Standing pretty old

Chapter 9

On a bus heading to Rebe College, the students of the Santa Margarita Catholic High School basketball team are gathering in twos and threes to have fun, humming the most popular R&B on the bulletin board, or discussing the next door The beautiful girl in the class, or simply played a card game to pass the boring time.

That's right, in the eyes of most of them, there is no basketball team worthy of their high regard in the greater Los Angeles area.Of course, their achievements over the past season have indeed endorsed their pride.

Among them, there was a person who seemed out of place with his surrounding teammates. He sat there alone and quietly, as if nothing that happened around him had anything to do with him.If you don't explain it in advance, no one would think that this guy is the team's ACE.

"Hey, Clay, you're in a daze again. When will you get rid of this problem?" A teammate said with a smile.

"Oh, I'm just thinking about something, not in a daze!" The young man named Clay replied.

"Come on, your daze and thinking are the same thing in our eyes. Because your expression looks like you live in another universe no matter what angle you look at!" After speaking, all the teammates burst out laughing.

Clay also laughed, but it didn't take long for the young man to return to his previous state after laughing.

……

The Ribey College basketball team is making final preparations for their upcoming opponent.

Due to their outstanding performance during this period, Erniu quickly became a member of the team's main rotation.In fact, according to the level and talent he has shown, even if he is directly placed in the starting lineup, there is no problem.

In the words of Matthew Gable, the current core of the team's main force, "If it's a game against Kraft, a brute, I will definitely buy myself an insurance before going out!"

Constant basic training has made Ruan Erniu more confident, especially in the low post, whether he is back to the basket or facing the frame, he always has a way to put the ball in the basket.

Top superstars are born with their own offensive system. Coach Luke Holland did not fully believe this before, but since he met Ruan Erniu, he has completely subverted his inherent cognition.

Before the game started, Luke adjusted his thinking again.This genius must be sent to the NCAA, and he can even take the initiative to lead him to report to his cousin.Thinking about the painful NCAA teams that were tortured by the Florida frontcourt, there must be many people who are eagerly looking forward to a talented insider like Kraft.

Because of this, Luke wants to see where the limit of Kraft Nguyen is?Santa Margarita Catholic High School is the perfect test case.

"Kraft, I won't put you in the starting lineup for this game, but I will give you enough playing time to prove yourself. If you perform well, I will write you a letter of recommendation, and you know it is very important for you to join. Does the NCAA mean anything?" Luke said to Er Niu.

Ruan Erniu has been in Midi for almost 5 months.Of course he now understands the significance of a letter of recommendation. In American society, the recommendation of senior people is the key to success.

Give and receive in private?Education corruption?
Maybe, there is always a small group of people who can do things that violate the rules.But most of the time, a good credit society system will regulate a person's behavior to the greatest extent.In the credit society, once a person's integrity goes bankrupt, he also loses his qualifications in the industry.Who dares to smash his own job so easily?
Ruan Erniu clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Sir, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

At this moment Ruan Erniu felt that his choice was really correct.

……

The game officially started, and Ruan Erniu was actively observing his opponents on the bench.Try to make yourself a huge threat to your opponent as soon as you play.

"Why is their team mostly white?" Er Niu asked a black teammate beside him strangely.

"Of course, because Orange County and Santa Margarita are originally the territory of white people. However, you have to look carefully. Those guys who look like white people but have curly hair are actually our 'shallow Color Brothers'."

"Are they mixed blood?" Ruan Erniu asked tentatively.

"Bingo! That's right!"

While chatting, the Santa Margaritas had already started their offensive mode.

Quick offensive and defensive transitions, as well as constant air cuts, transfers, breakthroughs, points, and shots.

Except for their center, the 1-4 position seems to be doing the same job, driving the ball, attracting double-teams, passing or direct shooting.

Such a simple and rough style of play actually quickly opened up the score.They didn't pay much attention to defense, they only relied on offense to hold Ruibei Academy down.What's even more frightening is that their ace player, Klay Thompson, who wears the No. 1 jersey, has no intention of exerting his strength at all.

You know, in this year's state competition, this man who looks as cold as an Italian killer has repeatedly staged a good show of hitting his opponent on the ground with consecutive three-pointers in a short period of time.

Being defeated before the boss's ultimate move came, this is a tragedy that no challenger wants to face.

Ding~~, a whistle sounded, and coach Luke Holland, who couldn't bear it, finally called a timeout.

Of course he thought that he would usher in a failure, but he must not be so powerless and knocked down by his opponent!

"Kraft, get on the court, stop talking nonsense on the bench! Don't you boast that you will definitely join the NCAA? Get rid of your opponent before you talk like this!"

"Of course, sir, I'm ready!" Ruan Erniu clenched his fist with his left hand and hit the palm of his right hand heavily, making a crisp sound.

"Give the ball to Kraft, run around him, no matter who it is, take the decisive shot when you get the chance, understand?"

Everyone formed a circle and folded their hands together.

"1, 2, 3, fight!"

"Hey, Clay, did you see that the opponent's movement is quite loud, what? They lost so much that even the yellow race was lined up? Eh? The figure is quite strong? Could it be a sumo wrestler? Hahahaha!" (It's hard for you to know sumo!)
Klay Thompson smiled slightly, then continued deadpan...

As soon as Ruan Erniu came on the field, he was about to get a position in the low post.

The white center behind him couldn't push him at all, but he kept chanting: "Hey, are you from Nichimaru or from Tianchao? Are you sure you're not mobilized by weightlifting? If you're strong, why don't you go?" Playing football?"

Damn, I met a chatterbox.

Ruan Erniu received the basketball smoothly and made a fake move inward.Then, with a turn of the pivot foot, he broke through directly from the other direction, shaking his opponent away like a big wooden stake.

"Boom!" A two-handed dunk made the teammates off the field erupt.

Gray Pike, who had just been replaced, was the first to stand up, and he opened his arms excitedly to block his teammates behind him.

Please, this is not a Quanmi live broadcast. It's okay, why are you grabbing a shot?

However, the momentum is now starting to favor Rui Bei College.
