Chapter 37: Rain Man's Provocation

"boom!"

Sure enough, Ewing's first ball hit the basket, was short, and the basketball rebounded to the left wing.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Dong took two steps to catch the ball.

Yuren was stuck on the side and didn't grab the best rebounding position. At this time, he immediately pushed behind Zhao Dong and prevented him from turning around.

At the same time, Sonics center Jim McIlvain, who turned to grab a rebound, immediately began to double-team Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong just entered the league, and he rarely enjoys the treatment of being double-teamed at the basket, but today he enjoys it.

"boom!"

The Rain Man elbowed him in the back and stiffened his body as Jim McElvaine took the opportunity to grab the ball.

"Grass!"

Zhao Dong has the kind of personality that the crazier you get, the crazier you become, the more fierce you get, the more ruthless I become, and the character that you are tougher than me, and the two of them double-teamed him and elbowed him, which irritated him.

Protecting the ball with both hands in the chest and abdomen position, during the sudden left turn, the elbows swept left and right, and the right elbow swung away Jim McIlvain's hand grabbing the ball in an instant, while the left elbow hit the rain man behind Between the chest and abdomen, Yuren groaned and took half a step back, and the double-team was broken.

"boom!"

When Yuren retreated, Zhao Dong dribbled the ball with his right hand once, took a quick step away from the former, and then burst into shape.

Yuren hurriedly got up to block the shot, but unfortunately he was not on a firm footing, lacked preparation, and did not fly high enough, so he only hit Zhao Dong's right forearm.

"boom!"

The next moment, he was directly hit and sunk, and at the same time, there was a violent smashing sound of the basket above his head.

"yeah!"

The audience immediately cheered.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle blew.

"Oh, dunk, Flying Dragon completed a dunk on Yuren's head, and directly dunked his defender."

The roar of the on-site commentator suddenly sounded in Madison Square Garden.

Zhao Dong was hanging high above the basket, his stern gaze fell on the face of Yuren at his feet, and behind the baseline was the crazy flickering media camera.

Finally, he fell down, and Yuren also got up. The two faced each other under the basket, and their eyes were extremely unfriendly.

"Boy, get out!"

Being dunked by a rookie, as the number one dunker in the league playing on the head of a center, Yuren was extremely upset, and immediately became angry, and sprayed at Zhao Dong.

"Number 40, you can definitely shake your fist at me, if you have the guts." Zhao Dong said disdainfully.

"What did you say?"

Yuren almost died of anger, even if I dare to touch a unique product, why don't I have the guts to touch you?

"Hey, Sean, he's irritating you, don't be fooled!" Peyton rushed over and shouted, and stood between the two.

"Next time I will dunk you again, you idiot!" Zhao Dong cursed and returned to defense.

"Bastard!" Yuren was instantly furious.

"Ignore him!"

Peyton hugged the furious Rain Man, looked at Zhao Dong's back and cursed: "This damned rookie, he's playing tricks on you, just like Rodman."

He was right, Zhao Dong was trying to provoke Yuren, this was his psychological tactic.

He is very aware of this weakness of the Rainman, and this weakness is also the key to preventing the Rainman from becoming the No. 1 pick in the 1989 draft. The Sonics only paid the No. 17 pick in the first round to get him.

"This rookie did a good job."

In the front row, the number one Knicks fan Spike Lee said to the big star Tom Cruise.

"But I think Rain Man will pay him back. He is the number one dunker in the NBA, and that player is just a nobody. I don't even know his name. By the way, is he Korean or Japanese? I prefer Japan people."

Tom Cruise laughed.

"No, you made a mistake, he is Chinese, and his name is Flying Dragon." Spike Lee said.

"Chinese?" Tom Cruise asked in surprise.

hotels in Los Angeles,

Jordan and Pippen were a little surprised.

"It was an accident," Pippen said with certainty.

"Of course, Rain Man will bring it back. He can dance better than that guy." Jordan said.

Madison Square Garden, Zhao Dongjia made a free throw and the Supersonics attacked.

Based on Zhao Dong’s understanding of the Supersonic lineup, center Jim McIlvain is meager and is the weakest part of the starting lineup, while Ewing’s defense is very strong, so on the offensive end, the Supersonics seldom hit the ball Give it to the center forward to play, and Yuren is responsible for the inside offense.

Rainman has a very good ability to finish with his back, especially the ability to attack the basket facing the basket, which is stronger than the future bully Stoudemire.

At the same time, he and Payton often play smooth lob cooperation, which has become one of the biggest highlights in the Sonics game.

In other words, his defensive task today is very heavy.

At this time, Payton entered the left wing with the ball. Facing the defense of Childs, he immediately turned his back and rolled back while observing the situation on the field.

Rainman Kemp didn't enter the paint, but stopped at the right-wing three-point line.

37% of his shooting areas are concentrated under the basket, mainly dunks, with a shooting percentage of 50%, 44% are far two-pointers, and his shooting percentage is 40%; Not high, only a little over 20%, nearly two points or even only 22% shooting, because he will face a strong defense in that area.

This shooting area is also a manifestation of Yuren's physical fitness and strength. A good two-pointer from far can allow him to open the opponent's defense, and his athletic ability comparable to a guard allows him to be on the three-point line. It can also maintain the possibility of quickly attacking the basket.

Zhao Dong knew that his opponent had a good two-point ability from far away, so he could only go out to defend.

At this time, the rain man suddenly started on the weak side and quickly cut to the flank.

"Oops!"

Being blocked by the rain man on the right side, without cutting off his passing line with the weak side, Zhao Dong knew that this defense failed.

Payton observed the rain man's movement, and when he just stepped into the paint area, he suddenly passed the ball across and passed it to the past.

Rainman took a step after catching the ball, and his powerful explosive power made him have a very fierce impact.

Ewing, who is almost 35 years old, has a lot of injuries. Faced with such a terrifying attack on the basket, he dare not come up to block it.

"boom!"

The Knicks' basket was blasted with great force.

Zhao Dong, who was chasing and defending, was half a beat too late, and he was too late to block the shot.

"Oooo……"

Coming down from the basket, Yuren raised his hands. When retreating, he kept screaming at Zhao Dong and Ewing, and his provocative actions were extremely rampant.

This is his habit. After dunks, the excitement cannot control his emotions, and provocative actions will inevitably follow. This is his favorite thing to do on the court. After brutal dunks, he is provoking the opponent.

"Hush!"

Huge boos erupted in the arena.

"Look, Spike, this is Rain Man's tribute to that player." Tom Cruise said excitedly on the sidelines.

"The flying dragon will return it too." Spike Lee said unwillingly.

"Look, the brutality of Rain Man has begun." Los Angeles, Jordan said to Pippen.
