Chapter 22, against the 76ers

In the 2ooo-2oo1 season, the Philadelphia 76ers were full of glory, under the leadership of "Answer" Allen Iverson and four-time best defensive player Diebaken Mutombo, the 76ers went all the way to the Finals and snatched a victory over the beautiful Lakers.

After the summer, the 76ers lacked three of last season's Finals pioneers -- power forward Tronny Hill, small forward Jumaine Jones and George Lynch, and the lineup has changed significantly, but the strength of the whole team has not been greatly affected. New signings Matt Hapnen, Derrick Kerman and Raja Bell can just make up for Hill and Lynch, and more importantly, the 76ers have successfully retained last season's hero Mutombo and "Best Sixth Man" Aaron McGee, which also marks that the 76ers are still the tenacious and unyielding death team that is good at creating miracles.

But since the start of the new season, the 76ers have lost three games in a row due to injuries to Allen Iverson and main playmaker Eric Snow. It was their fourth game, but the smashing Alan Iverson was back.

In the locker room, Christian Leitner was around me repeating what I should pay attention to: pay attention to the position, the left leg is on the left, the right leg is on the right, the hands are raised high, don't try to use the hands, lean forward, use the forearms, if Aaron Iverson and Aaron McGee break through, you have to remember not to go up and block, let him break through, you just need to move quickly to a 45-degree angle to jam him. Wait for him to make a shot before blocking, and watch out for rebounds. ”

I feel like I've really found a good teacher, and the fishing rod I gave me is really worth it.

Michael Jordan looked at his watch, it was almost time, and beckoned to me, "Kwamay, it's your turn!" ”

Stunned, stunned, stunned.

I walked to the door with no choice, turned my head to face everyone, my face was flushed, my voice was suppressed, and I shouted reluctantly: "I am the No. 1 center in the NBA, I am the No. 1 center in the world." ”

There was another laugh in the dressing room, and I was ashamed to be ashamed. This is a trick of my so-called psychiatrist, George Grant, and Michael Jordan is the overseer of this treatment program.

"Kwamei, you're going to be the No. 1 center in the NBA!" A stern answer came from the laughter, it was Christian Leitner!

Yes! I will! With your guidance, I believe I will be the No. 1 center in the NBA! My heart is full of determination!

Wizards: Kwame Brown, Christian Leitner, Michael Jordan, Richard Hamilton, Tyrone Luc.

76ers: Deepbeken Mutombo, Derek Kerman, Raja Bell, Aaron Iverson, Aaron McGee

Uncle Mu and I stood in the middle circle to jump the ball, although Uncle Mu was relatively thin, but his height of 2.18 meters and his arm span of 2.31 meters gave him great strength when jumping the ball. I lost, and the basketball was my first reach, but then I was poked by Uncle Mu, and the ball was obtained by Aaron McGee, and then a direct pass to Allen Iverson, the 1.83m Iverson had an unmatched advantage in degree, and a light three-step layup announced the beginning of the battle.

The Wizards attacked, Michael Jordan got the ball from beyond the three-point line, Richard Hamilton was running around with Iverson, and Christian Leitner and I were battling it out inside.

I've never felt someone else's defense before, and this is the first time I've experienced someone else's defense. Leitner was not wrong at all, Uncle Mu was completely in the card position, with his hands raised high, his left foot on the left side, his right foot on the right side, his whole body leaning forward, using his forearms tightly against my back, and pushing me away from the basket like a sumo wrestler. His defense had a suffocating feel to it, and if I didn't move forward, I could barely turn around, and there was no way to make a move. This is the most formal defensive technique, and if I had such a good defensive technique at the time, I would not have gone off the rails, and I believe that I would have been able to defend against Vlad Divac and Shaquille O'Neal on my own, and I would not have used that humiliating front guard against Chris Webb.

Michael Jordan made a quick stop, then shook off Raja Bell's defense and went inside, I blocked Uncle Mu behind him, and Michael Jordan ended the round with an easy shot.

"Kwameka slot, pay attention to the card slot!" Christian Leitner shouted at me.

I hurriedly corrected my defensive posture, not with my hands, but with my feet, my left foot on the left, my right foot on the right, leaning forward, raising my right hand high, and using my left forearm against Uncle Mu.

It's broken, I have a force, Uncle Mu was pushed by me, and suddenly floated outward, I was a little overwhelmed.

"Don't worry about him, he's out, don't worry about him, look at his position, he won't be shot!" Leitner continued to point at me.

Yes, Uncle Mu's muscle type makes him unable to shoot at all, and his offense is all secondary offenses and dunks obtained by grabbing rebounds under the basket.

Uncle Mu, once again trying to occupy a position on the inside, I meditated on the technical moves in my mind and stuck him firmly, but I didn't pay attention to Allen Iverson's breakthrough.

Iverson made a stop-and-go shift to shake off Richard Hamilton's defense and cut straight inside, and my attention was completely absorbed in the defensive technique and completely unfocused on Iverson. Iverson drilled behind me and scored two points with a pull-up.

"Don't just pay attention to Mutombo, you have to pay attention to Iverson and McGee's breakthroughs, and pay attention to the fast move 45-degree angle slot." Christian nodded at me loudly.

The Wizards attacked, and Uncle Mu stuck my position behind me, and I couldn't move.

"Come out, go in again, don't stop, get moving!" Leitner pointed at me again.

When you don't have the ball, if the opponent is stuck in the position, then you have to come out, change the direction and go in again, keep moving, and you will always find an opportunity to make the opponent out of position, so that it is easy to get the space to shoot.

I came out again, and then one time I hit the paint area, Michael Jordan's ball suddenly came into my hands, I took the ball, jumped, and before Uncle Mu's pace could adjust, I yelled and slammed a slam on his head.

The audience was cheering, and even female fans could be heard shouting: "Kwamei, I love you!" ”

It's very relieving, it's easy, it's so easy to attack, as long as you have a certain amount of space, the offense under the basket is no different from drinking white water!

"You can do it! I told you you could do it! "Lettner came up and gave me a chest-punching salute.

"Thank you!"

"Stinky boy!"

As the game continued, Iverson got the ball, Richard Hamilton bent over and stared closely, it was a bit difficult for him to keep Iverson, his papier-mΓ’chΓ© defense was too flattering, but he had to defend it.

Iverson moved, Iverson suddenly added, then an emergency stop, then another plus, Hamilton couldn't keep up with his degree at all, he was overwhelmed in eagerness, and sat on the ground with his ass, and he was shaken to the ground.

Iverson was on the verge of the basket, and I quickly slid to the 45-degree angle, leaned forward, and raised my hands in the air, ready to give him a block when he made a shot.

Passing, Iverson didn't look back, the basketball went to the outside, Aaron McGee received the ball, completely empty, and Tyrone Lu, who was defending the opposite position, completely lost his position. Three-pointer from distance.

Perhaps it was the first shot, and Aaron McGee's hand was still a little cold, and the basketball smashed on the neck of the basket, bounced up, and fell again.

I kept Mutombo in the back tight, my eyes glued to the basketball, trying to jump,! I was tempted to scold, but Mutombo's arm was raised high behind me, just stuck on my shoulder, and the referee didn't blow a foul, I really wanted to scold my mother. The basketball was relatively close to me, but Mutombo used his slender upper body to pick it up, and it flew to the back of my head.

Mutombo grabbed the rebound, the ball flew to the outside again, and Aaron McGee took advantage of his height to shoot a jumper in front of Tyrone Luc, and scored a three-pointer.

Christian Leitner patted me on the shoulder and said, "That's the level of the best defensive player in the NBA, learn from it." ”

I looked at this slender man who was called Uncle Mu, and my heart rippled, this is a pure defensive center, a superstar who doesn't have to attack at all, and this is what I want to learn.

"When you're grabbing a rebound, you sit down so you have enough space to get up again, and you're careful not to hit the opponent, and you're going to get a foul." Michael Jordan, who had not spoken, said while I was on the baseline.

There was a hint of warmth! It's the guidance of Jordan!
