Chapter 177 The Inheritance of Iron and Blood

However, a crisp 3-0 sent Henry back to the stands.

Rodman didn't let go of the water in the game against Henry, and the offensive skills he showed did not appear rusty because of his age, but more mature and proficient.

These are not the skills that a 70-year-old man can use. Defense, back attack, and passing. Although the movements are a little slow, all the skills are used very well. What's more, Henry's little tricks are useless to Rodman.

"Your skills are too childish." Rodman smiled and shook his finger at Henry while sending him away.

Seeing this scene, the arena immediately erupted, and the Bulls players including Barrett couldn't help booing. It's not easy for the 70-year-old legend to be able to fight against young players.

After the first game was easily won, a group of players retreated. Part of the reason why these people chose Rodman and Pippen at first was because of respect and wanted to compete with the legend.

The second player who was drawn directly chose to abstain under Rodman's coercion, causing an uproar. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and some people are really willing to miss it.

Rodman twisted up like a show off, his age is only reflected in his body, but his spirit is still a strong young guy.

"Come on!!!" Rodman walked back and forth in front of the campers, making "provocative" voices towards the crowd from time to time, and the campers responded by waving their hands and refusing.

"Since no one is up, then I..." Cannavaro finally waited for the long-awaited opportunity, but unexpectedly was cut off by Daniel Tyrone first.

The top 10 players finally couldn't bear to play, but the player who played turned out to be a point guard.

However, Daniel Tyrone's body attracted Rodman deeply. His strong figure was very similar to himself when he was young, except that the opponent's height was slightly shorter than his own, but it was enough to play the position of point guard.

Tyrone's level is obviously much higher than that of Henry, which Rodman firmly believes.

"Hello, senior, please give me your advice." Tyrone saluted Rodman very politely. Legendary stars like Rodman are highly respected in the United States, especially such old seniors.

Daniel Tyrone was a child born in Detroit, where most of the children picked up basketball not because of Michael Jordan, but because of Dennis Rodman and the "Bad Boys" around him. They instilled a unique basketball culture in Detroit, strength, ferocity, confrontation and even fights. The blood of Detroit's basketball is bright red, and that iron-blooded style has continued since the 80s.

Some people say that the "Bad Boys Corps" have taught children badly, but they don't know that's what basketball is supposed to be like.

"You are a child of Detroit, the ball belongs to you." Rodman gave up the ball again. He had never taken the initiative to give up the ball twice before.

Although Tyrone is a point guard, he has mastered many power forward skills proficiently, and from him Rodman really saw his own shadow when he was young.

"Then I won't be polite." Tyrone accepted Rodman's "handicap".

"It's so similar." Louis seemed to see two Rodmans competing in the same field.

Tyrone not only resembles Rodman in size, but also has similar skills and style of play. You can hear the clear and distinct impact of muscles on and off the court.

What is surprising is that Tyrone did not suffer at all in the confrontation with Rodman, and he was on par with Rodman.

Of course, it must be admitted that Rodman's competitiveness on the court has declined significantly with the increase in grades. However, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and being able to compete with Rodman in his old age is also an affirmation of Tyrone.

Rodman was famous for his outstanding defense in the NBA, but because of his prominence on the defensive end, he concealed his talent on the offensive end. He once mastered the core skills of the "triangle offense" in 15 minutes.

"This little brat actually stole all my skills." Rodman recognized the technique used by Tyrone in just a few rounds of offense and defense.

This is not surprising. Tyrone, who grew up in Detroit, watched the highlights and videos of the Pistons almost every day, and among the many videos, Rodman played the most times.

"He is simply a genius." Tai Long once danced excitedly to the TV.

Every time after watching those videos, he would always go to the court in the park to practice with an old basketball, and he could even stay in the park for a whole afternoon just for one movement.

After a long period of time, he has mastered almost all of Rodman's skills, including technical movements and awareness.

Spiritual things are the most difficult to imitate and the most difficult to comprehend. However, Tyrone has achieved Rodman-level awareness of quality through repeated research, which made him the most talented boy in Detroit when he was 15 years old. He was invited to join the U.S. U16 national team and won the world championship with the team.

Without Rodman, there would be no Tyrone today.

The reason why Tyrone challenged Rodman was also to pay tribute to Rodman and let him see that the passion he left for Detroit back then has not been extinguished, but has been excellently inherited.

The confrontation between the two was full of muscular collisions, and under equal impact, the younger side obviously had the advantage.

Rodman received a strong impact, he took two steps back and lost his defensive position, Tyrone took advantage of the momentum and dunked the sadist with both hands.

Although he was scored, Rodman's eyes showed relief.

Infected by the young man, Rodman chatted with the old man, retaliated with the same impact, and also completed a two-handed dunk, but his dunk was not as explosive as Tyrone's, it was just a light free dunk.

This scene makes people feel sorry, the legend is still the legend, but the legend can't stand up to the years, Rodman is old, he can't jump high and can't buckle.

The good news is that although Rodman is old, Tyrone has completed his inheritance. The iron blood flowing in Detroit's basketball will never change.
