves were "only" leading their opponents by 5 points.

But in the second quarter, Philip wanted to crush the 76ers in one go. Only one center was replaced among the starting players. Ben Wallace came on as a substitute to play the 4th position, and Garnett was moved to the 5th position. superior.

Once the personnel were changed, the Timberwolves' offensive firepower remained the same. Marbury played very focused in today's game. Often, as soon as a player became open, Marbury would deliver the ball to his teammates.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves beat the 76ers 30:19, making the game lose suspense early.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves began to rotate, and the 76ers only replaced Eric Montrose and the heavyweight Clarence Witherspoon at the fifth position. Several other people were still present. Fighting with the Timberwolves.

Iverson recovered somewhat in the third quarter, but after scoring three goals in a row, he continued to hit the ground running, causing confusion for the martial arts off the court.

Like many "superstars", Iverson is also the kind of person who is more committed and more committed. Martial Arts can't even count how many shots Iverson missed in today's game. Watching Iverson's game, Martial Arts is like watching "Blacksmith Highlights."

Wu Dao only played two and a half quarters of today's game, nearly thirty minutes, and his personal score was "only" 24 points.

Both Tom and Marbury played more than 40 minutes. After playing two quarters, the two of them just took a short rest and continued the game with the Timberwolves' substitutes.

The Timberwolves' substitutes are a bit weak. Mitchell and others have played less games this year, and their court sensitivity has also decreased. Coach Philip lets these substitutes play on the court in order to get them back into shape.

As the final buzzer sounded, the Timberwolves finally won the game 98:90.

The biggest contributor to the Timberwolves today was Tom, who played 42 minutes. He scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Of course, if a player's contribution is judged only by his score, then Tom is undoubtedly the one who deserves the most credit.

But in fact, in today's game, the most dazzling person on the Timberwolves' side is not Tom, nor the martial artist who performed a dunk not long after the start, but Marbury, who has been silently supporting the team.

Marbury played 41 minutes and scored 14 points, but also grabbed 6 rebounds. At the same time, he also had 14 assists. In today's NBA, the method of calculating assists is somewhat different from that of later generations. Only when a player takes the ball and takes action immediately can it be counted as an assist. Any movement cannot be counted as an assist.

The calculation method is very strict.

That is to say, under such a strict calculation method, Marbury still has such assists, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

与之相对的，76人这边的当家球星阿伦·艾弗森打了38分钟，全场17中7，三分球5中3，罚球8中5，单场砍下了22分1板6助3抢断。

Looking at the data alone, it is actually quite good, but when compared with the Timberwolves' Marbury, his data performance is not as dazzling as expected.

What's more, the Timberwolves won today's game.
