The game between Los Angeles Wilson High School and Long Beach Wilson High School officially began at 10 a.m. on the court, with Lu Yuan playing as the team's starting point guard.

This is Lu Yuan's second game in the United States, and the 29-point defeat in the first game can't help but not dampen Lu Yuan's self-confidence, but makes him more confident, because in the second half, with him, the team is dominant.

However, after the start of this game, Lu Yuan quickly had two feelings: first, after coming to the United States, after a week of training by Teresha, his physical speed has improved; second, in the real game, when the opponent goes all out, his confrontation is still a little unable to keep up.

Long Beach Wilson High School has been one of the top basketball schools in California for nearly a decade, and they are characterized by no superstars and instead rely purely on a holistic style of play, all thanks to their head coach, Harris Middleton, a serious, old-school preppy coach.

No matter what kind of player Long Beach Wilson High School has in place, as long as he's not a pig, Middleton can develop him into a qualified player on the U.S. high school basketball team.

This is a coach who loves defense, pays attention to discipline, and emphasizes teamwork, which is why Long Beach Wilson High School can always remain competitive.

Lu Yuan quickly felt the energy of Long Beach Wilson on the defensive end in the game, with excellent movement, defensive speed, fierce confrontation, and strong defensive ability of interior players.

Each of their positions is very balanced, and the players are unusually strong, Lu Yuan is very suspicious, if Luciano is allowed to play, he will be squeezed into meatloaf by these players.

The game was very hard, and for the first time, Lu Yuan felt like everyone was playing in the same world as himself – on the Chinese court, he was often from another world.

Of course, Lu Yuan still has an advantage in speed, and his fast attack soon made opponents start to be jealous, and Middleton soon discovered that this yellow-skinned kid turned out to be the offensive core of Los Angeles Wilson High School.

Originally, Middleton didn't take Los Angeles Wilson High School in the slightest, and everyone saw what Los Angeles Wilson was like in the past two years, and he didn't even want the team to play this game.

Who knows, in the first half, Los Angeles Wilson High School played well, their free and open offense, simple and clear, and the counterattack was very sharp, Lu Yuan was like a rocket, but whenever there was a little opportunity, he would launch a fast attack, and the success rate was very high.

Middleton used a rarely used defensive formation - box and one, that is, one person to mark, four people to defend in the area, let the team's outside defense masters to keep an eye on Lu Yuan all over the court, and others to defend in the area to curb Lu Yuan's speed.

This kind of defense requires a lot of rotation on the team, and at the same time, it is necessary to hope that the opponent's baseline three-point shot will rot home, and in the average high-level game, no team will use this risky defensive strategy.

But Middleton still boldly used this strategy, and the two teams fit the conditions - Long Beach has a good rotation ability from the outside, while Los Angeles Wilson doesn't have a reliable bottom corner three-point at all, and Los Angeles Wilson High School, which has a simple offense, is quickly locked up.

At the same time, Long Beach Wilson has a lot of soldiers, Middleton is on the field, the whole team is not messy, the offensive and defensive ideas are clear and clear, the players are very strong in execution, and the point difference is quickly widened.

It's just that Los Angeles Wilson High School is like a stubborn donkey, no matter how difficult the situation on the court is and how tight the opponent's defense is, he always rises to the challenge.

There is a major flaw in the defense of Box and One, that is, the defense against air cuts is very poor, and Lu Yuan began to give full play to his air cutting ability, cooperating with Pan Sen to attack the basket.

The point difference has always been maintained at about 10 points, and at the last moment of the first half, Lu Yuan scored two free throws inside, and after hitting all of them, the difference was narrowed to 9 points, within 10 points, which made Hart feel very satisfied.

Throughout the first half, Lu Yuan did not have a minute of rest, he sweated like a pulp, as if he had played a whole game, and the intensity of the game was indeed very great.

Not only is it intense, but it's also super fast-paced, and although the attack time is a full 30 seconds, most of the time the players will choose to shoot around 10 seconds.

At the end of the half, Lu Yuan's arm was covered with fine wounds, which were all cut by the opponent in the game, and the number of these wounds may be more than Lu Yuan's accumulation in a semester in China.

In the second half, Lu Yuan was still insisting, his teammates also did not give up, the score was approaching a little bit, Lu Yuan was more comfortable in offensive options than in the past, he began to organize with the ball on the outside, and would make small cooperation with teammates to feint, help teammates attract defense, shoot from mid-distance, and even occasionally try three points.

Because Hart continues not to teach the players tactics in daily training, all the cooperation depends on the players to explore and get used to it, and Hart will not arrange tactics.

Lu Yuan is learning to play like a normal player - Lu Yuan in the past was actually abnormal, his skills had obvious flaws, he often made very frustrating mistakes like a fool, but the domestic environment had room for mistakes, and at the same time, there were white leaves in the team to carry him.

Now, there is no one to carry him, but he has to carry others, a group of unreliable teammates, plus an unreliable coach, but Lu Yuan can still play with them, back and forth with Long Beach Wilson High School, and even force Middleton to constantly change his moves.

In the second half, Lu Yuan became more and more courageous, although the game was very fierce and the physical exertion was great, but during this period of training plus Trisha training, Lu Yuan's physical fitness was already amazing.

He can still run through the whole court at full speed, can rely on a cover to force the basket, and can fight for frontcourt rebounds.

Long Beach Wilson's hard defense is gradually showing signs of loosening under his onslaught, and the margin is narrowing in the direction of less than 5 points.

As for the fans in Long Beach, it seems that they are not entirely on their side, after all, this game is just an ordinary friendly match, and after the game, the audience begins to become "whoever plays well will support whomever I support".

To talk about playing well, Lu Yuan still has a hand, dunk - although the dunk flies, the backward jumper - one did not score, three-point shot - the shooting rate is average, but he can't stand his posture is really standard and good-looking, after a few rounds, he can be clearly identified from ten people, not to mention that he is also the most unique Chinese face.

When Lu Yuan flew to dunk in another fast attack, a huge cheer broke out on the scene, his lightning speed, and the rapid slam dunk, showing the original power.

The Long Beach Wilson High School basketball team's style of play has always been tepid, rigorous and orderly, and no player can play like Lu Yuan, and can dunk like him like a hot wheel.

This way of playing can infect anyone, whether hostile or not.

Middleton, of course, can't watch Lu Yuan continue to wreak havoc in their penalty area, eating away at their advantages little by little, and even making the fans turn against them, and their defense of Lu Yuan is getting tighter and tighter.

With 5 minutes left before the end of the match, Lu Yuan once again made it inside, this time he didn't succeed, but was knocked down hard by two opponents, and then fell heavily to the ground.

This fall was not light, his back hit the ground, Lu Yuan felt that his right shoulder blade seemed to have hit the ground, and after standing up, he felt a faint pain in his right back.

Hart hurriedly rushed onto the field, asked about Lu Yuan's situation, and then unceremoniously pointed at the two players in Long Beach and scolded, and by the way, Middleton was scolded inside.

Hart was originally a middle-aged man, and he was faceless and skinless when he scolded people, and high school students couldn't stand his scolding, while Middleton was quite high-quality, but he was engaged in sports, who didn't have a big temper, and as a result, the two coaches scolded each other on the sidelines.

The two coaches were scolding each other, but the players from Long Beach stepped forward to ask about Lu Yuan's situation, and his teammates also came to comfort him, and then everyone watched the two coaches quarrel, seeing that the referee couldn't pull it away, and the quarrel was about to start fighting, so the players from both sides went up and pulled the two coaches apart.

This little episode created a little joy on the field, and the fierce players and harmony were not touched by the coach, and at the end Hart was still calling Middleton "a pig with a quill on his ass" - because Middleton's hair was gray, Hart scolded his head as a pig's ass. Middleton, on the other hand, has been scolding "Son of Bitch", and there is still a gap between him and Hart in terms of scolding skills.

The result, of course, was to make the fans laugh at the whole stadium, and Middleton was so angry that he spun around the bench, not knowing how to direct the game.

However, Middleton had nothing to command, because Hart directly asked Lu Yuan to leave the court and follow the school doctor back to the locker room.

Although Lu Yuan felt that he was okay and could continue to play, Hart did not allow the players to have any physical problems, and the American coach was very cautious about the injury problem.

Sitting in the locker room, the school doctor gave Lu Yuan a basic examination and made a few movements, Lu Yuan said that there was no problem, but the school doctor still let Lu Yuan rest.

Lu Yuan sat on the stool, sweat evaporated white gas on the top of his head, Lu Yuan drank water, his body sweated a lot, which was not seen in domestic competitions, at least in district-level competitions.

Lu Yuan was still a little frustrated, not because he felt that his teammates were weak, but because he found that the American teams were very strong. Moreover, listening to Hart, the two opponents he has played are not the strongest, none of them can enter the NBA, Lu Yuan really doesn't know what kind of level the high school players who can enter the NBA are.

Lu Yuan was thinking in his mind, and when he heard the door of the locker room open, he thought it was the school doctor and didn't care.

"Lu Yuan. ”

Lu Yuan heard the person who entered the door calling him, and the girl's voice was in Chinese.

As soon as Lu Yuan looked up, he saw Zhou Junlu wearing the school uniform of Wilson High School in Long Beach and standing in front of him.
