I really play basketball

Chapter 177 Two-pronged Victory

After scoring 6 points in a row, Rodman was a little excited.

But his way of celebrating is a bit special, without beating his chest and roaring.

Nor is it waving his arms around the court to announce his return.

Instead, a diving sprint rushed to the sidelines and picked up a blonde beauty.

At first, Lin Xing didn't pay much attention to it.

But take a closer look: Rodman picked up, not Madonna, who else could it be?

"You are great, Dennis, you are so handsome on the basketball court!"

"Aren't I handsome off the basketball court?"

"Handsome, handsome, but you are the most handsome on the basketball court!"

"..."

From afar, Lin Xing got goosebumps when he heard the extremely nasty conversation between these two people.

Now he is only glad that he did not accept Madonna at the beginning.

Otherwise, it would be him who is kissing Madonna on the sidelines and saying such nasty words.

It's disgusting to think about it...

……

Rodman celebrates, wasting a little time.

The game restarts, the Magic's turn.

Penny ate a mistake, and this wave gave up the idea of ​​​​continuing to feed the sharks.

Facing Lin Xing head-on, he boldly singled out one.

In the end, there was no suspense, and he was stopped by the strong Lin Xing again.

As a last resort, Penny could only score one side of the ball, and Dennis Scott took over the pot, jumping up and hitting the defense with a three-pointer.

Swish-!
Lin Xing was still a little surprised when the clear sound of wiping the net was heard.

"Can I get in here too?"

Mullin's big hand was almost on Scott's face, but the goal was scored.

Lin Xing shook his head and said with emotion: He deserves to be a top shooter who can average 2.4 three-pointers per game.

The Magic's team configuration can be said to be the most reasonable in this era.

A big center on the inside, a point guard who can make sudden passes, and the fourth position is also a blue-collar who specializes in dirty work.

The two flankers are both top shooters who have made more than 2.4% of their three-pointers and averaged [-] three-pointers per game.

With this configuration, Lin Xing can say one thing——

If the Magic drafted him that year, the O'Brien Cup would have been won over his head.

It's a pity that I can't change it...

Dennis Scott saved Penny's life with a three-pointer, the offensive and defensive transition, the Warriors' round.

Rodman was eager to stage a big show of scoring 8 points in a row, but Lin Xing didn't pass the ball.

This time he didn't take a step past Nick Anderson, so Cobra Grant's help defense also hesitated.

After all, his opponent Rodman has scored 6 points in a row.

As a result, Cobra hesitated so much, and Lin Xing did it directly against Anderson in the middle distance.

Swish-!
There was a crisp net scraping sound, and at the same time the Oakland Stadium erupted.

Amid the cheers, Lin Xing shook his head at Penny.

There's nothing more taunting than shaking your head at your opponent after scoring a goal.

Penny squeezed his fist, and the first time Lin Xing shook his head at him, what he thought of was:

It's not me who guards you, why are you shaking your head at me?
But then, he realized, what Lin Xing meant was, I can get in at will, can you do it?

Penny clenched his fists tightly. Of course he knew that the best way to respond was to turn around and hit him loudly.

Turning around, Penny was indeed working hard.

But Lin Xing, who is strong and strong, with long arms covering the sky and the sun, once again stuck Penny in his waist.

"Waist, Penny made an emergency stop, turned around and stopped the ball..."

Matt Goodica paused, not because he couldn't answer, but because Penny on the field also paused.

Penny is hesitating. On the one hand, he also wants to pass the ball.

But on the other hand, he wants to use a mid-range shot to prove himself.

After hesitating to the end, he turned over and raised his hand to make a shot.

Under the basket, the Sharks are ready to grab the rebound.

As a teammate, the Sharks are too aware of the weight of Penny's mid-range shot.

The result can be...

Front, snap!
Lin Xing accurately judged Penny's last move, and he was a big hat for Penny.

"boom!"

The Oakland Coliseum erupted again, cheers resounding from heaven to earth.

Seeing the basketball go out of bounds on the court, Lin Xing shrugged, his disdainful expression made Penny's fists clenched even tighter.

The Magic still had the ball because a cap sent the ball out of the sideline.

They kick off the sideline, still looking for pennies.

But in the face of Lin Xing's defense that didn't give him a chance at all, Penny was also very powerless.

He dumped Dennis Scott again. This time, Scott took the pot for a three-pointer and missed it with a bang.

Immediately, there was a battle for rebounds at the basket.

"Rebound, rebound!"

"mine!"

"This board belongs to me, get out of here!"

"..."

Under the basket, there was a burst of vulgar shouting, the shark got stuck, Rodman took off, and even Lin Xing rushed in.

Lin Xing is well aware of how strong Rodman's rebounding ability is. Once Rodman comes, it will be difficult for him to stabilize his rebounding in double figures.

As far as this wave of rebounds is concerned, it can be said that it is a fight between gods.

The shark card position is a pure gift, but the cobra jumped with Rodman, which seemed to interfere with Rodman.

Lin Xing saw the opportunity, but in the end, a pair of thick black hands with some gaudy hands took the first step and caught the rebound.

Lin Xing didn't even need to look at his face to know who the owner of these hands was.

"As expected of the prototype of Sakuragi Flower Road..."

On the court, Rodman, who took off the rebound, roared, and then threw the basketball to Lin Xing.

"Sta, go!"

Lin Xing rolled his eyes instantly after receiving the ball.

rush?Do you still need to say this?

Lin Xing has already formed a habit of rushing as soon as he gets the basketball.

The moment Lin Xing received the basketball, he rushed to the frontcourt.

But the Magic had already prepared for it. The three people on the periphery quickly retreated, and Cobra retreated without hesitation.

With four defenses and four defenses, the Magic stopped the Warriors' counterattack momentum.

Although the counterattack was stopped, Lin Xing in the frontcourt rushed in without stopping.

Nick Anderson, who was retreating, wanted to stop Lin Xing, but Lin Xing ran over him in one step and rushed in.

The Cobra immediately outflanked and gave a supplementary defense, but this time, the Sharks were not in the penalty area.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xing would still be afraid of a cobra?

He didn't even think about it, and continued to run over the cobra and kill it to the basket.

Pushing the cobra away with an elbow, he jumped up, and when he raised his arms, there was a bang!
"For the dunk in the counterattack, Stalian scored 4 points and entered the state."

Mav Albert explained casually, but Matt Gudica on the side didn't recognize it.

"What does it mean to be in the state? Si Dake has always been in the state. Except for these 4 points, he has already recorded 3 assists in this game."

The 3 assists were all fed by Rodman. Lin Xing's assists in this game can be regarded as developing beyond the timeline.

Coupled with 1 steal and 1 block, not long after the opening, all statistics have been gained.

It's just rebounds, so far it's still 0, which is dismal.

It's not that Lin Xing didn't work hard. After turning around and defending, the Magic missed the perimeter again.

Seeing the bang and another iron, Lin Xing immediately rushed in to grab the board.

In the end, Rodman shouted, "Mine!"

Just like that, the rebound fell into Rodman's hands.

Lin Xing once again missed the most critical rebound for him right now.

Fortunately, Rodman's idea of ​​giving the ball to the C position is in place.

It was the first time to grab a rebound, and he threw the basketball to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing fought back again and rushed to the front court. When the sharks couldn't keep up, he once again penetrated the Magic's defense alone.

"Scored 6 points in a row, STA is already unstoppable!"

With a score of 12 to 5, the Magic fell behind by as many as 7 points at the start.

On the sidelines, Brian Hill spread his hands, what can he do?

He didn't want to call a timeout, but on the court, the Sharks also spread their hands and slapped Penny's face: "Fk, can you pass the ball in?"

As a result, Penny didn't love the shark at all, and replied directly: "If you want to get the ball, then stand still first!"

The implication of these words is that Lin Xing's steal at the beginning, his mistake, was the fault of the Sharks for not staying in position.

As soon as these words came out, the shark blushed and was about to step forward to argue.

At this time, Brian Hill had no choice but to call a timeout.

The head coach of the Magic, the job is actually kind of muddy.

This season, the conflict between the Sharks and Penny has deepened day by day. On the one hand, there is a dispute over the ball.

The Sharks feel that he is the league's leading super giant and deserves unlimited fire rights.

Penny also believes that he is Danzi's hand-picked successor and should play like Danzi.

The two had a conflict because of this...

But the possession of the ball is only one aspect. As far as the issue of possession of the ball is concerned, it is fine for the Sharks to give up a few pennies.

Just like in the previous life, Penny and the Sharks have never had any conflicts. He knew that the Sharks' rookie contract expired and they were about to renew their contract with the Magic.

Facing the media, Pence said "I don't know if Shaq deserves the maximum salary", which disappointed the Sharks, which triggered a conflict between the two.

The main reason is that on the other hand, in this life, there is a contrast with sharks.

Penny compared to Lin Xing, that's too far away.

The Sharks felt that if Penny was replaced by Lin Xing, let alone shrinking his possession of the ball, he would be happy even if he was asked to do the dirty work.

But now it's pennies, and the Sharks aren't happy.

Bottom line: pennies worth it?
After a timeout, the sideline, Sharks and Penny feud was quelled by a muddy Brian Hill.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Penny to pass the ball in.

Although Penny didn't want to, he had to follow suit.

Who made it impossible for the Magic's outside line to tear through the Warriors' defense now?
If the perimeter is not good, then the ball can only be passed inward.

Shark is full of confidence. He thinks, what can he do with just one Longley and at most one Rodman?

emmm, I can only say that sharks remember to eat but not to fight.

Soon, after a timeout, the game resumed.

In the Magic's round, the Sharks moved at halftime, and the Sharks sat on Longley and received the ball as they wished.

Contrary to what he imagined, the Warriors did not go directly to the defense, and Rodman was still facing the Cobra with his old god.

This made Shark scratch his head a bit: This warrior, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
The shark thought for a long time, but couldn't think of the reason.

But the single defense is in front of him, he decided to seize the opportunity.

"At the basket, Shaq turned around and forced it up, oh no, he was directly pulled down by Luke Longley!"

With a beep, the referee blew the whistle in time.

Langley didn't feel that he didn't foul, on the contrary, he just went for the foul.

He directly raised his right hand and sent the Sharks to the free throw line.

At this time, no matter how slow the reaction was, the shark knew that the Warriors had resorted to the classic shark-slaying tactic again.

Last year, the Warriors were the first to use this shark-slashing tactic, which attracted various criticisms.

But it also attracted many teams to imitate, which made the Sharks suffer a lot.

This year, not many teams use this tactic to deal with the Sharks.

The main reason is that this shark-slashing tactic is too useless for a center forward, and teams with no foundation really dare not use it.

As for the Warriors, Longley started at the center position, and the old chief and Chris Gatlin were sitting off the court. The depth of the lineup is too deep.

On the court, the Sharks stood on the free throw line a little helplessly.

He felt that although the Warriors threw out the shark-killing tactic, the game would not end there.

What if, in this game, he made a free throw?

The second reason why many teams are reluctant to use shark-slashing tactics against the Sharks this year is that the Sharks' free throws are not stable, and when they are accurate, they are also abnormally accurate.

If the shark is abnormally accurate, the shark-slashing tactic will have the opposite effect, and the gain outweighs the loss!
But this game...

"Shaq, first free throw at the free throw line, he took a deep breath..."

Before the free throw, Shark did all the moves, praying, inhaling and exhaling, letting himself fully relax.

As a result, there was a bang!
Lin Xing could only say one thing: One operation was as fierce as a tiger, and he still missed a free throw at first glance.

The first free throw was missed, and Langley's wave of fouls was already worth it.

Immediately after the second free throw, the shark's breathing became short.

It's not that he changed the way, but he missed the first free throw, which made the Sharks lose confidence.

So, bang again!
"I didn't make the second free throw, Shaq missed both free throws, and the Warriors' shark-killing tactic worked!"

At the basket, Rodman gave up a rebound, and Lin Xing finally grabbed his first rebound of the game.

Of course, this rebound is not a handicap, it is mainly a free throw rebound, and both insiders have to get stuck.

Lin Xing was the only one who didn't use a slot, so he took the lead.

With both hands together, he grabbed the rebound, Lin Xing turned around and launched a wave of counterattacks.

Still an unstoppable counterattack, Brian Hill began to spread his hands again on the sidelines.

He already felt that this game has gone far.

In the next game, the Warriors went step by step.

On the offensive end, there are all kinds of counterattacks, or positional warfare, and all kinds of sudden attacks revolve around Lin Xing.

Lin Xing, or everyone thought that Rodman's joining weakened the Warriors' offensive firepower.

As a result, in this game, Lin Xing's pass and Rodman's pie took everyone by surprise.

The 6 points in a row at the beginning of the game were just a small test, perhaps inspired by the beauties on the sidelines. Since then, Rodman has been very active on the offensive end.

Therefore, he also received a lot of passes from Lin Xing.

All kinds of flying dunks at the basket, in the first half alone, he scored 14 points, second only to Lin Xing in the Warriors.

"It's kind of like Chris..."

On the sidelines, Nelson Sr. felt that Rodman played a bit like Chris Gatlin.

Like it is indeed similar, but still different.

Gatlin has a mid-range shot. In this game, Rodman is still only eating cakes under the basket.

What CIC long-range investment seems to have yet to be developed.

However, in this game, the Warriors can win, relying on a two-pronged approach on the defensive end.

On the one hand, Lin Xing locked up Penny, and on the other hand, the Sharks were also annoyed by the shark-slashing tactics.

In the end, the Warriors won easily...
