Chapter 1064 UFO (Vince Carter)
UFO (Vince Carter): Increases the airborne time and body flexibility by 40%, and obtains the passive skill "Rescue Ratings": increases the success rate of dunks by 20%. Condition: must be exchanged for the King of Bounce (James White).
This is Tang Tian's target skill.
Increasing air retention and body flexibility are necessary conditions for completing difficult dunks.
And the biggest difference between UFO and the King of Bounce is that it can complete dunks in the presence of confrontation.
This can be seen from the passive skills.
Even compared with other red skills, this passive skill has some bugs. Other skills add 10%, but it directly adds 20%!
But it deserves it.
After Jordan retired, the NBA's global attention dropped sharply. It was Carter's explosive dunk performance that brought attention back.
Therefore, in addition to "UFO", Carter also has a title, the man who saves ratings!
Tang Tian chose to redeem it. After redeeming it, he felt like his body became lighter.
Dunking is a breakthrough of gravity, and this illusion is a normal reaction.
He then pulled out the system properties panel.
Strength: 80→85
Bounce: 90→95
Dunk: 77→93
These are the three attributes that have changed the most in the first-level interface.
In addition, due to the increase in body coordination, ball control, layups, close range, etc. all have an increase of 1 to 2 points.
On the second-level page, the only thing that has changed is the dunk.
Dunk on the spot: 80→97
Sprint dunk: 75 → 95
Contest dunk: 70 → 86
As a red skill, the improvement of dunk is a real qualitative change.
After all, 50 million krypton gold is enough to exchange for 1,000 Bounce Kings.
After redeeming it, Tang Tian couldn't help but go to his gym to try it out.
Big windmill, crotch, 360°...
These dunks, which were originally difficult for him, are now as easy as running.
And the key is comfort.
Not to mention the visual effect on others, he felt very comfortable when buttoning it up.
To use a popular saying, it has a silky feel when buckled.
This is completely different from the previous dunk, which relied solely on bounce and was slightly stiff.
This 50 million is well spent.
The Pelicans' next opponent is the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves have become a bad team since Garnett left and have missed the playoffs for 14 consecutive years.
This season's record ranks last in the Western Conference, and this number will soon become 15.
The Timberwolves' current lineup is not bad, and the four words "young talent" are the most appropriate description.
The starting point guard, the former "golden boy", is now a first-class pass master on both offense and defense; Rubio;
Shooting guard, Zach LaVine, the dunk king who can burst and shoot (38.6% of three-pointers this season);
Small forward, Andrew Wiggins, the "wolfberry man" No. 1 draft pick who is known as McGrady's second and has extremely strong physical talent;
Power forward, hailed as the next Duncan, the No. 1 pick who has excellent inside and outside skills and has the same name as Tang Tian's son;
Center, Gorgui Diang, an African young man with excellent defensive ability and a very solid mid-range shot;
In addition to the bench "Second Generation Wall" Kris Dunn, "MOP" Tyles Jones, explosive defender Shabazz Muhammad, and European super newcomer Bjelica.
Compared with talent, the Timberwolves dare to say that most teams in the league are scum.
But compared to its strength, it is basically a scumbag in the eyes of other teams.
This is probably the team in the league that is least able to exchange talent.
Playing against such a team, there is basically no suspense for the Pelicans to win.
However, this game is quite interesting.
Because this is the first game after Tang Tian agreed to participate in the dunk contest, and LaVine, who had agreed to participate in the dunk contest before, is with the Timberwolves.
In other words, this is a warm-up for the two people before the dunk contest.
Minnesota in February is still covered in ice and snow, and the climate is cold.
However, such weather does not prevent fans from going to watch the game. The Target Center, which usually has less than 50% attendance, was packed today.
Some fans have attributed this phenomenon to the "Pelican effect."
Whenever there is a Pelicans game, no matter home or away, the attendance rate will reach or exceed 100%!
Although there is no chance of winning against the Pelicans, the bosses in small cities play 82 games a season with the Pelicans to make money!
Before the game, LaVine took the initiative to come over and greet Tang Tian.
He didn't play much last season due to injury, but he's in good shape after returning this season.
Although his personal strength is much inferior to Tang Tian, he still wants to beat Tang Tian in the dunk contest.
In the field of dunking, he is very confident in himself.
After the pre-game warm-up, the starters for both teams were announced one after another.
For the Timberwolves, Rubio and LaVine on the outside, Wiggins and Towns on the forward line, and Dieng on center all started.
For the Pelicans, Davis did not play this game due to body soreness following his previous hip discomfort.
Walker was also given a rest by Stevens.
Stevens has gone further and further down the road of becoming a wave player.
The Pelicans' starters are Brogdon and Tang Tian on the outside, Butler and Siakam on the striker, and Dedmon at center.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Towns returned the ball to the Timberwolves' half, officially kicking off the game.
Rubio organized with the ball from the outside, but the Timberwolves' tactics did not work.
Their tactical execution was average.
Rubio finally handed the ball to Wiggins.
Facing Butler's singles with the ball, Wiggins' dribbling from the front was almost interrupted. After turning his back, he couldn't move for a long time, and finally chose to turn and lean back toward the baseline.
Butler caught the ball before he released it, and the ball was released the moment he released it. It was a complete miss.
There was a commotion on the sidelines.
Wiggins' statistics have gradually improved in the past few years, and this season he averaged close to 24 points per game.
But as a small forward, his shooting percentage this season is just over 42%.
And what's even more frightening than his shooting percentage is that this is already his fourth year in the NBA, but his technical and tactical improvements are very limited.
It's still the same technology as when we entered the league, and the efficiency is getting lower year by year.
On social media, nicknames such as thermos cup man and wolfberry man have emerged one after another.
The ball just now also reflected this.
Facing a quasi-best defensive player-level defense like Butler, his offense seemed very raw.
Looking back, neither Walker nor Davis played, and the ball was concentrated in Tang Tian's hands as soon as the game started.
The man guarding him is Wiggins.
Tang Tian made a huge crossover and beat him cleanly.
He then accelerated to the inside and jumped into the air.
Tang Si had already come to help with the defense, but when he saw Tang Tian rise, he wisely hid aside.
After Tang Tian saw it, the original movement of the battle ax changed. The ball was pulled down from the top of the head to the knee joint, and it turned into a large rounded windmill!
"Bang!"
The ball was hit hard into the basket.
Clean, neat, smooth, and most importantly, handsome!
When Tang Tian dunked the ball, there were even sporadic cheers at the scene!
This ball is really beautiful!
