Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Tom's request to fight was sincere, but Coach Philip was not moved by Tom's words.

If a player's mistake can be forgiven so easily, then he as a coach will have no credibility at all.

Since he has decided to punish Tom and other players, no matter what happens on the court, he will not let these players play easily.

He will only give these people a chance to play after they truly recognize their mistakes and reflect on them.

On the court, the Bulls have already launched an attack.

Ron Harper, who dribbled the ball into the Timberwolves' half from the backcourt, still chose to pass the ball to Michael Jordan. At the same time, other Bulls players also began to run around Michael Jordan.

The triangle offense system has long been deeply imprinted in the minds of every Bulls player.

Over the years, they have relied on this system to win one championship after another.

After passing the ball, Ron Harper quickly went to the left wing, providing Michael Jordan with a passing fulcrum, while Pippen, who was originally on the left wing, also quickly penetrated into the Timberwolves' inside line.

However, Chris Kyle, who was defending Pippen, had good footwork and was not thrown off by Pippen's running, but followed him closely. This also made it impossible for the Bulls to pass the ball into the paint in the first place, and Pippen created an opportunity to attack the basket.

But Pippen's cut was just a side job in the Bulls' offensive rotation. The most important purpose was to get Pippen to the bottom corner on the same side as Michael Jordan and provide Michael Jordan with another offensive fulcrum.

The Bulls' running habits are completely centered around Michael Jordan's unstoppable one-on-one play.

If Michael Jordan wants to attack on his own, his teammates will not block his offensive route. If Michael Jordan does not play smoothly in a certain round of offense, he will also have good passing options.

Relying on their running position, the Bulls created high-post singles opportunities for Michael Jordan.

A one-on-one confrontation can indeed be considered an opportunity for Michael Jordan.

As the basketball fell, Michael Jordan did not rush forward. After holding the ball and adjusting himself for a while, he silently observed Wu Dao's defensive posture.

Facing Michael Jordan, Wu Dao's defense was more inclined to prevent breakthroughs. Being tall and strong, he kept his center of gravity very low, with his right foot in front and his left foot behind, mainly defending Michael Jordan's strong side breakthroughs.

Observing Wu Dao's defensive posture, Michael Jordan made a quick decision in his mind after making some adjustments.

Under the gaze of everyone, Michael Jordan suddenly sped up his dribbling pace. Just when everyone thought he was going to accelerate and break through, Michael Jordan suddenly clasped the ball with both hands and shot a direct 3-pointer.

One second before the basketball was shot, Wu Dao, who was defending in front of Michael Jordan, completely confirmed Michael Jordan's offensive intention and quickly stretched out his hand to defend.

Although Wu Dao's defense-breaking rhythm was a little slower, his outstanding physical talent still put tremendous defensive pressure on Michael Jordan.

Even Michael Jordan knew that his shot would most likely not be blocked by Bu Dao's block, but when a player of Bu Dao's height really jumped high, Michael Jordan was a little nervous.

In his career, he had never faced a young man of Budo's level.

The basketball narrowly passed over Wu Dao's fingertips, almost sticking to his nails.

Under the gaze of all the players, the basketball shot by Michael Jordan hit the front of the basket directly and flew outwards.

"Hey--"

"Ouch!!!"

Michael Jordan missed his 3-pointer and the Bulls fans immediately groaned. On the other hand, the Timberwolves fans cheered happily when they saw Michael Jordan.

Wu Dao, who flew to defend, could no longer rush back to the basket to grab the rebound, but he did not forget to be on guard against Michael Jordan's rush to grab the rebound. Since he could no longer rush back to the basket, he would not let Michael Jordan rush to the basket.

Michael Jordan also realized that his shot was inaccurate. When he was about to speed up and cut to the basket to grab the rebound, he noticed that Wu Dao's body in front of him swayed, causing a big delay, which directly made Michael Jordan lose the opportunity to rush for the rebound.

But surprisingly, the Bulls' frontcourt rebound was grabbed by Rodman.

It’s not that Garnett was not strong enough. On the contrary, it was because Garnett occupied the best position to grab rebounds under the basket that Rodman took advantage of the opportunity.

The basketball flew quite far, but this accident was not actually Garnett's fault.

Rodman, who had the basketball in his hand, was about to pass the ball to Michael Jordan, but suddenly he realized that Wu Dao had not left Michael Jordan's side.

After a moment's hesitation, Rodman threw the ball directly to Ron Harper on the left wing of the court.

Ron Harper received the ball and raised it with both hands. He successfully dribbled forward with the ball and before the Timberwolves' help defense came up, he made a short lob shot near the basket and the basketball hit the backboard and went into the net with a crisp sound.

“Ohhh!!”

"NCIE!"

Seeing that this round of attack was successfully completed, the Bulls fans in the stands also shouted excitedly.

Although it was not Michael Jordan who scored the goal, in a game like this, as long as the Bulls players can score successfully, no matter who it is, they will cheer for the other side.

In this regard, Bulls fans are not partial.

Between offense and defense, the Timberwolves held their ground and it took them a full 15 seconds to complete the next round of offense.

After several passes, the basketball was given to Garnett. Garnett also faked a shot and passed the ball, forcing the ball into the hands of Wudao who was cutting to the basket. With the pursuit of Michael Jordan and the assistance of center Luke Long, Wudao forced his way into the basket, jumped and pulled up to avoid the block, and put the ball into the basket.

Wu Dao's jumping ability is very good, and players of Luke Lawley's level are no match for him.

As for Michael Jordan?
His physical condition was originally somewhat different from that of Wudao. When Wudao took the lead, there was no way for him to effectively block Wudao's pull rod.

The gorgeous pull-up layup also won cheers from the fans for Wu Dao.

However, after scoring the goal, Wudao did not show much joy on his face. He quickly returned to defense with a sullen face. Wudao's emotions also affected the other Timberwolves players. They had no intention of celebrating the score at all. The Timberwolves players also quickly engaged in defense.

Wu Dao's consecutive scores also made Michael Jordan anxious.

He would never allow such a young player to act recklessly in front of him.

Ron Harper had just crossed the center line with the ball when he saw Michael Jordan reaching out to him for the ball. Without any hesitation, Ron Harper passed the ball and quickly came to Wu Dao's side after shooting the ball, and set a screen for Michael Jordan. However, the quality of Ron Harper's screen was not high. Wu Dao had already anticipated Ron Harper's screen intention and closed the distance with Michael Jordan before the opponent approached. When Ron Harper's screen was in place, Wu Dao quickly used his body to squeeze away the Bulls' screen.

Michael Jordan, who was moving in the direction of Ron Harper's pick-and-roll, was blocked by Wu Dao after only two steps. Instead of forcing his way through Wu Dao's defense, Michael Jordan changed direction in front of his body and quickly looked up at the basket.

"High position. You've made a good shot!"

Michael Jordan's actions were also seen by Wu Dao. Facing Jordan's intention to shoot, Wu Dao had no intention of raising his center of gravity to break the defense. He seemed to see through Michael Jordan's action of looking at the basket as a fake move.

It’s just that his skills have reached the level of Michael Jordan, and he is able to adjust his offensive stance according to the opponent’s defensive tendencies.

Michael Jordan realized that Wu Dao had no intention of breaking through the defense and quickly turned his fake move into a real move. He quickly closed the basketball in his hand and jumped backwards.

Then, at the moment when Michael Jordan jumped with the ball, Wu Dao, who was only 20 to 30 centimeters away from him, pounced directly at Michael. His arms raised high instantly blocked Michael's sight, and the shadow of Wu Dao's palm also covered Michael's face.

"!!!"

The explosive power of martial arts is very terrifying. Such a breakthrough also made Michael Jordan anticipate that if he forced a shot, he might be blocked by the opponent. Michael Jordan, who was in mid-air, suddenly changed his posture and forced a shot to pass the ball to Ron Harper.

After landing, Michael Jordan did not stop for a moment and quickly rushed towards Ron Harper, and the martial arts guard who was defending him followed closely behind and was not thrown away by Michael Jordan's sudden running.

Hand over, get the ball back into your hands.

Michael Jordan received the ball again and shot a three-pointer without any hesitation. This time, Wu Dao, who was chasing him, finally had no way to affect Michael Jordan's shot. It was not until Michael Jordan shot the basketball that Wu Dao's block covered Michael Jordan's face.

Although there was no blocking interference from Wu Dao, Michael Jordan shot hastily in order to avoid Wu Dao and did not have much time to adjust before shooting.

And it was a three-point shot, which Michael Jordan was not so good at. Jordan's shot hit the back edge of the basket and bounced out.

Michael Jordan missed another shot, and the Bulls fans in the stands seemed to be a little desensitized. There was only sparse applause, as if they were encouraging Michael Jordan not to give up.

This time, the Timberwolves also protected their backcourt rebounds very well, and Garnett held the ball firmly in his hands.

Michael Jordan’s continuous offensive prowess in front of Martial Arts allowed Timberwolves fans to see the defensive capabilities of their star player.

As Marbury dribbled the ball toward the Bulls' half court, Timberwolves fans called out to Marbury, asking him to pass the ball to Bu Dao.

Although it was a finals stage, the Timberwolves fans were eager to see a one-on-one duel between Budo and Michael Jordan.

In the previous rounds of attack and defense, martial arts had the advantage.

The Timberwolves fans also hope that Wu Dao can completely defeat Michael Jordan through this game.

Before the game, the Bulls fans mocked Wu Dao, and the Timberwolves fans also heard it.

In today's arena, Timberwolves fans, whether white, black or other colored people, naturally prefer martial arts.

They also eagerly hope that Wu Dao can use his own strength to slap the faces of the Bulls fans.

If the young Budo can defeat the honor-laden Michael Jordan, then they, the Timberwolves fans, can also hold their heads high.

You know, being a fan of a weak team is actually very painful.

At this point, the Timberwolves fans two years ago might be able to resonate with the Chinese football fans.
Marbury is also a guy with high emotional intelligence. Although some people nicknamed him Lone Wolf, this only describes his playing style, not his emotional intelligence.

Marbury's emotional intelligence is beyond doubt as he is able to thrive in the CBA league.
If the players who get along with Marbury feel that Marbury has no emotional intelligence, it only means that the player has no value to Marbury.

It's cruel, but also very realistic.

The basketball quickly passed from Marbury's hands and into Wudao's hands.

There was not a single unnecessary movement when Wu Dao received the ball. After a simple crossover step adjustment, he just raised the ball and shot a three-pointer in front of Michael Jordan.

The entire three-point pull-up action was smooth and there was no pause at all.

It seemed that in Wu Dao's mind, he didn't need to observe what Michael Jordan's defense was like.

Absolute physical advantage allows martial artists to act arbitrarily.

Although Michael Jordan realized that Wu Dao might choose to pull up, he still couldn't keep up with Wu Dao's rhythm even after jumping with all his might. His defense posed no threat to Wu Dao.

For a scorer, Wu Dao's pull-up shot is almost unstoppable. By the time he raises the ball above his head, the defenders have actually lost the possibility of defending him.

If you want to stop a player of Wu Dao's size from pulling up, you must steal the ball in advance when he is about to lift the ball.

The reason why Maizi and Bathwater have made such a name for themselves in the NBA is that their nearly unstoppable pull-up shot is one of the weapons they rely on.

The average No. 2 position poses no threat at all to a player of Wu Dao's physique.

"brush!!"

In stark contrast to Michael Jordan’s cold touch, Budo’s touch was incredibly hot.

The abuse and ridicule from the Bulls' home fans actually helped Wu Dao get into the right state.

With a crisp sound in the court, the basketball went into the net.

After scoring the goal, Bu Dao did not turn around to defend immediately. Instead, he maintained his shooting posture and stood still in front of Michael Jordan for a few seconds before turning around.

Although Wu Dao didn't say anything, everyone could understand what he meant.

Basketball God
You are the God of Basketball, right?
