The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Chapter 469 Players of the Same Level?

LeBron is a professional in preventing changes of direction. This is Lin Dong's special skill, and he is eager to defeat Lin Dong. He also has a master who is best at changing directions - Dwyane Wade. In the past few years in the NBA, he has been training with Wade all the time to adapt to various changes of direction.

With strong physical fitness and zone, plus several years of continuous practice, he can now even defend Wade alone.

But the guy in front of him is not Wade after all, but Lin Dong, a basketball god who is praised as an insurmountable peak in the NBA today!

The terrifying third step, the third step that almost no one can stop!

LeBron only felt that Lin Dong's center of gravity at this time was just like a direct displacement. His center of gravity was still going to the other side, but Lin Dong had already gone directly to the right.

He was completely thrown away by the opponent... Unable to stop, completely unstoppable! Last season, in order to avoid this guy, he deliberately did not play the 3rd position, but only observed from the perspective of the video and the on-site spectators, which was completely different from the actual matchup effect.

This step can no longer be blocked...

A deep despair welled up in LeBron's heart.

——Kick him out! This guy is no match for Lin Dong at all, he only uses dirty tricks!

——Did he go back to Walnut Street? Hehe, that place is full of JN and DP, people will be ruined if they live there for a few months!

——LeBron, remember to clean the gym when you leave. You didn't mop the floor yesterday. I thought you were the ace of that team? You are just a substitute!

——Hey, big star son, sitting at the door again? You can come in next time, I don't mind you watching the game, hahaha!

——The school doesn't give you a chance, so choose another way...

LeBron's time and space seemed to freeze suddenly at this moment, and scenes of the past floated in his mind, including the Nike Summit, the World Championships, and various humiliations and lows after returning to school.

Even facing the knives of several desperate men, facing the threats of the former manager of the Cavaliers, facing the resistance of all teams and fans in the entire league, and turning around step by step, and seizing the opportunity to join the Cavaliers.

Then there were the almost endless training in the past few years, the various gestures to Laura in order to get promoted, and the despair and cheering up when watching Lin Dong's videos again and again, despair again, cheering up again...

In order to return to the No. 3 position, to stand on the stage facing Lin Dong again, he has given everything, but now he has been ruthlessly intercepted by the opponent just at the first step of regaining the courage to challenge. Failure, giving up, falling back into the dust?

No! Never! I will never allow it!

LeBron's heart was roaring, and his eyes suddenly turned red after a moment of emptiness.

Thum!

He suddenly supported the center of gravity of his whole body.

A 120-kilogram body, plus a rapidly swinging center of gravity, all the power is probably no less than 200 kilograms of pressure, all of which were supported on his right leg at this moment.

The strong muscles endured huge pressure at this moment, protecting the "fragile" bones, and also provided a recoil force, completely supporting LeBron's center of gravity at this moment, and then the whole person started like an explosion, rushing to the other side frantically.

It was still half a beat late. After all, Lin Dong moved first, and while supporting the center of gravity, he offset too much of his strength. Although the will can make the body make the most correct instinctive movements, and the strong muscles can help him withstand the physical strain caused by this extreme change of direction, the speed and the advantages and disadvantages of each other remain unchanged.

But at this time, the whole world seemed to slow down in LeBron's eyes. LeBron could clearly see that Lin Dong had rushed to the position where he was about to break through, but he could also see a flash of surprise in Lin Dong's eyes.

But it was this surprise that suddenly gave LeBron infinite confidence and will.

I can stop him! I can definitely stop him! Stop that monster from Asia!

LeBron stretched out his big hand and forcibly twisted Lin Dong's arm. With the help of the arm entanglement, he slowed down Lin Dong's speed a little, and also provided a force for his change of direction, which made him catch up again miraculously!

He did it, he did it himself!

At this moment, LeBron's heart was filled with infinite pride and excitement.

Kobe Bryant is the only one in the NBA who has achieved this achievement. He has caught up with Lin Dong's third step of changing direction without slowing down.

Although he did not completely block Lin Dong, although he did not... but he was the only one in the league who could keep up with him since Kobe Bryant's magical season!

At this time, the stadium had become silent, and many people opened their mouths in astonishment.

The grudge between LeBron and Lin Dong is almost known to everyone in the basketball circle. From the moment the God of Basketball appeared on American soil, this guy has been entangled with the other party like a fate.

In the first two seasons, this guy switched from the 3rd position to the 4th position, and his attitude of avoiding Lin Dong and not daring to fight with him also made LeBron a laughing stock in the entire league. ,

The gap is too big, what fateful opponent, he is not even qualified to be Lin Dong's opponent.

Fortunately, seeing that this guy once bravely saved a girl, seeing that this guy has changed his ways, and seeing that Lin Dong is too strong, and no one in the entire league can limit him, everyone just laughed at LeBron's avoidance of the battle.

But I didn't expect this guy to be so amazing that he could keep up with Lin Dong's extreme third step in defense at this time!

This is a 120-kilogram big man. Regardless of whether he has any tricks in his hands, being able to do this is enough to shock the entire league.

Did he defend it?

The next second, the surprise in Lin Dong's eyes turned into gentle appreciation.

Is the three-step change of direction his limit?

Indeed, from a technical perspective, three steps is the limit, which is the limit of the game that he has practiced with the help of knee pads.

But this only refers to the state of the game, which is the level that he can do with his body instincts without the protection of knee pads and will not get hurt.

But if the protection of knee pads is taken into account, frankly speaking, this move can change direction for two more steps until the forward speed is completely exhausted.

But after all, he has already reached the peak. Most of the time, Lin Dong disdains to use the protective function of knee pads to exceed his own limits, and now... there is no need.

Attacking does not necessarily rely on changing directions to continue.

At this time, LeBron and Lin Dong were on a parallel line. With the angle at this time, LeBron had full confidence that he could complete a double team attack on Lin Dong with O'Neal when Lin Dong rushed to the basket. At the same time, he had to prevent the opponent's sudden stop jump shot.

LeBron was not particularly worried about the latter, because the two were completely parallel at this time, and failed to block the opponent's breakthrough route, but it was more conducive to defending the opponent's sudden stop jump shot.

At this time, the two moved rapidly to the right at the same time, and LeBron's eyes flashed with blazing flames, and blocked it!

But the next second...

Whoosh!

Lin Dong suddenly jumped up, but it was not a sudden stop jump shot, but while keeping the center of gravity rushing forward, a drift jump that seemed to throw his body out.

LeBron felt the center of gravity of Lin Dong. The opponent had no signs of slowing down at all, so he naturally followed him all the way to the end. At this time, the center of gravity was still moving forward, but who would have thought that this guy could actually jump in a full sprint.

He was stunned while maintaining the momentum of the forward rush, and then he saw that Lin Dong had already passed over his head in a lateral movement, and the basketball he held high was already in the air!

LeBron's mind was full of how to block Lin Dong at this time, and he jumped up without thinking.

But after all, he was a step slower, and jumping sideways in such a rapid sprint was really not something that ordinary people could do...

LeBron's jump block did not cause any interference to Lin Dong. The jump height, rhythm and even movements of the two were completely on different channels. It can almost be said that it was an unobstructed shot.

In a flash...

Swish!

Bang!

The basketball went into the basket steadily and went into the net. LeBron, who was thinking only of Lin Dong and forced to jump, had already moved sideways and rushed out of the baseline. His huge body of 120 kilograms flew out uncontrollably and hit a reporter who was sitting on the sidelines filming.

The chubby reporter opened his mouth in horror, feeling the shadow rushing over him, and except for subconsciously raising his arms to block it, he had completely forgotten to do any other escape reactions.

Bang!

LeBron, the chubby reporter, and the camera he set up all collided with each other, and the impact pushed them back at least one meter, directly hitting the billboards on the sidelines, hitting all the billboards in a long row, and the huge impact sounded far away in the quiet stadium at this time, which seemed extremely fierce.

——Fuck!

——Fuck!

——Are you okay?

Fans from all over the United States, Dragon Country, and the world were all dumbfounded at this moment, and Laura, who was sitting in the VIP room, stood up nervously.

This collision, this pain... Lin Dong also looked over in surprise.

Frankly speaking, whether it was the third step he took despite his injury, or the subconscious forward jump, LeBron's determination to defend himself still impressed Lin Dong. He was completely different from the LeBron in another world.

However... such a strong collision, he wouldn't be really injured, right?

Fortunately, the next second, LeBron turned over and got up from the ground. He just rubbed his arm that hit the camera during the collision. He looked unscathed.

LeBron was sweating coldly at this time. Thinking back to the moment when his body completely lost control, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

But now it seems... his hard training in the past few years has not been in vain. Strong enough muscles have helped him offset most of the damage!

Of course, there is also that...

He turned his head as soon as he got up, but saw that the chubby reporter under him had rolled his eyes a little, lying on the ground with his mouth wide open, motionless with a look of shock, and even twitching a little with fear.

This guy's muscular body saved him and himself.

I didn't expect that after that terrifying three-step change of direction, he would actually have this lateral jump. He is indeed the most difficult guy to defend in the history of this league!

But... at least I have caught up with him, the new god of basketball.

As long as I catch up with him, it means that we are at the same level, which means that I will definitely have a chance to catch up with him!

I am already a player of the same level as that guy!

LeBron took a deep breath, pulled the fat reporter up who was still shaking on the ground, and helped him straighten the camera with a smile: "Are you okay, man?"

"Ah? No, no..." The reporter's fat all over his body was hurting, but it seemed like nothing was wrong. It must be said that fat is the best protective layer of the human body, but the mental shock was unavoidable.

A player who dares to face Lin Dong and fight hard.

At this time, countless American fans roared in front of the TV.

- Well done LeBron!

——What a pity. I almost managed to prevent him, but that guy even caught up with Lin Dong’s third change of direction!

——Didn’t you see him so fierce last season? With such a level of talent, why didn’t you light it up earlier? Last season, he even switched to the 4th position to avoid Lin Dong...

——I guess he felt that the Cavaliers had no chance to win the championship last season, so they might as well not expose themselves. Now with the addition of Kidd and O'Neal, this guy is finally going to show off his power. Haha, I was optimistic about him at the beginning. LeBron's physical fitness is too unfavorable. Oh my God!

——LeBron! LeBron! LeBron!

And even at the home court of the SuperSonics, frankly speaking, fans haven't seen a guy like this who dares to challenge Lin Dong for a long time. After all, the stronger the opponent, the more they can see the super performance of the god of basketball. , if the opponent is too weak and the God of Basketball wins casually, that would be meaningless, right?

This must be ‘encouraged’!

——Hahaha, come on, Cavaliers No. 0, you almost guarded our basketball god!

——2:0!

--Forest! Forest! Forest! Forest!

The whole stadium resounded with cheers for Lin Dong, but LeBron licked the corner of his mouth, and when he looked at Lin Dong who had retreated back without caring, the fear in his eyes was already two points less, but more. Endless fighting spirit.

--bring it on!

He said to Lin Dong coldly in his heart.

Knight's ball.

Although he still failed to prevent it, LeBron's desperate performance just now obviously gave the Cavaliers considerable encouragement and confidence.

Let LeBron guard Lin Dong alone. No one expected him to succeed before the game. Even Wade, who knew his strength very well and trusted him very much. After all, there were too many people trying to guard Lin Dong, but no one had ever really tried to defend him. Succeeded.

But at least LeBron can form a matchup with Lin Dong without losing position, and even force Lin Dong's drifting fairy ball.

As long as he keeps it up, the Cavaliers will definitely win. The fairy ball cannot be used every time they attack, and the Cavaliers can blow up the Sonics in several other positions!

On the defensive end of the SuperSonics, Chandler should have been guarding LeBron, but looking at LeBron's current state, Lin Dong chose to misplace and took the initiative to meet him.

This guy has found a little confidence against himself on the defensive end, so it's best not to let him find confidence on the offensive end.

Since this guy wants to fight alone, let's play with him!

Sakuragi Hanamichi squeezed O'Neal in the paint and prevented him from entering the attacking position under the basket too easily. Chandler directly faced the young Varejao, squeezing the opponent behind him without any pressure. He couldn't even stand firmly. At the same time, he formed an interconnected state with Sakuragi on the inside, ready to flank O'Neal at any time.

Iguodala and Wade faced off. The fourth-year Iguodala is now one of the defensive gates of the Sonics. He is not too outstanding defensively, but his basic skills are extremely solid and he knows a little bit about Sakuragi. His predictions are also a little bit of Payton's death entanglement. He learns a trick from the East and a claw from the West, but it actually gives him a bit of his own style, which is at a level that can barely enter the league's third defensive team.

However, against Wade, the Flash who has two menisci and has entered his peak period ahead of schedule, his defensive skills are obviously still half a step behind, which is a loophole.

Kidd steadily controlled the basketball in his hands and passed the midfield. Payton did not use the full-court press and rotation defense that the Sonics are famous for.

He knew Kidd very well. The two had practiced together since they were in elementary school. They had countless one-on-one duels. Although they basically won by themselves, that was not only because they were rich in trash talk, but also because they were older than each other at the time. Kidd is bigger.

Being older was an advantage when I was young, but now that I am in my thirties, it has become a disadvantage.

The full-court press is bound to fail, and instead the guy will get through and create a gap. Not only does that guy have an excellent passing vision, but his breakthrough and pulling abilities are also absolutely top-notch in the league.

Fortunately, "Kidd does not attack", which allows Payton to directly choose a position with one step open to defend, to prevent breakthroughs rather than shots. This can limit Kidd's breakthroughs and the pull on the Sonics' defense to the greatest extent.

At the same time, look at the Sonics' defense at this time.

Both Varejao and LeBron are locked up. O'Neal can play inside, but he has to face a double attack between the two. Wade's matchup with Iguodala is considered an absolute loophole and open space.

Will pass Wade!

Payton intentionally or unintentionally shifted the defensive focus to the left, blocking Kidd and Wade's passing route.

That's all there is to it...

Before the word 'lose' could finish spinning in Payton's mind, he saw Kidd already standing up from outside the three-point line.

Farke!

Payton cursed secretly, forgetting that this guy has a three-pointer...

"Kidd can't attack" is just a joking nickname, but it does not mean that Kidd can't attack. In fact, since joining the Nets and briefly dominating the Eastern Conference for a period of time, this guy has been practicing hard for 3-pointers for the championship. Now, his three-pointers are quite good. In the 2002 season, he averaged three three-pointers per game. Last season, he even averaged four three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of over 50%. Looking at the historical level of point guards, they all It can be called a powerful sound.

Uh-huh!

The basketball hit the net hollowly, and the score on the electronic scoreboard jumped.

At 2:3, the Cavaliers instantly overtook.

Kidd smiled and made a shooting gesture towards Payton: "Hey, man, you're old!"

"I'm a guest from afar, let me go first, don't be ignorant, man!" Payton felt secretly in his heart.

The Cavaliers can't stop Lin Dong. Only he knows that Lin Dong's limit is no limit at all, but the problem is... the Supersonics seem to be a little unable to guard against this Cavaliers.

Not to mention other positions, it just seems to stretch my hips a bit.

Kidd, who can shoot three-pointers, is simply a nightmare for him who has already shot four, but he will definitely not admit defeat: "I won't give up on the next one. If you have the ability, try another one!"

Kidd laughed loudly and retreated: "You have the toughest mouth in your whole body! Today is the day when you Supersonics will fall from the altar. Enjoy this wonderful game, old man!"
