Chapter 19 Do I Have to Pay Compensation?
On the court, Eric Williams moved one step inside the right corner, while Kurt Thomas defended outside the right side of the paint area.
Center Tony Battie was active in the paint, with 64% of his offense occurring in the paint.
At this time, Paul Pierce entered the left elbow area from the left wing to receive the ball, and was immediately double-teamed by the Madman and Howard Ellis.
He immediately passed the ball back to Tony Delk at the top of the arc, Ellis rushed to the top of the arc, and Alan Houston in the right elbow area also immediately rushed to the top of the arc to double-team.
"brush!"
Dirk forced a three-pointer from the top of the arc and actually made it.
"Beautiful, very decisive shot. Tony Dirk's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 39.5%, which is very accurate." Barkley praised.
"The Green Team finally started scoring in the second quarter. Now it's 29:26, and the Knicks are trailing by 3 points at home," said Kenny Smith.
The Knicks attacked, and Alan Houston was unwilling to lose, so he shot a three-pointer from the right wing and made it, and the two sides tied again.
"boom."
It was the green team's turn to attack, and Antoine Walker, the fat man who liked to shoot three-pointers, shot a three-pointer and hit the rim.
Under the basket, on the defensive side, He Zhongqiu used his great strength to trap Tony Battie outside and grabbed the backcourt rebound.
It’s not that he is so good at rebounding, but that his opponents are really weak and their strength and confrontation ability are not on the same level at all.
The Knicks attacked, and the madman had the ball on the right wing. The green team still implemented man-to-man defense, with Pierce guarding him.
The madman faked a breakthrough and shot a three-pointer.
When the madman took the shot, the confrontation under the basket came to an end.
On the defensive side, the 108-kg Tony Battie was trapped behind the 115-kg He Zhongqiu, who occupied the right front side of the basket.
"Oh!"
Being bullied by a rookie from China, he was naturally very angry, and he poked He Zhongqiu in the lower back with an elbow.
It's a pity that a blow of this magnitude was just tickling He Zhongqiu, neither distracting his attention nor shaking his center of gravity.
"boom!"
The next moment, the basketball hit the basket and bounced back, the direction of the rebound was exactly the right front side of the basket, the landing point was the right waist, and was grabbed by He Zhongqiu.
"Rebounding positioning proficiency +3, rebounding prediction proficiency +3."
He grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it high. After two big steps, he leaped towards Tony Battie and chopped down with one arm, like a battle axe, with an extremely wild momentum.
At this moment, he was arrogant and didn't care about the existence of defender Tony Battie at all.
For this ball, he will try his best to declare his presence to everyone.
He jumped at least seventy-five centimeters, while Tony Battie only jumped more than forty centimeters at most, and was completely overwhelmed by him.
"Oh!"
"Aerial confrontation proficiency +3."
The next moment, a dive bombing occurred and Tony Battie was knocked directly away by the terrifying impact force.
"boom!"
Almost at the same time, He Zhongqiu completed a powerful tomahawk slam dunk, with his level 95 strength and level 96 explosive power fully unleashed. As the sharp and short sound of the rim blasted, the entire backboard instantly exploded and turned into countless particles.
"Low-position face-to-basket proficiency +3."
"Completed the dunk for the third time in a row, proficiency +9."
"Completed personal offense for the third time in a row, offensive tactical proficiency +300." At this moment, countless fans felt an extremely strong visual impact, their hearts surged, and adrenaline instantly exploded.
"Oh ho!"
The entire Madison Square Garden was completely on fire. Countless Knicks fans stood up from their seats, raised their arms and cheered. The cheers swept everything like a tsunami until it shook the earth.
Even Ewing didn't have such wild and domineering dunks back then. Since Ewing got old, the Knicks haven't had an outstanding center or an outstanding dunker for a long time. He Zhongqiu's three domineering dunks, especially this one that broke the backboard, completely stimulated the fans' adrenaline.
"Oh oh oh……"
The Knicks' number one fan, Spike Lee, jumped up like crazy, jumping and shouting on the sidelines like a madman.
"This dunk is worth $500 million."
James Dolan's eyes were shining. If there were dunks like this every night, the Knicks' ticket sales would immediately increase by 30%.
Of course, this is just his hope. In fact, the league does not like such things to happen too often because they will cause the game to be interrupted, which will have a great impact on TV broadcasters and fans, and the players' game status will also be affected.
"Scott, you made a great signing."
He looked at the bustling Madison Square Garden, feeling the burning hormones everywhere, and said to Layden very happily.
Trust +1, Trust +1, Trust +1...
Layden seemed to hear a voice in his mind, and he said happily: "James, I hope to make him the next Ewing."
"The next Ewing?" Dolan, in a very good mood, laughed but did not comment.
After all, he is one of the four super centers, and his center skills have reached the pinnacle level, while the rookie's skills are too poor and are now completely incomparable with King Kong.
But he added, "Scott, I actually hope he can be the Knicks' Rain Man. I think if he practices his skills, he has a great chance of becoming the second Rain Man."
"It's done."
Xia Song felt relaxed. With just these three balls, three slam dunks and three dunks, He Zhongqiu's debut was a success.
"As long as Zhongqiu can develop his inside skills, his future will be limitless. I have found a treasure. When I go back, I will treat Wu Jing to a meal and give him a big red envelope."
Yao Ming scored 0 points in his debut, Daba scored 0 points in his debut, and Dazhi scored 5 points with 2 of 6 shots in his debut. Based on the current performance, he believes that He Zhongqiu's debut is definitely the best among the four.
"God, I only saw unparalleled strength and explosiveness in this dunk. I seemed to see Rain Man in his prime."
When the dunk happened, Barkley immediately stood up from the commentary booth with amazement on his face.
Kenny Smith said, "No, Rainman's bench press is not 200 kilograms. He is not strong enough. When it comes to the strength and explosiveness of this Chinese man, I can only think of O'Neal."
Barkley shook his head and said, "No, no, I mean the style of the dunk. O'Neal's dunk is not this explosive style.
The violent style of play that makes people's blood boil, we can see their unparalleled talent with our naked eyes, and every dunk they make is full of visual impact, power, and powerful explosiveness. "
"It looks like the league is going to have another Rain Man."
Kenny Smith sighed and said, "The rookie dunked three times in a row. It was a perfect debut. Tony Battie and Vin Baker were both eaten alive by the rookie. They became stepping stones for the rookie."
"This Chinese kid doesn't look very strong, but his strength is even greater than Garnett's. It's incredible." Barkley shook his head.
"I heard he knows a very powerful Kung Fu, Eagle Kung Fu, which is an insider information of the Knicks and has been reported by many media," said Kenny Smith.
Back on the bench, He Zhongqiu was welcomed, and Don Cheney even handed him a towel and a cup of water personally.
"Rookie, congratulations, you are the first monster to break the backboard in your debut." The madman said excitedly.
"Do I have to pay compensation?" He Zhongqiu asked.
