Chapter 10: War

The ball that fell from the air was easily flicked towards his own half by the center of the junior varsity. And the jumping players of the freshman team didn't even jump at all, and the height difference between the two was too much.

Glenn got the ball and dribbled across the half court, and saw Sun Yi lower his center of gravity and look at him calmly. Take a step outside the three-point line in the right half-arc and accelerate directly. The two are so familiar that they don't need to be tempted at all, and they will see blood with bayonets as soon as they come up.

As soon as Glenn accelerated, Sun Yi stuck to his opponent. As soon as he was next to Glenn, his chest was hit by the opponent's powerful body, but he knew what the consequences would be if he let the opponent into the basket.

Sun Yi clenched his grip and prepared to withstand the fierce physical confrontation that followed. Suddenly, the pressure lightened. I saw Glenn take a step back and make a dashing jumper from beyond the three-point line. I'm X, this thing actually learns from me. Glenn, who deceived Sun Yi, easily threw the ball in without interference.

"Hey, man. It's not just you who can shoot. Glenn was very satisfied with the results of this summer's hard practice shooting, and said to Sun Yi proudly while retreating to his own half court.

Okay, there's a kind, etc., which will show you what a real shot is. The freshman team attacked, and Sun Yi was targeted by Glenn just after halftime. Thomas dribbled the ball and wanted to pass to Sun Yi several times, but saw Glenn's defense almost sticking to him, so he dismissed the idea. In the face of the opponent's relatively tight defense, the other players of the freshman team obviously lacked self-confidence. The basketball was like a hot potato, passing back and forth in the hands of the freshman team members.

Sun Yi was under Glenn's close defense, and there was no chance to catch the ball at all. Looking at the passage of time for the attack, I couldn't help but be a little anxious. From the physical contact with Sun Yi, Glenn also found that the strength of this product is growing day by day. Suddenly, the other party accelerated sharply towards the top of the arc, and Glenn did not dare to slack off and followed closely. Immediately afterwards, the opponent made a sharp stop and turned around and ran to the basket.

Sun Yi, who was inserted into the basket, did not ask for the ball at all. Instead, he used the physical cover of his own team members to distance himself from Glenn a little. Then he made another turn and ran towards the empty corner.

Thomas saw Sun Yi's sudden forward insertion, and did not pass the basketball he had just received in his hand again. He was ready to wait and see if Sun Yi could get rid of the other party's entanglement.

Glenn saw the distance between the two of them constantly widening and cursed his teammates for their stupidity. Increasing the speed again, I must not let him get rid of me.

Sun Yi, who ran to the bottom corner, was when everyone thought he was ready to catch the ball. Using his dexterous body, he made another sharp turn and ran along the three-point line to the top of the arc, while extending his hands to signal Thomas to pass.

Glenn, who had just raised his speed, faced another change of direction from the other party. The distance widens again, because the defense is always passive, and the attacker is more prepared for every move.

Seeing Thomas pushing the ball towards him with both hands, Sun Yi immediately lowered his center of gravity slightly, and his feet were ready to jump at any time. The pass was comfortable, just in front of the chest. Take off, shoot, the whole action stretches naturally, in one go. A high parabola, the ball is cornered at 45 degrees towards the basket. There is no suspense, and the ball hollows into the net.

"Chris, oh, are these two little ones a gift from God?" The assistant next to Coach Bo Li had an exaggerated expression. Glenn's strength is well known to everyone, but it is only because of Coach Boe's insistence that he has been in the dust of the small school team. Otherwise, Glenn, who has a balanced offense and defense, would have become a superstar in high school basketball.

Today I found another high school freshman who is not inferior to Glenn, and what does it mean. It means that this duo will sweep the entire state of Illinois, and even the entire American high school scene. Besides, the other players brought out by Coach Boli are not bad.

The game continued, and the freshman team members on the field saw Sun Yi's performance. found that he also had star players in his team who could compete with the opponent's ace, so he didn't feel like a lamb to the slaughter, and his momentum was great for a while.

In the next game, Glenn did not rely on his own individual ability to blindly do it. To be fair, Glenn is a kid with a high ball IQ, and he finds that his teammates have a clear advantage in the confrontation with the freshman team except for Sun Yi, and he has a well-rounded skill to organize the offense of the junior team.

And the freshman team did not show weakness under the leadership of Sun Yi, although the cooperation was not as tacit as the other party. But he played very tough, not giving up an inch of ground on defense, and every player in the offense kept using cover to create space for Sun Yi, and Sun Yi did not disappoint everyone. At halftime, the freshmen were only five points behind.

In the third quarter, Glenn noticeably changed his strategy and strengthened his individual shots. Every attack is like a mountain hammer, fiercely chiseling Sun Yi into the hinterland, using his super personal ability to completely ignore the other players who make up for the defense.

Sun Yi gasped, sweat dripping to the ground. In the high-intensity confrontation with Glenn, Sun Yi's physical fitness declined quickly. The last time he attacked, he was barely able to jump after struggling to get under the opponent's basket. Thanks to the careful Thomas, who responded in time on the outside, he received a pass from Sun Yi and hit a three-point shot.

The game was still deadlocked, 52:56. The freshmen team is 4 points behind, toot! The referee blew the whistle for the end of the third quarter. Sun Yi dragged his heavy legs and walked to the rest area. "Hey! Sun, are you okay, can you still hold on? Thomas climbed on Sun Yi's shoulder and asked in his ear with concern.

Sun Yi shook his head expressionlessly, put his butt on the stool, and picked up a towel to cover his head. "Sun, in the fourth quarter, you don't have to play." Sun Yi pulled away the towel and saw Coach Tommy smiling at him.

Seeing Sun Yi's pleading expression, Tommy shrugged his shoulders helplessly. In the direction of Coach Bo Li, he pouted. "Coach Bo Li ordered, I can't help it."

It turned out that when Coach Boli saw the second half of the third quarter, he motioned to his assistant to tell Tommy to let the Oriental teenager rest. Coach Tommy was naturally reluctant to see that there was hope of defeating his opponent. But there is no way, who makes the family the leader.

Sun Yi, who was sitting on the sidelines, trembled his calves and stomach, and he knew that this was a precursor to cramps. watched Glenn's performance on the court, and really envied the other party's perverted physical fitness. Such a high-intensity confrontation is still easy in the end.

With the end of the fourth quarter, the Varsity won 74-58. Yes, in the entire fourth quarter of Sun Yi's break, the freshmen team only scored 4 points.

Coach Tommy handed the game statistics to Sun Yi, "Good job, I guess you will report to the elementary school team tomorrow." ”

He scored 34 points on 12-of-20 shooting, 7-of-9 from three-point range and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line. Four assists, all from Thomas. Seven rebounds, three steals, looks like good stats.

Looking at Glenn's stats again, he shot 18 of 25, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws, totaling 47 points, of course, 15 of which were cut after Sun Yi went off the court in the fourth quarter. But 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals, 4 blocks, such comprehensive data does give Sun Yi a sense of powerlessness. I'm X, I'm still not human.

"Chris, I think that freshman is more than capable of making it to the varsity team." The assistant took the data sheet and said excitedly to Coach Bo Li beside him. "He scored all the points in front of Glenn, and there was basically no moisture." The assistant saw that the other party did not say anything, and continued.

Coach Bo Li handed over the data sheet from his assistant and put it in the folder without even looking at it. Patted the other man on the shoulder, "Don't you see that he can't handle the whole game now?" When the assistant heard this, he felt that there was hope and continued to persuade, "Yes, but the physical fitness can be practiced, even if we only let him play twenty minutes in a game." I can hardly imagine any team in Illinois that can stop us. ”

Coach Bo Li stared into the assistant's eyes and said nothing. It wasn't until he saw that the other party's eyes couldn't look at him, and then he said in a deep voice: "The most important thing for us to take these children to play is not the championship." It's about letting them enjoy the sport, and don't you know what the consequences will be if they rush into a high-intensity confrontation beyond their body can withstand before their growing body is not ready? ”

The assistant was red-faced by Coach Bo Li's words. "Chris, I ......" Coach Boeh stopped the other party's apology, because he understood his assistant's thoughts. The Trojans have been kept out of the Final Four for the third year in a row and need a championship too much. But he has his principles, principles that cannot be surpassed.

"You go tell Vane and let him give that kid some physical and strength training." Wayne is in charge of the Varsity team and is very good at the physical and strength aspects. Watching the assistant lead the way, Coach Bo Li looked at the two children who were talking and laughing on the sidelines, and showed a rare smile.

"Glenn, I'll tell Coach Snyder that you're not serious about training with the Red Hawks." Sun Yi hugged Glenn affectionately and said jokingly. Glenn is clearly stronger today than in the Red Eagles, which shows that he has always been strong. "Oh, man. How can I be blamed for this, because no one in the Red Eagles can force me to give it my all. "Glenn was obviously in a very good mood after winning the game.

"Then it seems that my performance today is quite passable, at least you have to show the strength to breastfeed." Sun Yi obviously didn't want the other party to get cheap and behave.

"Not just for you, but for Coach Boeh." Glenn looked at the old man who was leaving the court and said with a solemn expression. Coach Boehrie's pace is not athletic, but every step seems to be in Glenn's heart. The gradually blurred back seems to coincide with the father he has never met in his dreams.

Sun Yi followed Glenn's gaze and saw Coach Boli. I looked at Glenn again, and it wasn't like that. It shouldn't be a long-lost father and son, so sadistic to say.
