Chapter 607: My Own Jordan!
From the early '90s to the mid-'90s, the Pacers were a tough team, and among the many playoff teams, the Pacers were a team that deserved to be named.
But it's a pity that in the NBA in the 90s, there was only one protagonist, and that was the Bulls led by Michael.
Reggie Miller is a superstar, there is no doubt about that, but now he still has a bit of strength at his peak, so it will be a matter of opinion.
In the eyes of Martial Arts, Reggie Miller was born in the wrong era, and many people commented that this player was a "superstar goalkeeper", but in Martial Arts' view, Reggie Miller was a player with distinctive characteristics and strength even among many stars in the 90s.
In this era when high-level data is not common, Reggie Miller is underestimated by the vast majority of people.
In the middle of the pitch, the offense and defense alternate.
Garnett on the Timberwolves' side successfully got an open shooting opportunity in the high post after lifting the pick-and-roll.
When Takedo broke through with the help of a pick-and-roll, Reggie Miller, Dale Davis and Rick Schmitz blocked Takemi's offensive line from three directions.
Under the sandwich defense of three people, Takemichi did not choose to attack by himself, but gave the ball to Garnett, who was in the open space on the outside, with a back pass.
The latter took the ball high and shot directly, but his shot was directly sliding out of the basket.
It's so far from the basket that Garnett only needs to take a step back to get to the three-point line. Only players in this era will shoot in inefficient areas, and players in the small-ball era will definitely choose to shoot three-pointers.
"Bell~"
After a crisp sound, the basketball collapsed directly out of the basket and was held by Rick Schmitz under the basket. However, as soon as the basketball was in his hands, Ben Wallace sprang out of his side and slapped the basketball hard, knocking the ball out of Rick Schmitz's hand.
Without waiting for Rick Schmitz to react, Ben Wallace took a leap and slammed the ball towards Garnett on the outside.
Garnett took the ball, dribbled forward, and then took a shot.
It seems that he himself realizes that his shooting position is a little far away from the basket.
"Huh!"
This time, without any surprises, Garnett's basketball went straight into the net with a crisp sound.
Ben Wallace's aggressive scramble made Garnett look at Wallace a few more times, not to mention, this new teammate is really pleasing to the eye.
People who work hard will be popular everywhere.
After the Timberwolves scored, the Pacers' side also quickly moved, and their attack found Rick Schmitz, who was a high post planner, who received the ball at the side of the free throw line, did not rush out of the ball, took a quick look, and then gave the ball to Reggie Miller, who cut into the basket with no ball cover.
The latter happened to slip to the bottom line and came to the basket, and after taking the ball, he didn't look at the basket, and directly sent the ball out with a counter-basket.
And the martial arts that pursued him, but after being blocked by Rick Schmitz, he encountered a delay in Dale Davis's blocking, which made him lose the possibility of blocking Miller.
"It's not slippery."
The defense failed, and Takemichi glanced at Reggie Miller, who was returning to the defense, and quickly followed up and ran to the frontcourt. From the beginning of the league to the present, the most tricky feeling of martial arts is this Reggie Miller.
Other opposing players he has encountered often have a lot of ball-holding singles, but Wudao is actually the most worthy of ball-holding singles, and his physical fitness is not bad in the No. 3 position, and most of the players are not even as strong as him.
If you want to beat the martial arts one-on-one, it is a very difficult and difficult thing, the whole game is not a heads-up, even if a wing player wants to be one-on-one, his space for display is actually quite limited, after all, the opponent is not wood, and he will not stand still stupidly.
Therefore, Wu Dao only needs to pay attention not to be overtaken by one step, not to be shot by the opponent in the face, and his defense will be successful.
Because of this, many opponents with strong ball possession encountered by Martial Arts could not play a very bright performance in front of Martial Arts.
But Reggie Miller and the opponents that Takeshi has encountered are very different, on the offensive end, Reggie Miller doesn't take the ball much at all, and he seems to know that his ball-holding offensive level is average, so he simply doesn't hold the ball, and it is completely off-the-ball play.
And Reggie Miller is very good at using the cover of his teammates, this team of Pacers players has also been running in for many years, and the cooperation between each other is also quite tacit, even if the martial arts are fast, explosive, and powerful, they have not been able to stick to Reggie Miller, so that Reggie Miller has a lot of projection opportunities.
Thinking about how to deal with Reggie Miller, Takemichi soon came to the front.
As Marbury crossed the halfway line with the ball, Ben Wallace, who was in the right half, began to move his feet again and leaned towards Budo.
Marbury noticed it, and gave the ball to Martial Arts early, and as soon as the basketball was in his hands, Ben Wallace was about to speed up to block the demolition, when he saw Martial Arts wave his hand and signal Wallace to stop and pull away.
Seeing the movements of the martial arts, Wallace was stunned, and he didn't talk nonsense, and immediately retreated along the bottom line, and by the way, he also attracted the attention of Dale Davis, so that Dale Davis stood in front of the bottom line on the side of the paint area.
Garnett also understood, and withdrew a little from the inside line, and all of a sudden, the range of a few meters behind Reggie Miller became empty.
The audience saw that Wu Dao was preparing to single Reggie Miller, and this meeting immediately burst into cheers, and the fans happily blew the hooligan whistle, looking excited.
Slippery on the offensive end, right?
Then let the opponent have to face his attack head-on.
Normal players can only bear the same offense and defense, unless they are physical monsters like Jordan and Kobe, they can have a voice on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
The vast majority of players, like Maddie, can only focus on attack and defense, because people's physical ability is limited, and their energy is limited.
Even people like Martial Arts have a clear focus. His defense is only aimed at the person he is responsible for, and as for other opponents, Martial Arts only occasionally helps.
Young martial arts are like this, not to mention Reggie Miller, a 32-year-old older player.
Wu Dao, who received the ball sideways, did not mean to sweep the ball at all, and then with the ball, his back smashed on Reggie Miller's body, and the huge force made Reggie Miller's whole person fly.
Reggie Miller in mid-air maintained the movement of leaning forward, although the power of the martial arts surprised him, but his posture was very good, and he immediately exerted his strength again after landing. There was no way, because he had just landed, and the martial arts after a bombing attack hit again.
And this time, Wu Dao directly turned around and accelerated, directly passing Reggie Miller.
Approaching the paint, Takedo was caught by the Pacers, and this time, Takedo only took a slight leap and sent the basketball into the net.
Easily passed Reggie Miller and scored points above the opponent's head, and the Minnesota audience burst into amazing cheers.
Reggie Miller is not a cat or a dog, he is the creator of the "Miller moment".
In the United States, Reggie Miller's fame is also quite big, well, Miller moments are to Reggie Miller, just like "35.13 minutes" is to Maddie.
are all brilliant performances that people talk about, and the vast majority of fans know Reggie Miller as "Mr. Key".
But it's clear that Mr. Key for the Pacers seems to be about to be by their young wolf king of the Timberwolves.
The cheers of the spectators in the stands were shocking, but Coach Philip on the sidelines had an indifferent expression.
"Reggie Miller was beaten by Martial Arts, and this is a matter of course!"
"There is an absolute gap in physical fitness, and there is no difference between one-on-one martial arts and food delivery."
"What's more, martial arts is a technical stream!"
"He's not a Fauvist, he only plays with his body!"
Seeing Reggie Miller being by the martial arts, Coach Philip laughed secretly in his heart, he knew that after today's game, there would be one more star who was trampled under the feet of the martial arts!
"!!Shh
Coach Philip thought so in his heart, but a crisp sound in the stadium pulled him back to reality.
Reggie Miller slipped into the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer that sent the sound down a few degrees in the center of the target.
The exhausted martial arts chased after him, and jumped high more than a meter away at the moment when Miller made a move, blocking the interference, but this time, he was too far away.
The basketball flew above the fingertips of Wu Dao, and obviously, Miller also noticed the terrifying bounce of Wu Dao, and the arc was deliberately raised a lot when he shot.
The basketball seemed to fly in the air for a long time before falling straight into the net.
Miller, who scored the goal, heard the cries from the stands weakening, with a bright smile on his face, and when he ran back to the halfway line, he suddenly stopped and bowed "gentlemanly" in the direction of the Timberwolves' basket, as if to thank the Timberwolves for his open basket.
It was obviously a somewhat nonsensical action, but it directly ignited the anger of Minnesota fans.
"f**k, this is a taunt, right?!"
"This is a provocation!!"
The fans were in a fierce mood, shouting and shouting, and for a while, the stands became very noisy. At the same time, some spectators in the front row on the edge of the court blushed and roared towards Martial Arts:
"Hey, Wu, kick him in the ass!"
"Let that bastard learn respect!"
I don't know when it started, the fans of the Timberwolves, a team that has missed the playoffs for many years, already have a strong sense of self-esteem and know to respect.
Perhaps, it was the Timberwolves' 12-2 record at the beginning of the season that gave them confidence; Perhaps, it was the terrifying performance of the young martial arts who averaged 30+ nearly 40 points per game that gave them confidence.
In short, at this moment, Martial Arts has high hopes from Minnesota fans.
In the face of the excited fans at the target center, Reggie Miller only felt the blood boiling in his chest, and he loved the feeling of being watched and hated.
If one day he can't make his opponent's fans feel resentful, then it's probably time for him to leave the stadium.
Reggie Miller, who returned to his own half, had a big smile on his face and looked at the fast-approaching Timberwolves.
Wu Dao's face didn't show much emotion, and he just stepped into the front court. Garnett scolded and looked unhappy, and he seemed to be infected by the emotions of the fans.
Reggie Miller glanced at Garnett, looked at the martial arts who came to him, and suddenly said:
"Newcomer, you seem to be very beloved in Minnesota?"
"But I'm sorry, I think you might have to let down your fan friends."
"You can't stop me."
Reggie Miller shook his finger slightly, and the referee on the sidelines of the Timberwolves did not say anything when he saw such a move, and he had no intention of awarding a technical foul at all.
Well, the reason.
It's very simple, they have blown a lot of home balls, and everyone who provokes martial arts, the final result is not very good.
Reggie Miller is probably hardly an exception.
"Four guarantees and one, I really can't prevent it."
"But don't you just as much as you can't guard me?"
Martial Arts said, leaning on the side of Reggie Miller, reaching out for the ball, Marbury didn't talk nonsense, and quickly gave the ball to Martial Arts.
Starting with the basketball, Wu Dao quickly turned around and swept the ball to the basket, took a tentative step, and then quickly raised his hand.
Martial arts' movements immediately aroused the alarm of Reggie Miller, who knew something about martial arts and knew that this was a player with three-point ability.
As soon as the center of gravity was raised, Reggie Miller's hand had just been raised, and Wu Dao quickly got off the ball, and after a step of horizontal bombing, he immediately pulled out his hand against the three-point line.
The excellent rhythm, smooth movements, and beautiful projection movements, a series of movements of martial arts, were immediately recorded by the cameras on the sidelines.
"Whew!!"
With a crisp sound, Wu Dao spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile:
'You see, scoring goals in front of you, it's like that's easy.
Wu Dao's words clearly reached the ears of some fans who were close. Although the few front-row spectators who heard this in the audience were dressed in straight suits and looked like elites, they also stood up from their chairs with some gaffes at this time, applauded vigorously, and shouted loudly:
"Good shot!"
"Just hit that guy like that, blow that guy up! Military! ”
That's when Minnesota fans really felt the feeling of having a super scorer on the team who could hit the ball.
In previous games, Marbury, Garnett, and Tom were all outstanding, and Garnett also had that flamboyant personality. But their performance on the field was not as easy to mobilize the audience's emotions as martial arts.
The way they respond to their opponents on the pitch often feels unsatisfactory.
Maybe it's because their style of play is too "solid" and it feels very regular.
But martial arts are different, his style of play is much more "flamboyant" than Garnett, and he is chic and gorgeous, which can easily mobilize the emotions of the audience.
In the words of some fans – "Vu is our Minnesota's own Jordan!" ”。
