When he was first reborn, Milicic didn't use his body very much. He was once less than 1.8 meters tall and suddenly turned into a strong man of 2.16 meters, and his movements were completely based on muscle memory.
Although the memories of Milicic and Milicic were integrated, he did not think them all carefully. He still relied on his own sense of leadership to lead the actions. Of course an ordinary person would be nervous when facing the star player McDyess. Generally speaking, it is like
In martial arts novels, ordinary people have the same skills that have been injected into them for decades, and they can only perform at 30 to 40%, which is the limit.
But now Milicic has made a qualitative leap compared to that time. He can already use this body as freely as his original owner. After the Olympics, he also understood his own strength and height. Although he has a certain gap with top players.
There is a gap, but he is by no means a guy who can be bullied. The most important thing is that he has the ability to withstand pressure that Milicic did not originally have. In any case, his mental age is close to thirty years old, which is different from the original seventeen-year-old.
Milicic is definitely different. No matter how strong a teenage boy is, he can't stand Brown's endless blows.
Why is the Big Ben even more hostile to Milicic? After returning from the Olympics, Milicic no longer behaves like the timid boy he was last year. Like a player, he no longer suffers from the unfamiliarity and distance in the confrontation.
The cowardice and fear that arises from it.
Milicic held the ball on his chest with both hands, lowered his head and stared at McDyess in front of him with raised eyes, and said: "Antonio, thank you for teaching me before. I think I won't let you down too much this time."
.”
After all, McDyess is a veteran who has been around for many years and does not want to make the relationship tense. He said: "Darko, I will compete with you with all my strength. Don't blame me. Since I have chosen to fight you, I have no way out. I have the ball."
I can give it to you first."
In a one-on-one match, the two of them shot three-pointers from the outside. The one who scored got the ball for the first time. Milicic took the ball and walked outside the three-point line and said: "The ball is mine, but it's not mine."
What you gave me, it should have been mine." As he said that, Milicic shot a three-pointer from the front three-point line. His upper arm, forearm, wrist, and fingers moved in one go, and the final soft touch after the ball was released
With a tease, the whole action was like a basketball textbook. The ball hit the target!
Milicic kicked off the ball first. He took the ball at the three-point line just now. He was taking the lead and adjusting his touch. During the previous trial performance, he was sure that his touch was very good. After receiving the ball, he moved with his right foot.
In front, with his left foot as the axis, he took the ball with both hands and placed it on the lower left side. Stepping back with his right foot was a precursor to starting a breakthrough. McDyess subconsciously lowered his center of gravity and spread his hands to both sides, but he ignored Milisi just now.
When Qi stepped back with his right foot, both of his feet were outside the three-point line. Milicic raised his hands from bottom to top. Only then did McDyess react. It was too late to block the shot forward, and he quickly
He stretched out his hand to block Milicic's sight. But less than a minute ago, Milicic hit a three-pointer in the same position. The current position and feeling are exactly the same, and the force has not changed at all. It is just a block.
How could a part of the line of sight block Milicic's three-pointer? This three-pointer hit again.
The ball was handed to McDyess. Both of them were inside players with flexible pace, but McDyess had to be discounted a little due to his serious injury. Milicic relied on his pace to stick to McDyess, so he identified McDyess.
It is impossible to attack from the three-point line to your own shooting area, so what you need to guard against in this section is his breakthrough. Just stand back a little and not be penetrated. McDyess reached the position on the right side of the free throw line and made a gesture to rush forward.
, Milicic took a small step back, but this also gave McDyess enough space to shoot, and he hit a jump shot.
McDyess caught up with one point and the score became 2-1, so Milicic switched to attack.
The first three-pointer was Milicic's tactic. He knew that he might only have one three-pointer to shoot in this one-on-one match. Long-range shooting didn't solve the problem, but he attacked first and led by 2 points.
, which gave him enough advantage to put McDyess into a passive position from the beginning.
This time, McDyess was closer to Milicic. Milicic still made the same move. The difference was that the ball was not raised high but was dribbled down. He accelerated and was in a parallel position with McDyess. The two leaned against each other.
They rushed towards the basket together. Milicic saw that he was inside the free throw line, took a big step and completely squeezed McDyess behind him, and ended the attack with a two-handed dunk.
It was McDyess's turn to attack, and it took a lot of effort to get inside. With Milicic's back, he took two steps and hit a turnaround jumper.
Milicic attacked and entered the position under the basket. He held the ball on the left side of the basket with his back to the basket. He made two dribbles with his left foot as the axis. Seeing that if he wanted to turn to the right and make a hook shot, he could only rely on anticipation to defend the hook shot.
Referee, McDyess judged that Milicic must move to the right side near the basket and hook with his right hand. But when Milicic saw McDyess's action, he turned left and moved to a position further away from the basket.
Zero degree angle used a hook with his left hand, hit!
This shot may seem ordinary, but it moved the players watching the ball. You must know that even in the NBA, players who can hook with both hands are rare, although Milicic does not have a long hook like a sky hook.
, but being able to practice the left-handed hook still shows that he has worked hard on the inside offensive skills. Shooting with the left hand during the trial training does not mean anything. There are many people who have practiced the two-handed hook, but they can use it flexibly when facing the defender.
But it is very rare. From Milicic's action just now, it can be seen that that moment is definitely not an accident. In the past, Bill Russell, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Olajuwon were all masters of this, with 2 meters.
He is taller than 10 and possesses skillful left- and right-hand hook skills. In an era in the NBA where offensive big men are scarce, this kind of traditional center can earn a mid-level contract at worst.
McDyess and Milicic are both better offensive players than defensive players, and one-on-one basketball is dominated by the ball holder. Sometimes a half-step gap is enough for people to complete an attack. You can do it with the two of them.
I actually couldn't guard anyone, but Milicic had a 2-point lead. In the end, Milicic scored 11 points first, ending the one-on-one confrontation 11-9.
Rasheed and Billups took the lead in applauding after the last ball hit, and even Davidson couldn't help but be moved.
McDyess put his arm around Milicic's neck and said: "Darko, you are great. If I hit 10 more goals, I might not be able to keep up with you."
Milicic looked at Larry Brown in the stands and felt mixed emotions for a moment, wanting to laugh and cry...
