Defending champion

Chapter 358
1Chapter 17 Revenge that can be avenged today will never last overnight
After Lawson dribbled the ball through the half court, after breaking through, the ball was handed over to Peja Stovich, who had already ambushed in the bottom corner.

On the point of Peja Stockovic, it can be seen that the Bulls have arranged a special defense against Peja before the game.

After Peja Stockovic received the ball, he just dribbled it, and immediately had to pass it back to Mason's hands.

Although this is the first time that Mason has been mentioned as the starting point guard position, Mason has shown his wide passing vision.

Mason didn't catch the ball at the moment the basketball was pulled over, and directly slapped the basketball hard with his right hand to make it hit the ground directly past the marking Hinrich. Such a penetrating pass directly tore the Bulls The entire line of defense that the team thinks is indestructible.

When the Bulls players reacted, the entire restricted area was empty like a no-man's land. They had no time to return to the defense and saw the tall figure stretched out with both hands after receiving the pass to the ground. The basketball is poured into the hoop.

When Mason was catching the ball, Jack and Mason made eye contact, Jack understood, and a withdrawal seemed like an outside player running.

The next second after the defensive Ben Wallace followed, Jack ran in the opposite direction with a whoosh and went straight into the Bulls' center.

Jack's height plus weight plus the inertia brought by fast running, this two-handed slam dunk made the entire basketball hoop tremble.

After landing, Jack thumped his chest hard and roared, which was a kind of vent. At the same time, it was more of a message that Jack sent to the Bulls players-I want to win.

Seeing Jack's demonstrative celebration, Ben Wallace's face turned a liver color.

"Oh, what a situation. An incredible shot."

The narrator yelled.Shocked:

"It's crazy. At the beginning of the game, Jack made a dunk! No one could have imagined it!"

Yes, there was a sound of consternation throughout the United Center, and the audience was stunned
territory.

"It's so fucking beautiful!"

Mason laughed loudly, ran over and clapped Jack's hands, and said with a smile:

"You're such a bomber!"

Jack smiled, and said to Peja who was also coming, "I'm still a shooter, more accurate than you!"

Peja smiled lewdly and said:

"I know, the girls in New Orleans practice marksmanship for you every day. It's unreasonable. I'm also practicing recently!"

……

Although he was very angry at Jack's provocation, Big Ben's years of experience told him how to play. The other players of the Bulls were obviously not affected by the ball just now, and the Bulls' style of play remained the same. Create the best shot opportunity.

Ben Gordon ran out from the inside to catch the ball in a circle. Facing Butler's defense, Gordon was not easy. After all, Butler's strong physical fitness was there.

Ben Gordon pretended to jump when he received the ball, and made a move. Although this fake action did not make Butler completely lose his defensive position, perhaps Gordon's convulsions were too famous, and Butler had to defend, but Butler still jumped up. Gordon took the opportunity to speed up and rushed into the inside line like a whirlwind.

Seeing Jack standing under the basket, Gordon thought of his motor oil Okafor, and instantly changed his style of play, giving up the eye-catching dunk and making a standard pull-up jumper in the penalty area, showing his powerful singles ability.

Ben Gordon pulled up directly from the ground, made an emergency stop at mid-range and made a shot, and the ball scored.

Ben Gordon showed people his powerful individual singles ability.

In the first round between the Hornets and the Bulls, the two sides drew a tie!
Hornets offense!

Today, Jack, who is in the position of center, is in the basket.

After the back-up singles Ben Wallace received the dropped basketball, Jack started to push back, and the two consecutive impacts won him the space to turn around, and directly used his footsteps to wipe Wallace's bottom line.

"Don't think about it!"

Big Ben is old now, but the broken ship still has three catties of nails, and its strength is still there. It quickly blocked the direction of Jack's progress, and Thales Thomas also double-teamed from the side. The two tried to trap Jack at the bottom line.

"shit!"

Seeing that Thomas was eager for quick success, Skiles next to him couldn't help but swear.At the same time, the basketball was thrown from Jack's hands into the hands of Peja Stockovic like a ghost. And enter.

5-2
The pace of the game is very fast, and the hit rate between the two sides is also very high.

In less than five minutes of the opening, the score between the two sides came to 18 to 12, with the Hornets leading by 6 points.

Bulls possession of the ball!

Facing Butler's defense, Ben Gordon faked a shot, shaking the center of gravity of Butler's defense high.

Gordon took advantage of Butler's defensive gap this time and stabbed straight into the Hornets' penalty area.Rising from the ground, Gordon's rhythm control is not very good,
"boom!"

With a very soft sound, the basketball hit the rim, and then it just stayed there!
It seems that just that moment has passed, and it seems that countless centuries have passed...

The basketball slowly fell towards the outside of the basket. Looking at the trajectory of the basketball falling, everyone began to compete for positions under the basket.

And this time Big Ben finally jumped up at the first time, but the basketball was snatched from his head by a pair of big hands.

"Oh, what did I see, Big Ben was taken by Jack for the inevitable rebound, God, where did this perverted guy come from..."

The words of the ball commentary are endless, and it seems that they will never stop.

After grabbing this backcourt rebound, the Bulls players were still crazily retreating, but Jack quickly found Peja Stockovic in front of him.

A long pass across the field was delivered to Peja Stockovic in the corner of the frontcourt. After Peja Stockovic received the ball, he didn't even look at it and just shot a jumper!
The arc of the basketball is very flat, a bit like McGrady, and the basketball is easy to hit.

Skiles yelled next to the game. Daben's performance today disappointed him. Originally, Daben was regarded as a big gate for the Bulls inside. With Tyrus Thomas, who is very mobile, not to mention offense, defense ranks first in the entire league. Also ranked No. [-]. Before the game, Skiles thought that even if he could not completely limit the rebounds of Jack, a cool guy, he could be defended. Jack did nothing on the offensive end, but the reality was so cruel. Skiles While still thinking about it, Jack points again.

Jack knows that the outcome of this game lies in the control of the inside.Only when he opens up the situation can the defenders of his own side have a chance to break through or shoot. The next game will depend on who can dominate the offensive rhythm on the court between him and Big Ben.

Hornets attack!
The speed of the Bulls' retreat was very timely. The speed of the Bulls' retreat like a tide caused the Hornets' fast break plan to declare bankruptcy.

Hornets vs Bulls battle!
The Hornets' players settled down, and Jack entered the penalty area and leaned against Big Ben with his back.Reach for the Mason Ball.

After receiving the dropped basketball, Jack began to push back, and the two consecutive impacts won him the space to turn around, and directly used his footsteps to wipe Wallace's baseline.

The rest of the Bulls will have to come back immediately.Because Jack's lethality at the basket cannot be stopped by Ben Wallace.

What Jack wants is an effect like this. Jack encounters a double-team defense at the basket.

Jack threw the basketball in his hand horizontally before the encirclement circle was formed.The basketball was handed over to Butler who had cut to the basket.

After Butler received Jack's pass, he jumped up from the ground, with a loud bang, and Butler scored with a one-handed dunk.

"Shit! I missed someone! Be optimistic about your own people, and you should be optimistic about your own people!" Skiles couldn't help but swear.

This was just the beginning, and Skiles realized what a mistake he had made when he watched Jack play in the next few minutes.

Bulls possession of the ball!

Daben quickly sent the ball to Hinrich in the backcourt, and Hinrich immediately used Thomas' block to complete a long three-point shot after receiving the ball. fell into the ball frame.

Hornets possession of the ball!

Although, this is the first time in his career that Mason has served as the Hornets' starting point guard.However, his overall view and timing in the game were very good. The moment Jack opened the gap, the ball was passed directly to his hands.

With his back to Big Ben, Jack made a hook shot without any hesitation.

This shot is very skillful, Jack's hand draws a big arc, the basketball slowly flies into the basket from the top of Big Ben's head, and Big Ben has no choice but to watch the ball score with his eyes open.

Jack at the basket is a coexistence of physical fitness and technology.Moreover, Jack also has a few centimeters advantage in height.In addition, Ben Wallace is no longer young, it is impossible to prevent Jack.

Jack at the basket turned around and scored 14 points on Ben Wallace before the game ended.

Looking at Jack's retreating back, Ben Wallace's teeth were itching with anger, his face was ferocious, his fists were clenched, and all the anger came out of his nose.

Lu Erdeng's mid-range shot missed, but the rebound was still grabbed by Jack.

Hornets attack!
The Hornets still insisted on the tactical arrangement of playing from the inside, "the ball!" Jack stood firm in the weak low post, beckoning for the ball, and the defender who defended him gave Kevin a hard elbow with his elbow. It's quite hidden, even if you watch the slow-motion replay, you can talk about Daben's inertial movements at most!
You are so arrogant as a rookie, practice for a few more years!Ben Wallace thought viciously, and he let out a grinning laugh.

Since honest defense is not enough, this time, Ben Wallace decided to adopt some special defensive strategies.

This made Jack suffer a lot, and Jack wished he could turn over and the serf would sing!
How dare you fuck me!You wait for me!

Big Ben didn't know that this angered Jack.

It's a pity that Mason seemed to have convulsions with the ball, and he didn't seem to have heard Jack's request for the ball. He ran to Kevin's weak position with the ball, swayed, and ignored Hinrich's marking, pulled up his legs and rushed to the inside !

Not to mention, Hinrich thought that Mason was still passing the ball, and he was inadvertently taken advantage of by Mason.

In this way, it really opened the gap, and Mason seemed to get rid of Hinrich, who could entangle Nash.
But there is still a big Ben on the weak side. As soon as Mason breaks through, as a strong player at the basket, Ben subconsciously immediately defends the basket.

And at this time, Jack saw the basketball passed from the narrow space between the two of them, and it happened to be in his hands without bias.

Jack really didn't pay attention, he thought that Mason would come by himself today, and it was too late to hesitate, and Da Ben hurriedly retreated after reacting, and got stuck behind Jack again.

"Jack, why are you so weak!"

Mason is a young man who hasn't lost his youthful enthusiasm yet, clutching his forehead with a very depressed expression on his face, he wasted the space created by his hard work to break through.

He turned around and ran out of the penalty area, and was about to return to the outside organization, when he saw Jack plucking onions on dry ground, his sturdy figure leaned back violently, and came into the air, and Big Ben Wallace was shot like in a TV series Drift out like the villains in the game, and slide out backwards on the floor.

Jack in the air turned halfway, grabbed the orange-red basketball with his left hand, his arm muscles bulged, and then made a brilliant pull-bar movement, avoiding Taylor Thomas who was attacking from the weak side.

"Bang!"

Half-turned one-arm pull bar dunk!
"Oh……"

The entire arena was full of exclamation, and the players on the Hornets' bench jumped up. David West, who had returned to the bench to rest, was the most excited, dancing and waving his fists and claws, while Byron Scott His face was reddish, and he seemed to have reached a certain state of exhilaration

.

"Hey, Mason, don't bother, just throw it into the sky, don't worry about knocking down the plane!"

After landing, Jack smiled all over his face and said to Mason, as if he just did a trivial thing.

Mason, an honest guy, held back for a long time, raised his voice and shouted:

"You pervert...!".

"The more perverted ones are yet to come?" Jack laughed at Mason with a lewd smile.Jack's eyes narrowed, and Big Ben staggered to the ground.

Jack gave Big Ben a look that only the two of them could understand.

Because of David West's rest, the Hornets would lose an inside barrier without David West.

For a time, the Bulls stepped up their breakthrough.However, they seem to forget one thing.They seem to have forgotten that the Hornets still have Jack guarding the basket?
Probably because Jack was traded to the point guard position for too long.They have forgotten how powerful Jack is around the rim.

Hinrich controlled the ball and came in front of Mason, and then used his side to lean against Mason. A strong force came from his sturdy body. It is considered strong, but Mason is too thin.

Hinrich sneered and said:

"Rookie, what are you using to defend against me?"

Mason resisted his pressure and said, "You have the ability to get inside!"

Hinrich said with a half-smile?Then his shoulders suddenly exerted strength one by one, and there was a tyrannical force in an instant. Although Mason's strength had improved a lot recently, Mason really had nothing to do, so he accidentally missed a little space.

Hinrich took advantage of this little space and immediately went to Jack's left. Although Mason had tried his best to guard against it, and although Mason was much faster than Hinrich, Mason was still a little bit in front of Hinrich's timing breakthrough. He couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and Hinrich took advantage of such a little gap and went straight to the inside.

Take the ball one step and two steps.

Hinrich jumped high, and the Bulls fans began to watch, and were even ready to cheer a little impatiently...

"Sure enough, Cork is trustworthy. This goal must be scored. That guy Jack is still outside...what!!!"

"Bring it!"

A loud shout came from behind Hinrich.

"Huh? Is it a hallucination?"

Hinrich was taken aback for a moment, isn't this voice Jack's?Wasn't he pulled to the outside line?
Despite the turbulent waves in his heart, there was no hesitation in his hand, and the fingers of his right hand were slightly bent, ready to make a move...

"This?"

Hinrich couldn't believe what he saw. His slight force couldn't shake the basketball half a point, because on the other side of the basketball, a big hand firmly blocked the ball.

"bring here!"

With a loud shout, Hinrich suddenly felt a strong force coming from his hand, and the basketball involuntarily left his sight.

Hinrich turned his head immediately after falling, but only saw Jack who had already ridden away. At this time, Jack was almost halfway through.

"This this……!"

Hinrich did not dare to think about what he had just experienced.

"force……"

The referee's whistle rang inexplicably at this time, and Jack was stunned by this sound, and stopped his progress.

"Scrimmage!"

The referee made the penalty without hesitation!
"How could this ball be a scrimmage, this is obviously a good cap!"

First, Peja stepped forward to question the referee.Although the "zero tolerance" rule is implemented in this year's competition, it does not mean that it cannot be argued.

But the referee didn't speak and stuck with his call.

Just when Peja was about to argue, Kevin stopped Peja.

"Hey, what's the point of fighting, just fight for the ball, few people in the NBA are my opponents!"

Peja Stockovich also knew that if he had to argue at this time, a bad taste and a technical foul would not be worthwhile. Besides, Jack's jump ball, there are really not many people in the NBA who can beat him by jumping the ball. !

What's more, Jack wants to use this opportunity to take a good setback.Now the Bulls fans are so arrogant.
