Chapter 42: His Faith
The next day, the sun was shining.
The second quarter of the Derrick Rose Supporters' Club and Hip Hop United is still playing on Court 1.
After a night of adjustment, most of the anger of the players on both sides has disappeared.
Before the game, Roy quietly summoned Wang Jie and Cheng Zixuan over and whispered a few words.
The winner will be decided today.
Roy's tactics will be decisive.
Following the rhythm of yesterday's game, Roy still chose a direct jumper for the first shot, and hit it with his open hand, and the score gap returned to 6 points, 14:20.
"Yo, you still don't have the courage to face me head-on after sleeping." Chen Youran still looked like a fool and cynical, "Are you planning to spend time with me until the end of the game?" It's you who are behind, you can't stop me at all, as long as I want to score, I will never lose. ”
Chen Youran thought that Roy was still the Roy of yesterday, but what he didn't expect was that Roy was by no means very human, and the situation had changed.
Roy changed his defensive strategy, and he kept a distance of more than one meter from Chen Youran, with an obvious intention, "let go of the shot, not let go of the attack".
"Hahaha, it seems that you are really afraid of my breakthrough." Chen Youran didn't pay attention to Roy at all, and the more the opponent was afraid of his breakthrough, the more energetic he became.
From this point of view, Roy's "show of weakness" of stepping back one meter made Chen Youran feel very comfortable.
He doesn't care what tactics Roy changes, breaking through is all he does in basketball.
Chen Youran's speed of dribbling was still amazing, but this time Roy had enough buffer time to find that his pace could keep up with Chen's change of direction.
Regardless of Chen's frantic crotch dribbling, dazzling turns, and strange feints, Roy didn't lose any of his center of gravity.
How could Chen Youran show weakness at this time, even if his teammates were already in a favorable position, he resolutely did not pass it on, he wanted to regain this face.
I saw him unexpectedly slap the ball under Roy's crotch, and immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the ball.
Chen Youran's "surprise attack" passed Roy? Not really!
Roy's long arms are a natural defensive barrier, and the moment the ball passes under the crotch, Roy pulls back and keeps the ball alive.
"Yo, it's my turn this time, you can't prevent me at all, who made you short." Roy actually started trash talking.
Chen Youran's anger burned a little bit, didn't he grow taller? Do you think I really can't cover you?
The furious Chen Youran expected Roy to shoot again, he saw the opportunity, jumped early, and made a block in advance while Roy did not rise into the air, so as to fully reduce the gap caused by height.
But this time, he miscalculated again.
Chen Youran's feet just had a tendency to leave the ground, and Roy immediately accelerated with a bow, and this time he chose to break through to the basket!
No way, in the second round, Chen Youran was defeated, 16:20.
It's not simple, Chen Youran instantly understood that Roy was actually using his own tricks and trash talk to distract the defense.
This kid is not to be underestimated.
But even if you see through Roy's tricks, what can you do?
Roy's "put-and-shoot" tactics were quite successful, and the difficulty of breaking through increased exponentially.
Chen Youran fell into a bitter battle.
The breakthrough faced a "long-handed monster" with a leaky defense.
If you choose to pass the ball, you will inevitably seem to be afraid to back down.
The only option left is to shoot, and use the shot to decide the winner.
At this critical moment, Chen Youran still couldn't let go of his streetball plot, and "one-on-one heads-up" with the strong until he died, this is the true meaning of street basketball.
If it was purely to win, he wouldn't have had to go into street basketball back then.
Come on.
Chen Youran has made up his mind.
He hadn't used a mid-range shot in a game for a long time.
The last time I was serious about investing was back in college.
Chen Youran suddenly remembered, and that scene is still vivid.
In his youthful years, he sweated like rain in the casting practice, and he had to throw himself every day until he was sweating profusely and his hands and feet were numb before he could go back to rest.
He still remembered the strict coach, the devilish coach who would never allow anyone to disobey his commands, the balding old man who ruined his dream of being a professional player.
It was the most memorable game in Chen Youran's memory, fierce confrontation, disparity in scores, and in the garbage time of the game, Chen Youran made a mistake because he played a trick.
It was an innocuous mistake, and Chen Youran's purpose was to only boost the team's sluggish morale, but the coach was furious, and Chen Youran was kicked off the court on the spot.
This is not over, cynicism, suspension and punishment followed.
Chen Youran was suddenly beaten into the cold palace, and none of those teammates who usually laughed and laughed stood up to speak for him.
At that moment, he understood that his dream of professional basketball was shattered.
Not only is he willing to bow to the upper hand in terms of ball skills, but more importantly, the self-esteem on which he lives is shattered.
Disheartened, Chen Youran resolutely chose to quit the team.
He loves basketball, but he loves freedom even more.
This led to the later "Street Ball Emperor" Chen Youran.
Street basketball is just street basketball after all, and without training that has been tempered and tempered, how can there be extremely accurate shooting.
As Roy expected, Chen's mid-range shot was missed.
As Roy expected, Wang Jie, who had been well prepared for a long time, grabbed the rebound.
As Roy expected, the scales of the race tipped off.
Victory or faith?
The answer given by Chen Youran is obvious.
After that, he went crazy and attacked Roy.
He used all his strength, and he took the wild skills of streetball basketball to the extreme.
Perhaps this is the original intention of Chen Youran to participate in this competition.
He's going to challenge convention, he's going to make a name for streetball.
So he would think of challenging Leng Yihan.
Although this one may have become smaller and smaller.
In the last 10 seconds, the "Derrick Rose Fan Club", which had the tactical initiative, had already overtaken the score, 32:30.
There is not much time left for Chen Youran.
The audience held their breath and the photographer gave a close-up.
Is the legendary "Street Ball Emperor" going to fall outside the top 32?
Chen Youran's every step was extremely firm, and the ball was in his hand, as if it had been enchanted, agile and elegant, and swaying brilliantly.
Roy stared at Chen Youran intently, every little movement, every look, and every breath he took was watertight.
With 6 seconds left, Chen Youran started.
He and Roy got on their feet, a competition of speed, a competition of feet.
In 5 seconds, Kuang Botian struggled to squeeze into his position, and until this moment, Chen Youran still had the opportunity to choose to pass.
However, he is Chen Youran, and he has his proud stubbornness.
4 seconds, still unable to find a flaw, Wang Jie and Yang Boyu are already grabbing positions for rebounding.
In 3 seconds, Roy's defense was impeccable, and Chen Youran had few options.
2 seconds, there was not much time, Roy pushed out, and Chen Youran was helpless and chose a backward jumper.
In 1 second, the arc of the ball flies in the air, which is really a perfect trajectory.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Youran, and my dream is to participate in the CBA draft in the future and become a professional player."
Chen Youran's mind suddenly came up with the scene when he first entered the university team.
Is my choice right or wrong?
If I were given another chance to choose, would I still choose the path I have now?
There is no doubt who called me Chen Youran!
"Dang!" The ball slammed into the neck of the basket and the game was over......
