The state league opener, which everyone was nervous and excited about, finally arrived, and the atmosphere in the dressing room before the game was very cheerful. When you have a player in your team who is much stronger than everyone else and can hold up a piece of the sky for everyone, no matter what kind of opponent you face, you won't be too anxious.

But there will still be one person who is anxious, and that is Hoggist, who is higher than everyone else, and can talk and laugh with Bennett. Everyone is carefree because he has him against the sky, and Haugist is anxious because he is the one who stands up to the sky. Of course, the anxiety is more due to the fact that he has never played an official match. Although there have been a lot of training matches in the past month, after all, it is not a real battle, and the opponent will not use all his strength. Well, that's how it is, always full of anxiety about the unknown.

Of course, Hoggist understands that this anxiety cannot be brought on the pitch or even in the dressing room. Think about it, if the leader of a team is panicked, then the other team members are even more distracted.

Hoggist steadied himself, put all the negative emotions behind him, and took out the LeBron 8V1 South Coast with great embarrassment. As soon as he took it out, he was seen by the sharp-eyed Randolph. As the saying goes, black players are born sneakers, and Randolph is very sensitive to the information of sneakers, and recognized the ultra-limited sneakers at a glance, and shouted in surprise: "I'll go!" Boss, you're on the South Coast! How did you get it? These shoes are super limited! I'm not dazzled, am I? There is also a personal signature! Harris give me a punch, I must be dreaming, LeBron even wrote a gift to my little brother Haugist? ”

Randolph is a big man of 6 feet 5 inches, and his voice is not small. When he shouted, everyone gathered around and began to discuss it.

"Boss, do you really know James?" "Boss, are you a real shoe?" "Boss, did you write this signature yourself?" "Boss, you are so extravagant, you actually wear ultra-limited sneakers signed by yourself to fight! "Boss, I'll pay 1,000 dollars, will you sell these to me?" ”

The most exaggerated is Joseph, who held his shoes and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Damn, it's in vain that I've treated you as a good brother for so many years, you know LeBron. James has been hiding it from me! I'm going to break up with you! ”

"Okay, you guys hurry up and change your equipment, this shoe was handed over to me by James asked my dad two days ago" Haugist snatched back the shoe and fastened the laces on his foot, "I also follow Zhan Huang and each other on Twitter!" Maybe you'll see him in the future! ”

Hearing that they could see James in real person, the people who had just sat back exploded again......

Coach Dick was very pleased to see such a harmonious atmosphere in the locker room. He raised his hand to look at the time, and the Omega AquaTerra on his wrist was worn to a dull finish, which was said to be a relic left to him by his father.

"It's almost time, get dressed and go to our appearance ceremony, cheer me up!" Coach Dick slapped the wall and shouted at the people in the locker room.

The basketball hall of Cimaron Memorial Middle School was already full of spectators at this time. Not only the students and parents of the players at Cimaren, but also the students and parents of the players at rival schools. The Spartans at Cimaron Memorial High School opened against the Buccaneers of Mowapa Valley High School in Irvington, 100 kilometres away, and since it's only an hour and a half by car, many students have come to support their school's team.

Joseph's parents sat in the front row with Haugist's parents, and although they were both Chinese, it seemed that Old Helian did not have as good a relationship as Candace and the Old Bi family. Candace and Mrs. Bi were both holding posters cheering for the team, while Mr. Bi was blowing the popular vuvuzula at the World Cup in South Africa a few months ago! I really don't know where he got it from. Vuvuzula means to kill an elephant, and the noise it makes is very unbearable. Old Helian sat next to him with a blue face, if it weren't for the fact that the two children were good brothers of the iron buddies, Old Helian would have snatched this thing and crushed it!

At this time, the lights in the stadium suddenly dimmed, and a beam of chasing light from the roof shone towards the players' tunnel, and the cheerleaders stood on both sides of the players' tunnel, holding their hands high and preparing to welcome the players.

The loudspeaker in the arena rang out with the DJ's voice: "Now, welcome our heroes, the Spartans!" First of all, Coach Mr. Dick! ”

Mr. Dick walked out of the tunnel and waved to everyone. Then walk to the dugout and stand still.

"Now welcome the substitutes for the team! Player No. 7 Larry. Williams, No. 8 player Devin. The Williams Brothers; No. 13 James. Jones; No. 4 Brandon. Dawson ......"

The team's bench players rushed out to the bench to stand in a line with Coach Dick.

"Now welcome to our Spartans' starting five! First of all, the 9th grader, 5 feet 8 inches tall, a guard and a descendant of the AKA Dragons, the No. 9 player, Joseph. Bill! ”

Joseph sprang out in great joy, his eyes still firing at Vitra as he passed by her.

"Next, 10th grade, 5'11", small forward, No. 1 player, Justin. White! ”

There was a burst of girlish cheers in the audience, Justin is quite popular in the school, rich and handsome, such a handsome and golden white man can easily capture the heart of the girl. As he walked past the cheerleaders, many beautiful women threw flying kisses at him.

"Next, Year 12, 6'3", power forward, AKA barefoot thief, No. 22, Harris. Moles! ”

A rugged Latina man sprang out of the tunnel, nicknamed Barefoot Thief, but that had little to do with him, not because of how good he was at stealing, but because he shared the same name and surname as a recently captured thief. The eponymous "barefoot thief", also an American, is only 19 years old and has been wanted for more than two years, having been captured in the Bahamas a few months ago. He has been a traitor for many years, committing more than 50 burglaries in the United States and Canada, and miraculously escaped when surrounded by police several times; In addition, he has a habit of taking off his shoes and running away, so he is called the "barefoot thief", and the teenager has become an idol on the Internet. So Harris, who has the same name and surname, got such a cool nickname.

"And then, Year 10, 6'5", center, No. 33, Randolph. Morris! ”

Randolph walked out of the players' tunnel with a Harlem swing dance, and everyone laughed when they were dancing the swing dance.

"Finally, let's welcome the 9th graders, 6 feet tall, point guard, AKA Stars, No. 0 player, Hoggist. He——————li! The DJ's long voice brought the atmosphere of the arena to a climax.

Hoggist walked briskly out of the tunnel and raised his hands in greeting the cheering fans. Although Mr. Bi was still blowing vigorously about Vuvuzula, at this time Old Helian's face was already full of pride. Thinking about his life experience of being displaced in the first half of his life, his son's growth is enough to make him proud.

When Coach Dick gave his sleepy opening speech, everyone was on the field refreshed and ready to kick off! Hoggist is very excited, and finally ushered in the first official competition in his life! Even Haugist's hands trembled slightly.

The opponent Buccaneers should be a very strong team on the inside, the opposing center No. 34 Scott looks a head taller than Randolph, and the opposing power forward No. 2 Bernard is not only similar to Randolph, but also stronger.

In the face of a strong team on the inside, it is better to play blocking and dismantling on the outside first, and take advantage of the cover to make a quick shot to test the defensive range of the opponent's two interior lines; Defensively, the opponent will definitely make full use of the advantage of the inside, let's use a 2-3 joint defense first, let Justin and Harris help defend the basket, play like this first, and then change the tactics. Silently making up his mind in his heart, Hoggist used gestures to convey the tactics to everyone. The other four understood.

Hoggist stood at the middle of the free-throw line and raised his right hand, and the other four people gathered around him, and put his right hand on Hoggist's right arm, and everyone looked up and shouted together: "Fearless!" ”

Randolph came to the center circle to jump the ball, and everyone took their positions. Hougist took a closer look, the opponent's point guard and shooting guard are about the same height, should be about 5 feet 7 inches, the point guard with the No. 3 on his back is slightly thinner than the scoring guard with the No. 20 jersey Nance on the jersey, and the opponent's No. 15 small forward Vitess is a big fat man of about 5 feet 9 inches, more than two laps fatter than Justin, and at a glance he knows that he is a player with an interior crushing style of play. This reminds Haugist of being killed by Anthony. Bennett's horror of sitting on his back and dominating him couldn't help but sweat for Justin.

The referee stood in the center circle and threw the ball high, and without any suspense, the ball was dialed to No. 3 Carl by the opponent's taller and longer arm center No. 34 Scott.

The opponent quickly passed the half-court to complete the position, Scott was very easy to start to position outside the three-second zone on the left, Randolph against Scott, feeling very difficult, Karl dribbled to the left side of the 45-degree three-point line outside to Joseph, easily hoisted the ball to the center of the inside line, Scott received the ball and dribbled the ball twice, Randolph used all his strength not to let him into the 3-second zone, Scott did not blindly use brute force, seeing that he couldn't go in, he leaned on Randolph and directly hit a hook, the ball turned twice on the hoop, It ended up in the hoop.

The score on the field is 0:2 Buccaneers for the Spartans.

"There's nothing wrong with the defense, Joseph and Harris pay attention to the basket to help defend, it's time for us to attack, give them some color and see!" The moment he jumped the ball, the nervousness and excitement of Haugist suddenly disappeared, and he turned back into the confident and calm controller on the field, the first ball was not blocked, he was afraid that Randolph's confidence would be damaged, so he comforted everyone and encouraged everyone by the way.

With the ball coming out of the side, Hougist dribbled past half court, stood in the high post, dribbled with his left hand, raised his right hand, gestured 4 and 5, and motioned for No. 4 Harris and No. 5 Randolph to come up and give him a double screen.

The opposing point guard Karl had also heard that Hoggist's shooting was accurate, thinking that he had an advantage on the inside and was not afraid of Hoggist's breakthrough, so he stepped on the three-point line to prevent Hoggist's shot. Randolph and Harris saw Haugist's gesture and raised him from a low position on either side to cover him, and they sandwiched Karl in the middle at a right angle and waited for Hoggist to pass.

Seeing that the two interior lines on the opposite side did not mean to chase out and change defenses, Hoggist took two steps directly to the right and pulled out his hand outside the three-point line to shoot. Karl was caught between Randolph and Harris, and there was no room to grab the cover from the front, so he had to bypass the cover from behind Randolph and interfere with Haugist's shot. By the time he got around, Haugist had already thrown the ball, and Carl could only look back and watch the ball fly to the basket, cursing in his heart that he couldn't shoot. But the ball still landed safely in the basket.

"Alright, get back on guard!" Hoggist hit the first goal of the official game, and he was really a little excited, and he forced his excitement to pretend to be calm and greeted his teammates.

The score on the field is Spartans 3:2 Buccaneers.
