Everyone at Staples Center, from the Clippers general manager to the ordinary fans, were all shocked. But the most shocked was the Clippers star, Chris Paul. His shock was not because Wen Hao used almost The same move as Crawford passed Crawford and Griffin, but it was because of the weird ball just now-the basketball was obviously moved forward, but why did it bounce back after it bounced?
This horrified Paul, who has always been known for his dribbling ability.
In the commentary box, Clippers commentator Lawler was also extremely surprised: "What just happened...? The ball bounced back after being shot forward by Wen Hao. This..."
Another commentator, Smith, stared wide-eyed: "It's so weird, so weird. I have been a commentator for thirteen years and I have never seen such a weird dribbling!"
"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay. There must be something that everyone didn't notice."
All the audience followed the instructions of the commentator and involuntarily raised their heads and looked at the big screen. In the picture, the ball shot by Wen Hao bounced back with a weird trajectory. But the audience was still confused and afraid.
"Still can't see clearly, please slow down a little bit," the commentator Lawler said.
The action on the screen was slower, but it was the same as before, and no one could see anything wrong.
"Slower, slower..."
Lawler barked several times.
When the camera on the screen slowed down for the third time, Paul on the sidelines finally understood. It turned out that when Rockets No. 5 shot the ball forward, he did not press the ball down like ordinary players, but used his palms to move from behind the ball. He sliced it down hard. In this way, the ball would spin backwards at high speed, so it would bounce back towards him after it hit the ground.
However, after understanding this, Paul was not relaxed, but even more shocked. It is easy to make the ball spin backwards, but it is very difficult to achieve the spin speed that can bounce back, which requires great strength and hitting the ball. Mental control of the position. If the position is further forward, the ball will not rotate enough and cannot bounce back; if the position is further back, it will not be able to generate such a large rotational force. It must be hit exactly at that point.
Thinking of this, Paul shifted his gaze from the big screen to Wen Hao and secretly exclaimed: "This Chinese dribbling has reached a terrifying level. Maybe, maybe... it is even higher than my dribbling level. So a little bit..."
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Paul himself was shocked. He considered himself to be the best dribbler in the league, and basically no one was better at dribbling than him. But today, after seeing this Chinese performance, he felt that his dribbling was better than his. The position of No. 1 ball is in jeopardy.
At this time, other people also understood through the slow-motion replay. They were horrified that this Chinese could dribble so weirdly. What kind of player was he?
After Crawford came to his senses, he felt deeply humiliated. Being defeated by his opponent using his own moves made him feel humiliated and frightened.
In fear, Crawford managed to muster some courage and said with a guilty conscience: "I don't believe he knows all my moves."
He took the ball, moved it to the front court, faced Wen Hao, and once again used his butterfly through the flowers for a layup.
But looking back, Wen Hao still returned the same extraordinary move to him.
After three consecutive rounds like this, Crawford was about to collapse: "How is it possible, how is it possible? He can actually use all my moves, how is this possible?"
In such panic, he tried to use more complicated movements, but because he was already panicked, his hands were confused, and the dribble hit his feet and went out of bounds. Looking back, Wen Hao used a
He easily passed him with a clean crotch and scored a layup.
At this moment, Crawford almost collapsed on the ground.
"There's something wrong with Crawford," the commentator Lawler's voice was a little deep, "He seems to be confused."
"No matter what move he uses, his opponent can always copy it back. No matter who he is, he will definitely be confused when encountering such a situation. This is the heaviest psychological blow." Smith's voice was equally low.
"I can only say that the Chinese was too scary. He not only hit Crawford technically, but also hit him psychologically. It was too scary."
"If I were a player, I might be eager to meet a strong opponent, but I would never want to meet such a terrifying opponent."
Clippers coach Doc Rivers saw that something was wrong with Crawford and the score gap had been narrowed to 1 point by the Rockets. He immediately stood up and wanted to request a timeout.
Paul next to him stopped him. Paul said to the coach: "Boss, if you replace Crawford now, this will definitely become a knot in his heart, and it will be very difficult to untie it. The best way is to let him
Solve it on the court. Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Then he shouted to Crawford, who was already sleepwalking on the court: "Hey, man, haven't you seen his game video? Shoot, use
Your shooting takes care of him."
When Crawford, who was dreaming, heard this sentence, he was suddenly startled, and then suddenly realized, his eyes suddenly became focused. It felt like Paul gave him a chicken blood injection.
He took the ball, moved it to the frontcourt, faced Wen Hao's defense, and started his best crotch change of direction.
This time, his hands were not messy at all, and his crotch changed directions very smoothly. It was obvious that his confidence had been restored.
When the audience saw Crawford like this, their previous worries were swept away and replaced by joy. They shouted Crawford's name in unison: "Crawford, Crawford..."
Hearing the cheers from the audience, Crawford became more confident. He suddenly changed direction from his crotch to his back, first to the left, then to the right, and then suddenly to the left. His feet also jumped to the left at the same time.
His change of direction was so sudden that Wen Shi didn't react at all. In addition, his jump was very big, which completely opened the distance between him and Wen Hao. At the same time, he jumped high, shook his wrist and shot, the basketball
A solid hit!
"Oh, my God, Crawford performed wonderfully again. This is him, this is his style." Lawler shouted at the right time, encouraging the fans at the scene.
"This time he didn't break through, but used a shot after changing direction. Shooting is the Chinese's shortcoming. Let's see how he copies it, hahahaha..."
Paul on the sidelines also smiled slightly and gave Crawford a thumbs up.
Encouraged by his boss, Crawford came back to life completely, walked past Wen Hao, grinned and said, "Hey, you vote for one too?"
