Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 620 Sweet and sour!

On the court, the performance of Boston University's No. 8 player was truly astonishing. Even if they are just watching the game from the sidelines, the Timberwolves players and coaches can feel the terrifying power contained in Tianye's body.

In the rest area of ​​the court, Celtics coach Rick Pitino saw that his team's inside players actually chose to dodge when facing Tianye's attack on the basket. He suddenly became furious and jumped from the bench. He stood up and shouted angrily:

"What are you hiding from?!"

"What the hell are you hiding from, you bastard?"

"Your opponent is just a college student, and you are an NBA player. If you are afraid of confrontation, then stop staying on the court!"

"What an idiot!!"

Although Rick Pitino is an academic coach, basketball coaches who can convince those athletes often do not have the "warm" personality.

Even Rick Pitino's face when angry is quite scary, and he doesn't shy away from the situation when he curses.

There were many students from Boston University in the audience, and the arrival of the Timberwolves obviously attracted some people's attention.

In front of so many outsiders, Rick Pitino did not give the players any face and scolded him so harshly, which is actually relatively rare.

This is the NBA, a business league, not campus basketball. The voice of NBA coaches in the team is actually incomparable with that of campus basketball coaches.

From the beginning of the season to the present, the Celtics' record is 14 wins and 14 losses. They are actually still struggling in the quagmire. Whether they can make it through the regular season and enter the playoffs is a big question.

Garnett looked up to the sidelines and said with a smile.

For a famous NCAA coach like Rick Pitino, even if he enters the NBA to coach, he will not suffer from the situation of "lack of prestige".

As for this problem, the Timberwolves currently do not have it.

But coaches like Rick Pitino obviously don't have to worry about the weakness of lack of prestige.

In the United States, even after Jordan appeared, the popularity of NCAA games was not inferior to that of the NBA. It was not until the NBA completely opened up the Asian market that the NBA's global influence could overwhelm the NCAA. However, in China, the NCAA's The competition is still quite exciting.

NBA players are not your head coach's players, they are the boss's players and the boss's assets. After that, players are NBA players and assets of the NBA.

Being trained like this by a coach in front of college students and other NBA players, no matter how good-tempered someone is, they would feel humiliated.

Many NBA coaches often have long assistant coaching careers before coaching NBA teams, and those assistant coaches often show some "acclimatization" when they suddenly jump from the assistant coaching position to the head coaching position.

Being able to break into the NBA, the highest palace of basketball, among the billions of people in the world, it is appropriate to use the term "the proud ones" to describe these NBA players.

It's just obvious that although Rick Pitino has been with the Celtics for a long time, his mentality has not yet completed the transformation from an NCAA coach to the Celtics head coach.

"As expected of a famous coach who transferred from the NCAA to the NBA, he speaks with toughness."

Next to Garnett, Sam Mitchell had a look of emotion on his face and said sympathetically.

"Celtics coach Rick Pitino is really strict!"

Wu Dao on the sidelines could clearly see the Celtics center's expression changed after being scolded by the coach.

The coach of campus basketball, to a certain extent, is a real man. What the coach says and what the players must do, not to mention the coach, even the school team doctor, all have a big say.

His focus was on the court, and his eyes fell on the No. 8 player from Boston University.

Their team just needs to perform normally, and the playoffs are almost certain. They defeated the Lakers and the Bulls. In the eyes of the Timberwolves, no matter what kind of opponent they are, there is no way to make them feel despair. .

"It's really pitiful to be forced to fight against such a monster."

But this is completely different in business alliances.

To put it bluntly, the coach's prestige is not enough to suppress the talented people under his command.

Mitchell himself also plays the small forward position, which is the No. 3 position.

He is a little older, and his usual eating habits are not very good, so in terms of weight control, he still deviates somewhat from the plan given to him by his trainer.

Mitchell is 198cm and weighs 95kg. With such a body and weight, he already looks very big.

On the court, Bowen was obviously one size smaller than him when he faced off against the field before. Among professional athletes, the body fat percentage is similar and the height is similar. Mitchell's 95kg compared to Bowen's 84kg, which is quite a lot. The difference of more than twenty kilograms is actually quite obvious.

But the young man from Boston University looked much bigger than Mitchell. Combined with the opponent's two-handed dunk just now, Sam Mitchell already felt very scary just thinking about it.

Not to mention, the white center of the Celtics looked "thin and weak". Compared with the opponent's burly body, he looked like he would fall down at a touch.

If Coach Philip had asked Mitchell to face off against the opponent today, he would not have gone at all.

With old arms and legs, he still wants to stay in the league for a few more years.

After Sam Mitchell finished speaking, the other Timberwolves players also looked at the fields on the court.

At this time, it happened that the Celtics were counterattacking with the ball.

After several passes of basketball, it came into the hands of Antoine Walker. Walker is a relatively standard No. 4 position with a height of 203cm and a weight of 102kg. He also looks relatively "solid".

However, he has not started to gain a lot of weight just a few years after entering the league. It is not very accurate to use the title "Fat Toutuo" to describe him.

Walker, who has not gained any weight, has actually begun to gain dominance. His strong physical talent allows him to play quite comfortably at the fourth position. There are really not many players who can defeat him.

Antoine Walker caught the ball with his back to the basket on the right sideline of the three-second zone. His receiving point was not far from the basket.

When the basketball entered the hands of Antoine Walker, a defensive player from Boston University immediately stuck behind Walker, it was the No. 8 of the white team.

Ye Ye's muscles are even stronger than those of Antoine Walker. In fact, the height difference between the two is not much different, but when Ye Ye comes behind Antoine Walker, he actually gives people the impression that he is taking Antoine. The feeling of being "covered" by Wan Walker.

"Uh"

On the side of the court, Wu Dao was speechless when he saw this scene. He had never seen such physical talent as Tian Tian.

"Bang!!"

In the court, Antoine Walker blasted the ball and hit Tianye hard sideways. However, facing Antoine Walker's back hit, Tianfang only leaned forward slightly, and there was no sign of him at all. It was a forceful movement, but under Antoine Walker's back blow, he was able to stand firmly and remained unmoved at all.

On the contrary, when the huge counterattack force was passed back to Antoine Walker, he was farther away from the basket as he took the initiative to blast the ball from behind.

"oh!!!"

This scene was naturally captured by the Timberwolves' players. Garnett lamented in an exaggerated and long voice, with a look of gloating on his face. Marbury also covered his mouth and smiled when he saw this scene, showing no restraint at all.

Garnett laughed at the opponent because he and Walker are players in the same position. If the opponent performs poorly, he will naturally be happy.

As for Marbury, that's because he and Walker are familiar with each other. They were both drafted in 96. Marbury was the No. 4 pick and Walker was the No. 6 pick.

"Come on! Antoine!"

With a smile on his face, Garnett walked to the sidelines, applauded and shouted.

encourage? That was naturally impossible, and he was prepared to see a good show. With Garnett's eyesight, he can naturally see what situation Walker is in when it comes to confronting the opponent's strength.

To say Walker is "at a disadvantage" is to look down on him. In terms of strength, Walker was completely overwhelmed by his opponent.

"The Timberwolves are here."

Suddenly hearing the shouts from the sidelines, Antoine Walker glanced towards the sidelines out of the corner of his eyes. When he saw Garnett and the martial arts group, he murmured in his heart, and he was also fierce. He also thought when he hit the ball with his back again. You need to covertly raise your elbow to push away the opponent.

But during the moment when Walker was distracted, Tianye took an extra half step along the baseline where Walker was facing. At the same time, his left arm quickly flashed past Walker and reached for the basketball in his hand.

Tian Tian started very decisively and controlled the ball with excellent accuracy. He hooked the basketball directly from top to bottom with his backhand.

At this time, Walker happened to hold the ball with both hands and was about to raise his elbow, but the huge force coming from the ball stopped his movement.

The next second, I saw Tian Ye using one hand to force the ball away from Antoine Walker.

If someone else's interception of the ball is called a steal, then Tianye's interception of the ball will only be called a robbery.

“ohhhhh!!!!”

This time, when Garnett saw this scene, he did not mock Antoine Walker who was "robbed" in a sinister manner, but instead let out a heartfelt exclamation at the horrific operation of the field.

Such violent players are really rare.

"Snapped!!"

After completing the steal, Tian Ye slammed the ball toward the ground in front of him, and then directly started to accelerate. While accelerating, his body also actively rubbed against Antoine Walker, sending Antoine Walker flying. He walked out, then kicked his feet and dodged directly in front of Antoine Walker.

The strong Tian Tian started at an extremely terrifying speed. With a simple acceleration, he took a few steps and reached the center line, and then grabbed the ball in his hands.

Then, in front of everyone's eyes, Tianchang, who crossed the midline, only used two dribbles to reach the Celtics' basket. Then, in front of everyone's weird eyes, he dunked with both hands and poured the ball into the basket. into the basket.

"Bang!!!" In the arena, the noise caused by the field dunk echoed. On the side of the court, the Celtics players were all stunned, and Coach Philip was also surprised after seeing this scene. Shocked.

The style of playing in the field is completely different from that of martial arts.

If Tian Tian, ​​​​in high school, not only showed terrifying physical talent during the game, but also had superb footwork and dribbling ability.

So playing on the field in this period is much "simpler".

After several offensive and defensive rounds, what both the players and the coach can see is Tian Ye's already somewhat "overflowing" physical talent.

Nowadays, when Tianye faces an opponent as strong as the Celtics, it also abandons some "fancy" passing moves or outside shooting techniques.

He just needs to rely on his physical talent and rush forward.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the Celtics quickly completed their counterattack.

Walker used the screen to pull outside the three-point line, and then his teammates delayed Tianye's pursuit, and then shot a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Although the previous rounds of offensive failures, how could such a small failure hit a player like Walker?

After returning the favor, the ball came into Boston University's hands again.

The basketball was given to Tianye, and just like the previous round, he caught the ball one step inside the three-point line.

Tian Ye seemed to be having fun. After receiving the basketball, he did not sweep the ball to face the basket immediately. Instead, after blowing the ball, he pressed Antoine Walker's body with his wide back.

The terrifying power was poured out on Antoine Walker in an instant. He couldn't bear the back blow from Ye Ye at all, so he took a big step back and got out of the way.

There was a breakthrough opportunity, but Tianye had no intention of turning around and rushing forward through the gap. After taking a step back to seize Walker's foothold, Tianye hit the ball from behind again.

And this time the back hit brought him closer to the basket.

The NBA didn't introduce the "Barkley Rule" until the 1999-2000 season, which was a five-second violation rule.

In the current 1997-1998 season, there is no such rule.

In practice matches, the players themselves called fouls. When Walker faced the college student in front of him, he could only grit his teeth and stand firm.

Subjectively, Walker naturally wants to defend against his opponent, but objectively, the weight difference of 126kg vs. 102kg, which is nearly 50 kilograms, is simply impossible because Walker can do it just because he "thinks".

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

After several consecutive back blows, Walker suddenly lost strength and stumbled to the ground. When Tian Ye hit the back, he seemed to feel that his opponent could no longer handle it. After the last back hit near the basket, he suddenly turned over and shot a jumper, and the basketball hit the net.

Tian Tian's movements are dexterous, and the muscles in his body not only don't look funny when doing such movements, but are full of power, giving people a "solid" feeling.

This is a sign of strong stability in aerial shooting posture.

Unlike some players who appear to be "floating" when they reluctantly shoot, Tianfang's shooting looks quite stable.

As the basketball scored, cheers erupted from a corner of the stands.

"This guy"

"Are you from Boston University?"

"After the game is over, ask him if he is willing to come and play in the NBA!"

"As long as he is willing, we, the Timberwolves, will try our best to trade upwards to get him!"
