Chapter 14: Raw Anthony
After the results of the detachment came out, Lehi was a little disappointed, and there was a team that was obviously the main force in the coach's heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No. 1 is Gerry McNamara, No. 2 is Kurt Duanne in his fifth year on the team, No. 3 is Carmelo Anthony, No. 4 is Hakeem Warrick, and No. 5 is second-year Craig Firth.
Lehi's team was Billy Adelin, a freshman at No. 1, Josh Pace, a sophomore at No. 2, who was assigned to No. 3, Matt Gorman at No. 4, and Jeremy McNeil, a third-year at No. 5.
Gary Hall and Josh Brooks, who had previously played against each other, were also on different teams, and Lehi noticed that these four teams should have been confirmed to join the varsity team before.
In other words, if nothing else, there will be a maximum of five people from the other teams.
He paid attention to his roommate Holt Eddie's team, and all five of them seemed to be just enthusiasts, and Eddie, a fat man who didn't even have 1.9 meters, was assigned to the No. 4 position.
The rules of the matchup are the same as those of the NCAA, but they only play 20 minutes and there are no substitutions in the game.
The 10 teams had to take turns playing each other under the watchful eye of Coach Boihan, and it was the weekend that allowed them to play as many times as possible, and it was the two teams of Lehi and Anthony who took the lead to play each other.
I didn't expect to be able to fight Anthony so soon, and Lehi was excited with a hint of nervousness.
Reg Firth jumped to the ball, and after half the time the basketball was in Anthony's hands, and Lehi immediately stuck to it, but Anthony shot directly outside the three-point line with a smile on his face.
The movements were so smooth that Lehi couldn't tell whether the opponent was shooting or feintting, and after a little hesitation, Anthony attacked and succeeded.
When it was their turn to attack, Lehi quickly slipped over the baseline and reached for the ball, but his teammate didn't look at him at all, and Josh Pace pulled out and the basketball was deflected.
Hakeem Varik got the rebound and handed it to Gerry McNamara, who quickly dribbled across the front court and pulled up a chase three-pointer who scored again.
"Hey buddy, you can pass the ball over after I run out of position." Lehi said to Billy Adelin in the No. 1 position.
Billy Adelin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Dude, you're Anthony in front of you, I'm going to do this ball myself, I'm going to score for our team." ”
"Freshman rookies, you should trust your seniors." Josh Pace also hastened to say.
"Speaking of seniors, don't you think you should play the inside line?" Jeremy McNeill also spoke.
They don't have a team that has the reputation to suppress other people's players, and without a coach, everyone's tactical thinking can't be unified at all.
Billy Adelin had a good hand, going straight past Gerry McNamara to the basket, only to be interfered with by the big tall Reg Firth and the layup was deflected.
This time their retreat was timely, and the basketball was taken by Anthony again.
Anthony took a step forward and jumped high, he didn't take a little-known player like Lehi in his eyes at all, and his mentality was very relaxed.
Then this time Lehi didn't hesitate at all, jumped up and slapped the ball out, and the basketball was fanned by him near the center circle, Anthony turned to chase it, and McNamara also quickly rushed towards the ball.
But they all need to turn around, Lehi rushed straight up, like an accelerating truck, instantly squeezed in front of the two, picked up the ball and ran wildly to the opponent's half, stepping on the three-second line is to jump high, and came to a tomahawk dunk.
This dunk also caused many people next to him to exclaim, and this kind of thing is always exciting on the basketball court.
"Anthony, is that all the American team in high school like that?" As he passed Anthony back, Lehi deliberately spewed trash talk.
Then he immediately whispered to his teammates, "I will try to provoke Anthony to let him play alone, we will take the opportunity to play together, we have to share the ball, basketball is not famous, we will win, prove to the coach, we are better." ”
With the frontal cover of Anthony and the inspirational Tomahawk, the weight of Lehi's words suddenly changed from what he had just said.
was blocked by Li Hai, a Chinese player he didn't pay much attention to before, and was ridiculed, Anthony immediately quit, he must find the field and find the field fiercely.
After half the time, he began to ask for the ball, McNamara was also a little unhappy, he is also a player with strong offensive power, Anthony asks for the ball like this, which will disrupt his rhythm, but he also understands that Anthony can enter the NBA without going to college and directly participate in the draft, and he must be the boss when he comes to Syracuse University, if he does not cooperate, the coach will be unhappy and he will suffer.
Anthony's look in his eyes after receiving the ball is different from before, he used to play point guard when he grew taller, his breakthrough skills are very good, and now he is very good at strength, he changed direction and accelerated almost to push Lehi to the basket.
To be honest, Lehi had never encountered an opponent in China with such smooth technical movements and this kind of strength, and when Anthony jumped up against him, he was completely suppressed, so he had to pull his hand and foul.
This result was still a little different from Anthony's imagination, and after hitting the free throw, he said to Lehi: "Even if it's a foul, it can't stop me from scoring." ”
When it was Lehi's turn to attack, Lehi was again active in running to gain space, and this time his teammate's ball passed, and Anthony stood in front of him with a smile.
When Lehi received the ball, it was a quick tentative step, and then, like Anthony before, changed direction and accelerated to push Anthony into the three-second zone, and he also jumped against the man.
Anthony didn't expect Lehi's body and technique to reach this level at all, and he also subconsciously pulled, but Lehi threw the ball into the basket.
After hitting the penalty ball, Lehi also said to Anthony: "Even if it's a foul, it won't stop me from scoring." ”
At this time, Anthony was really angry, and used various offensive methods to single Lehi.
Even if Lehi tried his best to defend, he couldn't stop Anthony from scoring.
Obviously, he can also use a lot of skills, and his physical fitness should not be bad, but he can't do Anthony's smooth weightlifting, and sure enough, there is still a lot of gap between him and the top basketball players in the United States.
When the time of the confrontation ended, Anthony looked proud, "Dude, you worked hard, but I won." ”
20 minutes cut 20 points, he and satisfied.
"No, I won." Lehi pointed to the scoreboard on the sidelines.
