Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 277: The Raptors Cross the River!

Jinguji Budao scored consecutive goals, and finally made the players of the White team realize his threat.And the young people watching the game on the sidelines completely changed their original views on Jinguji Budao at this moment.

No one will think that the yellow man who scored 8 points in just a few minutes and was able to score difficult three-pointers under Stephen Jackson's defense is a rookie who can't play.

And as Jinguji Budo's three-pointer hit the net, Stephen Jackson's face finally revealed a somewhat dignified look.

"That kid... is quite confident in his projection!"

"Except for the first shot which was a cut-in layup, the remaining two shots were three-pointers."

"And just after his double crossover, my defense has already shown a little flaw, but he still chose a three-pointer."

"From this point of view, you can't be too far away from this guy when defending, you have to be close to him, and you can't give him a chance to shoot."

Stephen Jackson thought so in his heart, turned his head and said to his teammates:
"Change the defense, man to man."

"I guard against that yellow man."

"Danny, pass me the ball later!"

Stephen Jackson simply adjusted the team's defensive formation, and in the end, he didn't forget to ask Danny for the ball.After being hit with a three-pointer in the face by Jinguji Budao, Stephen Jackson would not just swallow this breath.

Compared with European team basketball, Laomei's basketball belongs to the kind of star basketball.Especially in the 90s, under the influence of Jordan, this basketball style even impressed campus basketball.

And a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, this is what a star needs to do.

Although Stephen Jackson has not yet entered the NBA, but at Oak Hill College, he is the head player, the star of Oak Hill!

Between offense and defense, Danny quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and after entering the frontcourt, he quickly gave the ball to the latter as Stephen Jackson instructed.

"Stephen Jackson!"

"The peak can score 40+ in the NBA, what level is it in high school?"

Jinguji Budo is not very impressed with Stephen Jackson playing in the NBA. He just knows a little information about the opponent. He knows that the opponent is a second-round pick in 97. He knows that the opponent was in the Warriors when he was a highlight. It is not bad to know that the opponent is a Qualified point guard, small forward, but that's all.

Wu Dao is really not familiar with Stephen Jackson's playing style, but he is still clear about one thing, this Stephen Jackson has a basket.

Stephen Jackson's road to the NBA was not smooth, nor did he create the myth that one person, one city.If you want to describe Stephen Jackson's career, I'm afraid it would be appropriate to use the word "displaced" to describe him.

Although Bu Dao was not very familiar with Stephen Jackson's style of play, it didn't have much impact on his defense.Knowing that Stephen Jackson has threes and baskets is enough.

When the basketball was transmitted to Stephen Jackson, Takedo Jinguji directly broke away from the zone defense system, and his position was raised to a position close to the three-point line, leaving the mid-range position behind him empty.

In this regard, Steven finally did not give any more "defensive advice". Regarding Budo Jinguji, who scored consecutive goals, Steven did not treat Budo as a fool who can't play as he did at the beginning.

On the court, everyone can always give freedom and tolerance to players who can score.On this point, I am afraid that Lao Zhan, who has missed others, has a good say.

Jinguji Budo was promoted very quickly. The moment Stephen Jackson started with the basketball, Budo had already come in front of him, and the distance between the two was about 30cm.

Budo's center of gravity was kept low, and his right hand was raised high, covering Stephen Jackson's face.It is obviously the kind of defensive posture with a low center of gravity, but in the eyes of Stephen Jackson, Budo's defensive action is quite oppressive, which made him give up the idea of ​​a surprise three-point counterattack.

Stephen Jackson lowered his center of gravity and held the ball in both hands. The basketball was only a dozen centimeters from the ground. He glanced at Budo's footsteps, then raised his head slightly, observing his own players while observing other defensive players.

Suddenly, Stephen Jackson exploded the ball and turned around halfway, and his back was firmly attached to Jinguji Budou's body. The huge force poured directly into Budou's chest, causing Jinguji Budou who was on the defensive side to stop. However, he quickly completed the adjustment and stabilized his heel.

After a trial, Stephen Jackson showed a little surprise. His strength is quite outstanding among high school players. Few people in the same position can stand so firmly under his strong play.Oak Hill College itself is a leader in the country, and as Oak Hill's starting small forward, his ability can be ranked high in the entire high school basketball world.

But this yellow man who came from afar was not much weaker than him in strength, which surprised Stephen Jackson a little.

At the peak, Stephen Jackson's height reached 203cm, and his weight was 100kg.Compared with the peak Kobe in the same position, the height is 198cm and the weight is 93kg.

In high school, Stephen Jackson was 197cm tall and weighed 91kg. Jinguji Budo, who was facing him, was also 196.3cm tall and weighed 88kg. A kind of disparity.

Against Stephen Jackson's body, Budo did not fall into a disadvantage.

Offensive temptation, of course, cannot be just a physical contact.

After Stephen Jackson felt the power of Budo behind him, he decisively changed his offensive strategy. His footsteps sank, his body leaned back, and he made a back attack, but at the moment when his body was about to touch Jinguji Budo, he turned around with the ball , Directly face the basket and break through.

If you don't have an advantage in strength, then use speed and explosive power to get rid of the yellow man in front of you!

As a black man, Stephen Jackson has never lost to a player of other colors in these two events.

"Ohhh! Stephen Jackson made a breakthrough!" Stephen Jackson's breakthrough quickly attracted cheers from the audience. At Oak Hill College, Stephen Jackson was neither big nor small, and he was considered a star.

However, such an exclamation only rang once before it stopped abruptly.

In the arena, Jinguji Budo slid directly to follow up at the moment Stephen Jackson turned around. Although he started later, he followed Stephen Jackson closely. .

"I haven't gotten rid of it! This yellow man's reaction and outburst are very strong!"

Although he had guessed in his heart for a long time, when Stephen Jackson found out that he hadn't completely broken through Budo's defense, he was somewhat surprised in his heart.From the first slam dunk after Budo came on the court, Stephen Jackson knew that Budo's explosion would definitely not be bad, but now seeing that the opponent kept up with his rhythm so easily, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

In this country, black people have always been discriminated against by white people, but when it comes to sports, black people also discriminate against everyone else.

If the outbreak did not overwhelm a black man, it seemed normal to Stephen Jackson, but if the outburst could not overwhelm a yellow man, he would feel ashamed if he said it!
Stephen Jackson's speed did not decrease after the breakthrough. Under the pressure of Jinguji Budo's pursuit, he had no intention of changing his moves. Instead, he increased his horsepower and rushed directly towards the inside line. It looked like a red-headed The blind bull.

Seeing that Stephen Jackson was about to fall into the defensive pocket of the blue team insider Carl Lewis and others, Budou Jinguji's pupils shrank slightly, but his speed suddenly slowed down.

Although Stephen Jackson behaved like a fool without a plan, would Stephen Jackson, who was able to participate in the draft as a high school student and was still selected in the second round, be a fool without a plan?

Sure enough, the next second when Budo slowed down, Stephen Jackson suddenly stopped and joined the ball in the middle distance. While bending his legs to release force, he was also accumulating strength. The next moment he stopped the ball, Stephen Jackson ejected backwards Take off, stop immediately and make a fadeaway jump shot.

This sudden sudden stop caught everyone by surprise, at least, Stephen Jackson himself thought so.

"Hmph!" Just when Stephen Jackson thought that his shot would be successful, a big hand suddenly covered the spotlight above his head, and the shadow covered Stephen Jackson's cheek.

"What?!" At the moment when the basketball was about to be shot, Jinguji Budao's block arrived, and his right hand called towards the basketball in Stephen Jackson's hands aggressively.

However, Bu Dao's block blocking was a bit slow after all. With Bu Dao's chasing posture, it is quite scary to be able to stop and block blocks in the middle of the chase. His own jumping ability cannot be fully utilized.

Bu Dao's fingertips touched the basketball, but the basketball still passed over Bu Dao's head and wiped the board into the net.

Seeing the basketball hit the net, Stephen Jackson, who had a false alarm, couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and then smiled and looked at Jinguji Budao, but when he looked up, there was no sign of Jinguji Budao in front of him.Turning his head to look, he found that Jinguji Budao had already crossed the three-point line at this time, and ran towards the frontcourt.

"It's a fast attack! Come back to the defense!"

Stephen Jackson yelled, but when he yelled, the basketball had already flown over his head.Although Carl Lewis has some minor opinions on Budao, his ability to seize opportunities is quite strong. After sensing Budao's intentions, he directly sent a long pass.

The two played together for the first time, but they had a tacit understanding that no one else could have expected.

Jinguji Budou crossed the center line, and the basketball fell not far in front of him. The white team returned to defense very quickly. White team point guard Danny and the other black brother reacted very quickly. Budou had just crossed the three-point line. At the time, the two who had taken advantage of the position were already on their way back to defense.

At this time, the two quickly ran in front of Budao, holding Jinguji Budao on one side and the other on the right, deliberately suppressing Budao's speed, making it easier for the two to grab the ball while allowing other players to have enough time to react.

The plan of the two of Danny is very good, but Jinguji Budo will not make their plan come true.

As the basketball fell, Wu Dao didn't intend to jump up to catch the ball at all. He accelerated directly and squeezed between Danny and the two of them abruptly. At the same time, Bu Dao also directly relied on brute force to pass through the middle of the two opponents, and rushed towards the front court.

As for Danny and the other two, they were forcibly squeezed by Wu Dao, and their speed was directly slowed down, losing their position in an instant.

Close to the three-pointer, Wu Dao firmly controlled the ball in his hands, then hit the basket with the ball and scored directly with a dunk.

Stephen Jackson just relied on his personal ability to score in singles a second ago, and in less than 10 seconds, Budo Jinguji responded immediately.This counterattack came so fast that everyone in the white team was a little unexpected.

And as Jinguji Budo's personal score rose to 10 points, he has already established his offensive position by relying on his own ability in this game.

As the game progressed, the battle between the blue team and the white team became intense, or in other words, the battle between Budou Jinguji and Stephen Jackson became intense.

Steven is a traditional point guard. Although his breakthrough ability is not bad, his ability to attack the basket is average. His physical fitness limits his performance in the mid-range and near-basket positions, and he can only score with one long shot.The heavy responsibility of the blue team's attack fell entirely on Jinguji Budao, and Budao was more than happy to take over the burden of attack.

After all, he still needs to participate in the team's follow-up games.

With the development of the schedule, the competition has turned into a performance show by Budo Jinguji and Stephen Jackson.

Stephen Jackson's ability is indeed quite good, and his height is also similar to Jinguji Budo's, but Jinguji Budo's offensive methods are too rich, whether it is projection or mid-low footsteps, these make Stephen Jackson Jackson had a terrible headache.

This is the first time he has encountered a player like Jinguji Budao. In many cases, he obviously has a chance to break through, but Budou still chooses to shoot. Leaving aside the technical aspect, Budou's offensive selection and shooting timing are what make Stephen · Jackson was the least used to it.

He is obviously a small forward of nearly two meters, but his playing is very floating, obviously giving people a feeling of instability and waves, but his score has risen rapidly with the progress of the game.

If Stephen Jackson often played against Budo and knew Budo's playing habits, he would still have a chance to limit Budo's performance when defending, but Stephen Jackson has been playing for so long, this is the first time he has met a player like Budo .

With 3 minutes left before the end of the game, the score of the two teams reached 87:88. Jinguji Budo's personal data also came to 36 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal, and 2 turnovers , 2 fouls.

Stephen Jackson, who was facing Budo, scored 28 points and 11 rebounds, which was slightly inferior to Jinguji Budo.

But the blue team where Wu Dao was in was still one point behind.

For such a situation, Jinguji Budo is still a little dissatisfied. The intensity of the competition here is not comparable to that of the Kanagawa competition. His original goal was 50 points, but until now, 40 points is probably the limit.

However, coach Steve Smith on the sidelines was quite satisfied with Jinguji Budo's performance. It was the first time he logged on to a high school court in the United States, and against their Oak Hill Academy players, he still had this level of performance. Steve Smith didn't think of it.

His mental expectation of Jinguji Budo's "excellent performance" is to score 10+ points, make less than 5 turnovers, have four or five assists, and be able to get three or four rebounds.

His expectation of a good player is nothing more than that.

And the performance of martial arts also gave him a big surprise.

"Wu this kid, I really didn't misread him. In just a few minutes, he got used to the intensity of the game so quickly."

"I thought he would need to adapt for a while, but I didn't expect it."

"On the field, this kid can actually suppress Stephen Jackson, it's really amazing!"

"He came to our Oak Hills, it is really a raptor crossing the river. If he is properly cultivated in the team, he should soon attract the attention of the league."

"It's really surprising that Asia can produce such players!"

"Unfortunately, the duration of exchange students is only half a year."
