Chapter 149: Fold the Layup
With a huge dribble, Artest also has to be careful to deal with. Although his brain could only convey his excitement, he also knew that this was Ding Mo'an's preparation to attack. So Artest hurriedly expanded his defensive range, while guessing in which direction Ding Mo'an would break through.
Swinging his arms from side to side continuously, Ding Mo'an pressed the ball to the lowest, and his skillful dribbling allowed Ding Mo'an to use his fingertips to pluck the ball back and forth even if he bent down at this time. At the same time, Ding Moan also observed Artest's defensive position. There are no problems with his defensive position, and the Rockets are also very confident that Artest, the one-on-one defensive specialist who signed a $7 million contract this summer, has no one to come up to help.
After Ding Mo'an noted the positions of the other players on the Rockets behind Artest, he began to step out left and right in a row, and slowly approached with a dribble under his crotch. Artest didn't step back behind the three-point line, and his favorite way was to go up and wrap his body around the ball handler, disrupt the rhythm of the dribble, and take advantage of the opportunity to break the ball.
This is his most customary method.
Therefore, when Ding Mo'an came to the half-step position of the three-point line, Artest was like a beast out of the cage, frantically pounced on Ding Mo'an, and at the same time opened his arms to cover Ding Mo'an. And when he moved, Ding Mo'an also moved. The basketball in his hand, which had been slowly plucked by him, had now slammed into the floor with a sound like a drum.
In an instant, Artest was so close that even Ding Moan could see the tiny threads on his jersey. And Artest's arm has also laid a net around Ding Mo'an at this moment, unless Ding Mo'an can fly over, otherwise this big net can effortlessly scoop up Ding Mo'an, the big fish in his opinion.
However, Ding Mo'an, who was moving forward slowly, picked up the basketball with his left-handed arm at the moment when Artest surrounded him, and the whole person suddenly rushed to the right side, and even the moment Ding Mo'an copied the ball, the center of gravity of the whole person was so low that a pair of long arms were only ten centimeters off the ground. Artest's center of gravity was also at that moment with Ding Mo'an copying the ball and blocking to the right.
It's just that when Ding Mo'an, who leaned down and cut the ball in his right hand, coherently staged a left-handed change for his right hand, and after half a second of sudden change of direction, the sharp cut of the ball instantly made Ding Mo'an get rid of the shackles of gravity, and with a fast pace, he quickly rushed towards the left side of Artest's flash, and sprinted out!
Artest is shaken?!
The players on the Rockets bench were shocked! What kind of defensive level Artest has, how can these teammates who have been running in for more than two months not know, even if Artest usually doesn't use his pair of iron elbows in training, just his physical fitness and defensive experience are enough to make everyone worship his defense.
However, a rookie rookie who has not played a single NBA official game today directly shook Artest's defense and walked away? Even these Rocket players were even more surprised that when Ding Mo'an accelerated the ball and rushed past Artest, he couldn't react, this is the rhythm of the center of gravity being shaken to Java!
There was a sigh of exclamation on the Rockets bench, Yao Ming, who was sitting on the bench covered with a white towel, also saw Ding Mo'an's strength from this ball, and it was a pity: It would be nice if Xiao Ding was in the national team at that time, with his impact, we will definitely be able to go further.
What Yao Ming doesn't know is that unless the Basketball Association steps down now, Ding Mo'an will never join the men's basketball team for the rest of his life. This is Ding Mo'an's disheartened decision after being repeatedly injured in China. Completely getting rid of Artest, Ding Moan's speed, even in NBA-level games, is still unstoppable.
went straight to the inside, and the first thing to come back to his senses was that Mutombo, the most experienced in the Rockets, and the return defense of the African mountains made the Grizzlies teammates on and off the court very worried. Despite the age of the African mountains, the last verse was the one that brought Kyle to the Mountains. Lowry and a group of Grizzlies players who tried to impact the interior turned their hats on their backs and told everyone: Lian Po is old, but your uncle is still your uncle.
Ding Mo'an, who is fast, did not show the slightest timidity when he saw the mountains of Africa, this ball must be scored! And Mutombo couldn't help but marvel at Ding Mo'an's speed when he saw Ding Mo'an, who rushed towards him and arrived in front of him almost in the blink of an eye. But it was only an exclamation, and his purpose was also to keep the basket.
And at this moment, Ding Mo'an has only one thought in his heart:
Smash all defenses!
Even if you jump up at high speed, you can hold the basketball high from the diagonal side and launch the final attack towards the mountain!
When Ding Mo An lifted the ball from the air like a glide, Mu Tombo also seized the opportunity and accurately aimed at the basketball held high in Ding Mo An's hand, and in the FedEx Arena, Memphis fans all exclaimed, if nothing else, Mu Tombo's hand will definitely touch the ball in Ding Mo An's hand.
However, at the moment when Mutombo's palm was about to touch the ball, the ball in Ding Mo'an's hand suddenly disappeared. Next, in the FedEx Arena, screaming decibels suddenly burst out. As Mutombo's palm slapped on the air, his surprised expression was revealed, and Ding Mo'an, who received the ball in the air, his body was like a fold, and he disappeared and appeared in the bottom corner of the rebound on the other side!
Fold up for the basket!
All Memphis people on the scene also remembered that they partnered with Ding Moan last season, and the two became the league's super backcourt together, and Rose who had left Memphis!
Could it be that Ding is using a folding layup to remember that he once fought side by side with Rose in this arena?
Dangfei league's top defensive player, Artest, folding layup, dodging blocks, Ding Mo'an's one-stop layup, Ding Mo'an's goal, will definitely be included in the top ten balls!
Ding Mo'an scored such a morale-boosting layup, and Rockets coach Adelman called a timeout and immediately switched to the starting lineup. In the next game, it became more and more anxious, with Yao Ming in his prime, the Rockets were fearless. Although after the Rockets started the lineup, Ding Moan used folding layups twice to avoid countless hands on the inside.
But such a breakthrough still scared Hollins. What a joke, although Hollins knows that Ding Moan's physical fitness is no less than that of the best black player. However, folding the basket, don't look at the folding for a while, the consumption of the body is very large. Hollins won't let Ding Moan make moves that would be dangerous to his career.
After all, Ding Mo'an is the cornerstone of the Grizzly Bears!
So he immediately changed the starting lineup and surrendered directly with the white flag, although there would be hope of winning, but Hollins did not need to use the building blocks of the team to overdraw his body because of a preseason victory. Even after Ding Mo'an got off the court, he didn't arrange tactics, and specifically told Ding Mo'an not to use more folding layups next time.
