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

Chapter 298 The strongest background board in NBA history
Lin Dong's picturesque upright posture is elegant and refreshing, like a crane and clouds.

And Stackhouse tried his best to take off and block the shot. It felt like he had even used his toes, but he could only watch helplessly as the basketball slipped from his fingertips.

At this moment, the scene seemed to be frozen in an instant.

The guy with a higher shot became the center of the moment, and Stackhouse...

Frankly speaking, as a famous background board in the NBA, although Director Lu is the more well-known one, in fact, when it comes to the ceiling of the background board, it has to be Stackhouse.

He was unluckier than Coach Lu, and much more unlucky.

Director Lu is still famous as the backdrop, but Stackhouse has always been the unknown and the worst backdrop.

In 95, as a super rookie who was regarded as the second Jordan in the league, he was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the third overall pick in the first round and made a gorgeous debut.

Look, not only are their styles similar, but their draft picks are exactly the same as Michael Jordan's!
This made him shine as brightly as Lin Dong in the NBA today, and he was placed with infinite high hopes by the NBA at that time. However... all the shine in his career was almost always the brightest during the draft.

There are many miserable and regrettable players in the NBA, but if there is one unluckiest guy in the NBA, it is undoubtedly Stackhouse.

"Are you going to let that new guy score 50 points on your head?"

Fortunately, his outstanding performance in these two seasons finally attracted the attention of Jordan, who needed a striker. So with a wave of his hand, Stackhouse, who had worked hard for the Pistons for several years, became a trading commodity and came to the Pistons. The Wizards also followed the Wizards to their first show in Dragon Kingdom!

Stackhouse's performance in the Pistons was pretty good. He averaged 15.7 points per game in his first season. Since then, he has been on a roll until last season, when he averaged 29.8 points per game, the highest in Pistons history!
You know, before that season, the scoring champions in the regular season for several consecutive seasons all scored between 26 and 29, none of which were as many as Stackhouse!

Before he could recover, the 76ers of the same year ushered in Iverson, one of the strongest No. picks in history.

It was all his idea to trade Hamilton for Stackhouse, but this guy ended up embarrassing himself in his first game with the Wizards?

But it was such a gorgeous performance that could win the scoring title in previous years, but his former teammate Allen Iverson jumped out and won last year's regular season scoring title with an average of 31.2 per game, surpassing his career-high average. 29.8 once again became the background board.

Throughout his career, he has outstanding strength and superb scoring ability. Later, after gradually being reduced to a supporting role, he was also tough and solid on the defensive end. He tried his best to help the team and worked hard without complaint. Although he had a flamboyant personality in the early stage, he became calm and mature in the later stage.

This can be considered a pretty perfect player. With his talent and hard work, he is actually qualified to enter the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, his bad fate started when he first entered the league.

"Jerry!" Michael was a little unhappy.

Then last year the Pistons missed the playoffs for the first time.

Taking some comments from later generations as an example, this guy had the worst luck ever. His father must have been jealous of God, otherwise God would never have done this to him.

In his first rookie season, he averaged 19 points per game and was selected as the Rookie of the Year. He was an absolutely powerful player. This should have been the starting point for a brilliant career.

4: 8!

Swish!
The ball goes in!

When the basketball flew over his fingertips, Stackhouse thought of himself as the background every time for no reason, and suddenly he became completely depressed.

He has obviously lost his defensive position, but he still has to forcefully jump over to serve as a background for others... It's just an exhibition game, can't you just let him shoot?

In the second season, Kobe, who was still a high school student at the time, approached the Philadelphia 76ers and wanted to test his skills. The 76ers sent out top star Stackhouse with a wave of his hand, hoping to teach him a lesson. As a high school student, he was beaten by high school student Kobe Bryant because of his poor condition. This not only doubled Kobe Bryant's confidence, but also knocked half of Stackhouse's spirit away.

But when he met Jordan, who had just come back, Stackhouse should never have said that arrogant "I'm not afraid of Jordan"!
As a result, he was taught by Jordan every minute, and Jordan scored 45 points on his head. However, he only scored a pitiful 11 ​​points and N turnovers, which cast a heavy layer on his originally brilliant rookie season. The thick haze caused him, who should have been widely praised that season, to be remembered more as a background image of him being educated by Jordan.

Although Stackhouse still performed stably and teamed up with Iverson to average 44.2 points per game that season, the team's record was only a pitiful 22 wins and 60 losses. The 76ers who needed reinforcements had to rely on two people. To make a choice, of course he kept Iverson without hesitation, and then threw him to the Pistons.

Why did he meet such a nemesis again?

but……

Stackhouse knew that he was in the wrong. Although his face was full of embarrassment, he did not make excuses to say anything this time.

There were quite a few fans at the scene who got excited.

The SuperSonics opened the first 8 points, and it was all done by Lin Dong alone. If it hadn't been hacked by No. 10 just now, it would have been 11 points!

On the other hand, the Wizards, with Jordan and Yao, only scored 5 points?
This... is so fierce!

"Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!" "When I watched the World Championships, I said that Lin Dong is extraordinary. This is definitely not a level that can only be played in youth competitions!"

"Holy crap, is this going to be unbelievable? Even if he is the top pick in the draft, Lin Dong is still just a rookie. Who was the last rookie to show off like this in front of Jordan?"

"That red-haired No. 10 passed the ball beautifully just now, and that steal! What's this guy's name?"

"It seems his name is Hanamichi Sakuragi. He was also Lin Dong's teammate during the Nike Summit!"

"Huh? Japanese?"

Those voices that were excited just now suddenly subsided twice, with a bit of disgust.

"..."

"It's not like Jordan is guarding against Lin Dong. That black guy looks a little bad, he looks like a rookie, hahaha."

This means that Stackhouse can't understand Chinese, otherwise those comments about 'not very good rookie' would reach his ears and make him vomit blood.

But fortunately, Jordan's sarcasm made him calm down again.

50 points? If you really want a rookie to score 50 points on your head, then stop messing around and just announce your retirement when you return to the United States.

This guy is better than Kobe when he was a high school student...but there is no doubt that he is no longer the rookie Stackhouse in his second season.

To deal with such a guy, it's not enough to be serious, you have to give him some means.

He glanced at the scoreboard. It was 8 points...but the game had just begun!
No star who can stand on the NBA court is easy to deal with.

Seeing Stackhouse's eyes turn from angry to focused, Lin Dong knew that this guy was really serious.

Wizards ball possession.

As soon as he played against Stackhouse, who was really serious, Lin Dong immediately felt what Payton said, "Every famous player in the NBA has a signature."

As a small forward, Lin Dong is also good at playing without the ball, but Stackhouse's ability without the ball still makes Lin Dong feel amazing, even a little unable to guard.

The essence of being off the ball is getting away and creating openings.

This guy is so good at running, and his ability to change directions and sense of rhythm is very strong, making it difficult for the defender, who is always the pursuer, to keep up completely.

What's even more powerful is that Stackhouse is well aware of the situation on the court, everyone's position and even the prediction of trends. He has a strong view of the overall situation, a high golf quotient, a broad vision, and has extremely strong computing power. He knows how to do it very well. Reasonably use everyone's position on the court to create obstacles and trouble for defenders.

First, he cut to the baseline position, and Lin Dong followed up.

Followed by a back-turning feint, he changed direction and pulled to the right baseline. At a sprint-like speed throughout the whole process, Lin Dong still didn't lose track.

Then he went back and forth in the field, diving into where there were more people, wandering in the crowd as nimbly as a mouse, using the crowd's cover to set up pick-and-rolls.

The person blocking the defender may be Stackhouse's opponent, but it may also be the defender's teammates!

Being able to play without the ball to such a smooth state, and being willing to run without caring about physical strength, it would be impossible for Payton to completely keep up even if he defended himself.

Active movement allowed Stackhouse to quickly find an open opportunity. He got under the basket and used Yao Ming's pick-and-roll to block Lin Dong and Chandler behind him, and then reached out to rush Tyronn Lue. Want the ball.

Unfortunately……

Director Lu directly ignored his position where he was almost certain to score a goal, pretending he didn't see it.

It’s not like I didn’t pass it on to you just now, but what did I get? Got a mistake and a 'what the hell' message from you!
I was so passionate, but I finally paid it by mistake.

Therefore, don't trust the No. 2 in this kind of team... no, the No. 3, Yao Ming is much better than him, he doesn't deserve it!

There is only one essence of passing - and that is to pass to the strongest one!
Swish!
Tyronn Lue pouted his sexy lips and stuffed the basketball in a straight and handsome line.

The ball is in Jordan's hands!
