Chapter three hundred and ninety first thoughts(1/2)
Facing Jason Collins, who had been fighting with me for four games, I didn't give him a chance when jumping the ball. I used my superman bounce, jumped up high, and rapped the basketball racquet behind me, and then ran to the frontcourt without looking back.
I was running hard without looking back. I didn't know what would happen behind me, but I believe Chauncey Billups, and I believe he will handle everything with his own strength. All I have to do is to run to the frontcourt as much as possible, get the basketball, attack, and attack...
I encountered a lot of trouble in this year's playoffs. Not only did I not take a slight advantage in the confrontation with the Detroit Pistons Ben Wallace, but I even did not play much role in the first four games of the Eastern Conference Finals with the Nets due to my opponent's strange blockade tactics. Although the Wizards also won two games, it was all the credit from the outside.
Now, the Wizards' outside advantage collapsed. The Wizards' pure outside line is Michael Jordan, and Karon Butler, who is still in the rookie period, can no longer rely on the outside to compete for the world. The Wizards can only rely on me, a big center that has been thoroughly studied by the opponent. Only when I explode completely can the Wizards have the possibility of winning the first line.
Michael Jordan was running fast and half a step ahead of me on the left side. On his side was Kelly Kittels, who was constantly squeezing the former god. On my side was Kenyon Martin, a guy who was almost comparable to the defender. Karon Butler protected Chauncey Billups' advance in the backcourt. Brandon Haywood was still moving slowly in the center line.
Faced with the Nets' rapid retreat, the Wizards' fast break seemed to have been strangled, but Michael Jordan, who was running rapidly, suddenly made a gesture at me, a gesture that only internal players of the Wizards can understand.
I didn't think. I didn't think at all, and I stepped onto Michael like a conditioned reflex, and stopped suddenly, blocking Kyrikitels who was chasing Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan crawled over me. At that moment, there was no one beside Michael Jordan, and the great Mr. Halibut passed the basketball over at that moment.
Michael Jordan received the basketball, but Kenyon and Martin, who were chasing me, suddenly stood in front of Michael Jordan.
No one underestimated Michael Jordan. Even if he was over forty years, Kenyon Martin stared at Michael Jordan with wide eyes and held Jordan's body tightly with his strong body.
A person is defined as a god, you can imagine how strong he is. Facing Kenyon and Martin forcing defense, Michael Jordan dribbled the ball under his crotch, pulled a step back, then jumped up high, raised the basketball with both hands, and leaned back greatly. He threw the basketball in his hand.
No!
This is not a basketball shot!
This is the basketball that has been circulated.
There was already a guy wearing the No. 10 Wizards uniform under the basket jumping high, waiting for the arrival of the basketball in the air.
Yes!
That was me, I correctly understood what Michael Jordan meant. After I finished the pick-and-roll for Michael Jordan, I squeezed Carrickits hard and blocked his pace. When he started again, I had already entered the paint area. I jumped high and waited for Michael Jordan's pass in the air.
The basketball was pushed into the basket hard by me. There was no technology at all. It was completely violent. The entire basketball stand was pulled into a bow by my huge force. When I let go of my hand and jumped down, the entire basketball stand was shaking violently, making a buzzing sound.
The stadium staff had already started running into the stadium, holding various tools in their hands, preparing to carry out a series of repairs to the basketball stand.
"Great job!" Michael Jordan shouted at me with a stern face as he retreated.
"It will be even better to win this game!" I responded.
"Then win this game!" Michael Jordan shouted loudly.
....
The Wizards' first ball was somewhat unexpected, and they completely used the rhythm of fast attack to capture the Nets' basket. It was clean and neat, and it greatly increased morale, but no matter how much morale it increased, it could not shake Jason Kidd's extremely eager heart for the championship. He was still dribbling without any rush, running towards the frontcourt step by step.
"That ball just now is really great!" Jason Collins, who had been smiling, suddenly came over and said to me.
"Yeah!" I nodded softly and ignored him, but Jason Collins was still chattering:
"But no matter how good you play, you will definitely lose this game! Give up!"
I frowned. Jason Collins, a rash man, obviously also thought that the Wizards had just left the final struggle, and all they could do was struggle. The result of the struggle was just a matter of time for death, either early or late, but the final result was nothing different, they were swept out of the floor.
My heart seemed to be affected, and my mood became a little heavy. When I was stunned, Jason Kidd passed the basketball out. Brandon Haywood, who was in a position to defend with me, did not defend Kenyon Martin at once, let the spring man fly into the inside line, and received the basketball, jumped high, preparing for a powerful dunk.
I slammed Jason Collins, who blocked me, tried to knock him away, jumped up from the side and gave Kenyon Martin a hot pot.
But Jason Collins only took a step back and was still blocking me, and he stretched out his arms to interfere with my defense.
I could only jump up from Jason Collins, stretched out my arm and tried to lay out a solid line of defense under the basket.
However, this line of defense was still a little weak for Kenyon Martin. Kenyon Martin thrust his waist in the air, which slightly extended his time to stagnate the air for a little while. Then, he swung the basketball with both hands and made a very beautiful windmill dunk in the air.
The basketball stand made a "buzzing" whistling sound.
Kenyon Martin was smiling proudly on the basket, Jason Collins tilted his head and was still smiling at me. Jason Kidd backed and trotted backwards.
Kenyon Martin jumped down and stood in front of me in one step. He said proudly: "My slam dunk should be a little more beautiful than your slam dunk!"
provocative!
This is a naked provocation. This guy Kenyon Martin is using his more ornamental dunk than me to challenge my nerves.
"What do you want? Are you showing off? You are only at this level!" I sarcastically.
"I don't want to do anything! I just want to teach you a lesson and let you know how to respect seniors!"
"Hmph!" I hummed coldly and counterattacked: "I will tell you how I respect my seniors!"
"Then I'll wait!" Kenyon Martin said coldly.
I suppressed my anger, said nothing else, and turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.
"Give me this ball!" I said to Michael Jordan lightly. I hope to get this ball back and give Kenyon Martin, who was smiling proudly in front of me, to let him know how I respect him.
Michael Jordan looked at me seriously and said seriously: "Please pay attention to their clamping defenses and don't be fooled by them!"
Clamping defense! The Nets' defense against me was one-on-one on the surface. But at the moment I turned around, three people clamping defense against me. This was a trick they used to deal with me. They almost completely freeze me in the first four games.
I nodded vigorously and said to Michael Jordan: "I understand!"
"Don't force it! If it really doesn't work, I'm right by your side!" Michael Jordan added.
I nodded vigorously again, indicating that I understood what Michael Jordan meant.
Chauncey Billups dribbled in the frontcourt, and Michael Jordan told him through gesture that the ball was to be handed over to me to play. Chauncey Billups' face was full of surprise when he learned this information. This made his movements have a flaw in that moment, but Jason Kidd's hand stretched out his broken ball and was blocked by Chauncey Billups' back. Then Chauncey Billups used the defensive gap created by Jason Kidd's hand reaching out to intercept the ball and suddenly drilled in.
Carrickits was pestering Michael Jordan, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance against Michael Jordan. The only one who came out to make up for defense was Richard Jefferson.
Keith Van Horn's departure made Richard Jefferson. This year's Richard Jefferson is not on the same level as last year's Richard Jefferson, but that means he is far from qualified in offense and defense. Although he once sent big hats in defense, he caused my offensive fouls in succession.
Chauncey Billups shook his wrist and the basketball hit the middle of Richard Jefferson's legs, and in a daze, the basketball bounced from Richard Jefferson's crotch into my hand.
Everyone was stunned to see Chaunci Billups' pass. Even I quickly turned around, jumped up, and used a powerful force to cut and score two points for the Wizards again, but it did not stop people from praiseing Chaunci Billups' pass.
"Beautiful pass! It's really beautiful! Richard Jefferson was completely fooled by Chauncey Billups. Looking at Richard Jefferson's expression, he never thought that Chauncey Billups would pass the basketball in such a way..."
"Kaome Brown dunked into this basketball, but this basketball must have points to be counted on Chauncey Billups. You must know that Kenyon Martin, who is responsible for defending Kwame Brown and Jason Collins, who is responsible for assisting Kwame Brown, were completely confused by Chauncey Billups. They did not expect the basketball would be in Kwame Brown's hands. No one was staring at him. All he had to do was jump up and put the basketball into the basket..."
....
I jumped out of the basket and quickly ran to the backcourt. I caught up with Chaunci Billups who were quickly retreating on the way, stretched out my right hand and slapped him in the air to celebrate.
"Thank you! The pass is really beautiful!" I praised Chaunci Billups' pass just now.
"How about that Jason Kidd?" Chauncey Billups stuck out his tongue and added lips, paused for a moment. Suddenly, he asked at me with a serious expression.
Chauncey Billups's words were a bit sudden. I don't know what happened, which made Chauncey Billups have the idea of leaving Jason Kidd. You should know that Jason Kidd is already a superstar in the eyes of the world, and Chauncey Billups, who is simple in the play, is just a good point guard in the mouths of those experts. The two of them are not on the same level at all. Although I know this is not a real comparison of their strength.
"You are more stable, simpler than him, and more suitable for the Wizards. With you here, we will definitely win this game!" I did not hesitate, and I blurted out my comments on him.
Chauncey Billups' eyes wide open, and he was obviously surprised at my evaluation. Perhaps the answer he hoped to hear from me was just words like "You are no worse than him." He did not expect that I blurted out that the evaluation of him was so high.
"I want to try it! Maybe I will be an All-Star next year!" Chauncey Billups stopped for 2 seconds without saying a word. When he reached the defensive position, he suddenly turned his head and said to me. After that, he turned his head and turned his body. He bent down deeply, spread his arms, and faced Jason Kidd, who had passed half.
I held Kenyon Martin tightly and prevented him from turning around. Kenyon Martin, who had no way to turn around, was not threatened at all. Michael Jordan tightly entangled Carrickittels. Caron Butler stuck to Richard Jefferson. The Wizards raised the entire defensive intensity and used a suffocating defense to suppress the Nets' offense.
Time passed by seconds, with strong defense against the Flounder. Although Jason Kidd's face was still calm, the sweat on his face betrayed his heart now. He was already a little nervous. If he could not pass the basketball out, or if he shot himself, the Nets' offense would be very likely to be protected from a 24-second violation.
"There's no time!" Byron Scott shouted on the sidelines.
My heart also rose up with Byron Scott's shouting. This was the last time, but it was also the most critical moment. Only at this moment can our defense be considered successful. Of course, Jason Kidd will desperately look for gaps to pass, break through, or shoot.
Jason Kidd moved. He used his speed and disguised himself as he threw away Chaunce Billups' position by one quarter of his body, and then used his strong body to squeeze Chaunce Billups desperately and fought to the inside. He wanted to use breakthroughs to create an opportunity to attack.
Chauncey Billups used his shoulder to hit Jason Kidd. The two of them collided hard during the rapid movement. In my vision, the two seemed to have a pause at that moment. I could clearly sense the impact of the collision on the movements of the two people. I could see that Jason Kidd's rapid insertion slowed down later.
"There's no time!" Byron Scott yelled, his voice making every player on the field hear clearly.
The basketball is still stuck in Jason Kidd's hands. Maybe he can give him some more time to break the Wizards' defense, but that's just maybe. Now the time is almost gone. Jason Kidd has to pass the basketball out to the Nets who are the least attacking person on the court, Jason Collins, who is closest to the basket.
Jason Collins has no offensive talent and is a waste of people, but facing the unguarded basket, he is still confident that he will dunk the basketball into the basket.
Jason Collins held the ball in both hands, paused down, stretched his feet hard, pulled his body upwards, and shouted loudly, "Look at me!"
I was a bit far away because Jason Collins was not good at offensive ability and I hadn't paid attention to him, and I had no chance to stop him.
But it was not me in this game, but Brandon Haywood, who had never been a big hit but had always performed very stably, was Brandon Haywood who set a single-game block record for the Wizards.
Although Brandon Haywood has been paying attention to assisting others and has not cared about Jason Collins' defense, Jason Collins' slow pace gave Brandon Haywood enough reaction time. When Jason Collins jumped to the highest point, Brandon Haywood also jumped up.
"Boy, you're still ten thousand years early! Come down with me!" Brandon Haywood stretched out his right palm from behind Jason Collins and slapped the fiery red elf hard.
It was time for the basketball to fly by Brandon Haywood. The basketball hit the upper edge of the basket and flew out of the bottom line all at once.
The moment the basketball flew out of the baseline, the referee also blew the whistle of violations for 24 seconds.
"Kaome! If we win the championship this year, do you talk about next season, will Doug Collins give us two a double tower tactic?" Brandon Haywood stood in front of me with his hands on his hips and pressed his voice hard, widening his eyes and said to me.
I was a little confused! But I quickly figured out everything. Dakomilicic was coming. After he came, Michael Jordan would definitely focus on cultivating him. In this way, if Brandon Haywood was not traded, his playing time would be greatly reduced. If he wanted to have enough playing time in the next season and even occupy it, he would have to perform in this playoffs. Now, the Wizards are facing difficulties. If he can help the team win the game, then he will have enough chips to ask for more playing time and even position in the next season.
"Yes! Surely we win this game and win the Eastern Conference championship, Doug will definitely arrange a great double tower tactic for us!" I responded to Brandon Haywood, inspiring him with a magnetic voice. I hope he can contribute more strength to the team in this game.
The basketball was sent out, and Chaunce Billups was slowly moving the basketball. I opened my arms and kept Kenyan and Martin firmly behind me. I looked at the positions of Richard Jefferson and Jason Collins around me, and then reached out to Chaunce Billups for the ball.
The basketball passed again. But the moment I turned around, Jason Collins suddenly ran over and stood in front of me, forming a double-team with Kenyon and Martin.
Facing the double-team between Kenyon Martin and Jason Collins, if I want, although it is very difficult, I can still put the basketball into the basket, but I know that I am not facing two people, but three. Although I can't see what Richard Jefferson behind me is doing, I know that he must always be ready to give me a big hat behind me.
At this moment, I must not shoot, otherwise I will die.
I pulled my body horizontally, pulled my body apart about a half-sphere from Jason Collins, and my body swayed, attracting the attention of Jason Collins and Kenyon Martin, and also attracting the attention of Richard Jefferson who was hiding in the dark, and then passed the basketball to the left.
To be continued...
