Chapter 181: Formal firefight
Hoggist actually saw Downs' glance at him, and he had to do a full set of acts, so Hoggist made a nonchalant expression, making Downs think that they didn't take Kentucky seriously at all. After all, you have to do a full set of plays in order for Downs to completely expose his strength.
Back in the locker room, Hougist privately pulled Turner past him and asked, "What do you think of Downs?" ”
"I don't think he's playing badly, I'm afraid he really wants to break out today!" Turner said worriedly.
"Do you have the confidence to deal with him?" Hogist patted him on the shoulder.
Turner raised an eyebrow: "Honestly? ”
"Of course I'll be honest!" Haugis nodded
"I'm not sure at all, although my supergod state has been in a long time, I haven't improved much. Tang Si obviously knows the strength of your super god mode, but he has been holding back for so long and intends to defeat you, which means that he has not only turned on the super god mode, but also the ability increase should be very high! I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself against that kind of Downs, let alone defeat him! "Turner is very reasonable, and the reality is so cruel.
"You've been training with me, do you think you're playing your strongest form as much as I'm at the strongest now?" Hougist always likes to ask weird questions at critical moments.
"I'm afraid my strongest state can only barely reach half of your strength, and I can only last about 10 minutes." Turner counted on his fingers.
"Are you sure I'm half of my strongest strength right now?" Hoggist reconfirmed.
Turner patiently repeated, "That's right, it's half of your strongest strength right now." ”
"That's enough!" Hoggist laughed.
"Enough? I'm afraid Downs has reached the strongest level you can play, and I can only reach half of yours, which is far from it, okay? Turner hurriedly corrected.
"Can't I make a little progress after a whole year?" Hogist reminded.
Turner reacted instantly, "Are you saying that although Downs has reached the strongest form you showed us last year, but now that you have improved, Downs is still not your opponent?" ”
Hoggist snapped his fingers, "That's right, and I'm afraid his level is half as good as yours." ”
Turner just wanted to question, but after thinking about it, it would be better to calculate the difference in everyone's strength first. Since Hoggist said that I am similar to Downs, and Downs has reached the strongest state of Hoggist a year ago, doesn't it mean that I also have the strongest state that Haugist showed at the beginning? Have you improved so much before you know it? Turner was complacent, thinking that his strongest strength reached the strongest strength of Hoggist a year ago, but it was half of his strongest strength now, which showed that Hougist's strength had doubled in one year! What a rate of progress! Wouldn't doubling the strength next year sweep the entire NBA? And in two years, will anyone on earth be able to stop him? Isn't he going to heaven?
"Why don't you speak? What is it to break your fingers? Hougist said with a nudge on Turner's shoulder.
Turner came back to his senses, looked at Hoggist with adoring eyes and asked, "Boss, you are so good, we train together every day, how did you improve so fast?" Did you steal some forbidden drugs? ”
Hoggist glanced at Turner and explained speechlessly: "I trained with Kehuai for a month last summer, learning defense with him and using him to practice offense, and after that month's training, my normal level was close to the intensity shown to you in the All-Star Game!" And in the process of training with Kehuai, I have a new understanding, you know, when you realize something, it is easy to break through the shackles and complete the leap. ”
"I envy your understanding! When will I be able to comprehend more! Turner said wistfully.
"It's something you can't do, but maybe you'll learn something from the showdown with Downs!" Hogist reassured.
"Anyway, now I have the bottom of my heart, and I'll hold off Downs' attack later, and our offensive will be handed over to you and Patty!" Turner said excitedly.
Reassuring his teammates again, Hougist changed into his game uniform, rubbing the No. 1 on his chest, and he was full of emotion. After giving up the No. 0 to Arenas's brain-dead fan McCauc, Hoggist never thought of what number he should wear, and then thought that since he was going to compete for the championship in college, he would only run for the championship if he got the first place, and he also hoped to become the No. 1 pick in the draft, so he simply chose the No. 1 jersey!
And now it seems that the No. 1 jersey is more suitable for him! Although he is also a fan of Arenas, his starting point is not low, and wearing a number 0 for the reason of a general seems hypocritical! I want to show the level of the first person in the NCAA to conquer all the opponents and all the fans!
Because Kentucky is in more teams in the league, Kentucky has won more consecutive games than UNLV, so Kentucky has a home-court advantage as the No. 1 seed, but because of the close relationship between LeBron and Hougist, this home-court advantage has become extremely incomparable today, and Cleveland fans will definitely send the most enthusiastic applause and cheers to the Rushers and to Hougist. As the nominal "home team", Kentucky is only left with the two special treatment of light-colored jerseys and late appearances, and no one cares about such trivial things as the color of the jersey, after all, Kentucky has also won all the way here, and will not be superstitious about which set of jerseys has a higher winning rate; As for the later appearance, the cheers of the audience were given to UNLV, who appeared first, and the later appearance made him very redundant.
But all this is a foregone conclusion, and Kentucky can only digest its own dissatisfaction and helplessness. After the host at the scene introduced the UNLV bench lineup, he actually walked in front of LeBron on the sidelines, "Next, we have invited 11-time NBA All-Star, 4-time NBA regular season MVP, 2-time NBA Finals MVP, two-time NBA champion, from St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School, 6-foot-8-inch forward, No. 23 LeBron - James!" “
At this point, the host gasped for a big breath, waited for the audience to cheer, and then continued: "Introduce us to the starters of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Raiders!" ”
LeBron was surprised by the host's move, but he didn't refuse, happily took the microphone and the introduction, and read in a tone that imitated the host's introduction of the players: "Mountain est Division Team of the Year, Mountain Est Division Team of the Year Team, from Columbia City Mattley High School, 6 feet 10 inches, power forward, No. 35 Ryan. Witherspoon! ”
"Mountain est Division Team of the Year, Mountain est Division Defensive Team of the Year, from Henderson Findlay High School, 6'6" tall, guard, No. 20 Rashard. Vaughn! ”
"Mountain est Division Team of the Year for a while, Mountain Est Division for the Team of the Year Defensive Team for a while, Mountain est Division rebounding leader, from Trinity County High School in Bedford, 6'11" tall, center, No. 33 Myers. Turner! ”
"Mountain est Division Team of the Year, Mountain est Division Defensive Team Team for the first time, from Renault High School, 6'7" tall, forward, No. 0 - Patrick. McCaw! ”
"2014 All-American No. 1 High School Student, 2014 Nevada Basketball Man, 2014 All-American Basketball Man, 2014 McDonald's All-Ming Quadruple Champion, Mountain est Division All-Defensive Team First Team, Mountain est Division MOP, Scoring Champion, Assist Champion, Steal King, Block Champion, All-time Quintex Double-Double Winner, from Las Vegas Cimaron Memorial Middle School, 6'7" tall, guard, No. 1 Haugist. Hurley! ”
After introducing the long list of titles of Hoogist, LeBron almost died of exhaustion, and the fans in the stadium, including the fans in front of the TV except for the Mountain est area, were all stunned, too exaggerated, right? The starting five is a team and a defense in the Mountain est division, how strong is this team? Or rather, this is a multi-dish competition area! There is also this Hoggist, legend has it that he already has the strength to gain a foothold in the NBA after graduating from high school, but he ignored the invitations of many basketball schools, and resolutely chose to have been silent for many years, has been reduced to a second-rate basketball school, and recently came out of Bennett, a super parallel UNLV, sure enough, his level is simply abusing vegetables in this kind of small division, brushing out the first place in the division with four data, and also playing a level of defense with the entire starting lineup. Could it be that he is not worthy of his name and is afraid of meeting other strong teams too soon? But he led the team to make great progress in the knockout round in Crazy March, and the big score of the game has won to the present, and some people have even called him Hurley in the half.
The audience began to look forward to the next game more and more, wanting to see how Hoggist would perform against a real strong team, and to see whether UNLV's starting one-time defense was not worthy of the name fed by Hoggist, or whether it was really built into an iron army by Hoggist.
In everyone's contemplation, the host took the microphone and continued to introduce the starting lineup of Kentucky, but no one cared about Andrew in the backcourt. Harrison and Aaron. Harrison is a pair of twin brothers, and no one cares why the starting small forward is Alex. Perthers instead of Devon. Booker, no one cares about Will, who is also 7 feet tall. Cauley Stein and Carl Anthony. Downs who plays center and who plays power forward, fans are full of UNLV and Hoogist.
The sparse applause from the audience did not bring much morale blow to the players of the Kentucky Wildcats, but made them more morale-high, and now they are extremely engaged, and there is only one thought in their hearts, which is to blow up the opponent and make a name for themselves, please, they are the team with more consecutive wins and more defeats against strong teams!
The starting line-ups of both teams were on the field, Cauley Stein and Turner stood face to face in the center circle, the referee tossed the ball high, Turner's legs just left the ground, but Cauley-Stein bounced up as if he had stepped on the electric goal, and easily dialed the ball to Andrew. Harrison.
"Not good! The three center forwards on the other side have really mastered the super god mode! Turner had a bad idea in his mind, although another 7-foot center, Dakari. Johnson hasn't played yet, but Turner doesn't believe a player who hasn't turned on superhero mode can be on an equal footing with Cauley Stein and Downs on the basis of his basic strength, and that kind of player is not much worse than Haugist, and he can't be unheard of before.
Also quickly saw the problem was Hoogist, as a person who had been immersed in the supergod mode for many years, he knew very well that Cowley-Stein had entered the primary supergod state just by looking at his eyes, and he would have improved his state at the beginning, if it wasn't for him who could open it indefinitely in the primary stage without affecting his mental power, it meant that they were planning to fight the wheels, and the three seven-foot-long people were going to take turns to improve their state to target Turner!
Hougist analyzes the data of Cowley Stein in the knockout round, and he should not be strong enough to remain in the primary state of supergod mode, and the opponent is going to take turns to bomb the inside.
Before Hougist could remind everyone, Andrew threw the ball directly to the basket in the backcourt of the Rushers, and Cauley-Stein easily completed the forced overtake of Turner, leaping high to the air for a relay dunk. The Kentucky Wildcats took the lead.
Hoggist asked everyone to pay attention to the help defense inside, helped Turner and Witherspoon relieve the defensive pressure, and gave the ball to Vaughn to organize the attack first, while he was in a lazy state to prepare for the rest of the game. Vaughn dribbled past half-court and was about to pass the ball to McCaw, but the ball was lost to Aaron. Harrison judged in advance, Aaron broke the ball successfully, and scored two points on a fast layup.
Haugist drove the ball to Vaughan, Vaughan dribbled over half the court, after a series of runs from everyone, Vaughn on the wing hit the ball to the ground to Turner's hands, Turner leaned on Cauley-Stein to turn over and hook his hand, but such a high-arc shot of the hook hand was actually blocked by Cauley-Stein jumped up and easily blocked, this kind of clean defense made Turner feel very ashamed to call a foul.
Successfully blocked Turner's shot, and Kentucky scored another 2 points through a quick counterattack. The beginning was beaten 6:0 by Kentucky, and Coach Odom and the players on the bench were shocked, this season with Hoggist, the opening jump ball has never lost, not to mention 6:0 behind, even 2:0 or 1:0 has never appeared, usually they are ahead of others, how can anyone fall behind?
Faced with the "huge" disadvantage, Coach Odom wanted to call a timeout to rearrange, but he was reluctant to waste the pause, thinking that such a strong player as Hougist was on the field, with his adaptability 6 points, so Coach Odom, who had already walked to the edge of the technical table, turned back to the bench and pretended to sit down calmly.
And although Downs's expression on the field did not change, he was secretly proud in his heart, "Hougist, this 6:0 is just an appetizer, who made you dare to look down on us Kentucky, there are more gifts for you next, if you don't hurry up and improve your strength to resist, we will solve the battle in the first half!" ”
