Chapter 18: His Game
The bearded man looked at his daughter's busy back in the store, and his heart was ten thousand puzzled. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this little girl didn't go out with her classmates on the weekend, but honestly stayed in the store to help. Could it be that her daughter has really grown up and become sensible, and she is about to start enjoying Qingfu?
This is really too much for the bearded man to think about himself, and the reason why Catherine is still in the store is just to wait for the tall Asian to appear.
"That guy who doesn't know how to lift up actually devalues his hard work to worthless. If he dares to appear here again, I will definitely scold him to the blood. Catherine thought silently.
Hearing the door of the dining room being pushed open, Catherine rushed to the door. But when she saw that the person who came was not An Jie, she walked back disappointed, and she had no intention of entertaining guests at all. Fortunately, the bearded and clever man immediately went over and said a few kind words, so that he was able to retain the customer.
"It's been a week, why haven't you come yet!" Catherine sat down to the side, curling her hair.
"Ahh
"You're so disgusting! Squirt my neck with saliva!" Morris, who was practicing back-to-back singles with An Jie, pushed his partner in disgust, and suddenly turned around in the direction of the baseline while An Jie was not paying attention, easily broke through An Jie, who was relaxing his vigilance, and dunked under the basket.
"Haha, you've been lied to kid. Morris grinned and ran over and patted Anjie on the back.
The atmosphere of the team after returning from Christmas is still good, everyone has not become lazy because of the relaxation of the Christmas holidays, and they have not given up on themselves because of the defeat in the last game. Everyone wants to win the next game and save face for their defeat in the last game. But Rickard looked at the name on the schedule and started to have a headache again.
The University of Texas, an important part of the U.S. higher education system, ranks first in the United States in research funding of $1.1 billion a year. The University of Texas has 7 Nobel laureates and 33 members of the National Academy of Sciences, making it one of the most famous universities in the United States. However, such a prestigious school, even if it is not deeply cultivated in basketball, can always attract several high school basketball stars to join. Kevin Durant, the star of last year's NBA draft, and D.J. Augustin, who is now a junior, are just such players. Although Durant has left the university to go to a bigger stage, the University of Texas, led by D.J. Augustine, is still not to be underestimated.
In high school, Augustin was known for his superb passing skills and excellent shooting accuracy, and in his first game of high school, Augustin scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists. Augustin has also made it to the high school league, and he has received numerous accolades, including a two-time state basketball championship, the Houston Chronicle's Player of the Year, a selection to the First Team of the Greater Houston Region, and a First Team of the State Team. He was also invited to the McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game and was offered the starting point guard spot in the West in a prodigy event.
After entering the University of Texas in 2006, Augustine still maintained his upward momentum, and frequently played well. Last season, Augustin's 14.4 points and 6.7 assists per game earned him a spot on the Big Twelve League's All-Rookie Team.
This year, Augustin finally made up his mind to run in the NBA draft like his former teammate Durant. He was ranked eighth overall by the pundits in the last draft, which is already a high position for a junior. This is also a manifestation of the strength of D.J. Augustine.
The strong teams I met in the previous games all had a characteristic, that is, the stars of that team were almost all playing alone and could not have a tacit understanding with other teammates. Therefore, the Whirlwind team only needs to strangle them to win the game. And this D.J. Augustine is not a rebellious teenager, he is well-behaved, not only is he super capable of scoring, but he can also connect the whole team through passing. Rickard had a splitting headache as he looked at the tactics board that he had drawn in a mess. If they lose their next game, then the Whirlwinds will have lost two in a row, which is not a good sign. Therefore, in this game, Riccard will not allow any mistakes between himself and his players.
………………..
During a break in training, Rickard called Taylor and Anjie to his office. The two looked at each other and didn't know why, and the two of them hadn't made a mistake recently. It turned out that Rickard had asked the two of them to watch the video of D.J. Augustine's game. However, Taylor is okay, but An Jie is a little puzzled in his heart.
"I mean, this guy is a point guard. You asked me to watch his footage, you didn't want me to run with him all over the field during the race. "Ricard is a bold manager and Anjie is really afraid that Ricard will arrange that.
Taylor's job is to mark, but with a weight disadvantage, Augustine will definitely increase the number of breakaways. If the opponent breaks through to the inside, then you have to take over. Don't look at him short, he's still a threat inside, and he may choose to score directly or assist his teammates with passes you can't think of. You want to make him as free as possible on the inside, and it's best not to give him space to pass the ball. To achieve this, your choice and position are particularly important. Rickard finished a lot of words and began to play the video.
Anjie and Taylor sat in their offices during training breaks and watched D.J. Augustine's game footage over and over again. If you want to know what to do next against your enemy, you have to study them first and know their habits.

Catherine's father left the restaurant again this afternoon, where is there such a boss who cares no attention to his own business. That's why Catherine often opens her doors without permission. What she didn't know, however, was that her craft was a world of difference from that of a beard.
After a while, the bell on the door of the restaurant rang again, and Catherine was much calmer now, and the tall boy probably wouldn't come. Sure enough, the person who pushed the door in was his father.
"What did you buy?" Catherine looked at her father's armpit with a large number of things, and leaned over curiously.
"Hehe, I just squeezed for a long time to buy it. We're going to watch the game tomorrow!" Bearded put all the gains he had just made on the table. Two tickets to tomorrow night at 8 p.m. for the Iowa State University Cyclones vs. the University of Texas Longhorns, two Cyclones red home jerseys with the name "AN" on the back of the jersey and the number 2, plus two scarves with cheering slogans written on them, of course, not to keep warm, but to be held and waved in the hand.
"Watch the game? Catherine was very disdainful, but she still picked up Anjie's jersey and compared it to her own body with her hand.
"Hehe, if you don't want to go, I'll ask Old Jack next door to accompany me. ”
"Who said I wasn't going!" Catherine blushed, picked up her jersey and ran back to her room.
In fact, An Jie doesn't want to go to that restaurant that makes people love and anger again, where there are delicious Chinese dishes made by the bearded man, and he can talk a lot about basketball with the bearded man. On top of that, there's a girl who can't get along with him everywhere, but he always thinks of it from time to time. It's just that he is still strict with his training and diet, so he has never had time to make a trip.
However, now, for the sake of Anjie's body, Divac began to limit Anjie's time to practice. Everything must know how to stop in moderation, once it exceeds that limit, even additional training will bring bad results. The training on the day before the game was even more forbidden by Divac, so today, Anjie, who has no training tasks, plans to go to the store again.
"Knock knock. An Jie saw that the sign hanging on the door of the store had been turned over to the side that said "close", but when he saw that the bearded man was still watching TV in the store, An Jie knocked on the door decisively.
"The store is closed. The bearded man stared intently at the NBA live broadcast on TV, not knowing that An Jie was at the door.
"It's me. ”
Hearing this familiar voice, the bearded man immediately came and opened the door. "Why haven't you been here for so long!?"
"I'm busy training. An Jie sat down behind the bar and looked up at the TV. The Los Angeles Lakers vs. Memphis Grizzlies game was being streamed live at the moment, and Bryant had just completed a beautiful forced dunk.
"Why, tomorrow before the great enemy, do you have to be nervous and relax tonight?"
"No, that, Catherine. An Jie didn't know why she was interested in this girl.
"Upstairs with your jersey. The bearded man pointed to the ceiling.
"My jersey?"
"yes, tomorrow we both decided to watch your game, and we bought your jersey to wear, so behave well, boy. The bearded man laughed wickedly.
An Jie was a little shy, so he didn't say anything, just chatted with the bearded man without saying a word while watching the game. After not sitting for long, An Jie got up and left, ready to go back.
As soon as Angel stepped out of the door, Catherine ran down the stairs.
"Who were you talking to!?" Catherine shook her father's shoulders hard.
"Anjie, who let you not be down there. No, he just went out. ”
"Hmph, count him lucky, or see how I teach him a lesson!" Catherine looked at Anjie's back in disappointment, and clenched her fists hard.
…………………
Red waves of people surged through the gymnasium, and the noisy shouts made everyone feel their adrenaline pumping. Catherine was caught in the crowd, staring intently at the big, yellow-skinned man in the red jersey on the field.
"Next, let's welcome, An ~~~~~ Jie!" the live announcer was now able to read the two Chinese very fluently.
"Teach them a good lesson!"
"Come on, Chinese!"
"Anjie! I love you!"
All kinds of shouts were intertwined, and Catherine, who had never paid attention to basketball, was also infected by this frenzied atmosphere. You nasty thing, come on!
Wonderful collision, just a touch!
