Chapter 53 Standards

"Coach, I have to play. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info there is a scout today, you must know that it is a scout from Jordan's training camp. I only have this one chance. Nathan finally spoke his mind.

"So you're going to sacrifice your teammates' efforts? Go back and sit down. Whitty snapped.

Nathan glared at Whitty angrily. But he also knows that's status in this team is unassailable. Even if he has never led the team to a championship, 20 years of coaching is something that no one can do. So even his father had to follow Whitety's arrangement at the beginning, and even after his father became a member of the board of directors, he wanted to use his power to fire Whitety, but it was still in vain. As my father said, whether Whitty was right or not, everyone would eventually go to him.

Annoyed but reluctant, Nathan walked back to the bench. Cover your head with a towel and hide it deeply. Completely isolate yourself from the world. The teammates all leaned to the side, not wanting to provoke Nathan at this time.

The game entered a white-hot stage, and the two sides were evenly matched. It's hard to have one side pull away.

Tim breaks through head-on and presses to the free throw line. Draw the attention of the opponent's defense and pass to Lucas on the outside.

Lucas didn't choose to shoot directly, a shot feint. The opponent was already afraid of Lucas's hot hand, and when Nathan was not on the field at this time, Lucas naturally became the focus of the opponent's defense. The other party was directly shaken.

Very clever choice, Lucas leaned forward, although the opponent tried to avoid it, but the referee still whistled for a foul. Three three-point fouls and three free throws. Lucas shot 85 percent from the free-throw line this season, which is the equivalent of giving the Flames points for nothing.

The other party also looked very annoyed, and kept following the referee to theorize. His teammates quickly pulled him away and motioned for him to calm down. Otherwise, at this critical moment, if a technical foul is whistled, it will be very disadvantageous to the team.

mvp! mvp! …… The audience's emotions were completely ignited. The entire stadium was filled with deafening cheers.

When the MVP sounded in the arena, everyone's attention was on Lucas. Nathan slowly raised his head, with a hint of envy and jealousy in his eyes, and a voice in his heart told him that this voice belonged to me.

"You should be happy for him." Whitty didn't know when he came to Nathan's side, and said lightly.

"But......" Nathan didn't want to admit that fact. He's always been a hero at the arena, even when Lucas joins the team this season. Nathan wanted to do what Whitty said. But when the words come to the mouth, they can't be spoken.

"If it's you who is standing at the free throw line right now, it's Lucas sitting here. I'm sure he'll applaud you. Whitty wasn't mad at Nathan's performance at this point.

Nathan looked up at Whitety as if he had been hit hard, and found Whitety smiling at the game.

"Why did you play basketball in the first place?"

"Why? Why? ......" Nathan repeated the words in his mind, the light in his eyes flickered, and his brow furrowed.

Nathan's changes at this time, Whitty has long been able to see it. With a slight smile, he returned to the coach's position. Nathan, from the first time he saw the child, Whitty admired it very much. He was very talented, but he had a father like that, and he was lost on the road. This is also the reason why he has always been so strict with him.

Nathan asked himself for a long time before realizing that no one had asked him this question since the moment he came into contact with basketball, including his father, who was by his side every day and forced him to train.

When I was a child, I fell in love with basketball the moment I saw it, but it was like the beginning of my nightmare? From that day on, the father deprived himself of all his joy and childhood.

Nathan was confused, he couldn't be sure of what was going on inside him.

Oh!!!

Lucas hit all three free throws! The Blazes led by three points. The rest of his teammates high-fived Lucas in celebration.

Everyone had a heartfelt smile on their faces, even if it was their teammates who scored. Nathan thought about himself again when he had been treated like this by Lucas. In the past, everyone used to celebrate themselves like Lucas, but after ignoring them a few times, in the later games, everyone showed a silent face about their scores.

Nathan felt like he was in a fog now, he couldn't see his surroundings at all, and he couldn't find his way out.

Basketball is a team sport. Why play basketball. What Whitty had just said rang out in Nathan's heart again. Nathan muttered to himself, his voice going from faint and confused to faster and faster to firm and powerful.

The presence of my father wiped out my love for basketball in the first place. Basketball is a team sport and I should enjoy it with my teammates.

With a twinkle in his eyes, Nathan felt that the fog was no longer thick, and every time he flicked his hand, he could see farther away.

As Whiti watched the game, he had a full view of Nathan's situation. At this time, the corners of his mouth finally showed a satisfied smile.

Oh! Oh, my God! The opponent makes a three-point shot from outside the three-point line and hits the front board into the basket. Such a ball can only be said to be too lucky.

The two sides were again drawn and stalemate.

The Agni attacked, and the ball went to Lucas. Continuous crotch dribbling, 45 degrees breakthrough on the right side, the opponent followed the defense very well, and did not lose position. Lucas was pushed to the bottom line. There is no good shooting angle, and now the score is very tight, and no one dares to shoot casually without the slightest carelessness. Every ball can be the difference between the game and the game.

Lucas was forced to turn around and walk out. Pretty!

There was an exclamation from the big mouth, and the audience also let out an exclamation, Nathan clenched his fists tightly, although he did not speak, but it could be seen that he also applauded Lucas's ball.

Lucas seemed to be forced to go to the outside, but just when the opponent was a little relieved, he suddenly turned to the left and successfully broke into the inside. jumped up to the basket, just when the opponent's center came to make up for it, Lucas retracted his lower abdomen and freehand stuffed the ball under the armpit of the center to the empty hand of Jack under the basket.

Jack ended the offense with a direct dunk.

“nice!” Jack said excitedly with Lucas high-five.

"How's that offensive option?" Whitty appeared on Nathan's sideline again.

"Coach, I'm sorry." Nathan sincerely apologized.

"Do you want to play?" Whitty asked with a slight smile.

"Nope. Even off the field, I can contribute to everyone. Nathan also laughed.

Pretty! The slam dunk just now boosted Jack's momentum a lot. The opposing small guard burst in, and Jack slammed his head and face.

Tim grabbed the rebound and made a long pass to Balke, who was already on the verge of going down, and Balk made an easy layup.

The Blazes lead by four points. There is one minute left in the game. The other party called a timeout.

"Listen, you're playing really well. Lucas is your leader, and he makes a substitution whenever he encounters a pick-and-roll. No fouls. Did you hear that? "Whitety was quick to lay out last-minute tactics. With a four-point lead, just because there's a minute left doesn't mean they can win the game. Now the pressure is on their side.

"Hey, hey, hey." Nathan suddenly walked over from the bench, "Lucas, push him into that corner." You can do it! ”

Lucas nodded happily.

Whitty patted Nathan: "Nathan, you take Balk." ”

The timeout is over, let's get back to the game again. In the last minute, everyone bring out your energy and cheer on our athletes.

Coach Whitty made another change, and in the last minute, Nathan replaced Balke again. Do you want Nathan to take over the last-minute game? I don't know if Nathan's state will rebound after adjusting for nearly a quarter of the game.

Lucas led the defense all over the field, and the opponent's ball just crossed the halfway line, Lucas always defended the opponent's left-hand position and forced the opponent to go to the right. The opponent was forced into the corner of the halfway line. The opponent stopped the ball. Defensively defensive. You can't let the opponent pass the ball easily.

Oh! Big mouth sighed. When the opponent passes the ball out of Lucas's armpit. Lucas defended beautifully, though. Wasted a lot of time on the opponent's attack.

The sigh was not over, and there was another exclamation. This sudden breath choked and coughed for a long time, and his face was red with suffocation.

Nathan descended from the sky. Suddenly came out from one side and intercepted the pass halfway. Successful steal, Nathan rode the dust, fast attack. A tomahawk snap, beautiful. Draw a perfect end to this game.

The game is over! Although the opponent hit the whistle ball in the last moment, the Agni still won the game with a four-point lead. He continued to run high throughout the season and set the team's longest winning streak. Let's applaud the Agni. Thank you, big mouth, for explaining it to you. I hope everyone can continue to support our team, the Agni, in the next game. Come on!

"Hey, Lucas, I'm Matthew." The fans in the arena have left, as have most of the players, coaches and cheerleaders. Only a few of the staff who clean the stadium are still busy.

"Hey." Lucas held Matthew's hand, but his expression was very confused, and he didn't seem to know each other.

"Oh. Haha, I'm Matthew, a scout for Jordan's training camp. The ball was well hit. Matthew smiled and complimented.

"Thank you." Lucas was excited, scouts praised him, and for the first time in his life, Lucas felt that everything he had put in was rewarded, and for the first time, he was truly recognized.
