Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

During the exchange of offense and defense, the green team also quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

A high school student from Wu Dao scored three goals in a row. At this moment, not only Ryder felt that he had lost face, but also everyone else on the green team felt that they had lost face.

This is especially true for Garnett, who failed to defend martial arts head-on.

Not to mention that he is now a professional player who has officially entered the NBA through the draft. Even though he is still a senior in high school, he definitely does not want to be compared to Wu Dao, a sophomore in high school.

Although it is just an insignificant team practice match, there are so many people watching from the sidelines. If his performance as a rookie is not as good as that of a high school sophomore who came to visit the trial, what will his teammates and coaches think of him in the future?

The green team players, who were planning to watch Ryder and Budao face off, had their mentality quietly change at this moment.

On the court, as Leder approached the top of the arc with the ball, the green team's players became more frequent.Garnett on the inside even got stuck on his opponent, raising his arms high to try and hit him with the ball.

However, Garnett's efforts are destined to be meaningless.

Because at this moment, Leder was completely on top. He didn't care whether other teammates were in an open position. He only had one thing in his mind, and that was to blow up the "yellow-skinned monkey" in front of him!
Although he has been training indoors all year round, his skin is still fair~
Drop the ball, dig in and accelerate.

Leder had a tough head, and he didn't seem to recognize Wu Dao's defensive ability. After Wu Dao blocked two consecutive goals and interfered with one goal, Wu Dao still launched the "charge."

But this time, his movements were much more concise and clear. He started digging very quickly, and his shoulders quickly pressed against Wu Dao's chest.

"Well?"

Just as Budo was about to slide closer, Leder suddenly raised his elbow as he rushed to Budao's side. During the sudden advance, his ball protector could not leave the "cylinder" with him as the benchmark. But at this time, Leder had a It was a very obvious movement of raising the elbow, and the elbow directly touched Wu Dao's chest.

In order to cover up his foul action, Leder took advantage of the situation while raising his elbow, took two steps forward, jumped directly, and threw the basketball in his hand.

Wu Dao's reaction was very quick. When the opponent reached for his elbow, Wu Dao leaned back. When Ryder's elbow hit Wu Dao's body, he had already leaned back a lot. When Ryder joined the ball, Wu Dao did the same. He fell down and lay directly on the floor.

"Oh!"

"Shh!"

The sound made when Wu Dao fell to the ground was almost synchronized with the sound of the basketball net. Although the referee on the sideline could not see Leder's movements clearly due to the obstruction of his line of sight, this did not prevent him from calling the penalty.

After a sharp whistle, the referee waved his hand to indicate that the goal was invalid, and then immediately awarded Leder an offensive foul.

As for Wu Dao, who was lying on the ground, after hearing the referee's decision, he pretended to rub his chest and put on a "pain mask" with his acting skills.

Then he slowly stood up from the floor.

"Fake!"

"How could this be a foul on my part?"

Ryder was a little angry after receiving the foul, but his family knew about his family affairs. Although they shouted, they did not pester the referee to change the decision.

After complaining for a few words, he looked at Wu Dao getting up from the floor and cursed: "You are lucky."

In response to Ryder's harsh words, Wu Dao spread his hands indifferently. After Rydel turned around and defended, Wu Dao looked at Ryder's back and lowered his eyelids slightly, narrowing his eyes.

The ball was exchanged, and Wu Dao trotted towards the frontcourt.

The white team served the ball from the sideline. Under the control of the defender, the white team quickly came to the frontcourt. As the players took their positions one after another, the players on the back line immediately saw the player standing in the corner outside the three-point line. Budo reached out to him for the ball.

The player holding the ball on the white team is called Jerome Allen. He is 193cm tall and weighs 83kg. He is a guard selected by the Timberwolves with the 20th pick in the second round of the draft this year.

He is considered a rookie at the same time as Garnett.

In addition to him, the white team's black player standing in the corner on the other side at this time is named Mark Davis. He is 201cm tall, weighs 93kg, and serves as a forward.

He is also the rookie selected by the Timberwolves with the 19th overall pick in the second round this year.

While Wu Dao was asking for the ball, Mark Davis also quickly bypassed the opponent and cut into the middle distance, which was a good opportunity to catch the ball and attack.

Jerome Allen glanced at Wu Dao and noticed that Mark Davis had already rushed into the mid-range. After a moment of hesitation, he chose to trust his rookie of the same period and gave the ball to the middle.

As soon as the basketball came into play, Mark Davis' opponent who was left behind him a second ago had quickly reached his side. Garnett also came up to cover the defense almost at the same time, instantly giving Mark Davis a pass. Wes comes in with a double team.

The opportunities in the eyes of Mark Davis and Jerome Allen were instantly made up for by the Green Team's defense.

Facing a double team, Mark Davis didn't dare to continue to take the ball and attack?Facing Garnett's replacement, Mark Davis didn't dare
He, a second-round pick, didn't even have the courage to challenge Garnett, a first-round pick.

He wanted to pass back, but saw that Jerome Allen had been blocked by his opponent.

At this moment, Mark Davis saw the martial arts on the outside.Unlike Jerome Allen who was blocked, Budo was a bit taller than his opponent Ryder.

Moreover, Leder seemed not to prevent Wu Dao from getting the ball at all. He stood nearly one meter in front of Wu Dao within the three-point line and even gave up half of his body.

Mark Davis didn't have time to think. He just flicked his arms and threw the ball towards Wu Dao on the outside.

Wu Dao, who was standing on the outside, just stood on tiptoe and reached out to grab the ball. When he put the ball in his arms, Ryder quickly came to Wu Dao and said to Wu Dao:

"Come on, boy."

"Let you feel the defensive intensity of the NBA."

"Don't think that just because you score a few goals by chance, you think you're great."

"You just can't see enough!"

Ryder was chattering endlessly, and his body had arrived in front of Wu Dao, his chest pressed tightly against Wu Dao for personal defense.

Wu Dao grabbed the ball with his right hand, turned slightly sideways, facing Ryder's chest with his left side, and staggered his feet slightly.Seeing Wu Dao's movements, Ryder quickly adjusted his position and focused his defense on Wu Dao's follow-up ball breakthrough.

Seeing this kind of defense, the basketball also fell to the ground while Wu Dao started his step-up sequence.

However, after a sudden advance, Wu Dao suddenly changed direction in front of him and pulled back with the ball. While Leder paused to chase, Wu Dao turned around directly next to Leder, and instantly wiped out his opponent and entered the three-point line.

After breaking through Leder, Budo also quickly accelerated. During the acceleration process, he even had time to look back at Leder, and then quickly combined the ball at the side of the free throw line, made a pull-up jumper, and threw the ball into the open space.

"Shh!"

He raised the knife with his hand and dropped it. The basketball accurately hit the net and made a crisp sound.

It wasn't until after Wu Dao's shot fell back to the ground that Ryder arrived belatedly and rushed to Wu Dao's side. When he saw the basketball entering the net, his face turned darker again.

Without talking nonsense to Leder, Wu Dao just glanced at Leder lightly, turned around, and stepped back to defend.

After the exchange of ball rights, the Green team's counterattack this time seemed much more reasonable, because Leder did not receive the ball in the backcourt, and his teammates had no intention of passing the ball to Leder, but gave the ball to him early. Garnett in the inside position.Garnett swept the ball in the low post and faced the frame. After a tentative step, he pulled up and shot. An "iron-blooded jump shot" sent the ball into the basket.

On the white team's side, Budo's offensive performance when facing Ryder seemed to have gained some recognition from his teammates.

This time, Jerome Allen passed the ball to Budao immediately after entering the frontcourt with the ball.As a defender, he does not have as strong a desire to perform as Leder.

And at this moment, Jerome Allen also figured out that instead of giving the ball to the rookie in the same class as himself, he might as well give the ball to Wu Dao, a high school sophomore who was on trial.

The NBA is a very realistic place. Even if the positions are different between rookies, there is still competition.

If your teammates perform well, you will inevitably be compared to yourself.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to let Wu Dao, the trial training person, feel more comfortable. At least, there is no so-called "interest relationship" between Wu Dao and him for the time being.

And the martial arts so far have been pretty good.

Isn't that what a defender should do when he passes the ball to a teammate who is feeling hot?
The basketball fell into Wu Dao's hands. Jerome Allen also ran quickly after releasing the ball, passing through the inside. Then seeing that his running could not attract too many people, he sank towards the bottom corner.

Mark Davis saw that his teammates did not pass the ball to him, but he did not want to be useless. After receiving the ball from Wu Dao, he immediately rushed towards Wu Dao, trying to set up a pick-and-roll for Wu Dao.

But before Mark Davis arrived, Wu Dao had already made a breakthrough.

This time, Wu Dao did not use any fancy breakthrough techniques, nor did he use too complicated breakthrough movements. He simply accelerated with a digging step, and Wu Dao's side body directly hit Ryder's body.

Huge power was poured out on his body, and Ryder who followed up was staggered directly by Wu Dao. Just after he stood up, he saw Wu Dao quickly change direction in front of his body, and he had already passed him cleanly.

Wu Dao, who was two positions behind Leder, made another mid-range jump shot with a wide open space. The basketball flew directly from his hands and then fell steadily into the basket.

Budao once again penetrated Leder's defense and once again sent the ball into the basket.

After several offenses and defenses, Wu Dao's personal score has successfully reached double figures.

On the side of the court, Coach Bill looked at the martial arts on the court in surprise, with many inexplicable emotions in his eyes.

Although manager Phillip Sanders was dissatisfied with the sudden "warmness" of Budo's playing, when he saw that Budo successfully scored in double figures, he stood up again, clapped, and shouted towards Budo who was returning to defense:

"Well done! Martial arts."

“Keep the momentum going and play well.”

After all, he was the player he called for trial training. In front of Coach Bill and other players, Flip Saunders would not criticize martial arts. Doing so would only lose his own face.

The better his performance in martial arts, the more discerning he becomes as a manager who explores martial arts and comes to the Timberwolves for trial training.

The excellence of a player needs to be praised, recognized and praised!

As long as there are enough people bragging about it, Ah Tan can surpass Jordan and become the only "goat".As long as there are enough people bragging about it, Yanni can be compared to Liu Xiang in the same position.

The recognition of martial arts shown by Phillip Saunders at this time will lead other people to become "supporters" of martial arts.

Of course, this is an exaggeration, but one thing is certain, that is, no one on the Timberwolves' bench dares to underestimate the high school student on the court.

The game is still going on.

When the Green Team serves from the baseline, either Garnett or another center will selectively avoid giving the ball to Leder.

Because they know that giving the ball to Leder will get nothing more than losing the opportunity.

Now, the players on the green team no longer have the mentality to watch the show.

After just a few rounds of offense and defense, they were already chased by Martial Arts by 8 points. If the team was led by a high school student and a group of rookies, would they, the backbone of the Timberwolves, still have to mess around?

The green team's offense became smoother instantly after abandoning Ryder. Wu Dao and his teammates had no so-called tacit understanding at all. Even when changing defense, they had to remind each other loudly.

But such a change of defense will inevitably be half a beat slower.

Soon, the Green Team relied on continuous pick-and-rolls and successfully ran out of the open space. Garnett cut into the basket and directly scored with a dunk.

In the next two rounds, Wu Dao was unable to catch the ball. It was not for any other reason, but simply because Jerome Allen made a dribbling error. When avoiding the steal, the basketball hit his foot and rolled out. The outside world.

Then the green team succeeded in a fast break counterattack.

The second time, Jerome Allen obviously wanted to make up for the mistake he had just committed. He "tampered" with the ball at the top of the arc for a while and then broke through. As a result, he was staggered when he rushed in and forced the ball. Strike the iron.

Fortunately, Christian Laettner, who guarded the inside, was strong and scored a tip-in.

After staggeringly completing the attack, the green team also quickly counterattacked. Garnett ran out of the space, received a pass from his teammate and made a "iron-blooded mid-range shot." Although the basketball crashed out of the basket, Garnett reacted quickly and rushed for the ball. The rebound was successful, and then he scored under the basket.

Both offensive and defensive ends were somewhat stumbling in these two rounds. After regaining the ball, Jerome Allen suddenly felt that the offensive point of Martial Arts was so reliable.

Seeing how easy martial arts was, he thought he could do it, but to his disappointment, he couldn't.
This time, Wu Dao still received the ball at the most familiar corner position outside the three-point line.

After a simple side step to explode the ball, Budao stepped back to the three-point line, and in front of Leder, he combined the ball and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Ryder was not very clean in either offense or defense, and Wu Dao had already learned this. Therefore, when Wu Dao pulled up to shoot a three-pointer, he kicked his right foot in front of him, and his shooting action was still quite cool.

To be honest, Leder really didn't mean to step in. He really just wanted to step forward to chase and block the shot. However, he was directly kicked by Martial Arts on the inner thigh, and his body was also stopped as a result. .

Ignoring the pain in his leg, Leder quickly turned his head and looked towards the basket.

I saw that the arc of the basketball thrown by Wu Dao was very comfortable. Under the gaze of everyone, the basketball fell directly into the net and made a crisp sound.

"ohhhh!"

Seeing the basketball hit the net, Tom Gugliotta, the great Timberwolves player on the sidelines, couldn't help but let out a low cry.

For a small forward who averages 1.1 three-pointers per game and has just hit 30% of his three-point shooting percentage, he simply cannot hit a step-back three-pointer like Wu Dao.

This is a technique that is not in his skill arsenal.
Seeing the offensive performance of martial arts at this time, it is no wonder that Tom Gugliotta would exclaim.Not only him, but the players on the bench also focused on Wu Dao.

Looking at the martial arts who wantonly scored points in front of Leder, Flip Saunders knew what the Timberwolves had to do.

"My vision is definitely not wrong. He is definitely a real star prospect!"

"In 97, or the year after next at the earliest, he may participate in the draft. Just in case, we must get a high enough pick!"
