I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 6 The correct use of Novak
Inside the East Carolina State University gymnasium, there was silence.Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them, unable to believe their eyes!
How can it be!

For a long time, the steel rough brother who only knows how to fight under the basket (and is not doing very well) suddenly developed a new skill!
In the words of later generations, this is Arthur, the meat shield who charged ahead, and Hou Yi who has turned into a long-range output!

How much gold did you spend, and what kind of skin did you buy to achieve this effect?

An illusion, it must be an illusion!

Oden muttered to himself.

But the scoreboard clearly added three points for the University of Memphis.

This is... a trick!

That's what most people in the arena think.

After all, how could a guy who couldn't make mid-range shots shoot three-pointers.

However, some professionals who watched carefully from the sidelines saw the clues.

Resolute shot, soft touch, beautiful shooting action...

How could this be possible?

"Strange, how could he do this? Cui, could it be that you secretly trained him?"

Coach Calipari asked his assistant suspiciously.

Assistant coach Cui Wanjun shook his head, "How is that possible? Joey weighs a few pounds. Everyone knows that he is not a shooting material at all!"

"..."

Oden was obviously disturbed by the ball, and he was chaotic in the next attack.

The body is fighting alone, but the mind is still desperately thinking about what happened just now.

With one mind and two minds, the close-range shooting that was originally a surefire shot unexpectedly missed it by a strange coincidence!

Joey Dorsey grabs the rebound and Memphis counters.

But when CD Roberts dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt, he found that Joey Dorsey, who had always followed closely, did not keep up in time.

He turned his head and saw Joey Dorsey walking slowly in square steps towards this side.

The offensive rhythm slowed down, and an opportunity for a fast break turned into a positional battle again.

No way, who made Joey Dorsey only have the speed of Novak now!
To everyone's surprise, this time Joey Dorsey ran to the top of the 3-point arc and stopped.

A big question mark popped up in everyone's head:
Why didn't he insert it in accordance with the tactical requirements?Does he want to be fooled again?
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned to Oden in unison.

See whether he will continue to guard the basket, or come out to defend?

If he didn't come out, the opponent might still enter; but if he came out, it meant that Oden had already recognized the opponent's long-range projection ability in his heart.

In other words, once Oden comes out, it means that he thinks this opponent must defend seriously.

To go out or not to go out, this is a dilemma!

Just when Oden hesitated to come up with an idea, Joey Dorsey had already received a pass from his teammate and shot again from outside the three-point line.

Still with a straight posture and a gentle shot, that posture is a mess of standards.

"I won't, I won't, I won't..." Oden said silently in his heart.

But things backfired, and the ball hit the center of the basket accurately again.

Once in a while, it can be said to be fooled, but if you make two in a row, you must be prepared!
Everyone gasped: This kid is hiding something!

For the first time today, the stands cheered for Joey Dorsey.

Joey Dorsey's two consecutive three-pointers greatly boosted the morale of the team. The Memphis players seemed to have eaten Snickers bars, and the defense was all excited!
Competitive play is a lot like a seesaw; when one side pushes down hard, the other side tends to be lifted.

Ohio State University was dizzy by the sudden blow. Under the tight defense of the opponent, the offense actually made a mistake.

Mike Conley's dribble was stolen by CD Roberts, and then he rode thousands of miles alone and scored a one-stop layup!

8:0, as soon as the second half started, the University of Memphis played a small climax under the leadership of Joey Dorsey
Seeing that the situation is not good, the coach of Ohio State University hurriedly asked for a timeout.

"Hey, Joey, you're awesome!"

"You seem to be very different today!"

"Joy, when did you have this three-pointer!"

"Tell me quietly, have you taken the legendary little blue pill?"

Joey Dorsey was treated like a hero, and teammates gathered around the team's pistachios to praise him.

"No, no, it's just a routine operation!" Joey Dorsey said modestly, but the bright smile on his face like a rotten persimmon has deeply betrayed him!
"Joy..." Coach Calipari patted his disciple on the shoulder, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Good job!"

Joey Dorsey decided to strike while the iron was hot and made his request:
"Coach, can I stop marking Oden in the second half?"

"Why?" Calipari was very surprised.

In the past, although Joey Dorsey was a big talker, he never persuaded him.

Could it be that he is afraid of Auden when he makes such a request now?

"My offensive state is coming, I want to focus more on offense, so we may still have a chance"

But such reasons obviously could not convince Calipari. He looked at the big black man in front of him with strange eyes, and asked back after a long time:
"Joy, are you worried that you won't be able to beat Oden?"

"No, I just think it might be more efficient to change someone to defend him and let me attack!"

"Joy, are you really afraid of Oden?"

"Anyway, I can't guard against him. Maybe someone else would be better. Wouldn't it be better to let me shoot three-pointers?"

"If you're really afraid of him, just admit it!"

"I'm doing it for the good of the team. Only scoring can win the game!"

"It seems that you are really afraid of him!"

"...Okay, I admit that I'm afraid of Oden, let's go!"

"Okay. Robert, you will switch to Joey and defend Oden later!"

"..."

Joey Dorsey was speechless.

Well, for the sake of the team's victory, let me take the blame for "fear of Oden"!
Taking advantage of the pause, Feigen scribbled on his notepad.

The comment written during the intermission has been crossed out, and replaced by a freshly baked text:
Well, I admit that I was wrong, Joey Dorsey is a guy worth studying and pondering.

It is obviously a body of a strong inside defender, but it has an unusually soft touch, and that beautiful shooting movement!

Strange, how come no one has ever heard of him as a three-point shooter before?

But I heard that his development template is Ben Wallace. Which brainless evaluation is this?
He's an interesting guy, but he doesn't seem to match the type of player the Houston Rockets desperately need..."

The timeout ended and the two teams returned to the court. The current score is 36:49, and the University of Memphis is still 13 points behind.

Ohio State served, passed the ball three times, and hit Oden again.

Everyone was surprised to find that the defensive player of the University of Memphis had changed. It was no longer the number one defensive champion Joey Dorsey, but another inside player, Robert Dozier.

Dozier is 2 meters tall, a little taller than Dorsey, but his strength and athletic ability are obviously far behind Dorsey, which is why the team has always let Dorsey, who is undersized, play center .

However, Robert Dozier is not useless. Compared with Joey Dorsey, who is more emotionally volatile, he is more stable and more proactive. The most important point is that his execution is very good.

For the tasks assigned by the coach, he is not like Joey Dorsey, but he does it without saying a word.

Insufficient in ability, he actively joined in. He tried his best to stick to Oden, defending desperately without hesitating his physical strength, and at the same time tried all kinds of small moves to interfere with Oden.

He is like a fly, although he does not pose any fatal threat, he is annoying to people.

In the end, Oden still hit the ball into the basket, but he was also panting and impatient.

Oden is tired!

After all, he is a 2 meter tall man weighing 13 kilograms. After fighting with Joey Dorsey for the first half, his physical strength also dropped significantly.

As time goes by, his physical strength will decrease faster and faster, and his performance will be greatly reduced.

On the other hand, Joey Dorsey made the wisest choice, no longer fighting with Oden on the defensive end, and focused all his energy on offense!

As an inside player, he was completely floating near the 3-point line when he was attacking.

And Ohio State University did not adjust the defensive matchup, and Oden was still responsible for defending him.

This time, Oden learned his lesson and stopped letting Joey Dorsey shoot casually, and took the initiative to pull to the 3-point line to defend.

As the team's hottest offensive point in the second half, Joey Dorsey naturally gained the trust of his teammates and won the ball.

"Hey, brat, do you still have the self-consciousness and dignity of a center forward?"

Oden accused him dissatisfiedly while guarding closely.

"What is the self-consciousness and dignity of a center forward?"

"It's about getting inside and fighting like a real man! Just like Ewing and O'Neal! Instead of hiding on the outside and stealing chickens like a bitch!"

In the early years of the 21st century, it was also the last prosperous age of centers. At that time, the lingering charm of the four major centers still existed, and people's understanding of centers still remained in the past melee combat.

I never thought that a few years later, small balls would prevail, and a center who can't shoot mid-range and long-range shots would not be a good center!

It is also the birth of a wonderful insider like Jokic.

As a time traveler, Joey Dorsey has a cognition and vision ahead of this era.

There is no shame in shooting a three-pointer for a center, it is shameful to lose!

As long as I can get the ball into the basket, you don't care if I dunk it in, throw it in, or push it in with my head, in short, it's over!
Joey Dorsey was too lazy to talk nonsense, and shouted:
"Look at my three-pointer!"

As he spoke, he raised his hands and bent his knees, as if he was about to shoot a three-pointer.

Already nervous, Oden jumped up reflexively and wanted to block the shot, but he didn't expect it to be a fake move.

Joey Dorsey feints and dribbles forward.

This ball was exactly the same as Oden's shaking in the first half, and it can be regarded as revenge.

Auden was taken aback, but his physical fitness was superb. His waist and abdomen sank, forcing him to bounce up like a huge spring and then fall down. As soon as his feet landed, he immediately leaped forward and took two strides. It was blocked in front of Joey Dorsey again.

Oden was thankful that he reacted quickly enough, but he was also a little puzzled that Joey Dorsey seemed to be slowing down, but before he could figure it out, he found that Joey Dorsey suddenly took a big step backwards!

Why doesn't he advance but retreat?

Little did he know that Joey Dorsey had expected that it would be impossible to break through Oden's defense with his current speed. The reason why he did this was to make the opponent panic and create enough space for himself at the same time!
Then, is the real ultimate move - take a three-pointer step back!

Oden hasn't seen Harden who has perfected this trick in later generations, otherwise he would definitely be somewhat defensive.

It's too late to say anything, he has already been swayed by Dorsey for two or three steps, and it is too late to go out to block the shot!
Dorsey from outside the three-point line once again staged a textbook shot.

Three point hit!

In the second half, he has scored 3 three-pointers in a row!

"How can the ball be played like this?"

Oden stared back at the basket blankly, muttering to himself.

Amidst the cheers of his teammates, Joey Dorsey ran to his defensive position, took a break from his busy schedule, and glanced at his teammates' evaluations. He had already risen to C+!
If he hadn't killed himself in the first half, but only in the second half, he might be A-level now!

Haha, I have already mastered the correct method of using Novak's ability!
