Chapter 449 Three Consecutive Championships, Here We Come!

Maddie was taken aback.

The opponent passed the ball too simply, and it was extremely confusing.

Fake action?

No, this is definitely not a simple fake move. How could an ordinary fake move hide his defensive instinct?

This is a real action that combines real and fake.

When he started to shake his shoulders from side to side, whether to move left or right, it was a choice he could make at any time. This guy had controlled his center of gravity to a state where he could completely control his heart.

If the defender chooses to keep his center of gravity still, he can easily seize the opportunity no matter whether he goes left or right. If the defender chooses to shift his center of gravity, no matter which side you choose to defend, Lin Dong can complete the attack on the other side in an instant. breakthrough.

McGrady should be grateful that he can understand the power of this step, because only when you are strong enough, when you have begun to touch the threshold of the peak, can you understand the mystery contained in this simple step.

Otherwise, if an ordinary expert looks at it, he may just think that this is an ordinary fake move.

But McGrady also felt sad.

Frankly speaking, he would rather not understand...

Because you can't understand it, you won't be so desperate, because if you can't understand it, it means that you haven't invested much at least.

But when you are committed, when you try your best to complete the first transcendence, you find that the other party is not waiting for you at all, but has already run to an extreme distance where you can't see his back.

That kind of despair after everything you have given has been fed to the dog, which is enough to destroy a person's all confidence in an instant.

It's just a seemingly simple step of shaking one's shoulders.

However, there is no solution!

boom!

McGrady didn't even chase him. He watched as Lin Dong rushed to the basket with the ball, then jumped high towards the basket and Antawn Jamison, ignited the arena with a powerful and heavy dunk, and opened the door. The prelude to the 2004 season.

2:0, SuperSonics lead!

Amid cheers from the entire arena, the ball came into the hands of the Wizards.

The sudden blow and loss of self-confidence made McGrady obviously a little out of shape. His mind was still immersed in the details of Lin Dong's terrible passing action just now, and he couldn't extricate himself. That may be a state that he would never reach in his life.

Facing Lin Dong's defense at this time, McGrady couldn't help but feel that it was 'hard to face' in his heart.

but……

A three-point pull-up after a sudden stop.

Lin Dong is not a real god, not to mention that it is only the regular season and the first goal in the first game. It is impossible to directly improve his defense to 100%.

McGrady's hard training throughout the offseason has indeed brought his speed to an extreme. Even in his current poor condition, this pull-up is extremely crisp and clean, and it is three meters away. The shot was taken about two steps outside the point line, and the distance of the shot was somewhat beyond Lin Dong's expectations, allowing him to hit the ball without any hindrance.

In training, McGrady can say that he is 99% sure of such a shot. Even if there is an extra defender in front of him, he still has enough confidence and certainty to make a steady shot without looking at the frame.

But it was Lin Dong who defended him...

Even though Lin Dong didn't take off at all because of his lax defense, as long as Lin Dong stood in front of him, McGrady couldn't help but think of the horrific details of what happened just now, and it made him feel like there was a huge mountain standing in front of him.

Will he jump? Could he jump higher than himself? Will the ball be blocked?

Ah, he didn't jump up. Is there some conspiracy? Does he think he can't make a shot? Was he careless? He hasn't gone into defensive mode yet? Or did he not want to take himself too seriously during the regular season and deliberately gave himself a little slack?

When a pitcher can produce so much inner drama without even making a move against the defender, the outcome of the ball is already determined without even looking at it.

Bang!

The basketball bounced off the rim, making McGrady's heart feel like it was falling into an ice cellar.

But fortunately, the Wizards still have O'Neal!

O'Neal was already in position under the basket, and Chandler, who was facing him, was firmly stuck behind him, unable to move at all.

But at this time, there was no anxious look on Chandler's face.

Although he has fully recovered, compared to O'Neal, if Chandler wants to compete and win in terms of strength, he will probably have to wait until the next life, let alone undergo a weight loss.

His current position in the Sonics is actually more of a flexible power forward. With the Sonics' run-and-gun lineup, he can eat the cake on the offensive end, and he can also cooperate with Sakuragi on the defensive end to get rebounds. One of the two-man combination in the run-and-gun lineup that ensures stability in the paint.

Facing a heavy center like O'Neal, all he has to do is complete the struggle.

What is an inside duo? That's a shield axeman.

He is just the shield in this card, responsible for resisting surface damage and attracting the enemy's attention in a large area.

And the real axe-wielding killer is another person!

At this time, the basketball bounced up and flew towards the two of them.

"Mine!" O'Neal roared, and sat back suddenly, forcing Chandler's squeezing and resisting body to push back, and then jumped up.

But the next second...

call!

Taking advantage of O'Neal's opportunity to squeeze through Chandler and prepare to take off, a figure jumped up beside O'Neal at lightning speed.

Jump earlier than O'Neal, jump faster than O'Neal, and even jump higher than O'Neal!

He has red hair, is 209 centimeters tall, and weighs 112 kilograms. His streamlined muscles make this red-haired guy look like a running cheetah. His whole body is stretched to the extreme, so much so that the highest point when he grabbed the rebound was actually He is more than fifteen centimeters taller than O'Neal!

Supersonics No. 10 - Sakuragi Hanamichi!

Snapped!

The basketball reached Sakuragi's hands, and O'Neal's two fat hands grabbed it in the air.

"Wow hahaha!" Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had just gotten married, had confidence and excitement written all over his face.

Lin Dong completed his return to his original nature by getting married, and this guy also completed the most important transformation in his life by starting a family with Qingzi, which made him full of energy and confidence every day, and even made him feel as if he was always full of energy. Full of endless energy and fighting spirit.

Boom!

Sakuragi and the surprised O'Neal landed at the same time.

"Brother Takato!" Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted. Lin Dongze in front was already running and even rushed into the front three-point line, as if he was in no one's land.

"Show me off!"

Sakuragi rounded his arms and made a long pass from all over the court. The basketball was pointed directly at the opposite basket.

I saw that the basketball was extremely high and fast at this time, and it went straight to the top of the basket.

The whole audience suddenly exclaimed.

"Oops!" Sakuragi also subconsciously gasped. This throw seemed to be a bit too high.

Lin Dong was also dumbfounded and cursed secretly, but looking at the high and fast pass, a sense of challenge suddenly rose in his heart.

Bang!

With one step, Lin Dong jumped up high.

The combination of yin and yang does not mean that the edge is no longer sharp, but that the edge is hidden in gentleness to make you unpredictable.

But when it is really needed...this hidden explosion will come more violently and powerfully than ever.

Snapped!

Lin Dong stretched to the extreme at this time, making people feel that his big hand could almost touch the upper edge, and he actually steadily caught this incredible high-altitude ball.

The entire arena suddenly became quiet at this moment, and even McGrady, who was running up after Lin Dong, stopped involuntarily and looked at the man in front of him with his mouth wide open as if he was flying.

boom!

An alley-oop dunk, extremely stretched and smooth!

The basketball hit the frame like a cannonball.

O'Neal was stunned, so was McGrady, and the entire arena was stunned.

Sakuragi actually easily grabbed the rebound over O'Neal. How could the combination of Chandler and Sakuragi beat O'Neal so easily?

And even more terrifying is Lin Dong.

This, such a ball can also be lobbed? How high did Lin Dong jump just now? If you have to jump with all your strength, you might be able to pick off the coin placed on the top edge of the backboard, right?

"Wow, hahaha! Did you see that I didn't pass the ball high at all? It wasn't a mistake! I knew Takato-san could catch it, so I deliberately passed it so high! It's more entertaining this way!" Sakuragi Hanamichi said proudly, haha Laughed loudly.

After a brief silence in the arena, cheers shook the roof.

--Forest! Forest! Forest! Forest!

--cherry! cherry! cherry! cherry!

………………

At 116:95, the SuperSonics won a big victory in the first game, completely extinguishing the hopes of countless fans who were looking forward to the "Oh Buy Kar" combination.

McGrady was completely unable to guard against Lin Dong on the defensive end, but he struggled on the offensive end. He made 5 of 14 shots from the field and only scored an embarrassing 14 points.

O'Neal struggled under the combination of Chandler and Sakuragi. On the one hand, he was not adaptable, and on the other hand, he was oppressed by the team's overall momentum. He made 11 of 19 shots and only scored 27 points and 13 rebounds.

This data is actually not weak, an absolute All-Star performance, but if you look at it combined with O'Neal's dominance at the basket, as well as his shooting percentage, ball possession, etc. in this game, this report card is obviously It can only be regarded as a passing grade.

Looking at the opponent's inside line, Chandler made 4 of 7 shots and scored 9 points and 7 rebounds. For a guy who had just returned from a serious injury and facing O'Neal, it was obviously a pretty good performance.

Sakuragi Hanamichi relied on Chandler's control to grab 17 rebounds above O'Neal! He also made 4 of 5 shots and scored 10 points with two free throws.

Looking at the shooting percentage and ball possession, Sakuragi's performance and plus-minus value have surpassed O'Neal, becoming the key insider to determine the victory in this game.

Lin Dong only played 3 minutes in the fourth quarter. He took 19 shots and made 16 of 19 shots. He scored an extremely efficient 42 points. Compared with the crazy scoring in the previous two seasons, it seemed that he scored less in this game. He made a lot of mistakes, but he sent out a full 16 assists, helping five SuperSonics players score in double figures.

The data has been reduced, but everyone who knows football can see that Lin Dong is playing much more freely and easily than last season.

Maybe this is just 80% of his state, or even 70%?

No one knows the exact answer, but there is no doubt that this guy is definitely stronger than before!

As for Payton, whose status was widely questioned before the game...

--Forest! Forest! Forest! Forest!

--cherry! cherry! cherry! cherry!

——God! God! God!

The cheers from the audience seemed to exclude Payton from the God group.

But Payton just shrugged indifferently.

Are you getting old? Can't do it yourself?

I only played 18 minutes in this game and scored 4 points, 3 assists and 1 steal. It seems that I have indeed declined a bit, but...

Damn it, so what.

Don’t you get the maximum salary?

Isn’t the team still winning?

Isn’t the God combination still unbeatable?

Those idiots just say the grapes are sour. In this case, I don’t need to take action at all, okay?

Don't tell me that I have nothing to do. This old guy with a maximum salary is standing next to me, applauding the two little guys and shouting 666.

The top-paid players shouted 666 to them nearby. What a huge boost to their confidence and morale? What an honorable treatment this is?

This is spiritual support, I am still very important, right?

God combination! It’s so invincible!

To break Jordan's three consecutive championships, I will also win three consecutive championships this year, and use a gorgeous championship to shut up all those guys who say they are old.

Three consecutive championships, here we come!
