Chapter 41: The Legendary "Golden Rooster Independence"
"Haha, you'd better be optimistic about the present, we'll blow you up before they play!" Old husband Vince Carter talks about teenage madness and chases Curry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He knew that Curry's shot was extremely fast, and if he wasn't careful, he would shake himself off and throw the ball out of the way if he wasn't careful. It's just that his strong shooting efficiency is still very high, and Vince Carter is no longer young, and this kind of ball is also very difficult for him to defend.
Just when Vince Carter was thinking about defensive countermeasures while retreating, Thompson and Curry passed the ball to each other, and suddenly, Curry made a sudden stop outside the three-point line. At this time, the Mavericks' defenders couldn't control the castration and all shrank inside, leaving a lot of space outside the three-point line, and Klay's ball passed just right. Curry even had time to click the ball and adjust his tempo. Then, the knife fell, and the basketball spun through the net.
"Stephen Curry! Three-pointer scored! The Mavericks' home commentator said helplessly.
The Warriors' bench was like a group of mentally retarded children in an instant, spinning and jumping, and I closed my eyes.
"Yes! Stephen, Clay, you're better than your father! As someone who also played against Curry Sr., Nowitzki also sighed. At the same time, don't look at Klay Thompson's usual low-key personality and few words, he is actually a real second-generation star, his father Thompson Sr., even better than Curry's father, he was the top pick in the 1978 NBA draft. The Lakers won back-to-back championships in 1987 and 1988. Like the Curry family, the Thompsons are almost all athletes.
"But it's time for you to get a glimpse of real basketball!" As he spoke, Carter hoisted the ball to Nowitzki.
"I'm coming!" The Warriors' interior defensive giant, Bogut, immediately stepped up.
"Hehe, it's the same for everyone!" I saw Lao Nuo Tianwang, taking the ball and leaning lightly against Bogut, it seemed that he only borrowed the force lightly, and then did not move on one leg, quickly turned around and jumped on one foot very smoothly. At the same time, the body leans back, the ball is shot very high, and with a light shot, the ball enters the net very smoothly, as if the moment the ball is shot, it is already doomed. The moment the ball entered the Nets, the audience instantly boiled, and Nowitzki's step-back jumper, as if a player had completed a violent dunk, could drive the atmosphere of the Mavericks' home court.
This is the German tank, Dirk Nowitzki's famous stunt, which fans nicknamed the "Golden Rooster Independence" turnaround and backward jumper.
Because of this stunt, he has even been described by many superstars such as Kobe Bryant as the most difficult person in the league to defend.
"Wow, Duan, do you see?! Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Independence, how's that, do you have the confidence to defend this ball?! Green yelled there.
"I don't know." Duan Tianqing said thoughtfully.
Nowitzki's stunt is called the most difficult shot to defend for a reason. Nowitzki's shot wasn't like Curry's, Klay's quick shots that made defenders unable to react. He wasn't very fast, but he had a good pace and good timing.
Because he is usually defended by an interior player, he turns and leans back with nimble footwork, and at this time the less athletic players can no longer keep up. I could only watch Nowitzki throw the ball in. Players with good athletic ability can only seal upwards, because if they pounce forward, they will infringe on Nowitzki's shooting cylinder, and they will not be able to run away if they are whistled for a foul!
And Dirk Nowitzki himself is two meters and a little more than ten meters tall, and no one can block his shots at the opportunity. Coupled with his strong core, the ability to control his body in mid-air, and his steady shooting, excellent shooting ability, his step-back jumper is an epic and difficult to defend move, and it is a very important weapon for the Mavericks.
Although he said that he didn't know, Duan Tianqing felt in his heart that he might really be a little difficult to guard against Nowitzki's move.
Because there is a key reason that compared to Nowitzki, Duan Tianqing is too short! Only 1.88 meters.
Nowitzki's fallback, even if he judged it to be off, there is a good chance that he will be whistled for a foul. Therefore, Duan Tianqing felt that defending Nowitzki could not give him this kind of opportunity, because once this backward action was made, it meant that you didn't dare to pounce at all, and you could only pray that he didn't feel good today.
Of course, there's also the possibility of finding a guy with a super bounce and covering the ball before the basketball reaches its highest point, but obviously this is more unrealistic.
"Hey, boys, I can still fight!" Nowitzki hammered his chest and roared.
At the same time, the momentum of the entire Mavericks team was also boosted, and in the next offensive round, Harrison Barnes made an accidental mistake, and the ball was directly pulled down by the quick-eyed Vince Carter. The swift dribble broke through the half, at which point the Warriors' half was empty, with only Barnes chasing after him.
"Roar!!" Vince Carter roared, jumping up and down with both hands. Harrison Barnes, who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, doesn't want to give up, and he doesn't believe in evil and jumps to defend the ball.
"Shhh Plus a penalty kick! ”
The free throw was solidly hit, and by this time the score had reached 25-16, the Mavericks were ahead, and the margin was about to expand to double digits.
"Shhhh Matt Jackson saw that the momentum was not right and immediately asked for a timeout.
"Hey guys, don't go to their rhythm and play our own balls! Reduce unnecessary mistakes, we don't have so many opportunities to waste! They're better than us, so we know each other?! Defend well, you can do it! Matt Jackson said with a seeming seriousness, but there was no actual tactical component.
"Hey, can you say something useful? I know that come on, but also defend, who doesn't know defense, the key is how to defend you? Marking people, joint defense or cover for defense? You didn't teach us what the rhythm was, if you played the bombardment system of Coach Nelson Sr., what would you do with Bogut? Do we have a defensive rhythm? Cut! "Needless to say, there is only one person in the team who dares to talk to the coach like this, Duan Tianqing. However, this statement still makes a lot of sense, and many players of the Warriors nodded unconsciously. Although they don't say it, they are very dissatisfied with this coach who doesn't understand tactics.
"You, do you have a part to say here?! Honestly sit on the bench! Or go back to the locker room! Jackson was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and couldn't help but roar.
Little did he know that the scene had been captured by a camera on the sidelines.
