Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 645: Outbreak? Can't explode!
"With your current abilities, there is no way you can help the Lakers defeat us!"

The words of martial arts kept echoing in Kobe's mind. At this moment, Kobe had even forgotten the situation he was in now.

The smile on his face quickly faded. Looking at Wu Dao standing in front of him, Kobe's eyes were fixed on Wu Dao's eyes, full of stern expression.

If looks could kill, then the current martial arts must be full of blood.

The young Kobe Bryant has the same personality as Michael Jordan. The last thing he can accept on the court is someone saying he can't do it!
Kobe, who dared to challenge Jordan, was also the kind of person with huge self-esteem. The more people said he was not good, the more he had to prove his ability to others.

Now, all Kobe can think about is shutting up Wu Dao. The friendship between the two of them has been completely forgotten by Kobe at this moment.

Before defeating Wu Dao and his Timberwolves, Kobe may not be able to feel relieved about Wu Dao's words.

"I won't let anyone underestimate me!"

"You know what? I'm playing as a substitute for the Lakers not because I'm not strong enough, but because Harris is stupid!"

"He didn't believe that a player of my age could take on the important role of starting."

"I'm better than Eddie! I'm sure of that."

"Don't think that if you become a starter in the Timberwolves and play a few good games, you will be sure of me."

"I'm with the Purple Lakers, and you're with the Minnesota Timberwolves."

"Our starting points are different."

"If you're with the Lakers and I'm with the Timberwolves, you can't be a starter, but I can be a starter in my first year in the league."

Just as Fisher was dribbling toward the frontcourt, Kobe stood in front of Wu Dao and said a lot.

In the words, there was dissatisfaction with Wu Dao, Lakers coach Del Harris, dissatisfaction with his current team status, and jealousy of some of Wu Dao's current achievements.

Kobe is a very complicated person. After becoming a superstar, Kobe often shows his warm and friendly side in front of fans. I am afraid that domestic fans also like Kobe who is approachable and does not wear colored glasses for the Asian market.

But in fact, Kobe, who has not yet matured in private, is a selfish and petty person. In this regard, he and Jordan can be said to be exactly the same.

This can be seen in many things that happened to Kobe.

The Eagle County incident, the break with his parents, and even his relationship with O'Neal in those years all showed this.

Moreover, Kobe is also a person who is not good at hiding his emotions. Generally speaking, his life is too smooth. He is a second-generation basketball player who is very different from many black players at the same time. Moreover, at such a young age, he has already After entering the NBA, his life has always been smooth.

This kind of environment also gave Kobe the capital to "not need to look at other people's faces."

Kobe has always been straightforward when getting along and communicating with others. When he gets along well with you, we are all brothers, but if you don't go along with his wishes, he will immediately put on a different expression.

Obviously, Wu Dao's words stung the young Kobe.

Compared to the brief time they spent together in high school, Budo's current contemptuous attitude made him extremely annoyed.

Wu Dao looked at Kobe's sudden change of expression and felt the "sharp" aura emanating from Kobe, with a bright smile on his face.

Play a game.

What's the point of the hello, me, hello, everyone game?
A little pressure is the most fun.

"is it?"

"Let's try it, Kobe."

"If you can beat me, Coach Del will definitely not be able to ignore you."

"As long as you can beat me, you will have the capital to talk to him!"

Wu Dao staggered his feet back and forth, assuming a defensive posture. At the same time, he hooked his fingers at Kobe and said with a smile.

Wu Dao's words were not purely to dampen Kobe's arrogance. What he said was the truth.

Although it is true that Wu Dao is just a young rookie player, Wu Dao is now quite famous in the league.

Although Kobe is backed by the Los Angeles Lakers, he is also the first and most important rotation on the Lakers' bench.

But in terms of attention, today's martial arts has long surpassed Kobe.

No matter how famous Kobe is, he can't escape his status as a "substitute player". Moreover, in the Lakers, O'Neal and Eddie Jones are bigger names than him. During this period, when fans discuss the Lakers, Kobe will not be mentioned first.

But martial arts is different. Not to mention that the Timberwolves currently rank first in the Western Conference, but the status of martial arts in the team is not comparable to that of Kobe.

When fans mention the Timberwolves, the first player they think of is Wu Dao.

On many occasions, the name of martial arts is mentioned together with players such as Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, and Charles Barkley.

This kind of fame combined with the Timberwolves' current team record, the level of attention martial arts has received is unimaginable for ordinary players.

Not to mention that defeating martial arts will attract the attention of the media and coaches.

Even if you can compete 50-50 with martial arts, you will get a lot of exposure.

The last time a player had a confrontation with martial arts was Michael Jordan!
"call out--"

A soft sound of breaking through the air came from the side. Kobe did not forget to pay attention to the situation on the court when talking to Budao.

When Fisher passed the ball, Kobe was aware of it and quickly grabbed the ball on his side.

The "sharp" aura exuding from Kobe was not only felt by the martial arts directly facing him, but Fisher also noticed Kobe's emotional fluctuations.

As both young players of the Lakers, Fisher knows the first substitute whom the team focuses on developing very well.

Fisher knew that Kobe would challenge the Timberwolves' martial arts when he came on the court.

This was not the first time he had seen this kind of thing.

Kobe has an "old knight" demeanor. Once he gets on the court, he has to fight the opponent's strongest player!

Starting with the basketball, Kobe used his left foot as the pivot foot and moved his right foot laterally, intending to sweep the ball and the basket at low altitude. But at the moment when Kobe swept the ball from the side and faced the basket, Wu Dao raised his left hand slightly and accurately pointed directly under the basketball.

"Da~"

With a soft sound, the basketball in Kobe's hand jumped up and fell out of Kobe's hand. Wu Dao was about to rush to get the ball, but Kobe, who was intercepted, quickly used his body to block Wu Dao's advancing body and controlled the ball in his hands. All this happened in just a blink of an eye. As soon as Wu Dao stepped forward to get close to Kobe, who was carrying the basket, he saw Kobe quickly drop the ball, put his left hand backhand on Wu Dao's lower back, turned around, and wanted to rush past Wu Dao's left side.

He catches the ball in a hurry and is destroyed by the opponent's interception. He regains control of the ball and accelerates to turn and break through.

Kobe's series of remedial measures were accurate and quick, and he also created opportunities for himself to break through.

Kobe's ball protector pressed against Wu Dao's lower back, making it more difficult for Wu Dao to turn around and pursue.

But Wu Dao's defensive experience is not overshadowed by his quick back-turning without the ball. Although he is a little behind, Kobe's influence on Wu Dao has been invisible with Wu Dao's turning movements.

Although Kobe did not look back at Wu Dao's position, Kobe also clearly knew that his little trick was not enough to completely get rid of Wu Dao.

The pace of his feet quickened, and when the martial arts figure appeared in the corner of Kobe's eye, Kobe, who was walking, suddenly stopped, dribbled in a suspended position, and looked up at the basket.

His action also forced Wu Dao to stop. At the same time, Wu Dao, who realized that Kobe was very likely to stop and shoot a jump shot, also took advantage of the situation and pressed forward.

However, Kobe, who was floating and dribbling, had no intention of shooting at all. His silly emergency stop jump shot was difficult to avoid being interfered by the long arms of martial arts.

With his body quickly dwarfed, Kobe swept past Budo's waist, grabbed the ball with one hand, and threw it toward the basket.

“ohhh!!!”

There were low cheers from the stands. Kobe's attack to the basket was so sharp, and this beautiful move also attracted a lot of attention.

Of course, these are all Kobe's own thoughts.

The basketball had just risen to the bottom of the backboard when a tall figure suddenly flew past Kobe and pressed his hands directly on the basketball.

The basketball was directly pressed on the backboard by Wu Dao who flew back. As Wu Dao's figure fell, the basketball also fell.

Kobe's rhythm control was very good, but his final shot selection was not very wise.

When using an underhand throw while moving at high speed, the shooting path will be forced to lengthen, and in order to allow the basketball to enter the basket smoothly, the ball speed of the underhand throw will not be very fast, because if it is fast, there is a high probability that it will collapse into the basket. out.

This kind of throwing is pursuing the feeling of relaxation when the rhythm changes.

But just like this ending method, it also gave martial arts a short gap to catch up.

With martial arts physical talent and jumping ability, he can intercept the basketball in the air.

Kobe Bryant had played with Wu Dao many times. He thought he had gotten rid of Wu Dao's defense, but unexpectedly, the ball was still blocked by Wu Dao.

But Kobe has never been the kind of player to throw the ball and everything will be fine.

There is always a faint sense of crisis in his mind. After shooting, he will not think that he will score the ball, but will actively attack the basket. When the shot fails, he will have a second chance to attack.

This is already a habit that Kobe has developed over his long career.

However, this time Kobe faced martial arts.

After grabbing the shot, Wu Dao received the rebound. The next second, Kobe was already on Wu Dao. Under the watch of the referee, Kobe actually continued to defend, intending to force Wu Dao to leave his original position and give Wu Dao a walking violation.

His idea was good, but he seemed to have forgotten his height and wingspan. Wu Dao, who was double-teamed by Kobe, did not insist on getting the ball.

He raised the ball with both hands above his head to avoid Kobe's counterattack, and then sent the ball from Kobe's head to Marbury, who ran out of space on the outside.

His martial arts skills are higher than Kobe's, and his vision will not be blocked. It is not difficult to hit the ball.

"You fought hard."

"If you play like this for the whole game, your physical strength will be overwhelmed!"

Marbury planned to play quickly, but Fisher's quick response made Marbury give up the idea. Wu Dao was not in a hurry. After teasing Kobe with a smile, he slowly ran towards the frontcourt.

Kobe turned around to defend and followed Wu Dao without saying a word. His position was half a step ahead of Wu Dao, and the aura exuding from his body was full of danger.

The blocking of martial arts will not destroy Kobe's momentum. On the contrary, the strength of martial arts can stimulate Kobe's fighting will.

The stronger the opponent, the more focused he will be, and the stronger his abilities will be!
The Timberwolves players entered the frontcourt one after another. When Wu Dao was approaching the three-point line, Kobe stood on the three-point line less than half a meter in front of him, staring at Wu Dao with an imposing manner.

Wu Dao glanced at Kobe, turned slightly, then raised his hand and asked Marbury for the ball.

The latter understood and lobbed the ball to Wu Dao. After taking possession of the basketball, Wu Dao had no intention of sweeping the ball and turning to face the basket. After the ball dropped, his body leaned directly on Kobe's body.

He has a huge physical advantage against Kobe. It would be a shame if he didn't take advantage of it.

Kobe's strength during this period was simply incomparable to the peak Mamba after gaining weight.

After gaining weight, Kobe was quite dominant when playing players in the same position in the low post. When defending others, Kobe was also very strong at that time. With James's physique, he couldn't hit Kobe with his back and almost had the ball stolen.

I don’t know if it was because James was physically weak or because he was too scared to fight when facing Kobe.

In short, Wu Dao had no pressure at all when facing Kobe. Although there was strong "feedback" from behind, at this level, he could not stop him at all!
Kobe lowered his center of gravity and pressed his arms hard against Wu Dao's back in order to withstand Wu Dao's back blow.

But what is disappointing is that every time the basketball falls in Wu Dao's hands, Kobe's position will be forced inwards by Wu Dao and take a step back.

After being hit on the back four or five times in a row, Fisher, who was watching the show, finally came to his senses and quickly rushed towards Wu Dao, walked around in front of Wu Dao, jumped out of Wu Dao's blind spot, and wanted to cut off Wu Dao. Basketball in hand.

But Wu Dao seemed to have expected it. After another blow, he quickly raised the ball high, turned to face the basket, and shot a fadeaway jumper from the high post.

Wu Dao's high-flying korf ball method prevented Kobe from cutting the ball when the korf ball turned around, and also allowed Fisher, who was double-teamed, to miss the ball.

And Wu Dao's fadeaway jumper also created quite a lot of openings for himself.

Although Kobe took off with all his strength to block the shot, he had just suffered a physical confrontation before taking off, and his jumping ability could not be used at all. He could only watch the basketball fly over his head and fly towards the basket.

Martial arts' projection ability not only has a terrifyingly high hit rate, but is also very stable.

Kobe's defense did not bring any terrible pressure to Wu Dao. Under the watchful eyes of all the fans, the basketball fell steadily into the basket.

The level of attacking and difficult balls in martial arts is among the top of the class.

If Kobe was 15cm taller, 20kg heavier and still able to maintain his athletic ability, he would be a threat to martial arts!

But his name is Kobe, not Duncan, nor Garnett.
