Chapter 246 Sportsmanship
Wallace's reaction was quick, his eyes kept observing Yang Ke's jumping feet, and he saw that Yang Ke was using both feet to take off.Immediately put pressure on his lower body with his thighs as he jumped up.

Jumping can be done with one foot or with both feet.If you are jumping on one foot, you can stop after jumping the first step, and then use the foot that jumped the first step as the pivot foot to shoot and pass the ball.

But if you are jumping with both feet, once your layup is blocked and you choose to give up, you must shoot or pass the ball directly on the spot after your feet land on the ground.Moreover, both feet cannot move in the slightest, otherwise, he would be violating the walking rules.

So Wallace did this entirely to cut off Yang Ke's back, so that he could only stick to his own defense and force a layup.

Of course Yang Ke also knew this. After all, anyone whose lower body is under pressure will move his feet to adjust when he lands.Therefore, at this moment, he is on the verge of an arrow, and has no choice but to send it!

Looking at Wallace's raised arm in the air, Yang Ke's face was extremely solemn. He knew very well that all the lines in his straight line had been blocked by Wallace.

If you do not make adjustments and continue to rise like this, it is tantamount to facing difficulties.Under the premise that the physical confrontation is at a disadvantage, there will be only one end for Yang Ke, and that is to be blocked by Wallace again.

Gritting his teeth tightly, Yang Ke made up his mind in an instant, tightened his abdomen and wrists while his body was still rising, and bent his hands slightly inward to protect the basketball.

When Yang Ke jumped to the highest point, he slammed the ball down and pulled the bar, transferred the ball to his right hand, and rotated the ball with his fingertips so that the ball could move as he wanted.

As long as Yang Ke pulls his right hand over Wallace's hands that are used to block shots, and then throws the ball to the basket according to his feeling.Regardless of whether you make it in the end, this is a very complete set of levers to change hands for layups.

The pull-up layup is an advanced basketball technique. This action is both difficult and beautiful, and has high requirements for the user's waist strength and time in the air.And the twisting action in the air is more dangerous, especially in fierce physical confrontation, it is easy to get injured.

And because Yang Ke didn't think about pulling the bar at the beginning, he didn't use all his strength to take off, so the time spent in the air this time was very short.Just halfway through the pull rod action, he had already had a direct physical confrontation with Wallace.

Yang Ke, who was pulling the bar, lost his balance in the air without any preparation. The basketball slipped from his right hand, and his body fell to the ground at a ninety-degree angle.

Looking at the basketball that came out of his hand, Wallace was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to grab the ball into his arms. When it landed, he saw Yang Ke who was falling.

Without thinking about it, Wallace immediately threw the ball aside, first supported Yang Ke with his body, and then hugged him tightly with both hands until he landed.

"call!"

When falling, Yang Ke completely lost control of his body, everything seemed so empty.Fortunately, Wallace's help made him feel at ease again.

Protecting Yang Ke from landing smoothly, Wallace immediately let go of his hands, patted him on the back with a smile, and said, "Hey, kid, are you okay!"

"It's okay, thank you!"

Gulping the air, Yang Ke said gratefully from the bottom of his heart.If Wallace hadn't rescued him in time just now, and he lost his balance and fell down, there is a high possibility that he would be accidentally injured.

"Di!"

At this time, the referee blew his whistle again, but it was not because the basketball thrown by Wallace had rolled off the court.It was because, seeing this unexpected situation, Popovich called a timeout again.

"Be careful, don't let the injury find you!"

Wallace nodded, then turned around and walked off the court in silence with his teammates.Wallace obviously treats all athletes playing in the league equally. He doesn't want any young people who are struggling to ruin their careers due to accidental injuries.

This is especially true for Yang Ke, an Asian player. As a black player, Wallace is well aware of some small chains of contempt deep in the shadow of the league.Wallace's influence is not great, and he can't change those things. The only thing he can do is to help.

"call!"

With a sigh of relief, Yang Ke really admired Wallace's sportsmanship. He had already got the basketball and could launch a counterattack at any time.But in order to lend a helping hand, not only lost the opportunity, but also sent the ball.

Slowly walking down the court, Yang Ke immediately saw Popovich standing on the sidelines, and his gloomy gaze made him slightly taken aback.

Forehead!
For nearly a season, Yang Ke still has a certain degree of understanding of Popovich, and he is very clear about the current situation.If he doesn't do something, he will be substituted, cool off.

After walking in a few steps, Yang Ke turned up his clothes and wiped his sweat, and said, "Coach, there will be no next time. I got on the head just now, and I have calmed down now."

"..."

Staring straight at Yang Ke for a few seconds, Popovich chose to believe him after a long silence, nodded slowly, then turned and walked back to the bench without saying a word.

Yang Ke followed the coach back to the bench. Just as he took the towel and drink bottle from the caddy, the teammates around him began to ask about his situation. Yang Ke didn't hide anything, and just gave a brief introduction.

Soon after the timeout ended, everyone went straight to the court. During this timeout, Popovich still did not make any tactical adjustments.

Since Wallace voluntarily gave up the basketball just now, the technical table recorded a mistake by him, so the ball is in the hands of the Spurs, and the attack time is still 24 seconds.

Yang Ke took Green's serve, dribbled twice, and glanced at Wallace from a distance.Then he flicked his wrist, and under the puzzled eyes of all the fans, he slapped the ball back to the referee outside the court.

The lineman on duty subconsciously caught the ball and froze in place for an instant.The other players on the Spurs field seemed to have been prepared, and followed Yang Ke directly to the defensive half.

"This kid! Not bad!"

Wallace was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and walked towards the front court.In the next second, the other members of the Pistons all reacted, with thoughtful smiles on their faces, and slowly moved.

This is the choice made by Yang Ke, since Wallace can choose to give up the opportunity for the sake of sportsmanship.He can also give up offense for the sake of attitude. When Yang Ke told his teammates on the bench, everyone agreed.

"This…"

Looking at this scene, Borrego's eyes widened, and he held back for a long time before he could say a complete sentence, "Is there something wrong with this choice?"

Shaking his head, Popovich stroked the silver-white beard on his chin with his hands, and with praise in his eyes, he said slowly, "No, this is the best choice."
