33. Why did you ask me to defend him?

Arenas trembled with rage.

This is what he used to taunt the opponent after he met the opponent wearing the No. 0 jersey and blew the opponent since his sophomore year of high school!

After arriving in the NCAA, it was still retained.

The team that rejected him against the Bruins a while ago, and there was also a player wearing the No. 0 jersey on the other side, he scored 18 points that night to help the Wildcats win, and he used this phrase to taunt the opponent.

This time, he was actually ridiculed by his opponent with this sentence!

But he was really blown up, and in these few rounds, the opponent did perform better than him, 4 points, plus a successful inside shot, and he only made 1 of 2......

The long timeout ended, and both teams made personnel changes.

The Trojans replaced Charles with Brushenthal.

Li Ao came to the court and looked at the opposite lineup, Arenas, Rick Anderson, Richard Jefferson, Luke Wharton, Woods.

Rick Anderson, with an overall rating of 73, ranked 67th in the United States high school in '98, is 189 cm tall, good at long-range shooting and defense, and has a terrible ball handling, averaging 11 minutes per game, scoring 4.4 points and 2.7 boards.

Li Ao's mind immediately popped up Rick Anderson's information.

But replacing this person obviously won't be used to defend against him, then......

No, no, do you want to use that guy to defend against him?

It's a real honor!

The game continues, with the Wildcats attacking.

Arenas catches the ball and attacks.

Li Ao threw himself into defense, the opponent didn't use Michael Wright, and he didn't want a single excellent point guard, sacrificing offense to improve defense, and the reason why he dared to do so was because of Arenas's brutal performance of 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting tonight.

Arenas came to the top arc, faced Li Ao, and entered the scolding mode, just as he did when he humiliated Ruben Douglas.

But Li Ao just looked at Arenas with the eyes of a wise man.

Just a few sentences over and over again.

Shelby Jordan heard such a garbage talk from Arenas and wanted to give Arenas a favor, not to mention thank you for that kind of help.

Failing to provoke Li Ao, Arenas made himself angry.

He swore he was going to blow up this nasty guy tonight!

Breakthrough!

It didn't take much effort for Arenas to get past Li Ao, who chased after Arenas to interfere with the pull-up jumper.

Arenas didn't pull back any more and the oppressive defense made him feel awkward, and he burst all the way inside to try to get to the rim.

Li Ao chased closely behind Arenas, covering the space for Arenas to make a quick stop, and Arenas was forced to burst to the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone!

Arenas was surprised, and the defensive patience of the No. 0 on the opposite side was also good!

Granville contracted in time for Arenas to stop the ball and find a catch, but Woods was stuck behind Brushenthal at the best spot.

Woods, who is 216 cm and 111 kg, is really inferior to Brushenthal, who is 206 cm and 109 kg, in terms of confrontation.

Although Woods moves quickly, has a good height and arms, and has a good sense of blocking, he becomes a pure blue-collar when he encounters a thick opponent, and the offensive end is only eating cakes and blocking.

Li Ao covered the sky above Arenas and didn't make any unnecessary moves, and Granville reached for the ball.

Arenas saw that it was either a mistake or a strong hat, and the savior came! He quickly leaned forward and flung the ball down the middle.

Richard Jefferson cuts in the middle, catches the ball and leaps high to the basket with one hand!

This cut is too sharp, and Bai Mamba didn't have time to pull it.

It is worthy of being the strongest team in the region for more than ten years, and it is not so easy to kill with one shot.

Li Ao picked up the ball and shouted to his teammates: "Don't worry, let's play slowly, we are the ones who lead." ”

Bai Mamba is good at adjusting internal conflicts and communicating with teammates, encouraging teammates, and Li Ao took on this job.

At this time, such a person came out to say something, and the impatience of the teammates calmed down a lot.

Granville pushes into the front court, and the pressure soars!

The overall offense on the opposite side dropped, but Rick Anderson and Richard Jefferson came up and the defense was full!

The lineup on the opposite side is the best defensive lineup of the Wildcats that the Trojans have analyzed during their preparation and training phase.

Fortunately, Bai Mamba has scored 9 points at the beginning of the game, and he has single-handedly restrained the opponent's defense, and the opponent's joint defense cannot be used.

Li Ao has no chance to eat inside, Rick Anderson went to defend Shelby Jordan, and it was Richard Jefferson who had just completed a violent dunk behind Li Ao!

Li Ao's speed is quite good at the front, but Richard Jefferson's speed is comparable to that of a speed guard!

Despite Li Ao's strength advantage, Richard Jefferson defensively is very different from Arenas, sticking to the defense aggressively and not afraid of confrontation.

Seeing this, Granville chose to attack with a breakthrough.

Li Ao kept an eye on Granville's actions, immediately cutting from the baseline to the inside, unable to get rid of Richard Jefferson, but he still went all the way to the basket, and then made a 90-degree turn and ran high up.

Arenas' defense was like toilet paper, and Granville burst inside with ease, and on the right side of the three-second zone, he was exposed to a reinforcement from the middle of Richard Jefferson.

Granville split the ball, Li Ao ran from the basket to a step outside the free throw line to receive the ball, Arenas chased the ball and rushed to Li Ao and pounced to interfere.

Li Ao ignored Arenas' pounce, lifted the ball, and made a mid-range shot......

It feels good, it's in!

After landing on the ground, Li Ao said loudly: "No wonder you score so many points, it turns out that it is so simple to throw into the middle shot." ”

As a 17-year-old with a perverse personality, Arenas couldn't stand the excitement and shouted at his teammates, "Give me the ball!" I'm going to kick that dog XX's balls! ”

Li Ao, who was retreating, paid attention to the changes in Arenas's mood, and when he saw that the other party had started to yell at his teammates, he quickly called his teammates together and said a few words.

Defensive on-court adjustments, the Trojans are generally under the power of Shelby Jordan or Charles.

This is the first time Li Ao has done this, but his teammates have chosen to execute it, and the cohesion of the team is reflected at this moment.

Arenas advanced to the frontcourt, and after his teammates fell into position, he directly burst into Li Ao to interfere with the shot.

There was no other way to attack, and after Arenas burst to the free throw line, he made a sharp stop, stepped back, and shot two points long...... As soon as he jumped up and lifted the ball, his pupils dilated instantly!

How could this guy possibly pounce on the spot?

He saw Li Ao appear in front of him!

Although the bounce gap is huge, the difference in height and arm span between the two is even greater!

Although Arenas was surprised, his body movements did not stop, and he forcibly leaned back to avoid Li Ao's block and threw the ball, which would fly above Li Ao's fingers.

However, the cover was avoided, and the ball did not touch the frame directly.

Three do not stick!

The rest of the Trojans received a circle in the middle, giving Richard Jefferson and Woods no chance to rush, and Shelby Jordan protected the rebound.

Shelby Jordan took the rebound and spewed directly: "This gambling defense of his XX has actually become!" ”

The other three were equally surprised.

This defensive anticipation talent is also too good!

The teammates felt that this was a risk, but Li Ao was actually quite sure here.

Based on what he knew about Arenas, and his judgment after the personal alignment tonight, he felt that there was a good chance that Arenas would respond with a pull-up jumper regardless of it.

He didn't chase the defense with all his strength after being passed just now, and he didn't care about Arenas's sudden inside line at all, he had already ordered his teammates in advance to block Arenas in the middle to break through, and when Arenas made a quick stop and retreat, he could immediately press it.

He has always felt that defense depends on his brain in addition to ability.

Sometimes the method that you come up with with your brain sounds outrageous, but the other party's style of play is really so outrageous.

When it came to the Trojans' attack, Granville didn't continue to break through, and to slow down, he hoisted the ball to Brushenthal from close range, who singled Woods with a face-to-face frame.

Taking advantage of his skilful singles footwork, Brushenthal strides back to the baseline and throws...... Disturbed by Woods.

The ball bounced off the inside of the rim and Woods defended the rebound.

Although Woods was useless on the offensive end against the Trojans' strong interior line, his defense was still top in college.

Having lost another chance to extend the margin to more than 5 points, Li Ao regretted that when he turned around and retreated from the baseline, he heard Rute Olsen shouting from the sidelines: "Rick, you press the rhythm, Gilbert, you pull away and rest first." ”

Pretending not to hear, Li Ao quickly ran back to the backcourt.

He didn't make any adjustments right away, and after Rick Anderson advanced up front and ignored Arenas' multiple requests for the ball, he moved from the wing to the top arc and motioned for Granvill to go to the wing.

"Shall I guard against him? You're kidding? ”

Granville pupil earthquake.

You want me to die?

Li Ao replied without replying: "You just need to go around the front." ”

Seeing Arenas run to the flank, Granville gritted his teeth and chased after him.

Granville was nervous and sweating.

The opponent is taller than him, stronger than him, and the mid-range throw is also accurate...... Such an opponent plays without the ball, how can he defend it?

He really wanted to pull Li Ao's ear and aim at the hole: What immortal tricks did you teach me to use to prevent it?

Then, a few seconds pass......

Granville: (.) ŏ_ŏ)

Why don't you move this product?

Why do you just stand still?

Am I this, prevented?

Move! Otherwise, it seems that my questioning just now is very stupid.

On the other hand, Rick Anderson regretted it.

What can you do!

Why did he listen to the manager with a lud?

How good it is to pass to Arenas.

He just couldn't get used to Arenas forcing Ruben Douglas to transfer in that way, and he didn't recognize Arenas' strength.

Arenas couldn't have imagined that in this matter, the relatively highest evaluation of him was actually the No. 0 player opposite him who he wanted to bite to death.

Rick Anderson saw Arenas pass Li Ao more easily than drinking water, but when it came time for him to break through, the whole thing was stuck to death! Forced to stop in the top corner of the right side of the free throw line!

Thanks to Luke Wharton, he was able to send the ball away in a desperate way.

Luke Wharton should split the ball, should split the ball, split the ball, the ball...... Sister!

He now thinks the same thing as Granville.

That bastard is going to move it!

Arenas is very poor off the ball, which is still good.

To put it bluntly, Arenas doesn't have the ability to run without the ball.

For no other reason, he has always been the core of the ball since he played in the Southern California Juniors Amateur League in junior high school, and when he was tired of playing, he stood aside to receive shots.

Luke Wharton was forced to face Shelby Jordan's single, broke through the emergency stop, and did not play the role of an emergency stop at all, and it was a shot that "banged".

Li Ao took it back...... The ball was picked up by Brushenthal and he turned and ran forward.

Rebounding, if you go on like this, you're going to be overtaken by steals.

When it came to the Trojans' offense, Brushenthal singled the ball, Li Ao received the ball on the left side of the three-second zone and passed to Granville, Granville passed again, and Bai Mamba took the ball and threw it...... It's a pity that this time the white mamba is also iron.

Rick Anderson grabbed the defensive rebound and threw it to Arenas like a hot potato.

Arenas gave Rick Anderson a contemptuous look and advanced to the frontcourt.

Li Ao, who retreated, saw this scene and switched defenses with Granville again, and he was sure that Arenas would not give the ball to Rick Anderson to attack again, so he rushed to the round Rick Anderson refused to give the ball to Arenas.

Arenas singled Li Ao, did not break through directly, but quickly pulled horizontally.

Li Ao was forced to move sideways with all his strength to interfere with Arenas' shooting, Arenas seized the opportunity, made a quick stop, pulled a big stride back to the position just now, jumped, and shot three-pointers......

This rhythm is what Arenas likes!

However, it is iron!

After Arenas paused for one round of singles, the fatigue of playing singles for several minutes hit him, and his incredible form was suddenly gone!

When it came to the Trojans' offense, Granville's breakaway high throw was also iron.

After a period of highlights, both teams are starting to get on the edge!

The reason why the Trojans are iron is that the Wildcats have switched to the best defensive lineup.

The reason why the Wildcats are iron-clad...... Arenas's state was ruined by Li Ao!

After another hit, Arenas finally scored a goal.

On the Trojans' side, they only relied on Shelby Jordan's basket to make two foul shots, and the score of the two teams came to 28-24, and the Trojans still only had a four-point lead.

The iron will spread, and when the Wildcats attacked, Luke Wharton's open three-pointers were also iron, and Li Ao finally grabbed the rebound, and he grabbed the racket in the direction of the top arc before Richard Jefferson.

Granville receives the ball and counters!

Arenas couldn't catch up with his life, and gave up after chasing the three-point line, watching Granville trot all the way into the interior and hit a layup.

At 30-24, the Trojans' lead finally extended to 6 points, and the Wildcats called a timeout!

After scorching for so long, he finally played a fairly clear lead, and the fans in the stadium cheered incessantly after entering the timeout.

That's it, after 15 minutes of play, the score is only 30-24......

You must know that when you play 9 minutes, the score is already 24-20.

The fans thought it was an offensive battle, but who knew that it would become a defensive battle!

This transformation...... The fans invariably focused their attention on the two-meter man with a small milk dog face......
