Volume 1 Western Cowboy Chapter 011 Very Impressive
“Mission: Defeat the powerful enemy.
Mission objective: Show your full strength and impress Rasheed Wallace.
Mission Reward: Rasheed Wallace's Straight Arm Shot Action Pack (Bronze)."
Wayne's eyes lit up as Wallace hugged his neck.
This time the reward is finally not something from a lottery!
Rasheed Wallace's straight-arm shot is an unexpected trick.
Back then, this shot was known as the most difficult to block.
The normal shooting action emphasizes the three 90-degree right angles of the arm, which means that it requires bending the arm to complete.
The so-called straight-arm shot is to straighten your arms and waist when shooting, with your entire upper limbs close to perpendicular to the ground, and raise the ball as high as possible.
Then use the strength of your wrist and fingers to shoot the ball.
This technique requires a lot of strength in the wrist, fingers and waist, and the shot is relatively slow.
But the advantage is that you don't need to jump very high to get a high shooting point that is difficult to interfere with.
This shooting method is not very useful from the outside, but it is very popular among power forward players.
In fact, in China, the "God of War" Liu Yudong also relies on straight-arm shooting to dominate the battlefield.
Rasheed Wallace relied on his straight-arm shot to hit 47.1% of his overall shooting percentage and 35.8% of his three-point shooting percentage last season.
Wallace averages 4.1 three-pointers per game, which shows his shooting stability.
In this era, Wallace's playing style is considered quite unconventional.
He can almost be said to be the forefather of power forwards going out for three-pointers...
You mean Bird? Bird actually played small forward more often in his career.
And because his straight-arm shot is difficult to block, Wallace is a nightmare for almost all defenders.
The extremely high shooting point and the perfect high arc like a rainbow make blocking Rasheed Wallace's jump shot a luxury.
Speaking of which, isn’t Rasheed Wallace a 3D power forward?
He is tough and tenacious on defense and threatening from three-point range on offense. He is simply Wayne's ideal type.
If he gets this reward, Wayne can temporarily follow Rasheed Wallace's path for a while.
Thinking of this, Wayne clenched his fists.
Fuck that Tianzun!
Of course, Wayne knew that it was unrealistic for him to beat Rasheed Wallace with his current condition.
But the system's task is not to win the game, as long as it can make Rasheed Wallace sweat.
Moreover, to leave a deep impression… Who says that you have to rely on your football skills to leave a deep impression?
"I came here today just for you, Rashid. You won't regret choosing me." Wayne gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, uttering harsh words to one of the most difficult villains in the league.
If you want to leave a deep impression, how can you not speak sweetly?
Suddenly, beads of sweat began to flow down Wayne's forehead!
Some people appear to be very calm on the surface, but they are actually very panicked inside!
"Oh, this little hot-tempered guy." Rasheed Wallace was also amused. He didn't expect that this seemingly honest Asian man would dare to challenge him.
He loosened his arms around Wayne's neck, then patted Wayne's shoulder vigorously, "Boy, a man should be responsible for what he says. Keep up the good work, tall guy."
After that, Wallace walked off the court with a smile. He was the last one to be selected, so he would be the last one to go on the court.
Before Wayne and Wallace start playing, Randolph and Stoudemire will be the first to perform their performances.
The game between Randolph, Stoudemire and the lucky fans ended quickly with warm laughter. After all, they had no real intention of competing with the fans.
And finally, when Wayne and Wallace stepped onto the court, the entire training ground was drowned out by the screams of the fans.
Because Wayne seems to be the one most likely to cause trouble for the Trail Blazers players today.
At least his height is comparable to that of professional players.
Unknowingly, the confrontation between Wayne and Wallace became the finale of today's fan meeting day.
"So now, let's invite this lucky...uh, what's your name?" Wallace picked up the microphone and walked to Wayne.
"Wayne."
"OK, let's invite this lucky Mr. Batman. I think you can see that the fans are full of expectations for you. Come on, big guy! The rules are the same as before. Whoever gets 5 points first wins. Points outside the three-point line count as 2 points, and points inside the three-point line count as 1 point."
After Wallace livened up the atmosphere with a brief opening speech, the scene indeed became very lively.
He threw the ball to Wayne and let Wayne attack first.
All of a sudden, all the onlookers stepped back to give the two giants room to fight.
No one knows who Wayne is or where he comes from, but because of his height, everyone has inexplicable expectations of him.
The moment Wayne got the ball, Rasheed Wallace also stood in front of Wayne with his arms outstretched.
Of course, Wallace didn't press Wayne closely, he was just pretending.
Moreover, when defending big men, most people's habitual thinking is to let them shoot but not to break through.
In this era, most big players prefer to play one-on-one in the low post, and there are very few players like Wallace who love to shoot three-pointers.
So when most people see a big player outside the three-point line, they won't stick to him.
But Wallace didn't know that the person in front of him was a person with serious academic imbalance.
Wayne saw that Wallace let him go more than a step and took a deep breath.
In that case, then... sorry for making a fool of myself!
Wayne suddenly took a jump shot from outside the three-point line. Wallace just raised his hand symbolically and prepared to walk back to collect the rebound.
Are you kidding? This is the NBA's three-point line. Besides, ordinary people would be more or less nervous when facing NBA stars.
This goal is absolutely impossible to score, absolutely not...
"brush!"
Wallace: ???
"Boom!" The fans were boiling with excitement. This unknown Asian big guy actually made a three-pointer in front of Rashid right at the start.
It’s simply amazing!
"Hahaha, well done Wayne. Damn, you're awesome, man!" Cody was so excited that he danced with joy.
My buddy once scored a goal in front of NBA All-Star players. That’s enough for Cody to brag about for the rest of his life!
"Your shot has a pretty smooth touch, kid." Wallace licked his lips awkwardly, picked up the ball and threw it to Wayne again.
According to the 1-on-1 rule, the team that scores a goal can continue to have possession of the ball.
"Be serious, Rashid, otherwise it will be embarrassing." Wayne took the basketball and continued to impress Wallace.
At the same time, Wayne also discovered that the feeling of trash-talking others on the court... was quite enjoyable?
Wait, growth points +1000?
Is this true? Making a three-pointer over Wallace's head actually gives you 1,000 points as a direct reward!
NBA All-Star level athletes are so cool!
This trip to Portland was so comfortable!
"Embarrass me? Hahahaha, I bet you can't make a second three-pointer in a row."
"Swish." As soon as Wallace finished speaking, the basketball thrown by Wayne went into the net.
"Ah? What did you just say?" Wayne looked innocent. He was so focused on shooting that he really didn't hear clearly.
Wallace was petrified. In the time it took him to say a word, it was 4-0?
"Damn, another goal! He made two consecutive three-pointers in front of Rashid, it's amazing! If he scores one more goal, he will win!" The fans were crazy, and even some Trail Blazers players raised their arms high.
"Hey, I'm a good buddy of that big guy. Can I have your phone number? Let's play together later." Cody took the opportunity to use Wayne's name to frantically collect the phone numbers of female fans.
Two consecutive three-pointers, both of which went into the net. It would be a bit far-fetched to simply say it was luck.
Wallace knew that the Asian man in front of him came prepared!
"Kid, where are you playing?" This time, when Wallace picked up the basketball and handed it to Wayne again, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.
The reactions of the fans and teammates at the scene made Wallace feel embarrassed!
Wayne was overjoyed as he watched Wallace's expression change.
It's done, it's done! Wallace must be impressed by me!
"I'm from the Oklahoma State University Cowboys." Wayne answered immediately, fearing that Tianzun would not remember him.
"Cowboys? You're an NCAA player, no wonder you have some basic skills... But even for an NCAA player, your three-point shooting is pretty good." Wallace knew that the NCAA's three-point line was shorter than that of the NBA.
Not every NCAA player can adapt to the longer three-point distance.
But the Asian man in front of him shot very easily.
"I've been practicing with the NBA three-point line because I want to play in the NBA."
"Play in the NBA? You? Hahahaha, alright. Then today I will let you experience in advance what the NBA is all about!"
Wallace was a little angry. It was fine to play with the fans, but losing to a half-baked college student? What a joke!
This time he didn't give Wayne so much space, but stayed in front of Wayne.
Wayne was at a loss, as his ability to attack with the ball was very poor. Wallace, on the other hand, was famous for his defense.
But there is no other way. For now, I have to bite the bullet and dig in.
As soon as Wayne started, Wallace pressed forward forcefully.
“Bang!”
After the collision with Wallace, Wayne felt his ribs were almost broken.
Damn, confrontation and NCAA are completely different concepts.
Is this NBA level?
However, Wayne did not stop, but endured the severe pain and continued to go deep into the restricted area. For the growth points, fight!
But just as Wayne jumped for a layup, Wallace pounced on him again.
After being hit by Wallace in the air, Wayne lost his balance and fell to the ground. His layup movement was completely deformed and the basketball naturally failed to hit the target.
"What is that guy doing?" The face of the new general manager of the Trail Blazers, Patterson, suddenly turned dark.
He defended so hard that he even knocked down a fan. Why did he feel that Wallace was serious?
"How about it? Do you understand the gap? NBA is not a game for students." Wallace looked at Wayne on the ground, said something harsh, and then walked away without any intention of pulling Wayne up.
"Fuck, it would be unfair if we fail to complete the mission." Wayne rubbed his chest. Playing against the players of the Portland Prison Team was indeed hardcore.
Wallace got the offensive ball through this excellent defense, and he thought he had won the game.
To put it bluntly, in the last two shots, Wallace didn't defend Wayne very well, which allowed Wayne to steal two three-pointers.
Because at the beginning Wallace really didn't expect Wayne to be able to make stable shots from beyond the three-point line in the NBA.
But now, he won't give Wayne any more chances.
Game time was over, and he was about to put an end to the highlight of the day.
Wallace started to back up from outside the three-point line, and the scene was simply horrible.
Wayne's thighs are only as thick as other people's arms, he can't handle it at all!
Wallace pushed the ball to the basket in no time, as if he was pushing a cart.
At this time, Wallace suddenly turned around, widened the distance between him and Wayne, and then made a jump shot.
Rasheed Wallace's turnaround straight-arm shot appeared in front of Wayne for the first time.
But Wallace had just raised the basketball and hadn't reached the highest point when he found that Wayne's fingertips were touching the bottom of the basketball!
"What!?" Wallace was shocked. He was actually blocked by this guy?
How could he be so precise in timing his block?
Wayne was also surprised. How could Guy Wallace add 100 points at a time?
In fact, if Wallace played at his best, Wayne would have no chance of scoring this goal.
However, due to the lack of training during the entire holiday and the fact that pre-season training camp has not yet begun, Wallace is not yet in his best competitive form.
His movements were much slower than normal.
In addition, Wayne was tall and had long arms, so he just scraped the bottom of the basketball.
But no matter what, it is a fact that Wayne blocked Wallace's shot.
Watching the basketball being knocked away by Wayne, Wallace will forever remember the name of this Asian guy.
Wayne from Oklahoma State University!
The basketball that Wayne pushed into the air began to fall. After he caught it, he turned around and shot into the empty basket.
According to the 1-on-1 rule, if the block is completed, the defending team can directly initiate an offense on the spot without having to dribble again to the three-point line.
Just like that, while Wallace was still in a daze, Wayne had already completed the layup.
5-0, "Roaring God" became the first Trail Blazers player to lose to the fans today.
In an instant, the surrounding fans rushed forward and pounced on Wayne.
At this moment, he became the host and the most dazzling star here.
He defeated an NBA All-Star player!
"Damn it... we won!?" Wayne looked at the crowd gathered around him and couldn't believe what had just happened.
He obviously just wanted to impress Wallace, but he didn't expect that with a little bit of strength and a little bit of luck, he actually won the game!
Wayne raised his head and just saw Rasheed Wallace's resentful eyes.
At this moment, the system also responded.
“Congratulations to the host for completing the goal and receiving the reward: Rasheed Wallace’s straight arm shooting action package (bronze).”
Well, it seems that this impression was a little too deep.
