Chapter Sixty-Six: Now It's a Few to Some
"One to zero." Kobe Bryant looked at Uncle Jordan with a lewd smile on his face and said.
The other players on the court are really full of admiration for Kobe, Kobe Bryant's paranoid and different heart they may not understand, but being able to speak provocatively to Jordan is something they want to do and admire.
The wonderful thing about the ball just now is that Kobe Bryant didn't have any extra dribbles, and he simply accelerated past Jordan, which made people feel effortless.
?“ Awesome, but then, it's up to me. Jordan slowly spat out a sentence.
Jordan stood there with his waist crossed and started BB, and Hu Qingniu looked at him.
Hu Qingniu smiled and said to the three people around him: "You look, Michael Jordan's mentality has not been affected at all, but he has been spewing trash talk non-stop." This mindset is very relevant for your future performance on the pitch, don't be afraid of your opponents, and don't let your emotions interfere with you. “

Jordan walked to a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line on his own and stretched out his hand to ask Iverson for the ball. If it were someone else, the AI might ignore it and do it first. But Old Man Joe's face, everyone has to give, without him there would be no current NBA.
Jordan is well aware of his strengths, his weight and strength are advantages compared to Kobe, and his speed and bounce are half a pound.
Jordan then leaned his back against Kobe, leaned forward, pouted his buttocks, and felt Kobe's position. The most important thing for a back-spanking master is to have a big butt, which can be used both to open the way and to judge the opponent's position well. Barkley and Bonziwells are proof of this.
The ball flew from the middle line, and Jordan grabbed it with his big hand and took it into his own hands. The two feet did not move at all, so that Kobi could not figure out which foot was the central foot.
Kobe Bryant could only stretch out his right hand in a position that the referee couldn't see, and pressed Jordan's waist hard against him, while pushing forward. Jordan has been in the NBA for many years, and he hasn't seen any kind of tricks, he doesn't care, but thinks that this is part of the basketball court.
Jordan suddenly turned to the left side with Kobe's strength, his left foot in an axis, and his right foot spun out in a half circle.
To the right?
Bryant pulled back with his right foot, stepped forward with his left foot, and moved slightly to the right.
At this time, Jordan's actions did not end, just like a wound clockwork, a series of actions, made quickly.
The moment his right foot landed, his butt pouted hard, and the right hand holding the ball put down the basketball, a low luck, with the basketball bouncing, the left foot of the previous central axis foot left the ground, and the right foot was converted to the central axis, and the body was like a spinning top, and the whole body came to the left side of Kobe, and two pairs of sharp eyes looked at each other in the air!
But this kind of direct gaze is just a blink of an eye, Kobe Bryant has fallen behind by one move, Jordan slapped the ball hard, and the two ended the standoff like lightning!
Kobe Bryant was constrained by Jordan's pouting force, and his body couldn't turn around, so he could only turn his head and look in the direction of the opponent from afar.
Jordan entered the penalty area, which was quite easy, but at this time standing in the penalty area was Yao Ming, who had just been replaced.
Yao Ming raised his hands, and there was no basket left in Jordan's view.
What did the little brother of the coach grow up eating, which is too big, Jordan couldn't help but be speechless.
Is this the time to think wildly, Jordan has already seen Garnett's eager figure out of the corner of his eye. I believe that he is absolutely willing to stand up and fan a big hot pot.
One step, two steps, Jordan's steps are not fast, but the stride is far and high, and the rhythm is very good. This is a method that Jordan came up with in order to deal with big men.
At the last liftoff, Jordan's whole body shrank into Yao Ming's arms, leaving Garnett with no idea what to do.
Then he lifted the ball with both hands, looking for Yao Ming's two-handed confrontation. Yao Ming is just a rookie egg, who knows so many traps, stupidly stretched out his hand to shoot the ball.
Jordan laughed happily, this guy was a little silly, he tried his best to lean on Yao Ming's palm, and the moment he made contact, he threw the ball in the direction of the basket, regardless of whether it went in or not.
Anyway, the referee's whistle has already sounded.
"Tick!"
The referee made a gesture of clapping his hands and pointed at Yao Ming, No. 11, foul!
The ball didn't go in, so it was two free throws.
Jordan kindly patted Yao Ming's buttocks, signaling him not to be discouraged. Actually, he wanted to touch his head again, but he couldn't reach it.
Yao Ming also has no regrets, he thought of this ending the moment Jordan came in, as long as it wasn't 2+1.
Although the ball ended with Jordan winning a free throw, anyone who knows a little bit will be dazzled by Yao Ming. This height is almost equivalent to putting away the basket in the restricted area. If you can teach this oriental giant defensive habits well, he can definitely become the team's Optimus Prime in the penalty area.
Many people have misunderstood Yao Ming's defensive ability, after all, he only averages 1.9 blocks per game. Even Captain Rockets' defensive record of ranking among the top three in the league for many years is mostly cited as the reason for Coach Van Gundy Jr., or Battier or even later Artay.
In fact, Yao Ming has only made the best defensive team three teams, and his defense is greatly underrated.
Defensive ability is not only reflected in one-on-one, there will be a lot of misalignment of defense and the use of reasonable positioning to help defend in the game. Yao Ming's court IQ is undoubted, which has been praised by many people. Yao Ming can understand and execute all of Van Gundy's defensive intentions on the court, which allows the Rockets to be organized on the defensive end, and teammates are not afraid of missing people once or twice, because Yao Ming stands on the inside, and few people will choose to be tough on a mountain.
But if too many people are missed, Yao Ming will be fouled too much, so there are later Battier and Artest.
Another reason why Yao Ming was questioned about his poor ability on the defensive end was that there were fewer blocks, compared to the average of 2 points per game in the top few blocks list, Yao Ming's blocks were indeed a little less. But it's important to note that a good block doesn't mean a good defense, and the purpose of a real inside gate is never to cover every ball you have, but to make you feel like every ball is likely to be covered.
Yao Ming's entire career shooting percentage against his defensive opponents is less than 40%, which is a terrifying statistic.
There was a game in the playoffs against the Trail Blazers, and the Rockets easily won.
In the post-game interview, Aldridge said: "I don't think it's something else, the problem is that Yao was there all the time, like I said before, my first hook shot in the game, I thought it was easy, but I didn't expect Yao to come and cover it, his presence forced us to make difficult shots. “
In fact, "presence" is the greatest value embodiment of interior defense.

Jordan easily scored two free throws and said to Kobe Bryant with a smile: "See, it's 1-1 now."
