Chapter 647: Rocket of Violent Death!
The game between the Timberwolves and the Rockets entered the fourth quarter, and as soon as it came up, Takeshi scored a three-pointer directly under the marking of Barkley.
The strong individual ability made the Houston audience can't help but let out a low cry.
"Your defense seems to have weakened a bit."
"It's not as tight as it was in the previous verses."
Takeshi looked at Barkley in front of him after scoring the goal, and it was not long after the fourth quarter had just begun, and Barkley walked back to the court after wiping sweat off the court.
But in just a short time, Barkley's face and head were covered with fine beads of sweat, the jersey on his body was tightly pressed against his body, and the magnesium light fell from the roof, and the light shone on Barkley's body, reflecting a crystal light.
"Ho-ho."
Barkley gasped, glanced at the martial arts without saying a word, didn't say much nonsense, just walked through the martial arts and ran towards the Timberwolves halfcourt.
As he passed by Takemi's side, Barkley's shoulder slammed into Takemi's body, and the tremendous force pushed Takedo backwards.
Wu Dao's shoulders shook and he stood firm. Instead of being annoyed, he immediately followed Barkley's footsteps and ran back towards his own half.
The Rockets attacked, Barkley asked for the ball in the low post, and the person who defended Barkley was still Garnett, but when the basketball was given to Barkley, Wu Dao could clearly perceive that Barkley's footsteps were a little weak, not as solid as the back shots in the first few quarters.
"Bang!!"
Once the ball was blown up, Barkley dropped the ball and hit it back, Garnett raised his arms high, and actually relied on his own strong strength to resist Barkley's back hit.
"Resisted!"
When Wu Dao saw this scene, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his body reacted quickly, and he turned around directly and rushed towards Barkley, intending to come to a bag with Garnett.
His movements were naturally seen by Barkley, and when Wu Dao was about to approach him, Barkley quickly lifted the ball with both hands and passed it directly to his teammates outside the three-point line.
The martial arts come up to attack, and the outer line of their rockets will naturally appear to be vacant.
But when the basketball leaped over the top of Bushido's head, Takemi, who was already moving towards Barkley at high speed, suddenly jumped backwards.
A pair of long arms quickly grabbed the basketball in the air.
Barkley's passing height is not too high for Takemichi, and it is within his "radial range".
Although Wudao jumped backwards, the exaggerated physical fitness still allowed Wudao to successfully block the basketball and grab the ball in his hand.
After the basketball starts, there is no need for martial arts to greet teammates, and the moment he completes the steal, Marbury and Tom are already rushing towards the front court, and their respective opponents are also closely following the next second when the two of them start to speed.
The passing opportunity was not too good, and Wu Dao had no intention of making the ball, and he began to push back quickly towards the front court with the ball.
The Rockets' players tried to reach out and steal the interference when Budao crossed the three-point line, but the moving Budao was just like a leisurely stroll with a back luck, easily passing the opponent, and at the same time, the speed of advancing with the ball was raised, and he quickly crossed the halfway line and rushed towards the Rockets half.
When Wu Dao was about to approach the Rockets' three-point line, behind him, there was a rush of footsteps.
At the same time, the Rockets players who entered the basket in advance were also attracted by Martial Arts and made a layup towards Martial Arts.
When approaching the free throw line, Takedo realized that he was already being defended by two people, and at the same time, Takemichi's afterglow was also swept to Tom, who cut into the basket.
The Rockets took themselves so seriously that there was such a huge hole in the fast-paced transition between offense and defense.
Wu Dao, who was holding the ball, paused for a moment, looked at the crotch position of the player in front of him, and quickly hit the ball to the ground
The players of the Rockets thought that the martial arts had gone deep into this position, and they would definitely not back down in the face of defense, and would definitely hit the morale of the Rockets with an amazing dunk.
But the actual situation was to everyone's surprise, Wu Dao had no intention of playing by himself at all, and used the pass to resolve the Rocket's double bag.
"Smack!"
The basketball bounced back into Tom's hands, who took the ball and burst into the basket, dunking it into the net.
Single Quarter 5:0.
The Timberwolves have the full advantage.
Martial Arts and Tom, who scored the goal, high-fived and quickly began to defend again.
The Rockets lost five points in a row, and the players saw that the scores of the two teams were getting bigger and bigger, even these experienced old guys couldn't help but become a little impatient at this moment.
Barkley catches the ball and hits it back, turns and misses a strong shot.
The big dream of snatching the rebound in the front court was not in a very good position at the first time, so he could only rely on his physical advantage to find the right time to click the basketball in order to be able to make up for the basket.
But unfortunately, the basketball still collapsed from the basket, and this time, the rebound was controlled by Garnett.
The Timberwolves, who won the rebound, quickly switched offense, and Wu Dao and Marbury rushed to the front court in an instant, and when the Timberwolves were on a fast break, the only one who could catch up on the Rockets' side was Eddie Johnson, who came off the bench.
Eddie Johnson's defensive target was naturally Marbury, who was the fastest with the ball, but when Marbury sensed that someone was chasing, he deliberately slowed down a little when he advanced.
It wasn't until the moment Eddie Johnson caught up that Marbury passed the basketball in his hand to the side follow-up martial arts.
Starting with basketball, Wu Dao didn't do any bells and whistles, a simple gliding split dunk, and dunked the ball into the basket.
A loud sound came from inside the arena, and Takemichi, who scored again, also pointed in the direction of Marbury, with a smile on his face.
On the sidelines, seeing his team losing points in a row under the offensive of the Timberwolves, Tang Shuai couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
The situation was not very good for them in the first place, and the successive points lost at this moment made it even worse.
But at this time, Tang Shuai can't call a timeout, and now this timeout is called, and there will be no timeout to call when it comes to the decisive stage.
After all, Tomjanovic chose to believe in his players, and believed that his experienced players could adjust themselves at such a critical time.
Of course, he still has to remind what should be reminded.
Tomjanovic stood on the sidelines of the pitch and shouted at the middle of the pitch: "Slow down! ”
"Don't rush, slow down!"
"Don't let the Timberwolves take your rhythm away!"
"Hit our own."
Tomjanovic's voice still fell into the ears of every Rockets player, even in such a noisy arena.
Sure enough, after he reminded him, the offensive rhythm of the rocket in this round was really suppressed.
Basketball, which runs quickly among the Rockets players, quietly seeks a defensive flaw from the Timberwolves.
After a few passes, the basketball finally got to Olajuwon, who took the ball, and in the left half of the court, a small sideways, left hand grabbed the ball and sent the ball to the basket.
"Huh!"
Olajuwon was strong on his own and sent the ball into the Nets with an understatement.
But without waiting for the crowd in the stands to cheer, the Timberwolves sent a quick bottom line and directly sounded the horn of counterattack.
The Rockets' players quickly returned to the defense after noticing this, and the next second when the Rockets' players ran smoothly without the ball, the basketball was also sent to the hands of Wu Dao by Marbury.
Barkley, who had just run to stand in front of Takemi, didn't have the slightest respite at all, and saw Takeshi get off the ball immediately after getting the basketball.
"Bang!"
The bodies of the two collided, and Wu Dao was not afraid to fight against Barkley's body at all, and after taking the initiative to impact Barkley's defense, Wu Dao took advantage of the situation, fried the ball back, and retreated to the outside of the three-point line, and then bowed and looked up at the basket.
Barkley could only raise his center of gravity and chase the block in the face of Barkley's offense, but Martial Arts with the ball also quickly changed direction in advance, and his body instantly wiped over Barkley's side and killed under the basket.
Today's Barkley is no longer the same as when he was young, and with huge physical consumption, he can't do a continuous center of gravity change like martial arts, and even if he can, it is impossible to catch up with the speed of martial arts.
Looking back, Barkley watched as Takedo drove the ball to the basket and sent the ball into the nets under a high board on Olajuwon's defense.
"Oh!!!"
The Timberwolves' bench suddenly erupted in cheers when they saw that Wu Dao actually scored the ball under the high-intensity defense again.
And the home fans in Houston also wailed after seeing this scene, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the Timberwolves, the young man completely exploded, scoring one after another, and opened the score in an instant.
Not to mention the Houston fans, even the players on the court of the Rockets are also heavy at this moment, and they are overwhelmed by the huge pressure brought by the strong offensive of the martial arts.
Barkley's breath was short, and the huge physical exertion was actually not felt when the mood was high, but now, it was extremely obvious, such a feeling, he hadn't felt it for a long, long time.
The last time I felt like this was in the playoffs.
But in today's game with the Timberwolves, a physical monster like Barkley also felt the weakness of his body.
Sometimes, even a player like Ross Barkley has to admit that time is not forgiving.
He is obviously not yet forty years old, and his physical condition is very different from when he was in his twenties.
Of course, Barkley's fitness problems will ultimately stem from the opponent he faced today. Strictly speaking, there aren't many martial arts runs, and he and Curry's historical-level running ability is still different.
But even if Wudao's running momentum can't be compared with a player like Curry, his running momentum is far beyond the traditional No. 3 player in this era.
And when Wudao attacks with the ball, he is the most tormenting defender, he has good physical talent, fast speed, great strength and excellent projection, if you want to defend Wudao, you must not only keep up with his pace, but also be able to withstand his strength.
And in order to affect the shooting percentage of Martial Arts and find a way to force Martial Arts into the interior, Barkley will also take the initiative to give some physical confrontation when defending.
It also exacerbated his physical exertion.
The worst thing is that Barkley is not like Rodman, who only needs to be responsible for defense and rebounding.
On top of doing these things, he also needs to take responsibility for the offense.
And Garnett, who has to face in the low post, is not a good character, and to break through Garnett's defense, Barkley often needs to pay a lot of physical strength.
With such a big package of play, Barkley can resist until now, and he can also be called an iron man. Wu Dao, who is younger than him, will not play like Barkley, at most he will protect the backcourt rebounds, and the frontcourt rebounds rarely touch his hands.
In terms of rebounding ability, Wu Dao really has no way to compare with Barkley.
But
Ross Barkley doesn't seem to realise that every player has something they are good at, and if a team wants to win, they need players to play what they do best.
As the core of the team's ace, the all-inclusive play is of course very able to give the players a sense of security, and fans will also like the "all-round" ace.
But can this style of play really bring the team a championship?
Da Yao will include Barkley in his list of "all-time first-class" players, not without reason, in the Jordan era, in terms of strength, Barkley is definitely the closest player to Jordan.
The difference between Barkley and Jordan is that when he is the core of the team, Barkley takes on too many things and is too cumbersome.
Barkley once bragged about Rodman's rebounding king, if he wanted to, he could easily surpass Rodman, and the reason why he couldn't get the rebounding king was simply because he still had to attack.
Although the words were said in a joking tone, how could this not be true?
Barkley's all-round ability is recognized by the whole league.
is as strong as Jordan, and there are several masters who focus on a certain field at hand.
Barkley, would you not need a teammate like that?!
The Houston Rockets, in the eyes of Wu Dao, even if there is no injury factor, there is no potential to compete for the championship!
Falling to the Jazz for two years in a row is by no means just a simple "injury" that can be encompassed.
The Rockets, who were quickly stretched apart, continued to try to attack, and Eddie Johnson attacked Tom's defense and shot a pullup jump shot from mid-range.
The basketball collapsed out of the basket, and the rebounds were scrambling for many players under the basket, so that Wu Dao, who rushed to the inside, picked up the cheap, and then the Timberwolves quickly pushed back.
This time, when Marbury noticed that the Rockets' players' defensive focus was on Wu Dao, he dug into the step and accelerated the rush, and when he was close to the free throw line, he made a quick stop jump shot, and the basketball went into the net.
The difference between points widened further, and Wu Dao's eyes also looked at the rest area of the rocket.
His eyes fell on Clyde Drexler, who was on the bench at this time.
Houston Rockets, but the Big Three!
Clyde Drexler may be at the end of his career, but he is a Hall of Fame player whose individual qualities are far beyond the reach of ordinary bench players.
The remnant rocket lacks a super breakthrough player who can make a final decision online.
The game between the Rockets and the Timberwolves quickly lost its suspense.
This twilight galactic battleship suddenly collapsed in the fourth quarter, just like the national team in those years.
The physical fitness of the Rockets celebrities was blown up by the young Timberwolves, and in order to protect Olajuwon, who had just recovered from injury, when the difference between the two teams was stretched to 13 points, they replaced Da Meng from the game and officially announced the surrender of the gun.
113:97。
The Timberwolves beat the Rockets.
