Chapter 166: Harden Possessed!
In basketball, there is not only a way to score, but also a higher way to shoot and make free throws.
A person stands at the free throw line and shoots, everyone can only watch, there is no defender to defend, such a beautiful thing, except for O'Neal, I believe any player will like it.
But how can it be so easy to get a foul?
There is no shortage of foul makers in the NBA, such as Martin, Durant, Wade, Pierce, Ginobili, and Kobe, all of whom are good at making fouls, and they have a lot of moves to deceive opponents into fouls.
However, when it comes to making fouls, there is a person who can be listed separately.
He is James Harden, who is known as "Nightclub" and "Harkey Stone"!
Other people's fouls are all using skills and footwork to deceive opponents, and Harden has obviously been sublimated to another level.
Once, there was a game between the Rockets and the Clippers, Harden held the ball and attacked quickly, Griffin ran in front of Harden, Griffin originally wanted to guard against the Rockets' fast attack, but when he saw that it was James Harden who was attacking with the ball! Suddenly panicked, where is the willingness to dare to defend? took steps and ran forward hard, just to run out of the court early before Harden arrived, so as not to be beaten 2+1 by Harden.
Block Harden? That's unthinkable.
However, where is Harden willing to let go of Griffin's bloody head?
Shout, silly Fen, where to run!
Quickly rushed forward and ran after Griffin, but before Griffin ran out, he rubbed on him and gave two free throws.
When the offense is fast, he can chase the defender and make free throws, except for Harden, there is really no one.
As early as 2015, Harden scored more than 700 free throws in a single season, and in 2017, the number of free throws in a single season was close to 900......
Harden's ability to make fouls is beyond doubt, and the way he is best at making fouls is to make fouls on European step layups, not only for him, for any player, European step layups are the easiest way to make fouls, of course, any technique needs to be practiced diligently, not everyone can do it, if you are not careful, you will be blown away.
In addition to his set of skills, there is one reason why Harden can use European steps to cheat so many fouls, and that is his strength.
Harden is very strong, especially his upper body strength, the Rockets have a game, Harden was able to hit Monroe head-on when he made a layup, which is enough to prove that Harden's physical confrontation is very strong, which is also the basis for you to make fouls.
Because of the layup to make a foul, you first have to make sure that you can protect your ball, if the slightest physical contact, your body balance is affected, then the opponent will directly cut the ball away, and do not give you a layup to make a foul at all.
Now, Sun Zhuo learned that another hidden setting of the game, the European step layup, will increase the strength value, that is, enhance the ability to fight physically, so that Sun Zhuo has a body comparable to or even better than Harden, with this basic condition, just like Harden, master the skills, you can easily cheat fouls.
In fact, many times the defender fouls, before the defense, he does not want to foul, when the body contact, if he feels that the opponent is provoking and pressing, then he will also increase the strength to fight back against the opponent.
The foul just now was like this, Wade didn't want to exert force, but after making physical contact with Sun Zhuo, he found that Sun Zhuo's strength was fierce, which caused his conditioned reflex, and he unconsciously tried to stop Sun Zhuo, resulting in a foul.
"I can use this to make a foul!" Sun Zhuo was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to discover a new ability in the Olympic Games!
And this time, it's playing against a team with James!
"James is truly my lucky star! Every time you play against him, you can find bugs! I'll have to look back and see when my first game against the Cavaliers of the new season was, and that could be the day I get my new abilities......"
Sun Zhuo called it a "European step layup foul bug", but he knew that this should not be a bug, it was the same as the bottom corner three-pointer, it was a setting that could be used multiple times in the game.
In fact, this setting has many uses, not only to make fouls, but also to help Sun Zhuo complete an action that he has long wanted to complete, that is, European step dunk!
Players who have played basketball games, especially the 2K series, know that after you make a European step, you can only end up with a layup, and the game simply does not allow the existence of a dunk after the European step, just like in a basketball game, Curry or any player will never be able to easily shoot a long-range three.
What can't be done in the game, Wade can do it in reality.
Is Wade the best bouncing player in the NBA?
Zach Lavin jumped high and stayed in the air longer than him, so why couldn't LaVine do it?
That's because of power.
If you don't have enough strength to take on defenders, you can't dunk overhead after a European step.
Now Sun Zhuo's strength value is also average, and the designer of this game seems to be a bit racist, and the strength of his self-built characters is not as good as that of NBA stars.
At this time, Sun Zhuo suddenly remembered Wade's ball that dunked Valejo, and after European steps, he collided with Vallejo in the air, knocked Vallejo out directly in the air, and then completed the dunk!
"After the European step, my physical confrontation increased, who defended me, I was like Wade dunked Valejo, knocked him out to complete the dunk!"
Sun Zhuo became excited, he felt that he could now try to do a European step dunk and other anti-heaven actions!
"Either make a foul or just dunk hard, once I make a European step, it will be your nightmare! Hmph, do you think you can limit me by blocking my bottom three points? ”
Sun Zhuo once said that the bottom corner is his home, if he could, he wanted to stay in the bottom corner for the whole game, but the opponent didn't give Sun Zhuo a chance to shoot in the bottom corner at all, which made Sun Zhuo very uncomfortable and angry, Larry Brown and Popovich were too much!
Next, Sun Zhuo immediately greeted the American team in the way of James Harden!
A European step layup went straight to the basket and hit Tim Duncan, both of them flipped on their backs, and the referee immediately blew Duncan's foul.
Seeing that the physical contact between the two was still quite intense, Yu Jia couldn't help but remind: "Sun Zhuo is a little anxious to score, why did he rush into the inner line like this?" Be careful of injury, it's still a loss to collide with a big center like Duncan. ”
"Yes, I got the free throw, but it was risky, and now the score hasn't been widened, so there's no need to do it." Zhang Weiping also said.
In fact, when Sun Zhuo stepped to the basket, the physical confrontation had increased a lot, and it was not as bad as everyone imagined.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Zhuo made another European step after starting the wind step, causing a foul on Richard Jefferson.
This time, Larry Brown and Popovich couldn't sit still and angrily scolded the referee: he was cheating on the foul!
But this is not the NBA, where are the referees bird them? He said to the two famous NBA coaches: "You first find out what are the differences between the NBA and FIBA blowing scales, and then shout at me!" ”
The U.S. team was chased by the Chinese team one after another, and the U.S. team was forced to call a timeout, and Larry Brown scolded Richard Jefferson: "Why did you let Sun cheat and foul on you so easily?" When he uses European steps, you go to cut his ball, haven't you seen how many times Sun was cut by opponents and how many layup mistakes when the Lakers played the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs? ”
Richard Jefferson was aggrieved: "I tried, but I couldn't move at all!" He pressed one arm over, my arm couldn't move at all, and I didn't want to use such a big movement to defend against him, but I couldn't prevent it at all if I didn't use all my strength! ”
Richard Jefferson's words made all American players stunned, is Sun Zhuo's strength so strong? I've never heard of it!
"Ahem......"
At this moment, James suddenly let out two light coughs.
Larry Brown turned to look at James and glanced at James's strong muscles, James was physically strong, was this a hint that he wanted to play to defend Sun Zhuo?
James saw Larry Brown looking at him with an expectant look a second later, and quickly explained: "Coach, don't get me wrong, I'm really coughing!" ”
