Chapter 80: Proper Use of Elbow Strike
He took advantage of the opponent's weakness in entanglement defense. That is, when the entanglement was too tight, as long as his shot was sudden, Robinson had no way to jump up and defend in the first time.
This ball was made after a back-to-the-basket attempt failed, which is of great significance. It is an improvement in experience. Through this attack, he has a better understanding of offense, and I believe it can directly improve his offensive strength.
This attack gave him more offensive options when facing this kind of defense in the future. He thought that maybe the system had now raised the level of his low-post and close-range offensive capabilities.
Coming to the defensive end, the Spurs had no fast break yet, so he took the opportunity to open the system and take a look.
"Haha, it's really improved?"
Seeing that his low-post close-range attack was improved from level 70 to level 71, he instantly became excited. This proved that his feeling was correct, because because of this ball, his strength improved.
But on the defensive end, he still couldn't defend David Robinson, and he was beaten by Robinson tonight.
At the end of the first half, the score was 52:56 and the Suns were still trailing by 4 points.
Wang Tiejun made 4 of 5 shots in 11 minutes, scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 foul. The two ball-catching errors were not counted on him. In addition, he did not get a single attack today and did not have enough rebounds.
Robinson, who was on the opposite side, played for 17 minutes in two quarters, made 9 of 13 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 2 steals and 1 foul. His efficiency was amazing tonight.
"Rookie, this is the difference between you and me, do you see it clearly?"
Wang Tiejun walked into the player tunnel, and David Robinson happened to be in front of him. The latter stopped for a moment and said to him after Wang Tiejun came up.
"I understand now. You are just a woman. If you have the guts, confront me head-on. What's the point of always pulling and tugging?" Wang Tiejun said angrily.
He was also very angry. In fact, Robinson's confrontation with him tonight was no less than that between Dream and him, but Robinson's confrontation was different. It was not a hard fight, but a tug-of-war. The intensity was also not small, and the two had more opportunities to elbow each other.
"You damned rookie, how dare you call me a bitch?"
Robinson's face trembled. In a rage, he instantly tore off his humble face, and also tore off his academic master's face, and cursed like the old rogue Dameng:
"You stinky as shit, I will tear you to pieces tonight! If you say 50 points, I will definitely give you 50 points."
The players of both teams were extremely surprised, as they seldom saw such an enraged admiral.
"Even if you scored 50 points, you're still a woman who doesn't dare to confront me." Wang Tiejun said nonchalantly.
"You?" Robinson was furious.
"Want to fight?"
Lao Wang continued to provoke his opponent and raised his fist.
"You idiot rookie, you are only fit to be a thug on the streets and will never be able to enter the upper class. Maybe prison is the best place for you."
With a disdainful glance at Lao Wang, Robinson turned and left.
He is a top student, the piano prince of San Antonio, a senior software engineer, a combination of elegance and humility. Even if he doesn't enter the NBA, he is a truly superior person. He is different from other NBA players, and even more different from Wang Tiejun, a former criminal.
In his eyes, how could Wang Tiejun, a guy who had been in and out of prison, be compared with him? How could he possibly get violent with Wang Tiejun off the court? That was not in line with his status.
Even if Wang Tiejun punched him now, he would just walk away and not fight back because he disdained it.
He truly despised Wang Tiejun, a contempt that came from the bottom of his heart. From academic qualifications to IQ, from strength to talent, he felt that he could crush this Chinese man. He would never let himself fall to the same level as the gangsters and then be defeated by the other party's rich experience as a gangster.
"Fuck, are you so arrogant? When I press you to the floor and rub you, let's see if you can still be so arrogant."
Comrade Lao Wang saw the disdain in Robinson's eyes, but he had no way to fight back now. He did not have the qualifications, so he could only be ruthless.
At the beginning of the second half, Wang Tiejun came on the court, and Robinson also came on the court, and the two began to compete again.
The Suns attacked first. Wang Tiejun played too little in the first half. As soon as he reached the low post on the left wing, he immediately asked for position and the ball.
But in fact, he had a lot of balls in the first half. He had two turnovers alone, at least seven times in total, after all, he only played for 11 minutes.
Robinson still adopted a tangle-style defense. Only with this kind of tenacious defense could he withstand Wang Tiejun's low-post back-to-the-basket attack, prevent the opponent from entering the basket, and save himself from being knocked over.
In fact, he doesn't like this kind of defense at all. He doesn't like confrontation with Dream. What he likes is to crush with talent. He just doesn't want Wang Tiejun to score so many points on him. There is nothing he can do about it.
This time he even put both arms on Wang Tiejun. With his strength and mobility, it was difficult for the latter to get away, let alone catch the ball.
"Damn it, he's stuck to me."
This was the strongest defense Wang Tiejun had ever encountered. Even when playing against Dameng, Dameng had never defended him like this.
Seeing that Wang Tiejun was entangled, Knight passed the ball to Barkley on the right wing.
“Bang!”
Wang Tiejun got angry, and he leaned in close. His entangled left arm instantly bent his elbow and hit David Robinson's chest.
He seldom elbowed people like this before, because Tieshan's non-fouling attack was enough for him to deal with the defender, but now he had no choice but to elbow people out of anger.
Tieshan's elbows and punches have similar strength, but because the attack point is small, it hurts much more than punching with shoulders, back and chest.
"Well!"
The elbow was not light. Robinson cried out in pain and took a step back. His arm was also separated from Wang Tiejun's arm.
"good chance!"
Before the whistle sounded, Wang Tiejun took the opportunity to turn around and slip into the paint area.
Barkley, who was preparing to back-up on the right wing, saw this and quickly threw the ball towards the basket.
"boom!"
An alley-oop dunk and the Spurs' basket was blown up.
After glaring at Wang Tiejun, David Robinson rubbed his chest, turned around and ran towards the front court.
Wang Tiejun hurriedly followed. Fortunately, Robinson did not launch a fast break, otherwise he would have been left far behind again.
He came to the low post, took a look at the position of the Spurs point guard, and quickly opened the system to take a look.
He thought that the elbow he had just received was also a boost in his experience and strength. Maybe the system would give him a promotion?
He feels that by elbowing his opponent, he can resolve Robinson's persistent defense. This way of gaining space is very good and especially suitable for him. The system should recognize this improvement.
In fact, the method he just used is very common in the NBA. The most famous one is the Postman Malone, who used the swing of his elbows to gain shooting space, which made his mid-range shots very accurate and his scoring very stable.
In addition, he used the Iron Mountain Backbone for defense, which was recognized by the system. The last time he got the system, he synthesized the Iron Mountain Backbone, and his single defense level was greatly improved. This should be the reason, so he thought that the system should improve his level because of his use of elbow strikes.
"Ha ha!"
It turns out that there has been an upgrade. The attack under the basket has been upgraded from level 85 to level 86, and the low-post close-range attack has just been upgraded from level 71 to level 72.
"This is the NBA. Elbows are part of the NBA game and part of the confrontation. This is my epiphany!"
He was ecstatic in his heart. This was his epiphany about the proper use of elbow strikes.
He didn't expect that he would improve twice before the game was over. It seems that playing against a super center is indeed conducive to growth.
Unfortunately, he didn't have this kind of epiphany when playing against Dream. It should be that Dream didn't use Robinson's defense, and the opportunity had not come. Now that the opportunity has come, the epiphany came.
Next, he planned to use David Robinson as a target to test his mastery of the proper use of elbow strikes.
Simply put, he is starting to challenge the referee's bottom line and vision.
