Chapter 147: A Wave Takes Away

Hougist dribbled straight from the backcourt to the wing and began to single Russell with his back in the elbow area, while Booker stared at McCaw while preparing to come up to help defend Hoggist.

Haugist leaned on Russell with his back, turned over and prepared to jump, Booker looked at the right time to step forward and cut the ball, Haugist had already guarded against Booker, Booker came to cut the ball, but Horgist hit the ground pass through Booker's crotch and distributed the ball to McCaw who was let go by Booker in the bottom corner, Booker had not time to turn back to defense, McCaw had already jumped up and shot, and McCaw successfully regained his feel and hit this bottom corner three-point shot in the relaxed state of mind without defense.

"Thank goodness you finally found the basket!" Hougist reached out to high-five McCaw, but McCaw shook his head and refused.

His reason is also righteous words, "I finally found my feel, don't shoot me anymore!" ”

Downs and Okafor walked to the front court while discussing the tactics of the next ball, Russell received the serve and advanced to the front court, but he didn't want Haugist to start leading the defense all over the court, although it was not tight, but it also caused a certain psychological pressure on Russell.

Russell cautiously dribbled the ball to the front court, intending to hand it over to Downs quickly, but almost everyone present knew that the ball would definitely be handed to Downs at this moment, and would Russell's passing line still be safe?

Sure enough, Russell's lob pass was directly saved in the cradle by Haugist, and the lob pass was almost picked up by Haugist, who jumped high, but fortunately Haugist couldn't hold the ball in the end, and the ball fell back to Russell.

Russell tried to give the ball to Downs with a hit pass again, but Haugist didn't even look at it, and directly reached out and broke the ball out of the touchline from behind.

Russell took the initiative to take the throw-in, still trying to go directly to Downs. Hougist stood on the pitch and covered Russell with his teeth and claws, easily breaking the ball off the touchline again.

"Do you only know Downs? Why do you have to pass the ball to him? It's so easy to prevent! I can't even put water if I want to! "Haugist is very speechless about Russell's behavior, although he can't compare to himself in every way, but he doesn't dare to do anything under his own defense, right?

It was Booker who cleared Russell, who asked for the ball close to the halfway line, and this time Russell dodged Haugist's block and finally passed the ball. Because Booker was not directly opposite Haugist, he didn't want to be like Russell, and his confidence didn't suffer, so he dribbled and singled out McCaw, using Towns' cover to throw off McCaw and shoot a three-pointer.

Booker shot while Okafor and Poeltl began to fight for position under the basket, and Towns also tried to rush in to grab the rebound, but was blocked by Turner. Fortunately, Booker was not relentless at the critical moment, and actually hit this three-point shot as well.

"Well done!" Okafor roared under the basket.

Haugist wanted to use Booker as an example to encourage Russell, but after thinking about it, Booker had never played against himself, and the worst thing in the whole game was just a ball passed by me through the crotch just now, and of course his self-confidence would not be smashed like Russell. Moreover, the better the others performed, the more Haugist would have to attack harder, and Russell would only be hit harder.

Hoggist dribbled to the frontcourt, and this time he took Poeltl by surprise to cover. I don't think Okafor has already pushed his speed to the limit, and in an instant, he and Russell bypassed the cover to form a double bag.

The two were a little surprised to let go of Poeltl to pinch Haugist, but Hougist didn't panic and threw the ball straight through the gap to Poeltl. Poeltl took the ball in the high post and took advantage of no one to defend and directly clumsily dribbled to the basket, Downs stood under the basket, facing Poeltl to block, and also put a hand on Turner next to him to ensure that he could turn around and prevent Turner.

At this time, Poeltl couldn't care so much, and he felt that he was going crazy! Poeltl took a leap to the paint to collect the ball, and although it was only a matchbox-like bounce, a dunk was not a problem. Downs jumped up to get the block, but Turner suddenly stepped back half a step. Poeltl distributed the ball to Turner in the air, and Turner made a decisive mid-range shot that felt silky smooth and hit with ease.

Now the two teams are constantly alternating leads, which makes Haugist very unhappy, and he has decided to make a difference. Hoggist deliberately ran to the low post to high-five Turner, and then pretended to tell Turner to hurry back to defense.

When Downs, who was outside the baseline, hit the ball to Russell, Hoggist ran over like a panther who had found its prey, and reached out to intercept the ball before the ball fell into Russell's hands, and took the ball again and turned around to complete a normal dunk. The raid put the Western High School Stars up to three points.

Downs passed the ball to Booker this time, and Russell is now a waste on the court. Of course, in fact, one high school student in the United States counts as one, and anyone who is defended by Hoggist is basically not much worse.

Booker dribbled to the front court and wanted to repeat his old tricks, but Hoggist taught him another lesson. Booker had tried to help defend Hoggist several times before, but in the end he was unsuccessful, and Hougist's help directly helped McCaw cut the ball.

Horgist and McCaw broke the ball naturally and were not polite, the two of them counterattacked with a two-line fast attack, Booker chased back, and finally caught up with McCaw who held the ball in the paint area, McCaw faced Booker's defense, did not pass the ball to Horgist, and actually directly stepped back to shoot a jumper, which made Booker very different, Booker tried his best to jump up and interfere, although he still failed to touch the ball, but he felt that the shooting was too small, it should be an air balloon!

Booker hurriedly turned around to grab the rebound after landing, but when he turned around, he found that although the ball did not touch the basket and the rebound had fallen, Hoggist had already flown in the air, Hougist flew to the basket and caught the ball, and even had the spare strength to make a crotch change again before reflexively dunking the ball into the basket with his left hand. Only then did everyone find out that McCaw was a fake vote.

The previous two sides hit wonderful goals in succession to take the lead alternately, which made the audience watch the climax one after another. McCaw and Hougist's open dunks pushed the atmosphere directly to the climax. After Hougist came on the court, the Western High School Stars hit 5 consecutive offenses, Hoggist made two three-pointers, including a 3+1, completed two dunks, and scored a total of 11 points, and also directly assisted McCaw to shoot a three-pointer, and a pass assist Turner hit a mid-range shot. He also contributed a couple of steals on the defensive end, which directly turned the game around, from a six-point deficit to a five-point lead.

"It seems that the strongest high school student in the class of 2014 has no suspense!" Uncle Fultz on the sidelines said to Markle.

"Dad, that extreme pull-up layup just now has proven his level as the first person in the 14th class, okay!" Markle said disdainfully.

"That lever was brilliant and showed off Haugist's physical talent, but that offensive option was terrible! He had a chance to split the ball before he made a shot, but he actually chose to play on his own, and such an offensive choice really shouldn't come in a good playmaker. Uncle Fultz expressed a different opinion.

"No, no, no, since he can play calmly and reasonably throughout the game, that extreme pull rod is definitely not a wrong choice, it must be a necessary means to achieve a certain goal! We don't know the inside story, so it's better not to judge lightly! Markle said.

"There's still time for us to be five points behind, and there's still time to chase! Booker, take advantage of the good feeling you can cast another one! "Downs was encouraging everyone from the baseline while giving the ball to Booker.

Booker dribbled to the frontcourt, waited for Towns and Okafor to get into the box and was ready to fight for the frontcourt rebound, and then began to dribble McCaw alone, pretending to break through one of the retreats to retreat outside the three-point line, and shoot directly for three points. This action has a bit of the charm of Hoggist. Unfortunately, the shooting percentage was still far from that of Haugist, and this shot only hit the front of the basket.

With Poeltl's assistance, Turner was already evenly matched with Downs Okafor under the basket, several long arms fought fiercely under the basket, the ball was dialed to the periphery by someone somebody, and flew straight in the direction of Hoggist, who received the ball and turned around to dribble quickly, but found Russell gritting his teeth and standing on his dribble route, ready to make him foul with the ball.

Hoggist really didn't expect that Russell, who seemed to have lost his fighting spirit, could suddenly be so witty, this position and timing were just right, if someone else was changed, he would be 100% hit, but Hougist still tried his best to avoid him.

Horgist first dribbled the ball through the crotch to Russell's crotch, and seeing that he was about to hit Russell, Horgist felt that someone reached out and grabbed him behind him, and he was stunned, but in the end he still didn't hit Russell. Russell saw the ball bouncing through the crotch to his backcourt, and hurriedly turned to chase the ball, and Haugist was also pushed by the black hand behind him and accelerated back to the ball.

Russell was already ahead of Haugist, short and fast, and he finally picked up the ball before Haugist. But this time Haugist was even more ruthless, Russell picked up the ball, and just turned around, Haugist's fast hand had already picked up the ball.

Horgist's slicing ball was so powerful that Russell could not react to the ball and disappear from his hand, only his slightly numb hands proved that the ball seemed to exist. Hougist cut off the ball in the front court and handed it to McCaw, who also wanted to dunk a basket to show off, but unfortunately the mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch was behind, McCaw lifted the ball and flew in the air, but was sent a wonderful hot pot by Booker behind him.

With Booker's interference, the ball dunked on the front of the basket and bounced out, and Horgist grabbed the rebound and shot directly on the spot to shoot a mid-range shot. He also played tricks with the shot, mimicking Nowitz Fund's independent shot, a two-pointer that arced high into the air and fell almost vertically into the basket from the middle.

The audience was in an uproar, at the last moment of the game, the opponent's score was very tight, and the fighting spirit was still strong, at such a tense moment, Hogist could still deal with it with such a relaxed mentality? What kind of powerful psychological quality is this?

Of course, it wasn't just the audience that was intimidated by Hoggist, but also this group of high school graduates in the East. And intimidating opponents is the purpose of Hougist's throw. Towns and Okafor struggled to get back on the fence, and as soon as they ran to the three-point line, they witnessed this fancy shot, and they immediately felt a double blow.

"I said Lao Jia, how do I feel that Hoggist still has the strength to spare! It seems that today we can't win! Downs was a little tired, and he started to gasp with his hands on his knees.

"He had six minutes more rest than us in the fourth quarter, so of course he had room to spare!" Okafor said dismissively, "If I had rested in the first half of the fourth quarter, I would have had a lot of energy!" ”

"I'm not talking about that, I'm saying that his strength shouldn't have been 100 percent in today's game, and his courage to rest in the first half of the fourth quarter also illustrates this problem." Downs explained to Okafor.

"You're saying that Hoggist dares to rest to show that he is sure that even if we overtake the score, he can chase it back?" Okafor asked.

"Isn't it? In fact, didn't he do it 'easily' as well? Downs asked rhetorically: "Every goal he's scored and every assist he's given since he came on the pitch has looked so relaxed. ”

"Don't you say, there wasn't that in the first quarters, but in the fourth quarter he seemed to have a hard time moving the ball from our guards, and in the first three quarters he was already difficult to deal with, and in the fourth quarter he seemed to have moved up a notch, is that the result of two summers of training with NBA-level opponents? It seems that the gap between us is indeed a bit bigger! Before, the two of us were too involved in fighting, and we almost forgot that the strong have their own strong mid-rangers, and when we were still taking the other party as the goal of surpassing, the goal of Hougist was already an NBA player! Today I am sober, and losing is also convincing. "Okafor was also an epiphany.

But Downs breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up again, "Admit defeat? That's impossible! I know I can't win, but I still have to fight to the end! ”

"I admire your tenacious and hard-working style, out of respect, I will do my best for the rest of the time!" Hoggist's voice suddenly appeared behind them, sending them both jumping.

Hoggist smiled at the two of them and stood aside waiting for them to serve. Next, Downs and Okafor really saw the full strength of Haugist, Russell received the ball and was stolen and dunked by him, Booker received the ball and was also stolen and dunked, Downs tried to block Haugist's dunk, and was separated again, Okafor tried to block Haugist's dunk, and was beaten by him to pull the lever and make it 2+1. Until the end of the game, the high school students in the East couldn't get the damn ball across the half.

The game was over as Booker missed a long shot from the backcourt. What happened on the field in the last period of time left the audience stunned, what happened? Who Hoggist? Why did he suddenly burst out?
