Chapter 11: Intra-Team Confrontation (Continued)
The scene on the other side is completely opposite to Group A, and everyone is dancing with joy and joy. Kyle Lowry, this genius isn't that good! That's what all the Group B players are thinking at the moment. They couldn't be more relaxed now, listening carefully to Martletley's strategy for the second half.
"Everyone did a good job in the first half, but you haven't won yet, as long as Kyle breaks through, resolutely wraps up, concentrates, runs more on the offensive end, stabilizes the focus, shoots resolutely, and can't relax at any time..."
Unlike the joy of the team, Matley was heavy and expressionless. Kyle's performance is very good, especially in the opening stage, he understands the game very well, has a great impact on the game, has excellent defense, and has excellent physical fitness, but as a leader, Kyle is far from doing well enough, his ability to lead the team is doubtful, and his team is so far behind in the intra-team match, he has no choice. So what if it's against other universities? What did he do? Is Kyle really trustworthy? The answer to this question puts a big question mark on Matleley's mind, knowing that Kyle's three-point shooting is very poor.
How can Kyle, the talented Kyle who had high hopes for Mattelly, play up to his expectations? If Kyle is unable to lead his team out of the woods in the second half, then Matleley will be disappointed and St. Joseph's entry into the NCAA Tournament will be a long way off. Everything you think of will burst like a bubble.
The break is over and the second half is about to begin. Before going on the court, Kyle gathered everyone and said to them unhurriedly, "You don't have to be psychologically burdened, it's just an intra-team match, this is definitely not a disaster, we haven't reached the time of despair." Okay, we need to concentrate on the defensive end, try to be close to the hand-to-hand combat, consume their physical energy, pay attention to the help defense and supplemental defense, the offense is handed over to me, everyone receives the open ball, you must shoot resolutely, you can do it! Man, come on! Smith, you defend Kelly, Adams, and Morin are up to you! ”
"No problem!" Adams replied in unison. Herbert is very strange, Kyle has encountered this situation before, and he has already jumped to his feet and scolded his mother! Speak as badly as you want, hurt as much as you want, and scolding Martelley for being a dog is the most powerful proof of that. Now it's as if he's a different person, and it's a gentle word of encouragement. Smith shook his head, didn't dwell on it any more, isn't it nice to be like this now?
The crowd yelled "come on" and returned to the field, not noticing that Henry was looking at Kyle coldly.
Kyle's words are still very prestigious! They thought Kyle would get everyone together and lash out and reprimand him badly, but that didn't happen. The hearts they brought up finally let go, and like Kyle said, everything is still in despair, isn't it?
The game continued, Group B attacked, Kyle and others were ready to fight, no longer as depressed as in the first half. Hash used Maureen to block and break into the basket, Smith quickly pulled out to make up for the defense, Hash made a ground-hitting pass, and Kelly got the ball and got a dunk.
Kyle received a pass from Smith and accelerated all the way, running directly to the basket and making a layup in the air. Off-site offense and defense, Hash tasted the sweetness of the last ball, holding the ball and preparing to break through with the help of blocking and dismantling again, Kyle was already on guard, and whispered to Adams when he retreated, telling him to be a human wall to block on the right side, and he himself strictly guarded the left line. Hash broke around Maureen to the right, but was stopped by Adams, and he saw Maureen go down and sent a ground-hitting pass, just as Hash fantasized that he had another perfect assist. Kyle's long arm reached out to intercept the ball, and then he stepped up his horsepower and raced to his own half-court basket to end the offense with a slam dunk.
Larry hit a strong three-pointer back, and Kyle and Smith also hit the ball after the pick-and-roll. The two sides go back and forth, do not give in to each other, the last three minutes of the battle, the two sides have a total of less than ten rounds or so, the difference narrowed to 6 points, the score is 34:40, Kyle's tactics have worked, Kyle used his speed and strength, as well as Smith's blocking and dismantling to increase a lot of points, and then use active defense to consume the opponent's physical strength, the effect is quite obvious.
Matleley finally showed a smile, although the team he led was behind, but Kyle used the breakthrough and the ball, and finally redeemed a little disadvantage, as long as the last two teams are not much different, who wins and who loses, in fact, Matley does not care too much. At least Kyle is proving himself that Herbert is worthy of the school's scholarship, and that's enough.
"Brothers! Defend this goal, victory is not far away. Come on! Kyle encouraged again before he came on the pitch.
At the end of the timeout, Hash controlled the ball over half court and quickly threw it to Martin, who then threw it to Maureen, and kept breaking through the pass there, this time to play the success rate, pass the ball more and run more, and shoot again when he had the opportunity is the tactic arranged by Martelley. Kyle looked at the situation and his heart moved, the success rate of the game, so who is the biggest grasp in Group B? The answer was Larry, and Kyle affirmed the idea, keeping an eye on the basketball trajectory with ten seconds left on the offensive clock. The ball was in Martin's hands, he was breaking through, Turic was helping to defend, and with seven seconds left, Kyle gritted his teeth and finally decided to move closer to Larry. Things were as Kyle expected, Martin gave the ball to Larry, Larry steadied his mind, took a deep breath, and then jumped out of his hand, the moment he shot, Larry knew that the ball was there, and he was secretly proud in his heart, Kyle? Leader? Maybe not! But the next moment, a dark shadow appeared in his sight, flew in, and then the rising basketball was struck! Shatter Larry's freshly rising thoughts. Larry stares intently, Kyle? Didn't he defend Hash on the other side? When did you come here? What's the situation?
Kyle played a dragon for the fifth time and still had a four-point difference. The game continued, Hash took the ball to Martin, Martin got the ball and then burst Bildt, the layup was off, Kelly leaned on Smith's body, and then jumped hard to pick up the rebound, when he was ready to get up under the basket, he found that the basketball in his hand had fallen, looking left and right, Kyle was running with the ball! Snatched by him again? Kelly didn't have much to think about getting back on the defensive.
Kyle squeezed under the basket when Kelly and Smith grabbed the rebound, he was too short to stand a chance, and when Kelly got the ball, he quickly poked it in the back, then scrambled up to grab the ball and run. This time the Group B was quickly back defended, Kyle didn't have a chance, and when he got into position, he beckoned to Herbert and motioned for him to come up and block the demolition. The same trick, Group B has no choice but to shrink the basket, Kyle really can't make a move, can only throw to the three-point line vacant Bildt, the latter set his mind, three points, and finally entered, only one point difference.
