Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 660: Black hole in the stadium!

It is actually not a simple matter for Martial Arts to implement Coach Philip's tactical strategy. Sometimes a player's performance on the court not only depends on his own strength, but is also affected by some off-court factors.

These off-field factors have a bad side, and naturally they also have a good side.

The cheers of the fans lingering around the stadium more or less set up Martial Arts. If there is no way to repay the fans with excellent performance, Martial Arts will still feel a little regretful.

The game entered the third quarter and Eastern had the ball.

Just as Wu Dao was thinking about how to play this quarter, Kobe Bryant came to Wu Dao's side when the defense was in position, and suggested to Wu Dao:
"Hey, Martial Arts."

"Are you interested in competing with me?"

"Look at the two of us in this quarter, who can score more!"

Kobe's winning mentality is sometimes not only shown in front of his opponents, but he will also show this side of him even in front of his teammates.

No, martial arts, which Kobe regarded as an opponent that needed to be defeated, became his hunting target in Jordan's absence.

"Not interested."

"I just want to win."

"It doesn't matter how many points you score."

If Coach Phillip and Garnett, who are both Timberwolves, heard what Wu Dao said, they would be shocked. Once upon a time, Wu Dao was the kind of person who would say things like, "Victory without me means nothing." people.

In the eyes of Garnett and Phillip, members of the Wolves, although today's martial arts feel that they have changed, in their eyes, they are still the sharp-edged young leader.

Such Buddhist words should not have come from the mouth of a martial artist.

But facing Kobe, Wu Dao said this.

After hearing Wu Dao's words, Kobe also looked at Wu Dao thoughtfully, silently stepped aside and positioned himself to defend.

The players from the Eastern Conference were approaching quickly. Kobe was thinking about the words of martial arts in his mind and focused on his opponents.

The purpose of players playing on the court is to win.

This is a truth that everyone can understand, but it is very simple to understand this truth. It is not easy to play for the team to win wholeheartedly.

The NBA is a business league, and the word "business" means that it is a profit-oriented arena.

Players in the NBA are always distracted by one thing or another. Many players ignore the most important thing in the game in order to pursue big contracts and personal data.

Victory, everything the players do is for victory.

But in the NBA, there are not many players who still have such a pure purpose.

Kobe is one of them.

He had the same mentality as Wu Dao when he first entered the league. As a substitute for the Lakers, he wanted to perform on the court, perform in front of fans and coaches, in order to make himself seen by more people. .

He doesn't want to continue being a substitute, he wants everyone to see how powerful he is.

He wants to surpass O'Neal, he wants to become the boss of the team, and have a "own team" like Jordan.

Entering the All-Stars is a very good opportunity for Kobe, an opportunity to prove that his strength is not limited to the bench!
Kobe always thought that Wu Dao and he were the same kind of people, but after a brief conversation with Wu Dao today, Kobe suddenly discovered that he and Wu Dao were a little different.

Budao seems to have his own team. He seems to be like those really big stars. He is superior to others and starts to look down on other players.

Kobe could taste the disdain in what Wu Dao just said!
"I won't let anyone look down on me, not even you!"

Kobe looked at the approaching opponent with a serious face and thought to himself.

The East's attack ended with the attack of the inside players, but the shot was interfered by Duncan and missed. David Robinson, who had just come on, also successfully picked up the rebound.

Offensive and defensive transition.

The basketball was played in the backcourt of the Western Conference. Mitch Richmond quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. Facing Tim Hardaway's defense, Mitch Richmond acted very relaxed. He is 196cm tall and weighs At 98kg, his figure cannot be shaken by Tim Hardaway.

Mitch Richmond holds the ball at the top of the arc, and Tim Hardaway is also forced by the opponent's assault ability and does not dare to move too forward to defend.

Almost all the small defenders of this era have one thing in common, that is, when faced with players who are about two meters tall and capable of strong breakthroughs, each of the small defenders will become a "sieve", and the defense is full of flaws!

So, after dribbling the ball for a while, Mitch Richmond noticed that his opponent did not reveal any obvious flaws and did not hesitate, so he decided to give it a try.

As a result, in this try, Mitch Richmond directly broke through the opponent's Tim Hardaway's defense and easily reached the basket.

Fortunately, the East's interior players made up the defense in a timely manner and did not give Mitch Richmond a chance to go to the blue. It was just that his teammates' defense was penetrated. Naturally, there were some flaws in the East's defense.

Mitch Richmond made a fake shot and passed the ball in the gap, and sent the ball to Duncan under the basket. The latter took the ball, raised the ball to cover Steve Smith, and then directly blasted the ball from Steve Smith. Steve Smith passed by Steve Smith's side and withstood the opponent's pursuit under Steve Smith's pursuit. He grabbed the ball with his left hand and scored with a split dunk.

Duncan's physical confrontation ability is outstanding, and Steve Smith, who is only just over two meters tall, has no way to stop him.

The Western Conference scored easily, and their rotation performance on the defensive end was also quite good.

Looking back, during the Eastern Conference's offensive round, Steve Smith set up a pick-and-roll for Walker, who was facing off against Wu Dao. The latter relied on historical explosive power to pass by Wu Dao in one step and instantly passed Wu Dao, intending to go straight to the basket. , but was blocked by Duncan who switched defenses in time.

Antoine Walker seemed to be a little unfaithful. He felt that he had outstanding speed and did not take Duncan to heart. After traveling to the mid-range, he closely followed Duncan's defense, turned his back sharply, and shot a small throw directly under the basket.

However, Duncan, who was guarding Antoine Walker, quickly turned around and went back to the basket when the opponent turned his back to break through. The moment Walker took action, Duncan was already chasing him to his side, leaping high and making a chasing block. The racket flew directly out of the basket.

"oh——"

The intimidating block caused bursts of exclamations from the stands. Wu Dao, who looked back at the basket, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Garnett is not the only player with a historical level of help defense ability.

Duncan's low profile seems to make people forget how terrifying his ability and talent are. Not only does he have the speed to chase Antoine Walker in the short distance, but Duncan's jumping ability is also quite terrifying.

Wu Dao's gaze retracted, and he suddenly knew in his mind how he should play this section.

When your own light is dazzling, how can you become less noticeable? Either completely block your own light, or be in the same space as a stronger light source.

Duncan has such talent and ability. As for why not Kobe?
Because any ball that Nacha can handle, Martial Arts can handle. Martial Arts just wants other teammates to be able to perform, but he doesn’t want anyone to step on his head and use his reputation to make others famous!

East sideline ball, this time, their defense is simpler to handle the ball.

Walker's speed can be used. This is known to the players in the Eastern Conference. Steve Smith in the inside repeated his old trick, raising the pick and roll. Walker used the pick and roll to quickly pass through Wu Dao's side. This time, he He chose a high-post jump shot.

Apparently Duncan's big hat just left a small shadow on him.

However, Walker's shooting was so-so, and the basketball bounced out of the basket and was grabbed by Duncan.

After Robinson came on the court, the offensive pace of the Western Conference slowed down slightly. Mitch Richmond also handled the ball more carefully. His opponent was a traditional small man who stood out with a small speed. Mitch Richmond had to What we do is to be steady and not give the other party any chance.

After slowly dribbling the ball across the midline and into the frontcourt, Mitch Richmond ignored Kobe, who was reaching for the ball towards him, and instead gave the ball to Budo on the other wing, who showed no intention of catching the ball.

Player reputation, many of the benefits that this kind of thing can bring to players are relatively hidden. Just like now, even if Wu Dao does not reveal the intention of holding the ball and attacking, unfamiliar teammates who are working together for the first time will still Choose to give him the ball.

Kobe was looking forward to it, but he was still ignored by Mitch Richmond.

After the basketball was passed, Mitch Richmond was not idle. He quickly left the top of the arc and rushed to Walker to set a screen for Wu Dao.

Mitch Richmond has been watching the court for a lot of time, and he has also noticed the previous performance of martial arts. Even Michael Jordan can break through martial arts. If he misplaces the "little bug" Tim Harda of the Eastern Conference in singles Wei, isn't this easy to grasp? !
When setting a pick-and-roll for Budo, Mitch Richmond had already simulated the team's scoring in his mind.

"."

After Wu Dao got the ball, his original intention was to break up Duncan and create offensive opportunities for Duncan.

But unexpectedly, after the ball was released, his teammate did not run away but instead set a pick-and-roll for himself, creating a mismatch opportunity for him.

This kind of opportunity is really great for martial arts, but I would be a little sorry for the enthusiasm of my teammates!
Wu Dao dropped the ball with his left hand and took a step laterally in the direction of Mickey Richmond's pick-and-roll. Then without any extra movement, he quickly combined the ball and shot directly against the three-point line, completely ignoring the change of defense. Tim Hardaway pounces.

The basketball quickly spun in the air and fell towards the net. In the eyes of the audience, the basketball fell and fell steadily into the basket.

There were some cheers in the stands. When they saw Wu Dao's goal, the fans behaved very calmly. In the eyes of many people, Wu Dao deserved to score such a goal.

This kind of "open" three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, in the eyes of many fans, "I can do it if I can."

Easily scoring points, Wu Dao's personal score increased by another three points.

After lightly high-fiving Mitch Richmond, the team quickly returned to defense.

The score difference between the Eastern and Western teams gradually widened. Under such a situation, the Eastern Conference planned to use the most reliable scoring method and give the ball to their team's "224".

Basketball in this era relies heavily on the offensive power of center players. This is very different from the small ball era. Rick Schmitz turned around after receiving the basketball bomb, shot a small hook shot, and easily won the ball. It was sent into the net to "stop the bleeding" in the east.

"Come up and double-team us."

After David Robinson failed on defense, he shouted towards Kobe Bryant a few meters away.

Before Rick Schmitz took the shot, there was a lot of conduct in the Eastern Conference at this time, and the opponent's position was relatively outside. If Kobe could come back and double-team, Rick Schmitz would not be able to hit the ball so easily.

Although Robinson is a famous player, he is old after all. He is actually deteriorating very quickly now. His strength is completely different from what he was at his peak, and his height is at an absolute disadvantage.

After hearing Robinson's words, Kobe acted indifferently, glanced at Robinson, and ran directly towards the Eastern half.

A big star like you can't handle a "little star" like Rick Schmitz?
Pull the crotch.

This is the real thought in Kobe's mind, but he just didn't say it out loud.

Kobe's ignorance made David Robinson even more angry. His face twitched and he tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart. He was a well-educated person and could not be embarrassed in front of the media!
"My, I'll take my time."

At this time, those with high emotional intelligence will know how to resolve such conflicts within the team. Martial Arts on the other side apologized to David Robinson and "gently" took the responsibility on himself.

"It's not your problem."

David Robinson took a deep breath and forced a smile towards Martial Arts.

Compared with some people, there is a huge difference between the Timberwolves, a leader with a big picture and team spirit, and some people! ! !
"Kobe is still young, David, please take care of him."

Martial arts tea said to Robinson in a chatty tone. After speaking, he turned around and ran quickly towards the frontcourt.

Look at this magnanimity!

Robinson looked at Wu Dao's leaving figure and felt much relieved. After sending the ball out of the backcourt, he quickly kept up with his teammates.

This time, Mitch Richmond did not ignore Kobe's request for the ball. He had no choice but to do so. Kobe had already started shouting, quite loudly. It would be rude to ignore it any more.

The basketball was given to Kobe. The latter caught the ball and dropped the ball directly. After two steps, he was forced to stop. In this case, Kobe finally revealed his intention to pass the ball.

He grabbed the ball with both hands and pointed it in the direction of Mitch Richmond, then turned over and shot from behind.

He actually took action resolutely after passing the ball fake.

It's just that Kobe's operation was arrogant, but the basketball didn't give him any face. He broke out of the basket and the rebound was taken by David Robinson who was actively fighting for it.

When Kobe saw this, he quickly passed the defender and cut for the ball.

However, David Robinson, who got the rebound, ignored Kobe who was cutting in the air. Instead, he chose the long distance and threw the ball to Budao, who was being marked outside the three-point line.

"."

Starting with basketball, the players in the East all looked towards martial arts.

"What?!"

Martial arts is like a black hole on the court, the ball will be attracted to him spontaneously.

Although he really wants to abide by the coach's instructions, it is not his style to be able to attack or not.

After lifting the ball and making a feint, Wu Dao dropped the ball sideways, took a quick step laterally, and made another three-pointer.

Wu Dao's shot seemed random to others, but in the eyes of everyone, the basketball passed through the air again and fell into the net.

"Shh!"
