NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The key is to win the game.

Dikembe Mutombo's defense is definitely better when he is paired with Jordan. After all, compared with Han Yi, Mutombo can only defend!

So Mutombo blocked Kobe Bryant twice in one game!

This is too, too, too important for Jordan.

Looking at Mutombo now, and then looking at Han Yi sitting in a daze off the court, Jordan is really angry!

"Look at Mutombo, then look at Han Yi, how can they compare? How come Mutombo only knows how to defend the inside and slap Kobe away? What about you, Han Yi? Just standing outside the three-point line, what's the use! There's no one in front of you and I can't pass the ball, idiot!"

Jordan only dared to think about this in his mind, and didn't dare to really say it to Han Yi.

He didn't dare to say it because he was afraid, but because he knew that this statement was not to criticize Han Yi, but to express that he was showing his cowardice and telling this junior who didn't respect him that he was really old.

Therefore, he could easily imagine Han Yi's answer:

"Why should I help you defend Kobe? Aren't you two playing ace against ace?"

Of course, being able to think of this proves that Jordan already knows Han Yi a little, but not very well.

Because if Han Yi really wanted to answer this question, he would have to add one more sentence:

"How can I help you? Didn't you see that you rushed into the inside and O'Neal and the others gave way?"

"No way, no way, you don't think you can really get in with your old arms and legs?"

When Mutombo came up, everything was self-evident. Jordan didn't need to ask Mutombo to defend Kobe, Mutombo had already arranged Kobe clearly.

Kobe attacked twice in a row and got two blocks. He began to hesitate in the third attack. Of course, Kobe hesitated not because he didn't dare to attack, but because O'Neal began to roar in the inside again:

"Damn bastard, give me the ball quickly, I can easily beat this African!"

In fact, it is indeed possible. O'Neal pushed his body and Mutombo beside him was squeezed out!

Kobe knew clearly in his heart that it would be more likely to score if he gave the ball to an inside giant like O'Neal rather than letting him continue to challenge the African mountains!

But Kobe still didn't pass the ball to O'Neal, but passed it to Kevin Garnett who was cutting to the basket!

O'Neal blocked Mutombo, and the only one left in the Eastern Conference's basket was Shawn Kemp who had no intention of defending!

Shawn Kemp symbolically stretched out his arms, and Kevin Garnett whizzed past and violently abused the basket!

Facing the exasperated O'Neal, Kobe smiled slightly and high-fived the excited Garnett!

"Cut, I thought you were in the Lakers?" Kobe said disdainfully:

"If I don't pass it to you in the Lakers, I really can't make the shot if I pass it to others, but now there are not too many people who can help me make the shot!"

It was very embarrassing for Jordan, he could only continue to attack by himself!

It's not that he didn't want to pass the ball to Mutombo, the problem is that as long as a high enough pillar is erected under the basket, Mutombo can be firmly blocked, not to mention that there are now three thick and movable pillars standing under the basket in the West!

Of course, Jordan could choose to pass the ball to Rainman Kemp. This guy's dunking is his specialty. At the beginning of the game, Jordan fed him a ball like this, and he was full.

But Jordan found that when he chose to let Han Yi sit on the sidelines and let Mutombo on the court, Rainman Kemp was not so good at dunking!

After all, Kemp relies on rushing into the inside line. As for the mid-range, Kemp can do it, but he can only shoot, not elite.

And if they are all mid-range shots, why do you have to shoot Kemp? I, Jordan, can shoot it myself, right?

Garnett swept the free throw line with super fast footwork, Malone stood on Kemp's shoulders, O'Neal and Mutombo fought in the basket, or Mutombo suffered unilaterally in the basket...

In front of this terrifying inside combination in the West, the inside really has no chance at all.

A damn thought flashed through Jordan's mind:

Is it possible that those simple balls Han Yi just handled were not simple at all?

You know, when Han Yi was there just now, he took care of O'Neal and Malone at the same time on the defensive end, and on the offensive end he either opened up space or cut directly to the basket to create dunk opportunities.

At that time, Jordan, who had the ball, had many choices. Facing O'Neal who was guarding the basket, he passed the ball to Han Yi. Han Yi could not only pull the opponent out, but even complete a one-on-one isolation even when the opponent's defense was extremely tight.

Dunk!

It was because Han Yi seemed to do it so easily that Jordan subconsciously thought that he had attracted enough attention to make Han Yi play so easily.

But when Han Yi went down, Jordan's own attractiveness naturally did not change, but why did this game suddenly become difficult to play?

Such an easy ball, you Mutombo and Kemp are both All-Stars, and they are senior All-Stars, how can you be worse than an All-Star rookie? ?

Jordan played a few more shots, and his hit rate began to gradually decline. The anger he had just had with Han Yi had gradually dissipated. With this anger, the feeling of shooting was gone.

Phil Jackson also took the opportunity to replace Jordan, who was unwilling to admit his age and was actually very old. With a big wave of his hand, he replaced the Georgetown University duo in the second half of the third quarter:

Han Yi + Allen Iverson!

This All-Star Game is the first time for the two young talents of Georgetown, and it is also the first time for them to be on the court at the same time!

Although they haven't played a proper game together for more than two years, they are still much better than these temporary All-Stars when they work together!

No gestures or even eye contact are needed. When Han Yi and Iverson, the only two guys with 90+ speed in the whole game, run at full speed, you will find that although they are all top players in the league, they seem to have been slowed down!

Before others can react, Iverson throws the ball high into the air, leading a giant to fall out of thin air!

"Boom!"

A dunk blows up the whole court, and it blows up not only the group of screaming spectators off the court, but also the group of All-Stars on the court!

"Oh, my God, is this speed really real?"

When Han Yi completed the dunk under the basket with a domineering attitude, the three inside players of the Western All-Stars didn't even run to the basket, let alone defend!

Kevin Garnett, who ran the fastest, always thought that his speed was top-notch among seven-foot tall people, but he only ran to the free throw line when Han Yi had already finished dribbling the ball.

As for O'Neal and Malone, they could only run back before they even reached half the court.

Fast, really really fast!
