The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Brent and Iguodala kept chanting silently in their hearts and simulating...

Wizards ball possession.

Dayao has indeed been fully opened and is currently on fire.

Facing Sakuragi Hanamichi's continued entanglement, he already had sufficient ways to deal with it.

Dayao finally understood. This kid's success in blocking him before was mostly based on his extraordinary defensive prediction. As long as he disrupted his regular movement habits, he could force the opponent and himself. Fight for basic skills, and when it comes to basic skills, you will never lose.

It was the usual way to escape, but soon Dayao found that it seemed a little more difficult to escape at this time than before.

It's not that the opponent has made any technical progress, but that the opponent's mentality has changed.

He was more focused and performed better than before. This made Sakuragi Hanamichi's entanglement intensity increase by about 10-20% than before. On the other hand, after abandoning his confusion, this kid seemed to be stronger and stronger. Strengthened physical confrontation.

This Japanese boy no longer has the mentality that he must be stopped, but comes for the purpose of pure consumption, and the priority of consumption has been placed above the blockade.

This made Dayao feel that the overall escape time was still the same as before, but the consumption of his physical strength was also significantly increased.

Yao Ming, who rushed to the basket, succeeded again. After receiving a pass from Jordan, he made a tried-and-tested little hook, looking straight at Sakuragi Hanamichi who was walking in front of him.

13:18.

"Roar!" Dayao roared and pumped his fist, boosting the Wizards' morale and continuing the cheers of the MCI Center fans.

A center who has been recognized as the top center in the league, even compared to O'Neal and Duncan, if it weren't for Michael Jordan above his head, if it weren't for the fact that he is from the Dragon Country, he would have been selected as the MVP as early as this year's regular season. Among the forefront, it has become one of the centers of the NBA.

But before the cheers from the MCI Center fans continued to erupt, the Sonics' counterattack had arrived.

It was still the same 'closed door' tactic, but the person who executed it and the way it was executed were something Jordan never expected.

Lin Dong first led Jordan to the right corner and made a mismatch with Iguodala.

Harrington's sense of mismatch is obviously far inferior to Artest's, and he almost collided with Jordan.

In a moment of delay, Iguodala had already rushed towards the top of the three-point arc.

Harrington was chasing after him, but he saw that Sakuragi Hanamichi and Payton had already formed an angle at the top of the three-point arc.

Iguodala rushed into the angle without hesitation, and when he got through the gap between the two, he rushed into the corner without hesitation.

Brent's pass arrived, and Sakuragi Hanamichi completed the closing action in an instant, without even letting Payton, who was cooperating with him, expend any more energy.

Iguodala made an emergency stop and the door was closed!

responsibility? pressure? Defender? The outcome of the game?

All of this was not something he had to consider.

After Lin Dong's explanation and previous demonstrations, all these interfering information were simplified and blocked by Lin Dong.

Iguodala's mind at this time did not have the pressure of Harrington chasing him to defend at all. He knew that Sakuragi Hanamichi and Payton Boss would definitely help him intercept that guy!

At this time, all Iguodala could think about was the position he was in, the basket behind him that always stayed in place, and the three basic moves that were always in his mind.

Come in!

Snapped!

Iguodala received a well-timed pass from Brent.

When he was only thinking about one thing, the position of the basket behind him was extremely clear in his consciousness, and even the angle seemed to have been aligned.

Kick ball, turn around, dry pull!

There are no distractions, just like doing a simple catch, turn and shoot drill on an empty training ground.

call……

As Iguodala turned and jumped, the basketball was sent steadily, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

3 points! Elevator door!

Doug Collins on the sideline stood up directly from his seat on the bench, and Jordan, who was following Lin Dong on the right baseline, also changed his face suddenly.

He suddenly understood. He knew why Lin Dong deliberately chose 'complex' when he could choose 'simple'.

That guy was just helping his teammates find a feel and practice tactics.

In the eyes of that first-year newcomer, what he saw was definitely not the glory of dueling with him as a god, nor was it personal gains and losses, nor was he trying to prove himself.

What that guy thinks about is how to drive the entire team, how to activate the touch and tactical thinking of his teammates, how to connect the entire team, and how to win!

This shouldn't be the way of thinking of a newcomer... Even I never reached such a state when I was in first grade.

Don't talk about your first grade.

Jordan was even a little shaken at this moment. He felt that even now he has not reached this level!

Otherwise, as early as when Lin Dong made his first choice, he should have understood that Lin Dong's purpose was to drive the somewhat collapsed Sakuragi Hanamichi and activate that guy's talent and potential. This was far more important than scoring or winning or losing the ball. Winning or losing is more important than overshadowing the 'god'.

This guy knows his teammates extremely well, and he dares and is willing to trust his teammates. He also has a selfless style of play. He cares about the entire team!

Personal ability can solve many problems, become a hero, and become an object of worship by the world.

But a true team leader should have more than just personal abilities.

I have gone through two comebacks, experienced serious injuries and illnesses, ups and downs, and it was only after I had Yao Ming and my own injuries were limited that I gradually gained this awareness.

Only then would he choose to hand over the game to Yao Ming in the regular season, only then would he choose to hand over the key three-pointer to Harrington in G1, and only then would he choose to trust his teammates more often.

But even after achieving this, he has only just reached this state, and it is far from as thorough as what Lin Dong is doing now.

When it comes to scoring, personal ability, and desire to win, this young man is no longer as good as he was at his peak.

In terms of leadership ability, this young man has even...

Jordan's face was slightly moved at this moment.

The god of basketball, who has never doubted himself, felt a feeling of being surpassed on the court for the first time!

This...is the real superstar!

Uh-huh!

The basketball went hollow into the net and scored a 3-pointer.

13:21!

Iguodala punched hard and bumped shoulders with the nearby Sakuragi Hanamichi.

The SuperSonics bench was filled with jubilation, but the noise in the MCI Center Arena involuntarily weakened at this time.

The three previous games that the Wizards lost in the series all had one characteristic, that is, the SuperSonics' outside perimeter was opened up, while the three games that the Wizards won effectively restricted the other SuperSonics players. Score from outside.

Therefore, from a visual point of view, compared to Lin Dong's nearly invincible scoring ability, whether it is the Wizards' coaches, players, or fans on the court, what they are more afraid of is the SuperSonics' outside shooting.

But now...

luck? Tactics?

"Seal their perimeter! Tyron, don't let him pass the ball easily!" Doug Collins kept shouting from the sidelines.

Jordan gave Lin Dong a meaningful look.

He saw a certain degree of transcendence of himself from this young man, he also saw the threat of the opponent, and saw the difficulty of this game.

But God also has divine dignity and pride.

Jordan chuckled, his eyes showing a fighting spirit that surpassed anything he had ever seen before.

The significance of this championship was once just a perfect ending to his career, and it would not affect his historical status in the slightest.

But when he suddenly realized that the challenger was stronger than all previous opponents, the meaning of this crown suddenly became different.

If you don't defeat this young man, then you are not qualified to be called a god.

Even if the outside world doesn't think so and fans all over the world don't think so, I will think so, and even my first six championships will lose the color they should have!

——I will win the game in my own way and try my best!

He did not provoke Lin Dong or talk trash again, but entered an absolute game state at this moment.

Wizards ball possession.

Lin Dong could feel that Jordan seemed to have entered another state at this time.

Focused, serious, even excited to the point of trembling!

"are you ready?"

Jordan, who was holding the ball outside the three-point line, only said this sentence, without any intention of waiting for Lin Dong's response before making a sneak attack. When the words fell, his whole body suddenly started to move like a taut cheetah.

Super low body breakthrough!

The powerful explosion made Lin Dong feel an increased sense of oppression just by leaning forward.

Perhaps the speed and skills have not improved much compared to before, but the determined momentum has been improved by more than one level. This brings a sense of mental and mental oppression to the defender, and the difficulty of defense suddenly increases. It seems to have improved a lot.

After all, he is in state 3, and Jordan's evil smile before made Lin Dong alert enough.

The first step was to follow closely, but what followed was an extreme big pendulum clock that surprised Lin Dong.

Don’t slow down and change direction!

Lin Dong's eyes suddenly froze.

The skill of changing direction without slowing down is difficult for most so-called top players.

Because the difficulty of this move itself is four points.

The first is the imagination of the creator, the second is the user's ability to balance and control the body, the third is explosive power, and the fourth is the wear and tear on the knees, and it is an irreparable wear and tear that makes all players lose their ability even a little bit. It’s daunting even after trying it.

But now, Jordan has seen the tricks, and there is no difficulty in imagination; the ability to balance and control the body, and even explosive power, does the God of Basketball lack this kind of thing?

As for the fourth point...

From Jordan's extremely excited face at this moment, Lin Dong could roughly read his thoughts.

This guy has not considered any knee problems for a long time. He is playing this game as the last game of his career.

The old guy has only one purpose, and that is to defeat himself!

If what I felt before was Jordan's game mode, then at this moment, it was the real sharp fighting mode.

The kind that means you will live if you win, and you will die if you lose!
