Chapter 25: Just look at Jordan, the super wing (please vote for the big chapter,,(1/3)
After Arenas quickly dribbled the ball past half court, Gasol immediately moved up to the high position.
On the other hand, you may not believe it, but Hamilton has already passed Alan Houston at least two times.
Everyone earns a living in the NBA by playing without the ball. Why can you run so well?
In fact, Houston at his peak was also known for his physical strength.
This guy has averaged 40.1 minutes per game in the playoffs during his career. Moreover, as one of the few players in the NBA who can accurately shoot three-pointers with a two-stage shot, his shooting posture is even more standard than Hamilton's and is even more textbook.
.
In his short twelve-year career, Houston hit a total of 1,305 three-pointers, with a career three-point shooting rate of 40.2%.
If it weren't for people's ideas in this era not keeping up with the development of the times, Houston's career would surely have reached higher heights.
Moreover, in addition to running without the ball, Houston also had a certain ability to break through with the ball and play in post-ups at his peak.
It's a pity that in the NBA, it has always been "it's better to bully a white-bearded man than a poor young man."
At this moment, rather than saying that Hamilton stunned Houston as soon as he came on, it would be better to say that time is not forgiving.
On the wing, just as Gasol caught the ball in the high post, Hamilton had already brought Houston in front of Jordan.
Sprewell, who was originally responsible for marking Jordan, hesitated for a while before relying on his explosive physical fitness to keep up with Hamilton.
But at this moment, through the God's perspective of live TV, fans can clearly find that as Jordan slowly sits in the low post, Jordan and Gasol, who is holding the ball in the high post, and Gasol ambushing on the wings.
Artest has already formed an offensive triangle!
Houston, which had been evaded by Hamilton for most of the basketball court, could not have cut off Jordan's route into the low post immediately.
Seeing this, Gasol immediately threw the basketball into Boss Joe's chest.
Due to the strong force of the pass and the perfect position, the moment Boss Joe got the ball, he immediately shook his left shoulder and officially launched the hunting operation codenamed "Hunting Houston".
Houston weighs only about 95 kilograms at the moment, which is not in the same weight class as Jordan, who weighs 110 kilograms. What's more, defense is not his strong point.
Therefore, Jordan's silky flick left Houston behind and also gained an offensive opportunity to face the basket.
Neither of the Knicks' two big men could cover up in time.
Spencer didn't know what to do with Gasol, who was still a rookie at the moment, and was moved out of the penalty area early in the morning.
In addition, Van Gundy did not dare to use Thomas, whose foot speed is slower than that on the outside, to target Jordan. Therefore, Thomas was standing on the outside "smoking" with Artest.
Under the basket, Jordan grabbed the ball with one hand and jumped high.
After clearly feeling the force of gravity, he calmly put the basketball into the hoop.
It turns out that gravity really exists?
Swish——!
2 to 0!
The Washington Wizards played away from home and Michael Jordan took the lead!
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo was very satisfied with the Wizards' offensive cooperation. When Jordan scored, the players sitting on the bench frantically waved towels to Jordan.
On the Knicks bench, Van Gundy still looks familiar, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face that will make you feel aggrieved for him just by looking at him.
Looking back, the Knicks attack.
Because Thomas, who Jordan is responsible for guarding, mostly relies on mid-range offensive methods, the Wizards did not adopt a zone defense tonight, but man-to-man.
As a result, after Jackson slowly dribbled the ball across half court, he discovered in melancholy...
For a while, he couldn't find any place to release the ball.
Sprewell, nicknamed "Madman", had almost just arrived in the frontcourt when he encountered Artest's "strong man lock".
Faced with Artest's "love is stronger than gold, seven-day lock", Sprewell pushed and bumped him, but was unable to shake Artest at all.
On the bench of the Wizards, Wang Shuo suddenly felt that although the ratings of the NBA, which focused on defense during this period, were not good, after getting tired of watching the "Three-Point Contest" in the future, this kind of muscle clash also has its own unique flavor.
.
On the court, Sprewell was troubled by Artest for a while.
Houston also encountered a "mad dog-style defense" from Hamilton.
Hamilton, who knows that defense is his weakness, has always had the most correct defensive attitude.
And as Jackson dribbled the ball past half court, he took the ball and thought for a few seconds...
If you don’t understand, just ask, how much offensive time does the Knicks have left?
To be honest, if another Yao Yao is sent to the Knicks at this time, in Wang Shuo's view, this will be the Houston xx in his memory.
After grinding it out, I don’t know how Van Gundy usually teaches these players to attack.
Seeing that the attack time was running out, and seeing Sprewell using Thomas's screen to squeeze out a small gap, Jackson hurriedly threw the "pot" at the opponent.
However, Sprewell, who did not completely get rid of Artest, was a little too big when receiving the ball.
One second, the "madman" was still thinking about how to attack after receiving the ball. The next second, because he failed to catch Jackson's pass, he encountered Artest's "gangster-like robbery"!
At the scene, some fans have already begun to exclaim!
Because the moment he noticed Artest's position, Boss Joe had already sneaked into the Knicks' half court.
This is also a deliberate arrangement in Wang Shuo's tactics.
Playing a fast break seems to torture an old man like Jordan.
But if you think about it from another angle, you can understand why Wang Shuo insisted on Jordan playing fast break.
Because in Wang Shuo's opinion, this kind of fast attack without confrontation is easier than slowly grinding down the position and playing from behind.
Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Jordan, who was eager to perform, chose to dunk this time after receiving Artest's long pass from the backcourt.
But compared to him three years ago...
At best, this is just a "forced deduction".
But even so, in front of the TV, the Qiao Mi people on the scene were already very satisfied!
Because until today's game started, they were still not sure whether Jordan's physical condition could support him in playing such a high-intensity NBA game.
Bang-dang——!
4 to 0!
Jordan scored 4 points in a row for the Wizards at the beginning!
On TNT TV station, Smith, who was not too embarrassed to watch the excitement, exclaimed: "Michael can still fly! God, this is really amazing. At the age of 38, he can still fly in the NBA! But some 38-year-old former
NBA players can only be commentators now!"
On the side, Buckley was so angry that his teeth started to itch as he said, "Thank you, Kenny."
On the Knicks bench, Van Gundy, who had a bad start, spread his hands and shouted to the Knicks players on the court to calm down and calm down with a frown on his face.
But is this really a problem that can be solved calmly?
In Wang Shuo's eyes, the Knicks' offense tonight had no routine at all. It was all about slowing down the pace.
As a result, after Sprewell, their strongest point, was restricted, others were like headless flies, stumbling around the Wizards' defense.
In the top arc, Jackson learned smartly this time and called Spencer in advance to pick and roll for him.
But who would have thought that Gasol simply ignored Spencer and instead oppressed him with Arenas.
Jackson, who is known for his clear-headed playing skills, knew that as long as he could change direction and accelerate, he could break into the Wizards' paint and score a wonderful top-five goal.
Can......
Jackson, whose body couldn't keep up with his brain, still couldn't take his steps forward.
Another mistake.
From the opening game until now, the Knicks haven't even been able to complete a decent offense.
Gasol, who blocked Jackson's passing route, successfully intercepted the ball with his long arm and immediately handed the ball to Arenas.
After getting the ball, Arenas was not greedy for credit. Looking at Jordan who had already followed up, he decisively handed the ball to Boss Joe behind him.
It is true that everyone in this Wizards team has a different personality.
But one thing is the same for everyone.
Basically, everyone is Qiao Mi.
Jordan scored under the basket.
6 to 0.
He scored 6 points in a row in the opening game. Jordan was very happy playing on the court, and Wang Shuo was also very happy watching from the sidelines.
Wang Shuo now believes more and more that the Wizards will be able to amaze the world in the new season under the leadership of the "one high and one fast" combination of him and Jordan.
Turn around, the Knicks have the ball.
Houston used an iconic mid-range shot to stabilize the Knicks' position, and also slightly saved Van Gundy's head that was about to be bald by himself.
To be continued...
