Chapter 538: A Talent That Can't Be Concealed!

At the beginning of the Timberwolves practice game, the white team scored the first goal under the strong offensive of Martial Arts.

And it was this ball of martial arts that directly made the skin of the players of the green team begin to tighten. That kind of calmness during the attack reminded Garnett and others of some not-so-good memories.

"This man"

"Is it the player that the team management wants to get?"

"It does look like it's really interesting."

Marbury had never seen martial arts play with his own eyes, and even though he had learned from Garnett that the Timberwolves were playing to get this high school student from Virginia, he didn't cast any more eyes on martial arts out of curiosity.

Today, in fact, it was the first time he met Wu Dao.

With just one goal, Martial Arts has already impressed Marbury.

The people present are already old fritters in basketball, and the strength of the opponent does not need to be measured for more than ten or twenty minutes.

Many talented players only need one or two games to get into the eyes of the fans, and often in one or two games, the players only have a few minutes of actual possession of the ball.

This feeling is like when you are shaking Y, watching the young steel bullet play, and watching the young Ke Ran play does not take much time at all, and you can quickly distinguish the strength and weakness of the player.

In the middle of the court, the players of the white team quickly retreated, and Chris Kyle, who had just sent a pass to Takemi, couldn't help but turn his head and look at Takemi, who was standing on the side of the bull horn defense, after he was in position.

This young rookie seems to be quite sharp!

The Green team quickly organized an attack, and the rookie was able to put the ball into the net with such ease in front of Tom Gugliotta, although it was somewhat unexpected.

But this kind of ball is impossible to affect their mentality at all.

Tom Gugliotta, who faced Martial Arts directly, was even more enraged by Martial Arts' goal and quickly got into the game.

As an NBA "star", he is also the team's offensive arrowhead, and the team's leader.

Tom Gugliotta is also quite temperamental, and after his teammates entered the front court one after another, he immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball from Marbury, who was advancing with the ball.

Marbury's original intention was to play one according to the situation, after all, his opponent was elderly Terry Burt, and Marbury wanted to see the opponent as a breakthrough and attack it well.

After all, Terry Burt is too old to keep up with the young Marbury.

It's just that when he saw Tom Gugliotta asking for the ball, Marbury was too embarrassed not to give it, no way, even if he is a rational person who plays football, sometimes he can't erase human basketball.

With a simple crotch dribble close to the top of the arc, Marbury was ready to play the ball to Tom Gogliotta, but Terry Burt, who was veteran in defense, quickly scrambled to intercept Marbury a second before he tried to get the ball out.

Marbury also subconsciously grabbed the ball and lifted it, avoiding Terry Burt's steal, and at the same time, he quickly released the ball and headed the ball towards Garnett, who was standing in the middle distance at this time.

At Marbury's level, many movements can be performed without going through the brain.

Garnett, who received the ball in the middle distance, faced the big meat shield Stanley Roberts directly and hit the ball back, after a bomb on the confrontation, Garnett directly turned and accelerated the rush, directly past Stanley Roberts, into the inside, and then poured the ball into the basket with one hand.

I have to say that Stanley Roberts's meat shield is really slow, and he didn't keep up with Garnett's movements at all, and watched Garnett score a dunk.

Garnett, who has been in the team for two years, is obviously a lot more "cheerful", and when he scored a goal, he passed by Takemichi and provoked Takemi:

"Hey, rookie, try to break through to the inside line to score!"

"It can't be that there is no way to break through Tom, right?"

"Ahh Speaking of which, letting you break through Tom's defense as a rookie is really embarrassing for you. ”

"Listen, this is the NBA, not the high school league."

"Here, you have to learn to know where you are!"

Garnett's words have changed a lot, and there is a considerable difference from when Martial Arts first met each other.

It can be seen that Garnett, who has been smooth sailing in the Timberwolves in recent years, will really regard the team as his home.

And he has officially put himself in the right position and sees himself as the master of the family.

Unlike when he met Garnett before, the other party's words were less subtle, and now Garnett has given martial arts a strong old hooligan demeanor.

Garnett, who has established himself in the Timberwolves, has already used himself as a green onion.

“???”

"Who are you?"

In the face of Garnett's ridicule, Wu Dao tilted his head, with a somewhat contemptuous tone in his tone, and asked.

Martial Arts needs this game to establish its position, and it won't do it any good.

When Garnett heard this, he couldn't help but pause when he was about to leave, and then he heard two more words from the mouth of the martial arts:

"I'm sorry! I don't usually remember the names of my losers. ”

There are actually loopholes in the words of martial arts, after all, if he really doesn't know the other party, how can he remember that the other party is his own defeated general.

It's just that the current Garnett can't calmly find any loopholes in the words of the martial arts.

Being so provoked by a high school student who had just entered the league, Garnett's face suddenly sank.

"My name is Kevin Garnett."

"I think you'll remember my name soon."

"After all, you'll need to help me get my sneakers from time to time!"

With that, Garnett quickly ran away and returned to the field to defend.

In the moment when the two were stimulating each other, the white team's defender Chris Kyle had already crossed the halfway line with the ball.

Takeshi picked up his pace, taking a few seconds into the front court just seconds after Chris Kyle entered the frontcourt.

Seeing the arrival of martial arts, Chris Kyle changed the rhythm of the dribble and was ready to use the breakthrough to find an offensive opportunity for his team.

As mentioned before, Chris Kyle is a defender with "no big problems", although his individual strength does not explode, but he understands the basic truth of waiting for everyone to attack again.

What's more, Chris Kyle has been vaguely aware that this practice match seems to be prepared for this new rookie.

In the NBA, there is a phenomenon that is very different from the CBA, in the NBA, the rookies with high picks are often the cornerstone of the team's building in the next five years.

Therefore, when many high-ranking rookies enter the team, they often have a relatively high team status, especially in weak teams.

However, in the CBA, judging from the development of rookies in previous drafts, rookies are not valued by the team, and even the development resources will not be tilted towards rookies.

But something is different in the NBA, and even if the rookie doesn't have a great improvisation when he enters the team, the team will often put some effort into the high-pick rookie.

After confirming that the rookie can't play, he will give up.

is like the well-known "parallel import" Kwame Brown, who also played for 4 years with the Wizards, and his average playing time per game changed from 14 minutes at the beginning to 22 minutes, then to 30 minutes, and he also averaged 21 minutes per game in the last season of the Wizards.

After going to the Lakers, the average playing time per game is more than 25 minutes, although the statistics he played are not worthy of the top status, but the team gives him a lot of opportunities.

If you're the kind of champion who is already in the limelight, like Duncan and Ah Tan, as soon as you enter the team, you become the real cornerstone of the team!

Although the martial arts pick is only the fifth pick in the first round, in Chris Kyle's view, this may be the team's future big brother.

With this thought in his heart, Chris Kyle held the ball himself and tried to break through a little, and after seeing that the opponent was not obviously out of position, he immediately gave the ball to the side of the martial arts.

Martial Arts is accustomed to standing outside the three-point line on the right side of the horn to catch the ball, and after the basketball is in hand, Takedo holds the ball in both hands and sinks the ball between his knees.

Although Martial Arts has been playing high school games all these years, he has played more games and met more opponents, and Martial Arts has become smarter when he is one-on-one on the field.

If he was before, no matter what kind of opponent he was facing, he would be finished pulling after accelerating the breakthrough, or he would have pulled it out after some feints.

But now, Martial Arts has learned how to use his strengths to fight the opponent's disadvantages.

A player of the height of Tom Gugliotta is actually easy to be interfered with by the opponent's defense directly against the opponent's defense.

To play this kind of player, you have to find a way to lower the opponent's center of gravity.

Once the center of gravity of a player of this height is lowered, it is not easy to lift it back, and the effect is completely different after mobilizing the opponent's center of gravity!

"Smack!"

As Martial Arts landed the ball, Martial Arts who held the ball also accelerated towards his right side.

Although martial arts is also the kind of ball-holding player who is tall and big, when he breaks through, he can press his center of gravity very low, and at the same time, the stride length when breaking through martial arts is also very large, with his explosive power, making the first step of martial arts extremely fast.

I have to say that this kind of body coordination and athleticism is also a demonstration of martial arts talent.

In order to be able to keep up with the speed of the martial arts, Tom Gugliotta naturally had to change from a sliding step to a pursuit step.

To put it simply, the sliding step is the crab step, and the pursuit step is the footsteps of the player when he runs normally. In the face of a martial arts breakthrough, relying on sliding steps, Tom Gugliotta has no way to keep up!

"Squeak!!!

A piercing grinding sound sounded, and Wu Dao, who was quickly sprinting and holding the ball across the three-point line, suddenly came to a sharp stop, and there was a violent sound between the shoes and the floor.

At the moment when the emergency stop in front of the body was disguised, Wu Dao also took advantage of the situation to give Tom Gugliotta some confrontation, which made the pursuing Tom Gugliotta unable to stop at the first time, and after Wu Dao stopped, he still rushed two steps before he barely stopped.

However, at this time, the martial arts that had completed the change of direction had already re-accelerated, directly past Tom Gugliotta, and killed towards the inside line.

Although there is plenty of time and space for martial arts to project after opening Tom Gugliotta, how can he not respond in the face of Garnett's provocation!

With one foot on the free throw line, Wu Dao grabbed the ball directly and jumped, raised the basketball in his right hand, and glided towards the basket.

Garnett, who was guarding the basket, saw that Wu Dao was about to dunk violently, and he was not to be outdone, and raised his hands to jump on the spot to block the block.

The bodies of the two collided directly in the air, and the dangerous collision made the team management on the sidelines stand up.

The moment Martial Arts and Garnett's bodies collided, Martial Arts' momentum of gliding forward decreased, and Garnett was also a little unbalanced after feeling a huge force in his chest, and there was a huge deviation in the direction of the block.

However, after the physical confrontation in the air, Wu Dao still dunked the ball to the rebound with one hand, and the basketball smashed directly into the center of the black basket of the rebound, and then rebounded into the basket.

Garnett, who landed on the ground, staggered two steps and stood firm, quickly looked up at the basket, happened to see the basketball falling from the net, and saw Wu Dao score the ball, Garnett's face suddenly showed a stunned expression.

In the stadium, everyone looked at the martial arts that fell back to the ground in a bit of a daze, and on the side of the court, after a short silence, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted.

Team owner Glenn Taylor was the most out of his temper, and after seeing this "buckle" of Martial Arts, he patted his thigh and jumped up from his seat, waving his arms excitedly.

Coach Philip Saunders opened his mouth, and then immediately his face was full of smiles, and his joy blossomed.

"Coach Philip, before the start of this season, you pay more attention to the kid Wudao, and design several sets of tactics around him according to his style characteristics."

"Use it in the preseason, and if it works, get him right in the regular season."

"I think the era of our timberwolves is coming!"

Glenn Taylor is a radical man, and you can interpret his aggressiveness as boldness, even though martial arts has not played even a single game in the NBA today.

But Glenn Taylor, who watched the two rounds of martial arts, was already completely impressed by the talent of martial arts.

"Okay, boss."

Compared with the "layman" of the team owner, Philip Saunders was much calmer while he was happy, and although he promised, he did not immediately make up his mind to correct the martial arts.

Two balls are not enough, he also needs to see if there is any fatal weakness on Wu Dao's body.

To see if a player is qualified, it is not just to see whether the opponent's physical fitness is strong enough.

If playing is based solely on physical fitness, then Kwame Brown would not be a parallel import.

The game in the field continued, whether it was Tom who was easily preserved by the martial arts, or Garnett, who was separated by the martial arts, at this time the two had a common goal in their hearts.

That's to let that high school student know how good they are!

They will never allow a high school student to do whatever they want on their head.

Under the strong performance of Martial Arts, both men felt that their team status was shaking violently.

Alternating offense and defense, although Marbury was shocked by Wudao's two consecutive attacks, and he was happy that his team had this terrible reinforcement, but the shock was shocked, and the joy was happy, and Marbury was still not soft at all.

Ignoring Tom's outside request to try to play alone, Marbury made a simple acceleration break, quickly crossed the three-point line, quickly turned around when Terry Sr. chased up, instantly passed the opponent and killed the basket, and then under the siege and interception of the two interior players of the white team, a ground-hitting pass gave the ball to the empty Garnett.

The basketball started, Garnett took advantage of the situation, smashed the ball into the basket with both hands, he seemed to vent the anger in his heart, and when he dunked, he also let out a loud shout, which looked full of momentum.

"Huh?"

Before there was time to celebrate Garnett's dunk, Cherokee Parkes suddenly saw that one of his team's players had started to run to the frontcourt.

Realizing the opportunity, he quickly took the ball to the bottom line, sent it quickly, and threw the ball directly to the front court.

At this time, Wu Dao had already crossed the halfway line and was rushing towards the basket of the green team. Behind him, Tom Gogliotta followed closely, not letting himself be thrown away.

"Smack!"

The basketball fell in front of Wu Dao, and the moment it rebounded, it was directly held in Wu Dao's hand, and he was also approaching the top of the arc at this time.

Taking advantage of the martial arts to slow down and get the ball, Tom Gugliotta also quickly bypassed the martial arts and came to the front of the martial arts, and stretched out his arms to make a posture of letting go.

After Wu Dao got the ball, he dribbled directly to the three-point line at the top of the arc, raised his head slightly, and looked at the basket with a virtual ball.

"Three-point !!"

Tom Gugliotta reacted very much after noticing Martial Dao's movements, although it has been a long time since the last time he fought Martial Dao, but the style of martial arts has already been deeply engraved in Tom Gugliotta's mind.

The moment he saw the martial arts moves, Tom Gugliotta also immediately moved, and he stepped forward with an arrow to block.

However, when he stepped forward, Takeshi was short and accelerated directly with the ball, leaving Tom Gugliotta behind.

Wu Dao, who quickly entered the basket, even "looked back at the moon", turned his head to look at Tom Gugliotta, and saw that the other party did not catch up, so he jumped directly at a distance of one meter from the basket, and came to a 360° turn in the air to split the dunk.

The moment the basketball entered the net, the sound of gasping was already heard on the sidelines.

“holy shit!”

On the sidelines, the Timberwolves guard watching the game, Rejay Jordan, took a deep breath, grabbed his hair, and let out a low sigh.

In nearly 30 years on the court, it was the first time he had seen a high school student play like this on the court.

Tom Gugliotta, who came off the All-Star bench, became the backdrop for the young man at this moment.

In less than two minutes of the opening game, the three attacks led by the rookie were all scored smoothly.

And Wudao's individual score also came to 6 points.

"Don't be surprised, this is just the beginning!"

Wu Dao glanced at the Timberwolves management who had stood up from their seats, and said secretly in his heart.

He wants to use this ball to completely capture the management of the Timberwolves!
