NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

Chapter 184

The next moment, the opponent was killed.

Then... the next moment!

David Robinson stood at the top of the arc, confused: "Who am I, where am I, I am 7 feet tall, I am almost retired, why do you let me defend the three-point line!"

Popovich dropped his jaw: "No, what's going on? Han Yi is standing outside the arc? I know, I know that you, Han Yi, have the ability to shoot three-pointers, and the accuracy of open three-pointers can even be more than 40%, but are you sure you want to hold the ball and play one-on-one outside the three-point line?"

"This is already a pure small forward technique!"

Popovich has a clear impression. In the first game, it was at this position that McGrady shot Sean Elliott from the three-point line and scored 4 points!

Is the tragedy going to happen again?

Popovich was shocked, and then comforted himself:

"No, no, Han Yi is a pure inside player after all. It is impossible for him to dribble as smoothly as McGrady with this height. If it comes to catching the ball and shooting, Han Yi may be really accurate, but holding the ball and shooting is nothing to be afraid of!"

Then——

Han Yi dribbled the ball continuously between his legs, and when he dribbled to David Robinson's feet, he suddenly pulled up the ball and threw it high!

The ball was so fast from dribbling to shooting that Robinson's feet were staggering. He was going to jump up to block Han Yi, but his brain jumped up, and his body staggered and he sat on the ground with his buttocks!

Then, David Robinson lay on the ground and twisted his body to see a cold light, and the basketball fell into the basket in a perfect arc!

Three-pointer! !

3:2! !

Han Yi pointed to three with his fingers and returned to defense domineeringly!

At this moment, Popovich was dumbfounded:

"Has Han Yi's dribbling ability reached this level?"

On offense, he played as a small forward, and on defense, he directly occupied the inside to face the absolute strong point of the Spurs: Tim Duncan!

After Han Yi scored, he went directly to face Duncan without any hesitation!

No tricks, just the strongest head-on confrontation!

When Duncan saw Han Yi's ferocious look, he suddenly felt that it was not a cost-effective choice to force Han Yi. He had obviously received the ball and passed it out.

But for the Celtics, since Han Yi was in charge of Duncan today, it meant that the perimeter defense was more airtight than before.

McGrady took the lead, replacing Han Yi, who was responsible for roaming defense in the last game, and followed the ball to firmly bite the Spurs' perimeter shooting point.

The Spurs' ball moved around, but they didn't get a single open spot. The only chance from beyond the three-point line was from Avery Johnson, who had only made one three-pointer in the entire season.

Of course, Avery Johnson couldn't shoot, so he had to pass the ball to David Robinson, who was now a space point, and David Robinson had Ben Wallace on him!

Facing Ben Wallace, who had a hard lower body, David Robinson dribbled and hit Ben Wallace, but the result was that he was getting further and further away from the basket...

If David Robinson knew poetry, he would definitely curse: "The children in the south village bully me because I am old and weak." He raised his hand high, reluctantly shot, and of course missed the target!

With Han Yi's blocking, Rodman had no trouble grabbing the rebound, and after Rodman grabbed the rebound, he passed it to Joe Dumars, who made an aerial relay pass!

A green figure flashed under the Spurs' basket!

McGrady was like riding a Hot Wheels!

"Bang!"

A powerful dunk hit the rim and ended the attack!

"Come on, Tim!" Han Yi gently pushed Duncan's back:

"Don't try to hide from me. If you can beat me today, you can take the victory. Otherwise, I will make you cry and call for your mother! There is no third way!"

Duncan didn't need Han Yi to remind him of this. The Spurs did have a lot of three-pointers, but it was still 15 years away from the era of small ball where three-pointers were king!

If the Spurs want to win, it is necessary for Duncan to beat the opponent on the offensive end. It doesn't matter if he can't defend Han Yi on the defensive end. But if he can't beat Han Yi on the offensive end, then the Spurs will really lose!

This time, Duncan no longer forced Han Yi inside, but opened up a step in the opposite direction, faked his body, and shook continuously, trying to end the attack with a jump shot!

This choice was naturally no problem, because Duncan had tried it countless times. The closer he was to the basket, the more terrifying Han Yi's block became. Whether it was strength or speed, it was no match for Han Yi.

When Han Yi was completely at a disadvantage, it would be a reckless act to go to the basket headfirst!

But Han Yi predicted Duncan's prediction!

For ordinary defenders, Duncan's shot was indeed helpless, but for Han Yi——

"Snap!"

A big cap accurately blocked the ball and it flew out of the court.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I don't think your shot is good. Try again!"

Although Duncan's chance of being blocked when rushing to the basket is very high, if Duncan doesn't even have the determination to rush to the basket, then there are very few offensive options left. If he only fights for mid-range shots, Duncan's level is even worse than Kevin Garnett!

The San Antonio Spurs reorganized the offense and gave the ball to Duncan again. Duncan learned his lesson this time. In addition to the fact that Han Yi's blocking height was indeed too terrifying, the offense was too simple. Han Yi had predicted his shot before he even shot it.

This time, Duncan first pretended to attack Han Yi in the paint, and when he had no chance to attack, he suddenly turned around and pretended to shoot. Han Yi opened his hand to block the shot. However, before Duncan shot, he showed a small pass to Avery Johnson who had already cut to the basket!

Avery Johnson didn't stick to the ball, and he shot it towards the basket after getting the ball!

At this time, Han Yi wanted to make up for it, but it was too late, but Avery Johnson's layup was still interfered!

Dennis Rodman didn't jump, but just rubbed Avery Johnson with his body, and Avery Johnson was pushed out of the court like a kite with a broken string!

"Foul, foul!"

Avery Johnson spread his hands and cried to the referee, but the referee ignored him. You don't even kneel down and want such a cheap whistle?

If this level of confrontation under the basket is blown, the referee's whistle will probably be broken!

"Alas!"

Han Yi sighed and said to Duncan: "Tim, you have become soft. You dare not shoot after being blocked once by me in one round? When we were in NCAA, you were blocked by me three times and still dared to fight!"

"Bullshit!" Duncan's face changed: "It was obviously two times, not three times?"

Han Yi: "Yes, yes, yes..."
