Chapter 173: The Counterattack of the Substitutes
After the game restarted, Zhou Qi, Zhao Jiwei and other main players sat back on the bench wearing towels.
Coach Fan anxiously clasped his hands on his chest and paced back and forth.
His biggest wish now is that this match is not too ugly, lest the media find another opportunity to criticize his tactics tomorrow.
It is not once or twice that the domestic media complained about his mediocre coaching level, but Coach Fan is also helpless, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, not to mention that he is facing a strong NCAA star team today.
The substitutes on the U.S. side have been eager to try it out, and several new players have been very active, such as Malik Newman, who is marking Roy, and slammed Roy before he served.
This kind of hand-to-hand defense made Roy very unhappy, and he had an idea to fix the Malik Newman classmate.
"Malik, who do you think is weaker, you or Fultz?"
Seeing Newman staring at himself, Roy suddenly threw this question.
What does that mean? Malik Newman was stunned for a moment, usually when others ask themselves, they ask who is stronger, you or XX, and Roy asks me or Fultz who is weaker? Is this mocking me?
Taking advantage of Newman's daz, his close-fitting pressing revealed a flaw, and the ball was released.
An unexpected scene appeared, Ji Boyan, who finished serving, rushed to the half court of the American team with the other three Chinese players.
Roy and Malik Newman instantly formed a one-on-one situation.
Newman, who had just reacted and was teased by Roy, couldn't help but talk with a full face, he defended himself, and was eager to give Roy a dismount, and he was not verbose, and directly made a strong copy.
Newman was impulsive this time, but he was indeed very confident in his defensive ability, not to mention that he held back on the bench for too long, and was teased by Roy's words as soon as he came up, so he naturally wanted to get back face.
But he clearly underestimated Roy's strength, and he may have laughed at the weakness of high school basketball and the naivety of high school players countless times, but he is now facing the No. 1 high school student in the country, beating Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball's national high school MVP.
In the face of Newman's quick interception, Roy did not hurry a quick back dribble, connected two steps to accelerate and easily passed Malik Newman, his speed was ferocious, the wind under his feet, all the way forward, unimpeded, before the other four players were fully in place, Roy had reached the top of the penalty area.
Without waiting for the defenders to step forward, Roy stepped on the step point and shot three points directly, "smack" a crisp hollow, 15:34, the enthusiasm of the audience was instantly rekindled.
"Oh my god, is this No. 1 player imitating Curry's shot? He's so fast. "It's clearly a fan who doesn't know Roy yet.
"I'll just say, it would be nice to let Roy play early, he's a superstar who beats those American high school All-Stars, and he's definitely much better than those domestic players." There are also many fans of Roy on the scene.
Through this goal, those fans who have been silent for a long time finally raised their eyebrows.
All kinds of noises gathered, Fan Bin reacted from the shock, he was still secretly scolding Roy for playing so messily just now, and he was about to shout twice on the sidelines, but he didn't expect Roy to actually throw the ball in, and it was a hollow three-point shot.
Back on the court, Malik Newman looked ugly, not only because he had just been cleaned by Roy, but more importantly, because he let his rival Chris Dunn see the joke.
The group of heartless teammates were actually laughing, which made Newman extremely unhappy, and he didn't want to be the only player on the team to be teased by his opponent.
He has to save face and give an "answer ball", which is the style of play of American players, and if they are beaten one-on-one by their opponents in a match, they must win it back in a one-on-one way.
Fortunately, their teammates on the court are very aware of the current affairs, and they consciously open up gaps for Newman and create singles opportunities.
No one is going to block or cover him, and according to their habitual thinking, Newman has no problem blowing up this Chinese kid, even if he is the MVP of American high schools.
Newman really has two brushes, he was also a genius who averaged 29.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in high school, he was also a regular at the McDonald's All-Star Game, Jordan Classic, Nike Basketball Summit, and he was even the MVP of the 2014 U17 World Youth Championship.
If he didn't have two brushes and a few tricks, how could he have been selected to the star-studded NCAA All-Star team.
I saw Newman accelerate and break through, Roy followed him, and at this moment, Newman suddenly shot, a throw without warning, a beautiful arc, appropriate strength, the ball went into the net, 15:36, a good "answer ball".
"Hey, didn't you just ask me or Fultz who is weaker? I'm telling you now, we're all better than you. Newman unceremoniously hit back at Roy after the goal.
However, Roy didn't have time to pay attention to him, and the next ball was taken, and he and his four teammates rushed forward like crazy.
Now the coaches, players, media and fans off the field can see that the national youth team is playing "run-and-bomb tactics", could it be that Fan Bin is going to work hard? Everyone believed that this tactic was the work of Fan Bin, and only the five Chinese players on the field knew the secret.
This is a Jedi counterattack played by Roy's substitutes.
Newman learned to be smart this time, and he no longer blindly shot the ball, but this made him discover another embarrassing thing, his speed was not as fast as Roy.
With just a few accelerations, Roy overtook Newman with his speed, still in his old position outside the front three-point line, or at the moment when Diamond Stone and Ivan Raab hesitated to make up the defense, Roy made a move.
In order to avoid Newman's block, Roy leaned forward slightly, his jump was sufficient, his arms were stretched out and he leaned forward slightly, and Newman couldn't do anything about it.
Roy shot, Newman, who jumped in the air, couldn't brake, and the whole person hit Roy, the whistle sounded in time, and the three-point foul!
But that's not all, Roy's basketball shot is like a cannonball, straight into the basket. Flat-firing gun, which is a special shooting method without arc used to save time to shoot, I didn't expect Roy to even shoot this way.
In the incredible "3+1", the players on the bench of the Chinese team jumped up, the audience became more frenzied, and the shouts of Roy's name rang out.
Smoothly added penalties, and the score became 19:36, and the score difference was further narrowed.
Newman's mindset exploded, especially when he saw the big screen replaying his stupid foul over and over again, and especially when he saw Roy gesturing at him with a "four" gesture, his mindset exploded.
As an ace at Mississippi State University and a five-star high school player from ESPN, he couldn't avoid Roy's provocations.
Newman is also a sharpshooter, and his three-point shot is just as accurate, but his impulsiveness makes him lose his judgment, and he doesn't know that Roy is not a generic person, let alone an average NCAA player. correct
He was hit even harder when Newman was about to "**" Roy to get his face back, Roy's reflexes were super fast, the bounce was amazing, and Newman's three-pointer hit a sturdy big hat.
Roy, who was also quick in his second reaction, got the ball, he strode and rushed straight to the enemy, no one could catch up with him, and all Newman could do was send a desperate look.
Roy didn't want to waste such a precious opportunity to perform, and the dunk skills he had worked on for so long were not for viewing, but for such a morale-boosting moment.
I saw Roy step on the free throw line, pick up his right hand holding the ball, swing his big arm with all his might, and dunk a violent windmill.
There was a crisp sound of "bang", the whole audience boiled, and "Old Coach K" had to ask for the first timeout of the game......
