195 Iron Defense
Petrus's face was dark, even though it was already dark.
As a black man, as soon as he heard Gary Payton's tone just now, Petrus was already quite aware of the preferences of the guy in front of him, and he didn't need to hide that at all.
After all, this era is not the information age of the developed network in later generations......
Since Stern took office, the NBA has been vigorously rectifying the chaos on the court, emphasizing the personal image of players, and even the strict rules on the dress code of players in the locker room......
In fact, there are already a lot of NBA broadcasts in Europe at this time, but because Europe has been exposed to the NBA earlier than Asia, and there are more broadcast channels, it is popular to watch it on TV channels, rather than watching videos and listening to the soundtrack like Asia, which leads to most of the broadcasts being accompanied by local commentary from Europe.
And these commentators who like gentlemanly style always like to bring their own personal preferences when commenting, introducing players and taking nicknames, which is called a polite and polite style.
Even the famous glove Peyton, the grandfather of NBA trash talk, has been transformed into some black gentleman and Boeing prince in the mouths of those European commentators...... This is clearly misleading Petrus, who is not familiar enough with the NBA.
Therefore, in Petrus's feeling, Gary Payton must be a respected elder, who especially values the character of the player, and just now he deliberately restrained the arrogance in his bones and behaved like a gentleman, hoping to get the NBA legend to be treated differently as much as possible.
But who knew that this guy was actually a rugged superman with noble black blood in his bones?
Fack! Blame this damn Asian for blowing you up!
He unceremoniously took the ball and stood outside the three-point line, and at this time he obviously didn't want to give in and let the opponent attack first.
At this time, he took a deep breath and decided to correct his weakness just now: "Yellow-skinned monkey, you will regret what you just said!" β
Lin Dong didn't bother anymore.
Trash talk or something, he usually points to the end, the purpose is to arch the fire, not to quarrel.
If this international team wants to win, it must have a boss who can control everyone, and if you want to do this in just a few days, there is nothing better than the word 'domineering', and Lin Dong has always been the best at this.
Now that the goal has been achieved, the rest is already very simple, defeat him!
Bite......
Tournament Level: D (Heads-up Bullfighting)
Points awarded (winning): 1 point.
Complete......
Lin Dong smiled slightly, walked over to Petrus and knelt down.
Strategically contemptuous of opponents, but tactically important, whether based on Petrus's future fame and standard in the NBA, or his current qualification to be invited to the Nike Summit, means that the opponent in front of him is no different from anyone he has met before.
Lin Dong stared at Petrus in front of him with sharp eyes, and faintly spit out only two words from his mouth: "Come on." β
Feeling the concentration in the other party's eyes, Petrus stood still with the ball in both hands, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
can be invited to participate in the Nike summit, the other party can't really be a rookie, each other is the same height, but the other party's arm span is obviously above himself, and his static talent should not be underestimated.
But at the age of 17, with a relatively thin figure, the weakness of Asians is also obvious, that is, the lack of confrontation!
A light smile hung on the corner of Petrus's mouth, and then he turned sideways with the ball.
This Asian should be a technical type, although he is not afraid to compare technology with the other party, but if he can solve the problem in a simpler way, then there is absolutely no need to be complicated.
Boom!
Holding the ball with his left hand, his sideways gaze stared at Lin Dong beside him, a simple back.
I can feel the stability from the other party's lower plate, the center of gravity is pressed very low, and I am unexpectedly energetic, and the core strength is not bad, but it is still inferior to my own strength after all.
Petrus leaned in two times in quick succession, and soon felt the opponent's center of gravity being knocked and began to shift backwards.
Here's your chance!
A glimmer of essence flashed in his eyes, and his right hand was stuck under Lin Dong's armpit and pulled back, and at the same time, he suddenly started to break through to the left side like an armored car.
This is different from those breakthroughs that use speed and change direction, Petrus's breakthrough is very powerful, and the big hand pulling back is like an iron hoop stuck Lin Dong's body, which is to eat the gap in each other's body strength, and use force to force this Asian to crush!
Lin Dong's pupils shrank slightly.
It's a very energetic and rule-based confrontation method...... It's a feeling I haven't felt in a long time.
European players, playing style is very different from Asia and the United States, more brutal but also more practical, very familiar with the rules, always stuck in the tightrope allowed by the rules to dance.
At this time, the opponent's breakthrough is extremely aggressive, and it also wanders between fouls and non-fouls, and people who have not been in contact with this type of player are often stunned as soon as they come up, but this is Lin Dong......
When it comes to the experience of playing against top young players in Europe and the United States, there is probably no second teenage Asian in the world who can be richer than him, but on the contrary, opponents do not know him!
In my previous life, I played from U17 to U19, and in those two or three years, I played a lot of international games, and almost all of them were against this type, and I had already predicted this in my heart.
When Petrus's big hand came, his hand also got stuck and became entangled with Petrus's right arm for the first time.
Petrus immediately felt his right arm being wangled, making it difficult for his body to maintain its usual balance as it broke through, causing it to break through at a significantly slower speed than usual by half a beat, and then felt the Asian 'wrap up'.
The breakthrough action was instantly stillborn, and Petrus was eager to break free from the entwined arms of the two while controlling the ball, but found that it was a little difficult to pull out after the arm was stuck by the other party.
Obviously, he went to pull his body, but he seemed to be caught by him.
Frankly, this defensive move was a bit too big, but Payton and Younas, who were in charge of the decision, watched with interest and didn't mean to blow the whistle.
Foul? What fouls?
Lin Dong seemed to be clamping Petrus's arm, but it was Petrus who went to pull the other first, and this Asian is quite smart that he did not make an obvious arm clamping action, but continued to use his arm to enter the entangled position and continue to exert force to 'break free', but he always controlled the opposite direction of Petrus breaking free, which caused the two to look more like they were entangled and eager to get rid of each other, rather than one party deliberately clamping their arms.
This kind of whistle, even if you want to blow it, it will blow your Petrus foul first!
With the help of the entanglement of the arms of the two, Lin Dong's body was consciously constantly invading forward, and Petrus's attention and strength at this time were almost used to rush to break free of his arms, so that the center of gravity of the lower plate was squeezed away by the other party without knowing it.
Younas secretly exclaimed in his heart, he really didn't expect that this young Asian man would dare to compete with a black man who was obviously bigger than him, although he used a lot of ingenuity and small maneuvers, but his understanding of the rules made him not foul at all.
And in the next second, Petrus used all his strength to forcibly shake off Lin Dong's arm, but at this time, the center of gravity was on the upper body of the hand raised, and Lin Dong only squeezed it slightly, and his feet suddenly stumbled one step, so that there was a trace of mistake in the left hand that controlled the ball.
Lin Dong's long arm immediately cut over, but fortunately, Petrus reacted quickly and hurriedly hugged the ball, but this hug also lost the opportunity to dribble, coupled with the unstable center of gravity, Lin Dong's defense had invaded his position.
At this moment, Petrus felt a little unstable even on his feet, and he barely resisted, so he could only force a dry jump and shoot with Lin Dong's face in front of him.
However, in the case that the center of gravity is unbalanced, and Lin Dong's bounce, arm span and other aspects are above him, the result can already be imagined......
Syllable!
A non-dragging block slapped the basketball thrown by Petrus hard.
"Haha, I actually went head-to-head with Lao Lin, isn't this looking for death?" Zhu Fangyu said with great regret.
It's not a pity for anything else, but at this time, I really wanted to say a few words about yin and yang, but unfortunately I don't know English, and I use Mandarin to go to yin and yang, and people can't understand it, and I feel bored!
He didn't worry at all from the beginning, no matter what kind of European genius you are, can you be more awesome than Boss Yao? Even Boss Yao can only explode with Lao Lin, what kind of thing are you......
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at it with two eyes shining: "This guy is not as good as me!" β
ββ¦β¦ Hey! Rukawa Kaede looked at Petrus on the field and sneered.
Several European players who were still laughing just now kept their mouths shut.
Younas clasped his hands, and the look in his eyes that looked at Lin Dong was obviously a little more interested than just now.
Peyton opened his mouth slightly, and frankly speaking, he just wanted to see this Lin Dong's attack.
He had seen the video of this guy playing NBA rookie on the streets of Yokohama, and his offensive ability was indeed quite good, and now after more than half a year, the opponent's offensive ability should be worth his expectations, but considering his Asian physique, neither the team's top management nor the previous NBA analysts had much expectation of his defense, but he didn't expect it......
How did gloves become famous? is famous for his iron-blooded defense, and Lin Dong's defense just now obviously made Payton feel a little bit of his own style.
Frankly, compared to the clean block at the end, the operation of wrapping arms in front and taking the opportunity to squeeze the opponent's center of gravity is more in line with Payton's wishes.
Defense, I am afraid that few people in this world understand more deeply than him, it is not limited to steals and blocks, although these two statistics are often regarded by all parties as the core embodiment of defensive ability, but he Payton has only won one steal king in the NBA, but is known as the best defensive player on the planet, relying on the restriction of opponents like Lin Dong just now, defensive continuity, stability and aggression, etc.
Use every detail you can to make the attacker uncomfortable, be good at walking the tightrope of rules, but if you catch the slightest loophole and immediately magnify it infinitely until you make a mistake, this is the best defensive understanding on this planet that belongs to his glove Payton!
Moreover, this kind of defense is different from the one or two fairy balls that you occasionally play at a high level, it will be yes, it won't be not, just from the performance of that ball just now, it is enough for Payton to label this Asian defensive ability as an 'SSS', there are no coincidences and surprises at all!
It's more powerful than you think...... Look again!
Peyton couldn't help but swallow.
"Fack!" Petrus couldn't help but let out a national curse.
The ball just hit is really embarrassing! He was purely pulled away by the elevated arm, otherwise how could this kid be able to move himself? And then picked up a heads-up bargain...... If this is a normal game, you will pass the ball, how can you use a strong shot!
βcome onοΌβ He stood on the defensive position and clapped his hands at Lin Dong fiercely, thinking that this guy would spray a few trash words at this time to affect his mentality, but he didn't expect Lin Dong to just walk steadily outside the three-point line.
Feeling the other party's calm, Petrus immediately shut up.
Isn't it just close defense? Who wouldn't? Look at how you attack me!
The moment he threw the basketball to Lin Dong, Petrus was already riveting his position for the first time, and the distance between each other was half a step, and he only needed to guard against his ......
Before the thoughts in Petrus's mind were finished, he immediately saw Lin Dong's body bowing slightly, without the intention of controlling the ball sideways, and actually directly controlled the ball head-on, breaking through to the right side.
Petrus's defensive reaction can be regarded as quite fast, the pace of the first lateral movement is extremely fast, the strong physical explosiveness of the black man, and the talent and reflex arc that can make correct judgments purely by instinct many times, so that his defensive level is actually above that of ordinary high school students, even in the face of five-star high school students in the United States, Petrus has the confidence not to lose his position.
At this time, he blocked the opponent's way in time, and he only felt that the opponent's speed was just like that, but the next second......
Lin Dong's body turned in place, turning like a spinning top, and by the time Petrus realized that the opponent had changed direction, Lin Dong had already cut into his defensive position from the left side!
There is a little delay in the family, and it will not affect today's three watches
