Chapter 15: The Art of Demons

It wasn't until there were eight minutes left in the first half that Ricard was reluctant to send Anjie on the pitch again. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info not because the Whirlwind team is in crisis, but Carter Robertson on the other side couldn't bear to finally arouse Jordan Jr.

Although the Farm Kids team played very smoothly on offense, there was nothing they could do about the Whirlwind team, which was also active on the defensive end. In the off-attack game between the two teams, the peasant children team was never able to overtake the score. If the situation continues like this, sooner or later, they will be dragged down by the whirlwind team who can't escape. Therefore, Roberson must take Jordan Jr. to give it a try, and now it will be up to Jordan Jr., who has rested for so long, to calm down and bring good changes to the team.

Rickard was also very calm. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. This was one of Ricard's biggest features of the job, and he didn't rush to bring Anjie on the pitch until he saw DeAndre Jordan take off his training jersey.

The duel between the two center forwards continued from this moment on.

"Anjie, be careful. That guy has suffered so much humiliation, he will definitely take revenge. "Mike Taylor, as the big brother of the team, did not forget to tell Anjie behind him.

"I'll be careful, let's open up the difference in the first half!" Anjie and Taylor clashed fists, and the peasant boys over there had already sent the baseline ball.

When DeAndre Jordan first joined the team, he was just a blue-collar interior player, he could grab rebounds, he could defend well, and his strong body allowed him to do all the dirty work.

This guy's contact with basketball is already short, and the time to receive regular basketball training is not much more than Anjie's. Coupled with his physical and athletic ability, he can mix like a fish in water even if he has no skills, so he ignores technical training even more.

However, in this game, although An Jie, who was opposite Jordan Jr., was very thin, he was an opponent that he could not defeat with his body alone.

Little Jordan is also very lacking in experience, and Anjie has learned a lot from Divac's old fox. In this way, the shortcomings of Jordan Jr.'s poor basketball skills will be exposed in the following games.

………………..

After Jordan Jr. came on the court, the smooth offense of the Farmer Kids team was completely gone. Jordan Jr. won't block and won't make room for his teammates to attack. All he could do was get in position and reach for the ball.

However, Robertson also said that he should give De Andrew enough support. So Jones, the point guard of the Farmer's Kids, didn't have much to do, so he could only hoist the ball directly to Jordan Jr. again.

Mike Taylor wanted to do something, but it wasn't easy to interfere with a lob pass against an opponent who was half a head taller than him.

So now the rhythm of the game is back to the way it was at the beginning, and everything depends on the collision between the two big men on the inside.

After Little Jordan got the ball, he was full of enthusiasm and took the initiative to stick to An Jie.

"Bang!" the huge muffled sound of the body colliding made Morris on the other side of the three-second zone seem to feel the horror of Little Jordan's perverted power.

An Jie also felt that his chest was stuffy, just now, little Jordan secretly stretched his elbow, but the referee didn't find it, and An Jie could only swallow the bitter fruit alone.

After taking a big step forward, Little Jordan directly held the ball with both hands, and then forcibly turned around with An Jie as the axis. An Jie also tried his best to stop him, even if it was a foul. However, Jordan Jr. had enough strength on the bench, and he directly squeezed An Jie two steps away. Morris, who was on the side, quickly abandoned his opponent and rushed to Jordan Jr. to prepare for the defense.

Jordan Jr. jumped on the spot with his feet after crashing into Anjie, and at the same time, Morris, who had come over to make up the defense, also jumped up behind Jordan Jr., ready to fan the ball from behind.

"Bang!" DeAndre Jordan once again wreaked havoc on the basket, Morris and DeAndre Jordan had physical contact in the air, but Jordan Jr. was not affected in the slightest and still completed the dunk. On the other hand, Morris was squeezed in the air and lost his center of gravity and fell down in embarrassment.

"How's it going, isn't it hurt!" Anjie immediately ran to Morris with concern and pulled him up.

"It's okay, it's okay, damn it, how did you fight that guy for so long. Morris waved his hand to signal that everything was normal, and he was amazed that Anjie was not inferior to such a monster in the slightest.

"Hehe, the old partner has bothered you again, there will be no next time, and you can only use some unconventional means to prevent this guy. ”

After that, Anjie still only played a role of containment, and the real endpoint was not with him. Little Jordan wished that the Asian kid would hurry up and play with him, and then he could save face with a beautiful defense. But it backfired, and Mike Taylor got his chance again through pick-and-rolls and running, and his best mid-range shot was still not out of order. The Whirlwinds scored back-to-back points, and Jordan Jr.'s wishes were disappointed.

Jordan Jr. was very proud of the defense of the opponent's two interior lines in the last offense. This time he decided to do it again, and poor little Jordan forgot how An Jie was playing himself before.

This time, little Jordan even saved his back, he wanted to be very deep, and after receiving the ball, he leaned directly on An Jie and began to turn around.

When the interior player turns, some people with irregular technical movements can easily control their elbows, and Jordan Jr. is one of the most irregular types of people with irregular technical movements. He unconsciously raised his elbow and hung it on An Jie's face.

DeAndre Jordan's elbow landed on Anjie's face, and that's it!?Who is Anjie's center coach?

Although he just gently wiped it from his face, an elbow blow is an elbow blow, and he An Jie will not suffer this dumb loss. What's more, didn't the referee just miss a little Jordan's dark elbow to himself, which is called a tooth for a tooth. As soon as DeAndre Jordan's elbow touched An Jie's face, An Jie immediately covered his head exaggeratedly and squatted on the ground in pain.

"Toot toot!" The referee clearly saw that Jordan Jr.'s elbow hit An Jie's face, and he didn't hesitate to give Jordan Jr. an offensive foul.

"What!" little Jordan was furious and rushed up to question the referee.

"It's definitely a foul this time. Morris also gathered around the referee.

"You're not adding fuel to the fire!" said little Jordan, who was angry, nudged Morris hard.

"What are you doing!" Morris is not Anjie, little Jordan has a bad temper, why not Morris? He stepped in front of little Jordan in a few big steps, and the two were entangled together.

Immediately, all the players of the two teams surrounded each other, and some were insulting each other and pushing each other. A few calmed down and pulled Morris and Jordan Jr. apart and hugged them tightly.

After An Jie saw that the situation exceeded his expectations, he also stood up immediately, blocked between Morris and Jordan Jr., and then desperately pushed Morris out. Good fellow, this looks like a guy who has just been hit in the head.

It was only after the referee intervened that the conflict finally subsided. The result did not change, the referee still awarded Jordan Jr. an offensive foul, and the ball went directly back to the hands of the Whirlwinds.

An Jie's goal is actually not excessive, and he can't really wait for little Jordan to stun himself to the ground before he appeals to the referee. Just like Divac taught, the fake fall is only used when the referee misses the judgment and loses it. The premise is that it is a foul ball, but the referee may not notice it and make a mistake and suffer a loss. If you use fake falls to turn a ball that is not supposed to be a foul into a foul, it is cheating, and it is a matter of character.

An Jie also has a good grasp of the balance between the two, he will not suffer losses, nor will he deceive.

Little Jordan lost the last trace of calm after that incident, and his whole body became violent. His movements became more and more uncontrollable, and the referee himself saw that several fouls after that did not need to be exaggerated by An Jie.

His shortcomings in poor technique were also fully revealed, and the restless little Jordan even made low-level mistakes such as dribbling and smashing his feet, getting the ball and being broken. After the end of the first half, Jordan Jr.'s appearance not only did not make the team make good changes, but he also dug a big hole for the team.

At 51-40, the Cyclones ended the first half with an 11-point lead.

At the start of the second half, Texas A&M fans found that Jordan Jr., who had been eye-catching in the first three games, had now been pinned to the bench by Carter Robertson. He couldn't stand what Jordan Jr. was doing on the court anymore, and the farm kids team without Jordan Jr. played better as always.

But even so, the morale of the Whirlwind team has been greatly boosted, and their offense is frequently successful in the face of the weak defense of the peasant children.

When Robertson played all his cards, the game still didn't improve. After 17 minutes of wrestling with the Whirlwinds, Roberson replaced all of his main players. At this time, there were already a large number of vacant seats in the gymnasium of the peasant children's team, and many fans had already left the stadium early. No matter how much reluctance DeAndre Jordan showed in his eyes, Roberson never gave him a chance in the second half, and he could only watch his team lose the game.

"I'm not wrong about taking Ricard, look at what Anjie has made Jordan Jr. look like. Don't look at him on the surface to be very friendly, he is a ball ruffian on the basketball court. Divac smiled and looked at the protégé running on the field.

With a minute to go before the end of the match, Ricard finally took Anjie down. Facing the thumbs up from his teammates, An Jie just scratched his head embarrassedly, which was completely inconsistent with the image in basketball.

After this game, Jordan Jr.'s rough technical nature was revealed, and he gradually lost his position as the main force in the team. And An Jie slowly revealed a completely different side from his off-field personality.

In the end, the Iowa State University Whirlwinds defeated the Texas A&M University Farm Kids 81-68. And Anjie also completely crushed DeAndre Jordan in terms of individual performance. An Jie's 26 points and 9 rebounds are much more dazzling than Jordan Jr.'s 10 points and 7 rebounds. Thanks to Jordan Jr.'s many unnecessary fouls on An Jie, An Jie got a lot of opportunities to score free throws, which also allowed An Jie to score a new high in his college basketball career.

The Whirlwind team has won four consecutive games since the start of the game, and the team's form is getting better and better. In the NCAA March Madness Playoffs, the Whirlwinds have taken another big step towards that goal.
