"How can I trust you?" The man in sunglasses was not an idiot, he asked a crucial question.
Tang Qian was confused for a moment, because this tactic was just a temporary idea, so there was no concrete plan.
But at this moment, the "different space" extended a helping hand.
Black mission card: Have a bullfight with Dennis Keith Rodman. If you win, you will be rewarded with an off-field card. If you lose, all ability cards will be deducted. After seeing the mission introduction, Tang Qian chose to accept it without hesitation.
Anyway, he only has one ability card left in his "pocket" now. If it fails and is deducted, it doesn't matter.
"Want to know the answer?" Tang Qian suddenly smiled and said, "Then come and have a bullfight with me!"
"Bullfighting?" The man in sunglasses, that is, Dennis Rodman, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay! Don't renege on your debt!"
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Tang Qian said.
It is extremely easy to find a basketball court in the United States. As a basketball kingdom, it is not just a boast. Good infrastructure and league selection systems at all levels are the key to an endless supply of talents. Therefore,
They didn't go far when they saw an unused concrete basketball court.
It is said to be a basketball court, but in fact it only has half a court and one basket, but for 1VS1 bullfighting, that is enough.
"It's right here, okay?" Tang Qian turned to Rodman for advice.
"No problem." Rodman replied simply, and then walked into the defender's position.
Tang Qian looked at Rodman's attire and said, "Mr. Rodman, are you wearing leather shoes and jeans today? Isn't it inconvenient for you..." Before he could finish speaking, Rodman interrupted in a carefree manner: "
It doesn't matter, I was once a professional player after all, so this is more than enough to deal with you."
"Then which one of us will attack first?" Tang Qian endured this guy's attitude and continued to ask.
"You go first, but hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Rodman didn't even take off his sunglasses, just looked at Tang Qian and said.
"Don't you need to warm up?"
"What do I need to do to deal with you? Start right away! Stop grinding!"
What a bastard! It’s true that Lu Dongbin is bitten by a dog and doesn’t know a good person’s heart! Since you are so arrogant, I won’t be polite!
The most popular bullfighting rule in the United States is a 10-ball system. The team that successfully attacks can continue to control the attack.
Tang Qian made a few probing steps, then suddenly exerted his strength and broke through to the right. With a "bang" sound, the slightly old basket was baptized by gravity and groaned in pain.
Is it so easy? Is there any mistake? Could it be that the opponent is older and his competitive status has deteriorated?
Tang Qian was very confused in his heart, because Dennis Rodman was a player who had won two DPOYs and eight All-Defensive Teams in the NBA. How could he get rid of him so easily?
Just when Tang Qian was puzzled, Rodman suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Oh? So you are a professional athlete? Which NBDL team are you from?" You just realized that I am a professional basketball player! Huh? No.
!What is NBDL and which team is it? I am an authentic NBA Lakers player, okay!
"You really look down on people." Tang Qian looked at Rodman and said unhappily: "I am now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, okay!"
"Los Angeles Lakers?" Rodman said in his unique hoarse voice: "I know this team? Is that fat guy O'Neal still in it?" "O'Neal?" Tang Qian said with a dumbfounded expression after hearing this: "
Please, how long has it been since you paid attention to the NBA? O'Neal has traveled east a long time ago, and he officially announced his retirement last year!"
"Retired? How many NBA championships has he won?" Rodman asked casually.
"Four." Tang Qian answered truthfully.
"Only 4, huh, it's not that good. His bullshit figure is really in vain!" Rodman seemed to have some trouble with O'Neal, so after hearing Tang Qian's answer, he said with disdain. Tang Qian said
After hearing this, he was slightly stunned, but he suddenly remembered something. Rodman also joined the Los Angeles Lakers, but in the end he was waived by the Lakers due to his unexcused absence from training. He played in 23 games that season,
He averaged 28 minutes, but could get an astonishing 11+ rebounds! You must know that Hua Da Chong was nearly 38 years old that year, and he only had a veteran’s basic salary of 600,000 US dollars, but his rebounds per game were still higher.
For Shaquille O'Neal in his prime! This kind of rebounding skills is simply appalling!!!
That's why Tang Qian was so excited when he saw him, because Dennis Rodman is definitely the number one rebounder after the 1980s! The top four centers are so fierce! But compared with him in rebounding, that's not the case.
Not on the same level!
This guy is only 6 feet 7 inches tall, but he can become an undoubted rebounding leader in the tough NBA era. This ability has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
It can only be described as perverted!
According to gossip, the reason why Rodman deliberately missed team training that year was because he couldn't stand Shaq O'Neal, who always acted like a "boss", so he got into a fight with him. Naturally, O'Neal was not happy with Rodman's behavior.
"Old ball ruffian", so the conflict between the two sides intensified within the team. In the end, the management had no choice but to "abandon the coach" and gave up Dennis Rodman, who had great rebounding ability.
According to Tang Qian, if they had Rodman in the playoffs that year, maybe the Lakers would not have been swept by the Spurs in the playoffs, because in terms of defensive prowess and skills, Rodman was better than O'Neal.
This is definitely not a joke. Take a look at the 1996 Eastern Conference finals. Rodman defended O'Neal alone. The huge difference in body shape directly reminded people of Sakuragi Hanamichi VS Kawada Mikiminami in Slam Dunk. The excitement was very brutal.
.And Duncan exploded that year, averaging 29+10+3+2 per game in the series, which directly overwhelmed the Sharks' 23+13+0.5+1. If Rodman was still there, based on his and Duncan's head-to-head statistics, at least the rebounds would be
It is necessary to have a certain advantage so that the Lakers' basket will not be dominated by the Spurs' twin towers. Otherwise, the second rebounder is Kobe Bryant. This embarrassing situation is really difficult to overcome head-on.
opponent.
But unfortunately, O'Neal and Rodman didn't get along well, so the Lakers had to choose one of the two.
And Rodman could still maintain an average of 14+ rebounds per game until the 99-00 season. If this kind of person stays with the Lakers, the Lakers may be able to start the "Purple and Gold Dynasty" sooner.
O'Neal + Kobe + Rodman + Glenn Rice, let me go, this is simply the rhythm of "Galactic Battleship", okay!
It's a pity that history has no ifs. Because of the disagreement, the Lakers missed out on the powerful addition of this super rebounding champion.
"Haha~ That's that~ Mr. Rodman, you have 5 championship rings. That guy O'Neal is indeed not as good as you!" At this time, Tang Qian did not act stupid and immediately said nicely. "Uh-huh, that's right.
, I think he actually dared to give me a thumbs up when he was with the Lakers! It’s so boring! Even Michael Jordan didn’t dare to treat labor and management like this! He’s the boss!”
As expected, there is a contradiction, and I am considered a "flattery".
Seeing Rodman looking like he was taking advantage of it, Tang Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, since you are a professional player, I will take it seriously!" Rodman took off his jacket and sunglasses, then stood up as a defender again. Suddenly, when Tang Qian held on again
The moment he caught the ball, he felt a huge pressure coming towards him.
It's completely different from just now.
Change, change? This kind of defensive momentum! It’s really strong!
Tang Qian wanted to repeat his old trick, but just as he was about to dribble, his palms went cold and the basketball had been transferred to Dennis Rodman's hands before he knew it. "Your ball protection is so amateurish!" Rodman said nonchalantly.
Dribbling the ball, he said: "Are you still an NBA player? No wonder people are complaining now that NBA games are becoming more and more boring!"
"Damn it! I'm not an offensive inside man! If you have the ability, come and attack me and see!" Tang Qian also got angry and spread his arms to block Dennis Rodman's body. "Really? Then I will
Try." Rodman broke through. Even though he didn't score much in the NBA, that doesn't mean he can't attack. In the early days, he was close to 10+ points for the Pistons, which is not what the public thinks."
The attack is weak."
Moreover, when he was in college, he averaged more than 25 points per game. This is irrefutable.
How many points can Tang Qian average per game if he goes to the NCAA? If nothing else, he will definitely not be able to score 20+, let alone 25+!
But now, he is a defender. He does not think that he is on the defensive end and cannot deal with this "old flower"!
Bang~
Sure enough, Tang potential defensive end blocked Rodman's shot, but due to the rules of this bullfight, grabbing rebounds and floor balls was not allowed, so if the offense failed, he had to switch to offensive and defensive positions.
"Yes, yes, your interior defense level is indeed not bad." Rodman was blocked, but it did not affect his mood at all. Instead, he commented to Tang Qian. "Hmph, don't talk nonsense, I am.
Let’s see how many levels of skills you have left! It’s best if you don’t lose to me then!”
"Losing to you?" Rodman suddenly smiled and said: "I may not be able to keep up with my physical fitness in a 5-on-5 game, but if I play a one-on-one game, then I still have no problem."
Really, then I'll score another one for you to see..." Before he finished speaking, the basketball in Tang Qian's hand was forcibly cut off again. Rodman's cut of the ball was like the Lakers' Ci Shiping.
a copy of.
"Your intentions are too obvious, and your protective actions are not scientific enough. So with your dribbling, I can cut off eight out of ten." Rodman said with a proud smile. "Then you must also be able to score goals.
That's it! You know when playing basketball, the final competition is about scoring!" Tang Qian shouted in dissatisfaction.
Brush~
Before Tang Qian finished speaking, Rodman scored, relying on a long-distance 2-pointer.
"How's it going? Oriental boy? My long-range shooting is pretty good, right?" Rodman said, "It's 1-1 now."
"I know! Come again!" Tang Qian said bitterly, and then began to concentrate.
But if you don’t play, you wouldn’t know. It turns out that Rodman’s mid-range jump shot is so accurate. Why haven’t he used it frequently in games before? Tang Qian may not know much about this. In fact, basketball players in the 80s and 90s all required
Almost everyone has excellent mid-range skills, from inside to outside. However, modern basketball has a detailed division of labor and emphasizes everyone performing their own duties and planning their own affairs, so functional players are becoming more and more prominent.
Brush~
Brush~
Brush~
"Haha~ Boy, it looks like you are unlucky today~ My touch feels as hot as if I touched Beyoncé's butt~"
Almost as long as there is a little space, Rodman can hit. The hit rate under such a small confrontation is simply scary!
"What's wrong? Is this all you have? Come up and be on guard!"
"Damn it! Don't be too arrogant! I'm letting you go because you're older! From now on, I won't show mercy anymore!" Tang Qian was furious when he heard this and rushed over. But Rodman's
A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. The moment Tang Qian started, he broke through and just passed the defender Tang Qian cleanly!
What is this called? This is called trash talk tactics! Sometimes it can play a key role on the field!
After all, Tang Qian was still too young and was eaten to death by Rodman!
With a "bang" sound, Rodman actually took off and dunked!
This old guy can actually jump up and dunk!
What a monster!!!
"It's 9-1 now, boy, do you want to continue?" Rodman looked at Tang Qian and said with a smile.
"Continue! Of course you must continue!" Tang Qian yelled: Otherwise, how will I complete the task!!!
"Okay! You have the guts!" Rodman smiled and prepared to make an emergency stop for a mid-range shot. Tang Qian saw this and expanded his defense as if flying. However, this was just a fake move by the former. In terms of tricks, he was a fool.
But he is a big expert in the NBA.
Tang Qian was tricked again.
"Boy, let's end it like this!" Rodman was about to take off and dunk, but a big yellow hand stretched out from the back of his head to his eyes, then straightened up and covered the basketball in his hand.
Covered?
Rodman landed, looked at Tang Qian in surprise, and said, "Your flexibility is not bad. If you hadn't grown 7 feet tall, I would have thought you were a striker!"
"Humph, it's my turn!" Tang Qian looked at the huge score difference and said in his heart: Damn it! I didn't expect a retired player to be so strong! I'm too careless!
In fact, Tang Qian was already at a disadvantage in this one-on-one duel, because he did not have any qualified offensive methods, and Bullfighting requires big men to dribble, so facing Rodman, Tang Qian struggled on the offensive end. Just on the defensive end
, and his low-post intimidation was greatly weakened due to 1-on-1 situations. Ever since Rodman saw Tang Qian's inside defensive ability, he almost didn't play inside and fired from outside all the time, which made Tang Qian
It was very unaccustomed to me to defend myself secretly, and I was very embarrassed.
No, you must not lose, otherwise once the other party finds out that you have deceived him, the consequences will be unimaginable!
But is there any way to score 9 goals in a row?
For Tang Qian, who lacks offensive ability, this is really a bit difficult.
Even though Rodman is 51 years old, his physical fitness and defensive awareness are still there. With Tang Qian's current offensive ability, it is almost impossible to score 9 goals in a row and win the game.
Unless your opponent gives in and deliberately lets you win.
Huh? Wait? Deliberately leaking water?
When Tang Qian thought of this, his mind suddenly brightened and he said: Yes, you can do it like this, this is a loophole!
"Mr. Rodman, I want to discuss something with you." Tang Qian, who was attacking, suddenly stopped and said to Rodman. "What is it?" Rodman was also stunned and said.
"It's not a big deal, I just want you to let me go and let me win." Tang Qian said shamelessly.
"What?" Rodman didn't expect Tang Qian to make such a request. He immediately shook his head and refused: "Impossible, a one-on-one is a one-on-one, how can we let it go? I, Dennis Rodman, can't do this kind of thing.
come out!"
Sure enough, the other party rejected me, but it doesn't matter...
Tang Qian smiled and said with a confident expression: "I'm a very emotional person. If I'm happy, I can say anything. If I'm unhappy, it's hard to say~" Rhodes
When Man heard this, he was a little unhappy and said: "What! Do you want to break the contract?"
"Oh~ of course not, sir." Tang Qian said with a smile: "If you just want to 'regain your glory', you must lose to me in this bullfight, otherwise..." Tang Qian didn't finish speaking, he spread his hands and let it go.
The other party imagined it. "That's not what you said before! Oriental!" Rodman felt that he was being fooled, so he said angrily.
"Don't be angry, sir." Tang Qian said, "I didn't tell you before. I'll tell you when you win, right?"
"Actually, what I have always wanted to say is, let's have a bullfight, and if I win, I will tell you."
"What! You guy!" Rodman was about to get angry, but Tang Qian suppressed him with one sentence: "Of course, Mr. Rodman, if you don't want to 'revive your glory', then that's okay.
If I lose the game, I can just leave."
Dennis Rodman's expression changed a few times, but he finally succumbed to the desire to "regain his glory." So a few minutes later, he said: "I can lose to you, but if you don't keep your word,
, if you deliberately tease me, I will never let you go!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, the promises made by the Orientals are very effective." Tang Qian saw Huadao lowering his head, and his heart was filled with joy.
No matter how awesome you are in the "different space", B Hong Bang! I didn't take advantage of it! Haha! This is called "IQ crushing"!
After finally "bullying" the "different space" once, Tang Qian was naturally happy!
Who said "different space" is so "cool" on weekdays!
Brushing, brushing, brushing~
Because of Rodman's betrayal, Tang Qian easily reversed the score and won the game. Although the method was a bit "disgraceful", as long as he completed the tasks released by "Different Space"! After dealing with "Different Space" for so long,
He understood that this "different space" had a certain character, so even if he took advantage of it, it would never change its mind temporarily.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Tang Qian received a prompt that the black mission card task was completed, and he was rewarded with an off-site card.
When Tang Qian entered the "different space" and took a look, he was stunned on the spot.
"Dragon, dragon. Great tonic!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"This... Nima really has such a card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tang Qian suddenly felt that the "different space" was very impure.
