044 Decisive Moment
The basketball rolled to Yang Yiming's feet.
He grabbed it with one hand and held the ball in the palm of his hand. The skin feels the lines on the surface of the basketball. Yang Yiming looked ahead, and the basket was about 4 meters away from the basketball in his hand. If you lift the basketball above your head, the distance between the two before the shot will be closer. He stood at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the box, almost exactly at the halfway point between the basket and the three-point line. According to the rules, he can also choose a shooting point again, but Yang Yiming decided to give up, and he felt quite comfortable with this mid-range shooting position at a 45-degree angle.
Choosing a shot point, he slightly adjusts the stance of his feet to shoulder width. His eyes never took their eyes off the basket. He wanted to etch the position and height of the basket in his mind. It is said that the athlete's reaction on the court all comes from instantaneous muscle memory, but since he can't beat the experienced Nowitzki in muscle memory, he can only rely on his own brain to try. In the final analysis, all the reactions of the muscles are all under the command of the brain.
This challenge may be Yang Yiming's last chance.
There are still two days left in Fort Worth, and if you can't beat Nowitzki in blind shooting today, and save the possibility of the challenge until tomorrow, or simply the last day, then even if you win Nowitzki, you probably won't have time to play with the opponent again.
So this showdown is Yang Yiming's last and best chance. Even if the first set of shots in this duel was initiated by Yang Yiming, it seemed to be an unfavorable situation, but his cramped and panicked was only a few seconds from the coin landing to the basketball rolling to his feet. The moment his hand touched the basketball, he had already made up his mind:
Win or lose, this is it!
He has personally experienced and won the seemingly impossible situation on the NBA court, and this is just a blind shooting game on the practice court!
Compared to the turbulent waves of the field, this kind of challenge is actually too pediatric!
With a heart, Yang Yiming calculated the battle plan when aiming. Although he made the first shot and made five shots at one spot, his "plagiarist" skill can still be used at the second spot: he can mimic Nowitzki's technique of shooting blindly at the previous spot. As long as you can get infinitely close to Nowitzki's shooting action and feel, and control your strength according to the change in the distance of the shot, you may have a chance to win this time.
His keys to victory:
Master the shooting power.
Hit as many balls as you can from the first shooting spot.
Yang Yiming glanced at the basket solemnly, took a deep breath, and bent his knee joint. Without the skill assistance of the "plagiarist", he can only recall Novitsky's shooting sensation repeatedly in his mind, imagine his movements and his body becoming one, and then in one go, close his eyes, and throw!
The basketball slid softly out of his fingers, and Yang Yiming also learned from Nowitzki not to open his eyes in a hurry, and followed the action until his ears caught the sound of the basketball touching the basket frame, and then opened his eyes.
To be exact, the sound is the sound of the basketball simply touching the net!
A perfect hollow into the net.
This ball was actually steady and impartial, and it shot directly into the Nets! Yang Yiming suddenly came to confidence, and he immediately motioned for Yu Xiaochun to send the second ball. Yu Xiaochun was fortunately holding a basketball in his arms, and he pushed out his hands from his chest, just in the position where Yang Yiming was comfortable receiving the ball, and the latter only aimed for a second this time, and then closed his eyes and shot again!
It's hollow again!
This time, Yu Xiaochun's ball didn't need to be commanded, and it was passed tightly to the rhythm. Yang Yiming received the ball and shot, although the ball did not go in this time, the direction was still very positive, but the strength was a little worse and hit the hoop. On the fourth ball, he paused slightly, looked at the basket, closed his eyes and hesitated for more than a second. This is very rare in Yang Yiming's previous blind shooting, every time he either hesitates and shoots in a panic, or shoots as quickly as the first three balls, as if to take advantage of the impression of the basket in his mind has not faded. But this time, he actually made a bamboo in his chest, and he was ready enough with his eyes closed, so he threw the ball leisurely.
I actually swam around the hoop and the ball went in!
Yang Yiming, who is in the third of the fourth, has a lot of confidence in his heart. The ball, when he grabbed the basketball to prepare, didn't actually think about the shooting action - he believed that through the feeling of the first few balls, the movement had become one with the body - all he needed to do was to place the basket in the right and accurate position in the dark, and then, towards that position, throw his ball!
The fifth goal, also scored!
In the first five balls, Yang Yiming made 4 of 5, and the pressure was lost to Nowitzki.
Nowitzki was also 3-of-5 from the field, missing the second and fifth balls. Yang Yiming temporarily led 4-3.
Taking advantage of Nowitzki's first shooting point, Yang Yiming used his "plagiarist" skill to capture his technical moves, and all he had to do in the next few rounds was to use the same moves to maintain the advantage established in the first round!
But unexpectedly, the second shooting point Yang Yiming actually changed to a completely different angle and distance, from a 45-degree middle distance directly to the left end of the free throw line. Since the "plagiarist" skill can only help him learn Nowitzki's shooting moves, and the strength control of the opponent's actions cannot be borrowed due to the change of position, Yang Yiming wants to simply hold the key to victory firmly and decide by himself!
In the second shooting point, Yang Yiming shot 2 goals and Nowitzki shot 2 goals, and the score was 6-5.
At the third shooting point, at a zero-degree angle of one meter outside the penalty area, Yang Yiming hit 3 goals and Nowitzki hit 2 goals, and the score was 9-7.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...
2 to 3, 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 2, 1 to 1, 4 to 3.
Nine shooting points were completed in turn, and Yang Yiming actually led Nowitzki 22-19.
Because Nowitzki only has a maximum of 5 shots left, as long as Yang Yiming shoots 3 goals from the last point, he can absolutely guarantee the victory.
Even if you can't hit 3 goals, you will need Nowitzki to be in the best shape at the last point to be able to tie or even overtake! The advantage of shooting first is finally reflected, and now all the pressure is on Nowitzki's side, and Yang Yiming can travel lightly!
Again, he chose a position at an angle of 45 degrees, only one step back from the previous one. He took the first shot and it hit. The lead came to 4 goals, which means that the king must have an 80% shooting rate at the last point to equalize the game!
In this good situation, Yang Yiming was probably a little relaxed, he missed the second and third goals, and Nowitzki seemed to see hope again.
"Can't make it!" Nowitzki's wife, Jessica Olsen, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but give up her demeanor at the moment, not being a true gentleman, and shouting when Yang Yiming closed his eyes and prepared. The purpose, of course, is to disrupt the latter's shooting rhythm and create the last chance for her husband.
It is conceivable that Yang Yiming heard Jessica Olsen's coaxing, and he didn't move like a statue, only the corners of his mouth were pursed, he smiled slightly, and then threw the basketball out of his hand as if he had practiced blind shooting thousands of times.
Entered!
24 to 19.
He was invincible.
Only the last ball remains. Catch the ball - he closed his eyes again! ()
