Chapter 111: Gliding Failure
After all, it was a whim, and the first time he had no experience, the distance of the first two steps was not grasped well, and the second step was still 4 feet away from the free throw line with his left foot, but there was no turning back from the bow, and now Hoggist could only overlord the bow.
With a twelve-point of strength, Haugist leaped to the basket. He grabbed the basketball with one hand in his right hand, and the whole person stretched to the limit. As he got closer to the basket, Hoggist was so excited that he was about to complete a free throw line dunk!
The audience was still holding their breath, waiting together to witness this great moment. But Hoggist is not LaVine, not Carter, not Jordan, not even James. White, who was already very close to the basket, flew a little further, maybe just 3 inches, or 2 inches, and Haugist could dunk the ball in, but Haugist's body was already falling.
"Nope! Just a little bit further, let me go a little further! Let me dunk this damn ball in! Hougist yelled in his heart.
Unfortunately, Haugist, who has no faith, prayed to the Buddha Jade Emperor God Jesus Allah, but did not receive any response from the great gods, and is still falling.
Seeing that he couldn't reach the basket, Hougist turned his right hand into a pick, flipped his wrist, and his fingers flicked nimbly, picking the ball into the basket.
"Woo~" The audience sighed regretfully in unison.
Hoggist landed and stabilized his figure, and sighed secretly: "It's a pity, it's just a little bit!" If I can step on the free throw line, I can dunk it! Really, it really came to the critical moment, the Buddha Jade Emperor God Allah did not have a person in charge, but fortunately I usually don't believe them! ”
"Did you see that? He really wanted to dunk at the free throw line! A high school student actually wants to dunk at the free throw line in actual combat! ”
"I think if he hadn't adjusted his steps well and jumped a little bit off the free-throw line, he might have dunked the ball! It's really just a little bit off! ”
The audience was still immersed in the failure of Haugist's dunk just now, and they all felt sorry for Hoggist. The Cavaliers were helpless in the face of Hougist's dominance on both offensive and defensive ends during this time, and had to ask for a timeout.
"The Cavaliers should be back to playing Bennett next, so keep an eye on continuing their previous defensive strategy." Coach Sifor reminded.
"Coach, don't worry! Their tactical strategy has proven to be useless before. Even if I let him play under the basket casually, he Bennett's scoring efficiency can still play S. Is Curry taller? Thomas said confidently.
"Then you can't let him play under the basket!" Dedmon accused.
Thomas hurriedly explained: "I'm just a metaphor, I won't really let him go, don't worry!" ”
"You have to pay attention to their inside and outside tandem, I don't want to see a second Seth again. Curry's explosive play, keep the current lead, win the game! Coach Sifar concluded.
It's not for nothing that Coach Sifu has been an assistant coach for so many years and is still just an assistant coach. His tactical reserves are sufficient, but the on-the-spot strain is very immature. At his current level, it's hard to predict the change of his opponent as accurately as Popovich. At the end of the timeout, the Cavaliers came by surprise to coach Sifol.
The Cavaliers replaced Simms for Alonzo. Kee fielded four three-point shooters to switch Bennett to center. Although the interior height suffers, three-point shots are generally long rebounds, and outside shooters have many opportunities to grab frontcourt rebounds. Defensively, relying on the flexibility of a small lineup can also make up for the lack of height.
The Cavaliers attacked the frontcourt, Bennett held the ball at the top of the arc, and the other four were like flexible swimming fish swimming in the three-point line, constantly running in the figure 8 position, although the Spurs outside players were not bad in speed and could keep up with their goals, but under the intentional guidance of the Cavaliers' flexible and changeable running positions, the Spurs players always blocked each other, and the defensive position was completely disrupted by their own people, and soon the Spurs' defensive formation was dragged down.
Hogist watched Seth. Curry and Sergei passed by, and he finally bypassed Sergei and ran into the German who was defending Sergei. Kolo. Seth. Curry easily ran out of the open space, caught the ball, reopened, and hit a life-saving three-pointer.
After only one round of play, Coach Sifar was forced to apply for a timeout, he didn't expect the Cavaliers' change of formation to be so sharp, and the Spurs who played in only one round were embarrassed. He could only waste this pause to see the move. Now it's his turn to play his cards, but how can he restrain this small lineup?
Coach Sifuer's first thought was to also play a small lineup to deal with it. However, the opponent's complex movement on the offensive end cannot be solved by the same small one. One person uses other teammates to cover the running position and defend, but three or four people run at the same time, and if you still use the man-to-man defense, it will be very chaotic on the field.
"Is the summer league going to force me to use this kind of advanced tactics?" Coach Sifol said through gritted teeth.
"Coach, you're out of shape!" Hogist reminded.
"It's okay, that's just a necessary emotional vent. Next, we adopt a mixed defense, Dedmon you protect the frame under the basket, Bennett can be released on the outside, and the other four are still mark-to-man defense on their outside, but to strengthen the rotation position, if blocked, you must resolutely change the defense, Thomas comes down to rest, Joseph you go up to defend Alonzo. Base. Hoggist you continue to follow the defense Seth. Curry, if you can keep up, you don't need to change defenses, you can't give three points, and don't let them shoot easily under the basket, forcing them to shoot mid-range! ”
"Yes!" The crowd shouted in unison.
At the end of the timeout, there were three point guards on the Spurs court, and Hougist even pushed to the small forward position, forming a beautiful landscape on the court. One big four small Spurs vs five small Knights, this game is getting more and more interesting.
Joseph dribbled the ball over the half court, giving Haugist a response at the top of the arc, Bennett under the basket was like a child in front of Dedmon, and could not interfere with Dedmon's upper road at all, Horgist directly hoisted the ball under the basket, Dedmon raised his arm high to easily receive the ball, did not put his hand down but directly hooked, Bennett reached out to interfere, but not only did not pull it down, but also paid a beating foul.
Dedmon missed a free throw, Bennett picked up a rebound and pushed the fast break, and the other four shot three-point shots, and they ran very scattered. Bennett passed the ball to Sergei in the bottom corner, Sergei raised the ball and flipped off the deed. Colo, then to shoot Shi De. Chloe pounced as hard as he could, and Joseph on the flanks was about to come up to help.
Sergey distributed the ball to Alonzo on the flank. Kee, Joseph has just taken a step in the bottom corner, Alenzo. Kei took advantage of the momentum and hit another three-pointer.
"Damn, why can't you suppress their three-point momentum?" Coach Sieufer pondered on the sidelines, "If it was Popovich, what would I do now?" ”
Recalling Popovich's on-the-spot command, when he played the Warriors in the playoffs this year, Popovich often willfully asked for a timeout immediately after the Warriors scored the first three-pointer in the opening game, and did not arrange specific tactics during the timeout, in order to break the opponent's hand, sometimes it can really get unexpected results.
Thinking of this, Coach Siafer once again requested a timeout from the technical desk. The Spurs players returned to the bench with a blank look on their faces. Joseph took the initiative to stand up and take the mistake, "This defense is my mistake, I will work harder in the future!" ”
Joseph's apology made Coach Sifer a little confused, and after thinking about it, it turned out that he didn't guard Alonzo just now. It was Joseph who was the key. It seems that Joseph misunderstood!
Coach Sifu smiled and waved his hand: "You think too much, there is no problem with the defense of that ball just now." I'm not calling a timeout to criticize anyone, I'm paying tribute to Mr. Popovich and calling a timeout to cool them down. ”
"I see, it scared me!" Joseph was relieved.
After the long timeout, the Spurs continued to attack the basket, and this time Dedmon's layup was denied by Bennett's full jump. Carrick picked up the rebound and dribbled quickly, and after half-time, while observing his teammate's movements, Haugist cut the ball from behind.
Horgist dribbled back, Dedmon and Bennett hadn't run past the midfield, Horgist passed the ball to Dedmon in the elbow zone, and Dedmon started to play Bennett with his back. The Bennett chassis is lower, and it is effortless to defend against Dedmon.
Dedmon gave him two blows, and the two of them didn't move, but none of that was Dedmon's ultimate goal. Dedmon also began to accelerate straight to the basket when Dedmon hit Bennett with his back, Dedmon used his back to attract Bennett's attention, with a flick of his long arm, a back-hitting pass bypassed Bennett to give the ball to the middle, and when Hougist received the ball, he saw that the paint area was so empty, and he couldn't help but think crookedly.
Hoggist thought to himself: "I missed the basket just now when I jumped from the free throw line, but this time the distance is close enough, I'll do some tricks!" ”
Thinking of this, Hoggist rose from the paint area, flew to the basket, pulled the ball to his crotch with his right hand, and switched from his crotch to his left hand to prepare for a dunk.
“Oh my Gosh! Hougist wants to change hands under his crotch and dunk again? Did he treat the official game as a slam dunk contest? These are all restrictive moves! ”
"This high school student is so exciting, the free throw line jumping dunk just now, just a little bit off, this time it should be successful, right?"
In front of the crowd on the sidelines, Hoggist made a fool of himself again, because his crotch changed hands with his right shoulder in front and his left shoulder behind, and when he took the ball with his left hand and raised the ball to dunk, he began to fall again, and he was still close to the basket.
“Fxxk!” Horgist roared inwardly and reluctantly changed his dunk to pick again, licking the ball into the basket with his left hand.
Although Hoggist's first free-throw line gliding dunk was a failure, the visual effects were really shocking, and he won everyone's admiration and admiration. And this time the crotch changed hands and dunked obviously from the paint area, close to the basket, with Hougist's physical fitness, it should not be a problem, but it did not succeed, this time the failure caused the audience to laugh.
"Is this the same person as Hoggist, who almost succeeded in a jump dunk from the free throw line? This time it should be less difficult, how could it fail again? ”
"Looks like he's not too hot among high school students! This kind of dunk promised to join UCLA's freshman Zach this year. Ravan was able to do it easily in his junior year of high school! Ravan is also 6 feet 5 inches, as tall as Haugist! ”
The audience was full of discussions, and even Hodgest's teammates covered their mouths and snickered, and when Hoggist passed by Dedmon when he returned to defense, Dedmon applauded: "Your fancy layup performance is really impressive!" ”
Hoggist gave him a blank look, "We'll see, be careful that I'll be with you later!" ”
"Come on, The Human Highlight Film!" Dedmund teased.
"It's supposed to be The Human Highlight Lay-Up, right? Hahaha "De. Chloe reached out and high-fived Hougist, taunting.
Hoggist listened hard to De. Chloe slapped his hands, and it hurt De. Chloe grinned.
And Bennett, the Cavaliers' basket, picked up the ball, held it in his arms and slapped it fiercely, and reprimanded Carrick: "You were unreliable in college, and now when the Cavaliers return him to pit me!" You actually stopped the ball at half time to find someone with this kind of fast-break opportunity, what kind of professional game do you play with this ability? ”
Carrick had been scolded by Bennett for a whole year, and he had long gotten used to it, shaking his head and running to the frontcourt. Bennett drives the ball to Seth. Curry, Seth dribbled to the front court to return the ball to Bennett, Bennett continued to respond at the top of the arc, and the other four began to collectively run around the figure 8 to disrupt the Spurs' defensive lineup, this time the Spurs will change the defense in time, and the four shooters of the Cavaliers did not run out of the open space.
Bennett had no choice but to break through by himself, Dedmon was waiting for Bennett at the free throw line, Bennett burst into the paint area and leaned on Dedmon to start playing back, Dedmon's center of gravity was too high and the discswere unstable, and he was pushed by Bennett to a reasonable collision area. James came in from the bottom corner to help defend.
Carrick in the bottom corner was empty, Bennett saw Carrick in time, and the pass was a great opportunity, but Bennett hesitated. Bennett hesitated to pass the ball, but Dammy 3 ang hit without hesitation, rushing up and forming a double bag for Bennett with Dedmon.
I don't know how many pairs of big hands are on the ball, tearing each other. However, Bennett still had an absolute advantage in strength, and in the end he roared and pulled the basketball and threw it at Carrick in the bottom corner.
