The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 296 Steals or blocks?

Wizards ball possession.

As an NBA celebrity who can definitely be recorded in history, Tyronn Lue relies not on his superb skills and outstanding record, but on his excellent emotional intelligence and organizational concepts that are almost unique in the NBA.

——Throw the damn ball to the strongest one!
There is no way, there are probably few people in this world who understand this sentence and the meaning of 'strongest' better than Tyronn Lue.

Whether as a teammate, opponent, or coach of these 'strongest', he has been used as a backdrop by these strongest too many times while playing different roles, and each one of them is a world-famous painting. Such a level... whether it is used as a background board or not, it is still impressive. Tyronn Lue is definitely a master!

As soon as the ball passed midfield, Tyronn Lue firmly implemented his basketball philosophy and passed the ball to Michael Jordan's hands without hesitation.

Payton's defense was still so lax and absent-minded, but he also had a smirk on his face, which made Jordan a little unsure of what this guy wanted to do.

He didn't believe Payton's nonsense about not stealing Lin Dong's limelight. Every time he saw this guy, he was like a chicken. Including last year's SuperSonics made it clear that they were going to have a bad season. This guy spent the entire regular season. To maintain his health, only in the two games against the Wizards, he blocked himself as if risking his life. It seemed that every offensive round he defended would make him feel good for a whole year.

There must be a conspiracy.

Jordan decided to wait and see what happened, then hit a favor shot, saw the right moment and lobbed the basketball towards the basket, helping Yao Ming complete an alley-oop, and Qiao Ming connected, igniting a wave of passion in the arena.

At this time, Lin Dong held the ball in his right hand and was one step away from Stackhouse.

Although Stackhouse is no longer a newcomer, and he doesn't expect to prove anything by defeating Lin Dong, in today's NBA, the more famous NBA star players are, the more wary they are of Lin Dong.

The excited voice of the on-site commentator directly blew up Qiao Ming's line, claiming that Jordan was injured in this year's finals, otherwise Qiao Ming's line would definitely win the OK combination and win last season's championship!
SuperSonics possession.

Although it seemed that he was one step away from Lin Dong at this time, his right leg, which was slightly behind him, was already ready to go. At this time, he jumped up with a kick of his right leg, but as soon as his body's center of gravity started to take off, he already realized When something bad happened, Lin Dong's raised arms turned out to be just a false shot. The center of gravity that had been raised just now suddenly sank, and he took a quick step forward.

The best way to deal with young people is to provoke them. Compared with those NBA veterans who deceive every move and hide eight hundred tricks in every word, it only takes one sentence to control the rhythm of these young people. thing.

Although today's arena was jokingly called the "Wizards' home court" by the media, when the ball was handed over to Lin Dong, bursts of cheers erupted at the venue.

After getting the ball, Payton pushed the frontcourt and faced Jordan's marking. He threw the ball to Lin Dong without hesitation.

As the absolute core of the American youth team that successively won the Nike Summit and the World Championships, Lin Dong's potential in the eyes of countless Dragon Kingdom people is not half worse than Yao Ming. Especially the live broadcast on CCTV during the World Championships made countless Dragon Kingdom fans wonder. I was moved to tears. Although I came to see Jordan and Yao Ming today, I also came to see Lin Dong.

In a word, you can step on whoever gets the upper hand, but don’t step on my shoulders. Let you experience the true intensity of the NBA!
"That 3-pointer just now was good." Stackhouse deliberately placed it about one step away, but turned slightly sideways, with his left and right legs in front and back, and his left hand in front of Lin Dong, saying with a hint of provocation: "another one?"

"Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!"

"Come on, Xiaolin!"

In this kind of exhibition match, whether the team wins or loses is not important, but you absolutely cannot let yourself become the backdrop for this young man.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter even if you lose, but at least you get 20 points, no, 30 points!"

"Okay." As Lin Dong spoke, he bent his legs slightly, lifted his weight, and raised his hand without hesitation.

Stackhouse's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his lips.

Since he defeated LeBron and Jay Jay at the Nike Summit, defeated Wade, Anthony and other young representatives of American basketball in the World Championships, and then caused trouble in the NSAA in Washington State, the word Dong Lin has been in The United States has already developed some demonic qualities.

This guy stepped on LeBron at the Nike Summit and now, if there is a young player who can beat him, he can step on him and become an American hero in minutes!
For the older generation of NBA players, the name Lin Dong represents threats and challenges. Although no one is afraid of him, they are secretly worried. After all, if they lose to this Guy, you will be famous all over the United States in a minute. If you are embarrassed, it will be a big loss.

For younger players in the NBA, the two words Lin Dong represent a huge experience package.

Compared with the enthusiasm for Lin Dong among the Longguo people at the scene, this Asian is actually even more popular in the United States now.

4:3, the Wizards took the lead.

Before the game, Stackhouse's attitude towards this game was relatively relaxed. He understood that this was just a show. If he was facing Payton, there was a high probability that he would only work but not contribute. He was just showing off on the defensive end, but this guy in front of him was different.

Stackhouse's reaction was extremely fast. He forced his weight back to the ground after taking off. In the eyes of others, he almost didn't jump at all, as if it was just a fake move.

But only Stackhouse understands that after all, the lifted body has to press down more than the opponent. Lin Dong's first step is very fast, and before Stackhouse can block it, Staying on the defensive line, it was already rushing out from his side like a gust of wind.

Farke! Passed?

Stackhouse looked embarrassed.

One second he thought this newcomer was cute, but the next second he realized that this guy had more intentions than himself.

At this time, there was no time to think about it, so he quickly turned around and chased after him. Although he was a beat late, he still managed to hang behind Lin Dong.

In front of him, Yao Ming took a step forward to take up the position. In a flash of lightning, he and Stackhouse formed a two-man encirclement from the front and back.

Lin Dong jumped high in front of the basket without hesitation.

Stackhouse only saw Lin Dongren in the air at this time. In front of him was Yao Ming, who was 226 centimeters wide with his arms open. Behind him, he felt the pressure of his own pursuit. On the contrary, there was money under the basket that leaked out after being defended by Yao Ming. Dele.

He must pass this ball!
Stackhouse's most proud skill is low-post mismatch. Whether on the offensive or defensive end, his instinct for mismatch is natural.

At this time, he rushed towards Chandler immediately, but he did not expect that Lin Dong suddenly bent his body in the air, staggered a little space from Yao Ming's armpit, leaned out half of his body, and made a small throw.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

4: 5!

"nice shot!"

"Xiao Lin is so handsome!" "Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!"

The scene was filled with cheers and joy.

MD guessed wrong again... Stackhouse felt annoyed. If he had known better, he would have put more pressure on the guy from the side and behind.

But it looks like this guy is a lone wolf! At least in this game, the opponent is very aggressive and expressive!
"Hey, man." Jordan looked at Stackhouse with a half-smile: "Want to be the backdrop for the new guy?"

"Exhibition match..." Stackhouse smiled awkwardly and found an excuse for himself.

But after all, a sense of anger was already welling up in my heart.

background?
Stackhouse secretly clenched his fists.

Pooh! A bullshit exhibition game. This was his first game with the Wizards. He didn't want to be a backdrop for an Asian.

Be serious!

Wizards ball possession.

Tyronn Lue passed the ball to Jordan as usual, but Jordan did not choose the basket this time. Instead, after a brief struggle with Payton, he passed the ball to Stackhouse.

The purpose of this is obvious. You were beaten twice by the Asian newcomer just now, and now you are going to beat one back to regain your momentum.

Stackhouse received the ball at a 30-degree angle on the left side of the penalty area. At this time, holding the ball with both hands and leaning against Lin Dong's defense, he took a deep breath.

As an All-Star small forward who averaged 29.8 points per game last season, Stackhouse has quite a variety of scoring methods. Not only does he have solid basic skills, but he also has a good 3-point shooting percentage, as well as breakthroughs, runs, and mid-range shots. The offensive methods are all top-notch.

But among them, the best one is undoubtedly the technique of low post shooting.

With a height of 198 centimeters, he looks about the same height as Lin Dong, but his weight of 101KG makes him look much stronger than Lin Dong, who only weighs 95KG.

At this time, Lin Dong relied on his back and shoulders to squeeze towards the basket. It gave Lin Dong the feeling that his chassis was as stable as invincible. The space he squeezed in each time was not much, but his overall coordination was quite strong. He used his strength to push forward. When your defense is knocked loose or knocked away, your body will immediately push forward, giving you no room to push back.

One word, steady!

It feels like a slow-moving tank slowly rolling over you, but you can only watch helplessly but can't stop it in the slightest.

What the newcomers fear most is not the dazzling fancy skills and playing with their imaginations. Newcomers who have never been beaten up have bigger imaginations than you. What they are afraid of is actually the most simple and unpretentious things.

It's a pity that Lin Dong is not only not the newcomer he imagined, but also has a detailed understanding of all the well-known stars of this era, especially those who have made some famous names in NBA history. The advantages, disadvantages and characteristics of these players are currently It was still an object of secret research by opponents behind closed doors, but in later generations, it was information that could be easily found on Baidu Encyclopedia, and it was not valuable at all.

He couldn't fight with strength. This was his single biggest flaw in the NBA. So as soon as the opponent hit him, Lin Dong took advantage of the situation and stepped back, keeping his right leg in a state of pushing back to gain momentum at all times.

"Oops, I still can't stand it!" The on-site commentator kept supplementing Lin Dong: "As a rookie player, Lin Dong is not known for his strength. Faced with the low singles skills of such a powerful striker, obviously It’s still a bit difficult, this is a step that every NBA rookie will go through..."

Mr. Lin, who was sitting in the front row, was so anxious that he clenched his fists. He wished he could pass on all the energy he had to the Yankees on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea to his grandson: "Oh, is this playing ball or hitting someone? Is that black man? Foul..."

It's a pity that the old man's words are useless.

In just three or two steps, Stackhouse had entered the position he felt most comfortable with.

At this time, he felt the center of gravity of the opponent's defense sitting on his back. The strong butt and back strength forced Lin Dong's defense to squeeze out a space, followed by a turnaround jumper without hesitation.

A smile could not help but appear on Stackhouse's lips as he turned around.

A newcomer is a newcomer, and the difference in tonnage can be felt at the first contact. The simplest and most effective way is to force it... huh?

Before he could finish this thought, he felt a haze shrouding his eyes after turning over.

call……

It was a figure rising high in front of him. It not only blocked all his sight like clouds and sun, but also covered him with its big hand. What's more terrible is that in order to pursue the ultimate shooting speed, He had already practiced this trick to the point where he no longer had to look at the basket to aim when he turned around, so the basketball had just come out of his hand and he couldn't get it back.

A look of disbelief flashed across Stackhouse's face, and his pupils tightened in an instant.

Fake!

Didn't this kid just get knocked away by me? How can you jump so fast? !

Of course it’s fast, because I have predictions.

The characteristics of Stackhouse's low post skills have been analyzed extensively in later generations, that is, after forcing himself into the basket, he sits on his back and turns over to shoot a jump shot. The back seat when he is leaning against is his signature move, as long as he is stuck properly The timing of his back seat and almost every move this guy made could be said to be within Lin Dong's expectations.

When the opponent sat back just now, Lin Dong's "being squeezed away" was quite natural. His body did not suffer too much force, and with his right leg always gathering momentum, his take-off speed was naturally not affected. It seemed that he was being squeezed away. Although passive, he actually always controls the defensive initiative.

On the contrary, Stackhouse seemed to take the initiative, but in fact, at the moment of ending, he made one more turn than Lin Dong.

Coupled with the height, wingspan, jumping burst and other hard-core attributes, they are all superior to Stackhouse. At this time, the condescending shot blocking is like a mountain of mountains crushing the top of Stackhouse, and a man descending from heaven!
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, and the basketball that had just been released was not shot away by Lin Dong, but actually confiscated from the air by Lin Dong and copied into his own hands!
The arena fell silent at this moment, and Jordan, who was outside the three-point line, couldn't help but open his mouth.

The on-site commentators were dumbfounded and suddenly confused.

Is this...is this considered a steal or a block?
The opponent is an NBA all-star forward, not the young people Lin Dong played against at the Nike Summit and World Championships before.

Are all-stars shameless?
This is too cruel!
