Russell shook his head, "Carl Anthony is the most obvious advantage in our team, who can we rely on if we don't rely on him?" ”

"Relying on him to play for so long, the more he scores, the bigger the difference is, it's not as good as Jahir! When Jahir is there, we can still bite the difference! Booker had good things to say about Okafor.

"Jahir is playing on the other side's bench! You saw what he was doing in the starting line-up, and it was a complete disaster. Russell said.

"Can we let Jahir play against their main force and let Karl Anthony play their bench to score points?" Booker came up with such a bad idea.

"Are you stupid? Do you think Hoggist is quick to score points on Jahir, or Karl is quick to score points on their bench heads? And won't they make lineup changes in response? Russell pointed to his head as he spoke.

"So what do you say?" Booker is also running out of donkey skills.

"In the face of an opponent like Hoggist, it is estimated that only Karl and Jahir will have the ability to fight. It's just that the two of them ......" Russell looked at the two people sitting at opposite ends of the locker room, "I don't know if they want to win the game more or win the individual comparison!" ”

"Of course, it's more important to win the game together! It would be naïve to think and act in the mind that your team doesn't care if you win or lose, and just think that your stats are better than your teammates! Booker pouted and grumbled. Young people like to find and criticize the immaturity of others as a way to highlight their own maturity.

"I hope they'll wake up sooner......" Russell had just let out a sigh when he was suddenly inspired by Booker's words, and an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

Russell thinks what Booker said makes sense, and everyone must be able to see that only Downs and Okafor can work together to get a chance to win, and if the two of them can't see that this is the only way to win, it can only mean that they are short-sighted; Or they know that this is the only way to win, and they still want to compete for what the media calls their lifelong enemies, which can only show that they are too selfish, lack a sense of collective honor, and will not think about the team. As a result, the university's scouts will have to reassess the value of the two of them. It seems that as long as the two of them do not cooperate, it will do no harm to the two of them.

Hogist had said before that after this match, their relationship would ease somewhat, could it all be within his calculations? Russell is a little confused, the same point guard, Haugist's height and bounce shooting feel are stronger than him, not to mention, the overall situation can be said not to be in one dimension, Haugist's control of the game trend has reached a terrifying point, the day before yesterday when he was not familiar with the strength of his teammates and opponents, just listened to his own brief introduction to the situation of Downs Okafor, he was able to come up with such a layout, after being familiar with the ability of his teammates, he quickly worked out the corresponding strategy, and after the game began Okafor's first attack was defended, The game got into his rhythm, first bogging the two into a solo quagmire without all of us knowing, and then he took the opportunity to easily open up the point and force the two to reconcile. What kind of brain can calculate to such an extent?

Of course, Horgist's calculations are meticulous, but people's hearts are always unpredictable, and Downs and Okafor's ideas may not be able to be measured by common sense, maybe they really don't care about the infighting all the time?

Russell was tempted to persuade the two of them to join forces against the enemy, but he also knew that if they didn't realize the problem themselves, no amount of persuasion would be counterproductive. All Russell could do was pray to heaven that the two of them would wake up soon.

Booker saw that Russell was lost in thought after only half a sentence, and after a long silence, he asked curiously, "Have you thought of any way?" ”

Russell shook his head, "I'm just wondering if there is any other possibility to win, think about it or only that possibility, only let Downs and Okafor play together in the high and low positions, so that we can play our best strength, the inside has an advantage and can also force the opponent to shrink the defense, so that we can get more open three-point opportunities on the outside, this is the only way I can think of to overtake the score." Today's game is called the All-Star Game, but the win or defeat matters, and if we want to win, the two of them have no choice. I just don't know how the two of them can realize that winning together is more important than individual performance as easily as you are. ”

Booker suddenly had a new guess, "Both of them are the top players in high school, and the ball quotient can't be too low, and maybe they understand what we're talking about." ”

"Understand that they are still competing with each other? Obviously, they are sincere and united, there is no game that they can't win, and cooperation will only make them achieve each other, but they still target each other like this, isn't that even more bastard? Russell asked.

"It's one thing to understand, it's another to be able to do it. Cooperation will allow them to achieve each other, but their achievements are also high and low, they have long been put in an opposing position by the media, and they must be afraid of getting better results with their own help, in this case, even if they cooperate, they will have reservations, and the effect of this mutual reservation cooperation is even worse than that of two people alone. Booker saw it quite clearly at this point.

"It's ironic that we need to hope for an opponent's blow to bring these two bastards to their senses." Russell shook his head with a wry smile.

The second half of the game began, and Downs was still the only one on the field, and Okafor still chose not to play with Downs. Seeing that the two had not yet reconciled, Hoggist decided to add a little more surprise. He dribbled over the halfcourt, borrowed Turner's cover to kill the inside, and took a substitution defense on the opposite side, Downs covered Hougist in time, Hougist forced a breakthrough to the basket against Downs, but there was no room to shoot, but Hougist broke through to such a deep place not to get close to the basket to facilitate the shot, but to make the ball for Turner, who was following up behind him.

Turner provided cover for Haugist and then cut to the basket, Hougist pretended to make a layup against Towns, but threw the ball directly behind him after starting, Turner received the ball and flew directly to dunk, and dunked the ball into the basket between Horgist and Towns.

Horgist put his big hand along Turner's neck and rubbed Turner's small hair braid vigorously, "You guy, I was kind enough to make you a ball, and you actually tied me with the buckle!" ”

"Haha, it's just a coincidence, who made you all under the basket?" Turner happily broke free from Horgist's black hand and ran away, and his teammates in the backcourt also high-fived Turner, of course, mainly to celebrate Turner's dunk of Horgist, after all, it may not be as much of an opportunity as an opponent to dunk Horgist as a teammate "dunk" him.

However, in retrospect, Downs easily took advantage of his footsteps to dwell Turner again for a dunk. Hoggist wondered if the two brothers were too easy when they were fighting alone, giving them the illusion that they could get back on their own. That's not good, and they'll have to suffer a little more.

Horgist dribbled halfway through, stood near the halfway line with the ball, and asked for a very high cover, Russell was afraid that Horgist would shoot a long three-point shot in order to pretend to be forced, so the defensive position was relatively forward, Turner, you were getting a haircut, and there were still two steps to block Russell from the line.

Seeing that Downs was far away from the three-point line and did not come forward to defend, Hougist used Terra's cover on the line to instantly accelerate past Russell, came to the three-point line, and faced Downs with a fake shot, which directly shook Downs into the sky.

Hougist shook off Downs and continued to shoot to the basket, only to easily pull the rod to avoid the defending Bentil and distribute the ball to Siakam, who also delivered a powerful dunk after receiving the ball.

The high school stars in the West happily ran back to the backcourt to get ready to defend, and now the game was in full swing at their pace. Downs first set off to the front court to land the position, and the four behind him drove the ball and followed behind and slowly pushed forward, opening up a certain distance, and ensuring that Downs could hear a rough idea, Russell said to Booker: "Haugist's shooting is too strong, and the breakthrough is also very sharp, what is even more terrifying is that he shoots very well, varied, and unguardable, if only we could have Downs and Okafor in the inside!" Otherwise, if you go into one and I go into one, won't you be so many points short of hitting the old age? ”

"Yes, if we lose today's game by this margin, then we will have to say goodbye to full scholarships and prestigious universities!" Booker deliberately described the ending as tragic, trying to get Downs' attention.

Downs didn't have bad ears, they heard their conversation clearly, Downs stopped and turned back to the other people and said: "The opponent is so strong, why don't I want a helper of Okafor's level by my side, it's never that I want to compete with him, he has always had to compete with me, I'm obviously stronger than him, of course it's impossible to show weakness to him." You tell him that as long as he is willing to bow his head and take the initiative to ask me for cooperation, I will never say anything! ”

With that, Downs turned and threw himself into the fight. The other four looked at each other, "Lao Tzu is the best in the world, no one is convinced", this may be the standard mentality of these talented superstars! obviously wants to cooperate with Okafor, but he has to make the other party bow his head first, saying that "adults only talk about interests, and children only talk about right and wrong", Downs Okafor is so presumptuous, it's really too naïve! However, Downs can be regarded as having the intention of cooperating, but he doesn't know Okafor's attitude.

"Time is pressing, we need to find a way to get a look at Okafor's tone." Russell scratched his head, but how did he communicate with someone on the bench? He set his sights on Dennis. Hamilton, maliciously asked, "I said Daniel, have you already committed 3 fouls?" ”

"Dry ...... Do? Hamilton felt a chill down his spine, and he felt that Russell's eyes were full of intrigue.

"This ball is for you to throw, after throwing, you want to throw a way to foul the court and go off the court to find out Okafor's tone?" Russell finished and passed the ball to Hamilton.

Hamilton was embarrassed and was struggling with Stanley, who was opposite him. Johnson saw the opportunity and cut Hamilton's ball away. Johnson rushed to scramble for the floor ball, Hamilton subconsciously pulled him, and the referee decisively blew for a foul.

Russell looked at Hamilton in amazement, "I said Daniel, you're too anxious, aren't you?" I'm talking about you can shoot a ball first and then foul! Don't even give a chance to shoot, you're really high-spirited! ”

"I ...... Not ......" Hamilton walked to the bench in frustration, and the coach replaced R.J. Hunt, who was 6ft 6 in Indiana, and Hunter actually played better than Hamilton in the first half, at least he made two mid-range shots.

Hamilton sat down next to Okafor and asked cautiously, "Okafor, do you want to win tonight?" ”

Okafor gave Hamilton a blank look, "You're stupid, aren't you?" Who doesn't want to win! But with you...... How to win? I can blow up their bench inside, and you can bite their bench outside, but those guys from Downs Russell Booker are as pitiful as foggy orphans in front of the opposing main team! I managed to keep the score with the substitutions, sometimes I pulled some back, and as soon as they came on the field, they were all out! ”

"That...... The final ending of the orphans of the fog capital is quite good...... And at the beginning, you played the opponent's main performance not as good as Downs! Hamilton whispered.

Okafor heard Hamilton mention his embarrassing start to the game, and immediately became a little annoyed, "I don't need you to remind him! How do you win? ”

"Hmm...... Downs invites you to play with him in the Twin Towers, and only when you join forces will we have a chance to win, and this is our only chance. ”

"Of course this is our only chance, but is Downs willing to give me a hand?" Okafor asked.

"Why did Downs give you a hand? Isn't it the rest of us who will give you and Downs a hand? Hamilton asked.

Okafor said proudly: "There is only one person on the field who has the final say, and you see that the opponent is playing so well, isn't it the reason why all actions are under the command of Hoogist?" I'm better than Downs, of course I'm in charge! ”

"But Downs ......" Hamilton wanted to tell Okafor Downs that he also thought he was stronger, and the other party should give him a hand, but if he said this, the two of them would not be able to get over face, wouldn't it be completely impossible to cooperate? So Hamilton, who has always been indecisive, made a bold decision - fool Okafor!

"What did Downs say?" Okafor saw the abnormal performance of his teammates on the field, and he thought that Hamilton was taking the initiative to go off the field and be responsible for passing the word.

"Donsto, I'll bring you a word, as long as you lead the team to reverse and win the game today, it's easy to say who is strong and who is weak in the back." For the first time, Hamilton was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and his palms were covered with sweat.

"Huh?" Okafor was surprised by the answer.
