"Ignore them, the entertainment version is the most in the world. When you're doing well, they're the next Daniel, you're the next Bird, and when you're doing bad, they're putting all the problems on your head, and you're going to collaborate and pitch yourself to your goal. Whichever way the wind blows, where they fall the ball. It's so boring, ignore them. ”

"I don't care about yours, but I'm worried that the mentality of the competitors will change."

"Well, yours also has a point. But it should be okay, I think the mentality of the current competitors is not very impetuous. Don't think about that, and focus on the wind dragon at night. ”

The Water House Center Arena is located on the west side of the outer perimeter of the basketball organization's downtown area, adjacent to two highways, and the transportation is very convenient. Amway Arena is surrounded by a number of hotels, as well as other commercial office buildings and government justice departments, and its west side is mostly private housing. Because it was put into use, compared to other stadiums built later, the water house center is not too large and not very beautiful. But the environment of the stadium is very good, there is a lake a few hundred meters in front of the stadium, and there are wild ducks and egrets inhabiting the lake.

At night, night falls early, and the basketball suburb is already covered in darkness, but the city center is still brightly lit. The night view of the Water House Center is not beautiful, not as deep as sapphire lights as the Jackson Square Garden Arena, nor like the downtown of Staples Center, nor as luxurious as the American Airlines Center in the Wind Country.

But now the center of the water house is full of people, and they are pouring into the center of the water house in groups of three or five, ready to watch the demon god competition against the wind dragon.

The Storm Dragons and the Aeolian can be a civil war in a sense. First of all, the wind dragon and the demon god both belong to the southeast division, and secondly, the English of the Washington wind dragon is izards, which also means wizard, so the wind dragon team was once also translated as the Washington wizard team. If we look closely, the Wind Dragon's logo is actually a white-bearded old man like Dumbledore, holding a basketball in one hand and performing magic in the other.

Demon God vs. Sorcerer, the standard Western fantasy model.

The Summer Dragons have just made a big change, trading Jerry Peck, Christian Leitner, for last season's sixth man Antoine Jamilin. Pai's departure represents the official start of the Wind Dragon's cleansing of the impact of His Majesty's unsuccessful comeback.

In the locker room of the athletic hall, Ouyang Gaoyuan stood in front of the skill board and explained the skills to the competitors.

"I don't want to dwell on how important this is, I'm just going to do it. Storm Dragons belong to the same division as us, and they will be our main opponents for a place in the finals. The Monsoon Dragons are very strong in this game, they have the most reasonable outside combination of competitive organization, Arenas is good at pitching, and Hughes is good at breaking, and the two complement each other's abilities. The forward was last season's sixth man, Jamilin, and he is also a man who can play inside and out. So there's going to be a lot of pressure at the back. Compared to the outside, their two interior players are average, but their defensive skills are solid. But their main lineup is very perfect, the attack and defense are balanced, so this one will be very tough, everyone has to be mentally prepared. Ouyang Gaoyuan was doing the final explanation here, and from time to time he slapped the skill board with his hand "bang".

Pang Long and Booker sat side by side below, the two of them looked at each other, and a voice came to mind at the same time, "But, but what? ”

After the last few games, the two of them have summed up Ouyang Gaoyuan's characteristics, and every time they finally arrange their skills, they first put the opponent on how they are, it's just bad, "Brothers, it's not hard, just mean it, we can't win." After praising the opponent, he will immediately make a big change, and then directly point out where the opponent's weak point is, and then teach everyone how to explode his chrysanthemum.

Sure enough, Ouyang Gaoyuan also began to "but" this time.

"However, there is no perfect competitive organization in this world, and the Wind Dragon advantage has a fatal flaw. First: Their benches are very poor, and none of them can be relied upon, either offensively or defensively. So now we're probably going to have a change of minutes and you're going to have a little more time to play with the bench. Second: Larry Hughes. Larry Hughes is very capable of attacking, especially his breakthrough is very sharp. But he's very poor in shooting, so as long as we keep him away from the basket, he's going to be a lot of threat. If we can limit Hughes's scoring to just one point, then the Wind Dragons' offense will create a big gap. On this basis, as long as we score normally, victory is within reach. Zhou Er, Tony, this is the responsibility of the two of you tonight. ”

After listening to Ouyang Gaoyuan's explanation, the demon gods got up one after another, and after cheering in a group, they entered the contestant channel.

Under the guidance of the players who created the momentum of the competition, the competitors appeared one after another, and the basketball lovers gave the home team a heroic welcome.

As the referee tosses the orange ball over the roof, it officially begins.

The starters of the Fengshen team are still five old acquaintances. The Wind Dragons are point guard "General" Arenas, scoring guard Larry Hughes, forward is "no three" Jamilin, power forward Ja Jeffries, and fighter Haywood.

……………………

"The first quarter has already been played and the current score is -, the points we are behind. Arenas, Jamillin, and Larry Hughes defended the Winddragon's perimeter like a rope, completely cutting off Steve from the rest of the competition. In the past, Booker was invincible in blocking and dismantling, but now it has not been played, Arenas is very posted, and the effect of blocking and dismantling is very unsatisfactory. Baker must find a way to solve it quickly, or this situation will be dangerous. ”

Ouyang Gaoyuan held his chin and frowned at the situation on the field, it is true that the athletic organization played very badly today, and he underestimated the defensive ability of the wind dragon, especially he didn't expect Arenas to defend so well today.

There are two paranoids in the athletic organization here, one is and the other is Arenas, who are extremely competitive and always strive for perfection. He cried when he was drafted by the Warriors in the second round. He didn't think he was in the position he should be in, so he sent the strongest response: "I'm going to make everyone who despises me regret it, and I'm going to be the one to help the athletic organization win." ”

So he began to ascend like crazy, and his ascension could even be masochistic. When he was in the Demon God, he would come to the arena at midnight to improve. After becoming famous, he did not slack off, and he spent a lot of money to build a hypoxic lifting chamber at home to simulate high-altitude ascension to improve his endurance, especially in the later stages. He also ordered the same low-oxygen tent so that he could take it with him when he went to the away game. He found a person to improve his physical fitness in the summer meeting - not an ordinary sports booster, but a soldier - and the lifting content included some military training items such as weight-bearing mountaineering and weightlifting. Of course, his promotion also laid the groundwork for his later life.

So I don't understand why the name of Arenas appears on many lists of wasteful fu now. But in fact, he really didn't waste a trace of his talent, he has already exerted his talent to the extreme through hard work.

A media member once asked Arenas, "Who do you hate the most in the athletic organization?" His reply was, "Fellow Jeffrey." Everyone thought he was giving the answer for competitive reasons, but his explanation was jaw-dropping, "They have the extreme physical conditions that I desire, but they don't improve well and waste their endowment." ”

His later decline was more because of the destruction of the "gun door", which only showed that his character was immature and had nothing to do with his competitive attitude.

Arenas' defense is actually very good, and his basic skills are very solid, but because he usually needs to put more energy on the offensive end, and he doesn't care too much about his performance on defense, so it seems that his defense is not good, which is very similar to Jaco. But once he gets serious, like in the fourth quarter, it's a nightmare for opposing point guards.

But now I don't know how Eddie Daniel, the main commander of the wind dragon, mobilized his enthusiasm, as soon as he came up, he was very tightly guarded, plus Hughes and Jamilin, who came to help defend from time to time, it was very frozen. The three of them are like two pincers centered on Arenas. No matter which way he rushed, he would be firmly squeezed in the middle, unable to move.

"-- joint defense, and very aggressive, very ferocious." Rollsleke came to Ouyang Gaoyuan's side and analyzed.

Ouyang Gaoyuan listened to the odds and looked at Fenglong's bench. Eddie Daniel, the main commander of the Wind Dragon, was also standing and walking around, although the competitive organization was ahead, his dark face was still full of anxiety.

"It seems that the other side has done a lot of homework, and he came prepared, but it is a bit too real to want to get me with a joint defense."

So Ouyang Gaoyuan turned around and called the demon god, the demon god was replaced, and Booker was gone.

According to the current propaganda, in this world, "except that there is no perfection", ,-- same is true of joint defense. Although it is very good at guarding the outside line, and there are no obvious holes in the low post, there is a lot of room in the high and two bottom corners.

But the void in the bottom corner, the wind dragon erased a lot with the speed and agility of Jamilin and Hughes, but the vacancy in the high position still exists.

After Booker got off the court, Ouyang Gaoyuan did not let him sit down to rest, but let him stand beside him and watch the changes on the court.

Dribbling the ball to the top of the arc, Arenas defended and moved to the right, Hughes quickly came to wrap the ball and passed the ball to the demon god standing in the high position, and the demon god shot directly and got it.

In the next round, the demon god attacked, and then he still gave the ball to the demon god, but this time Jeffries followed up with the high post to defend and did not give him space to pitch. But this time the demon god changed his skills, and the ball did not pause in his hand, and passed directly to the phosphorus horn. To the Demon God, the process of the Demon God is like a two-by-one in football, and Hughes is played.

"Three points, unfortunately I didn't score, but Pang Long grabbed the rebound, and the demon god reorganized the offense."

Booker looked at the two attacks of the Demon God and seemed to understand something, "Commander, what do you mean by this for me to make a high-level strategy, just like Boris is now?" ”

Ouyang Gaoyuan looked at Booker and shook his head, "It seems that you haven't fully understood it, so it's okay, this time it will make you understand better." So he rushed to the field and saw a trick code.

After hearing this, this time he rushed to the left instead, and then passed the ball to Pang Long in the high position. After Pang Long received the ball in the high post, Heywood did not follow up to defend, still guarding the low post and letting Pang Long throw. But Pang Long didn't dare to throw, and quickly sent the ball to the hands of Phosphorus Corner.

But when he dared to raise his hand, Heywood pounced from a low position and had to stop, only to be caught by Heywood and Jamilin, who rushed from the flank. After reluctantly re-passing the ball, it looked like it was going to run out of time, so he could only force himself to shoot three points against Arenas' defense, and the result was self-evident.

"Why is this happening?" Booker was puzzled.

"Do you think Dwight or Boris is the big threat in the high post?" Ouyang Gaoyuan did not answer Booker directly, but asked a question instead.

"Boris, of course."

"Why?"

"Because Boris can pitch straight at that position, and Dwight ...... I understand what you mean, the commander, because Boris has the ability to shoot in the middle, so the opponent doesn't dare to let him go, so he can only let the inside line come up to defend, so he can't defend the bottom corner. And if you don't have the ability to shoot, the opponent's inside line can ignore you, and if you pass the bottom corner, you can directly wrap the track"

Ouyang Gao nodded from afar, with a teachable look, "That's right, you remember Booker, whether you have the ability to shoot can improve a level of the inside line, if you can pitch in the horn position, it will cause great trouble to the opponent's defense." ”

Ouyang Gaoyuan didn't say much, but Booker heard the subtext in Ouyang Gaoyuan's words, and nodded secretly.

After the demon god came on the court, as he found his touch, he scored three points in a row to pull the score.

By the end of the first quarter,-, Demon God was behind by a few points.

Eddie Daniel, the chief commander of the wind dragon, did work hard to study the skills of the demon god before this game, and his joint defense did produce very good results at the beginning, but he didn't expect Ouyang Gaoyuan to adjust so quickly, and the role of the demon god after he came on the field could be so great, and he disrupted his original plan at once.

But at this time, Eddie didn't care very much, after all, the demon god is the organizer of the demon god's substitute lineup, without his threading needle, the demon god's substitute is like a tank without a driver, although it is still extremely powerful and lethal, but it is not so deadly.

But unexpectedly, Ouyang Gaoyuan quickly played the second card.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Ouyang Gaoyuan replaced him and sent John Johnny to play point guard. In high school, he used to be very short, although he was later promoted because of his height, but playing point guard again is easy for him.

Eddie was a little confused, let him play point guard, he can't play the kind of blocking effect. This is how the demon god is going to attack.

The answer was quickly revealed on the field, holding the ball, Pang Long came to cover, and the demon god was pulled outside to respond.

At this time, the inner line of the wind dragon is worried, whether you follow out to defend the demon god, if you follow out, your inner line space will be vacated. Although there is no such wonderful passing, it is still easy to score with Pang Long on the inside line that can be guarded by one person. If you don't go out, pass it to the Demon God and let him pitch outside.

There is nothing Eddie Daniel can do about this, this is a conspiracy. Having a power forward who can pull beyond the threes and a super athletic fighter is a crushing disruption to the opponent's interior defense, and you simply won't find a solution.

In fact, Ouyang Gaoyuan very much wanted to put the Demon God in the starter, but the current staffing did not allow him to do so. The Demon God now has no second competitor on the bench who can organize the attack except for the Demon God, and Ouyang Gaoyuan wants to train Booker, so he has to put the Demon God in the bench lineup.

Although Eddie Daniel couldn't limit the Demon God's attack, the Wind Dragon still relied on the individual abilities of Arenas, Larry Hughes, and Jamilin to constantly pressure the Demon God and maintain the lead.

But you can't let the main force play, the wind dragon gradually began to rotate, Hughes and Jamilin waited for the game, and Arenas played with the bench.

Wang Zhou played. In fact, in all fairness, Wang Zhou is really not a champion-level competitor, but he is not. Without the title of champion, he would be a strengthened version of Perkins, who has contributed little on the offensive end but can be trusted on the defensive end. It's a pity that he was positioned in the wrong role at the wrong time.

Ouyang Gaoyuan took the opportunity to re-replace with Booker. The Demon God is now Valejo, Booker, Tauer, and the Demon God.

Without the assistance of Hughes and Jamilin, Arenas couldn't be blocked alone, so the most common inside double cut of the Demon God appeared. When the inner line is opened, the wind dragon will subconsciously shrink inward, and the space of the outer line will be exposed, and the opportunity for the demon god to perform will be there.

At the end of the second quarter, Daedric successfully overtook the score.

The third quarter was still more time for bench performance, but on the Wind Dragon's side, Arenas, Jamilin and Hughes took turns to play with the bench.

And Ouyang Gaoyuan's idea is very simple, in the case of normal rotation, he will stare at Hughes. As soon as Hughes is on the court, it is either John Johnny or Joni, who will immediately be sent on the field and not let him break through.

And for Hughes, the breakthrough is equivalent to "a monk's bowl, a chef's pot", which is a thing for eating. Hughes, who can't break into the basket, is like a toothless tiger, a dragon with broken claws, and a third young man who writes romances, and basically loses his threat.

That is, Jamilin and Arenas are as reliable as ever, while Jarvis Hayes and Juan Dicklin are in good hands today, scoring frequently from the outside, and the two joined forces to contribute points in the two quarters, helping the Wind Dragon bite the score tightly.

Facing the excellent performance of these two substitutes, Ouyang Gaoyuan was quite speechless. I planned it very well, but now I have a halfway way to bite the gold. Ouyang Gaoyuan is also very helpless in this regard, every competitive organization has an X factor, you don't know when he will come out to make trouble, and it is very unstable, whether he can catch up with pure character.

When it comes to the first quarter, the demon god -, leads by one point.

"Don't think we're ahead, remember we don't have any advantage right now. The Wind Dragons are the best fourth-quarter athletic organization, and they could overtake us at any time, so we can't be a little slack, do you hear that? ”

………………

"Now the score is -, the demon god is four points ahead, and the cherry blossom is still close to the end"

Arenas, slowly dribbling towards the Demon God's half. The audience shouted, "Defense, defense." Although he knew that this was the audience cheering for the competitors in the arena, not cheering for himself, Arenas still felt extremely excited.

Outside the three-point line, the defense he was facing suddenly accelerated, and he quickly half-turned and ran back, but Arenas jumped up and hit a three-point shot, and the demon god only led by points.

In both seasons, Arenas was the best fourth-quarter player in the athletic organization, if not better. As long as it is an offensive means that ends with a jump shot, he is proficient in everything, and he also has the fastest and most unpredictable dribble emergency stop jump shot in the competitive organization, with realistic feints, fast bounce speed, high shots and extremely supple.

Everyone knows that Arenas is a great pull-up jumper, and all defenders will have their hearts in their hearts, but you just can't prevent it. Generally, people have signs before making an emergency stop, at least they will change their pace, so that they can make their body more stable after jumping. But Arenas doesn't, his waist and abdomen are too strong, and he can completely find his balance after his body is in the air, so the timing of his jump is very sudden, and he doesn't need to adjust his step point in advance. Therefore, it is difficult for the defender to predict his skills, which are completely practiced by countless times, and there is no shortcut.

And he also has a big heart, and the more tense and critical moments he gets, the more excited he gets, and the hotter his hand feels. The three-point shot turned around to celebrate not by acting skills, let alone pretending to be B, but by a kind of extreme gambling self-confidence, confidence in one's own skills.

This is also the reason why the fourth quarter of the Wind Dragon is terrible, anyone who is made by Areas to make a drifting shot from the three-point line twice will not be able to raise the momentum, without momentum, there is no longer an indomitable confidence, in this case, how can you win.

But fortunately, the demon gods are also a bunch of light people who do not admit defeat, and they are not impressed by the godly performance of Arenas, but burst out with more passion and desire for victory.

"Arenas is here again, it's three points, it's in. John Johnny couldn't do anything about him,-, there were only the last seconds left to see how the demon god attacked in the end. Will you still give the last shot as if you played yesterday? We'll see. ”

"The demon god sent the ball, rushed into the penalty area, and threw it. If he didn't enter, Pang Long made up for the ,-, Demon God to take the lead again. Pang Long has made meritorious contributions, Pang Long has made meritorious contributions! Don't give the Dragons any chance. Great warriors! He carried on the glorious tradition of the warriors of the athletic organization. McCann, Chamberlain, Torjia, soul possession at this moment! Pang Long is alone, he represents the long history and tradition of the warriors of the competitive organization, at this moment he is not fighting alone, he is not alone! There are seconds left, and the wind dragon is not paused, it can already be over. ”

"Heywood sent the ball, Arenas took it, threw it towards the Daedric's half, crooked, no way, too far away. Congratulations to the Demon God Athletic for its victory and the winning streak of the new season. After this game, the Demon God completed the opening streak of victories, and with the four-game winning streak, the Tyrannosaurus Feiyun became the only three undefeated competitive organizations in the new season of the competitive organization.

However, in the second game, he lost to the Tornado team at the Athletic Center. Moyun Yicong made a big splash in the game, scoring the most points in the new season, including a solo score in the fourth quarter and a three-point shot.

, the Demon God is a guest at Staples Arena and challenges the team.

Although Wang Mei is gone, in this affordable replacement, he also got two strong generals, Brother Tian and John, which is not a special loss, and it can be seen from the lineup.

The conductor is too, although the "mage" has also left, the current chief commander is the former chief commander Giano Demon God, Rudy has rich coaching experience, and his skill style requires a balance between offense and defense in the competitive organization, which is very compatible with the current team's staffing. So according to the original media's prediction, although it is no longer the favorite to win the championship, it is still no problem to reach the final.

But what no one expected was that the loss in the finals of the last season would have such a big impact on the competitive organization, and the blow of this long-awaited defeat was devastating. Although the top management of the athletic organization carried out a major change in the summer in order to reduce the impact, the fighting spirit of the athletic organization still could not be raised. At the start of the season, he lost to Tornado, Tyrannosaurus Flying Cloud, Night Cat, and Demon Cloud, and only won to Utah, a fellow worker.
