Chapter 523 Rookie, welcome to an era that makes you desperate!
"ball!"
Coming to the low post on the left wing, Lao Wang faced up, with his left foot outside the left line of the paint area, his left elbow against Duncan, and his right hand asking for the ball.
This time Duncan was fully focused and didn't dare to look at the beauty anymore.
In the tactical meeting, head coach Dunleavy has already analyzed that if Old K is in a strong position, the ball will probably be played by him. If he is just wandering in the low post, it will probably be played from the outside. So now he thinks that the ball will be played by Old K himself.
beat.
The ball was passed in, Lao Wang held it high, paused, and in the next moment, he suddenly started to retreat.
The withdrawal method of the plum blossom step is not a step back. It refers to the step of getting rid of the defender and changing the direction of the attack. Therefore, when the defender is behind the back and the defender moves forward, it is also a withdrawal method.
But this time, he moved forward. While moving, he turned around and retreated, completing the facing basket.
Moreover, the direction of retreat was not straight ahead, but at an angle of 45 degrees. When he landed on the ground basket, he was closer to the bottom, and Duncan was in front and right of him.
The distance to retreat is not large, only a small step, within an arm's length.
"Attack with the basket?!"
Lakers fans immediately became excited when they saw it. In addition to watching the scene where K knocked over his opponent in a back-up, they also liked to watch the scene when K knocked over his opponent face to face and finally completed a heavy dunk.
"Noodle basket?"
Duncan paused in his heart, and when he was about to reach out to intercept and move down to block the defense, the old K diagonally opposite had already half-patted.
"call!"
Just after finishing his retreat, while dribbling the ball, Lao Wang immediately started his step, and with an extremely fierce step, he plunged into the paint area with the sound of wind, like a huge steel gun.
.
One big step instantly erased the small step back. His right foot passed directly over Duncan and stepped into the paint. With one step and one step, he completed a frontal breakthrough with the ball.
"Peng!"
Duncan, who was moving sideways to the baseline, was hit on his right shoulder. He spun around and fell to the floor with a crash. At this time, Wang Tiejun had already jumped up and flew towards Da Meng who was returning to defend the basket.
"What a bastard!"
Dameng, who had just jumped back to the basket, was startled when he saw old K flying towards him. If he was hit, would his old arms and legs be able to bear it? He quickly dodged toward the baseline.
"Bang!"
But after half a beat, the next moment, Lao Wang's huge body collided with him, knocking him over, and at the same time, there was a fierce sound of a basket exploding above his head.
"yeah!"
Tremendous shouts instantly rang out, and countless Lakers fans stood up from their seats, cheering wildly.
"Oh ho ho ho..."
An on-site commentator made a series of excited screams, and then yelled: "Dameng chose to avoid it, which was really a smart decision, but he was a little slower and could not escape the ending of being dunked and knocked over, haha...
…”
"Ha ha……"
All the Lakers fans in the audience also laughed.
Another on-site commentator roared excitedly: "Old K charged Tim Duncan head-on. He knocked over the rookie, then dunked on Big Dream, and knocked over Big Dream again.
In the first position attack, Old K began to show his brutal rule to the world. With one vs. two, he defeated the two big insiders that the Blazers were proud of. He was using the most cruel way to attack
With the opponent's morale, he is proving to the world that this is his dynasty, the era of behemoths."
"The Age of Behemoths! The Age of Behemoths! The Age of Behemoths..."
All the Lakers fans in the audience stood up and kept raising their arms and cheering, forming a unified voice that was getting louder and louder, which was earth-shattering.
"ah!"
On the field, after landing, Lao Wang vigorously waved his iron bowl-sized fists and shouted excitedly at Da Meng on the floor.
Seeing the way Old K was yelling at him, Dameng was so angry that his nose was smoking. He got up and pushed Old Wang and cursed: "Old K, you're going to detain Duncan, why are you detaining me?"
Duncan, who had just gotten up from behind, was confused. Suddenly, he slapped his head and face several times, with a look of sorrow on his face. I was so naive. I had learned nothing about psychology. I thought I had met someone.
Good brother, it turns out that this is a traitor who stabs in the back!
"Don't worry, he will be next." A ferocious smile appeared on Lao Wang's face, and when he returned to defense, he turned his head and glanced at Duncan behind him.
Duncan couldn't help but tremble when he saw Lao Wang's extremely ferocious smile and the white light on his big white teeth, as if he was seeing a ferocious tiger grinning at him.
Seeing Lao Wang running away, Dameng came over and patted Duncan and said, "Tim, don't hurt yourself, be careful, Lao K wants to eat us, we have to join forces and kill him first."
"Um."
Duncan nodded seriously.
Trail Blazers offense.
Dameng was in the low right wing with Fordson behind him to get the ball.
The little flying squirrel was holding the ball at the top of the arc. The Western Conference Finals was too important, and he didn't dare to mess around. The coaching staff decided to let the outside line serve the inside line, and as a player, he had to obey.
However, Kobe Bryant, who is almost twenty centimeters taller than him, is standing in front of him, and with his wingspan, there is at least a height difference of thirty centimeters. He is not easy to pass the ball, and the basic tactic arranged by the coaching staff is a breakout tactic, so he immediately started
breakthrough.
With a turn and dribble, like a mouse, he nimbly bypassed Kobe and started from the left elbow.
Kobe is still a little young now, and his defense is not as good as it is. He was a beat late and failed to keep up, which is embarrassing.
From the low position on the left wing, Lao Wang moved one step to the front left, preparing to intercept the little flying squirrel.
Duncan did not take the opportunity to enter the paint area, but took a step up and stood at the left waist, ready to receive the ball from Flying Squirrel at any time.
He shoots on the board from this position of nearly two points. If there is a defender, his shooting rate can reach 44.3%. This is also the position where he takes the most shots, accounting for 33.4% of his shots, which is more than attacking at the basket.
But if there is no defender in front of him, I can estimate modestly that he is even sure to increase his shooting percentage to 90%, which is 90% guaranteed and there is no need to get into the basket at all.
The little flying squirrel rushed into the paint area and saw the ferocious beast standing in front of him. How could he dare to charge forward and seek death? The shot-blocking leader for two consecutive years was not someone to be trifled with, so he immediately chose to distribute the ball.
While continuing to rush towards Old K, the left hand holding the ball pushed the basketball outward at the moment it bounced off the floor, and the ball immediately flew towards Duncan, who was 1.5 meters away.
The ball left the little flying squirrel's hand, flew at most a foot in the air, and then fell into Duncan's big hands. The next moment, without any pause, Duncan took off and shot from the board.
"What the hell!"
Lao Wang watched Little Flying Squirrel pass the ball and watched Daidai catch the ball and hit the board. He was only one step away from Duncan, but he was unable to do anything and couldn't react. Daidai's movements were too simple.
"Bang!"
The ball bounced off the board and fell into the basket accurately.
"Good job, Tim." Dameng encouraged.
Duncan clenched his fists and nodded heavily. Every time he scored a goal on Old K's head, his confidence would become stronger.
2:4, Lakers attack.
Lao Wang did not forcefully demand the ball, and immediately took over the attack from the outside. The three defenders spread out and all had single opportunities. Richmond and Kobe asked Mark Price for the ball at the same time.
Mark Price gave the ball to Kobe, because Kobe has the skills of old K and is more efficient in singles than Rock
A little higher, and the Trail Blazers' perimeter defense is not good, so they can just use Kobe's singles advantage.
"The Trail Blazers' perimeter defense is very poor. The Lakers should play more on the outside to share the scoring pressure on the inside." Zhang Lijia said at this time.
"Yes, after several series in the playoffs, Lao K's physical exertion was the greatest." Su Qun said.
Kobe held the ball on the right three-point line and played Del in singles. He rushed left and right and came to a position one step inside the three-pointer. Then suddenly he hit Del with an iron mountain. With a bang, Del was knocked back half a step and took the ball.
Only when you have enough shooting space can you calmly take a jump shot.
The dream below is not as big as when he was young. When he was young, he could make up for the three-point line from the low post, but now he can't, and he can only watch Kobe Bryant take action.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit two points from far away.
"not bad."
Lao Wang nodded, Kobe's shot was very reasonable.
Zhang Lili said in the live broadcast: "Kobe's skills are very comprehensive. As long as he practices for another season or two and his body and skills are mature, his singles ability will definitely be among the top five in the league."
Looking back, Del was hit by Kobe, and he wanted to return one. After passing the ball from Little Flying Squirrel, he faked a sudden shot and forced a jumper without being able to shake off the defender, but was blocked by Kobe in the face.
, the ball was a little short on a blind shot, hit the basket and bounced, and was taken by Danny Fortson.
"Hey, brother, you should improve the rationality of your actions. You didn't get rid of me just now. Your actions were very unreasonable."
After completing a successful defense, an excited Kobe started talking trash in a sincere tone.
"Get away!"
Lydel rolled his eyes in anger.
"Give it to the inside man, give it to the inside man first," Dunleavy shouted loudly on the sidelines.
"Give the ball to Old K and let him blow up their inside line." Next to him, Lakers assistant coach Bill Potka shouted loudly.
"Humph!" Dunleavy glared at Potka, his face dark with anger.
The Lakers came to the frontcourt, and Richmond got the ball at the three-point line on the left wing. He used the small one to beat the big one and beat Walter Williams.
Williams is 203 centimeters tall and is a high-quality role player. He was traded to the Trail Blazers by the Menglong because of injuries and a decline in form, while Rock's form is still at the end of its peak. Where he can't keep up, he is suddenly caught in the face.
.
Richmond held the ball to the left elbow area, forcing Duncan below to move upward. At this time, the former pulled the ball up, and then suddenly threw the ball directly over Duncan's head.
"not good!"
The ball flew over his head, and Duncan, who had no time to block it, knew something was wrong.
"Bang!"
The next moment, there was a violent sound of the basket exploding behind my head. When I looked back, I saw old K hanging on the basket.
"This guy?"
Dameng shook his head. With Richmond's breakthrough just now, he was also constantly returning to defense. When Old K caught the ball and dunked, he had already returned to the basket, but faced the attack on the basket like a wolf.
Tiger's old king, he didn't dare to go forward, so he could only block the shot from one side, but he didn't get it.
It's not that I'm afraid of being dunked from the front. Anyway, I've been dunked by Old K countless times and I'm used to it. It's because I've been knocked down once just now, and it was a sideways fall with a spin. I'm pretty lucky not to be injured.
Well, he is already old and does not dare to use a handful of old bones to head-on block a giant beast like Old K that weighs more than ten kilograms more than him.
"Surprise break tactics, this is the harm caused by weak outside defense. It will make it easy for the opponent's outside line to break through, forcing our own inside line to make up for the defense, and then giving the opponent's inside line an opportunity to take advantage." Zhang Liji shook his head.
"Just now, Little Flying Squirrel was using a surprise attack tactic, and Old K couldn't defend himself. This time, he's getting exactly the same thing in return." Su Qun said with a smile.
2:8, the Lakers lead by 6 points at home, and the Trail Blazers attack.
Dameng backed Fordson's ball in the low post on the right wing. After receiving the ball, he swayed up and down, shook the defender, and then turned around. Facing Old K who returned to defend the basket, he had two choices. One was to choose the left midfielder.
Duncan, one is to take action himself.
To Duncan, but Old K blocks in the middle, the pass may be interrupted. Four regular season games have proven this. Old K's arms are long enough to cut off the connection between him and Duncan.
"brush!"
With a small front hook shot two meters away from the basket, Dameng chose to take the shot himself and hit a goal.
4:8, Lakers attack.
Lao Wang didn't take position on the last ball, but this time as soon as he reached the low post on the left wing, he immediately made a strong position.
"I just promised Da Meng that I will deduct one from you, rookie, be careful!" he reminded solemnly.
"Come here." Duncan said expressionlessly.
As a super No. 1 pick, he has strong confidence in himself and pride in himself. So what if he is the number one player in active service, Old K?
"Crack!"
The outside line is wide open, Lao Wang catches the ball in hand, and the next moment, the withdrawal method starts. While taking a small step back, he changes from back to the basket to facing the basket.
His retreat was still the same as before, in a diagonal direction, avoiding Duncan directly in front, making it easier for the next breakthrough.
In the low post on the right wing of the weak side, Dameng's nerves were also tense. As long as Old K broke through, he would immediately return to defend the basket.
"Again?"
Duncan had just suffered a loss, and when he saw Old K using this trick again, he became more vigilant.
The next moment, while dribbling, Lao Wang started his stride and took a step forward.
Following Lao Wang's step, Duncan immediately took a step back to the diagonal side and retreated into the reasonable collision zone.
This time he did not move sideways. Knowing that Old K's pace was very fast and his sideways movement would be half a beat slower, he chose to retreat backwards. According to his estimation, he could just block Old K.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Lao Wang braked and stopped in front of Duncan. At the same time, his left hand holding the ball pulled the ball behind him, and he caught it with his right hand. With his back dribbling, the ball reached the right side, just in time to avoid Duncan's big hand that stabbed the ball.
The next moment, he struck again.
But in this step, he changed the direction and broke through to the front right, avoiding Duncan in front of him.
Duncan also reacted very quickly and immediately took a step back to the basket.
At this time, Dameng had already rushed to the front of the basket, forming a one-on-one encirclement and outflanking with Duncan.
But at this moment, Lao Wang was completely unafraid of the two men's double-teams. He directly joined the ball, kicked his feet violently, took a step forward, and jumped towards Duncan under the basket.
"Front buckle!"
A live commentator shouted loudly.
"..."
Seeing Wang Tiejun trying to dunk Duncan head-on, the nerves of everyone at the scene were instantly tense.
Duncan couldn't get out of the way like Dameng just did. He jumped up and blocked the shot with his hands raised.
On the upper side, Dameng also jumped up and pressed forward with his right hand, trying to block the shot from the side.
When Lao Wang was about to forcefully dunk Duncan, two big hands blocked the space in front of him, and a big hand pressed down from the right.
"drink!"
With an angry roar in his throat, he exerted force in his waist and abdomen, his muscles bulged and his blood surged, and his arms holding the ball instantly hit the basket.
"Pah! Pah!"
There was a loud whipping sound, and two big hands hit his ball and hands, but this could not stop him from dunking hard.
The fingers of his hands were like iron hooks, and he completely smashed the ball until it was severely deformed. After holding up Duncan and Dameng's blocks, at the moment when his body fell, he used force to smash their arms and smashed the ball into the basket.
.
"Bang!"
As the fierce explosion of the basket sounded, the 121-kilogram Duncan flew backwards one meter in the air as if he had been blown away. With a bang, he landed on the floor and slid for more than three meters.
"drop!"
The referee's whistle sounded.
"Ouch!"
The next moment, like a volcano erupting, huge cheers and shouts drowned everything. A second later, the fans' shouts became a tsunami.
"He dunked Tim Duncan head-on! Old K dunked the super No. 1 pick, he crushed the super No. 1 pick head-on, and he dunked away Tim Duncan..."
The on-site commentator's roar was like thunder and lasted for a long time.
Countless Lakers fans were cheering heartily. Seeing Old K dunk on Duncan, some fans' last thoughts about this super No. 1 pick disappeared.
To be honest, some Lakers fans were not willing to accept Duncan's peak performance since his debut, but now their unwillingness has been wiped away by Lao Wang's extremely strong performance.
"Old K broke out! The Lakers are on the rise! The momentum at this home court is too strong. If the Blazers players can't stand it, it will be over." Su Qun said excitedly.
Zhang Lili said cautiously: "Dameng is a veteran, and Duncan's psychology is also very stable. They are not chaotic, so there should be no big problems.
But today the Tiejun played too strongly and brutally, and Duncan and Dameng were targeted again. I think even the two of them will be psychologically hit and affected."
On the court, Lao Wang spat trash talk at Duncan: "Rookie, welcome to my era. I can tell you for sure that this will be an era that makes you feel desperate."
"Hoo ho ho..."
Duncan, who was sitting on the floor, was panting and shaking his head, feeling a little dizzy.
"Tim, are you okay?" Dameng ran over and asked.
"It's okay." Duncan gasped in response.
Dameng held Duncan up with both hands, turned back and glared at Lao Wang and said: "Old K, if you want to teach a rookie a lesson, you don't have to use such a heavy hand. What will happen if you fail? Tim respects you very much."
Lao Wang, who was also panting, laughed and said: "Dameng, you are indeed old and your mentality has changed. The old gangster has become a kind big brother."
Da Meng was startled and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He went to the Trail Blazers. The owner, Paul Allen, was very kind to him and even invited him to a private yacht for a few days during the offseason. Therefore, he very much hoped to win a championship with Duncan for the Trail Blazers and did not want to see Duncan injured.
