Miami, the capital of rhapsody, today Miami Airport welcomed a special group of guests, tall and black and white complexions, dressed in casual T-shirts and tucked in headphones, squeezing their way through the crowd under the maintenance of security guards. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the visiting Saravo Emperors, the new season has started six games, the Saravo Emperors have won all six games, and won six consecutive games, which is the best start of the season for the Empires in the past ten years, this long-dormant team has finally caused people to discuss in the United States, and people want to know what the key to the victory of the Empires is.
The brightest stars of the Kings are not All-Star guard Carmen Gary, but two rookies who just joined the team this year.
Merris Arnold, who has all the potential of a super center, is tall and has long arms, and strong physical fitness like an alien, averaging 17 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks per game in six games, and is the patron saint of the Imperial team's restricted area.
Another rookie, Wang Weiyu, averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and has already secured the starting forward of the Imperial team.
At the start of the new season, the topic of discussion is often rookies, and this is true every season, whether it was last year or this year, the rookies have always played amazing games, and the same rookie that has been talked about is Simon Oliver of the Los Angeles Lakers. Known as the successor of Kant James, he is a once-in-a-decade talented forward, averaging 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the first six games, helping Los Angeles achieve a 4-2 record.
There's also an intriguing rookie named Somo Felder, who was drafted by the Firewaves with the third overall pick this year.
He is regarded as the second Toyne Davide, the same thin body, the same superb shooting skills, and he was focused on training by the Fire Waves, and averaged 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game.
There is such a contrast, which makes this game a focus battle, Somo VS Merris and Wang Weiyu.
"Somo, you're going to play the Kings at home next, how do you react to that?" A local reporter in Miami asked.
Somo's answer was more formulaic, "No matter who comes, we'll be ready to give them a nice meal of Miami hot dogs." "We all know that the rookie discussion is very hot today, as this year's hot rookie, how do you see yourself compared to W?" The reporter asked again.
"W is a very good defender, I'm a pure shooter and we're going to put on a good fight together," Somo said. In response to Yu Somo's statement that Wang Weiyu is a defender, fans on the Internet set off a heated debate, because the latter has shown excellent ball-handling ability, and it is obviously not enough to profile in the name of a defender, and Somo's supporters used Wang Weiyu's university highlights as evidence to refute it.
The same question was also put in front of Wang Weiyu, "W, Somo thinks you are an excellent defender, do you agree with this statement?" Wang Weiyu smiled: "I love defense, Somo said this, he must be ready to meet me, as for whether he is right or not, I want to give the answer on the court." "Are you a war letter for Somo?" The reporter secretly dug a pit for Wang Weiyu.
"No, that's my answer to you." After that, Wang Weiyu stopped the interview and entered the training hall to warm up.
Merris was in a hot sweat, "W, those nasty reporters are pestering you again?" "Please, Merris, that's not how works." Wang Weiyu was speechless at Merris's sudden hint of Chinese-English.
"Isn't just nonsense? What's wrong? Merris said with a lot of scrit. In short, the Chinese language is broad and profound, you should use Californian English, I am used to listening to it. Wang Weiyu said.
Merris laughed, "I'm going to say!" "I'm ashamed of the motherland..."Wang Weiyu covered her face, grabbed the ball and went to practice shooting.
Wang Weiyu dribbled the ball, took a step into the line, unloaded the force under his feet, slid back, withdrew from the three-point line, and shot with his hands open.
"Bang!" No, he was a little puzzled, "It's really difficult, how did that guy shoot so accurately?" "That guy?" Carmen thought of the man, "You mean Moy Cook?" "Hmm..." Wang Weiyu tried again, and the ball went in, but the process was very awkward.
Carmen admonished, "Moy's shooting is a gift from God, not something that the average person can learn." "Captain, you can't attribute hard work to God's gift, if you think like everything, you can't do everything." Wang Weiyu slapped the ball, "I never believe that only he can." ”
For Wang Weiyu, the only remaining joy of basketball is to find the flaws in the signature skills of the stars, and if you want to know the flaws, you have to understand them, touch them, and even learn them when necessary.
If you throw talent at a problem and give up, then the sport is too boring.
"You can't persuade him?" Pete looked at Carmen in surprise. Carmen spread her hands, "I gave him one sentence, and he gave me five sentences, and it sounded very reasonable." "Are the Chinese all so sharp-toothed?" That Yao Ming was also very able to say it back then. "Pete guess." Hell knows. Carmen muttered.
At night
In the players' tunnel, the players of the Imperial team wore their appearance uniforms, bouncing and cheering for each other, and finally it was Carmen who asked everyone to gather in a circle, "We trust each other, rely on each other, this game is very important to us, victory hangs in the sky of Miami, we can touch it when we jump, brothers, one, two, three!" ”
"Victory!" Pete jumped up and shouted, "Imperial team! ”
"Victory!!"
The coaches of both sides sent out their starters, and Herbert told Carmen, "Don't forget the previous arrangement, everything is played according to our routine, and this game can be won." "Yes, Coach." Carmen replied in the affirmative.
Merris has always won more and lost less when it comes to jumping balls, and today was no exception, with the ball falling into Carmen's arms.
Carmen gets the ball, raises his middle finger high, and gives a clear command. Wang Weiyu and Raglan staggered away, and Pete also tried to pull the position outside.
"Somo, long time no see." Wang Weiyu squeezed him. Somo replied lightly, "I heard that you've been playing well lately. "It's okay, and hopefully today is the same." Wang Weiyu stopped the physical confrontation. Somo snorted and said, "Today is definitely more than usual. "Then I can only wish you good luck." Wang Weiyu said and stuck his position.
On the court, the basketball went to Merris, who was playing against Quincy Williams. The starting center of the Firewaves, the most feared block machine in the Ultimate League at the moment, is currently averaging 5 blocks per game.
Defensively, that's a scary statistic that makes people feel awe of the Firewaves' penalty area, but it's not. Even with Quincy's block being so horrific, the rest of the league was still keen to attack the Firewaves' penalty area.
The reason for this is not only because Team Firewave only has one real basket protector, but also for some deeper reasons.
Undeterred, Merris slapped the ball hard with her big hand, and with the help of her strength, pushed back to Quincy, faced the basket, and dunked it.
"Bang!"
"Oh oh! Look at this young beast, he's imposing today! Miami's home commentator shouted in surprise. The dunk was also exciting enough, using pure power to push Quincy away, and then turn around and slam the dunk.
The Firewaves' white point guard dribbled, "Take your time, guys. "His name is De Niro Goldsmith, and he's a Slovenian.
"Give it to me!" Somo called out when he got to the location. De Niro opened his hand and passed, Somo took the ball and was about to attack, he was five or six centimeters taller than Wang Weiyu, and he had the air advantage, once he made a shot, the latter would not be able to stop him. "Think beautifully!" Wang Weiyu's chest pressed against his back, and his other hand reached out from time to time to pull out the ball.
"Somo, your confrontation is still bad." Wang Weiyu is rare and not afraid of opponents in confrontation.
Somo was very embarrassed and rushed to pass the ball. The ball fell into the hands of North Bedi, who was the totem of the Fire Waves and the representative of the 03 golden generation, injuries made him as capable as he was then, and his competitive genes and aggressive nature made him dare not underestimate him.
Poor Raglan, he was teased again, North's breakthrough at the peak of his peak was unstoppable, and now there are few people who can stop him from breaking through, and even if there is, it is not Raglan.
North used his fame stunt to score on a layup.
"Can he still use such steps?" Wang Weiyu was secretly surprised. Merris threw the ball out, "Captain, come to me, I'm in good shape now, hahaha......" Carmen smiled secretly, even if Merris didn't say he would give it to him, this was the head coach's pre-game arrangement, the first quarter of the main attack Merris.
"You can see that the Kings are very open, and it seems that they trust Merris's low post ability, and it is another pass, and Quincy has a lot of defensive pressure in this game." The narrator explained.
Merris was fierce and direct in the low post, not giving Quincy any chance to respond, violently impacting, turning to face the basket after getting enough space, jumping up and dunking, the ball flew away, but caused Miami fans to exclaim, because Merris pressed Quincy to grab the rebound, and then relied on him to score with the basket.
"Shout louder, Miami!" Merris yelled as she hopped. Received boos from the audience, and he enjoyed the moment immensely.
Wang Weiyu slapped his buttocks, "What are you proud of?" It's only 4 points, and when you get 30 points, you can be as presumptuous as you want. "What did you say?" Merris yelled, "Do you think I can't score 30 points under that guy's defense?" Wang Weiyu said as he ran: "Not necessarily." "I'll prove it to you!" Merris jumped to her feet in anger.
Unfortunately, this conversation was also overheard by Quincy, what did that rookie say? Take 30 points on my head? What is he kidding?
De Niro's body shows the characteristics of European point guards everywhere, steady and delicate, his passing is not a casual transmission, but a conscious guidance, one pass is enough to disrupt the defense of the Imperial team, and let the second pass appear directly into the opportunity.
The second pass was executed by Somo, and Quincy stepped forward to block it, and when he met Merris's help in the defense, he just threw the ball into the air and a wonderful empty catch was formed.
"Wonderful air relay, Quincy Williams scores!" The narrator exclaimed passionately.
The Emperor then launched a blitzkrieg, and Carmen made a long pass to Wang Weiyu, who threw the ball into the sky, "God! What a quick attack! Merris flies! ”
Merris took the buckle in empty, turned back and pointed at Wang Weiyu, signaled the ball, and glared at Quincy by the way.
"The Kings' scoring is all handled by that rookie at the moment, their intentions..."Stowe, the head coach of the Fire Waves, understood after thinking for a while, "they want to ......"
At this time, the offense and defense just rotated, the fire wave team couldn't attack, the rebound was controlled by the emperor team, the positional battle, it was Merris who took the ball to attack in the low position, he used all his strength, and he just pushed Quincy far away, like the demon king in the penalty area, turned indifferently, and wanted to split the dunk. Quincy roared, waving her long arm to stop.
The referee's whistle blew, and Merris slammed the long arm into the dunk.
Merris glared at Quincy, roared, and stepped to the free throw line.
"The Kings' Merris went on a rampage~~" Miami's home commentator said helplessly.
