beast basketball

The start of two plus wins greatly increased Coach Benjamin's confidence, and also raised the school's expectations for the Trojans basketball team a lot. The number of people coming to the basketball hall gradually increased, and Stephen became a star figure in the school. A little bit darker.

Back home on Sunday, when talking about her performance, Shi Xianghua was also very happy for Stephen. She told Stephen that in the next home game, no matter how busy she was at work, she would go to watch Stephen's game live.

It is a pity that the next two games of the University of Southern California are away games, away to the Oregon State University Beavers and the University of Oregon Ducks, and then back to the home against the Washington State University Cougars, so Stephen Looks a bit out of interest.

"There will be opportunities in the future. My aunt is still waiting for you to enter the professional league. At that time, I can also proudly say that I am Stephen's aunt." How could Shi Xianghua not know what Stephen was thinking? recognized.

"There will be such a day, don't worry, aunt." Stephen finished speaking firmly to Shi Xianghua, picked up the basketball, and went to training. When he was on the court, he didn't even dare to shoot. How could he let his aunt watch his performance? Just watching yourself grab rebounds, what's the point, no, you have to practice your own shooting.

It's a pity that the effect of shooting training is still not satisfactory. No matter how hard Stephen works, he can't improve much, but the training is still effective. In addition, Stephen has heard a lot about the significance of shooting training from Punikatu. So Stephen is still training very hard.

Stephen used to think that the training of [-] balls a day was just shooting [-] balls and it was over. Later, I realized that it was [-] balls, which was much more difficult for Stephen. According to the general training standard, [-]% In terms of shooting percentage, hitting [-] balls is just [-] shots, but if Stephen wants to complete [-] shots, he needs to make [-] shots.

Six hundred shots is not a small number. Even if the frequency is fast, it will take at least four hours. If the time consumed by other things is added, it will be longer. Stephen still went back to add after training at school. Practicing.

Soon, Stephen followed the team to Corvallis, Oregon, where Oregon State University is located. Many universities in the United States are located in small towns next to some big cities. Corvallis is here, and only tens of thousands of people live here. The flowers are blooming and the seasons are like spring. Due to the proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the large amount of water vapor brought by the humid sea breeze, the climate here is very mild.

The level of the Oregon State University Beavers is basically the bottom one in the Pacific Ten Schools League, so Stephen's team basically won without encountering any resistance, because the opponent has no players to focus on defending , Stephen didn't play for long, and the statistics are naturally very average, so the team won three consecutive victories.

The University of Oregon is located in Eugene, the second largest city in Oregon. It is slightly larger than Corvallis. Similar to Corvallis, the scenery here is very beautiful, and the natural environment and cultural environment are excellent. Here, college students can take all kinds of public transportation in the city for free. There are picturesque snow-capped mountains in the east of the city, and sunny sunset beaches in the west. After coming here, after training, Stephen and others will go to the street together It's a wonderful thing to browse on the Internet.

But when the game with the University of Oregon started, the beauty was gone. The sports of the University of Oregon were already very good. Rugby and track and field were the two most outstanding, but basketball was not far behind. The first ncaa basketball The championship of the league was taken away by the University of Oregon. The University of Oregon is also a frequent visitor to the top 64 of ncaa, but in recent years, the results have declined slightly. In Benjamin's vision, the University of Southern California wants to enter the top 64 tournament and defeat the University of Oregon. Stealing his spot is the greatest possibility.

This is also the first time Stephen has been arranged to start the game, in order to deal with the opponent's swingman Malik Hairston. This guy is 1.9 meters tall, strong and fast. Considering Nick Young's physical strength may not To compete with him, and the team's offense is very dependent on Nick Young, so Benjamin arranged for Stephen to defend him at the beginning.

This guy's body is indeed strong, this is Stephen's first feeling when he came up, he is much stronger than Andres last time, but his strength is not an advantage against Stephen, so he only fights After waiting for 5 minutes, seeing that Hairston could not take advantage of it, the opposing coach waved his hand and replaced it with a smaller player.

His name is Aaron Brooks, and he is only 1.8 meters tall. He looks like an elf standing on the basketball court. He is a sophomore. He performed very well in the first few games of the University of Oregon, so Benjamin still Focused on arranging certain defensive tactics for him, who knew that he did not start this game.

But seeing him sitting on the bench in a game uniform, it means that he may still play, so Benjamin didn't dare to be too careless. This small player entered the starting lineup as a freshman and performed quite well. This year, His performance has improved by leaps and bounds, averaging from less than [-] points to about [-] points per game, ranking first in the team's scoring list.

Seeing him play, Benjamin hurriedly replaced Gabe Pruitt and replaced him with Andre Bwak. His height and flexibility are similar to the opponent's, at least he can restrain himself in defense.

Unexpectedly, this Brooks showed his lightning speed after he came on the court. He passed through Buwak's defense with an acceleration, and then bypassed Edmondson and made a direct layup.

Although this guy is a loophole in defense, there is really nothing to say about his offensive talent, especially the continuity of the offense, which is really amazing, as if seeing another Iverson.

The second attack after playing was a three-pointer with an emergency stop. After the third point broke through, he gave the ball to his teammate Marty Lenning, assisted the opponent to hit a three-pointer, and then made another jumper after a breakthrough. Coupard's block hit a two-pointer.

In less than 3 minutes of playing, this guy helped the team score [-] points directly or indirectly, while USC only scored [-] points, and [-] points were obtained through free throws. When Brooks defended, because of Insufficient strength, he was forced to attack and gave two points to the Trojans of Southern California. Otherwise, it is not known whether they can get these two points.

Seeing that Buwak had no restrictions on the opponent's defense, but weakened his own team's offensive ability, Coach Benjamin looked at it but couldn't do anything about it. This kind of unique player is relatively rare in the first place. This time specially prepares a similar player, so Benjamin has nothing to do, since he will fight against it, compared to the attack power, his side is not bad.

In this way, he will see Stephen on the field. This guy is a bit of a headache. There is nothing to say about defense. With his physical condition, let alone in the college league, he can handle it even in the professional league. This offense is so bad, it's unimaginably bad.

It’s better to replace him to strengthen the offense, otherwise this point will be wasted. Benjamin thought of this, so he replaced Stephen with Gabe Pruitt, still using Buwak to limit Brooks, and using Gabe Pruitt to attack The opponent's line of defense.

Stephen was sitting on the bench, and he didn't have any thoughts of getting angry. It's good to be able to play in this situation. He didn't want to think about it. Being small also has the advantage of being small. No one can match his speed and agility. Whether it is mid-range shots or three-pointers, his shooting percentages are above the standard. It seems that this guy is not bad.

After Stephen left the court, there were more people showing off in the University of Oregon lineup. Hairston had no restrictions, and he and Brooks took turns attacking the defense of USC, causing Coupard to foul twice and Edmondson to foul once. , Benjamin was forced to have no choice but to replace Jamalio Moon with Coupard.

Passive substitutions like this are something every coach is reluctant to do, but it’s impossible not to change players. The score on the field is behind, and the situation is getting worse. Substitutions are also a no-brainer.

Seeing that Buwak was becoming more and more useless on the field, with poor offense and defense, Benjamin thought about it and decided to replace him. Who should be replaced? Benjamin looked at Rust and Stephen. Te's offense is far better than Stephen's, but his defense has dropped one by one. It would be great if Stekemal was there. At least he is better than Rust. Unfortunately, he has a calf strain and needs to rest for two weeks.

The substitution has not yet seen the effect. Benjamin saw that the opponent's power forward Marty Lunning has been pulling to the outside to put in a three-pointer, but his side's Edmondson couldn't keep up, causing the defense to lose his position. Immediately replaced Stephen, I played a large and a small head office, anyway, the opponent does not have any strong inside line, just leave one person to guard the restricted area.

Stephen was facing Martin Luning, a big white man. This guy had a soft touch on the outside but no offensive ability on the inside. Although he was more than ten centimeters taller than Stephen, Stephen's jumping made up for the difference in height. Being tightly restricted by Stephen, at the same time, with Stephen participating in the defense, the chances of the opponent breaking through to the inside and scoring are greatly reduced.

At the same time, the firepower on the outside line did not weaken because of this. Nick Young, Gabe Pruitt and Rust fired frequently on the outside line, and Stephen guaranteed offensive rebounds, quickly tying the score.

When the second half started, Benjamin simply maintained this lineup, but replaced the inside line with Coupard, and then Stephen, in addition to restricting the opponent's players in defense and grabbing rebounds in offense, occasionally connected for others ball path.

In the last 5 minutes, the University of Oregon was still behind by three points, and then they started a frenzied counterattack, but Stephen blocked a three-point shot by Marty Renning, and then cut off Hairston's pass. The ball, and finally when Brooks broke through with the ball, he suddenly used an empty hand and broke the ball.
