Chapter 171: Split Camp
Maddie quickly stepped on the pace, quickly slapped the basketball in his hand, and while controlling the rhythm of the dribble, he half-turned and leaned sideways against Ding Mo'an, and then lifted the ball into the air, and the whole person stepped on the rhythm and stabbed to the right area.
When he held the ball and leaned forward, Ding Mo'an also shifted his focus. One hand went out at great speed, and the center of gravity moved slightly to the right half of the body. This is the best defensive response that Ding Mo'an can make. Although Maddy's outside dry shooting is more frequent, Maddy's breakthrough cannot be ignored. The more you get to the last moment, the opponent will often make a surprise move.
Ding Moan is well aware of the crucial nature of this ball to the outcome of the game, so he must not let Maddy score this goal, otherwise it will completely push the Grizzlies into the abyss. Think of the inexperienced Grizzlies who go to play the last game against the Rockets, and there is a huge chance that they will fall to a bunch of veteran players.
And Ding Moan didn't want to be a hero or a savior, but that doesn't mean he would put water on the defensive end to let Maddie score this goal. The reason why there are heroes and saviors is because there is no other choice,
Now that there is a chance to prevent the Grizzlies from falling into a desperate situation, Ding Moan certainly doesn't want the team to rely on the so-called hero or savior to save the team in the end.
So in Ding Mo's peace of mind, defend against Maddie's last attack, then you are a hero! A hero to the Grizzlies and a savior for hundreds of thousands of people across Memphis!
Maddy's speed was not as fast as Dingmoan's, and he half-turned and broke through to the free throw line with the ball and came to an abrupt halt. Then Maddie quickly tried to walk, then retreated, dribbling quickly in her hand, trying to repeat the trick. However, Ding Moan's defense also made Maddy find that Ding Moan's defense was more targeted to his defense.
Even if he suddenly retreated at this moment, Ding Mo'an still firmly covered him and locked him up. As in the last round, it was impossible to get rid of Ding Mo'an's defense with continuous shaking. Of course, Maddie was just a test, he didn't think that Ding Mo'an would let himself succeed in his old tricks, otherwise his rating of Ding Mo's peace of mind would also be lowered.
The biggest difference between geniuses and ordinary people is that after ordinary people fall once, they only know that it hurts to fall, and then continue to fall in the future. But geniuses are different, and the reason why they never fall twice in the same place is because geniuses who have fallen once tend to learn their lessons and thus avoid the place.
Ding Mo'an belongs to the category of geniuses, so after suffering losses, Ding Mo'an will definitely not forget the pain, and now the defense against Maddy is to avoid. The same time passed in Maddy's successive tentatives, and the Rockets' offensive time came to the last ten seconds.
At the last moment, Maddie would not let the ball rot in his hands, let alone allow Ding Moan to successfully defend himself for 24 seconds. If he was really guarded, Maddie himself would be embarrassed to stay in the ranks of the league's superstars.
It's a shame to be prevented by a rookie for a 24-second violation.
At this time, Maddie, who slowly withdrew to the outside line, was surrounded by Ding Mo'an's long arms and once again showed her individual talent. The crotch changes hands to dribble, and the high-frequency and low-dribble swings back and forth, showing the offensive form.
Ding Mo'an also sensed the dangerous aura, and even if he was close enough at this time to even feel Maddie's exhalation, he still continued to lean in. At the same time, keep an eye on Maddie's dribble trajectory, looking for opportunities to break the ball. Suddenly, however, Maddie took a step forward on the dribble, arching her left arm at a right angle and slamming forward with the impact!
Boom!
Although Ding Mo'an's physical confrontation has improved, he will inevitably be knocked away by half a step away in the face of impact and small elbow blows. At this time, there was no need for Ding Mo'an to think about it, he knew that Maddie was going to make a move.
Sure enough, Maddie slammed forward and then quickly retreated, and at the moment of regression, the soles of his feet had left the ground, and his arms were raised like longbows, and he entered the firing state. Unlike the previous pull-up jumpers, Maddie stepped back to shoot, which made everyone cry out in surprise:
When did Maddie let a rookie defend himself with a step-back step to open up space and shoot?
No wonder these people are surprised, fans who are familiar with Maddy know that Maddie's pull-up jumper is never afraid to let go of interference. No matter how close you are, I will vote if I want to, and I will never be cowardly.
It's just that this time Maddie actually coaxed, and it's hard not to be surprised.
It can be said that Maddie had no choice but to retreat after using this move, although there were injury factors, but more of it was forced by Ding Mo'an. Because even the inexplicable Maddie faced Ding Mo'an's death entanglement, and she had to weigh a few points in her heart. And as Ding Mo'an's defense just now got closer and closer, it also made Maddy give up his plan to pull out the jump shot, which was too risky, and he would be pressed down by Ding Mo'an with the ball if he couldn't make a shot.
Maddie, who has eaten Ding Mo'an's hot pot, doesn't know Ding Mo'an's bounce too clearly, and the height of her jump is enough to compete with many "jumping men" in the alliance. So Maddy admitted to himself and could only use step-back steps to open up the distance to win a shooting opportunity. After all, history is written by the victors.
When the ball goes in, who will pay attention to the trivial matter that he is guarded by Ding Mo'an, a rookie rookie, and he doesn't even dare to use it?
However, at this time, Ding Mo'an, who let Maddy shoot with a step-back shot, slammed it away, did not give up the defense. If Maddie used dry pulling, then Ding Moan might have to despair, but stepping back to shoot the basket will take much longer than dry pulling!
You still have a chance to save yourself!
Although in the eyes of many people, it is just one more second, but in Ding Mo'an's opinion, it is this second that really determines the success or failure of this defense! At this moment, no matter what, I will not give up!
The right foot suddenly stepped out quickly, and in an instant, a pair of long legs rushed in front of Maddie. At this time, Maddie's shooting hands have also reached the highest point. Maddie also saw Ding Mo'an rushing up, not to mention the surprise on his face, Ding Mo'an's speed and defensive awareness were once again vividly displayed.
If you were someone else, it is estimated that you were still in a daze at this time where Ding Mo'an was knocked away. But when Ding Mo'an was knocked away, he immediately reflexively rushed over, which can only be described as a demon.
However, Maddie's movements did not stagnate, although he knew that Ding Mo'an, who rushed in front of him, could pose a threat to himself, but stopping the shooting action at this time was undoubtedly stupid, no different from suicide.
So it's up to you to see who emerges victorious in this conversation!
Maddie once again faced Ding Moan's defense, and his fingers flicked the ball out. At this time, Ding Mo'an had also jumped up in front of him. At this time, the basketball had already flown out quickly, rising to the highest point quickly, and it seemed that it was about to jump over Ding Mo'an and point directly at the basket.
At this time, no one in the Toyota Center Arena could sit down and watch the game, even the other players on the court were looking back at Ding Mo'an and Maddie, as well as the basketball flying in the air.
It's the key ball!
I'm a life-and-death duel!
There is only one winner in this showdown, so why not me?!
Ding Mo An has already jumped, and the ball thrown by the same Maddie has begun to go over his head, but Ding Mo Man has not given up, the word renunciation has never appeared in his dictionary!
No matter what the bumps in the road to chasing his dreams or what, Ding Mo'an was able to realize his childhood dream with the belief that he would never give up in his heart, so what he has to do now is to win!
Stretching his long arms as hard as he could, he spread his five fingers and fanned the basketball fan. At this moment, there is only one winner standing on the field, and it is yourself!
Syllable!
A crisp explosion resounded throughout the entire Toyota Center Arena. Ding Mo'an's big palm slapped the basketball like hitting a volleyball, and then this huge force changed its course and slapped it out of the court.
At the same time, this explosion shattered the hearts of Rockets fans at the Toyota Center, forcing them to accept the cruel reality that Maddie, the star of the guard, gave a rookie a hat!
But then came the referee's whistle signaling that the 24-second offensive time was up, and the Rockets' last offense was over, and what they had to do was to hope that the Grizzlies would not attack later!
The reversal of the situation also detonated the earth-shattering shouts of Memphis fans in front of the TV! With his own Memphis son Big Hat League super guard Maddie, the balance of victory is tilted in favor of the Grizzlies!
In other words, the Grizzlies have a chance to defeat the top teams in the West in the season opener and have the strength to win the championship! What a fantastic night it was, and it was unbelievable for the Grizzlies, who were once on the belly of the team, and for the Grizzlies fans who were worried about the devastation of the Grizzlies by NBA teams!
But it really happened. What made this happen is the pride of Memphis, Ding Moan, who won the city's first championship for Memphis and is the hero of Memphis. Even though it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, all the citizens of Memphis actually shouted Ding Mo'an's name, which resounded throughout Memphis!
However, compared to the heartfelt joy of Memphis fans, domestic fans are divided into three camps at this time. Grizzlies vs. Rockets vs. Neutral. No way, before Ding Mo'an joined the Grizzlies, it can be said for sure that 99% of the fans in China are supporters of the Red Rockets and Yao Mai combination.
However, Ding Mo'an suddenly rose to strength, overwhelming many geniuses on the other side of the ocean, and also achieved such a brilliant performance in this Chinese derby, which made the original rocket camp also face a split.
And with the addition of Ding Moan's big hat Maddie, this split situation has come to a peak. Today, at least a third of former Rockets fans are on the Grizzlies' side because of Ding Moan's blind performance and the Grizzlies' win.
The remaining two-thirds of domestic fans did not immediately give up their position only because of Yao Ming. However, the hearts of these fans were also shaken. Can you not waver, assuming that the country has the strength to compete with foreign stars, will you choose to support your compatriots or foreign stars, do you still need to ask?
Just when domestic fans were entangled, when Milicic, who showed his shining point, sent a precise long pass to Ding Mo'an in the last round, and stood on the bottom line to serve again, the air of murder was pervasive. At the last moment, Hollins didn't call a timeout, there was no need. Because with Ding Mo'an's big hat, when the balance of the game was tilted in favor of the Grizzlies, the morale of the Grizzlies on the court also reached its peak.
Everyone knows that as long as the Grizzlies score this offense, then the winner of this game will be officially revealed. Hollins chose to trust the players on the field, and of course, Ding Moan as the leader of the team.
However, Adelman desperately wanted to call a timeout at this time, but all the timeouts in his hands were used. So I had to rely on shouting from the sidelines to remind the players what to do.
After all, the bad premonition in his heart still happened. watched the Rockets lead by 18 points and came to a realm where there was no way back. In fact, at this moment, Rocket fans are ready to throw the pot on his head.
can play this good deck of cards in his hand like this, and finally let the Grizzlies, a perennial bottom team that can't even make the playoffs, and the Rockets, who are all first-class teams in the league, reduced to the point that they can only rely on defense in the future, and maybe they can drag the game into overtime. This has made many Rockets fans more and more dissatisfied with Adelman's opinion.
If Adelman knew what these fans were thinking, he would probably cry: This is really not my pot! Hell knows, the grizzly bear has such a good life and has gotten such a ridiculously strong rookie!
And when Milicic served, the Rockets didn't press in frontcourt. In the last round, the Grizzlies relied on their frontcourt pressing, found loopholes, and let Ding Moan score easily, and the alarm bell had already sounded. At this time, of course, it is even more impossible to try risky tactics.
This also allowed Kyle. Lowry easily won the ball and came to half-court. In the backcourt of the Rockets, there was a mess at this time. Ding Mo'an had no intention of going out to catch the ball and break through. Mainly because the Rockets' defense of the interior has reached a terrifying situation. Scola and Artest have already built a regional joint defense of a triangular defense zone in the interior paint area. Killing the inside line is equivalent to suicide.
And because Milicic took the initiative to entangle, the Rockets couldn't help but weaken their defensive strength. The original luxury lineup of two defensive experts is only Sean. Battier alone.
But Kyle. Lowry faces an even bigger challenge at this time. Now the Rockets' lineup, in order to strengthen the defense, Adelman even put the point guard on the bench, and in the final time, it was all Maddy who played the point guard."
So Kyle. Lori meets up with her bitter master, Maddie, again. But this time, Maddie's face was full of darkness, and she didn't even smile. In the duel with Ding Mo'an just now, not to mention the defeat, he also received a volleyball cap from Ding Mo'an. When the basketball was slapped out of the court by Ding Mo'an, Maddie felt as if her face was swollen like the basketball that was fanned.
Now that the team is at risk of being killed again, Maddie will be hell if he can laugh out loud. Hence the angry Maddie who treats Kyle. Lowry, but the anger is tilted on him.
Kyle. Lowry can only use his tonnage to carry it against Maddie, a tough opponent who once debuted as a defensive blue-collar and eventually became a superstar.
Anyway, Kyle. Lowry was desperate and couldn't let Maddie touch the basketball in his hand, even once. If he loses the game because of him, then after this game, he doesn't have to think about it, and he will definitely let head coach Hollins beat him to the cold and even be traded.
And it's with Kyle. Lowry's desperate ball protection also gave Ding Mo'an and Sean who defended himself. Battier tangled in the crowd, looking for time for a chance.
However, in the entanglement, the Grizzly Bear's strange lineup gave Ding Mo'an a big surprise. The reason is that there are three tall men in the lineup who are more than two meters tall!
