Chapter 51: Unfortunate Luke
"I heard that Luke hosted six NBA scouts in the last few months."
"He thinks he's in the NBA, and he's throwing a brotherhood party for it."
"I heard that I ended up stepping on a pool of red wine and broke my wrists and knees, which is really unlucky."
"What about the scouts?"
"A rookie who has no self-control and injures himself, do you think NBA scouts will still pay attention?"
The chatter of others has been buzzing in Luke's ears for more than a month, like a fly.
Of course, Luke knew that he had only suffered a minor injury, but he didn't expect the scouts to be so cold-blooded.
"Want to come to the NBA? Go to the Black Mamba basketball game and win the MVP, and when I come back, I might be able to say a few nice words to the managers. ”
The last scout's words put Luke on the pitch.
It's not so much that he wants to go to the NBA, but that he wants to show off his muscles with those dog-eyed scouts.
"I'm not one of those fools, you'll regret losing me."
Luke swore in his heart.
With a whistle, he was already standing in a three-on-three arena.
Since he had no intention of entering college, Luke even turned down many invitations from basketball elite schools, and in the end, only his hometown university wanted him.
His teammates are also two new friends made at Davidson College, and that's it.
Luke is incredibly confident in his personal abilities.
Although he can't play the full five positions, as a strong small forward with a height of 206, as long as he maintains his offensive firepower, this kind of amateur tournament can still be easily won.
Of course, this is just the result of his own not-so-smart brain, and he clearly ignores the appeal of the Black Mamba basketball game.
Encountering 5 or 6 five-star high school basketball students at the same time is not something that can be seen in other competitions.
Nervous, restless, and afraid of being slapped in the face again, as this place is also where scouts like to gather.
Zhang Yi's appearance happened to be a breakthrough for Luke to vent.
By suppressing this not-so-looking Oriental face, Luke gained attention while reducing the risk of being slapped in the face.
Luke didn't resentful Zhang Yi as much as he seemed on the surface.
On the contrary, his subconscious was thanking Zhang Yi, because as long as he stepped on him to advance, his name could be an instant hit.
The game is a normal three-on-three rule.
The referee asked Zhang Yi and Luke to come over and guess the edge, and finally the former attacked first.
"If you bring seeds, you can attack them directly!" Luke said defiantly in his ear.
The whistle blows and the game begins.
Zhang Yi suddenly changed his relaxed expression, and his eyes were fixed on Luke, a big man who was more than ten centimeters taller than himself.
"I don't know if you can keep up with me."
As soon as the words fell, I saw the basketball in Zhang Yi's hand quickly crossing, and it exploded at an astonishing rate, which made Luke dizzy for a while.
Luke's arm span is an astonishing 210, and his hands are as big as bear's paws.
Scouts' interest in him is also largely focused on his defensive potential, and they see Luke as a white version of Kawai Leonard.
Zhang Yi immediately noticed the defensive pressure that Luke brought him.
But this is one-on-one, the other two do not assist in defense, Zhang Yi has space and offensive means to score.
"Yellow boy, attack it! Or are you too scared to come near me? Luke trash talking.
It's time for him to shut up, Zhang Yi thought in his heart.
"Left-back-left!"
Hearing the three words that suddenly popped out of the opponent's mouth, Luke was stunned, this guy is playing a game when this game is played?
But when his thoughts were still entangled in why, Zhang Yi changed direction and crossed steps in front of his body and broke through Luke's left hand.
Left!
Luke quickly returned to the defense, sticking to Zhang Yi's weak side, and his huge arms and palms made up for some of his lack of defensive awareness.
Zhang Yi's figure suddenly stopped, the basketball changed from his crotch to his right hand, and he took small steps backwards.
Luke was taken several steps by the flick.
After!
Luke's center of gravity quickly shifted from back to front, his body was lowered as soon as possible, and he went straight to the basketball in Zhang Yi's hand with a big wave.
can follow the defense to such a point, Zhang Yi also expressed his recognition of Luke's defensive potential in his heart.
However, when Zhang Yi's body swayed from side to side, his left hand sucked the basketball over as if there was a magnetic force.
Luke's consciousness wanted to defend the left side, but he couldn't take back his steps......
In a few breaths, the basketball landed on Luke's left hand, and he felt like he was on the edge of the sky when he was so close.
Because Luke had lost his center of gravity, he gritted his teeth and twisted one arm to make a final struggle, but Zhang Yi rushed into the penalty area like a lightning bolt.
Left!
Luke holds the ground with one hand, Zhang Yi slams the dunk with one arm!
"Ox X! The offense is wonderful, and the defense is also good... This Oriental boy seems to be very promising..."
The emotions of the audience were instantly ignited by one attack and one defense, and the cheers were so loud that they even attracted the attention of the players on the next few courts.
"Damn! Who the hell are you? ”
Luke staggered to his feet, grabbed Zhang Yi's collar and asked angrily.
At this time, the referee ran over, but Zhang Yi signaled, it doesn't matter.
"Zhang Yi!"
"Yi? Haven't heard of it, where did you play before? ”
"Grand Duchy!"
"What kind of bullshit place is that, Grand Duchy? I've never had anyone who could play basketball. ”
After this sentence, Zhang Yi's face suddenly became gloomy, "Don't know Wang Long?" ”
Luke was stunned, of course he knew the legend of the Oriental Basketball Emperor Wang Long, but did this kid have anything to do with Wang Long?
Zhang Yi grabbed Luke's giant palm at once, and the huge grip made the latter cry out in pain and immediately send his hand.
"There are at least a thousand players of my level, there are at least a thousand in the Grand Duchy!"
Luke shouted in disbelief when he heard this, "Impossible! You're kidding! ”
"Otherwise, why do you think I flew all the way to bully you Americans......
Zhang Yi's cold words reached Luke's ears, and in an instant, he imagined a thousand scenes of Zhang Yi standing in front of him.
"Ah...... It hurts, let go! Luke's eyes were red.
Although the injury on his wrist had healed, being pinched by Zhang Yi like this, the fear of injury in his heart was ignited again.
"Yi!" At this time, Vali and Robert stepped forward and patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder.
"Remember, you can't afford to mess with the men of the Grand Duchy!" Zhang Yi let go of his hand after saying with angry eyes.
I saw him go to the basket, pick up a bottle of water, and pour the toppings.
For Zhang Yi, it's okay for the opponent to insult him casually, but it's not okay to despise Uncle Long!
Luke kept scolding Zhang Yi in his heart, this monster, in his eyes, this man was dangerous and couldn't get close......
"The game continues!" The referee's whistle blows again.
It was Luke's turn to attack, but he had completely lost the desire to attack, Zhang Yi was still one step away from him, and Luke raised his hand and threw three points.
Bang Dang! Striking iron.
The crowd erupted in boos, because even they could see that Luke was too soft to attack.
"If you don't want to fight, how about abstaining?"
Zhang Yi whispered in his ear.
It sounded like a threat in Luke's mind, and he nodded in horror, "I surrender, I admit defeat!" ”
Before the referee could even confirm it, Luke had already picked up his jacket and left the field.
His teammates looked at each other, thinking that the five-star high school student would be the thickest thigh here, but he didn't expect it to be so cowardly.
Vali and Robert looked at each other in surprise, winning so easily?
They excitedly pounced behind Zhang Yi and rubbed his hair vigorously, "Awesome!" Resolute! ”
"Keep up this rhythm and we'll win until the end!"
Zhang Yi just smiled, he knew in his heart that winning this game was not a pleasure at all.
At the same time, on the very edge of the court, there was also a team that won early, because the opponent's main attacker, 'Little Gunners' Grant, conceded defeat without scoring a goal......
