Chapter 17: A Tooth for a Tooth

At the end of the intermission, the second quarter of the game began, the hippies possessed the ball, Franklin went to the front court and hoisted the ball directly to Woods on the inside, Woods received the ball in the paint area and directly swung the iron elbow and turned to make a layup, Randolph quickly dodged short, and Woods easily scored two points.

Justin didn't see Woods swing his elbow, still wondering why Randolph was dodging. Hougist saw it on the same side, and hurriedly ran over and asked with concern, "Didn't you get beaten?" ”

Randolph shook his head: "No, thanks to my quick dodge, the big iron elbow is windy, and my face hurts." ”

"The next time you cover your face and fall down, it's better to scream again. I've already taken an elbow, and the referee will definitely keep this kind of bad action under control now! Haugist whispered in Randolph's ear.

"You're so bad." Randolph laughed.

The ball was kicked out, it was still Joseph who dribbled over the half court, Hoogist and Justin continued to use the cover of the inside line to actively run and find the vacancy, Jackson followed the defense very tightly this time, Hougist never ran out of the vacancy, and with 10 seconds left, Hoggist had to take the initiative to retreat to the three-point line to receive the ball alone.

Hougist glanced at Jackson with the ball, wanting to test whether he would step on his feet, so he used his best trick, taking two strong steps into the crotch and dribbling directly to the crotch and stepping back to shoot. Jackson reached out to seal his eyes above, and decisively stretched out his sinful black foot below, and after throwing the ball, Hougist spread his legs as far apart as he could, and landed firmly in a horse step squat crotch style, and Jackson's black foot was between Hougist's legs.

"Your shooting posture is very chic!" Jackson sarcastically.

"As long as you can." Hoggist said lightly.

After that three-point shot, the Spartans trailed by four points at 26:30.

The hippies attacked, Franklin dribbled across the halfcourt, and Jackson signaled to play one of his own. Franklin gave the ball to Jackson and pulled it away to the weak side.

Hougist faced Jackson, and he tried to stare at Jackson with his right eye open, as if he wanted to kill Jackson with his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, I'd love to give you another left side, and I hope you'll be tighter when I break through." Jackson said smugly as he dribbled the ball on the spot.

"You misunderstood, I just wanted to tell you a little bit about my defensive habits," Hoggist said as he slammed off Jackson's ball and raced forward with the ball. According to Hougist's usual habits, after breaking the ball, he will most likely put the opponent who is chasing the defense closer, and deliberately create physical contact to cheat the foul and add penalties when he goes to the basket, but today he is still a little afraid of Jackson's black hand, so he broke the ball and rushed quickly across the half court, and dunked a basket very casually at the fastest speed.

Hoggist passed Jackson as he walked back before finishing the second half of his sentence: "I like gambling steals, so it's better to decide whether to break through or shoot in front of me." After that, Hoggist paused, and added: "Or you dribble faster and more steadily, and you can do whatever you want after I steal and miss the position." ”

Jackson hated it so much that he couldn't take turns using all his small movements on Hougist, a freshman in high school had already practiced NBA-level trash talk, which was even more terrifying than his ball skills!

The hippies attacked, with only 2 points left, and Jackson knew that this attack had to be successful to stabilize his position, so he decided to use his height and weight to play one. Coming to the Spartans half, Jackson played Haugist directly in the elbow area.

Hougist resisted Jackson, carefully guarding against him suddenly turning around and slashing his elbow, but the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to defend, and when Jackson hit the back, he actually used his other elbow to smash Hoggist in the abdomen very covertly. Although the whole body is straining when resisting, the abdominal muscles are also tight, which can offset part of the impact, but it still hurts.

This action is relatively hidden, the referee's angle is invisible, and Haugist can only suffer this dark loss. Jackson hit a few backs, pushed into the paint, and turned around to shoot when Hoggist was hit in the abdomen and couldn't react immediately, and Hougist endured the pain and forced his jump to try to interfere with Jackson's shot.

The ball bounced off the basket, and Woods and Randolph were fighting for position, Randolph stuck on the inside, but the ball bounced far away and still fell into the hands of Woods on the outside. Woods took the ball and pressed Randolph to put the ball in.

Hougist rubbed his stomach, Jackson can really be called the "essence of human small movements", this short period of more than a quarter showed himself a variety of ways to pull the jersey, shoot the feet and iron elbow in the offense, and even just now Jackson's shot also raised a leg, it seems to be looking for balance, but in fact, he wants to kick himself.

For this kind of person, Hougist is really disgusted, this kind of person is simply insulting basketball, Hoggist's brain is running rapidly, and he has to find a way to solve him in order to play well. But Jackson's small movements are also more and more hidden, not easy for the referee to see, although the step is obvious, but he can't step on it in order to show it to the referee, this is a lose-lose approach, even if you can punish Jackson, you have to risk injury. What to do?

Suddenly, a bold idea flashed in Haugist's mind, although this trick is too immoral, but dealing with Jackson can be regarded as a way to return the favor to the other, hoping to teach him a lesson this time, so that he can understand what it is like to be hurt by small actions.

Joseph dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Hougist followed him, volunteered for the ball, and motioned for Randolph to come up and block it. Haugist borrowed Randolph cover at the top of the arc to move to the flank, Woods did not help to defend, so Jackson could only go around from behind Randolph to chase the defense, Haugist took advantage of Jackson to be blocked, jumped high with all his strength, regardless of the deformation of the shooting action, and threw the ball as fast as possible, although Jackson was a step slower, but still habitually stretched out his foot.

Hoggist jumped up with all his strength and shot as quickly as he could, regardless of the size of his hand, in order to save more time to adjust the angle and force of the landing in the air. Now that Jackson's feet are stretched under him again, you can't be polite!

Hougist aimed at Jackson's instep and stomped down with his feet together. If the malicious action of stepping on the foot is unconsciously stepped on, the ligaments or bones of the ankle of the person being cushioned are easily injured, but if the person being cushioned is ready to stomp down hard, it will be the person who is stepping on the foot. This kick will break Jackson's ankle ligament and even fracture his ankle.

But Hoggist did it anyway, and if he didn't do it, it was not known how many more people would be injured in this game. As he hit the three-point shot, Hoggist tried his best to make it look like he landed lightly on Jackson's feet, and then fell to the ground screaming in pain.

The audience on the sidelines was in an uproar, and Qiu Jingli said, "Ah! With a scream, he stood up from his seat and ran to Hoggist's side with the team doctor.

Jackson and the rest of the hippies on the floor were secretly smug, and Woods covered his mouth and snickered, thinking to himself Hougist, you have finally been hit, look how arrogant you are.

But Jackson didn't feel a sharp pain in his ankle for a few seconds before he couldn't stand on his feet.

The sideline referee blew another hurried whistle, the ball happened in front of him, Jackson stepped too blatantly, and the future stars of Las Vegas were abolished, and the physical contact caused by moving to the vacant player like this was a unsportsmanlike foul, and the sideline referee decisively gave a first-degree malicious foul again, and Jackson accumulated two first-degree malicious fouls and was expelled.

At this time, Hoggist and Jackson both fell to the ground, surrounded by teammates, the team doctor was checking Hoggist's ankle injury, Qiu Jingli stood on the side and looked at Hoggist with concern, and Hoggist gave her a look, signaling that he was fine.

The team doctor examined the bones and ligaments of Haugist's ankle and found that there were no fractures and ligament ruptures, but seeing Hoggist's painful expression, he was afraid that the ligaments were slightly torn, so he still asked everyone to carry Hoggist back to the locker room.

And here Jackson fell to the ground and covered his feet in pain, his teammates didn't care much at first, thinking he was pretending, Woods also ran over and pretended to care about his injury, and whispered in Jackson's ear: "Don't pretend, boss, it's over, get up!" ”

Jackson scolded bitterly, "Goddamnit! Call me the team doctor, he may have broken my ankle! ”

Woods hurriedly called the team doctor, and the team doctor found that Jackson's ankle bone was fine, but the ligament was seriously injured, and the entire ankle was swollen like a steamed bun. Several people hurriedly carried Jackson on a stretcher to an ambulance and sent him to the hospital for examination.

Hoggist returned to the locker room and asked the team doctor to put a bandage on his ankle, indicating that he could still continue to play, at this time the news that Jackson had injured his ankle and was taken to the hospital reached the locker room, Joseph seemed to understand something, and winked at Hoggist, who nodded slightly and motioned for everyone to return to the court.

Coach Dick asked worriedly, "Are you sure you can still play?" You've injured your eye socket and now you've injured your ankle, so it's better to rest off the field. ”

Hoggist said: "It's okay, I can hold on a little longer, now that the opponent's core has left, we seized the opportunity to hit them directly in the second quarter, and I will rest in the second half." ”

Coach Dick nodded, everyone returned to the field, the referee stood in front of the technical table and made a penalty gesture, the hippies No. 9 Jackson accumulated two first-degree malicious fouls and was expelled from the game, the Spartans made two free throws and one throw, and the court booed again, although the audience knew that Jackson deserved the foul, but because of Jackson's injury, everyone was also a little excited. Hoggist limped to the free throw line, and everyone saw that he was not lightly injured, which calmed down the anger a little, but Hoggist still enjoyed the "Sucks!" from the spectators on the sidelines when he made free throws. Swearing.

Hougist hit both free throws to put the Spartans up at 33:32.

The Spartans went on the offensive and the hippies were replaced by a backup point guard, Dimmit. Jackson's younger brother, DJ. Jackson. DJ. Jackson is a few inches shorter than his older brother and has clearer eyes than his older brother. Haugist drove the ball to Joseph and limped to block Joseph.

Joseph broke through to the paint with cover, Hougist blocked Franklin, Jackson Jr. switched to chase Joseph, Joseph took two steps to return the ball to Hougist, Hoggist ignored Franklin's defense and hit another three. Then he limped back to his own half.

The hippies offense was still dominated by the inside, Woods flew under the basket with an iron elbow, and Randolph did not dare to get close, so he let him play again. The two sides go back and forth, the Spartans don't dwell too much on the inside when attacking, and shoot crazy on the outside through blocking and running, while Dimmit. Jackson's injury cast a shadow over the hearts of the rest of the hippies, who no longer dared to blatantly hurt others, and the Spartans frequently won from the outside. On the defensive end, although Woods is tall and has long arms, Joseph and Haugist, who were assisted in the defense because of their slow movement, made many successful steals, but it was Durant Jr. who used his physical advantage to beat Justin several times. But Hougist switched defenses with Justin in time and eventually locked up Miles.

With Hougist's ultra-long three-point shot, the Spartans ended the first half with a 62-45 lead. Back in the locker room, everyone rehydrated and rested, and Hougist continued to apply ice packs to his eye sockets. Coach Dick laid out the tactics of the second half on the big tactical board: "Hougist, you will rest in the second half, if the opponent equalizes the score, you will come to the rescue, Justin, you will play the scoring guard in the second half, James, you will play small forward, you must prevent the opponent's small forward Miles, they have two strong points left in the team, Miles and center Woods, as long as the two of them are locked on the defensive end, the others are not much of a threat, the offense does not need me to say more, just play the outside line in the first half, they can't prevent you!" ”

As expected, in the second half, Woods did not make any waves, but was constantly whistled for fouls because of too many small actions on both offensive and defensive ends, and left the game at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Myers struggled to stand alone, leading the team to just 11 points in the fourth quarter. In the end, the Spartans defeated the Carson High School hippies by a huge margin of 32 points 106-74.
