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

Chapter 344 Hi! Shaq, good defense!
The game has just begun, and Kobe's abundant physical strength makes his defense like a maggot in his tarsus.

Only then did Payton realize that Kobe didn't choose to duel just now. I'm afraid it was also due to this factor. He wanted to focus more on defense first. He wanted to lock Lin Dong.

Not any team can afford a tactic like Box-One. You have to have at least one player on the All-Defensive Team, and Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly such a best candidate. This guy has been selected for two consecutive years. The best defensive first team, in terms of defensive ability, he is young and physically strong, even Payton is inferior to him now!

The Sonics want to pull out a tooth from the Lakers, but why aren't the Lakers doing the same?

The fans at the scene suddenly felt a little worried.

Although this entire season has given all fans full confidence in Lin Dong, after all, at this time, he is facing the strong blockade of the three consecutive championships in the playoffs. Can Lin Dong still kill everyone?

Something is not good... Payton's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Lin Dong was not an easy target to lock down, even if his opponent was Kobe.

But the SuperSonics' strategy is to let Lin Dong kill O'Neal. If Lin Dong has to pass Kobe's level first and then O'Neal's level every ball, it will consume Lin Dong's physical strength...

call!
Before Peyton could finish the thoughts in his mind, he saw Sakuragi Hanamichi over there taking the initiative to move towards Lin Dong.

Snapped!
Payton's eyes lit up.

But the uproar at the scene had not yet turned into a climate.

dislocation? It is impossible for him to be misplaced. Sakuragi Hanamichi's technical characteristics are like a blank slate in the eyes of the Lakers. He has good rebounding skills and basket skills, but he has no independent offensive ability at all, and his distance is only concentrated in the penalty area. At a 45-degree angle, it was completely unrelated to the current position. Of course, we should get rid of him as soon as possible and continue to surround Lin Dong.

"Brother Takato!" Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted, his excited expression showing that he was in a state of excitement!
All support for Brother Takato and Hanamichi Sakuragi is instinctive and never goes wrong.

At this time, the extraordinary speed of change of direction, coupled with Kobe's unexpected movements, made it too late to continue to move laterally to block.

The perfect pick-and-roll angle instantly caught Kobe, who was caught off guard, and almost collided with Sakuragi Hanamichi.

At this time, Lin Dong was on the left side of the free throw line. Samakhi Walker, who was misplaced after Sakuragi picked and rolled, opened his arms to block it immediately.

Don’t slow down and change direction!
Kobe Bryant's eyes that had succeeded suddenly froze, and then he felt his eyes flashing. At the same time, Lin Dong had already moved away from him.

There was a harsh scuffing sound from the soles of his shoes. Lin Dong's left foot left a mark on the floor as he rushed forward, and then he forced his inertial momentum to the right.

At this time, Kobe Bryant appeared behind Samaki Walker very suddenly. He was too close. With the help of Walker's body, Lin Dong could not see the person at all beforehand, and he had already stood on defense with both feet at the first moment. Position, stuck on the edge of blocking fouls, but also creating a surprise for the newcomer.

Kobe Bryant!

When the two were misaligned, a hint of coldness in Lin Dong's eyes also reflected in Kobe's eyes.

Kobe felt a hurricane blowing past his ears. Although he reluctantly reached out and took out a handful, Lin Dong used his ball-protecting arm to use the impact and knocked him away.

Facing this 206-centimeter tall man who hastily blocked him, Lin Dong turned around, forced his weight away, and got directly under his armpits. But the next second, another figure had also blocked him.

What was the fight about at the beginning? Do you really think we are fighting for those 2 points? What we compete for is momentum! That will affect the confidence of the whole team and even guide the direction of the entire game.

Lin Dong, who came out, had already made a gesture of asking for the ball with both hands, and almost instantly, Payton's pass had reached Lin Dong's hands.

The only effect Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense switch had on him was to block it.

Frankly speaking, Kobe would rather believe that this young man had terrible court vision and predicted his block in advance. Otherwise, if he relied solely on his reaction, his reaction would be too fast!

The stadium was filled with exclamations for a moment. This happened too suddenly. Compared with Lin Dong's figure rushing forward at high speed, it made people feel that the ball was like a spark hitting the earth in an instant, and there was no room for avoidance at all!
This kind of controversial ball would definitely be a blocking foul on Kobe at home, but so what?
Your momentum has been suppressed, not to mention it's just the beginning of the first quarter. You blocked the foul but didn't make free throws... your momentum to score has also been suppressed.

"what!"

Zhiji!

Kobe was surprised. He knew that Lin Dong had this terrifying ability to change direction, but he really didn't expect that his reaction could be so fast. With the help of Walker's body just now, Lin Dong should not be able to see him at all. From the moment he came out of the wrong body to Lin Dong changing direction, the whole process probably took less than half a second, but the young man was able to make the correct reaction and action in less than half a second.

There was no immaturity and excitement as he imagined, but instead a sense of the same determination to win that was revealed in his composure.

So what about the best stretch? What about the best defender in the league?

What I fight is the elite, and those who pass are your best defenders!
At this moment, hot blood was burning in Lin Dong's body, and what was gestating in his cold eyes was like a volcano about to erupt.

Swish!
This step goes directly through Kobe and Walker.

All the fans in the arena opened their mouths wide, and even forgot to cheer for a moment. The atmosphere of the entire arena seemed like a taut bowstring.

Lin Dong shook off Kobe and took two big steps to the basket. O'Neal was also surprised. Although he didn't have much dealing with Kobe Bryant recently, he knew Kobe's defensive strength very well. But when faced with the double-teaming of Walker and Kobe, that kid actually rushed out in the blink of an eye?
At this time, Lin Dong was like a tiger that had escaped from the gate and went straight to the basket.

O'Neal took one step across, raised his hands, and tried to use his wall-like body to bring some psychological oppression to the young attacker.

But then he saw the bloodthirsty light in Lin Dong's eyes, like a wild beast, and without hesitation, the ball and man merged into one, and he jumped high towards O'Neal.

The arena became silent in an instant, and many fans couldn't help but stand up suddenly.

Button? Is this a dunk on the strongest center in the history of the league?
O'Neal almost laughed out of anger at Lin Dong's move.

Instead of being frightened by him, the rookie regarded himself as prey?

The word "prey" obviously irritates the big shark a bit.

You are a hundred years too early!
boom!
O'Neal's eyes widened in anger in an instant, and he rose up into the air without hesitation. His huge body was like a wall of sighs, sealing Lin Dong tightly. At the same time, his two big hands were high and flat.

As the league's No. 1 center, O'Neal knows how to prevent tricks such as changing hands and pulling the lever.

These ignorant newbies always think that Shaq is a stupid guy, and they always think that they can do all kinds of fancy moves in front of him to show off, but they don't know that when he first debuted, he was even more fancy than these young people!
Although he seems to have a 'fat' body of over 300 pounds, he has flexibility and skills that are definitely not inferior to those of a small man. The reason why he doesn't use those skills and tricks is just because he doesn't need them now.

At this time, O'Neal's big hand raised directly covered the basketball in Lin Dong's hand, while the flat hand was in a surrounding defensive posture, always ready to block Lin Dong's change of hands or the angle of the lever. , while leaning forward, the extremely oppressive force also blocked any possibility of the other party "taking advantage of the loopholes".

At this moment, almost everyone stood up, and everyone stared nervously.

The first thing I saw was the bodies of the two people coming into contact with each other. Not to mention Lin Dong who felt the huge body in person. Even if he was just a bystander, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shock when he saw the moment when the two people's bodies came into contact. Feeling like a tree, Lin Dong's body was trembling, but O'Neill's body was motionless.

At the same time, the shot-blocking hand has arrived.

Lin Dong's right hand raised high suddenly pulled at this moment. He didn't change hands or pull the lever, but grabbed the ball high and pulled it to the side and behind. While O'Neal's shot was missed, it also blocked him. The big hand stretched flat on the other side has no use.

At this time, Lin Dong's body in the air was already in an extremely unbalanced state. He straightened his right hand and had no basis for shooting.

Want to pass the ball?
O'Neal knew that there was Chandler under the basket, but from his perspective, he could clearly see that Kobe, who was catching up with Lin Dong, had a tacit understanding and was blocking Chandler. If Dong really dares to pass it on, he will definitely be cut off.

But before the thought could finish in O'Neill's mind, he was surprised to find that Lin Dong's hands had reached his highest point.

He was falling, but the young rookie was still in the air!
At this moment, gravity seemed to have lost its grip on Lin Dong, and O'Neill could clearly feel the stillness of Lin Dong's motionless state.

For the first time, there was a hint of surprise in Big Shark's pupils, and then he saw Lin Dong pulling back his right hand again.

His terrifying ability to stay in the air allowed him to stay in the air for at least 1/3 second longer than O'Neal, and his strong core strength allowed him to complete the second adjustment of his shooting posture when his body was almost out of balance.

Lin Dong's eyes were like water, staring at the basket that reappeared in front of O'Neal after he fell, and then he steadily threw the ball when he also began to fall.

Boom!Boom!
Swish!
That was the sound of O'Neal and Lin Dong landing one after another, accompanied by the sound of the basketball hitting the net.

The electronic scoreboard jumped.

2: 2!

A trace of regret flashed in Lin Dong's eyes.

Big Shark is not a stupid big guy like Jun Uozumi in the Hidaka League. After failing to block the shot just now, the opponent did not make unnecessary hand movements because of the failure, and his mentality is still very stable.

Originally I wanted to play 2+1 and give O'Neal his first kill, but...it's okay, the game has just begun, let's see how many times you can calmly suffer!

On the package arrangement!
"Hi!" Lin Dong smiled and greeted O'Neal: "Shaq, you did a good job, you almost guarded me."

If the stimulation is not enough, words will make up for it... That's what trash talk is for!
It was just a word. O'Neal, who was still immersed in Lin Dong's terrifying ability to stay in the air just now, was stunned. Kobe, who was next to the two of them, was also stunned.

Watt...Faq? !

What kind of nonsense is this? What kind of bullshit, arrogant newcomer’s speech is this?

O'Neal's mouth was wide open. Even if he was beaten to death, he never expected that one day, a newcomer would dare to stand in front of him and say such words.

Do I know you very well? Who does this guy think he is? Does he think he is basketball god Michael Jordan? !
