Haugist was very well prepared for this ball, he knew that Okafor would definitely reach out to interfere in a hurry, and it must not be easy to control his limbs, so he jumped in the air to receive the ball and did not rush to shoot, but used the strength of his waist and abdomen to wait for Okafor's arm in the air, and when Okafor reached out to interfere, he directly leaned forward and shot, which not only threw this mid-range shot, but also caused Okafor's foul.

Hoggist smiled at Okafor, "It seems that your active and hard training has not had any effect in front of me?" ”

Okafor could stand such a provocation, and how to play at the beginning, the accumulated evil fire was about to attack, but when he heard the order of the coach behind him, the interim coach asked Okafor to rest and replaced him with a 6-foot-9-inch black power forward from St. Andrew's High School in Delaware. Bentil.

"Why did you replace me? I've only been playing for less than 3 minutes! Although Okafor was angry, he still questioned the coach with strong anger.

"Okafor, there are still 10 teammates sitting on the field, you have to give them some opportunities to perform, you take a break first, I believe you will be able to show your true strength in a better state later." The coach tactfully persuaded.

Okafor is right to think about it, now I am a little too impatient, I should calm down, my skill level has not been played at all just now, and the damn Karl Anthony is also on the field, people will directly compare the performance of the two of us, now that I have fallen behind, I should rest for a while and start again! I'll first see where the opponent's defensive weaknesses are below, as the so-called bystanders clear, find the weaknesses and then go up to color! And wait until Ka'an Tony is tired of me and then play, isn't the ball all mine?

The more Okafor thought about it, the more he felt witty, and happily sat back on the bench. Russell on the field breathed a sigh of relief, although Jahill vaguely seemed to be fighting with Karl Anthony at the beginning, but at least it was not particularly obvious, and now that he is off the court, I can concentrate on feeding Carl! said that this Hoggist is too unreliable, and he said that after this game, the relationship between the two of them will improve. I've told him that Karl's biggest characteristic is that he is flexible, and he actually uses such a slow-moving traditional center to defend Carl on the court, isn't this just to let Carl attack with his hands and feet? But Hoggist targeted Jahir's weakness and made the big man who looked stronger than Jahir to defend Jahir, which was deliberately aimed at Jahir, and the effect was obvious at the beginning. Carl was out of the limelight, but Jahir was deflated everywhere and lost all his people. Could it be that he wants to forcibly create the appearance that Jahir is inferior to Karl, so that Jahir will bow his head and submit defeat in the face of factual evidence? Also, if two people behave like a world of difference, the poor person is embarrassed to compete with the strong person anymore, and if someone admits defeat, the relationship will naturally no longer be tense. It seems that Hoggist is quite interesting, knowing that Carl has a good relationship with me, and deliberately elevates Carl and belittles Jahir.

Russell's cranky thoughts completely misinterpreted what Hoggist meant. Ignoring Russell's thoughts, Haugist took the free throw himself, turned and ran back to defend. But Russell has decided without hesitation to feed Downs more. Coming to the frontcourt, Russell also planned to cooperate with Downs to create a misplaced single opportunity, but Haugist is also a good pick-and-roll, and stabbed the ball directly from behind Russell when he was around the screen.

Turner, who was standing at the free throw line and was about to change defenses, picked up the ball and threw it diagonally upwards to the frontcourt. Haugist was amazed by Turner's ball quotient, and at the same time did not relax at the same time, turned around and ran directly to the front court to receive the ball, Russell and Downs also fought to catch up, but the speed of running without the ball Hoggist still had a clear advantage, three steps and two steps, far away from the Dons Russell duo to the frontcourt. Although Hoggist was a step slower and didn't catch the ball on the three-point line, the ball bounced up and flew to the free throw line and was caught by the catchy Hougist with his arm raised.

Hoggist did not slow down while receiving the ball, and did not dribble when he held the ball, but took a step and flew directly to the big windmill with his arm. The audience was blown up from their seats by Hougist's dunk, tonight's game was really worth the ticket price, not long after the start of the game, Hoggist staged a slam dunk contest 2.0, and the opposite Towns also staged a wonderful performance of chasing and blocking a dragon dunk and counter-killing, and Okafor ...... Okafor also delivered a brilliant block and a 2+1, although he was in the background in both highlights.

Hougist dunked to the ground, turned and ran back, and as he passed Russell, he shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be helpless, "It seems that I am still very lucky." Why don't you try to let Towns attack with the ball in the high post? If you continue to play with him, I'm afraid that my hands will itch and I can't help but steal your dribble again! ”

Russell felt more and more that Hoggist was outrageously strong, Downs and Okafor were also stronger than him, but their strength was still in the category of their peers, but Hoggist's strength was too exaggerated, just like an adult bullying a child, he had done his best in all aspects of the details, but Hoggist could still find flaws, it was terrifying!

Russell dribbled past half the court, obediently listened to Haugist's advice and gave the ball directly to the high post Downs, but as soon as Downs looked up, he found that it was still Miles who was defending him. Turner. The last round was the first attack of the side after replacing Okafor, and the defender on the opposite side became Turner, Downs thought that the opponent's defensive formation was disrupted by this sudden substitution, and now it seems that the opponent's defense has been prepared at all!

But what is the quality of this defender? For Okafor's ability, Downs can be said to know everything about it, and the simple competition in strength Downs admits that he is willing to bow down, Okafor's first attack on the arm that leans on the person to turn over and rise up is the first of his stunts, and the key factor in the success of the wisps is that Okafor's strength can basically suppress all opponents. But it was so easily blocked by this Turner with one hand, it seems that this Turner's strength is not far behind Okafor! However, Downs is not worried about the opponent's strength, flexibility is his advantage, as the so-called four or two thousand pounds, even if you pull out the mountain and cover the world, it will be in vain if you can't beat me.

Thinking of this, Downs began to take on Turner head-on, and he was nimble like a defender, constantly changing hands and dribbling, while watching Turner's reaction. Turner has been expressionless and his center of gravity hasn't changed, but that's the limit of what he can do. Fortunately, although Downs also played the guard position when he was a child, but now due to his height, many too dexterous and fancy moves Downs can no longer do, but the general passing moves can easily pass the big man in the opposite position.

Downs pulled the ball to the left in a large disguise, and then quickly dribbled the ball back to his right hand, just this simple action made Turner's center of gravity slightly cheaper, it was this trace of space, which was instantly captured by Downs, and his right hand dribble accelerated from the side to squeeze Turner into the inside, and scored again. And Turner chased the defense to try to block Towns, but also paid a beating foul.

The audience also cheered for Downs, and in the eyes of the audience, it seems that Downs's athleticism is also vividly displayed. Suspenseful games are always more exciting.

Before the game, Turner, who boasted about Haikou, was easily passed for the first time in his official defense of Downs, not only letting the opponent dunk and score himself, but also paying a foul, which made him very annoyed, and he was embarrassed in front of Hougist, not to mention, if the best defense himself can't prevent Downs, then it will be a little difficult to win tonight.

Hoggist didn't care, after all, as the strongest interior player in the class of 2014, Downs is notorious, and it should be normal for Turner to be unstoppable. It doesn't matter if you can't stop Downs, you can limit him to points as much as possible. Hougist made a substitution to put Turner in the center position, replacing Poeltl with the Cameroonian from Dallas Seminary High School, who is 6 feet 9 inches tall. Siakam, Siakam moves faster and can help Turner defend against Downs.

In fact, Hougist has a better way to limit Downs, that is, joint defense and regional packing, but the team's group of players did not have much tacit understanding, and they only practiced together for an afternoon, and this kind of formation that requires close cooperation will be half the effort. Therefore, on the basis of marking defense, Hoggist can only find someone to help defend Downs to the greatest extent.

It is gratifying that Hougist's three-point shooting is as steady as a dog, and under his leadership, the Western High School Stars scored quickly; And the Eastern High School Stars can only rely on Downs to chisel in one by one, play one by themselves when the opportunity is good, and share the ball to teammates who run out of the vacancy when the opportunity is bad, such scoring efficiency is far inferior to Howgist, with 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the Western High School Stars have led the Eastern High School Stars by 8 points at 35:27, and the two sides replaced the last starting lineup on the court and sent a bench lineup, Okafor led a group of starless Eastern High School players, proud of the spring breeze.

Because the interior of the West is overstretched, and the starting center Poeltl has been replaced, Poeltl's shortcomings Okafor saw clearly at the beginning, that is, the movement ability is too poor, and Downs can easily beat the opponent, and he has absolutely no problem!

But in the remaining 2 minutes of the first quarter, Okafor was going to show his strength on the inside, but found that Poeltl changed his defensive strategy and cowered on the inside and refused to come out. But Okafor is not good at long-range shooting, and when he enters his attack range, there is no room for Okafor to pass again. So Okafor can only rely on solid footwork to create space for shots, but Poeltl's reaction is really a little slow, and he has no reaction to Okafor's gorgeous steps, but whenever Okafor makes a shot, Poeltl can react quickly and reach out to interfere with the shot.

In the final two minutes of the first quarter, Okafor took six shots but scored just two. The audience saw it in their eyes and sighed in their hearts, this talented interior player who claimed to be on par with Downs turned out to be so much worse than Downs, but Okafor, the opponent that Downs could easily beat, couldn't take advantage of it, it seems that Coach K also has a time to look away! Recruiting Okafor to Duke University? It's better to recruit that Miles in the West. What about Turner!

Okafor can be on par with Towns, and of course he is not easy to match, Okafor changed his shot at the beginning of the second quarter, he began to try to hook the shot from the farthest point of the range, without Poeltl's interference, Okafor won one after another.

Although Okafor frequently scored on hooks in the mid-range, the difference was not narrowed, and McCaw, Oubre and Winslow hit three-pointers in a row, making Okafor's highlight performance look more like a single player.

The Eastern High School Stars tightly bit the score under the leadership of Okafor, and the two sides switched back to the main lineup with 7 minutes left in the second quarter, and the interim coach of the East did not let Okafor and Towns play at the same time after all, and the Western Hoggist still let Turner play center, Siakam assisted in the defense at the power forward position, and left McCaw and Oubre, who had the right hand, on the court.

After the third quarter, the Western High School Stars had a 71-55 lead over the Eastern High School Stars, including 9 of 10 three-pointers, 3 of 3 two-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and 3 of 3 free throws, with 3 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds.

At halftime, Haugist looked at his panting teammates in the locker room, and suddenly said: "I'm sorry guys, I want to apologize for my previous thoughts, I thought that everyone's level was not good, not the opponent in the East, but I didn't expect everyone to play so well, and they were able to lead the opponent by 16 points at halftime!" In the second half, we continued to work hard to extend the margin to more than 20 points. ”

"It's the big brother who can take the lead, you command it properly, and our shots are all vacant opportunities created by the big brother, so the hit rate is so high, as long as the big brother is on the field, we are very confident in how we play!"

"Now we can play so easily, it's entirely because Towns and Okafor can't work together well, in my calculations, the two of them will form an effective combination in the fourth quarter at the latest, and then it will be the real test for us, so we must do everything in our power to open up the difference before the two of them reconcile!"

"Understood!" The crowd replied in unison.

On the other side of the home team's locker room, the high school stars in the East are discussing a goal to chase the score. Booker quietly discussed with Russell: "If you don't chase points in the third quarter, you won't have to play in the fourth quarter!" Don't just patronize feeding the ball to the inside, when will the 2-point and 2-point chase go? Let's shoot more threes! ”
