Chapter 424 You and I are almost as close as you are to a long shot!
Wilt Chamberlain looks like this...his brain is filled with water!
At least that's how it seems to Jerry Lucas.
Crazy pitiful, crazy ridiculous.
"Okay, if you can really beat me, I will publicly tell the media that you are awesome! If you lose, tell the media that Jerry Lucas is as good an insider as you and Bill Russell.
Players, how about it?" Jerry Lucas made a small calculation. Unexpectedly, No. 13 of the Lakers agreed in one breath and said: "Okay, let's make the decision."
"How about 6 goals to determine the outcome?" Tang Qian was the first to suggest.
"Of course, because you are so stupid, I can let you choose the way to play, because..." Jerry Lucas said with confidence: "You can't beat me with ten mid- to long-range jumpers.
!understand?"
"Really? Then I thank you for your generosity." Tang Qian nodded slightly, and then said: "Let's start from this round, shall I go first?" "It doesn't matter, you will lose anyway." Jerry
.Lucas still had an expression of being in control of the situation, as if he already knew the result before the competition started.
Tang Qian didn't say anything after hearing this, but raised the corner of his mouth and ran towards the frontcourt.
"Jerry, give me the next ball after the pick-and-roll. I want to compete with him." Tang Qian walked past Jerry West and whispered. West was stunned, but Chamberlain was on the Lakers.
"It's a high position," he couldn't help but reject it out of hand, so after thinking about it for a while, he made the decision to pass the ball.
But Chamberlain's posture surprised everyone.
He, he didn't hold the ball down, but... stopped at a distance and shot with open hands?
Shooting with an open hand? Is there something wrong? Chamberlain shot from such a long distance? This... which nerve of his is wrong???
The on-site commentator of the New York Knicks almost laughed: "Oh~Have you all seen it? The famous Wilt Chamberlain actually shot a jumper from 17 feet? Who can tell me the last time he did this?
Long-distance shooting, which season was it? 3 years ago? 4 years ago? Or 5 years ago? Ha~ It seems that our 'Mr. Stilts' is a little desperate~"
But just one second later, the New York Knicks commentator was "choked" in the throat because the Lakers No. 13's 17-foot shot hit the net with a "swipe" sound.
In the Knicks' net.
"Going in? He actually made a shot?" The Knicks' on-site commentator said with some embarrassment: "It seems that Chamberlain's touch was very good tonight. He usually can't score one goal in 100 shots.
He made the shot as soon as he took the shot today~ But there is nothing to worry about if such a ball goes in, because the probability is too low, and if he is given 20 more games, it is impossible for him to make another shot."
"You're lucky, Wilt. It seems that Lady Luck still favors you tonight~ But..." Jerry Lucas didn't take it to heart and just joked: "Lady Luck is my girlfriend.
~Just give up on this idea~"
The Knicks attacked, and Jerry Lucas was almost at the same distance as Tang Qian. He shot a jumper and the basketball accurately penetrated the Los Angeles net.
"How's it going? Wilt? Have you seen how good I am?" After Jerry Lucas made the shot, he demonstrated to "Tang Qian". "Not bad, let's continue." Tang Qian also laughed.
He smiled, not really caring.
I was originally worried that the silver three-point card would not work in this era, but it seems that I was overly worried. Since there is no relationship between the three-point line, the whole team is assumed to be long-distance shooting by default. This is also convenient for Tang.
Dive and carry out subsequent "work".
"Chamberlain moved up to a very high position and started a pick-and-roll with West. West took advantage of the opportunity to break through, and Jerry Lucas followed up urgently. He did not allow the Lakers' No. 44 to get too comfortable a breakthrough space. And Walter behind him
Frazier also chased after him again, and it seemed that he wanted to form a double team with Jerry to target the Lakers' ball handler, No. 44 Jerry West." In the words of the on-site commentator, it can be said
It was found that the New York Knicks adopted a double-team defense. Lucas and Frazier are both strong defenders, so the consequences of being double-teamed can be imagined.
"Pass it to me Jerry~" shouted, saving Jerry West who was almost double-teamed. West double-teamed the ball and the Lakers No. 13 was open. Then he paused and shot. And this
The starting point is farther than just now, about 19 feet.
In this day and age, this is definitely a long-range shot.
Shot? Even Jerry West, who was passing the ball, was a little shocked by this scene. Because of this distance of shooting, he had clearly never seen Lakers No. 13 practice several times. No, probably not once.
It's only after practice. Then... he dares to take action? This is not blind... Just as he was thinking about it, a "swipe" sound was transmitted to the eardrums of Lakers No. 44.
Basketball goes hollow into the net.
Scored a 19-foot jumper.
"How's it going? Lucas? What do you think of this distance?" After Tang Qian succeeded in shooting, he deliberately asked No. 32 of the Knicks. "Humph, you're really lucky, Chamberlain! But it's not a problem.
Me!" Unknowingly, Jerry Lucas's relaxed mood changed, and his address to his opponent changed from the joking "Wilt" to the slightly serious "Chamberlain."
"Really? Come on then." "Tang Qian" said softly and ran back to the Lakers' half court.
Turning around, Jerry Lucas also hit a 19-foot jump shot, but compared to the ease and naturalness of Lakers No. 13, his shot seemed a bit forced. It bounced on the basket several times before falling unwillingly.
Into the net nest.
"How's it going?" Jerry Lucas shouted to "Tang Qian" after he scored.
"Awesome~ But the game has just started, there are still 4 balls to shoot~ Come on~" The tone of Lakers No. 13's words made Lucas angry inside. You are just a "Wilt Chamberlain"
"That's all. I admit that I am invincible inside, but outside shooting... how can you be my opponent? You dare to talk to me in an "encouraging" tone. Do you think you are a shooting master? Bastard!!! I must
I will let you know the consequences of provoking me in projection!!!
Another high pick-and-roll tactic!
What happened to Wilt tonight? Is it because of the touch?
With a doubtful mood, Jerry West once again passed the ball to teammate No. 13. Unexpectedly, this time, No. 13 was even more exaggerated. He actually stood 20 feet away from the basket and shot the ball.
Take action! This 20 feet was the ultimate distance in the 1970s. Generally, few people would take action beyond this distance. Even Jerry West, at this distance, his accuracy was average, and it could even be said to be nothing.
grasp.
But tonight, as if by magic, the basketball once again penetrated the Knicks' basket.
It was crisp and clean, like an orange-red arc cutting through the air.
Oh my god! How is this possible? When did Wilt Chamberlain have such a shooting range?
Jerry Lucas finally felt a little shocked in his heart and said: I'm afraid it's difficult for me to throw in from such a long distance, right?
"Okay, I'm in again, it's your turn, come on~" "Tang Qian" walked past Jerry Lucas and said "gentle encouragement" again. Jerry Lucas started to get on,
He took the pass from his teammate and attacked the Los Angeles Lakers' basket from 20 feet away with a lot of anger. However... a "dang" was the final outcome of his shot.
Jerry Lucas is very accurate in shooting. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he was considered a leader in inside shooting, but tonight, he encountered a huge challenge. Because the Lakers No. 13, the shooting distance has reached
It represents the ultimate shooting range of powerful shooters in this era. For example, Jerry West and Walter Frazier of the Knicks are all famous "shooters" who can shoot from 20 feet away. This kind of ball is also
Basically reached their limit value.
Not to mention Jerry Lucas, who is still an inside player.
His shooting is very accurate, but it depends on who he is compared with. Among the 4-5 positions, he may be first-class and top-notch, but among outside players, it is far behind. So basically within 18 feet
, is within his best shooting range, and 19 feet is already a little bit inaccurate. As for 20 feet, over 20 feet, Jerry Lucas has never trained systematically, because in the 1960s and 1970s,
There aren't many opportunities to shoot from this distance.
So he hasn't trained much, which is extremely normal. Tang Qian even dared to say this. In the entire league in the 1960s and 1970s, players with a shooting range of 20 feet or more were rare and almost extinct. Before the three-point line was born, players with a shooting range of more than 20 feet were rare.
The shooting distance is the "no-man's distance". What is "no-man's distance" is an exaggeration. It means that if you stand there, even if there is no one 4 meters in front of you, no defensive player will pay attention to you.
If you really want to shoot, then just love shooting~ Anyway, it’s almost just a matter of hitting the iron and collapsing the basket~
The Lakers won the defensive rebound. Tang Qian grinned and said: "Hey~ You have to remember~ Now you have made 2 of 3 shots~ Don't forget~" Seeing the "arrogant and proud" look of Lakers No. 13
With an expression on his face, Jerry Lucas retorted loudly: "You don't need to remind me! I can count myself!"
"It's just a friendly reminder. If you don't like it, I'll still say it." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he ran towards the frontcourt and said.
"Damn it! Stop! If you have the ability, compete with me in shooting against others! Shooting from behind! How about it? Do you dare!!!" Jerry Lucas was also a little anxious, so he couldn't help it.
Open your mouth to modify the rules of the competition.
I thought I could get some back for myself in this way, but I didn't know that No. 13 of the Lakers opened his mouth and agreed: "Okay, I don't think there's any need to go to such trouble. I'll just shoot against your head. How about it?"
?" As soon as this sentence came out, Jerry Lucas became angry and immediately yelled: "Wilt Chamberlain, you are too arrogant! You think you can show off your power by just being lucky and scoring a few goals.
Am I showing off? Let me tell you, when it comes to shooting ability, you can’t even compare to my little finger!”
"Really? Then go ahead~ Let me see the power of your 'little finger'." "Tang Qian" replied casually.
The audience at the scene were not fools. When the fight reached this level, they all saw that the Lakers' No. 13 and their own No. 32 were "getting angry" and "fighting". Then through the on-site commentator's words, the whole Tracy McGrady
The fans at Johnson Plaza Garden got emotional and began to cheer for Jerry Lucas loudly:
"Jerry, blow up that stupid stilt, he's nothing special!"
"Jerry, let him look good! Let him know how stupid he is to compete with you in shooting!"
"Jerry, shoot him and cry! Let No. 13 of the Lakers go home and call his mother~"
This is the benefit of playing at home. Generally speaking, the home team has an atmosphere bonus to disrupt and put pressure on the away team.
But now, Tang Qian is full of confidence, so he is not affected at all.
"Jerry~pass~" Tang Qian started to take the initiative to ask for the ball. Seeing that No. 13 hit three points in a row, West quickly passed the basketball in his hand. In terms of passing consciousness and passing quality, Jerry
Lee West has always been a leader in the league. He used to be distracted by offense. After his complete transformation last season, his assist talent suddenly became prominent. In just two seasons, he became the league's assist leader. Received Basketball
Finally, Tang Qian looked at Jerry Lucas in front of him and said, "I'm coming, are you ready?" "Damn it! Chamberlain! Stop nagging me! I won't let you continue.
Throw it in!" Jerry Lucas immediately retorted after hearing this.
"Really? Then you come and defend yourself." As soon as he finished speaking, Lakers No. 13 stood up from the ground and raised his hand to shoot. The distance was already about 23 feet. This "wonderful sight" is really
It is shocking, because in the basketball world of the 1970s, a 23-foot shot was no less than a "crazy" behavior. After a whole season, except for being forced to take a shot without time, I am afraid that I will never see a normal 23-foot shot.
ft. shooting.
But in 2013, this was just the most common three-point line shot.
This is the power of basketball development. If we don’t talk about anything else, just in terms of various skills, the biggest difference between NBA players in 2013 and NBA players in the 1970s is the effective shooting distance. In 2013, everyone has generally entered the
In the "small ball era", from position 1 to position 5, no matter who you are, inside or outside, there are not many people who can't shoot 3-pointers. Even if the shooting rate is not high, if you really have
If you are open, you can still shoot.
With the globalization of the NBA, the playing methods of European big men have increasingly eroded the league's original big men's style of play.
By 2013, the further back we go, the less rare big men with 3-point ability become, and they seem to be everywhere.
At the beginning of the 21st century, this was only limited to some European big men, but a decade later, domestic insiders in the United States have also awakened to their long-range shooting abilities. Therefore, big men who "can shoot three-pointers" have become rare.
Ordinary, common, even out of the ordinary. But in the 1970s, shots from this distance were still shots against people. It was almost a "once-in-a-century" spectacle, and some Knicks fans at the scene were slightly stunned.
Take a breath.
He is not a player of that era and cannot practice a "three-point shot". He just doesn't have the bonus of a "three-point line". What's the point of practicing such a long mid-range shot? Without the outside world and the media, he is just the main player of the team.
The coach will scold you so much that your face will be covered with a thick layer of spit.
He also shoots this kind of ball? No, this kind of ball can't go in! He must be getting carried away, so...
Before Jerry Lucas could finish thinking, a clear "swipe" sound made him freeze. When he looked up at the scorer, the Lakers had added 2 points.
"How's it going? I hope your 'little finger' can show off~" After Tang Qian made the shot, he turned around and returned to the defense.
"Hey, Wilt, how did you do that? You are so amazing!" During the process of returning to defense, Jerry West couldn't help but ask, because the scenes just now were beyond the limit.
His expectations and expectations were met. "Haha, Jerry, didn't Lucas just say that? This is all luck~ Who told me to have good luck tonight?" "Tang Qian" answered ambiguously, seemingly giving
The answer was given, but actually nothing was made clear.
Jerry Lucas made a shot, but in terms of distance, he was already too far behind Lakers No. 13, and he did not complete the shot on "Tang Qian"'s head. This already explains some problems.
.
"Not bad, not bad, Lucas, you are currently 3 out of 4, keep going~" "Tang Qian"'s expression was very relaxed, as if a strong man was guiding a weak one. Such an expression made Jerry Lucas
Even more depressed and angry, the latter couldn't hold it back and said loudly: "Chamberlain, if you have the ability, go to that place again and score another one! Can you?"
Originally it was just to save face, so that he would not be so embarrassed, but Lakers No. 13's answer made his face turn red immediately, and said: "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Arrogant!
This is the true inner thoughts of all the players on the field at this moment.
Whether they are Knicks players or Lakers players, they all think so.
How come there is another one from such a far away place? And you fully agree to it? If this guy is not arrogant and arrogant, what is he?
Are you just "Wilt Chamberlain"? Do you think you are "Jerry West"?
"Chamberlain is going to pass the basketball again. Will he still shoot from a long distance this time? In front of him, the defender is Jerry Lucas. Lucas defends the ball very seriously and looks like he is ready. I believe this
This time, I can definitely make No. 13 of the Lakers taste the pain~" Under the commentary of the Knicks' on-site commentator, "Tang Qian" continued to tease the opponent: "Hey, don't you like to upgrade the difficulty?
Then let me cooperate with you a little more."
"What do you mean?" Jerry Lucas was already a little dizzy.
"That's what I mean." "Tang Qian" pointed to a point behind him, then smiled slightly and said: "Where should my ball go for shooting? It's up to you." One second, two seconds, Jie
Lee Lucas finally broke out, his eyes flashed with fire, and he shouted loudly: "Chamberlain! You are so arrogant!!! I have to guard you against this ball!!!"
Being provoked in this way, Jerry Lucas also got excited. In fact, he is not such an impulsive player, but who calls the Lakers' No. 13, so dragging and grabbing? He actually dares to tell himself the shooting location in advance.
This is not contempt, what is it??? So Jerry Lucas was really annoyed.
But what Tang Qian wanted was this effect.
It turned out that he was a little worried. No. 13 of the Lakers was playing a trick of "striking in the east and attacking in the west." After seeing "Tang Qian" dribbling to the designated spot, Jerry Lucas gave up his worries and concentrated on defense.
Wilt Chamberlain! You are so complacent! If you score this goal, I will...
"Chamberlain dribbled the ball to around 90 degrees, and then... shot directly???oh~god~ the distance of this shot was at least 24 feet~ He... scored, scored... Wilt of the Lakers
Chamberlain actually, actually made a super long 2-pointer... God, he seemed to have told Jerry Lucas where to shoot in advance..." When the ball came, what did the Knicks commentator do?
He couldn't calm down anymore, because this kind of ball was really amazing and terrifying, enough to make him remember it for a lifetime.
"Oh, didn't I tell you in advance? It seems that tonight, my 'luck' is really over the top~" After Tang Qian scored, he continued to stimulate Jerry Lucas, which made the latter's face,
It almost turned deep red.
What does strength slap in the face? Strength shows off? This is the scene in front of me, so no matter how good Jerry Lucas is in eloquence or how strong his memory is, it will be of no use. Until he defeats the opponent, everything will be of no use.
The Knicks called a timeout because Reid Holzman noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he wanted to interrupt the Lakers' No. 13 shooting touch by applying for a timeout. This was a very correct coaching decision.
It can often have a certain positive effect, but tonight, Reed Holzman is destined to be disappointed.
As for the Lakers, everyone was surprised. They gathered around No. 13 and asked all kinds of questions:
"Wilt, what's the matter with you? You're going to have trouble tonight!"
"Are you possessed by West? No, West is obviously still here!"
"Did you sleep with an alien woman?"
…
Faced with these questions, "Tang Qian" had only one answer: "My luck is really good tonight."
"Luck"? Although everyone doesn't believe it, but other than this explanation, what else can be explained?
…
"Jerry, Jerry, what's wrong with you? Cheer up!" Reed Holzman saw that Lucas was a little upset and immediately tried to persuade him. But the effect was mediocre, because he was beaten in his strongest point.
A severe blow, this feeling is no less than running naked across the court. No. 32 of the Knicks is a little psychologically "injured".
After returning to the court, Jerry Lucas missed a shot. In this way, the grudge match between him and "Tang Qian" was considered a complete failure.
But this is not enough for Lakers No. 13. His plan is to make the opponent completely collapse in this game.
Otherwise, it will still be difficult for the Lakers to come back and win.
Maybe it was a little "unkind" to Jerry Lucas, but the success or failure of the mission was related to whether he could "go home" and whether he could save his "little life". When he thought of this, Tang Qian
I can only feel sorry for the other person.
He couldn't do such a "noble" thing as putting himself to death just to pity his opponent.
Tang Qian came on the court and glanced at the scorer, threw out the last "Qian Jin Ye" and said: "Okay, the outcome has been decided, now let you see my last shot." After saying that, Tang Qian paused.
After a pause, he turned back and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, you said before that Lady Luck is your girlfriend, right?"
"I'm sorry, but she is one of my wives now."
Tang Qian had just walked three or four steps from half court when he raised his hand to shoot, and then said: "So, thank you for your generosity. Isn't it a great feeling to help others support their wives?" There were nearly 20,000 people in Madison Square Garden.
Under his gaze, Tang Qian's super long-range shot went into the Knicks' basket with a bang.
"6-for-6 shooting, that's the difference between the two of us."
"Compared with me in long-range shooting, you are worse, aren't you?"
"Oh, by the way, remember that during the media interview later, you have to publicly say that I am awesome, don't forget it~"
"Okay, please kneel down~"
Bang!!!
Under the double blow of reality and spirit, Jerry Lucas finally burst into anger and lost control.
The scene immediately fell into chaos.
PS: This part will be over in the past few days. After Tang Qian returns, he will definitely become stronger, both physically and mentally~
Yesterday there was no internet connection at home for no apparent reason. I called someone to fix it today and it was just fixed. So today I have an explosion of 10,000 words. Thank you for your understanding~~~Xiao Zi continues to code words~~~
