Chapter 239: Utu's Enlightenment
In the frantic shouts of more than 60,000 fans at home, Liang Kuan, who had just completed the slam dunk, shook his spirit and ran to his own basket. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"And they really did! The Chinese team's offensive playmaker, striker Utu Chaolu, broke through the defense of the American ace Iverson and sent a wonderful pass to his teammates! Commentator Sun Zhengpi shouted: "And Liang Kuan finished wreaking havoc on the basket of the American team!" ā
"Utu is amazing!" Even the cold and arrogant Liu Chuan had to be convinced.
"How did I do that?" Utu himself is constantly reflecting, and he himself feels inexplicable, but he has touched a higher level of basketball in unconsciously imitation.
When it was Iverson's turn to attack, Utu kept recalling the actions of Sun Jun in the fight back then, recalling how he fought slowly and fast, and overcame rigidity with softness.
Maybe I shouldn't look at his face and instead keep an eye on his feet. No matter how strong and fast Iverson is, his strength always starts with his feet. Utu kept thinking about it, thinking of countermeasures.
Iverson also noticed Utu's unnatural gaze and had a plan. Deliberately shaking his opponent on tiptoe, Utu followed suit, and Iverson immediately broke through to the other side. But this time, although he shook off his opponent, his strength was not enough, and without adding speed, he paused in the unsmooth force. Utu snapped back and stuck firmly in front of him.
It was Iverson's pause that made Utu realize.
What did Sun Jun's grandfather rely on to beat young people on the court? It's the rhythm!
How did Utu break through Iverson's defense just now? By no means that he was faster than Iverson. A large dribble is to show your own unique rhythm, deliberately selling flaws is to induce the opponent to shoot, and then by changing the rhythm of the dribble to make the opponent lose the opportunity to break the ball and cause disposition. If there are no flaws to be found, how can Iverson's ability allow his opponent to break through easily?
It's like a single ball in football, and the goalkeeper must be too late to save by reacting on the spot. Experienced goalkeepers tend to seal one side and deliberately expose the other, and pounce on the weak side as soon as the opponent has a foot lift, so that they have a chance to escape. If the flaws on both sides are similar, the opponent does not know which side to shoot, and the goalkeeper also does not know which side to pounce, the initiative of the attack will be in the hands of the opponent.
How did Iverson break through this failure? It was because he discovered Utu's observation that he changed his pace by pretending to be clever, but because he did not adapt to this pace, he caused the confusion of breaking through the rhythm.
Rhythm is the initiative between offense and defense. If you master the rhythm and destroy the rhythm of the other party, you can beat fast with slow, overcome rigidity with softness, and then win one-on-one!
Utu figured out a lot of things, but on the pitch it was a matter of a moment. Iverson took two steps back to pull away and once again tried to force his way through. This time, Utu took the lead and came to the direction of his breakthrough one step ahead, which made Iverson very uncomfortable. He had to force a jump shot and missed.
Man-to-man defense is all based on the center of gravity, judging the opponent's center of gravity and controlling your own center of gravity, you can show the most perfect defense. What's more, Utu has superhuman reflexes and strong body coordination, if there is anyone in the Chinese team who can defend against Iverson, it must be Utu Chaolu!
Liang Kuan had already suffered several losses in the aerial scramble before, which was a very novel experience for him. This is the first time in his life that he has repeatedly hit a wall in basketball, whether it is a strong play in the low post or a breakthrough in the high post, and even basic rebounding, he has difficulty beating Cato.
Liang Kuan learned smartly, he didn't jump up to grab the rebound, but kept putting pressure on Cato. He struggled to spread his arms and used his excellent shoulder muscles and long reach to squeeze Cato out of the rebounding range.
Hanamichi pressed Duncan to pick up the rebound, and the Chinese team finally prevented the attack of the American team!
Utu won the ball again and began to organize the attack, Iverson waited tightly, but Utu suddenly slowed down.
"Delay the offense." Liu Chuan smiled: "That's how I used this tactic against Iverson back then. ā
Fighting for speed, no one is Iverson's opponent, not even in the NBA league. But if the pace slows down, will Iverson be better than Utu?
"This kid is not easy to deal with." Kidd, who was on the bench, suddenly commented.
The rest of the U.S. team looked at Kidd in amazement, and he actually praised a player his age, which was unprecedented.
"He's a good reader of the game and maybe as talented as we are." Kidd said to himself.
With only 9 seconds left in the 24-second attack, Utu suddenly kicked in. Iverson, who was focused, immediately took a step and stretched out his arms to seal it, but he was surprised to see that the opponent in front of him actually closed his eyes.
Utu's mind was empty, and he was not at all fooled by Iverson. At this point, he could feel the relaxation of his opponent's muscles, the rhythm of his breathing, and even judge Iverson's next move.
Utu has broken through and mastered the complete realm! With this clear control, he shook Iverson's center of gravity with a change of direction and pulled up a jumper. Iverson forced himself from the right to the left, leaving no room to make defensive moves.
Utu makes a jumper, 43:37.
Iverson's eyes widened in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened. Utu, who had been suppressed by himself before, suddenly became stronger.
"It's so funny, it's you!" He was overjoyed: "Only you can give me such a challenge and motivation to move forward!" ā
"Let the horses come!" Utu shook her finger.
Iverson suddenly ran to the baseline serve, and rushed without thinking that Williams himself was coming the ball. He wants to reach the fastest speed by sprinting in his own half and breaking through Utu's steel defense in one fell swoop!
This greatly surprised the Chinese team, Zebei stepped forward to try to interfere, but was suddenly overtaken by Iverson's shaking and changing direction, and then He Yashi, who was also easily shaken by the opponent.
Utu defense is up, a one-on-one head-to-head duel between the two sides!
In an instant, Utu made a judgment: "The opponent in the fast run, observe the center line of his body!" Sure enough, he judged the direction of Iverson, it was his left side!
Iverson's body tilted at a wide angle of almost 45 degrees, and Utu met him with an arrow step without showing weakness. Both are slender types, and they can make many moves in one big stride, which is enough to determine the success or failure of this matchup.
Iverson broke through, and Utu was on guard. The two sides chased in a few big steps, but Iverson was a little faster! But the forcible force of these few steps made him rush over his head, and his body came to the bottom line, but his steps could not be stopped. He had no choice but to force a jump for a layup.
Chasing another new force behind him, Hanamichi jumped up at the same time as him and pinned the ball to the rebound with one palm!
The Chinese team regained the ball again!
