Chapter 190 Jordan Layup
Chapter 190 Jordan Layup
When Jordan was playing, if his layup was described in one word, then I would choose to hesitate.
What do you mean?
Because when watching Jordan play, especially when he was young, he can often see that after he enters the penalty area, facing eight arms in front of his eyes, he doesn't take the initiative to touch these arms with his arms, but flies in the air. In the air, and then hesitantly consider whether to go left or right, and often have to make two or three moves in the air, tossing and turning, avoiding one arm, and then hitting the ball.
It took such a lot of effort, and there was no penalty. It was a waste of energy, and there was a risk of injury. Tell me, is Jordan a fool?
However, it is precisely this style of play that attracts the attention of fans. People spend money every night to watch this kind of offense, not a swinging arm, not a beard-level foul, and it is not when no one is touching. The magical skill of flying three meters away under any circumstances.
Of course, with Li Weisi's bouncing, if you want to think about how to make moves in the air, you may have already landed on the floor after finishing the first one.
What does an exasperated Jordan look like?It is what it is now.
Facing Li Weisi's defense, Jordan no longer passed the ball this time, but faced Li Weisi with his chest down, posing in his classic three-threat pose.
Jordan, who is 10cm taller than Li Weisi, has a lower center of gravity than Li Weisi at this time, like a cheetah, ready to go, as if it will explode at any time.
What needs to be said here is that, regardless of Jordan's low center of gravity when he was doing three threats, he did not lower his center of gravity by bending his knees, but by pressing his shoulders.
The most important point of this three-threat with the ball is to press the shoulders and chest down, and it is the chest down to the maximum. Only in this way can your action be more like a breakthrough.
Therefore, when doing three threats, you must pay attention to balance your chest and shoulders. You can feel your shoulders trying to pull you back, because when you don't practice enough, you will always want to push If you lower your center of gravity at this time, you will find that your movements don't look like a breakthrough at all, and the power of the three threats will be greatly reduced.
At this time, Jordan lowered his center of gravity even lower than Li Weisi, but maintained the threat of a breakthrough. Every move was the embodiment of sweat in daily training.
After determining Li Weisi's defensive position, Jordan immediately twisted his hips to create a breakthrough angle, and at the same time kicked the ground with force. For Li Weisi, Jordan didn't need to fake any moves at all, and directly sprinted quickly with the first step to seize the advantage. Although Li Weisi's consciousness was already aware, Even his footsteps kept up with Jordan, but because the position was preempted by Jordan, he was passed by Jordan in one step.
After throwing Li Weisi away, Jordan went inside. At this time, both Olajuwon and Chambers had blocked Jordan.
Then Jordan threw himself in the air, and then turned left and right in the air for a while, hesitating, and the defender didn't know which side to defend.
In the end, Jordan made three moves in the air, chose to pull the bar from Olajuwon's armpit, and sent the ball up. The basketball hit the board and went into the basket, which was so picturesque.
This beautiful layup, of course, has the factor that Olajuwon did not go all out to defend, but the combination of Jordan's extreme talent and technology is the most important reason why this layup can appear.
After scoring the goal, Jordan finally vented his anger. When returning to halftime, he passed by Li Weisi and said, "Rookie, did you see that goal? How do you feel?"
"I see, you jump really high!" Li Weisi praised sincerely.
"Jump... who the hell asked you this?"
"Ah? Isn't it this? That's the technical move? The technique is very good, and it can be ranked in the top 20 of the entire league!" Li Weisi further said.
"Top 20?" Jordan couldn't believe his ears, his nose was almost crooked: "Then you give me one too?"
"I can't come, I can't jump as high as you! Your technique of pulling the bar is not difficult, but you can jump high and can continuously perform movements in the air. I can't!" Li Weisi generously admitted that he did it himself. Without such a layup, he even thoughtfully explained it to Jordan.
But when these passed into Jordan's ears, it had another meaning.
"Hmph, a hard-talking rookie!" However, Jordan, who wanted to spout trash talk, thought for a long time but found that there was no way to spit it out, so he could only taunt and leave silently.
Seeing Jordan leaving angrily, Li Weisi was also at a loss. He admitted his own shortcomings and praised the other party. Why is the other party angry?This Jordan is really rude!
In the second half of the second quarter, Jordan, who started to wake up, was no longer something Li Weisi could defend against, but Li Weisi still played seriously like a normal person, without any disturbance in his heart.
After Jordan made a goal, after spraying trash a few times, he also felt dull, as if you were sprinting violently, but your opponent was indifferent and even snoring, which not only made you full of frustration If it is serious, it will make you doubt your ability.
That's how Jordan feels right now.
But fortunately, the second quarter ended soon, and Jordan and Li Weisi did not have too many opportunities to match up.
But even so, the two contributed many classic goals to each other in just a few minutes of confrontation, which made the fans talk about it so much that they were still discussing it endlessly during the halftime break.
At the end of the half, the score was 70:65, and the Western Stars led by 5 points.
It can be said that just from the first half, this All-Star Game was lackluster.
Jordan, who was the ticket leader, played well for just a few minutes. The top three players in the league, Bird, Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, were all paddling, and none of them took this game seriously.
This also directly led to the best performance of the Western Stars in the first half by Li Weisi and Chambers. Li Weisi scored 10 points and 3 assists, and Chambers scored 16 points.
The best performer of the Eastern Stars was actually Irving, who was about to retire, with 12 points.
It can be said that if it weren't for the matchup between Li Weisi and Jordan in the second half of the second quarter, the fans would even almost fall asleep.
In the NBA at this time, after halftime, there is no halftime show with as many tricks as later, there are no big-name star performances, no fancy dunks, no sympathy shirts, and no mascot performances.
You know, at this time in the entire league, there are only a handful of teams with mascots. The mascots that were really born are the goblins of the Celtics, Benny the Bulls of the Bulls, Bongo of the Bucks, and the mascots of the Spurs. The Coyotes and the Hawks' Harry Hawks.
As for the supersonic mascot Scoo bear, it will not appear for the first time until 1993.
But after all, it was the halftime break of the All-Star game, and there were still hot cheerleading performances!
