The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Chapter 406 Champion’s Bet



Is it unreasonable to choose one versus two in this situation? difficult?

Indeed it is.

But this game is about the morale of a team and the direction of the game, and there is no room for error.

If a test paper has 100 points, 60 points for easy questions, 30 points for intermediate questions, and 10 points for difficult questions.

The real soul of the team is not that they don't pass the ball at critical moments, but that they hand over the 60-point easy questions to their teammates and tackle the medium-difficulty and the hardest 40-point questions themselves.

Jordan understood it at that moment.

The guy opposite is not only an excellent scorer, but also the soul of the Sonics.

He just didn't want to leave the responsibility of determining the team's morale in this opening to his teammates. He was exactly the same type of person as himself.

Therefore, there is nothing unreasonable or unreasonable about his choice, but deep down in his heart, he still underestimated him, it's that simple.

At this time, Lin Dong's eyes were fixed on Jordan provocatively, and Jordan was also looking at him.

Their eyes met, and even though they were eight feet away, Jordan could already read Lin Dong's meaning from his eyes.

——Come on, God of Basketball, I will make you a thing of the past today!

"Hey!" Jordan licked the corner of his mouth and shouted to Lin Dong: "God will make an exception for you to work on Sunday, boy!"

Lin Dong laughed: "Waiting for you!"

Wow!

The quiet arena didn't react suddenly until this moment, and burst into a roar.

God makes an exception to work on Sunday?

Did that Asian first grader just say something arrogant to Jordan, such as "God has a day off on Sunday"?

It seems that there is another classic saying that will be passed down forever... I just don’t know whether the popular saying will be ‘God will rest on Sunday’ or ‘God will make an exception and go to work for you’!

but……

- Michael! Michael! Michael!

The stadium reacted and instantly burst into loud shouts, as if calling their heroes and gods.

When the enemy shows you a bayonet, you have to respond. Winning or losing is put aside for now. It's really annoying to have that Asian man so arrogant.

They are looking forward to Jordan's counterattack, looking forward to the wrath from God, looking forward to colliding with something different!

Wizards ball possession.

After Tyronn Lue received the baseline ball, he threw the ball to Jordan without hesitation. When the ball came to Jordan's hands, the entire arena seemed to shake with the cheers of the audience, as if Someone took a sledgehammer and used the arena floor as a drumhead.

- Michael! Michael! Michael!

——GO! GO! GO!

——OH! OH! OH!

Jordan caught the ball and made a steady stop.

Ever since he won the first championship, countless people had been coveting his throne, but the young man in front of him was the only one who made him feel threatened.

He is already 40 years old, and young people are growing up so rapidly. Jordan knows very well that after this season, it may really no longer be his era, and quitting may be his best choice.

However, before making that choice, he must defend the honor of God!

Want to compete with yourself? Want to take the initiative at the beginning of the game?

Jordan stared straight ahead.

Yao Ming has already been entangled by Sakuragi Hanamichi. Although he was full of energy at the beginning, the red-haired No. 10 has obviously entered a new level in off-ball defense through the previous few games. The guy blocked Yao. He regarded the name as a kind of fun, a kind of fun that he went all out to limit his happiness to one second. At this time, he had just passed the midfield. Seeing the short distance of ten meters from the basket, he was afraid that it would take ten seconds. go.

And Artest was obsessed with the seemingly rejuvenated Payton, Tyronn Lue was targeted by the equally experienced Brent, and even Harrington was caught by the first-year player who was half a head shorter than him. The newcomer hangs tightly on the outside.

As soon as the Sonics took the field, the defensive will and intensity they displayed were already close to the level seen in the final quarters of previous games, leaving the rest of the Wizards with no good opportunities for a while.

You can choose to wait for Yao Ming to slowly work his way into the paint to play steadily, which is also in line with the Wizards' rhythm.

But that would lose momentum and make the Wizards seem to be in a passive 'defensive', with the initiative and morale in the hands of the Sonics.

No more waiting.

Don't you just want to fight yourself?

God is not afraid of a challenge, even at the end of his career.

Then come and compete, fight for all the glory of your career, and see who gets busted first!

call……

Jordan looked at Lin Dong, who was waiting in front, and slowly exhaled a breath.

In an instant, the whole person seemed to have entered a kind of emptiness, as if the court for him had only the young man in front of him and the basket in front of him.

Jordan's body suddenly pressed down, and his ultra-low center of gravity suddenly shot towards Lin Dong's left side.

Super low body breakthrough!

Although both of them are good at defense, they are better at offense. The efficiency of each other's single defense is roughly 35% in terms of defensive success rate, so on the defensive end, the psychological battle will be the decisive factor. The key to winning or losing each other.

Then you have to rely on prediction.

You have to predict my prediction, etc. Not only do you have to work hard to predict the opponent's first step, but you also have to predict the opponent's second step in advance. If you make a mistake, you will be doomed!

And now...

Lin Dong's eyes suddenly froze at this moment.

The other party's eyes would not reveal any useful information, it was just like tossing a coin to guess the result of the left and right sides, and this time they guessed correctly.

Status 3!

Also in state 3, the body's reaction completely keeps up with the beating of consciousness.

Lin Dong, who had been prepared for Jordan's move for a long time, also dropped his center of gravity, and his body suddenly started to move.

Forced to block Jordan's breakthrough, relying on advance direction guessing, this step can be completely followed.

And a thought also flashed through Lin Dong's mind at the same time.

What would you do if you were caught by an opponent of Jordan's level and took the first step?

A strong attack is obviously not the best option. After all, both sides have a 35% defensive success rate, so there must be changes.

He might choose not to slow down and change direction, but Jordan...

Lin Dong, who was keeping up, suddenly stopped with one step, and Jordan on the opposite side also made the same sudden stop almost at the same time, dribbling the ball under his crotch.

Got it right again!

Emergency stop jump shot!

Lin Dong's center of gravity was ready to be lifted up, but the next second...

Jordan, who had just made a sudden stop, took advantage of the inertia of rushing forward when he made the sudden stop, and took another step.

It was also an emergency stop, but Jordan's center of gravity was moving forward and Lin Dong's center of gravity was adjusting upward.

A flash of surprise flashed across Lin Dong's pupils, and by the time he adjusted his focus and tried to intercept him again, it was already a step too late.

Jordan, who had already rushed up in the second stage, shot out from his side like a wild horse.

I guessed the first step right, the second step right, but the third step wrong.

Lin Dong sighed secretly in his heart. Although he still tried his best to adjust his focus and try to keep up with Jordan, his defensive position was lost. All he could do at this time was hang behind Jordan and watch him go to the empty basket. Jump high.

Lin Dong also jumped up and blocked the shot from behind with his hands raised high.

He knew that the ball couldn't cover Jordan at all, and the take-off action was even a bit redundant and a waste of energy, but in the final analysis it was still a contest of momentum. You tried your best to block it until the last moment, and you gave up defense after being passed. It will give completely different feelings to your opponent and yourself.

So a blocked shot from behind was followed by a backhand lever dunk after a change of hands.

boom!

The basket buzzed and trembled. Jordan, who landed on the ground, straightened his back and grinned at Lin Dong: "3bet, follow or not."

Lin Dong burst into laughter upon hearing this.

This old gambler.

3bet, which is a follow-up term in Texas Hold'em, means that before the first flop, in addition to the forced bet from the big blind, the previous opponent then throws out a raise, and you raise again Fight back.

This old gambler is provoking himself to raise his bet and challenge him to the end.

Afraid of you? I'm afraid you won't be standing on this court anymore!

The SuperSonics have the ball, and amid the cheers that have not stopped at the arena, the ball has already reached Lin Dong's hands.

Lin Dong knew very well that this game would definitely start with a one-on-one and end with a one-on-one.

In this first hand of cards, I will fight with him to the end no matter what!

Looking at Jordan's provocative eyes, Lin Dong also used Texas Hold'em poker language to smile at him and said: "4bet!"

call!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Dong suddenly stood up on the spot.

Frankly speaking, this 4-bet really surprised Jordan. He originally thought that Asian newcomers like Lin Dong, who seemed to follow the rules, would not understand things like Texas Hold'em. The previous 3-bet was more of a joke.

But I didn't expect that this guy not only understood it, but also shouted 4-bet in a professional manner instead of a layman shouting raise or something.

A fellow-minded person?

Just such a moment of surprise and distraction caused Jordan to slow down for a beat. His body's subconscious take-off failed to keep up with the opponent's ready-to-take-off. The height of the block was a big difference from Lin Dong's shot height, just like in G1. Just like that 3-pointer that decided the outcome, he watched the basketball fly over his head.

"Fuck!" Jordan turned around immediately after landing, and what he saw was a basketball hollowly entering the net.

Three points were scored, 2:5, and the SuperSonics took the lead again.

This guy purposely said that just when he was about to throw the ball...

Jordan couldn't help crying and said with laughter: "Shit 4bet, you just went all in! All the tricks were used!"

Lin Dong smiled and spread his hands at him: "It's obviously you who took the initiative to play poker on this court."

Jordan was startled and couldn't help laughing: "What's the point of playing poker without betting? Do you want to make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"If you win this game, you can choose one of my championship rings, but if I win..." Jordan grinned slightly: "Then all your championship rings from now on will be mine!"

"I probably have more rings than you. It's not a good deal. If I want to bet, I'll bet six of yours."

"Boy, you don't have one now. If I bet one with you, I'm flattering you." Jordan sneered: "Don't be ungrateful, or are you a coward?"

This was what Lin Dong was waiting for.

As soon as I heard that the other party wanted to bet on the ring, I knew that Jordan, an old gambler, was just acting on a whim and had to weld him to death with words.

If you can get a Jordan championship ring with such a bet, it will undoubtedly mark the handover of an era, and its value will be unimaginable!

"Hahaha!" He smiled and said while retreating: "Come on, Michael, whoever is a coward is a bitch!"
