Chapter Thirty-Six: Who Consumes Whom?
The Stanford Crimson were unaffected by the ball, and their style of play remained the same, allowing Brooke to solve problems on the inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But when Brook Lopez got tangled with Anjie again, he found that he couldn't play as well as he had just done. An Jie grabbed Brooke's jersey roughly, and let Brooke exert his strength, but An Jie would never take half a step back.
"Hmph, that's what it sounds like. Brook Lopez didn't force his way and passed the ball to his brother.
Robin Lopez, with his brother's super scoring ability, does dirty work such as defense and rebounding. It's always easy to overlook Robin in Brooke's light, especially with his top-notch roll-over jumper.
After Robin received the ball, Asakin immediately stuck to him, he knew that Robin Lopez's biggest flaw was that he was a little lacking in strength, as long as he resisted to the death, then this guy would not get a chance.
But Robin didn't plan to chisel to the basket at all, he held the ball and shook his shoulder to the right, and the opponent other than Asakin broke through and immediately moved a small step. Robin noticed that the "wall" behind him was a little offset, and immediately turned to the left to face the basket, and after the jump, Robin Lopez leaned back slightly, and Asarkin had no way to interfere with the opponent's shot.
"Brush. Robin Lopez's step-back jumper from inside the box went into the net, and after the goal, Robin hooked his fingers at Anjie and Asakin. My brother is indeed very strong, but that doesn't mean you can underestimate the power of my younger brother.
Rickard didn't care about Robin's goal, Asakin wouldn't have been pressed by Robin all the time, and the same trick wouldn't have been used a few times. The victory or defeat of the inside line still lies with Anjie and Brooke, and the others don't have to worry about him at all.
Asakin's task is to assist Anjie as much as possible, so that the opponent's twin towers will not play too easily on the inside. He only needs to do this, and the task of defeating these two brothers is still left to An Jie.
After that, the Whirlwinds' offense was not handed over to the interior again, it was all Ricard's arrangement. The first offense must be given to the inside, and then it will be carried out as usual. Anjie is not a stumbling center, on the contrary, he is more capable of creating scoring opportunities on the move.
High blocking, the easiest and most efficient offensive means for the Whirlwinds.
"I'll go out, brother, you defend the penalty area. "Robin took the initiative to apply to go out to defend Anjie, who has been promoted to a high position, and wants to lure Brooke out?
After blocking and dismantling, An Jie did not go down as actively as usual, nor did he retreat to prepare to shoot. He just stayed where he was, and this attack had nothing to do with him. Anjie wants to use Stanford's emphasis on himself to create opportunities for his teammates.
While everyone was watching what Anjie would do, Mike Taylor had already broken through to just three meters from the basket.
"What!?" Brooke couldn't pay attention to Asakin who was still behind him, and he lunged at Mike Taylor with open arms.
Mike Taylor knew that his normal shot would only be blocked by the big man in front of him, so he had to use a throw that he didn't usually use. Just because he doesn't use it often doesn't mean that Mike Taylor isn't good at it, he softly threw the ball to the basket, and Brook Lopez jumped with all his might, but the basketball still flew past his fingertips.
Asakin got stuck in a favorable rebounding position, but the basketball went in after two jumps on the basket.
"Mike Taylor responded forcefully! He refused to give up this game to these big men, and he reminded everyone that he was one of the leading players on the Whirlwind team!"
"Well done. Anjie touched Mike Taylor's head like a child, and Mike Taylor smiled happily under Anjie's armpit. There is nothing in this team that does not steal the credit, and there is no team boss. Everyone is willing to sacrifice their scenery for the team, and everyone is moving forward for the sake of victory.
"Under the media hype, we seem to have forgotten what has supported the Whirlwind team to get to where it is now, it is the whole! Anjie will not blindly fight with the Lopez brothers, as long as the team needs it, he is even willing to become a completely blue-collar player. ”
However, Ricard will not have such a luxury to let Anjie just be a blue-collar player, and Anjie will be his last hole card in this game, but it is not yet time to show it.
The rest of the game was much duller than the beginning, and people didn't see the expected center fight. Mike Taylor is obviously the first point of attack of the Whirlwind team in this game, and Anjie has not attacked on his own for a long time except for blocking and dismantling on the offensive end.
But even if Anjie didn't attack again, Brook Lopez wasn't idle. Taylor deliberately cut back on the number of mid-range shots he took today, but instead he slammed into the box significantly more often than before. Throw after throw, break through and break the ball, no matter what way he used, Brook Lopez had to react.
"Want to use the guards to consume Brooke first?" said Larry Myers, coach of the Stanford Crimson, as he stroked the stubble on his chin.
During a dead-ball match, fans saw Coach Myers preparing to bring on a substitute, but this man was ....... It's the center!?
"Coach Myers replaced Brook Lopez!, Brooke asked the referee if he had made a mistake in his number, and even he didn't believe he would have been substituted so early. Paul Philips was amazed to see what was happening right under his nose, and Brook Lopez wasn't hurt?
"Coach, this ......"
Before Brook Lopez could finish, the gray-haired Miles motioned for Lopez to sit next to him.
"The opponent wants to use the impact of the defender to consume your physical strength, I will only temporarily replace you to protect, rest assured, your brother will withstand the pressure of the penalty area. When that Chinese on the Whirlwind team starts to get tired, I will send you on the field again, won't you be able to do whatever you want in the restricted area?"
"But......" Brook Lopez was not afraid to confront the Asian now.
"Say no more, you're my star and I'm going to make the most of it. "Fans want to see a duel between two strong centre-forwards, that's a fan affair, and what Myers has to do is lead the team to victory, and in order to achieve that, he doesn't think about whether the fans are too good to watch.
Hearing this, Brook Lopez couldn't say anything more. Coach Larry Myers has never treated himself badly and has absolute trust in himself, and it's time for him to trust his coach again.
Seeing Brook Lopez on the field, Anjie was also very surprised. But no matter what the other party's purpose is, he must seize the opportunity now. Robin Lopez Anjie has a way to deal with him.
An Jie's performance immediately changed from just came a 180-degree turn, and he began to be active on the offensive end. Defending against Robin Lopez, Anjie was clearly much more relaxed, and although Robin was the same height as his twin brother, his strength and footwork were too much worse than Brooke's.
Watching Anjie score again and again on the court, Brooke clenched his fists off the court. He turned his gaze to his coach more than once, but Larry Myers still calmly observed the situation on the field and had no intention of making a substitution.
An angry Robin Lopez yelled the name of point guard Kelly Foster and motioned for him to pass the ball to him. However, after receiving the ball this time, he did not face Asarkin again, and the defender of him became Anjie.
"You'll get the same result!" Robin muttered to himself as he pushed it in a few times, but it didn't work well.
Robin Lopez decided to do it again.
"Stinky boy!" Brooke screamed in his heart when he saw Robin preparing to shoot like this.
Anjie didn't eat Robin Lopez's feints at all, he himself likes to shoot after shaking his shoulders like this, and Anjie knows the routine very well.
Robin still had a slight lean back after jumping, but he clearly noticed that the Chinese had a much larger defensive range than Asakin.
Robin Lopez still managed to shoot the ball, but the ball flew just a short distance before it was blocked by Anjie's outstretched palm. Robin, who is the king of the Pacific Ten League's blocks, was taken by An Jie first.
Robin immediately picked up his covered ball, but in the face of An Jie's pressing, he could only choose to pass the ball out.
"Coach!" Brooke was really anxious.
"Don't worry, your brother is a smart fellow, he won't make mistakes like this all the time. "The time hasn't come yet, and Miles himself has to stabilize it first.
Ricard also saw the motivation for Stanford's substitution, he wanted to use Mike Taylor to consume Brook Lopez and then use Anjie to complete the final blow, but now it is the opponent who is consuming himself.
However, in the face of such a giant, he could not let go of any opportunity to score, so he did not replace An Jie but continued to keep him on the field. That gray-haired old Larry is such a scheming guy.
Without Brooke's support, giants Stanford University are now four points behind the Whirlwinds, and Robin Lopez has been decent on the court, but he still can't stop Anjie from scoring. But it's not easy to confront that Robin guy. It was finally time to use the rotation lineup, and looking at An Jie's sweaty head and heaving chest, Larry knew that An Jie had been almost consumed by Robin.
"Brooke, give me all the strength you've mustered!" Larry Miles waved his hand, finally freeing the hungry beast.
"Anjie, are you okay?" Ricard knew that if Anjie was gone, the Whirlwind would be equivalent to giving up the penalty area to the other party.
"I can still play, let me play with the second team. "It's impossible for Anjie to back down, and March Madness is no easy game to play.
Coach Rickard replaced four starters, but Anjie remained on the court, and Coach Larry Myers of Stanford University finally brought Brook Lopez up. The fans are back excited and we might be feasting our eyes on the next game!"
"Don't blame me for not winning the Chinese. "Brook Lopez moved his muscles a bit, he was suffocating enough off the court.
An Jie took a few deep breaths and calmed his breathing rate a little. He hasn't forgotten the moment he played against Brook Lopez in the first few minutes, and now this guy has a higher desire to attack than he had just started, and he has to give it his all.
Sure enough, after blocking his teammates, Brook Lopez rushed straight to the basket, and his first task was to score!
An Jie followed closely behind, not daring to give Brooke any more space. Seeing the opponent's point guard pass the ball into the penalty area, An Jie's nerves tensed all over his body.
The ball was a little off, and An Jie reached out and prepared to destroy the pass directly. He had just stretched out his arm when he noticed that Brooke had reached out and entangled himself with him. Anjie's physical strength has declined significantly, but Brooke is full of physical strength at this time. He used his strength advantage to press An Jie's arm and took the ball hard. Angel was pulled by Brooke and stumbled to his feet and lost his defensive position.
Hit the ground, keep your hands long, jump with your feet, and hang the frame vigorously. Brook Lopez tore the basket with all his strength. A lightning-fast attack, a shocking dunk, a silent declaration of war.
An Jie moved his arm that was torn so painfully, and he tightened his teeth. This opponent is really under pressure.
