Hogist walked to the free throw line and scored the ball with ease. The Spartans overtook the score 21-19.

By the end of the first quarter, the Spartans had a six-point lead at 31:25, and Finch made a few baskets, but more often the ball in his hand would be destroyed by the Spartans' perimeter players.

"Guys, pass the ball! Our advantage is to share the ball and bloom more! Why do you want to play to the basket with the rhythm of your opponents? And the opponent replaced the high school forward and stopped playing the basket, why did you start playing the basket again? "Coach Simmons was on the sidelines reprimanding the Tornadoes.

"Coach, you see that they used their height advantage to play so smoothly at the beginning, almost the ball must be scored, and finally exhausted their high school forward's physical strength, we have an absolute advantage on the inside, of course, we have to beat them on the inside with a tooth for a tooth!" Point guard Lichillard explained.

"Did you blow it up?" Simmons asked.

"Uh......," Lisiad was momentarily speechless.

"It's my responsibility, I made too many turnovers under the basket!" David. Finch took the initiative to step up and take responsibility.

"The opponent dares to play the inside line because there is Haugist on the outside line, with him on the outside we can't pinch the inside line, and the opponent's inside habits are very good, the position is very deep, and it is difficult for you to interfere with the ball without putting it down and attacking the basket directly. Look at you again, there is no absolute strong point on the outside, Finch is not deep and likes to play with his body back, and he is broken when he dribbles, and the effect is certainly not as good as the other party! Simmons pointed out the team's problems.

"What then?"

"What to do? Use your brains! If you can't do it inside, you can continue to move, pass the ball up, and people will run, and play our usual tactics! Don't play to the other person's rhythm! Do you understand? ”

"Yes!" The crowd replied.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Tornadoes accelerated the tempo, constantly breaking through the ball to find open shooting opportunities, this offensive method played a certain effect, got some open shots, and also hit some balls, but the transition offense they pursued was fast and counterattacked, but they never played.

On the one hand, it's because of David. Finch is slow, rarely grabs a backcourt rebound but can't launch a quick counterattack, and has to distribute the ball to a player who can dribble. On the other hand, the Spartans played too steadily, and no matter how fast the Tornado attacked with the tempo, the Spartans came back and played slowly and leisurely through the half court at their own pace.

Therefore, in the second quarter, the tornado could only bite the score to avoid the score being further widened. The Spartans led 47-40 after half-time, Devin had already brushed up a double-double under the basket, and Horgist had double-digit assists on Devin alone. However, the Spartans' monotonous offensive style was tried and tested, which stunned the audience, even the audience in front of the TV.

"Is Clark high school too weak or is this called Devon. Williams' children are too strong! How can Devon's infinite inside singles make the Tornadoes defenseless? The audience began to whisper.

There were even viewers who didn't know how to play and whispered, "I think Devin is the No. 1 high school student in Nevada, right?" It's impossible to solve it under the basket! ”

But soon, there will be an emperor who understands the ball to teach him to be a man: "What do you know, it is precisely because there is a Bug-level character like Hougist on the outside, so the Tornado team does not dare to wrap Devin at all, Devin can play so easily on the inside, and you don't find that Devin has never played with his back to the single, he will only pass the ball to him when he wants to get to the position under the basket, and he can directly attack the basket when he gets the ball." ”

"What does that mean?"

"You're really a layman to a certain level! Look at that David of the Tornadoes. Finch, whose style of play is similar to Devon, is also a traditional interior play, and his reputation in Nevada high school basketball is much higher than that of this Devon, at least many players have heard of him! "Understand the Emperor of the Ball said.

"I haven't heard of it!" This viewer who doesn't understand the ball said arrogantly.

"Who have you heard of?" Emperor Understands the ball and asks.

"Na...... I knew the red-dressed No. 0, the one called 'Holyshit', and I heard that he was the best high school student in Nevada. The spectator, who didn't understand the ball, pointed to Haugist.

"Big brother, did you go to the wrong set? Why do you come to watch a game where you don't know anyone and don't know basketball? Aren't you wasting your life? Besides, it's called Haogistt, you can't remember other people's names, but you remember the swear words? "Emperor Qiu's nose is crooked, and he has been playing the piano to the cow for half the day.

"Leave me alone, you haven't explained why that Devon hasn't been beaten in the back!" The spectator who didn't understand the ball asked.

"Look at the David in verse 1. Finch also attacked the interior many times, a few times he caught the ball under the basket and got up directly to the basket, and he basically made a layup, and several times he hit the back in the low post and was stealed, why do you say this? Emperor Qiu asked him rhetorically.

"Don't sell it, let's talk about it, I need to ask you if I want to know?" The spectator, who didn't understand the ball, urged.

"Because of his height, the big man has too long a dribble distance, and it is easy to be destroyed by the assistant defenders, and playing high like Devin is the basic skill of the inside, but the important condition for lifting high is to get as close to the basket as possible, and the closer to the basket, the higher the success rate. But this is only limited to average level post players; Those elite interior players, even if they can't get to the basket, can push their backs to the basket from a long distance to shoot, so it is enough to see that Devin doesn't have the ability to play alone with his back when the ball doesn't reach him several times. "Emperor Understands the Ball's analysis.

"That David. What does it mean that Finch has also played so many times with his back to his back, but he keeps getting tackled? …… Huh! I understand, this shows that he is stupid, he is obviously at a normal level, but he thinks he is a star. The audience who didn't understand the ball listened to the explanation of the football emperor and began to seriously analyze the reasons.

Emperor Knowing the Ball spewed out a mouthful of old blood, David. Finch is also one of the top 10 centers in Nevada, that is, he was deflated by the Spartans' targeted defense today, so how could he become a big fool in the eyes of the layman?

Halfway through the second quarter, the German style was exhausted again, and the Spartans replaced Harris again and let Devin go off the court.

After Devin went off the court, the Spartans lost their ability to protect the basket. Finch became the absolute height of the court, but he learned the lessons of the first quarter and did not force the inside, and every time he attracted the bag, he distributed the ball to the players in the open space, looking for more reasonable shots, and scored several rounds in a row.

Although the Spartans lost the inside advantage, they did not show weakness, and Haugist and Randolph cooperated very well with each other, and if Randolph blocked the defender Hogist, he would shoot three points directly. If the interior player comes out to switch defense, Hougist will pass the defender and go to the basket, and every time the Tornado team plays an offense, Hougist responds with a tough score.

At halftime, the Spartans still held a six-point lead at 61:55.

The Tornado players returned to the locker room, Coach Simmons frowned, the opponent's tall center basket basic skills are very solid, and the three interior players in his main rotation are not tall enough to interfere with Devin. Williams. Although there is also a 6-foot-11-inch tall player at the end of the bench, he is a new transfer student this year, he used to play volleyball and has not been exposed to basketball, he only joined the basketball team because Clark High School did not have a boys' volleyball team, and he has only been training with the team for two months now. Williams, but on the offensive end, it's equivalent to four to five, and the score is behind, isn't it more disadvantaged to play like this?

But Coach Simmons thought about it again, as long as he restrained Devin. Williams, at least able to suppress part of the Spartans' firepower, may not be able to catch up with this score. Thinking of this, Coach Simmons made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Richard. Parker, in the second half you come to play center, you only have one task, to prevent Devin. ”

"Okay coach, what should I do?" Parker asked.

"Devin does his best to push him as far as possible when he is in a position, if he shoots you just stand there and raise your hands, don't press down on your arms, and don't jump, your arm span is enough to interfere with him. On the offensive end, your task is also very simple, stand in the low post, be careful not to violate the rules for three seconds, and do your best to give the rebound to your teammates! ”

"Okay, got it." Parker nodded.

Right at Clark Middle School for German. At the same time as Williams made the set-up, there was also a heated discussion in the Spartans locker room.

"Devon, you played very well in the first half, you can basically use it to teach you, and it is mainly your credit for leading so far today." Hoggist praised Devin in public. Williams.

"That's what you taught." Devin didn't dare to take credit.

"In the second half, if the opponent doesn't limit you, you can only wait to lose, so I expect the opponent to find a way to limit you in the second half, and if the opponent covers you, you will still share the ball in the open position as usual. I see that there is a person on the opponent's bench who is a head taller than you, if the opponent lets him come out to defend in the second half, you will be better if you come out directly to dismantle us, we play the outside, try his movement speed first, but eighty percent of this buddy is slower than you, otherwise how can a player with height and speed accompany the last seat? ”

Coach Dick did not speak, but looked at Hoggist with satisfaction, only one semester of the game Hougist has already exercised the coach's vision and overall view, this basketball IQ is more valuable than his physical talent, it seems that Hoggist is really a natural court master.

Horgist took out the bean juice as usual, and as soon as he opened the cap, he heard a vomiting sound at the door. The crowd followed the prestige and saw James II throwing up against the wall at the door.

"Why are you here? Joseph quickly brought him a bottle of water and rinsed his mouth. "Hougist was surprised.

"Hmm......" James II forcibly suppressed the nausea, took the water handed by Joseph, first rinsed his mouth, and then drank half a bottle in one go, which eased up, "I came to cheer you on behalf of my father, I didn't expect to ask a rancid smell as soon as I entered the door, I couldn't help but vomit, you players don't pay too much attention to personal hygiene, haven't your locker rooms been cleaned?" How many years of sweat does it take to get to this point? ”

"Hehe, this rancid smell is the taste of the secret drink that your idol drinks, we can't suppress this smell even if we use air fresheners, we don't carry this pot." After Justin finished speaking, he took out a bottle of air freshener from the closet and sprayed it around.

"Die, if your air freshener falls on my bean juice and causes me food poisoning, then you will be guilty, I don't have Jordan's ability to play like TheFluGame." Hogist hurriedly protected his bean juice.

"Brother, this is for you." James II handed Haugist a wristband.

Hoggist took the wristband and looked closely, and the wristband was emblazoned with the words "HOLDMYOWN".

"Take your own destiny into your own hands?" Hougist pronounced the words.

"This is a tattoo on my father's body, and he often wears this wristband when he plays, and he asked me to give this to you, saying that it is to encourage you." James II said.

"Thank you dad for me and tell him I'll win the championship before him, hahaha!" Haugist drank the bean juice and smiled heroically.

"Vomit ......" James II vomited again, waved his hand and ran out of the locker room.

……

At the beginning of the second half, Haugist put on the wristband given by LeBron and went onto the court, signaling to LeBron. Emperor Zhan also smiled back tacitly.

The Tornadoes were replaced by the 6-foot-11-foot Richard. Parker, a player tall enough to play inside in the NBA, stood on the court, and the audience was shocked, they hadn't seen such a tall middle school student for a long time, and the last one was the 2004 champion show Dwight. Howard.

The Spartans kicked off, still unchanged, Joseph dribbled across half court and handed the ball to Haugist. Hougist saw that Devin couldn't take advantage of the inside, so he motioned for him to come out to block and dismantle, Devin came to the top of the arc and blocked Thompson, Hougist cut sideways from behind Devin to the inside and went straight to the basket.

Richard. Parker didn't follow Devin, still guarded the basket, and when he saw Hoggist coming, he followed the coach's instructions to stand still with his hands raised and interfere with Hoggist's layup.
