The halftime score was fixed at 46:38, and Timothy High School ended with an eight-point lead.

Oak Hill High School narrowed the gap to within double digits in the five minutes that the opponent replaced the main lineup. But judging by the expressions on the faces of these children as they walked towards the players' tunnel, it was clear that they could not accept such a score for a while.

During the ten-minute half-time break, Coach Smith didn't make an impassioned declaration of battle in the locker room. Hiding in the hallway to smoke, he opened the door to the locker room after throwing the extinguished cigarette butt into the trash.

Glancing at the solemn room, the nationally renowned high school coach said in his not high-pitched or even somewhat hoarse voice, "A question. What does the crest on your jersey represent? ”

The players looked up one after another, looking at the coach who was not very tall. Kevin, who was substituted early. Durant, on the other hand, thought thoughtfully.

The first player to respond was none other than the team's spiritual leader, Ty. Lawson. This small player, in his not too tall body, seems to have a natural spirit of not admitting defeat.

"Coach, when I first transferred to our school, I was blown away by the countless honors and trophies in the team's showroom. In the quiet campus in the mountains, away from the distractions of the world, I get up on time every day and turn off the lights on time. Except for basketball, we don't have the colorful spare time of our peers. Lawson paused as he looked at his coach and teammates with a sincere expression. These simple and boring days sometimes make me feel how stupid the choice was in the first place. ”

"However, this kind of life tempered my will, and made my teammates who get along with each other every day in this room become an indestructible iron fist." The young man raised his clenched fist high and said emotionally: "Along the way, many seemingly invincible enemies have fallen in front of us. Let's use this well-honed fist once again to defeat the last opponent who stands in our way to victory. ”

Durant looked at his friend with admiration, and he always hid himself behind his teammates, but this time he took the lead in applauding in a rare way.

The fighting spirit in the Warriors' locker room grew stronger, and Coach Smith took two deep breaths of air with great enjoyment. Gently press your hands to calm down the children who have rekindled their fighting spirit.

"Kevin, can you give me your answer now?" Looking at the tall and thin boy who was hugging his friend, Coach Smith asked calmly.

"Sir, I think I know what to do." The boy let go of the arm that was on his friend's shoulder, "I can't stop him, but I'll fight back with constant scoring." ”

"Okay, I'm satisfied." The coach smiled with satisfaction.

In the first half, Glenn not only fired full of firepower in the offense, but because Durant's abnormal play, he also abandoned the opponent without hesitation, and repeatedly used his perverted physicality to return to his own restricted area to help defend. Otherwise, how could the Oak Hill Warriors, who have the advantage in overall strength, lose so ugly.

Looking at the players who are gradually returning to normal, Coach Smith has a strong confidence in his heart. The game has just begun, hasn't it?

Sunny. Sampson has been sitting quietly in his seat since he came to the court. Compared with Sun Wenyuan and his wife and Anna's family, who are talking and laughing, even if her son Glenn made some wonderful moves that excited fans during the game, she still did not move like a sculpture. It's just that this mother's eyes are full of her son's figure.

Although Glenn was very young, he showed athletic talent beyond the average child. But the harsh living environment will take away the most important person in Sunny Sunny's life at any time.

In my mother's impression, Glenn matured very early. Because he needs to take a lot of chores outside, in exchange for the living needs of the mother and son. Every day when she came home, it was dark, and Glenn, who was seven or eight years old, would always keep the house in order, and a hot mashed potato after a simple cooking would make her tears welling up involuntarily.

If it weren't for Coach Boley's timely help, Glenn might not have been alive and well on the field.

Sunny looked at the big screen above the stadium that kept playing her son's wonderful moments, and a touch of wetness crept into her eyes. Son, mom is proud of you, all your efforts over the years have not been in vain.

TNT's commentary trio summed up the first half of the game at halftime. Ernnie. Johnson began by saying, "The sweep of Timothy High School in Illinois is well deserved. In the first half of the game, he always took the initiative. If the Oak Hill Warriors can't get back in time for the second half. Today, there is a good chance that their unbeaten season will end at the United Center. ”

"That's right. Especially against the Trojans' core player, Glenn. Sampson responded effectively, otherwise the rest of the game would have been very difficult for them. "Kenny. Smith took over the conversation very tacitly.

"No, no, no. Limit Glenn alone. Sampson is not enough, and the Chinese player named Sun Yi should also be taken seriously by the Warriors. "It seems that Barkley always likes to contradict his friends.

Seeing that the second half of the game was about to begin, Johnson stopped the argument between the two in time. 'The players from both teams have returned to the pitch and it will be interesting to see who will taste their first defeat of the season.'

Soon, at the signal of the referee, the Oak Hill Warriors served on the sideline of the midfield, and the second half of the game between the two teams officially began.

Although Thomas worked very hard, he faced the extremely fast Ty. Lawson, it's very difficult to defend. After the opponent broke through his own defense again, he could only hope for the ubiquitous Glenn in the first half. Sampson wiped his ass.

Sure enough, Lawson saw that the perverted buddy next to his friend Durant was once again blocking his breakthrough route. Well done! It's your defense.

Lawson, who was speeding at high speed, flicked his wrist flexibly, and the ball instantly came to the chest of Durant, who had been waiting on the outside for a long time. The tall and thin boy changed his hesitant state in the first half, and when he received the ball, he directly shot three points.

The shooting touch that seems to have disappeared for a long time has also found its owner again with Durant's resolute and decisive shot. After a short flight, phew! The ball went into the net without any suspense.

Coach Smith clenched his fist in the air in excitement after seeing the goal on the sidelines. Well done, Kevin. Let your opponent see your true strength!

"Next ball, help me open up space." Glenn, who decided to return the favor to his opponent, said to his friend with a relaxed face. Sun Yi looked at the tall and thin figure and silently prayed for him in his heart. Clearly, Glenn was enraged by his opponent's score. Friends who are angry have to avoid three points even themselves.

SURE ENOUGH, GLENN PLAYED A WONDERFUL ANSWERBALL. After a few consecutive cross-step changes, Durant, who had an overly high center of gravity, was already stumbling a little. Glenn, who was intent on humiliating his opponent, did not take advantage of the situation to break through. Instead, he used a breakthrough feint to completely deceive the opponent's defensive center of gravity, and then received a large crotch dribble that shook Durant to the ground.

Glenn, who burst into the basket, jumped high in the face of Devindorf, who came over to make up the defense, dunked the opponent with a wonderful big windmill slam dunk, and also caused a foul, making it 2+1.

"Man, would you like to let Eric help you?" Lawson said with a concerned look on his face to his friend, who had just regained his touch. The tall and thin boy shook his head without hesitation, rejecting the other party's kind suggestion. looked at the opponent who threw the penalty and gritted his teeth. The first half was lost to you, and the second half will never be repeated.

Glenn had a helpless look on his face as he faced an opponent who kept running without the ball like crazy. From the opponent's expressionless face, he could clearly feel the opponent's strong fighting intent.

Durant, who kept running, finally received the ball from his friend Lawson near the free throw line. He ignored his opponent who had been following him closely, and completed the attack with a pull-up jumper that leaned back slightly.

The ball will be thrown over Glenn's fingertips. Swish! Oak Hill High School scored again.

The Trojans' next offense was also Glenn who responded with a step-back jumper.

The game entered a climax in the confrontation between two peerless geniuses.

You make one, and I'm going to shoot back. It's like the two of them are running a marathon, and you keep chasing after me.

Sun Yi looked at the inconspicuous tall and thin boy in the first half, but he was deeply shocked by the other party in his heart. can score against Glenn, who played a real fire, in addition to himself, even Simeon's friend Derek from High School. Ross couldn't have done it either.

I didn't expect this tall and thin boy who didn't look amazing to be so tenacious. What's even more rare is that he has already scored 16 points on Glenn's head, and it seems that American high schools are really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

After ten minutes of fierce confrontation, Timothy High School still had a five-point lead at 65:60. Tony. Sorrentino looked at Glenn, who was carrying the ball on the field, and a sense of foreboding suddenly enveloped him. He clenched his fist and hammered his chest, as if trying to drive the nasty sensation out of his body. This inexplicable feeling made him sweat profusely with nervousness.

Sun Yi, who was running towards the opponent's half, clearly heard a crisp sound in the noisy environment of the scene, boom! It's like the sound of an arrow string being broken because it is too hard.

Turning his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, he found his friend Glenn holding his right knee with a painful expression. The ball was out of control, bouncing uneasily beside him.

Sun Yi, who reacted, immediately ran to his friend who had known him for three years. Because he sensed that this time Glenn's situation was not good.
