Chapter Twenty-Six: In the Elite Quarterfinals

The UCLA Bruins were replaced by point guard Tejus about eight minutes into the first half of the game. Edney and center George? Zidek's bench players, the team's tactics began to change, each ball launched an attack on the inside, because Teus and George are higher than the University of Utah's substitutes, so the Bruins began to open up the score gap in the next game.

Ma Jian also followed the substitute players of the University of Utah on the court, and after playing Ma Jian played very hard, he wanted to prove himself in this game and make the UCLA team administrators feel that it was their regret to miss him back then. Unfortunately, the University of Utah's bench players are indeed slightly inferior to the Bruins players in terms of strength, plus Teus? Edney has his team's offense in order, and center George? Zidik finished beating the University of Utah's backup center, and the impatient Ma Jian played a little alone, and the Bruins widened the gap to 13 points in the next five minutes, 26-39. Ma Jian scored four points with just a free throw and a mid-range.

University of Utah head coach Rick in a hurry to equalize? Megales had to bring Van Horn, who had less than five minutes of rest, on the pitch, and Ma Jian looked depressed when he came off the pitch, and he didn't have any communication with his teammates and Coach Rick, who knew him well.

After Van Horn came on, Utah's offense began to improve, first hitting a three-point shot on offense, and then successfully cutting off Bruins point guard Teyus to center George? Zidike's pass, the fast attack counterattack, and the creation of Hudson? White's foul was tied at two and one, and the deficit was reduced to seven points in one minute after the free throw was hit.

Bruins head coach George? Krent couldn't sit still, he didn't expect the rookie player from the University of Utah to have such outstanding strength. After some thought, George replaced the other players on the court except for the point guard and center, and replaced them with Liu Han and Eddie? Obonor and Thomson.

Liu Han was killed by George before he was ready to play? Clentra came to his side and said, "Han, wait a minute, you go misplay to prevent Horn, try to limit him from catching the ball, entangle him to death, interrupt him if he wants to use his height advantage to shoot, no matter what way you use, interrupt his shooting rhythm, you know?" ”

"Uh, got it, Coach, but is it really okay either way?" Liu Han still had some doubts about George's arrangement.

"Haha, boy, as long as you don't beat him, but be careful not to be too ruthless, be careful that you are punished."

After coming on the court, Liu Han relied on Thomson's cover to get a pass from point guard Teyus in the offense, and then he hit a three-point shot directly above the head of the opposing defender to stabilize the situation of the game, 32-42.

Van Horn found that after half time, he found that the defensive player had become the yellow man who was not inferior to him in three points, and he felt that their strength was nothing more than this after contacting the **** a somewhat stubborn and lonely yellow teammate, but Liu Han's performance on the court today surprised him a little, and he was the first time he met a college player who could compete with him for three points.

Liu Han stuck Van Horn like a kraft candy after Van Horn passed halftime, and his mind was still thinking about the coach's words, and he was thinking about how to stop the white man on the opposite side from shooting.

Van Horn motioned to teammate Andre? Miller passes the ball to him, and he wants to try how the yellow man's defense is.

The University of Utah's point guard saw that the team's future star was asking for the ball, so he passed the ball to Van Horn. Van Horn relied on his height advantage to receive the ball that was almost cut off by Liu Han. Liu's risky break deprived him of a reasonable defensive position against Van Horn, who dribbled and shot as soon as he saw that Liu Han was out of position.

Liu Han saw that Van Horn was ready to shoot, he tried to adjust his center of gravity and pounce on Van Horn again, but unfortunately because the previous steal was a little too violent, Liu Han, whose center of gravity had not been adjusted, slipped and fell forward. When he pounced, Liu Han's hand tried to keep his balance, and he vaguely felt that he had grabbed something and tugged hard.

Van Horn, who was about to shoot three points, felt a chill under him, and his heart was flustered, and the three points that had been shot deviated from the basket, and what made him even more sad and angry was that Liu Han directly pulled off his underwear......

The audience was silent for a while, and then burst into laughter.

Liu Han, who had already climbed up, hurriedly pulled up Van Horn's shorts and bottoms that were still immersed in grief and anger, but fortunately, the hem of the upper body part of the basketball uniform was a little long, and there was nothing that should not be exposed.

Bruins coach George who was drinking water on the sidelines? Krent squirted out a mouthful of water when he saw what was happening on the field, and he felt that it was necessary for him to teach Liu Han another lesson in the future.

"Uh, sorry, I really didn't mean to, I just slipped and fell." Liu Han hugged Van Horn tightly, whose face was turning red.

", I knew you yellowskins were despicable guys. Now, please let me go, I don't want people to think I'm a 'glass', and I swear I'm going to blow you up today. A disgraced Van Horn gritted his teeth and said these words.

The referee did not punish Liu Han too severely, and they saw clearly from the sidelines that Liu Han accidentally slipped and accidentally pulled off Van Horn's shorts, but Van Horn still had to perform three free throws.

Perhaps the anger burned his head a little, and Van Horn's free throw hit just one.

Van Horn, who lost his composure, began to try to teach Liu Han a lesson in the next game, and Liu Han did not feel too much guilt about his actions, this is not to say that Liu Han is a little mean, but in Liu Han's experience, what happened just now is not a big deal, when he was in his hometown, every summer afternoon, the turbid cement pond of the Wuding River is soaked with large and small bare-ass Suide men.

Ma Jian was a little happy after seeing Liu Han's behavior towards Van Horn on the field, anyway, his "honest man" compatriot avenged him in another sense, and Ma Jian began to like this young "honest" compatriot a little.

Liu Han, who still maintained his normal mentality, still performed well in the next game, relying on the help of his teammates and Van Horne, who was already angry, to hit three three-pointers in a row. Van Horn really felt that his brain was a little dizzy, as soon as he saw Liu Han get the ball, he couldn't help but want to go up and give this "despicable" guy a big hat, but his behavior just disrupted the team's overall defense, and in the offense, Van Horn also began to fight alone, he hoped to use his performance to cover up for himself.

The head coach of the University of Utah called a timeout, hoping that the angry scolding of Van Horn during the timeout would calm the young man's mind.

Van Horn finally calmed down after a lesson from the manager, and he began to think about how he could teach the vile yellow guy a lesson and help the team win.

In the offense of the University of Utah, Van Horn received a teammate Andre? Miller's pass, Liu Han in front of him was still sticking to Van Horn as always.

Van Horn felt that his opportunity had come, and he decided to give this despicable "yellow guy" some small tricks to let this nasty guy taste his own power.

Van Horn lifted the ball up from his hand, and in the process he deliberately flashed his elbow out. Liu Han, who was completely unaware that the other party had made a trick for him, was hit hard by Van Horn's elbow in the nose.

Liu Han, who felt the pain, did not give up his defense, he still stuck to Van Horn, and saw that the opponent raised his arm to shoot above his head, and Liu Han, who had lost the opportunity to jump, stretched out his hand directly in front of Van Horn.

Van Horn felt that Liu Han would definitely give up defense after taking such a hard elbow from himself, so he was ready to shoot directly, but he didn't expect the tenacious Liu Han to cover his hand straight to Van Horn's face, and the somewhat panicked Van Horn threw a "three no-sticks".

Bruins head coach George on the sidelines? Krent saw Van Horn's move, and he protested to the assistant referee standing next to him that it was an elbow that should have been whistled for a technical foul, but the referee ignored George's protests.

The referee on the field blew the game because Liu Han's nose was bleeding, and according to the rules, he had to go off the field to deal with it. After the Los Angeles Lakers' "Magic" Johnson was tested for HIV, basketball games at all levels in the United States changed the rules that whenever a player on the court bleeds or has a wound on his body, he must be treated as soon as possible.

The referee on the field actually noticed Van Horn's small movements, but he did not punish Van Horn, after all, this is the home of the University of Utah, and the opponent's yellow-skinned player does not seem to have been hurt too much, plus Liu Han had some "despicable" behavior before, so the referee only stopped the game after seeing Liu Han's nose bleeding.

George, the head coach of the Bruins on the sidelines, felt a little angry, but he didn't have any way, this is the unspoken rule, this is Utah's home court, and Liu Han is an NCAA "outlier", the referee will definitely favor the other side when blowing certain decisions, he just hopes that Liu Han is not hurt too much.

"Han, are you alright? Can you still play later? George asked, Liu Han, who was being treated by the team doctor, said.

"Well, it's fine, it's just a little painful, and it's a little uncomfortable to stuff these two things." Liu Han, who was stuffed with two balls of hemostatic cotton in his nose, felt very uncomfortable.

"Han, don't stick too close to the other party after you get on the field, be careful of that guy's small movements, he did it on purpose just now."

"Uh, Coach George, are you saying he did it on purpose? Why did he hit me, I didn't hit him. After learning that the other party was deliberate, Liu Han was a little angry.

"I can't say this for a while, you just need to be careful not to let him hurt you again. I'll teach you another lesson when the game is over. ”

Liu Han felt that he was starting to be a little angry, in his opinion, it should be a very happy thing to be able to play in the limelight, how can he deliberately hit others, his grandmother taught him since he was a child that hitting people is not a good thing, so it is even more excessive to beat people on the basketball court.
