In the commentary box, Wade asked O'Neal:
"So, you think Soma is just walking?"
O'Neill shook his head that reflected the light and replied:
"Actually, I have read the rules of basketball. Some people think that if you jump with both feet at the same time, it is an up and down step, and if you jump with the pivot foot, it is a walk. In fact, the rules do not say this. The rules are very clear:
Players can jump up on their pivot foot to pass or shoot, but neither foot may return to the ground before the ball leaves their hands."
"Do you understand what this means?"
Wade asked in surprise: "In other words, the pivot foot can leave the ground. It doesn't matter whether one foot or both feet take off at the same time, or whether the left foot takes off first or the right foot takes off first. As long as the ball takes off before landing next time,
Just throw it out or pass it out?"
O'Neill nodded: "I'll give you 9 points for your understanding."
Wade didn't care about teasing anymore and looked in disbelief:
"Then the pivot foot I learned before cannot move..."
O'Neal interrupted:
"The pivot foot cannot move, but it can take off. After jumping up, you can shoot or pass the ball. Am I clear enough?"
Wade shook his head repeatedly:
"Then why did I use up and down steps before? One soma step can pass two or three people."
O'Neill nodded:
"This is indeed the case. According to the rules, a soma move does not count as a move. But in our era, it was easy to get beaten to death when playing like this."
Wade still kept shaking his head: "I still can't accept it. In our era, this would definitely be blown away."
O'Neill nodded again:
"Yes, although it is not considered walking according to the rules, this kind of footwork is too rogue. It looks like it is one step more than the normal footwork. This extra step can bring great benefits."
Wade expressed his attitude:
"Do you think the next time I encounter Soma Bu while playing, should I beat him to death or not?"
O'Neill laughed:
"You can't accept it, right? I can't accept it either. If I had used this rogue step when I was playing, would you believe that I would have averaged 60 points per game?"
"Then I have to average 40 per game no matter what."
…
On the court, James was also a little angry due to Zion's provocation.
Moreover, Wang Yi used too much force just now, so he had to let Wang Yi take a break.
So for this ball, he got the ball in the low post and carried Zion inward.
Then he suddenly turned his back and seemed to be about to turn over and shoot a jumper.
Zion quickly jumped up and blocked the shot.
But James put away the ball and stepped forward with his right foot.
Then take off with both feet.
In this way, Zion was completely surpassed.
Easy basket shot.
O'Neill suddenly became excited:
"Step up and down! This is the gait of a normal person!"
Wade also nodded: "This old-school footwork still looks pleasing to the eye. What a soma step and a ridiculous step. I want to hit someone when I see it."
The Pelicans attacked again. After Zion got the ball, he still made a soma step, leaving the thick eyebrow far behind.
James, who was next to him, was holding fire in his heart and had already come over to make up for the defence.
But Zion's bounce is really abnormal.
After the soma step, he directly followed up with a dunk.
James didn't have time to block the shot.
This ball instantly detonated the entire arena.
After Zion landed, he looked at the five players on the Lakers court.
He kept shaking his head and spouting trash talk to the entire Lakers team:
"Are you primitive? Did you just come down from the tree? Is soma step difficult to understand?"
The thick eyebrows glared at Zion hatefully and said to James next to him:
"Do you want a joint defense? Lock this guy up?"
Pope and Zhuang Shen also mean this.
But James shook his head:
"He just wants to anger us, he just wants to change our defense. If they defend in a zone, they will have a chance outside the three-point line."
"We would rather let him score two points every time than let them score three points from the outside."
Zhuang Shen kept shaking his head and said:
"I really want to punch this guy in the head."
James soothed his emotions:
"If we get angry now, we are playing into his trap. But don't worry, we will stop him from laughing at the end of the game."
Now that the boss has spoken, other players can only endure it if they are angry.
But Wang Yi felt very unhappy.
In order to take the overall situation into consideration, you should not be angry. This is indeed true.
But when the opponent repeatedly provokes you, you cannot respond and can only play ball steadily.
Even if I win in the end, I feel very unhappy.
So, he has to respond!
Next, the two sides go back and forth, and each other scores points.
However, the Pelicans' ball brother has never made any achievements.
Played 8 minutes, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals and 3 turnovers.
I can't stand it without scoring, rebounds and steals.
But as a pure point guard, without assists, he made three turnovers in less than one quarter, which is outrageous.
The reason is that he was completely locked up by Wang Yi.
This made the football dad who was sitting at home watching the game itch with hatred.
I thought that I had bragged countless times in my life and been slapped in the face countless times. This time I met a Chinese soft persimmon and finally didn’t need to be slapped in the face.
Unexpectedly, this Chinese guy slapped me in the face harder than the others.
With the final 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the Pelicans attacked.
Zion got another chance.
Facing the defense with thick eyebrows, he had obviously stopped the ball at the free throw line. According to normal footwork, he would not be able to move anywhere at this time.
The thick eyebrows and long arms completely covered him.
But with one soma step, he entered the restricted area in an instant.
Leave your thick eyebrows far behind.
At this time, there was no one in the restricted area.
Zion once again picked the basket and shot!
But this time, the ball just came out.
A figure suddenly flew past his eyes.
Snapped--
There was a crisp sound, like a loud slap in the face.
resounded throughout the arena.
At the same time, accompanied by a Chinese roar:
"Search for Nima's steps!!!"
The basketball suddenly flew far into the audience seats on the sidelines like a volleyball smashed by a volleyball player.
Volleyball hat!
Zion looked up and saw that this person was none other than the Chinese!
He couldn't help but frown.
This guy was clearly on the baseline, why did he suddenly come to the inside?
In fact, when Wang Yi saw Zion stopping the ball at the free throw line and there was no one inside, he knew that this guy was going to use the soma step again.
So Brother Qiu gave up his defense early and went straight to the inside.
Only then did this big volleyball hit come out.
Several Lakers players on the court came over to high-five Wang Yi.
Zhuang Shen looked up to the sky and roared:
"Roar----"
They were constantly ridiculed by Zion, but they were never able to express their anger.
Wang Yi's big volleyball hit made all the players feel mostly angry.
Head coach Vogel on the sidelines frowned slightly when he saw this.
Wang Yi just gave up on defending the baseline ball guy.
If Zion had passed the ball just now, Ball would have had an open shot.
Do you want to talk to Wang Yi later during the break?
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
The game of basketball is result-oriented.
If you hit the ball well, then everything will be easy.
Chapter completed!
