Chapter 62: Shh, can you be quiet a little?
He Zhongqiu made the free throw, 3:2, the Mavericks attacked.

Michael Finley broke through with the ball on the left wing, and Alan Houston, who was defending the left wing, and Sprewell, who was defending the center, quickly double-teamed him.

Finley’s ability to break through with the ball is average. He rarely dribbles past opponents in singles, let alone being double-teamed?
"Bang!"

He immediately made a quick stop jump shot with a little more power, and the shot hit the basket and bounced back.

He Zhongqiu's rebounding skills barely reach professional standards and are not very good. Many times he misjudges the ball's trajectory and fails to grab the ball's landing point.

When his prediction was correct, his positioning skills were not good enough, and he was unable to take advantage of his strong physical strength. Given his physical talent, he did not grab many rebounds.

Thibodeau is responsible for teaching him defense and rebounding, but unfortunately he has no time these days because of the violent incident involving Conseco.

But if the ball lands right under the basket, his rebounding skills are pretty good, and he can maximize his advantages in jumping ability and physical confrontation.

"Snapped!"

Under the basket, he jumped almost at the same time as LaFrentz, jumping high and fast, and grabbed the rebound first.

The madman came down and took the basketball. Alan Houston was about to come down, so he immediately passed the ball to him. During the transition from offense to defense, the Knicks quickly launched a counterattack.

One of the defensive tactics is to defend the fast break during the offense-defense transition after grabbing the backcourt rebound. Unfortunately, the Mavericks' perimeter defense was average and they failed to defend against the Knicks' counterattack.

Rajabell has average athletic ability and can't run very fast. He returned to defense from the top of the arc, and Alan Houston rushed to the basket from the right wing, one step ahead of him, and made a successful layup.

Although Nash runs fast, his defensive ability is amateur. He returned to defense from the left wing, stopped at the basket and watched Alan Houston make a layup.

As for Michael Finley, he started a beat slower than Alan Houston who was in the same position, and his speed was not enough, so he failed to catch up.

Old Nelson put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking extremely calm.

The Mavericks currently have the best record in the league, but their rebounding ranks 17th in the league and 10th in the Western Conference, which is one of the Mavericks' weaknesses.

But no matter what, the rebounding is still better than that of the Knicks. The Knicks now average 39.2 rebounds per game, while the Mavericks average 42.1.

5:2, Mavericks attack.

Nash played pick-and-roll tactics with Nowitzki on the right wing, breaking through with the ball to attract double-teaming and then passing the ball back.

"brush!"

Nowitzki received the ball in the same spot as his last shot, and Kurt Thomas was unable to return to defense and hit another long two-pointer.

"Low-post proficiency +3."

"Low-position step proficiency accumulated to 3000, level increased to level 50."

Although the team lost points, He Zhongqiu did gain some benefits.

5:4, Knicks attack.

The madman advanced to the left wing three-point line and suddenly shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately he missed as it was a little short. The basketball bounced far away and went out of the left waist and was picked up by Michael Finley.

Nash and Nowitzki once again played a pick-and-roll tactic on the right wing. This time, in order to prevent the return pass, Kurt Thomas did not double-team him. He took a decisive shot, a fadeaway jump shot, and hit a mid-range shot over Howard Ellis' head.

5:6, Knicks attack.

He Zhongqiu entered the basket and LaFrentz went around.

After the madman received the ball on the left three-point line, he glanced at the basket and thought of Wolverine's bounce, so he threw the ball directly into the basket without thinking twice.

"Well done!"

He Zhongqiu shouted in his heart, pushed LaFrentz in front of him with his right elbow, and then jumped with all his strength.

LaFrentz also jumped with all his strength, but his jump was not as high as He Zhongqiu's, and he was far behind.

The next moment, He Zhongqiu caught the ball in the air with both hands, forced himself to adjust his body posture, and then completed a two-handed slam dunk.

"boom!"

The basketball hoop was hit so hard that it was shaking and creaking, and the basket was almost straightened.

Thibodeau said with a strange look on his face: "Mavericks fans are likely to be retaliated by Wolverine."

"Smash the backboard?" Don Cheney said.

"He used a lot of force in both dunks, with no other reason than to break the backboard," Thibodeau said.

Holm Lester said: "With his top absolute strength and top explosive power, the possibility of breaking the board is as great as O'Neal. If he hits it twice, the board will be broken." Don Cheney turned around and said to Lester: "Holm, it makes sense that Wolverine doesn't want to gain weight. He is not O'Neal. If he gains weight, it is very likely that his explosive power will be weakened. It's not bad now."

Lester analyzed: "If his low-post pace is better, he can definitely develop in the direction of Big Dream, Ewing, and David Robinson.

From a technical point of view, in addition to the attack under the basket, he is more interested in the attack opposite the basket. His back-to-the-basket technique is the worst. David Robinson is his model. "

Thibodeau said: "His physical talent is completely comparable to the four super centers, and he even has more strength and explosiveness, but his skills are too poor and he needs more time to develop."

Don Cheney said: “For the 1+1 contract, Scott’s idea should be to use this season to observe the potential of the Wolverines.

Judging from the current situation, Wolverine has a very good learning ability and is improving quickly, so it is very likely that he will renew his contract after this season."

In the sixth minute of the first quarter, the Knicks were already two points behind.

Alan Houston and Madman each missed a shot, and the Mavericks took the opportunity to overtake.

The Knicks called a timeout, replaced Charlie Ward, and then the game continued and the Knicks attacked.

In the 10th minute of the first quarter, the Knicks were already trailing by 6 points.

He Zhongqiu entered the basket again to take position, but LaFrentz did not engage in physical confrontation with him, but just went around him and defended from the side, preventing him from even gaining proficiency in low-post confrontation.

"The offensive tactics were run correctly for the fifth time in a row, proficiency +5."

"Offensive tactics proficiency accumulated to 3000, level increased to 48."

As his level increased, he also saw the ball coming in, and Alan Houston lobbed the ball towards the basket.

The next moment, he jumped with all his strength, more than a head higher than LaFrentz, and grabbed the falling basketball with both hands.

But he did not dunk directly after the alley-oop. Instead, he landed and stood up, then slammed the ball into the basket with both hands and all his strength.

The Mavericks did not double-team him, and LaFrentz was unable to stop his dunk. This time, he wanted to smash the Mavericks' boards in retaliation for the Mavericks fans' racial discrimination against him.

"Snapped!"

LaFrentz, who landed before him, became anxious and slapped him on the arm from behind.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew.

"boom!"

But all this could not stop his dunk. He slammed the ball with all his strength with both hands. With a loud bang, the entire backboard burst open in an instant and turned into countless small particles.

"Oh!"

After a scream, the American Airlines Arena fell into dead silence.

"Oh ho!"

Cheers broke out from the Knicks bench.

"Shh! Can you be quiet a little more?"

He Zhongqiu landed on the floor, put his right index finger to his mouth, and turned around to make a gesture to the audience around him to shut up.

"Shh!"

The Mavericks fans reacted and booed loudly, with countless middle fingers raised and a lot of insults being heard.

He Zhongqiu didn’t get a technical foul just now, but this time he provoked the fans again, and the referee ran over and gave him a technical foul.

But He Zhongqiu didn't care. Although he would be fined one thousand dollars for a technical foul, he could vent his anger.

"Wolverine, that's awesome!"

"Wolverine, you are a real human shredder."

On the field, Kuang Ren and others rushed towards He Zhongqiu and celebrated with him excitedly.

Nowitzki and Nash were stunned. They looked at He Zhongqiu under the basket as if they saw another big shark.
