The two teams stood on the court, and sure enough, the Clark High School Tornado changed their starting lineup, and they abandoned the Kombat Whirlwinds that they relied on to become famous, and arranged a two-tower strategy on the inside. Parker and David. Finch started with his partner, and the other three positions are still old acquaintances, point guard No. 6 Darren. Lisiad, shooting guard No. 32 Hollis. Thompson, small forward No. 0 Allan. Stone.

In the opening jump ball, Devon missed a move and Parker snatched the ball away, but as soon as the ball fell into Finch's hands, it was cleverly poked away by Horgist.

Haugist struggled to grab the ball on the floor, but couldn't get his hands on it, and watched as the ball rolled off the sideline, still in possession of the Tornadoes.

The Tornado kicked off, Lisiad dribbled past half the court, and called for a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and in his memory Devin had poor movement and a small defensive range, and the pick-and-roll couldn't keep up.

Parker came to the top of the arc and set up a screen to the right of Joseph, and Lichiad saw Devin follow and move the camera near the free throw line to make room for Joseph to go around the screen.

Lishyade did not doubt him, but when this was the opponent's tactics required Devin to follow the defense, he took the left side to break through to the inside line with the cover, Parker's cover was of high quality, Joseph could not snatch it from Parker, and could only go around the back, but it was too late to follow the defense of Liciade.

Devin switched over and took over the defense of Liciard from the free throw line, who thought that with Devin's slow defensive pace, he would definitely not be able to catch up with his breakthrough speed, and even if he did, he would definitely block the foul. However, Devin leaned sideways against Lichiad and calmly slid backwards with his speed.

Realizing that neither of the two scenarios he had imagined had happened, Lisiad glanced to the side, but fortunately Joseph did not stop Richard's down, and gave the ball to Richard in the middle. Richard received the ball in the three-second zone and was about to get up and throw it directly, but Devin immediately turned around to make up for the defense and blocked Parker's sight with his big hand in time.

Parker's throw deflected off the basket with his view blocked, and the Clark High School fans in the stadium let out a sigh of regret in unison. Devon got into position and scrambled the ball out between Finch and Parker, and Randolph caught it firmly and gave it to Joseph.

Coach Simmons of the Tornado team looked at the team's offensive wave and secretly said that it was not good. How did Williams improve so much in one vacation? When he played in the finals last semester, he was just an offensive enhancement and undersized version of Richard. Parker, how did he get so good defensively after just one vacation? Moves sensitively, has solid feet, moves cleanly, has expanded his defensive range to the three-point line, is smart in grabbing rebounds, and can judge the situation and pull the ball out in time when the number of people with height and arm span is not dominant. Now it seems that he has evolved into the one size David. Finch! I also urged Richard to intensify his training during the holidays, but the progress was not so fast! How did Devin practice? Is this the talent gap?

Coach Simmons was still thinking the sidelines, and Joseph had smoothly dribbled into the Tornado's half. Joseph calmly dribbled in the center circle and waited for everyone to run, Horgist asked for the ball with his back at the top of the arc, and Devin also mentioned near the free throw line, seemingly waiting for Horgist to get the ball and block it for him.

Richard. Although Parker's defensive footwork has improved, he is limited to the mid-range to the basket, and he can't expand to the basket, but Devin is standing near the free throw line and can't let it go, so he also follows, guarding Devin in the paint area.

Joseph passed the ball to Hoggist, who held the ball with his back to Thompson, and immediately boos in the stadium, it seems that Hougist is the least popular among the Clark High School fans! Hoggist was not deterred by the boos and was not in a hurry to dribble.

Joseph suddenly started to cut inside from the side of Haugist, with Lisiad close behind. When Joseph ran past Haugist, Hoggist passed the ball with one hand, and Thompson hurriedly let go of Hougist to make up for Joseph. But Hoggist saw that Thompson's center of gravity was brought to Joseph's side, so he forced the ball back before Joseph could catch the ball, turned sharply to the other side, and dribbled to the basket.

As early as Joseph chose to play on the left side of Hougist, Devin stuck Richard on the other side, and Hougist easily hit the basket and licked the basket with a low hand to score.

Hougist turned back and ran towards his own half, smiling as he passed Thompson and making a zip-up gesture on his lips. The gesture drew even louder boos from the audience. The audience didn't know why, thinking that Hougist was provoking, but Thompson felt that his face was slightly hot, and he had just said before the game that he would be strictly guarded and made him speechless, but the first ball was deceived by his feints, which was a naked slap in the face! It's a good thing the others didn't hear me, otherwise it would have been a shame!

The Tornado kicked the ball out, and Liciade dribbled across half the court, but Devin didn't make it just now, and this time he decided to let David come up to cover. David mentioned the top of the arc to block the dismantling, Randolph's flexibility was not bad, so he naturally followed the defense, and Lisiad repeated his old tricks, breaking through by cover, and Joseph was blocked again. Randolph switched to Lichiad, this time David who cut in the middle. Finch seized the opportunity and scored a three-step layup after receiving a land-and-shoot from Lisiad to score the team's first point of the game. The audience erupted in cheers.

Joseph dribbled and attacked, passing the ball to Haugist on the flank in the middle of the half. Thompson stared at Hougist head-on, secretly vowing in his heart that he must guard against this ball, even if it is a foul.

Hougist held the ball in both hands, and saw Devin stuck in the low position on the same side to ask for the ball, so he directly hoisted the ball to Devon, and said to Thompson with a smile: "Take it easy, I won't play this ball, don't be afraid!" ”

"You don't dare to fight, it's obvious that you're scared, right?" Thompson seized the rare opportunity to retort and breathe a bad sigh for himself.

"Oops! You saw through it, and I was most afraid of girls crying in front of me. Hougist replied with a smile.

Thompson was puzzled and didn't react for a while, and at this time Devin had already begun to beat Richard with his back. Parker too. Although he is slightly shorter, Devon's body does not suffer, and he is already close to the basket after two hits. Devin saw that he was approaching the basket, and wanted to make a strong shot, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he raised the ball with his right hand to prepare to hook his hand to shoot, Richard jumped up with confidence and was ready to send a big hat, but Devin's feet did not leave the ground, and he turned around Richard in the air with his left foot as the axis and came to the other side of the basket with an empty basket on his backhand and hit it easily.

This is the basket footstep that Bennett used when he played Devin with his back, but I didn't expect Devin to learn it and use it so smoothly! Hoggist saw it in his eyes and was very relieved.

Coach Simmons was even more surprised to see the ball on the sidelines, how could Devin's attacking methods become more abundant? Last time, I only played high under the basket, and the offensive routine has not changed, why has even the pace under the basket become so skillful now? Is the holiday Hakim. Is Olajuwon training him?

The Tornado turned around and still played a pick-and-roll, this time Joseph grabbed Finch's cover, and Lichiad withdrew from the three-point line to regroup, at which point Richard actually took the initiative to ask for the ball inside and wanted to return Devin. Lichiad hoisted the ball to Richard, who hit Devin with his back and found that he couldn't hold him up. Richard was also stunned, seeing that he was on the edge of the paint area, but he couldn't hold up Devin, he turned around and pressed Devin to put the basket, Devin didn't dare to jump when he stood outside the reasonable collision area, so he had to stand still with his arms raised, and Richard reluctantly put the ball into the basket through Devin.

Richard was very happy when he scored, and made a scissor hand at Hougist's cute cuteness. Instead of feeling that his opponent was provocative, Hoggist felt that Richard was innocently cute.

The Spartans continued to attack, and after half the court the ball was still in the hands of Hoggist, Thompson was still waiting, Hougist still smiled at him, and gave the ball to Devin under the basket, Devin received the ball and continued to play Parker with feints and footsteps under the basket. Parker was easily deceived, and Devin continued to get around Parker's empty basket.

And the Tornado turned around and Richard forced Devin to score again, which also caused Devin's foul. Richard walked to the free throw line, took the ball, turned and smirked at Hoggist, turned around to steady his breath, and made the ball safe.

Seeing that the weak chicken center of this side was able to break out strongly after a holiday training, the audience at the scene also broke out into a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

Richard triumphantly ran back to his own half, and Hougist came over and patted Devin on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's okay to defend, I'll help defend him if Richard plays the inside line again." ”

The Spartan's offense still gave Devin an end under the basket, and Devin easily shook Parker off for the third time, and this time Devin pulled it up and finished the offense with a dunk.

Coach Simmons of the Tornado team asked for a timeout on the sidelines, and the players returned to the bench, Richard was playing and asked puzzledly: "Coach, we are playing fiercely and anxiously, and we are not falling behind!" Why is it called a pause? ”

"Don't fall behind? It's hard for you to beat him, and you're still being played like a monkey on the defensive end, can your physical strength keep up with the opponent's center? ”

"It's okay! I think I'll be able to play like this for more than half a quarter! Richard estimated optimistically.

"You bothered to play most of the quarter and didn't have the energy to rest, and the opposing center was still full of energy to continue to crush the inside, and then we lost again?" Coach Simmons asked.

"Oh!" Richard asked, "So what should we do?" ”

"Change the guard! David, you and Richard switch defenses, you have a lot of experience, you should be able to deal with his footsteps! Coach Simmons arranged, "The offense is playing well, Richard, you keep playing, try to make a few more fouls!" ”

"Understood!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"They're probably going to change guards," said Hougist, touching his chin on the other side of the field, "Devon, if you can't shake David off. Finch, don't force your hand, come back to me and reorganize. ”

"Okay!" Devon took a sip and nodded in agreement.

'You also pay attention to off-ball screens and runs, and I'll pass the ball when there's space.'

"Understood!" Everyone nodded yes.

The two sides adjusted their tactics and returned to the court, the Tornado team still handed the ball to Richard, Richard dribbled to the basket as usual, and Hougist shrank back in time to help defend and cut the ball before Richard collected the ball. As early as when Hougist started to shrink the defense, Joseph had shamelessly rushed to the front line of the fast down, Hougist threw the ball forward, and Joseph was alone in the entire half when he received the ball.

Joseph scored two points on an easy empty basket. Leisurely ran back to the half court amid a boo.

The Tornado reorganized the offense and hit Richard again, Richard carefully dribbled and hit back, always on the lookout for Hougist's defense, Hougist still took the initiative to shrink the defense, and Richard hurriedly distributed the ball to Hollis on the wing. Thompson, Thompson received the ball and jumped three points, Haugist turned back to make up for the defense, and lightly stabbed the ball with his arm, the ball obviously changed its trajectory in the air, and Hougist didn't have time to be happy, but he saw the ball that changed the trajectory and brushed into the net.

"Haha! Even if you block it, you won't be able to stop my god's accurate three points! Hollow balls! Handsome! Thompson said smugly.

"Hehe, I'm afraid I won't touch this ball and I won't be able to touch the basket, right? Is the hollow outside the basket also considered hollow? Are whales also fish? Is soy sauce also considered oil? I'm your dad too? Hoggist said contemptuously.

This series of analogies stunned Thompson, and he couldn't react and could only reply casually: "Forget it!" ”

Hoggist smiled dumbly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it, good son." ”

"You!" Only then did Thompson react, and Hougist's last sentence made it clear that he was cheating him.

Haugist ignored him and ran straight to the frontcourt. When the Spartans handed the ball to Devin again, it was found that the opponent had changed defenses. Finch was behind him. David is really amazing and rich, no matter how Devin feints, he just doesn't shake, Devin has to return the ball to Hoggist at the top of the arc, Hougist looked up at the timer, and there are 7 seconds left, Hougist made a grimace at Thompson, and he slammed directly into the basket.
