Chapter 124: Ronnie Fields
Although Ikegami made consecutive three-pointers during the warm-up, the players of the Farragut Academy basketball team were only surprised and continued to warm up.
Perhaps, in their opinion, even the players selected by Japanese universities will only be abused by them here, after all, there is a big gap between the basketball level of Japan and the United States.
Ten minutes later, after the players on both sides were physically active, Coach Douglas signaled for a substitute to act as a referee, and the game officially began.
It was the center forwards of both sides who jumped the ball, Kentaro Sakurai and Kevin Garnett.
Don't look at Kentaro Sakurai's tall and sturdy life, but that's in Japan. Compared with Garnett, the height difference is obvious, the difference is nearly ten centimeters, not to mention Garnett's perverted arm span.
Not only that, but there is also a gap between the two in terms of bouncing, and compared to each other, Kentaro Sakurai is more like a floor flow player.
As the referee threw the basketball high into the air, Garnett jumped high as soon as he reached the highest point, but Kentaro Sakurai was a beat late.
It's not that Kentaro Sakurai reacts slowly, but the height reached by the two is not at the same level, and if he jumps with Garnett, Kentaro Sakurai can't even touch the ball at all.
But even so, by the time Garnett reached the ball, there was almost half a favored gap.
Garnett slapped the basketball straight at Arnold Johnson, and Ikegami, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately lifted it up, stuck Arnold Johnson on the side, and stealed the ball.
It's just that the power coming from the side makes Ikegami a little dark, and the strength of the black man is really good, and the strength is about to catch up with him.
Of course, there is also a gap in strength between blacks and blacks, Arnold Johnson's physical fitness can only be regarded as an ordinary level among blacks, while Chigami is close to the top level among the yellow race, which shows the difference between the two races in terms of physical fitness, and it is no wonder that most of the people who play in the NBA are blacks, especially in the current era, basketball is a sport that relies on the body after all.
As soon as he grabbed the basketball, Chi Shang was in disguise, easily broke through Arnold Johnson, who was a somewhat light enemy, and rode straight through the middle circle and went straight to the penalty area.
At the same time, the starters of the Farragut College basketball team immediately returned to the defense, and the difference in speed was clearly visible at this time, with Ronnie Fields running the fastest, followed by Arnold Johnson and Garnett, while the other two were hung behind. From the side, Garnett's pace is still very good, comparable to that of a defender.
As soon as he stepped into the restricted area, Chishang jumped directly, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and wanted to slam the dunk.
He wanted to bring up the morale of the team from the beginning, so that the later games would be easier to play, after all, there was a difference in height between the two sides, especially on the inside.
Ikegami just made a jump, and Ronnie Fields, who was closely behind Ikegami, raised his speed again, and appeared straight in front of Ikegami, and then he also jumped up, with an amazing speed of bounce, and slapped the basketball with one hand.
Syllable!
In mid-air, Ronnie Fields obviously underestimated Ikegami's strength, and although his hand slapped on the basketball, he did not cover it, but froze in mid-air.
It's just that even so, Ronnie Fields has not changed, he knows very well how perverted his degree of stagnation is, not to mention the yellow race in front of him, I'm afraid that few people in the NBA can compare.
But at this moment, Ikegami also straightened his waist and abdomen, but then he withdrew the basketball with one hand, passed the ball behind in mid-air, and handed the ball to Kashima Kaedesui who was in an empty position.
Since the opposing players were far away, Kaede adjusted a bit before throwing the basketball in his hand.
Brush!
It was a two-point shot, and although Kaede Kaede figured out the power needed for a three-point shot in the warm-up, the shooting percentage was not guaranteed.
"Friend, what's your name?" said Ikegami in English as he looked solemnly at Ronnie Fields in front of him after falling.
"Ronnie Fields!"
Ronnie Fields looked surprised, except for Ikegami's miraculous pass, which was his English level. Although it was difficult for him to speak, he was able to communicate normally.
At this time, the other Japanese players also heard the bird language spoken by Ikegami, and although they couldn't understand it, they were shocked to drop their jaws.
"He speaks English so well!"
"How is it possible to communicate with foreigners!"
"I'm dreaming!"
"Ah, it seems that he is an honor student. ”……
Instead of paying attention to the surprise and ridicule of his teammates, Ikegami lowered his head and pondered, he always felt that the name was a little familiar.
"Ronnie Fields, Ronnie Fields! Damn, this isn't the jumping guy who got hit by a car!"
As soon as he had something to think about, Ikegami couldn't help but have some information about Ronnie Fields in his mind. THE MOST FAMOUS THING FOR THIS PRODUCT IS THE ABILITY TO BOUNCE, WITH A VERTICAL TAKE-OFF HEIGHT OF 50 INCHES, OR 127CM. Yes. It's not a run-up jump, it's a vertical jump.
This genius high school often staged free-throw line dunks, and it was precisely because of his existence that Carter, the new flyer at that time, did not dare to participate in the National High School Slam Dunk Contest.
Not only that, in 1993-96, Ronnie Fields was selected for the National High School Team three times and was selected for the McDonald's All-Star Team once, which shows his strength. He also became the first player to make a second appearance at Nike's All-American training camp in 1993, which included Garnett and Allen Iverson, as well as Naismith basketball winners Ron Metzer and Jarrod Ward.
Fields scored a total of 2,609 points in his high school career, which is also the highest record in the history of a high school in the entire state of Chicago. One of those years he averaged 32 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, four steals and four blocks per game.
In high school, Garnett had a one-on-one bullfight with Fields, which turned out to be 1:11.
Unfortunately, it was such a talented player with amazing strength and physical fitness, but in 1996, he was in a car accident and suffered a serious neck injury, so that he had to wear a brace until his neck recovered, which seriously affected his basketball career and caused him to be able to play in the minor league in the future. Otherwise, with his strength and fame, once he participates in the NBA draft, he will not only be crowned as Jordan's successor, but also likely to grow into a superstar.
Just as Ikegami was pondering, Garnett served on the baseline and immediately passed the ball to Arnold Johnson.
Almost at the same time, Ikegami also came to his senses, and now it was the game, and he couldn't afford to think about all that mess.
The speed of the two can be said to be quite almost, entangled through the center circle, Arnold Johnson saw that he could not break free from the pool in a short time, and immediately handed the ball to the core of the team, Ronnie Fields.
As soon as he received the basketball, Ronnie Fields started instantly, accelerated past Takamiya Motoyu in two consecutive disguises, jumped directly at one step in the free throw line, stretched his whole body to the fullest, and swung his feet through both sides of Kentaro Sakurai's shoulders, and poured the ball into the basket with one hand!
Rumble!
Onslaught!
At this moment, the stadium instantly became audible, and the Japanese players had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
