Friendly reminder, friends who are ready to travel or have already traveled, must pay attention to the safety of people and property. What the? Q: Where are you going to play? Poor me, I have to be sadly asked to work overtime on May 1st, the holiday of working people all over the world 555555555! Tears run...... ）

Steve. Coach Smith looked at the glaring scoreboard on the sidelines and looked 104:17 further away. The strength of the opponent here can no longer meet the needs of the Oak Mountain High School Warriors, who are gradually grinding into shape. It's time to challenge the nation's most famous high school teams.

"Thai. Lawson breaks through to Kevin on the perimeter. Durant, three-point shot, hit! Oh, my God! It's the first three-pointer, let me do the ma......th," the Cal TV announcer said in an exaggerated tone.

"Eric. Devendorf made a pick-and-roll for his teammate, and Gamont. Is Gooden going to attack himself with the ball? A beautiful pass, an empty cut to Durant near the free throw line, a pull-up jump shot after receiving the ball, and two more points. The difference between the two teams has reached 20 points......"

The tall and thin guy on the court, after passing the team's run-in period, played better and better, and his natural killer nature was vividly reflected.

Kevin. After escaping the shadow of that friend, Durant ushered in a real leap in his basketball career. In Oak Hill High School, a star-studded team in high school, he can still average 20 points and 8 rebounds per game.

You must know that several other teammates are ranked in the top 25 high school students in the United States, such as Eric, a senior in high school. Devendorf has been selected for this year's All-American McDonald's High School All-Star Game.

Durant, who was ranked in the top 100 when he was on his hometown team, has become the second best player in the field since coming to Oak Hill High School to shine. Sampson ranked second in the nation as a high-power-center after Sampson.

Although he is far away from his hometown and family, he often feels very uncomfortable. But Kevin still has to thank the man who gave him advice and brought him to Oak Mountain.

Charlie. Bell was sitting on the sidelines at this time, watching this new star in basketball who had been discovered by himself. Well done, kid. You were born to be this piece of material, and you are destined to belong on this exciting course.

Willison High School, a famous basketball school in California, was defeated by an attack group led by that tall and thin guy. With 10 minutes left in the game, the suspense was lost.

Coach Smith sat back on the bench with a bored look on his face and asked the assistant coach next to him, "Who's next?" ”

"There are only two teams left, and the next game should be Lawrence North High School in Indiana. Finally, go to Chicago to challenge the Timothy Trojans, who are currently ranked No. 1 in the United States. The assistant coach said as he flipped through the team plan.

"Well, it's just that these two teams are still a little interesting."

On Feb. 20, the Oak Hill High School Warriors traveled to Indiana to face their penultimate opponent on the national tour, with the nation's No. 1 high school center, Greg Murphy. Lawrence North High School in Oden.

The game was held in the 10,000-seat stadium at Indiana State University, which was temporarily rented, and some pay-TV stations drove their OB vans equipped with satellite receivers outside the stadium.

This high-profile high school basketball game attracted a large number of local fans to watch the game. The players of both teams were still warming up, and the enthusiastic crowd was already filling the huge stadium.

As soon as the game began, the atmosphere on the pitch was warmed up by the wonderful performances of two teams of equal strength. Lawrence North High School used his absolute strength on the inside to constantly wreak havoc on the opposing team's basket.

The monster under the basket who is more than 2.10 meters tall can skillfully use his left and right hands to make layups when attacking. Strong body, able to easily get deep low positions. On the defensive end, the restricted area of Lawrence North High School, because of the presence of this giant, has truly become a no-fly zone. Once, Durant, who got rid of the defense, stopped shooting in one step inside the free throw line, thinking that the ball would score steadily, but he didn't expect to be directly fanned out of the court by Oden, who was two meters away.

Oak Hill High School, whose interior offense was blocked, continued to take advantage of the outside and bite the scores of the two teams.

At the end of the first half, the two teams were evenly matched at 42:40, and Lawrence North High School, which had the advantage of home advantage, led by two points.

"Hey! Lads. Coach Smith clapped his hands in the locker room and woke up the frustrated players. yes, this is the first time they've been down at half-time this season.

"The big guy on the other side, can you deal with it?" Looking at the silent players, Coach Smith was not angry at all, because he knew that the kid named Oden would have a place for him even if he went to play in the NBA now, let alone in high school games.

"That's right, you're all honest kids. However, I think you are underestimating your own abilities. After glancing around the room with a sharp look, he continued, "What would an Ancient Divine Bow do without the arrow feathers in the quiver? ”

Speaking of which, some of the players have already reacted a little.

"That's right, if we want to make this weapon lose his role in the second half, we have to cut him off from the ball. Who made the ball connect with him? Smith looked at the players with satisfaction, who had already understood their tactical intentions, "Yes, it's the guy named Mike. Conley's point guard. In the second half, I completely pinched him. After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man, whose beard had already turned gray, pressed down with both hands.

Greg in the first half. Oden, who found it difficult to get the ball after the game started again. looked at the friend who grew up with him, and was forced to make frequent mistakes by several outside players on the other side. You can only use the block to clear the siege for your teammates.

After a very tight cover, Oden skillfully pulled down to the basket as usual. With his hands outstretched, he kept an eye out for the ball that was about to fly. No, why didn't anyone change their defenses.

It turned out that the kind-hearted Oden not only did not help his friend, but also brought Conley's opponent who was defending him with him. The center player at Oak Hill High School thought, "I can't prevent that big pervert anyway, so I might as well just block the opposing defender and prevent him from passing the ball easily."

Mike, who has been stalked by the other party. Conley, at this time, I really know that I am suffering. Not to mention the dribble breakthrough, now I don't even have a chance to pass the ball easily.

After the two star players were cut off by each other, Lawrence North High School was in decline. After the score was overtaken, under the opponent's sharp outside attack, the score difference continued to widen.

Durant looked at the dejected-looking monster under the basket, thanks to the coach's proper tactics. If it was like the first half, it would be really hard to say whether the game would have been won or lost.

With less than two minutes left in the game, Oak Hill High School, which has a 16-point lead, can be said to have put the victory in this key battle in their pockets.

Coach Smith on the sidelines had already flown to Chicago at this time.

Derek. Rose looked helplessly at the scoreboard on the field, Simeon High School 67:80 Timothy High School. As a sophomore in high school this year, he led the team all the way to the finals of the Chicago Regional Championship.

still lost to the Trojans team with peerless pride, although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

"Hey! Dude, why aren't you happy. Sun Yi hugged his friend with a smile, and seeing the other party's jealous handsome face, Rose twisted his head to the side with some anger, and Sun Yi continued to quip: "Hey! Why are you still not convinced, buddy, I am not embarrassed to clean you up today. Otherwise, you won't even get 15 points today, and you'll be choked with even 15 points. ”

Rose shook off the other man's arm, although his friend's words made him very embarrassed. However, I still agree with the other party's words in my heart, and most of the time today it was not Sun Yi who was in his position with him, but the white point guard named Thomas. Although the opponent is very hard working and tenacious, Rose's strength is there, and he also has an absolute advantage in height and strength.

In the only four times he faced Sun Yi's defensive attack, he only scored 2 points once. The gap between the two seems to be getting bigger and bigger, making Derek's heart higher than the sky. Ross was a little unacceptable.

"Don't be depressed, what's going to happen this summer?" Sun Yi didn't care about his friend's emotions, and once again affectionately upstairs to the other party's shoulder.

"I'm going to go to a couple of training camps." Rose glanced a little helplessly, this friend who made people laugh and scold.

"Oh, are you interested in going to Jordan's training camp with me, it's worth it to meet your idol than anywhere." Sun Yi had a pilgrim-like look on his face and said in a tone full of yearning.

"I probably won't be able to go, but the ABCD training camp sent me an invitation and I'm going to give it a try." Ross explained.

"Oh, okay. I have to go with my teammates to claim the award, don't be too envious! ”

"! Get out of here. ”

"By the way, after the training camp. Let's continue to practice together this summer, okay? ”

"Ugh! Well, I'm going to make you miserable. ”

……

Derek. Rose looked at his good friend who had turned away, clenched his fists, and swung hard in the air. I swore in my heart that I would defeat you, my friend.
