Chapter 63: Returning from Injury

The Louisville Archbishops, with an 18-9 record, are in fourth place in the Great East Conference and are four wins away from Syracuse University in ninth, and if they win one more game, they will secure a spot in qualifying.

They have been in good form lately, with three straight wins, and their core Francesco Garcia has been an eye-catcher this season, averaging 18.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 46% from the field, ranking first in the Great East Conference in scoring. The draft prospects are bright, and even if he doesn't make it to the tournament, he's still unanimous with prediction sites.

And tonight, they welcomed St Joseph, who have been in terrible form lately, and it was an opportunity for everyone to hold their breath and seal qualifying was just around the corner.

The atmosphere was warm and the audience was satisfied with the results of the Louisville Archbishop team, cheering and cheering.

As St. Joseph's players walked out of the players' tunnel, they were greeted by waves of boos, like waves sweeping and raging, rushing towards Smith and the others. When the DJ pronounced Kyle's name, everyone was stunned, and the momentum froze, and then a roaring bombardment broke out like never before.

Kyle's name, of course they know, the previous period of wind in Pennsylvania, led to a violent wave, which is mainly thanks to ESPN's live broadcast and pictorial page publicity, and it is a legendary king return of the lore drama, the opponent is a strong opponent like Connecticut, which can better reflect Kyle's tall and mighty image, which makes people remember it and it is of course, especially in the Great Eastern League! Kyle's name is even more resounding.

Didn't he reimburse? This is everyone's doubt! All the members of the Louisville Archbishop's team were even more shocked and a little uneasy in their hearts! The shadow of the famous tree, Kyle's deterrent power is still there, and the former Great Eastern Alliance is the best, and no one can ignore it.

When St. Joseph's squad was announced, Harlingdore, the coach of the archbishop's team, was completely stunned. What's going on? Change formations? Kelly and Martin weren't on the list, which is hard to believe. In such an important game, Martelley dared to do this! That's a lot of courage.

This would have been a great thing for Louisville, but Harlindor was upset, Kyle's comeback had a great impact on him, and now the change of formation made him even more trance-like. This must be a trap! Or is it a targeted arrangement, Harlingdore doesn't think Martelley will make these useless changes, who would do such a self-defeating thing? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the more he thought about it, the more messy it became, everything he had laid out before the game became nonsense, and now he didn't know what to do! A sense of panic that I had no clue and couldn't do anything spread in my heart.

The coaches are not calm! The players couldn't be better. Garcia is now curious to ask the coach what to do? But the pinch of ash on Harlingdoer's face made him stop, and in this case, if he asked such words, wouldn't it seem that he lacked confidence, and it was very likely that he would be reprimanded by the coach and touch the ashes. And the other players also hold this kind of thought, emotions can be contagious, and the atmosphere that was just high was instantly down, and they couldn't figure it out.

Martelley on the side walked back and forth with a blank face, which could eliminate the mania in his heart, he would never have imagined that the two guys he banned would actually make Louisville mess up and be impetuous, if he knew, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

Louisville's starting center is Lyon, power forward is Priy Dunway, small forward Garcia, scoring guard Drew, and point guard Hassan.

St. Joseph's center is Smith, the power forward is Adams who replaces Kelly, the small forward is Larry, the shooting guard is Bildt who replaces Martin, and the point guard is of course Kyle.

As the whistle blew at the beginning of the game, Kyle took the ball smoothly, accelerated and accelerated, passed the two in an instant, met Pry Dunway under the basket, and a pull-up rod moved in the air for a layup, leaning on the opponent to shoot, and the ball went in and added a penalty.

It's a dismount! It is also a kind of declaration. Kyle is going to tell everyone that he's back! The mightier Kyle is back!

After a pause of two seconds, the deafening boos at the scene reached its peak in an instant, what does it mean? It shows that the Louisville students and alumni on the scene are scared! This is one of the meanings of the many boos, and it is also a kind of special treatment that only the truly strong deserve.

There are also boos that put more pressure on the opponent, such as openings, such as free throws. There are also boos for the referee, questioning the referee's decision, which is more of a manifestation of home field advantage. There were also boos that were immediate, such as injuring a home player. And in the NBA league, there is a strange boo, which is for the betrayer, such as the player who transferred out of the home team to this arena, this kind of boo can be enjoyed by many players, it is nonsensical but very cute and sincere!

Add penalties to the score! Attacking and defending in different places, Hassan controlled the ball and advanced, using Lyon's blocking and dismantling to burst in, but the effect was not great, Leon was a guy who didn't shoot in the middle and long range, and he only blocked and didn't dismantle, Smith directly forced Hassan to stop the ball, and Kyle directly used his long arm and speed to grab.

Poor Hassan, the basketball in his hand was taken away. Louisville was on the back foot, Kyle was just past the halfway line, and Garcia and Drew were already near the free throw line.

Kyle reached the top of the arc, and no one paid attention, and the two guys shrank in the penalty area, as if they were sure that Kyle would not dare to shoot. Kyle admired in his heart, it seems that his routine has been exposed, he usually encounters this situation, he will rush up, than three points, he is more sure of breaking through two layups.

But that was before the injury! He's getting better now, he's been away from the court for a while, but he's fearless, he needs to find a better balance, he needs to try the basket to find his touch, he needs to know how much the three-point has improved, and that's where the only official verification is on the court.

Take off, adjust your hand, shoot, the ball spins in the air, "smack", into the net!

Standard textbook three points! This time Hassan was much more obedient, handing the ball to Garcia at a 45-degree angle on the left side after half-time, and it was time for the leader to save face!

Pull away, single Larry with his back, arch in, until he is very close to the basket, Kyle runs over and chooses the bag, Garcia does not choose to divide the ball, turns and steps back, rides and shoots, no! Adams protects the rebound,

Kyle took the ball and ran wildly, a serpentine route, to the right flank, without pause, changing direction, and an acceleration past Hassans. Jumping in front of Drew, Drew, who flew at one point, was fouled by Kyle, and the ball spun and turned, bumped and touched, stumbled into the frame, and another 2+1.
