Chapter 111: Charlotte's Attack (3)

Friday, 14 December 2001. Vochovia Arena.

The "Song of the Star-Spangled Banner" was played in the venue, and the audience was silent. Luke closed his eyes and listened, thinking back to the videos he had watched over the past two days.

Very few teams have videos of Marshburn, he doesn't mix well in Dallas and Miami, few teams keep videos of him, there is no way, Luke can only find videos of players close to him to watch, hoping to be inspired.

But few of his contemporaries had a style of play close to him, so Luke had to look for players from the last century. Who to look for? Luke immediately thought of him - Joe's gangster, Michael Jordan.

Joe Gang Leader is a famous basketball player in the NBA of the United States, known as the "trapeze". He has set countless records in his basketball career, is considered by most to be the best basketball player in the world, and is the first superstar in NBA history to hold the title of "Athlete of the Century". He promoted the NBA to every corner of the globe and became the unstoppable American culture outside of Hollywood. He's a really amazing player. On offense, he has won the scoring title (ten times, the first in history, seven of which were in a row), the regular season MVP, the All-Star Game MVP, the Finals MVP, the dunk king in the All-Star Game, the career average of 30.123 points per game (including the Bulls and the Wizards), the first in history (Chamberlain was second with 30.06 points) scored in double digits in 866 consecutive games, the first in history, the most points per game in a single season of 30+, and the first in history 8 times, The playoffs averaged 33.4 points per game, the most in history. Defensively, he can press the opposition and win the best defensive player. He is God in this day and age (not promoted to God)!

And his style of play is very close to Mashburn, they also like to play back, and they are good at turning around and shooting behind their backs, which is Jordan's move to play invincible opponents all over the world in the later period, and it is also Mashburn's move to eat all the small forwards, and his move is learned from Jordan.

So whoever can guard against Jordan can guard against Mashburn, but the question is, can anyone guard against Joe's gang? It should be said that there are none, but there are many who can limit him, such as "Smiling Assassin" Thomas, "Big Bug" Rodman, etc.

But it's not enough to just watch the video, Luke also asked Tony Kukoczy, a teammate of the former Joe gang leader, and inquired about the characteristics and habits of the Joe gang leader, and finally paid for a meal.

"Jamal Mashburn, if I don't abuse you today, I won't be surnamed Lu!" Luke swore in his heart, "I've changed my surname to Wharton!" ”

The ball jumped in the middle circle, and Theo Ratliff beat Jamal Magloyer to jump the ball to Snow.

The 76ers returned to their original starting lineup for this game, with Snow organizing guards, Allen scoring guards, Luke small forwards, Tyrone Hill power forwards, and Theo Ratliff center.

Snow handed the ball to Allen at half-time, and it was the home field, and the team boss scored the first goal.

Allen confronted Barang Davis directly. Barang Davis' height and weight, as well as his disproportionate speed, make him a no-brainer defensively. Allen started and two consecutive cross-steps caused Baran Davis to misjudge, and Allen went straight to the ball and used a pull-up jumper to score before PJ Brown and Mar Magloyle dared to arrive.

"It was Allen Iverson who scored......" The stadium DJ began to read the name of the goalscorer, and the audience cheered.

"Hey, when did I get such treatment?" Luke sighed softly, but soon came to his senses as Baran Davis came in with the ball.

Again, this first shot from the Hornets should be played by the team boss. Baran passes the ball to Mashburn.

After Mashburn received the ball, Luke directly stuck to it. Luke would rather have Mashburn back than have him go straight to the frame. Even if Marshburn is a basket master.

Mashburn began his customary back-to-back beating. Luke has fully parsed Jordan's turnaround and step-back jumper through what he has learned over the past few days. Basketball back-of-the-line jumper technique can be called one of the NBA's most ornamental actions, it is a more difficult technical action, the purpose of the back-up is to prevent the person from being targeted from covering the hot pot, but the timing of the jump and the angle of the back-up need considerable skills to grasp very accurately, the most important thing is the balance and landing when in the air, the slightest carelessness will sit down, and even twist to the ankle; This shooting technique is often used when the opponent is high in the ball or has a better bounce than you.

Joe's step-back jumper is like this: for the defender's step-by-step jumper as an example, the technical action can be basically divided into the following links: Jordan first turns his back to the defender, holds the ball in one hand, takes one foot as the central pivot foot, and the other foot takes a big step back to the side or side, in order to get rid of the opponent's defense, stride and lower the center of gravity of the body at the same time, ready to jump at any time. Then, when the center of gravity of the body drops, the other foot lands on the ground, and the jump action should be coordinated. When starting to step to the beginning of the jump, the whole movement should be coordinated and not broken down to form a complete movement. If you are shooting a jumper with your back to your opponent, lowering your body's center of gravity while gaining the advantage of "one shoulder and half step" (opening up a certain distance) to press your opponent to the side of your body is crucial to this attack. The jumping action should use the coordination of the feet, legs, waist and abdomen, and the whole body. When jumping to the highest point, the arm holding the ball should be naturally stretched upward with the jumping action, when the arm reaches the highest point, use the strength of the finger and wrist to shoot softly, not from the highest point to descend the moment and then shoot, at the highest point of the shot is not only easy to coordinate the action, but also can well control the strength of the finger and wrist. The arm holding the ball must be extended upwards, not 45 degrees, so that the ball can get the best parabola. When the last shot is made, the power of the first joint of the index finger and middle finger [finger belly] should be used to shoot, that is, the ball is finally left through these two fingers, and the ball is shot through the power of these two fingers, the ball is flapped backward in the air, and the better the finger and wrist strength is used, the more the ball spins backspin, the more stable the flight, and the higher the hit rate. It is a mistake to have the ball in full hands and use the power of all hands to shoot. When jumping to the top point until the ball lands in the basket, Jordan will keep his eyes on the front of the basket, and the ball will retain the state of the last shot after the shot. Watch the ball land in the hoop. Then listen to the cheers of the audience.

Luke looked at Mashburn in front of him who was playing the ball with his back and smiled.

Come on, let me see what you've learned from Joe's helper. Luke thought.
