NBA: Ultimate Tormentor

Chapter 34 Have You Ever Seen The Golden State Sun At Four A.M.?
The moment the black tower Roy Hibbert, who is 218cm tall, received the ball, Qin Dong rushed over with strides.

Qin Dong planned to foul him tactically and destroy his chance to make an empty basket.

But Hibbert was too slow.

Not only is it slow.

Physical coordination is also poor.

In addition, there was no Qin Dong who came to defend from the side at all.

Qin Dong, who came a step late, jumped up before Hibbert, and slapped the basketball in Hibbert's hand with his big hand.

"Dang!" sounded.

Qin Dong pressed Hibbert's slow dunk on the basket's neck.

Hibbert, who was capped, was very surprised by the sudden appearance of Qin Dong, but at this time he was also aware of his height advantage, and quickly blocked Qin Dong to grab the offensive rebound.

Qin Dong didn't make any effort to get stuck with him, and he didn't plan to take off to compete for the rebound, but called Biedrins to attack.

Biedrins was very obedient, and rushed over immediately, sticking up to Hibbert.

Although Hibbert took off the offensive rebound, Biedrins' hands have been trying to pat the basketball in Hibbert's hands.

Hibbert's explosive power and secondary jumping are both at the NBA floor level, and he can't get up at all.

Hibbert, who was constantly harassed by Biedrins and Qin Dong, didn't attack or pass, and subconsciously put down the basketball in his hand.

suddenly
Qin Dong rushed out like an arrow leaving the string, and with a sound of "Pa!", Qin Dong cut off the basketball in his hand.

In addition, Qin Dong, with his big palm, was still protecting the ball in the first place.

In less than 10 seconds, Qin Dong contributed a cap and a steal, causing Hibbert to rush anxiously to counter-rob Qin Dong.

Qin Dong took the opportunity to make Hibbert a foul.

"drop!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

Hibbert defensive foul.

Because of the number of free throws, Qin Dong walked to the free throw line.

"when!"

"Shh!"

2 free throws.

The score came to 31vs29.

In the past few offensive rounds, the Warriors played a climax on the offensive end. Although they did not completely hold down the Pacers on the defensive end, it also caused their offensive efficiency to decline to a certain extent.

This is a long time.

The Shuigou Brothers led the team to catch up to only 2 points left.

At the same time, counting the 1 foul just now, Roy Hibbert has already suffered 2 fouls.

Although the first quarter is coming to an end, the 2 fouls also laid a hidden danger for him in the next game.

The first quarter lasted to 10 minutes and 48 seconds.

Qin Dong, Curry and other starters all came off the field.

As a rookie, Stephen Curry slumped on the bench at this time, exhaling heavily, and the sweat on his forehead was like the eve of a storm.

"Stephen, I usually ask you to exercise well, but you always make excuses."

"You can see that you are as tired as a dead dog now."

Qin Dong ruthlessly complained about his teammate Curry.

"Qin you." Curry rolled his eyes in extreme speechlessness.

Uh.
While complaining about Curry's poor physical strength and not being strict enough with himself, Qin Dong asked the Warriors team doctor to apply ice to him, and the caddy handed him Gatorade.

This level of exhaustion is no less than that of Stephen Curry.

Although Qin Dong's current physical strength is better than that of Curry, he can last 5 minutes longer than Curry under the same intensity of load.

But tonight Qin Dong is defending the opponent's top scorer - Danny Granger.

In addition, Qin Dong will also perform [water hook pick-and-roll] on the offensive end.

"It seems that all the superstars in history who have integrated offense and defense are all at the level of physical monsters." Qin Dong said with emotion.

At 2 minutes and 09 seconds in the second quarter, the Warriors' plan was to let Qin Dong rest until the fifth minute before appearing.

But the Pacers on the field played a wave of 2:8 attacks in the past 2 minutes.

Pacers got 8 points, Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert each took 4 points.

Without Qin Dong's assistance in sweeping the defense, Hibbert could easily catch the ball in a reasonable collision zone.

Once the 218cm Hibbert wants to go to such a deep position, the Warriors' insiders can only sigh.

In contrast to the Golden State Warriors
The only 2 points were scored by Corey Maggette, whose biceps are bigger than Curry's head, and got it by making a straight line breakthrough.

At this time the score was 42vs35!

The point difference was stretched to 7 points.

This made Don Nelson have to take Qin Dong to the field ahead of schedule.

But what he replaced was not Corey Maggette, but the Warriors' backup point guard-Kelana Azubuike.

Before entering the stage, Qin Dong glanced at Stephen Curry, who was still resting on the bench, his arrogant and contemptuous eyes seemed to say, "Xiaogou, can you do it?"

Stephen Curry couldn't help biting his braces hard, and said in his heart: "Damn Qin, your bench press is not as good as mine."

But soon.
Curry suddenly thought that Qin Dong's physical fitness has indeed improved a lot recently, stronger than himself.

"Is it true that he practiced more as he said?" Curry thought suspiciously.

Looking at Qin Dong on the field, Stephen Curry couldn't help but make up his mind that in addition to training his core strength, he must also strengthen his physical fitness.

On the court, the game progressed to 4 minutes and 12 seconds of the second quarter.

Pacers attack.

Roy Hibbert asked for the ball at the basket and TJ Ford passed it out.

Qin Dong went to the basket immediately and double-teamed Roy Hibbert with Biedrins.

Roy Hibbert didn't find his teammates to complete the ball in the first time. Seeing that it was 3 seconds before the basket, Hibbert chose to force it in a hurry.

"Dang!"
Put the basket and strike the iron.

Andris Biedrins protects the defensive rebound.

Warriors fast break.

Monta Ellis took the lead, and Danny Granger quickly returned to defense.

At this time, Ellis was not in a hurry to score a layup, but slowed down a little and passed the ball to Qin Dong who was fast down on the right.

At this time, it was TJ Ford who defended against Qin Dong.

After Qin Dong caught the ball and dribbled for one step, he took three steps directly.

Relying on the advantages of height, wingspan and tonnage strength, TJ Ford made a layup in the air.

"Eh"

"Eh"

There were bursts of regret at the Warriors' home court.

But in a blink of an eye, an exclamation sounded.

Qin Dong took off the offensive rebound above the head of 183cm tall TJ Ford, made a humiliating hook and made a hit.

The Pacers have a big center at the basket and Danny Granger's help defense, which makes the Warriors' top scorer Monta Ellis' efficiency in breaking through and attacking the basket drop sharply.

As of now, only 5 points have been scored.

But Roy Hibbert's shortcomings are obvious, the speed of returning to defense is slow, and the ability to play the ball after being double-teamed is insufficient.

Even if he gets the ball under the basket, he will either hit the iron hard, or the passed ball cannot form an effective "one-pass kill". Simply put, even if his teammates receive the ball from him, there are defensive players around him.

At 6 minutes and 01 seconds into the second quarter of the game, Curry came to the sidelines, ready to play in the dead ball round.

On the court, Qin Dong took the initiative to help Corey Maggette pick and roll.

Pacers guard Deng Tai-Jones was hung up, Qin Dong bounced out again, and Corey Maggette rushed straight to the basket.

Maggette is very good at drawing fouls.
It is the Magneto King of James Harden's generation. Of course, this only refers to the ability to draw fouls.

Maggette ran towards Roy Hibbert.

Seeing Maggette's step-by-step layup deliberately "exposing" the basketball, Roy Hibbert, who had already been fooled once, still couldn't hold back and started again.

"Crack!"
The palms of NBA players are large, and there is a "ball-hand integration" in the basket, but this does not mean that it can hit the player's arm.

A crisp voice sounded.

Maggette successfully lured Hibbert to hit his arm, "Drip!" The referee whistled.

However, at this time, Maggette, who has excellent upper body strength and grip strength, did not cut off the basketball in his hand, and made a coherent movement after the whistle to score a layup.

AND-ONE!

2+1!

At this time, cheers erupted at the Warriors' home court.

Qin Dong immediately gave Corey Maggette a high-five to celebrate, and said passionately: "Dude, I said you can do it."

"Qin, you are right, I still have a lot of room for improvement"

"I'm going to keep getting up at [-] a.m. to study the NBA."

Corey Maggette also responded excitedly, but thinking that the referee was still around, he swallowed the 'words' that almost blurted out.
