Chapter 125: Loyalty?
"Thank you!" The host nodded politely at Hoggist, and the camera ended the live signal.
"How? Isn't it a little nervous to talk to the camera so close for the first time? The moderator asked as he rolled up the microphone cable.
Haugess nodded, "yes! It's embarrassing to say the wrong word in this kind of live broadcast! ”
"Haha, you're too serious, in fact, it doesn't matter, the audience will forgive you if you say a wrong sentence or two occasionally, not to mention that an unpopular local sports channel like ours has been beaten by ESPN all year round, and the ratings are very low, so there is no need to worry about these problems at all."
"Uh, that's embarrassing......" Hoggist was speechless for a moment.
"That's why our leaders want to interview you more to increase the ratings. You've been on fire lately......" The host suddenly found that he seemed to mention the privacy that Hoggist was unwilling to discuss, and hurriedly changed his words: "After all, we are a sports station, and your wonderful performance on the court is what attracts us." ”
Hoggist became more and more embarrassed, but Joseph came at the right time, "Big brother, is your interview over?" I'm looking for something to talk to you about. ”
Hogist was pardoned and hurriedly confessed to the host and left. When he came to the bench, Hougist was about to praise Joseph for his cleverness, but seeing that Joseph's face was not very relaxed, he asked in surprise: "You can't really be okay, right?" ”
Joseph nodded, "I received a private response from the Tevors, saying that Kolo is going to chase you publicly. ”
"I don't accept it, it doesn't matter to me what she wants!" Hoggist said disapprehantly.
"No, it's not as simple as you think......" Joseph analyzed the danger of this incident to Hoggist, Hoggist nodded as if he didn't understand, and Joseph asked, "You tell me first, are you sure you can win this game?" ”
"The roster on the opposite side is very experienced, and there are a lot of main rotation players, and that Green, who looks very good, has to defend me against Seth. Curry got his revenge, so I can't guarantee a win. ”
"What if you want to fight hard to win?"
"That's not a guarantee of a win!"
"If you can't win, you can only break up with your sister-in-law and Colo. What about Molise together? Joseph set a condition for Haugist that could not be refused.
Hoggist spread his hands, "Then I'll admit defeat now!" ”
"What?" Joseph was taken aback, "You're going to want to talk to Kolo. Molise was together, you promised earlier! Why am I bothering so much? ”
Hoggist grinned: "Brother, can't you still hear such an obvious joke from me?" ”
"Am I in the mood to joke with you?" Joseph said angrily, he now wants to break the bridge of Haugist's nose with a punch, "Now there is only one way in front of you, you play an excellent performance to lead the team to win with your sister-in-law watching the game, and then show affection to your sister-in-law in the audience and the spotlight." Only by responding to the other party's hype in this way will you not be scolded again for hurting the little beauty's heart, even if Molise still doesn't give up chasing you, no matter how much you refuse, everyone won't accuse you of pretending. ”
"You're so complicated!" Hoggist was confused, "Can you put it simply, I don't care what you want to do, you just tell me what I'm going to do." ”
"Well, all you have to do is win." Joseph repeatedly emphasized: "Not only do you have to win, but you have to play as well as you play against the Cavaliers, and only by getting the audience to pay more attention to your game, they will pay less attention to your off-court news." If you think about it, if you play well, they'll probably say, 'This kid is so good, no wonder Moretz likes him!' ’; But if you don't play well, people will say, 'You play so badly and you deserve to play with Colo. Molise got involved? What would you rather people say? ”
"I see! I'm just tired on the field and I'm going to win! Hoggist said categorically.
"Okay, that's what you want! You go ahead and warm up! I called my sister-in-law and asked her to come over right away. Joseph nodded and began to call Cho Ching-ri, while Hougist returned to the court and began to practice shooting with his right hand in earnest.
Qiu Jingli received a call from Haojist, and without saying a word, put Helian Xi into the safety seat and drove the challenger from home to the stadium. In less than half an hour, there was an extra Chinese beauty holding a little beauty in the special seat of the family and friend group behind the Spurs bench.
Hoggist saw that a reporter was aiming at him with a telephoto, so he deliberately exaggerated and sent a flying kiss to Qiu Jingli on the sidelines.
Kolo. Molise kept staring at Hougist, waiting for him to notice him, only to find that Hougist's gaze had been avoiding his side, and now he was openly showing affection to his girlfriend on the edge of his bench, which was so sad, didn't I really have any attraction? Moritz lowered her head sadly and looked at her proud figure, there is no reason!
As the game was about to start, Hoggist was still worried about how he would deal with Green's defense, but saw that the Warriors fielded a regular lineup, a 6-foot-3" tall point guard, who should be an Eastern European based on his looks and name, and another guard was 6-foot-6" Brandon. Rush, the front three are 6'7" Green, 6'10" Speights and 6'11" Biedrins. Although the Warriors' interior height is not as good as Dedmon's, Green and Speights have high hardness and strong mobility, although they are slower than Delins, but their physical strength is not bad, and their blocking and pick-and-roll ability is also very strong.
The opponent's point guard should be the weakest link, as we all know, European players have strong teamwork skills, but individual ability is often a shortcoming, even the MVP Spanollis and the golden boy Rubio who were blown up in Europe entered the NBA Individual Offense are seriously scum. So Hoggist was determined that no matter how Green defended him, he was going to let this Nedovic enjoy the game today. Curry was treated more harshly defensively.
Coach Siafer carefully studied the lineup before the game, and he thought that his old acquaintance, a former Spurs player and current Warriors defensive coach, would send Bazemore to play one big and four small in this summer league, so he sent a more mobile starting lineup. But now facing the Warriors' regular lineup, the interior is only afraid that it will be blown up. It's a pity that the starting list has been submitted, and it's too late to change, so I can only hope that the players will perform better and can last a few more minutes.
Instead of sending the taller Billings jump ball, the Warriors sent the faster Speights, but the jump ball still lost to the taller, faster and stronger Dedmon, who played the ball to the backcourt. Haugist caught the ball and dribbled directly across the halfcourt, only to find that it was not Green who was defending him, but Rookie guard Nedovic from Serbia.
Hougist was overjoyed, he usually relies on his height and long legs, as well as speed and flexibility, and likes to play against short guards at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, today this Nedovic originally wanted to bully him on the defensive end, but he didn't expect that Nedovic also took the initiative to send people on the offensive end. Let such a rookie point guard defend me? Hoggist even had some suspicions that it might be a defensive trap set by Green.
Hougist was indeed a little carried away, he didn't expect that although these European players were good at teamwork and average individual offensive ability, there was also something commendable about their iron-blooded defense. Europeans, especially Eastern Europeans, play with a tough, even dirty defensive style, which varies from country to country. For example, Georgian players like to dig out their arms and feet, and the Serbian player who defends Haugist, who does not have so many bad moves, has one characteristic, that is, hard bones, don't look at him shorter than Haugist, his body is still lean, but the physical confrontation is really not a loss, and after Hougist's physical contact with him, he found that no matter which part of his body touches which part of Nedovic's body, he will be painful.
Hoggist is very speechless, he usually describes tough opponents as hard bones, but this time I met a real "hard bone"! Anyway, soft bones eat meat, hard bones stew soup, and I have different ways to deal with different opponents. I'll show you how powerful the offensive kaleidoscope is, and I can blow you up at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends without making physical contact with you!
Haugist kept Joseph's request in mind, to win, and to win beautifully. Hougist dribbled with a substitute hand under the top of the arc, and Nedovic only stepped back half a step away to stare at Hoggist, who wanted to prevent Hoggist from shooting and letting him break through. Nedovic dared to let Hoggist in, firstly, because he was physically tough enough, as long as he gave Hoggistt a certain amount of physical pressure, it would be difficult for Hoggiste to shoot smoothly, and secondly, there was still a defense on the inside, even if Hoggistt barely shot, there was a volleyball hat waiting for him behind him.
Haugist didn't want to follow the trap left for him by Nedovic, he dribbled with his right hand and took a step forward with his left foot, dribbled directly under his crotch to hand the ball to his left hand, stepped back to the three-point line and threw a three-pointer with his left hand!
This left-handed three-pointer surprised Nedovic, although he was very close to Haugist, but he faced Haugist with his left hand, which is a posture to prevent right-handed shooting, and when the two faced each other, their left hands were staggered against each other, and Haugist used this staggered space to calmly shoot the ball. It was the first time Hoggist had shot with his left hand in a summer league game, and everyone except his teammates felt that the shot was unpleasant.
However, it doesn't matter if everyone doesn't look good, Hoggist just casts it easily. After nearly a year of hard work, although Hoggist's left-handed shooting was not as accurate and freewheeling as his right-handed, he still had some confidence in this pre-conceived left-handed shot, and the three-pointer fell into the basket like silk, and Hoggist took the lead for the Spurs.
"Huh? Left-handed threes? Is this ball blinded? Or am I underestimating him? Green was a little surprised. However, he is not in a hurry, and plans to wait a few more rounds.
Nedovic dribbled across the half court and took the ball to find Green, who was the team's main rotation player and was proficient in team tactics. Jackson intends to develop him as a new tactical starting point for the team.
However, as soon as Nedovic's ball left his hand, it was cut off by Haugist, and in his opinion, Nedovic was far inferior to Sess on the offensive end. Curry is a threat. Haugist dribbled quickly and hit a right-handed shot directly on the three-point line, because he wanted to ensure a win, so he was eager to establish a lead today, and did not choose to rush in to stage a gorgeous dunk that exploded the whole court, but chose to shoot three points.
Many viewers sighed regretfully, such a good opportunity didn't go in to dunk, it seems that Hoggist is not in high spirits today! Of course, there were cheering spectators on the sidelines, Molise started with the jump ball, and Hougist would scream and cheer excitedly every time he touched the ball, cheering for Hougist, but Hougist automatically blocked all Moliz's voices as soon as he came on the court, and he was clapping his hands to encourage his teammates to defend well.
This time, Nadovic gave the ball to Green in the center circle before halftime, and Green dribbled to the top of the arc. Due to Coach Sifuer's tactical arrangement, the current opponent against Green is a lot worse in height and weight. Collo and Green's tentative ball-handling at the top of the arc almost elbowed to De. Kolo, De. Chloe subconsciously retreated half a step, and Green broke through directly with the ball. Chloe went straight to the basket and was ready to fly for a dunk. Without saying a word, Dedmon threw Biedrin back to make up for the defense, but he didn't expect Green to dunk the ball into the basket through Dedmon's defense, and also caused Dedmon's blocking foul, and Green easily hit the free throw. This is the Spurs' previous win over the Cavaliers' five-small lineup, and it is very difficult to defend against the Warriors' strong interior lineup.
Dedmon's foul also helped the Spurs, taking advantage of the foul dead ball opportunity for the Spurs to replace De. Chlo, who was replaced by Baynes as a power forward; Let Damion, who was previously in the power forward position. James went to play against Green, who was also tall; Let Mills replace Joseph, although the Spurs' on-court lineup has reduced its speed, the thickness of the interior line has increased, and Hoggist and Mills on the court have ensured the Spurs' firepower on the outside.
Mills dribbled past half-court and Hougist slipped off the line to run without the ball, and Nedovic kept grappling with him, as both teams used traditional lineups, resulting in a very crowded basket, and Hougist was forced to make multiple physical contact with Nedovic as he ran through the crowd, which made Hougist feel like he had just come off the boxing ring. And Haugist was still beaten for nothing, because his running position did not get rid of Nedovic at all.
