Chapter 304: He Plays Well, But His Brain Is Sick
Having just finished mourning the victims of the Connecticut school shooting, Noah celebrated the goal with a notorious "put the gun in the set" action, and his brain-dead act immediately angered many people.
Humphries, the "FUCK" Nets, rushed up and angrily scolded Noah, followed by Evans, Wallace, DeLong, and Tall Zhuang, and the Nets were obviously very angry at Noah's move.
Although it was at the United Center Arena, the home of the Bulls, Noah's move just now made the Bulls fans at the scene in a dilemma, and even many fans booed.
"Tut", "Tut", ...... When it was about to develop into a large-scale "team battle", the referee's quick whistle stopped the expansion of the conflict between the two sides, and at this time, in order to stop the conflict from continuing to expand, the head coach of the Nets "Little General" Johnson asked for a timeout in time.
"Guys, come here," Coach Johnson motioned for the Nets players to gather around him, then glanced at the players next to him and said slowly, "Do you feel it?" Standing in front of us is a blue-collar team in a blue-collar city, where hard work is king, and now we have to put aside the glitz and glamour, because only tough, persistent forerunners can make a difference in Chicago."
"That strange-looking guy (Noah), his shooting posture is like pushing the shot put, his quarters of his shots are rebounds, he has almost no mid-range jumpers, the three-pointer just now, I'm sure, absolutely, 100 percent of it, but he's very aggressive, he has a very strong desire to attack the basket, his passing is very threatening. So you have to keep him out of the box and cut off his pass with your waving arms. If you have to foul him, you have to stop him from pounceing on the basket, you know? Coach Johnson said to Evans and Humphries, the Nets' interior line, with a serious, serious face.
"And," said Coach Johnson, turning to the tall and strong and Deron Williams, "though he's tough defensively. He has a good sense of defense and a lot of flexibility, but he's not fast enough for you, and he's prone to getting caught in foul traps on the defensive end, so you have to take advantage of him."
"Okay" Coach Johnson just finished speaking, and Gao Dazhuang immediately responded loudly, he also wanted to send a positive signal to his teammates, and at the same time wanted to put a certain amount of pressure on himself. After all, his performance today was very average.
"Very good" At this time, Coach Johnson looked at the tall and strong, nodded and said: "Anyway, he plays well, but his brain is sick", after saying that, Coach Johnson also pointed to his head.
Johnson's serious words made the Nets players snicker, and the tall and strong also subconsciously turned his head to look at the Bulls center Noah, who was shaking his head on the sidelines.
Noah wasn't good-looking, and his braided hairstyle was a detraction for his image, and from the back, Noah looked more like a WNBA player.
But Noah has become the absolute main force in the center position of the Bulls by virtue of his own strength. Last season, he averaged 11.7 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, proving himself to be an excellent blue-collar interior player, for which the Bulls gave him a five-year, 60 million contract.
The Bulls' explanation is that they value Noah's passion and hard work in the game. and the ability to mobilize the emotions of teammates.
In fact, it is true, although Noah behaves strangely and extremely, the comprehensive statistics of 15 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 1 foul are the results of the Bulls center in the first three quarters.
"It's really the same as the coach said. He's playing well, but he's sick in the head. It's just a strange thing" Seeing Noah, who was interacting with his team's mascot "Red Bull" Pele, on the sidelines, the tall and strong couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
67:80。 The game came to the fourth quarter, and the Nets were 13 points behind their opponents, leaving the Nets with little time left.
"Snap" Deron Williams hit a straight pass, passed the ball to Humphries, who was stuck under the basket, and Humphries, who received the ball, faced the defense of Noah sitting under the basket, and continued to dangle after a sideways small hook.
But Noah, the Bulls' titan, did not eat Humphries's feints, he judged that Humphries was going to choose to throw with a hook hand, only to see him take a step forward, open his big hand, and "snap", a beautiful cover!
The Bulls fans at the "Oh" scene immediately let out a huge cheer, and the United Center Arena was once impressed by the backward jumper of "Flyer" Jordan, but now, the fans are cheering for Noah, a big man who behaves strangely.
However, while the Bulls fans cheered, the tall and strong man flew to the basketball that was fanned by Noah and grabbed the ball before Belinelli.
After getting the ball, the tall and strong did not stop, and a change of direction flashed past Belinelli in front of him to cut under the basket, and the moment he stepped into the paint area, the tall and strong stepped forward and jumped high.
The tall and strong man had already risen into the air and swooped straight to the basket, and Noah was also very clever to move sideways and make up for the block.
"Peng", but the tall and strong man under the impact basket had already prepared for this ball, using the impact force to push Noah away with his body in the air, and after creating a trace of offensive space, he shot a basket with one hand.
"Brush", the tall and strong layup hit, and at the same time the referee's whistle suddenly sounded, 2+1!
Humphries, Evans and others, who had been suppressed by Noah for a long time, immediately rushed to Gao Dazhuang's side and celebrated loudly, among which Humphries also looked at Noah very provocatively.
Of course, Noah was not convinced, and rushed up to read in pieces, and the two suddenly faced each other, and then the referee had to whistle again to separate them.
After this clash, the game continued, and the tall man hit a free throw.
The Bulls attacked, and at this moment, Noah was like playing "chicken blood", yelling and constantly asking for the ball under the basket, but the Nets' interior Evans and Humphries were also angered by Noah's actions, and the two frantically pinched Noah.
In the end, Robinson, the Bulls point guard, ended the Bulls' offense with an extremely difficult step-back jumper, "dang". However, Robinson's offense bounced off the basket with Delon disrupting it.
The moment Robinson made his move, the Nets gathered four or five players under the basket. At this time, several people jumped high at the same time to compete for the rebound, but the first to touch the basketball was indeed the Bulls' "Fierce Flying" Noah.
I saw Noah stand out from the crowd. With an extremely delicate touch of the fingers, the basketball changed track in the air and fell straight into the net.
With a "brush", Noah hit a rebound.
"Ah!!h Noah, who hit the rebound, roared loudly and waved his arms vigorously, mobilizing the enthusiasm of nearly 20,000 fans at the scene, and suddenly a huge cheer resounded throughout the United Center.
Basketball is not only a physical and technical competition, but also a contest of will and spirit, especially in the fourth quarter, Noah's "excited" state has made his combat effectiveness more tightly improved.
Tall and strong suddenly thought of a word that has become more popular recently to describe Noah. It's "weird".
Noah is always full of unusual passion for basketball, his "mad dog" spirit, always hiding the shadow of the Bulls predecessor Dennis Rodman, and his exaggerated body movements always give people a feeling of "I'll go, this thing is too energetic".
In fact, it's a habit of Noah, and whenever Noah thinks he's playing a good round, he uses his body language to express his joy. At the same time, it mobilizes the emotions of the home audience.
Bulls coach Thibodeau said in a follow-up interview: "Noah has a terrible energy in his body, and he does his best in training and games, as long as he gets into the arena." You can feel the fire contained in him."
In the fourth quarter of the game, many players will experience varying degrees of fatigue, but Noah does not. His performance isn't over yet.
Wallace of the Nets missed a mid-range jumper, and Noah jumped high. Grab a defensive rebound.
Robinson of the Bulls advanced quickly with the ball, after a quick break failed. He passed the ball to Noah, who was plugged in in the back row.
Noah received a pass between the three-point line and the free-throw line, and in the face of Humphries' frontal defense, Noah did not pass the ball or break through, but used his ugly shooting posture to shoot the basketball in his hand.
I saw that Noah's legs were barely bent when he shot the basket, and he pushed the ball directly in front of his face with a matchbox-like jump height.
There was a "brush", but the basketball thrown in such a weird and ugly shooting posture swayed and rebounded and rolled into the basket.
Noah hit a large two-pointer at Humphries, and he was highly excited to defend while playing Zorro's continuous action of throwing the gun at Humphries, and his mouth was "snapping" dubbing.
"FUCK, you shit" Noah's provocative gesture made Humphries furious, looking like he was going to rush up and fight Noah.
At this time, the tall man standing next to Humphries grabbed Humphries and said, "Calm down, he has a bad brain, are you too?" Do you want to be more stupid than him? ”
Hearing Gao Dazhuang's words, Nets power forward Humphries's anger seemed to subside, and Gao Dazhuang continued: "Beat him on the court with dignity, that's what you have to do"
"Okay," Humphries said, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
The Nets attacked, and Delon dribbled to the front court to pass the ball to the wing's tall man, who attacked near the three-point line at a 45-degree angle.
In the face of Belinelli's defense, Tall and Strong's continuous cross-steps and false swaying deceived the opponent to keep retreating, and at this time, Tall and Strong accelerated again after a limit change, and instantly wanted to break through Belinelli's defense, and Noah of the Bulls also adjusted his defensive position in time and prepared to make up for the defense.
But at this moment, the tall and strong suddenly made a sudden stop, and directly pulled out, and the tall and strong in the air leaned back slightly, and jumped out.
With a "brush", the tall and strong basketball passed through the center of the net in a beautiful arc.
Next, the tall man made another offensive burst to the basket, attracting the attention of several Bulls players and passing the ball to Humphries, who cut to the basket.
There was a loud bang, and the unmarked Humphries received the ball and jumped high, slamming the ball into the basket with both hands.
After the goal of "COMEON", Humphries did not forget to shout at Noah and vent his emotions wantonly.
"SHIT, are you being beaten stupid? So excited? Now it's us who are ahead," Noah fought back, not to be outdone.
"Your hairstyle makes you look like a fool"
"I think it's much better than yours, you tasteless guy"
…… Humphries and Noah are immediately caught up in an endless trash-talk squirt. (To be continued......)
