Chapter 158: Liu Chuan vs Battier
After Battier blocked Milosevic's shot, the Duke team took advantage of the ball and launched a counterattack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, but Liu Chuan was the first to return to the defense in place to delay the ball.
The level of the NCAA is quite high, not to mention other strong teams, just Duke University, they played a friendly match against the Chinese U23 national team that year, and Duke won 3-0, winning every game by double figures.
The current ball-carrier is named Meeks. Williams, a junior this year. He is also a star in the NCAA, who has been predicted by several media outlets to be selected around the 50th pick. At this time, he was up to the rescue, holding the ball in his left hand and killing straight towards the baseline. Liu Chuan pressed forward step by step, without giving him the slightest angle to cut into the basket. Williams suddenly went to the baseline and found that there was no chance, and then he turned back and easily fell into the bag, so he could only force a step-back jumper. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to shoot in this kind of rapid stop and back, and the hit rate is very low.
But Liu Chuan was still not satisfied, he jumped up and took advantage of his height to seal it with one palm. It was similar to Battier's block just now, although Williams had leaned back to try to avoid the defense, but because Liu Chuan's arm was long, this shot still sent the ball to the opponent.
As soon as the ball left his hand, he was hit hard by Liu Chuan and pulled back directly. Williams flinched and the ball hit his hand and bounced out of bounds.
"Wow, good defense!" Battier is naturally a person who knows the goods, and stretched out a thumbs up to Liu Chuan.
"How do you compare?" Liu Chuan replied in proficient English. He practiced English hard for many years before going to the United States, and his oral level was much better than when Zebei first arrived in the United States.
The corners of Battier's mouth widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Can I understand that you are challenging me?" ”
“Yeah!” Liu Chuan smiled.
Battier immediately shouted to his teammates: "Let's switch guards!" ”
"Hey, how can you grab my opponent!" Zebei immediately jumped out and objected.
Liu Chuan's cold cheeks actually showed a smug expression, and he didn't bother to answer Zebei at all. In the eyes of the two of them, Battier's formidable rival is like a beloved toy that two children are fighting over each other, which inspires the two to be possessive.
Liu Chuan lowered his center of gravity and held the ball in his right hand, turned around and switched to his left hand, and then to his right hand under his crotch. He tried to break through from all angles, but Battier was still firmly in front of him. The two-meter-tall man also pressed his center of gravity very low, but his steps were not disordered at all.
"You're amazing!" Liu Chuan's eyes lit up. Of course, there is a difference between seeing the strength of the opponent and feeling the strength of the opponent in person.
"It seems that your proficiency is not at home, and you are weaker than Mao." Battier said regretfully: "If you want to challenge me, it's early." ”
"Are you sure?" Liu Chuan held the ball with his back, and his waist and shoulders turned sharply to the left. Battier reacted quickly and immediately followed.
But what about the ball? Liu Chuan, who turned around, was empty-handed!
The audience on the sidelines saw clearly that Liu Chuan shook his right hand at his waist while turning, and he had already hit the ball to the ground and passed it to the penalty area. Zebei cut in from the left wing at the right time, received a pass and turned around and threw a shot.
"It's not that hard to fool you." Liu Chuan's expression was calm, but his mouth kept provocative.
"Okay, you arrogant first grade!" Battier's eyes widened, he had never encountered such a blatant provocation.
Zebei followed suit, scrambling completely in front of Battier to try to cut off the pass to him. Battier couldn't catch the ball easily, and Williams was pressed by Liu Chuan to keep up with the ball. Liu Chuan lowered his body and continued to use his long arms to interfere with Williams, who was nervous and almost lost the ball, but finally picked it up and stabilized, and saw that he had reached the three-point line, and Liu Chuan completely used his advantage to cover him.
When his teammates saw that the ball was about to be lost, they hurriedly stepped forward to respond. Williams made a mistake in the middle of the ball and lost it, Liu Chuan quickly went down to the front court to receive the pass and took off, and raised the ball with his right arm to smash it vigorously!
"Slap", a big hat slapped Liu Chuan's shot on the rebound. Liu Chuan landed, and the ball bounced back far out of the sideline.
It's Battier! He didn't know when he had chased behind Liu Chuan, and made a timely move to seal the inevitable slam dunk this time.
"You're still tender!" He looked up and said triumphantly.
Liu Chuan turned around silently and did not speak.
It has been a long time since the fast attack was prevented, and the last time the person who defended Liu Chuan's fast attack was Zebei 3 years ago. Being caught up without him noticing it led to the failure of the fast attack, which deeply hurt Liu Chuan's self-esteem. The joy of having just tricked Battier into sending a wonderful pass had disappeared from his mind.
Zebei hit a pull-up jump shot, but Duke still struggled to defend against the pair of Chinese double shots. After all, there is only one Battier, and no matter how strong he predicts and assists in defense, he can't prevent two people.
Battier faked to shake off Zebei and made a three-point shot from a long distance, this time popping out of the frame.
"Even if it's a miracle, there will always be times when you can't shoot!" Coach Burke said.
Zebei broke through with a beautiful dribble, but Battier quietly helped to defend it, leaned down sharply, and cut the ball off in a very low position. Zebei lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Battier dribbled to the front court and entered his ultra-long range, but Liu Chuan was already in front of him.
"You'll never be allowed to shoot easily!"
"I'm back, leave it to me!" Zebei also got up and ran back to his position.
Battier saw no chance in the face of the defense of the two aces, so he had to pass the ball. Duke is again locked in a difficult positional battle.
After a few rounds, the two sides fought hard. The turning point of the game came in the twelfth minute, when Battier struggled to receive the ball under the interference of Zebei, and finally shook off his opponent and ran out of space. Williams immediately sent the pass in.
Liu Chuan ran out of the penalty area and stopped in the middle of it, and broke the ball successfully! If Zebei is an explicit sharp knife, then Liu Chuan is a hidden sharp knife. He had just been ambushed on the inside and seemed to be fighting with the Duke players in hand-to-hand positions, but in fact he had been aiming at Battier's position.
Liu Chuan single-handedly attacked to the front court to receive a pass and took off, and raised the ball with his right arm to smash the ball vigorously! The audience at the scene was already excited, and their long-awaited Liu Chuanfei was about to be staged.
Suddenly, Liu Chuan realized something. He retracted his ready-to-go right hand in the air, turned the ball to his left hand and hit a layup. And on his right, Battier roared through the air.
"I almost got capped by you!" Liu Chuan was a little scared and sighed: "It's really not careless at all." ”
"You're so good, first grade!" Although Battier was a little unhappy with this arrogant Chinese boy, he still gave affirmation.
Duke University requested a timeout.
"Isn't it going to be called a timeout after being hit by a counterattack?" Battier wondered.
Coach Duke shook his head blankly and said, "Joe, it's that Liu, he felt your position in the ball just now!" ”
"Feel? You mean? Battier's expression gradually changed from doubt to surprise, and he vaguely thought of a terrible answer.
"A green glow, that's a combination of skillful and mastery of the realm!" Coach Duke yelled, "Liu, he's a rare dual-field player!" ”
