Chapter 249 Under Control of the Rhythm

Yang Ke also knew that the game would not leave him much time to think.So Yang Ke just stared at Wallace, and when he thought of a certain guess of his own, he made a decision in the blink of an eye.

Bang!
With a sharp shot of the basketball, Yang Ke rushed into the inside line in an instant, sprinted two steps and kicked the ground to take off strongly, holding the basketball in his right hand, it seemed that he was about to go straight to the basket.

Seeing this, Wallace, who had been following closely behind him, also jumped up vigorously, like a ferocious tiger, pounced fiercely on Yang Ke, aiming at the basketball in his hand.

Out of the corner of Yang Ke's eyes, of course he saw this scene. He had personally experienced Wallace's big hat, so he definitely didn't want to encounter it again.

Before his body had risen to the highest point, Yang Ke dexterously retracted his arms, and pulled the lever slightly in front of his chest, causing his body to turn sideways.At the same time, at this moment, the ball was transferred to the left hand, just avoiding the arm that Wallace threw, and he wanted to pull the bar in the air and change hands for a layup!
As a historical defensive player, Wallace has seen countless pull-up layups, and he also has special defenses against them.

To be honest, in Wallace's eyes, Yang Ke's pull-up layup was far inferior to Kobe and others he had defended head-on. Therefore, Wallace was full of confidence in blocking this shot.

However, just when Wallace wanted to move his arms horizontally in the air, he discovered in horror that his body was no longer under his control.Then, he actually felt his body start to drop!
…………

"We can see Yang misplaced on Wallace again. Yang didn't choose to pass the ball. He accelerated! Breakthrough!"

"Take off! Yang is facing the difficulties again like the previous round! Is this a dunk...Yang dodged Wallace's arm...WOW! Beautiful layup in the air!"

In the excited voice of the commentator, Yang Ke has already picked the basketball into the net with the fingers of his left hand.The fans and spectators at the Pistons' home court became extremely dull at this moment, as if a fragile bone was stuck in their chest.

"call!"

Both feet landed smoothly, Yang Ke first stabilized his body, and then let out a long sigh of relief.Glancing at Wallace with a complex expression beside him, he turned silently and ran towards the defensive half.

An excellent point guard must not only be an excellent observer, but must also be a person with an overall view.When a loophole is detected, the point guard is often the first to make an attempt to verify whether it is an opponent's trap.

In fact, in the last defensive round, Yang Ke noticed that Wallace's footsteps moved a lot slower, and guessed that he must be tired.For this reason, Yang Ke took the risk of being blocked and forced a breakthrough layup against Wallace who followed him.

And the result is also obvious, although the spirit is still very energetic and the fighting spirit is still strong, but Wallace's body is very honest and has reached its limit.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Wallace is 38 years old this year, and his physical function has already reached the end. It is not easy to persist in such a high-intensity game until now.

In the transition between offense and defense, Stuckey with the ball stopped outside the three-point line again. Every time he had the intention of stepping into the three-point line, Leonard would post it without hesitation.The extremely oppressive defense made him extremely uncomfortable.

Bang!Bang!
Slapping the basketball, Stuckey gestured to Wallace in the post, who immediately ran to the high post to set a screen for him.Leonard, who had been prepared for a long time, retreated a little earlier, so he was able to bypass Wallace very quickly.

Blair, who came out following Wallace, did not forget to turn half of his figure sideways, stretched out his arms, and deliberately hindered Stucky.Leonard's pursuit and Blair's delay gave Wallace a short gap.

Although the media and fans have always said that Wallace's offense is rough, but that is only compared to other insiders in the league.And he still has no problem with routine conscious actions such as cutting in and quick release.

The moment the gap appeared, Wallace immediately stepped to the basket, while staring sideways at Stuckey, ready to catch the ball at any time.Stuckey, who took the opportunity to run along the three-point line, saw Wallace's movement, and threw the ball directly without thinking.

It's now!

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Yang Ke, who had noticed Wallace and Stucky's cooperation early, rushed to the side beside Wallace in an instant.

When he just touched the basketball and before he could hold it firmly, Yang Ke stretched out his right arm quickly, and dexterously pulled the ball out of Wallace's hands.Wallace didn't have time to react at all, and the ball was cut off simply and neatly.

After running past Wallace, Yang Ke caught up with the rebounding basketball in a few steps and regained control of the ball with one hand.The next moment, he turned around and looked up, only to see two people rushing towards the front court.

Leonard and Wallace!

"Dude!"

With a high-profile roar, Yang Ke held the basketball in the palm of his right hand, then swung his arm violently, throwing the ball forward.

Of course, the distance is too far, it is difficult for Leonard to get it easily, so the target point of Yang Ke's pass is the basket.

Looking back, Leonard quickly noticed Yang Ke's intentions, and the frequency of shaking his feet accelerated again in an instant, and Leonard had completed the second acceleration in the blink of an eye.

Wallace, who was chasing after him, had already gritted his teeth and tried his best, but the distance between them not only did not shrink, but even further widened.

In this way, Wallace could only watch helplessly. Leonard, who stepped into the inside, jumped up like a seal, caught the flying basketball in the air, and dunked directly into the net with his backhand.

it's over!
In the extremely quiet home atmosphere, on the Pistons bench, Frank sighed helplessly, got up silently, walked to the technical table and asked for a timeout.

"The Pistons request a timeout!"

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Hearing the voice ringing in his ears, Wallace finally stopped, lifted the corner of his clothes and wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened his mouth to the maximum, and breathed in fresh air quickly.

Is my terminal already reached?
With some tears in his eyes, Wallace looked back at the young Leonard, bowed his head unwillingly, shrugged his shoulders, turned and walked slowly towards the field.

yeah, i'm getting old...

"Crack! Crack!"

Suddenly, clear applause sounded, Wallace turned his head suspiciously, but saw Yang Ke standing on the sidelines, applauding in rhythm.The next moment, he suddenly found that all the Spurs also started applauding.

Suddenly, the fans and spectators at the scene seemed to have noticed something, stood up spontaneously, and shouted loudly.The sound gradually became incomparably neat from the chaos at the beginning.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

Stunned in place, Wallace looked up and looked around, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he saw himself who won the championship back then.Gradually, the corners of Wallace's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes became clear again.

Once, after another friend such as Wallace was traded, he really thought that this alliance had been filled with interests and money.But now I realize that the human touch will always exist, but no one has ever brought it to the surface.

Looking at Yang Ke one last time, Wallace straightened up, met the eyes of his teammates, and slowly walked off the court...

Interesting rookie, no, should be a respectable opponent!Although I will come to an end eventually, I can proudly say: I did not lose to myself, nor to anyone, nor to you, but to time...
