Chapter 170: The Third Man Is Out
Black Jack was still dressed in the same strange outfit, with a white shirt, a red tie, and black leather shoes. It's just that he doesn't have a weird expression on his face when he was in the 'flower' garden in the middle of the street that day. He walked on the field with a serious expression - the so-called stadium is the dilapidated and old half of the warehouse, and Cheng Fei has never understood why such a rich boss doesn't build a luxurious underground arena.
"Mad Cow" and "Grim Reaper" did not choose to challenge Cheng Fei. The other players, including Franks, did not attempt to challenge the authority of the two of them. In fact, Cheng Fei has long seen that the two "Mad Cow" and "Grim Reaper" are obviously different from other players, and it is difficult to say technically, but their physical fitness is definitely not on the same level as Franks.
This means that they are Philip's 'door' to deal with A-Top.
Neither of them objected to the addition of Cheng Fei, a new member, and the only threat that Cheng Fei threatened was Blackjack. From this point of view, it makes sense for Blackjack to choose a duel with Cheng Fei.
In this regard, Cheng Fei was a little apologetic. He had already heard Bobby say that Blackjack, despite his limited strength, has always been keen to participate in the A-Top, and the reason for this is that he hopes to use the A-Top to open the way to professional football. There are many owners of famous teams and big-name stars who come to watch this *** event, and it is said that they sometimes fancy certain players and bring them to the professional field. These lucky underground golfers are thus able to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" and live an upright life, although they will get less money.
If he defeats Blackjack, it means ruining his dream to some extent.
Cheng Fei took the ball and walked to the halfway line. The rule here is that whoever hits the half-court ball gets the ball. Shooting at the half-court position, Cheng Fei rarely tried, he held the basketball, took a deep breath, stared at the basket, and then rose to the ground!
Stuck in the air, shaking his wrists, and shooting, at such a long distance, Cheng Fei did not change his shooting posture at all. Now, his arm and wrist strength are really strong. When he landed, he raised his arms and focused his eyes on the basketball......
There was a bang of the bell, and the basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced high.
Cheng Fei didn't throw in.
Blackjack withdrew his surprised gaze. Judging from Cheng Fei's shooting posture just now, every detail was perfect, and he almost thought that this ball could be thrown, but it seemed that Cheng Fei lacked experience in shooting in that position. Blackjack sighed to himself.
He took the basketball thrown by the "Grim Reaper" and walked to the half-court halfway line.
Blackjack barely looked at the basket, he slapped the basketball and suddenly pushed forward with his right hand. This shooting posture is ugly, but the direction is extremely accurate, and it 'shoots' like a cannonball!
"Boom", the basketball hits directly in the inner basket, goal!
βYesοΌβ There was a burst of cheers on the sidelines, and Cheng Fei also clapped his hands gently. Blackjack obviously practiced shooting in this position a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have been as accurate in his orientation.
"I'll go first," Blackjack said to Cheng Fei who came over, his voice low and powerful, "With me here, you can die!" β
"Didn't you lose to me last time?" Cheng Fei said jokingly.
Blackjack didn't laugh, and said with a serious expression: "I will do my best this time......"
βOKοΌβ Franks shouted, "11 balls, one game, let's get ready!" β
Blackjack took the ball, his lanky arms bobbing from side to side, and the basketball bouncing lightly around his body. His ball handling skills are quite good, and although he is not as flashy as Franks, he has a lot more practical 'sex'. Many of the shaking of the center of gravity in the process of ball control are obviously out of the category of street ball, and have the characteristics of professional basketball.
Cheng Fei leaned over and waited.
Blackjack walked forward in a very dashing manner, the basketball going between the 'legs', the rhythm was steady, and he maintained a sudden attack. Cheng Fei didn't dare to break the ball rashly.
Suddenly, Black Jack raised his hand, and the basketball flew out of Cheng Fei's head with a "boom"!
This is very similar to the first time they encountered a ball in the 'flower' garden in the center of the street, Cheng Fei didn't expect Black Jack to repeat his old tricks, and he didn't react for a while!
The basketball flew over his head, hit the rebound with a "bang", and then bounced off. Due to the momentum of the ball, the direction of the bounce is almost perpendicular to the rebound. It was too late, it was fast, a figure passed by Cheng Fei's side, Black Jack's moccasin kicked the ground violently, and his slender body rose from the ground and swept straight into the air!
Although Blackjack's bounce power is good, it is indeed far from the "Grim Reaper", and it is not on the same level in terms of confrontation ability. Bobby once complained about this, saying that Blackjack was not a "pure" underground player, "had distractions" in mind, so he had little room for improvement, and was the obvious weakest of the trio competing in A-Top. Yes, Philip pinned his hopes on Cheng Fei.
However, from Cheng Fei's point of view, Black Jack's bounce is already quite good, and his performance 'sex' is obviously stronger than "Mad Cow" and "Death". For example, in this ball, Blackjack threw the ball and hit the rebound, then rushed up, grabbed the basketball in mid-air, and slammed it down!
"Click", Blackjack takes the first score!
He waved his arms arrogantly and glared at Cheng Fei fiercely - on the underground court, he always used this way to win the crazy support and overwhelming cheers of the audience. Why is this man, who has already earned a place in the underground basketball world, so persistently pursuing his body?
Cheng Fei didn't understand.
It was still Blackjack who attacked with the ball. As I said before, he deserves to be a player who can participate in A-Top, and the 'flowers' in his hands are 'quite 'strong', making it difficult for Cheng Fei to catch the flaws and break the ball. However, in terms of strength, Blackjack is no longer Cheng Fei's opponent. After so many days of training, Old Tom just trained Cheng Fei, a yellow-skinned boy with a weak foundation, into a good body. However, in terms of appearance, Cheng Fei is still far inferior to a strong man like "Mad Cow".
As Old Tom said, Cheng Fei's power is all hidden in the bone marrow.
It was difficult for Blackjack to shake Cheng Fei's close defense, but his feet were still flexible. He first turned around with the ball with his left hand, the ball bounced up on the ground, and then turned around with the ball with his right hand. Cheng Fei was immediately stunned because he didn't understand Blackjack's offensive methods.
Blackjack turned around and shook off Cheng Fei for the second time, 'inserted' straight into the basket, threw the ball up with both hands, and accurately passed the basketball through the hoop from the bottom to the top!
Just as the basketball was falling vertically, Blackjack jumped up, easily held the ball with his right hand, and dunked it downward!
This kind of way of playing basketball is really unheard of by Cheng Fei. Despite all the training he had, his technique was still only enhanced and refined, and Tom Sr. did not teach him anything about the "crooked 'door' and evil ways".
Black Jack shook his head, stretched out two fingers, and shook it defiantly towards Cheng.
In an instant, it was already 2:0. Bobby couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice: "What has Old Tom been doing all this time, if Cheng only has this ability, we will be considered to have 'spent' our efforts in vain, and we have spent a lot of money on 'waste'......"
"You're always so impatient, Bobby," Philip smiled, 'smoking' a long cigar, "the Chinese are particular about being preemptive, which is different from us Americans." Let's see how it turns out. β
Bobby shook his head, his gaze returning to the arena.
***************
Cheng Fei pulled his 'pants' and 'legs' - this is his habit, whenever he has to defend with all his might, he always does this - leans down, spreads his hands, his right foot in front, his left foot back, his 'legs' are spread, and his body leans forward. His defensive movements are very standard, and after being guided by Tom Sr., he has become even more 'refined'.
Blackjack suddenly felt the pressure on his face.
A good defender may not need to be close, his position, posture, and eyes can bring great pressure to the opponent, which can be understood as an experience or momentum strength. Today's Cheng Fei has such momentum, and the old Tom once praised Cheng Fei's understanding of defense in front of Philip.
Blackjack took a deep breath and began to dribble, but this time he was visibly more careful.
Cheng Fei saw the flaw.
Every player has flaws, and the question is whether the opponent can catch them. Blackjack is not a professional player, and many of his moves have a streetball flavor, so he has many bad habits, although he tries to disguise them with speed and various feints as much as possible. For example, when Blackjack switches to his right hand, there is a noticeable pause and wrist flip in his palm, and when he chooses to break through, he often makes his body shake twice in a row. That is, from here, you can judge the direction of Blackjack's breakthrough.
In just a few faces, Cheng Fei found these flaws.
What is needed now is to take these flaws under the knife.
Under Cheng Fei's sharply increasing defensive pressure, Blackjack's rhythm of possession was a little 'disordered'. He struggled to get out of that defense with a flashy dribble, but it backfired. Blackjack couldn't help but secretly admire the defensive ability of this Chinese friend, and it seemed that he could always block Blackjack's offense as long as he wanted to.
But unexpectedly, Cheng Fei's pressure suddenly relaxed. Black Jack was like a prisoner who had been released from prison, his eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled straight with the ball and swept towards Cheng Fei's right side. He thought so, but he didn't. Because just when Blackjack wanted to rush over with the ball, the basketball in his hand fell.
He didn't know how it fell, in a trance, the basketball was still in his hand, and his body was still under habitual 'sex'. Immediately after, Black Jack felt that something was wrong, he grabbed a handful of air in his hand, and immediately turned around and glared at Cheng Fei.
It was a lightning break. said that Cheng Fei was fast, but it was better to say that he grasped the timing accurately. Blackjack's preparation before the breakthrough is the biggest flaw in Cheng Fei's eyes, he only needs to simply stretch out his hand to break the ball.
It's no wonder that Philip has been dissatisfied with Blackjack's performance. His skills are nothing more than that.
Just a minute into the game, the situation on the field changed dramatically. Although Cheng Fei didn't score, the defense and breaking the ball just now made everyone see that Blackjack was not Cheng Fei's opponent at all. Franks was naturally shocked by this, while Philip smiled smugly.
He didn't bet on the wrong treasure.
Cheng Fei stands outside the three-point line and dribbles. His dribbling is still so unpretentious, there is no flashiness at all, there are no curves in the movement of basketball, and there is no curvature in the posture of his arms. However, in this unpretentious dribble, there are thousands of variations. Blackjack knows this well, and once upon a time, in that unfair bullfight, he saw the unfathomable potential of this Chinese teenager. Time has passed, how much has Cheng Fei improved?
Blackjack knows very well that since Philip wants Cheng Fei to play A-Top, he will inevitably work his offensive ability. Cheng Fei's defense can be so improved, so how terrifying will the offense be?
His heart sank, and he stepped back.
Black Jack retreated into ***, which surprised everyone, including Cheng Fei. Generally speaking, if there is no such bullfighting, it is simply unreasonable to give up the outside competition and go directly to the defense of the inside. Philip frowned.
He knew what Blackjack was thinking.
Blackjack didn't want Cheng Fei to play A-Top, he wanted to get this spot. However, he is self-aware, and he knows that his current strength may be different from Cheng Fei, who has pinned his hopes on his boss. Therefore, Blackjack has only one way to choose, and he does his best to stop Cheng Fei from attacking the basket.
Yes, he knew that Cheng Fei was an outstanding pitcher. Everywhere inside and outside the three-point line, he has seen the stunt of flying through the Yang in the process. Not to mention the current Cheng Fei, when he first came, no one could compare with him in terms of shooting percentage.
But Blackjack ***.
The two were separated by a distance of several meters, quietly confronting each other.
All of them guessed right. Cheng Fei didn't choose to shoot, he slapped the basketball, staring at the basket, and a hungry green light suddenly flashed in his black 'colored' pupils. Although that look was fleeting, it still made Blackjack feel like he had been electrocuted, numb and unable to move. He had seen this strange look more than once.
It was a hungry wolf, a desperate desire for a basket.
Cheng Fei started abruptly and rushed straight with the ball. His speed did not reach the fastest, but it was very steady, and the stride was extremely large, and after two steps, Cheng Fei's back 'legs' seemed to be faintly exerting force, and his whole body was like a rocket rising into the sky, and he actually bounced up from the position of one step inside the free throw line!
A forced dunk from a long distance! Cheng Fei actually ignored the existence of Black Jack in ***!
Blackjack first involuntarily took a step back to the side - this is his instinct when playing show basketball, this kind of sport does not pay attention to defense, but lies in the continuous 'sex' and exhilaration of the offense - but he quickly realized what to do, so he gritted his teeth, jumped up, and slapped his hands on Cheng Fei's right hand holding the ball!
There is almost no foul in underground basketball, and there are no rules here. In addition to 'intense' movements that cause personal injury, as well as walking, going out of bounds and so on that violate basic basketball rules. Therefore, even if Blackjack fouled, no one did justice for Cheng Fei.
The situation is changing rapidly, and Blackjack never expected that Cheng Fei, who had already flown into the air, would shrink his abdomen and waist at the moment he waved his hand, just like the pull-up layup that day, and skillfully avoided the fatal blow! It's just that when Cheng Fei swayed in the air today, his movements were more free, and his posture was like walking in the air, without any effort.
Cheng Fei changed the ball to his left hand, and in the long flying process, he gently picked it up, and the basketball floated up and fell straight into the net.
Blackjack had a strange feeling. With the height and distance of the jump just now, Cheng Fei seems to be able to dunk even if he changes hands in the air. But he chose to go to the basket, which is also in line with his usual gentle 'sex' personality.
Black Jack didn't say anything, he glanced at Cheng Fei meaningfully, walked straight to the sidelines, picked up the black 'colored' suit, and walked out without looking back. Most people know this: it seems that Blackjack has given up, and the third person who has been in the debate for a long time has finally been replaced by a new teammate.
Cheng Fei looked at Black Jack's back in a daze, feeling stunned.
***************
DeBoer High School in the suburbs of New York.
At the end of school, Bruce always felt that someone was following him, but every time he looked back, there was not even a ghost. He shook his head and slapped his basketball as he walked along his way home. Old friend Cheng Fei is getting busier and busier, and now he can't see him all day, which makes Bruce, who has no friends, feel very lonely.
As he walked to a street corner, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Bruce was startled, turned around, and raised his head again, it turned out to be James in a suit and leather shoes? Livingston! This can make Bruce 'confused', surprised and delighted. It was quite lucky to meet this legend of street basketball; But what did he do when he found himself? The thought that flashed through the moment made Bruston nervous.
"Are you Cheng's friend?" Blackjack asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Bruce replied resignedly.
"I heard that Cheng has the best relationship with you, so I came to look for you," Blackjack said, "Cheng Fei is in trouble now, are you willing to help?" Maybe only you can help. β
"Huh?" Bruce was taken aback, "Trouble? What happened to him? Car accidents? β
"No," Blackjack smiled wryly, "it's worse than a car accident, and I'm afraid it will ruin his life." β
Bruce's head was about to explode, and he almost grabbed Black Jack's collar, "Don't sell it!" Tell me, what the hell is wrong with my brother? I'm willing to do anything for him! β
"He's on a 'drug' called Kalimdor," said Blackjack word for word, "I mean, he's on drugs." β
