Chapter 91: The Big Man
When it comes to playing basketball, you have to admire the innate talent of black people.
They have the lowest body fat content of any race, as well as the highest height-to-weight ratio, which makes the muscles and tendons of black athletes much stronger than everyone else.
If it's reflected on the basketball court, it's more speed, higher bounce, and more power.
This is undoubtedly illustrated by Liangelo, who is a mixed black and white man, superior in strength and slightly inferior in speed to the average black man.
Roy soon realized that it might not be a good idea to go head-to-head with the big man.
There is an old Chinese saying: "A good man does not suffer immediate losses".
Winning is the last word, and this is not a boxing ring or a wrestling ring, you have to fight to the death in strength.
How to deal with this big man?
Big? The confrontation between Lu Maoyun and Wang Jie suddenly appeared in Roy's mind, after Lu Maoyun returned to the team and Wang Jie revoked the punishment, this confrontation with Huobao was the daily repertoire of the basketball team of Ya'an Middle School.
Wang Jie is the big man in Lu Maoyun's mouth, and he can knock Lu Maoyun over once or twice in almost every day against Wang Jie, but even so, it is Wang Jie who suffers more, and Lu Maoyun has a unique way to fight against power players......
I have to say that some of the little tricks on the wild court are still very practical.
Roy had to thank Lu Maoyun for teaching him these little tricks, which Jordan and Abdul-Jabbar couldn't teach Roy.
For example, the current situation.
Liangelo played his temper to launch the third attack, or a tank-like low-level crushing, "bang" can't tell this is the first time the two of them have collided in just two minutes, Roy was not knocked away, Liangelo grinned, stuck out his tongue, he was really like a beast with legs and joy, I saw his cheeks bulging, and he slammed into it with all his strength.
Seeing history repeat itself, but at the moment when the two were about to make contact, Roy suddenly flashed smartly.
That's right, this is Lu Maoyun's unique skill against Wang Jie - flash! Leangelo didn't know that Roy would make this move, he couldn't control his 100-kilogram, big body with Hot Wheels, his center of gravity was lost, his steps were chaotic, a flutter, "bang", and he hit the basket solidly.
Unmistakable walking, unmistakable pain.
"You kid actually shrunk." Liangelo who got up cursed, he only felt a tightness and pain in his chest, but he couldn't do anything about Roy, the basketball rules didn't stipulate that he couldn't avoid the opponent's physical contact.
"But you're still going to die ugly." With trash talk, Liangelo viciously threw the ball to Roy.
It's finally Roy's turn to attack, and judging from the defense just now, this Liangilo is a "swingman at the front" with outstanding physical fitness, who not only has the shooting ability of a guard, but also has the athletic energy of a forward.
The "Swingman" is a difficult player to deal with on the court, but it may be a lot easier to deal with a "Swingman" with a mediocre player.
Roy started his role as an "all-around shooting guard", and his "outside offensive ability" and "physical ability" have risen sharply.
He unleashed his trademark triple threat, shaking the ball with both hands, and a distraught Riangilo lost his defensive position at this point.
He wanted to break the ball, he wanted to cut off the ball directly from Roy's hand, how could this be possible, Roy saw the opportunity, and accelerated with a kick to get rid of it lightly, Liangelo couldn't catch up with Roy's pace at all, so he could only watch Roy make a layup, 1:2.
A simple goal made Roy understand that Liangelo was a player who was not very good at defending.
Indeed, Liangelo is not good at defense, not because he has no talent for defense, but in high school basketball education in the United States, defense is not emphasized, in order to cultivate children's interest in basketball, the focus of high school basketball is on the tempering of offensive skills, which is why high school basketball games in the United States can frequently play super-large scores.
Liangelo can't defend, so that's easy.
Roy was full of firepower, dazzling dribbling, or changing direction or turning, the slippery Leangelo was completely gone, and using the advantage of agility and speed, Roy scored four points in one go, 4:2.
Like LaMelo before him, Liangelo lost his temper.
Roy really wanted to walk up to comfort him at this time: "Dude, it's not your fault, this is the difference in strength." ”
Liangiroko didn't mean to give up, he was still cheering himself up, "Come on, stinky boy, come and have a head-to-head confrontation with me, I'll let you know how good I am." ”
Roy didn't understand what Leangelo was saying, but he was tired of his breakthrough, and he was going to try his hand while he was ahead, taking advantage of the role mode of "all-around shooting guard".
As he wished, Roy jumped and shot in front of Liangelo, Liangelo saw the timing, he was like a tiger out of the cage, and threw his body out, but this was all within Roy's calculations, one leaned back, pulled away, and one shot, very comfortable.
The ball slashed over Liangelo's head and across the basketball arena like a precision-guided intercontinental missile, landing steadily into the basket.
With an exclamation, Liangelo also lost!
The ace point guard of the Chino Gang High School basketball team actually lost to an unknown Asian kid?
The other members of the basketball team who slowly arrived at the court were all aware of the breaking news, and their reactions were uniform, how could this be?
If it was Kim Se-hoon who lost, then they could still believe it, but now it is the team's "second leader" Liangelo Bauer who is losing.
That score-cutting monster who played in the high school league like a game, actually lost in heads-up?
But that's just the way it is, and at this time, the sad Liangelo and the equally depressed LaMelo are exchanging something in the corner of the pitch.
On the other side of the pitch, the team's head coach Steve Barker arrived, and he was talking to two Asians, and under Kim Se-hoon's identification, everyone knew the tall Chinese who defeated Liangelo.
"Head Coach Buck, I still want to ask you to be accommodating, after all, we came from China so far away just to get Roy to play basketball, and you should have heard that he just beat your team's leading scorer." Su Dong was trying to recommend Roy to the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Mr. Su, I understand your feelings, but our basketball team completed the selection of newcomers as early as last week, and it is obviously not in line with the team's rules to recruit players now."
This middle-aged man with a mustache is Steve Barker, the head coach of the Chino Gang High School basketball team, and just now in his office, Su Dong had already introduced Roy to him about playing in the United States, but how could he look at the nameless Roy.
It wasn't until he came to the court and heard about Roy's deeds that he felt that things were not simple, but they could not impress Buck by not being simple.
"I understand your distress, but you also want to make the Chinogang High School basketball team stronger, recruiting Roy is a choice you will never regret......" Su Dong originally wanted to say, "Even the goods like No. 14 (Kim Se-hoon) can be selected for your school team, why can't Roy", but when he thought about it later, the impact of saying this was too wide, so he took the words back into his stomach.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, you may not know our team well, no matter who comes and who leaves, our star can only be Lonzo Ball, and as long as he is there, our team can be invincible." Buck is still stubborn, and in his eyes, the rest of the team combined may not be as valuable as Lonzo Ball.
"So, do you think Roy is inferior to Lonzo Bauer?"
"Mr. Su, I'm not targeting Roy, I just want to say that in front of Lonzo, players of the same age in California, the United States, and even the world are not worth mentioning."
"Lonzo is here!" said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Su Dong and Buck were still debating which was stronger or weaker between Roy and Lonzo Bauer, and Lonzo Bauer came.
He received text messages from his younger brothers on the way.
"Which guy is kicking the gym?" Lonzo Bauer looked furious.
