Chapter 485 Supersonic New Combination

As Yao Ming hit the free throw steadily, the score came to 12:2, with a difference of 10 points!

The ball was in the Sonics' possession.

Lin Dong still held the ball.

Kobe Bryant directly pushed forward at the midline, and kept about one step away from Lin Dong, and then slowly retreated until both sides were about two steps away from the three-point line.

Lin Dong controlled the ball and stood there, and Kobe also stopped.

Lin Dong's rhythm of controlling the ball was not slow or fast, and he was calm and relaxed, as if he was not affected by the defense just now.

Kobe Bryant had already spread his legs and lowered his center of gravity like a beast ready to hunt.

The two looked at each other at this time, and the eyes that seemed to be calm began to flash with war.

The calmness and depth in the eyes of the two people before?

That was not the highest realm.

But it was just because when the gap between them was too big, one could see through the other completely so there was no need to get excited, while the other was trying to hide his fighting spirit, trying to confuse the other's judgment, or blindly imitate.

But if they reached the same realm and could threaten and challenge each other, the calmness of the lake would definitely be broken.

The uncontrollable excitement and war would burn from the bottom of the calm lake and roll out of the water!

Two hot sights collided in the air, as if rubbing out lightning!

——Kobe! Kobe, Kobe...

The excited noise at the stadium was involuntarily reduced under the imminent fighting spirit of the two people. People were attracted by the momentum of the two people, and involuntarily began to forget to cheer and get excited, and then were led and infected into the "perspective" of the two people, and entered the battle of the two people!

The stadium began to become more and more quiet, so quiet that in the huge scene of 20,000 people, Lin Dong's extremely rhythmic ball-bouncing sound could be heard.

Snap... Snap... Snap... Snap...

This is a move.

Kobe, who was confronting him, had eyes like a tiger, lowered his center of gravity like a beast that was ready to eat someone, and his open arms were as daunting as the scythe of the god of death.

With such movement and stillness, the entire court, the entire stadium, and even the entire sky seemed to be divided and opposed by the momentum of these two people!

Not only the fans, but even all the other players on the court at this time, were involuntarily attracted by the confrontation between the two people. The momentum was too strong!

Kobe Bryant stared at Lin Dong's eyes. The defense just now obviously gave him great confidence.

The two have often faced off in recent years, and Kobe has defended Lin Dong many times, but that kind of "defense" was mostly based on Lin Dong's own mistakes or occasional inaccuracy. It was completely different from the ball just now, where he predicted every move of Lin Dong from beginning to end, blocked every step of his attack, and completed an effective defense without any mistakes from Lin Dong.

Lin Dong's eyes finally looked no longer so calm and deep, which meant that he finally had the strength to stand on the same track with him!

At this moment, three years of frustration and depression were completely released, and three years of hard training and sweat were also best proved.

Bang!

Kobe Bryant suddenly slapped the ground with his palm, and the war that had been suppressed in his heart for three years was completely freed at this moment, and he issued his declaration of war to Lin Dong: "Come on! Brother!"

Then, before the audience on the scene could make any associations and excitement about this historic scene, Kobe Bryant saw the smile at the corner of Lin Dong's mouth.

Huh!

Right!

Lin Dong's action and Kobe's judgment almost appeared at the same time.

It was not only a reaction brought by high concentration, but also an instinctive prediction of Lin Dong's behavior and psychology.

Guessed it right!

With a half-step defensive distance and a predicted direction, Kobe Bryant blocked Lin Dong's way at the first time like lightning.

Bang!

The two bodies came into contact instantly, and it was obvious that Lin Dong's impact was more impactful than ever before. It was obvious that the challenge just now made Lin Dong serious.

As strong as Kobe was, after two years of defensive training and physical training, he also felt like being hit by a beast at this time, forcing his left leg that supported the ground to retreat half a step back to gain leverage.

Use confrontation and impact to create a breakthrough opportunity?

Although he was forced to retreat half a step, the opponent's center of gravity was also swung back more dead, so it was difficult to turn at this time. In addition, his left leg retreated half a step, which seemed to be forced to have a flaw. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the choice of the ball holder must be to break through.

However, the guy in front of me is not a normal person!

That guy always likes to do the opposite.

Although retreating half a step further has given up some defensive space, it is actually only a little bit, which is not considered a loss of position. In this case, the defender will often pay more attention to the defense on this side, and the center of gravity will be more determined.

That guy pays too much attention to these details, and it has already reached the level of instinct. This option of "choose one of two" seems to require a lot of consideration of details in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, there is no choice problem for that guy at all.

When the offense and defense are so intense and the details are raised to such a high level, there is no so-called infinite nesting dolls.

Instinct is the only choice for players at this level!

When the defenders’ attention is focused on the right side, the left side is often the most dangerous.

Change direction!

Kobe Bryant’s eyes were like torches at this time, and he made a choice that was completely contrary to his normal inertial thinking. When there was a flaw on the right side, he decisively pulled his center of gravity to the left again.

And exactly the same as his judgment was Lin Dong’s completely synchronized change of direction.

Blocked again! Perfectly blocked!

Countless fans in the stadium were surprised and happy, but LeBron, who was sitting in front of the TV in Cleveland, frowned.

If there are still people who doubt whether Kobe Bryant ‘happened’ to defend Lin Dong, then these people must not include LeBron.

The same study of Lin Dong made him have the same judgment of Lin Dong as Kobe Bryant, and the reason why Kobe could defend him was because Kobe’s movements were faster, more agile and more flexible than his own.

But his brain often caught up and predicted it, but his body movements could not keep up.

Could it be that... what he had been doing all this time was wrong?

Should I not gain weight to strengthen my body's muscle capacity, but lose weight to pursue more extreme agility and speed? Then, combined with my current understanding of Lin Dong's offense, can I do the same thing as Kobe? Can I defend against the biggest enemy in my life? !

LeBron's eyes are burning with fire.

He is so eager to do this that he has even reached the point of obsession.

If this path really works, he would never mind treating this entire season as his weight loss date, even if he performs poorly in the regular season due to such adjustments, even if he pays a higher price for it... He will not hesitate!

And at this time on the court...

Kobe, who blocked Lin Dong's first change of direction, is already pulling up the next center of gravity.

Second change of direction!

Advance prediction, god-like synchronization.

Block again!

All of Lin Dong's actions and choices at this time are as clear and transparent as the blue lake in New Zealand in Kobe Bryant's eyes, as if there are no secrets at all.

But...

Kobe Bryant's eyes suddenly lit up.

So fast!

The so-called change of direction without slowing down is just a "general term". In fact, no one can change direction without slowing down, including Lin Dong. It's just that other people need to stop or stop the inertia of sprinting first, but this guy can change the direction of the inertia of rushing forward at will, so that when he compares with other people's changes of direction, it looks like he has not slowed down.

But there will still be a reduction in speed after all, and that is the speed that Kobe Bryant can fully adapt to.

But at this moment, after the second change of direction, Lin Dong's speed is a bit extraordinary. Obviously, he predicted his action in advance and blocked Lin Dong's breakthrough direction perfectly, but Kobe Bryant still has a feeling of "not being able to catch" the opponent. The extreme speed seems to have suddenly exceeded Lin Dong's upper limit, and even forced into Kobe's right defensive position.

Increasing the speed to such a level means that the opponent has completely given up changing direction and wants to break through to the end.

This was Kobe's first reaction, but even after thinking of this, he shifted his center of gravity to the right without reservation, but he still couldn't stop Lin Dong's breakthrough. He could only rely on physical confrontation and upper hand to force hanging on Lin Dong's side.

How could the speed suddenly increase so much? How could it suddenly exceed the limit? How could it be possible...

Kobe Bryant's thoughts were not yet finished, but his eyes suddenly froze.

It was not until he had rushed out two or three steps with Lin Dong's speed that exceeded the limit that he realized that the ball was not in Lin Dong's hand.

It was not that Lin Dong's speed suddenly broke through the limit, but because he had no ball!

That guy just made a breakthrough, and the speed without the ball would of course be faster than the speed with the ball, but...

How could he pass the ball? How could he pass the ball? !

After studying everything about Lin Dong, Kobe felt that he was Lin Dong now.

He knew his opponent too well. For that arrogant guy, that guy who had been invincible for three years and was extremely eager for challenges, how could he choose to escape when facing his challenge? Choose to throw the ball to others?

Did he think he couldn't break through his defense? Frankly speaking, even Kobe, who was full of confidence, never thought that Lin Dong would choose to escape when facing him. After all, even if he did this, that guy was still a mountain that he needed to challenge and look up to! But now the other party's choice...

The thought in his mind was like an electric current, and another equally important thing now was... Where is the ball?

The first thing Kobe thought of was Rukawa Kaede, and he hurriedly looked up to the right outside line, only to see that the No. 11 of the Supersonics had already stood up on the three-point line.

Lin Dong's gorgeous breakthrough really attracted too much attention, so much so that even Nash's attention was pulled over, and when he turned around, a sudden pass from behind was made. Nash didn't even see it at the first time, not to mention stealing it. He was focused on the duel between Lin Dong and Kobe.

And when he realized it, the ball was already in Rukawa Kaede's hands, which made Nash suddenly startled.

Lin Dong's breakthrough just now not only drew his attention, but also involuntarily brought his defense a little inside. After all, double-teaming Lin Dong is the instinct of all NBA players now.

This put him about one and a half steps away from Rukawa Kaede.

That shooter, open three-pointer!

Nash's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rushed towards Rukawa Kaede at the first time. Although he was not tall, he was very defensive, and his momentum was like he was going to eat anyone!

Nash knew the weaknesses of this kind of "newcomer". To deal with them, you don't even need to pay attention to any defensive skills. As long as you overwhelm the opponent in momentum, you can block this kind of newcomer from a psychological level!

But...

Huh!

At this moment, Rukawa Kaede was no longer nervous and flustered in Nash's eyes.

Lin Dong's ball helped him absorb too much pressure and blockade, and even brought Nash, the "sticky" guy, one and a half steps away. The opportunity was completely out!

A wonderful pass from Lin Dong, a quick three-pointer from Rukawa Kaede.

This is the new combination of the Supersonics!

Rukawa jumped up without hesitation. The moment he stood up, all the previous worries, concerns and fears disappeared. What filled Rukawa's mind at this moment were scenes of the past.

His NBA dream started at the Nike Summit in Seattle that summer.

——Rukawa, do you know what a zone is?

——Hehe, Lakeside High School, where did Lin Dong go? Rukawa, you picked a good place. I know some famous friends in Seattle. I'll ask them to write a recommendation letter for you.

——It was Lao Pei and Gao Ren who asked me to perform worse on purpose, not on purpose for you...Brother, opportunities are given by people, but you have to rely on yourself to grasp them!

——Damn, he dared to fight back...Hold his hand for me!

——What a shitty Bobcat, come to our Supersonics, I am a major shareholder after all, don't worry! I'll protect you!

——As the owner of a team, since I have signed their future, I must also be responsible for their health and life!

——Hahaha, Fox, your defense was scolded? Do you want to learn? I'll teach you!

——Sakuragi's offense is not good, the effect of your sparring is very average... Practice with me Rukawa, I just need two sparring partners.

——Fox, you will start tomorrow? Hahaha! No need to thank me, this is what you fought for, I will cheer for you with Haruko in front of the TV!

——Rukawa, congratulations! Don't compare yourself with others anymore, you are you, basketball should be happy and pure, and should not be a burden to you! It is my greatest happiness to see you and Sakuragi standing on the NBA court, and you...you must also learn to enjoy basketball and find your own happiness on the court!

The memories in my mind are frozen at the last moment of the call with Coach Anzai last night.

And when Coach Anzai's voice stopped in my mind, the whole world suddenly became quiet.

The noise around the stadium, Nash's fierce block in front, and everything else, all disappeared completely in Rukawa's world.

Zone?

However, he was not completely excited now. Instead, he felt extremely calm, which seemed to be contrary to the need to open the zone. How could he enter the zone?

He really couldn't feel the extreme excitement. On the contrary, what lingered in his mind at this moment were the four characters of Ning, Shen, Jing, and Yi.

The four-character Zhen Jue taught by the master in the Asama Shrine filled Rukawa Kaede's mind at this moment, making him feel that he was in a state of tranquility.

But is "quiet" really "quiet"?

There is a saying that goes, if there is no darkness, then the light is meaningless; if there is no bitterness, sweetness is tasteless.

And the ultimate quietness is to let you experience every bit of excitement in your body!

Only when you are extremely quiet, these excitements will seem precious.

This is a kind of balance, the peak of the second gear zone!

The master's four-character Zhen Jue reflects the most real desire and appeal in the heart, and when entering this step, the whole world left in Rukawa Kaede's consciousness is only the basket in front of him.

The balance and control of the body are better than ever before. The left hand holding the ball is extremely stable, and the right hand pushing is extremely soft.

When he pushed the basketball forward, the familiar delicate feeling and feedback from the broken finger finally made Rukawa Kaede smile.

The ball was just shot, and the man was still in the air, but he had already clenched his fist.

Swish!

The basketball went into the net, 12:5, the Supersonics broke the scoring drought!
