NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 154 Shipwreck
After laughing, Chen Xiao also restrained his smile, we are civilized people, we don't easily laugh at the disadvantaged, just now we just couldn't help it.

Clap your hands, give little encouragement to Jordan who is about to take the basketball, and always look forward to Xiao Danzi's next free throw.

Little Jordan gouged Chen Xiao dissatisfiedly, took the ball, took a deep breath, and continued to repeat the seemingly reliable forward swing.

"Boom!" The basketball was in close contact with the ring, and Chen Xiao, who had stepped out of the basketball and stuck Griffin beside him, helped his teammate Mullens protect the defensive rebound.

Chen Xiao belongs to the team. In order to ensure defensive rebounds and help his teammates get stuck, he gave up one.

Obviously, Jordan missed two free throws this time, which can be regarded as a kind of stable performance.

Get the rebound, Bobcats began to advance.

The defense this time is equivalent to no cost, the only thing is to pad a foul to reach the bonus, but judging from Jordan's free throw level of Griffin today, he is not afraid of too many fouls at all, but not enough fouls on the field.

"Go! Bobcats, score this goal!" The on-site commentator Knight shouted and cheered, and the fans in the audience also looked forward to seeing how many points this offensive and defensive round could earn.

Walker took the ball to the top of the arc, while Middleton was waiting on the left wing.

Leaning against Jordan with his wide body, Chen Xiao successfully received Middleton's second pass from outside the paint area.

It's been 10 minutes since he played against Jordan, and Chen Xiao already has a good understanding of Jordan's single defense.

After the left side is cleared, make sure there is room for the movement to continue.

Chen Xiao leaned back, immediately dropped the ball and turned towards the bottom line. After the turn was completed, he immediately double-turned and came to the upper line.

Take off with one foot on the left foot, catch the ball with the right hand and raise it high, with a hook of the fingers and the wrist, it is another steady right sky hook.

Although Jordan was able to react, Chen Xiao, who was unable to keep his body stable in the center of the paint area, lost his standard just by reaching out.

"Shua!", the Bobcats recovered 2 points.

"Pick up the ball, DeAndre. Free throw time is up." Chen Xiao pointed to the free throw line behind him.

At this time, the Clippers coach Denagro on the sidelines was also in a tangle. Jordan missed two free throws and couldn't prevent Chen Xiao when he came back. This was a completely negative effect on the court.

In the game against the Raptors, Jordan didn't play in the last quarter. Do you want to replace Jordan first?

But this is not a dead ball round, if you want to change it, you have to call a timeout.

Still take it easy, watch another round.De Nagro decided to wait and see, as long as Jordan made two free throws in the follow-up, then he would be worth playing. After all, who would face Chen Xiao except Jordan?
After Jordan was replaced in the first quarter, Turiaf's matchup made De Nagro sober, and then directly locked Jordan and Chen Xiao.

Jordan, who missed all the free throws and got hooked by Chen Xiao on the head, was very annoyed now. He grabbed the ball and threw it on the ground with both hands, walking slowly towards the baseline.

At this time, Walker, who had only one foul on his body, was ready on the baseline. Jordan even ran past the 1-foot Walker if he wanted to.

The Bobcats and the neutral fans looked at Jordan, who had a loveless expression, and felt that it was time to turn on the screen to watch the game.

"Blake, you serve." Seeing Jordan's appearance, Paul, who was afraid that he would directly serve the ball to Walker, ordered a substitution to serve.

But the result was the same. The referee's whistle sounded as soon as the ball was sent from Griffin's hand to Paul's.

Walker actively raised his right hand to signal my foul.

Little Jordan stepped to the free throw line again with a look of helplessness.

"Don't be influenced by other people, make free throws, allright?" Before the free throw, Paul communicated with Jordan, trying to get a psychological massage.

Jordan nodded, took the ball, took a deep breath, and made his third consecutive free throw amidst the boos and jeers of the fans.

"Boom!" This time, the force was slightly stronger, and the basketball bounced off the basket after hitting it.

At this time, the most nervous thing in the arena is undoubtedly Jordan, who still has three free throws in a row, and the most tangled one is undoubtedly the Clippers coach De Nagro on the sidelines.

"In, in, in." In its endless anticipation.

"Shua!" Little Jordan finally hit the second free throw, holding his breath.

Huh, I don't know how many games on and off the court, the Clippers fans in front of and behind the screen exhaled.

"One of two free throws is already a good result for Jordan and the Clippers. If they can defend the Bobcats' offense, then they can still maintain a 2-point lead."

The timer time passed little by little, and finally the orange time was displayed within 2:00.

In the past scoring time, Jordan surpassed Howard and went to the free throw line a total of 6 times.

He made 12 free throws and made 5 of them. Except for the first two free throws, he kept a high degree of stability, with two hits and one hit, and two hits and one.

In the end, there is still a hit rate of nearly 4%, which is higher than the season average.

支付5分获得6次转换球权的山猫由陈逍得到4分，沃克2分，亨德森2分。

5:8, the Bobcats earned 3 points.

After the Bobcats exchanged the ball rights six times, the two teams tied at 107, and the time entered the last moment, and the traditional hacking tactics were also restricted.

In the earliest days of the game, at any time during the game, a player could be fouled regardless of whether he had the ball or not, sending him to the free throw line.

The earliest well-known victim was Chamberlain, who averaged 51% of his free throws in his career, and even worse had more than one 40% shooting season in a specific year, so it was also called the "cut Zhang" tactic at that time.

Although Chamberlain had sought a psychiatrist to improve his free throw percentage, in the end the doctor made better penalties than him, and his free throws still did not improve.

Opponents wanted to foul Chamberlain, and Chamberlain didn't want to get to the line because of his own incurable free throws.

This also created the spectacle of the 60s NBA. Chamberlain played a "peek-a-boo" game with defenders and people trying to foul on the field. The audience seemed to be watching a football game on the floor instead of a basketball game. .

In the words of Pat Wright: They made this new rule because fouling players without the ball is very unintelligent. Chasing Chamberlain like a "peek-a-boo" foul is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life One, the silly sight of Wilt playing peek-a-boo is what prompted the league to introduce new rules.

In the end, the league officials formulated an off-the-ball foul (foul against players who did not have the ball or did not receive the ball 2 minutes before the end, and the ball was retained after the free throw), in order to limit this funny scene as much as possible.

Going back to the game between the Clippers and the Bobcats, Jordan, who made 4% of his field goals, is obviously comparable to Zhang Dashuai, who had the worst free throw season.

At the last moment, the Clippers had the ball.

Paul, who didn't hold the ball for more than 2 seconds for 3 consecutive minutes, finally got the ball and dribbled steadily on the outside looking for opportunities.

Since Jordan is on the court, he must play the role of Jordan. Paul used the pick-and-roll to break into the three-point line from the right wing. Facing Chen Xiao, Paul transferred the ball to Griffin, who was above the free throw line.

At this time, because Paul's breakthrough shrunk the Bobcats' defensive formation, even Mullens, who was not the defender, shrank a step to the right.

Griffin, who was one step inside the three-point line, got an open chance to shoot directly. Griffin, who was not confident about his two-pointer, did not take the shot rashly, but transferred the ball to Crowe, who was outside the three-point line on the left. Ford.

Ke Lu has no psychological burden, that's what he does. Facing Henderson, he takes a sudden step and directly pulls out his hand.

But self-confidence does not mean that you can hit it. Crawford, who has not touched the ball for several minutes, missed the ball.

Chen Xiao, who returned to the basket, successfully protected the rebound. This time, Jordan next to him didn't even look at the ball in Chen Xiao's hands, and turned back to defend.

Seeing that the Clippers players were very knowledgeable, Chen Xiao steadily threw the ball to Walker.

At the critical moment, Chen Xiao, who felt good today, went straight into the paint, squeezed Jordan away and turned around to ask for the ball, but Walker, who was entangled by Paul, was able to protect the ball but couldn't get in in time.

Chen Xiao had no choice but to quickly withdraw from the inside and went outside the paint to catch the ball.

"Kemba, the ball!" Chen Xiao, who wanted to take a seat, yelled at Walker outside the line.

At this time, Walker also used Middleton's off-ball screen on the same side to temporarily break away from Paul, who had used his real skills, and hit the ball into the inside.

With his right hand, he pulled away Jordan's attempt to draw the ball, and Chen Xiao reached out with his left hand, and firmly grasped the ball.

Adjust your body posture, sink your center of gravity and start back hitting.

At this time, Chen Xiao, who had been fighting with Xiao Qiaodan for a whole round, was exhausted physically, but the uncle behind him, whose face was covered with sweat, was sure that his physical strength would not be better than his own at this moment.

"Boom", "Boom".At the end of the game, Chen Xiao, who was able to hit close to his maximum strength, had successfully entered the paint zone after two consecutive back hits, as if he was pushing a slowly collapsing mountain of dirt.

Collecting the ball with both hands and turning towards the baseline, Barnes suddenly jumped out of the empty baseline in front of him.

Chen Xiao was a little flustered, but he was not far from the basket, and was about to raise his right hand to hook and shoot directly over Barnes' head.

"Crack", Barnes didn't know whether he wanted to block the shot or deliberately fouled, and hit Chen Xiao's arm.

Chen Xiao, who was unsteady in his strength, hooked the ball, but the basketball obviously didn't follow the original trajectory, and it bounced off the front basket.

At this time, Barnes was taken aback and almost sent a 2+1. It seems that the strength is not enough?But looking at the obvious red mark on Chen Xiao's arm, it seems that it can't be hit with ordinary force.

Chen Xiao, who had obvious arm pain, rubbed his arm and did not forget to respond to the Clippers' provocation: "DeAndre, thank Matt. He gave you the opportunity to observe what is called a key free throw."

"Are you serious, Chen. I admit that your free throws are better than mine, but I don't believe that you will be able to hit all of them. If you only hit one of two free throws, it's no better than me." Unconvinced little Jordan yelled, only I feel that Chen Xiao is just laughing at fifty steps, and Xiao 7% makes free throws to laugh at him 4%.

Well, 7 is really less than twice as high as 4.

"I didn't get sent to the free throw line six times in a row. Look."

Chen Xiao received the ball, finished the movements, and after familiarizing himself with the feeling of his arm, he gently pulled out the basketball.

"唰" hit the first penalty.

The same is true for the second ball, and the basketball makes a wonderful friction sound when it makes contact with the net.

Going back to the Bobcats halftime, "Look hard and learn hard." Chen Xiao, who was tireless in teaching, told Jordan.

At this moment, Little Qiaodan was a little moved. Chen Xiao, who didn't miss a free throw today, broke his sense of "we two are [-]-[-]".

It seems that he has to admit that Chen Xiao's free throw skills are a bit higher than his own, at least the way of pretending to be aggressive is very learnable.

And he knew that Chen Xiao's free throws in the NCAA were worse than they are now. It only took one offseason for Chen Xiao to fully adapt to the rhythm of the NBA and improve his free throw percentage. This is obviously not an easy task.

Maybe, I can ask my current opponent, Chen Xiao, for advice?Learn from the barbarians to master their skills to control the barbarians.

"DeAndre!" Paul called Jordan to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jordan, who was a little distracted, was suddenly awakened, and hurriedly ran out of the three-point line with big strides.

"Bang" Paul, who received the ball from outside the three-point line after Jordan's pick-and-roll, made a three-pointer, but the rebound was grabbed by Griffin who rose into the air. Facing the pincer attack of Mullens and Middleton, Griffin Barely tossing the ball to an empty Barnes.

The "bang" feel may be contagious. Barnes, who had already hit 3 three-pointers in this quarter, also missed three-pointers.

"My board!" Chen Xiao jumped up and grabbed the backboard with one hand after pushing Jordan away. After landing, he folded his hands together to protect the backboard tightly.

"The Clippers' touch is intermittent. Paul and Barnes both hit a three-pointer before half a quarter, leading the lead, and now they are hitting iron at the same time. The Clippers are in danger." Breen said with emotion.

"So I often emphasize the role of the center. It's hard to win championships with outside jumpers. You need a big guy at the basket who can score, draw fouls, protect rebounds, and attract defenses.

See, that's what a center forward does.Backing up is easy to pass a good ball, allowing teammates to score easily. "Jr. Van Gundy said with a smile.

While he was speaking, Chen Xiao, who was holding the ball inside, "dragged" Jordan and Griffin to his side, and assisted Mullens to score an inside dunk.

But that is because Mullens made an air cut, Chen Xiao thought that Jordan would stand up to him, so he wouldn't be able to help defend and block the shot.

If Mullens was waiting for the ball on the outside, Chen Xiao might also give it, but then he had to hesitate.

And this kind of ball that everyone knows can score as long as it is given, Chen Xiao naturally does not hesitate, and now he also has the ability to pass this kind of chance ball.

"Buzz buzz" the bell rang for the end of the game.

Bobcats home 114:111 narrowly repelled the West Coast visitors.
