"Alas, the main thing is that I underestimate you too much, it seems that your organization and offensive skills are quite strong, you can be called a little Haugist." Hollis Jefferson boasted in a weird way.

Booker listened to the first half of the sentence was quite beautiful, but at the end of the hearing, he actually said that he was "Little Haugist", usually you have to say that I am "Little Kobe", "Little Wade" and the like, which is also a good compliment, after all, Kobe Wade is much higher than us. But Hollis Jefferson actually called me "Little Haugist", is my level far worse than Haugist?

"Why do you always compare me to Haugist? Are you trying to embarrass me? Booker asked dissatisfied.

"I'll just mention it casually, don't take it to heart, after all, there is still a big gap between you and Haugist!" Hollis-Jefferson said this and ignored Booker.

Booker was even more furious when he heard this, and was about to have a seizure, when Anderson's second free throw also bounced out of the basket. Hollis Jefferson picked up the rebound and passed to Hoggist to organize the offense.

Haugist asked Nogueira to block at the top of the arc, and Booker decided that Haugist was ready to let Nogueira use his speed to break Anderson, so he took the initiative to switch defenses with Anderson. Hoggist took advantage of Nogueira's cover to come to the flank, faced Anderson's defense, and did not break inside.

Hougist continued to use the change of direction and rhythm to interfere with Anderson's slow footsteps, Hougist saw Anderson's left foot in front, and then made a forward change of direction to break through from Anderson's left side, Anderson's left foot in front of him could not be sideways to defend, and fell behind Hougist, Hoggist repeated his old tricks, burst into the inside line to make a layup, and in the face of Sabonis's supplementary defense, he gave the ball to Desmond again, and Desmond received the ball and scored an easy dunk.

The pace of the game on both sides was very fast, and the physical exertion was very serious, except for Hougist and Hollis Jefferson, the rest were basically out of breath, but in order to get everyone involved, the coaches on both sides still carried out a large rotation of five up and five down, because Hoggist did not show much desire to attack, so the difference between the two teams in the first quarter was not large, the GDP team led by 5 points, and the two teams switched to the bench at the same time with 3 minutes left in the first quarter.

The bench players on both sides had limited strength, and they devoted their limited playing time to unlimited service to the iron, and the GDP team led by 3 points at 24-21 after the first quarter. After less than 2 minutes in the second quarter, the coaches on both sides couldn't stand the prolific iron efficiency and infinite switchback runs on the court, so they replaced the starting players again.

Although he rested for nearly 5 minutes, but the physical strength consumed by 5 to 5 on the field was not so easy to replenish back, in the face of a group of players who were not in the best condition, Hoggist made a great effort, combined with the throw, and a person scored 15 points in a row in 4 minutes, stretching the difference to more than 10 points; And almost every goal of Hougist on the offensive end can help Hollis Jefferson tease Booker on the defensive end, and finally Hollis Jefferson also succeeded in making Booker lose control of his emotions, and the manic Booker brutally did a few balls and was prevented, but before Hollis Jefferson could enjoy the results, Booker was replaced by Coach Budenholzer and thrown to the end of the bench to "calm down".

Coach Budenholzer sent his own educated Ulys. After some "careful teaching", Ullis finally learned to cooperate and win-win, and began to take on the task of handing the ball to the inside. Sabonis and Anderson were slightly more physically fit than Desmond and Nogueila, and they played several waves in a row. The widening difference is close to less than 10 points.

Seeing that his two interior lines were already showing signs of decline, Hoggist motioned for Hollis Jefferson to start defending the interior. Rather than Booker's direct hanging pass or blocking and splitting the ball to the inside, Ullis prefers the Haugist-style break-through ball, maybe this is his style of play, or maybe he thinks in his bones that he is a player of the same level as Hoggist, so he also needs to prove his ability in this way?

Ullis used Hougist's way to let Anderson block at the top of the arc, and after passing LaVine, he attracted Desmond's defensive firepower under the basket, and then distributed the ball to Sabonis, who got the vacant space, Sabonis jumped up and prepared to dunk, but was stabbed off from behind by Hollis Jefferson, who assisted in the defense, Desmond received the ball and threw it vigorously to LaVine, who had stolen it, LaVine started smoothly when the opponent's half was unguarded, bounced enough, and completed the last attack of the first half with a Dr. J-style arm-swinging windmill dunk.

At halftime, the GDP team led the Twin Towers 50-41. The players on both sides sit on the sidelines to rest and rehydrate. Coach Faucier asked Haugist curiously: "You worked out all those strange tactics?" ”

"Strange...... What's weird? ”

"Pretending to open the singles, piling up a large number of personnel on the weak side, but using the chaotic and crowded personnel on the weak side, and the characteristics of not easy to follow up and defend to create vacancies for the players, such an offensive idea is very strange! How did you come up with the idea? ”

"This is what I got from Mr. Holzman's Starburst tactics, which are sideline ball tactics, and I guess if you can get a chance to pull away from the singles, then you can think of the ball carrier as the one who serves on the sideline, and the four people on the weak side can cover each other and run out of the open space easily."

"Awesome, your thinking is very lively, to be honest, Mike and I are not as good as you when it comes to treachery!" Coach Fusier shook his head, "By the way, you felt very good when you played Leonard, and you made fouls continuously, as if he couldn't prevent you, why didn't you play during today's game?" ”

"You don't know! I was able to make a lot of fouls that day, and it was all because of Coach Budenholzer's unfair rules, and he insisted that foul free throws don't make the game, so Leonard didn't give me free throws for defensive fouls, he just asked me to restart the offense. I argued with reason, and he said I was opportunistic. Leonard's task is not to let me score, he thinks that the foul under this rule is simply 0 cost, anyway, he can't prevent me from scoring as long as he fouls me, so he fouls so simply! Speaking of the one-on-one that day, Hougist was always in the mood for Budenholzer. But in front of everyone, he couldn't say that Budenholzer guaranteed a big contract for scoring a goal, so everyone didn't understand why Hoggist had such a big grudge against coach Budenholzer for not giving free throws.

Only Coach Flucier, who knew the inside story, nodded understandingly, and said to himself: "No wonder Mike ran outside alone to smoke and sulk after Greg called you upstairs that day." ”

"Also, I've always been low-key, of course I can't be in the limelight alone in this competition, I have to participate in everyone!" Hougist began to feign modesty again.

"Stop, stop, you are a person who has scored five doubles and scored 83 points and said that you are low-key, who believes it!" Coach Fogier didn't buy Hoggist's comments either.

"In short, you can rest assured that you can win." Hougist shrugged.

On the other side of the court, Budenholzer was still cooling Booker, "You are the core of the team, only if you distribute the ball reasonably and shoot reasonably we can win!" Just now, the opposite side has begun to shrink the inside line of the help defense, your opportunity is here, don't play by yourself, give the ball to the inside, and wait until the inside line attracts the bag clip to divide the ball, aren't those empty spaces your chance! Remember, only the calmest people on the field get their chances! ”

Booker didn't speak, staring straight ahead with a blank gaze and nodding thoughtfully.

"Who's that, bring another glass of ice water, let Devin calm down again!" Budenholzer instructed.

Booker took the ice water, but poured it directly on his head, and the whole person was excited, and his eyes returned to Qingling from a sluggish state, "I won't be instigated by their words anymore, thank you coach!" ”

Budenholzer nodded, he really wanted to lead the team to defeat Haugist, because he always thought that Haugist was not a down-to-earth child, and if he really came to the Spurs in the future, he would definitely spoil a pot of soup with mouse, so he had to do his best to force Haugist to show his bad side, so that Popovich would be disappointed in him and give up the idea of getting him.

Although Budenholzer's intentions were not authentic, they inadvertently saved Booker's mentality of being on the verge of collapse and gave him a new understanding and awareness of the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Booker really insisted on playing inside-out like a different person, giving each ball to the inside first, attacking by the inside line if he didn't help defense, and playing by himself if he had help defense, and soon approached the point difference to within 5 points, forcing Coach Fucier to ask for a timeout.

"You two really can't stop it? Still haven't done your best? You are both about the same height and weight, why are you so easily beaten by each other? Especially you Noguera! Your opposing Anderson is as slow as a snail, why are you always being shaken by him? Coach Phosil asked, puzzled.

"How do I know, every time I think I can cover him or break the ball, but my cap jumps and he doesn't jump yet! His rhythm is too hard to grasp! Nogueira complained.

"Show me the stats on the other side." Hogist interjected coldly beside him.

"Huh?" Coach Flucier didn't react for a moment.

"Show me the fouls on Sabonis and Anderson on the other side!" Hougist urged, after all, the timeout was limited.

Coach Fogiel quickly asked the staff to look through the stats, Sabonis had three fouls, and Anderson only had two.

Haugess nodded, "I'll knock them both down!" ”

"Boss, you have to calm down! Just spew a couple of trash words with them, don't do it! Ravan hurriedly dissuaded.

"Are your brain circuits straight? When I say 'fight' it' it's not 'fight' go down! Hoggist gave Raven a blank look.

"Isn't it the same?" Ravan scratched his head.

"Raven, are you a goldfish brain? Only have 7 seconds of memory? Hollis Jefferson reminded: "Hoggist meant to make a foul to get the two opposing interior players off the court. ”

LaVine patted his head and then remembered, "Look at my memory, they are far worse than Leonard!" ”

"You two listen to me, you guys come out to cover me later, the quality doesn't need to be too good, there is only one requirement, you must block Booker to the death, force your defenders to switch defenses with Booker, create a chance for me to make a mistake, and I'll leave the rest to me!" I believe you still have this ability, right? Haugist instructed Desmond and Nogueira.

"Understood, let's try our best!" Nogueira said.

"Not as much as possible, but by all means!" Haugist emphasized.

"Okay!" Desmond nodded.

After the timeout, Hougist called for a block at the top of the arc, Desmond moved to the upper line, and set up a cover in front of Booker's diagonal front, this cover position is actually very bad, although it can block the defender of the ball carrier, so that the ball carrier defender can only choose to go around the back or change the defense, and cannot grab it from in front of him, but the direction of this cover is not pointing to the inside, and the ball carrier can only move to the wing with such a cover.

But this is enough, Hougist moved to the left with the cover, because Booker also knew that such a block Haugist could not get into the interior, so he chose to go around, and Hoggist saw that the opponent did not change the defense, so he used the cover to shoot a three-pointer directly.

"You can shoot this kind of ball in the first half, and you still choose to let me shoot?" Hogist scoffed. But Booker was still at peace, smiled back, and ran to the front without saying anything.

It seems that Budenholzer's ability to do psychological work is quite strong, and he actually smoothed out the fried Booker! Hoggist said darkly. But Hogist is not in a hurry, even if you can score the ball, I will let you score two points, I will score three points back, and you won't change your defense if you score a few more?

Back on the defensive end, Hougist and Hollis Jefferson were no longer helping the interior defense, and Sabonis hit another two-pointer under the basket. Back to Hoggist, this time it was Nogueira who blocked Hoggist, Booker still chose to go around, and Hoggist hit three points again.

"We played quite harmoniously, I let you give you two points, you let me put three points, everyone brushed the data together, and in the end we took away the victory, it's really beautiful!" Hougist doesn't care whether Booker's mood has sublimated or not, anyway, he is addicted.

"Then let's see whose touch breaks first! We play the basket, you float outside and shoot threes, I don't know who can last a little longer? Booker couldn't help but fight back.

I thought you could endure it for long! That's a failure! Hoggist smiled secretly in his heart, no matter how calm you look, a fight shows that your mentality has changed, and you will definitely change your defense within two rounds!
