Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 656 The second lineup!

After Michael Jordan scored, Wu Dao responded with the same finishing method. When the fans saw this scene, everyone became excited.

After Jordan's defensive failure, he glanced at Martial Arts, and there was no surprise on his face.

Among the players at the scene, he had a very deep understanding of martial arts. He had fought head-on with the Timberwolves led by martial arts. Jordan also knew the abilities of the young man in front of him.

He estimated that the younger generation in the entire alliance was considered to be the strongest in terms of martial arts abilities.

Even he would not underestimate martial arts in the slightest.

He knew that he had to try his best to defeat this young man.

Offensive and defensive rotation, the East has the ball.

This time, when the basketball was given to Jordan, he did not choose to do it himself. Facing Wu Dao's defense, Jordan chose to score suddenly and sent a back pass to Grant Hill who was cutting in the air. After receiving the ball, the latter directly pulled up the shot and sent the ball into the net.

Is Michael Jordan fake? Are you starting to fear the tough defense of martial arts?
This is of course an impossible thing. He chose to score suddenly just because Michael sensed that Grant Hill had a better chance and a big gap appeared.

Moreover, providing assists to teammates can also in turn enhance one's own breakthrough threat.

A scorer who only knows how to rush to the basket without thinking is nothing to be afraid of.

A player obviously has two hands, but a player who cannot pass can only be regarded as having one hand.
Jordan's wonderful pass does not lower his status in the hearts of fans. On the contrary, because of his versatility and excellence, the cheers he receives are even louder.

The West also responded quickly. After Kidd dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he quickly passed the ball to Wu Dao on the side. Wu Dao received the ball in the elbow area and acted as a three-threat, preparing for a breakthrough.

The fans thought that this goal would be another one-on-one match between Wu Dao and Jordan. However, what everyone did not expect was that Malone, who should have been on the inside, suddenly lifted up and gave Wu Dao a left position. pick-and-roll.

Jordan was slightly surprised by the appearance of Malone. At the moment when he was distracted, the martial artist in front of him suddenly accelerated in disguise and took a fierce step in the direction of Malone's pick-and-roll.

Seeing this, Jordan quickly went around Ma Long and was about to go to the front of Wu Dao's advance route to intercept Wu Dao's breakthrough when he suddenly found that Wu Dao stopped, changed direction again, and continued to advance from the right.

The direction of the martial arts breakthrough has also changed. He who could have gone straight to the basket is now moving quickly towards the bottom line.

Jordan didn't think much and quickly rushed towards Wu Dao. At the same time, Shawn Kemp, who was guarding the inside in the East, also noticed the sudden Wu Dao and rushed towards Wu Dao again.

Both he and Jordan saw Wu Dao's intention, and they both guessed that Wu Dao would most likely choose a jump shot from the mid-range to finish.

But when the players in the Eastern Conference focused on Wu Dao, Malone quickly cut towards the basket.

Uncle Mu was actually aware of Malone's actions, but he did not choose to let O'Neal go to intercept Malone's movement.

Because he knew that Wu Dao, a young man with a hot temper, had a conflict with Ma Long.

If it were him, he would never pass the ball to Malone if he could score.

In fact, some of them were a little surprised by Malone's pick-and-roll just now. No one expected that Malone would actually assist an opponent who had broken his ribs.

Traveling quickly to the mid-range, Wu Dao jumped up, grabbed the ball with both hands, and suddenly "smashed" it toward Malone behind Shawn Kemp.

The ball was so fast that it instantly passed over Shawn Kemp's head and fell into Malone's hands.

The latter took the ball, jumped up directly, grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed the ball into the net.

It cannot be said that Wu Dao's pass is so gorgeous or exquisite, it is just an ordinary breakthrough combination.

But when the fans saw this, they still burst into cheers.

The cooperation between Wu Dao and Ma Long is also a highlight of the All-Star Game, although this highlight is far less exciting than the fight between Wu Dao and Ma Long at that time.

"It's a good pass."

At this time, Ma Long could no longer pretend to ignore Wu Dao. The indifferent Ma Long lowered his voice and praised Wu Dao in a low voice when he passed by Wu Dao.

Judging from his appearance, he was a little coy and reserved. It seemed that saying this had given Ma Long a lot of courage.

Malone is not a very generous person, but on the court, he is a person who can sacrifice himself for victory.

Being teammates with such people, Martial Arts will not bring emotions and relationships off the court to the court.

Without saying anything, Wu Dao just smiled when faced with Ma Long's praise.

The relationship between the two of them cannot be improved at all because of this simple cooperation. They are just able to talk to each other.

Jordan immediately smiled on his face after seeing Wu Dao's goal. Although the Western Conference scored successfully, Jordan's appreciation for martial arts became even stronger.

He likes players with quality, and if that player still has brains, so much the better.

Jordan is a harsh person, especially in the sport of basketball. He is also harsh on his teammates and opponents.

There are not many opponents who can impress him.

The young martial artist has caught his eye.

The next few attacks in the Eastern Conference were still led by Jordan. He was not eager to give martial arts a look, but sent assists to his teammates one after another to let them "flower" first.

This is actually Jordan's playing habit. When his teammates can stabilize the situation, he is more willing to help his teammates. Unless his competitiveness comes up and he starts to get into trouble, otherwise Jordan is actually a very team player. people.

Under Jordan's connection, the Eastern Conference's offense was fairly smooth, and Wu Dao was also very inclined to defend Jordan. He only guarded against Jordan's finishing, and did not devote any extra energy to Jordan's passing.

Because the Western Conference stars who teamed up with him are all good players, and they played very seriously and hard today.

All-stars.

If they are beaten one-on-one by the opposing star, where will their face go?

Under the full defense of O'Neal, Malone and others, the Eastern Conference's offensive fluency is sufficient, but the success rate is not impressive.

On the Western side, Martial Arts are also responsible for the distribution of ball rights.

Kidd is really selfless when he plays sometimes, and Wu Dao realized this firsthand today. Seeing that he was going well in martial arts, he certainly didn't mind having his job taken away, and he willingly took up the role of a "real" point guard.

In addition to dribbling the ball into the frontcourt, the rest of the work is left to Budao.

In his heart, Wu Dao also wanted to perform well, but he could not neglect his teammates, so he played the "Liu Xing Distribution Method". One for Malone, one for me; one for O'Neal, one for me; one for Payton, one for me; Huh? Kidd, you're not going to fight, are you? Then get another one yourself.

Wu Dao's offensive stability is very strong, and Wu Dao does not have any intention to save physical energy in such a game. As the game progresses, Wu Dao's personal score quickly reaches double figures, and Jordan, who is facing him, also has a lower score. Opened some.

Although the assist data of the two are similar, the situation on the court is beginning to tilt towards the West. The offensive and defensive rhythm of the two teams was very fast. Although the players on both sides played very seriously, it was the All-Star Game after all, so their movements were relatively restrained when defending.

Each of these players are top players. To defend such players requires some small moves to affect them. Once these defensive moves are restrained, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the entire game becomes very fast.

Under such intensity of the game, Jordan and Wu Dao simply couldn't guard each other, and the confrontation between the two turned into a mutual explosion.

After all, Wu Dao's physical fitness is better than Jordan's, and he has some advantages in scoring data.

After the first quarter, the West led its opponent by 36 points at 31:5. Wu Dao's individual score in a single quarter reached 16 points. Although he only had 2 rebounds, he also had 5 assists. The statistics are quite gorgeous.

On the other hand, Michael Jordan's personal score will be in double figures, his rebounds will be one more than Wu Dao's, and his 5 assists will be the same as Wu Dao's. In terms of single quarter statistics, Jordan was suppressed by Wu Dao.

However, this does not mean that Jordan is not as good as Wu Dao. It is just because Jordan played more restrained in the first quarter and used more passes to create opportunities for his teammates. However, his teammates were not strong enough and had no choice.

Wu Dao's wonderful performance left a deep impression on the fans. Although Wu Dao's personal score was less than half of the team's, in the fans' senses, they only remember Wu Dao scoring in front of Jordan.

The easy balls that O'Neal and Malone scored were completely forgotten when they turned around.

Amid cheers from the fans, players from both teams returned to the field.

"Well done! Martial Arts!"

"That arrogant Michael was suppressed by you!"

"I was silently remembering the scores of the two of you. You scored 16 points! That Michael only had 10 points, hahahahaha!"

As soon as Wu Dao came out, Garnett walked up and said to Wu Dao with a big smile. When he said this, his face was full of excitement. Garnett was also very happy that his teammates on the same team were able to suppress Jordan.

"People didn't attack very seriously."

"I'm playing ball for my teammates."

Facing Garnett's slightly exaggerated praise, Wu Dao said humbly. He was not blind. When the two of them were talking, there was a camera filming them. If he acted too crazy, the backlash would be severe.

The All-Star Game is different from the regular season. There are too many media, and they are filming both on and off the court, making it look like a variety show.

"That doesn't matter, I was suppressed by you anyway!"

"You should have a good rest and watch my performance later."

"We in the West will definitely win!"

Garnett ignored the sweat on Wu Dao's jersey, hugged Wu Dao's shoulders and said with a smile. Seeing Garnett's happy look, Wu Dao just smiled helplessly.

Coach Philip was very satisfied with the results achieved by the players in the first quarter and suppressed the starting lineup led by Jordan, so the pressure on them in this game will be less.

Taking advantage of the break, Philip began to adjust the team's lineup.

All five players who played previously were replaced, and the next players from the Western Conference were replaced by Duncan, Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Nick Van Exel, and Eddie Jones.

Among them, Nick Van Exel plays the 1st position, while Duncan and Garnett are at the 5th and 4th positions respectively. Of course, the positions of Duncan and Garnett are vague and not very clear.

Philip's All-Star lineup is quite young, but there are some problems with distribution.

Not only did a famous veteran like David Robinson fail to start, he was even absent from the bench. Although David Robinson is a polite and modest man, there was still a flash of displeasure on his face after hearing such an arrangement.

Philip was keenly aware of this and ignored Kobe and others who were gathered together to discuss how to fight. Instead, he sat next to David Robinson and whispered in the other person's ear:
"Although it is the All-Star Game, as players and coaches, we should strive for victory, right? David."

Not knowing what Phillip was going to say, David Robinson just nodded indifferently and said nothing.

"When the game is most critical, I actually trust the veterans more."

"David, you are our last insurance for victory."

"Only at the most critical moment will he appear!"

David Robinson did not eat the pie painted by Philip in one bite. He was not a 12.3-year-old kid who could be "coaxed" so easily.

But what he wants is not necessarily to play in the starting lineup or in the second team.

What he wants is respect.

Phillip's skill at drawing pie is average, but the fact that the other party will talk to him about this shows that the other party still values ​​and respects him. For a veteran like him, this is enough.

"I understand, Coach Phillip."

David Robinson smiled gently, and then his eyes fell on Duncan.

Duncan is his junior brother, and he believes that his junior brother will definitely surprise fans in other cities!

In the East, it is slightly different from the five up and five down in the West. Jordan is still left on the court, and the inside players are replaced by Rick Schmitz and Jason Williams. As for the back line On, Reggie Miller and Glen Rice were on again.

As soon as this lineup appeared, the players in the Western Conference were more or less stunned.

Looking at it this way, doesn't Michael play the No. 1 position?

Reggie Miller has the ability to hold the ball, but he is not an outstanding player. As for Glen Rice, this is a relatively standard third position. Compared with the two of them, Jordan has more skills and experience. Suitable for position 1.

With the lineup distributed like this, the Eastern Conference's outside offensive firepower seems a bit scary.

Kobe is a rookie, Nick Van Exel is a 185cm small point guard, and Eddie Jones is an unstable "little Kobe".

The Lakers' "All-Star guard line" is somewhat dwarfed by these true All-Stars in the Eastern Conference.

Philip on the sidelines saw the opponent's lineup and shouted towards the court:

"Play inside, play more inside!"
