Chapter Ninety-Six: Wounded into Battle
Bennett ignored the block, and forced a dunk that pressed the fingers of Hougist's right hand against the joint of the palm of his hand by nearly 90 degrees.
Horgist only felt a sharp heart-rending pain in his knuckles, but the heavy buckle was finally blocked by him.
Everyone present was shocked, except for Devin, it was the first time for everyone else to see Bennett's powerful two-handed dunk being blocked frontally, which brought everyone a shocking feeling no less than a comet hitting the earth. Carrick's jaw dropped to the ground in surprise, "Did he really do it?" What a madman! ”
Because the powerful dunk was blocked, Bennett fell backwards under the reaction force, and no one from the main players followed, and Jackson, who came back first, jumped in the air and picked up the rebound.
Bennett landed and took a few steps back to stabilize his figure, while Haugist fell vertically from the air and didn't move, standing there with his left hand on his right hand and his back hunched down, beads of sweat dripping down his face.
Jackson hurriedly asked for a timeout, dropped the ball and came up to check on Hougist's injury, "How are you?" ”
"These four fingers of the right hand should be dislocated!" Hoggist said through gritted teeth.
"Coach, Haugist is injured!"
"Coach, we need a team doctor!"
"Coach, Haugist has a dislocated finger!" The crowd shouted in unison.
"Where did we get the team doctor? Hurry up and get him to the school hospital! I called Dr. Sturridge and asked him to get ready for the check-up! Coach Odom was also shocked, the future star of Nevada basketball, the important core of the future team in his own planning, the baby bump in the hearts of local fans in Vegas, he was injured so seriously the first time he came to train here, if this is spread, the media and the Internet can drown himself!
"I'll take you to the school hospital!" Jackson helped Hougist to leave.
After walking a few steps, Hoggist suddenly stopped, "No, I have to finish the game, and I said that I will lead you to win, I can't give up halfway!" ”
"It's just an intra-squad training game and it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Let's go! Don't delay the treatment of your hands. Jackson urged.
Hoggist thought about it, and finally shook his head, "No, you look at the few substitutes in your team, how happy they are to lead the score, it shows that even in the team training match, they are very eager to get a win." A man does not stand without faith! Since I have already made a promise, I must do it. ”
"But how do you play with your hands!" Coach Odom questioned him.
"Looks like I'm going to emulate a sage!" Haugist gritted his teeth.
"Do you want to be a discipline comparison? Snap your fingers back? Kobe Bryant just dislocated one, you have four fingers! Jackson said anxiously, "And Kobe's finger was reset with the help of a therapist, and we don't have a team doctor here now!" ”
Hougist smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, I learned this from a doctor of orthopedics, I can do it myself!" ”
"Can you really do it? Do you want me to find you braces and bite it? Someone asked.
"What kind of braces are you looking for! You're really going to see Hoggist wrestling his fingers here! Coach Odom angrily scolded the person who had just spoken, "Hurry up, Devon, Jackson, you guys take Haugist to the school hospital!" ”
Coach Odom's voice did not fall, only a "click" was heard, and Haugist had already snapped his little finger back into place.
Everyone gasped when they heard the voice, but Hougist only frowned slightly, he moved his little finger, felt that there was no obstacle, and then held his ring finger and prepared to reset.
In this way, in full view of everyone, Haugist snapped all four fingers back into place. Everyone's eyes were about to pop out, although there was no cowardice to cry, but Carrick had already seen the psychological shadow, and secretly resolved not to forcibly block an opponent of Bennett's size in the future.
And Bennett, the initiator of this incident, also had a sore tooth when he watched Hougist break his fingers. But he can't be blamed for this, after all, it is Hougist who wants to use his mantis arm as a car.
Hogist moved his right hand, and it was not much different from his normal right hand except for some soreness in his joints. He picked up the ethyl chloride and sprayed his right hand to relieve the pain.
Coach Odom was still not at ease, and said to Haugist: "You better go to the hospital!" See if the tendons are damaged! ”
"Okay, I'll watch the game after it's over!" Haugess nodded, "I'm ready to get on with the game." ”
"This ......," Coach Odom hesitated.
"You'd better go to the hospital! Don't come to us for a claim when the injury gets worse, and don't think we'll let you play with an injury! Carrick said displeased.
"Wouldn't it? Then why did you let me go when I wasn't hurt just now? Hogist asked, pretending to be surprised.
"Who the hell let you?" Carrick's mouth was a little unclean.
Hoggist smiled, "Really? You just defended loosely like a cotton waistband, I thought you were letting me! It turns out that your defensive level is not good! ”
After saying that, Haugist hurriedly covered his mouth again, pretending to be innocent and said, "Oh, did I say the wrong thing!" ”
Before Carrick's attack, Devin preemptively separated them and said, "I said boss! You're going to have to play psychological warfare in a training match! No, no, since you're fine, let's keep fighting! ”
Carrick secretly scolded himself, no wonder Coach Odom took care of Hoggist so much, it turned out that Hougist's mouth was also so damaged, and he was simply biological without looking at his skin color!
Coach Odom was also secretly surprised, he didn't expect Hougist to be so venomous, so in line with his own style, he will definitely be able to carry forward his tactical thinking in the future!
Coach Odom eventually agreed to continue playing. When the game resumed, Horgist switched to a left-handed dribble across the half. At half-time, he ran into the bag again, and this time Carrick was eager to prove himself with a lot of rage.
Haugist, whose right hand was still a little numb after being sprayed with ethyl chloride to relieve the pain, knew that he was not an enemy of the two at this time, so he gave the ball to the unguarded Sonny. After the two attacks were blocked, Sonny didn't dare to make a mistake when he received the ball, and hesitantly looked back at Hoggist.
De Shawn had already pounced on him, and Hoggist took advantage of Carrick's attention to follow the ball to Sonny, and suddenly started to drive straight to the basket from the middle.
Sonny suddenly understood, and directly hit the ball to the ground to the middle of the air cut Haugist, Devin and Witherspoon were fighting under the basket, too late to come up to make up for the defense, Bennett was pulled to the bottom corner by the big white soft, too late to defend, Haugist left hand basket easily scored two points.
Hoggist turned around and waved his hand at Carrick, who was chasing after him, "This defensive intensity is not as good as just now!" ”
"Don't get complacent! I think I'll just let you go for one or two of your injured hands! Carrick said stiffly for the sake of face.
"Didn't you just say you wouldn't let me go because I was hurt? Why are you logically confused and inconsistent? Hougist said with a smile.
Devin was afraid that Carrick would be annoyed and angry, so he hurriedly helped him cool down, "No one can concentrate on every minute of the whole game, and neither can he Haugist, don't be affected by his words, what you need to do is wait for his flaws!" ”
Carrick seemed to have figured something out, nodded and ran to the frontcourt. Hoggist's provocation was resolved by Devin several times, which made Hougist a headache, Devin was too familiar with himself, his own routines were clear to him, and it became a little difficult to control the opponent's mentality.
De Shawan played a block with Bennett at the top of the arc, and a cover directly caused Bennett to be misplaced to face Sonny, Bennett received De Shawan's ball in the paint area and began to hit Sonny with his back, where Sonny was Bennett's opponent, Bennett only topped him and flew out of the bottom line.
Bennett turned to the basket to make a move, Witherspoon hurried up to make up for it, Bennett cleverly distributed the ball to Devin behind Witherspoon, and Devin dunked easily.
Haojister grabbed the big white soft and pointed out: "You don't need to fight on the inside, but you have to shrink the inside line to help defense, you can't let them play two and one under the basket!" You might as well cut a handful of balls on the side! Let them vote on the outside, if they throw one, I'll help you pay it back, okay? ”
Da Bai nodded softly to indicate that it was his own problem just now, and Hougist said to everyone: "Our defensive tactics may be your first practice, and I hope that everyone will try to concentrate as much as possible when defending, and we can win if we guard the inside line!" ”
"Yes!" The people should be in peace.
After halftime, it was still a double bag, this time Carrick stared at Hougist, sticking to him like kraft candy, Haugist couldn't get rid of Carrick no matter how he ran after giving the ball to Sonny, Witherspoon's speed and impact were average, only suitable for strangling on the inside, the big white soft block was like a nightmare, Haugist had to let Jackson block and dismantle himself.
But Dinwiddie, who changed the defense, was really difficult to deal with when he defended seriously, and Hougist also wanted to shake Dinwiddie with a simple and large change of direction in front of the body, but Dinwiddie was not fooled when he lowered his center of gravity.
Seeing that he couldn't shake Dinwiddie, Hagester directly hoisted the ball to Witherspoon on the inside, and then cut in and used Witherspoon's body to block Dinwiddie.
Horgist hoisted the ball to Witherspoon and thought the same way, and after closing the ball, Horgist got up and prepared to pull the backhand for a layup, but Devin behind Witherspoon sealed it with his big hand. Hougist forced the ball back in the air and passed it to Witherspoon with Devin on his back.
Witherspoon saw Haugist get up and make a layup, turned to face the basket and was engrossed in grabbing the rebound, but suddenly there was an extra basketball in his hand. Witherspoon saw that Devin had not landed on the ground in the face of Hougist's back to him, and he didn't think about it, and directly got up and scored with both hands.
"Damn, Hoggist is like a catfish, one person can revitalize the whole team on the offensive end, why can't we do it?" Carrick shouted.
Devin replied: "Our outside attack is too poor, there is no strong breakthrough and projection ability, we have been focusing on the inside line, the lineup is too easy to Jianghua, only playing a defensive weak team has an advantage, although Haugist has brought defensive changes to the bench lineup, but the improvement is also limited, our tactics on the inside have worked!" Hoggist's right hand injury will definitely be affected by dribbling and shooting, now there is no need to wrap the bag, he can also be put on the outside to shoot, as long as he is strictly prevented from breaking through, we strive to equalize the score in the first half! ”
"Come on!" The crowd shouted in unison.
The main force continued to be blocked and dismantled by Bennett and De Shaian on the offensive end, this time Da Bai Soft shrank to the basket in time, and also cut the ball in time, but was whistled for a beating foul, Devin improved on the free throw line, and easily hit both free throws.
Hoggist dribbled past half court and found that the main players stopped wrapping on him, and continued to defend Hoggist by Carrick, who did have defensive experience, in this case Carrick leaned to his left side, forcing Hoggist to break through from his right hand.
Hoggist said to himself, so it seems that you are still a bit of a defensive level, but who said that if I hurt my right hand, I can't break through from the right side?
In order to confuse Carrick, Hougist endured the sharp pain of his right hand and accelerated the dribble from the right side to forcibly overtake and cut into the inside line, and prepared to split the right hand in the face of Devon.
After all, Devin had been teammates with Hoggist, and he had a deep relationship, and he was afraid that he would hurt Hoggist, so he stood in place with his hands raised. The pain in Haugist's right hand became more and more intense, and he had to pull the rod to withdraw his right hand holding the ball, and switch the ball to his left hand and lick the basket to score.
"Is his right hand really okay? How can you break through and still be so sharp? Carrick asked, surprised.
"I don't think he's going to be able to do it, he's bluffing the ball, and he didn't end up making a left-handed layup. Anyway, Devon, why don't you get up and cover him, let him go wild on your head! Deshoan said.
Devon smiled and didn't speak. The main offense continued to play inside, and this time the big white soft cut ball paid for a foul again, and did not stop Devin's dunk.
“Fxxk!” Sonny, Jackson, and Witherspoon shouted in unison.
Witherspoon grabbed the collar of the big white soft coat and was about to beat him, but Horgist hurriedly came over and separated the two, and took the initiative to take the blame and said: "This is the responsibility of my tactical arrangement, and I will help defend the basket in the back!" ”
Witherspoon let go of his fist, his anger still subsided, and he shouted softly at Dabai: "Your defense really should be practiced well, almost every decision you make on the defensive end is a disaster!" ”
"Didn't I just defend Bennett and didn't receive the ball?" Big White muttered.
"Is there one? Didn't I poke that ball out of Bennett's hand? Witherspoon said disdainfully.
"Okay, don't fight, the defense is not terrible, as long as you have a positive defensive attitude, it is a good start! As long as we take the initiative, these small problems can be solved. Hoggist is now from beyond the three-point line.
As Hougist's words fell, Devin hit the free throw again.
