Chapter 50 The Strongest Battle

Su Yang thought about going heads-up, but he didn't want to be the first one.

But while he was waiting for others to go first, he suddenly recalled the report in the "Los Angeles Times". Since he said that he would be embarrassed when he met an NBA player, he might as well try now.

"Are you sure he will come first?" Luol Deng said with a smile on his face, "I only plan to take three shots. The opportunity is precious."

Westbrook and the others didn't gnaw, and Luol Deng showed surprise: "That's it, how do you want to fight?"

Su Yang thought for a moment: "I want to experience the NBA-level defense first. Let's simulate a one-on-one zone first. But I've always been the one to initiate the offense. I played a total of ten balls, and each attack lasted 24 seconds. What do you think?"

Luo Er Deng nodded: "Okay, let's start."

Su Yang stepped into the field, walked to the right elbow to stand, and asked the staff to help serve and time.

Westbrook stood up, raised his arms silently to cheer, Harden and others also stood up to watch.

The staff asked Luol Deng if he would accept the video and would like to make it public in the future, and Luol Deng nodded in agreement.

Several cameras on the sidelines were turned on immediately, and Harper received a basketball from the staff and signaled that he would come in person.

"Beep!" Harper served the ball and whistled to remind him to start.

The entire arena became abnormally quiet in an instant, and it seemed that everyone was concerned about this duel.

Su Yang caught the ball with his back, turned around with his left foot as the pivot, and faced the basket in a three-threat move.

"Sure enough, it's a feeling of oppression that I've never experienced before..." Su Yang sighed in his heart. Luo Er Deng's height was 206 cm, like a hill in front of him. .

Luo Er Deng stood with his knees slightly bent, with a very casual expression: "Your movements are quite standard."

Hearing this, Su Yang took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and raised his foot to the right to test.

Luol Deng didn't move at all, probably not arrogant, but the delay could be completed by reaching out.

"You can't think too much in the face of a strong enemy, or you will easily consume yourself..." Su Yang made up his mind and decided to use his tricks. The tentative step turned into a smooth step, and then he slapped the ball hard, turned his whole body to the right, and kicked his shoulders. to start.

I once thought that when Su Yang just took the second step, Luol Deng stretched out the basketball with his left hand like a magic vine with a target. Not only was his speed fast, but his strength was also accurate. It seemed that he would grab the ball in the next second. Deviation possible.

In an instant, Su Yang stepped on the front brake with his right foot, stopped abruptly and reversed his crotch at the same time, switching his right hand to his left.

Luol Deng turned sideways slightly, raised his right hand and grabbed the basketball again, as expected.

Su Yang hurriedly pulled the ball and turned around, avoiding the pressure and immediately raised his hand to aim at the basket, ready to grab the rhythm and shoot.

But who knows, Luol Deng rushed forward again, forcibly taking advantage of his height and wingspan to make up for his misplaced mistakes.

At this moment, a strong shot is tantamount to taking a risk. Su Yang stopped his movements to avoid the attack, followed by bending over to dodge Luol Deng's large body, and then stepped forward to approach the basket. Finally, he exerted light force with his left hand, like throwing a balloon Usually picks the ball toward the basket.

Luol Deng was stuck behind him, unable to use his strength, and unable to reach even with height, so he could only stare blankly.

when!The basketball hits the rim, bounces, and catches the net.

"Okay!" Westbrook celebrated by throwing his fists on the sidelines, and Harden and others cheered.

Su Yang predicted that 10 goals out of 4 would be considered a success. Now that the first goal has reached a quarter of the goal, I can only feel my heart beating, and I have an urge to shout loudly.

Luo Erdeng put his hands on his hips, looked at Su Yang and nodded frequently: "To be honest, I despised you a little before, but now I have realized how capable you are, and I will be more focused next, and I hope you will also attack with all your strength."

Su Yang nodded in response, strode to the right elbow, still stood with his back and waited.

Harper whistled, and Su Yang caught the ball and turned to face the basket. Without a tentative step, he directly crossed and stepped to the left to break through.

Luo Er Deng twisted his hips and turned sideways, put his left hand on Su Yang's waist, raised his right hand high, and slid close to follow.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang rushed into the paint area, stopped abruptly, changed his left hand behind his right hand, and diverted to the right to break through.

Luo Er Deng turned around almost at the same time, and changed his left hand to raise his right hand and lowered his waist, as if he would continue to follow closely.

But at the half-second when Luo Erdeng raised his left hand, Su Yang stopped suddenly again, changed his left hand under his right crotch, then pulled the ball back, jumped to the free throw line with one step, and jumped with the ball in rhythm. Hit the back basket.

The basketball flew past Luol Deng's fingertips and bounced into the net with a bang.

Luo Er Deng fell into a state of confusion for a short time, and then asked with a smile: "Did you plan ahead?"

Su Yang waved his hand: "No, at first I wanted to force you to keep your center of gravity forward, but I soon realized that with your height and wingspan, even if you were tricked into taking off, you might still be blocked by a second take-off, so I temporarily Decided to change hands behind the scenes."

Luol Deng asked with his hips on his hips, "Then how did you decide to throw back and throw it unconsciously?"

Su Yang felt that these words were a bit unconvinced. Luo Erdeng seemed to think that the ball just now was just luck. Although there was indeed an element of luck, it was more based on thinking, and to win luck with the greatest probability of success.

"When I found out that you switched hands, I didn't think you could get your right hand back up quickly, and I watched you play against the Lakers last night, and you basically couldn't block shots with your left hand, so I just..."

Su Yang didn't finish his sentence, he just shrugged slightly and said, "You know, I don't rely entirely on luck. '

And the left-handed block itself is a difficult skill to practice. Except for Kobe, LeBron and other players who pursue the limit in various aspects, other players rarely use it. That's why they boldly try to retreat and throw. Hands up time.

"Very good!" Luol Deng nodded again and again. "It seems that I haven't fully grasped your strength, come again!"

Su Yang walked to the right elbow position, raised his hand sideways to receive the pass from Harper, and took advantage of the momentum to sweep forward with a low pull.

Luo Er Deng's two big hands struck out with lightning, one left and one right continued to press, the movements were fast and fierce.

Without thinking about it, Su Yang raised the ball high above his head again, intending to avoid the interference of the long arm first.

Luo Erdeng then put his hand over Su Yang's head, blocking everything like a dark cloud covering the sun.

Su Yang lowered the ball again. Seeing that Luol Deng stretched out his hand to interfere again, he immediately jumped back and raised his head to aim at the basket. Lift off and glide.

Luol Deng couldn't react in time, so he quickly turned around to check. The basketball hit the net with a bang, rebounded twice and fell into the net.

"YES!" Westbrook and others cheered, Harper and others shook their heads and sighed.

Su Yang stood calmly at the three-point line, but he felt happy in his heart, and his thoughts flew far away.

"If Luol Deng represents the average single-handed level of NBA players, then when I enter the NBA in the future, even if I can't become the absolute main force due to physical limitations, at least I can become the sixth man like Lu Wei."

Just as he was thinking, Luo Er Deng waved his hand to signal to continue serving, and there was no longer any trace of a smile on his face.

Su Yang went to the elbow area to catch the ball, and just before he got it in his hand, he noticed that Luo Er Deng was close to him. He obviously changed his defensive strategy, maybe he wanted to make a sudden shot or not to make a shot, or forced a technical action through physical confrontation out of shape.

"I need to keep calm..." Su Yang felt that he would be knocked into the air at any moment, so he simply put his back on Luo Erdeng completely, bent his knees slightly to lower his center of gravity, tried his best to keep his body stable, and prepared to seriously think about his next move.

Unexpectedly, within less than two seconds of holding his back, Luo Erdeng suddenly retreated to avoid it.

The supporting point disappeared, Su Yang could not help falling backwards, and Luol Deng stretched out his hand to grab him.

There was an exclamation from the sidelines. Su Yang stepped back with his left foot to stabilize his figure, turned around with his right foot on the ground, and directly hooked his hand to hit the board with a high throw. There was no preparation or take-off, and the shot seemed very sudden. Luo Er Deng jumped. Even high didn't stop it.

It's a pity that the basketball rebounded and fell and failed to hit.

"Oh, it's a pity..." Westbrook and others shook their heads and sighed, as if they were shooting iron by themselves.

Luo Er Deng gave Su Yang a thumbs up: "Your ability to create mobile phone opportunities is a genius!"

Su Yang smiled and nodded. He knew that he was lucky just now. He shouldn't have put so much effort on his back, and he didn't pay attention to controlling the center of gravity of his body. stature.

The whole process was like accidentally bringing a time bomb into the home and then wittily resolving the crisis.

The heads-up continued, Su Yang received the ball from the right elbow, and Luol Deng approached him again.

With previous experience, Su Yang chose to pull the ball and retreat to avoid it, but Luol Deng continued to approach.

The two slowly came to the three-point line. Su Yang hadn't figured out how to operate, and Luol Deng chose to block the right and put the left.

Su Yang made some calculations in his mind, and dribbled the ball with his left hand to break through. The center of gravity was extremely low, and the speed was directly full.

Luol Deng raised his right hand high to catch up, deliberately staying half a step behind, and resolutely refused to retreat or stop in an emergency.

The two rushed to the bottom line in a blink of an eye, Luo Er Deng immediately stood still with his hands raised high, but Su Yang did not stop.

He jumped out of the field, raised his hand with the ball in the air, and pressed his wrist at a negative angle to shoot.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

Luo Er Deng put his hands on his hips and smiled bitterly: "Damn it, why are you so imaginative?"

"Come again, come again." Harper shouted from the sidelines, obviously very excited about this heads-up.

Su Yang walked to the elbow and stood still, raised his hand to receive the pass, and was approached by Luol Deng.

Unlike before, this time Luol Deng chose to stick to the right rear, completely cutting off the opportunity to retreat or change direction. He seemed very confident that he could use his height and wingspan advantage to complete the interference under the basket, and he was determined to prevent this shot.

In such a defensive posture, Su Yang subconsciously glanced at Harden on the sidelines, and then dribbled forward with his left hand.

The speed was not fast, but the moment Luo Er Deng started to catch up, he immediately kicked his right foot on the ground and moved a step.

Luol Deng rushed forward in a hurry, Su Yang formally joined the ball and moved another step.

Luo Er Deng was exhausted, unable to continue to defend, and was completely stunned.

Su Yang took off steadily and shot, the basketball circle hit the net, and most people in the arena were a little confused.

Luol Deng was the first to react: "If you walk, this ball definitely doesn't count."

When he said that, the others nodded, thinking it was a walk.

Su Yang didn't explain, but took the ball and walked to the previous position, repeating in extremely slow motion.

"The first time I retreated, I didn't join the ball. I just used the inertia of my body to pull the ball, so..."

Luol Deng thought for a long time, and slowly nodded his approval, but many people still thought it was walking.

The one-on-one battle between the two continued, ten balls were played quickly, and Su Yang hit eight balls, which was considered a gratifying performance.

Su Yang and Luol Deng gave a high five to each other. This one-on-one match can be said to have pushed the limit, and it can be summarized and reviewed afterwards.

He walked to the sidelines and waited for the onlookers to watch Harden single-handedly. Harper came over and stood shoulder to shoulder.

"I was completely wrong about your shortcomings before, and now I want to point it out again."

Su Yang nodded, looking forward to it.

Harper laughed: "You need to improve in an all-round way, and the goal is to become a player like Allen Iverson..."
