There are many differences between street basketball and regular basketball games. Not necessarily 3v3, but 1v 1. In addition, there are many actions in streetball that are regarded as fouls in regular basketball. But street basketball emphasizes publicity, chic, provocation and humiliation, so many actions become "freestyle shows". And many movements are like dancing with the ball, accompanied by music, which is passed down from the black hiphop culture.
The difference in rules is the biggest, and some obvious walking and dribbling twice are not allowed. As long as you can give full play to your personality, make fancy movements, and sometimes even deliberately touch the ball with your feet, it is allowed. I don't pay much attention to the streetball service. As long as you are strong, as long as you can fool your opponent, as long as your movements are attractive enough, it is streetball.
In addition to the exaggerated and creative basketball style, street basketball is also different from the mainstream basketball at that time: after each street basketball game, the audience will rush to the basketball court and dance with the players accompanied by black pop music played by the band. After World War II, with the rapid increase of population in major cities in the United States, street basketball as a leisure form has been accepted and welcomed by more and more people. Businessmen predicted the potential commercial value of "street basketball" and packaged this amateur league into a high-level professional league. In 1950s, new york Holcomb Rucker held the first formal street basketball game in Harlem, Manhattan, new york. NBA Hall of Fame players Dr. J and Chamberlain both left their own figures in Harlem's street basketball game. Harlem is also used in the name of the team by many famous street basketball teams because of its special significance in the history of street basketball.
Allen iverson, an active player in NBA, was the first to bring the basketball style of street basketball into NBA. When Iverson 1996 first entered the NBA, his unique basketball style was not immediately recognized by everyone. NBA legend charles barkley once called Iverson "the best juggling rookie of the year" instead of "the best NBA rookie of the year". But on 200 1, Iverson led the Philadelphia 76 ers into the NBA finals, and the development of street basketball finally reached a new climax. ...
Alston the magician
Alston, 6' 2 ",was born in South Jamaica, new york. At the age of 65,438+05, he had fought in the bullring on the streets of new york and made a name for himself in the most dangerous and sinister "rock park". The ball is sharp and sharp, and his signature action is a slick cross, which is dazzling both behind and under his legs. The surprise and creativity of basketball combined with various rotations are puzzling, and sometimes even Alston can't "rewind" the performance. Everything is a "chemical change" in basketball.
Alstom's nickname "Skip to my Lou" is also a compliment that the announcer blurted out when he was surprised by a magical action in the "Rock Park" EBC competition. "Jump to My Building" is a song with beautiful rhythm, lightness and hip hop flavor.
One of the lyrics: "What should I do if I lose my partner? Jump to my building, my dear ...",
To describe Alstom's lively style.
At that time, Alston challenged Conrad McRae, a former star of Syracuse University who was also born in new york (he died of a heart attack in the Magic Summer League in 2000). Mcrae, who is 6 feet 8 inches tall, saw Alston go straight into the restricted area and got up to block his way. He saw Alston shooting with his right hand in mid-air, and suddenly the ball disappeared from McRae's sight. But people around you can clearly see that the ball rolled along Alston's right arm to his right shoulder, nape of the neck, left shoulder and left hand, and was passed to Zendon Hamilton, who was studying at St.John's. Hamilton caught Alston's free dunk at the basket.
This goal made everyone dumbfounded instantly, not because of Hamilton's dunk, but because of Alston's "air magic". While thinking about how Alstom "stole the day" and "stole the day", he burst into warm applause. The announcer titled Skip to my Lou.
NBA players can't stay.
Alstom's magic skill does not stop there. In a game in Queens, his opponent was beaten around by Alston because he was unhappy, which made Alston push him from behind. Only Alston turned around and took the ball around his opponent. The "white-eyed" opponent held his head and blocked the ball at a loss, only to see the ball bounce off his front foot and then return to Alston's hand, just like a "yo-yo", which made his opponent lose face. Other tricks, such as dribbling under the opponent's crotch and turning around behind his back, also make the defender look like an idiot, and then score easily or pass the assists to his teammates, which makes the fans very happy. He is a veritable "basketball artist" or "basketball Showman", not to mention that ordinary street matadors don't want to meet Alston, and even NBA stars in new york don't want to meet Alston occasionally in the street basketball court. Marbury admitted that he was taught a lesson by Alston, and even anthony mason, who has always been known for his tough defense in the NBA, refused to defend Alston.
Some people who have never seen Alston play, but watched the video of Alston's game, shook their heads and said, "Who is Alston?" 」; Witchcraft star guard Mitch Richmond saw Alston's video, and his response was more concise and powerful. He only said one word: "Damn it! 」
Why can such a geek only "perform" in the street basketball court, but not enter the NCAA University basketball court, and then wait to be snared by the NBA and make a lot of money? If nothing else, Alston's academic performance is really bad! The university coach shook his head at his skills and studies and could only watch him in the bullring.
