Chapter 22 The teacher is not good

There's nothing more exciting than the arrival of a new season! The opening game of the new season in the Ivy League is a Mars collision with the Earth. The arch-rivals of Harvard and Yale University did not decide until the final game of last season.

Not only has Yale's roster changed a lot in the new season, but Harvard's roster has also changed a lot, and last season's Gimanschut has graduated and now plays for a team in Italy. However, they also brought in new blood, Craig Craig, a graduate of Oak Hill High School. George is one of them.

Craig. George is recognized as a basketball talent, and many basketball schools have thrown olive branches to him, but he has not been moved. The most important point is that his grandfather, father, mother, and elder brother all graduated from Harvard University. So, Craig. George resolutely followed in his family's footsteps and joined Harvard University.

Craig. George is 2.08 meters tall and plays as a center at Harvard University. As a white interior player, he is very flexible on the inside, and he is very capable of playing alone with his back, and his rebounding ability is not bad. During his time at Oak Hill High School, there was a lot of talent on the team, so Craig. George's shots were limited. But even in this case, he was still able to score 12.4 points, 11 rebounds and 2.2 blocks. Some experts think he's a lot like Hansbrough of the Indiana Pacers and is a good team player.

……

On the day of the game against Harvard, Yale felt what it was like to be a public enemy of the league. When they showed up in the Harvard University gymnasium, the audience erupted in a chorus of "Down with Yale!" The slogan made Kevin. The young Marshallese were a little frightened.

"We have to get used to this kind of welcome, and we will meet it again and again in the future, who made us champions! So don't be disturbed by this atmosphere, enjoy the game, feel the game! Coach Heywood said.

For Sun Xiaotian, from today onwards, he is no longer just a simple player, but has become the captain of the team with Gulot. Being captain means taking more responsibility for the team, and when it matters you need to be able to unite the team and lead the team to victory.

"Toot!"

With the referee's whistle, the curtain of the new season was officially opened.

Gulot & Craig. George jumped the ball, and with his rich game experience, Gulot easily jumped to the ball.

Sun Xiaotian handed the ball to Kevin. Marshall, Kevin. Marshall played the ball and brought it to the frontcourt. Defend Kevin. Marshall's freshman ----- a first-year point guard at Harvard. Moles!

Dari. Moore wasn't a great playmaker or scorer, but his footwork, strong body, and excellent arm span made him an excellent defensive point guard.

Dari. Moore clung to Kevin. Marshall, Kevin. Marshall just wanted to pass the ball out, "Smack! ", Dari. Moore slapped the ball off with a slap, and Harvard University fast-breaked.

"Boom!" Dari. Moore slammed the buckle. He's really good physically!

Sun Xiaotian patted Kevin. Marshallese's head, telling him not to care.

"Don't worry about this ball! Dribble the ball to the front court, hand it to a teammate who lifts it, and run quickly. ”

"Got it!"

Kevin. Marshall regained possession at the back, but Dary. Moore actually started to press from the back.

Sun Xiaotian shouted, Kevin. Marshall quickly passed the ball over.

Sun Xiaotian held the ball, relied on his strong body, pushed off the defender, and by the way, he easily entered the inside. At the moment when the inside reinforcement personnel arrived, Sun Xiaotian suddenly passed the ball back to Gulot, who was about to dunk when he received the ball and jumped up.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, a pair of big hands pressed the ball on the rebound, and Gulot looked back to see that it was Craig. George.

Harvard launched another fast break, made a decisive shot from beyond the three-point line, and the ball went in again! 5-0!

Craig. George's block instantly set off an offensive climax at Harvard. George also frequently used his skillful interior offensive skills to play Gulot's turn.

Five minutes later, Harvard University led Yale University 11-4! In this short 5 minutes, Yale University made 5 turnovers, 3 of which were caught by opponents and scored directly.

Coach Heywood couldn't take it anymore and immediately called a timeout.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't wake up? The other party is basically a freshman, look at how mature they are, and then look at us, we are nothing. I need you to wake up quickly and do what you can......"

Coach Heywood has a very big temper, in fact, it is no wonder that the outside line was contained by others, and the inside line was blown up by others, and only Sun Xiaotian scored 4 points, which is abnormal.

After the pause, Sun Xiaotian followed the coach's instructions and increased the number of active attacks.

Sun Xiaotian did not disappoint the coach, and immediately caused Craig. George's defensive foul.

After hitting both free throws, Sun Xiaotian successfully defended Craig. George's misplaced back singles.

Turning back, Sun Xiaotian saw the right time to eat Dari with his back on his back. Moore, see Dary. Moore couldn't stand it, and Harvard University next to him hurriedly came over to help defend the bag. Sun Xiaotian was not in a hurry, and easily came from Craig. George's armpit passed the ball to Chloe, who was ambushed in the bottom corner, and Clouey Young hit a 3-pointer to give Yale five straight points.

11-9!

----------

However, this was only one of the few highlights of Yale in the full game. After all, basketball is for 5 people, and it is difficult for Sun Xiaotian to win the game alone. After 11-9, Harvard's Craig. George is still one inside line after another to eat Gulot.

Craig. George's physical coordination is really good, although he doesn't jump high and belongs to the bottom of the floor, but his excellent positional awareness and ball sense allowed him to get 12 points and 6 rebounds in the first half. Gulot, on the other hand, only scored 0 points, plus 2 fouls.

At the end of the first half, Yale was only 5 points behind Harvard University at 35-40. However, 18 of the 35 points received by Yale University were scored by Sun Xiaotian. And in the first half alone, Sun Xiaotian made 14 shots.

Maybe seeing the number of shots Sun Xiaotian has, some people will feel that Sun Xiaotian has become a little lonely. But if you look at the hit percentage of the rest of the team, you may understand why Sun Xiaotian did that?

Kevin. Marshall shot 1-of-7, Gulot 0-of-5 and Clouey 2-of-5.

After all, the basketball game is 5 people, and even if Sun Xiaotian plays well, it will be difficult for Yale University to win.

Haywood had hoped that the players would find their groove in the second half, but that didn't happen.

In the second half, Harvard University still firmly controlled the tempo of the court, and finally defeated Yale University 74-65 to usher in its first win of the season.

Although Sun Xiaotian scored 30 points in the game, the rest of the team only scored a total of 35 points. Look again at Harvard University, although the highest scorer is Craig. George had just 17 points, but four players on the team had double-doubles.

Clearly, Yale still has a lot of work to do, their roster isn't compatible, and their season is bound to be difficult.
