Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 643: You are as strong as you can be!
O'Neal's peak period is generally believed by fans to be during the Lakers period around 2000.

There is no doubt that O'Neal at that stage was the most dominant period in terms of points per game, rebounds and other statistics, attendance rate and game performance.

But the fact that O'Neal entered his peak period in 2000 does not mean that O'Neal was weak in 98.

In fact, at this time, O'Neal has grown into the most dominant center in the league. He is recognized as the most valuable super center in the league.

The young Ben Wallace is no match for O'Neal, which is actually within the expected range of martial arts.

As the Lakers began to retreat, the Timberwolves players still acted very calm and calm. The violent dunk by the Sharks just now did not have any impact on the Timberwolves players. Their mentality was as calm as ever.

The Timberwolves' attack still found the martial arts standing at the right elbow. Although Budo is the kind of player who can attack anywhere on the field, his offensive sweet spot is in the right half.

Compared with the success rate in the right half, the efficiency of martial arts attacks from the left area will be weaker.

This is a shortcoming that cannot be regarded as a shortcoming. The trainer in the Timberwolves has also reminded Wu Dao that privately Wu Dao's training in weak areas has indeed been strengthened, but when it comes to playing on the court, Wu Dao will still choose most of the time. Attack the ball in the right zone.

As soon as the basketball started, Wu Dao took a big step to sweep the ball to the right, and then quickly dropped the ball with his right hand under the gaze of Rick Fox. The next moment he reset his steps, Wu Dao continuously dribbled the ball under the crotch, and then suddenly suspended the ball. The ball scissor step feints.

Before Rick Fox could react, Wu Dao had already accelerated the drop of the ball, leaving the stunned Rick Fox behind.

Wu Dao's passing was too fast and too sudden. Before the Lakers' insiders could even react to what was happening, Wu Dao had already reached the basket with one hand holding the ball.

By the time O'Neal noticed Wu Dao's figure and quickly stepped forward to defend, it was already too late.

Under O'Neal's blocking action, Wu Dao reached the basket and "raised his hands to burn the sky". After physically confronting O'Neal in the air, he lightly threw the basketball in his hand toward the basket.

"Whoosh!" As the martial arts fell back to the ground, the basketball also fell into the net with a crisp sound.

O'Neal, who fell back to the ground, saw Wu Dao landing steadily after a layup in front of him, and couldn't help but glance at Wu Dao a few more times.

Wu Dao's physical confrontation ability is much better than O'Neal imagined. Originally, O'Neal thought that Wu Dao would be knocked over by his own strength. Even if he was lucky enough to be able to send the ball into the basket, Wu Dao would be in the audience across the United States. There is a big embarrassment in front of you.

But unexpectedly, Wu Dao not only easily sent the ball into the basket, but even after such a physical confrontation, Wu Dao's posture and movement deformed very little.

You are not afraid that your opponent will be able to shoot unexpectedly. What you are afraid of is that your opponent will not only be able to shoot unexpectedly, but he will also be able to fight physically.

Among the people, there are many people who can copy the moves of Jordan and Kobe, and there are many people who can shoot three-pointers as accurately as Curry.

In terms of technical movements alone, many domestic professions "look" even worse than those folk greats.

But why can’t those folk greats step onto the professional stage?
Because of physical confrontation.

Some professional players seem to have rough skills. That's because under high-intensity confrontation, they can only use such rough technical moves to avoid mistakes.

Regardless of the beautiful skills of some folk masters, once they are challenged, their technical movements will be completely deformed.

A truly strong person is a player who can maintain a certain quality of technical movements under high-intensity physical confrontation.

And martial arts are like that. Coordination and confrontation ability are sometimes much more important than so-called skills in the NBA.

In the stands, some Timberwolves fans burst into cheers after seeing Budo score easily over O'Neal.

O'Neal is one of the top centers in the league today. Wu Dao can score points "at a leisurely pace" on O'Neal's head, which shows Wu Dao's terrifying strength.

Even if Wu Dao is not a player in the same position as O'Neal at this moment, some fans will subconsciously compare Wu Dao with O'Neal.

In this world, there are powerful fans no matter what field you are in.

And it is very intuitive that O'Neal "seems" cannot suppress martial arts.

The offense and defense alternated, and the Lakers quickly launched a counterattack.

O'Neal has never been the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses. If Wu Daoqiang takes a goal, he will also "eat" it back from the head of a Timberwolves player.

This time, O'Neal did not continue squatting on the side of the basket. Instead, he quickly lifted up and pulled out to the mid-range on the left side of the free throw line.

Both Wallace and Marbury noticed O'Neal's movements and thought that O'Neal wanted to provide Fisher with a high screen, so that he could turn around and cut to the basket.

But what was unexpected was that O'Neal, who was in the middle distance, quickly stopped and took position with his back to the basket.

"?"

"Catch the ball in a place like that?"

O'Neal was some distance away from the basket. Tom and Ben Wallace noticed O'Neal's movements and neither chose to continue chasing.

As we all know, O'Neal has no mid-range shot, and O'Neal receiving the ball in that position is not scary at all.

Wallace waited until O'Neal actually got the basketball before he leaned forward. He put his hands on O'Neal's back and kept his center of gravity very low. This not only made it easier for the opponent to exert force, but also made it easier to respond to O'Neal's breakthrough in time. react.

"Bang!!"

O'Neal backed him up. Wallace tried his best but was still pushed back by O'Neal. The young Wallace was unable to withstand O'Neal's terrifying strength.

Seeing that O'Neal seemed to be planning to beat Wallace, Tom didn't dare to let O'Neal play like this, so he quickly stepped forward and planned to double-team and steal.

But at this moment, O'Neal made an offensive choice that surprised everyone.

O'Neal, who was playing behind the ball once, suddenly put his hands on the ball in front of his chest. Under Wallace's defense, he suddenly put his back to the basket and his shoulders, and then suddenly turned around and shot a jumper.

A very "Jordan"-style offensive choice actually appeared on O'Neal, which surprised everyone.

"Uh-huh!!!"

But when the sound of a basketball hitting the net sounded, the stunned fans suddenly cheered in surprise.

In the impression of the audience, a "rough guy" like O'Neal who "relies on his body" should not have such an operation. It is precisely because of this stereotype in the audience's mind that when O'Neal scores a goal, the audience will feel Such a surprise. O'Neal, who scored the goal, was also quite satisfied with his performance. He shook his head and ran towards the Lakers half court, looking quite happy.

"You may not believe it, but I used to play defender."

"You should be lucky. If I hadn't changed my position later, I would have crushed you myself."

"You can do it, and so can I!"

When the Lakers returned to defense, Wu Dao also ran slowly towards the frontcourt. When O'Neal passed by Wu Dao, he smiled and talked to Wu Dao to demonstrate.

O'Neal's excellent body often makes people ignore his delicate skills.

Just like many ball blind people will say when mentioning Yao Ming, "226 means he is tall."

In fact, whether it is Yao Ming or O'Neal, their strong physical talents are their assets, but what pushed their careers to this level must be the result of the combination of body and technology.

Both are indispensable.

O'Neal's action was more of a demonstration, barely a "response" to Budao's goal just now.

"hehe."

O'Neal, this fat guy, made martial arts laugh, and it was quite interesting to play against an opponent with such a personality.

Between the alternation of offense and defense, the Timberwolves launched another attack. Seeing that Wu Dao's touch was still excellent today, Marbury planned to let Wu Dao fight more while Wu Dao's hands were hot.

The games during this period were like this. Whenever Wu Dao started to score consecutive goals, Marbury would keep feeding Wu Dao the ball. It was not until Wu Dao struck or took the initiative to play the ball that Marbury would think about it. Find other offensive points to add some "variety" to the Timberwolves' offense.

The same goes for today's game. After Marbury approached the top of the arc and saw Fisher's serious defense, he did not hesitate and quickly gave the ball to Wu Dao.

After getting the ball, Wu Da grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled it behind him. At the same time, he used his right foot as the pivot foot and stepped his left foot in front of the right. While turning slightly sideways, he also supported the ball protector and pressed against Rick Fox's body. above.

When the ball fell on the right side, Wu Dao's body was also leaning on Rick Fox. Just when Rick Fox thought that Wu Dao would speed up and attack him, the basketball in Wu Dao's hand suddenly passed through Wu Dao's crotch and hit him inside. On the floor under K. Fox's crotch, the message was passed toward the inside.

"?!"

Looking back hurriedly, Rick Fox happened to see the basketball passed from Budao's hands into the hands of Garnett in the mid-range.

Garnett caught the ball with his back to the basket, like a small forward, quickly swept the ball to face the frame, and blasted the ball to his right. The next moment, Garnett made a deft back turn around the world, passing Campbell who was guarding him, and then After Garnett moved into the paint, he took a big step towards the basket, then quickly shot with a lowhand layup.

The deft attack on the basket easily tore apart Campbell's defense and added another goal for the Timberwolves.

"I've played guard before!"

After scoring, Garnett glanced at O'Neal, who arrived belatedly, and laughed and taunted.

It turns out that what O'Neal just said to Martial Arts was also heard by Garnett. O'Neal's rough back-to-the-shoulder turnaround jumper seemed too overwhelming to Garnett.

He wants to "teach" O'Neal what delicate technique is!
"Tsk!"

When O'Neal heard this, he smacked his lips and glanced at Garnett with some displeasure.

Soon, the Lakers launched a counterattack. Fisher still planned to find O'Neal as an offensive point, but the Timberwolves were keeping a close eye this round, and the risk of passing the ball was not small. And Marbury's defensive pressure was very strong, so Fisher could only pass the ball to Eddie Jones, who was relatively open on the side.

After "Little Kobe" got the ball, he played very decisively when facing Tom's defense. After lifting the ball and making a feint, he dropped the ball with his left hand and quickly accelerated. Relying on his terrifying physical fitness, Eddie Jones almost It fell to the floor, but quickly passed by Tom.

Eddie Jones, who reached the basket at the speed of light, hooked the ball toward the basket with a reverse basket. The basketball rubbed on the backboard, but it hit the basket and failed to fall into the net smoothly. .

As soon as the rebound appeared, Garnett and Wallace quickly blocked the left and right positions, and then jumped to grab the rebound. However, just when Garnett was about to grab the ball, O'Neal's roar was heard. There was an explosion in their ears.

The next second, both Garnett and Wallace felt the huge power coming from behind. The next second, O'Neal's figure appeared from behind the two of them, squeezed them away, and grabbed the ball with both hands. Dunk the ball into the basket.

"Bang!"

A loud noise was heard in the court, and the basketball stand seemed to be overwhelmed and vibrated violently.

O'Neal fell from the air, roared at Wallace and Garnett, and after punching his chest, he showed off his biceps in front of reporters' cameras near the baseline.

The fans were shocked by the terrifying physical fitness, and amazing cheers suddenly erupted from the stands.

As strong as a monster.
The fans looked at O'Neal showing off his power on the court, and there was only one thought in their hearts. But the cheers from the stadium audience soon turned into exclamations.

Garnett, who was dunked by O'Neal, didn't want to see O'Neal's arrogance after scoring, and quickly took the ball to the baseline.

While the audience was screaming in surprise, the basketball had already come into Wu Dao's hands. After taking possession of the basketball, Wu Dao also quickly accelerated and rushed towards the Lakers half court.

Wu Dao's quick move quickly got Marbury's response.

At the same time, the Lakers' Rick Fox and Fisher also noticed Wu Dao's movements, and they quickly chased after Wu Dao.

Rick Fox and Fisher caught up in time. When Wu Dao crossed the center line, the two of them were already stuck behind Wu Dao. Rick Fox non-stop circled in front of Wu Dao, and finally got in front of Wu Dao. When Wu Dao approached the free throw line, he circled in front of Wu Dao.

Successfully formed a pincer attack.

Seeing this scene, Wu Dao's speed suddenly slowed down, and he seemed to be planning to give up the fast break. He turned the ball in the direction and left the paint area from the left, as if he was planning to organize the defense well.

The martial arts movements also made Rick Fox and Fisher relax.

Fisher looked at Marbury who was following up and defended him, while Rick Fox chased Wu Dao and left the paint area.

But when Wu Dao slowly dribbled the ball to the middle distance, as Rick Fox stepped forward to follow up, Wu Dao holding the ball suddenly changed his rhythm, turned around at high speed, and accelerated to leave Rick Fox behind. .

Rick Fox felt a dark shadow flash around him. When he turned around, he saw Wu Dao grabbing the ball with one arm and slamming the ball into the basket.
