Chapter 358: Strange Moves

Michael Jordan didn't think so much about it at this time, he is now an NBA team owner and a Nike shareholder, but he still has the soul of a basketball player in his bones after all. When he saw the confusion and fiery in his chic eyes, he couldn't help but want to do something. This is for very, very simple purposes, and there is no other doping.

When Michael Jordan occupied the offensive position again, Xiao Xiao had more eyes, he subconsciously took half a step back, and did not stick to the defense, because he wanted to see what Michael Jordan's footsteps were and why the whole action was so natural.

Michael Jordan secretly applauded Xiao Sao's backward move, and he felt that Xiao Slack was the kind of player who was good at learning from failure and reacting the fastest.

When Xiao took half a step back, Michael Jordan didn't turn around and shoot like he did last time, he turned around and quickly made a breakthrough feint with the ball in both hands...... The feints are very realistic, even though he hasn't played professional basketball in years. Xiao Shao's subconscious followed his feint and shifted his center of gravity backwards, but his footsteps did not go away, and at this time Jordan quickly turned his back, Xiao Xiao did not understand what was going on, Jordan had already retreated and jumped again...... Xiao Shi hurriedly pounced...... This time his fingers touched Jordan's basketball...... But...... Swish! The basketball fell to the Nets!

Jordan's movement rate is not fast, but he is always leading the defenders, and the defenders are always being played by him.

"If when I was younger, you stepped back half a step back to defend. I'm going to shoot straight back. Because half a step is enough for me to score a nice score. Michael Jordan said very seriously: "Of course." The speed of your defensive reaction was something I didn't expect, and you didn't use your body to suppress me in any way, and you still hit the basketball in the end, so this ball is considered a successful defense! We're 1-1 now, and then the last ball! ”

"No need!" Xiao Shao shook his head and said very seriously: "I probably already understand the essence of your attack. My previous wins and losses with you didn't matter from the beginning, so I'm not going to deliberately play another ball with you because of this. ”

Xiao Shao's words came out. Jordan was a little confused. I've always rejected others by myself, but today I let this guy refuse, and this guy still has a 'faint pretend-force' posture, it's really... It's a little annoying!!

Jordan was stunned, but the onlookers on the sidelines had long been accustomed to it, and it was this tone from the beginning, so they didn't make any strange or surprised sounds.

Michael Jordan, on the other hand, asked a strange and startled question, "You mean, you've got the hang of my offense?" ”

"I may not have mastered Cheng dΓΉ yet, but I already have some understanding, and I'll go back and see how your video compares. I think it's going to improve my attacking ability a little bit. Xiao said very seriously: "When I learn how to shoot jumpers, maybe I will make a qualitative leap because of this thing." But now. Help is limited. ”

"Then what is your understanding?"

"My understanding is that the offense doesn't start with the offense, and you should dig the traps before you start, such as positioning, body language deception, etc... It's a very systematic project, but I think I can master it eventually. Xiao replied very, very seriously.

When Michael Jordan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then clapped his palms: "Although many people can talk about the truth, I can see from your eyes that you should really understand." I've heard your name and your wild words before, and I've always thought you're an impulsive person. But now I feel like you're calmer than anyone else and you're going to be a big guy. I often praise juniors, but this time I was very attentive. ”

As he spoke, Michael Jordan also patted his chic shoulder cautiously. 、

The mobile phone cameras on the scene have pointed at this scene, which has special significance for many people. Even many, many years later, some even considered it a historic event, symbolizing the transition from the old to the new.

For Xiao Sa, such a conversation does not have any meaning, and it will not even stay in his memory and become a fragment of his life.

So, Xiao Wan naturally waved to Michael Jordan and walked to the locker room, he had to hurry up and do another physiotherapy, and the game was about to start. While doing physiotherapy, you have to study the tactics carefully, the situation of the game is ever-changing, and you have to be prepared for everything.

While Xiao Xiao was doing physiotherapy, the video of Xiao Xiao and Michael Jordan heads-up also quickly spread to the Internet through the Internet. In an instant, all kinds of discussions came like a tidal wave.

The hot spots of discussion are basically maintained at two points: "Jordan is worthy of being the god of basketball, he is still so sharp, and he can teach Xiao to be a man in minutes." "It's so bad that he can't even defend Michael Jordan, who is almost fifty years old, and he dares to say that he is the No. 1 scoring guard in the NBA, and the distance between him and Michael Jordan is at least 500 Kobe Bryant."

These statements quickly fermented on the Internet.

As a result, everyone is even more optimistic about the Knicks, after all, Xiao Xiao can't even defend Michael Jordan, who is almost fifty years old, what else can he do? Soon it was time for him to accept the painful defeat and the slap in the face.

This unfavorable atmosphere became more and more intense as the game approached quickly, and except for the hardcore Knicks and hardcore Xiao fans, almost no one was optimistic that the Knicks led by Xiao would be able to get out of the Water House Center Arena. After all, the current chic can't even defend the aging Michael Jordan.

Xiao Xiao obviously didn't expect that the video of himself and Michael Jordan resembling a teaching model would spread so quickly on the Internet, as if it were a viral promotion. In fact, of course, there is a shadow of Nike behind this, and many of the remarks are also secretly manipulated by Nike, they want to create a kind of poll that is not as chic as even the aging Jordan. Thus proving that Nike is better than Adidas!

This kind of psychological suggestion to the fans and the public.

And then it doesn't work for eggs.

Because their star Kobe Bryant stood up for the first time and made a statement on his Twitter: Michael and Shaw did not enter the real heads-up. Dash also didn't make any substantial defenses. If you really want to say winners. I think Dash won, the second goal went in, but Dash's fingers did touch the basketball, and it was a successful defense.

Kobe Bryant has been shot in the comments of fans, who made him the most Michael Jordan-like player in the league today? Therefore, it is inevitable that it will be mentioned by fans.

And now he himself has come forward to express his statement, in part because he wants to set the record straight. The other reason is more because he doesn't want public opinion to continue to mythologize Michael Jordan, because from his point of view. In any case, Michael Jordan is unlikely to be a dashing opponent. Saying that the aging Michael Jordan is better than chic, then don't I even see Michael's taillights in this life?

Kobe Bryant's starting point is good for himself.

And then, it still doesn't work.

Because everyone has formed an established understanding, even if Kobe Bryant stands up, he can only affect some people, and more people still don't take this seriously.

Xiao Shi is unaware of this qiΔ“ that happened in the outside world.

He simply gathered his teammates in the tunnel after finishing his physiotherapy and instilled in them a very clear belief: "Guys, we're going to win!" ”

"Heads up, let's walk into the arena with our chests up. Then he returned to New York with his head held high with his head held high. The Magic thought they had won, but it was just a wonderful dream. Soon. We will puncture this dream and let them stay in the cold reality and reflect! ”

The chic words seem to have magic, and it is easy to make the Knicks' players hold their heads high, and there seems to be no interference from the outside world in their heads, and those words about the Knicks' defeat do not seem to flow into their ears. Their momentum is like a rainbow now, as if they are going to reap a hand-to-hand victory.

When Xiao Sao led the Knicks into the Waterhouse Center Arena with their heads held high, the full crowd of fans had already begun to create a tidal wave of boos and abuse.

Xiao is used to this kind of scene, and he naturally likes to fight with these away fans, so he only finds it funny, not the slightest bit intimidated.

And the Knicks' veteran players didn't take this seriously, and the players who were not particularly experienced saw that the veteran players were calm and relaxed.

So, the pressure on the road wasn't put on the Knicks from the start.

On the other hand, on the home side, the players of the Magic team are a little Alexander, and every Magic player is stiff-faced, they are very strict, they are also very nervous, and they are even more under great pressure. Thanks to Stan Van Gundy's words, this has turned into a game that cannot be lost. If you can't lose, you have to win, and the whole stadium and the whole city are actively supporting the team, waiting for the victory. If in case...... If it fails, then the Magic team will face an irreparable crisis of confidence and the spurning of the entire city!

Stan Van Gundy played a big game, this is no longer stud, this is a complete gamble to bet all the honor and future on this one.

With their backs to the water, they had no way out. As a result, everyone from the management level down was quite nervous, so nervous that Stan Van Gundy's two eye bags were about to become pandas.

Xiao Shao looked at the coaching staff and players of the Magic team who looked solemn from a distance, as if they were attending the funeral, couldn't help but smile, shook his head and sighed: "After all, it's still too little experience, play with me, isn't this a big knife in front of Guan Gong?" ”

After releasing sympathy for the Magic team, Xiao Po turned around and arranged the personnel arrangement: "Jerome, Eddie, you guys wait and play at the same time." Galinani, you're a small forward, Stephen, you're still a playmaker. Tonight, I want you to take on more offensive firepower. ”

Qi Qi, who was called by name, took off his coat and training clothes, and Stephen Marbury gave Xiao Xiao a reassuring look, it was obvious that he was ready.

In the past six months, Stephen Marbury has been conscientiously fulfilling the responsibilities of a playmaking guard and even a supporting player, even if his physical energy is restored a little, it has not exceeded the slightest bit. This is in stark contrast to Stephen Marbury, who claimed to be the world's No. 1 point guard back then. It is true that people mature with age. But... Stephen Marbury is not a wolf with all his teeth gone. He still has teeth. Although the teeth are not as sharp as they used to be, they are hidden deeper. When a wolf is willing to hide its sharp teeth deeper than to show its ferocity when it is asked, it proves that it is more dangerous and deadly than ever.

Stephen Marbury gave Xiao a reassuring look, but D'Antoni stood up worriedly: "Xiao, isn't it too crowded for us to suddenly put down two inside lines of more than three hundred pounds piled up in the penalty area?" And our rhythm will also be dragged down, so that... Is it really good? We should have hit them as soon as they came up, and we should have caught them ............off guard."

For the run, D'Antoni has always been in his heart and refuses to forget. Who made him famous for running and roaring?

However, Xiao Shao did not agree with any of his suggestions, but told him very clearly: "First of all, I don't mean to throw both inside linemen in the penalty area, I need one of them to stand up and cover me." Secondly, can we really catch them off guard? The whole world knows we're going to run and bang, okay? After all, we don't have Milicic anymore. But why should we be guessed by the whole world? If the whole world is not optimistic about us, why should we follow their speculation and carry out our own tactics? That's ridiculous......"

"But ......"

D'Antoni tried to say something, but Xiao Shao didn't intend to continue the conversation with him: "Please don't interfere with my train of thought, okay?" ”

The meaning of Xiao Sa's words is very obvious.

Hearing this, D'Antoni quickly smiled and nodded: "Okay, good." Good. Just do as you say! ”

D'Antoni didn't feel anything wrong when he said this, but when he turned around and laid out specific tactics for the players. Only then did he realize that he seemed too humble...... Is this what a manager should say?

For a moment, he felt a little sad.

But there was no way, he could only passively accept this fact. Since Xiao joined the Knicks, in addition to the importance of him from above. The players are also becoming more and more respectful of him, because if you follow his ideas, you always get unexpected victories. When this kind of accident accumulates again and again, everyone forms a blind worship of him, and only obeys his instructions. On the contrary, the words of D'Antoni as a manager have lost their authority, and not too many people are willing to follow.

Gradually, D'Antoni also began to understand why Dunleavy was so eager to send Xiao Dash away, although he risked the world's condemnation, but it was indeed much easier to send him away as the head coach. On more than one occasion, D'Antoni had also pondered how much better it would be if he could send Xiao Shan away to restore his former order. But soon he'll give himself a slap in the face, because he knows it's impossible, and the Knicks boss isn't an idiot. And if they do, maybe the crazy Knicks fans will give themselves a bullet in the dead of night...... He absolutely believed that someone would do that, because Xiao Shao was now on the same level of God in New York.

Soon, the game began with the referee's whistle.

When Jerome James and Eddie Curry both played together at the same time, the whole arena was stunned...... What kind of routine is this? Shouldn't the Knicks play fast-breaking?

A lot of people didn't expect it, including Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy, who also thought that the Knicks would run like crazy in the opening game, so he replaced them with long-distance runners. But... But the Knicks made him fall through the eye again!!

"Jerome James actually started! My God! People live for a long time, and they can really see everything!! The commentator of T-NT couldn't help but sigh like this.

"I was once retired because Jerome James was on a huge pension contract with Isaiah Thomas? I didn't expect to see him play in the second half of the season, and now he actually started in the playoffs?! The Knicks are too childish and don't take the Magic team seriously. Did Xiao Shi figure out GuΓ²'s move to provoke the Magic team and make the game end faster? It seemed that he really wanted to go back to New York, and even failed at the expense of it. Kenny Smith sourly let out sarcastic words.

"Jerome James hasn't been bad at all this year, he's been very efficient in his playing time. Although his contract is very inconsistent with the number he played before, you can't help but admit that his height, his weight, and his tonnage are a natural barrier, and Dwight Howard will be very uncomfortable tonight! I think this must be a strange trick that Xiao Sze came up with. Keep watching the game and let time tell us the answer! Charles Barkley said a rare and kind word to Kenny Smith today, and he didn't even wave his fists or let out sarcastic words. Maybe it's because the game has just begun!!

Drip!

When the referee blows the whistle, he throws the basketball into the air.

Jerome James jumped desperately, and Dwight Howard quickly took to the air.

But he was quickly knocked out of the way by Jerome James' large tonnage, and then watched as James tossed the basketball to Xiao with a bounce of less than twenty centimeters.

After holding the ball in a dashing manner, he slowly moved towards the front court, and he did not pass the basketball to Stephen Marbury to organize, but carried the ball himself.

Xiao Xiao traveled very slowly, and Petrus was always on guard, although he also knew that he could not completely defend Xiao Sa, but in order to win, it was necessary to stay on the side.

When Xiao Xiao came to two steps outside the three-point line with the ball, the originally slow rhythm suddenly accelerated, and he quickly galloped forward...... Petrus hurried in pursuit...... Bang! Hit Jerome James' wall head-on head-on, and almost didn't bounce back and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Xiao Sao had stopped in front of Jerome James, and under his cover, he easily shot on the spot...... Swish!

When Xiao Xiao shoots on the spot without distraction, scoring a goal is 100% of the thing, and the difficulty is no higher than that of a normal man unscrewing a bottle of Coca-Cola.

Xiao hit a three-pointer in the opening game.

The fans in the stadium did not have the slightest defense, nor did they have the slightest concern, but the three points happened so suddenly!

They were stunned for a few moments before they let out a loud boo!

Xiao Xiao didn't know what the meaning of this boo was, could it be because he was afraid?? Come to think of it, that's the only reason!

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines didn't boo, but he was really stunned...... He didn't want to score goals in this way, he was completely a sniper's routine on the battlefield...... Use a meat shield as cover and shoot at the point with ease......... Isn't that a scoundrel? Just let the four Knicks players hold hands in a circle, and then he shoots in the middle!!

Don't say it, Xiao Shi really thought so.

Because according to the rules, it's really possible. But... This seems a bit too shameful!

Xiao is still a little face-loving!
