Chapter 182: The Demon is one foot high
And Hoggist on the court is also thinking in his heart, let them play 6:0 at the beginning, which should almost make Downs believe that I underestimated the enemy, and now I will improve my strength a little and see what changes they have. So Hougist began to reach for the ball, "Give me the ball, I want to go home!" ”
"What did you say, boss?" Vaughn could barely believe his ears.
"I mean give me the ball, I'm going to send them home!" Hoggist laughed, "Just kidding you guys, it's only 6 points behind, it's a little bit!" ”
Downs saw Hoggist get the ball, and said secretly in his heart: "I can't hold my breath and want to go out in person, it seems that the rest of your team doesn't have any great ability!" ”
Horgist had the ball past half court, he played so many games in the NCAA, he always enjoyed the double bag treatment, but Kentucky did not have a bag, 6 feet 8 inches Alex . Perthers confidently stood in front of Hougist.
Horgist prefers confident opponents, as he has never faced an opponent in college who can match Leonard's defense, and for opponents who are not as good as Leonard's defense, self-confidence equals arrogance.
Horgist used his trademark step-back jumper to cut Alex's head for an easy three-pointer, but instead arrogantly provoked: "Why don't you all cover me?" This is a blatant contempt for me! ”
"It seems that he has begun to take the initiative to improve his state, great, just like this, little by little to force your strongest state out, and then consume it, and after that, the trend on the field will be all in my hands!" Downs assessed Hoggist's current form based on the ability he showed in last year's encounter, and believes that Hoggist has at least entered mid-range supergod mode, and Hoggist should only be able to hold out from half court to three quarters at this intensity.
But Hogist was sneering in his heart, "Downs must have thought that I turned on the super god mode to improve my state, it depends on how he responds to his next move, but seriously, let alone the super god state, you haven't been able to force out my own strength!" ”
When it was Kentucky's turn to attack, they were quite experienced on the offensive end, allowing Alex, who was opposite Hoggist, to hide in the bottom corner to fend for himself, minimizing the role of defensive snag Hoggist on the defensive end and giving the remaining four more space to play. The ball was rightfully fed to Cauley Stein, who was in supergod mode.
Cauley Stein received the ball in the low post, and in his imagination, he was in a state of supergodhood, and he could push Turner away with a single back, turn around and dunk with both hands. But the reality confused him, his back did not squeeze Turner as he imagined, but he was like he was on the wall, and he was almost stumbled by the reaction force and almost fell into the mud.
What's going on? Did he also enter the supergod mode early? Cauley-Stein was shocked, but after thinking about it, according to Carl's inference, that Hurley has entered the supergod mode, and this Turner has also entered the supergod mode in order to defend the master, and the second half is really Carl's personal show!
Thinking of this, Cauley-Stein was in high spirits, and handed the ball back to Aaron on the outside to stabilize his position, Aaron hoisted the ball again to Cauley-Stein, who returned to the low post, Cauley-Stein took the ball with his back and shook it with his footsteps, turned over and hooked his hand to throw, but he didn't expect the ball to be fanned out by Turner with the same block as Cauley-Stein just now.
This block didn't say that Cauley-Stein didn't expect it, even Turner himself didn't expect it, until Vaughn picked up the rebound and started the fast down, Turner came back to his senses, Vaughn's fast layup bounced out under Andrew's interference, fortunately, although Hougist was in the bottom corner, he was concerned about the overall situation, and quickly followed up to support Vaughn as soon as possible after the block, and sent the bounced ball back to the basket directly in the air.
Hougist made it clear last year that the more the strength of the supergod mode increases, the greater the loss of body and spirit, and the shorter the time it can last, after a year of exploration and practice, he himself has felt the gains and side effects brought by the supergod mode, as Haugist introduced. Therefore, in Downs's opinion, the super god mode should be regarded as a decisive nirvana, and it must be used correctly and the rest of the game to really work. ,
And for the supergod mode, Howgist has studied more thoroughly than Downs, so Downs was a little worried when he saw Turner block Cauley Stein, this is a 40-minute protracted battle, Howgist can improve his ability to hold on to a whole game This Downs is clear, but can Turner also use the supergod mode to improve the ability of a whole game? Downs could only hold out for half the court, and it was impossible for Turner's talent to surpass him, so Downs seriously suspected that Hougist and Turner did not force themselves to improve their abilities, but that their strength had reached the height that Cowley Stein could only achieve when he entered supergod mode through hard training.
According to the data of this year's NCAA, the UNLV starting five Tigers are significantly higher than Howgist, and the other four are only in the middle of the best. If that's the case, it's normal for people not to take Kentucky seriously.
Fortunately, Vaughn's layup did not give Downs a reassurance, it seems that he is too worried, his talent among his peers is already super-first-class, and he did not delay training in his freshman year, and the level cannot be thrown away by others so much, this time Downs is more sure that Turner and Haugist must have forcibly improved their state. As long as everyone is equal, Downs is sure to defeat his opponent.
And Turner, who came back to his senses, looked at Hoggist who had returned from scoring in the front court in disbelief, and was about to raise the doubts in his heart, McCaw first jumped out from the side and put his arm around his shoulder and asked, "Are you crazy?" Turn on the super god mode so early? ”
"The problem is that I don't!" Turner said in a low voice.
"Impossible! Looking at Cauley Stein's block of your ball, it is obvious that you have entered a supergod state, and you can play evenly with him, is it your own strength? McCaw didn't believe Turner.
"Don't talk about it, defend well! We're still behind! Hougist came back and yelled at them.
Turner looked at Haugist in bewilderment, and he was also trying to figure out why he hadn't entered supergod mode to tie with Cauley Stein. But Hogist told him with his eyes to be at ease, and Turner had to suppress his suspicions.
Cauley Stein couldn't go this way, Alex had to contain Hougist's defense on the offensive end, Downs needed to continue to lurk, and the burden of Kentucky's offense naturally fell on the Harrison brothers.
Although Vaughn was stealed at the beginning of the game, and he was easily interfered with when he got off the basket just now, is he really a soft persimmon? Be! Vaughn is very comprehensive, organizing, scoring, defending everything, but none of them are particularly outstanding, in high school he was all-around like LeBron Jr., but in college his progress is very limited, to say that it sounds like a panacea, an all-round player, to say a little ugly...... Forget it or don't talk about it.
Although Vaughn is a soft persimmon relative to others in UNLV, it is not something that people from other teams can handle at will, and if UNLV's soft persimmon is not good, it will collapse the teeth of other teams. Andrew's breakthrough was closely guarded by Vaughn, and Andrew's several emergency stops and changes of direction only flashed a trace of space, and under hesitation, Andrew did not make a hasty move, retreating to the top of the arc from the new organization.
At this critical moment, McCaw was a little distracted, Aaron took the opportunity to accelerate the empty cut and slipped to the basket, the brothers seemed to have telepathy, Andrew didn't look at the cannonball pass straight to the basket, Aaron received the ball and got up directly to the basket, even passed the ball to the basket, the action was in one go, very smooth, but unfortunately the UNLV basket was not empty, Turner gave him a pegboard cap directly from the side of the rebound Aaron.
It's a pity that Kentucky's inner line is not a vegetarian, and Cowley Stein, who is in super god mode, has a quick eye, and takes the ball and directly pulls up his hands on the spot and dunks vigorously.
McCaw immediately raised his hand to show self-blame, "I was careless, wait for me to open the super god mode to blow him up!" ”
Hogist grabbed him, "You are careless, don't you just be more serious and cautious later, why do you have to use the super god mode?" Wouldn't you be serious about playing if you weren't super god? ”
McCaw was about to argue, Turner had already driven the ball out, and Hougist caught the ball and threw it off: "No one is allowed to open Super God Mode today without my permission!" He dribbled and raced to the frontcourt.
Hougist dribbled to the front court but had no intention of slowing down at all, and received the ball directly on the three-point line, and the European step simply passed Alex, but "mistakenly" plunged into the elbow area of Aaron's defense, Aaron stood up and prepared to make a dribble hit, but he didn't expect Hoggist to jump directly in the air and turn his back to him to distribute the ball to McCaw, who followed up.
McCaw was still thinking about the fact that Hougist was not allowed to open the super god mode to improve his state, and suddenly received the ball and was stunned for a moment, but he was a young man with a simple mind and a warm blood, and his heart said that if he didn't use it, he wouldn't use it! Anyway, when Lao Tzu didn't know what the super god mode was, it wasn't a hundred shots!
McCaw, who figured it out, no longer hesitated, and pulled up before Alex's defense was in place, and directly shot a three-pointer, tying the score strongly.
Kentucky's head coach "Stormtroopers" John Brown. Calipari hurriedly asked for a timeout, in his opinion, today's game is a close match, it is very important to grab the start, he was very satisfied with the strong start of 6:0, but he didn't expect to be tied by the opponent so easily, Calipari needs a timeout to wake up the players on the field.
The Kentucky Tigers also took advantage of the pause to discuss it seriously.
"This Haugist. Hurley is a bug! One person can't guard him, two people can guard him and he can pass the ball, no wonder people don't look down on us! In the future, don't say that others underestimate the enemy, our level is not worthy of being their opponent at all! Alex, who was the most confident, was hit the hardest, and he was the first to be discouraged.
"Don't say that, Karl hasn't made a name for himself yet!" Cauley Stein patted Alex on the back to cheer him up, "Carl held back for more than half a month, just to deal with Hoggist, didn't we also have a prep meeting before the game?" Hold on, as long as you resist the first half, you can watch Carl's solo performance in the second half and win easily! ”
"But it's really desperate to play like this! We went to great lengths to score one, and in the end we were able to return one without much effort, and you say we are a bag or a single defense? Although Aaron didn't approve of Alex's easy abandonment, he didn't want Hougist to bully him like this.
"It's a simple question, and we can reduce it to the most intuitive numerical comparison, whether Hoggist hits well in one-on-one shots or his teammates hit well when they're in the open space, isn't it?" Downs analyzed.
"So which side has the highest hit percentage?" Aaron asked.
Andrew said without thinking, "Do you still need to ask?" It must be a high hit rate in the open space! ”
"I think it's still a high hit rate when Hoggist is one-on-one, and even if others have a vacancy, we can still change the defense and make up for it, but Hoggist is tall and has long arms and jumps high, and I am so close to X, he just jumps up and shoots as if I don't exist, and he scores so simply, if it weren't for me who was humiliated, I would definitely say that this is not!" Alex, who had just been humiliated by Hoggist's face-to-face goal, said angrily.
"Please, dude, he scored a goal on your head too, are you so afraid of him?" Cowley-Stein said helplessly.
"I'm not afraid of him, I'm not afraid of losing face, I can do my best to defend against him, as long as you are not afraid of falling behind!" Alex argued.
"If you haven't beaten you yet, you assume that you can't do it, you're still scared!" Cauley Stein ruthlessly debunks Alex's lies.
"No, let me try?" German. Booker listened to it for a long time on the side, he also felt that Alex was a little cowardly, and it was clear that he took the initiative to ask for help against Hougist at the pre-game preparation meeting, and the coach saw that he was taller and stronger than Hougist, so he agreed to let him play the first place on his behalf, and he didn't think that he would be scored a goal and put all his previous rhetoric behind.
"You? Don't be funny, I'm taller than Haugist, I can't prevent him face-to-face, you're not as tall as him, who gave you the courage, Malaysian female singer Liang Jingru? Alex asked dismissively.
"At least I'm defensive!" Booker was equally dismissive of Alex's attitude.
Alex excitedly yelled at Booker: "I also have defensive enthusiasm!" But the single defense Hoggist, without NBA-level defensive ability, will be given in vain, I just said the ugly words in front, and saved the time to blame for your wrong decisions! ”
"Okay, don't argue, Booker, your offensive ability is very important, we can only ensure that Hougist can't take care of the end at the same time in the second half, and you can only be wronged to sit on the cold bench first in the first half." Downs came out to play the round.
