Junior Basketball says

Chapter 157
Stimulated by impulsiveness and enthusiasm, the Sun Devils players practiced harder on the day of the game. Evans had to put the brakes on this group of energetic guys, lest they be unable to cope with the game in a perfect state due to excessive training intensity. .

However, this ban was useless to Xu Hao. Everyone else was about to pack up and leave, but he continued to practice three-pointers with a sullen head.Harden shouted at him from a distance: "Xu, don't practice three-pointers, let's have dinner together!"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "You guys go first, I still have 87 three-pointers to make, so you don't have to wait for me for lunch." Then, Xu Hao dribbled the ball to the bottom three-point line again , hit a rather difficult turnaround jumper.

Of course, the reason why Xu Hao gave himself additional training was entirely because he felt the bottom of North Carolina in the system the night before, but he didn't expect that Sun Demon would be overwhelmed by the opponent at the beginning of the game, and it was even difficult to get inside.Although the Sun Devils almost completed the reversal in the end, it is an indisputable fact that they fell behind throughout the game, which also reflects the gap in strength between the two sides.

In that simulated game, Xu Hao's three-pointers were also restricted to a certain extent, which was also the main reason why the Sun Devils were weak outside.He couldn't control the performance of others, so he practiced three-pointers for himself, hoping to play a normal level in the game.The so-called 100 three-pointers are completely a cover, Xu Hao just wants to practice until he is satisfied.

About half an hour later, Xu Hao hit the last three-pointer, nodded slightly, took off his training clothes and put them on his shoulders, picked up the ball and walked out of the training hall.He is not sure what level he can play tonight, but as long as there is a [-]% possibility, he will put in [-]% effort. He is not a player who admits defeat easily.

After an afternoon of rest, Evans led the team to the FedEx Arena, the arena that hosted the semifinals and also the venue for the Southern Finals.The Sun Devils are obviously not as strong as the University of North Carolina Tar Team, and they are also arranged to play first to warm up.Everyone was very upset about this arrangement, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who told them that their cards were not big?
After stretching his ligaments and stretching his muscles, Xu Hao began to stand outside the three-point line and wait for his teammates to throw the ball to him. He continued to practice his three-point shooting. Become a blacksmith in the game.

After the warm-up, Evans took the players back to the locker room. At this time, none of the North Carolina players had entered the field.Harden snorted dissatisfiedly: "It's really a so-called rich team. Is it playing big by not coming so late?"

Xu Hao laughed: "Is it useful to talk about this now? Let's kick their asses together during the game!"

But North Carolina does have the confidence of a wealthy family. The players looked very serious when they entered the field to warm up, and they did not relax their vigilance at all just because the opponent was only the No. 6 seed in the Southern District.For them, every game must be treated with care. The glory of North Carolina cannot be careless. They all know that as long as there is a sewer overturning, North Carolina will become the laughing stock of the whole United States.

For the Sun Demons, such an opponent is very difficult to deal with, because they never underestimate any opponent, so naturally there is no loophole to take advantage of, and the possibility of defeating the strong with the weak is reduced to one very low level.

In the locker room, Evans was making the final mobilization to the players: "This is a difficult game, but you must also see that as long as we beat North Carolina, we will be able to enter the national semi-finals, and we will be able to win two more games." Can win the national championship! So please let me see your strongest strength, and use your performance to tell each other that Arizona State University is not a weakling to be slaughtered!"

Evans' words ignited a fire in the hearts of every player present. They can't wait to go to the court now and fight North Carolina to the death.After all, as long as they win this game, they will be able to advance to the top four in the country. At that time, the exposure rate will not be a problem at all, and this will also greatly increase their worth. It will also allow those players who want to participate in the draft to be selected at a higher level .

Before going on the court, Evans hugged the team's starting five one by one, and then pushed them hard into the court with his hands.North Carolina coach Williams is doing the same thing, they are full of confidence in their favorite students.

A total of ten players from both sides took their positions. Ailes and Hansbrough came to the center circle to prepare for the jump ball.As soon as the whistle blew, the basketball thrown by the referee had just reached the highest point. Hansbrough gave the ball to Lawson before Ayers.Lawson didn't hesitate to receive the ball, and also dribbled through the half court.

Lawson is very similar to Flynn who Xu Hao played against before. They are both short point guards, but Lawson is still much stronger than Flynn in terms of strength, and he is also faster.Xu Hao had already seen Lawson's sharp breakthrough in the simulated game, and he was prepared for it, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't block this guy. Lawson got past Xu Hao with an acceleration.

When Xu Hao turned around and chased, Lawson was almost at the basket, and Ayres was stretching out his arms and waiting to give him a big hat.Lawson didn't seem to see Ayers' long arm, and bumped into it. Just when Ayers was secretly happy, he found that the basketball was no longer in Lawson's hands, and he gave the ball to the inside very secretly. Green, who scored an easy layup by the latter.

Seeing the surprised eyes of his teammates, Xu Hao raised his hand annoyedly, the goal was his responsibility.If he can slow down Lawson's pace a little, Ayers and Hayward on the inside will have more time to organize the defense, instead of being directly penetrated by Lawson's breakthrough and scoring as they are now.Although fans will think this is normal, it is difficult for Xu Hao to forgive himself.

Looking back, the pick-and-roll between Harden and Ayers had another problem. The connection between the two sides was directly intercepted by Thompson who broke out midway. Luo Luo hit a three-pointer in the counterattack.

However, the North Carolina players were not satisfied. They scored 12 consecutive points in one breath, while the Sun Devils only scored 2 points from Xu Hao's breakthrough layup. Timeout was called.

Everyone on the Sun Devils team looked unhappy. They didn't expect North Carolina to be so strong, leading by double digits at the beginning. If the situation is still like this in the next game, how can they play?Just raise your hand and surrender.
