Chapter 73: Air Connection
In the second quarter, Adelman did not let Wu Di go off the court, and he could see that Wu Di's physical strength was still sufficient. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He didn't want to use Wu Di, but Maddie was injured, except for Wu Di, he couldn't support the Rockets' outside offense, and Alston, who averaged nearly 20 points per game, couldn't do it.
This is Adelman's first year at the helm of the Rockets, and Yao Mai has been together for several years, but he still hasn't touched the floor of the West.
He really wants to lead the Rockets to a championship, and now he can't release Wu Di.
In the second quarter, the Rockets used a bench lineup, Uncle Mu, Landry, Wu Di, Rutherhead, and Brooks. Although the ball should be in Brooks' hands, Adelman still said before going on the court: "Wu, I need you to play point forward."
Wu Di also had some surprises, but he did not refuse. This is his chance, and as long as this game is mastered, he is not afraid that Adelman will not let him play.
After getting on the court, the Rockets possessed the ball, and Brooks took the ball to the front court and reluctantly passed the ball to Wu Di. After Wu Di received the ball, he faced Bowen directly.
Bowen's thin figure was like a bamboo pole in front of Wu Di. Wu Di squeezed lightly and squeezed past him. Duncan came up and tried to stop Wu Di, but let Landry go. Wu Di immediately passed the ball, and Landry received the ball and hit the shot.
Wu Di's breakthrough was too damaging to the Spurs, and Bowen had to make those small moves of his own. But Wu Di didn't care at all, it was mainly related to the fact that he had the characteristics of Zhou Cang's ribs and ribs.
As the name suggests, the rib tendon has two ribs like a wooden board and tendons that bulge like a dragon. How can you have ribs? It is because the muscles between the two ribs are very well developed and fill the gap between the ribs to form a plate. How can you form a tendon? It is the muscles of the whole body that can bulge the tendons.
When the muscles are tense, they can block bullets. The muscles of the ribs and tendons are all out of a tense state, and if you want to go up and pinch it, you can't pinch it at all.
There are also people who want to say that it is not easy to get injured when you are in a tense state all the time. This is only relative to other people, relative to the rib tendons, this state is the relaxed state, because the muscles are too developed, and when relaxed, there are also some muscles that are in a tense state to defend against external attacks. As the movements continue to change, the tense muscles will constantly switch between each other.
Bowen grabbed a handful on Wu Di's waist with his hand, but he felt that his hand was slipping, and this handful was pinched empty. This is a mistake that is difficult to see when he performs small movements, and it is understandable that he did not catch the mistake, but he made a mistake when he caught it, which is a little wrong.
Bowen couldn't figure it out, and Wu Di didn't have time for him to figure it out, so he directly squeezed him away and rushed into the inside line again. Duncan had no choice but to make up for it again, if he didn't make up for it, Wu Di would definitely rush in and it would be a blast. Wu Di's next pass, but this time it was hanging from Duncan's head, because Landry was already rushing to the basket behind Duncan.
Landry jumps up, catches the ball in the air, and smashes the ball into the basket with a slight adjustment.
Empty connection! It's the coolest way to score in basketball, and every empty catch will attract fans. Wu Di and his teammates also had a lot of contact, but they didn't expect to use it today.
Most of the Rockets' players are floor streamers, and Da Yao, Hayes, Scola and other interior players don't have excellent jumping. On the contrary, the outside line Maddie, Alstom, Wu Di, Hyde, Brooks and others all have excellent bounce.
However, Alston, Hyde and Brooks are too short to dunk in the middle of the game. So they're more focused on shooting threes from the outside.
Two minutes later, Wu Di assisted Landry again for an open pick. So the Rockets seemed to be addicted to empty connections, and Brooks missed a shot and shot a three-no-stick. But Wu Di, who had already run to the basket, immediately jumped up to catch the basketball, and a big windmill smashed the ball into the basket.
"Wonderful Biography!" When Wu Di and Brooks clapped their hands in celebration, they gave Brooks a compliment by the way. This compliment made Brooks a little embarrassed, he knew it was a mistake just after taking the ball, and Wu Di saved the ball, not only helping him save a missed shot, but also adding an assist to him.
Brooks secretly complained that Wu Di had robbed him of the ball before, and he was embarrassed to complain anymore at this time. He said to Wu Di: "Next ball, let's have another one!"
Wu Di looked at him, "Of course, we have to let the Spurs know that rockets can fly!" ”
On the next shot, Brooks broke through Vaughn, who came off the bench, and drew the rest of the defense. Wu Di immediately cut to the basket, Brooks immediately hoisted the ball, Wu Di grabbed the basketball in the air, turned around and pressed the ball into the basket behind his head.
It's an empty connection again!
Spurs were a little helpless, and as soon as the starting lineup was off the field, the bench collapsed. The Rockets are no longer blowing up the Spurs, this empty one after another, is simply humiliating the Spurs.
Popovich called a timeout and called Ginobili, the only player on the court, to his side, "To get in, I know that the Rockets 6 have a strong defense." But you still have to get in and make him foul, he's just a rookie, we have an advantage, we have to beat him down! ”
Popovich didn't say it explicitly, but Ginobili still knew what the advantages Popovich was talking about. This is the home of Spurs, and the referees will lean towards Spurs more. And Ginobili is a star who has been famous for a long time, Wu Di is just a rookie, although there will not be many star whistles, but there will still be them. The advantages of these two aspects are accumulated, and as long as they are used properly, Wu Di can be defeated.
Wu Di was happily talking with his teammates about how enjoyable the air connection just now was. Today is the happiest day he has played since joining the NBA, and it is also the day he has dunked the most.
Wu Di has begun to look forward to what kind of data he can obtain after becoming a starter. Physically, he is the best in the NBA, and in terms of technique, although he still needs to learn, his style of play is gorgeous, gorgeous enough to complete all kinds of dunk moves.
At the urging of the referee, the game began again. Ginobili began to attack with the ball, and Wu Di, as the best defender on the field, Ginobili was basically defended by him.
Ginobili swayed left and right, but he couldn't shake Wu Di away, but was gently squeezed by Wu Di, and the ball fell. Wu Di grabbed the ball, ran quickly to the frontcourt, and ended the offense with a dunk.
But back in the day, Ginobili still attacked with the ball. This made Wu Di wonder a little, his breakthrough was not enough to get a bargain from himself, why did he keep attacking with the ball again and again?
Wu Di was slightly distracted in his eyes, and he was seized by Ginobili. rushed past Wu Di in one step, Wu Di immediately woke up and immediately followed. He reached out to block Ginobili's layup as Ginobili made a layup. But Ginobili still stiffened and threw his whole body in the air, leaning his back against Wu Di.
"Drip—"
