Chapter 73: Injured Admiral
While receiving the system reward, He Zhongqiu ran to the baseline, picked up the ball and prepared to serve.
The Madman and the King of Mid-Range Jumpers went down quickly, as did veteran Shandon Anderson.
"Whoosh!"
With a raise of his arm and a throw of his hand, the basketball flew like a meteor towards Alan Houston in the middle.
Alan Houston, whose physical fitness was still at its peak, was one step ahead of veteran Steve Kerr who was defending him. After receiving the ball, he rushed to the basket and made a successful layup, scoring a goal.
25:26, Spurs attack.
In order to avoid physical confrontation with He Zhongqiu, David Robinson stood one step outside the left side of the paint area before reaching for the ball.
Zhang Heli continued, "Among the four super centers, David Robinson is the best at face-to-basket offense, but the worst at post-up offense. Facing a strong physical opponent like Zhongqiu, his post-up offense is not enough, and he can't even stand. He can only use his strongest face-to-basket offense."
On the left wing, Bruce Bowen received the pass from Steve Kerr at the top of the arc and passed it to David Robinson in the low post on the left wing.
"The Spurs still use a combination of inside and outside play," said Sun Zhenping.
David Robinson caught the ball and held it above his head.
Facing the face-to-basket attack that the superstar is best at, He Zhongqiu half-leaned down in a defensive state, with his energy and spirit highly concentrated, staring at David Robinson with eyes as sharp as a knife.
At this moment, he was like a lion protecting his territory, bursting out with the aura of a master.
Feeling He Zhongqiu's powerful aura, David Robinson's heart skipped a beat, his eyes narrowed, he lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and instinctively avoided He Zhongqiu's oppressive gaze.
"Damn it, how could I be afraid of a rookie?"
He cursed himself inwardly, raised his hands and drew an arc from the right side to his crotch, took a deep breath, and the attack was about to begin.
It turns out that when dealing with a rookie like Wolverine, even though he is old, he would not bother to use a tentative step, but would just rush forward in one step.
However, facing such a strong momentum as He Zhongqiu, his own momentum was suppressed. Once the momentum is suppressed, his self-confidence will decline and his will will no longer be as firm as iron.
When it comes to action, there will be procrastination and indecision.
At this time, David Robinson began his tentative step, and his right foot suddenly stepped forward to the right front side, but when he retracted it, he hesitated for a moment, wanting to take a step forward.
Just during this moment of hesitation, He Zhongqiu's defensive reaction came out. He leaned over and grabbed the basketball in David Robinson's hands with his left hand.
Because Robinson held the ball with both hands and had very strong control over the ball, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to knock the ball away, so he even used his iron finger strength.
The so-called Iron Finger Inch Power has three levels of skills: Iron Finger Skill, Standard Finger Skill, and Inch Power Skill. He has already mastered the Inch Power Skill.
The Iron Finger Inch Power is actually a training of Qi and blood. The moment the left hand grabs it, the Qi and blood explode, the Inch Power explodes, and the five fingers instantly hit the ball.
"Take it!"
The collision of fingers and the ball is like the collision of wood and stone. A short and crisp force bursts out instantly, and the basketball is instantly deformed.
"what?"
David Robinson only felt the basketball in his hands shake, and then his hands were stretched apart by the ball, and the ball was knocked away by Wolverine.
"Oh!"
The basketball hit the floor and bounced up. He Zhongqiu reached down with his left hand and caught the ball. He clasped his hands together and completed the steal.
"Oh, Wolverine steals the Admiral, that's his third steal of the night," Michael Breen exclaimed.
"Quick attack!"
Tom Howard shouted.
Alan Houston and other players on the outside rushed down the court with all their strength, but David Robinson reacted quickly and entangled He Zhongqiu, preventing his fast pass, and the Knicks' fast break failed.
"Completed defense for the third time in a row, defensive tactics proficiency +300. Cumulative proficiency reached 3000, and the level was raised to level 51.
He Zhongqiu passed the ball to Alan Houston who had returned and ran to the front court.
He came to the low post on the left wing and asked for the ball, but the ball went into the hands of Shandon Anderson on the right wing.
As a forward-guard swingman, the 29-year-old still takes % of his shots in the restricted area. He is good at breaking through. After receiving the ball, he makes a fake shot and then breaks through Stephen Jackson.
The Spurs were still man-to-man, and Malik Rose, the forward at the 4th position, immediately covered the defense. Witherspoon, the Knicks' 4th position, was left open, and he immediately cut back to the basket, and Shandon Anderson quickly hit the ground and passed the ball from Malik Rose's feet into the paint.
However, his passing ability was average, and Witherspoon leaned over to catch the ball, nearly causing a turnover.
David Robinson seized the opportunity to defend the basket from the left side of the basket and blocked Witherspoon.
Witherspoon's assist ability and awareness were also average. He Zhongqiu in the low post on the left wing was left open, and he didn't even think about passing the ball.
The 198-centimeter-tall player forced a hook shot in front of the 216-centimeter-tall David Robinson, but was blocked by the opponent.
The ball was fanned to the right waist and was grabbed by Shandon Anderson, who quickly passed it to He Zhongqiu who entered the paint area.
He Zhongqiu took a step to the left waist, received the ball, took a big step towards the basket, grabbed the ball with his left hand and raised it high, then suddenly soared up like an iron eagle spreading its wings.
At the basket, David Robinson gritted his teeth and jumped up to block the shot.
"Oops!"
At this moment, Popovich, Duncan and others were all nervous when they saw that David Robinson did not avoid.
Even a 500-pound super fat man like Vin Baker was dunked by Wolverine, so they didn't think David Robinson could handle it.
"Flying dunk!"
At this moment, in Madison Square Garden, countless Knicks fans were excited. They were all looking forward to seeing a dunk that was full of power, violence, and ferocious like a wild beast. They couldn't wait to hear the explosive sound of the rim bursting.
At this moment, all the reporters in the media seats were ready to press the shutter.
"Oh!"
He Zhongqiu crashed into David Robinson from behind with great force, and David Robinson was knocked backwards.
"boom!"
The sound of the rim popping after the tomahawk slam dunk echoed throughout Madison Square Garden.
"Oh!"
David Robinson fell under the basket, and the super center became the background of all this.
At this moment, the extremely powerful sound of the basket exploding hit everyone's eardrums and made their blood boil.
At this moment, the extremely violent and brutal scene of knocking over super center David Robinson, and the powerful tomahawk slam dunk, made everyone's adrenaline surge.
“Ouch…”
Like a tsunami, earth-shaking shouts and cheers swept up, and countless fans stood up from their seats, waving their arms and cheering.
"After Rain Man, the league has welcomed a more brutal and violent star. He just dominated the sky above the super center Admiral David Robinson. He dominated the sky of the Spurs' restricted area... He is the Wolverine He Zhongqiu from China."
In the ESPN live studio, Michael Brin's passionate voice continued to ring out.
"Dunk! He Zhongqiu dunked over super center David Robinson. He is going to be famous." Zhang Heli shouted excitedly in the CCTV live studio.
At this moment, far away in China, countless fans watching the game cheered excitedly or clenched their fists excitedly.
David Robinson looked painful, probably injured.
Next to the Spurs' water dispenser, Bart's eyes lit up when he saw David Robinson injured. He felt that he should have a chance to play.
The referee stopped the game and asked the Spurs to deal with the injury quickly.
The team doctor came on the court to check and found that it was a sprained left knee. Popovich's face became more serious after hearing this, and he turned around and hooked his finger at Bart.
"I?"
Bart stood up excitedly.
Jamie Zhang, a full-time female translator, also shouted happily: "Come on, Bart, it's your turn."
