NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 350 The extreme change of hands in the air, the smoking Jordan with the death scythe! !
"Oh yeah!"

Amidst the cheers of the audience, a live commentator was shouting excitedly:

"Kobe Bryant responded to Penny in a more explosive way, pointing at Penny's nose and saying, look, this is my response."

"Anferni, you can't guard against me."

On the court, Kobe stared domineeringly at Penny after he succeeded, like a tiger staring at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Jordan, who was returning to defense, frowned, snorted coldly, asked for the ball, and started attacking from the left wing.

Payton was still behind and couldn't switch defenses. Kobe was defending in front of Jordan, but Jordan shook his center of gravity with a single-handed ball, and then changed direction downwards, dribbling directly into the paint.

Seeing the low position on the left wing, Lin Hong could only adjust his position upwards for supplementary defense.

But Jordan veered down again, sprinted into the paint along the baseline, and kicked off to the rim.

The postman rushed out from behind and quickly returned to the basket. At this time, Jordan, who was flying in the air, was about to dunk with one hand. Seeing this, he immediately collected the ball in his arms and slid past the former.

Calmly gliding to the right side of the basket, and then when the body fell, he stretched his right hand upwards, without raising his head at all, relying on his extremely keen sense and muscle memory, he backhanded the ball to the basket.

"Shh!"

Under the eyes of everyone, the basketball fell into the basket accurately.

After a pause of a second, Madison Square Garden fans woke up like a dream and cheered wildly.

Holy crap, what did they see! !

Jordan blasted three lines of defense in a row, and ended the offense with a backhand pick with an elegant drawbar. This is too good!

No one can refuse this goal performance!
Stand up and cheer!

This is the charm of basketball! !
"I'm confused, am I not worth your defense?"

After succeeding, Jordan chewed gum while spraying trash talk.

Using the method of group ridicule, began to attack the psychology of the stars in the West.

A star with average mental attributes is indeed easy to be hit mentally. After all, the three lines of defense from the outside to the inside were blown up by Jordan alone.

Lin Hong didn't even open his mouth to reply. The really powerful trash talk came after he succeeded.

West attack.

Payton crossed the center line and gave the ball to Bryant outside the three-point line on the left wing, and then ran to the right wing.

This time, Lin Hong decided to play one by himself, came to the front court, and immediately went straight to the basket, forcing the opponent to shrink the defensive formation.

Sure enough, as soon as he went to the basket, in addition to the big sharks following closely behind, Rain Man and Jordan also consciously moved down a step and made a defensive movement.

Only Penny didn't shrink. After all, the young player holding the ball has already shown his edge. Although he is still a blacksmith, no one dares to bet whether he will make a cold shot.

"Whoosh!"

The fake shot was a true pass, and the basketball flew straight to the penalty area.

Jordan and Rainman also immediately shrank to the basket.

"Snapped!"

Lin Hong caught O'Neill, just received the ball with his right hand, and immediately threw it to the right wing, and the ball flew to the postman who was ambushing in the right corner.

After the postman caught the ball and took a step forward, before the rain man returned to the defense, he did not hesitate to shoot a jumper.

The postman has enough capital to overwhelm the sea in the paint, but in addition to these, he is actually a master of the middle distance.

"Shh!"

As the water splashed, Madison Square Garden burst into applause.

In the TNT live broadcast, Kenny Smith laughed and said: "A long two-pointer, Lin Hong's passing ability and ability to attract defenses are all revealed.

As long as the East continues to double-team the basket, there will be someone open on the outside of the West. Whether they can make it depends on whether the shots are accurate enough. "

In dead time, the East replaced Pippen and Mutombo as substitutes.

This is also after Jordan and Pippen parted ways during the offseason, they finally fought side by side again on the All-Star stage.

Facing his former partner, Jordan's desire to attack was very strong. He singled Kobe again, wanting to prove that even without Pippen, he could lead the Bulls to compete for the championship.

Kobe took a step at the three-point line. Jordan really didn't choose the three-pointer that he was relatively bad at. Instead, he broke through with a chic right hand and took the initiative to lean on Kobe.

Kobe held back with all his strength, and Jordan turned his back, looking for space to fight the squeeze.

However, at the moment when Kobe was fighting with all his strength, Jordan suddenly turned left and threw the ball to the bottom line!
This step is too elegant, combined with his big hands and wingspan, even Payton can't make a steal!

Then you can only watch the textbook up close!
Because after this step was transferred, Kobe knew he couldn't defend.

as predicted.

Jordan took off at full strength, leaned back picturesquely, and shot a jumper at the top.

With this height and arm span, it is impossible to block.

Kobe did not sit still, and decisively used the blindfold method.

Facts have proved that blindfolding is still useful, and the god of basketball sometimes misses.

"Bang dang!!"

The basketball hits the iron and pops up.

Lin Hong protected the backcourt rebound and handed it to Kobe to advance.

"Will the East double-team this time?"

Seeing Lin Hong running towards the basket again, Kenny Smith immediately asked.

As soon as Kobe held the ball across the center line, he saw the postman on the right wing quickly withdrawing outwards, so he took advantage of the opportunity to plug the ball there.

"careful!"

Lin Hong suddenly shouted loudly.

"Snapped!"

Still too late.

Jordan started it in one step, quickly inserted it, stretched out his big hand, and accurately cut off the flying basketball, and then rushed forward, killing the center line in three steps.

"Bryant's intention to pass the ball this time is too obvious! He should be more cautious, after all, he is facing Michael Jordan."

In the TNT commentary seat, Albert shook his head again and again.

Kobe is still too immature. Facing a top perimeter defender like Jordan, he doesn't need to make any moves. Just standing in front of him can make his nerves tense, as if he is facing an enemy.

"boom!"

When Jordan reached the free throw line, he took off directly, as if out of gravity, and after gliding for several meters like a falcon, he smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The commentator Kenny Smith reminded with a smile: "In fact, as long as the West can bring the ball to the frontcourt and Lin Hong can catch the ball under the basket smoothly, he can blow up the East, even double-teaming can't stop him.

But if you want to hand the ball to Lin Hong, you have to get past the strong perimeter defense in the east. This is a problem that must be faced. "

Albert laughed and said: "Actually, it is very difficult for the perimeter in the West to break through the perimeter defense of Michael Jordan + Scottie Pippen. This is indeed a difficult problem."

"Forest!!"

On the sidelines, Western Conference head coach Silver Fox Harris yelled, and when Lin Hong looked at him, he yelled, "You propose to respond."

Lin Hong nodded. This is a tactic arranged by the coaching staff. He will do the pick-and-roll in the high position to attract the defense and double-team.

Just like Utah Shuangsha's pick-and-roll tactics, it is simple and practical, even if he uses the postman's mid-range shooting ability, he can also play.

Payton advanced to the center line, saw Lin Hong standing at the top of the arc, and immediately passed the ball.

Lin Hong received the ball, and Rain Man tentatively stepped forward to grab it.

But it was useless. He was only 208 cm tall and had a wingspan of 221 cm. Both height and wingspan were about ten centimeters behind Lin Hong.

With Lin Hong's strength and ability to control the ball, he couldn't grab it at all.

So after only one try, the Rainman took the initiative to kill the idea of ​​grabbing the ball and retreated directly to the basket to prevent the West from playing an air cut tactic.

It has to be said that the Rainman's retreat was timely, just cutting off the postman's line of receiving the ball from the right wing along the bottom line.

But at this moment, Lin Hong, who had no one around him, dribbled the ball and rushed down.

"Damn!"

Seeing a giant beast striding forward, its speed was comparable to that of a top defender, coupled with the impact force formed by the huge tonnage, it directly frightened Yu Ren, and quickly dodged to the side.

"boom!"

Lin Hong dribbled the ball across the free throw line, took a big step, and then took a step-up, soaring into the air, like a superstar heavy tank with wings.

The arms that stretched backwards were like swinging a round hammer, and when he reached the peak, he smashed down instantly.

"Bang!"

With the sound of violent basket explosions, the entire Madison Square Garden Arena was completely detonated. Countless fans jumped up, arms raised, and cheered wantonly.

"Oh ho ho ho ho, that's too cruel!"

"If the hairband is thrown away, not a single blade of grass will grow. Under Lin Hong's attack, any defenders will have to back away..."

"That's it! That's it! Giants of the Celestial Dynasty, turn over the east! Turn them over! They're nothing special, nothing special..."

In the commentary seat, Albert and Kenny Smith roared excitedly.

The basket creaked, and Lin Hong swung on the basket a few times, and then let go and fell back to the ground after balancing.

At this time, his teammates rushed to him and shouted something to him, but he couldn't hear it, the sound was too loud, and he could only see the flashing shots of the media behind the baseline.

"Back to defense! Today we must kill the East!"

Lin Hong shouted, pointed to the backcourt, and began to lead his teammates back to defense.

"Defend! Defend..."

The fans at the scene shouted one after another, and the momentum was completely heated up.

"We had to score this goal."

Jordan personally held the ball forward, and seeing the momentum in the West was too strong, he shouted loudly.

The glove Payton was in front, not daring to be careless.

"Gary, you can't stop me!"

Jordan stuck out his tongue and hooked his hand towards Peyton.

Suddenly, Jordan started, took a step laterally, and then spread his pace and rushed to the 45-degree flank.

"This trick again, I won't give you a chance!"

Peyton snorted, dragged his pace and followed closely, while opening his hands to defend.

Seeing that Payton was still following the defense, Jordan made a sudden stop and took off. While making the shooting posture, his whole body glides from the flank to the baseline.

"Drift and lean back!?!?"

Albert had just recovered from the last shock, and fell into shock again:
"Fack, this can be done!"

"And Michael's gliding distance in the air is too great!"

"Flying from 45 degrees to 30 degrees and still flying!"

That's right, Jordan used another of his stunts, the drifting fadeaway jumper.

As the name suggests, it is to throw the body in the air, and use the powerful waist and abdomen strength and air suspension energy to let the body slide for a certain distance in the air to avoid blocking shots.

With Jordan's bold move, even Payton's eyes widened in amazement, and he could only watch Jordan complete the shot.

With a textbook-like shooting hand shape, with a flick of the wrist, the basketball flew out of Jordan's hands, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

"Shh!"

Responding to the net, simply neat.

"I bought it!"

Although Albert's exclamation is the same, but if he wants to say these four words, it must be an extremely difficult goal move!
For this difficult goal, Payton was completely convinced, and couldn't help but stepped forward and squeezed Jordan's buttocks.

"The two sides are tied again. Michael Jordan is currently 4 of 3 from the field. Today, he feels very good. He took most of the shots and points in the Eastern Conference."

Kenny Smith laughed.

"Lin Hong's outstanding performance inspired Michael's damn competitive spirit and desire to win." Albert laughed.

"Haha..." The two looked at each other and laughed.

Lin Hong stopped at the high position again, one step inside the three-point line at the top of the arc, above the free throw line.

Jordan noticed that when he did not pass the center line, he stepped up his pressure on Payton and prevented him from passing the ball to Lin Hong.

However, the postman responded from the outside of the right wing. After receiving the ball, he immediately passed it to Lin Hong, and then he immediately cut inside.

This time, Rainman didn't dare to let go of the high-ranking Lin Hong. Although Lin Hong didn't have the ability to shoot long distances, who could stop him once he charged up?

At this time, the Postman cut inside the paint and stretched out his hands to the high post.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Hong pushed the ball with one hand as if he was using God's perspective, and the basketball was precisely guided to fly to the postman. The latter caught the ball and made a step-up layup, scoring two points steadily.

At 12:10, the West leads and the East attacks.

Bird Bird, who was in charge of the All-Star for the first time, couldn't sit still anymore, and made a time-out gesture to the court. After serving the ball on the court, Pippen, who received the ball, called a time-out.

On the Eastern bench, Bird is rearranging his defensive tactics.

In terms of inside, he is going to replace the African mountain Dikembe Mutombo.

Mutombo's inside defense is single, and the Rainman assists in defense at any time, so as to avoid the opportunity for the western outside line to get an open shot.

The perimeter defense is actually the foundation of the Eastern Conference. Through a strong perimeter defense, the opponent is forced to make mistakes, and then a fierce defensive counterattack is used to defeat the opponent's psychological defense in one fell swoop.

"Michael, Bryant just..."

As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Jordan: "No, Larry, I'm going to guard Gary."

Bird was taken aback, then nodded, and looked at Pippen: "Okay, then Scottie, you go to defend Bryant."

"Ok." Pippen nodded.

Nodding his head, Bird glanced at the tactical board and continued to say to Qiaopi: "If they still play high position tactics, the two of you must kill the air cuts of their flankers."

"No problem." Jordan and Pippen nodded.

With their defensive skills, whether it is Kobe or Richmond, they will not be able to get rid of them and implement an inside cut. They are full of confidence in this.

Any super giant has a kind of arrogance that is not to lose to others, to be strong all his life, and to be better than me, not to mention their super giants who have a very high status even in NBA history! !
"After locking up their wing cuts, Dicambe, you must hold your position, don't let Lin Hong squeeze you away, and form a top-to-bottom impact on our basket, can you do it?"

Uncle Mu twitched, I can't do it.

Primary school boy Lin Hong is an enhanced version of O'Neill. His terrifying back attack and nimble footsteps are beyond his reach. Can he withstand it?
To give a simple example, when O'Neal at his peak met Mutombo at his peak, Mutombo couldn't handle it at all.

Even if he is a 4th-time defensive player, he is a player with very good defensive ability, but he met Shaquille O'Neal, and there are players who can't cross the mountains in Africa.

He can't even handle a monster like O'Neill, and he is expected to be able to handle the enhanced version of Lin Hong, isn't he crazy?

After looking at Mutombo's constipated face, Big Bird realized that he was in Meng Lang, rolled his eyes, and then said to Yuren:
"Sean, you are the second barrier inside. If Lin Hong squeezes Dikembe, you must make up the defense in time to block him."

Yuren's face also twitched, is this to let him block it with his life?
Jordan looked at Rain Man with a cold face at this time: "Sean, even if Lin Hong squeezes away or bypasses Dikembe, he can't charge up. As long as you make up your defense in time, you will definitely be able to block him. If he dares to act recklessly, he will definitely stop him." An offensive foul."

"Ok, leave it to me."

Yuren nodded, feeling that what Qiao Gangzhu said made sense.

"When Sean enters the paint area to fill up the defense, others must fill in the vacancy left by him in time." Bird finally urged.

Pause ends.

Eastern possession.

Jordan received Anferney's pass from the flank, looked at Payton who was facing a formidable enemy in front of him, and sneered, "This time, I'm going to break through!"

Payton couldn't help but startled when he stated his offensive style so directly.

Good guy, pretending again! !

Hearing Jordan's provocation, Payton also refused to admit it: "Okay, come on, let the horse come here, I can handle you."

The moment Jordan started, Payton also retreated to defend, and did not lose his position.

The league's first guard DPOY, the ruthless man who defended Jordan to death in the finals, is no joke!
Rich experience and sophisticated observation ability still allow Payton's defense to reach the best position.

Jordan broke through to the three-second zone, and Payton followed him to the three-second zone on the left front of his body, and gave Jordan enough physical confrontation!
"This ball is probably going to hang!"

"We saw that Payton's defensive position was well grasped, not only stuck in Michael Jordan's offensive line, but also given enough physical confrontation!"

"This is Peyton's Death Coil!"

"On the defensive end, Payton's defense is like a rubber glove on his hand. If you want to take it off, you have to pay the price."

"Michael's shot will definitely not be too comfortable this round!"

It is true that Jordan was very uncomfortable being guarded by Payton's close defense, but don't forget that he is the omnipotent basketball god Jordan!
"We saw Michael Jordan take off, and Gary Payton, who was next to him on the left side, jumped up and blocked the shot!"

"The defensive position of the glove is very good, and this ball is aimed at the block!"

Driven by the commentary on the sidelines, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense.

Jordan leaned on Payton's body to force the jump.

Payton took off vertically, without violating Jordan's cylinder at all!
If Jordan forced a layup, then nine times out of ten the ball would be directly destroyed by Payton.

However, Jordan, who rose to the highest point, paused in the air!
"Hover in the air!"

"Find a time difference!"

"Fuck! This is"

"Swapping hands in the air, a giant swing!!!"

That's right, Jordan also knows how difficult Payton's defense is, and fouls and forced shots are not necessarily successful.

So after he chose to stay in the air, he tossed the ball with his right hand and then switched to his left hand, using the time of hovering in the air to complete the change of hands and avoid Peyton's interference!

Switching the ball to his left hand, the moment his body fell, Jordan shook his left wrist vigorously, picked the basket and sent the ball steadily into the basket!

That's right, Jordan used his signature killer feature-a layup in the air!

The score was tied again, and the game entered hand-to-hand combat at the beginning. Can you believe that this is the All-Star, not the finals! !
