Chapter 122 Didn't Score, But What Does This Assist Count for?
As the toughest man in the league!
JB!
Jimmy Butler.
He can be said to have a unique talent.
This kind of talent is not the so-called height and long arms, nor is it amazing explosiveness and jumping ability.
This kind of talent is a talent called hard work!
Butler pushed forward directly, and poor Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was hit several times by Butler and was pushed directly into the inside.
Seeing that the position was almost right, Jimmy Butler turned around and made a hook shot, preparing to score a layup.
But.
Things are far from that simple.
Because don't forget, there is a mysterious defender on the court right now!
Bang!
At the moment Jimmy Butler made a hook shot, Sashiro jumped up from behind him and blocked him lightly.
Clean and tidy.
Very crisp.
It's still very effective!
This hit directly changed the direction of the ball, and it fell straight down.
Pants code picked up another rebound!
God's favorite pants horse.
Just when Jimmy Butler was about to curse, he suddenly saw Sashiro rushing out at lightning speed.
Sashiro is very fast.
When the other players just turned around, he had already broken through to the position in front of the midfield.
At the same time, Sashiro stretched out a hand to ask for the ball while running continuously.
Butler immediately shouted:
"Go back to defense, the opponent is going to launch a fast break!!"
On this side, Kyle Kuzma did not hesitate at all. He made a powerful and quick pass and passed the ball directly to Sashiro who had run across half the court.
Just when everyone present thought that a very exciting breakthrough and counterattack was about to take place.
The hand that Sashiro was about to catch the ball suddenly changed its position.
From the original fully open palm posture, the fingers are now contracted and the palm is rotated inward.
Then, he put his hand behind his head.
Immediately following.
Bang!!!
Accompanied by a loud bang.
Sashiro simply pushed the ball, which was already flying very fast, out.
After Sashiro's help this time.
The ball accelerates a second time in the air.
Take off directly!!
Call out!!
And the direction of the ball's movement also changed from the original straight line to flying directly towards the baseline of the basketball court!
"Is this a pass? I didn't know and thought it was a missile launch!!"
"Oh my god!! I can hear the sound of the pass from here!"
"How much strength does this take?!"
"Look, the ball is going straight to Nick Young at the baseline!!"
"Holy shit, is this really a pass?!"
"It's too strong!!"
"What a fast ball!"
"Are we going to score!?"
Everyone was shocked.
They had never seen such passing skills.
This ball went straight over the Timberwolves' defense line and came directly in front of Nick Young.
If this goal had been scored, it would undoubtedly have been a very exciting one.
However.
It is a pity.
This ball not only stunned the opponent, but even Nick Young was completely stunned.
This ball is so damn fast!!
Bang...whoosh!
"Oh no!"
Nick Young originally tried to catch the pass with one hand, but it was beyond his expectations.
The ball was so powerful that it flew out of his hands.
Bang…bang…bang…
Unfortunately the ball fell out of bounds.
"drop!"
"The Lakers are out of bounds, exchange the ball!"
...
"Damn, what a pity!"
"Such a good pass was not caught, my God."
"If this ball is received, it will undoubtedly be a very beautiful attack!"
"What a pity."
"But you can see that Nick Young caught the ball, but the ball flew out of his hands."
"Of course you did. Didn't you hear how loud Sashiro made that ball when he hit it?"
"With that much force, it's normal that Nick Young didn't catch it with one hand!"
"It was outrageous, I've never seen a pass like that."
...
After losing the ball, Nick Young's face was filled with self-blame:
"I'm so sorry, I should have caught that ball just now!"
Sashiro smiled.
"It's really okay. There's nothing to blame myself for. This was my first time passing the ball like this. I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
Sashiro also knew that this shot was too surprising for Nick Young.
It is normal for a normal person to not be able to catch such a powerful pass when being unprepared.
It seems that next time, I should control my strength better.
Although.
The goal just now did not complete a complete attack, but at this time in the commentary booth, they were still very surprised by this pass.
"Oh my god, in slow motion we can see how powerful Sashiro's pass was!"
"Look, look here, the ball has even been deformed under the force of his palm!!"
"This is really outrageous!"
"No wonder Nick Young made mistakes. If you are not prepared for this kind of power, you really can't catch it!"
"I guess even if the ball was prepared, most people wouldn't be able to catch it! If this wasn't an NBA game, I'm afraid this ball would have sent my teammates directly to the hospital!"
"Indeed, what you said is not impossible..."
...
The head coach of the Timberwolves off the court had a frown on his face.
He had never seen any player pass the ball in such a way!
Could it be that this goal was just luck?
He doesn't know.
However, judging from this passing skill, he thinks Sashiro now even has the level of a top NBA point guard! !
Maybe the next game will be very difficult...
Jimmy was just blocked by Sashiro and was very unhappy.
Although the Lakers did not score this goal, Jimmy Butler suddenly became serious.
"Okay! Then let's see what happens next!"
Jimmy Butler secretly competed with him.
He turned around with his back to the ball and made a turnaround jump shot, forcing a goal despite the Lakers' double-teaming!
Jimmy Butler touched his $200 million hair.
Roared:
"See? This is f*****g basketball!!"
This shot was indeed very hard, and the Timberwolves played many of the following shots quite seriously.
Led by Butler, Towns finally toughened up at the end of the first quarter and scored twice in a row in the paint.
Wiggins here was even more exciting, as he dunked four times in the first quarter alone.
He also delivered a two-plus-one dunk!!
Everyone feels that the Timberwolves are in great shape today!!
They even limited Sashiro to no points in the first quarter!!
But.
The Timberwolves were so fierce but we found out after one quarter.
Sashiro indeed didn't score a single point.
But...
What happened to those eleven assists?!
