Chapter Ninety-Six: Two Against Two!
Xie Chen, Wade, and Ross all looked at Gasol, who had always been silent, what did Gasol mean by this? What do you mean yet? Does it mean that Rose hasn't lost tonight? But he had already lost to Xie Chen, even if there was only one goal difference.
The three of them looked at Gasol in disbelief, and Gasol smiled mysteriously: "D-WADE, can I borrow your two more pairs of basketball shoes?" There may be a pair that is a little bigger. ”
Only then did Wade understand what kind of medicine was sold in Gasol's gourd, and he wanted two against two!
Although he thought of this, Wade still couldn't believe it, because Gasol was not the kind of person who took the initiative to choose to fight, so he looked at Gasol with a confused face: "You are ......"
Gasol laughed and said, "We are also basketball players, what's the point of watching them play all the time?" I didn't have enough of it in the arena just now, so let's have a two-on-two, right? ”
Really! Gasol really wants to play two-on-two! Obviously, Gasol is trying to help his teammate Rose get back face, he doesn't want Rose to leave this villa with the shadow of failure, Rose is the core of the Bulls, his love affects the whole team, everyone values confidence as very important, so Coach Kerr chose to wrap up the fledgling Xie Chen for Curry.
But Gasol's challenge is too much, because Gasol and Wade are players in different positions, he is much taller than Wade, and playing two-on-two is obviously Xie Chen and Wade suffer more!
Perhaps aware of this, Gasol added: "Of course, you can choose to say no. After all, this lineup is not very fair to you. ”
"No, of course I'm up for the challenge." Wade, as the owner of this villa and the leader of the Heat, of course would not be afraid to accept the challenge, so Wade called his son Zaire, who had been watching the game from a distance, and told the other party to bring a pair of his own sneakers and a pair of size 53 sneakers.
Wade and Gasol were quickly ready, and Zaire also stood on the sidelines and refused to leave, cheering for Wade and Xie Chen: "Dad, Uncle Xie, come on!" You're going to win! ”
Xie Chen touched Zaire's head, and he also liked this kid very much, it is worth mentioning that this slightly thin little guy is also extremely talented in basketball, very skilled in dribbling, and extremely good at playing, it can be expected that one day in the future, he may really take over his father's class and shine in the NBA.
At this time, Gasol also walked up to Zaire and touched Zaire's head, but fortunately Zaire did not fight back like Chris Paul...... Gasol squatted down with his mobile phone and said: "Kid, give you a task, I have set a 5-minute countdown, every time an attack is over, or out of bounds, or the 24-second attack time is up, you press a pause, by the way, help us remember the score, can you do it?" ”
"I can!" The son of the Li-Ning contracted player proudly said the advertising slogan of Peak, and then snatched the mobile phone in his hand and carefully protected it.
Gasol stood up and said to the three of them: "Let's play for five minutes, the rules and the score are calculated in the same way as in the official game, and D-WADE's son will be the referee, how about it?" ”
"I'm fine."
"I'm fine."
Xie Chen and Rose said.
Wade glanced at his son with a loving look on his face, and then said, "Come on! ”
The three-point shots of both sides determine the ball of the first offense, and the Bulls duo sent Rose here, but unfortunately Rose didn't shoot, and the Heat duo Xie Chen, the three-point king, was the best and shot a three-pointer steadily, Xie Chen and Wade attacked first.
"Let's go!" With a wave of his small arm, Zaire also began the five-minute countdown, silently calculating the 24-second offensive time.
Xie Chen held the ball to face Rose's defense, Wade and Gasol were entangled together, seeing the huge height difference between Wade and Gasol, Xie Chen broke out in a cold sweat, Gasol is two meters one and three, Wade is one meter ninety-three, there is so much difference, how to play? How to prevent it? I'm the same height as Wade, so I can't help much.
"Looks like I'm going to have to rely on this showdown." Xie Chen accelerated through Rose and entered the penalty area, but it was different from the previous one-on-one situation, at this time there was Gasol under the basket to make up the defense, Xie Chen was interfered by Gasol in the air, and then passed the ball to Wade, without waiting for Wade to make a move, Rose stepped forward to make up for the defense, and did not give Wade a chance to make an empty jumper, and then, Gasol was misplaced to prevent Xie Chen, after Xie Chen received the ball, he couldn't use a backward jumper, so he had to break through Gasol, who was slower than himself, and Rose also had a strong sense of supplementation, Xie Chen still had no chance, and once again gave the ball to Wade, Wade wanted to make a small throw, but Gasol directly blocked it, and Ross flew over like a wind and grabbed the ball.
As soon as he got out of the three-point line, he threw the ball directly to Gasol, who was down and down, and Gasol faced Wade, who had a height difference, and jumped up without saying a word.
There's no way, there's too much difference in height, and such a ball can't be defended at all.
The first ball made Zaire's palms sweaty, and he quickly pressed the pause button.
The Heat duo attacked again, Xie Chen thought to himself that since the other party played the wrong position, then he also played the wrong position, Wade pulled away and stood on the outside, Gasol had to worry about Xie Chen breaking through the basket, and did not dare to stick to Wade too close, Xie Chen passed the ball to Wade, Wade faced Gasol, who was two meters away from him, and jumped up to shoot.
Zaire stared blankly at the basketball thrown by his father, and with a clang, the ball bounced out.
"The rebound is mine!" Xie Chen and Rose fought for rebounds, but they didn't grab Rose!
After Rose grabbed the rebound, his confidence regained a lot, he thought that the bounce and strength of the two were about the same, and who might not be able to grab the ball, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to be far less brave than when he went to the basket.
"Damn......" Xie Chen is also very unhappy, rebounding is not his strong point, because he has not copied any rebounding skills, his bounce and power are very strong, but that is when he is on the layup, and he can't use the layup skill when grabbing rebounds, so it is impossible to grab Rose with his own bounce and explosiveness.
After Rose grabbed the ball, he quickly walked out of the three-point line, this time in order to prevent him from passing the ball quickly to Gasol who hit the basket, Xie Chen did not follow, who knows, Rose took the opportunity to throw a three-pointer!
The ball is in!
Zaire reluctantly pressed the pause button.
was beaten 5:0 at the beginning, and Xie Chen and Wade were a little helpless.
This time, Wade attacked with the ball, Xie Chen walked to the bottom corner to open up space for Wade, and Gasol's defense was still more inclined to protect the basket, so Wade shot very decisively this time, dribbled forward, got up and jumped, and finally hit the shot.
"Good shot! Father! Zaire cheered excitedly.
Switching to the Bulls duo attack, Rose did not rush to attack after receiving the ball, but looked at Xie Chen with a smile and said, "Do you really think you will catch up with the score?" ”
Rose smiled and threw a three-pointer right away!
"Shoot three points against my defense! How could he be so confident? Xie Chen was startled, quickly and hurriedly stretched out his hand to interfere, and then, looking back at the basket, the basketball did not go into the basket and into the net, but bounced out on the rebound, only to see that under the basket, Gasol easily took off the rebound above Wade's head, and then immediately dunked.
Only then did Xie Chen know that Rose was not confident in his three-point shooting, but in Gasol's rebounding! Rose's style of play, he really doesn't take Xie Chen and Wade in his eyes, it's too bullying!
If Gasol's loophole is not solved, Xie Chen and Wade will not be able to win this matchup, so the next time they attack, when Rose does it again, Xie Chen rushed over to grab the rebound as soon as possible, but unfortunately it was still in Gasol's hands, but due to Xie Chen and Wade's bag defense, Gasol couldn't easily make a layup this time, but Rose outside was empty, Gasol passed the ball to Rose, and Rose made a mid-range jumper.
After two minutes of play, Gasol and Rose already had a 10-point lead.
Gasol's defense against Wade is to prevent breakouts and not to shoot, but unfortunately, Wade's outside line is not accurate, and he does not have Xie Chen's terrifying three-point ability, and the Bulls duo obviously will not send Gasol to defend Xie Chen like this, otherwise, they are the ones who are leading now.
"D-WADE, we don't have rebounds anyway, so let's take a gamble." Xie Chen took advantage of the pause and said to Wade with a basketball.
Wade understood what Xie Chen meant and nodded.
In the next attack, when Xie Chen held the ball, Wade stepped forward to block and dismantle, bypassed Wade to get rid of Rose's defense, and while Gasol did not come forward to interfere, Xie Chen directly threw a three-point shot.
Bang, hollow into the net!
"Good shot!" After Zaire pressed the pause button, he cheered excitedly, thinking in his heart that he would work hard to achieve three points and strive to become a marksman like Xie Chen in the future.
"Want to catch up with a three-pointer? Unless you can pitch it every time! Gasol smiled, not at all worried about the other party's gambling tactics, as long as they couldn't prevent their attacks, Gasol and Rose would definitely win.
In terms of defense, Xie Chen and Wade also made adjustments, anyway, whoever defends Gasol is small and big, and they can't defend it, so it is better for Xie Chen, who has worse defense, to defend Gasol, which is called inferior horses against superior horses, and with Wade's excellent defense, it can better limit Rose's offense.
Rose saw that Wade was defending himself, and he didn't reluctantly attack, and he didn't have the strength to compete one-on-one with Wade at this time, and was about to pass the ball to Gasol, but found that Xie Chen did not defend Gasol closely! Defending around the front? But that's too far ahead, right? This is obviously waiting for a steal!
"This guy, it's either gambling to shoot, or gambling to defend ......" Rose smiled and threw the ball high, this arc was so high that it was impossible to reach even if Xie Chen jumped with all his strength, and then, the ball slowly fell into Gasol's hands.
However, although this way of passing avoided being stolen by Xie Chen, it also increased the time of passing, which gave Wade the opportunity to step forward and wrap up, when Gasol received the ball, Wade had already come over to wrap the ball, Gasol hurriedly passed the ball to Rose, and Rose missed the outside jumper this time.
Xie Chen and Wade grabbed rebounds with Gasol at the same time, and this time, they finally lived up to Wade's expectations, and Wade grabbed the rebound. Xie Chen quickly hit the bottom corner outside the three-point line in the opposite direction of Rose, Wade made a pass from behind, Xie Chen jumped up and shot, and hit the three-point again!
The Heat duo sounded the horn of a counterattack!
