Chapter 391 Physical Crisis
Sudden horizontal interception.
This is not chasing you from the side, but directly going around and blocking you.
What’s even scarier is that this is Payton and Lin Dong!
One is the founder of Death Coil on the defensive end, and the other is his apprentice.
Lin Dong averaged 2.29 steals per game in 82 games this season, while Payton, who focused on the defensive end, averaged an astonishing 2.87 steals per game in only 62 games this season. !
This shows how strong the two are at stealing and grabbing the ball.
Faced with two people like this, one on his side and one in front of him, with four death-wound hands blocking him at the same time, no one can control the ball steadily, not even the God of Basketball!
But the God of Basketball doesn’t need to control the ball...
Snapped--
In the extremely fast sprint, the man and the ball instantly merged into one. With the help of the impact, they instantly withstood the physical confrontation from the two people's flanking attack. The center of gravity of the two people rushed back slightly, followed by a step high on the ground. Jump high!
Fallback jump shot.
Lin Dong and Payton had already achieved the ultimate blockade. Even if their center of gravity was pushed back, they both anticipated Jordan's retreat and jumped forward at the same time. Their four big hands covered everything in front of Jordan in the blink of an eye. Sky!
However, a faint smile hung on the corner of the basketball god's mouth.
At this time, his body maintains ultimate balance in the air, and his perfect perception ability in state 3 allows him to clearly see the position of the basket even with his eyes closed.
call!
The basketball was thrown high, almost as high as Lin Dong's previous negative angle shot. However, Lin Dong's shot went over the basket, while Jordan's shot went over the big hands of Lin Dong and Payton. That’s all.
Uh-huh!
The goal was scored, 42:47!
-Michael! Michael! Michael!
——Seeing that there are no boys, this is the real calm one against two!
——That's right, even that kid was forced outside the baseline. That's called a lucky ball. This is Michael's real strength!
The home arena exploded with a bang, and the cheers shook the roof. They couldn't vent when Lin Dong got angry earlier, because if they vented, Lin Dong would hit him hard right away.
But it's different now. The God of Basketball has taken action. If that kid dares to hit one, the God of Basketball will give him ten in return!
"Good defense, boy!" Jordan, who landed on the ground, had a sly smile on his face. Yan'er returned Lin Dong's words directly to him, and by the way, he also gave him a free gift: "You two You almost blocked me!"
"Qi!" Payton snorted in extreme displeasure, but he was also secretly alert.
The old gangster looked a little different from before.
Is this guy really 40 years old? Fake, feels younger than himself... The explosion at that moment made Payton feel like he was back in 96 in a daze. If it weren't for Lin Dong's replacement, he would have been taken a step ahead. I couldn't even force Jordan's kick back.
Lin Dong laughed loudly: "Do you want me to pay you back?"
"That depends on whether you have the ability."
"Then just watch!"
SuperSonics possession.
Sakuragi was still entangled with Dayao. Payton held the ball through half the court and handed the ball directly to Lin Dong immediately.
At this time, Lin Dong's position was still two steps away from the three-point line, and Jordan was directly in front of him.
The four 3-pointers with a 100% shooting rate at the beginning of the second quarter not only allowed Jordan, but also the entire league to see the terrifying and precise ability of this guy on the outside. Jordan did not dare to let him go, even if he had to bear a certain responsibility for it. There is a risk of being breached, and you will never dare to let go of him even one step away.
But the problem is, there are some things that you can’t just let go of if you don’t want to.
Lin Dong quickly started to break through from the left, and Jordan followed suit and blocked the ball.
Lin Dong's center of gravity paused slightly, and Jordan felt it, but this time he did not dare to shift his center of gravity in advance like he did before. Compared with his threat of changing direction without slowing down, this kid's two-stage breakthrough was only slightly worse. And nothing less, because one less movement to change direction will only make him faster.
This time it was a change of direction, and if Lin Dong had already started to change direction before trying to block it, he would obviously lose the opportunity.
Jordan's steps were a little slower, and what followed was Lin Dong's second change of direction!
Jordan in state 3 kept up again, and even continued to block Lin Dong's route while leaving himself with the continuity of physical fitness for the third change of direction.
But he was a little slower before, and now he is a little slower, and he has to prepare for the third step of changing direction. When these weak gaps, which may only be a few tenths of a second, come together, Lin's 0.1 second advantage is enough to give Lin East is finished.
The pause in the center of gravity in the third step is no longer a change of direction or a two-stage breakthrough this time, but a pull-up on the 3-point line.
Jordan's extremely explosive take-off blockade, but the 0.1 second slower became an insurmountable monument for him.
The basketball flew out of Jordan's head almost against Jordan's outstretched fingers.
Uh-huh!
The goal is scored, 42:50!
"Haha, you almost guarded me Michael!" Lin Dong said this as expected.
But the one who turned around and got beaten was Payton...
Also receiving a pass from Tyronn Lue from the 3-point line, Payton's close-fitting entanglement, Jordan used the same trick as Lin Dong just now, but he turned two changes of direction without slowing down into an extreme ultra-low breakthrough, and then made an emergency stop. Fall back and jump high.
Before Lin Dongxie could defend him, the basketball had already come out of his hand and entered!
45:50!
Amidst the cheers of the whole stadium, the SuperSonics quickly sent out a baseline ball, and Lin Dong held the ball.
Seeing that Dayao had not yet returned to the basket under Sakuragi's crazy blocking, Lin Dong simply chose to get up just past the midfield!
This is too far...
Seeing the guy jumping up, Jordan, who had already taken a step outside the 3-point line, immediately gave up his intention to defend, and simply turned around and looked towards the basket.
Uh-huh!
Come in!
45:53!
Jordan turned around and shot back. It was also a 3-pointer, but it was not a shot from outside the 3-point line. Instead, it faced the double defense of Payton and Lin Dong and once again forced a change of hands to kill the basket.
Payton also defended the real fire. It was obviously the crazy competition between the two people, but he was always the one who got beaten. This time, his defensive actions were a little bigger.
beep!
Uh-huh!
The referee whistle sounded.
"The goal is valid. SuperSonics' No. 20 player fouled and received an extra penalty!"
With the free throws made steadily, at 48:53, the point difference was back to 5 points again.
The atmosphere in the arena has been completely detonated at this time.
Lin Dong hits one, and Jordan responds with one.
Lin Dong was a little more aggressive from the outside, while Jordan was more lethal from the inside. The scores of both sides went back and forth, rising alternately, and no one fell behind.
Both teams on the offensive end are watching the performances of superstars, but on the defensive end?
Frankly speaking, I can’t help it…
Payton and Lindong couldn't stop Jordan's goal; Jordan and Yao Ming's flanking attack couldn't surround Lin Dong.
The two occasionally shared the ball, but rarely.
After attracting Dayao's double-team, Lin Dong passed one to Sakuragi, who was completely vacated under the basket, and one to Iguodala. Both were excellent openings created by Lin Dong after attracting the double-team. All finished.
Jordan passed one to Yao Ming, and another to Harrington on the outside. Yao had already established his position, and Harrington's wide open space was too tempting.
This allows both sides to constantly adjust each other's defense. Of course, they are only targeted defenses against other players. As for the two monsters that are flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, the only thing that can stop them is their own touch!
54:59, 57:62, 60:65!
The 5-point difference was always maintained until the end of the second quarter, and the two guys in full condition barely missed a beat!
And another statistic, under this crazy score, made almost everyone who saw it hold their breath.
38 points in a single quarter!
When this data appeared in front of various analysts and in the Wizards' team statistics, everyone felt numb.
What is the current record for points scored in a single quarter in NBA history?
It was the 1977-78 season, when George Gervin, known as the "Iceman", scored 33 points in a single quarter in a Spurs game.
And even if others are as strong as the ancient beast Chamberlain, in the game where he scored 100 points in a single game, his highest score in a single quarter was only 31 points!
But now, he was surpassed by this first-year rookie, and while improving his highest score by a full 5 points, he also got 2 assists and maintained a terrifying shooting rate of over 80%!
Farke...
This is the only word that flashes in the mind of anyone who understands data when they see this statistic.
So perverted!
Although the performance of the Basketball God in this quarter was equally terrifying, and he maintained the same scoring efficiency as Lin Dong in the second half, but after all, he broke out 5 minutes late and only scored 17 points.
But at the same time, the crisis brewing under this horrific score and this exciting second quarter also appeared in each other's teams.
Huchi, wheeze, wheeze...
It was just the end of the first half, but Yao Ming was already breathing heavily.
The opponent's No. 10 is really difficult to deal with. In terms of absolute strength, Yao Ming is confident that he can defeat ten Sakuragi Hanamichi! But that guy didn't fight with you under the basket at all. Instead, he dragged each other's battlefield into endless consumption, making Yao Ming feel that every step he took on the court cost a high price. It was like his legs were tied up by that guy.
What's even more frightening is that the opponent's physical strength is like a bottomless abyss. It's obviously been exploding and being consumed like an all-out sprint. It seems that every move has reached the limit of the opponent's explosion, but it can continue forever. This intensity comes down.
This is like a guy who has been running 10,000 meters at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Even if his 100-meter time is only a second-rate runner between 11 and 12 seconds, if he can run 10,000 meters at this speed, who in the world can beat him? ?
Dayao's physical exertion gave the Wizards a strong sense of crisis.
This kind of mutual exchange between Lin Dong and Jordan cannot continue until the fourth quarter. If they play like this for half a quarter or a quarter at most, the two of them will inevitably fall down tired. The importance will be reflected. If Yao Ming is exhausted by that time... the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Stop getting entangled with that No. 10." Jordan also started to pant: "If he wants to pester you, let him pester you. Stand still and let him pester you. Save your energy! I will solve everything in the third quarter!"
Doug Collins looked at him worriedly. It is not easy for a 40-year-old guy to fight like this on the court. If he is to continue to fight in the third quarter in this state, even if he survives, , how much gas does he have left in the tank in the fourth quarter?
"Enough to destroy them!" Jordan's eyes were extremely determined at this time: "Don't forget, that kid broke out before me. If he can move, I can too!"
At the same time, on the SuperSonics bench...
Lin Dong was already breathing heavily. From the moment he left the zone at the beginning of the second quarter, he began to work hard. After the whole quarter, even Lin Dong's physical strength began to be a little overwhelmed.
McMillan also looked at him with the same worry, but there was another person who also had to worry.
Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was nicknamed the perpetual motion machine by the players in the team, also began to breathe heavily!
