Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 658 Two stubborn donkeys!

Kobe's attitude and strength were recognized by Michael Jordan. Facing Kobe, Jordan also showed his best form.

Kobe was very young, and when facing an opponent like Jordan, his desire to win was extremely strong. Even if this was an All-Star game, Kobe still dared to make moves when defending Jordan, and his defensive intensity was quite high.

Faced with Kobe's defensive actions that were slightly outside the "norm", Jordan did not show his hands to the referee, not even a word of nonsense.

Even, Kobe's tough defense made Jordan excited. This is the NBA arena he is familiar with, and this is the attitude that mortals should have when facing him!

Eastern offensive rotation.

Jordan held the ball high and feinted left and right. Kobe held one hand high, disturbing Jordan who was holding the ball. At the same time, his body was tightly attached to Jordan's body. He kept taking small steps under his feet, constantly changing his position as Jordan's body swayed.

The defensive attitude is quite outstanding.

Kobe put a lot of pressure on Jordan. Under Kobe's pressure, Jordan dropped the ball behind him and quickly stepped back to create some space. Seeing Jordan's action, Kobe was about to step forward, but Jordan suddenly accelerated and hit Kobe hard.

Jordan's breakthrough movement is more or less suspected of hitting someone with the ball, and the ball protector is not tightly sandwiched with his side. However, the referee did not intend to blow the whistle for Jordan's breakthrough action. Things like the scale of the whistle are relative.

If Kobe's defensive actions are praised more leniently, then Jordan's breakthrough actions will be praised more leniently. The intensity of confrontation is equal, which is the so-called fairness.

In situations like the All-Star Game, referees basically don't have obvious biases.

Kobe's body was pushed back a step by Jordan's strength. Jordan started to speed up and quickly passed Kobe. After traveling to the mid-range, he saw Garnett, who quickly came up to help defend. Without any hesitation, Jordan was marching. Quickly pulling it up, during the short period of time in the air, a lever avoided Garnett's block. The next moment his body glided past Garnett, he raised his hand to throw the ball.

The side of the basketball scraped the board and bounced into the basket.

"Wow -" Jordan's difficult gliding shot instantly detonated the fans in the stands, and cheers poured into the stadium.

This kind of difficult goal that relies on powerful staying in the air has been used in almost every game of Jordan's career.

This "hesitant" offensive method can also be regarded as one of Jordan's hallmarks.

When fans see Jordan scoring goals like this, they know that Jordan is serious and is getting into shape quickly.

Kobe and Garnett have watched balls like this countless times, whether on TV or in games against the Bulls. But the frustrating thing is that no matter how many times they watch it, they can't do anything about it. Prevent Jordan from scoring.

"He is indeed the first player in history. No matter how many times I watch him, I will always be attracted by his gorgeous skills."

"Whether it's staying in the air or pulling the stick, it's not a difficult technical move. I can also do things like gliding and pulling the stick."

"But it doesn't feel as natural as him doing it."

"When Michael does this kind of action, it looks as simple as eating and drinking. He has an inexplicable sense of relaxation and calmness."

"How on earth is this done?"

On the sidelines of the court, seeing Jordan's goal, Wu Dao couldn't help but sigh. He could basically replicate Jordan's technical moves, but replicating is one thing. This does not mean that he and Jordan are different in some technical moves. reached the same level.

Just like crossover, can the crossover of ordinary fans be compared with Iverson?
Obviously, that's not possible.

Wu Dao's scoring ability is very strong, and he thinks he will not lose to anyone in terms of attacking tough situations. But his playing style is obviously different from Jordan's. What he pursues is efficiency.

Jordan is different. He plays basketball purely to practice the skill of basketball to the highest level. As those skills become more and more perfect, efficiency will naturally become a derivative of "practicing skills".

Jordan's starting point and martial arts are different, which also leads to some differences in the technical development of the two of them.

In junior high school and early high school, martial arts often involve a lot of footwork and feints when attacking.

But as his physical talent gradually emerged, the gap between his ability and his peers quickly widened. His style of play became more and more concise. With his versatile skills, his playing was actually "simpler" than when he was in middle school and high school. "That's a lot.

Now sitting on the sidelines watching Jordan and Kobe playing on the court, Wu Dao has some different feelings in his heart.

"Some technologies still need to be picked up."

Wu Dao thought to himself and looked up at the stadium.

At this time, offense and defense alternated in the court, and Kobe received the ball on the wing.

Jordan took a liking to Kobe and took the initiative to switch defenses with his teammates to keep an eye on Kobe. Kobe dribbled the ball rhythmically and was not in a hurry to launch an attack. The Lakers players all knew that Kobe was planning to play in isolation, but there were still people who were not familiar with Kobe and thought that this kid couldn't find a flaw in Jordan's defense and wanted to go Please help.

Garnett quickly came out from the inside, intending to help Kobe with a pick-and-roll screen, but before he could get into position, Kobe had already seen Garnett's movements. Instead, Kobe not only showed no thanks, but instead looked at him. Garnett waved his hand and shouted dissatisfied:
"Go away!"

"Don't disturb me! Get out of here!"

Kobe didn't say he was grateful, he didn't even give Garnett any face and directly scolded him. Hearing Kobe's scolding, Garnett's expression immediately changed. His little black face was livid, and he was stunned. His eyes were staring at Kobe, as if he wanted to eat people.

"Go away?"

"This kid actually told me to get lost?!"

Garnett is a little unbelievable. He has been in the NBA for a few years. He can be considered an All-Star, and now he can be considered a figure.

When he was in the Timberwolves, even people who were crazy about martial arts never told him to "go away". Kobe actually told him to "go away"? !

Just when Garnett was stunned, Kobe was already dropping the ball and accelerating. Jordan was following closely. Kobe was unable to get rid of Jordan. Therefore, after traveling to the mid-distance, Kobe felt that he could not get rid of his opponent in this way. Kobe's body stopped. , quickly half-turned and feinted. After adjusting Jordan's center of gravity, he turned back and shot a fadeaway jumper.

"Dang~"

The basketball flew out of his hand, hit the edge of the basket, and bounced back.

Garnett stood in the mid-range, and Duncan was the only one under the basket. This "full-level rookie" grabbed two, and abruptly tipped the ball over the head of the East insider and put the ball into the net.

“ohhhh!!!”

Duncan's toughness aroused the cheers of the fans around him. At this moment, Wu Dao, who was watching the game, also transformed into a fan, grinning and applauding.

He likes to watch basic skills play. Duncan's "solid" and "stable" style of play gives people a completely different feeling from Jordan and Kobe, and has a different kind of charm.

However, while praising Duncan's powerful ability, Wu Dao also noticed Garnett, who was standing motionless on the court, and was suddenly stunned. "Kevin's little tantrum was triggered by Kobe."

When Kobe is on the court, he is an extremely focused person. At this time, no matter what thoughts are in his mind, he will blurt them out directly.

Kobe at this time has no emotional intelligence.

That "go away" was an extension of Kobe's desire to have a one-on-one confrontation with Jordan.

Jordan received a pass from his teammate in the backcourt and began to advance. When passing by Garnett, Jordan couldn't help but glance at Garnett and felt a little funny.

Garnett is a member of the Timberwolves, and Jordan was happy to see Garnett embarrassed by the Timberwolves who once embarrassed him.

It wasn't until Jordan dribbled the ball past him that Garnett quickly ran back toward his own half without saying a word, and his anger seemed to have been suppressed by him.

However, knowing Garnett’s martial arts skills, I know that there is no way Garnett would just give up.
Duncan forced the two of them to score over the Eastern Conference, which somewhat dampened the morale of the Eastern Conference. At this time, someone in the Eastern Conference naturally needed to step up and boost the morale of the team, and Jordan naturally did his part!

But this time, Jordan did not directly hold the ball in singles. After quickly passing the ball to Reggie Miller on the wing, Jordan quickly passed Kobe and cut towards the basket. Jordan was very fast and moved. It was also very sudden, and Kobe couldn't keep up with the first step.

After entering the basket, Jordan used the cover of a long man to circle around and come out from the left side of the court. At this time, Kobe was completely out of position after being delayed.

Reggie Miller took advantage of his height advantage to easily pass the ball to the open Jordan. The latter received the ball and shot directly into the open space. The basketball flew directly over the belated Kobe's head and fell into the net.

Jordan scored the goal easily, and nodded to his old rival Reggie Miller. Jordan smiled and retreated, quickly returning to defense.

"F**K!"

"You stupid pig, could you please not let yourself be thrown off so easily?!"

"Trash, can you beat me?! If you can't beat me, just get out of here!"

When the Western Conference was serving the ball in the backcourt, Garnett suddenly got angry. He took advantage of Kobe's mistake and cursed him. His curse was very loud and unpleasant, and he didn't care about the filming around him. Those cameras facing the court were caught by him. Totally ignored.

Budao couldn't help but rub his nose when he heard Garnett's swearing. The Western Conference All-Star players sitting next to him also raised their heads curiously and looked at the court.

"It seems like a conflict broke out?"

"Looks like my little brother is in trouble."

O'Neal looked towards the court and saw Garnett insulting Kobe. Not only did he not have the slightest look of worry on his face, he actually smiled and sighed.

He looked at Martial Arts out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see what the Timberwolves boss's attitude was.

In O'Neal's view, it is better not to try to persuade him in this kind of conflict. No matter who he ends up supporting, it will only intensify the conflict.

In the court, Kobe listened to Garnett's insults and replied angrily: "Do what you have to do."

"Get the damn rebound!"

"idiot!"

"From the time you came on stage to now, you haven't played even the slightest role!"

"It won't be easy for the Timberwolves to win with a waste like you!"

Kobe also has a very vicious mouth. Most NBA players are very good at trash talking.

Kobe's words made Garnett choke. Then Garnett's curses became even worse. All kinds of words that needed to be blocked came out of his mouth. Kobe's family members were all greeted.

Garnett, who was born on the street, was much more talkative than Kobe. The two were squirting at each other while heading towards the frontcourt. Kobe was scolded by Garnett at a loss of words and could only use the words "idiot" over and over again. words to retaliate.

The exchange between these two people became a "beautiful scenery" in the stadium.

When the fans of the Eastern team saw the scene on the court, they started to boo. In the stands, there were also fans from the Eastern team who ridiculed the Western team for being "united".

Faced with the ridicule of the fans in the East, the faces of the fans in the West became ugly. They felt a little disgusted with Kobe, the troublemaker. Of course, there were also fans who supported Kobe, but in this kind of situation At that time, these fans really couldn't speak out.

Labels like being mean, selfish, and not seeing the overall situation were labeled on Kobe.

On the contrary, Garnett was dubbed "true character" by fans.
Kobe and Garnett were obviously out of control. The basketball was not given to either Kobe or Garnett, but was passed directly to the inside.

Facing Rick Schmitz, who is 224cm tall, Duncan used his flexibility to force the ball into the basket with a deep step. He feinted with the ball and then turned his back and sent the ball into the net with a small hook.

Some media and basketball critics nodded frequently at his outstanding moves under the basket, and also gave Duncan high praise - one of the best inside players in the league.

The West successfully scored a goal, and Garnett and Kobe began to defend. At this time, the two of them calmed down in a tacit understanding, stopped talking nonsense, and started to concentrate on defense.

Needless to say, these two stubborn donkeys with bad tempers still have a lot in common at some point.

This round of offense in the Eastern Conference was not smooth. Glen Rice, who was cutting through the air, hit the basket after receiving the basketball, but was interfered by Garnett who came up to help defend in time. The basketball fell out of the basket and the rebound was also Garnett, who quickly rushed back to the basket, grabbed the rebound and held it firmly in his hands.

Garnett, who successfully grabbed the rebound, did not forget to shout at Kobe:
"Did you see it? Trash!"

"You have to be so defensive!"

With that said, the basketball was handed to the point guard, and Garnett quickly pressed toward the frontcourt.

After the two teams entered the Eastern half, Garnett turned around and asked for the ball from the mid-range. Nick Van Exel was stared at by Garnett's eating eyes. He was really uncomfortable and could only lob the ball. Gave it to Garnett.

Facing Eastern Conference post Jason Williams, who was only 201cm tall, Garnett's confidence came. After a blast and a simple back-and-shoulder cover, he turned over and shot, and the basketball went directly into the net.

As soon as he scored, Garnett spoke to Kobe again:

"You were able to score a goal just because you were lucky and the basketball happened to be in your hands!"

"To score, for me it's as easy as eating and drinking!"

Although he was mocking Kobe, Jason Williams was affected and felt very hurt. Although he wanted to teach Garnett how to behave, he faced Garnett's turnaround jumper when he was more than ten centimeters taller than him. , he really can't guard against it
