Chapter 093 - 3VS3 Bullfighting (3)
Usyris and Olajuwon stood in the middle of the small center circle, each standing in the middle of the opponent's half, facing their own half, ready to jump the ball.
Michael Jordan stood on the right side of the middle circle, his own half, with his back to the basket; Alan Houston is right behind Michael Jordan.
On the other side, Tim Hardaway and Iverson waited alone in their own half.
Drip! Drip! Drip!
Bill Russell held the basketball in one hand and grabbed the referee's whistle in the other, suddenly tossed the basketball high and blew the whistle at the same time to announce the official start of the game.
Olajuwon's eyes are quick and he is the first to jump; His bounce height has dropped by half, even if he is tall and has long arms, his vertical bounce height is less than 30 centimeters, and he can't reach the basketball at all.
Although Usiris had placed the 1-person super mark on Olajuwon's body, his reaction was a little slower than Olajuwon's; He then jumped to show his youthful advantage, and was significantly taller in the air than Olajuwon; Swing the basketball to your own half.
The stars snickered when they saw this.
Bill Russell deliberately threw the basketball high in favor of Usiris.
Michael Jordan changed direction and took the lead in basketball; Alan Houston also followed in hot pursuit, clinging to Michael Jordan's back.
Iverson immediately rushed to his own half, playing on the right side of the second lane, opening up enough space for Usyris.
Tim Hardaway clung to Iverson's back and followed.
Olajuwon and Usilis landed almost simultaneously.
Before Usilis could start running, Olajuwon posted up, and with a height advantage of 2.13 meters, he came to a close defense.
Michael Jordan dribbled quickly with one hand, backed up to Allan Houston and began to play back-to-back singles.
It was the first goal of the opening game, no one stepped forward to press, and the opportunity was left for Usilis to single!
The two sides started to run.
There are a variety of tricks for the attacker's positioning, including fast speed, zigzag change of direction plus reverse run, big stride and small step plus broken step, sudden change of direction acceleration, continuous turn, and so on.
This includes four factors: forward speed, traversal speed, turning speed, and reverse running speed.
Fast speed has a certain advantage, but it does not occupy an absolute advantage.
Usyris, with a big turn, got rid of Olajuwon's entanglement, and began to run; Although his forward speed is slower than Olajuwon, his turning speed has a clear advantage, and with two turns and a reverse run, he smoothly entered the 90-degree angle of the three-point line, ready to catch the ball with his back.
Olajuwon also chased after him, clinging to Usyris, relying on his height and shoulders down, and came to a close-fitting heavy pressure defense, pressing on Usyris's left waist with one hand and intercepting with the other.
Michael Jordan was hit three steps, one turned and dribbled, broke through Alan Houston, and passed the basketball to Usilis; He took the left 2nd lane, and like Iverson, he opened up a wide space and allowed Usilis to use his singles skills.
The home team's coaching staff had already laid out the tactics, with Michael Jordan as the captain, but the first three goals of the opening game were given to Usyris.
In official matches, the captain of the team has a number of privileges, such as opening the first goal, directing on the spot, appealing with the referee, adjusting tactics reasonably, and so on.
All the fans and stars were watching the scene.
Ursiris defeated Patri Ewing, Debeken Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, the three active All-Star centers in the NBA, and scored 100 points on Alonzo Mourning's head in the back-to-back singles, which has been spread.
Olajuwon, although old, but with pure strength and fantastic footwork, these two pieces can still dominate the entire NBA's interior line.
If Usyris can overcome Olajuwon's hurdle and become a generation of NBA All-Star centers, it will be a sure thing.
As one, their eyes were on the two people who were fighting at the same time.
Back-to-back singles, a contest between strength and power, is the first choice for the battle between the center.
If you run away, you're a softie!
No matter how high your shooting percentage is, how good the data is, and how many All-Stars you have entered, if you lose a mess in the back-to-back singles, it is a soft egg, and it is a cowardice!
On the basketball court, only the strongest giants are qualified to dominate the basket penalty area!
Usiris knew that in terms of strength, he might not be Olajuwon's opponent, and he had to cheat this time.
He secretly turned on the Barkley moment, let out a loud shout, half of his body exerted force at the same time, and sat back hard, squeezing Olajuwon backwards and successfully backing the first step.
One-step!
The fans in the stadium exclaimed.
Olajuwon also shouted, his feet moved back, his body changed to a forward state, and with a little adjustment, the strength of the defense was significantly increased.
Two steps! Three steps! Four steps! Five steps!
Usiris didn't care so much, and took four more steps on his back, one meter at a time, five steps and five meters, and pushed Olajuwon into the top of the arc and then into the center of the paint area.
Olajuwon roared angrily, and on the third step, he changed to a defensive posture of pushing his hands outward, but he still couldn't help himself, and was forced to take five steps.
The three-point line is 7.24 meters away from the basket, and he takes five steps with his back and moves 5 meters horizontally, naturally entering the center of the paint area, and is still 2.2 meters away from the basket, and then he must turn or roll over to attack.
NBA 5-second basket special case!
Within 5 seconds, the back plays five steps and moves 5 meters horizontally, so the pure broken back hit plus turning or turning over to the layup can only catch the ball from the middle distance, and cannot receive the ball from outside the three-point line.
The turn is a little more gorgeous, and the turn is a little more clumsy, the difference is the speed of the turn.
This rule severely restricts those big men who are strong and have average shooting and layup skills.
Of course, this did not affect Usiris much.
Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan, Tim Hardaway, and Allan Houston were amazed, but they still kept their distance.
One-on-one, a contest between pure powers, Usiris clearly has the upper hand, and there is basically no suspense about the rest!
If this continues, Olajuwon will definitely be beaten by Usilis under one-on-one!
It turned out to be as expected!
Usilis turned around and bounced.
Olajuwon made a quick sliding step in front of Usyris, and with a loud shout, he jumped up, holding one hand high in the air to intercept, and the other aimed at the basketball.
Usilis played a deft back-to-back switch in the air, and with a flick of his wrist, a master picked up a basket.
Olajuwon's slap naturally fell short, and he shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
