Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 122 The Button of Death
On September 2000, 9, the men's basketball group match of the Sydney Olympic Games, the United States VS France.With 25 minutes and 16 seconds left in the second half, Carter stole the ball in the frontcourt, faced the defense of the French team center Weiss, jumped directly over the opponent's head, and smashed the ball into the basket with a tomahawk dunk , this dunk was named "Death Dunk".Since then, "death dunk" refers specifically to the dunk behavior of the attacker facing the defender in a basketball game, dunking or dunking the defender, and with Carter's jewels in front, it is basically acquiesced that such a dunk is to leap over the inside player of.

And this "death button" completely changed the careers of Carter and Weiss. Carter, who entered the NBA as the No. 1998 pick in the first round in 2008, quickly became a hot superstar in the league. His dunks have risen to the level of art, and later he also became one of the four top perimeter players in the league. "Xike Dongai, North Carolina Nanmai".As for the tragic background Tuvez, he has been playing for CSKA Moscow in his career and did not announce his retirement until [-]. However, after that dunk, his life, alcoholism and suicide attempt, went to another track in his life.

Of course Ye Feng wants to try the "death button", but it seems that this may be a beggar's version, because the Knicks' inside players on the field are not tall at present, David Lee and Al Harrington are 2.06 meters tall It is already the first height on their field. It is not easy to find a center forward with a height of 2.10 meters or more.But forget it, 2 meters is 06 meters. Height is not the key point, riding buckle is the key point. As long as he can fly, his bad breath can be regarded as vented.

But if you think about it carefully, it's really not easy. First of all, there can be no other players between him and the defender, otherwise the speed will not be high. Basically, no player can take off from the spot and leap 2 meters 06 over the defender, right?Secondly, you have to do this action while you are in a good state. If you wait until you are not physically strong enough to buckle, then you can only do it intentionally and powerlessly.Of course, the best way is to learn from Carter. The fast-break dunk after the steal can perfectly meet all the conditions, and it is also very suitable for face-slapping.

After making up his mind, Ye Feng instantly turned into an outside iron gate, and he also actively switched defenses with his teammates. Most of the time, he kept the pressure on the ball holder.Blake and Roy didn't know what he was going to do, but they were happy to have someone stand up and defend the ball handler.However, if a direct steal is likely to become a super simple fast-break dunk, there is no way to enjoy the thrill of dunking the opponent. Thinking of this, Ye Feng decided to take the risk, first pretending to make a mistake and throw the ball, and then throw the ball Give it back, so that you should be able to face the Knicks inside alone.

If McMillan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely be scolded. After all, the two teams are still in a tug-of-war, and any round is very critical, and the difference may be four or five points.It is of course good to be able to counterattack, but the probability of directly giving the opponent two points is much higher. The risk of Ye Feng's idea is not so great.In fact, he still dared to think this way in the first quarter. If it came to a critical moment like the fourth quarter, one ball might decide the outcome. Then he would not dare to play like this!
Ye Feng is very confident in his own strength, but it is quite difficult to do this kind of thing seamlessly, at least not let the head coach see that he made a deliberate mistake.But the best time is when a teammate is intercepted with the ball, and then steals it back by himself. This way, you don’t have to bear any responsibility, and you can also get praise from the coach and teammates by the way. It can really be said to be worthless!It's just that this kind of mentality is quite dark...

The Knicks' starting backcourt combination in this game is Duhon and Quentin Richardson, but these two guys are not good at defense at all. It is undoubtedly difficult for them to steal. Maybe when their characters are overwhelmed Only then can you grab the ball from Blake, right?As for Roy, he just faced Du Hong and completed a one-stop fast-break layup after a steal, so he didn't expect him to contribute steals to the opponent.

Maybe it was Ye Feng's obsession that played a role, maybe it was the Knicks' backcourt combination that was really good in this game, and the opportunity Ye Feng had been waiting for came soon.Blake's pass to the inside line at the top of the arc was intercepted by Duhon, who had quick eyes and quick hands. The next moment, the players near the free throw line were turned on their backs, and the players on both sides were in a mess.Duhon, who had already fallen to the ground, tactfully moved the ball to Chandler, who picked up the ball without hesitation and rushed to the backcourt of the Blazers.

Ye Feng saw all this. He was at a 45-degree angle on the left wing and did not rush forward to fight for the ball with his teammates. Instead, he was ready to rush towards his own half at any time.And when Chandler dribbled the ball towards the other half, Ye Feng had already activated it, and the distance between him and Chandler was only half a meter just past the halfway line.Before the Knicks players behind could give a warning, Ye Feng rushed to Chandler's side and slapped the racket off.At this time, Chandler didn't notice what happened at all. He only felt that his hand was empty, and he rushed forward a few meters by virtue of inertia, only to find that the ball had been directly intercepted by someone else. Naturally, he couldn't fight back.

After Ye Feng got the ball, he quickly stabilized his center of gravity. At this time, several Knicks' backcourt players got up from the floor and prepared to participate in the fast break.Ye Feng rushed forward with the ball without hesitation, easily bypassed the chaotic crowd and entered the Knicks' inside lane.Harrington, who is relatively flexible, has already run near the three-point line. Strictly speaking, there are only two people under the basket, Oden and David Lee. This is the best situation that Ye Feng dreamed of.

He yelled, "Greg, get out of the way!" Alden watched him charge aggressively, and stepped aside quickly.Just kidding, what are you doing standing under the basket at this time?Looking at Ye's expression, it is bitter and bitter!Uh, no, but it's definitely not good-looking. It seems better to say that the face is ferocious.Oden left the basket, but David Lee was in a daze. He didn't know which one to defend!At this time, his teammates have not recovered from the change from defense to offense and then to defense. The only one who can guard the basket is himself.

But David Lee's hesitation ruined the big thing. Originally, he was in a pretty good position. With his golf intelligence, he could even directly cause Ye Feng to make an offensive foul. However, after hesitating for a while, his body was no longer vertical. In such a state, there is no way to cause an offensive foul.At this moment, Ye Feng's speed had already increased, and he could see David Lee's hesitation, and now even the last bit of doubt was gone.

One step away from David Lee, Ye Feng jumped with the ball in his hand and flew over David Lee's head like a roc spreading its wings.At that moment, the noise of the entire Madison Square Garden seemed to disappear, and it sounded like there was no one in the arena, as silent as a grave.Die-hard Knicks fan Spike Lee's ass is out of his seat, his trash-talking mouth is open, his eyes are staring like they're going to pop out of their sockets.If he knew that his trash talk fueled this young man's fire, he must have some regrets, right?
As another person involved, David Lee's feelings are clearer than others.He only felt that the lights above the arena dimmed for an instant, and then a young body full of explosive power hit him, and he staggered back a few steps involuntarily.But the man flying over his head ignored his reaction at all. From his perspective, the Blazers No. 3 jersey seemed to be floating in mid-air, and the hand holding the basketball was still slowly moving. Reach for the basket.

"Boom!" Ye Feng slammed the basketball into the hoop with one hand, and took advantage of the opportunity to do a pull-up on the hoop.However, this action was not called a technical foul. David Lee was standing just below him. According to NBA regulations, if it was not to protect the personal safety of himself and other players, he would do pull-ups on the rim after dunking. Upward movement is strictly prohibited and a technical foul will be called if it occurs.Obviously Ye Feng is not within the range of eating T this time.

It wasn't until the referee's whistle sounded that the entire arena resumed its normal noise. Ye Feng listened carefully, and found that many of them were yelling at him, among which Spike Lee's voice was the loudest. Horrified, no fan in the NBA can tolerate such an obviously insulting, though not foul, action by a visiting player on his team's home court.But Ye Feng felt very happy, and he even did Iverson's classic move without any scruples: put his hands next to his ears, as if hoping that the Knicks fans would boo more.In fact, Iverson's celebratory action was more to mobilize the cheers of the 76ers fans. Ye Feng made it at this time, which was very provocative.

However, after that, Spike Lee restrained his trash talk, and the few fans who were holding up the slogans that were close to racial discrimination also quickly put away their props. Ye Feng's "death button" seemed to be on their faces. He was slapped hard on the face.In the next game, although David Lee scored a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds, Du Hong scored 23 points and 13 assists, but Ye Feng's 35 points, 8 7 rebounds and [-] assists to help the Blazers retreat in the away game.

And after this game, maybe Ye Feng has already been blacklisted by Knicks fans.
