Chapter 484 The Hidden Sixth Person
How to prevent back tilt?
This is an unanswerable topic in the basketball world.
There are no more than three methods to prevent shooting. Either use physical confrontation to force the opponent to change his movements, or use close-fitting steals and wrapping movements to change the opponent's jumping and shooting rhythm to reduce the hit rate, or block the shot or face to block the shooter's sight.
But faced with such a large recoil, you can't get close to him, you can't get up against him, and you can't even block your opponent's sight.
For ordinary defenders, this move is unsolvable.
But for Kobe Bryant...he himself is an expert in fadeaways. Although he is not as exaggerated as Lin Dong's nearly 45-degree angle at this time, he is well aware of some things to be afraid of when shooting fadeaways.
If you want to affect the opponent's back to this degree, you can only try your best to jump as high as possible, reach the maximum height through the extreme stretch of your body and arm span, and force the opponent to adjust the arc height of the shot at the moment of shooting.
You still can't cover the opponent, and you can't even touch the ball at all, but forcing the opponent to make arc adjustments will inevitably affect the rhythm and feel of his shot. In fact, it is already a success.
At this time, Kobe didn't do anything extra at all. He tried his best to take off and his extremely stretched body and wingspan made people feel that his maximum height at this time even exceeded the top edge of the backboard!
The resolute take-off and the shadow-blocking figure were obviously beyond Lin Dong's prediction. It would be impossible for Kobe to jump so high in a normal block, but...
call!
Lin Dong had to temporarily adjust the arc of his shot and throw the basketball high before his body was about to lose balance.
At this moment, fans across the United States held their breath, watching the arc drawn by the basketball in the air, and they were extremely nervous.
Enter? Not going in?
Bang!
I saw the basketball suddenly pop up.
The Zen master on the sidelines suddenly clenched his fists with excitement.
This not only means that Lin Dong missed a ball, but also means that this guy who has been invincible in the NBA for three years finally has someone who can guard him one-on-one!
——Wow!
——Kobe! Kobe!
The fans at Staples Center were so excited that they all stood up.
Geniuses know what kind of psychological shadow the American fans have had under the rule of the Asian devil. During the Olympics, the American team directly defended two super giants!
But now, we finally have a king who can challenge Lin Dong one-on-one!
——Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! division……
The scene was filled with cheers, and Yao Ming under the basket had already blocked the backboard position, but the next second...
However, the basketball that bounced up fell straight back towards the basket.
The arc of the shot was high enough, which also meant that the ball almost 'dropped' on the rim instead of hitting it, so the angle of the rebound was straight, and the moment it fell back, it scared the crowd of cheers. Life and death are extinguished.
哐, 哐, 哐哐哐…
I saw the basketball bouncing on the rim, and every bounce seemed to hit the hearts of fans across the United States hard, until it bounced seven or eight times.
Uh-huh!
The basketball finally slipped out of the frame, and Yao Ming, who had been waiting in fear for a long time, suddenly jumped up and grabbed the rebound.
Lin Dong was guarded! Got the rebound too!
This should have been a time for cheers, but instead it was eerily quiet for no reason.
There was nothing I could do. Those few bumps just now really scared the fans at the scene. They hadn't even taken a breath yet. They had to take a few big breaths to calm down before talking.
Meanwhile, the Lakers' counterattack has arrived.
Kobe and Nash, who were closest to the backcourt, immediately ran back, followed closely by Lin Dong and Rukawa Kaede.
Needless to say, the defense of the former went without saying, but after experiencing the shock of Lin Dong being 'stopped' just now, Rukawa Kaede seemed to have forgotten his worries and nervousness for a while, and his reaction and speed improved a lot. The tight following left Kobe and Nash with no room to catch the ball.
Payton woke up with 120,000 energy and hung up Doug Christie. Even Odom was desperately entangled by Iguodala. Although he was 10 centimeters tall, Iguodala was in a positional battle. There may be nothing that can be done against him, but Iguodala, who plays sports and defends with all his strength, is enough to make it difficult for him to find a safe space to receive the ball.
The sudden full-court marking made the SuperSonics' defense almost perfect. Seeing that the Lakers' counterattack seemed to have no chance, everyone ignored the other one-Yao Ming!
Yao Ming, who got the rebound, saw that there was no passing route, so he actually chose to dribble the ball himself.
Chandler was obviously a little uncomfortable with seeing this 226-centimeter big man controlling the ball. After being stunned, he subconsciously rushed towards Yao Ming's right hand side of the ball, trying to complete a steal.
A 226cm big man handling the ball? Control your hair!
The height at which you shoot the ball is at least about one meter, your dribbling speed, ball control route, etc... This is simply too good!
But Chandler had just made the save when he saw that the 226cm big man actually put his right hand behind his back while charging forward, and controlled the ball behind his back. Not only did his speed with the ball not slow down at all, but he also directly Chandler, who had rashly struck, was thrown away behind him.
The 226cm tall guy is doing fancy things!
The SuperSonics bench was stunned, and the fans who had just taken a breath and hadn't had time to cheer for Kobe were all stunned and happy. This was really exciting, and the previous one was still there. Before I had time to refuel, the latter one had already followed.
Chandler pounced and immediately turned around to catch up. However, after losing weight, Dayao was not much slower than him. At this time, he had taken the lead and had already pushed Chandler away by two or three steps. He was even chasing after him. No pursuit.
But seeing that Yao Ming had already crossed the half court in a few strides, Iguodala, who was closest, had to give up Odom and come up to defend.
The SuperSonics' rotation defense started at the first moment, and it was completely based on instinct. Iguodala attacked Dayao, Payton attacked Odom, Lin Dong attacked Doug Christie, and even Rukawa Kaede has always been against the SuperSonics rotation defense. The guy who had difficulty integrating into the system was so blessed at this moment that he kept up with the rhythm and pounced on Kobe. Chandler, who was slightly behind, immediately pounced on Nash, who had been missed on the left outside line.
The perfect switching and supplementary defense made SuperSonics' rotation defense almost flawless at this moment.
But facing Dayao...Iguodala is a loophole!
The huge difference in height means that Iguodala has no ability to block Yao Ming. He doesn't even have to try. All he wants to do is block Yao Ming from the three-point line and prevent his advancement speed in order to make money. Dele followed up and completed another switch of defense.
But Yao Ming didn't give him time or chance. At this time, Heqiu stood outside the three-point line, ignoring Iguodala's defense, staring at the basket, raising his feet slightly... No need to jump, it feels just like an ordinary person shooting a free throw.
Snapped!
call!
That was the sound of Iguoda being unable to stop the car, hitting Yao Ming, and throwing the basketball at the same time.
Foul!
Iguodala was shocked and angry. Who would have thought that this 226-centimeter big man would suddenly stop suddenly? Who would have thought that this big man would not only be able to dribble behind his back, but even shoot three-pointers? ? What a hell...
I saw the basketball flying steadily through the air...
Uh-huh!
beep!
The basketball hollowed into the net, accompanied by the referee's whistle.
"The goal is valid! SuperSonics No. 9 committed a collision foul and received an additional penalty!"
The score on the electronic scoreboard jumped again, 11:2!
The scene suddenly became quiet.
A 9-point difference... and with Yao Ming's 95.8% free throw shooting rate in the past two seasons, this free throw is obviously a point problem, which is a 10-point difference.
The fans at Staples Center finally realized what was happening. After a brief period of silence, they responded to Kobe's previous defense, coupled with Yao Ming's rebounding, dribbling, and three-pointers. The cheers for the ball were all vented at this moment.
——Yao! Yao! Yao! Yao!
——Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!
——Faq! Farke! Wuwuwuwu, we are the strongest! We are the strongest!
——The invincible Lakers! An unbeatable combination! Long live Yao Ke! Long live the Lakers!
——Definitely win! We will definitely win!
——Supersonics will lose! What a bullshit dynasty, what a bullshit invincibility, I will step on you today, basketball is our game!
——Does that Asian know what the real holy land of basketball is now?
Countless people in the arena stands, the Lakers bench, and even the fans across the United States sitting in front of the TV cheered wildly.
They have been riding on that Asian's neck for so long that they have almost forgotten that Americans are the best people on the planet at playing basketball!
But now, from Kobe's one-on-one defense to the Lakers' unanswerable goals against the SuperSonics' perfect defense, the Lakers have shown enough dominance on both offense and defense. This is really the first time... the first time someone can Check and balance that Asian!
The fans at the scene were crazy, and the fans across the United States were also crazy. The entire United States was reveling, as if they had already won the game and defeated the invincible Oriental!
Correspondingly, it was the extremely quiet SuperSonics bench.
Not only the substitutes, but even McMillan was a little stunned at this moment.
In three seasons, this was the first time that the Sonics were beaten by their opponents by 10 points at the start with Lin Dong on the court!
this……
He couldn't help but look at the field at this time.
He expected to see surprise or surprise on Lin Dong's face, but unexpectedly, all he saw was a slight smile.
Lin Dong licked the corner of his mouth.
Kobe's effective defense is based on reading his own psychology, and it seems that he has indeed found a way to defend himself.
but……
Lin Dong noticed Rukawa Kaede's expression at this time.
The confusion on the guy's face disappeared, as did the worry about gain and loss.
His breathing began to become balanced, his eyes gradually became determined, and the former coldness seemed to have returned to that guy's face.
In Lin Dong's eyes, Rukawa Kaede is a guy who has always been conflicted and struggling inside.
He has a heart to pursue the peak and is willing to make every effort to achieve it. He even found the secret and rhythm of his own shooting because of his broken finger.
But because of Lin Dong and Sakuragi's "omnipotence", Rukawa Kaede always fell into self-doubt. He always believed that his talent was not enough, and he always believed that he could not catch up with the pace of those two people no matter how much he pursued. .
But in fact, if you can reach the NBA court, how can you say that you are not talented enough?
And why must we catch up? Isn’t it good to be yourself?
This guy may not be able to become a super giant like himself and Sakuragi, but he can also be himself. Lin Dong feels that as long as this guy opens up his heart and has less inner drama, he will become the strongest player in the history of the Sonics. The sixth person!
His self-doubt made him unable to wake up from the ridicule.
But when everyone in the stadium began to mock the Sonics, when he saw that even the invincible Lin Dong was being guarded, when he saw that this team was now in trouble on both offense and defense, and urgently needed someone to step forward and save it...
Not for his own performance, but for the team that saved him when he was on the verge of despair!
Those things that made him worry about gains and losses completely disappeared in an instant.
This is the Rukawa Kaede the Supersonics need!
The Sonics without Sakuragi are definitely not the most perfect, but the Sonics with one of the best sixth men will definitely surprise the league.
Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh.
I thought I would have to waste some effort, I thought I would have to work hard on my own, but I didn’t expect...
Thank you very much.
Thank you Lakers, thank you Kobe and Dayao, thank you for forcing out the Sonics' hidden sixth man!
