Chapter 429: Mentality!
What is the strongest defense in the NBA?
Some may say it's Payton's death entanglement, some may say it's Jordan's pressing defense, and some may say it's the aerial penalty area that gives you four blocks in 10 seconds like Mutombo's, or even what Tim Duncan calls it. 'One man zone defense'.
But Sakuragi Hanamichi clearly belongs to the fifth type...
After the first quarter, Walburn, as the main center of the Bobcats, only scored 2 points and 0 rebounds.
That red-haired defender is so fucking annoying!
For the entire 12 minutes of the first quarter, that guy was like a piece of shit stuck to him that he couldn't get rid of no matter what.
Payton’s true death entanglement? That's just his surface.
What really makes Walburn uncomfortable is the little tricks Sakuragi learned from old Earl.
All kinds of jerks and pulls from the referee's perspective, and all kinds of pre-judged positions for your movements, make you unable to jump and run, as if you have two big iron chains tied to your body, which is extremely uncomfortable.
But if you think this is all about him, you are totally wrong.
The real soul is his trash talk that has no soul in Payton, but is better than Payton's soul!
This guy obviously didn’t get a real pass from Payton on ‘Trash Talk’.
Payton's famous trash talk is the same as Jordan's. He will never hit the target without aim. He will always use actions to kill you on the court first, and then use some elegant trash talk to embellish it and finish it, such as saying something after passing someone. 'I'm crossing you just like I'm crossing the road in the early morning', or after a successful defense, you may say, 'You don't need to wear diapers anymore, don't worry, I will prevent you from even leaking urine' and so on.
That's standard Payton procedure.
But this kid is different. This guy doesn't know how to talk trash at all. He just curses randomly, and his vocabulary is pitiful. He only has two sentences over and over again: 'Fake Squid' and 'Biqi'...
Frankly speaking, this made Walburn feel quite funny when he first listened to his trash talk. He felt that this guy was like a clown, a country bumpkin who couldn't even learn to curse, just like the guy who had his little finger chopped off by him. The Japanese are just as ridiculous.
Walburn even had the leisure to correct the other party's pronunciation with a bit of ridicule at this time.
But as the Sonics continued to attack and the point difference continued to widen, they still had no intention of letting go.
At the same time, this Japanese guy's tactics are getting darker and darker, and his seal is getting tougher and tougher...
By the end of the second quarter, he actually still had 2 points and 1 rebound. For 12 minutes, with that kid and the home whistle, he only allowed Walburn to get 1 rebound. This...
Walburn was a little angry, and he had already seen that the Sonics had no intention of letting go, so he planned to fight back.
But when he started to fight the boy physically, he discovered that the boy's physical fight was much stronger than he thought.
This is a super rookie insider who has surpassed O'Neal and Yao Ming. Who is Walburn to him?
And not just Sakuragi Hanamichi, the entire Sonics team never relaxed for more than half a minute from the beginning of the game.
The first quarter was 38:16 and the second quarter was 86:38. It only took half a half to open up a 46-point point difference. If this continues, will it break the record for the largest point difference in NBA history when the Cavaliers beat the Heat?
The Bobcats were actually fired up and down.
Frankly speaking, although the Bobcats are weak, with Stackhouse and some reinforcements on the bench, their paper strength will definitely not be ranked at the bottom of the league. Even if they face a powerful team like the SuperSonics, Losing 50 points after playing the entire game would be overwhelming.
However, the main players of the Bobcats have always held the idea that the main players of the Supersonic Speed will go down and let go after enough fighting. On the contrary, it is very slow to enter the state, and it can even be said that they have no state and fighting spirit at all.
However, the SuperSonics have been pursuing victory... Is this to break the 68-point score difference record when the Cavaliers beat the Heat, which has been sealed for 10 years, and nail the Bobcats to the pillar of shame in history?
Michael Jordan's face was livid in the audience, and I had already lost my championship ring. What does the SuperSonics mean? !
Ni Bodhisattva is still a little angry, Supersonic is too bullying, and Bobcat also starts to become serious and even has a temper.
But the strength is not as good as it is, and it is the home court of the SuperSonics. Both the momentum and the whistle are completely suppressed. The more angry the Bobcats are, the worse they will lose. After all, the home whistle will not be soft on you.
From 112:53 in the third quarter to 145:71 before the end of the fourth quarter...
Bobcat was almost doubting his life, and Walburn was even more uncomfortable.
2 points in the first quarter, 1 rebound in the second quarter, 1 point and 1 rebound in the third quarter, and nothing at all in the fourth quarter.
The red-haired Japanese guy seemed to be in love with him. From the beginning of the game, he was clinging to him like he was playing in the finals, clinging to him like shit!
It would be fine if the game was very fierce and the score was tight, but this is the regular season! And you, the Sonics, have already won by 70 points. Why are you still pestering me like this?
It’s just pestering, but there are all kinds of little tricks...
MD, this guy is obviously stronger than me, and he has no problem defending himself normally, but he still uses all kinds of little tricks to disgust you! As for that? !
Walburn felt very uncomfortable. Is this the hatred for killing his father or the hatred for taking away his wife?
But by this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi's slightly ridiculous accent and the boring trash talk that was like a child's scolding suddenly became extremely lethal.
"Hey, man, don't you need to be so defensive? You all won!"
"Fake Squid, Bi Qi!"
Continue to pin your feet and continue to fight!
"Can you speak properly?"
"Fake Squid, Bi Qi!"
Start pulling at the corners of your clothes! Very good, grabbed a rebound from him!
"Hey, kid, your accent is ridiculous, you know that? If you don't know how to curse, don't curse. You're like a clown!"
"Fake Squid, Bi Qi!"
Clamp his arm! Great, another stolen ball!
"Can you idiot say something else? Do you know English?"
"Fake Squid, Bi Qi!"
Well, the referee didn't see it, so he continued to raise his elbow and tickle him at the same time!
"F-Fake! Are you looking for death?!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi smelled his fingers, and the guy's creaking nest smelled so bad: "Fake squid, green air!"
Even this guy just shouted to his teammates, such as: "Brother Gao Ren, here here!"
Then he would turn around and say "Fake is so angry!" for no reason at all.
"I, I, I..." Walburn was simply stunned.
Is this guy a retard? !
Yes, this guy is like a retard and a clown!
But the problem is, he was blocked for four whole quarters by a mentally retarded person? Being scolded by a clown for a full 48 minutes?
If you are scolded by the God of Basketball as an opponent on the court, it is a kind of confrontation and even an honor. But if you are scolded by a mentally retarded person who you look down on...
The more stupid and retarded he is, doesn't it make you look even more stupid for being insulted by your retard? !
Walburn also wanted to spat him back with trash talk, but he couldn't beat him. His sparring had no effect on him, and instead seemed like he had been lowered by his opponent's IQ.
As the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic. Walburn felt that he could only do it by cursing like that idiot.
However, that would make you look like a retard!
Walburn was angry...
Who says only magic can defeat magic?
When you don't want to use magic, Walburn thinks you can use your fists!
