Chapter 188: Tempting Each Other
Downs was naturally very annoyed in his heart, and wanted to reprimand Booker a few words, but Booker was already working very hard to defend, but his height was not as good as Haugist, his speed was not as good as Haugist, his flexibility was not as good as Haugist, and it didn't help to have defensive enthusiasm.
The most annoying thing is that Alex also reminded them in the first half that the whole team of single-defense Haugist will be given in vain, and Alex, who is now sitting on the sidelines and resting, must be secretly proud! Downs thought to himself.
I have to say that Downs is a bit of a villain, although Alex is a little cowardly, but after all, he is still a member of the team, how can he want the team to be blown up by Hougist? At this moment, he was also anxious as he sat on the sidelines.
"It's really not good to defend like this! Let's wrap up the Hogist! Downs discussed with his teammates.
"But in addition to Witherspoon, who is your main defense, the other people are also very accurate!" Andrew said he said this partly because it was true, but also because he didn't want to make trouble on the defensive end.
"Then I'll do it! Now the team has the best defense against me! This is also a fateful battle that I will encounter sooner or later after I know him! After last year's McDonald's All-Star, almost all the high school graduates in the class of '14 took Hoggist as the direction to strive for, and those talented players who were not willing to be relegated to others regarded Hoggist as a goal to surpass. Downs knows that he will have to face his own demons sooner or later, and today Hoggist can be regarded as solving a lot of doubts for himself, he always has some bottlenecks that cannot be broken through when he is groping for the super god mode, it seems that this is really a dead end, and now his strength has reached the level of Hoggist All-Star Game, and he will fight with Hoggist with all his strength today, but to see how much he has improved with his so-called hard work.
"That's going to affect your performance on the offensive end!" Booker said worriedly.
"So you have to do something on the offensive end, now the two of us are dealing with Hoggist alone at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, if we can't beat him, we will really be inferior." Downs said lightly.
"I'm trying to defend their two inside lines, but Carl, you need to come back in time to make up for it!" Marcus also stepped up to take a stand.
"Then let's get on!" Now Booker can only let it go.
After a short period of deliberation, the Kentucky team rushed to get the ball out before the service overtime violation, Andrew dribbled through the half, Booker and Downs did the same, and continued to cover without the ball, but this time after Downs blocked Haugist, the ball passed to Booker, Booker received the ball and shot a three-pointer, hit a strong shot, overtook the score, and temporarily stabilized the situation.
"That's it, some hit!" Booker gave Downs a high-five.
"Calm down, don't get too excited, it's up to us to defend next!" Although Downs was excited, he had already maintained a trace of calm.
Hougist thought that Towns was going to attack above his head again, until Booker received the ball and quickly shot into this three-point shot, Hougist reacted that Downs was enlightened, ready to attack with Booker, he must not be able to defend two people at the same time, and Turner's defense can not expand to the outside, if you want to deal with Downs and Booker's off-ball cover, you can only rely on yourself to find a way to avoid the "wall" of Downs.
The offensive routine has changed, and the defense should also change, right? I guess they're going to start wrapping me up, I just don't know who's going to get a chance, but don't be Ryan - who can't score except for a dunk - Witherspoon! Hogist guessed.
When Hougist dribbled to the top of the Kentucky half-court arc, Towns confirmed his judgment and poor Witherspoon was thrown inside. Lee stood under the basket while guarding Witherspoon and Turner. Hougist doesn't think this is a well-known Marcus. Lee was able to defend Turner and Witherspoon at the same time, and even he may not be able to withstand Turner, the previous unsuccessful inside play was entirely due to Downs's strong ability to supplement and assist in defense, but now Downs is dizzy and actually came to wrap me, at this time, when will you not give the inside performance a chance?
Although Witherspoon's offensive ability is really amazing, Hoggist believes that Turner will help Witherspoon finish the offense, but he still needs to help them again, so Haugist pretended to be unsteady on the dribble, staggered and dribbled near the halfway line, Towns and Booker were overjoyed, forced up and tried to steal Haugist.
Seeing that Downsley was dazed, he actually followed him almost to the center circle, so he jumped up and shook the ball hard with both hands, and threw the ball towards the paint. The ball smashed into Witherspoon's arms like a heavy punch, although Witherspoon has a single attack and poor offensive efficiency, but others are not rigid, knowing Ettner's ability, in Marcus. It was not easy for Li to grab a rebound on his head, so no matter how ugly his technical movements were, he directly turned over and shot with a zombie hook hand.
With Witherspoon still seven or eight feet away from the basket, Marcus simply waved his arm at Witherspoon harasserly and turned back to settle with Turner. Downs saw Hougist's difficult pass and immediately understood that all Hougist did was to turn the tiger away, so he hurried back to the basket, but there was still time, although Turner was stuck behind by Marcus, but he was tall and arm-long, he just relaxed a little above Marcus's head, and made up for Witherspoon's unreliable hook shot into the basket.
"It was my negligence that fell for his plan!" Downs said to himself: "The farther he retreats, the lower the shooting percentage will inevitably be, and no matter how fast I move, I can't match his passing speed, so I can't go too far from the bag, and you should defend him alone 3 feet beyond the three-point line!" ”
"Understood!" Booker nodded.
Looking back, Downs and Booker still wanted to repeat the old trick, Hougist chose to chase after the back, Booker cut through Downs's cover and received the ball and was ready to shoot three points again, jumping in the air but saw Hougist coming first, and when he went around Downs to cover, he was still behind, but after jumping around the front, the long arm had interfered with Booker's line.
Booker threw the ball to an open cut Towns before he hit the ground, and by the time Haugist landed, Downs had already used a step-back jumper to throw the ball in, which also caused a foul on Turner's beater.
Turner clapped his hands in annoyance, and Hougist stepped forward and patted him on the back as a sign of comfort. Downsga hit an easy free throw to put the Kentucky lead to two points. McCaw asked anxiously: "Boss, just now you said that you were only 1 point behind, let me not worry, the game is still long, but now instead of leading, it is 2 points behind!" ”
Hoggist smiled: "Why are there so many games with a big lead that you can't stand even falling behind by 2 points?" ”
"Of course! We're twice as far behind by the score! I'm so anxious! McCaw's anxious appearance made everyone laugh.
"Because the opponent has scored in every round! Idiot! Turner scolded.
Hoggist suddenly reacted, "Where is our defensive oppression?" Why is the opponent's running tactics and passing so calm? Rassad, be more fierce with Andrew later, don't let him pass the ball easily and force him to break through! We have to speed up again! ”
Everyone nodded, and as soon as Hoggist dribbled to the front court and got close to the three-point line, Downs came up, and Hoggist immediately retreated, but Downs stopped again. Hoggist said secretly in his heart: "Okay, you Downs, relying on your large defensive area, you actually take care of me and Witherspoon at the same time in this way, okay, I've been playing with you for so long, it's time for you to see my true strength, this more than half a year of hellish core strength training is not a joke, just supplementing protein and eating fish and shrimp is enough to fill a swimming pool." ”
Quickly made up his mind, Haugist suddenly accelerated the dribble and rushed to the three-point line, Downs hurriedly moved to the line, Hougist made an emergency stop in front of the three-point line to worship Buddha, and directly lit Booker, Hougist instantly lowered the center of gravity and continued to rush to the inside, at this time Downs had not yet arrived, seeing that Hougist easily passed Booker again, he lowered the center of gravity to make up for the defense, trying to delay the speed of Hougist's breakthrough and buy time for Booker to return to defense.
But Hoggist had no intention of slowing down at all, he changed his direction slightly and squeezed Downs to continue to charge, Downs leaned sideways against Howgist and continued to exert force to slow him down, but Howgist was like a high-speed train, hanging Downs was still full of power at every step, and after entering the three-second zone, ignoring Downs's interference, he picked up the ball and started to jump high, Downs naturally would not give up easily, and he also jumped up and stretched out his arms to prepare for the block.
Horgist held the ball in his right hand, held the ball and stretched his right arm to the limit, leaning on the left of Downs and flying to the basket. In order to avoid Downs' block, Hoggist pulled the ball to the far end, Downs had no longer than he could do with his long arms, so he had to wait for Hoggist's shot to try to block, but Hoggist didn't dunk with his arms until he glided directly below the basket, but Downs couldn't do anything through the basket.
"This, Hougist carried Downs and flew up for a dunk? Am I right? The audience on the sidelines whispered to each other, basically exclamating around this physical contact.
"Downs didn't seem to move when he hit him in the back just now, that's too exaggerated, right? Hoggist doesn't look very strong! This figure is not as good as rookie LeBron, but he can carry a big man like Downs! "Someone recalled the scene just now.
"You're too demanding, I think the rookie LeBron is perfect enough, and now LeBron is a little too strong. If Hougist can train with that kind of figure, coupled with his hand work, I am afraid that he will be an all-round supergiant like LeBron! ”
Even Downs looked at Hoggist in surprise, "Why is your strength so strong, much stronger than last time?" ”
"This is the power that I have cultivated step by step, and the real power that can be exerted no matter how good or bad I am." Hougist's words were resounding.
Kentucky attacked again, Andrew slowly dribbled across the half-court, waiting for his teammates to run off the ball, but when he just stepped on the halfway line, Rashad was on the halfway line. Vaughn pressed up, in the face of this sudden high position to press Andrew was a little scrambling, he hurriedly raised the ball to find the receiver, but he didn't expect Vaughn's hands to also grab the ball, and the ball was thrown out under the four-handed fight. The ball rolled in the direction of Haugist and Booker, who fought with Booker for the floor ball, Booker was slightly shorter and closer to the ball, and he was about to get the ball before Haugist, but Hoggist came and slid on the ground, poked the ball out before Booker picked it up, and then got up and chased the ball.
Booker had already bent over his knees to pick up the ball, but after the ball was poked out by Haugist, he was a step slower to get up and chase after it.
Hougist picked up the ball first and dribbled it quickly. Because Vaughn was ready to sneak attack directly after Andrew lost the ball, Andrew also had to follow Vaughn back to the backcourt early.
Vaugist saw that Hougist grabbed the ball on the floor and began to go fast, so he moved to the flank, trying to contain Andrew's defense, but Andrew saw the menacing Hoggist, and he didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he actually stood still in the three-second zone and prepared to make Hougist foul with the ball.
Instead of making a stop-and-go jumper, Howgist didn't intend to change direction or step or pass, but instead moved forward with more and more difficulty, dribbling to meet Andrew and rushing forward.
Andrew's scalp was numb at this time, and he couldn't help but regret it, Haugist looked like a wild bison, and even Carl's confrontation on the side was pushed away just now, if he was hit like this, he wouldn't end well. Is it really cost-effective to stand here and risk your life in exchange for an offensive foul on Haugist?
But he was already standing here, all the cameras were pointed at him, and the fans of the whole country were watching him in front of the TV, and if he ran away now, he would lose the face of the whole family!
Seeing that Hoggist was getting closer and closer, Andrew turned his heart and forcibly suppressed his desire to escape, like a warrior who regarded death as if he were home, waiting for the final collision with Hoggist.
Hoggist is coming! Andrew seems to have felt the strong wind brought by the high-speed movement of Hoogist, and he is still very scared, what should I do?
"Ahh Andrew screamed loudly in order to embolden himself.
However, Hoggist always had a contemptuous smile on his face, and when he had just stepped into the three-point line and was still 7 feet away from Andrew, he directly collected the ball and jumped, jumped high, jumped straight over Andrew's head, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
Hougist only scored five points in this ball, after all, at the McDonald's Dunk Contest last year, Hougist was already able to leap over Payne to complete the crotch change dunk.
