Chapter 644: The Battle of Old and New Superstars!

The Rockets quickly launched a counterattack after the martial arts score, and this time, the Rockets' guard did not look for Barkley again.

Under Marbury's defense, Matt Maloney dropped the ball with his right hand and quickly accelerated to advance, Marbury reacted quickly and blocked the direction of Matt Maloney's impact for the first time.

The latter was blocked in front, and Matt Maloney, who was holding the ball, did not pause in the slightest, and made a quick stop, quickly "smashing" the ball from Marbury's head to Olajuwon, who was standing on the sideline of the paint area on the left side.

Matt Maloney's ball was so fast that Marbury didn't react at all.

After Olajuwon got the basketball, Tom Gugliotta, who was standing inside the three-point line to mark Mario Elie, quickly shrank the defense and struck towards Olajuwon.

The two offensive cores of the Rockets, except for Olajuwon and Barkley, the other Rockets players are not too prominent in the entire league, and the Timberwolves also have a focus when arranging defensive tactics when facing the Rockets.

Tom's main task is to help Stanley Roberts on the inside to help defend Olajuwon.

In the face of a top-level interior line like Olajuwon, leaving Stanley Roberts alone to defend is completely no different from delivering food.

Stanley Roberts is a kind of meat shield type player, if it is a player like O'Neal, Stanley Roberts can also use his physical strength to fight with the opponent, not to mention whether he can prevent how many balls, even if it consumes O'Neal, it is a gratifying thing.

But if a player of Stanley Roberts' type encounters an interior player with the skill characteristics of Olajuwon, then I am afraid there is no way to take the other side at all.

And Olajuwon's top interior line is not the same as the average interior line, while his basket feet are flexible and diverse, he also has strong physical fitness, although it is not as terrifying as O'Neal, but among the interior players, Olajuwon is also the kind of top body.

With a combination of body and technique, a shield-like center like Stanley Roberts would be blown up by the opponent every minute without the help of his teammates.

Olajuwon received the ball with his back to the basket, his sight was also to notice Tom who was quickly clamped up, without the slightest hesitation, Olajuwon blew up the ball with his left hand, and quickly gave Stanley Roberts a physical confrontation, and the next moment, Olajuwon turned his back with his left hand, and at the same time as he turned the ball, he quickly grabbed the ball with his right hand, and sent the ball out with a small hook hand in the direction of the basket.

The basketball hits the front of the board and bounces back into the basket with a soft sound.

The small hook hand of the big dream is easy and freehand, not to mention the fluency, just to say that such a small hook hand, in the new era of the NBA, there are very few inside lines that can play this level of ball.

Although Stanley Roberts raised his hands and jumped to block, he couldn't block Olajuwon's hook at all.

The basketball entered the net, and the Rockets retreated like flowing water. They also more or less sensed the Timberwolves' offensive intentions, and the speed increased when the offense and defense were switching

The Timberwolves shot quickly, and after Garnett quickly gave the ball to Marbury, he accelerated his pace and ran towards the Rockets halfcourt.

And Marbury also trotted a few steps quickly after getting the basketball, and in just a few seconds, Marbury had already crossed the halfway line and passed the ball to Wu Dao at high speed.

Takemichi, who was at the elbow area outside the three-point line, stood straight, holding the ball above his head with both hands, and observed the movement of the other Timberwolves players.

On the Rockets' side, Matt Maloney, who was originally defending Marbury, actually intended to wrap up Martial Arts, but when he saw Martial Arts' ball-holding movements, he immediately gave up the idea in his mind.

In his opinion, Wudao has the idea of conducting the ball, and standing so straight is obviously also the idea of using the height advantage to gain a better vision.

But what Matt Maroni probably didn't expect was that although there was a brief pause in the martial arts of holding the ball, he was not just looking for his teammates, but more importantly, waiting for his teammates to settle down.

Standing up straight, Wu Dao, who raised his hands above his head, quickly moved, quickly bent over, his center of gravity dropped sharply, with his left foot as the axis, his right foot flew forward a little, and his body suddenly hit Barkley's body.

Realizing that Martial Arts had plans to break through, Barkley breathed a screen, and the muscles of his whole body tensed and took the initiative to meet the physical impact given by Martial Arts.

The terrifying power poured out on Buckley's body, but Barkley only took a small step back before quickly gaining a foothold.

"Break through me! Youngster! ā€

Barkley let out a low roar, and was about to take a good look at where Wu Dao was going to break through, when he saw Wu Dao quickly retreat and pull out his hand directly outside the three-point line.

ā€œļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ā€

Barkley saw the basketball fly out, his heart was suddenly shocked, there was no slightest trace in his mind, his body had already moved, and he quickly hit the basket, intending to grab the rebound in the front court.

"Bell~"

The dry pull of the martial arts directly hit the iron, and the basketball collapsed out of the basket.

Under the basket, Garnett had already suppressed Matt Bullard outside the paint area at this time, and at the moment when the rebound appeared, Garnett jumped forward, pointed on the basketball first, and moved the ball to the bottom corner on the right side.

"Huh?!"

Barkley, who was ready to grab the rebound under the basket, didn't expect Garnett to be so sharp and be able to point rebounds under the Rockets' defense.

However, looking at the direction in which the basketball flew out, Barkley was also a little strange in his heart, and on the bottom line, he didn't remember where the players were.

When Barkley's gaze swept away and saw the figure in the corner, he didn't want to rush out directly.

Wu Dao didn't return to the court after shooting, and a scorer like him, at the moment of the basketball shot, whether the ball can go in or not, will have some feelings, and this feeling is actually not too much when it goes wrong.

Wu Dao, who felt that his power was a little abnormal, did not grab the rebound, but went down to the bottom corner.

He also saw some signs from Garnett's position, and realized that there was likely to be a second chance to attack.

And just as he expected, Ganeh got the rebound.

The martial arts basket lifted the ball with a simple false shake, and Barkley successfully took off and sealed it.

In the face of Barkley's defense, Wu Dao simply dropped the ball with his left hand, took a step towards the top of the arc, and after avoiding Barkley's defense, he directly pulled out a three-point shot.

This time, Wu Dao did not miss again, and the basketball entered the net with a crisp sound.

ā€œf**kļ¼ā€

Barkley scolded in a low voice, his face was a little annoyed, but his body's reaction was fast, and before the defender could serve, Barkley hurried to the frontcourt.

The professionalism of an old guy like Barkley is very powerful.

The Timberwolves' defensive rhythm is not as fast as their offensive rhythm, because the Rockets' offensive rhythm is not fast, and Matt Maloney is more behind when he takes the ball and moves in the backcourt, and he is a little out of touch with other players.

Marbury saw the opportunity and pressed the defense, and sure enough, under Marbury's strong pressure, Matt Maloney made a mistake when he played the ball, and the basketball was seen through by Tom and completed the steal when he was facing Mario Elie.

The Timberwolves once again made a fast attack, and Tom, Marbury, and Wu Dao became three arrows, and they quickly went down.

Rocket half.

The Timberwolves played three to one, and the only one who the Rockets successfully retreated was Matt Maloney, and only his better defender could barely keep up with the Timberwolves' fast-break combination.

Tom made a long pass on the way, and the basketball smashed directly at the feet of Matt Maloney, who was retreating.

Then he catapulted towards the martial arts on the other side.

Matt Maloney plays three in the frontcourt, focusing on the defensive targets of Marbury and Budo, although Tom was once an All-Star substitute, but since Budo's position on the team has been stabilized, he has played relatively less.

On the contrary, it is the two "new forces" of Wudao and Marbury that occupy most of the team's right to shoot.

The basketball will be passed to Martial Arts, and in Matt Maronny's expectations, I saw Matt Maloni quickly turn around and make up for Martial Arts directly.

However, in the face of Matt Maroni's defense, Wu Dao had no intention of slowing down at all, and when Matt Maroni's body approached, Wu Dao, who was already moving fast, actually mentioned his speed again, and his body slammed into Matt Malone's body.

Then, under the gaze of a crowd of spectators, Wu Dao, who was approaching the free throw line, quickly closed the ball, and his body grabbed Matt Maloney, hitting the basket like a bulldozer, and then in the stunned eyes of everyone, he grabbed the ball with both hands and rose to the ground, overturned Matt Maloney, and dunked the ball with both hands and poured the ball into the basket.

"Wow-"

As the basketball was poured into the basket by the martial arts, the Rockets' home court was in an uproar. These spectators were more or less confused by Takemichi's previous goals, thinking that Takemichi could only shoot weakly on the outside.

Matt Maroni actually thought so in his heart, otherwise, he would not dare to block the martial arts attack basket head-on with a height of 191cm and a weight of 87kg.

But the truth is that after all, it tells everyone that the physical talent of martial arts is also amazing, and outside projection is just a means of scoring for him.

He chose to shoot before, not because he could only shoot, but simply because he wanted to.

The Timberwolves' rest area was jubilant, and the benches cheered happily as they watched Matt Maloney, who was overturned by Martial Arts in the middle of the court.

Wu Dao grabbed the basket with both hands, his body shook slightly, his posture stabilized a little before he fell from the air, looked down at Matt-Maroni for a few seconds, Wu Dao raised his chin slightly, and after a little demonstration, he turned back to defend.

He didn't mean to help Matt-Maronny up.

In the NBA, there is nothing polite in the face of opponents, and what martial arts has to do is to subdue all opponents who are not satisfied.

A small defender dares to stop himself? Matt Maronny probably didn't take himself seriously, and how could he gain a foothold in the alliance without teaching martial arts a lesson!

After the violent dunk of the martial arts, the momentum of the Timberwolves players has obviously increased. But on the Rockets' side, the team's momentum was not suppressed by the Timberwolves.

The first to stand up was Charles Barkley.

How could these old guys who were contemporaries of Jordan be frightened by a young man like Wu Dao? Barkley admits that Martial Arts is strong on the individual, but so what?

He has played in the league for so many years, and he has encountered too many strong opponents, such a talent monster as martial arts, Barkley has not seen it, if he is five or six years younger, he can also play a ball like martial arts!

Matt Maloney didn't deliberately press the tempo this time, and quickly got into the front court, and then gave the ball to Barkley, who was in the middle distance basket positioning.

Sensing that the Rockets were giving the ball to the inside, Takedo glanced at Garnett and Barkley's pair, and had no intention of going to the bag.

Garnett is also the kind of militant, this kind of opportunity to face off one-on-one with celebrities, if someone else interferes with him, he will be unhappy.

And Wu Dao didn't think that Barkley at this age would be able to beat Garnett.

However, the truth seems to be a slap in the face to martial arts.

Barkley sat in the low position, put his butt on Garnett's body, and then turned around to blow up the ball basket, and when Garnett reacted to the pursuit, Barkley closed the ball with both hands, turned around sharply, and then quickly lifted the ball a little, Garnett was already a beat slower, and he didn't want to fly to intercept when he saw Barkley's movements.

However, Barkley faked and made a layup at the same time as Garnett flew away.

Garnett was still able to make movements in the air, and his arm flew towards Garnett, but the ball could not be hit, but hit Barkley's wrist.

Buckley's physical toughness allowed him to maintain his posture in the air, and after a hovering in the air, Barkley made a layup.

The basketball wiped the board into the net, and at the same time, the whistle of the baseline referee also sounded at the right time.

There was no foul on any objection, Garnett himself was well aware of it, and raised his hand.

At the same time as the goal is valid, a penalty can be added, and by the time the referee makes the decision, the arena is already jubilant.

As soon as Wu Dao's front foot scored strongly, Barkley successfully played a 2+1 on the head of the Timberwolves, and this kind of needle-to-wheat game scene is exactly what fans want to see.

Barkley's free throws are very conditional, and when he is in good shape, the free throw rate can reach a terrifying 80+ or even 90+.

But when he was in poor form, his free throws were a bit crotch-pulling.

However, in today's game with the Timberwolves, Barkley's form looks quite good.

Playing against a tough young team like the Timberwolves made Barkley extremely excited, and the excellence of martial arts also made Barkley very satisfied.

He is never afraid of the strength of his opponents, on the contrary, if Takedo is a player who is blown by the media, he will become extremely disappointed.

"Whew!!"

As Barkley's free throw landed on the basket, there was another cheer from the stands.

"Hey, call me back!"

The Rockets began to retreat, Wu Dao stood on the three-point line, and did not attack at the first time, and after Garnett sent the ball out on the baseline, Wu Dao pointed with his thumb to Barkley, who ran back to the Rockets half, and shouted at Garnett.

The media in the vicinity heard Takemi's words, and while showing surprise, they secretly turned the camera to Takedo and Garnett.

Marbury, who was holding the ball, heard it and peeked at Garnett.

Wu Dao's slightly commanding tone made Marbury have a bad premonition in his heart.

Garnett was grumpy

"I know."

However, to Marbury's surprise, Garnett did not say "dirty", but nodded silently and agreed.

Seeing this scene, Marbury couldn't help but look at the martial arts.

I don't know when it began, the status of the wolf king of martial arts seems to have become indestructible in the team!
