Chapter 38: Catch the Explosion
Tom Howard analyzed: "If He's performance can continue, he will bring a whole new change to the Knicks.

After the low-post offense and defense are strengthened, the outside strength of the mid-range shooting king and the madman will be released to a great extent, and the overall strength of the Knicks will be greatly improved. "

Michael Breen nodded, shook his head, and said, "It's only the second game and the first start. He needs to perform long-term and steadily. In fact, he is playing with talent now, without much technical content.

This aerial relay is indeed beautiful, but with his talent, I hope he can strengthen his technical practice so that his career can be longer. "

Tom Howard nodded and said, "Every attack and defense is flying in the sky. If you are unlucky, you only need one step on the foot to get seriously injured. For players who play with talent, the biggest fear is injury."

Michael Breen added: "And this rookie has a big weakness, which is that he has no understanding of tactics and cannot integrate into the team's system."

Tom Howard nodded again and said, "I can see that too. He likes to run after the ball. This is a common problem among amateurs."

In the next two minutes, He Zhongqiu grabbed a frontcourt rebound, but he had no chance to shoot and passed the ball.

In the 8th minute of the first quarter, at 18:19, the Knicks led by one point and the Nets attacked.

Kidd broke through with the ball, entered the paint area, and turned around until he reached the left front side of the basket, one step inside the left waist.

The Knicks' restricted area was messed up by him, and the zone defense formation was also in chaos.

He Zhongqiu was attracted to the left front side of the basket, with one foot on the line of the reasonable collision zone, only two meters away from Kidd.

At this moment, behind his back, Kenyon Martin slipped in from the right wing along the baseline and stretched out his hands to Kidd.

Kurt Thomas was guarding the right waist position and was also attracted by Kidd's defensive attention, so he did not notice Kenyon's immediate back cut in time.

"Oh!"

Kidd had a very good vision, and his hands and eyes were quick. With a ground pass, the ball passed through the gap between the madman and He Zhongqiu and into the hands of Kenyon Martin.

He Zhongqiu turned around quickly and stepped into the basket. He saw Kenyon Martin on the right side of the basket had already jumped into the air, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and stretched out his arm to dunk.

"Want to smash my basket again? I'll catch you to death!"

The rage in his heart suddenly emerged. He Zhongqiu shouted in his heart, exerted force with his feet, jumped up instantly, clenched his left hand into an eagle claw, and grabbed the basketball that was hitting the basket.

The master-level Eagle Claw Skill is not only as hard as iron and as strong as steel, but also has accuracy to the point where if I grab your left eye, I won’t grab your right eye.

"Boom!"

With one claw, the basketball that was half an foot away from the basket was caught.

"what?"

A dunk that he was determined to make was blocked, and at this moment Kenyon Martin's eyes were bloodshot.

"collapse!"

Under the attack of Eagle Claw, the forces of both sides collided, and the elastic basketball was seriously deformed. The next moment, it exploded.

"..."

Everyone looked at the piece of torn leather on the floor, and Madison Square Garden fell silent in an instant.

“Ouch…”

The next moment, cheers broke out.

"hey-hey!"

Looking around, He Zhongqiu smiled somewhat complacently, then looked down at Kenyon Martin and said, "Block Shot, two."

"Shit! Damn rookie..."

Seeing the rampant Knicks No. 18, Kenyon Martin's face turned black. Due to the opponent's strength, he was afraid that he would be punched through like a wall. He didn't dare to attack. He was so angry that he cursed inwardly. This block was a success, and the referee called the ball.

"God, look at what He Zhongqiu did? When he blocked the shot...wasn't he afraid of hurting his fingers?"

The ceiling screen at the scene was replaying the block that had just happened. Michael Brin's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he saw.

"He, he knows a kind of eagle kung fu. Could it be, could this also be true? He poked the basketball with his fingers?" Tom Howard was speechless.

"Eagle, he is bald, a bald eagle, which means vulture. Tom, what do you think of this nickname?" Michael Brin suddenly said.

"Isn't that a bald eagle? It's not appropriate for our national bird of the United States. He's not American."

Tom Howard was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Michael, the nickname Bald Eagle is not very good. Aren't you afraid that he will give you an eagle claw? I'm afraid your head will be like that basketball."

Michael Breen shrugged and corrected him: "It should be a bang, like a West Paw."

"Ha ha……"

Tom Howard laughed, and suddenly remembered the news about He Zhongqiu tearing the wardrobe with his bare hands, and recalled the basketball being blown up just now, and couldn't help saying: "I think of a nickname, Michael, have you read the X-Men comics?"

"Of course I have. I have collected all the X-Men comics, every issue," said Michael Brin.

"Wolverine, what do you think?"

Tom Howard said excitedly: "Wolverine has a pair of indestructible claws, and He Zhongqiu can tear a wardrobe with his bare hands and pierce a basketball with his hands. His personality is also like a wolf, full of aggression, and he dares to resist those who want to take advantage of him."

"Wolverine? Oh, that's cool! Tom, I think the rookie would like that nickname."

Michael Breen agreed, but added, “But Tom, you said he poked the basketball with his fingers, which is probably impossible.

That must have been caused by the combined force of the two people. Sometimes when you slam the basketball hard, your force and the reaction force of the ground can cause it to explode. "

"Well, that's an exaggeration on my part," laughed Tom Howard.

"Brother Xia said that He Zhongqiu practiced the Eagle Claw, not the Wolf Claw. I think it might be the Nine Yin Bone Claw."

Yao family in Houston, Yao Ming is a little envious, the nickname Wolverine is much more impressive than the little giant.

"Dayao, you should read less martial arts novels." Yao's mother said unhappily.

"Snapped!"

In the scramble for the ball, He Zhongqiu won and the Knicks got the ball.

Michael Breen said: "Wolverine's talent is really excellent. With a larger tonnage, his jumping height and speed seem to be similar to Kenyon Martin, but he has the advantages of height and wingspan."

"And there is also the advantage in aerial confrontation. Just now the two of them made contact in the air, and Kenyon Martin was more affected." Tom Howard said.

At this time, the madman made a three-point jump shot and hit the ball over Jefferson's head.

At 18:22, the Knicks led by 4 points. In the 9th minute of the first quarter, the Nets called a timeout.

After the timeout, He Zhongqiu did not play again.

他在首节前九分钟一共2投2中，1罚1中，得到5分2篮板2盖帽1失误1犯规的数据。

Both turnovers and fouls were controlled well. The foul was a defensive foul and the turnover was a missed catch.

He makes fewer mistakes because he doesn't have the ball, takes fewer shots, and the ball never passes through his hands. Without the ball in his hands, of course he makes fewer mistakes.

He commits few fouls because he is usually outside the defensive formation and often does not participate in the team's defense. Jason Collins rarely attacks, so he commits few fouls.
