Chapter Ninety-Three: Shaking Down and Respect
At half-time, people were depressed on the small bench! The students of Wisconsin were not happy, they dragged their families to support their school, only to see their home team being beaten, and a dark horse leading by double digits into the half, saying that the strength of the good has the advantage? What the hell is St. Joseph, basketball has never shown up, Kyle was shining a while ago, but that was in the Great East League, they don't think one person can turn the world upside down, this is the championship, this is Wisconsin's home court, not only is it not leading, but it is so far behind, which is satisfactory to explain. Especially in the last three minutes, Kyle's violent performance made them feel uneasy, irritability occupied their minds, and helplessness filled their whole body, don't be hacked!
The stalemate was shattered by Kyle in an instant. Before the game, people in Wisconsin actually thought that Kyle was a false appearance, and the super quadruple-double was just luck. But in fact, Kyle taught them a painful lesson, giving them a fatal blow when their nerves were numb and they were careless. Kyle's scoring explosiveness is on full display.
At this time, everyone in the locker room in Wisconsin was a little dull, and it would be full of excitement before the resumption. More than a dozen points behind! This is not the end of the world, but it is very close to the end of the world, especially when the strength of the two sides is equal and the other party has a decisive figure at a critical moment, their current situation can be said to be precarious. It won't be easy for Wisconsin to catch up with the score, they've done their best, and they've had a relatively smooth style, no consistent scoring, no habit of digging too big, and they're pretty good defensively. But now that the pit has been dug deep, they don't have an overwhelming advantage at all, and they don't have anyone who can stand up, but it is Kyle, the guy who rose up in the last three minutes, that makes them afraid, how to prevent it? That's the problem.
Ryan vomited blood with regret, and if he had called a timeout to defend tightly when Kyle had scored the first goal, it might have been a completely different situation. When he set up the defense before the game, he did treat Kyle as a strict target, and he focused on it. The game was indeed as he expected, and Kyle didn't have a great performance, but in the last three minutes, Kyle gave him a slap in the face, which made him faint! That's when he realized that he still underestimated Kyle's strength. Kyle used his way of playing to tell Wisconsin that there is a kind of player who is famous all over the world, and it makes perfect sense that they can't ignore it.
Although the situation is extremely bad, it can be in this life-and-death game. Ryan still had to brace himself, and if even he panicked, then it would be equivalent to a death sentence. "Kids! It wasn't as bad as we thought it would be, we behaved tenacious, we were on the right path, it was just the laxity of the second half that hurt us and it was all in the past, wasn't it? Now it's more time to look forward than to be discouraged here, and our work for a season is focused on the next 20 minutes, take chances, stay focused, we can beat anybody, I believe in it. ”
After the speech, back to the actual game, Ryan made another arrangement and arrangement, explaining the main points, especially the defense of Kyle.
Martelley seemed much more relaxed, he just praised a few words lightly, and then told everyone not to relax, to always be vigilant, and finally to make a declaration, it was time to fight hard!
The second half continued, and both sides had a tacit understanding that they did not come to the bench. As soon as Kyle controlled the ball in the front court, he was forced by Allendo's ferocious force, but is Kyle a vegetarian? Using the power of speed to directly accelerate the hard squeeze, Allendo was left behind and complained.
Herbert saw Kyle accelerate, pulled it out for him to block, Kyle borrowed it, the speed was fast, and after reaching the top of the arc, the brakes stopped sharply, and the three-point shot was on the spot! Everybody's stunned! Three-point shooting is not Kyle's strong point, it's a well-known fact that Kyle didn't shoot a single one in the first half, and it was a surprise to start the second half with a three-point shot. Coats, who was nearby, pounced in anticipation of interference, and Harold, who was one step in front of Kyle, also hurriedly jumped, but it was too late! This shot, Kyle had already premeditated, that is, to find this gap, take advantage of everyone's subtle ideas, and try how it feels!
Sila really brought good luck, three points in! 15 points difference. The shouting of "defense" at the scene stopped abruptly, and everyone lost their voices and was dumbfounded! Then there was a lot of mourning.
Wisconsin's offense, they are very calm. Tucker broke through, no chance, passed out. Coates also broke through, but was still suppressed by St. Joseph's defense, and did not shoot indiscriminately, and Allendo also used the help of blocking and demolition to burst in, but it still didn't have much effect. Then it was the passing of the ball, and finally the composure was exchanged for a mistake.
The atmosphere began to be heavy, and everyone had bitter mouths, of course! Except for the supporters of St. Joseph.
This time, the taller Tucker defends Kyle, hoping to interrupt his campaign to kill them completely.
Kyle arrives at the top of the arc and stares at the basket, and everyone pulls away, one-on-one. This goal is very crucial, if it is scored and can completely destroy the opponent's psychological defense, then the road ahead will be smooth, and victory is within reach.
There are still ten seconds left in the offensive time, and it seems that Kyle is ready to use his personal ability to eat, and Tucker has sweat on his forehead, and the time seems to be infinitely extended!
Kyle moves! Sink your shoulders, dribble quickly, adjust your sense of rhythm, and stride to the right. Tucker instinctively reacted and took a half-step back with his left foot, and Kyle dribbled under his crotch to the left. Tucker sideways to keep up and didn't lose position.
Kyle took two steps and leaned on Tucker, who was close to him, then turned to the right, and again did a crotch dribble to the left, and after Tucker stepped back to the right to defend, he took a rapid left slide step, and when he just adjusted his body and leaned to the left, Kyle directly crossed the left foot and marched to the right. This directly confused Tucker, and his body reaction followed, but he made a move in a completely unbalanced situation, and fell to the floor with a "bang". Kyle is fluted too! There was an empty space in front of him, and he shot directly after coming back to his senses, how could he not seize this great opportunity. Medium distance again! A difference of 17 points.
This time, Kyle used perfect footwork, physical coordination, and rhythm to directly shake the defender Tucker down! This is a rare and ridiculously difficult probabilistic scene on the basketball court, but Kyle did it! The perfect offensive score, but without applause, everyone blackfaced! Including Tucker, who was shaken down by the attacker, this is definitely a great shame for a basketball player, he is ashamed! The audience was in the same mood as Tucker.
Kyle praises Tucker from the bottom of his heart, a hard-working and serious guy. People only see the cool scenes, the funny of the person who is shaken, but they don't know that the prerequisite for being shaken down is that the defender is fully committed to this defense, otherwise at most out of position, it is impossible to shake down. Tucker, on the other hand, is respected and recognized by Kyle.
These thoughts were completed before Kyle landed, and after thinking about it, he reached out and motioned for Latak. But the latter was already red-faced at this time, as if he saw Kyle's mocking expression, Tucker stood up, he wanted to beat people, saw Kyle's harmless appearance, made sure he was not laughing at himself, gave up this terrible thought, patted his ass and left, he wanted to die, how could he bird the kind signal released by Kyle. Kyle didn't dwell on it, shook his head and defended himself, they were hostile now, there was nothing to say.
