Chapter 133

Arizona State University's home game against Washington State University did not get much attention. Except for the students of Arizona State University who were brainless and supported their team, everyone else thought it would be a one-sided massacre, which was nothing to watch .Even so, the audience seats in the arena are full of people, and the students of this school more or less hope to witness a miracle.

After warm-ups before the game, Evans made the final arrangements in the locker room.Due to the position of the players, he had to form a three-guard lineup in this game. The three guards McMillan, Shipp and Xu Hao all started, and the remaining two places were given to Rhodes and Woods. The average height of the lineup is less than 2 meters, and it can no longer be called a small lineup, it can only be regarded as a pocket lineup.But Evans can't help it. This is the best lineup he can put together.

After clicking the names of these five people, Evans emphasized: "Our height is completely at a disadvantage compared with the other party, so I ask you to run more on the court and create shooting opportunities through continuous penetration. Fight for rebounds No one is allowed to be lazy during the game, the front rebounds are fine, but we must protect the back rebounds and not give the opponent a second chance to attack."

"Of course, there is the most important point, that is to obey Xu's command at all times on the field! If you get into double-teams or other difficulties, you must give him the ball as soon as possible and let him solve the problem. I understand clearly. ?"

"It's clear!" Everyone shouted in unison.Although the team's plight is worrying, it is a rare opportunity for players like them who usually hardly get any playing time. Now it's time to give the opponent a little bit of color.Besides, they still have Xu Hao as a leader to rely on. When they don't know what to do, just give him the ball!

On the other side, Coach Bennett also did what he said, and he also brought out the team's strongest starting lineup: point guard Taylor Rochester, shooting guard Klay Thompson, small forward Nikola Koprevica, big Forward Caleb Forrest, center Aaron Baynes.In Bennett's view, with such a starting lineup, there is almost no suspense in winning this game.

At the beginning of the game, players from both sides jumped the ball to the middle circle. The Arizona State Sun Devils sent Rhodes, while the Washington State Cougars asked Baynes, who had an absolute advantage in height, to bully the opponent's "inside player" .

When the referee threw the ball vertically into the air, Rod and Baines jumped at almost the same time, reaching out to fight for the brown elf.In the end, Baynes still had the height advantage, and he passed the ball to Rochester before Rhodes touched it.The latter was about to catch the ball, but he didn't expect that the basketball that was close at hand disappeared in a flash.

He was a little dizzy, but the fans in the auditorium saw it clearly, and immediately cheered like a tsunami.It was Xu Hao who completed the steal. He adjusted his rhythm in only two steps, and he went straight into the puma's basket like an arrow off the string.

The Puma players behind him, including Baynes, tried their best to chase back, but Xu Hao ignored it. He jumped directly one step inside the free throw line, and flew towards the basket like a glider in mid-air, completing the A very stretched but thunderous dunk.The loud noise when the basketball and the rim collided was like a heavy hammer, knocking hard on everyone's heart.

After landing, Xu Hao didn't celebrate or provoke. He just gave each other high fives with his teammates expressionlessly, and ran back to his own half.For him, any bit of physical strength is precious, and it must be used to the extreme before it can be counted.

The Puma players looked at each other in blank dismay, but then a pang of anger was born in their hearts.It's you who are left to fight now, okay?Why make it seem like we're the underdogs?They are already desperate to respond.

Rochester dribbled the ball past halftime, and several other players were already in position to help him open up space for singles.Although Baynes and Thompson both joined the NBA in the future and made great achievements, at least for now they are just younger brothers who help the boss. The real core of the Cougars is their point guard Rochester. It is normal for him to play singles with the ball of.

It has to be said that Rochester is still very capable, otherwise it would be impossible to suppress the two future NBA stars.McMillan obviously didn't inherit his father's skills. Rochester fooled him with a tentative step, and then went straight to the basket.

Rhodes and Woods on the inside were caught off guard, they didn't expect the opponent to penetrate the outside defense so quickly.Just when Rochester came to the basket unimpeded all the way and was about to make a layup, a person flew out from the slanting stab, pressed the basketball hard on the backboard, and made a loud "bang". The falling basketball was held in his arms, and he gave himself a rebound.

It was Xu Hao who destroyed the puma's offense at the last moment. Originally, he was going to defend the opponent's top shooter Thompson, but it was obvious from Rochester's appearance that he didn't intend to pass the ball. When he fell, he sent a beautiful pegboard hat directly, helping the Sun Devils regain control of the ball.

Xu Hao didn't intend to play a positional battle. As soon as he landed, he rushed towards the other half, not forgetting to call Rhodes to let him pass the ball.Rhodes was in a hurry, but fortunately, the puma players were still surprised by Xu Hao's cap, which gave him the opportunity to throw the ball towards Xu Hao.Rhode's strength was a bit strong, and General Xu Hao grabbed the basketball when the bottom corner was about to go out of bounds. At this time, several Puma players had already returned to their positions, and it was not feasible to hit the basket again.

Facing Thompson who rushed over, Xu Hao's face was calm. He adjusted slightly and took a shot.Thompson was suddenly shocked when Xu Hao took off, and he also jumped up to block the shot. However, Xu Hao had already considered this situation. His shot was obviously backward, and the basketball drew a trajectory with a larger arc than usual. , passing above Thompson's fingers.

The two landed one after another. Thompson looked back at the basket, while Xu Hao ran towards his own half with a calm face.And behind him, the basketball fell straight into the basket with a "shua" in the eyes of everyone, splashing the white net.

Bennett frowned on the sidelines. He thought his team could easily get the upper hand, but he didn't expect Xu Hao to be so strong. He contributed 5 points, 1 steal and 1 block in the first two rounds. They have come from afar to show off.In fact, 5 points is insignificant for the whole game, but it is clear that the momentum of the Sun Devils has risen...
