Chapter 5: The Duel Between Rookie and Old Bird (Part I)

PS: Thank you for the advice that the book friend Devil gave me, I corrected it, but I don't want a quasi-All-Star forward Luke, but a superstar Luke. Thank you. Below is the text.

Iverson knows that Luke is by no means a man who simply gives in, he is a genius, although he did not perform very well in the college league, but he has a strong performance in the summer league, and he has amazing physical measurements, has inhuman talent, as long as it is not affected by injuries, he is definitely the next superstar.

It's now Iverson's fifth season in the league, and Kobe Bryant, who sighed in the corner of the draft, also won the championship, but as the champion, he still has nothing to do, and he is very unwilling.

Before this season, he had a conflict with Larry Brown and the team's top management and was almost traded, but because of his efforts, the ending was okay and he didn't leave, but he also promised to listen to the coach and follow the command. At this time, the team had a super center Theo Ratliffe, a hard-working Snow, and a future "Kobe Bryant's chokehold" Lagabel. The basic lineup of the team is not bad.

Now here is this Luke, to make up for the team's last shortcoming - the forward lineup, although it can't not be made up, but it's better than nothing, not to mention that this is a talented striker, who can help him take the offensive pressure and increase the defensive strength, which is very good.

But Aaron is used to being the boss, at least for now he is reluctant to hand over the position of boss, and this road is likely to be to grab the position.

Then there are only two ways. One, he asked the team's top brass to trade Luke away. But his value and the contribution he can make to the team are very good, and Allen is hungry to be the boss, but he is even more hungry for a championship. What's more, using the top to squeeze out a rookie is something that Allen is ashamed of. Then there is only a second way - to beat him with ball skills.

This is the most straightforward. The competition on the basketball court is ball skills, and using ball skills to defeat opponents is the most convincing.

After the signing was completed, Bill was about to go back, and Luke dropped him off at the airport.

"Okay, let's send it here, you go back, you still have to prepare, you have to report tomorrow." Bill said.

"Okay, Dad, goodbye." "Goodbye." Bill walked away without looking back.

Luke's eyes were moist, he knew that the two of them were reluctant at this time, and even more reluctant to stay longer, only one person would go first, and the two would be separated.

Luke wiped away his tears and turned to leave.

But he didn't notice that it wasn't far away, and Bill was standing there.

"Come on, son. You are my son, and I am sure you will not lose. Bill thought to himself.

This time he turned around again and really walked away.

――――――――――――I'm the dividing line――――――――――――――――――

Luke specifically mentioned in the treaty that the team would help him find an apartment to live in. However, the general manager of the 76ers is worthy of being the head snake in Philadelphia, and quickly found an apartment and helped her pay the rent for the first three months.

Luke returned to the apartment that the team had helped him find, and after a brief tidying up, he was ready to rest, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Luke had to stand up and open the door. When he opened the door, he heard a voice outside the door,

"Hey, your name is Luke? Let's have a game. Let me see how good you are. "It's Aaron.

"Oh," Luke smiled slightly, "since it's the team's boss's invitation, then I'd better be respectful." With that, he followed Aaron out of the apartment.

Luke needs a chance to get his feet on the team now, and it's a good opportunity. Moreover, this time, Luke's wish was fulfilled.

Challenging Allen is every point guard's dream. As a representative of China's new generation of point guards, I grew up watching Allen play, and the breakthrough skills were also learned from Allen (of course, watching TV), there is nothing more exciting than a one-on-one game with Allen.

When they came to the Vochovia Arena, there were still some marginal players on the team training, and they all came up to greet Allen when they saw him coming, but they felt very strange to the white man in the back.

"What are they going to do?" "I don't know, it's like a bullfight." "Hehe, this young man really has the courage to dare to go one-on-one with Aaron, he thinks he is Gary Payton or Stockton, he is too bold!" "Hehe, there's a good show to watch this time." They are also not trained to stand by and whisper.

Luke felt like he hadn't heard the words.

"Come on, let me see your strength." Aaron cleared a field and took off his clothes to get ready to start.

Luke shrugged and undressed as well, ready to defend.

Allen took the ball and showed his housekeeping skills - wearing flowers and butterfly steps.

Wearing flowers and butterflies is a breakthrough means. For example, passing from the right side - dribbling with the right hand, suddenly accelerating to the right when approaching the defender, and then using the cross step, the left foot takes a big step forward with the right foot, the left shoulder is slightly heavy, protect the ball on the right side, at this time the defender moves to your right side, and then dribble the ball from the right hand crotch to the left hand, the left foot roughly returns to the original position, the shoulder swings to the left, and the posture of passing to the left is put on, taking advantage of the defender's eagerness to return to the position of the center of gravity is unstable, quickly dribbling the ball to the right hand to break through to the right side. If the defender is in place, then take a step back and shoot. It's the same with left-hand breakouts.

And when Aaron broke through, he came and went freely in the crowd, like a butterfly wearing flowers, so this trick was called a butterfly step wearing flowers. It's fast, decisive, and varied, and the next step is almost unpredictable. It's very difficult to prevent. Allen relied on this trick to eat all the defenders in the league, except for Bruce Bowen's black feet and Gary Payton and Stockton's small moves, almost no one could defend them. It was this trick that allowed Aaron to call the wind and rain in the league.

But this move is physically demanding and very demanding on shooting, and if you are not fast enough, react quickly enough, and shoot accurately enough, it is difficult to use this move well. In his later years, Aaron lost his competitiveness because of his declining physical fitness. And now that Aaron is at his peak, everything is fine, and of course this trick is used perfectly. Of course, the user must not be too tall. Because the center of gravity must be pressed very low when using this move, otherwise it is easy to be broken by others.

Defending this move requires the mental preparation to be shaken and broken ankle (which often happens in the NBA), and at least the mental preparation to be shaken, otherwise you don't want to go at all.

To prevent this move, you must have a good ability to predict and make up for the defense, and you are almost invincible in a one-on-one situation.

As a fan of Allen, of course, he knew this trick, and he didn't imitate it at the beginning. So he knows how powerful this move is, and he also has a headache when defending it.

But he's not completely out of the question.

"Ready? Rookie. I'm coming. Aaron said.

"Come on, old bird. Let me see how good you are. Luke shot back.

"So, let's go." Aaron started, and the big war was about to break out.
