Chapter 619: Techniques of the Small Ball Era!
Jordan and Wu Dao scored one after another, both of which successfully made the numbers on their team's scoreboard jump.
And Jordan's difficult goal, as well as the gorgeous response ball of Wu Dao, also made the atmosphere in the target center arena warm.
The crowd's cheers poured into the court, and it wasn't until Bulls point guard Ron Harper dribbled into the front court that the cheers of the crowd slowly subsided.
The Timberwolves' defense in the previous round was quite successful in theory, and Wudao's single defense also successfully forced Jordan to use a difficult finishing method to shoot.
Although the ball still went in, this round, the Timberwolves did not mean to adjust their defensive strategy.
It was still the other four players who contracted the defensive line, and Takeshi was responsible for guarding Jordan alone.
In the face of Wudao's defense, this time Jordan obviously planned to change his playing style, and in the previous round of attack, his back play had already tested the strength of Wudao. A mature player like Jordan naturally knows very well how to get out of that extreme situation.
After Jordan was close to the elbow area, he quickly started and tried to cross the martial arts, but the martial arts chased tightly, and while Jordan crossed the three-point line, the martial arts also smoothly stuck to Jordan's side. In the face of the sticky defense, Jordan quickly turned to the side, turned around and carried the basket in an instant, and then stuck Wudao behind him with a backhand
Ron Harper, who holds the ball on the outside, also reacts quite quickly, he is half a head taller than Marbury, and in front of Marbury, Ron Harper can choose his "passing position" at will.
With a simple small high toss, the basketball quickly crossed over Marbury's head and fell into Jordan's hands.
After watching the ball, Jordan quickly swept the ball basket, straightened up, and after the basketball in his hand quickly shook, he immediately dropped the ball with his left hand, and his body leaned on Wu Dao's body, as if he was planning to force the inside line.
Martial Arts naturally can't put Jordan in like this, although he knows that the inside line has Garnett to supplement the defense, but Wu Dao knows too well how lethal Jordan is to the inside line after he starts.
Fancy layups near the basket point are also one of Jordan's specialties, and in the second half of his career, although the number of strong basket attacks has decreased a lot compared to when he was younger, it is still one of his strongest offensive methods.
In fact, throughout Jordan's entire career, if there is any weakness in this basketball god, then I am afraid that there is only one project, three-point shooting.
But in the NBA league in this era, the three-point shot is not so accurate, and it can't be considered a weakness.
In fact, Jordan's three-point shot is not bad, and among the many attackers in the nineties, his three-point shot is also good.
In the court, Jordan relied on his excellent strength, squeezed Wu Dao's defense, and hit the basket strongly, and under the fierce physical confrontation, Wu Dao could only move sideways to prevent himself from being riddled by Jordan.
However, just as Jordan was approaching the paint area, Garnett also involuntarily left the inside line, and at the same time, after another dribble, Jordan closed the ball with his feet, and the power of the impact on Wu Dao's body was also a point greater.
Sensing Jordan's movements, Wu Dao also instantly understood Jordan's intentions, and while raising his center of gravity, he also quickly reached out to the top of Jordan's head.
In the face of Wudao's pun, Jordan jumped lightly, leaned back, and the basketball in his hand was quickly thrown towards the back of Wudao.
It's throwing, not throwing.
"Passing?!" Wu Dao quickly looked back, and happened to see Tony Cooke slip the baseline into the basket, receive Jordan's pass in the air, and then grab the ball with both hands and pour the ball into the basket.
"Bang Bang !!"
As a loud bang rang out in the middle of the court, so did the Timberwolves' basket.
"Oh~"
Cook, who received a dunk in the air, actually screamed with a little excitement, stretched out his hand and pointed at Jordan, and after receiving Jordan's smile in response, the Bulls began to quickly retreat towards the backcourt.
"When did you drill ......?"
Cooke's cut, not to mention that Martial Arts didn't find it, and even Garnett didn't find it. The two looked at Tom one after another, and Tom raised his hand slightly embarrassed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, mine." ”
"Let the hair slip in."
However, Wu Dao didn't actually mean to blame Tom, and waved his hand after getting Tom's signal. He was just amazed at Jordan's vision.
When Jordan broke through just now, Wu Dao's eyes were always on Jordan's body, normally speaking, Jordan's should not be able to see Cook Cuck, who slipped into the inner line, because Wu Dao's body greatly obscured Jordan's vision.
At the same time, Garnett, who is making up the defense, will also block Jordan's vision.
When fans watch the game, don't they always ask, "Eh, isn't that player vacant?" Why not pass on! ”
In fact, for players, many times it is not that they do not pass the point guard, but that they are on the court at the time, and they can't see their teammates in the empty seats at all.
The view of the stadium sounds like it's just a sentence, nothing spectacular
However, it is not easy to find an opponent who has repeatedly and accurately found open positions in the fierce competition.
And it is precisely because of this that there is a need for more cooperation between players and players, and more running tactics are needed.
Because only in this way can it be possible to clearly know which teammates are when and where to appear when their careers are blocked!
Jordan's goal was not only because of his good vision, but also because he cooperated with his teammates a lot, and he knew that his teammates were very likely to appear in that kind of place.
The Bulls' open dunk greatly boosted the morale of the Bulls, even though they themselves were high......
In the face of the powerful Bulls, the Timberwolves are naturally not to be outdone.
After Marbury got the basketball in the backcourt, he also quickly drove the ball to the frontcourt, and the speed and rhythm of the advance were much faster than usual.
Obviously, after seeing the Bulls' outstanding performance, Marbury also wants to perform well in front of fans and media.
Quickly dribbling the ball into the frontcourt, Marbury raised his hand and signaled to his teammates, Garnett immediately understood and quickly pulled to the outside to cover Marbury.
Garnett, who gave the pick-and-roll, also attracted Rodman. Marbury also broke through with the ball after Garnett's block was in place, but as he dropped the ball and rushed forward, the Bulls' Ron Harper and Rodman also quickly completed the switch.
Ron Harper raised his weight and arms high, interfering with Garnett's vision.
Ron Harper, who is 198cm tall, gives him the capital to interfere with Garnett's handling of the ball when defending him.
Although his weight is far inferior to Garnett, weight can only have some effect when he is beaten in the low position and the face frame is impacted.
In this position, with Garnett's technical conditions, even if he hits the basket strongly, the final finishing method will be a rollover and back-to-back jumper.
Garnett has been in the league for two seasons, and now in his third season, his technical characteristics have long been studied "thoroughly".
Sure enough, in the face of Ron Harper's defense, Garnett had no intention of shooting in this position, and quickly raised the ball a little, and Garnett dropped the ball with his right hand and quickly advanced.
But as Garnett accelerated his advance, Ron Harper was chasing the defense at the same time, and Rodman, who was chasing Marbury, also looked back at Garnett at this moment, jamming the passing route, while Rodman also used a kind of impatient gaze, so that Garnett chose to give up and continue to attack the inside.
Relying on his height and long arms, Garnett quickly combined the ball, and after a strong push on Ron Harper, he took a step before the free throw line and made a jumper.
Well! The action of shooting is smooth.
"Bell~" and with a soft sound, Ron Harper and Luke Longley quickly stuck Garnett and Cherokee Parkes, while Rodman quickly entered the basket, jumped up and grabbed the ball in his hand with a "bang", and then quickly landed.
"Back to the defense!"
Cookch started to play a fast attack, and Tom shouted and hurriedly chased back.
On the Bulls' side, it wasn't just Cookch who started to accelerate, but Jordan as well.
It's just that when the two of them ran near the halfway line, they both found that there were chasing Timberwolves players around them, and they all slowed down.
"This kid is really fast."
Jordan began to slow down, swept the martial arts that were walking back quickly a few meters in front of him, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh in his heart.
Jordan is not young, and his body functions are no longer what they used to be.
Wu Dao is young, and his physical talent is outstanding, Jordan wants to get rid of Wu Dao's fast attack, unless Wu Dao doesn't notice, or he goes deep into the basket to grab rebounds, otherwise, it is difficult for Jordan to have a chance to break fast.
Quickly attack and change positions.
Ron Harper took the ball and slowly dribbled into the front court.
This time, Jordan landed in the corner, and Ron Harper quickly broke through with the ball after holding the ball into the frontcourt, and as he broke through to the basket, Jordan quickly lifted up to fill the gap at the top of the arc and the side elbow.
Ron Harper, who was attacking the basket, obviously couldn't get a good layup opportunity under the Timberwolves' pursuit and interception, and the ball took off and turned around, throwing the basketball in his hand to Jordan.
The strength is great, and the parabola is high.
Jordan stuck to the three-point line and needed to take a few steps back to jump up and catch the ball.
After the ball, Ron Harper quickly left the basket along the baseline and went to the middle distance in the direction of the bottom corner. Marbury was also quick to follow suit.
With the end of the Bulls' round of running, the right half of the area was empty, and it became a stage for Jordan and Wudao to play one-on-one.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Jordan bowed slightly, made a low-altitude hand-changing dribble in front of him, and slowly pressed towards the martial arts.
Jordan's dribbling rhythm is very slow, but Wu Dao does not dare to take it lightly, because a player with a "big hand" like Jordan will not have any extra sports movements to start, and he can accelerate when he scoops up the ball with his hand.
There is simply no need to strengthen the momentum of the basketball itself by speeding up the dribble and catching the ball, so as to assist the rush.
If the player is slow to fast, it will cause the person to stay in place after passing the ball, but it is unlikely that this will happen to players with large hands.
Sure enough, Jordan, who was still approaching at a slow pace a second ago, directly pulled the ball up from the "close to the ground" position at the moment when the basketball was changed to his right hand, stabbed his left foot towards the right front, and quickly leaned sideways on Wu Dao's body.
When the basketball in Jordan's hand landed again, the ball was already behind Wu Dao, and Jordan's position was quickly on par with Wu Dao.
It's fast, and the rush is sharp.
This time, Wu Dao had no way to continue to follow up the assaulting Jordan with crab steps, so he could only follow Jordan closely, and his body turned and stuck behind him.
Although he is half a year behind Jordan, Wu Dao is not in a hurry.
He is not completely out of position, if Jordan blindly attacks the basket, with the athleticism of martial arts, he can complete the block behind Jordan!
But.
Jordan obviously won't give Wu Dao this kind of opportunity, Jordan who hit the basket is not false in the face of Garnett's supplemental defense, and directly put the ball together with both hands, and collided with Garnett's body in mid-air, and the basketball in Jordan's hand changed direction.
Garnett's arm pressed when he blocked, directly hitting Jordan's left forearm, and at the same time, Jordan, who shook Garnett's block, also grabbed the ball with his right hand, and was about to throw the ball, but Wu Dao's hand poked out from behind Jordan and pressed on the basketball.
After the strong physical confrontation, Jordan was beaten by Garnett on the one hand, and was blocked from behind by Wu Dao on the other, and the coordination was as strong as a "god" There was no way to maintain stability in the air, his body leaned back, and the moment he landed, he fell directly to the ground, sliding backwards, relieving the pressure on his ankles.
At the same time, the basketball fell, and the referee's sharp whistle sounded.
There was no chance of a fluke, Garnett fouled and Jordan was sent to the free-throw line.
With the two free throws falling into the basket steadily, the score between the Timberwolves and the Bulls also came to 2:6.
The difference came to 4 points.
Successfully stretched the difference to two goals, Jordan's eyes scratched on the scoreboard, and then looked at Wu Dao and Garnett, spread his hands, and put on a "helpless" expression, as if he was sighing "I'm really too strong!" ”
"Stephen, give the ball."
Wu Dao reminded Marbury, and then ran towards the front without looking back.
Marbury's face remained unchanged after hearing Takemi's shout, and he quickly dribbled into the frontcourt after receiving the basketball in the backcourt.
Without waiting for Marbury to get close to the top of the arc, the basketball in his hand also flew out quickly and was given to Wu Dao's hands.
Admittedly, Marbury has played a few good games in the previous games, but Marbury himself is still a little self-aware, and he knows very well that a large part of the credit for his outstanding performance is actually due to the presence of martial arts to attract the attention of opponents.
When facing the Timberwolves, no matter what the opponent is, it is impossible to ignore the threat of martial arts, and defenders have a lot of attention to bet on martial arts.
Basketball starts, in the face of Kukchi's defense, Wu Dao quickly blew the ball horizontally, and then his body paused, suspended dribbling at the same time, and then at the moment when Ku Keqi raised his center of gravity, the ball exploded, but the rhythm of Wu Dao was a little slow, and at the moment of the breakthrough, his body seemed to stop in place, as if waiting for the defenders to react.
In the next moment, when Takeki's actions forced Cooke to look back in fear, Takeshi retreated in reverse, and the strength of his body gently spread on Cooke's body, and he instantly returned to outside the three-point line.
Kukchi wanted to stop and block the martial arts, but his body couldn't stop, and because of the confusion of his steps, the huge inertia of his body suddenly made Kukeqi lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground with a thud.
Outside the three-point line, Wu Dao held the ball and stood still for a second, and after his eyes met Kukchi on the ground, he slowly raised the basketball and threw the ball.
"!!Shh
The soft sound of the basketball entering the net immediately ignited the audience in the target center arena.
