Chapter 69 The Perfect Display of Violent Aesthetics
On the right sideline, the one serving is a madman.
He was about to pass the ball to the mid-range shooting king Alan Houston outside, but just as he was about to throw it, he saw Wolverine squeeze Duncan aside and enter the paint area.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, he threw the basketball with both hands and it flew towards the basket.
"Well done!"
As He Zhongqiu took a step into the paint area, he saw the madman pass the ball in, not to him, but to him the next second.
He took a small step forward very quickly, his body suddenly jumped up to two and a half feet high, his arms spread out like an eagle's wings, and his right hand grabbed the ball like an eagle's claw.
"Snapped!"
He caught the ball with one hand, his body slid forward one meter in the air, and then he used his waist and abdomen to exert force to smash the basket with his right hand.
"boom!"
The explosive sound of the basket exploding was heard.
"Oh ho!"
The explosive sound of the rim hitting the basket, the dunking action with strong visual impact, and the perfect display of violent aesthetics instantly made countless fans excited. Huge cheers rang out in Madison Square Garden, and everyone was cheering.
"Wolverine belongs in New York!"
Spike Lee, the Knicks' No. 1 fan, shouted excitedly.
Stallone, Willis and others also clapped and cheered excitedly. These stars who came to watch the game would generally only cheer for the Knicks unless the visiting team had their favorite players or they were fans of the visiting team.
"WC, is it really that strong?"
Bart, who was sitting next to the water dispenser, cursed.
"alley-oop!"
In the ESPN studio, Michael Brin's extremely passionate voice rang out: "It comes from the connection between Knicks center Wolverine and Madman."
Tom Howard exclaimed excitedly: "Wolverine's violent dunk is so perfect, like a thunderbolt from heaven. He is showing us what power is and what domination over the basket is..."
"Alley-oop!"
In the CCTV live studio, Zhang Heli said excitedly: "Wolverine He Zhongqiu and Madman completed a shocking aerial relay..."
"Zhongqiu did a great job to complete such a beautiful aerial relay under the defense of Stone Buddha Duncan!" Sun Zhenping said excitedly.
At the same time, countless fans across the country were indescribably excited when they saw this dunk.
They had only seen NBA stars do this in the past, and no domestic basketball player had ever been able to do it. Even if there were any, they could only do it with difficulty, and the dunking action was not powerful or explosive at all.
He Zhongqiu left a very deep impression in their hearts with just this one attack.
"I broke three backboards in five games. I really hope Wolverine can break a backboard today so that we can see the power of the backboard-breaking maniac with our own eyes."
"Yeah, it's only fun to watch it with your own eyes, only with a video."
On some sports forums on the Internet, posts about He Zhongqiu and Wolverine were very active. As soon as the game started, the most posts had reached hundreds of floors.
"The Spurs' mentality is really good. They are like robots. They are not affected at all. Their offense has already started."
In the ESPN studio, Michael Brin exclaimed.
Howard Ellis strengthened the defense, and the sports car did not run this time. It slowly advanced to the right wing of the frontcourt, waiting for the twin towers to take position.
This time David Robinson did not fall to a high position, but went to a low position, landing at the right waist position.
Duncan was in the low post on the left wing asking for the ball, and He Zhongqiu took top defense.
At this time, Tony Parker on the right wing passed the ball to Bruce Bowen at the top of the arc. Bowen did not let the ball stay in his hands, but passed it directly to Stephen Jackson on the left wing.
"A major feature of the Spurs' offense is that the ball moves very quickly," said Zhang Heli.
After Stephen Jackson received the ball, he passed it again, and Duncan received the ball and started to play one-on-one against He Zhongqiu.
The centers he faced in the first five games were not stars. This was the first time He Zhongqiu faced a star, and a superstar at that. He was very cautious and ready to go.
After watching so much video yesterday, he gained a lot of understanding of Duncan's offensive and technical characteristics, which is the basis of his defense.
The moment Duncan caught the ball, he knew that Duncan's attack would start immediately. Sure enough, the next moment, Duncan dribbled up, and then immediately dribbled down again, without any pause in between. The connection of the entire technical action was as smooth as an assembly line.
"Don't move. I can't eat Akira."
At this moment, he forced himself to keep steady.
But he had no idea what Duncan's next move would be. Would it be a bank shot at the 45-degree left waist position immediately after the upward shake, or a jump shot at a zero-degree angle near the baseline after the downward shake, or a downward shake followed by a layup?
He had seen these back-to-the-basket offensive methods in Duncan's game highlights, but he was unable to predict the opponent's next move.
When he couldn't predict his opponent's attack, even if he wanted to stay steady, his body's instincts were uncontrollable unless he underwent countless professional trainings. He had only been playing basketball officially for less than a month, and what he lacked was professional training, so he was still shaken.
When Duncan was shaking upwards, he managed to keep his balance. When he was shaking downwards, he was shaken and his feet couldn't help but move.
At this moment, Duncan immediately felt the movement of his center of gravity, and then continued to shake, then stepped on his left waist, jumped on one foot, and shot with his right hand.
"What the hell!"
Because of that movement, his next defensive action was half a beat slower. By the time he moved sideways and jumped to block the shot, the ball had already passed him.
"Oh!"
The basketball bounced off the backboard and went into the basket, and Duncan successfully celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival with a single shot.
After Duncan succeeded, he wanted to run to the backcourt immediately, but when he remembered that the rookie just called him "idiot", he suddenly said, "Hey, rookie, welcome to the NBA."
"Thank you, A-Dai." He Zhongqiu said hurriedly.
Duncan's face froze. Wolverine, you're not done yet, are you? 30+20 tonight, I'm an idiot... Bah, bah, bah, I'm talking about my basic skills.
"He, increase your physical confrontation before he catches the ball. Don't give him a comfortable chance to shoot. Let him feel your strength at all times."
As He Zhongqiu ran to the frontcourt, Thibodeau shouted loudly, and Philip next to him immediately translated it loudly.
"You have received careful instruction from a master-level defensive coach. Your single defense proficiency has increased by +1000. Your accumulated proficiency has reached 3000, and your level has been raised to level 67."
This sentence earned He Zhongqiu another reward, and his skill level was also upgraded.
4:2, Knicks attack.
After being hit on the head by Duncan, He Zhongqiu wanted to retaliate, but unfortunately he was not qualified to fight whenever he wanted in the Knicks. Alan Houston suddenly jumped up in front of Bruce Bowen and hit a three-pointer.
4:5, Spurs attack.
The Spurs still used a combination of inside and outside tactics, and Duncan did not waste his energy to enter the basket. The physical confrontation just now made him realize that he was indeed not as good as Wolverine in confrontation, so he just asked for position and the ball in the low post on the left wing.
He Zhongqiu had just received careful instructions from Thibodeau, and he immediately began to defend vigorously, using his chest to push Duncan outwards.
Duncan simply retreated a step, and then the ball was passed.
But at this moment, He Zhongqiu quickly stepped sideways and grabbed the ball with one claw just when Duncan had just caught the ball with one hand and had not yet closed it.
Duncan wanted to dodge, but He Zhongqiu had practiced martial arts for more than ten years, and his hand speed was so fast that he had no time to dodge.
He Zhongqiu's stealing ability can reach level 70, not because he has specially practiced this technique, but because of his fast nerve reaction speed, long arm span, and most importantly, Eagle Claw Skill, which makes his hands fast, fierce and accurate.
Level 70 is not high, but he is not an outside player, but a 210 cm tall man. This level of steals is top-notch for an inside player.
"Snapped!"
The ball in Duncan's right hand was knocked away. He Zhongqiu quickly took another step forward, squeezed Duncan away, grabbed the ball and completed a steal.
"Clap clap clap..."
There was warm applause in Madison Square Garden.
"here."
The madman above rushed down and shouted.
He Zhongqiu immediately passed the ball and then ran towards the front court with all his strength.
"This guy should be as fast as Garnett."
Duncan chased after He Zhongqiu, but he was getting further and further away. From almost running side by side, he was already half a step behind by the time he reached the center line.
