Chapter 176: The Battle with "Old Coach K" (3)

Shashewski's tactics are flawless and his players are top-notch.

Back on the offensive end, the U.S. team didn't give the Chinese team any chance, as long as they didn't face Roy or Zhou Qi, the score was almost effortless, and soon Ingram's single added two more points for the U.S. team, and the score became 45:58.

It is clear that the Chinese team's joint defense has weakened.

In the second half, Roy did not plan to command these players on the field again, which is not to say that the main players of the national youth team are more difficult to mobilize, but Roy does not want to use the "coach on the field" anymore. He understands that he must give Coach Fan a little face, at halftime just now, Fan Bin's face is obviously not good-looking, everyone knows that Roy is a little overstepping.

Dominating is not a quality that a good player should have, and with a long time to go and more games, Roy must learn to keep a low profile in the sensitive team of the national team.

Since he can no longer command his teammates, Roy can only rely more on individual offense and individual ability to contribute to the team.

However, he now has an inseparable black bodyguard - Jaylen Brown, this guy is close to Roy almost everywhere, whether he has the ball or not, no matter where he stands, now he can probably even count how many hairs Roy has on his hands.

But then again, Jaylen Brown is a very tactical player, and he is temporarily ranked fifth in this year's mock draft, which means that he is also one of the strongest rookies of the year, along with Roy.

With such a strong defender against himself, Roy's life must be difficult.

Isn't? At this time, Roy and Jaylen Brown ran out of the penalty area like hide and seek, and then rushed into the penalty area from outside the penalty area, the two ran back and forth three times, and most of the time was consumed, and Roy barely received the ball.

Brown still vacated his flanks, hoping that Roy would get into the defensive trap set by "Coach K," but Roy wouldn't be fooled.

Now all he can do is one-on-one, and Jaylen Brown's defense is certainly tough, but Roy has another trick that has never been officially unveiled — a Jordan-style step-back jumper.

Faced with Jaylen Brown's height of 201 cm, arm span of 212 cm and no less than his own jump, Roy wants to score by jumping shot, the only way to score is to step back, and the first choice for back is this Jordan-style step-back jumper.

While Roy wasn't quite proficient in the moves, he decided to give it a go.

Roy lowered his center of gravity and continued to dribble under his crotch, he was calculating Jaylen Brown's rhythm, in fact, as long as he was not directly blocked by Brown, his "Jordan-style step-back jumper" had a 70% probability of ignoring the opponent's shooting interference, combined with his 78 "moving mid-range shooting" (FIBA's three-point line is the NBA's mid-range shooting distance) ability and 77's "step-back jumper" ability, the probability of scoring is still quite high.

Just like now, Jaylen Brown is slow to follow, and Roy sees the right moment to get up and shoot.

"It's naïve." Jaylen Brown saw Roy jump straight up and shoot and thought he had found a chance to block, but just as he jumped high, Roy's body was falling backwards.

It was a graceful step-back jumper, a stretched posture, a perfect stagnation, and a classic shooting action, and in a trance, people seemed to see the ancient god reappear and kill the Quartet.

There is no doubt that every fan who sees this action will spit out the name "Michael Jordan" in unison, which is Jordan's signature move, such as the fake Jordan-style step-back jumper.

This is a step-back jumper stunt that Jordan practiced hard in his later years after his body gradually declined in order to fight against the new generation of challengers who can run and jump.

Jordan was in his thirties and could use this trick to be invincible, and Roy is eighteen years old this year, which is the age when his physical ability is rapidly improving, and his step-back jumper is undoubtedly lighter and more high-flying than Jordan back then.

It is extremely difficult to block the backward jumper, not to mention that this is a backward jumper dedicated by Roy, who is an excellent jumper, Jaylen Brown can't find a chance to block at all, his right hand will pass in front of Roy's eyes, this is the only interference he can do, of course, this interference is very likely to be ignored by the "Jordan-style backward jumper".

The ball flew to the basket in a battle between two of this year's favourites, and a goal could determine the tone of their game for the rest of the game.

The one who set the tone was none other than Roy.

"Huh." The ball went into the net crisply, and the whole court roared.

At 48:58, there are only 10 points left, and there are 18 minutes and 36 seconds left in the game time, and the outcome of the game is in suspense again.

Seeing this, "Old Coach K" just sighed, he was still sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, he believed in the ability of his starting players, not to mention that he didn't believe that Roy could throw a difficult step-back three-point jumper into the net every time.

Sure enough, the U.S. team that returned to the offensive end was extremely tough, and Damian Jones grabbed the rebound and forced a dunk after receiving a hat from Zhou Qi.

The thin Zhou Qi was knocked away by the big black tower Jones in this way.

At 48:60, Jones' dunk temporarily stabilized the situation.

The game was again handed to Roy and Jaylen Brown, and with the lesson of Roy's previous ball, Brown's defense was tighter, and he almost hugged Roy.

Of course, Roy will not be stupid to fight with Jaylen Brown, he just wanted to test Jaylen Brown's ability with the ball just now, and then he will not waste his physical strength to harden this "black King Kong".

Roy shouted, and a tall and thin man suddenly blocked Jaylen Brown's way, it was Zhou Qi's blocking, just a second of interval, Roy shot in the vacant position, or an accurate hollow, 51:60, the score difference entered within ten points.

"Jaylen Brown is in trouble, if he keeps being blown up like Roy, his mock draft ranking will probably drop a lot." Scouts on the sidelines saw clearly the confrontation between Jaylen Brown and Roy, who was completely superior to Jaylen Brown in terms of tactical acumen and personal skills, and was also a hot rookie this year.

Jaylen Brown certainly knows that he is going to finish like this, and he can't help but go crazy when he thinks about his draft prospects.

The next time he attacked, he wanted to pass the ball and go straight to Roy, and Jaylen Brown, who was aggrieved, impulsive, and forgetful, had long forgotten the instructions of "Old Coach K".

"Come on, Jay, let me see what you're capable of, your strength won't be blown out, right?" Roy is still adding fuel to the fire.

Jaylen Brown was annoyed, he was out of control.

Like a beast, Jaylen Brown saw the gap and accelerated violently into the Chinese team's penalty area.

However, what awaits him is a bag of three people.

Roy, Zhou Qi, and Yuan Shuai locked all Jaylen Brown's breakthrough routes and ball routes.

What the? Shashewski responded to the call, this is exactly the "joint defense trap" he laid for Roy, but he didn't expect Roy to use it on Jaylen Brown.

Roy just now, it was the deliberate sale of the flaw to lure Jaylen Brown into the trap, he understands that the "2-1-2 joint defense" arranged by Coach Fan can achieve the effect of "old Coach K" and "3-2 joint defense" as long as it is slightly changed, and he is the flexible chess piece.

Facing Zhou Qi in front of him, the original coach on the side, and Roy chasing after him, Jaylen Brown couldn't help but panic, he couldn't see the players around him, and in the chaos, he reluctantly threw the ball.

A big hat fell from the sky, Zhou Qi covered the ball, Roy got the rebound and pushed forward, the defensive formation of the American team was completely chaotic, and before the American team players were in place, Roy chased after him outside the three-point line is a shot.

Hand up, ball in, net down.

54:60, only 6 points short!

Shashewski reluctantly asked for a timeout......
