Chapter 566: Spearman, Veteran of Pawn Order!
Jinguji Takemichi stood on the sidelines and walked to the court with the other players, and the spectators in the stands saw Takemichi walking out of the rest area, and immediately erupted in amazing cheers.
"Martial arts!!"
"Martial Arts !!"
The cheers rose one after another, and as the score reversed, Minnesota fans were desperate to see the Timberwolves change.
Because even fans who can't understand the ball can see that as the Spurs overtake the score, the victory that was originally in the hands of the Timberwolves has quietly slipped away for a while.
Fans who were hoping for the team to make changes suddenly had an outlet for their emotions when they saw Martial Arts return to the court.
"What cheers."
"It's hard to imagine that a player with so many fans could be a rookie!"
Around the stadium, the media were also attracted by the amazing sound, and some people slowly shook the camera lens in their hands to film the scene of the fans cheering.
And the commentator of the home stadium of the target center stadium also shouted with excitement at this moment:
"After the timeout, the Timberwolves put the martial arts back on the court again."
"I have to say, it's definitely a pretty smart choice."
As soon as one of the commentators' words fell, the other person directly answered: "If you want me to say, he should have returned to the court a long time ago, even if it is a break, the rest time is inevitably too long." โ
"If Martial Arts was on the court, it would be impossible for the Spurs to chase so many points in front of the Timberwolves!"
"You know, the Spurs don't have players who can guard the martial arts!"
The two commentators sang and harmonized, and the cheers of the fans slowly subsided until all the players entered.
Timberwolves' ball possession.
The person who served the ball in the backcourt was Takemichi, and after giving the ball to Marbury, Takemichi quickly crossed Marbury and ran towards the front court.
The Spurs' defensive martial arts man is still the "old rival", Chuck Person, this veteran did his best in today's game, and he has to face the Timberwolves' arrowhead all the time throughout the game, and there is no time to rest.
At the moment of the pause, Chuck Persson could already feel a strong tingling sensation in his legs, but even so, Chuck Persson still didn't say a word to Popovich.
Some players in this era always have an "iron blood" spirit, unless they really can't run, they will never complain more.
Looking at the slowly approaching martial arts, Chuck Person's expression was quite serious, Marbury dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and after observing the Spurs' defensive lineup, he chose to give the ball to the side of the martial arts.
Although Marbury is also a sophomore rookie, he knows very well what the coach is doing when he puts martial arts on the court in this game.
It is true that Wu Dao is just a first-year rookie who has played a few games, but with absolute strength, such a thing as seniority will not be an unbreakable barrier.
What happened to the ball for first grade?
Isn't it reasonable?!
The basketball started, Wu Dao dropped the ball directly, his front and back legs were slightly staggered, and he did a simple low-altitude crotch dribble, and did not immediately attack.
He's been sitting on the sidelines for a bit longer and needs to hold the ball for a while to get a feel.
As soon as I looked for it, I was looking for it for four or five seconds.
But even after holding the ball for such a long time, the Timberwolves players still ran patiently and did not have any intention of urging. And the head coach of the Timberwolves on the sidelines, Philip Sanders, also took his hands and looked at the martial arts on the court without saying a word.
The same scene is probably rarely seen in the domestic arena.
Often in domestic games, if the offensive point takes the ball for a while, the coach is already spraying "pass the ball quickly".
It's not that there's anything wrong with this style of play, it's just that it's impossible to cultivate a big core with the ball in this style of play.
What is a ball-holding nucleus?
The offensive core that holds the ball for a long time deserves to be called the ball-holding core.
Imagine a player who has been instilled with the philosophy since childhood: when you get the ball, you go to your teammates and pass it to your teammates.
In such a cultivation environment, how can the so-called ball-holding nucleus be cultivated?
Martial arts is also from college basketball, but whether it was in Xiangbei or Oak Mountain, the coaches he met had one thing in common, that is, when Wudao decided to play, the coach would never say a word of nonsense.
And now, even in the NBA, even if the coach is Philip Saunders from the academy, martial arts has such a "privilege".
Martial Arts held the ball for a long time, and the fans in the stands were also very quiet, watching with bated breath as Martial Arts confronted Chuck Person in the stadium.
Around the stadium, the media's cameras focused on Martial Arts early.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, the rhythm of Wu Dao, who was dribbling the ball in low air, suddenly changed, and as the basketball was pulled up significantly, Wu Dao's arms were also stretched.
Wu Dao stretched out his arms, and his hands also made a rapid movement, and the basketball he pulled up fell quickly, smashing directly in front of Chuck Person's toes, and rebounded, at the same time, Wu Dao also accelerated directly after a large change of direction, and only one step, directly left Chuck Person behind.
The speed of the rushing martial arts was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to the paint area, and in the face of Duncan's supplementary defense, the martial arts also slowed down the rhythm after the ball, and jumped in the direction after a big stride.
Duncan's sense of co-defense is quite good, and the bounce is also terrifying, and the raised arm is directly aimed at the basketball in the martial arts hand, and it is slapped hard.
However, Martial Arts in mid-air was curled up when the block was about to come, directly avoiding Duncan's block, and the moment the figure glided past Duncan, Martial Arts also came to the basket, straightened up, and dunked the ball into the basket with his backhand.
"Bang Bang !!"
After a brief silence, cheers poured into the stadium as the sound of slamming slammed into the stadium as the sound of slamming slams through the players at the target center.
"That!! That slam dunk!! โ
"In the air, he can also half-turn and split the buckle, this guy's flexibility and coordination are so strong!"
"That bounce, so high! Can the head still level the basket after pulling the rod? Is this guy really a yellow guy? โ
After the enthusiastic cheers, the fans excitedly discussed with each other. The back of the martial arts ball really shocked everyone, and when the martial arts turned back to defend, the camera lenses of the media also locked on the martial arts.
Seeing the vigorous dunk of martial arts, the media have already finalized the pictures to be used in tomorrow's newspaper.
And the topic of which martial arts and Duncan are stronger or weaker may also be able to be concluded at this stage.
It was clear that even Duncan couldn't stop the young man's attack!
The goal was magnificent, but the score was still only two.
Although the players of the Spurs were also shocked by this goal of Wu Dao, but the game went on to this point, and it was impossible for them to surrender at all.
Spurs' Avery Johnson quickly brought the ball to the front court, then raised his fingers and made a tactical gesture.
Chuck Person, meanwhile, quickly ran to the top of the arc to make a pick-and-roll for Avery Johnson.
In the face of the Spurs' tactical run, Wu Dao didn't even move his position, still standing in the middle distance in the direction of the right horn, and his attention was also on the two players on the inside.
In order to limit Duncan and David Robinson, the Timberwolves have been using shrinking defensive tactics. Although joint defense is not allowed in this era, the players still have a lot to say in terms of tactical movement.
Wu Dao knows that the Spurs' outside attack power is average, and he doesn't care about the outside players at all.
Sure enough, Avery Johnson didn't dare to make a move when he then blocked and moved to the three-point line in the direction of the horns, and then hesitated for a moment before quickly rushing towards the defense of the martial arts.
Avery Johnson is very short, and Wu Dao only calmly follows Avery Johnson's position, and has no intention of making a steal.
And Avery Johnson also planned to force the confrontation after being close, although he worked hard, but he noticed that the martial arts did not move, Avery Johnson still smashed the ball towards the feet of the martial arts and gave it to the inside line.
As soon as Duncan held the ball under the basket, Wu Dao went directly to Duncan and released Avery Johnson.
Duncan saw the martial arts pinch coming up, and without any hesitation, he directly played the ball to Avery Johnson.
The latter takes the ball and shoots directly from the mid-range wide open position.
The basketball flew over the heads of the people under the basket, smashed on the side of the basket, and landed.
"Rebounding!"
The landing point was very poor, on the other side of the martial arts, the martial arts had just made a move, and Duncan actually moved his body directly, blocking the position of the martial arts.
At the same time, the falling basketball was also held in the hands of David Robinson, who picked up the rebound and started the ball a little, and then directly stood up against the defense of Cherokee Parks and sent the ball into the basket.
"Rebound!"
"Protect the backcourt rebound!"
Philip was annoyed to see his team being beaten into a secondary attack.
At such a critical time, how can he tolerate the team making such a low-level mistake.
"Tom, the outside line is gone! Take care to protect the rebound! โ
The Timberwolves began to push back, and Philip shouted loudly into the court.
And Minnesota fans also quickly quieted down as the Timberwolves players pressed closer to the Spurs half.
Marbury held the ball at the top of the arc, only hesitated for a few seconds, and then directly gave the ball to Wu Dao, who was not far away and asked for the ball sideways.
At this time, Wu Dao leaned his back against Chuck Person, stretched out his left hand, and directly grabbed the ball in his hand.
After Wu Dao took the ball, he still didn't sweep the ball to the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand and turned his head slightly, and looked at Chuck Person behind him.
At this time, Chuck Person supported his arms against Takemi's back, with his left foot behind and his right foot in front, beware of Takemi's accelerated advance after turning in order.
Chuck Person knows that the strong side of the martial arts is his right side, so he is very targeted defensively.
Wu Dao's eyes glanced at Chuck Person's feet, and suddenly his body moved, and he directly turned his back and accelerated the ball, flashing past Chuck Person's side in an instant.
Chuck Person's reaction was a little slower, but he still managed to prop up his arms to pull the fast-moving martial arts.
As soon as Chuck Person stretched out his hand, the martial arts in the middle of the march suddenly stunted, and a bad luck directly changed direction. Chuck Person couldn't even do a foul, and he saw the martial arts pass by his eyes.
At the same time, Wu Dao, who quickly crossed Chuck Person, did not continue to force the inside, but made a pull-up jump shot in the middle range.
The basketball swiped directly into the net with a crisp sound.
The chic back turn, dexterous back luck, and elegant shooting movements were recorded one by one by the cameras on the sidelines.
In the face of the martial arts with excellent ball ability and long masters, the elderly Chuck Person couldn't help but have a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart, and looked at the martial arts who began to run back to defend, and was a little frustrated.
With two goals in a row, Chuck Person has deeply felt the malice of this world.
He knew very well that he couldn't defend against the Timberwolves' first-year grader at all.
Chuck Person looked up at Popovich on the side of the court, thinking about asking the coach to arrange for Duncan to help him make up the defense, but when he turned his head to meet Popovich's gaze, he was stunned.
Popovich saw Chuck Person's gaze and gestured a "three" on his chest.
Seeing this gesture, Chuck Person nodded and ran slowly towards the front.
The Riflemanใ
Meaning the Lancer, which was the accolade given to him by the fans when Chuck Person was at his peak.
There is no need to elaborate on what it means.
Three-point shooting and long-range shooting have always been Chuck Person's proudest weapons, but as he entered the final years of his career, his weapons also rusted.
Back then, Chuck Person was a troll, with a bad personality like Jordan and Garnett.
But in the confrontation with the martial arts, his other weapon "trash talk" is useless.
He is deflated everywhere, and he can't find an angle to use trash talk as a "cut-in". Trash talk in the face of a guy who can wrecklessly slash at his own head, trash talk will only humiliate Chuck Person himself.
Chuck Person thought that he would only be able to contribute to the team on the defensive end, but now Popovich has given him the opportunity to show himself.
Bet on three points.
In this situation, the Spurs are ready to "fight" with the Timberwolves!
The Spurs advanced at a very slow pace, highlighting a steady, and the twin towers also entered the interior early. Chuck Person called out Avery Johnson's name as he ran forward, then made a tactical gesture.
The latter was slightly surprised by the tactical gesture and turned his head to look at Popovich on the sidelines.
The latter nodded slightly when he saw the player's gaze.
Avery Johnson, who knew it in his heart, stopped talking nonsense, and quickly asked for a block after approaching the top of the arc.
Chuck Person, meanwhile, also ran quickly, and after a screen, Marbury followed Avery Johnson with the ball, while Chuck Person was open at the top of the arc.
"Whew!"
The basketball came out quickly and was pinpointed to Chuck Person.
The latter took the ball, adjusted his stance slightly, and then shot directly.
Wu Dao just raised his hand symbolically, and when he saw the ball road, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Whew!!"
With the crisp sound of the net, the Spurs' bench suddenly boiled.
Chuck Person, who scored the goal, also made a fist with one hand and a determined look in his eyes.
Wu Dao saw Chuck Person's determined gaze, the corners of his mouth opened and he smiled happily.
"Three points, huh?!"
