Chapter 757: No One Is Left Behind
Chamberlain and O'Neal Jr. stand alongside, both of similar height and size – O'Neal Jr. has been gaining weight over the last two seasons, and his knees and ankles have forced him to make the transition from agile speed to orthodox interior.
Although similar, the impression given by the two is by no means the same.
Chamberlain is like a little lion, with high morale and bravery, full of momentum, and his abundant energy seems to be overflowing.
Little O'Neill has a sad face, his body is stiff, his skin is dark and boring, and his muscles are loose, seeing this scene, many fans sighed, they know that this beast that once ruled the eastern forbidden area is old!
The basketball spun up from the referee's hand, and Chamberlain seemed to have a spring under his feet, his body barely bent and jumped suddenly, the ball just began to fall, and he slapped the ball away.
At this time, little O'Neill jumped, this is little O'Neal, who was once famous for his bounce and speed!
Beasley's talent is undeniable, and his all-around physicality is probably the best in '08, with Derrick Rose and Bomb Westbrook both falling short of him.
However, his shortcomings are also obvious: scattered, inattentive, immature, and not doing his best defensively, and Billups knows these well, so he passed the ball to Jackson.
The first ball is played by the team boss, which is an unspoken rule of the NBA.
But Jackson chose to go it alone, and although his scoring dropped to an all-time low in the past two seasons, anyone who dared to underestimate Captain Jack would have to suffer. He conceded a chance to score, not because he couldn't, but because he didn't need to shoot.
Today's opportunity is good, Beasley dozed off as soon as he came on the court, Jackson got the ball and simply turned around and shot, long shot!
The game had just begun, and Jackson hadn't started for a long time, and his hand hadn't warmed up yet, and the ball spun around in the hoop and came out like a pancake.
As soon as the rebounding ball bounced out of the circle, Haslem and O'Neal Jr. stuck to the basket from left and right, like two big pincers of a crab, and they were about to clamp the restricted area.
Chamberlain was in the middle, and he was like a rock that prevented the crab's two big pincers from meeting him.
I saw his body squatting down, his legs jumping high, his slender body was like a straight spear, when he flew in the air, the beauty of that strength and speed made some coquettish young women get wet directly!
With one arm raised high and his body slightly bent to the side, Chamberlain suddenly pulled the basketball into his hand.
He tore and pulled, this rebound ball was unmatched, and after landing, his toes were on the floor a little, and then he flew, still raising his right arm, while his right hand grabbed the ball tightly, and the whistling flight was a rocket skyrocket.
The ball was so hot that the fans were enthusiastic, and the smell of hormones began to waft through the stadium, and both men and women jumped with cheers.
Spoelstra has made it clear in the tactical deployment that the Heat are going to speed up today, Arroyo is going to dribble the ball as a point guard, but even if he has the ball in his hands, no one is guarding him, and the attention of Billups and West is on Wade.
Fools know that the core of the Warriors is Chamberlain, and the core of the Heat is Wade, and Wade is still the only core and the only hope of the team.
After Arroyo dribbled close to the three-point line, he still chose to pass the ball although he saw Wade being trapped.
It's not Europe, it's not his team, it's the NBA, he's a passerby here, so he's going to come at the rhythm of others.
After passing the ball to Wade, Arroyo ran down the three-point line to the weak side, and his three-point was very intimidating, so that Billups could not continue to cooperate with West to keep an eye on Wade.
"Watch his first step!" Nelson Sr. yelled from the sidelines.
Wade's first step to break through is very fast, and a lot of his Flash reputation is derived from this step, and few opponents can prevent this step, usually he relies on the first step to get past the opponent and bombard the hoop to score.
Deserves its name, this time Wade still chose to break through.
West now has a name, that is, Wade Jr., last season, he also frequently played hard breakthroughs, and the best way to score was to rush into the restricted area, collide with the opponent, and then use the strong upper body to stabilize the balance and send the ball into the hoop. For this reason, mainland fans said that he practiced Chinese magic skills and fell eighteen times.
But West has always been dissatisfied with this, yes, he and Wade have a lot in common: the same strength, the same explosiveness, the same terrifying, the same bravery, but how can the arrogant mad dog be willing to be a copycat?
The person West wants to beat most is Wade, and he wants to prove that he is not a knockoff.
However, when they met head-on today, West had to admit that Wade was very strong, and his strength surprised him.
With the ball in hand, Wade took a deep breath, and then his strong body suddenly twisted half a circle, and rushed sideways to the wing with the ball in his right hand.
West then stepped back and moved sideways, Wade's step was extremely fast, his eyes flashed, and the opponent almost rushed through the space distance between the two, and directly killed each other.
Haslem faithfully fulfilled his lieutenant duties, standing in the high post, Wade running past him, and West being blocked by him.
Throwing off West, Wade's body paused suddenly, and Ibaka, who had changed his defense, rushed up with open arms, and paused when he saw this.
But then, Wade suddenly lunged in, he almost didn't want to knees, and he stopped and got up so quickly that Ibaka even heard the crunch of his opponent's kneecaps.
Of course, this effect is also huge, Wade hit Ibaka by surprise and passed him directly, Ibaka turned his head to see Wade's back, and could only reach out from behind to pick up the ball.
After connecting the two, Wade will face the enemy is Chamberlain.
The Flash faced this man who may be the best defensive man in NBA history, his resolute expression was undaunted, he shook and changed direction, handed the ball to his left hand with his right hand, and twisted in an oblique stab, still firmly breaking through.
Chamberlain shouted and chased after him, where was he so easy to be passed, but Wade continued to change direction, rushed into the penalty area, and suddenly braked again, so that Chamberlain finally couldn't keep up with his footsteps, Wade jumped hard and pulled the rod to shoot.
The ball danced in the air for half a circle, leaving behind an extremely brilliant arc of light, and finally landed in the hollow of the basket.
In the arena of the American Airlines Center, cheers are like war drums!
Old Nelson shook his head regretfully, Wade's body did not say, and his skills did not say, but his current achievements were obtained under the premise of overdrawing combat effectiveness, and he knew that this kind of player could not live long.
Many people wonder why Iverson likes to break through so much, and his athletic life is still so long? Now Iverson is almost 38 years old and still active in the ring.
In fact, Iverson broke through well, but he didn't score by breaking, his first scoring method was mid-range shots, especially pull-up jump shots, which were accurate and fast.
In addition, Iverson's emergency stop is not a forced stop with a broken knee, and those who are familiar with him know that he often falls to the ground after making a shot, and no one touches him, and he also falls to the ground, because Iverson releases the inertia of the breakthrough when he jumps, and he falls to the ground to vent this power.
Wade also fell to the ground, but often by someone.
After the Warriors missed the offense, Haslem picked up the rebound, and the Heat counterattacked quickly, Wade staged this kind of drama of being knocked down.
Wade's speed is as fast as lightning, he wants to get the ball in the fast attack, his body suddenly falls down and his speed does not decrease, the muscles on his body are tight, like a black panther ready to hunt, after rushing into the front court three-point line, he changed direction twice in a row, and did not slow down twice in a row.
When Wade rushed into the restricted area and was about to make a layup, Ibaka, who rushed up, gritted his teeth, he knew that he could not defend himself against the Flash, known as the 'ankle finisher', so he pushed up fiercely, ready to stop Wade in advance.
Ibaka's action is also benevolent, but when the wall is blocked, not waved and pushed.
Wade bumped into it, and he just had to go to the ground, which was a two-free foul.
As a result, Wade gritted his teeth after being hit and chose to maintain his balance to go to the basket before flying sideways.
The ball falls into the hoop again, and the referee blows the whistle, 2+1.
Ibaka was so angry that he smoked, and he scolded: "I really don't know how to know good people, since he doesn't want knees, then why is Lao Tzu still a good person?" Next time, Lao Tzu will directly abolish him! ”
The American Airlines Center Arena once again fell into a frenzied atmosphere of cheering, and Wade's ball was not only exciting, but also high-spirited, which is the charm of basketball!
But few people noticed that the painful expression on Wade's face flashed when he landed, but when he stood up, he turned into an immobile flash again.
To be called 'Jordan five centimeters shorter' by Riley, Wade is not a mouth cannon.
Wade's play aroused the blood of the Heat, and even the heartless Beasley was shocked by the boss's play.
"Man, man, the body is your own, the game is everyone's, you don't have to play so hard, right?" Beasley snorted as he stepped forward and pulled Wade up, "We're just playing, it's just a regular season game......
Wade interrupted him and said with a blank but firm face: "Brother, this is indeed an ordinary game, but look where we are? This is the American Airlines Arena, and this is our place! If our opponents can abuse us on our turf, what face do we have to say that we are the king of Miami?! ”
Beasley sneered, "You're the king of Miami, recognized, I'm a Miami hooligan, that's also recognized." ”
Wade looked at him with blazing eyes and said, "No, brother, when the team selects you, you will be the savior of Miami!" What we want is not a rogue, what the city needs is a hero, Michael Hero Beasley! ”
Chamberlain felt that things were not very good, Beasley's expression was not quite right, this Wade is usually silent, but he didn't expect him to be a master of speech.
He knew that he couldn't let the Heat play with momentum, and then gave West a look, and when Wadega hit a free throw, Ibaka served to Billups, who immediately handed the ball to West, and the Warriors' offensive rhythm was mentioned at the highest.
This time Chamberlain ran unusually fast, watching him sweep across the half court like a whirlwind, the fans at the scene let out an irrepressible exclamation, is this a center? No!
West is faster, he is a mad dog comparable to the Flash, his body naturally leans down, like a Clipper riding the wind and waves, and the ball in his hand rushes to the front court with lightning speed.
As soon as Big Foot stepped into the free throw line, West caught the Heat's attention because he had already put away the ball and started a three-step layup!
'Papapa' took three steps, and behind West, there was another majestic figure with three steps.
Rushing into the restricted area, Chamberlain's body with running inertia suddenly shrank downward, his big foot slammed on the floor at the same time, and his slightly black skin was fiercely propped up by the thick muscle lines, and rushed towards the hoop with an overwhelming momentum.
At the same time, West, who was caught between Wade, Beasley and Arroyo, struggled to break through a gap and tossed the ball high into the air.
With his hands raised high, Chamberlain flew in the air, his upper body straight, his legs bent naturally, the ball flew in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, he grabbed the ball steadily.
"Die!" After catching the ball, Chamberlain roared violently, his arms quickly crossed a large arc in the air, his eyes were furious like a tiger King Kong, and when his eyes were almost level with the hoop, he dunked with a bang!
The wild impact exploded like a nuclear bomb, and Chamberlain tore the hoop with both hands, causing the basketball hoop to shake wildly, as if he were a civil servant lying under the majesty of the king!
