As soon as the game between the Timberwolves and the Rockets began, the Timberwolves took the lead, and the strong block of the martial arts quieted the noisy arena.

The home fans of the Rockets did not expect that Charles Barkley, known as "Fliggy", would suffer such a big loss as soon as he came up.

"Hey, give me the ball!"

The Rockets advanced from the backcourt with the ball, and Barkley shouted at his teammates as soon as he entered the frontcourt, regardless of whether the Timberwolves players could hear it or not.

Barkley's idea is also very simple, no matter what, he has to find a way back in the face of Martial Arts.

Otherwise, wouldn't he lose face!

Barkley didn't plan to catch the ball outside the three-point line in this round.

Among the Rockets' starters, there are real outside players. When the players were in position, Olajuwon was the only one who fell in the direction of the inside line, and Olajuwon landed on the left side of the field, leaving the right half of the field empty.

The Timberwolves' defense is a relatively standard 23-in-1 defense.

Martial arts are guarded on the outside.

Barkley saw that the position on the inside was quite rich, and this time he went to the middle of the right half of the field when he fell into position. And as Barkley crossed the three-point line, Garnett also walked quickly behind Barkley and resisted Barkley with his body.

At this time, Barkley fell into a low position, facing Garnett, who was 213cm, and he actually stretched out his hand and carried the basket to the position.

Wu Dao has his eye on the other core of the Rockets, Matt Bullard, who is 208cm tall, and the position of this player and Barkley is a little blurred.

It's a bit inaccurate to say that the two are forwards and can rotate with each other as the team needs to attack.

At this time, Barkley fell low, and in order to make plenty of room for the interior to play, the rest of the Rockets naturally would not be stupidly blocked under the basket.

And Olajuwon, who was originally near the basket on the left side, received a pass from his teammates smoothly with Barkley in the low post, and also left the basket with the momentum, and raised the position towards the free throw line, giving Barkley an empty position at the same time, he also intended to give Barkley a passing fulcrum.

"Let your boss guard me!"

"You young man is no match for me!"

Barkley glanced sideways at Garnett behind him, and the corners of his mouth grinned, and he actually spewed trash talk at Garnett. When Garnett heard this, his face changed slightly, and he was about to open his mouth to fight back, when he felt a huge impact from the lower abdomen.

Barkley is a lot shorter than Garnett, but he doesn't lose any weight and strength.

Just like when dealing with martial arts, Barkley directly sat back when he faced Garnett, and the terrifying power was instantly poured on Garnett's body, and the focus of this power was actually Garnett's slightly bent thigh.

What's worse is that while Barkley "sitting", Barkley's back was also leaning Garnett's body.

This made Garnett, who was already a little unstable because of Barkley's "sitting" play, even worse, as soon as his feet rooted in the ground loosened, Garnett staggered a step backwards and instantly gave way to the basket.

Barkley, who was empty, quickly turned around with the ball and made a layup near the basket, Barkley jumped forward, and his body was also on Garnett's body.

But at this time, Barkley, who was jumping, also hit his body directly, and under this physical confrontation intensity, Garnett couldn't jump at all, and could only raise his arms to interfere.

Barkley changed hands in mid-air, his right arm was on Garnett's arm, and his left hand held the ball to the basket with ease.

The basketball wipes the board from the left side and falls directly into the hoop.

Barkley, who scored the goal, landed quickly, turned his head to look at Garnett, with a bright smile on his face, and Garnett was a little itchy when he looked at Garnett with two rows of white teeth.

The opponent's offense is not as unfathomable as it is technical, many of the actions are actually very basic, and with Garnett's ability, he has more or less seen through the opponent's series of actions.

But here's the trouble, although Garnett thinks he has seen through the opponent's movements, but there is no way to successfully defend the opponent.

The other party's big ass caused huge trouble for Garnett.

"Kevin, it's a big fart under the basket, what are you going to do when your center of gravity is down?"

"Are you going to rush outside the bottom line to pursue?"

Marbury served in the backcourt, Garnett trotted towards the Rockets half, and when he passed by Takemichi, Takedo couldn't help but "remind" him.

Garnett's defensive position is very different from that of Budo, who defends Barkley on the outside and needs to watch out for the opponent's sudden upsurge.

But Garnett is different, he and Barkley are already relatively close to the blue style, and Garnett can stand up straight and eat Barkley's confrontation.

Relying on his sheer height and reach, Garnett is fully capable of turning around and defending when the opponent makes a layup.

After all, the area on the inside is small, and there is not much room for offensive players to play. With Garnett's quality and physique, he is fully capable of causing a huge disturbance to Barkley.

"Hit you well."

"I know."

Garnett muttered a little unpleasantly, his temper was not aimed at martial arts, mainly because of Barkley's previous provocation, which more or less affected his mentality.

Martial Arts sensed Garnett's mood swings, smiled and didn't say anything more.

Garnett is a strong man, and losing his temper means that he is starting to get into the game.

If Garnett becomes reticent when he plays, there is only one situation, he is completely beaten up, and Garnett, who is beaten by himself, can his mouth stop.

The more trash talk, the more Garnett leads his opponents in the same position.

The Timberwolves' offense was combed by Marbury.

In today's game, Coach Philip specially instructed Marbury that the team's offense should first find the point of martial arts, and it is necessary to let martial arts open the situation from the outside.

"I'm coming! I got it! ”

As the Timberwolves entered the frontcourt, Barkley, who was supposed to be in position to go to the basket, found Martial Dao, and while driving Ted Bullard, he quickly rushed to the front of Martial Dao.

Wu Dao stood in the elbow zone outside the three-point line, and his left hand was drawn towards Marbury. The latter immediately understood, and immediately threw the ball towards Takemichi's outstretched palm.

The basketball flying horizontally was grabbed by Wu Dao's left hand, and he was about to put the ball in front of his chest with both hands, when Barkley suddenly grabbed a step and reached out directly to the basketball.

He saw Martial Dao's intention to close the ball, and planned to steal Martial Dao with it.

It's just that to Barkley's slight surprise, Takemi's left hand actually pinched the flying basketball in the air, and when Barkley reached out to steal, Takemi's left hand pinched the ball above his head and easily avoided his steal.

The large hand that could easily control the ball with one hand gave Barkley a strong sense of familiarity in his heart.

At the same time, the ball was raised above his head with his right foot as an axis, and his left foot quickly stepped out to the right front, and at the same time, the basketball was also quickly falling on the right side of Takemichi's right hand, and it was instantly level with Barkley's body.

"It's so fast!"

"I pinched the ball with one hand and changed direction?!"

Barkley couldn't make a steal, and the speed of returning to defense was a beat slower, and Wu Dao also suddenly accelerated his steps, and instantly passed Barkley.

Seeing the breakthrough of the martial arts, Barkley turned around to pursue, and quickly pulled the martial arts jersey with his right hand, and the martial arts, who had traveled a few steps rapidly, blew up the ball with his right hand after crossing the three-point line a few steps, and his body quickly paused and looked up at the basket.

"Feint!"

Martial Dao's pause was seen through by Barkley, Barkley only straightened his waist and was not pointed up by Martial Dao's feints, but after Martial Arts blew up the ball, his feet quickly retreated to the right rear, and he threw a jump shot directly on the high head and back.

Although Barkley noticed the pause of the martial arts and was not deceived, but as the martial arts retreated and jumped and threw out, he was not able to react and chase up, so he could only symbolically raise his arms and try to interfere.

It's just that Barkley's heart is quite bitter, and it is impossible for his interference to really interfere with martial arts. The opponent took a step back and directly opened a distance of more than one meter with him, coupled with a backward jump shot, this kind of ball cannot be interfered with at all.

The basketball fell in Barkley's line of sight towards the basket, and then passed through the net with a crunch.

"This kid, the ball wind ball road is so weird!"

"And Michael is a different kind of guy!"

Barkley saw the basketball into the net, recalled the goal that Wu Dao had just scored, and secretly said in his heart.

The difference between a step-back jumper and a step-back jumper is also very large.

In different eras, the forward footwork before the step-back jumper is completely different. For example, Michael Jordan, who is the best at jumping shots in this era, often has his back to his back before shooting, using his back to sway and body confrontation to create space for himself to shoot.

But the jumper in the small-ball era is very different, and in the small-ball era, it's hard to find an outside player who uses his back-to-back footwork to fight against himself to find a gap.

It's more about using cover, running open to catch the ball or dropping back to open up space, or unexpected ultra-long-distance projection.

In the modern game, there are 40+ three-pointers shot at a time.

But in the '90s, few teams had that large number of three-pointers.

The projection habits of martial arts are influenced by the small-ball era, although his back footwork is also excellent, but when he hits the basket, he often uses a more complex backward step projection, or a sudden stop after changing direction.

Jordan, on the other hand, tends to be more straightforward when he chooses the basket, and many times he relies on the offensive team's lead and his excellent bounce to complete a difficult "top shot".

Kobe's mid-range style of play is almost a replica of Jordan's.

It's just that when attacking the basket, the difference between the two is relatively large, compared to Kobe, Jordan has more baskets, and his hands are big, Jordan can change various actions in the air when attacking the basket, but Kobe Bryant's hands are small, which he can't do, Kobe is used to using strong physical fitness to directly buckle.

Of course, the basket splitting dunk was Kobe Bryant during the "Peter Pan" period, and Kobe Bryant gained weight after he was a little older, and at that time, the main offensive means was low-post basket singles.

Wudao is very similar to Jordan and Kobe Bryant in terms of mid-distance back footsteps, but Wudao's mid-to-long-distance basket offense is very different from them.

Wudao's offense, there are two or three percent of the three-point shots, and there are also ultra-long three-point raids, when facing the basket in the middle distance, it is customary to use side steps, retreat steps and opponents to open the distance, or it is a fast-paced change of direction in advance, relying on terrifying physical fitness, so that he is invincible in the middle and long distance.

It's a completely different "no solution" from Jordan.

Barkley has seen the confrontation with Jordan on the day of Wu Dao, but watching the video is watching the video after all, and only by experiencing it can you know how difficult the young man in front of him is.

This kind of sideways step back, with his height of 198cm, he wants to defend against the other party, but he can't do it at all.

But as long as the other party feels good, he can only be trained by the military.

Barkley realized this immediately. He finally understood why the other party was so incomprehensible at a young age.

He also understands why a defensive player like Michael has no way to take the other side at all.

Barkley ran towards the Timberwolves' halfcourt, his eyes falling on Takemichi's body, and his mind was thinking about how to deal with the opponent.

Is there a scorer in this era who is known for his projection?

Yes, and there are quite a few of them.

But can shooting a game kill? Yes, but it's difficult. Because it's not easy for these pitchers to maintain their shooting percentage in a game of this intensity.

Martial arts can play such a result in the Timberwolves, in terms of physical talent, it is only one aspect.

The most terrifying thing is his consistency, and his ability to maintain a relatively high level of play is the real weapon that he can gain a foothold in the Timberwolves.

A player who is a god and a ghost can't be the boss in today's league.

"I can only go up the intensity, at least I have to force that kid into the inside line first."

"Otherwise, he will soon be killed."

"What Michael can't do, I have a chance to be able to do!"

By the time Barkley crossed the halfway line and entered the Timberwolves half, he already had the idea of dealing with martial arts in his mind.

At 198cm, 88kg, Michael Jordan is one of the best defenders in the league, and rightly so.

But his physique also somewhat constrained his defensive ability.

And coincidentally, Barkley, who is 198cm and 114kg, can do what Jordan can't!

Giving the outside players "intensity", he Barkley can do better than Jordan!
