Chapter 70: The Aerial Oop That Shocked the Stone Buddha
The Spurs' defense is indeed strong, and they retreat very quickly from the outside.
When the madman advanced to the right elbow area, Bruce Bowen kept chasing him on the left side and kept making small moves on him.
He didn't rush forward, and Alan Houston and Howard Ellis were also caught up by Stephen Jackson and Tony Parker, so they had no good opportunities.
Unable to make a fast break, he had to pull to the right and wait for his teammates inside to get into position.
This period of time is the so-called transition period of attack. After everyone is in position, it will turn into positional warfare.
Just as the madman took a step to the right, he saw He Zhongqiu rushing over from the top of the arc, with Duncan one step behind.
"Have the opportunity."
Duncan, David Robinson and Kurt Thomas were all behind He Zhongqiu. There was no one in the penalty area. The madman pulled the ball high with his right hand and threw it into the air in front of He Zhongqiu.
Bruce Bowen jumped to block the shot, but his height was not high enough and he didn't touch the ball.
He Zhongqiu looked at the madman and saw the other party pass the ball. He felt very excited and began to adjust the rhythm with his feet instinctively.
It was too far from the basket. The free throw line was 4.225 meters away from the center of the basket. He stepped one step inside the free throw line, about 3 meters away from the basket, and then jumped up with all his strength.
At the moment of jumping, all the muscles and bones of the body are condensed into a whole force, the arms are spread out like eagle wings, and the moment the feet exert force, the whole body forms an upward rising force, rising like an eagle.
“It’s impossible to succeed.”
Duncan was no longer the flying devil after he injured his meniscus in 00. One step behind, he looked at He Zhongqiu taking off, and had no intention of jumping from behind to block the shot.
He didn't think Wolverine could complete the alley-oop dunk this time because it was too far away and he might even make a mistake when catching the ball.
But the next moment, He Zhongqiu's hands grabbed the flying basketball accurately like an eagle's claws, and then as his body glided forward at high speed, he held the ball with one hand and slashed towards the basket.
"boom!"
In an instant, there was a loud bang of the basket, and He Zhongqiu used a one-handed tomahawk slam dunk, which made the basket stand shake up and down.
"how is this possible?"
At this moment, the stone Buddha lost its color and Duncan opened his mouth wide.
"Oh ho!"
It was like a volcano erupting, the entire Madison Square Garden cheered and tens of thousands of people raised their arms.
"Crack, click, click..."
Reporters in the media seats were snapping photos frantically.
"Ah ah ah..."
The cheerleaders lifted up their skirts again and screamed at He Zhongqiu.
"alley-oop!"
Michael Breen's passionate voice sounded again.
"Yeah yeah yeah!"
Tom Howard shouted excitedly: "Absolutely gorgeous aerial relay, Wolverine took off from the free throw line in one step and glided three meters in the air.
As a 213cm tall, 115kg center, he completed a gliding alley-oop dunk that only a small guard can complete. He should participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, like Rain Man. "
Brin then shouted excitedly: "Yes, no center has ever completed such an alley-oop dunk, not even the four super centers, not even Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, has completed such an alley-oop dunk."
Tom Howard said excitedly: "New York has welcomed a super dunker with a brutal and violent style. I have to say that this great city may become a city of alley-oops because of Wolverine."
In the CCTV live studio, Zhang Heli laughed and said, "Zhongqiu showed mercy because he wanted to save money for his boss. If he had dunked with both hands, the backboard might have broken. But if he keeps dunking like this, the backboard will break sooner or later."
Sun Zhenping said with great joy: "Zhongqiu's physical fitness is amazing! He really feels like flying."
"Why hasn't the backboard broken yet?" "It will break sooner or later."
"That was a one-handed dunk. If it was a two-handed dunk, it might have broken."
At this time in the country, the fans watching the game were already immersed in joy and excitement. The related posts on the Internet were already thousands of stories high, with countless people following them.
"This guy is amazing!"
Far away in Los Angeles, in O'Neal's mansion, he was stunned.
He has amazing explosive power and jumping ability, but even when he first entered the league and had not gained weight, he could not complete such a long-distance dunk, let alone an aerial relay.
"Wolverine, he really is a wolf, a wolf that can fly, not a stupid bear in the paint." Michael Jordan exclaimed in Washington.
"Oh oh oh……"
"Wolverine! Wolverine..."
Madison Square Garden was in a frenzy and the cheers lasted for a long time.
Zhang Heli said excitedly: "I think it won't be long before Zhongqiu becomes a very popular star of the Knicks."
"In terms of popularity, it has already reached that level now," said Sun Zhenping.
Zhang Heli nodded and said, "The most famous player in the Knicks right now is Alan Houston, the king of mid-range shots, but his special skill is his perfect shooting posture. Compared to his shooting posture, the dunks in the Mid-Autumn Festival are obviously more attractive to fans."
As He Zhongqiu ran past the sidelines, Bart quietly raised his thumb with his right hand, which was placed in front of his knees, and smiled.
Entering the backcourt and coming to the low post on the left wing, he stood behind Duncan and started another top defense.
Duncan's attitude before was very cautious, and this time he was even more cautious when he was in position to receive the ball.
In the face of He Zhongqiu's strong confrontation, he leaned hard with his left arm and shoulder, and raised his right hand high to the outside to ask for the ball.
"Don't think you can catch the ball so easily!"
He Zhongqiu knew that he had made too many mistakes and fouls and would not get much playing time, so even though his physical fitness was only level 85, he directly used the explosive power he had just realized.
"You have mastered new defensive techniques, your single defense proficiency has increased by +15000, and your level has been raised to 72." The system's reward arrived in time.
"here we go again!"
Duncan only felt a shock on his back, and an explosive force pushed him forward, and his feet loosened.
At this moment, the ball was passed down. The moment the ball touched his hand, he pushed it inward, and the ball flew into the paint area from the outside of He Zhongqiu's head.
"what?"
He Zhongqiu had no time to react. He turned around and saw that the ball had fallen into David Robinson's hands.
David Robinson was originally one step outside the right waist position. Just when Stephen Jackson on the left wing passed the ball to Duncan, and just when the defender Kurt Thomas's defensive attention was drawn to the strong side, he suddenly cut in.
He took one step around the defender, then another step into the paint area, and with a backhand he trapped Kurt Thomas behind him.
At this time, Duncan passed the ball over.
"brush!"
He received the ball, took a step forward and jumped, easily putting the ball into the basket.
"Very good! The Spurs' twin towers played well together in the low post. Although it was not as gorgeous, exciting and thrilling as Wolverine's aerial relay, it also scored 2 points." Michael Breen said.
"The twin towers' low-post cooperation is one of the Spurs' killer weapons," said Tom Howard.
He Zhongqiu was a little depressed. The pass from Ah Dai was really beyond his expectations. How could the ball be passed like this?
