Chapter 104: The Two Trump Cards of Rivalry
The high school game between Chino Gang High School and Justin Sina High School is destined to go down in the history of American high school basketball and become a nightmare for Josh Jackson, the future NBA star.
After 5 minutes of the game, the whole taste of the game completely changed.
What a crazy spectacle it was, and no matter which player at Justin Sina High School controlled the ball, there were bound to be two horrible guys coming up to grab it, Lonzo Ball and Roy.
Needless to say, no one on Justin Sina's varsity team can beat the defense of these two, not even Josh Jackson, who is close to Lonzo Ball, yes, even if you look at the whole of California, and even the entire American high school class, I am afraid that no one can withstand the combined defense of these two.
The game immediately turned into a carnage, and Justin Sina's side of High School struggled to break through with the ball or transfer the ball, and the mistakes naturally increased.
Lonzo Ball and Roy take turns performing, dunking, three-pointers, going straight to the box, or messing up opponents.
The scores of the two teams were quickly pulled apart, while the statistics of Roy and Lonzo were getting closer and closer.
Lonzo immediately spotted another fatal problem, why was the situation wrong if he didn't pass the ball to Roy?
Not to mention that Hopkins will make mistakes, why are his two younger brothers also passing the ball to Roy?
Just as he was thinking, LaMelo gave another serve directly to Roy, and Lonzo finally couldn't help it, he yelled at LaMelo: "LaMelo, what are you doing?" Have you forgotten how I took care of you before the game? ”
"Lonzo, I know, of course I remember, but I don't know why, as soon as that dirt bun comes to ask for the ball, I sometimes can't help but pass it to him." LaMelo couldn't argue, and now he really couldn't even wash himself by jumping into the Pacific Ocean.
Just now, Roy ran over and shouted "pass", and LaMelo involuntarily sent the ball over.
"This guy must have witchcraft." LaMelo was aggrieved.
But Roy knows that this is not some kind of witchcraft, this is his characteristic "coach on the field", and the effect is a 50% probability of letting his teammates on the field act according to his command.
Of course, this characteristic is not invincible, Roy can't command Lonzo, it seems that the probability of commanding teammates is based on comprehensive strength, and for players whose strength is higher than his own, the coach on the field doesn't seem to be very effective.
In the midst of the race between Lonzo and Roy, the first half was over, with a monstrous score of 68:30, which no longer felt like an ordinary high school game.
Head coach Steve Barker wasn't in much of the mood at half-time, and while the game looked set to be won, the team's troubles were escalating.
Just now, Old Ball came to him and yelled at him, asking him to replace Roy from the field, Buck was originally a soft persimmon, he was not Old Ball's opponent, and after a few efforts, he couldn't resist.
But just as he was about to make a substitution after he finished the old Ball, another pair of sharp eyes on the other side of the court stared at him, and it was Abdul-Jabbar. Before the game started, Abdul-Jabbar took care of Buck, and he didn't want to replace Roy easily in this game, if he did, then with Abdul-Jabbar's influence in California, Buck would definitely not have good fruit to eat.
What kind of crime have I suffered, to be treated like this, Buck was very helpless, he put his hands on his chest, paced back and forth, thinking of the depression, and couldn't help but touch his nourished head.
At halftime for 15 minutes, he couldn't say a word at all, and he felt like his thinning hair was going to be ripped out by himself.
What to do in the second half? Why don't you continue to fight like this?.
Buck felt that he was completely out of control of the situation, he could neither stand the pressure of Old Ball nor offend Abdul-Jabbar, so he could only let it go and simply not adjust any personnel.
So, with the connivance of Barker, the sixteen minutes of the second half of the game completely fell into a frenzy, and the crazy Lonzo and the crazy Roy frantically refreshed their own statistics.
Here Lonzo just completed a breakthrough, that side Roy must return a three-point in the next round, here Lonzo made a successful steal, and that side Roy grabbed the ball and blocked a big counterattack.
Sometimes, even for a defensive rebound, two people are not compelling, fighting bravely, and people who don't know the situation think that one of the two of them is wearing the wrong team uniform.
The game got quite interesting, and with five minutes left in the game, Justin Sheena's side finally got tired of it, and they replaced all their main players, and the game went into "garbage time".
But even so, neither Lonzo nor Roy were willing to leave the game early, and the competition between the two continued until the last second of the match.
The bell rings and the game is over.
The final score was 142:50, Justin Sina lost high school without even leaving his underwear, and before the TV reporter could enter the court, Josh Jackson and his teammates escaped from "hell" in embarrassment.
Lonzo Power and Roy were quickly surrounded by a large crowd of reporters and fans, each occupying a corner of the pitch, as they did in the game, each on their own.
It was an epic contest, with both Lonzo Ball and Roy contributing breathtaking stats.
Lonzo Ball played 40 minutes and finished with 65 points, 18 rebounds, eight blocks and 10 steals.
Roy played 40 minutes and finished with 65 points, 19 rebounds, 10 blocks and eight steals.
"It was I who won the rebound." Roy made no secret of his pride as he walked past Lonzo, feeling that the victor was himself.
"I think it's debatable, at least two of your rebounds can be counted as team rebounds, so it's supposed to be me." Lonzo's counterattack showed no signs of weakness.
Of course, this scene has not escaped the eyes of reporters and the lens of photographers, and I believe that the evening news will be quite exciting.
Regardless, the game broke a bunch of records, and it was the first time in the history of the California High School Basketball Tournament that a team has two players who scored more than 60 points and had a triple-double at the same time.
Although they were not convinced by each other, Lonzo Ball and Roy made history together.
On the other side of the pitch, Ball Sr. had already exploded, and he was very upset with Buck's command, very, very dissatisfied, and he was almost riding on Buck's head and picking up his poor hair.
"Steve, how did you promise me? Why did the yellow man stay on the pitch in the second half? Laval Bauer held out his index finger and yelled at Buck.
The honest Buck could only persuade: "Laval, you have to understand, this is an official game, and I can't replace a main player who has played well for no reason." And you can see as well, we won, we won by 92 points, how good Lonzo played. ”
"Do you think you can't win the game without that yellow man on the field? Steve, I have to tell you, Lonzo is the only heart of the team, and I don't allow anyone to challenge him. Old Ball was so angry that his fingers were about to poke Buck's face, and Buck was very dissatisfied with such a rude behavior.
"That's enough, Laval, I'm the head coach of the team, you can't dictate to me like that."
Buck still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, he and Old Ball went toe-for-tat, that Old Ball was a fuel-efficient lamp, he had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Well, my head coach Steve Barker, since you are so protective of that dirt bun, then I will now officially inform you that Lonzo, Liangello and LaMelo will be out of the team for the rest of the game due to physical discomfort, and they will not be in your team until you realize who is the real heart of the team."
After Old Ball finished speaking, he walked away without looking back, his writhing big ass making Steve Buck extremely disgusting.
The three Bauer brothers want to boycott? They are the three main forces of the team, thinking of this, Buck couldn't help but regret a little, he looked at Roy from afar, the next game, is it up to him?
