Chapter 107: Fighting Nation
Bennett turned his head to look at the referee, who made a clear gesture to the technical table that the No. 15 offensive push had been fouled. I'm the 15th, so the one I just hit and flew should be Hogist, right?
Bennett thought back to the scene just now, and rushed to the Spurs basket to catch the ball and dunk, but Hoggist retreated to the middle, and he was overjoyed, feeling that Hoggist would definitely not be able to stop him with his current body. Then he accelerated to the basket, but Haugist in front of him had his back to him, his eyes seemed to be staring at Alonzo. Kee, who seems to be ready to block his layup from behind? But then Hoggist seems to have slowed down? That's right, he just slowed down, and he didn't brake sharply, and just knocked him out! I didn't leave enough safety distance in the rear car and there was a rear-end collision, and I was fully responsible for the rear car!
But Hougist is still chasing and defending and is not facing the ball carrier, so why slow down? Did he deliberately want to make me push people foul? Bennett recalls that Hougie Stert would rather cut off his finger than block his dunk, this madman could have done such a thing!
Bennett saw that Hougist still didn't get up, and said to himself, "My body is much stronger than before, I shouldn't have hurt him, right?"
Hougist was deliberately waiting for Bennett to hit him, but he wasn't really ready to sacrifice himself with his mantis arm as a car, he slowed down and was ready to unload the force, and when Bennett hit his back, he quietly rushed forward with force under his own feet, stumbled a few steps and rolled on the spot twice. Because of this, Haugist was rear-ended by Bennett on the three-point line at the top of the arc, but the whole person fell out of the bottom line.
Although he had lost some of his strength, he still felt as if his back had been hit by a sledgehammer, and his internal organs seemed to be shattered, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood!
After lying on the ground for a while, Haugist felt his body regain control. Several teammates had already surrounded him, and even Thomas, who had just been overturned by Bennett's hat, had already gotten up and ran back. He kept moving the shoulder of his right hand that had just lifted the ball and dunked, "How are you?" Still standing up? Bennett was so fierce that I felt like I was going to break the ligament in my arm! You must be more injured than I am, right? ”
Hoggist tried to get up, moved his body, lowered his waist, felt that there was nothing unusual in his body, and patted Thomas on the arm and said, "I'm fine." ”
"It's okay! How can it be? Thomas was so startled that he almost took his arm off.
"It was just a hard bump just now, and it will be fine if you fall over and unload the force." Although his body was still a little sore, Hoggist still showed a calm and breezy expression in front of everyone.
"Compared to Bennett, I feel like you're more of a freak, I thought you were perverted on the day of the draft tryout, a high school student can actually play 2+1 under Leonard, you must know that it's very difficult to beat Leonard now, today you were hit by Bennett and flew so far, you should go to the hospital if you replaced someone else, you're okay like this!" Joseph said.
"I'm just playing some tricks, if I don't unload my strength to stand there and let him hit him, I guess my lumbar spine has been broken now! Let's kick off! At this point, Bennett's momentum should be suppressed by me for the time being! Cory, you control the ball first, I'll try the level of that Russian first. Hoggist said.
Joseph nodded, and Dedmund walked to the sideline. The opponent commits a foul and takes the throw-in from the touchline closest to the place where the foul is committed, and after receiving the ball from the referee, Dedmon drives the ball to Joseph. Joseph dribbles across the half, Alonzo. Ki didn't come up to press, but Haugist was watched very closely by Sergei. Coupled with Sergei's fierce expression, Haugist was really a little hairy in his heart, and he tried to get rid of him several times, but he followed.
"Big brother, you can't be a member of a Russian gangster or the KGB, right? Why do I feel murderous in your gaze? Hogist asked cautiously.
Sergei showed a smile that seemed terrible to Haugist, but he himself felt very friendly, "Friend, the KGB was not there long before the collapse of the USSR!" I'm just an ordinary Russian, please don't discriminate against me! ”
Haugist suddenly felt creepy when he saw Sergei's smiling face, as if the blood in his body was frozen. Hurriedly continue to slide the bottom line to run.
Thomas couldn't beat Bennett on the inside, there was no place to stay at all, and Bennett was squeezed close to the bottom corner, and Dedmon mentioned the top of the arc to cover Joseph, the Cavaliers' inside line was suddenly empty, Hougist saw the opportunity, and used nearby Bennett in the bottom corner and in order not to have physical contact with Bennett, he deliberately dodged Thomas, who was standing on the side in two steps, and ran past in an S-shaped way around the pile, straight to the basket.
Haugist used this nimble running position to try to shake off the tall Sergei, Sergei followed behind and squeezed away Thomas, who was on contact with his body like a frightened bird, but did not dodge the immobile Bennett, the two touched shoulders and Sergei was directly carried to the ground.
Joseph was about to break through to the inside with cover, and saw that Hougist ran out of the opportunity, although he did not get rid of the defender, but he didn't care so much, and threw the ball directly to the basket with a big hook.
Horgist was in the enemy's hinterland, afraid that Ye Changmeng would be blocked by the defense, so he rushed forward on the right side of the rebound and jumped up directly in the air to point the ball to the rebound, but unfortunately he lost his head in a hurry, and when he fell to the left side of the rebound, the basketball hit the board and fell back to his own hand.
Hougist's outrageous shot sparked laughter, and Bennett had just been hit by Sergei, and then he stabilized his body and turned back to the basket to make up for Hoggist, who hurried to score two points with a backhand layup before Bennett rushed over.
"Whew~" Haugist let out a sigh of relief, it seems that this Sergei is fast enough, and his flexibility is not enough, so he should deal with it. Hougist gave Joseph a thumbs up as he returned to the defense.
The Cavaliers were possessed by Sergei through the half, and Joseph was under-tall, so Hoggist took the initiative to defend him. Sergei originally wanted to play a block with Bennett, but Bennett ignored Sergei's gesture and asked for the ball directly on the inside.
Bennett saw the eyebrows of Hougist and the Spurs before the game, probably guessing that Hougist must be sharing with them the experience of playing with him, because the outside line was too iron, Hougist's co-defense strategy was helpless, and now a group of shooters in his team, although they are NBA fringe players, but how are they much better than the little blacksmiths in UNLV, and now Bennett can't wait for the Spurs to pinch him, so that he can divide the ball to the outside for long-range precision strikes.
So Bennett confidently ignored Sergei's tentative style of play and decided to get straight to the point as soon as he came up, turning the clouds directly on the inside. Sergei reluctantly passed the ball to Bennett, Bennett had already crushed into the reasonable collision zone, Thomas didn't dare to use his body to resist Bennett, just lightly put one hand on Bennett's waist Bennett pushed back, Thomas took a step back, not giving him a chance to hit his back at all, Haugist, Joseph and Damion. The three of James stared at the perimeter players they were playing against, while Dedmon easily jammed Himms to prevent him from picking up Bennett.
Bennett found that Thomas's defense was like paper, and no one came up to shoot and turned around and scored with a dunk.
"Big brother, why are you like this? Bennett's shot, you are so disturbed, I think you can't hide from the stands! Dedmon was very dissatisfied with Thomas's "softness".
Joseph also complained: "Big brother, if you are afraid of physical confrontation, you can go around the front to prevent him from catching the ball, or be shameless, you can also fake falling!" Do you really make us 4 to 5? ”
"I was wrong, a few big brothers, Bennett just gave me a psychological shadow! Let me be slow, let me be slow! Thomas hurried to confess his sins to the people.
"You see Bennett knocked me so far, how can I not have a psychological shadow! Remember, all opponents who play with their bodies are paper tigers! "Hougist encouraged Thomas with his own experience.
Joseph dribbled the ball past half, Haugist took the initiative on the flank, and Joseph distributed the ball. Horgist's face to Sergei recalls the situation when he played Leonard alone, and in the face of such a good defensive player, he had to use more flexible moves to break through their defense.
Horgist dribbled the ball with his left hand behind his right side, and at the same time the man also took a big step to the right, while bringing Sergei to his right side, he made a half-turn clockwise and turned his back to the basket, looking like he was going to hit Sergei with his back, but suddenly his right hand made a back dribble again, and at the same time, he accelerated clockwise forward and turned around and rushed into the inside line from Sergei's side, the ball bounced to the ground and returned to Horgist's left hand, and Horgist dribbled with his left hand and made three steps to make a layup and score with a left-handed pick-up.
"What a handsome! If I hadn't known him, I would have thought he was a left-hander! Could it be that he opened up the talent of his left hand after he injured his right hand? Dr. Sturridge was standing on the sidelines applauding Hoggist's hit, and knowing the injury to Hougist's right hand, he was very curious, how could a right-hander practice his left hand so well?
And the Cavaliers players and fans were shocked to see this action, which was completely their star Kyrie. With Owen's style, his light breakthrough, and his comfortable left hand, everyone can't help but wonder if the ability to balance the left and right hands is no longer valuable? How can a mere high school student do it?
The Cavaliers are not surprised that only Bennett and Carrick are on the lineup, and Hoggist has shown too much ability to surpass his age in many training games with them, and was killed by Hoggist with a left-handed three-point shot in the first game, and this kind of left-handed dribble layup is as common as eating and drinking for Hoggist.
The Cavaliers attacked, Bennett continued to be in the inside position, Thomas listened to everyone's practice and began to go around the front to defend him to receive the ball, but when no one was sandwiched, Sergei instead used Thomas's front to hoist the ball deeper inside, Bennett got the ball and turned around to face the empty basket directly, another violent dunk!
No one blames Thomas anymore this time, after all, he has done a lot according to everyone's instructions. The Spurs attacked, and Hougist officially took over possession, playing a pick-and-roll with Dedmon at the top of the arc. Hoggist changed direction and tried to break inside with cover, but Sergei chose to go around the back defense, and Hoggist saw this and dribbled the ball back to his left hand again, and directly used Dedmon's cover to shoot a three-pointer with his left hand.
Hougist has always had a lot of luck in the game, although his left-handed shooting percentage is less than 3 percent, but the rhythm of this ball dribbling is very good, and the ball thrown out of the rainbow hollow into the net.
The Cavaliers attacked, and Bennett also had some doubts in his heart, why did he play so easily on the offensive end and the Spurs didn't come up to cover it? Are the Spurs really planning to cut the link between the team's shooters and themselves and put themselves in a one-man position? But the singles are not sandwiched, and no one can stop them! What's the point of such a defensive tactic?
However, when Bennett was about to single Thomas for the third time on the inside, Thomas had already come out of the psychological shadow of being a blood cap at the beginning, and he began to take the initiative to fight with Bennett, after all, Thomas is also a player in the NBA, although he still can't block Bennett's back hit, but when Bennett turned strong, Thomas shrewdly knocked the ball in his hand.
Joseph and Alonzo. Kei threw himself to the ground in order to grab the ball that had been poked out of the floor, but neither of the two butter hands could hold the ball, and Horgist and Sergei also pounced, and the ball was poked around on the floor, and finally Haugist fell down and quickly asked for a timeout.
The Spurs paid a timeout to win the ball, and on the offensive end, the Spurs began to use the experience of repeatedly beating Bennett in the Hougist training game, and Hougist and Joseph took turns to play blocking and dismantling with Thomas, who had recovered his hardness, and put Bennetla, the only strong point on the Cavaliers' inside, to the outside to misplace the single, either easily passing him, or tricking him into fouling with shooting feints, and after the first quarter, although Bennett took what he wanted on the inside, hit 5 of 8 shots, and also played a 2+1, and scored 11 points efficiently, but the defensive end was still as weak as the varsity team training game, and was soon made 3 fouls and went down to rest early.
Halfway through the second quarter, the Spurs quickly led the Cavaliers by more than 10 points under the strong performance of Hougist and Joseph Ley's sudden outside shots, and the Cavaliers had to replace Bennett on the court.
