Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 92 The King of Jumping, the Top of the Basket

Seeing Liu Ming take the initiative to guard against McCollum.

Bill and Stu, the Lakers' two commentators at home, were extremely excited.

"Hey, man, I really don't know what the off-court media are doing. It's not that Liu left the Lakers. Why do they use words like 'betrayal'?"

"Yeah, I don't understand either. Vogel didn't let Liu start because Liu, who is both offensive and defensive, is the Lakers' secret weapon. If it is exposed at the beginning, there is no secret at all!"

"There will be a good show to watch. Portland's second-in-command may never dream of what awaits him."

"Haha, I guess if 157 dares to pull up and vote, Miracle Liu will definitely reward him with a hot pot hat!"

The Lakers fans couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

The number 157 has special meaning to CJ McCollum.

Because CJ was only 14 cm tall when he was 157 years old, and his petite figure didn't even reach the average height of American girls.

But he has always been able to stick to his basketball dream, and he has grown to 189 cm in a few years in high school. In the end, he led the purely academic Lehigh University to defeat the powerful Duke University in the NCAA, and finally broke into the NBA and became the No. [-] star of the Trail Blazers step by step.

Originally, this was a very inspirational story.

But the on-site commentary quoted this number at this time, which seemed to be more ironic.

Bill McDonald actually wanted to chime in with something else.

But McCollum on the court has already started to attack.

His eyes were on the frame, he pushed forward and changed direction, and his body rushed towards Liu Ming's right side.

But Liu Ming's reaction speed was extremely fast, and he took a step with his right leg in an instant, and easily blocked the breakthrough route.

Seeing that the route was blocked, McCollum was not in a hurry.

He pulled the ball with his left hand and walked out with his back to Liu Ming.

Immediately afterwards, with the right foot as the axis, turn around after dribbling with the right hand.

Attempt to form a breakthrough again with the idea of ​​returning to the carbine.

But Liu Ming took another simple step like a prophet.

Magically stuck his breakthrough line again with his body.

McCollum had no choice but to keep controlling the course of the ball and took two steps back.

However, no matter how the rhythm master changes direction next.

No matter how he fakes and shakes.

However, Liu Ming was able to separate the false from the false and keep the true from the false, and he got stuck in place at the first time.

Seeing that there is not much time left to attack.

In the end, McCollum could only feint outside the three-point line close to the bottom corner, and retreated.

However, through keen observation, Liu Ming had already caught McCollum's tiny elbow movement just now.

Raising the ball to the elbow is not worshiping Buddha, but a real shot!

So Liu Ming took off on the spot and jumped high before McCollum shook his wrist.

At the same time, he raised his left hand high and intercepted the basketball in the air.

As usual.

For a step-back [-]-point shot, the defender should have to lunge forward to touch the ball.

But Liu Ming relied on the skill bonus of [King of Jumping], so he didn't worry about not being able to catch McCollum who was taller than him.

So jumping vertically in place will only be more efficient.

Seeing this, the two home commentators at the scene stretched their voices exaggeratedly.

"OH~MY~GOD!"

"Liu's jump has a vertical height of at least 120 centimeters!"

The height of this jump is indeed extremely exaggerated.

At the highest point, Liu Ming's waist was even level with McCollum's shoulders.

So he swung his left hand impartially, directly cutting off the trajectory of the basketball.

Thanks to the skill bonus of the professional [King of Saves], Liu Ming picked the basketball out of the air like a football goalkeeper.

"Take off... hat!"

The fans at the scene saw each other and screamed out loudly.

"Fantastic Liu's jumping ability is amazing!"

"I bet a thousand dollars, this guy is definitely not human!"

Even the commentator Situ Langzi was stunned by Liu Ming's jump.

He used to be a player too, even playing for the Lakers in the 72-74 season.

It can be regarded as one of the players who have personally experienced the horror of the legendary coach Chamberlain's reign.

So when he saw Liu Ming jump out of this startling leap with a height of 193, all the images of Zhang Dashuai appeared in his mind.

His partner Bill next to him was shocked and asked with a smile: "Dude, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did Stu come to his senses, and then shook his head again and again, "Liu's bounce is too outrageous. I thought that after Wilt Chamberlain, no one in the league could touch the top of the rim anymore, but Liu Ming made me change my mind."

"What? You think Liu at 193 can touch the top of the basket! What an international joke!"

"Based on the vertical take-off height just now, there is still a lot of room for extreme running and jumping. Even if you can't touch it, I'm afraid it's not too far away."

On the sidelines, the Lakers atmosphere team on the bench also all stood up.

They waved towels one after another and kept jumping.

James also bounced like a spring was installed under his butt.

His eyes widened and he made an unbelievably funny expression.

Then he raised his hands high, like devout believers.

The Lakers players, including uniforms.

They were all shocked by Liu Ming's cap.

It wasn't until this moment that they suddenly woke up.

Yup!

Whether it was training or an official game before.

Liu Ming has never shown how exaggerated his jumping is.

Although he dedicated many beautiful blocks in two consecutive games.

But those blocks weren't because of his high jump, but his timing of the blocks was far beyond ordinary people.

However, superb technology is one thing, and supernatural talent is another.

So when Liu Ming suddenly showed his jumping talent, everyone will be even more shocked!
……

After taking off the hat, the system prompt has not sounded yet.

Liu Ming knew that a cap was not enough, so he handed the ball to Caruso to take the ball forward.

Losing the fast break opportunity, the Lakers can only play steadily.

Caruso repeated his old trick and handed the ball to Jia.

Except for Zhuang Shen, who is rooted in the interior, the rest of the players began to run constantly.

To be honest, the Blazers' defense is like a sieve.

Even without the skill bonus of [King of Flash], Liu Ming quickly made another chance in the middle distance on the right.

Gasol's pass is still timely.

But this time, McCollum had already guarded against Liu Ming's move.

When Liu Ming received the ball, McCollum flew directly to interfere.

But Liu Ming didn't jump up and shoot immediately, but changed direction with the ball, using the principle of European steps to get to the basket.

Immediately after pulling it up on the spot, a domineering and unparalleled fire came!

Dunk with both hands!

The point difference was reduced to 4 points!
wow...

There were nearly [-] spectators in the Staples Arena, and there was a roar of cheers like a tsunami.

Obviously, the Lakers fans at the scene were silenced by Liu Ming's dunk.

The atmosphere group on the Lakers bench is on the line again.

At this time, they imitated the boss James, and collectively made a gesture of worship.

Caruso, Gasol and other players on the court also came to high-five Liu Ming one after another.

Looking back, the Blazers attacked.

CJ holds the ball.

As a double guard capable of writing and martial arts, although McCollum's organizational ability is a bit weak, he is never afraid of physical confrontation, and his breakthrough is the famous stunt of the rhythm master.

Obviously, he still wanted to fight Liu Ming one-on-one.
