Chapter 5 Lost Traces Section 56 Harris's counterattack

The Asian United team quickly sent a sideline ball, and Xia Hun Sen took advantage of the time difference to break through the middle and hit another 2 points.

30:18。

Kerr missed the three-point shot again, but he immediately rushed to the basket and caught the basketball that popped up from the left side, but he didn't catch it, and the ball went out of the baseline. Although he missed, Cole was full of momentum, as if he wanted to provoke the team's offensive banner.

The Asian team formed a two-three assault formation, and after three or four reverses, Xia Hongsen broke through with the ball, and suddenly made a blow to Zhuo Yifan, who suddenly started on the right side.

Avraro is leaking. Zhuo received the ball and dribbled before the defenders turned around from the other side. The two-handed dunk that jumped directly to the basket greatly boosted the team's momentum.

At 30:20, the gap is only 10 points.

This goal also aroused the enthusiasm of his teammates, and the five people on the field of the Asian United team: Jalali, Zhuo Yifan, Lin Xuemin, Xia Hongsen, and Li Xin were all excited.

"Defend them again!" Li Xin shouted loudly.

"Good!" The other four spoke in unison.

Allen's organization began to be stretched, and although his teammates continued to run without the ball, everyone was firmly watched by the opponent, and there were no good gaps. Time passed little by little, and in the end, he could only pass it to Harris again, hoping to use his breakthrough ability to play.

Harris received the ball and broke through on the left side, forced a shot under the basket under the pressure of Lin Xuemin, and missed the basket with a board. But Avralo slammed down the middle, jumped high to grab the rebound, dribbled it, and then switched to the right and jumped a high point to hit the basket.

That's the strength of the U.S. team, no matter how hard you defend, there is always something higher than you. For example, Avralo's frontcourt rebounding, agile start-up ability, super fast bullet speed, and super long arm span are enough to make him 7cm shorter than Iranian center Jalali and grab frontcourt rebounds when there is no position advantage, forming a secondary attack.

Anyone who has ever played basketball knows the saying: Whoever gets the rebound wins the world! At least until the first half, the United States had a considerable advantage, and rebounding was also their forte.

32:20

After that, the game went into a scoring panic, and both teams failed to score on four consecutive attacks. It wasn't until Li Xin's breakthrough basket caused Allen's foul that the deadlock was broken.

But it's a pity that Li Xin only hit one of the two free throws, 32:21.

Unconvinced, Allen singled Li Xin again at the other end, and hit the right side of the inside line at a very fast speed, and suddenly jumped to the ball.

"Don't succeed!" Zhuo Yifan shouted! A shot was slapped by Allen, and the ball was in the air for the two sides to fight, and it was the American United team who still had the ball in the chaos.

Harris broke through again, and Zhuo was not afraid, interfering with it in the air, but still missed. But after the jump, a gap formed behind him, and the rebound was obtained by Avralo. Avraro rises again, and a giant hand covers the ball with his hand.

The referee's whistle blows and center forward Jalaari fouls.

Avraro hit one of two free throws, the second bounced off, and then he threw himself and passed to Harris on the left side. Showed super dominance under the basket.

Harris received the ball without making adjustments, and directly hardened, and pressed a heavy ball with one arm of his left hand on Zhuo's head towards the basket, slamming loudly, and the powerful strong dunk bounced Zhuo to the ground, and also caused his foul.

Harris clenched his hands into fists and roared domineeringly at the top of the gym!

At this moment, he suddenly remembered his high school career two years ago: when he first joined the basketball team, he was just a "water cooler manager" of the team (meaning the role of the substitute in the team, who can only serve tea and pour water for the main players). At that time, when he was training in the team's group confrontation, he was suppressed by the main substitute striker Alston (Alston), and Harris, who was not convinced, practiced in private.

Half a year later, the team's main striker Banner was injured and reimbursed for the entire season. The main small forward position will be contested by Alston and Harris, but the coach still gave Alston the opportunity.

The coach's reasoning is simple:

Alston's lateral stats are: height 189cm, arm span: 198cm. The height of the in-situ touch is 248cm, the vertical take-off height of the in-situ is 85cm, and the run-up jump is 99cm.

And Harris's body side data is: height 186cm, arm span: 187cm, arm span is almost the same as his height, which is definitely a small short hand among black players. The height of the in-situ touch is 238cm, the vertical take-off height of the in-situ is 78cm, and the run-up jump is 90cm

Whether it is height, reach, touch height, or bounce Harris, Harris is slightly inferior, even if the ability is equal, the team will definitely choose Alston with better body side data as the starter.

Harris is different from McKins, who is really athletic and belongs to the type that would be considered a genius if he doesn't play for a while. Harris is not, his talent can only be considered upper-middle. There was a school coach who commented on him as miscellaneous but not refined, at most he became a high-quality supporting role like his senior Alston.

But when he got off the break, it was Harris' turn to prove himself. In the face of last year's state semi-final team Tompole High School, Alston was ejected in the first quarter for a technical foul, the team had no other excellent small forward to use, and that game and Tompole High School fought hard for two overtimes, Harris, who replaced Alston on the court, played a full 45 minutes, and did not play after the first quarter, but in the end it was his breakthrough layup that killed the opponent for the team. Because until the end, when the opponent's physical strength was close to the limit, Harris was still full of energy. He was fully engrossed in the game, fully committed and put in a better performance.

This is the first time Harris has shown a quality that his physical measurements can't show: super race drive. After that game, the head coach of Wapa High School had a precise interpretation of this: "If you want to evaluate a player's athleticism, it's best to take into account the motivation and concentration of the game. Lazy geniuses tend to be less athletic than hard-working but less talented players. ”

Harris has forced his own way, and since then he has not only squeezed out Alston's primary substitute position, but even after the main Banner returned from injury the following year, he found that his position was replaced by Harris, and Harris also grew to 190cm taller in this year.

Harris then led Wapa High School to the Georgia High School League Finals, where they won the tournament in the same way as they had in the previous game against Tompole High School, with the opponent leading slightly in the first three quarters. But in the final quarter, Harris began to explode, his defense made the opponent helpless, and the continuous breakthroughs on the offensive end, but his own physical strength did not fall, but the opponent was tired. In the end, he scored eight points in a row to help the team win the Georgia High School League championship by three points, and he was also named the best player.

This is the counterattack of Harris, this seemingly ordinary basketball teenager.

Harris hit a free throw, 35-21.

Li Xin organized an offense, and the continuous left and right shaking suddenly accelerated into the interior line in an attempt to make a layup. But Avraro and Jones on both sides of the basket quickly sandwiched, and Allen formed a three-clamp and one-to-one situation with the three of them, and this layup may not be easy.

Li Xin's eyes widened, and he keenly noticed that Lin Xuemin, who was wandering on the outside, had run to the vacant seat. adjusted slightly in the air, and with a flick of his arm, he passed the ball to Lin Xuemin outside the left baseline.

Lin Xuemin made an empty jumper, shot extremely fast, and the ball drew an arc beautifully and fell into the net bag.

Li Xin's breakthrough point assisted Lin Xuemin and hit a three-pointer, 35:24.

Not to be outdone, the United States also returned the favor as Kerr received an assist from Avlaro and hit a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the right side in front of Xia Hun Sen.

38:24

"Very good, just fight like that!" McKins couldn't contain his excitement off the court, stood up from the bench, waved his arms and shouted. At this time, he was full of desolate power and had nowhere to vent, only in this way to vent.

"Now watch the game quietly and go up in the third quarter to play all your pent-up power! You and Avraro are the main scorers, so let's break them down in one fell swoop! The interim head coach of the U.S. United said to McKins

McKins glanced at the coach, showed a wicked smile, and whispered, "Okay! Verse 3: Wait! Boys! ”

Li Xin's wide range of activities, but the single restrictions on him left Li Xin with no more scoring opportunities. But it doesn't really matter, what he's better at:

Assisting teammates, Xia Hun Sen received the ball on the left side, Li Xin has already attracted the defense of Allen and Cole, cutting through the defense of the United States team like a sharp blade, tearing open the gap for Xia Hun Sen.

Xia Hun Sen didn't waste the opportunity and also hit a three-pointer.

38:27

Compared to Xia Hun Sen's defense, his offensive ability is much stronger, if he can't continue to play the scoring advantage on the court. It's really a mistrust.

The final three minutes of the second quarter were a stalemate:

Avraro played Zhuo Yifan with his back in the low post, relying on his height advantage to force him to turn over and jump and shoot, and score on the board.

40:27

Lin Xuemin dismantled the file for Xia Hongsen, forming a short gap, Xia Hongsen took a step back and threw it quickly, hitting the hollow cast.

40:29

It was Avralo's strong basket again, which caused a foul on center Jalari.

Avraro didn't feel good, hitting only one of two free throws.

41:29

Kerr tried to shoot three points again, but this time he missed, and Li Xin seized the opportunity to counterattack and smashed Huanglong's fast-break layup alone.

41:31

In the final stages of the first half, the attack of the United States team was a little impatient, and Allen tried to do an aerial relay with Avraro, but the ball was passed too high and went off the line.

In the last 20 seconds, the chances of the Asian team:

Lin Xuemin cut the basket in the air, attracted two people to defend, skillfully swept the ball behind him covertly, flicked his wrist back, made a beautiful pass behind him, and assisted Zhuo Yifan, the basket was empty, no one defended, Zhuo straightened his arms, and completed the last powerful and heavy two-handed angry buckle in the first half.
