Chapter 20 You, dunk!
Trail Blazers coach Caleb Canales could no longer bear it and replaced the two pseudo-inside lines, Dante Cunningham and Ksri Johnson, while taking advantage of the dead ball.
You are so scared, why do you want to fight NBA? Isn’t it good to fight wnBA?
This did not affect Tu Man's continued performance. He had already played the game instead of training, and began to gradually move away from the basket, trying new positions and distances. It doesn't matter whether there is anyone in the three-second area or who is guarding it.
However, to ensure that the hook hits, you must have a good sense of position and balance, and when the ball is shot, you also need to maintain a stable posture and soft wrists.
But now Tu Man is always in double-teaming, squeezing and pushing are inevitable, and these conditions have become harsh, and he deliberately stays away from the basket and his shooting range has increased.
The hit rate began to drop.
Now everyone can see that Tu Man used the "big sky hook" of Jabbar, who has been lost to the NBA for a long time.
Its signature move is different from ordinary hook shots, which is to straighten the ball with your arms and lift the ball high above your head, and then use the strength of your wrist to push the ball out. Other hook shots are to throw the ball out with a little inertia when raising the basketball.
This is a very difficult move to master, which tests the strength and flexibility of the wrist. Over the years, excellent big men like O'Neal, Duncan and Big Ben's wrists have been cursed. They can't even practice free throws, so how could they try this hell-level skill?
Therefore, in today's NBA alliance, "Tian Gou" is almost extinct.
Jabbar didn't actually have a teacher back then. His hooking skills were first learned from earlier superstar center George McCann, and also incorporated the shooting essence of another Hall of Fame player Cliff Hagen.
During his twenty-year career, Jabbar has been constantly exploring and improving his hooking skills. After confronting countless big players, "Tian Gou" gradually took shape, and he also used this trick to beat all his opponents.
The biggest advantage of "Tian Gou" is that it cannot be blocked. Jabbar's career has faced ancient monsters such as Zhang 20,000 and Lord of the Rings, which shocked the past and present, but he scored more than 30,000 points, but he left a legend that was only blocked five times.
Imagine a 2.18-meter center forward who needs to jump first and straighten his arms, and then dial the ball out when he reaches the highest point. Such a shooting point has far exceeded the bounce limit of most defenders. How can he block it?
But the disadvantage of "Tian Gou" is also very obvious. As Tu Man said, among many offensive methods, the dunk hit rate is the closest to 100%.
Jabbar's career shooting percentage was 55.9%, and his shooting percentage exceeded 60% in just one season. In contrast, O'Neal, who prefers to attack the basket, has a shooting percentage of 58.2% in his career, and has a shooting percentage of more than 60% in four seasons.
More importantly, "Tian Gou" has no added value, this is an offensive method of "avoiding and playing", and it is almost impossible to kill the opponent's inside line as frequently as dunks!
From this point of view, it becomes understandable that the inside giant beasts do not practice "Tian Gate".
With a good physique that is gifted by heaven and has a similar hit rate, why not dunk in the sky and earth and make the opponent's inside line cry, but instead practice "hooking" to death?
Not only did O'Neal and the others like it, but Tu Man also didn't like it either. Although he could imitate Jabbar to the point of being fake, he never used "Tian Gou" in the official NCAA game!
He prefers simple and crude offensive methods, head-on, violent and straightforward, and he wishes he would carry one or two defenders and hit him 21 every time he attacked!
Tu Man doesn’t like it, but Lao Tu likes it. He is a fan of Kareem.
Father's love is like a mountain. From the day Tu Man came into contact with basketball, "Tian Gou" and fixed-point shooting have become his compulsory courses for him regardless of wind and rain. If he doesn't practice thousands or eight hundred times a day, he will not want to eat!
Muscle memory replaces conventional thinking, Tu Man gradually entered the state of training, forgetting everything and being focused on his mind, he has no expression on his face, silently running, silently jumping, silently showing his "Tian Gou" skill...
Everyone saw that he was not happy to play, and the atmosphere on the Suns' court was very depressing, even though their lead was gradually expanding and they were almost sure to win.
The sun is suppressed, where is the Trail Blazers?
As McMillan's chief assistant coach, Caleb Canales, who led the team alone, made great efforts to win a championship in the summer league, at least he could get a bonus, right?
Now it seems that everything is ready, only...
Tu Man disagrees!
If he becomes the silent Jabbar II on the offensive end, then on the defensive end, he is the fierce and brutal Tuman version 2.0...
He rushed to every rebound frantically, wandering tirelessly in the paint area. Under a pair of big cactus, the Trail Blazers players were even dissatisfied with it. He also flew outside the three-point line from time to time to attack those shooters!
Before the third quarter was finished, Tu Man slapped ten big hats on the head of the weak Portlander and claimed eight fouls...
The Portland Trail Blazers collapsed across the board, and even Luke Babbitt, who had the iron-headed head, had his eyes scattered and his calves trembled. He had been hated four times, and finally crawled under the whip of reality and transformed into a pure shooter.
Caleb Canales was almost crying:
Mr. Tuman, you are in a bad mood. Can you quit a basket and vent?
Holding it in such a way is not conducive to physical and mental health!
Of course, it's because others are unhealthy...
Tu Man did not hurt anyone. He made eight fouls because of the blocking thugs. Sometimes the distance to make up for defense is too far. Even if he bounces abnormally, the height when flying over is unsatisfactory, and the blocking is not so clean and neat.
Despite this, the Trail Blazers players have had enough, too enough!
So far, their team has only shot 58 times, and 18 of them have been ruined by Tu Man's hands...
This is a devil!
The commentary seat has been dull for a long time, and the atmosphere in the stadium is also sleepy. Except for the fans of the Casino who raised their heads and shouted when they blocked the shot, they were also watching the news that the Spanish men's football team won the championship at other times.
Sitting in the basketball arena to watch the Football World Cup?
This shows how ugly this game is!
The commentator lay weakly on the table, holding the microphone, and made his nth futile appeal:
"Tu Man, please, at least you can dunk a basket!"
Tu Man didn't detain it. He once again rose slowly like a launch vehicle, reaching the predetermined orbital height, and Shi Ran released the satellite...
"Swish!"
The 31st "Tian Gou" performance, the 18th hit.
The sun's bench was lamenting, like the Xiulou girl, they were waving white towel weakly, with their eyes extremely resentful:
Chapter completed!
