Chapter 145: Back on track

"You're on the horns again, aren't you? There are 30 teams in the league, and as long as you don't play on the same team with me, you can play as a starter! And although you and I can't start in the same team, we can win the championship! Hougist half-jokingly enlightened Russell.

Downs and Okafor were not happy to hear this, Okafor said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Your strength is indeed very strong, and thank you for helping us enlighten our teammates, we have also benefited a lot from it, but to say that following you can win the championship and get soft?" I think I'm a little too arrogant, right? ”

"Since you recognize my strong strength, and don't think that you can win the championship with my team, it seems that you must not have any confidence in your own strength!" Hougist quickly spotted a flaw in Okafor's words and fought back.

"I thought I could win by lying down with you! I didn't expect to do it myself! Okafor retorted.

"Haha, I may not mind you lying down and waiting for me to win every game, but it's hard to say whether the boss is willing to spend money to raise a player who doesn't work hard, after all, the NBA is a business league, and the money spent by the boss must always be because they bring greater benefits, of course, maybe which boss looks at you particularly pleasing to the eye, and it is possible to treat you as a father!"

"You ......" Okafor was choked on by the sharp-tongued Haugist.

"Classmates, don't talk there. Hurley, come and take the free throw, you have one more chance to add a free throw. That's when the referee showed up and helped Okafor clear the game. If someone else had changed, the referee would have appeared and given the steps and would have gone down the slope. However, the stubborn Okafor saw this as another opportunity to fight back, and he asked Haugist contemptuously: "Do you dare to punish yourself again?" ”

"You're not sick in the head, are you? Why would I do that? ”

"I'm afraid you don't dare, right?"

"What if I don't dare? Wouldn't the audience cheer me if I didn't do that? Didn't I do that, and the audience would call me a softass? Wouldn't you win if I didn't do that? Hougist walked to the free throw line, took the ball from the referee, and said to Okafor: "Classmate, you have graduated from high school, don't be so childish, try to be an adult, shut up and provoke me with basketball!" ”

After saying that, Haugist didn't wait for Okafor to answer, then raised his hand to shoot the free throw, turned and calmly left.

Okafor, of course, will not be persuaded by Haugist's two sentences, and become like an adult, focusing on basketball. Being educated by a peer in the voice of an elder is naturally unacceptable to Okafor, and if he is willing to listen to the advice of others, it is naturally not the turn of Hougist to educate him today.

Fortunately, he still has a teammate in his right mind, Downs saw that Okafor's eyes were wrong, and grabbed him and asked, "You shouldn't be trying to block and cooperate with Russell and then play Haugist in a misplaced position, right?" ”

"That's right, it's time to teach him a lesson, I know you suffered a physical confrontation with him just now, but strength is my strong point, and he will never be my opponent!"

"You were so naΓ―ve, didn't you just see it? I covered for D'Angelo and Hougist easily broke the ball and staged a big windmill dunk. ”

"That's because the quality of your cover is too poor!" Okafor said disdainfully, "Let me teach you a lesson and teach you what high-quality cover is." ”

"Even if you cover successfully and can play Haugist in a misplaced position, even D'Angelo will be cut off by him, let alone you? Let's continue to cooperate with me in the high and low positions! If you play well, you can also make a lot of dunk opportunities, you can vent your dunks! Downs said as he sent the ball to Russell.

"Just spare him this time!" Okafor held back his anger and ran forward.

Coming to the frontcourt, Downs held the ball in the high post and easily crushed into the inside, seeing that Turner still did not come to help defend, Downs shot easily through Siakam, but the hook shot out of the basket and failed to hit, Downs Okafor and Turner jumped up at the same time to compete for the rebound, although Turner was heroic, in the end two fists were invincible to four hands, the ball was in the air like a volleyball by Downs and Okafor to point each other, Turner was sandwiched in the middle and never reached the ball, and finally the ball was pointed into the basket by Okafor.

"......" Turner gritted his teeth under the basket and glared at Siakam, trying to say something but finally held back.

Hougist requested a 20-second timeout from the referee and made another personnel change, replacing Siakam with Poeltl, letting Turner defend Downs and Poeltl to defend Okafor.

"I said Haugist, I was wrong, I won't fight with them anymore, and you won't show off your superhuman strength to humiliate the two of them on the inside, just play according to your previous tactics!" Turner suddenly ran over and solemnly apologized to Hoogist.

"What? Did I hear me right? And what about the no-fly zone you just boasted about? Why don't you want your air supremacy? "Haugist didn't understand that Turner was struck by the pass point of Downs and Okafor just now.

"It's not all because of you! You are strong, you can abuse both of them at the same time, and my strength is on par with them, the two of them were abused by you as revenge and abused me together, where can I resist it! Turner told the truth with a sad face.

"So I'm not going to change the formation! Give you a big man to help you on the inside, and you can mainly defend against Downs shots. If you can't keep up with his breakthrough, let him in and leave it to Jacob to solve! But one thing you have to be careful about, if you don't prevent him from breaking in, hurry up and make up for Okafor, and don't let Jacob take care of one thing or the other. "Haugist has given him a combat mission again.

"Got it! God forbid, I hope I can withstand those two guys this time! Turner actually started to draw a cross.

"You're a ......," Haugist shook his head helplessly.

In order to better learn from Haugist's overall view, Moodier also took the initiative to ask for a break, hoping to observe as a bystander off the field. McCaw is substituted on the field, this time Haugist doesn't have to worry about the problem of the bag, as long as McCaw passes the half, even if he is not out of the middle circle, he can't put too much, if you dare to let him go, he dares to shoot, and he can really go in.

It sounds like McCaw's half-court shooting ability is very terrifying, and only Curry seems to be able to do it in the entire league, but there is a huge difference between his projection ability and Curry, Curry's shooting percentage has its own metaphysical system, and it has nothing to do with whether someone defends it; And McCaw's shooting percentage will fall off a cliff if someone defends him, most typically in the state championship final when McCaw "helped" Hougist to cut a five-double.

Therefore, McCaw is an excellent tool for Haugist. After the timeout, Horgist dribbled past half court, Booker really didn't dare to leave McCaw easily, Horgist controlled the ball at the top of the arc, waiting for his teammates' run, McCaw borrowed Poeltl's off-ball cover to run out of an empty space in the bottom corner, Moodier saw this gap at a glance on the court, thinking that Horgist should also pass the ball over, right?

Sure enough, Hoggist also jumped high and was about to pass the ball to McCaw in the bottom corner, only to see Hoggist throw the ball to the bottom corner with both hands in the air, and everyone's eyes shifted to the bottom corner, but Moodier, who was focused on observing Hoggist, found that the ball was still in Horgist's hand!

Hoggist fooled everyone with a realistic fake pass in the air, he forced the lever back up to his waist and threw the ball out again before hitting the ground, this time in a ...... direction It's under the basket! After Poeltl and McCaw covered without the ball just now, McCaw got an empty opportunity in the bottom corner, whether it was Booker who was blocked or Okafor who was about to change the defense, the attention was on McCaw, and Hougist's fake pass led everyone's attention to the bottom corner, and Poeltl, who rushed to the basket to grab the rebound after the cover, was forgotten by everyone.

Of course, there was another person on the court who remembered Poeltl, and that was Hougist, who had already spotted Poeltl before passing the ball, so he made up his mind to fake the pass, draw everyone's attention to the bottom corner, and then use his waist strength to pull the ball back and throw it back to the basket.

The audience couldn't help but sigh, this level of pull-up passing, including the previous limit turn and pull-up layup, I'm afraid only the basketball god Jordan, LeBron before weight gain. James and the big injury before Derek. Ross did it!

Hougist's cannonball pass was fast, and the ball flew into Poeltl's arms before everyone could react. Poeltl was surprised by the ball that suddenly appeared in his arms, but the ball was already in his hands, and the others did not react, so why not take the opportunity to deduct one? Poeltl didn't think about the ball, and flew directly to dunk the ball into the basket with both hands.

The audience once again burst into a storm of cheers, Poeltl was still wondering why his dunk would be treated the same as Hoggist, and when he turned around and saw that Hougist was waving to the audience, he realized that the cheer was for Hougist. Poeltl was lonely when he saw Hougist give him a thumbs up, and the audience gave Poeltl a cheer, and Poeltl gratefully held out his finger at Hoogist.

There are so many wonderful shots that Hoggist contributed today, it is simply dizzying, and the audience feels that Hoggist seems to be a player living in the essence of the highlights, and every ball seems to be handled with gorgeous movements and the most reasonable way. It's just that although this style of play is pleasing to the eye, at the same time, many viewers are worried about whether Hoggist will be injured and prematurely withered like Rose if he continues to play in this style.

What a keen eye! Moodier lamented that Poeltl's chances are definitely not something that can be passed later, unless he can predict the movement of his teammates and opponents like Haugist! How did this nuanced control of the entire pitch come about? Is this also talent? Moodier was determined to ask Hoggist for advice after the game.

And Downs and Okafor can't let the opponent's interior line show off in their own penalty area without paying any price, so the two of them came to the backcourt of the West in a menacing manner to prepare for the color!

Downs took the ball in the high post, and found that the person who defended him was replaced by Turner, Downs had played Turner frequently several times before, so he was very confident in the face of Turner, and dribbled directly to break through, Turner acted according to the plan and let Downs rush into the inside, and then accelerated to make up for Okafor, but he didn't want Downs to jump directly from one step inside the free throw line, and staged a violent dunk through Poeltl.

"It seems that this Downs is really a genius, and he can actually complete this kind of long-distance gliding dunk in the free throw line!" A middle-aged black man watching the game from the sidelines VIP seat praised.

"Dad, Downs is tall and has long arms, and completing this level of slamming buckle doesn't look as shocking as Howist!" An adolescent next to him discussed.

"Markle, we still pay too little attention to the West, if it weren't for the McDonald's All-Star this time, I didn't know there was such a strong kid in the West!" The middle-aged black man shook his head.

"Dad, it's just that you're lonely, he's already a myth in the high school basketball world, and he was deeply appreciated by LeBron in his freshman year, and he has been training with the Spurs in the summers of high school! According to the grapevine, Kehuai. Leonard's shooting was taught by Hoggist! The kid, named Markle, mentioned that Haugist's face was full of adoration.

"Nonsense, Spurs shooting coach Chip. Mr. England is the best shooting coach in the world, Leonard's shooting is evolving every year, of course, thanks to him, and I signed you up for his basketball camp this summer! Father said.

"Really? That's great! Thank you Dad, I will definitely become the strongest high school student like Haugist in 2 years, so that everyone will remember me Markle. Fultz's name! ”

"Good son, dad is optimistic about you!" A relieved smile appeared on my father's face.

Downs dunked Poeltl to make up for the mistake of the defensive leak, and Turner gloated and asked Hoggist: "Haha, you also have miscalculations!" You didn't expect Downs to be so jumping, did you? ”

"Are you laughing at me for being shackled?" Poeltl asked awkwardly.

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm just a rare time to see when Hoggist's tactics are miscalculated, I really can't control myself!" Turner laughed and apologized to Poeltl.

"What's this, I'm not a god, every step can be calculated, do you really regard me as your God?" Hougist gave Turner a blank look, and the dribble slowly and leisurely walked up to the frontcourt.

Until the third quarter, the Eastern High School Stars did not replace Downs and Okafor, the East did not play Downs and Okafor, and the West did not dare to play Haugist and Turner, Downs and Okafor's offensive success rate exceeded sixty percent, while the three-point shooting rate on the West side was not high, Hougist passed a few beautiful vacant positions, but because the opponent's timely defense McCaw and Oubre did not hit a high rate, in the end, Haugist could only make a few strong three-pointers by himself, keeping the difference at 15 points.
