NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 25 There is a Gundam on the Opposite Side

"Bang! "Skyhook", maybe I should change my catchphrase. To Chen Xiao's hook, I just want to say, silky. This is the first time I have commented on Chen Xiao's game, and it is also the first time I have seen someone actually use the skyhook with my own eyes." Brian said in admiration.

The viewers who are watching the live broadcast may also agree with Bryan's point of view, and some Lakers fans even have an absurd idea in their minds, "Whether Kareem is teaching Andrew Bynum or Chen Xiao".

What you need to know is that after being taught by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the little shark Bynum did have a good little hook, but no one would think that he had learned the essence of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Even in the eyes of some fans, his little hook was like a black chimney poking out of a house without any aesthetic feeling.

The live broadcast signal also replayed the round just now in time.

After catching the ball, Chen Xiao did not hesitate at all. With force on his back, he pushed Cody away and took a step closer to the penalty area. Then he quickly turned up the line, straightened his arms, and raised the ball with straight arms. It seemed that the court was at a standstill at that moment. Chen Xiao gently hooked the ball with his fingers and wrist.The basketball arced gracefully in the air and slid into the hoop.

Cody Zeller, stretching out his arms to block shots, or just trying to interfere, appears so helpless on camera that there's a gap between his fingertips and the basketball.

"Tom, how high is Chen's shot just now? Why do I feel that it is higher than the height of the basket?" Trier, who is not called Jerry, asked Tom who usually called himself Kareem Abdul-Jabbar next to him.

But Tom's attention was only on the field at the moment, and he still kept the picture of the ball standing high in the air in his mind.

Seeing that Tom seemed stupid, Trier gave him a nudge, and after seeing Tom's reaction, he repeated the question again.

"About 10 to 11 feet in the air." Tom answered casually, without taking his eyes off it.

"The height of the basketball hoop is 10 feet, right? Ha, the shot point is indeed higher than the hoop. Wait, there are 12 inches (30.5 centimeters) in a foot. Why is there such a large error range?" Trier, who felt that he read it right, was proud of it, and suddenly found a blind spot.

"Because this is the height of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook. In my opinion, Chen Xiao's hook is no different from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar." As a member of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the XX community, Tom has learned about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's deeds, especially his skyhook. He clearly remembers a piece of information - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar once told astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson that the shooting point he used on the skyhook was "about 10 feet to 11 feet in the air."

"OK, OK, you are an expert on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, you are an expert on Skyhook. No one knows Kareem Abdul-Jabbar better than you." Trier said helplessly, spreading his hands.

……

The wow moments of this game obviously don't end with a single hook.

Another matchup between Chen Xiao and Cody, this time in the short corner on the left side of the basket.

The Kodi people were still honest, and continued to defend behind Chen Xiao in a real way, and did not play "evil ways" such as going around the front.

"That's right, a duel between real men between centers." Seeing that Cody was so persistent, although he didn't know whether it was active or passive, Chen Xiao felt relieved.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone played one-on-one defense, and it was a single top defense?Too bad the golden age is gone forever.

If you really want to go back to that era, it may have to go back to the era of Wilt Chamberlain.

After all, in the 80s, the Pistons implemented the "Jordan Law" against Jordan, playing sidelines, and a large number of off-ball double-teams against Jordan to conduct de facto zone defense.

……

Although the defender in front of Austin Rivers, who holds the ball from the outside, is barking his claws, trying to force Rivers to transfer the ball to his side instead of hanging directly into the inside.

But Rivers, who broke through sharply, relied on a false breakthrough and a true pass, and still stuffed the ball into Chen Xiao's hands.

"Nice pass." After catching the ball with one hand, Chen Xiao did not forget to give Rivers a thumbs up.

Chen Xiao, who was praised, started back hitting. After two times of backward force at the same time, he received the ball and shook his shoulders at the same time. Using his left foot as a supporting foot, he turned to the inside and took off with one foot. Facing the basket with a moderate distance, he easily hooked it.

"Beautiful, this time Chen Xiao not only used his hook skills, but also combined his inside footsteps. This ball made me see the figure of Tim Duncan, who has great basic skills." The commentator gave up his mantra this time and called it beautiful.

However, the silky smooth hook attack seems to be more prominent in its beautiful and graceful use.Whereas Bang is more of an admiration for long-range fire and precision strikes.

"BullShit, these are not Tim's footsteps, these are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's own footsteps. Have people forgotten about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's inside footsteps? His inside footsteps are not inferior to McHale's." Hearing that the commentator praised Chen Xiao with Duncan, Tom, who is a Kareem supporter, was not happy and complained.

After listening to his friend's complaints, Trier knew how to comfort people, "Who among the current fans really understands the old antiques? It would be good if the current fans can pay attention to the 35-year-old Duncan. The commentators may take care of the fans' cognition. If Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is sky hooked, then Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will only be sky hooked."

“嗯哼，老古董？奥拉朱旺刚进入联盟的84年，37岁的贾巴尔场均31分8篮板命中率62.5%。”

"Listen to me, is there a possibility that for current fans, Olajuwon is also an antique." Trier chose to kill people.

"OK, you're right, no one pays attention to the real center now." After Tom finished speaking, he remained silent and looked at the field quietly.

……

"Beep~beep~beep~~" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The Duke Blue Devils defeated the Indiana Mountain Rangers at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

The final score was 102:87.

Duke, who scored 50 points in the first half, made persistent efforts, and scored 50+ points in the second half, successfully scoring more than [-] points in a single game.

After Indiana bit Duke with 47 points in the first half, its 40-point performance in the second half was unsatisfactory, but it was obviously not enough to help them win the Blue Devils, which continued to be hot.

Watford, the top scorer in the first half of the Mountains, felt a decline in the follow-up game. He made 11 of 6 shots in the first half and only hit 9 goals in 3 shots in the second half. Although Oladipo scored 75 points and sent 15 assists with a shooting rate of 6%, but there was a high score on the opposite side.

The shooting was as high as Seth Curry, who only shot 3-pointers and hit 9 three-pointers, allowing Seth to score 27 pure points.

而球队核心陈逍的表现就不如塞斯·库里了，只砍下24纯分的他，全场17投12中，罚球8中5，总计29分12个篮板5次盖帽。
