NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Chapter 216: A Seed Named [Lone Wolf]

While KG in front of him was confused by the logical relationship between the phrase "flexible tongue" and his mother, Hanamichi used his "Iron Elbow", skillfully dribbled the ball into the paint, and ended the first round of offense with a slam dunk.

"The next round is up to you, wimp!"

"You've been in the league for a year, can't it be that you only know one jump shot?"

After landing, Hanamichi also spit at KG. Really, who can't spit?

As the saying goes, give someone a taste of their own medicine, and Huadao played it very clearly.

Although KG, who was a poor student due to his poor academic performance, could not figure out the logical relationship between "tongue" and "biological mother" for a while, he could hear the strong targeted sarcasm in Hanamichi's words.

Based on the principle that you can lose the game but not the battle, and you can’t lose the verbal skills, KG responded with strong confidence:

"I can do a lot more, of course not just that one trick!"

But in his heart he cursed Hanamichi: "Do you think they are all freaks like you?"

In fact, as a power forward player, KG, who is known as an all-rounder and a hexagonal warrior, can do a lot: rebounding, blocking shots, assists, steals, dribbling, assisting defense, dunking, jump shots, etc.

However, watching Hanamichi, who was the first player in the same class to lead the team into the playoffs as the core and scored 20+10 or even 30+10 without showing any weakness in the face of super center and twin tower lineups, KG would occasionally envy Hanamichi's rich and diverse scoring offensive methods and his stronger body than his own during holiday training.

During this period, KG's scoring methods on the offensive end were mainly jump shots in the long two-point area from 16 feet to the three-point line, or mid-range shots after turning around after receiving the ball near the restricted area. He relied more on back turns, especially turns to the right.

Then there are the second-time tips after grabbing the frontcourt rebounds, slam dunks after cutting to the basket, and a small number of hook shots close to the basket.

And then, there was nothing else. There was no decisive killer move, nor any fancy kaleidoscopic offensive methods. In the words of many keyboard warriors: It's just dribbling the ball a few times and then turning around and shooting a jump shot. I can do that too!

So to some extent, the main reason why KG was overshadowed by "Old Deng" and "Old Driver" was his criticized lack of offensive means, which is not unfair to him.

And it just so happens that KG now knows all the flower arrangements, and with the help of the system, he can use them more comprehensively.

For example, for the same turnaround jump shot, KG habitually turns around and shoots because the amplitude of the backward turn is large and his shooting point is very high and not easy to be blocked.

However, Hanamichi is not only good at back turns, but also front turns and dribbling combined jump shots. As early as the national competition stage in his first year of high school, Hanamichi had already been training to connect these offensive methods and movements.

The biggest difference is that KG's ability to attack independently facing the basket is very poor, but Hanamichi is better than him!

In a word, KG, whose true identity has been revealed by Hanamichi, is in big trouble!

On the Timberwolves side, KG really wanted to return one on the offensive end, but when he received the ball with his back to the basket at the 45-degree angle with his back to the basket, he found that the core strength and lower limb strength of the kid behind him had become stronger, and he stuck to him very closely from the beginning, leaving him no space to turn around.

If he forced himself to turn around, he would know without being taught that the red-haired boy behind him would lie down backwards. After all, anyone who could wrestle with Rodman on the court was not a good person.

This puts KG in a difficult position on offense, and he asked online: What should I do if I’m being pinned down by a strong man?

The answer is of course: pass the buck, no~pass the ball!

"In 24 seconds, the point guard controls the ball for 7 or 8 seconds, and I, as the core of the team, hold the ball for another 10 seconds. If I don't find a chance, I pass the ball to my teammates in the remaining 5 or 6 seconds. This is reasonable, right?

So, Stephen Marbury, who just joined the NBA for a month this year, was very honored to become KG's "catch man"!

Marbury: "No, bro! We agreed that you do your thing and I do mine."

KG: "Brother, let me explain this to you later. Anyway, if you want to do the small one, we can do the big one together later!"

Marbury: “…”

Damon Stoudemire: “There’s a chance!”

In a flash, the Flying Squirrel stole the ball and made a layup. Marbury made up for his mistake by returning to defense at an astonishing speed.

Seeing that Das was about to be slapped away by Marbury, he "diverted the trouble" at the critical moment. No, it was a beautiful diversion of attention. He passed the ball without looking behind the person's head to Hanamichi who was running at full speed. The latter caught the ball and hit it with all his might!

After scoring the goal, Hanamichi and Das looked at each other and roared. Then Oakley, the [Evil Man] with heavy armor attributes, came late, touched Marbury and said:

"I'm not saying, do you still want teammates like this who blame others?"

Marbury kept saying to himself:

"He is a [bad guy], and you can't take what a [bad guy] says seriously!"

But the Raptors were full of jokes. Doug Christie passed by and a voice came over faintly:

"He kicked you into the ditch, and you still put it in his pocket?"

In short, it’s just fake brotherhood~not trustworthy!

Stephen Marbury, who had just been in the league for a month, or 30 days to be exact, received a psychological support class from the four starting players of the Raptors. The only gain from the class was that a seed called "Lone Wolf" was planted in his psychological offense and defense!

I have to say, competition experience is a good thing.

Several of the Timberwolves' fast breaks were delayed by Stoudemire's "Shaggy Domination"-style steals, and he even stole the ball twice while Marbury was struggling with his inner thoughts.

Another thing is that the Timberwolves' off-ball positional tactics were completely useless when facing the Raptors' inside and forward players who had full defensive intensity.

At halftime, the score was 50:33, with the Raptors leading by a large margin. (This score was actually the opposite in the original history!)

Among them, although KG made 75 shots with a hit rate of 4%, but as the core of the team, he only took 5 shots in the first half, which was indeed a bit lame!

The Timberwolves' new point guard, Marbury, who started the game, had already made 4 turnovers in the first half, causing the commentator to exclaim that he had encountered the rookie wall!
