Chapter 59

Hoggist is not worried, after all, McCaw, who can score 73 points, has been prevented by himself as a little blacksmith, no matter how powerful this Booker is, it is nothing more than that! And Hougist is full of confidence in his projection, he doesn't believe that someone with a similar height and arm span can defend himself.

Surprisingly, the little man who was a good turnaround runner chose LaVine as his opponent, while Whitehead chose his roommate Hollis Jefferson as his opponent. These pairs were the main plays, and Coach Fogier deliberately arranged for them to play at the end, allowing the other high school students to play first.

The local high school students played well, and everyone sat on the sidelines and watched with relish. Booker was practicing his shooting on the other side of the court, preparing for a battle with Hogist.

It seems that the strength of the players in the "GDP" group is still slightly inferior, and when the others finish playing, the "GDP" group has a record of 10 wins, 12 losses and 2 draws, although it seems that the difference between the two groups is not very large, but the players who won the "Twin Towers" group are basically 4:0, 5:0, 5:1 such big wins, while the "GDP" group wins the number of games as 3:2, 4:3 and other narrow wins.

The "GDP" group pinned their hopes of victory on LaVine, Hollis Jefferson and Hougist. At this point, LaVine wanted to take the lead again, but Hougist was not in a hurry to let LaVine play, but let Hollis Jefferson take the lead.

LaVine was pressed on the shoulder by Hougist for a long time and couldn't stand up until Hollis Jefferson came on the court, and Hougist didn't let go of his hand. Laven asked puzzledly, "Why didn't the boss let me go first?" That little guy I can fan the Alamo with a ball! Let me win a big wave and turn the momentum around! ”

"That's what that little guy thinks too!" Hoggist whispered, "Look at his sharp eyes, it's obviously not good, if I don't instruct you first, you will play with the mentality of underestimating the enemy now, maybe you will fail miserably!" ”

"Is it that exaggerated? My physical talent is so obvious, even if he jumps up and hugs my knees, I can dunk! Under the absolute physical gap, no matter how ruthless he is, it's useless! Ravan muttered.

"The height of the AI is not the same as playing Hibbert! Consider the combination of factors! Haugist instructed: "You see that he is not weaker than you when he runs back!" And the smaller the more flexible, you must be careful when you defend, don't jump easily, you have to understand, with your bounce ability, he jumps up first and you jump again is enough to block him. When attacking, you must be careful to protect the ball, don't be stealed! ”

"Got it!" Ravan said perfunctorily.

"The lion fights the rabbit, and with all his strength, you can't take it lightly!" Hoggist repeatedly emphasized.

"Don't worry, boss!" Raven barely got serious.

On the court, Hollis Jefferson had used up five offensive opportunities at this time, made two three-point shots, switched to the interior after the third three-point shot, and forced the basket twice with his back in a row, Whitehead's body was far less strong than Hollis-Jefferson, and he was easily beaten both times.

It's Whitehead's turn to attack, Whitehead's offensive ability is not as good as Hougist, and even Hougist can't bargain under Hollis Jefferson, let alone Whitehead? Whitehead kept a clean sheet on five offensive chances and Hollis Jefferson secured the first 4-0 win for the 'GDP' group.

"Win pretty!" LaVine got up to greet Hollis Jefferson and handed him a towel and water, "Let's see if I get the first 5:0!" ”

The little man of the "Twin Towers" group sneered and also walked up to the field. Laven handed the ball to the little man, "That boy, I'll let you attack first, you report your name, I'll not kill the nameless ghost under LaVine's knife!" ”

"Taylor. Julis, I hope you remember my name, so that you don't know who you lost to. "The little man spoke more arrogantly than Raven.

"Ulis? Look at me beating you Useless! LaVine was in position and waited for Julis's attack.

Ullis is not tall, but he is extremely flexible, like a monkey, although Lavin has good physical fitness and strong core strength, but it is also very uncomfortable to keep changing the center of gravity with Ulys. Julis brought LaVine's center of gravity to one side with a crotch and then turned around LaVine for a three-step layup from the other side.

Ravin thought to himself, what the boss said was right, this kid is really hard to deal with! But LaVine has the advantage of height and arm length after all, although Ullis passed LaVine for a three-step layup, but LaVine forced back to chase after the defense, jumped hard, and finally pressed it on the rebound before the ball thrown by Ulyss fell.

"Phew, I almost got attacked by you!" Ravan said with trepidation.

Ullis secretly calculated in his heart, this jumping man is really difficult to deal with, judging from the various performances just now, he is obviously a person with developed limbs and a simple mind, he was confident that he could easily shake Raven and shoot calmly, but he didn't expect that he was as stable as a rock, basically not shaking, and occasionally shaking Raven's center of gravity, but he was able to use his strong waist and abdominal strength to return to the right track in time. Just now, he finally used the continuous shaking to get a chance to get an empty basket, but LaVine was able to rush back from so far to block it. It's hard to take advantage of this physical fitness. That Hogist whispered a few words to him just now, he must have been teaching him how to defend seriously!

But what can be done? The opponent you choose will finish with tears in your eyes! Ullis gritted his teeth and continued to attack, constantly shaking his shoulders and alternating dribbles with his left and right hands, trying to drive LaVine's center of gravity to change. LaVine tasted the sweetness of the first shot, and he remembered the teachings of Haugist, and looked at Ullis like a clown with his feet like roots, and Ullis saw that the shaking was ineffective, so he could only step back and shoot a jumper.

Because of the fear of LaVine's long-arm interference, Ullis's step-back step is very large, and the shooting speed looks like the shooting action is deformed. LaVine saw it clearly, jumped up the block when Ullys made a shot, fanned the shot to the other side of the court, and rolled directly to Booker's feet as he practiced, which made Booker almost step on the ball and break his foot.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! Can you throw the ball at us? LaVine waved at Booker in apology.

Booker snorted coldly and ignored LaVine. LaVine was embarrassed and had to run to the opponent's half to pick up the ball. LaVine tossed the ball to Ullis, "Taylor. Ulys, I wrote down your name, but when did you make me lose? ”

Ullis didn't have the confidence to respond to LaVine, so he had to continue to try to attack, but Lavin had the guidance of Hoogist, plus his physical talent was indeed extremely good, and Ullis didn't get anything to defend against. LaVine said excitedly: "It's finally my turn, we're still 0:0 at the moment, you can't win if you win, maybe you can keep a draw if you defend well!" ”

Ullis thought to himself, if the offense can't open the defense, can't I cure you? You prevented me from being out of the limelight just now, and now it's my turn! Ullys drove the ball to LaVine, LaVine broke through directly against Ullis, and wanted to dunk strongly, but when he took three steps from the ball, LaVine was careless, and he didn't do much protection with the ball in both hands, and the ball was cut off by Ulys's single palm, which was cut firmly and accurately, without the slightest physical contact with LaVine.

"Careless! What the boss said really didn't come true, this kid is really steady and ruthless! Ravan muttered to himself.

"How does it feel!" Ullis asked.

"It feels like you're going to lose 0:4 to me!" Before the words fell, LaVine forced the inside again, this time he vigilantly held the ball in his arms with one hand when he received the ball, so that if he wanted to cut the ball, he would definitely hit the hand, and Ullis saw that there was no hope of cutting the ball, so he blocked in front of LaVine and tried to make him an offensive foul. LaVine walked straight past Ullis and jumped for a dunk.

In the third ball, Ullis relied on his speed and good flexibility, and forcibly defended LaVine, but LaVine didn't bother to make a move, and directly hit Ullis with his back, and advanced to the basket to hit a hook shot. In the fourth, Ullies did his best and poked the ball out of LaVine's first dribble after driving the ball.

In the fifth, LaVine was at the top of the arc with one hand and his back against Ulys. Ulyss was ready to break the ball when he was waiting for LaVine to dribble, but LaVine threw the ball directly to the rebound with his back, and he forcibly turned around to get rid of Ulyss and plunged into the inside, jumped in the paint area after the run, and received the rebound's rebound ball with one hand, which was equivalent to hitting the rebound with a wall 2-over-1, and dunking the ball into the basket fiercely.

Although they belonged to different groups, everyone in the audience was still shocked by LaVine's performance, and it seemed that LaVine's fancy dunks were just appetizers when he warmed up before.

Just when everyone applauded LaVine's empty dunk, Ullis on the field made a discordant voice: "Coach, I protest, he made two shots, the first time he didn't score the second dunk, this is an invalid goal!" ”

Coach Faucier disagreed, explaining, "The ball was clearly thrown at the rebound at the beginning to get the rebound to bounce off the ball and dunk him. The first time I threw the ball and hit the board, I didn't have the intention of shooting, so it wasn't an attack, from throwing the ball to hitting the board to catching and dunking, this series of actions was obviously an attack! The goal is valid, and LaVine wins 5:2! ”

LaVine was not happy, and went back to the court to complain to Hougist and Hollis Jefferson: "I was going to get a 5-0

, but I didn't expect to make two mistakes on the offensive end. I think I'm good at protecting the ball, but this Ullis is really unguardable! ”

"That's why I told you to do your best, and to watch out for that little man! You're still a little bit less important! Hogist shook his head, also dissatisfied with LaVine's performance.

"It's the last game, Haugist vs. Booker, which of the two of you will attack first?" Coach Faucier asked.

"Booker first! He's been practicing shooting on another court for so long, I'm afraid that if I don't let him attack first, the fiery touch he has cultivated will disappear, right? Hougist was humble and did not forget to sarcastically say two words to his opponent.

Booker didn't want to talk nonsense either, holding the ball at the top of the arc and preparing to attack. Hoggist lowered his center of gravity and stared at Booker's eyes, "Young man, be friendly! Why treat all players of the same type as opponents, and not score highly? ”

"Are you kidding? If I don't defeat everyone else in the same type, how can I prove that I am the strongest? If I can't prove that I'm the strongest, who will give me a big contract in the future? Booker replied.

"You're too anxious, when you get to college, the NCAA has opponents for you to beat, as long as you can lead the team to win the championship, a high pick, and a big contract will be waiting for you."

"I have to keep myself competitive! Nobody cares about the losers, so I have to be a winner all the time! Booker said firmly.

"Come on, then!"

Booker started dribbling, and because he was slightly taller than Hougist, Booker decided to try his hand at interior offense first. Booker dribbled a few times with a substitution hand and then suddenly activated to break down the basket from the right side. Although Hoggist is slightly inferior in height, he does not suffer in strength, and he leans sideways against Booker to push him out as far as possible, and Booker is squeezed into the low position on the right side and begins to change to the back single. But if you break through the top and don't move Haugist, your back will be even more immovable. But it doesn't matter if you don't move, you can take advantage of the strength to step back and step back to make a jumper.

Booker tentatively pushed Haugist twice, and felt that he had found the right point of power, so he leaned back hard to lean back, but this time the real force leaned back like falling into a pile of marshmallows, and his back was empty, and he was powerless to borrow. It turned out that while Booker was testing Hoggist, Hoggist was also calculating Booker, and Booker hit Haugist with his back in front of him, but when Booker really made a force to rebound and lean back, Hoggist withdrew his stool.

Booker's full strength was all on Hougist, and as soon as Hougist withdrew the stool, Booker sat on the ground, and the ball was naturally pocketed by Hoggist. Hougist said pointedly: "It's a good thing for young people to dare to fight, but if you exert too much force, you may fall on your heels!" ”

"Thanks for the reminder!" Booker got up, his face pale.

"Give you the ball, you have four more chances to attack!"

Booker came to the top of the arc again to hold the ball and prepare to attack, the back shot just now was withdrawn from the stool, this time I should be careful to watch out for the point should be fine! Booker made up his mind and came to the right baseline again to start playing Hoggist with his back. Still tried a few times, but Booker didn't dare to lean back with all his strength, only used 7 percent of the force to lean back, Hoggist did not withdraw this time, Booker borrowed the strength of the backward jumper, as much as possible to raise the arc to prevent the ball from being interfered with by Hoggist, this time Hoggist was helpless, could only watch the ball fall almost vertically into the basket along a high exaggerated parabola.
