Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Stone Buddha Fights the Wolf King
With a whistle, two figures rose into the sky, and both Duncan and Garnett stretched their arms as far as they could, heading towards the scouts in mid-air.
The last time the two competed together was more than a year ago, and because of Garnett's injury and Duncan's occasional rest, the last matchup basically didn't leave much impression. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this aerial duel between the two, Garnett took the lead in taking the ball away from the air with his long arms by virtue of his remaining advantage in bounce power.
"Hey, Tim, you still can't jump me." Garnett complained to Duncan after landing, but Duncan didn't speak, just quickly followed Garnett and ran to his defensive position.
The Celtics' advance is still very fast, and although Rondo's offense is not good, it has to be said that he is a good organizer.
Garnett quickly asked for a position on the inside, and behind him, Duncan was ready.
Although Rondo has grown up now, he is no longer the little brother who followed behind the "Big Three" back then, but the residual power of the big brother is still there, and he doesn't dare not give the ball.
One hit the ball, dodging Parker's steal, and the ball went to Garnett.
Duncan crouched down a little, one hand on Garnett's waist, feeling Garnett's strength and direction of movement, and the other hand held high, putting as much pressure on Garnett as he could.
Garnett holds the ball with his back to his back, holds the ball in front of his chest with both hands, straightens his waist behind him, and his body is a bit like a reverse bow, while his shoulders keep swaying from side to side.
They are all old opponents for more than ten years, and they know everything about each other, and these feints are actually not of much use, just like going through the motions.
Duncan didn't take the slightest hint of Garnett's feints, just quietly waited for his next move.
Garnett also knew that this move was useless to Duncan, so he no longer hesitated, and directly hit him with his back.
The left shoulder sank, the right hand slammed into the ball, and Garnett slammed into Duncan with the left side of his body!
"Peng", a muffled sound between muscles came, and the two of them made a physical contact fiercely, but neither of them moved.
Even if Garnett is really at his peak, his strength can only be said to be good, far inferior to that pure muscle stick, but he dares to fight, can fight, is willing to fight hard, and gives people a sense of strength at will.
As for Duncan, don't look at the muscle lines of his body are not obvious, but the strength of his body is not covered, I didn't see the original piston, except for the big book, no one can withstand Duncan's back beating.
So if Garnett relied on strength, he would definitely not be able to break Duncan head-on.
Garnett certainly understands that, but his crash represents an attitude that I can lose to anyone, and I don't want to lose to you. Every time he meets Duncan, Garnett plays 100 percent.
If I can't bump you once, I'll bump you a few more times! Once the wolf king made up his mind, it was really unstoppable, only to see Garnett muster up his strength, and his body "bang" hit backwards three times in a row.
Each impact was hit again when the old force had not retreated, and Duncan finally did not resist under the continuous superposition of forces, and took a step back.
This is the time to wait! Garnett felt space behind him and no longer hesitated. Directly with the right foot as the axis, the whole person with the ball in both hands turned to the right sharply, and then jumped directly with both feet on the ground, and directly put his hands in the posture of shooting!
A flip back jumper close to the baseline! This is one of Garnett's signature stunts.
Duncan knew it was bad when he stepped back, and that's when he reacted most correctly, not to seal Garnett's eyes, but to jump up and prepare to block the ball.
There are several reasons why Garnett's move is not easy to defend: first, he is tall and has long arms, good bounce, and difficult to shoot jumpers.
Second, his move is not only a jump shot, but also a backward jump shot, and the eyes are basically unsealable.
Third, he made this move late, and Garnett's air was also very powerful, basically waiting until the opponent landed before he began to fall, and then he made a move, and he had a clear view in front of him.
Therefore, even if someone stretches out their arms and jumps with Garnett, they will land before he can shoot, and they will not be able to prevent this ball at all.
But Duncan is not an ordinary person, as Garnett's opponent for more than ten years, he has some experience with this trick, that is, if Garnett has already jumped, then he will jump vertically a little later, and cover it directly before the ball rises to the highest point!
It sounds easy, but it's actually the right timing to be the most important thing, after all, the right to shoot is on the attacking side, and people who don't know enough about Garnett don't know when he's going to shoot, let alone block.
Just like this ball, even Duncan didn't guess the timing of Garnett's shot, and the basketball swept past his fingers by a fraction of a second, and plunged into the basket with a beautiful net.
“Good!” Garnett excitedly thumped his chest with his right hand, and was able to score in the first attack, and it seems that the momentum is good today!
Duncan didn't say much, it's normal, he has done everything he can just now, and it is Garnett's ability to get in.
He silently served the ball, then ran quickly to the front without saying a word.
Parker is also very level, dribbling the ball at the three-point line and hanging directly to Duncan, this kind of hanging ball is too high, Rondo can't grab it at all, and Duncan is also very comfortable.
With his back to Garnett, Duncan also held the ball in both hands, but he was not strong, but slowly straightened up and leaned behind him.
Garnett originally wanted to use his body to suppress Duncan, but Duncan's strength was greater than him, and Garnett found that he couldn't hold it down, so he had no choice but to give up this tactic and take a small step back to wait for Duncan.
At this time, Duncan suddenly used training as a support leg, and the whole person turned left to face the basket, and at the same time raised his hands high, looking like he was about to go to the basket.
Garnett didn't move at his feet, and his long left hand stretched out directly in front of the basketball, just kidding, how could such a simple feint shake himself.
If it doesn't work, then try again, still with his left foot as a supporting leg, Duncan's right foot straddles to the left, and the whole person is diagonally inserted into the gap between Garnett and the basket, and the gesture is to use his right hand backhand to make a layup.
If you don't prevent this, you can't prevent it, and if you don't prevent it, you can score the ball with feints.
Garnett was helpless, so he could only move his body to make up for his position. Of course, he could guess the next routine with his eyes closed.
Duncan once again used his left foot as a supporting leg, and made another big turn, sideways to Garnett, and then directly a hook hand, this kind of ball can't be guarded, Garnett can only watch, and the basketball is naturally obediently played into the basket.
Basic skills, basic skills, Duncan just used the most basic steps and a hook hand under the basket, and he was able to score goals under Garnett's strong defensive pressure, this is the effect of practicing the basic skills to the realm of perfection!
Duncan's expression after the goal was on his face, and after glancing at Garnett, he turned back to defend directly, as if this matter should be taken for granted.
The moment the two staggered, time seemed to stand still, more than ten years ago, when they were young, they were like this, you come and go, and you don't let each other go.
Qin Yan was on the side, as if he had seen the picture he had seen on TV before:
