Chapter 17 Game 1



According to the schedule, the Southern California Trojans played against the Arizona State University Sun Devils in the first game, and then challenged the Golden Bears of the University of California, Berkeley in an away game.

These two teams are not strong teams, so coach Benjamin made an ambitious plan to win two games, but when the game against Arizona State University started, the game developed in a direction he did not expect.

There is only one star player in the Arizona State University team, Echo Diogu. Although this guy is not too tall, he plays aggressively, is strong, and is versatile in scoring, basketball, and blocking shots, so he often causes troubles for other teams. Big trouble.

But this time Benjamin specially designed a defensive plan for him. Louis Edmondson was responsible for defending around the front and cutting off his ball path, while Coupard guarded the inside and used his height and strength to suppress his offense. This guy The passing ability is average, so there is no need to worry about his internal pass.

Unexpectedly, Diogu was restricted well and did not perform much, but an unknown player outside Arizona State University stepped forward and taught Benjamin a hard lesson with four consecutive three-pointers.

Ganya Stekemal, who was facing him, didn't know what was going on. He always slowed down the opponent's footsteps, and couldn't put any defensive pressure on Chris Mimu.

It shouldn't be. Although Stekemal's defense is not very good, it is not so bad. Could it be that he is still dissatisfied with Eliasso? The more Benjamin thinks about it, the more likely it is. With this idea in mind, the more I look at Stekemal, the more it seems that I am not playing well.

When Ste Kemal once again made a defensive error and caused the opponent to score, Benjamin glanced at the bench. He originally wanted John Rust to play, but he thought that he and Eliasso were also in the same group. , it is difficult to guarantee that he is not like Stkemal, and although Rust has good physical fitness, he is not very willing to defend, so it is reasonable not to let him play, so he called Stephen and replaced him Stekemal.

By a thousand coincidences, Stephen set foot on the official game field for the first time, resisting the excitement and the urge to scream, Stephen walked onto the basketball court pretending to be calm.

Sure enough, when Stekemal left the field, he felt bad when he saw that it was Stephen who replaced him. Could it be that the coach had a bad opinion of his own performance? Even Ruth Te didn't let him play?

Stekemal is different from others in that he has a smart mind and immediately thought of this possibility, so when he got off the field, he gave Stephen a high five, and when he got down, he took the initiative to explain to the coach: "Coach , I don’t know what’s wrong with my calf today, it’s always a little dull pain, and I dare not exert strength.”

When Stekemal said this, Benjamin was embarrassed to show him a stern face. Eliasso would be injured if he was injured. If Stekemal was injured again, the people at hand would probably be Be very nervous, especially Stekemal, who plays very smartly and is extremely stable. Although he can't perform super-level on the court, he is definitely reassuring.

This is why Benjamin doubted his condition, but after hearing that he was injured, Benjamin took it very seriously, and immediately called the team doctor to check on Stekemal's injury, while focusing on the game.

Stephen's playing did not have an immediate effect, but instead made Chris Mimou hit another two-pointer in front of him. In the next attack, he naturally had no achievements, but in the next In his defense, everyone's eyes lit up.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Chris Kane was running towards his familiar shooting position, when he suddenly found that there was already a person standing on that position ahead of time.

Ordinary spectators can't tell, but there are many professionals who come here to watch the game. Among the crowd, many people found that Chris Mimo's shooting position is very fixed. The three-point line at a [-]-degree angle to the left and right and a position next to the free throw line are his shooting points, and his direction of travel Always running around on these three points.

Stephen stood on his shooting point all of a sudden, and many people fell in love with him. This guy is not bad. It is really great that he has such good defensive experience and such a good positional awareness at such a young age.

They didn't know that when Stephen stood here for the first time, he hit him by mistake, but Chris Kane kept running around Stephen, trying to draw Stephen away from this position, but he caught his attention , so he stands here on purpose, even if he runs, he always takes this position one step ahead.

This point is not good, and there are other points. After Chris Mimu saw that he could not lead Stephen away, he ran to the outside of the three-point line. You can't take this position outside the three-point line for me.

Stephen didn't occupy this position, but Stephen defended very well. Chris Mimo was not very good in terms of body and technique, but he combined the two very well, and he also had a good shooting skill.

However, when he encountered a strong defense, his advantages could not be brought into play. Naturally, his performance was far below the standard compared to just now, which accordingly set off how successful Stephen's defense was.

Sports is a kind of confrontation in strength. This is the same as many people who obviously have a good body and good skills, but they can't play well. It means that the intensity of defense exceeds his ability, and he can still guarantee his skills when encountering defense. In order not to be deformed and the movements not to be out of shape, there must be a certain amount of strength as a support.

The coach of Arizona State University quickly replaced Chris Kane and replaced him with a guy named Andres, who was much taller than Stephen and was also very strong. Naturally, he played with the idea of ​​using force to control force .

The opponent came up and planned to use strength to force Stephen, but after carrying it a few times and found that there was no movement, he began to rush towards the basket. Stephen did not expect his move, and he was rushed by him, and the others did not think of Stephen. One person will be missed here, and he will be dunked by him after being unprepared. At the same time, because Coupard stretched out his hand, he will make a two plus one.

After the fight is over, this guy turned his head and looked back at Stephen provocatively, as if saying, stop me if you have the ability.

Stephen looked calm on the surface, but he was furious in his heart, maybe the man lost his mind for a while and let you take advantage of a loophole, you are lucky, you dare to provoke me so arrogantly, let's see what happens when I stay Make you look good.

After Andres made the free throw, it was Stephen's turn to attack. Stephen still played a dispensable role in the offense. Everyone else noticed that this guy was playing the shooting guard position, but he didn't seem to be Offensive ability, the ball is spinning around, even his hand can't do it.

However, Stephen didn't just stand there because of this, but still kept running according to the tactics. Even if he didn't participate, he still affected the opponent's defensive formation through running.

When Andres attacked with the ball again, Stephen deliberately pretended to slow down a bit, and then when the guy was about to repeat the trick, he jumped high in the air, held the ball above his head with both hands and smashed it into the ground. When the basket.

Stephen jumped high from the side, jumping higher than him, stretched out his hand and hit the ball out of his hand heavily. The huge force made Andres unable to maintain the corresponding balance in the air at the same time, and he fell backward heavily. fell to the ground.

However, because Stephen jumped very high, and his hand was very clearly seen that his hand was only on the ball, so the referee did not blow the whistle to stop the game, so the game was not interrupted and continued. with.

The ball played by Stephen was copied by the opponent's player, but Nick Yang sneaked from the side and stabbed the ball out of his hand. As soon as he picked it up, Diogu rushed over, waving his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and was about to catch the ball. Andrebwak failed to compete, and Diogu snatched the ball just after he got it went back.

As soon as Diogu took the ball, he turned around and was about to attack. He happened to meet Stephen, who had just landed. Stephen saw that the opponent did not recognize him, and immediately reached out to grab the ball in his hand. As soon as Diogu reacted and prepared to protect the ball, Stephen's hand Already caught the ball, snatched it back as easily as Diogu had snatched it from André Bouak.

Just like in training, Stephen immediately raised his hand after getting the ball, and threw the ball far into his own half. Nick Young had already run away at the fastest speed after seeing Stephen catch the ball , but he was running on the same side of Stephen, but Stephen's pass was passed to the other side.

Fortunately, Stephen's pass was relatively high, and the ball fell slowly. Nick Young looked up to see where the ball was, and hurriedly adjusted his direction. When he received the ball, he was already on the edge of the baseline. At this time, the opponent's The defensive player has also arrived, and lost the opportunity to fast break, so he had to dribble and wait for his teammates to settle.

At this moment, Stephen rushed over. Since he did not participate in many attacks, there was no defensive player in front of him. When he saw this, he ran towards the basket. Although he had no shooting ability, it did not mean that he had no offensive ability at all.

It's a pity that Stephen was too eager, and the other party immediately paid attention to him. Just because he didn't make a shot in the meeting just now, it doesn't mean that he will never make a shot. He has no shooting ability. If he dunks, so although Stephen received Nick Young The two big men over two meters are standing under the basket, so Stephen turned twice and found that there was no chance, and then passed the ball to Gabpuru on the outside Hitter.

Gabe Pruitt made a three-pointer without hesitation, resolutely and decisively, but unfortunately the ball was a bit off the mark, hitting the top of the basket and bouncing high to one side.
