Chapter 32 Who Tell You I Can't Shoot Three Points? (4000 words)
Injuries certainly didn't destroy George.

He has risen from the ashes.

But the impact of injuries cannot be completely erased.

Apart from changes in offensive play.

George's defensive steps are no longer as fast as before.

Consciously, George has predicted the direction of Zheng Long's breakthrough.

But his legs couldn't keep up with his own reaction!

After returning from injury last season, George clearly felt the difference.

But at this moment, this feeling is especially obvious.

In front of the competition of top stars, talent is what is at stake.

A small difference, a thousand miles lost.

The first step in the face of Zheng Long's horror.

My former self may have a chance.

But the present self.
With a sullen face, George turned this pressure and unwillingness into motivation.

I want to fight back!
I must return one!
After receiving the serve in the back court, he accelerated all the way, like a cheetah, full of murderous looks!
Ingram gets run over by George.

George reached the three-point line!

Nance Jr. has come out of the penalty area!
In the past, in this position, George would definitely choose to layup or pass.

After returning from a serious injury, George's dunk choices have changed a lot.

There is no reduction in frequency.

But choose this one.

If the problem can be solved by a layup, absolutely no dunk.

This is to protect your own health.

It is also a subconscious fear.

Fear of getting hurt.

But this time, facing Nance Jr.

George directly chose to take off!
I used to buckle like this!

Facing George who took off, the figure that blocked the sky.

Little Nance subconsciously took half a step back.

With this retreat, there is no possibility of a successful defense.

George slammed the basketball into the hoop.

Button up Nance!
Bang! ! !
A loud bang resounded through the Conseco Arena!

It seemed that George was growling unwillingly.

Roar and contempt for fate!
George's ball completely ignited the quiet home court just now.

The fans are crazy about it!
With this ball, they seemed to see General Qiao who was flying into the sky and escaping from the ground again!
General, even if he is dead, he is still standing!
George stood where he was, clenched his fists and roared to the sky!

this moment!
He really walked out of the haze of injuries!

fuck you!

If I want to buckle it, I can buckle it!

Live broadcast barrage.

[General Qiao is back! ! ! 】

[The top ten dunks of the season are here, it's too scary! 】

[Tears in my eyes, the real George! 】

on the field.

All the players were amazed at George's dunk.

This group of young Lakers players only saw highlights of George's dunks on TV.

This is the first time on the scene.

See for yourself how unreasonable George is!

Zheng Long's expression was thoughtful, and he said to Nance, "Serve me directly later."

Little Nance froze for a moment, and exchanged glances with the other teammates.

what do you mean.

Could it be that Zheng Long is not convinced and wants to deduct one?
It's not impossible, it's very possible!
And Zheng Long also dunked Capela against the Rockets!
Thinking about it this way, the Lakers players look forward to it!

Nance Jr. quickly serves to Zheng Long!
as predicted!

After receiving the serve, Zheng Long also accelerated and started sprinting in one dragon!
All this happened too fast.

When the Pacers players returning to defense found out, Zheng Long had already passed by like the wind!
An extreme disguise, directly passing George!

Go straight to the restricted area!

At this time, Pacers center Turner was still outside the three-point line, and it was too late to guard the basket!
At this time, there was no one in the Pacers restricted area!
Seeing this scene, the Pacers fans who were still immersed in the joy of George's dunk suddenly became nervous.

"This kid is so fast!"

"This kid is probably stimulated, and wants to deduct one."

"What's the use, George is a button, is there any comparison?"

then.

Zheng Long was under everyone's gaze.

The position of the free throw line suddenly jumped!
Everyone's eyes widened!
Is this kid crazy?
Jump from the free throw line!
Zheng Long did dunk.

But it was a dunk from the free throw line!
Zheng Long is like walking in the air!
The posture is extremely stretched!

After turning the ball in the air with one arm.

Bang! ! !
It was also a loud bang!
Successfully sent the basketball into the hoop!
Moreover, after the successful dunk, when Zheng Long fell, his head almost touched the lower edge of the basket!

what does this mean?
It means that the free throw line dunk is not even Zheng Long's limit distance!
He can go further! ! !
Zheng Long's dunk was played back on the big screen, and the home fans watched it again in disbelief.

There is a feeling that I am watching a slam dunk contest!

If.

George's dunk just now shocked the fans.

Then Zheng Long's buckle made the fans doubt life!
Fake!

Is this really something humans can do? !
Actual free throw line dunk!
Of course, the fans will not ignore Zheng Long's one-stop breakthrough in the backcourt!
Before the dunk, he passed all the Pacers players including George.

Live broadcast barrage.

[Zheng Long is angry, you are the only one who can dunk! ! ! 】

[Awesome! ! !Dunk response from the free throw line! 】

【Mom, it seems that someone is flying in the sky! 】

[On dunking, I really don't think Zheng Long is afraid of anyone! 】

[If you are like me, you can buckle up if you want, then Thai pants are really hot! 】

Zheng Long, who dunked successfully, did not roar like George.

The cloud was calm and the wind was light, as if he had done a very normal thing, he ran back to the Lakers' half court silently.

But that's it.

The eyes of the fans could not be removed from this man.

Thousands of eyes on the entire court watched Zheng Long lower his head and run between the Pacers players.

In the entire arena, it was very quiet.

Did this kid realize it?

What an exaggerated dunk I just completed!
Celebrate a little bit!
Give dunks from the free throw line a little more respect!

Russell, "I still have to learn from Brother Long for pretense, the most deadly pretense is invisible!"

Randall, "Slam dunk from the free throw line, try to learn one."

Russell, "."

If you say that, we won't be able to play.

Of course, on the court, the most uncomfortable thing is George.

The buckle and roar I just made showed my emotions and aura.

Zheng Long's buckle was like a backhand slap to himself!

The game continues.

George was a little unconvinced and wanted to return another dunk.

Zheng Long took the initiative to switch defenses with Russell, and directly confronted George on offense and defense.

When Zheng Long came to defend himself, George realized that Zheng Long's defense was also unreasonable compared to offense.

Not to mention breaking through and dunking, even trying to make a shot has become a difficulty!
Death Coil Defense!

If Ingram is a defensive unit.

Then Zheng Long's defense is five Rams!

Directly defend George to 5 for 0!

Also gave George a big hat!
The Pacers, who lost George's offensive firepower, played extremely hard in the third quarter.

Fortunately, Ellis stepped forward!
Russell, who is a perpetual colander, can't guard against Harden, Paul, or Ellis.

Although Ellis is not as good as he was at his peak, speed and breakthrough are his strengths.

Ellis scored 14 points in a single quarter, slightly stabilizing the situation for the Pacers.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers 80:70 the Pacers, leading by 10 points and entering the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, when the two sides started to play again, with 9 minutes left in the game, the Lakers 91:82 Pacers, still leading by 9 points.

And as Zheng Long once again faced the three of them to complete the layup two plus one.

The lead is back to double digits again!

Studio.

Xu Whale is frantically exporting Pacers coach Nat McMillan.

"Zheng Long has been like this for the first three quarters, and he still doesn't choose to double-team! Don't lose face and don't win!"

"No, the Pacers will surely die!"

[What if you choose to double-team? 】

"Pack? If you pack it, at least you can die with dignity!"

【Ha ha ha ha】

【66666666】

On the court, although the Pacers did not choose to double-team, George finally stood up again.

If you can't break through, then vote!
George gave up the frontal confrontation with Zheng Long, and directly pulled the battle line beyond the three-point line.

what?
The three-point line is also guarded to death?

George stepped back directly to the three-point line and shot!
George, who just entered the league, really focused on breakthroughs. In his rookie season, he averaged only 1.6 shots per game and a 29.7% shooting rate.

But every season after that, his number of shots has increased, and his shooting percentage has gradually stabilized above 35%.

Although it can't be compared with the top three-point shooters in the league.

But combined with an average of about 7 shots per game, he can definitely be called one of the outstanding three-point shooters.

And George's three-point range is very long.

If you don't make a shot, it's enough, and the shot is often super far!

Facing Zheng Long, he scored two ultra-long three-pointers in a row!

Once again, the point difference between the two teams was brought back to 6 points!
The Lakers called a timeout with 4 minutes left in the game and 6 points.

The home court is also boiling again!Hope is still great!
Lakers bench.

Ingram looked up and saw George scoring two three-pointers in a row on the big screen.

Can't help but ask Zheng Long, "Brother Long, why don't you shoot three-pointers?"

Ingram's question successfully attracted the ears of all Lakers players.

Because Zheng Long doesn't shoot three-pointers.

The players in the team have long been discussing privately.

After the last game.

Russell also listed all the data of Zheng Long with great interest.

The first game was 51 points and zero three-point shots.

49 points in Game [-] with zero three-point attempts.

In the usual training games, zero three-point shots.

and.

The Lakers players also found out Zheng Long's college game data because of this incident.

It was discovered that Zheng Long University also made zero three-point shots!
The players hadn't noticed this before, but now that they have, they all find it incredible.

this era.

Is there anyone who doesn't shoot threes? !

Not Zheng Long, right?
The NBA is the three-point line caused by 1979-1980. At the beginning, no one practiced and no one shot.

Because the original concept of basketball was only one.

That is to bring the basketball to the place closest to the hoop and put it in.

So the layup is strictly the most effective means of offense.

Later, after a period of development in the NBA, three-pointers averaged 1980 times per game from the 81-0.8 season. (team)

1991 attempts per game through the 1992-10.6 season.

It took ten years for NBA teams to average 10-pointers per game before breaking through the [-]-average mark.

Then, in the early 2000s, the Suns set off a three-point revolution in the NBA.

Other teams shoot three-pointers, but the Suns rely on three-pointers!

When others averaged less than 15 three-pointers per game, the Suns averaged an astonishing 22.2 three-pointers per game!
The Suns, led by Nash, have turned three-pointers into one of the main scoring methods through the ultimate application of the "seven-second offense" tactic. The efficient three-pointers have won game after game.

The success of the Suns has also made all NBA teams pay attention to the tactical status of three-pointers.

With the emergence of Stephen Curry, the three-point king, and the success of the Warriors, the league's three-point fever has been heated to the extreme.

You are exhausted, a desperate two plus one is 3 points, and a jumper is also 3 points.

Of course, the premise is that you can score 3 points.

Being able to shoot 3 points means that you can open up a wider offensive space.

Now American elementary school students are starting to practice 3 points.

And now every NBA team's consideration of players, three-point ability, has become a must.

Centers who can shoot three-pointers are bonus points, and guards who can't shoot three-pointers will lose points.

"Why don't I shoot threes? Do you really want to know the answer?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Long's mouth.

Ingram Chick nodded like a peck at rice.

Russell and the others pricked up their ears.

Zheng Long, "Why don't you guess?"

Ingram thought for a while and said, "I don't think you usually practice three-pointers, Brother Long. Are you good at three-pointers?"

"Who said that?"

"Because Brother Long, you never shoot three-pointers. We talked about it last time. That's what Russell guessed."

Russell, I'm stupid!Don't cheat on me!
Zheng Long suppressed his smile, turned his head, and looked at Russell.

Russell showed a flattering smile, "Brother Long, don't listen to Ingram's nonsense, I'm just guessing."

Zheng Long didn't speak.

The timeout is also over.

The Lakers players still haven't figured out why Zheng Long doesn't shoot three-pointers.

The game continues.

Zheng Long held the ball at the top of the arc and faced George.

George, who scored two three-pointers in a row, felt that the resentment in his heart had completely dissipated.

The world is still undecided, and there is still a chance in this game!

Just win the game!

More reliable than anything else!

Looking at Zheng Long holding the ball, George said, "How about it, can you return a three-pointer?"

It's not without reason that George said this.

The team also studied Zheng Long's offense before the game. Zheng Long's breakthrough and mid-range are indeed very powerful.

But the three-pointer seems to be Zheng Long's weakness.

There has never been a three-point shot record!
I dunk.

You can return one.

I'm super far three.

What are you doing!
This is George's confidence.

But George didn't expect Zheng Long to respond to him, "Okay, then you stand here and don't move."

George: "?"

A chill rose from behind.

I saw Zheng Long, dribbled the ball, took a big step and retreated, suddenly took off, and shot a three-pointer directly!

this distance!

It was the distance from George's three-pointer!
The basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air!

When the basketball is in the air.

The Lakers players stared with their mouths open.

Swish!
Not only entered, but also hollowed into the net!
Zheng Long looked at George, "Who told you I can't shoot three-pointers?"

George: "."

Fake!

You haven't told others that you will shoot three-pointers or step back three-pointers!

If you can shoot three-pointers, how can you shoot two-pointers every day?

are you crazy!
