Chapter 511 Unsolvable Supersonic Speed
——Wow!
——Oh! God, what did I see? That's Kobe Bryant, one of the best attackers in the league!
——Hahahaha! The rebounding champion of the Supersonics! The defensive champion!
——Sakuragi! Sakuragi! Sakuragi! Sakuragi!
The cheers from the whole stadium shook the arena, and many people in faraway Japan cried bitterly.
Not to mention that Sakuragi Hanamichi himself has no confidence. In fact, few people in Japan have the confidence to say that Sakuragi Hanamichi is the core of the Supersonics. Even in Japan, no one dares to rank Sakuragi Hanamichi as the second. Everyone assumes that the soul of the Supersonics is Lin Dong and the core is Payton. Sakuragi Hanamichi is at most the third in command.
But now, Kobe Bryant, who even Lin Dong couldn't limit, was directly blocked by Sakuragi Hanamichi!
——The strongest defender!
——The strongest red-haired devil with 7 billion! The light of Japanese basketball!
Countless second-year shouts resounded in every corner of Japan. At this moment, even the Dragon Country fans who have always disliked Japanese players the most couldn't help but applaud Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Everyone felt a surge of blood.
The strongest spear Lin Dong, the strongest shield Sakuragi Hanamichi, who else can beat such a supersonic!
The noisy scene, the exciting world, but the game is not over yet...
The ball of the supersonics.
The two consecutive mistakes just now obviously hit Kobe to a certain extent. There was an obvious loophole in defense. Lin Dong shook it off in one step. A simple quick stop jump shot outside the three-point line almost shook Kobe to the ground.
79:74!
The Lakers' ball.
Kobe didn't rush to ask for the ball this time. It wasn't because the two mistakes made him lose the desire and confidence to attack when facing Sakuragi Hanamichi.
But he could feel that he was a little out of shape now, and he needed to re-evaluate the defensive skills of the No. 10 in front of him. At this time, blindly betting on the balloon was obviously not a wise choice.
The ball was in Nash's hands.
Thanks to Lin Dong's defensive strategy against Nash, he didn't block him from receiving the ball.
But...
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Lin Dong's eyes.
Sakuragi had completed his most important task, and he couldn't lose.
Never let Nash pass the midfield!
Compared with Payton or Rukawa who defended Nash before, Lin Dong had the advantages of height, wingspan and speed over the former, and more all-round coverage than the latter. His defensive strategy was never to rush in, neither to try to cut the ball nor to be aggressive. After all, with Nash's ball control skills, the success rate of rash shots was very low, and it was easy for Nash to catch him and get out of the space because of his recklessness.
But if it was just blocking...
He had almost the same agility and starting speed as Nash, who was 191 cm tall, but had stronger explosive power than him, had a wingspan that was nearly 20 cm longer than him, and had complete action prediction, psychological advantages, and aura advantages... With this absolute restraint, his defense against Nash would be much better than Sakuragi's defense against Nash.
Even the pressure of the 8-second pass violation will only be given to Nash, and in the current Sonics' extreme man-to-man tactics, no one from the Lakers can even come forward to support him.
If even this can't stop Nash, then Lin Dong feels that he may need to re-evaluate his defensive ability.
5, 4...
The excited countdown sound at the scene, obviously even the fans at the scene have seen the Sonics' tactical intention, which is to use man-to-man defense to completely block the Lakers in the second half.
Nash desperately sought a breakthrough route and tried to break out of Lin Dong's defense, but the guy's reaction was too fast. Even if he had the first-hand advantage of the attacker, the opponent's wingspan of nearly 20 centimeters longer than his completely offset this advantage.
Can't get through!
2, 1...
Nash tried to pass the ball, but his teammates were blocked, and even Kobe couldn't find a route to receive the ball for a while, let alone others.
The sudden outbreak of Sonics' defense was too meticulous, so meticulous that there was no flaw at all!
What's worse is that Nash realized that Lin Dong's blockade of him was almost all-round. His height and wingspan advantage was so great that he could even block most of his passing routes.
0!
The exciting countdown ended at the scene. Nash couldn't think any more. He jumped up with all his strength and threw the ball towards Yao Ming in the frontcourt at the moment when the referee's whistle ended.
But the next second...
Bang!
A big hand from above blocked him from the air. Not only did it hold down the basketball he was about to throw, but it even took it away the next moment!
Lin Dong!
Nash's eyes flashed with despair.
201 cm tall, 225 cm wingspan, and even had faster reaction and explosive power than him. Such static talent was simply a dimensionality reduction attack for him. There was no room and room for defense at all!
It's over!
Boom!
Huh!
The two landed almost at the same time, but Lin Dong just turned around and excluded Nash from the defensive position with the powerful force of his back.
He took three steps and rushed straight to the empty basket, and dunked it.
Boom!
81:74!
Less than 2 minutes into the third quarter, the Supersonics had already made a 10:0 climax, from trailing by 3 points to overtaking the Lakers by 7 points!
The Lakers had the ball.
At this time, the Lakers have obviously realized the terrible crisis coming from the Sonics' attack frenzy, as if they have seen the Sword of Damocles hovering above their heads!
Phil Jackson kept shouting on the sidelines to receive the ball. Yao Ming could no longer stay in the frontcourt and had to go to the backcourt to receive the ball. With his height advantage, Rukawa Kaede obviously had no chance to stop him from taking the ball. ball.
But the problem is... Rukawa Kaede can block Yao Ming from controlling the ball!
Sakuragi, Lin Dong, and everyone in the Sonics are shining brightly on the court, and they should do something, under this rainbow-like momentum!
Yao Ming's strength is undoubtedly above Rukawa Kaede. The only thing worse than Rukawa Kaede is probably the ball control.
In other words, it is not just worse than Rukawa Kaede, but Yao Ming's ball handling is probably at the bottom of the list compared to any regular player in this league.
There is no way, he has been playing the center position since he came into contact with basketball, and the training model in China is completely different from that in the United States. Although Yao Ming's basic skills are not bad, it depends on who he is competing with, especially in terms of ball control... Expecting a 226-centimeter center to control the ball and organize the entire court without the defender being out of position is a rude request in itself.
As soon as Dayao passed the center line with the ball, he was blocked by Rukawa Kaede. He was too tall, and his center of gravity could not be pressed down. The frequency of hitting the ball was too low, and the path he took to control the ball was too long and too high. But what he had to face every day was Follow Sakuragi Hanamichi to defend Lin Dong, and learn from Sakuragi Hanamichi's aggressive defense.
Just two tentative hands, Yao Ming had to choose to pick up the ball, not daring to make any more moves.
But when he tried to use himself as a relay to pass the ball, he found that the Lakers had almost no points where he could catch the ball.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Lin Dong are in the process of blocking Kobe and Nash, and the latter two themselves are in a state of being beaten and confused. Now they can't get rid of it at all. Doug Christie faces younger and faster , Iguodala, whose defensive skills are not weak, is also unable to escape.
The SuperSonics are on the rise, but the Lakers are at the bottom!
Yao Ming had no choice but to choose a super long shot. Firstly, he had no choice but to try his luck. Secondly, he felt that Odom would not suffer a disadvantage against Chandler under the basket, and he could also count on rebounds and a second offense.
But can anyone do the job of super long-range shooting...
Dayao's shooting touch is soft enough, but it does not mean that he has a long range. The ball actually missed the shot and was directly 'thrown' into Chandler's arms, allowing Odom to touch it repeatedly. No chance at all.
Chandler made a long lob and went straight to Lin Dong. The arrival of the Supersonic counterattack also heralded the occurrence of a tragedy.
When the league's famous colander who "cannot keep" faces the league's famous "Lin Bijin", the god of basketball, the result can be imagined.
A fake action of catching the ball and shooting from outside the 3-point line made Nash jump with his heart in his throat.
He couldn't help but jump. Facing Lin Dong, except for taking off at the extreme limit in advance, Nash could not cause any other interference to his shooting.
But after jumping up, what Nash saw was Lin Dong's calm face. He kept his shooting posture motionless, as if a pause button had been pressed on the shooting action, until Nash started to fall, Lin Dongcai jumped up steadily.
Of course, you have to shoot a 3-pointer. If you hit Nash and shoot a 3-pointer, what is the difference between this and being open? What's more, Sakuragi Hanamichi is already rushing towards the basket. Even if something happens, he will still have the rebounding title!
Uh-huh!
3 points scored, 84:74, SuperSonics lead by 10 points!
The Lakers have the ball.
Facing the Sonics' undiminished man-to-man defense, the Lakers still relied on Yao Ming to pick up the ball, but this time they were much more cautious than last time.
No matter how much the Lakers want to play rhythm and run-and-gun fast breaks, the momentum has been suppressed now, and it is undoubtedly a dream to think about it again. The current goal is to quickly score two goals and stabilize the rhythm.
Yao Ming controlled the rhythm, and after receiving the ball in the middle line, he turned around and hit Rukawa Kaede. While he did not dare to throw anymore, he was waiting for other Lakers teammates to respond. At the same time, he also made up his mind. If it didn't work, then A back hit pushed Rukawa Kaede to the inside from the center line! Suppress the rhythm but also ensure the hit rate.
But it turns out... once you are forced by your opponent to change your playing style, the ball has already been lost.
When Rukawa Kaede made a hasty shot, seemingly revealing a flaw that allowed Yao Ming to turn around and break through, Lin Dong's steal arrived and Dayao made another mistake.
Lin Dong passed the ball to Sakuragi, but Sakuragi couldn't attack against Kobe's defense. His strongest strength was defense. After all, he lacked some talent and intuition on the offensive end, but he assisted the player who just ran from the backcourt. Rukawa maple.
Dayao, who was supposed to defend Rukawa Kaede, obviously failed to keep up with the opponent's speed, leaving a 3-point gap.
Uh-huh!
Come in too!
87:74.
Looking at the constantly beating numbers on the electronic scoreboard and the rapidly opening score.
13 points... From leading by 3 points to falling behind by 13 points, the Lakers actually took less than 3 minutes.
Phil Jackson on the sidelines was suddenly stunned, and the players on the court were stunned.
Phil Knight frowned in the VIP room, Doris supported the Lakers in the ABC live broadcast room, the coaches, players, owners in the league who were looking forward to the Sonics losing, and even the United States who were in a state of carnival just a few minutes ago The fans were all stunned at this time.
this……
Such a powerful Lakers, such a mercury-like offense!
Kobe Bryant, who broke through himself.
Yao Ming, who has always been underestimated because he has never won a championship, is actually already one of the top three centers in the league.
Nash, the pass master who showed his absolute organizational talent after joining the Lakers.
Odom, the All-Star player who is known as the most versatile player in the league and can play from the 1st position to the 5th position.
And Doug Christie, who has just joined but quickly integrated into the team and has also entered the league's first defense.
Such a super team is rated as the top in every position and is considered the only choice to beat the Supersonics.
But now...
We are going to lose? !
