Chapter 624: Full Strength, Kaleidoscope!
The scene that happened in the bull's half was naturally seen by Wu Dao, who had already completed his position.
Although he couldn't hear the conversation between Jordan and Cookic from such a distance, there were many things that he didn't need to talk to know what the other party was going to do.
Jordan's gesture couldn't have been more obvious.
Giving a horizontal thumbs up to Sam Mitchell can't be a compliment to Mitchell for "playing well", right?
"Are you coming?!"
"Michael Jordan?"
Wu Dao looked at Ron Harper and the Bulls who were advancing quickly with the ball, and he couldn't help but feel a little blood boiling in his heart. He has always defended Jordan in this game, and he has never felt the frontal defense from Jordan, and the help defense and the frontal defense are completely different.
The Bulls' players quickly entered the frontcourt, and after several transmissions of the basketball, it also quickly came to Jordan's hands.
The Bulls' tactics became incredibly simple after Jordan came on the court, and it can be summed up in one sentence: "Give that damn basketball to Michael!" ”
The Bulls' tactical core itself is Jordan, and Jordan's explosive hand today, which has caused the Bulls to rely more on Jordan's one-man offense.
As the basketball fell into Jordan's hands, Wu Dao stepped on the three-point line, quickly settled in front of Jordan, raised one hand flat, and covered Jordan's face with the other.
His defensive style has been adjusted, Jordan's three-point shot still gave Wu Dao some little pressure before, and when he faced Jordan again, he did not completely empty the opponent's three-point shot.
However, Wu Dao's defensive focus is still on Jordan's breakthrough, after all, compared to Jordan's three-point shot, his mid-range is more terrifying.
Jordan raised the ball and shot the basketball, Wu Dao was unmoved when he saw this situation, Jordan quickly leaned over and took a tentative step forward with his right foot. In the face of Jordan's breakthrough action, Wu Dao's side reacted quickly, and his steps were larger, covering Jordan's right front and blocking the opponent's travel route.
"This kid"
After a simple temptation, Jordan quickly understood the defensive intention of Wudao, scolded in his heart, and the basketball in his hand also quickly fell on the right side.
At the same time, his left foot was quickly lifted to the right front, and at the same time, Jordan's position was also quickly level with the martial arts, and his left hand protector was also quickly from the side of the martial arts to the back of the martial arts, and there was an obvious "blocking" action.
This is also a breakthrough skill, when the player is rushing, you must know how to make reasonable use of the rules and make reasonable use of the ball protector!
Jordan's strength as a ball protector is very strong, and he is obviously taking the initiative, but with this level of confrontation, there will be no referee in this era.
And if Wu Dao turns around from the left side, he will inevitably be limited by Jordan's interference. Wu Dao's movements are also very sensitive, and after feeling Jordan's "malice", Wu Dao actually turned around without the ball, adjusted his position in an instant, and chased after Jordan.
The speed of Wu Dao's turn is fast, and the speed of turning his back is not much slower than that of turning in order, and this is compared with his own two ways of turning, in Jordan's sight, he only knows that in a blink of an eye, the kid from the Timberwolves has already caught up.
At this time, Jordan only broke into the three-point line two steps, and was still in a "high position".
"Bang!!"
The pursuing martial arts quickly intercepted Jordan, and the bodies of the two quickly collided together, and when he sensed that martial arts was approaching, Jordan's left half of his body muscles bulged, and his left arm was tightly attached to his body, actively seeking confrontation.
And as the two collided with each other, the speed of Jordan's impact was paused, and the pursuing martial arts were also driven towards the basket by a powerful force under his impact.
At the same time, Jordan, who was stalled, simply stopped urgently, directly closed the ball in the high position, and threw a backward jumper.
The moment Jordan jumped with the ball, the martial arts of the master also quickly stabilized his body, and reflexively pounced on Jordan.
Wu Dao's long arms quickly blocked Jordan's vision, and then overtook Jordan's head and sealed towards the basketball.
At the moment before Wu Dao was about to complete the block, Jordan flipped his wrist and flicked the basketball with his fingers, and the basketball narrowly crossed Wu Dao's fingertips and flew towards the basket.
Under the watchful eyes of the players on the court, Jordan's basketball landed steadily into the basket with a crisp sound.
“oh!”
As the basketball entered the net, Jordan also clenched his fists with an excited expression, and let out a hearty low roar from his mouth. Wudao's defense actually put a lot of pressure on Jordan, but it was this strong pressure that inspired Jordan's best competitive state.
Now 34-year-old Jordan is actually beginning to enter the last years of his career, and his physical function is no longer the same as when he was 24 years old. The devastation that the years have taken on professional athletes is unimaginable to ordinary people.
When Jordan played, he could clearly feel that his body was not fast enough and tall enough compared to when he was younger. Although with his skills and retained physical fitness, he is still able to teach the opposing players to behave casually.
But Jordan himself knows that he is not as good as before.
But today's game was a little different from the previous games, Jordan found a long-lost enthusiasm on the field, and the young and powerful martial arts stimulated Jordan.
He doesn't think he's old and he's still able to overpower a new generation of players.
At the very least, to completely knock down the young man in front of him.
Between offense and defense, the Timberwolves have already launched an offense, and Chris quickly sent the ball out to the side of the martial arts after holding the ball into the frontcourt.
Although Chris's personal ability is far less sharp than Marbury's, this young man has one thing that is better, that is, he is obedient enough.
And it's not the words of the instructor that I listened to, but the words of martial arts.
Martial Dao, who was standing in the elbow area, was just a move with his hand, and Chris immediately understood and sent the ball to Martial Dao's hand.
And the opponent that Wudao has to face is also changed from Cookic to Michael Jordan.
Facing Wu Dao who held the ball, Jordan's defensive position was quite forward, and his body quickly stuck to Wu Dao after receiving the ball, one hand against Wu Dao's waist, and the other hand was held high.
And as Jordan and Wu Dao began to confront each other head-on, the scene in the target center arena also resounded with enthusiastic cheers.
The two commentators on the commentary seat also immediately "climaxed" after seeing this scene, shouting:
"Michael! Michael and Martial Arts go head-to-head! ”
"It seems that the Bulls finally realized that Tony was not an opponent of martial arts and made a substitution to defend."
"It's no secret that Michael is not just an offensive specialist, he's a defensive gate!"
The narrator's excited shouts blended with the cheers from the stands.
In the court, Wu Dao and Jordan, who were at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, focused their attention on each other.
Ben sideways to catch the ball of the martial arts footsteps turned, was trying to sweep the ball to the basket, Jordan's originally raised hand also fell quickly, predicted the direction of the martial arts sweep, and slapped the basketball fiercely.
"Smack!"
After a soft sound, the basketball that Wu Dao was holding in both hands fell down suddenly, but it was still firmly grasped by Wu Dao in his hand.
Jordan's steal at the right time, but it didn't work?!
"Huh?!"
Jordan couldn't help but let out a low murmur when he saw this scene.
Although Wudao's sweeping action was paused because of Jordan's steal, the basketball in his hand quickly adjusted its position with the martial arts frame, and Jordan on the defensive side did not dare to slack off, and quickly lowered his center of gravity.
And at the moment when Jordan's center of gravity dropped, Wu Dao quickly got up with the ball, stepped on the tip of his left foot on the three-point line, and directly pulled out his hand.
Wu Dao's shot was sudden, and the afterglow of Jordan's eyes had been paying attention to Wu Dao's footsteps, and by the way, he also stepped on the line when he aimed at Wu Dao's projection.
He thought that Wu Dao himself was also aware of it, and he would not choose a two-point long shot in such a position, because Wu Dao obviously only needed to adjust his pace to be able to retreat to the three-point line to play three points.
Projecting in such a place, the benefits are simply too low and too low.
But it was because of Jordan's "unexpectedness" that he was in a small vacancy when he was pulling out the projection.
Jordan stretched out his arm, but it was clearly a no-brainer.
Under the gaze of everyone, the basketball fell steadily into the net. The scoreboard on the Timberwolves' side also jumped with it.
The spectators also realized that Martial Arts had stepped on the line after seeing the jumping scores on the scoreboard, but the disappointment disappeared in a flash, and the stands erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
This is the first time that Takeshi has broken Jordan's defensive score head-on, and it is also a very meaningful thing for Timberwolves fans.
"Young man, you seem to be very nervous, you shot in such a hurry!"
"Is that much pressure on you?"
"Relax, I won't eat you again!"
Although the defense failed, Jordan, who is well versed in the essence of trash talk, still found the "angle" at the first time and laughed and mocked.
"Pressure?!"
"Not really, I just saw that the defense was too loose, so I just threw casually, and I didn't care too much."
"I didn't expect it to be pinched~"
Wu Dao smiled and shrugged his shoulders, his expression relaxed, not like a fake. When Jordan heard this, his breath stagnated, and then he smiled:
"It's a hard mouth."
"You won't score a second time with a ball like this."
"And the goal I just scored on your head will continue to play in the next games!"
As he spoke, Jordan walked towards the frontcourt. And the Bulls, on the other hand, also followed in Jordan's footsteps and began to quickly advance with the ball.
As Jordan said, the Bulls' attack was still initiated by him, but this time, Jordan's Joe Klein on the inside line was in charge of blocking and dismantling when he was holding the ball, and Wu Dao noticed that the blocking player stepped forward, but Jordan didn't have the idea of using the blocking and dismantling at all to advance in reverse.
Wu Dao's pursuit was very fast, after Jordan was forced to stop near the free throw line, he raised the ball and shook it, and then turned around and threw a jump shot, and the smooth footwork also made Wu Dao's defensive movements flawed, and when Jordan turned over and leaned back, Wu Dao could only reach out to interfere, but there was no way to complete the block.
The basketball hit the front of the board into the net and made a soft sound.
Jordan's repeated difficult goals under the defense of Wu Dao also made Timberwolves fans feel desperate. For a long time, the single defense effect of martial arts has been too good, but today's Jordan regards martial arts' defense as nothing and frequently scores.
There was almost no obvious misalignment in the defense of the martial arts, but it was precisely because of this that the Timberwolves fans felt even more desperate when they realized this.
It's all been prevented like this, Jordan can still score, and he can still maintain such efficiency, and the fans really don't know what to do to stop Jordan today.
was punched in the face by Jordan, and there was no disappointment on Wu Dao's face.
For NBA-level players, this kind of thing is relatively normal. When a player is out of shape, he is how to shoot, not to mention that the opponent in front of him is Michael Jordan.
Although it is the last year of his career, a superstar is a superstar after all.
Alternate offense and defense.
In the face of the strong Jordan, Wu Dao can only respond with goals. Quickly entering the frontcourt, Wu Dao's body did not stop at the three-point line for long, and moved until the extension of the free throw line, and only stopped at two steps inside the three-point line, and used his back against Jordan to ask for the ball with his back.
Chris's passing intention was detected by Ron Harper, and Ron Harper quickly adjusted his position and tried to intercept, but under Chris's shaking of the ball, Ron Harper's defense also exposed a gap, allowing Chris to pass the ball.
On the Bulls' side, not only Ron Harper noticed Chris's thoughts, but Jordan, who defended Martial Arts, actually noticed this, trying to grab the front steal, but Martial Arts' back skills were also excellent, and he just moved a little step to firmly jam Jordan.
When the basketball fell, Wu Dao jumped forward, took a step inside the three-point line, and caught the ball with his back to the basket.
After the basketball was started, Wu Dao directly blew the ball and hit it back, and the powerful power was instantly transmitted to Jordan, who was caught off guard.
Jordan is a heavy defender, weighing almost 100kg, and his physique, even when facing opponents in the low post, does not necessarily suffer much.
It's just that when facing Martial Arts, Jordan needs to use the strength of his whole body if he wants to resist Martial Arts' back hits, but this is only the first blow.
Seeing Wu Dao blow up the ball again, Jordan clamped his hands on Wu Dao's back, and while accumulating strength, he was also ready to meet the impact.
But at this moment, Wu Dao's right hand slammed towards the right side of the back, but at the same time, he himself turned around, directly crossed Jordan from the other side, caught the basketball behind Jordan, and then rushed to the basket with the ball.
A beautiful man's ball was divided, which directly made the stands resound with earth-shattering cheers.
Everyone didn't expect that in the face of Jordan's defense, the young man Wu Dao actually "played".
Martial arts attack basket, kill everyone caught off guard, Bill Winnington and Joe Klein, who were a beat slower, didn't want to be a background board, the two of them instantly lost the idea of defense against the martial arts that attacked the basket violently, and watched the martial arts who entered the basket complete the split.
"Bang Dang!!"
As the loud slam dunk sounded in the court, the audience cheered enthusiastically and poured into the court.
"Michael, the same way of attacking, I rarely use the second one!"
