Standing pretty old

Chapter 10
"F***, where did this Asian monster come from?"

"Is LeBron James playing with us by putting on yellow skin?"

"Bullshit, is it early for Halloween? Is this guy Yao Ming's younger brother?"

Not to mention Santa Margarita's chaotic bench, at least the players on the court are still playing hard.

But once the balance is tilted, it is not so easy to regain balance.

Ruan Erniu not only succeeds repeatedly in offense, but also amazing in the protection of backboard rebounds.

The genius inside not only has its own offensive system, but also has its own basket protection plug-in.Luke Holland nodded in satisfaction.

TIMEOUT.

This time, it was the coach of the visiting team who couldn't help calling a stop.

"This is the consequence of underestimating the enemy! Remember that you are Santa Margaritas, and everyone will be proud of defeating you! That Asian does have a strong ability to kill inside, and his attack in the low post will never lose to that in the Compatriots who play in the NBA. Cut off the passing line, go forward, zone defense when necessary, shrink the defensive line to double-team him, understand?"

After this timeout, Santa Margarita High finally came up with strength to defend.

From the frontcourt to the backcourt, Carlos felt that he could no longer easily hand the ball into the hands of Kraft Nguyen.

Ruan Erniu had to mention the high position to catch the ball. Matthew received the pass from Erniu with an air cut and easily put the ball into the basket.But such wonderful performances are only occasional flashes.

More often, the offensive time is delayed, hasty shots, turnovers, and intercepted balls continue to appear on the court.

And Ruan Erniu, who mentioned the high position, had to use his unskilled mid-range shot to kill his opponent.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"

Er Niu didn't stand still like a wooden stake, but turned into a blacksmith and slammed into the basket.But even so, Coach Holland didn't mean to replace him.The reason is simple, rather than being squandered by others, it is better to let this growing future star experience the game by himself.

Soon, Ruan Erniu repaid the coach's trust with his own practical actions.

"This can't work!" Er Niu said to captain Carlos Rodriguez while taking advantage of the bottom line.

This was an opportunity he had finally gotten, how could he waste it so casually!

"What do you want?"

To be honest, Carlos has experienced many failures. Facing this kind of opponent who is obviously stronger than himself, he doesn't know how to deal with it except working hard until the last moment.To put it bluntly, it's just a habit of losing.

Er Niu fixed his eyes on Carlos, clenched his hands into fists, and made a code word gesture that only the two of them could understand.

"Okay, do as you say!"

Carlos still struggled to dribble the ball across the half court, and the opponent's defender still clung to him tightly.

This time Carlos didn't hesitate at all, and directly dribbled the ball to the inside.

The guard of the visiting team stared at him closely, "Don't even think about it..."

Carlos rushed in, and there was no defender around him, because the opponent was firmly blocked by Ruan Erniu, a beautiful wall.Facing the tall center, Carlos deftly shook his opponent away and succeeded in picking the basket.

The dislocation was small and big, and Carlos firmly grasped the opportunity.

Immediately afterwards, the next Ruibei Academy's offensive round became the most gorgeous performance of the entire game.

Er Niu once again blocked the defender for Carlos in the high position.

Carlos, who went straight to the inside, threw the ball into the air at will in the face of the front and back attack of the opponent's center and defender.

Mistake?
"Get out of the way!" Klay Thompson loudly reminded his teammates!
However, it was too late.

Ruan Erniu, who has fallen from the sky, grabbed the basketball with both hands, shot the basket with gravity, and knocked the opponent's center and guard to the floor at the same time.

Ruan Erniu, who hung the basket high, looked down at the two visiting team players who fell on the ground, staring at the two poor vegetable garden chickens like an ancient overlord.

This is a slam dunk that is enough to break out of conflict. Fortunately, the coaches of the two teams are very experienced.At the same time, they called a timeout, and finally stopped the anger on both sides.

Even the referee who was invited to enforce the game was stunned by the explosion.Such a basketball talent, I'm afraid he will join the NBA sooner or later, right?This Asian may be the next Yao Ming. (Yao Ming: "Aren't you annoying, using my name everywhere, did you pay the copyright fee?" Voice-over: "A man from Modu, can you grow up a little gaba?" [How can you be so petty, a man from Modu? ])
At the end of the half-time game, the home team led the visiting team by 5 points under the circumstances of being completely unfavorable.

Just when the home team was shouting excitedly, they would not have thought that there was a person in the visiting team's locker room whose fighting spirit was ignited.

The second half of the game started quickly.

Ruan Erniu is still the focus of most attention on the field, his unparalleled physical talent, tearing apart the opponent's inside line again and again.

"Swoosh!", "Swoosh!", "Swoosh!"

"Huh? Are we behind?"

"Aren't we pressing them to fight?"

"When did you catch up? Isn't the inside line already occupied by us?"

The basketball was once again in Klay Thompson's hands, "Swoosh!" The ball obediently went into the basket again.

The expression on Thompson's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't done anything.But the scoreboard told everyone that the score was drawn, and this time the visiting team took the lead again.

In the next round, Thompson, who just got the ball from the outside, encountered a double-team, when everyone thought he would pass the ball.

He raised his hand high and jumped into the air.

……

A year ago, Ardesia High School vs. St. Margaret's Catholic High School.

Klay Thompson, a sophomore in high school, sat on the court depressed. It's not that he didn't work hard, but the game has entered garbage time.An awl face completely ruled the basketball court.

This guy has a strong body, quick speed, superb Eurostep skills and a solid step-back shooting percentage.

It was the loss of this game that changed Klay Thompson, who was not very focused before.

He gradually bid farewell to football and baseball, which he was equally obsessed with, and embarked on the road of basketball wholeheartedly.

Practicing hard, focusing more, growing taller, everything marks his growth.

As he led the team to progress and grow, he rekindled his dream of playing in the NBA, just like his once-great father.

And, of course, going head-to-head against that tough guy named James Harden again to see who's the best scorer!
……

"Shua!" The basketball went into the basket again.

But this time, the sound of crazy shouts erupted from the visiting team's bench!
The world is wide open, and Klay Thompson, at least in high school, played at a superstar level with a functional player.

The game was over, and with Thompson's continuous 3-point shooting, Ribey Academy finally accepted the bitter fruit of failure helplessly.

Although Ruan Erniu fought hard inside, he won until the last moment.But in the face of Klay Thompson's explosive scoring performance, it still seemed insignificant.

After the game, Ruan Erniu congratulated the winner - Klay Thompson in a very gracious manner.

And Clay also sent his blessings, "I look forward to our next game in the NCAA or NBA!"

PS: A certain show declares that I do not discriminate geographically, please do not raise the joke to the level of criticism.
