Chapter 78 Talent Overwhelms
On the court, Wang Tiejun did not stop because of the commentator's words. After a successful dunk, he did not waste any words or trash talk and just quickly retreated.
David Robinson's fast break ability is even better than that of the Dream. How dare he stop in the frontcourt? If he did that, the short brother Barkley would be blown into slag by Robinson.
Running back to the backcourt, he saw that he retreated quickly, so the Spurs did not launch a fast break and moved forward steadily.
"Look, Charles, I've tried my best to stop him from bullying you, haven't you? Can you give me half of the shots?"
He gasped to Buckley.
“Puff!”
Dan Mali and his companions burst out laughing.
"Get lost! You might as well let me sit on the bench and watch you play." Barkley cursed with a smile.
At this time, the Spurs advanced to the frontcourt, and David Robinson held Wang Tiejun with his left hand and asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing, one step away from the paint area.
Wang Tiejun originally wanted to use the defensive technique to shift the opponent's center of gravity and affect his reception of the ball, but this time he couldn't use it. He couldn't be too far away from the paint area because David Robinson moved too fast. As long as he cut inside and he couldn't get back, it would be all over. He was just hit like that.
The ball came down at an angle to the outside. Robinson stepped out, caught the ball smoothly, and then faced the basket directly.
"He's going to break in and dunk!"
Wang Tiejun was nervous and immediately prepared to retreat.
At this moment, David Robinson, who was holding the ball high with both hands, suddenly leaned over, and his hands also transferred the ball from the top of his head to the floor as he leaned over.
This ball transfer action can completely prevent Wang Tiejun from intercepting his ball.
"It's going to break out!"
Wang Tiejun's eyes narrowed and he took a step back slightly.
At this moment, David Robinson, who was in a leaning position, suddenly crossed his right foot diagonally towards the bottom corner and made a breakthrough with the ball.
This leap of his has two major advantages. One is that the speed is very fast, and the other is that the stride is very large.
This is his most classic signature move, the starting action for the probing jump shot.
Few people could keep up with his long strides. Even Da Meng, who was known for his agility, was beaten like a wooden stake by him. He had used this move on Da Meng many times and it could be regarded as a killer move against him.
Once the defender is unable to react, he will directly break through.
But if the defender retreats early, that's just fine, because this is a tentative jump shot, and the opponent's early retreat allows him to create more distance between himself and the defender.
This move is a tentative step breakthrough tactic that can only be used on the outside, but he, a 216-centimeter center, has turned it into his signature killer move, which shows that his talent is truly astonishing.
"Blast him!"
the on-site commentator shouted excitedly.
"retreat!"
Wang Tiejun, who was on full alert, stepped back reflexively.
But at this moment, David Robinson suddenly retracted his right foot and jumped up.
"It's over!"
Wang Tiejun, who was retreating, saw that David Robinson was faking a breakthrough and actually shooting. Out of instinct, he stopped retreating reflexively. However, his upper body could not control the trend of retreating. The coordination between the upper and lower parts was not good, and the result was...
"brush!"
The ball splashed, and David Robinson used his best, most skilled, and most classic tentative step jump shot to hit a two-pointer.
"Yeah! David is humiliating that Chinese kid. In front of him, Lao K is as clumsy as a stupid wooden stake. Hey, Lao K, do you understand what I am saying? You are a wooden stake..."
The live commentator's excited roar rolled over the SBC Center, leading the home atmosphere of the stadium and making the entire arena burst into applause.
"Ah!"
After succeeding, David Robinson looked down at Wang Tiejun who was knocked to the ground by him, and curled a hint of cold disdain, which was a mockery from the bottom of his heart.
What Old K? He only has a little strength. The only result for a guy like him in front of him is that he will be crushed by his talent.
“Fuck!”
Seeing Robinson's disdainful expression, Lao Wang was so angry that he swore and quickly got up.
"You damn super centers, sooner or later I'm going to pin you to the ground and rub you to death," he cursed inwardly.
"Old K, give him one back."
Back to the offensive end, as soon as he reached the low post on the left wing, Barkley, who had just got the ball, threw it to him.
"Watch me." He shouted in a deep voice.
"Snapped!"
David Robinson is indeed the fastest among the three super centers. Just when Wang Tiejun received the ball, he suddenly took a step forward, intercepted the ball, then rushed forward and started a fast break.
"Son of a bitch!"
Comrade Lao Wang's eyes were red with anger. Damn Robinson, he was being tortured to death!
Facing such a powerful super center, he was too careless. Before the end of the first quarter, he was intercepted twice while passing the ball. It was too bad.
Who can defend a 216cm tall center who plays a fast break at the level of a top guard? The answer is no one.
Barkley followed, but he had already committed a foul and didn't dare to move. At the same time, with his height, he couldn't block David Robinson's shot. He could only watch the opponent slam dunk in front of him.
Although the two guards, Knight and Dan Maalley, also caught up, they were even more unable to defend. They were simply not qualified to compete with the fast break of this big center.
As for small forward Ceballos, like Wang Tiejun, he was too slow and couldn't keep up with Robinson's fast break rhythm.
"Old K, be careful when catching the ball. Control the defender and protect your receiving line." Head coach Paul Westphal shouted on the sidelines.
Wang Tiejun nodded repeatedly. There was nothing wrong with Barkley's pass. It was indeed his mistake. He actually let David Robinson get in front of him. He was too careless!
In the next few rounds, he didn't get any offensive opportunities, and Robinson played the ball several times and had several fast breaks, but he consumed too much energy and didn't attack again. Both of them were replaced in the 8th minute .
In the previous rounds, he made 2 of 2 shots, scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, and the turnover data was not counted on him.
Robinson made 6 of 7 shots and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 13 points, 1 rebound and 2 steals, which was far beyond his performance.
Sitting back on the bench, he wiped the sweat off his face with a white towel, then covered his head and began to summarize the situation of this half of the game.
