Chapter 9: Street Races
Joey. Dorsey, I believe many Rockets fans must have an impression of this name, the Rockets have been introduced as a backup center when the team's interior injury tide is booming, Dorsey's appearance resembles "Warcraft" Dwight. Howard, the template for the draft is Ben Wallace, who once won the Defensive Player of the Year award, who has defensive intensity similar to that of two All-Star centers and a Mr. Bodybuilder-level bodybuilder, and is also an interior defensive stalwor.
But Dorsey's not top-notch physicality and the same poor free throws as Howard and Big Ben, coupled with his often convulsive personality and open-mouthed mouth, made Dorsey wander from team to team after entering the NBA, and was cut by the Nuggets after moving to multiple teams, and finally mixed up in the European League.
Before facing Ohio State University, which has "The Great" Oden and Conley, he said in an interview with the media that "The Great" Oden was an overrated player, and also threatened that he would grab 20 rebounds on Oden's head, but in the head-to-head confrontation between the two, Oden completely suppressed Dorsey in the game, and Dorsey only got 0 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 fouls in the whole game, which once became a joke in the NCAA.
But at this time, Dorsey was still only a talented high school student, and had not yet grown into an inside monster who would guard the University of Memphis in later generations, and he came to Santa Sithera Stadium to watch the game when he went to visit his aunt's house in Detroit, and happened to be selected by Sun Yue to play against the "Marauders" team.
After the warm-up of the players on both sides, the game is about to start, the referee asked the players on both sides to prepare, Sun Yue is not worried that the referee will favor the "predator" of the home advantage, street basketball is about the strong first, and the audience is the best referee on the street court. The referee decides which side will attack first by tossing a coin, and the result of the coin toss is that the "predator" will attack first.
Stephen skillfully dribbled the basketball on the right side of the three-point line, and Sun Yue always kept a step away. Willis moves to the weak side and takes Mark with him.
Sun Yue couldn't help but step forward to pull out the ball, Stephen changed direction with the situation, and turned to shake Sun Yue, when Dorsey under the basket pressed up, Stephen was ready to pass the ball behind his left hand, Dorsey reached out and broke the ball, but found nothing, the ball was hidden by Stephen in his wide clothes and sandwiched with his right arm, the clothes were lifted, and his right hand was stuffed straight to Minoni, who was empty under the basket. Minoni jumped high and was about to dunk, and the crowd was ready to applaud and whistle for this fluid attack.
Suddenly, the basketball in Minoni's hand was actually slapped on the rebound by a big black hand, and Dorsey, who was still in front of Stephen just now, had already defended himself to the basket and covered Minoni's dunk.
The cap showed Dorsey's physicality perfectly, and the whole court cheered for the beautiful pegboard hat. Street basketball is like that, it doesn't matter who plays beautiful basketball, as long as the beautiful offense or defense deserves to be cheered by everyone.
Dorsey snatched the basketball and said domineeringly to Minoni: "Score under my basket, no way." "Pass the basketball you grabbed to Sun Yue outside the three-point line.
Sun Yue took the ball and turned his back to hit Stephen, which was clearly bullying Stephen, who was only one meter and eight meters tall, with his height advantage of more than two meters, Sun Yue kept hitting the free throw line with his back, and Stephen had nothing to do.
Suddenly, Sun Yue turned around and jumped, Stephen completely interfered with his shot, and the basketball crossed a flat arc, banged, hit the rebound, and fell into the net.
People inside and outside the court didn't react, Sun Yue's speed of turning and jumping was too fast, the technical movements used were too simple, and the audience next to the court booed, this goal didn't show Sun Yue's basketball level at all, just like the usual basketball training, it was as simple and effective as usual basketball training.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Yue made two consecutive feints, shook up the defensive Stephen, cut into the basket, and scored another simple board goal. Then a pull-up jump shot under Dorsey's cover was hollowed into the frame.
Stephen frowned and said, "Hey, boy, this is a street basketball court, not your school basketball arena, and no one likes to watch these ugly jump shots or layups." “
Stephen thinks that this yellow man known as the "skipper" is not very strong, and can only score with this ugly attack. Unexpectedly, Sun Yue ignored him, which made Stephen firm in his opinion that Sun Yue had no strength.
Dorsey didn't get the ball in three consecutive attacks, and he was a little impatient, and the pegboard hat just now gave Dorsey a lot of confidence. He grabbed his position and reached out to ask, completely ignoring the fact that he didn't jam Minoni behind him at all.
Seeing that Dorsey took the initiative to ask for the ball, Sun Yue, who was a Rocket fan in his previous life, gave Dorsey a face, passed the ball to Dorsey, and asked him to play Minoni alone.
Dorsey felt that he was completely stuck in position, but he didn't realize that he had been withdrawn from the basket area by Minoni, and he grabbed the basketball and went straight to the basket with a single offensive skill.
Unexpectedly, this fell into the trap of the experienced Minoni, who jumped high, slapped the basketball and gave Dorsey a solid block.
The young Dorsey was suddenly stunned after being capped, and he didn't dare to shoot casually on the offense, and the defensive end did not have the vitality of the opening, and the "Marauders" also took this opportunity to rely on the tacit cooperation between each other to frequently play fluent cooperation.
On Sun Yue's side, Sun Yue's desire to attack is not strong, mainly relying on Sun Yue and Mark's blocking and dismantling cooperation and Dorsey's leakage scoring.
With Mark running out of the open space under Dorsey's off-ball cover and receiving Sun Yue's pass, a classic three-man tactical combination, Mark made a mid-range jumper, such as 9:9.
The audience on the basketball court was excited, and few teams could play so fiercely with the "Marauders", although the team led by the yellow race had a bad style of play. "But a jumper and a layup aren't much worse than a dunk." Many viewers changed their minds.
Match penalty, Sun Yue controlled the ball on the outside, Mark was ready to come over to block and dismantle, Sun Yue signaled not to block and dismantle, facing Stephen who was waiting for him, a cross step, moved the basketball from his chest to his crotch, Stephen's center of gravity also moved, Sun Yue made a momentum to break forward, and then quickly retreated, returned to the three-point line with both feet, raised the ball and pulled out three points, everyone's eyes moved with the basketball, "brushed" 10:9, and the "predator" lost.
This goal made Stephen's heart fall into the ice cave in an instant, his team was defeated by such a patchwork team, and the yellow man who could only shoot actually shot a three-point shot on his head, which made Stephen, who has always dominated the basketball court of San Cistera, how acceptable.
Stephen glanced at Sun Yue fiercely: "Hey, yellow-skinned monkey, you are lucky to beat us with your ugly shot, dare you bet again, this time the stakes are doubled." "Stephen, who clearly lost the game and dollars, is already a little hysterical.
The word "yellow-skinned monkey" completely angered Sun Yue, if it weren't for the fear of causing racial disputes, the word "" would have blurted out of Sun Yue's mouth.
Sun Yue, who was completely enraged, said: "No, this time we will play big, $1,000 a game." ”
Stephen is now like a gambler who has gambled all his bets on the casino, all of me tigers)))) despite the objections of the team: "Come on, stinky boy. ”
Compared with the disagreement in the "Marauders" team, Sun Yue's side is unanimous, Dorsey is because he doesn't have to give money if he loses anyway, and Mark is because he obviously felt that Sun Yue did not play his full strength in the last game, and many basketballs that can be covered or broken chose to let go, he believes that in the second game of this street game, the enraged Sun Yue will give the "Marauders" a surprise.
