Chapter 15 Intra-team competition

But at this time, Eliasso and Stekemal were divided into different teams, and it was impossible to talk about fighting and cooperating. The two were standing in the distance and were depressed. Suddenly a voice sounded from behind. : "Why are you two in a daze here, play hard and don't use your brains, or I, Coupard, will not spare you."

The three of them are not on the same side as Coupard. In their words, Coupard is a person who has no pursuit. The three of them are still planning to show off their talents on the platform of the University of Southern California, so if you don’t play well Coppard, who caused troubles every day, was naturally not pleasing to the eye, but because the force value was far from Coopard, they did not dare to provoke Coupard.

The game started again soon, and Stephen's team became the defensive side. This time the offense completed the offense with a beautiful pick-and-roll and scored a three-pointer.

In this attack, Eliasso still handed the ball to Stephen as soon as halftime passed. It seemed that he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't see Stephen making a fool of himself. However, Stephen has now adapted to the atmosphere on the court. Get entangled with Stekemal, who is on the opposite position, and immediately throw the ball back to Louis Admondson inside. Gabe Pruitt has no effect on him at all. The gap in strength between the two is too obvious.

Although Admondson's singles was unsuccessful, it did not mean that the tactics were not implemented properly, so Benjamin kept nodding while watching. It seemed that although Stephen did not end, he had a good understanding of tactics.

You come and go, the two sides quickly finished the first half, and the main team led by 36 to 10. The main reason was that Coupard's performance in the interior was too fierce. Here, Jamario Moon and Louis Alder Monson took turns to attack, neither of them was his opponent, while Stephen scored zero points in the past [-] minutes, but he had four rebounds, two assists and three steals, and his performance was not too bad. Difference.

During the period, although Nick Young and Eliasso had different goals, they both handed the ball to Stephen to attack many times, but Stephen gave up and passed the ball to other people. Slowly everyone understood that this guy Either he has no offensive ability or no offensive desire, so Gabe Proust's defense is a bit absent-minded.

If a player has no offensive ability, it is very easy to defend on the offensive end, because you can’t attack, so the defender can let you go far, and specifically cut off your ball path, so even so, plus Bruitt also caused a lot of trouble for Stephen.

But just at the beginning of the second half, Stephen surprised people. Just when he was running on the edge of the bottom line, Stephen suddenly received a pass from Eliasso. He received the ball at this position, surrounded by the opponent's big defense Players, it is clear that they are going to see Stephen make a fool of themselves.

But Stephen took a look after receiving the ball and found that there was no passing route, and Gabe Pruitt had been left behind by himself, Coupard and Randy Thomas were defending other people, and there happened to be a huge ball in front of them. vacancies can be used.

Stephen suddenly yelled out of nowhere, took the ball to the basket in two steps, and then suddenly jumped high, pouring the ball into the basket like Tarzan pressed the top, and hanging on the basket, he heard the ball. There was a creak, and Stephen hurriedly let go of the hoop and jumped off.

Only then did everyone wake up from their astonishment. This guy was still good at attacking, not just defending. Only Benjamin continued to nod his head in satisfaction. Feel free to pinch others, otherwise the defensive pressure of others will be greater.

Stephen's defensive effect is unexpectedly good, especially against Gabe Pruitt. The two are of similar height. Gabe Pruitt's breakthrough is very sharp. When facing other opponents, he often only needs an acceleration change He can throw the defensive player away, and then there is no big problem whether it is shooting or layup.

However, when facing Stephen, his speed was a little bit worse, and he was often blocked by Stephen after only taking half a step. With his body, he couldn't resist Stephen, and Stephen didn't move when he bumped into him. Not down.

If the breakthrough doesn't work, the only option is to shoot. It's a pity that although his shooting is very fast and the shooting point is not fixed, there is a big technical problem, that is, the height of his shooting is not too fast. Due to the speed of the shot, the ball is often covered by Stephen's big hand as if covering the sky as soon as the shot is taken. Gabe Pruitt, who is defending, does not cry, and looks at Stephen with mourning.

I know that you kid is eager to show yourself for the first time, but you can't use me as a foil. After most of the halftime, you can't score in double digits. How will this make the coach look good? Gabe Pruitt played very uncomfortable, He is the main outside attacker, and their offense has naturally been greatly affected. It wasn't because of Coupard's power inside, Stephen's side had already opened the point difference to more than double digits.

Especially when Gabe Pruitt saw Nick Young hit a mid-range shot again, and then swung his fingers arrogantly, he couldn't help feeling jealous. He was almost [-] points over there, and he didn't even score [-] points. By the way, alas, it would be great if he could switch with Nick Young, so that he can also feel Stephen's strong defensive pressure.

At this moment, as if feeling the voice of Gabe Pruitt, coach Benjamin suddenly called a timeout, and then began to change the lineup on the field. Although Gabe Pruitt and Nick Young were not exchanged, they did Gabe Pruitt and Stekemal were transferred here, but Eliasso and Nick Young were transferred there.

Stephen is still in the position of shooting guard, but he is facing the opponent's small forward Nick Young. Benjamin specially emphasized this point. He hopes to use this change to see whether Stephen's defense can still be used when dealing with different players. As strong as before.

Gabe Pruitt became the point guard for this side. After dribbling the ball for half the court, he looked at Stephen and smiled, just when everyone thought he was going to pass the ball to Stephen, because Eliasso was just now In doing so, he suddenly passed the ball to Stekemal who ran to the bottom corner, and then Stekemal immediately hit a three.

When Nick Young attacked with the ball, he immediately felt the pain of Gabe Pruitt just now. The body that Stephen squeezed over was as heavy as a mountain, and the crowded people couldn't maintain their balance. How can we guarantee a hit like this? So Nick Young kept dribbling the ball and running, trying to get out of the shooting space, but after running a few steps, he found that Stephen's footsteps were very flexible and fast, like a cowhide plaster. It's uncomfortable, and I can't shake it off at all.

Just as he was thinking about whether to pass the ball out and hand it over, while he was hesitating, Stephen suddenly reached out his hand through his armpit and touched the basketball. The ball immediately flew out of Nick Young's hand and fell to the side in the hands of Jamario Moon.

At this time, Gabe Pruitt and Stephen were already running towards their own half, while Alyasso and Nick Young followed closely behind.

Fast break with the pass?Moon hesitated for a moment. In just two seconds, the best opportunity had already been missed. After Gabe Pruitt and Stephen ran to the basket, they couldn't see the ball passing, and they immediately circled back from the baseline. At this time, Moon's pass arrived, and Gabe Pruitt received the ball without hesitation and was a number three. Unfortunately, the ball hit the basket slightly, and then bounced high. At this moment, A big hand suddenly appeared, grabbed the basketball and flipped it down, covering the ball into the basket.

Coach Benjamin nodded again, and discovered another advantage of Stephen, that is, accurate prediction and excellent tip-up awareness.When Gabe Pruitt took the shot, he was still far away from the basket, but the moment the ball missed, he suddenly appeared next to the basket, indicating that he must have predicted the ball early in the morning It is possible not to score, so he was able to rush over in such a short time and put the ball into the basket. This shows that he is still an excellent offensive rebounder, which is the guarantee of the second attack.

The more Coach Benjamin looked at Stephen, the more satisfied he became. How could such a genius with excellent basketball talent be sent into his own hands? Could it be that God really heard his prayers.

It's a pity that Stephen's shooting is really bad. In Punikatu's words, it's so bad that there is no cure. It's not enough to put it into practical use, what a pity, what a pity, otherwise Benjamin would definitely be able to make Stephen a star of tomorrow, and now he can only be made into an all-round defender.

In fact, at this point, Benjamin made a mistake. He took Stephen's super fast reaction speed as a sense of prediction. In fact, Stephen didn't judge that Gabe Pruitt would not score the goal, but everyone's eyes at that time They were all placed on the flying basketball, and Stephen, who didn't notice, looked at the basketball like an ordinary person. When Stephen thought of grabbing an offensive rebound, the ball had already touched the ring. Only at this time did Stephen judge. The ball may not go in, and then reacts in a hurry to grab a rebound, and only after stretching out his hand does he realize that the ball seems to be able to go in, so he backhand dunks the ball in.

The four-point scoring lasted until the end of the game. As the game was about to end, Coach Benjamin suddenly felt a rush of urination. He asked assistant coach Simon Davis to observe the game below, and hurried towards the bathroom. He has a small problem with his prostate, and he can't hold back the urge to urinate, otherwise he will pee his pants. Everyone in the coaching staff knows about his problem.

Seeing Coach Benjamin leave, Eliasso's heart moved. He and Rust were recruited by Simon Davis at the beginning, and they were naturally close to him. Under their influence, Si Tekemal is also relatively familiar with Simon Davis, but he is relatively alienated from Coach Benjamin.
