Chapter Eighty-Five: The Christmas War I
Baguazhang, twisting and twisting, heavy and round, footwork swims around, obliquely out and in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info especially the Cheng School gossip that Li Du learned, pay attention to walking like a dragon, turning like a monkey, changing like an eagle, the action opening and closing is larger, the body is stretched, and the routine is very good-looking.
The good looks are just the appearance, Li Du's real intention is to keep his legs and feet twisting and turning, so that he can use this twisting power at any time to maintain the ability to change the direction of movement at any time in the game, whether attacking or defending!
After practicing a set of gossip palms, Li Du walked up to Kobe Bryant, nodded at Kobe, and didn't speak. Kobe Bryant knows that the current Li Du has adjusted his physical condition to the peak, Li Du, like most national arts masters, will never waste a little energy in order to maintain his state, at this time, he will not speak!
So Kobe gently patted Li Du, pointed to Wade, who was practicing shooting on the opposite side, and said to Li Du: "Lee, Dwyanne was praised as the Flash by Shaq, his speed and pace of breakthrough are rare in the whole world, he is also the offensive engine of the Heat, as long as you limit his breakthrough, we will win!" ”
Li Du looked at Wade, also didn't say a word, and silently walked to the bench to rest. Closing his eyes, Li Du recalled the video of the Heat game he had watched before, Wade's breakthrough methods, feints, etc., all flashed in front of his eyes one by one.
Wade is a very fast player with his feet, and he is just as quick to burst from his standstills to his fastest speed, and he can get through and score inside as soon as there is a gap in the defense! Li Du also had to admit that the name of "The Flash" was well deserved.
The Lakers' starters today were:
Point guard, Derrick Fisher.
Shooting guard, Li Du.
Small forward, Kobe Bryant.
Power forward, Ronny Turiaf.
Center, Kwame Brown.
In this set of starters, Turyaf is the first start of the season, and the Zen master made this adjustment in the hope of using Turyaf and Kwame Brown together to impose some restrictions on O'Neal on the inside.
The Heat, the defending champions, have a poor record this season, 12-14, but no one dares to underestimate them, and their roster has been consistent.
Point guard, "White Chocolate" Jason Williams.
Shooting guard, Dwyane Wade.
Small forward, Dorrell White.
Power forward, Udonis Haslem.
Center, Shaquille O'Neal.
As the referee tosses the basketball high into the air, the game begins!
O'Neill is 5 centimeters taller than Kwame Brown, and despite his weight, he's never been associated with bulkiness! Whether it is the action on the field, or the bounce and speed, O'Neill is first-class!
Without any suspense, O'Neill first dialed the ball to his side. After the white chocolate controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, it was handed to Wade, and he ran to the baseline with Fisher, who defended himself, to open up offensive space for Wade. Williams used to be a fancy passer and a very offensive man, but as he got older and his athleticism declined, he is now in the Heat, and he is honestly doing his job as a point guard.
As soon as Wade got the ball, Li Du immediately defended it. Maybe it was because he was afraid of Wade's speed, or maybe he deliberately lured Wade to shoot far away, Li Du defended Wade, and he was not close, but let him go.
Looking at the yellow-skinned player in front of him who was about the same height as himself, his body was thinner than himself, but his arm span was far beyond him, Wade first took several tentative steps in a row, and at the same time shook his body, but Li Du was unmoved at all, and every time he moved slightly, he blocked Wade.
"You're a fantastic rookie known for your defense, and you're really strong." Wade whispered to Li Du: "I've watched your game, you are the most defensive person I've ever seen." ”
"Thank you!" Li Du responded in his mouth, but his eyes kept staring at Wade, and he didn't relax at all: "I also watched your game video, your steps are extremely fast, worthy of being a flash!" ”
"Really!" The corners of Wade's mouth turned up slightly, "Then let's try, whether I'm fast or you're fast!" ”
As he spoke, Wade retreated half a step back in vain, and then with a force from his feet, he rushed towards Li Du's left hand. At the moment when Li Du moved sideways to block, Wade sent the ball to his crotch with his right hand, handed the ball to his left hand, and his right shoulder was against Li Du.
"Awesome!" Li Du secretly admired in his heart, and continued to follow without hesitation.
Since Wade has already snatched half of the position, it is enough for him. As soon as your feet accelerate, you have to rush to the inside line. As soon as he ran out two steps, Wade suddenly had an alarm in his heart, no! If he could break through Li Du in this way, how could he defend those who could not break through less than himself?
"Trap!" The word suddenly appeared in Wade's mind, and he stepped on the floor with a heavy step, causing himself to stop instantly, and Wade hurriedly took a step back.
Sure enough, just as Wade was retreating, Li Du's slender and wide hand quickly waved over the place he had just now, if Wade didn't take a step back, continue to break through, or pause, he would have been cut off by Li Du just now!
The offense was blocked, but Wade didn't stick to the ball and passed the ball to White on the right, who hoisted the ball to O'Neal, who was standing firm inside.
In the face of O'Neal, Kwame Brown didn't even dare to foul, and when he saw O'Neal getting the ball and was about to dunk it, he hurriedly retreated and dodged. O'Neill scored two points comfortably.
After the ball was passed, Wade stared at Li Du and said: "What a cunning rookie, such a fast speed, it seems that you can't use the usual methods to deal with you!" ”
Li Du smiled: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, you have not deceived others, right?" Come on, let me see how fast you really are! ”
When the Lakers attacked, Li Du opened up the space, and everything was dominated by Kobe. However, Kobe Bryant is definitely not easy, the Heat team is defending Kobe, it is Wade!
Wade is shorter than Kobe Bryant, but his arm span is not short, and in the entire Heat team, I am afraid he is the only one, who is not weaker than Kobe in terms of strength, speed, and skill!
Over the years, when the Heat met the Lakers, it was Wade who defended Kobe, so Wade is also very familiar with Kobe's offensive mode, of course he can't limit people to death like Li Du defends others, but Wade can also form a huge interference with Kobe Bryant, which greatly reduces Kobe's shooting rate!
Kobe Bryant pushed Wade half a step away and forced a shot, the ball missed, O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Lakers had to retreat quickly.
The opening few balls were like this, Wade couldn't break through Li Du one-on-one, and could only rely on O'Neal or others on the inside to attack. And the Lakers are the same, Wade caused a great interference to Kobe, although Kobe can also force shots, but the shooting percentage will be very low, so Kobe also attracts the attention of the defense and hands the ball to others to score.
