Chapter Seventy-Two: The Battle of the Closed Camp

“Yeah!” Ravan had already run out of the dormitory to celebrate. In the live broadcast screen, the Heat's last fight was also ruthlessly stifled by the Mavericks, Chalmers wanted to shoot another three-pointer on the wing, but was stealed by Terry, the ball went to Kidd, Bosh came up to foul, but there was no hope in his eyes. The camera shows the Mavericks bench, and Cuban has already begun to celebrate their first championship in team history with the players on the bench!

Kidd hit both free throws, the Heat called a timeout, the front court kicked off, James assisted Chalmers to shoot a difficult turn back three-pointer in the bottom corner, but it was all meaningless, the time ran out, the score was fixed at 105:95, and the Mavericks avenged the revenge of five years ago. also defeated the opponent with a score of 4:2 and won the championship!

The hallway is filled with LaVine's noise, he is crazier than the Dallas local fans on the TV, Hollis Jefferson also came out to celebrate with LaVine after watching the game, there is not much movement in the other rooms, I guess the rest of the people are Heat fans or neutral fans!

Haugist pulls out his phone to comfort LeBron and finds him still turned off. "That's it! Let him calm down first, and let's talk about it later in the draft! ”

Lying back in bed, Hoggist couldn't help but sum up the lessons of the season. James and Wade Bosh wanted to emulate the Celtics' 07-08 season Big Three winning model, but the success failed, the objective reason is that the three's playing style is somewhat overlapping, and the rest of the bench players are limited, but everyone's subjective ideas on the court Horgist is not good at speculation, but he always feels that LeBron's overall performance in the finals is not very normal.

As the team's number one star, LeBron only averaged 15 shots and 17.8 points per game, not to mention the 18.8 shots and 26.7 points in the regular season, which is a significant drop compared with the average of 17.8 shots and 23.7 points in the playoffs. Wade and Bosh's stats fluctuate little from the regular season playoffs to the Finals.

LeBron's mentality in the finals has changed a bit! Is this too much to win? Reduce unreasonable shots? But the hit rate hasn't improved, right? Want to give the ball to a teammate in an open space? The number of assists is also 0.2 less than the average of the regular game! What the hell is going on? Let's wait until LeBron is in a better mood to ask him! Hoggist thought.

But when it comes to the Mavericks, Hoggist is really conquered, and this series has played a tenacious spirit that he has never seen before. The Mavericks team that lost to the Heat in the 05-06 season now has only Dirk. Nowitzki and Jason. The two Terry are still on the team, and the Heat happen to have only Dwayne left. Wade and Udonis. The two Haslem are on the team. Nowitzki and Terry played the most tenacious in the entire finals, especially in the last two games, Terry played particularly well, and Haugist once suspected that it was because he bought Terry's jersey to shine on him.

However, there is another interesting detail that has a relationship with both teams, and there is a player, Eric Brown, who is known as the "second center in the West". Dampier, lost to the Heat in the 05-06 season with the Mavericks, Dampier joined the Heat but lost to the Mavericks this season, he really has to be the runner-up with Dampier, is he born undercover?

Watching the Mavericks and a bunch of old guys fight hard for every ball in the Finals, and then looking at LeBron's play, Hougist feels even more problematic.

The Finals have come to an end, the NBA has officially entered the offseason, and Hoggist is already looking forward to the summer league at the end of June. On the last day of the camp on June 20th, Hoggist had an in-depth understanding of the level of the camp members, and in the following days he kept pulling the other two local students in the "GDP" group with high points. Desmond and George. Nogueira is in special training, both of them are tall interior players, and Hougist specially trains him to practice blocking and dismantling and basket single defense, and the ability to assist in the restricted area to prepare for the final battle.

After all, although he is strong, there are no particularly strong players in the "GDP" group except for LaVine and Hollis Jefferson, and the opposite "Twin Towers" group Booker, Whitehead, Anderson, Sabonis, and Ullis are all masters on par with LaVine and Hollis Jefferson. Sabonis and Anderson, in particular, are absolute strong points on the inside of this training camp, and if you don't set up early, you will definitely suffer when you play the game.

On June 19, the two groups were divided into teams in advance, and the eliminated students acted as spectators. Coach Fogier is the coach of the "GDP" group, and Coach Budenholzer is the coach of the "Twin Towers" group.

After the assignment was completed, Coach Faucier stood in the center circle and announced: "We have invited three Spurs players to guest referee for tomorrow's game. Green, Tiago. Split and our eternal team spirit, 'Red Mamba' Matt. Bonner! ”

Bonner's popularity in San Antonio is inexplicably high, and it seems to be only slightly less than the GDP three. The local students had a mediocre response to the first two names, but they all cheered when they heard Bonner's name.

"Why are you reacting so much to Bonner?" Ravan asked Desmond puzzled.

"Bang Shen is the soul of our Spurs, and the four big Mambari in the league, Huang Mamba Brandon. Roy has both knee meniscus removed, and he has been semi-retired this season, although he has played a few good games in the playoffs, but it is estimated that it is just a return to the past; White Manba Bryan. Scala Bryan transferred to the Bulls this season, and there are few opportunities to play, the black and red mambas are the only two mamas left, we must cherish them, what status of the black mamba we have to give the same treatment to the red mamba! Desmond explained.

"You are forcibly mamba! The Black Mamba is a supergiant at the historical level, and Bonner is still a grade! Laven said.

"Who said that my Bangshen has a three-point shooting rate of 45.7% this season, with an average of 1.6 shots per game, and the Black Mamba has a three-point shooting rate of only 32.3% this season, with an average of only 1.4 per game!" Desmond said proudly.

"Uh...... Well, you win! Ravan was retorted and had nothing to say.

"You two teams train hard today and try to play a good game tomorrow." Coach Faucier instructed.

Hougist continues to lead the players to focus on practicing the tacit understanding of defense, Hoggist is not unaware of offense, but in the face of opponents of this level, there is no need to worry about offensive dumbness with him, so it is advisable to focus on defense first.

And Booker is practicing offensive routines, they know that Hougist is likely to be in vain after watching Hougist's heads-up in the face of Leonard's crazy defensive fouls, so they decided to fight offensively, as long as they can do more blossoming on the offensive end, so that the opponent is unable to defend, then there is still hope for victory!

"David, George, you are all elites in school, you are all stars, I won't say anything else, you must do your best to prevent the other party's inside line, tomorrow's success or failure depends on the two of you!" Hoggist knew that in order for these two to play well, it was indispensable to praise them to boost their self-confidence, so that they could better exert their subjective initiative.

"By us? You're so strong, and you still have to rely on us? Desmond asked incredulously.

"Of course, basketball is a five-person sport, so of course we have to work together! And brother, I'm usually very low-key, and I won't monopolize things that are in the limelight! Hoggist laughed.

If Henry wants to hear this, he has to laugh off his big teeth, and he is low-key and doesn't like to be showy! In Dallas, he has been in the limelight alone, and I wish that all fans in Dallas now know him.

"Well, since you've said so, we'll do our best."

"So good! After tomorrow, you'll definitely be on the right track in San Antonio High School basketball! Hoggist assured.

The next day, the decisive battle of the training camp officially kicked off. Coach Fogier and Coach Budenholzer changed their usual training outfits and changed into official game suits, which made everyone feel that the game was very formal.

"We played this game in full accordance with the rules of the NBA, it is a multiple test of your physical, technical and mental strength, and I hope you can show as much as you can learn in training camp these days, and let me see how proud you are to be an elite player!" Coach Faucier gave an inspirational speech before the game.

"Understood!" The crowd responded in unison.

"Okay, both sides start the game, let's start the game!" Coach Fogiel announced.

The players on both sides stood still, Sabonis, who was 6'8", and David, who was 6'7", was 6'7". Desmond stood in the center circle and prepared to jump the ball. The referee who kicked off the kick-off was none other than Team Soul Bonner, and he also won the cheers of the crowd on the field.

Needless to say, Sabonis, who is taller and faster in terms of arm span, touched the ball first and gave it directly to Booker. Booker is facing Hollis Jefferson?

"Why doesn't Hoggist dare to defend me?" Booker said defiantly.

"His defensive level is too good, a master like you has to be me to defend." Hollis Jefferson laughed. This is the tactic they have developed before, allowing the weak and defensive Hollis Jefferson to lock in the opponent's first scoring point. Hougist had used this tactic in the Nevada League finals before, defending McCaw with only 10 of 49 shots. It's just that the strongest defender on the team at that time was Hougist, and now the best defender in this improvised team is Hollis Jefferson.

After half a month of joint training, Booker also knew that Hollis Jefferson was great on the defensive end, and he didn't dare to try to attack easily, so he directly hoisted the ball to Sabonis on the inside. Sabonis also didn't routineize Desmond, he directly used his body to hit back, Desmond naturally resisted hard, but after all, the level was poor, Desmond was defeated and retreated, and he was about to be pushed to the basket before he remembered the power skills that Hougist taught him before.

Desmond leaned forward at a sixty-degree angle, straightened his knees and waist, locked the ankle joint, and used his arm to cushion his chest against Sabonis, using the triangle to disperse Sabonis's lateral force.

Desmond tasted the sweetness of Professor Hoggist's tricks, and was complacent, but the situation on the field was changing, and how could it give people a chance to fantasize. After all, if you have reached the level of Sabonis, how can you only use brute force? He leaned on Desmond, but instead borrowed Desmond's immobile body as a shaft, and turned his back to hook his hand and brushed directly into the net.

"Big brother! Although as the saying goes, 'Life must be happy!' But when you don't have a dead ball, you better focus and wait until the game is over to win, okay? Hoggist reminded.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been abused by Sabonis for half a month, I didn't expect that I was able to withstand his back beating according to the skills you taught, and I was too excited for a while before I got distracted! I'll be sure to pay attention next time! Desmond hurriedly complained to his teammates.

Hougist dribbled across the half-court and motioned for everyone to pull away, and LaVine, Hollis Jefferson, Desmond, and Nogueira all moved to the weak side to prepare for the famous Kobe Bryant Tactic 1 - one hit and four looks. Hougist dribbled on the left wing, and Desmond and Nogueira stood on the weak side to take Anderson and Sabonis off the paint. Hollis Jefferson quietly set up a cover in the bottom corner, and LaVine pretended to be nonchalant to move to the bottom corner, and then used Hollis Jefferson's cover to slip to the bottom line.

Seeing that the tactics were working, LaVine had already run out of the way, throwing the ball directly to the basket, LaVine stepped and twisted his waist, jumped high, and after receiving the ball in the air, he turned and scored with a 180° back dunk.

Coach Budenholzer's nose was crooked when he saw this tactic, and he yelled at Coach Focier on the other side of the field: "What kind of wild tactic are you? Isn't this nonsense? ”

"Hey, Mike! easy,easy! As for being so angry! But don't tell me, I don't have what it takes to come up with such a whimsical tactic! The person who uses the brainless tactic of one dozen and four to reduce the vigilance of the opponent, but lets the four people on the weak side cooperate to create a vacancy, and the person who comes up with this tactic can be called Manu in the tactical world! Coach Focier approves of this tactic, and there is no need to think that this routine must be the handiwork of Hoogist.

Ullis of the Twin Towers dribbled across the halfcourt, forced LaVine to make a layup, the ball was blocked by LaVine frontally, and fell into Anderson's hands, Anderson shook a little, Nogueira was shaken up, and Anderson took advantage of the time difference to easily put the ball into the basket under the basket.
