I'm really a slam dunk

For Mary, what kind of man is the most greedy?
Just have top talent,

It's so special...

Such a man, to her, is simply a walking hormone.

Of course, provided that...

Must be handsome!
……

In the game between Nets and SuperSonics, Duch played 43 minutes and scored 39 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 9 blocks. He made 16 of 9 three-pointers. His three-point shooting rate was astonishingly high!
and.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Duqi broke through the 20 mark in a single quarter and scored 21 points!Finally ended the game!

"awesome!"

"This is the first time in Du's NBA career that he has scored such a high score, reaching an astonishing 39 points, almost breaking 40 points!"

"It's so scary!"

Over here at Supersonic Speed,
Gentleman Ray Allen's performance was also amazing. He played 41 minutes and scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

But such achievements are not enough in front of Du Qi.

When Du Qi and his teammates celebrated enthusiastically on the court, Ray Allen looked frustrated, with a feeling of both Shengyu and He Shengliang.

the next day.

About the Nets VS Supersonics game.

The reports were all over the place.

"Du Qi is really a god in this battle!"

"That's needless to say. Three-pointer No.1!"

"It's enough to go down in NBA history."

These are all honors for Duke.On the Internet or on forums, there are much fewer voices questioning and belittling Du Qi.

The time came to mid-May.

At this point in time, the NBA regular season is basically in its final stages.

The Nets also played their last game of the regular season, which was a challenge from the powerful Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference.

"The Western Suns are really tough this season! Under the leadership of the ball-handling master Nash, led the bully under the basket to win the first place in the Western Conference and the best record in the entire league!"

"Yes."

"The Suns have championship looks!"

"Not necessarily!"

"Ok?"

"The Nets still ranked fifth in the East even though their starting center was absent from the game. As last year's champion, the Nets are not weak this year!"

"I also support the Nets!"

"I heard that the Nets' starting center is coming back. We are looking forward to the return of Jason Collins.

Moreover, Du Qi is also very capable. Whether it is his three-pointers or ball-handling ability, he has improved significantly compared to last season. This Asian boy can't just use the usual theory! "

"The Nets can't do it this year!"

"I don't think the Nets can do it. Even if their center returns, so what? Their lineup has a hole in the interior since Kenyon Martin moved."

"Yes."

……

Unconsciously, the Nets were pushed to the forefront.

Fans love the Nets to their core.

But those who don't like the Nets are extremely annoying.

It has a bipolar distribution.

……

4 month 24 day.

When the Pistons VS Pacers G1 game starts, the Nets VS Bulls G1 game will also start.

因为季后赛是2-2-1-1-1的赛制。

Therefore, the Nets, which ranked high in the regular season, obtained the home court advantage in G1 and G2 games.

7pm that night.

Barclays Center Arena.

The Bulls' overall state was sluggish, losing to the Nets 94 to 103 and losing one city.

But in the G4 game on April 26.

The Bulls were brave after knowing their shame, took down the Nets, pulled back a victory, and the total score was tied 1-1.

The Bulls took the game to their home arena, the United Center.

Dramatically yes.

In the Bulls' two home games, the Nets also lost one and won one, with a total score of 2:2!
Thus.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference, the Nets and the Bulls will have a decisive battle against Tianwangshan.

The time has come to May 5th.

Night.

The home court returns to the Nets again.

Barclays Center Arena.

This arena, which can accommodate 1 people, is crowded with people.

Today, not only many Nets fans came to watch the battle at Tianwang Mountain, but there were also many Bulls fans.

And soon.

Among these Bulls fans, the fans discovered a super celebrity, that is, the legend of the Bulls in casual clothes——

"Michael Jordan!"

"Michael Jordan!"

"Michael Jordan!"

"..."

As a legend of the Bulls, it is reasonable for Jordan to watch this game.But the stadium fans are not calm.

If it weren't for the security on site to maintain order, there would have been chaos in the arena.

Fans want autographs, pictures, hugs from Jordan.

Female fans want to kiss even more!

and so.

When Du Qi came out of the player channel with the Nets' appearance music, he saw this bizarre scene.

Not only Du Qi, but other players of the Nets,

When they saw clearly that it was Jordan appearing in the auditorium of this game, they were all excited and inexplicably curious!

They also want to get Jordan's autograph, take a photo, and kiss—ahh!To hug!
at this time.

The media reporters at the scene have turned the camera around and placed it on the eastern audience seat where Jordan is sitting.

Even CCTV's five sets of footage were given to Jordan.

Asia region.

Whether it is in front of the TV at home or in front of the computer in an Internet cafe,

When the Asian fans saw the camera of Jordan, they were so excited that they screamed.

Chinese fans even used "fuck" to express their excitement.

……

The camera returns to the game scene.

The security guards managed to stabilize the order of the scene.

On this side, the Bulls players also came out of the player tunnel following their appearance music.

When they learned that their senior Jordan was also present, they were all inexplicably excited.

The arrival of Jordan,
It's like giving the Bulls players a shot of chicken blood.You can see it during the warm-up.

soon.

The warm-up is over and the game is about to start.

Nets here.

Because starting center Jason Collins has not yet returned to the game, the Nets' starting lineup remains unchanged from the previous lineup.

The starting lineup for the Bulls is:
Eddie Curry, Kirk Hinrich, Antonio Davis, Chris Duhon and Luol Deng.

Middle circle position.

Duch and the opponent's center Eddie Curry stood on opposite sides.

Looking at Eddie Curry, Duch tried to search for memories about him in later generations. Oh, yes, this guy is called "Baby Shark".

No wonder this guy was so strong at the basket in the first four games.

It can be said.

In the first four games, with the Bulls' current lineup, the Nets can still lose two games to them, and the most critical point of loss is on this little shark.

Eddie Curry watched Duke staring at him, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Because in the previous four games.

Whenever the ball jumps,
He will be compared to Ducci by fans.

The final comparison is that he is ugly, while this Asian kid is a handsome player...

Eddie Curry was heartbroken—

Two basketball players, you don't compare your physical fitness, you are so fucking handsome... superficial!
When the players on both sides took their positions, the referee took a look at the timetable, then put the ball between Duch and Ike Curry, and threw the ball vertically. When the ball reached the top,
drop!
The battle of Tianwang Mountain was sounded.

Snapped!
Ike Curry took the first shot to get the ball for the Bulls.

"Go Bulls!"

"Explode the Nets!"

Bulls point guard Chris Duhon received the ball and quickly rushed to the Bulls' frontcourt.

The Bulls at this time, after Jordan retired, were no longer brilliant.

There are no All-Star players.

But this team is good overall, a stable team with both offense and defense.

Chris Duhon tried to drive inside, but Kidd jumped up and almost missed his pass.

After protecting the ball, Chris Duhon didn't dare to break through again.

The ball was given to power forward Antonio Davis.

The latter rushed to the basket like a bull, and with Eddie Curry in the position, he easily dunked and scored the first goal of the opening game.

2:0
And then, Du Qi and the others discovered that today's Bulls players were extremely active, as if they were really pumped.

The Nets broke the zero-egg record with Carter's dunk on Luol Deng.

When the first quarter is over.

15:10.

The Bulls led by 5 points.

During the break, Kidd asked Ducci because of his "blandness" in the first quarter: "Duqi, are you in bad shape today?"

"You are in a bad state."

"Then how did you score 2 points?"

"..."

Duke was speechless.

In terms of score, his performance in the first quarter was really bad.

Du Qi shot two three-pointers, and without exception, the results were smashing.These two points were obtained from a mid-range shot inside the three-point line.

"Mainly the Bulls' defense was good."

Richard Jefferson seemed to be speaking for Ducci.

at this time.

Coach Painter announced the list of players for the second quarter, without Duke, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd, and let the substitutes play.

The second quarter begins.

The Bulls also carried out player rotation.Almost all rotations.

But seven minutes into the second quarter, the Bulls called a timeout and rotated the players back again.

That is at this time.

The Bulls' inside line began to show off.

Nets substitute center Nenad Kostic felt the pressure, and sweat kept pouring out of his face.

But as if under a spell,
Nenad Kostic was beaten by Eddie Curry!
Whether it was grabbing rebounds, attacking the basket, or blocking shots, Nenad Kostic was almost out of breath under the pressure of Eddie Curry.

When the last second of the second quarter ended.

42 is better than 32!

Bulls center Eddie Curry dunked Nenad Krstic, bringing the double-digit point difference to the second half.

This buckle seemed to be the last straw for Nenad Kostic. An expression of extreme frustration appeared on his face, not to mention how sad he was.

When the Nets cheerleaders come on the court to do a hot dance.

Inside the Nets locker room.

"Sorry, I dragged everyone down."

After listening to Coach Painter's summary of the first half, Nenad Kostic spoke with a choked voice.

at this time.

Du Qi and other Nets players realized that the big man was in tears of frustration.

An NBA player sheds tears…

How much grievance and pressure must this have caused?
"Oh Kostic, don't be sad."

Nenad Krstic is certainly not a sissy player, Painter was the first to comfort him when he saw him crying.

Du Qi was slightly moved.

After these four games, or in this period of time, the Nets' inside line has been carried by this young center.

He silently paid behind the scenes, and the biggest hero is him.

Probably because he felt that this game was very important, Kostic couldn't control his emotions.

When the players comforted Kostic, the latter choked up and said:
"I'm useless.

If I could have stopped the opposing center from dunking on the last shot of the second quarter, the score wouldn't have been double digits.

If this game is lost, I really can't imagine the next game.

Maybe this season, we will stop here..."

When people are vulnerable, it is easier to think more.

Du Qi didn't expect this young center to think so much.

"Du, replace Kostic in the third quarter."

Coach Jesses was also slightly moved. The team played here, it is impossible to be without pressure.Then, as the Nets' short board, the pressure on the backup center is greater.
"Kostich, don't think about anything next, just take a good rest."

"Coach me..."

"Well, it's not like we haven't experienced the double-digit difference."

Jesses soon became more capable, "So everyone, the deficit is only temporary. We will try our best to win this game.

I don't want us to be out of the game and go home fishing by the time our center Collins comes back. "

Intermission is over.

The third quarter begins.

"Look, I'm Du playing...huh? He's going to play center forward?"

"It's interesting. Let me play center again."

Not only the fans at the scene were a little surprised to see Du Qi playing center, but Eddie Curry also raised his eyebrows.

In previous games between the Bulls and the Nets, it was the first time he saw Duch playing center against him.

"I really didn't expect that your Nets team is so weak. You actually started to use a small man to play the inside center position."

Eddie Curry sneered.

"There are still many things you can't think of, and you slowly discover."

Duke responded.

Regardless of the reaction of this "little shark", he ran to his own place.

Kidd and Carter also played.

For Nets fans, although the Nets are 10 points behind, as long as Du's mentality doesn't explode, there won't be a big problem!
The opening of the third quarter was the Nets' possession of the ball.

After Kidd dribbled the ball for halftime, he habitually asked Duke to pass the ball.But seeing Dookie stay at the basket, compared to his small size, he gave up the idea and gave the ball to the backup shooting guard.

The latter has good passing awareness.

Pass the ball to Richard Jefferson.

Richard Jefferson dribbled inward and was interrupted by Antonio Davis when he broke through to the basket.

Du Qi ran to the side to meet him.

Jefferson almost handed the ball to Duke.

Boom!

Du Qi dribbled towards the reasonable collision zone.Antonio Davis ran up to block, Jefferson helped Dookie pick and choose, Dookie broke through, jumped up and shot under the basket in a reasonable collision zone.

Eddie Curry jumped up and threw Geducci.

He was very confident in the shot against Gueducci, thinking that facing a small man like Duchi, the chance of blocking this shot was too high.

but,

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very slapped.

Just when he jumped up and was about to block Du Qi's shot, he saw Du Qi's body leaning back.

"what?!"

Fallback jumper.

Eddie Curry is out.

Swish!
Du Qi made the ball easily, and it was hollow into the net.

"There's still a difference of 8 points!"

"It's great! I can make a fadeaway jumper at the basket."

I don't know.

Du Qi has been practicing this skill in the system's [simulation system] since last season.

Due to the difficulty of the movements, Du Qi practiced for a whole year before he dared to show them off.

slap~
Du Qi fell to the ground, and his basketball shoes made a "chicking" sound as it rubbed against the floor, which sounded very pleasant.

Eddie Curry also fell behind.Du Qi said deliberately:

"Is this ball a surprise? Is it a surprise? Have you ever thought of it?"

"—"

Eddie Curry was so angry that his chest was tight.

Duke remembered,
Eddie Curry was diagnosed with a heart attack this season.

Du Qi was not afraid to piss him off to death, even if he had a heart attack at such a young age, this level of stimulation would not be enough.

"Leave jumper, my new skill of Du??"

"Not necessarily. Lean back occasionally."

Du Qi's score did not kick off the chase.

The offensive of the Bulls behind is still not to be underestimated, especially at the inside basket.

Although Duqi has good jumping ability, he is really not good at playing center.It's not just that you can play center if you have good bounce.

Jesses arranged for him to play center forward, but the real purpose was to take advantage of it.

Such as blocking shots.

Or take advantage of rebounds.

Fortunately.

This Eddie Curry has a high turnover rate, which gave Duke a chance to make the Nets' internal shortcomings not so short.

Thus.

There will be a 7-minute pull battle.

In the 8th minute of the third quarter, the Nets had the ball, and Kidd dribbled the ball looking for an opportunity to pass the ball.Du Qi began to actively move up.

The ball was given to Carter by Kidd.

Carter made a mid-range shot,

boom!
Smash the iron!

"rebound!"

Eddie Curry advanced Carducci's position, but Duqi actively stepped out of the way and did not give him a chance to get stuck.

When the rebound fell and Eddie Curry jumped up to grab it, Duch also jumped up.

The tall and powerful Eddie Curry was about to grab a rebound when suddenly a hand came over his head.

With a snap, the ball was taken away from his head!
Take a closer look, who is it if it's not Du Qi?

"He actually jumped so high??"

Eddie Curry was taken aback.

Du Qi ignored him, and after falling to the ground, he wanted to jump up and make a dunk.But the opponent's power forward Antonio Davis came over, clinging to Du Qi, not giving Du Qi a chance to make a shot.

Huh!
Duch was not reluctant to fight and directed the ball directly to Richard Jefferson on the right side of his body.

Then run up.

Richard holds the ball, stands still with his left foot, and moves his right foot back and forth to look for opportunities to attack.

quickly.

He saw Ducci running towards the left corner and asking him for the ball.

Richard understood and pretended to break through to the right side of the opponent's small forward. After making a fake move to deceive the opponent, he seized the opportunity and passed the ball long distance to Ducci in the left corner.

"not good!"

"Isn't that No. [-] under the basket? Why did he run to the perimeter?"

"Stop him now!"

But it is already late.

Du Qi received the ball, and when he was open, he stepped back decisively beyond the three-point line, jumped up to aim, kick, and shoot.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

"62 to 57!"

"It's still 5 points away!"

"This kid..."

Eddie Curry looked at Duke, eyes full of anger and disbelief.Du Qi glanced at him lightly, then looked away, his eyes were full of provocation, telling him that there are still things you can't think of.

And Du Qi's three-point touch came up.

The journey of chasing points began.

No. 11 minutes and [-] seconds in the third quarter, Du Qi hit the second consecutive three-pointer.

67 is better than 68!

For the first time, the Nets overtook the Bulls.

"The Nets are still very good. As soon as their main force came up in the third quarter, they recovered the double-digit point difference behind and overtook it by 1 point!"

"It's mainly the Asian No. [-]! He's too good!"

At this time in the auditorium.

Michael Jordan couldn't be calm anymore. He covered his mouth with his hands and began to cheer for the Bulls loudly:
"Go Bulls!"

The fans around Jordan heard Jordan cheering for his natal team in person. They were all infected and began to cheer for the Bulls.

Even some Nets fans have begun to defect.

There were even more fans who directly called Jordan's name.

It can be seen that Jordan's influence is very great!
"Ok?"

I heard the sound of cheering for the Bulls on the spot, and many people were shouting the name of "Jordan".

Du Qi and the others understood what was going on.

"What the hell, once Jordan came over, the Nets' home court is no longer the Nets' home court.

In seconds, it becomes the home court of the Bulls! "

"..."

Soon into the fourth quarter.

Originally thought that the home court advantage was taken away by the Bulls, and the Bulls would recover the lost points.

but,

Duch returned to free agency in the fourth quarter.Nets backup center Nenad Kostic came up.

Duke's three-pointer began to bombard the Bulls.

Swish!
Earn three points!

Swish!
Another three points!

In the 8th minute of the fourth quarter.

89 to 80.
Because of Duqi's three-pointer, the Bulls fell behind by 9 points.

Jordan in the auditorium was in a hurry.

The Bulls' bishop called a timeout.

Start changing tactics.

But after returning from the timeout, he was still dunked by Carter, which brought the score difference to 11 points!
In the next game, the Bulls also failed to complete the counterattack.

finally.

98 to 89.
The Nets led by 9 points and won the battle of Tianwangshan.

The Nets' backup center Nenad Kostic was exhaling.

Du Qi came to Eddie Curry's side and deliberately annoyed him:
"You didn't expect us to win this game, did you?"

"you!"
