There are many Martin Luther King Jr. high schools in the United States, one or two in almost every state, thanks to Martin Luther King Jr., a famous leader of the American civil rights movement, the powerful man who gave the famous speech "I Have a Dream" and forced the U.S. Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act in 1964 outlawing segregation and discrimination.

The school also had another name, King Christ High School, which was the original name of the school, but when the number of black students grew, it changed its current name to Martin Luther King High School. Founded in 1979, the school is located in the San Joaquin Valley of California, a 2-3 hour drive from the city of Flersno, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and is close to the historic Yosemeti National Park, most notably the local agricultural and naval air bases.

It is a not-for-profit private Christian school that provides high-quality private education for grades K-12 to the local community, based on traditional education, and many of the courses are based on the Christian view of the world.

This school has a similarity with St. Lawrence Middle School, that is, their sports program, especially basketball, did not shine in the past, but with Leonard entering this school three years ago, Martin Luther King Jr.'s basketball level suddenly rose to a very strong level, and then Snell also joined the school, so that the combination of the twin stars made them a super high school that could compete with Willison Middle School.

This year's St. Lawrence Middle School also rises in this way, the Li family brothers + Hit, in addition to a high school student Cai Chen who just transferred from Chinese mainland, St. Lawrence Middle School has a strong lineup.

Every state's high school league will be favored by professional scouts at the most late stage, not only college scouts, NBA scouts will also be dispatched, the basketball system in the United States is very well developed, almost every team has made a complete sports file for these famous talents in the United States, there are a lot of scouts in today's game, Chamberlain looked at it, there are a few who want to be familiar with each other, obviously NBA scouts.

Although they work for different clubs, the scouts have a good relationship in private, and these people get together to whisper and occasionally point fingers at the players on the pitch, which adds a lot of mystery to the game.

Martin Luther King Jr. sent out the starting lineup of center Danny Bayfield, power forward George Rayson, playmaking guard Alexis LaVine, small forward Leonard, and shooting guard Snell.

The starting lineup of St. Lawrence High School is starting center Cai Chen, power forward Adar Bella, small forward Michael Lee, scoring guard Bruce Lee, and playmaking guard Hitt Sudmons.

It just so happens that the trump cards of both teams are organizational guards and small forwards, but in comparison, the cooperation between Leonard and Snell is more optimistic, both are seventeen years old, Leonard is a senior in high school and Snell is a senior in high school, and the Li brothers are less than 16 years old, and their height and weight are at a disadvantage.

The starters on both sides entered, Michael paced around the midfield with his head held high like a lion cub, Snell frowned at him, pouted disdainfully and found a position to stand, and then nodded to Michael and said, "Hey, boy, do you dare to come to me?" ”

Michael rolled his eyes back, and scolded even more disdainfully: "Idiot, standing next to you will lower my value!" ”

Bruce and Leonard got along much more harmoniously, the two first looked at each other and smiled and nodded, and then Leonard took the initiative to reach out and said, "I'm Kawhi Leonard, hello, buddy." ”

Bruce introduced himself as well, asking, "Man, are you planning on going to college anywhere?" I guess you're getting an invitation to school by now, right? ”

Leonard shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's San Diego State University, I can't think of a surprise that I'll go there to go to school, and they're willing to give me a full scholarship, which is very good and can ease the burden on my family, what about you, are you prepared?" ”

Michael laughed and said, "Yes, we're going to take the ninth-grade exam, damn it, those questions are really difficult, geometry and algebra are harder than turning around and dunking at 360 degrees, and I think people who know these things can also build atomic bombs." ”

Leonard nodded and stopped talking, Michael thought that his humor would make the other party laugh, but Leonard had no expression on his face after that, Michael couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, no wonder this guy was called the Grim Reaper who didn't cry, and there was too little expression on his face.

The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Cai Chen and Bayfield were ready to jump the ball, both of them were a little more than two meters tall, not high in the position of the inside, in fact, Cai Chen didn't want to play center, he used to practice small forward, but St. Lawrence Middle School did not have a center, so he could only let him go to the top of the relatively most suitable position.

Fortunately, today's opponent's center is not tall, otherwise Cai Chen will suffer. In fact, Cai Chen did suffer a loss in comparison, because his height was the same as his opponent, but his opponent was much stronger than him, Bayfield was a standard black man, with a thick skeleton and hard muscles, Cai Chen was also quite strong, but from the outside, he still had more fat on his body.

Cai Chen's bouncing is very good, and his physical fitness is top among the yellow race, thanks to the excellent genes of his parents, both of whom are athletes, his father is a basketball player and his mother is a handball player. Bayfield is the kind of player who is strong and measured, bounce and speed are not what he is good at, plus he underestimated Cai Chen, who took the lead in giving the racket to Hitt when he jumped the ball.

Hit's right leg injury could not be recovered, which limited his ability to break through, otherwise he would have been able to play Martin Luther King Jr. High School alone, but even then LaVine could not prevent him, Hitt skillfully walked forward with the ball, he could not run fast or jump high now, so he tried to use the ball quotient to make up for the physical weakness, which was his experience after many days of hard fighting on the streets.

Apparently Ravin knew about Hit's injury, so he came up to press him, trying to force Hitt to back down with his strong body to make a mistake.

As a result, when he came up, Hitt quickly changed hands, suddenly stepped out of the way, shook off LaVine and rushed to the three-point line, and raised his hand to shoot.

Hit's shot was fast, ruthless and accurate, he was the No. 3 scorer in the St. Lawrence Center, seeing this, Leonard hurriedly came up to make up for the defense, and after the two met face to face, Hitt smiled slightly, shook his hand and handed the ball to Michael.

Michael got the ball and leaned over like a cheetah to attack, his legs stepped quickly, and his athletic body shot into the restricted area with a whistling sound like tearing air, and Bayfield and Rayson on the inside couldn't even react, and Michael was stunned for a moment that Michael had already dunked.

After the dunk, Michael opened his arms to do the airplane gliding action, and Chamberlain applauded: "Well done, man, that's it, when there is a vacancy, go and beat those bitches hard!" Don't care about winning or losing, you're middle school students, not professional footballers, just have fun! ”

Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School is centered on Leonard and Snell, and everyone else is there to match the two, LaVine is called a playmaker, but all he has to do is dribble through the half court, and then hand it over to Snell, as for organizing teammates to run, these are a bit too esoteric for middle school students, not everyone is Kidd.

In middle school, it is easy to have scoring machines such as Maddy, Iverson, Kobe, etc., as well as strong interior players such as Oden and O'Neal Jr., but few point guards can make a splash and shock the world in middle school, and only one Kidd can be regarded as doing this over the years, and the others are not even famous in DeLong and Paul in middle school.

After Snell holds the ball, he is strong, he relies on his age to be older, taller, and stronger than Michael, so he crushes the opponent, although Michael is physically inferior to Snell, he has a brave heart, not to mention Chamberlain's encouragement before the game also played a role, he firmly stood in front of Snell, and struggled to entangle him so that he could not shoot recklessly.

Snell was furious, stunned and tore Michael to the worst, and when he entered the penalty area, he saw that his teammates had pulled Cai Chen away, and after the most sneer, he bumped into Michael and waved his hand to dunk violently.

A falcon-like figure slammed into the air, and Bruce came first, slapping his ball down. But then another big bird flew up, and Leonard followed from behind, picked up the ball, took two steps, and flipped his wrist with the ball in one hand, and quietly sent the ball into the hoop.

"Hey, this kid is interesting." Michael looked at Leonard with interest, and the latter gave him a look, but there was no expression on his face.

Chamberlain snapped his fingers and waved his hand absently: "Attack, boys, go attack!" Don't care how many points you lose, have fun, remember, the most important thing for you today is to have fun! ”

You can put pressure on them before the game to make him pay attention to the game, but it doesn't have to be like this during the game, otherwise they are easily overwhelmed by the pressure, not everyone is Iverson and Kobe, the more pressure there is, the more motivation.

Hitt rarely takes the initiative to attack, but this does not mean that his attack is not good, in fact, in private, St. Lawrence Middle School organizes shooting competitions, most of the championships are his, Hitt has excellent mid-to-long range shooting ability, and his shots are steady and accurate, but now his mentality has changed a lot, as long as his teammates have the opportunity, he will pass the ball out of the box without hesitation.

Cai Chen stuck Bayfield on the inside to ask for the ball, LaVine didn't dare to press Hitt this time, he was afraid of being passed, so he let go of half a step. Bruce went up to answer, and after getting the ball, he passed it to Cai Chen on the inside, Cai Chen received the ball and turned around, slapped the ball with his right hand and fell to the basket in one step, raised his arm to make a shooting action to deceive the opponent, and then turned around before going to the basket to make a layup and send the ball into the basket.

Snell rushed up to block it, but unfortunately Cai Chen's speed was too fast and flexible, and he scored as soon as he turned around.

"Shit, nimble fat man." Snell scolded in a gloomy voice.

Looking back, Snell still wanted to play singles, but their head coach was reluctant and yelled: "Cooperation, boy, play for me!" It's an official game, not a street bullfight, so don't show me your goddamn trick dribbling! ”

Snell pouted in dissatisfaction and could only pass the ball to Leonard, who knew what the head coach meant, who wanted Leonard to lead the attack.

As a small forward, Leonard is a physically gifted all-around No. 3 who is eager to play and very energetic, spending most of his time around the top of the arc, looking for offensive opportunities like a patient Snow Wolves.

He also has excellent ability to carry the basket, and can reasonably use the technique of turning and jumping in the low post singles. Very agile on the pitch, with a great stride and almost no blind spots. He's a fan of spot-up jumpers, and once the game gets into his rhythm, he can hit a variety of shots in a row, and his shots are hard to block because of the high point of the shot.

Seeing Leonard get the ball, Chamberlain whistled and motioned for Bruce to go up and press. Leonard does not have the ability to score consistently on the offensive end, and due to his physical limitations, he can only develop towards outside players, but he lacks the skill and skill of outside players on the wing.

Chamberlain knew that this kid's dribbling skills needed to be improved, especially his left-handed skills, so he was a little scrambling when he was forced to do so.

Sure enough, as soon as Bruce pressed up, Leonard subconsciously turned around and was beaten, but now that he had only entered the three-point line for less than two steps, Michael also rushed up and yelled: "I'm going to steal you!" ”

Leonard withstood the pressure from Bruce with his strong body, he protected the ball and looked at Snell, who was vacant because of Michael's departure, and waved the ball over.

Snell received the ball and Michael immediately returned to defend and he wanted to steal, but Leonard's pass was too high for him to reach.

Michael's defense is ineffective, although Snell is arrogant, but he has arrogant capital, he jumped up when he received the ball, and hit it neatly!
