Chapter 266: Battle of Xiangshan (5)

“... Bach, do you have any thoughts on the under-basket hook that Yamada just made? Dave looked at the figure of the Xiangbei players returning to their rest area on the field and groaned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What do you mean?" Bach was a little puzzled by this raid.

"Well, I'm talking about Yamada's basket hook just now, which is a bit like a person." Dave glanced at Bach and said with some disgust: This assistant is good at everything, but sometimes he thinks too much.

"It's... It's still a little familiar to you, but I really can't remember who it looks like for a while. Bach slapped his forehead at first, then frowned and thought carefully, unable to find a clue for a moment.

"Deacon Bay of Georgetown!" Shaking his head, Dave opened his mouth to remind.

"The Congolese who was chosen by the Nuggets? Well, this hook is really a bit like that! After Dave reminded Bach, he immediately realized: it turned out to be this guy, he has been very popular recently!

........

As a 25-year-old (?) The African player who entered the draft was not young at the time, but even though he entered the draft at the age of 25, he was still selected by the Denver Nuggets in the fourth round in the first round. In his college days, he broke the all-time team record, with 12 blocks to do what Alonzo didn't do, and was called the feared inside "block machine"! In college, he not only blocked tenaciously, but also excelled in the current interior card position under the basket, and set a record record of 389 rebounds and 259 defensive rebounds in a single season in school history, while also holding the team's highest single-season shooting percentage - 70.9%.

After being drafted by the Nuggets, he quickly adapted in the league, and on April 18, three months ago, in the Nuggets' game against the Clippers, he blocked opponents 12 times, setting a personal single-game block record. This personal record made him one of the top three in the NBA's single-game block rankings. Smith, whose 17 blocks he made in the Lakers' game against the Trail Blazers, was on October 28, 1973, and second, Nate Smith. Thurmond, whose 12 blocks he made in the Bulls' game against the Hawks on October 18, 1974, and the third is the African basketball player who is under the age of 30, at least in recent times.

In his rookie season in '91-92, he averaged 16.6 points, 12.3 rebounds and nearly three blocks per game, and his first-year career was a glorious one in the Big Four centers, and he was selected to the All-Star team in '91-92 that year. In April of this year, he perfectly interpreted the game against the Clippers: what is a "block machine"!

Some people say: according to the current situation, Deacon Bay will become the sixth center in the league in the next two or three years, this expectation, this ranking is indeed a bit inflated, but his potential and strength on the defensive end are indeed undoubted, although on the offensive end his means are a little weak, swinging his hook with one hand, wiping the board with the basket with the other, and then gone... But these are the must-haves for a pure traditional center, and with these offensive means, he is the middle of the league's current center, and if you add his skills and body to match the four centers on the defensive end, he is indeed worthy of what others expect of him.

........

Above mentioned this, the well-read Mr. Bach thought of... Well, he's just a guy who "lives in Cao Ying's heart and is in Han", he yearns for the big world (the coach's seat of an NBA team), but at this time his body is in Windsor City. However, Dave, who was sitting next to him, was very different from him, he was bent on the Devils, and he did not aspire to professional basketball at all: the team should listen to the coach, not the players! This is the academic school.

He admires this kind of coach who is dedicated to basketball, but he will not become one of them, admire their ethics, learn from their experience, as a newcomer to the coaching world, Bach still has a lot to learn, and he does the same at this time.

"Mr. Dave, you mean, Yamada," Bach tried.

The two American guests in the VIP table quickly exchanged opinions in fluent English, so that the neon people who had only learned "foreign English" listened to two sentences out of ten, and listened to the clouds and mountains and fog covers.

Just when the eavesdroppers were half-understanding, the intermission was over.

Xiangbei and Sanno players returned to the field.

In the second half, the starting Xiangbei discharged the strongest lineup: Yamada Tada, Akagi, Sakuragi, Rukawa, Mitsui, and the relative mountain king is also an elite in and out: Kawada Masashi, Nobe, Zebei, Matsumoto, Fukatsu, and the fight is imminent.

"Ahh Ah Mu stroked the tips of the hair that fell down in front of his forehead, and his words were quite rare with a little laughter.

The Hainan people sitting nearby were also shocked, and they turned their eyes to the field.

"Beep!" With the whistle, the second half began.

This time, Yamada was in charge of jumping the ball, and the ball was directly grabbed by him in the air, and Masashi Kawada on the opposite side may have lost his strength, and the two were separated with a touch in the air.

Mitsui took the ball and dribbled steadily to the frontcourt, in the face of the current Xiangbei lineup Shenjin can't even play the mind of pressing, last year's Xiangbei lineup was sparse and their pressing was useless, not to mention the strong Xiangbei now?

Looking at Mitsui in front of him, Fukatsu's hairs stood up, Mitsui posed as a triple threat, changing lines and shaking his shoulders, cross-stepping and half-turning, and the key was that Mitsui's dribbling was below the knee several times... In this regard, the only thing that Fukatsu can do is to shake his spirit and calm down to deal with it.

Three-pointer on the left side, Tadashi Yamada against Masashi Kawada, he beckoned to Mitsui, who forced a step back and hit the ground, Fukatsu was shaken and couldn't do anything about the ball.

Yamada vs Kawada!

The hall immediately boiled, although it was not the expected Akagi vs Kawada, but the two were almost the same in height, and there was no dislocation or anything, not to mention that one was the first high school student in the country, and the other was the three major centers in the country, this will definitely be a battle for the dragon!

There are no fancy moves, Yamada Tada, who received the basketball, turned around and leaned on, allowing himself to get space to move, and immediately leaned again, and then leaned again, so quickly after five times, Kawada's center of gravity finally overturned, and then Yamada Tadashi showed a perfect backward (floating) jumper, Kawada only stabilized the center of gravity at this time, and did not have the ability to block, it is not that I don't want to!

"Huh!"

71:54!

Flowing movements, perfect fundamentals.

The stands were open as if they were exploding, and Domoto was blank.

"What a beautiful posture, such solid basic skills!" The first half of the sentence can also be said to be a general praise, a praise for the picturesque offensive skills of Yamada Tada, and the second half of the sentence has a different meaning, which represents the amazement of his solid back hitting action! For the step-back jumper Dave just now, Coach Dave faintly felt a sense of rising to the philosophical realm, which can only be found when watching the Bulls' No. 23!

"It's beautiful indeed!" Bach was also amazed.

This is just the beginning, and in the next four rounds, Xiangbei's side was all finished by Yamada Zhong, all kinds of backward jumpers, including sudden and backward steps, back-shaking back-backs, **** back-ups that came when catching the ball, and so on. The relative Mountain Kings didn't do very well on the offensive end, maybe they shouldn't be blamed! Under the full-court defense of Xiangbei at all costs, Zebei handed in a report card of 5 shots and 1 hit, and the only ball in the basket stumbled several times, and finally entered unwillingly. Seeing that Zebei was blocked by Xiangbei severely, Fukatsu decisively shifted the point of attack to Matsumoto. It may be that he has been doing the task of scoring the fourth point all year round, and he is a little unaccustomed to suddenly putting the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and in the end his efficiency is not too good, but his performance is at least much better than the previous Zebei 2-layer hit, 2 of 4, and 5 points.

On the other hand, in less than 5 minutes, Yamada scored 21 points, 2 boards, 2 blocks, 1 steal, and 1 assist, including 5 singles against Kawada, hitting all of them in the middle distance, and also let the latter receive 2 fouls, so that his cumulative fouls reached 3, and the three defensive counterattacks were all three-pointers, and all of them hit, and another assist was scored, and Mitsui hit this empty three-pointer.

90:62!
