Chapter 294 The Nightmare of a Generation (Part 2)(2/2)
Each of these American players are monsters with outstanding physical fitness, but Ruda can actually crush them physically. So how high is his limit?
Chinese players will feel a bit like the Wudang Seven when they watch Zhang Sanfeng at different age groups. At first, they felt he was similar to Xie Xun.
But as they grew older, as their skills and horizons deepened, they finally discovered that the master was actually much stronger than Xie Xun, but to what extent they still didn't have an accurate judgment.
Before this Olympics, Chinese players felt that Ruda should be similar to the stars in the NBA. If he went to play in the NBA, he would at least be the dominant player.
But now they feel that Luda is probably better than those NBA superstars, but there is still no judgment on how much better.
Ruda's return to the defensive end allowed many younger players to get to know him better. This time he took the initiative to defend Jordan on the wing and teamed up with Li Yaguang.
Although Jordan started to stick to the ball, he still sent the ball inside before making a mistake.
Huang Yunlong was forced to defend Olajuwon. There was a certain height difference between the two, and Olajuwon was ahead in footwork and confrontation.
If this happened a few years later, Dameng would have countless ways to solve it quickly, but now it would take him a while to deal with Huang Yunlong.
This little time is enough for Ruda to come back from the outside and form a double-team with his teammates again.
But unlike before, he was careful to be measured and avoid fouls. This time Ruda began to increase his efforts to use physical confrontation to put pressure on Olajuwon. The intensity was already a bit like the Pistons playing in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Olajuwon's ability to hold the ball is still far behind now. Under this playoff-like intensity, he couldn't even pass the ball and was directly picked up by Luda.
It is definitely far-fetched to call a foul for such a defense, but it would make sense if it were actually called.
However, the home referee was indifferent and allowed Olajuwon to fall to the ground in a panic, then turned around and followed the Chinese team's fast break.
The fans at the scene yelled again. They felt that the South African referee was like the sixth man of the Chinese team. It was simply disgusting!
Ruda has already controlled the ball and advanced on his own. This kind of shot will be nothing thirty years later. At that time, there were a lot of players around 2.10 meters tall in the NBA who could control the ball and advance. Ruda was slightly taller than James.
It's not uncommon for someone with a certain size to play a point forward.
But this shot would have been too impactful in the 1980s. An inside man who was 2.06 meters tall and weighed 240 pounds could not only dribble cleanly and quickly through the midfield, but he could also face sneak attacks.
Jordan, who was holding the ball, used a fancy crotch dribbling action, and used the sudden change in rhythm to make the over-exerted Jordan rush out directly from his side.
After Ruda flicked a shot past Jordan, he immediately changed direction smoothly and continued to dribble toward the basket.
But after being slightly delayed by Jordan, Mullin and Stockton had already rushed in front of him on the left and right, preparing to work together to block his breakthrough route.
This time Ruda didn't play fancy tricks anymore. Facing Mullin and Stockton who were about to close the door, he smacked the basketball forward hard, accelerated a second time and rushed between the two of them, and then used a tank-like shot.
His body knocked them all away in one fell swoop, and then he took two big steps to rush to the free throw line.
At this time, a scene that shocked the whole world appeared. Ruda stepped on the free throw line with his left foot and exerted force. He actually jumped up and grabbed the ball with one hand to prepare for a flying dunk!
Jordan's eyes widened behind him. He couldn't believe that Ruda was not going for a layup in this position, but for a dunk!?
But when all the players on the court saw Ruda's back, it was like a rocket booster was inserted into his back. His huge body flew towards the basket at an alarming speed, and soon his head exceeded the height of the basket net.
, and even looks beyond the basket from some angles.
The most astonishing thing was Ruda's relaxed and relaxed dunk posture in the air. At this moment, a photographer on the sidelines captured the whole process of this century dunk. Ruda jumped straight up, actually stuck out his tongue in the air, and separated.
With both legs, put the left arm behind the back at the same time, and hold the ball high with the right arm, as if the whole person is walking in the air, and finally put the basketball into the basket!
Of course, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV did not see the panoramic view of this completion, but they naturally saw Ruda's amazing free throw line dunk clearly!
Dr. J actually performed a free throw line dunk in the "Slam Dunk Contest" in 1976, but in that dunk Dr. J almost stepped on the free throw line with his entire foot.
Half of Luda's left foot crossed the free throw line, but it was still about ten centimeters farther than Dr. J's dunk.
In addition, Luda had a large margin when completing the dunk. Dr. J’s head was already lower than the basket at the moment of dunk, while Luda was only about one head lower than the basket. When dunking, his entire wrist was above the basket.
Also, this is a free throw line dunk in actual combat!
Dr. J's dunk was a solo performance, but Ruda's explosion was after passing three people in a fast break!
This is a very terrifying and incredible "slam dunk of the century"!
The fans at the scene could naturally see how difficult this shot was. Ruda's dunk really completely subverted their understanding of the word "dunk". Some people even showed a look of fear, thinking they had seen a ghost.
Got it!
At this time, the American players were also extremely horrified. One of the cameras showed a close-up of Barkley, showing the big ass with a stunned expression on his face, and his thick lips almost falling to the ground.
But not only was Barkley stunned, Jordan also had a split look on his face!
He also performed a similar dunk in the university's "Slam Dunk Contest", but the degree of completion was slightly inferior to Dr. J's.
Now that he sees Ruda performing such incredible dunks in actual combat, he even has the illusion that this guy is God wearing a jersey and playing basketball.
"The sky is above everyone's head, but I forgot to tell you, so am I!"
Luda didn't hit Jordan too hard this time. He just pretended to be a big contest with the audience gasping and chanting the name of a certain magician in unison!
"How...how could you do this?"
Jordan asked subconsciously. No. 23, who was still very immature at this time, had no idea about the potential contained in his body.
He didn't know that he was also capable of such a dunk, but he had to go through more systematic training. Now Jordan can't even complete a fake free throw line dunk.
"Have you never seen it before? I can complete this kind of dunk with my eyes closed!" Luda chuckled inwardly and continued to pretend to be a big contest in front of Jordan. "I call this move "Space Jam". How about it?
