I'm really a slam dunk

Chapter 66 Duke VS Kenyon
On the training ground.

To be challenged by Kenyon by name made Du Qi somewhat unexpected, but it was reasonable.

Du Qi looked at Kenyon seriously.

During the regular season, when he gradually became the third star of the Nets, Kenyon was dissatisfied with himself.

Well, it would be more appropriate to call you unhappy.

Du Qi could feel these subtle emotions, and so could Kidd and the others.

So Kidd and the others were not too surprised to see this scene.

I just feel that what Kenyon did at this moment was a bit "extreme".

'Why did he say it so loudly? '

Du Qi thought of a possibility. He was afraid that he would do it to show the manager or, at worst, the coaches when he announced loudly that he wanted to challenge himself.

Because Bishop Jesses and Coach Painter just walked away.Kenyon's voice they must have heard.

Just at this time.

Jesses and Painter had already stopped and turned to look this way.

Now that he was named, Du Qi responded to Kenyon Martin and said:
"I accept your challenge, what do you think?"

Seeing this scene, Kidd wanted to be a peacemaker, so he came out to persuade Kenyon Martin, but was stopped by the latter.

And Du Qi also reached out his hand to signal Kidd not to persuade him.

"Uh……"

Kidd stood between Du Qi and Kenyon, and when he saw that they all stretched out their palms to him to stop him from persuading him, he could only smile awkwardly, and stepped back knowingly.

Kenyon: "We have 3 goals, 3 goals and 2 wins!"

"Okay, as you like."

Du Qi was not pretentious either, he calmly walked to the basketball hoop where the basketballs were placed on the sidelines, and took out a dark red basketball.

Walk back to Kenyon:

"Are you attacking first or me?"

"You are the junior, you go first."

Du Qi raised his eyebrows, junior?
How arrogant is this?
But Du Qi didn't argue with him either. To conquer a person is never to be conquered by words, but by actions.

Du Qi grabbed the ball with one hand and reached the center circle of the court.

Kenyon came to the opposite side of Du Qi with burning eyes, opened his arms and lowered his center of gravity.

The Nets players, including Kidd, talked softly, waiting to see the duel between Duke and Kenyon:

"Only in terms of personal ability, do you think Du is better or Kenyon is better?"

"Of course Kenyon!"

"I think it is also Kenyon. Kenyon's ability is very comprehensive, whether it is inside rebounding or outside dribbling, he can do a job with ease.

And Duke,
Although he has a strong three-point shooting talent and superb jumping ability, these two points seem to be at a disadvantage in individual duels. "

"It makes sense."

Jesses and Painter in the distance watched Duke and Kenyon face off with great interest.

Jesse said:

"Coach Painter, what do you think is Kenyon's chance of winning against Du?"

"The odds are great."

Painter said, "But in my mind, Du's talent is better than Kenyon's."

"You, you like to say good things for Du."

"No, I'm just telling the truth."

"Hehe, you still don't admit it...Kenyon really has an advantage in challenging Du Qi alone. He just needs to stick close to Du Qi."

"Yes, Du's dribbling ability is a bit bad, which will make him suffer."

"Look, the duel has begun."

To be fair, they chose Kidd as the referee.

boom!
boom!
Du Qi dribbled the ball and started the first attack.

"I have to stay close to him and prevent him from shooting three-pointers from beyond the arc."

Kenyon Martin's mind is running fast, and as a teammate, he knows the characteristics of Du Qi like the back of his hand.

"He really stuck close to me to defend."

Du Qi looked indifferent, but his eyes were firm.

Doesn't he know Kenyon well?

Bang bang bang!
and so.

Dookie picks up the tempo of the dribble, pushing Kenyon sideways.This dribbling action is a great way to protect the basketball from being stolen.

Of course, this can be guaranteed in single-player duels. If it is a team match, it is difficult to say, because it is easy to lose the ball when encountering outflanking.

"I always feel that Du's dribbling ability has improved a lot!"

"is it?"

"I feel it too."

When the teammates on the sidelines were talking, Du Qi suddenly stopped!

at this time.

Du Qi has already pushed Kenyon to the outside of the three-point line.And when Du Qi stopped suddenly, Kenyon immediately became vigilant.

The center of gravity of the lowered body was also raised a lot, and he knew Du Qi was going to jump and shoot a three-pointer.

Not only Kenyon, but also Kidd and the others think so.

"Du still has to shoot three-pointers to beat Kenyon. I don't know how he feels now."

"It's actually a little risky. If you can't hit a three-pointer, then nine out of ten the ball will be missed, giving Kenyon a chance."

"Yes."

And just when they thought so, Kenyon raised his center of gravity and was ready to jump up at any time to interfere with Dookie's three-point shot, but they saw Dookie who stopped suddenly and suddenly rushed to the right.

This move caught Kenyon Martin off guard.

Hastily follow the past to defend.

But as he followed suit, Du Qi dribbled the ball and retreated, and his feet that had just entered the three-point line retreated outside the three-point line.

And in such a flash.

Duke got rid of Kenyon Martin in this brief moment.

It's now!

Du Qi jumped up decisively, aimed at the basket, kicked, and shot.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

1:0.

"I'll go, when did Duke's dribbling ability become so good?"

"There's a feeling of seeing people with admiration after three days' separation!"

"Swayed Kenyon away!"

The Nets players who stayed on the sidelines all had their eyes brightened, and they felt their eyes shined for Du Qi's dribbling ability.

Jesses and Painter, who were watching from a distance, were also slightly moved.

But nothing was said.

For these coaches.

A good dribble once or twice doesn't mean anything, because even a pheasant can fly, who hasn't been in a good state?
Duqi scored the first goal on the field and changed positions with Kenyon Martin.

The latter looked a little ugly.

Boom!

Kenyon took control of the ball and slowly moved inside.

And Duke.

It is not intended to defend on the outside, and directly retreats to the edge of the reasonable collision zone on the inside.

"This... is interesting~"

"If Kenyon is shooting from the outside, it's going to be unguarded."

Du Qi's defense was beyond everyone's expectations.

It's the first time I've seen something so defensive!

But soon.

The players of the Nets also understood that Du Qi is making use of his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.He knew that his speed was not as fast as Kenyon, so he simply gave up the range of the outside line and wanted to compete with Kenyon inside.

As for their understanding of Kenyon, Kenyon is the gatekeeper of the inside line.

The outside hit rate is not high, only 48% chance.

From this perspective,

What Du Qi did was actually a "gamble".

"Haha, this Du really won't stop until he makes a fool of himself."

Coach Jesses in the distance couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

"He's betting."

"But if you don't gamble, if he confronts Kenyon on the outside, the chance of losing the ball is even greater."

"Is such that."

When the two coaches analyzed, Kenyon also understood Du Qi's intention.

"Want to gamble?"

Kenyon's eyes lit up.

For Duke, it's a gamble.

For him, if he shoots from the outside, there will be no pressure.But in this case, it is tantamount to a gamble, because his shooting percentage from the outside line is only 48% without interference from the outside line. ball.

Don't gamble!

Kenyon's character is one of steady and steady action.

Bang bang bang!
After Kenyon made up his mind, he speeded up his dribble.Approaching the inside line.

When Kenyon got to Duke's side, Duke also didn't focus on his inward drive.

This was not beyond Kenyon's expectations.

he knows.

When you jump up and shoot, it's the real decisive moment.The only thing Duke can rely on is his excellent jumping ability.

Think so.

Kenyon hits Du Qi with his back and singles, and he heads Du Qi in the reasonable collision zone.

Sudden.

Kenyon speeded up, pushing Du Qi quickly to the basket.

Du Qi was forced to back up again and again, feeling Kenyon's beast-like thrust, he couldn't help but lament that this guy is worthy of being the gatekeeper of the inside line, and his physical confrontation quality is absolutely top-notch.

And right now.

Kenyon withdrew abruptly.

"coming!"

Du Qi tensed up.

I knew Kenyon was going to make a move.

really.

After Kenyon withdrew outwards, seeing that Du Qi was separated by a certain distance, and he was under the basket, he jumped up decisively and dunked the ball into the basket.

The ball was about to be scored.

Sudden.

Du Qi's figure rushed over.

"what?!"

Kenyon saw that even though he got rid of Duke by some distance, Duke still jumped high and reached out to block the block.

He knew that Du Qi could dance very well, but he didn't expect Du Qi to be so good at dancing!

In the previous games, there was someone in Carducci's place, and Duqi's jumping ability was somewhat limited, but now, there is no one else on the field except Kenyon, Duqi's jumping ability is like a wild horse that has run loose Same.

Snapped!
Duke blocked Kenyon.

"Omega~~"

"Du jumps really high!"

"That's how I gave Kenyon a hot pot!"

Kidd, who was the referee, was also surprised.

When he usually played on the court, he had never seen Du Qi jump so well and so high.Of course, this hot pot Du Qi did not foul.

slap.

slap.

Duke and Kenyon landed almost simultaneously.

The blocked ball hit the backboard directly, and bounced out after hitting the backboard.

Huh!
Huh!
Almost at the same time, Duke and Kenyon jumped up and scrambled for a rebound.

As an inside gate, Kenyon has a strong ability to grab rebounds.However, his jumping ability was not as good as Du Qi after all. Du Qi took the first step, grabbed the basketball with both hands and grabbed the rebound.

Kenyon's expression changed.

After Du Qi caught the rebound, he quickly ran out of the three-point line with a bang.

Running out of the three-point line, the ball is considered Du Qi.

Kenyon's eyes were burning. He would never allow Du Qi to run beyond the three-point line, because once Du Qi was outside the three-point line, he would jump up and shoot directly.

When Duke was about to reach beyond the three-point line,
Kenyon catches up, ready to steal the ball behind Duke's unawares.

Du Qi quickly turned sideways to protect the ball, and soon reached beyond the three-point line.

As soon as he reached beyond the three-point line, Du Qi directly collected the ball and raised his arms.

"Don't even think about it!"

Kenyon jumped to his feet.

And at the moment he jumped up, he suddenly realized that Du Qi was a fake move!

really.

When Kenyon jumped up, Du Qi directly retracted his posture, and when he reacted and fell, Du Qi jumped up.

"What a beautiful fake move!"

"Duqi's ball handling ability has improved significantly!"

Kenyon was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could only jump up and block the shot.

Du Qi didn't give Kenyon a chance, he leaned back directly, then aimed at the basket, kicked his legs, and shot.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

"This……"

Kenyon Martin looked ashen and stood motionless on the court.

The Nets teammates next to him wanted to praise Du Qi for his good touch.But considering Kenyon's feelings, they opened their mouths, but they all closed their mouths obediently.

2 is better than 0!

Du Qi looked at Kenyon, and wiped the sweat that had already emerged from his forehead:
"I don't think it makes sense to compare the third ball."

"you……"

Kenyon Martin's face turned cloudy and sunny.

He raised the challenge, and now he is the one who is defeated.

As a defeated general, all he felt was humiliation, so how could he have anything else to say?

far away.

Jesses said to Painter: "Coach Painter, the game is over, Kenyon has learned his lesson now."

"I didn't expect Duke to beat Kenyon so easily."

"I didn't think of it either. Du's dribbling ability has obviously improved. I don't think Kenyon has thought of this, right?"

Regardless of whether Kenyon thought his dribbling ability had improved.

But Du Qi was very happy in his heart.

Since adding some dribbling ability, he has not verified how good this dribbling is.

Today is an experiment on Kenyon.

Since we won.

Du Qi didn't miss it any more, put the basketball back in the basket, and prepared to leave.

When passing by Kenyon, Kenyon said:

"Du, I'm not someone who can afford to lose.

Today, you win! "

It took a lot of courage for Kenyon to admit that he lost to Duke.

After finishing speaking, he left with a very dull face.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for challenging Kenyon for victory, rewarding 10000 experience points! 】

……

the next day.

Duke was invited by Cam to the scene of this year's NBA draft.

in the audience.

Cam quietly said to Du Qi: "HI Du, the Andre Iguodala you told me I observed for a while, and he is indeed a potential player.

I have submitted my scouting report to you Nets. "

"It's probably not our turn to snatch him."

"This is a bit of a pity. The main reason is that you are too fierce and led the Nets to achieve such good results. This pick is correspondingly ranked behind."

"..."

NBA draft picks, generally the better the team's record in the previous season, the lower their picks will be.

And vice versa.

of course.

If a good team wants a good pick, it can only be obtained through a trade.

The Nets have no trades, so the players who are favored by scouts and the players who perform well in the NCAA are not the Nets' turn to choose.
