Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

The last quarter of Chapter 616 is the opportunity to win or lose!

The third quarter of the game between the Timberwolves and the Bulls ended, and the players from both sides returned to their respective rest areas.

Wu Dao didn't say a word after returning to the rest area. He just took the sweat towel handed to him by his teammates and wiped the sweat from his cheeks.

Coach Phillip also paid close attention to Wu Dao's expression and asked with some concern: "How is it? Can you still hold on?"

"Do you need to adjust it?"

It is true that Coach Philip was selfish when coaching the Timberwolves. In other words, who in the NBA is truly selfless? That kind of person will never appear in this alliance.

It is true that Philip wanted to control this team after becoming the head coach of the Timberwolves, but he also deeply understood that this team with martial arts and without martial arts are completely two levels of teams.

It's hard to say how much the presence of Wu Dao will improve the Timberwolves' record. After all, Wu Dao has just entered the league, he has not proven himself in the playoffs, and he does not have any solid honors at hand.

But one thing is clear to Philip, that is, the Timberwolves with martial arts have unlimited possibilities. No matter what kind of opponent they are, as long as martial arts are on the court, they can always find a chance to win!

Even if they face Michael with full firepower, the Timberwolves may not lose!

And it is precisely because of this that Philip is so concerned about Wu Dao's physical condition. Philip knows that if Wu Dao cannot handle it at this time, if Michael continues to maintain that competitive state in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves will not be able to compete at all in today's game. Hope.

Most of the time, the purpose of a coach's existence is to make the superstar play comfortably.

No matter what changes have taken place in the future, the friend with whom I fished with a runny nose when I was a child is still the silly look with a runny nose that impressed me the most.

Did Philip say this because he changed his gender? !

Seeing Wu Dao say this with such certainty, Philip nodded slightly, and then actually asked Wu Dao: "Do you need to ask Marbury and Garnett to come up and share the pressure with you?"

But a young superstar who has already fulfilled his talent.

In terms of physical reserves, Wu Dao can definitely be called a physical monster. Although he may not be able to compare with Jordan in his peak period in this aspect, compared with the old Jordan, Wu Dao is not weak at all.

People are actually like this. The inherent impressions in their minds are actually very difficult to dissipate.

As a coach, Philip knows exactly what attitude he needs to take when facing these two types of people.

Faced with young people who have not yet realized their talents, they should be praised when they should be praised and suppressed when they should be suppressed. But for a young superstar who has taken shape, he needs to give him a certain amount of respect.

"Adjustment?"

Philip has not coached many games in the NBA, but coaches of his age also know how terrifying Jordan is when he performs.

"Kevin's defense should be able to help you, and Stephen's ball release is more stable than Chris's."

"unnecessary."

"It will make you more comfortable catching the ball and reduce your physical exertion to a certain extent!"

Wu Dao is also a player who has been training since he was a child. Although he started in junior high school, he has no gaps in his basketball career and his physical talent is also quite outstanding.

In fact, it was not until today that Philip began to re-examine his personal abilities in martial arts. The young figure of Team B that he saw in the ABCD training camp has gradually disappeared in Philip's mind.

"That old man has been fighting longer than me and will only be more tired than me!"

Is it possible that Wu Dao can take over the mantle of the league's No. 1 player from Jordan's hands? !

Philip's impression of Wu Dao has always been that of an "outstanding newcomer with superstar potential", but now, Wu Dao has shown more than just "superstar potential" in his offense and defense with Jordan.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of style a young man of martial arts level would have after continuing to practice in the NBA for several years.

It is certainly not an easy thing for someone like him to change his gender. However, in today's game, when Philip saw with his own eyes that martial arts can actually fight with Jordan, who has a hot hand, the concept in his mind, There will be some changes to some extent.

When is it time to put on the coaching air? Only when the team loses and the "superstar" starts to reflect on his own problems does the coach need to act like a coach.

The martial arts in Philip's eyes are the martial arts of the B team in the ABCD training camp. In the eyes of the fans of the Timberwolves players, the martial arts is the super rookie who averages nearly 40 points per game and can compete with the "gods".

"Since it's your wish, coach."

"Then let's switch to Garnett and Marbury."

Although Wu Dao is currently thinking about how to catch up with Jordan, the most basic acumen will not be missing. He will not leave people with the impression of "interfering with coaching and employing people", so he followed Philip's words and said casually .

"okay!"

Phillip nodded, and then made substitution adjustments.

Although Wu Dao thought he handled it well, in fact, when Philip asked him that question, Wu Dao's failure to directly refuse and say "I have no objection" meant that Wu Dao was already interfering with coaching and hiring.

Although the media would not use such things to attack Wu Dao, the Timberwolves' players took Philip's words seriously, and their eyes towards Wu Dao also changed slightly.

There was no anger or dissatisfaction. The team members looked at martial arts with a little more awe.

This is not awe of the strength of martial arts, but awe of the "rights" possessed by martial arts.

When the Timberwolves made personnel adjustments, the Bulls also quickly made personnel adjustments. The 218cm white power center returned to the court. At the same time, Jackson emphasized the need to strengthen the inside when adjusting techniques and tactics. Prevention and control.

Zen Master is a discerning person, and he clearly knows that this game is not only a game between the Timberwolves and the Bulls, but also a game between Jordan and the rookie.

What other players have to do is to strengthen their control of the basketball ball, and to firmly seize the opportunity when it arises.

In the third quarter of the game, although Jordan and Wu Dao had a heated battle, both of them had the habit of passing to open teammates near the basket. This also indirectly shows that the two men competed not only on their personal abilities.

Both of them have a relatively standard core style of play. What they compete with is "all the weapons" they can use.

"Beep——"

The break time passed quickly, and as the buzzer sounded in the court, the Bulls and Timberwolves players returned to the court.

After entering the court, Jordan immediately raised his eyes to look at the martial arts of the court players. When he saw the young man still staying on the court, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Bulls possession.

The basketball came out from the backcourt. Ron Harper, who had played all three quarters of the game, did not stay on the court. Cole was replaced.

Cole's physique is not much different from Marbury's. It is foreseeable that when facing Cole, Marbury will have an easier time hitting the ball than facing Ron Harper.

Moreover, Cole's defense is not very strong. Facing Cole, Marbury will actually have a lot of singles opportunities.

Marbury, who only returned to the court in the fourth quarter, didn't have many thoughts of "showing off his talents" even when he saw that the Bulls' guard was replaced by Cole. When he returned to the court this time, he knew his task very well. As long as Wu Dao's offensive efficiency could still be maintained, what he had to do was to give the ball steadily to Wu Dao's hands instead of doing unnecessary things. .

What Marbury has to do is what Cole is doing now!

"call out!"

The basketball broke through the air and made an undetectable sound.

The basketball fell into Jordan's hands. The latter took the ball, quickly swept it at a low altitude, and then tapped his toes to the right. After a simple test step, Jordan dropped the ball with his right hand, but his whole body jumped towards the left and back in the opposite direction. step.

The next moment, Jordan used his left foot as the axis, quickly kicked off the ground, stepped forward with his right foot, and accelerated towards the right side of Wu Dao. At the same time, Jordan's body also hit Wu Dao's body hard.

The confrontation between Martial Arts and Jordan has already escalated, and referees have become accustomed to this level of strong fighting.

Facing Jordan's impact, Wu Dao turned slightly sideways, and after avoiding Jordan's "charged blow" to a great extent, he quickly followed up with a sliding step and actively used his body to meet Jordan's impact.

"Bang!!!"

Wu Dao and Jordan made physical contact and made a muffled sound.

After the fierce physical confrontation, although Jordan's speed was slowed down, his body posture was still maintained quite well.

Jordan, who was approaching the free throw line, charged up the ball with an explosive ball, and then jumped forward. After his body collided with Wu Dao's body again, Jordan quickly took off, blocked Wu Dao's arms with one move, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and swung it. Made a shooting stance.

Even though Jordan flipped his wrist slightly, the basketball quickly passed over Wu Dao's head and flew towards the basket.

"Dang~~~"

However, this time, Jordan's shooting was not as "unfavorable" as before. The basketball hit the edge of the basket and was directly knocked out of the basket.

The short rest seemed to disrupt Jordan's excellent touch.

Under the basket, Ben Wallace used his body to push away the Bulls' interior players, creating a good environment for Garnett to grab the board.

Although Garnett ran and jumped, the rebound was still in Garnett's hands.

"Tired?"

"Michael?!"

When Wu Dao saw his teammates grabbing the rebound, he also grinned at Jordan and mocked.

This scene has actually happened many times before. When Wu Dao and Jordan failed to score a goal, the other side would often find an angle to make a sarcastic comment.

"is it possible?"

Jordan asked in return, staring at Martial Arts with the "Eye of Death".

Sometimes, Jordan's strength is not only reflected in his skills, but also in his words and demeanor.

Kwame Brown must be able to understand the meaning of these words.

There was nothing much about martial arts. He just glanced at Jordan and quickly ran towards the frontcourt. The basketball was also transferred from Garnett's hands to Marbury's hands.

Marbury, who had just come on the court, was full of energy after resting for a whole quarter. As soon as he got the basketball, he began to speed up the fast break.

Wu Dao and Garnett also overtook Marbury one after another. Seeing his teammates entering the frontcourt one after another, Marbury's speed increased again.

After quickly avoiding Cole's steal in front of his body, Marbury crossed the center line and there was almost no cover in front of him.

The Bulls players returned to defense quickly, but there were only a few players, including Jordan, Cole who was blocked, and Rodman who returned to the court, and then they were gone.

Kukic's running speed is not fast, and the Bulls' big center obviously cannot keep up with a physical monster like Garnett.

Three-on-two in the frontcourt.

Jordan didn't care about others, he just focused on martial arts.

Seeing that there was no chance for Marbury to pass the ball to Wu Dao, he drove to the basket. After attracting Rodman's defense, he then sent an alley-oop to Garnett. Garnett then smashed the ball and dunked it. After entering the net, two points were immediately added to the Timberwolves' scoreboard.

"Defend!"

"Run faster!!!"

After the Timberwolves scored, Jordan also vented his anger on Kukchi, who was belatedly arriving.

Jordan is a strict person, strict with himself, and also very strict with his teammates.

No matter how Jordan glorifies himself in his autobiography and documentaries, he is that kind of person, and this will not change at all.

When his teammates perform well, Jordan can talk and laugh with you, but once the performance does not satisfy him, or even hinders him, then the "god" face will come out.

After being scolded angrily by Jordan, Kukic obviously tightened his grip.

The pace of running towards the frontcourt is obviously faster.

As the Bulls entered the frontcourt, the basketball came into Jordan's hands again.

Facing Wu Dao who was defending about half a meter in front of him, Jordan did not choose a three-pointer. He dragged the ball down and simply swayed to his right. Jordan also quickly changed direction and leaned against Wu Dao again. .

After rushing into the three-point county line under the pressure of Wu Dao, Jordan followed Wu Dao and turned around to pass. The moment Wu Dao blocked the position in front of him, Jordan raised the ball and flicked it. After successfully lighting up Wu Dao, he shot a fadeaway jumper. .

Excellent footwork and feints, even in martial arts, facing Jordan's series of operations, they can only raise their hands to try to interfere.

I thought that this kind of defense would be of no use to Jordan, but then there was a soft sound from the direction of the basket and Garnett's loud shout.

Wu Dao looked back towards the basket with a slight smile on his face.

"This old boy is dying!"

"Quick attack!"

Wu Dao gave a low shout and quickly ran towards the front court.

Kill him while he's sick.

Martial Arts didn't want to give Jordan a chance to breathe at all.
