Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 677 Guards with swords!

There is no doubt that the increased intensity of the game will affect the shooting feel of the players on the field. At the same time, the high-intensity pace of the game will also increase the physical exertion of the players.

This is equivalent to the two sports of football and boxing. Is the physical condition of a person who plays football necessarily better than that of a person who plays boxing?
Why do the fighters in the boxing ring become exhausted after just a few minutes of competition?

This is not because their physical reserves are not good, but because the high-intensity competition consumes their physical energy.

The intensity of the game between the Timberwolves and Jazz is naturally incomparable to the intensity of boxing.

But the intensity of today's game is far beyond that of an ordinary NBA game.

"Boom!!!!"

The match between the two teams was at its peak when a muffled sound suddenly sounded in the stadium.

Under the Timberwolves' basket, Malone held the ball with his big elbow to clear the way. When he received the pass from his teammate and turned around with the ball, his left elbow also dug hard into Garnett's body.

Terrifying force was exerted on Garnett's body, and the severe pain in his chest made Garnett unsteady and staggered to the ground.

However, while falling to the ground, Garnett had no intention of completely giving up defense. He quickly stretched out his foot and tripped Malone's foot, causing Malone, who was turning around, to suddenly lose his balance.

The two sturdy men fell to the floor almost at the same time.

There was a close contact between his body and the floor. Garnett lay on the floor panting, but the severe pain in his chest forced him to take small breaths to relieve the impact of Malone's elbow.

In front of Garnett, Malone was lying on the floor, and the basketball in his hand had fallen aside.

The spectators in the stands all saw the situation on the field and looked sideways.

However, what surprised everyone was that the referee did not blow the whistle at all for such a big movement.

After the fans were stunned for a short time, they saw that the Timberwolves' martial arts had already got the ball in their hands. They simply ignored Garnett and Malone who fell to the ground and quickly drove the ball towards the frontcourt.

Seeing Wu Dao's actions, everyone in the Jazz also came back to their senses. They didn't bother to help Malone on the ground, and instead quickly retreated to deal with the Timberwolves' counterattack and fast attack.

Malone received a violent impact. He lay on the ground for a while and then sat up. He noticed that the referee did not blow the whistle at all, and he climbed up from the ground and retreated quickly.

Compared with Malone, Garnett took a longer time to slow down. He lay down for several seconds before getting up. After getting up, he did not join the Timberwolves' fast break. He just stood in the backcourt and watched his teammates' performances.

Wu Dao originally wanted to hold the ball alone and go down quickly, but the Jazz players returned to defense very quickly, and the inside line had already started to defend tightly early, which made Wu Dao's fast break plan go bankrupt.

Jazz's timely return to defense also caused Wu Dao to change their offensive strategy and slow down the pace of advancement.

After the team members entered the frontcourt, Budo tried to launch an attack.

During the offense, due to the absence of Garnett, Malone, who ran back quickly, did not sink to the basket immediately. Instead, he stood behind Brian Russell, ready to put pressure on Wu Dao at any time.

"Didn't Garnett participate in this round of offense?"

Wu Dao held the ball outside the three-point line, glanced at the situation on the court, and quickly analyzed it in his mind as he approached his opponent Brian Russell with the ball.

The previous collision between Malone and Garnett should have had such an impact on Garnett that he had no way to participate in this round of offense.

The four-on-five environment in the frontcourt actually made Wu Dao give up the idea of ​​passing the ball.

He planned to score this goal himself!
Budao's dribbling rhythm changed, and he grabbed the ball with his right hand and dropped it in front of his left. After affecting Brian Russell's defensive focus, Budao's right hand quickly pulled the basketball that bounced to the left back to his side.

Then, under Brian Russell's hurried pursuit, Wu Dao suddenly turned his back and instantly passed Brian Russell's defense from his left side. A beautiful Sam Goad had already defeated Brian. Ryan Russell is behind him.

After passing a defender, Wu Dao held the ball with his left hand and quickly drove directly from the center right towards the Jazz basket.

Wu Dao's breakthrough was too fast, and the direction of the breakthrough was also the center-right direction where the Jazz's defense was slightly weak. Malone, who was on guard behind Brian Russell, was nearly two meters away from Wu Dao when Wu Dao broke through his opponent.

At this moment, Wu Dao broke through and headed towards the basket, and Malone could only accelerate to catch up from the side. It was already impossible to block Wu Dao's offensive line from the front.

Wu Dao and Ma Long entered the paint area almost at the same time, and as Wu Dao's ball flew into the air, Ma Long's figure quickly jumped out from the side of Wu Dao, raising his arms high, intending to give Wu Dao a solid seal. build.

"Bang!!"

The bodies of the two collided violently in the air. Wu Dao and Ma Long, who were both excellent at staying in the air, quickly fell downwards after the collision.

Wu Dao, who was falling, also changed hands quickly in the air. He held the ball with his left hand and turned his right hand into a supporting hand to block Malone's block, and then sent the ball into the basket.

Ma Long's ability to stay in the air was slightly worse than that of Martial Arts, and he landed first and fell to the ground. At the same time, his feet also inadvertently placed on the soles of Martial Arts' feet that were about to land.

Malone pretended not to know, raised his hands in the air, turned his head and looked towards the basket.

As the basketball rubbed against the edge of the basket, rolled several times and fell into the net, Wu Dao's right foot, which fell back to the ground, also stepped on the instep of Malone, causing his ankle to tilt slightly.

"Beep——"

"Oh!"

The referee's whistle and the muffled sound when Budo fell to the ground came out almost at the same time.

At the same time, the audience's eyes were also focused on Wu Dao and Ma Long who fell to the ground.

Malone defensive foul.

The fans were not surprised by the referee's decision. What they focused on was the martial arts situation.

Some fans sitting in the front row noticed that Wu Dao stepped on Malone's instep before falling to the ground.

At the same time, the studios of major media broadcasting the competition began to play back for the audience in front of the TV. Recorded by the camera lens, it was very clear why Wu Dao fell to the ground.

"Martial Arts?!"

The moment he fell to the ground, Wu Dao was a little confused, but this confusion only lasted for a moment, and then he regained consciousness amidst the shouts of his teammates.

Glancing at the surrounding Timberwolves teammates, Wu Dao's eyes also fell on Malone.

Go for the ball? Or are you just here for others?

As the martial artist involved, there is actually no way to tell this, but he knows one thing, that is, Ma Long gave him a foothold!
"Wudao, are you okay?" The Timberwolves players gathered around Wudao. At this time, even Garnett, who was in the backcourt, had come to the frontcourt and looked at Wudao who sat up with some concern.

Under the gaze of many players, Wu Dao gently rubbed his ankle that felt a little sore and numb, then grabbed the hand extended by his teammate and stood up:

"fine."

Wu Dao is very clear about his physical condition. He has the habit of carefully binding his feet before games. The support of high-top sneakers is also good. Of course, the more important thing is that he has no problems.

Another person might have sprained or even broken a bone and had to withdraw, but it would have no impact on martial arts.
After greeting his teammates and referees, Wu Dao walked to the free throw line to execute the free throw under the gaze of everyone in the Jazz.

Ma Long's expression when he saw Wu Dao was full of surprise. He didn't expect that Wu Dao could still stand up under such an impact, and the way he looked at Wu Dao was not affected at all.

This made Ma Long, who was already feeling "deficit", feel a little uneasy. He thought he understood Wu Dao's character and temper, so he didn't send Wu Dao off the court this time. He might have to face Wu Dao's revenge.

Because at the same time, he had tasted it.

But will Malone not take action because his opponent may retaliate?

Impossible, he is not that kind of person.

He would only feel that his "means" were not decisive enough and gave his opponents a chance to retaliate against him on the court.

"Uh-huh!!!"

A crisp sound of the net swiping sounded from the court. After Wu Dao completed the free throw, he was replaced by Coach Philip. Wu Dao was replaced by Ben Wallace of their Timberwolves.

Before Wallace came on the court, coach Philip gently put his arm around Wallace's shoulders and whispered something.

No one else heard the conversation between the two of them, and Wu Dao, who knew he was being substituted, didn't have much emotion. After high-fiving and interacting with Wallace, he returned to the rest area.

He has played the entire first quarter and also played a long time in the second quarter. There is nothing wrong with taking a proper rest.

After Wu Dao left the game, Ben Wallace became the team's No. 4 position, while Garnett, who was tall and powerful, became the team's No. position.

Garnett has a good ability to break through with the ball. Although he is not as flexible as Bunyama in controlling the ball, Garnett's ability to break through with the ball is enough to be qualified as a small forward. some tasks.

The person who defended Malone in the Timberwolves became Ben Wallace.

In the Timberwolves' rest area, coach Philip seemed worried about Wu Dao's ankle condition and asked the team doctor to do some more detailed physical examinations on Wu Dao.

After taking off his sneakers, Wu Dao's ankle showed no signs of swelling after a sprain. After removing the binding, the team doctor asked Wu Dao how he felt while doing simple exercises for Wu Dao's ankle.

Seeing that Wu Dao really had no pain, the team doctor was also surprised and confirmed that Wu Dao was not injured.

Coach Philip also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the team doctor was about to leave, Coach Philip stopped the doctor and asked him to give Wu Dao a simple ice compress.

Although I don’t know why coach Philip arranged it like this, the team doctor didn’t say much.

What happened in the Timberwolves rest area was also recorded by fans and media cameras, triggering riots among Timberwolves fans.

"Martial Arts seems to be injured?!"

"F**K, the damn postman actually hurt our Wolf King!"

When the fans saw the movement in the Timberwolves dugout, they started talking about it. Many fans were filled with indignation and began to denounce the Jazz's Malone.

However, the fans' condemnation was naturally of no use. It was the Jazz's offensive round on the court, and his mind was not on other things at all.

The basketball soon came into Malone's hands. Garnett, who was originally guarding him, now went to defend on the outside. He now had to deal with an unknown young man.

Facing such a player, in the eyes of the Jazz players, this is a real opportunity!

Malone caught the basketball with his back to the basket in the mid-range and then dropped the ball and turned to face the basket. While Malone rushed inward, his body was also leaning on Wallace's body. The huge force suppressed Wallace and there was no way to get the first place. Time traverse follow up.

Taking advantage of the physical confrontation, Malone also quickly bypassed Wallace and went directly to the basket.

Very empty inside line!

As Malone expected, players of Wallace's level were no match for him.

It is not difficult to score on Wallace's head.

Malone jumped up and was about to dunk.

At this moment, Wallace's figure quickly came from behind him. After Malone took off, Wallace took off and reached out to block the shot.

With Malone's bullet speed and explosive power, it was actually impossible for Wallace to complete the block on Malone when he lost the opportunity.

After all, when Malone dunked, Wallace, who took off from behind, might not have reached the highest point at all.

However, Wallace still took off after Malone.

Then, with all the eyes on him, Wallace jumped up high and slapped Malone's arms hard.

The huge force immediately caused Malone to lose his center of gravity in mid-air. He was unsteady with the ball in his hands, his feet were weak, and his body began to fall rapidly.

Malone lost his balance and landed on one foot. After a stagger, he couldn't stand at all and was pulled down to the ground by Wallace.

"Bang!!!"

With a muffled sound in the stadium, Malone fell to the floor.

At the same time, the referee on the sidelines also sounded the whistle.

"."

silence.

The moment Malone was pulled to the ground by Wallace, the entire audience fell into silence.

Malone felt the pain coming from his body and raised his head to glare at Wallace. But what was unexpected was that Malone was very calm at this moment.

Of course, although he looked very calm on his face, his heart was already burning with anger at this moment.

on purpose!
There is no doubt that Wallace's foul was directed at others!
But the penalty given by the referee was just a general foul.

Although Malone knew it in his heart, he still tried his best to suppress his emotions at the moment the referee made the penalty.

He kept telling himself that he must not be impulsive.

Wallace is just a role player for the Timberwolves.

It's not a good thing for them to care too much about this kind of people.

On the side of the court, Wu Dao, who was sitting on the bench doing ice compress, saw this scene and looked deeply at Coach Philip beside him.

Feeling Martial Arts' gaze, Philip smiled and said:

"When others are 'tough', we can only win the game if we are 'tougher' than them!"

"Some things don't require the team boss to take action."

"The price will drop."
