Chapter 65: Civilian Scorer
After the first round of the Sacheng Streetball Tournament, 8 teams have been born to advance to the next round, namely Team 16, Team 2, Team 3, Team 4, Team 12, Team 6, Team 10 and Cory. Brewer and O.J. Mayo's No. 9 team.
The next round is played against Team 16 against Team 2, Team 3 against Team 4, Team 12 against Team 6, and Team 10 against Team 9.
"Tyrek, how does it feel to be in an amateur tournament like this?" Peterson watches Terrick doing bench press in the gym.
Tyrek didn't play today, so he still didn't miss any time to train.
"It's not bad, the level of the players is still okay, Jonathan in my team. Payne impressed me the most, his dribbling skills are really good, the ball feeling is quite good, but his physical condition limits him. However, I personally feel that the highest level on the team is probably Dwight of the California State University Sacramento basketball team. Magnusson, who plays as a point guard in the collegiate team, has good physical fitness, good skills, and his overall conditions can be regarded as the top level among ordinary people...... But I have to admit that even Dwight. Carlsen is still far from the NBA...... "Tyrek said as he bench pressed.
Peterson took a bottle of water and put it next to Tyrek and said with a smile, "How many people are on the national college basketball team?" How many people make it to the NBA every year? How can the hundreds of strongest players in basketball in the world be compared to the members of an ordinary college team? But...... Tyreco, do you know who scored the most individual in this round? ”
"Brewer scored 33 points, Mayo scored 45 points, I scored 47 points, is it not me?"
Peterson smiled and shook his head, and said in a playful tone: "You only scored 47 points, but others scored 64 points!" ”
Tyrek paused, straightened up and looked at Peterson's look, "Yo, Lamont, tell me, who's so slippery?" ”
Peterson took out his phone and handed it to Terek, "See for yourself, the local news is all covered......"
Tyrek took his phone and saw the title displayed on the screen, "Sa City Streetball Competition, scoring more than NBA All-Stars, Ben. Who is Leto? ”
"Ben. Leto? Tyrek muttered.
Tyrek wanted to continue watching, but Peterson couldn't wait to take the initiative to introduce, "Ben. Leto, 27 years old, 1.81 meters tall, was on the No. 16 team in this competition, and was once an ace player at Verdhill High School of Science and Technology in middle school, but then he was gradually eliminated because of his physical condition, and finally he did not choose the path of basketball and became a construction engineer. ”
Peterson sat down next to Tyrek and continued with an excited expression, "Tyrek, let me tell you, I happened to be watching that game live, Ben. Leto does have a few brushes, although he is not tall and thin, but his offensive ability to play is really strong, and his movements are not fancy, but they are practical enough and his basic skills are also very solid. The intensity of this amateur game is not large, and he is indeed easy to shoot inside and outside, how to shoot, how to shoot, it can be said to dominate the whole field, judging from the scene of that game, it is not worse than your performance! ”
"Oh?" Tyrek looked at Peterson with interest, "I'm looking forward to trying his hand at what you say, but he'll have to make it past the next round......"
Although scoring 64 points does illustrate this. Leto has a good level of basketball, but playing high scores in this kind of amateur game doesn't mean how strong he is. Terrick was intrigued, but didn't pay much attention to it.
In the second round of the Sacheng Street Ball Competition, Tyrek once again led the No. 3 team to a 40-point advantage over the opponent, and Tyrek easily scored 52 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game.
Corey. Brewer and O.J. Mayo's No. 9 team also advanced to the next round 102-51 without suspense, Mayo also scored more than 50 points, scoring 54 points in the game, and Brewer contributed 30 points and scored a shocking 17 steals.
Of course, the most exciting thing is not the two games with NBA stars, but the battle between No. 16 and No. 2.
In this game, Ben scored 64 points in the last game. Leto was once again a superstar, scoring 68 points. The two teams played hard and did not decide the winner until the final minute of the game. In the last 2 minutes, Ben. Leto's No. 16 team is still five points behind. Leto dominated the game in the decisive moment, with two consecutive ultra-long-range three-pointers plus a three-pointer one step beyond the three-point line, and three fatal three-pointers to take the game away!
He averaged 66 points per game in the two games, and relied on his personal strength to decide the outcome of the game in the second game. Leto became the talk of the town in Sacramento at this time.
Tyrek, Corey. NBA stars like Brewer and O.J. Mayo are playing explosive stats in amateur games, and people sigh and get used to the stimulated nerves, after all, they are NBA stars.
But Ben. Leto is different, a young basketball boy, now has his own career, back on the basketball court to bloom his brilliance again, like a lonely knight, regaining the blade, rampage, invincible.
In the next round, Ben. Leto is about to face All-Star Terrick. Evans, people love to watch the rise of the little guys, and the drama on the following grams is worth looking forward to, although Terrick is the star of the city of Sacramento, but at this time people are looking forward to Ben. Leto's counterattack.
The local media outlets in Sacramento have started to build momentum for this game. Leto is portrayed as a hero who challenges the impossible, awakening the resonance and yearning in people's hearts. The battle between the civilian hero and the symbol of the city became the talk of the town, and everyone was looking forward to the start of the game.
"Tyreck, how's it going, people want to see Ben. Leto staged a miracle, and the following gram is on it! Peterson laughed and said he was looking forward to the fight. Leto did beat Tyrek, and that's really big news.
Tyrek glanced at Peterson, "Ben. Leto, although he scored two high points in a row, but it still doesn't mean anything, maybe his strength is indeed slightly higher than his opponent, but the last game their team played so tangled, it is enough to show that his strength is definitely not too much beyond his opponent. To Dwight. If Magnus has enough shots and good hands, I'm sure he can do the same. As for this. We'll find out tomorrow what level Leto is......"
Peterson pouted and said, "Tyrek, don't be counterattacked by the small characters at that time, that's really interesting......"
