When Mike Miller arrived at the ball, he easily caught the ball without any hesitation. He directly bent his knees slightly and jumped up lightly. His body bloomed in the air, very stretched. With a shake of his wrist, the basketball in his hand flew out.
A full moon-like arc was drawn in the air.

Bang!
There was a crisp iron strike.
Jason Williams missed a long three-pointer.
This was his specialty, but he didn't expect that his gamble would not be successful if his hands were not on the line.
However, the gorgeous and unconstrained style of attack is still a bit shocking.
Under the basket, Stoudemire and Gasol huddled together, fighting for rebounds.
Stoudemire has a good body and almost pushed Gasol out of the paint.
However, Gasol's height of 213cm is very dominant, and his wingspan is very good. Although his body is thin, he has problems with strength confrontation.
