Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

The game between the Timberwolves and the Rockets entered the fourth quarter. As soon as it started, Wu Dao scored a three-pointer directly under Barkley's guard.

The strong personal ability made the Houston audience roar in low voices.

"Your defense seems to have weakened a bit."

"It's not as tight as the previous sections."

After Wu Dao scored, he looked at Barkley directly in front of him. Not long after the fourth quarter started, Barkley wiped his sweat off the court before walking back to the court.

But in just such a short time, Barkley's face and head were covered with fine beads of sweat. The jersey on his body was pressed tightly against his body. The spotlight fell from the roof, and the light shone down. Buckley's body reflected crystal light.

"Ho ho."

Barkley gasped and glanced at Wu Dao without saying a word. Without saying any nonsense, he just walked through Wu Dao and ran towards the Timberwolves half court.

When passing by Wu Dao's side, Buckley's shoulder pushed hard against Wu Dao's body, and the huge force pushed Wu Dao backward.

Wu Dao shook his shoulders and stood firm. He was not angry, but immediately followed Barkley's footsteps and ran back towards his own half.

After taking possession of the basketball, there was no need for martial arts to greet his teammates. The moment he completed the steal, Marbury and Tom were already rushing towards the frontcourt, and their respective opponents were also starting to speed up before them. The next second, he followed closely.

Once the ball exploded, Barkley dropped the ball and hit him from behind. Garnett raised his arms high and relied on his own strong strength to withstand Barkley's back hit.

Of course, he still has to remind him of things that should be reminded.

The Rockets players tried to reach out to steal the interference when Wu Dao crossed the three-point line, but the advancing Wu Dao was just like a leisurely stroll, passing the opponent easily, and at the same time, the speed of dribbling the ball was also improved, which was very fast. He quickly crossed the center line and rushed towards the Rockets half court.

Starting with the basketball, Martial Arts didn't do any fancy tricks, just a simple glide and dunk, and dunked the ball into the basket.

At the same time, the Rockets player who entered the basket early was also attracted by Wu Dao and made a layup towards Wu Dao.

As he approached the free throw line, Wu Dao realized that he was being double-teamed by two people. At the same time, Wu Dao's peripheral vision also glanced at Tom who was cutting into the basket.

5:0 in a single quarter.

On the sidelines of the court, Tang Shuai couldn't help but become a little anxious when he saw his team losing points continuously under the attack of the Timberwolves.

Eddie Johnson's defensive target was naturally Marbury, who advanced the fastest with the ball, but when Marbury sensed someone was chasing him, he deliberately slowed down a bit when advancing.

"Bang!!"

When Wu Dao saw this scene, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his body reacted quickly. He turned around and rushed towards Barkley, planning to double-team with Garnett.

Barkley's passing height is not too high for Martial Arts, and it is within his "radiation range".

When Wu Dao was about to approach the Rockets' three-point line, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

A huge sound came from the court, and Wu Dao, who scored again, pointed in the direction of Marbury with a smile on his face.

The passing opportunity was not very good, and Wu Dao had no intention of passing the ball. He took the ball and began to push back quickly towards the frontcourt.

But at this time, Tang Shuai cannot call a timeout. Now that the timeout is called, there will be no timeout to call when the decisive stage is reached.

Wu Dao and Tom celebrated the goal by high-fiving, and then quickly started to return to defense.

The Timberwolves, who got the rebound, quickly switched offense. Wu Dao and Marbury rushed towards the frontcourt in an instant. When the Timberwolves started a fast break, only Eddie Johnson, who came on the bench, could catch up with the Rockets. Just one person.

The Rockets lost five points in a row. The players saw the score between the two teams getting bigger and bigger. Even these experienced old guys couldn't help but become a little impatient at this moment.

Barkley caught the ball and hit the back, turned around and missed the shot.

When Wu Dao comes up to attack from a flank, there will naturally be an open man on the outside of their rocket.

"Snapped!"

His actions were naturally seen by Barkley. When Wu Dao was about to approach, Barkley quickly lifted the ball with both hands and passed it directly towards his teammates outside the three-point line.

But when the basketball flew over Budo's head, Budo, who was heading towards Barkley at high speed, suddenly jumped back.

"Resist it!"

The Timberwolves have all their advantages.

Wu Dao, who was holding the ball, paused, spotted the crotch of the player in front, and quickly hit the ball to the ground.

But the actual situation surprised everyone. Wu Dao had no intention of playing by himself and used a pass to resolve the Rockets' double-team.

Rockets players all think that martial arts have reached this position, and they will not shrink from the defense and will definitely use an amazing dunk to demoralize the Rockets.

When the Rockets attacked, Barkley went low to get the ball. The person guarding Barkley was still Garnett. However, when the basketball was given to Barkley, Wu Dao could clearly detect that Barkley's steps were a little weak, unlike the previous few. Those back-to-back hits were so real.

Tomjanovich stood on the edge of the court and shouted towards the court at the top of his lungs: "Slow down!"

The Rockets took themselves too seriously, so much so that there was such a huge loophole in the fast-paced transition between offense and defense.

After all, Tomjanovich chose to believe in his players and believed that his experienced players could adjust themselves at such a critical moment.

A pair of long arms quickly grabbed the basketball in the air.

Although Wu Dao jumped backwards, his exaggerated physical fitness still allowed Wu Dao to successfully block the basketball and grab the ball in his hands.

The basketball bounced into Tom's hands, and the latter quickly rose up with the ball, approached the basket, and dunked the ball into the net.

But unfortunately, the basketball still crashed out of the basket, and this time, the rebound was in Garnett's hands.

The situation was not very good for them originally, and losing points one after another made it worse.

Dameng was not in a good position to grab the offensive rebounds at the first time. He could only rely on his physical advantage to find the right time to click the basketball in order to make a tip-in.

When Eddie Johnson caught up, Marbury passed the basketball in his hand towards Wu Dao who was following up from the side.

"Don't be anxious, slow down!"

"Don't let your rhythm be carried away by the Timberwolves!"

"Hit our own."

Tomjanovich's voice still fell into the ears of every Rockets player even in such a noisy arena.

Sure enough, after his reminder, the Rockets' offensive rhythm in this round was really suppressed.

Basketball, quickly transmitted between Rockets players, quietly looking for gaps in the Timberwolves' defense. After the basketball was passed several times, it was finally given to Olajuwon. The latter took the ball, turned sideways in the left half of the half, grabbed the ball with his left hand and sent the ball to the basket with a small hook.

"Shh!"

Olajuwon's personal strength was strong and he easily sent the ball into the Nets.

But before the audience in the stands could cheer, the Timberwolves hit the baseline quickly and directly sounded the horn for counterattack.

After realizing this, all the Rockets players quickly returned to defense. The next second after the Rockets players moved smoothly without the ball, the basketball was also sent to Martial Arts by Marbury.

Barkley, who had just ran to stand in front of Wu Dao, had no chance to breathe at all. He saw Wu Dao immediately drop the ball and attack after getting the basketball.

"Oh!"

The bodies of the two collided, and Wu Dao was not afraid of the physical confrontation with Barkley at all. After taking the initiative to attack Barkley's defense, Wu Dao took advantage of the situation and paused, blasted the ball back, and retreated to the outside of the three-point line. He paused and looked up at the basket.

Facing Wu Dao's offensive, Barkley could only raise his center of gravity and chase and block shots. However, Wu Dao, who was holding the ball, also quickly changed direction in advance. His body instantly passed Barkley's side and headed towards the basket. .

Today's Barkley is no longer the same person he was when he was young, and due to his huge physical exertion, he simply cannot make continuous weight changes like martial arts. Even if he can do it, it is impossible to catch up with the speed of martial arts.

Looking back, Barkley watched Wu Dao drive to the basket with the ball, and under Olajuwon's defense, he sent the ball into the net with a high rebound.

"oh!!!!"

When the Timberwolves bench saw that Wu Dao actually scored the ball under high-intensity defense, there was a burst of cheers.

Houston's home fans also wailed after seeing this scene, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

At the beginning of the Timberwolves' fourth quarter, the young man broke out completely, scoring consecutive goals and opening the score in an instant.

Not to mention Houston fans, even the Rockets players on the court now feel heavy-hearted at this moment, overwhelmed by the huge pressure brought by the powerful martial arts offensive.

Barkley was breathing rapidly, and the huge physical exertion was not noticeable when he was in high spirits, but now, it was extremely obvious. He had not felt this kind of feeling for a long, long time.

The last time I felt like this was during consecutive high-intensity games in the playoffs.

But in today's game against the Timberwolves, a physical monster like Barkley also felt physically weak.

Sometimes even a player like Barkley has to admit that time is not forgiving.

He is obviously not even forty years old yet, and his physical condition is completely different from when he was in his twenties.

Of course, Barkley's physical problems ultimately stem from the opponent he faced today. Strictly speaking, Wu Dao doesn't run a lot, and his historical level running ability is still different from Curry's.

But even if Budo's running volume cannot be compared with a player like Curry, his running volume is far beyond that of the traditional No. 3 player in this era.

Moreover, it is when Wu Dao attacks with the ball that he tortures the defenders the most. He is physically gifted, fast, powerful and has excellent shooting. If you want to defend Wu Dao, you must not only keep up with his footsteps, but also be able to withstand his strength.

And in order to affect Wu Dao's shooting percentage and find ways to force Wu Dao into the inside, Barkley will also take the initiative to provide some physical confrontation when defending.

This also intensified his physical exertion.

The most terrible thing is that Barkley is not like a player like Rodman who only needs to be responsible for defense and grabbing rebounds.

On top of doing these things, he also needs to take on offensive responsibilities.

And Garnett, who he has to face in the low post, is not an easy character to deal with. To break through Garnett's defense, Barkley often needs to exert a lot of physical strength.

With this kind of all-encompassing play, Barkley can resist until now and can be called an iron man. Martial Arts, who is younger than him, will not play like Barkley. At most, he will protect the backcourt rebounds and rarely touch the offensive rebounds.

In terms of rebounding ability, Wu Dao really cannot compare with Barkley.

But
Barkley seems not to realize that every player has something he is good at. If the team wants to win, the players need to do what they are best at.

As the ace core of the team, playing all-inclusive games can certainly give the players a sense of security, and fans will also like the "all-around" ace.

But can this style of play really bring the team a championship?

Dayao would put Barkley in his "All-time First Team" player list for a reason. In the Jordan era, Barkley was definitely the player closest to Jordan in terms of strength.

The difference between Barkley and Jordan is that as the core of the team, Barkley takes on too many things and is too cumbersome.

Barkley once boasted that Rodman was the rebounding champion. If he wanted to, he could easily surpass Rodman. The reason why he failed to win the rebounding champion was simply because he still wanted to attack.

Although the words were said in a joking tone, is this not the truth?
Barkley's versatility is recognized throughout the league.

As strong as Jordan, he has several masters who focus on a certain field at hand.

Barkley, will he not need that kind of teammate? !

The Houston Rockets, from Wu Dao's point of view, do not have the potential to compete for the championship even if there are no injuries!

Falling at the hands of the Jazz for two consecutive years is by no means something that can be encompassed by the simple word "injury."

The Rockets players, whose point difference was quickly widened, continued to try to attack. Eddie Johnson attacked Tom's defense and made a jump shot from the mid-range.

The basketball crashed out of the basket, and many players under the basket fought for the rebound. Wu Dao, who rushed to the inside, took advantage, and then the Timberwolves quickly pushed back.

This time, when Marbury noticed that the Rockets' players were focused on defense, he stepped forward and accelerated. As he approached the free throw line, he stopped and made a jump shot, and the basketball hit the net.

The score difference widened further, and Wu Dao also looked towards the Rockets' rest area.

His eyes fell on Clyde Drexler who was on the bench at this time.

The Houston Rockets are the Big Three!
Although Clyde Drexler has entered the end of his career, he is a Hall of Fame player, and his personal abilities are far beyond what ordinary substitute players can match.

The remnant Rockets lack a super breakthrough player who can make the final decision online.

The game between the Rockets and Timberwolves quickly lost its suspense.

This twilight Galaxy battleship suddenly collapsed in the fourth quarter, just like the national team in those years.

The physical fitness of the Rockets stars was blown away by the young people of the Timberwolves. In order to protect Olajuwon, who had just recovered from injury, the Rockets replaced Dameng when the point difference between the two teams widened to 13 points. field, officially announced the surrender of guns.

113: 97.

The Timberwolves beat the Rockets.
