NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

There are certainly reasons why Hanamichi is so confident.

[Gorilla] Ewing, this season, accounts for 31% of the offense under the basket, 32.5% of the offense near the paint area, and 24% of the offense from mid-range shots.

Especially after [Shark] O'Neal came to his team, in order to create a one-on-one offensive space under the basket for O'Neal, he increased his mid-range and near-two-point shots.

However, Ewing's hit rate is not good. In addition to the 60% hit rate of shots under the basket, the hit rate of mid-range shots is only 35%.

This also includes the shots made with [Gorilla Jump Step].

This regular season hit rate is not to mention compared with Olajuwon, who has agile footsteps, even the [Elbow Opening] Mailman Malone and the future [Iron Blood Jump Shot] KG are better than Ewing.

As we all know, the defensive intensity in the playoffs is much higher than the regular season, especially in this 90s when muscles fight each other.

Almost all stars will have a lower hit rate, which is fatal for an inside player who relies more and more on jump shots!

Once a shot is missed at a critical moment, he will be dubbed as a "soft egg". Even the German tank Nowitzki, who will lead the team alone in the future, won the title of "soft egg" when he defeated the Heat Big Three alone in 2011.

So this is why Ewing, who has not won a championship yet, is considered to be a star who is weak at critical moments among the four centers.

Of course, this does not mean that Ewing is really bad.

One thing for one thing, Ewing has the necessary skills for a perfect center in both offense and defense.

On the offensive end, he has heavy dunks under the basket, some use technical footwork, and some use body crushing. He can play pick-and-roll and mid-range jump shots.

On the defensive end, he has a strong sense of rim protection, rebounding position, off-ball position, pick-and-roll, etc. He also has willpower and leadership temperament.

Although there may be many things that are not top-notch due to knee injuries, he really knows a lot!

It is also known as the "Center Textbook".

However, Ewing, who was born in 1962, is 34 years old this year. As a center, this age is already the age of the sun.

Even if Ewing did not have a turning point in his career with a wrist fracture next year or the year after, from a God's perspective, the peak period left for this veteran is only these two years!

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why O'Neal is happy to stay in the New York Knicks.

Without further ado, the first thing that Huadao wants to target is Ewing's shooting habits!

In the three days after defeating the Magic, Huadao, with the help of the team trainer, joined O'Neal to the Knicks, and conducted targeted research and training on Ewing's shooting habits and technical movements.

Finally found:

Ewing habitually leaves the position in the paint area, but shoots from the left waist of the restricted area and near the bottom line of the paint area.

He has good left and right hands and can temporarily change the direction of his back turn according to the defense of the defensive player, but all of this is due to his solid positioning.

Stuck the opponent, blocked the defense, and then completed the attack!

Once the opponent is blocked by extremely strong defense, more than 80% of the offensive skills of this traditional center template [Gorilla] will be stillborn.

His signature ~ [Bunny Jump] suspected of traveling is also a kind of helplessness that cannot shake off the defense.

On the court, the Knicks' offensive round.

Sure enough, Ewing landed in the low position on the left wing and actively opened his hands to ask.

Seeing this, the Knicks' point guard John Starks immediately passed the ball to Ewing.

[Shark] smacked his lips in the penalty area and said nothing, but stuck Charles Oakley to the right side of the penalty area.

Seeing this, Hanamichi immediately pushed behind Ewing.

Having fought with Ewing once, he knew that he could not use brute force to push, otherwise he would be thrown away by the "decrepit" old guy in front of him with a nimble turn.

So this time he chose the disgusting cross-step defense, using his left leg to lunge forward and block between Ewing's legs, while his right leg was half a meter away from him, ready to prevent his turning breakthrough at any time.

This is the first step to block Ewing's back.

Ewing was very uncomfortable with this posture, to be precise, because he felt that he had not yet blocked the rookie behind him.

Although his back was facing Hanamichi, he had fought before and knew that the guy behind him was not much less powerful than him.

Especially behind this move, the defensive coefficient was absolutely full!

"My offensive power is only 3,000, and his defensive strength is at least 10,000!"

At the moment, Ewing could not block Hanamichi, and he could not predict Hanamichi's next defense.

Ewing, who was riding a tiger, really had a hard time dealing with the "hot mountain" in his hand.".

But in the first attack of the playoffs, the team must not give up the ball no matter what. This is Ewing's bottom line as the leader of the team!

Of course, it can't start with "Bunny Jump". If it is called for traveling, it will be too damaging to morale, and the fat guy who is "black and hard" will also laugh at it.

"Don't be scared by a rookie, you must attack!"

So, Ewing leaned back tentatively with his back, making a posture of a tough back-to-back.

Even the commentator on the scene was looking forward to Ewing's next back-to-back. After all, Hanamichi and Ewing are both 214cm tall and only 2kg different in weight. It can be said that Ewing's back-to-back has no other advantages except for the slightly wider frame.

"This must be a fierce collision! "

But Hanamichi knew very well that if it was a back-to-back, the [gorilla] in front of him would never try to probe.

Like Takenori Akagi, Ewing would never show mercy when he was back-to-back. Probing? That didn't exist!

Sure enough, after a back-to-back collision, Ewing suddenly turned to face the basket and stood up to shoot a jump shot.

Hanachi hurriedly stepped forward with his right foot, stepped up, and with his superior bounce speed, he used his fingertips to scratch the bottom of the basketball.

The basketball fell in an obvious arc in the air, and it was definitely not able to reach the basket from the strength.

However, the [big diesel engine] O'Neal on the right side of the penalty area stuck with Charles Oakley to the center of the penalty area, and jumped as hard as a [shark out of the sea], completing an aerial relay dunk across the league's famous [evil man]!

"Oh, well done. "

The Knicks' home fans and commentators cheered excitedly, but the object of the cheers was not Ewing, the core of the Knicks.

It was the "black and hard" fat man who ran back to the backcourt with his arms open!

Although Hanamichi failed to completely block the Knicks' scoring, he blocked Ewing's shot +1, so he didn't return empty-handed.

So he looked at Ewing with amusement and said:

"What a pity~Patrick, it seems that the Knicks team will soon change hands!"

"It's no wonder, as the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead, and the waves ahead may die on a beach! "

The second half of the sentence was said by Hanamichi, who pretended to wipe his sweat by pulling the corner of his clothes and covering his mouth.

Born in Jamaica and later turned into a "pure" American, Ewing and the flower-growing family are not related at all, so he doesn't quite understand the extended meaning of this sentence, but he heard the "dies" from Hanamichi's mouth clearly.

"Rookie, you will pay the price for your outspokenness!"

Ewing finally held back the anger on his forehead. If he was so easily angered, he would not be a superstar who has been famous for many years!

Hanachi looked at Ewing who was returning to defense and shook his head with regret. After all, it is much easier to deal with a mad [gorilla] than to deal with one of the four centers.

"What a pity!"

In fact, this is also the cultural difference between China and the United States. If Hanamichi had greeted not Ewing himself, but his mother or his wife who tasted like donuts, then it is estimated that this game would not have to be played, and he would have been directly in the octagonal cage, right!
