Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Being beaten two-plus-one by Charles Barkley was obviously an unacceptable thing for Garnett.

In fact, Wu Dao didn't need to say anything. The most real thought in Garnett's heart at this time was to regain his position with Barkley.

It's a pity that the Rockets' defensive tactics against the Timberwolves did not allow Barkley to deal with Garnett.

Marbury dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and immediately found Garnett sitting in the low post. On the Rockets' side, the person guarding Garnett was Matt Bullard, who was 208cm tall and weighed 97kg. He could He switches between positions 3 and 4. If the team really needs it, he even dares to play as a center forward.

Matt Bullard is 31 years old, and he is not young at all. He is not weak at all when facing Garnett, who is better than him in height and weight.

When Garnett caught the basketball, he immediately put his left hand gently on Garnett's waist and raised one hand high, ready to block shots and cut the ball at any time.

When Garnett caught the ball, another Rockets insider, Olajuwon, quickly turned around and blocked the Timberwolves' Stanley Roberts behind him. At the same time, he quickly looked at Garnett, ready to make up for it at any time. Anti-capping.

On the surface, the person facing Garnett head-on is Matt Bullard, but in fact, the real inside core of the Rockets' defense against Garnett is Olajuwon.

Matt Bullard is just a "forward" used to consume Garnett. After Garnett breaks through Matt Bullard's defense, there will naturally be someone waiting for him!
Garnett, who caught the ball with his back to the basket, didn't notice that the Rockets' interior players had made some adjustments to their positions.

At this time, it is actually not very convenient for other Timberwolves players to remind Garnett. After all, Olajuwon did not go up to double-team Garnett. Reminding Garnett at this time will only distract Garnett and affect him. Garnett's judgment on offense.

In this attack, everyone saw the gap between Garnett and Matt Bullard. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Matt Bullard simply couldn't guard a player like Garnett.

Marbury and Tom both noticed this situation, paid attention to Garnett's matchup situation, and were ready to rush inside to make a rescue at any time.

After scoring the goal, Garnett's face also showed joy, and he growled: "Let me feel your defense, okay?!"

There are many, many such human shield players in today's league, and basically all teams will have a few of them in order to avoid having even a slight impact on others when facing O'Neal.

This type of player is generally the type that is heavy, strong, and technically rough. Such players cannot play a big role on the offensive end.

Neat.

Why is the Shark so terrifyingly dominant in the paint? Is it just because of his terrifying physique? Not entirely, O'Neal's footwork is actually quite good, and O'Neal's lateral movement is also very fast.

The explosive ball quickly turned his back to face the basket. Garnett lifted the basketball in his hands, but he did not take off and shoot after raising his center of gravity.

This time, Barkley, who was holding the ball, and Olajuwon, who was cutting to the basket, had a tacit linkage. With Olajuwon's high pick-and-roll, the martial arts defense of Barkley was delayed for a while before catching up with Barkley.

However, the Timberwolves don't have many interior offensive cores. Garnett is the only interior offensive core for the Timberwolves on the court today.

But in this moment of space, Garnett turned around with the ball, turned over and shot a jumper outside the paint area. The basketball hit the board from the side, and then rebounded into the basket with a crisp sound.

The role of waving towels off the court is also very useful for the team!

In the early days of Austrian football, he was also the kind of talented player who could defend from the inside to the outside.

Seeing Martial Arts's posture, Buckley relaxed his defensive posture a little.

The basketball was poured into the basket, and there were cheers from the stands. It's just that the voices of the audience haven't stopped yet. The Timberwolves are shooting from the bottom line quickly, and all the players are still approaching the Rockets half court at high speed.

Garnett held the ball with his back to the basket and shook his shoulders slightly to test. Feeling the huge power behind him, his eyes couldn't help but show a little excitement.

At the same time, Garnett also made a move at this moment. After a simple back-up blow, Matt Bullard seemed to be unable to withstand Garnett's physical strength, and he was directly pushed back by Garnett. Half a step forward.

He played very easily, and the feeling of successfully scoring made Garnett feel that he was in great shape today. He felt that no matter what kind of opponent appeared in front of him, he could "handle" it.

"I'll teach that boy a lesson!"

Olajuwon obviously noticed the gap in level between Matt Bullard and Garnett, and immediately took over Matt Bullard's job.

Garnett, who had just scored a goal, was in high spirits at the moment. As the game progressed, he got more and more into the state.

In away games, only some fans in the stands support the Timberwolves. At this time, the cheers of the substitutes of the same team will become very important to the players on the field.

It can be said that apart from mid-to-long-range shooting and the inability to pull out to defend pick-and-rolls, O'Neal has no shortcomings.

On the court, the Timberwolves players began to retreat. Olajuwon stopped briefly when Matt Bullard was serving a baseline kick and said:

The Timberwolves' substitutes were more or less infected by Garnett's emotions at this time, and they started shouting.

The Timberwolves looked for Garnett again on the offensive end, but when Garnett caught the basketball, the Rockets' Olajuwon immediately came behind Garnett.

On the contrary, Wu Dao had a relaxed look on his face. After seeing Garnett get the ball, he actually stood outside the three-point line with his hands on his hips and acted like a spectator.

Matt Bullard's defense was useless in front of Garnett.

The tense transition between offense and defense caused the voices in the stands to stop abruptly.

At the same time, Olajuwon also successfully cut into the inside. Barkley saw the opportunity and hit the ball from Roberts' crotch to the ground.

Roberts, on the other hand, had no way to follow up and help defend Olajuwon. Not to mention, he was also attracted by Barkley when he broke into the inside and helped Martial Pounce to help defend Barkley.

As for Roberts?

But later he discovered that he was too strong and too dominant, so he became sloppy in weight control and training, so that his defensive area shrank a bit.

“Bang!!!”

It's just that Garnett probably doesn't know that Olajuwon of the Rockets has already targeted Garnett.

A center of Olajuwon's caliber has basically no shortcomings.

Rockets offense.

After Olajuwon received the ball, he jumped into the air and dunked. Although Garnett on the side was willing to help defend, the Rockets' offense was too fast. Roberts' mistake directly caused confusion in the Timberwolves' defensive rotation. Garnett There was also some lack of reaction.

The Timberwolves have many outside offensive cores. Even when Wu Dao is not on the court, Marbury and Tom can lead the Timberwolves' offense.

"I'll switch defenses with you."

Garnett hit this ball very easily, just like an ordinary person eating and drinking with ease.

The next moment, Olajuwon's big hand also covered Garnett's head, blocking Garnett's shooting route.

Garnett's fake move failed to deceive Olajuwon. While Olajuwon raised his hand to block Garnett's sight, he quickly pressed his body against Garnett's body, leaving no room for Garnett to move at all.

Dead ball.

"Spread it!" Marbury and Wu Dao shouted almost at the same time, and they both realized something was wrong.

But they reacted quickly, and the Rockets' reaction was also slow. Barkley decisively gave up martial arts and surrounded Garnett.

But as soon as his figure moved, Garnett also quickly shot the ball. Barkley noticed this, turned his body, and quickly ran back to Wu Dao.

Barkley's movement speed is very good. Almost as soon as the basketball comes into play, Barkley returns to his original position.

The powerful mobility is astonishing.

However, Wu Dao had no intention of playing by himself. After the ball was released, Garnett readjusted his position and took position with his back to the basket. Wu Dao also took advantage of the situation and passed the ball back to Garnett.

"Um?!"

Barkley was more or less surprised by Wu Dao's choice of ball:

"real or fake?"

"You don't think that kid can beat Hakeem, do you?"

"If he can score this goal, I will eat it!"

Barkley is actually quite famous for his big mouth. Seeing that the Timberwolves seemed to be planning to let Garnett play in isolation, he couldn't help but laugh at him.

Barkley has actually watched Garnett play. Garnett has gained a lot of fame in recent years. Some media commented that Garnett has the potential to grow into "the league's top fourth position."

It's just that in recent times, Garnett's light has been suppressed by the light of martial arts, and his discussion in the media circle has declined.

Barkley scoffed at the media's comments.

Averaging less than 20 points per game, it is too early to start praising Garnett now.

Although Garnett is very young, he entered the NBA as a high school player in 95. He is now only 22 years old, only the age of someone else's sophomore year, and not even a month has passed since the beginning of 98. Woolen cloth.

Compared to Garnett, Barkley felt that the 19-year-old boy in front of him was much more terrifying.

"."

I don’t know why, when Wu Dao heard Barkley’s words, he couldn’t help but think of the scene where he kissed the donkey’s butt. He also didn’t know whether this basketball can be eaten or whether it can be digested after eating.
Under the basket, Garnett obviously handled the offense more carefully this time. After a blow, Garnett continued to shoulder the ball, and finally chose to turn around, ducking from Olajuwon's side, and in Approaching the bottom line, he successfully found a path in the small space, then jumped up and hooked the ball toward the basket with his backhand from the opposite direction of the basket.

Although Olajuwon did not fully understand Garnett's movements, his excellent defensive qualities allowed him to make the most correct reaction the moment he noticed Garnett's abnormal movement. While suppressing Garnett's offensive space, Olajuwon Zhu Wang also chased and blocked the shot immediately.

"Dang~~"

The difficult backhand layup failed to score successfully after all.

Olajuwon's excellent defensive reaction caused considerable trouble to Garnett and completely interfered with Garnett's shooting.

The basketball just crashed out of the basket.

"Ha ha!"

"I just said I wouldn't go in!"

Barkley had already rushed to the basket when Garnett made a move. He also came from the stage of a young player, and he could see that Garnett had made up his mind to come on his own.

Barkley flew towards the basketball and shouted excitedly.

However, the moment he grabbed the basketball with both hands, a big hand came down from behind him and pressed directly on the basketball.

Barkley was caught off guard, pressed the ball hard with his big hand, and dunked the ball into the basket.

"!!!"

A strong impact came from his back. After landing, Barkley was unsteady on his feet. He used both hands and rushed forward several steps before regaining his balance to avoid falling into a "dog eating shit".

He turned back and looked towards the basket, and happened to see Wu Dao let go of the basket and fall back to the ground.

"Wow—"

On the bench of the Timberwolves, the players were already cheering. Mitchell patted his head with shock on his face. The surrounding media also let out low shouts. Even the Rockets supporters in the stands also exclaimed. Lian Lian couldn't believe what he saw.

Barkley was actually dunked, and his opponent was only a first-year player. Let alone seeing such a scene with his own eyes, he had never even imagined it before.

Wu Dao, who scored the extra dunk, just glanced at Barkley and turned to defend. As he passed Garnett, he slapped Garnett's butt hard and encouraged:
"Well done, just adjust the angle and you can score."

"Charles said you can't score in front of Hakeem and if you score, he'll eat it."

"It's up to you! Kevin!"

Wu Dao understood the essence of the message, and it was too easy for him to take it out of context and distort the facts. After "honestly" passing Barkley's words to Garnett, Wu Dao quickly ran towards the Timberwolves half court.

After hearing this, Garnett quickly recovered from the shock of Barkley being dunked by martial arts, glared at Barkley not far away, and turned back to defend angrily.

Barkley also heard about martial arts, but at this time, could he bother to explain to Garnett?

What Barkley has to do is to score hard on Wu Dao's head to make the fans forget about the scene that just happened!
If his good friend Michael saw the scene just now, he wouldn't know how to laugh at him.

The Rockets launched an offense around Barkley. Barkley's offensive skills are actually very comprehensive. Starting with the basketball, after a simple three-threat facing the basket, Barkley quickly dropped the ball and accelerated to attack the martial arts defense line.

Although he was not able to completely deceive Wu Dao's defense, but relying on his terrifying power, Barkley relied on the impact to withstand Wu Dao's defense and accelerate to the basket. While traveling, he hit the board with a low hand and a high board in the middle distance to force a shot.

Wu Dao didn't react, and the basketball flew past Wu Dao's side, grazed the backboard, and then bounced off the basket, collapsing out of the basket.

But the next second after the basketball fell, Barkley's figure quickly appeared under the basket, slightly under the basketball, and put the ball into the basket.

Seeing Barkley's goal, Wu Dao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. From the beginning, the opponent did not intend to score directly with a high rebound. This guy himself planned to make a second attack.

“The experience of the elderly cannot be underestimated!”

"It is indeed a second-attack ability of historical level."

Realizing this, Wu Dao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
