CHAPTER XIX
Kenjiro scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half, helping the Cowboys lead Duke by four points, Kenjiro sat on the bench panting and could only say a pervert to Brand in his heart, 4 points and 9 rebounds Brand's statistics in the first half.
"In the second half, Eric came on instead of Kenjiro, you only have one task to withstand Brand, and Joshua controlled the rhythm in the second half to buy Kenjiro more rest."
Kenjiro didn't speak, just sat on the bench and leaned back in the chair, a tingling pain in his back was estimated to have been poked by Brand with his fingers, but he didn't expect to see Brand change a lot for two months, which made Kenjiro understand that the roles that can play famous in the NBA are some difficult characters to deal with.
Brand this guy is like taking hormones, the muscles and fat on his body grow like a blow, and Brand, who is not afraid of confrontation, plus that terrifying arm span, really makes Kenjiro very uncomfortable, and Kenjiro is now thinking about whether to gnaw the 10,000 crabs to finish.
Fortunately, Duke didn't send Brand up, and the consumption of fighting against Brand with Kenjiro was also very large, and Brand was also slapped on the face by Kenjiro's defense, and Brand just felt salty in his mouth.
At the start of the second half, the two teams played happily, with Kenjiro and Brand glaring at each other off the field.
Five minutes into the second half, Brand was asked to play, and the Cowboys coach directly put Kenjiro on the court.
"I thought you'd be on the bench and wouldn't dare come up! Mean guys. "At halftime, Brand thought about Kenjiro defending in the first half and began to spew trash talk.
"Huh." Kenjiro didn't speak, blocked the referee's sight with his body, and gave Brand a touch with his arm, Adams passed the ball very tacitly, Kenjiro took the ball and turned left to the basket and hit a small hook with his right hand.
Kenjiro listened to coach Sutton's advice to strengthen the hook hand of his right hand, Sutton asked Kenjiro to use a small hook hand to solve the battle when he turned to the basket, and when he turned around on the baseline, he stepped back to shoot, and the basketball bounced off the rebound and into the basket.
Kenjiro began to pick up a hammer on the inside and knock on the Duke door, Kenjiro endured the harassment of Brand's small movements, and hit three consecutive shots on the Duke inside, once again establishing the Cowboys' lead.
Kenjiro's stable play directly stopped Duke, although the difference was only 5 points, but such a defensive battle had already aroused the vigilance of Coach Duke's old K.
When the Cowboys defend, Kenjiro is now playing the center position, which can stabilize the Cowboys' interior line, and can make Brand's mid-range shot not play, and Duke's pass error was stealed by Cowboys captain Joshua.
The Cowboys launched a fast attack, and Kenjiro, Adams, and Joshua advanced quickly.
Sure enough, Kenjiro ran into the inside to catch the ball, and the Duke outside player came back to prepare to wrap Kenjiro, but Kenjiro was very vigilant and passed the ball directly to the vacant Joshua, and the captain Joshua caught the ball and stabilized it and hit a three-pointer.
Joshua withstood the pressure at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends to help the team make contributions.
This defensive battle made everyone cheer, and Kenjiro used his skills to end the game in the last five minutes of the game.
After the game, Kenjiro also felt that his physical strength was a little overrun today, especially some pain in his left ankle, and Kenjiro left the arena with some stumbling steps.
This scene was seen by many reporters, and they all speculated whether Kenjiro was injured and whether it would affect the most important final.
Sutton was not in the mood to wait for the reporter's interview directly, and took Kenjiro to the hospital to insist, and sure enough, Kenjiro had a fatigue sprain on his ankle, but fortunately it was not too serious, and there was no problem with the ligament.
However, the doctor still advised Kenjiro to take care of his injury, because Kenjiro's future should not be just an NCAA Finals, and Kenjiro didn't listen to it at all.
The most basic deal Kenjiro will still calculate, and he has the opportunity to earn a lot of honor points on the field, not to mention that it is just a sprain Kenjiro just carefully looked at the system gift package, and the gift package of the medical injury trumpet only needs a little honor, even if the ligament is completely torn, it can be recovered quickly without side effects.
So Kenjiro said that he must play in the finals, Uncle Jing was very embarrassed, and there was no way to call Gao Tou again, Gao Tou was very worried when he heard that Kenjiro was really injured, but when he heard that the injury was not very serious, Gao Tou breathed a sigh of relief, and at the end of the game, he saw Kenjiro walking, Gao Tou knew that there was a problem, but fortunately the problem was not very serious.
After learning that Kenjiro was going to continue to fight with an injury, Gao Tou was silent for a while, and asked Uncle Jing to give the phone to Kenjiro, Gao Tou asked Kenjiro on the phone about Kenjiro's true intentions, and heard Kenjiro insist, and finally Gao Tou said that he respected Kenjiro's decision, after all, the child has grown up.
Uncle Jing hung up the phone and was very embarrassed, because on the one hand, the cowboys did not have Kenjiro, and in the face of the menacing North Carolina duo, the inside line had no capital to fight at all, but if Kenjiro had three long and two short in the finals, Uncle Jing felt that he had completely become a sinner, and he brought Kenjiro here, but he didn't take care of him.
After being distressed for a long time, Uncle Jing felt that he had to do something for Kenjiro, so Uncle Jing found head coach Sutton and said that he wanted to invite Kenjiro's parents and girlfriend to come to the United States to watch the NCAA finals, and Sutton quickly agreed to this suggestion.
Gao Tou was thinking about whether to go to the United States to see Kenjiro once, and soon learned that Oklahoma State University invited him, his wife, and Kenjiro's girlfriend Tomomi to come to the United States to watch the finals.
Uncle Jing said that when the school reimbursed the first-class cabin was not polite, Gao Tou did not refuse, and asked Kenjiro's mother to call Zhimei, fortunately, Zhimei has no games now, only club competitions, and heard that Zhimei was going to the United States to see Kenjiro ask for leave, and the club was also very generous to let him go.
After all, Kenjiro is very strong now, maybe he will soar that day, and this kind of small thing will be regarded as an investment in advance.
The three of them came in a hurry, there was still a day before the finals, the three of them flew to the United States together, Uncle Jing took Kenjiro to pick up the plane, at first Uncle Jing said that his friend was coming, let Kenjiro help, but as the plane got closer and closer to the ground, Kenjiro felt as if something was calling him.
Kenjiro saw his parents and Tomomi from the plane, and the thoughts that came up in his heart suddenly came up, and what he wanted most when he was tired of training every day was his mother's meal, and Tomomi's soft thighs were really comfortable to lie down for a while, and as for the high head, it was like that.
Gao Tou stared at his son Kenjiro and crossed himself to welcome the arrival of the two ladies, fortunately, Tian Tou on the side cleared Gao Tou, the game was about to start, Tian Yi did not hide it, and directly talked to Gao Tou about Kenjiro's problem, and did not X-ray to Gao Tou, Gao Tou was determined to be a small problem after reading it, as an athlete there will always be one or another problem, since Kenjiro insisted and has come so far, it is a pity to give up.
Kenjiro has already made history, and Takao hopes that Kenjiro will not stop here.
