Chapter 10: Slam Dunk

β€œNo!!!!!!!!!!” Coach Dick yelled in frustration from the sidelines, and Randolph was eager to give himself a big mouth.

"It's okay, it's okay, we still have time, God gives me a chance to kill! Hahahaha, in the first game, he led the team to a 50-point reversal and a lore, and now my position as the first person in Nevada high school is secure, and Bennett's guy can't play this kind of data! Hoggist didn't care, so let's not get too nervous.

Bernard's free throw shooting skills were really bad, and he didn't hit the free throws, but he actually grabbed the rebound before Randolph and Harris! He shot straight under the basket, but the ball was smashed down by Randolph's big hand. The ball was still in Bernard's hand, he shook it for a moment, shook Randolph, and then jumped up to shoot, causing Randolph to foul again! Thankfully, at the same time, Haugist came out of the stab and covered the ball, preventing Bernard from playing 2+1 again.

The referee motioned for Bernard to take two free throws, and Bernard stepped on the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, rubbed the basketball, and threw the first free throw, the ball smashed high on the front of the basket, landed on the edge of the rebound, and then fell back into the basket. Everyone on and off the field was deeply impressed by Bernard's shit luck. At 82:83, the Buccaneers took the lead again.

The second free throw, Bernard did the same, but the ball smashed on the front of the basket and bounced out, Bernard once again grabbed the ball before everyone else to dial the ball to the outside, this key ball was caught by Robinson steadily, there are 15 seconds left in the game, the Pirates lead by 1 point!

Robinson dribbled in the high post, Hoggist pressed up, Robinson was unhurried and threw the ball to Vitesse who was standing on the outside of the weak side, but Horgist's long arm cut off the passing route and poked the ball away, and the ball rolled towards the Pirates halfcourt, and Hougist desperately chased after it. The crowd on the sidelines began to count down the seconds!

β€œ10!”

β€œ9!”

β€œ8!”

β€œ7!”

Hoggist picked up the basketball before Robinson!

β€œ6!”

β€œ5!”

Oh my God, what does Hoggist want to do? In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Haugist threw the ball to the rebound!

β€œ4!”

β€œ3!”

The ball bounced back on the rebound, and Hoggist jumped high to catch it.

β€œ2!”

β€œ1!” As the crowd shouted 1, Hoggist smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

BuzzerBeater! The buzzer then sounds, and the game is over!

The Spartans beat the Pirates 84:83!

The audience was boiling, the whole Spartan team rushed into the arena and hugged Hoggist tightly, and the spectators outside the stadium also poured into the stadium to surround the Spartan players.

Horgist could have easily scored two points in the last shot, but he was afraid of giving the Pirate more time to regenerate the details, and suddenly thought of revisiting the highlights of the previous All-Star a few days ago, the most exciting of which was Maddy's light and imaginative self-toss. Throwing the ball and hitting the board and catching the ball and dunking by yourself is both gorgeous and can consume a few more seconds.

So there was this wonderful dunk, which will surely go down in the history of Cimaron Memorial Middle School, and even in the history of Nevada high school basketball.

Hogist was picked up and tossed into the air again after a comeback win over Bennett. Old Helian sat on the bench and slapped his thigh, applauding again and again; Candace and Mrs. Bi hugged each other excitedly, and Mr. Bi rushed into the crowd early in the morning with a vuvuzula.

It wasn't until he was so dizzy that he was put down by everyone, and he walked to the locker room in a daze surrounded by the crowd, and the teachers and students of Cimaron chanted his name all the way, and even a few beautiful girls rushed up and kissed him on the cheek.

Back in the locker room, Hougist shook his head, and his teammates were still immersed in the excitement of the big comeback. Hougist walked up to Coach Dick and bowed deeply, and everyone fell silent, ready to hear what Hoggist had to say.

"Coach, I know you're teaching us how to play, but in the future, can you please stop using the method of pretending to be forced by five up and five down, and refrigerating the main force? It's really tiring to chase points like this, what if I fail in the end? You are acting irresponsibly against the team's record! ”

"I'm doing this out of absolute trust in your abilities, don't you think I've won! Don't worry, I'm in control! Although Coach Dick said so, he also scolded those substitutes half to death in his heart, and the veteran players of three or four years are still such rookies, and they can actually make people play a 50-point difference, which scares his father to death, thanks to Hoggist! Otherwise, I will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the history of Cimaron today, and I will not be able to turn over! It seems that I really didn't mistake Hoggist, he really is a buildable material!

Coach Dick took out the technical statistics table and handed it to Haugist, "You guys each look at your own stats!" Next game, next weekend, we fly to Carson City to play away, train from Monday to Thursday next week, rest on Friday afternoon, recover well, and try to play away in full mental condition! ”

After saying that, Coach Dick walked out of the locker room quickly, after being a coach for so many years, he almost pretended to fail in front of these high school students today, Coach Dick couldn't hold his face, and he slipped away after assigning next week's tasks.

Hogist picked up the stats table, and his own stats came into view, with 40 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 7 steals and 5 blocks.

"I didn't get two doubles in the first game! What a pity! Hougist threw the stats sheet into his chair.

Joseph picked it up and saw that he actually scored 21 points! "Boss, I'm really up to 20! 6 3-pointers also played a 2+1! ”

"That's it, didn't you notice that 'that person' looked at you and his eyes changed!" Hoggist said proudly: "It's definitely no problem for you to ask her out tomorrow!" ”

"Wait! Boss, your stats ......" Joseph read his 21 points before noticing Hoogist's stats, "40+7+7+5+5! This is obviously god-level data! I've never heard of a high school student getting this kind of statistic in their first game! And we've only played half the game! ”

"What! Scored 40 points in the first half? Randolph leaned over in surprise.

"No, I only scored 37 points in the second half, and I scored a three-pointer in the first quarter!" Haugist corrected.

"That's an exaggeration! If you rotate normally, you can't play five doubles! Justin was amazed.

Hogist shook his head with a smile: "Today is because of chasing points, I have to be full of firepower, if I change the usual game, I definitely don't have to play so hard, I take a 20+10 estimate I can easily win." Let's have a chance in the future, watch the game, and try to make each of you the scoring champion! ”

"That's so kind! Teammates like you, please give me a dozen! Harris exclaimed.

"Hahahaha......" The locker room is back to the pre-match lightness and happiness.

……

On Monday morning, when many people couldn't get out of bed, Hoggist had been practicing shooting at the nearby basketball court for an hour.

Early morning shooting practice is generally only Hoogist himself. Joseph, the younger brother who follows Ruying, is also the kind of person who has to sleep lazily in the morning, and Joseph does not have the pressure of a basketball superstar above his head.

After hitting his 50th hit, Hoggist sat on the ground. The young man is still recovering quickly, he played two high-intensity games yesterday, came home with a sore body, took a shower and fell asleep, and this morning he didn't feel anything unusual in his body when he shot the basketball.

After finishing the shooting practice in the morning, Hougist returned home, and the elder Helian had already brought back breakfast when he came home from work, and his mother Candace still didn't get up. Father and son could only communicate quietly at home.

Old Helian went straight to work after watching the game yesterday, and before he had time to have a good chat with Hogist, the two sat at the breakfast table, Hogist was munching on a smoked fish sandwich, and Old Helian took the trouble to poke the fried egg on the plate with a fork, "It seems that Coach Dick is right, you are really a basketball talent!" In time, I believe you will be the person with the highest level of basketball in China! Even the highest level of basketball among the yellow people"

Hoggist was very puzzled when he heard this, quickly chewed and swallowed all the sandwiches in his mouth and asked, "Let's not talk about the Chinese, can I still be considered a yellow race?" They often say that the principle of a drop of blood, my curly hair is a sign of a black man! ”

Old Helian smiled: "A drop of blood is the innate arrogance and prejudice of white people, a kind of racial discrimination, you don't have to pay attention to it, besides, in our China, you not only have half of Chinese blood, but also understand and identify with Chinese culture, and you will be recognized by everyone." Maybe you will have a chance to play for the Chinese team! Although the elder Helian was smuggled to the United States and got a green card, he still cares about the motherland.

"But we're both American citizens! Will I still have a chance? Hougist asked.

"It depends, when you become famous, the country will contact you, after all, there is still a big gap between the basketball level of the motherland and the United States, as long as you show the world that you have the ability of the NBA level, I believe the country will take the initiative to contact you to provide you with a solution!" Old Helian instructed: "Go to school quickly after eating, don't be late." ”

Hougist hurriedly finished eating, grabbed his school bag and ran to the school stop. Although he has never been to China, he has been very interested in the ancient and mysterious ancient oriental country in his father's mouth since he was a child, and after talking to his father this morning, he is even more yearning.

When he came to the school, Hoggist met Joseph waiting for him at the school gate, and Joseph asked him curiously, "Did you go to 'that' last night?" Why are you still so hilarious? After saying that, he shook his head.

"Don't talk nonsense, who did you learn these things from?" Hougist was startled and scolded Joseph harshly.

"Who else do you need to learn from? Isn't that often the kind of scene played on TV?" Joseph pouted.

"In the morning, my dad said that I would have the opportunity to play for the Chinese team in the future!" Hoggist excitedly showed off.

"Really?" Joseph was genuinely happy for Haugist, but felt sad for himself.

Haugist understood what the reason was and comforted: "Don't worry, the motherland will be reunified sooner or later, the Taiwanese are Chinese, and when the time comes, we will return to the motherland together to serve!" ”

Joseph was very moved, and his depressed mood also recovered, and joked: "Forget it, my physical fitness and technical level are almost at the end, and I don't think I will be able to enter the school team when I get to college, and I promise to cheer you on the sidelines!" ”

The two chatted and walked into the school building, and Haugist opened the locker, and snowflakes of letters floated out of the cabinet.

"This ......," Hoggist was dumbfounded when he saw this.

Joseph picked up a few and looked at them, handed them to Haugist, and said, "These are all love letters written to you by female classmates!" ”

"Is my popularity so high after a fight?" Haugist was secretly proud in his heart. With so many love letters, it feels like an ancient Chinese emperor choosing a concubine, so enjoyable!

Hougist picked up the letters from all over the place, sorted them out, and filled them with a school bag.

"Boss, have you read so many letters? Would you like to share some with me and help you take a look? Joseph laughed from the side.

"Why are you interested in these girls too? So what about Vitra of the cheerleaders? Hoggist asked Joseph with bad intentions.

"Vitra? I'm also the main player who averages 21 points per game, of course, she has to take the initiative to confess to me! Joseph began to brag.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and before Joseph could finish speaking, someone in front of him slammed the cabinet door shut. The door closed, revealing Vitra's coquettish face.
