The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 270 Ankle Crusher?

——TNT TV station! TNT TV station! It is now 10:2 a.m. on October 9, and here is the opening game of the first round of the Washington State High School Basketball Championship brought to you by Nolando! Spokane High School plays at home against the visiting Space Needle team from Seattle Lakeside High School! The players are about to enter!

——As we all know, Spokane High School is the premier championship team in Washington State. It has produced historical point guards like General Stockton. It has the natural soil to breed basketball. Last year, Spokane High School just won the No. 12 championship in team history. Three undefeated seasons, and state championships in history!

——Compared to Spokane High School, the Space Needle Team is a younger team. They were born from Lakeside High School, a prestigious school in the United States. In terms of the status of the school, Lakeside High School is obviously unique in the United States, but it is a pity. , they are better at nurturing businessmen and politicians, and are slightly worse at basketball. Last year, the Space Needle team only achieved 7 wins throughout the season, ranking at the bottom of the league. However, this year they have recruited the strongest international foreign players. Lin Dong, who defeated the National All-Star Team twice in succession at the Nike Summit and U19 World Championships, and had a huge controversy with Ohio Mr. Basketball LeBron!

——In terms of personal strength, Lin Dong is undoubtedly qualified to compete for the title of the strongest high school student in the United States. Unfortunately, basketball is not a one-person sport. The teammates around him are neither the European strongmen in the international team nor the ones he played in the Dragons. Although there are two Japanese players who participated in the Nike Summit among the professional players of the National Youth Team, judging from their performance at the Nike Summit and the World Championships, they cannot be compared with Lin Dong’s former teammates. As for the Space Needle team’s I don’t think I need to introduce the other players. This is more like a battle of personal heroism!

——Yes, Rukawa Kaede, as the team's ace, only scored 11 points against the US team in the World Championships, and Sakuragi Hanamichi only scored 5 points. However, his defense against LeBron in the World Championships was quite successful. Spokane's Assef should be careful, the red-haired Japanese still does a pretty good job on defense.

——The players are entering!

The Spokane team took the lead as the host and immediately aroused cheers from the home fans in the stadium.

The US High School is quite good at engaging in pre-match interactions with the audience and gimmicks. The host took the microphone and passionately introduced each player at the scene. When Mike Assef was introduced, the host raised his voice by eight Volume: "Next, let's welcome the king from Spokane! The ankle crusher! The nightmare on the court! The eternal champion of Spokane High School, Mike~~Ah~~Ser~~!!!"

"Assef! Assef! Assef!"

"Defeat that Asian! Let that arrogant old K understand that not choosing us, the King of Washington, to attend the Nike Summit was the worst decision!"

"OH! OH! The best player in the country is in Spokane!"

To put it bluntly, no matter where a team like the Space Needle goes, it is more in line with their identity and habits to be deserted.

To those who come to send warmth, everyone will send blessings, but to those who want to challenge for home glory, there is nothing to say, you are the one who is booing!

Frankly speaking, the Space Needle played all the away games in Washington State last year and lost many games, but they have never been booed or insulted like this.

They also came to the Spokane Arena last year, but because it was a strong team crushing a weak team, and it was already the middle of the season, there were not so many people in the arena at that time.

The whole stadium was filled with cheers and vibrations, not to mention the stadium. Even the members of the Space Needle team who were waiting in the tunnel behind Spokane felt the floor shake slightly.

The reason was that I was booed, quite severely, and accompanied by many malicious voices.

Doesn’t this audience sound like too much?

Several people were rubbing their hands nervously, saying random things to each other, trying to distract each other's attention.

Although the media, newspapers, TV stations, and the Spokane team themselves all predicted a small victory for Spokane before the game, it is obvious that in the eyes of all fans, the one who has the ability to defeat Lin Dong of the United States National Youth Team The team is still quite dangerous.

But this year is different...

——Beat them by 50 points! These weaklings only deserve 7 wins!

"Long live the Ankle Crusher!"

Who would insult a team that only has 7 wins and is here to give warmth to their home team? It was too late for everyone to welcome them.

——Hahaha, look at these cowards, I bet they would be as thin as needles if they took off their pants!

——Choosing to come to the U.S. High School in Washington State and to face Spokane will definitely be the most regretful decision that Asian has ever made in his life!

- Space Needle Team! Eat shit, you guys!

This year's Space Needle team has Lin Dong, which makes this team's threat to all teams in Washington State skyrocketed.

——Hush!

As for home games, Seattleites don't want to watch them lose. It would be good if the public arena rented by the school could have half the occupancy rate. It is impossible to have such passion, not to mention, based on their rankings in previous years. , there are only a few home games throughout the season, and many locals often joke about this, saying that they save the school the cost of renting a venue.

friendship first, competition later!

But they didn't expect that when they came on stage and the host started introducing them, Tony and the others immediately became more nervous.

I thought they would just wait and stand outside to get used to it. After all, based on last year's experience, home fans across Washington State were quite friendly to them.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede were still a little nervous. Sakuragi kept shaking his legs but didn't say anything, and just kept looking outside.

Tony and others seemed even more nervous.

Lin Dong was quite comfortable with the boos in the audience.

Not only had he expected it, but he had also experienced it before. It’s not like he had never seen these fanatical student basketball fans in the United States. When he led the National Youth Team to challenge the Cougars, the boos were even louder than this.

Lin Dong entered the stadium with a smile and applause, and waved to the surrounding fans who were booing him. His harmless and kind face caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding fans.

——This guy is scared and trying to please us, hahaha!

——These cowardly cowards! Do you still want to challenge us? !

They laughed and cursed, making Tony and others so embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Sakuragi Hanadao was so angry that his face turned red, but Lin Dong smiled happily.

Every country has its own unique culture. You can use trash talk to retaliate against the players who are playing against you, but the best way to retaliate against the boos of the fans is to win.

Moreover, the more fierce they boo, the more bloody and cruel you will win!

Only when they understand that catcalling will irritate you and the consequences will be serious, will they all shut up in fear in the future.

Although Meigao is just a transitional station, it still needs to be well-established for them.

Just start with this smile and wave!

Facts have proved that history will definitely remember this day...

beep!

As the home whistle sounded, both sides jumped the ball.

George Roy, a black man who is 210 centimeters tall, can be regarded as the former ace of the Space Needle team. He was not the captain just because he was black.

Although his skills are not great, his physical fitness is outstanding, his height, wingspan and jumping are quite good. Facing Spokane's center who is only 201 centimeters tall, he still has an absolute advantage when it comes to jumping the ball.

The basketball was shot in the direction of Lin Dong.

Mike Assef, who made bold statements in front of the media yesterday, immediately supported him.

"Hey, Asian!" Mike Assef sneered, trying to use words to stimulate and influence the Asian while defending: "Your good days are over today, I will beat you back to your original shape!"

This guy is about 194 centimeters tall, shorter than Lin Dong, but he looks quite strong, estimated to weigh 90 kilograms. And as soon as he comes up, he makes a lot of defensive moves, making it clear that he wants to eat Lin Dong's physical confrontation.

He has watched Lin Dong's game videos, and it is impossible to guard him if he takes one step to guard him. No matter whether he breaks through or shoots, this guy is too fast, so he can only strengthen him! At the same time, even if the intensity is increased, we must focus on defending his left wing. This guy's left wing breakthrough is so sharp!

There is a difference between close defense and simply staying close. Strength and wrists will interfere with your ball control, making it impossible for you to break through, and leaving you with no room to shoot. This is undoubtedly the best way to defend. .

But not many people can really use it well. Firstly, such defense consumes a lot of physical strength and is difficult to last. Secondly, it is because it is difficult to control the boundaries of defensive actions. Effective close pressing and pure Pulling people around is actually just a thin line.

But this is the home court of Spokane, and Mike Assef is quite confident. Even if he makes some small moves, the referee will not call it off. This is his natural advantage!

But the next second, Lin Dong's actions somewhat subverted his cognition.

Close-fitting pussy? This guy's personal skills are far behind even compared to Sakuragi Hanamichi, let alone Payton, who has been sparring with him every day recently.

Lin Dong did not respond to his trash talk.

At this time, he pushed his back slightly and felt the opponent's strength and center of gravity, followed by a left turn.

Mike Assef had been guarding his left wing for a long time. At this moment, he cheered up and pressed forward with all his weight. Unexpectedly, the opponent's left turn was just a flicker, followed by a heel turn. Turn right.

Assef was taken aback. The opponent's change of direction was so deceptive and so fast that his brain had no time to think about the authenticity of the opponent's movements. This sudden change of direction was no matter what. Can't even keep up.

Fortunately, the strength was enough, and his right hand directly grabbed the jersey on Lin Dong's chest. With the force of this tug, he not only slightly blocked the opponent's breakthrough, but also used the force of his hand to pull him back. The focus is on, and his defensive focus is completely shifted to the right.

The referee didn't call it.

Unexpectedly, I managed to change my focus and follow him, but the jersey I was holding in my right hand slipped from my fingertips. The opponent immediately took a step back, and then stood up.

In this move of Mike Assef's center of gravity, he has used his body to the extreme, and also borrowed the pulling force of his arms, but now he doesn't even have the jersey in his hand to pull the force, and his center of gravity has been thrown too fast, completely useless. Able to keep up with the opponent's movements.

shuh~

pat!

The basketball shot far away from the 3-point line and hit the net hollowly. Mike Assef's center of gravity was thrown off, his legs were tangled, and he fell to the ground.

3:0, the Space Needle team got a good start!

The boos at the scene became slightly quieter, and Lin Dong looked at Mike Assef with a smile.

"Ankle crusher?"

He smiled and shook his head while retreating.

Trash talk is a treatment only opponents of the same level can enjoy.

Like this? That's it, just one more critical hit.

Mike Assef, who was sitting on the ground, turned red in an instant, and his anger level instantly filled up.

F-Fake!
