basketball forever

Chapter 98 Start the fight!
beep!
A whistle blew and the game began.

"Oh oh oh!"

Amid the cheers of the Kings fans, the referee threw the ball high.

However, it was the Wizards who grabbed the first wave of possession.

Kristen Laettner dialed the ball back and directly passed it into the hands of Wang Xiaohui in the backcourt.

"Wang, you should be more selfish."

Before the game, the coach said such words to Wang Xiaohui. On the court, Wang Xiaohui himself wanted to try more.

So, when Wang Xiaohui had just dribbled the ball across the half court, taking advantage of the fact that Mike Bibby, who was defending him on the opposite side, didn't pay attention, Wang Xiaohui pulled up his shot prominently.

"Wow! This ball, Wang shot directly, this ball, is it too hasty?"

The off-court commentator Gao Cass directly said that he was not optimistic about Wang Xiaohui's hasty shot this time.

really,

Bang!
Wang Xiaohui's three-pointer hit the basket.

flew away.

In this way, Wang Xiaohui failed to make a three-pointer, and the touch seemed a little hard.

You know, before the warm-up stage, Wang Xiaohui's shooting percentage was very high, but it's useless to be accurate before the game, you have to be accurate on the field.

Wang Xiaohui came to the field to play, but he felt a lot worse.

This is the difference on the court before the game. Although you are well prepared, you still can't show your best self on the court.

This is nothing more than a normal thing, and NBA stars cannot guarantee that they will be in their best condition every day.

However, the scene was an away game, and the Kings fans booed wildly at Wang Xiaohui's confident goal from this country.

Wang Xiaohui missed the goal, and there was a huge roar at the scene.The home fans should be happy when the opponent's main players fail to score.

"Whoa! Well played, one more!"

"Asian boy, continue your outstanding performance, we are optimistic about you."

"Is this the player who is on the MVP list with Chris? Why do I feel like they checked thousands of miles?"

"Seeing Wang's performance, what I want to say is: that's it?"

"The Wizards are only a strong team in the East after all. Now that the West is strong and the East is weak, even if it is the No.2 Wizards in the East, if they want to make waves in the West, it is still a daydream."

The huge sound cheered and thundered at the scene. This is the passion and hostility from the enthusiastic Sacramento fans, as well as their yearning and determination for the championship.

Regardless of any opponent, as long as they appear in this arena, the only hope for the Kings fans is that the home team will crush the opponent!

On the court, Divac scored an offensive rebound.

Originally, according to the past, this was a very good chance to counterattack, but Wang Xiaohui's shot was too sudden, neither the Wizards jersey nor the foreign players were ready, and they were still a little confused, so everyone didn't react.

The Kings squandered a good opportunity on a fast-break counter.

However, it doesn't matter, the Kings' offense can always play impressively.They are very good at fast break and counterattack, but positional warfare is also their forte.

Mike Bibby dribbled the ball across the half court slowly and steadily. He was not in a hurry to attack, but controlled steadily, not to be robbed by Wang Xiaohui on the opposite side.

While holding the ball, Bibby began to find people.

Who did you find?
Of course, they are the important organizers of the team's Princeton system, the big men Divac and Webber.

This time, Bibby turned to Chris Webber.

"Chris!"

Bibby bypassed Wang Xiaohui and passed the ball to Chris Webber.

Frontcourt, high post, where Webb receives a pass from Mike Bibby.

Jarhi Dee White was half a step away from Webb,
Seeing the long arms raised by Jarhidi White, Weber completely ignored them.

Didn't Wang Xiaohui hit a ball just now by surprise?Turning around, Webb returned one too.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Weber raised his hand without hesitation.As soon as he raised his hand, he threw the ball.

Straight arm shot!

This is Chris Webber's unique shooting trick!

A straight-arm shot like Chris Webber is very rare in the NBA.

Among Wang Xiaohui's acquaintances, who like this trick and use it very well, is the god of war Liu Yudong, and after that is the future superstar of Chinese basketball, Dayao.

Both are masters of straight-arm shooting.

God of War Liu Yudong even has a jump shot with straight arms and knees.

Even with Dayao's long arms, it was difficult to prevent Liu Yudong's move.

And Dayao is also in the future, relying on such a trick to shoot, he will flourish in the NBA.

Dayao is indeed tall, but his bounce is actually not outstanding, and his bounce speed is still very slow.

Straight-arm shooting is one of his killer moves.Even if the jump height is not too high, he can hit it easily.

In fact, this is also a coup for him to maximize his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

It is to use one's own height advantage to see whoever is second.

It is with this kind of shooting that Dayao has played a world in the NBA.

And Webber is now the best straight-arm shooter in the NBA.

With his height, bounce and wingspan, it is not so easy to defend his shots.

That is almost impossible.

look,

On the court, Jahidi White's reaction speed was actually not slow at all, but even though it quickly blocked it, it was still too slow.

Jarhi Dee White couldn't touch Webber's shot at all!
Chris Webber's straight-arm shot was released from too high, too high.

What can Jarhi Dee White do?
The only thing to do is tennis sigh.

Like Jarhi Dee White, the fans in the audience are watching the ball.

Following the eyes of the public, the basketball flew into the basket very well.

Whoosh!
Basketball hit the net.

hit!

0-2
The Kings opened the scoring at home.

Good start!

"Wow!!! Good shot, Chris, I knew you were the best!"

"On the other side, have you seen it? This is the MVP player, this is our King Chris!"

"Young people are just too young. Compared with our Chris, there is still a big gap."

"In today's game, Chris had such a good touch at the beginning. I think we have a high probability of accepting the fruits of victory in this game."

On the field, Chris Webber, who got a good start, raised his arms happily to celebrate the goal. With a little smile in his eyes, he stared straight at Wang Xiaohui's direction.

Although Chris Webber didn't say anything, the meaning was already very obvious.

'Boy, did you see that?This is how shots are made. '

Wang Xiaohui slashed fiercely without fear.

"The game has just begun, and you will suffer later."

Wang Xiaohui wanted to make a good effort, but the competition backfired.

Afterwards, Wang Xiaohui thought of various ways to score points, and wanted to return a ball well, but in the end, he missed several balls in a row.

On the contrary, on the Kings side, the more they play, the better.Especially Chris Webber, Webber led the Kings to hit several good shots frequently.

After a few rounds, the score on the field became 7-12
The Kings started off with some nice leads.

Of course, after the Wizards missed several offenses, Wang Xiaohui didn't continue to fight hard, but created a few good opportunities for his teammates, so he scored 7 points and was not pulled away by the opponent.

The Wizards failed to rely on Wang Xiaohui to score a goal, but relied on the same very young Richard Hamilton to score several mid-range shots.

5 points, the Wizards trailed by 5 points in the opening 5 minutes.

This point difference is neither too big nor too small, just so-so.

At this point, the ball is in the hands of the Kings.

The Kings offense once again hit the Wizards' backcourt.

Also in the high position, the Kings' tried-and-tested big man high position support tactics were used again at this time.

Weber!

Webb got the ball again in the high post on the left.

Catch the basketball with both hands and raise it high, as long as one raises his hand, this guy will throw the ball out!

Behind Weibo, Jia Xidi White couldn't reach at all, but he still wanted to interfere desperately.

He knew that this guy, Weber, could come at any time.

Webber felt good today, and Jahidi White didn't want to give the opponent any chance.

When Jahidi White kept interfering with the movement, Weber sneaked a corner of his mouth, and suddenly raised the ball in his hand.

At this time, Jahidi White, who has a good bounce speed, suddenly jumped up and jumped to the basketball!

In the end, it was a fake move by the opponent, and Jarhidi White was shaken.

Chris Webber didn't intend to shoot the ball at all.

Weber took the raised ball back and retracted it. Weber lowered his center of gravity and moved to the side. When he moved this way, the Wizards' defense had to make adjustments immediately. Then, he directly found the point where the ball was shot. Chance.

In an instant, Weber spotted Mike Bibby who had an opportunity over there.

Without any grievances, Weber passed it directly to the teammate who cut in.

Mike Bibby!

Mike Bibby took advantage of Wang Xiaohui's side to help defend, and rushed in from behind Wang Xiaohui, rushing into the inside line.

The Wizards have Kristen Laettner alone at the basket in the backcourt.

Faced with the Wizards inside big man Kristin - Laettner, Mike Bibby did not show timidity, directly rushed up.

When Laettner was about to give Bibby a hot pot, Bibby played the ball with self-knowledge.

Instead of attacking Laettner, he hit the ball back from his crotch.

Then Bibby's own men stepped out of the way.

As soon as he moved away, Leitner saw the person behind Bibby.

Chris Webb!
Bibby's pass was looking for Chris Webber who followed behind!

Without paying attention to Mike Bibby, Kristen Laettner, the big man inside the Wizards, quickly turned his attention to Chris Webber.

However, Chris Webber, who has a buffer opportunity, can be said to be menacing, making people mistakenly think that he is really going to attack,
But, no!

Mike Bibby, who got the opportunity to attack before, did not choose to attack reluctantly, and Chris Webber, who followed up, did not choose to attack the basket reluctantly.

So how does he do it?
I saw Chris Webber secretly passing the ball from behind, and it was given to Peja who was ambushing at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line at this time!
Because Mike Bibby and Chris Webber assaulted the inside, almost all the Wizards' defenders were pulled into the penalty area, and the outside players got huge open opportunities.

"Peja, vote!"

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the outside Yugoslav marksman Peja Stojanovic raised his hand and threw it!

The Wizards player Hamilton who was defending Peja hurriedly chased him out, but his defense was still half a beat behind.

Yugoslav sharpshooter Peja's ball has already been shot at this time.

Hamilton's long arm failed to touch this, and he could only turn around and look at the ball and sigh.

Peja's shooting is famous in Sacramento.

Seeing his three-point shot, all the Kings fans in the audience raised their hands high and pretended to make a three-point goal.
Sure enough, basketball once again obediently followed the script of the Kings fans and jumped into the net.

Whoosh!
Three-point hollow hit!

At this time, the score of the two sides came to 7-15
8 points difference.

8 points, 9 points, such a score is very dangerous, as long as one ball, the difference between the two sides will change drastically,
If the point difference reaches double digits, then it will be a heavy psychological blow to the lagging side.

This is not the kind of game in later generations, where you can play a high attack casually and then complete the comeback.

There are many comebacks in basketball in this era, but there are really not many.

As long as you play a good situation at the beginning, you can almost control the situation steadily and know how to win the game.

Like Dayao's later teams, why did they bring so much pain to Chinese fans?
It is because their team was overturned in the fourth quarter when they took the lead every time.

It was a painful experience again and again, so don't be too impressed.

"Yeah! Good shot! Three-point shooting, you are the best! If you participate in the three-point contest this year, I think you will definitely be the champion."

"Peja, you are indeed our sharpshooter, why is this hand so steady?"

"Peja, so handsome! You are worthy of the Yugoslavia national team."

The Kings fans in the stands applauded one after another, and cheered for Peja, the home team.

The home field has such benefits. The fans always think about the home team and cheer for the home team all the time.

Even when they were behind, they were able to rely on the unremitting support of the fans to persist until the end and achieve a comeback.

On the field, the happy Peja smiled and gave Chris Webber a high five when the strike came.

"Brother, good pass!"

"Hehe, you did a good job!"

Although Weber was celebrating the goal with Peja in front of him, his eyes couldn't help looking to that side again.

Who is that over there?
Isn't it Wang Xiaohui who is holding the ball forward not far from the side?
"Ca! Your uncle!"

Wang Xiaohui came over slowly with the dribble, and cursed a few words in his heart.

For some reason, Wang Xiaohui felt a little irritable today.

Can't help being irritable.

The irritability can easily affect his performance on the court.
