Junior Basketball says

Chapter 61
Back in the locker room, Xu Hao still remained silent, but those who were familiar with him could see that his mood was very wrong.Gong Xiaoyang also felt the same way. He pulled Xu Hao aside before setting up tactics, and asked seriously: "Your eyes tell me that your current state is not right. If you can't control your emotions, I will consider sending you to the side." Remove the starter."

Xu Hao took a long breath and murmured: "I'm just unhappy with their attitude... If we are stronger, they should be able to treat this game more seriously instead of treating it as a game... ..."

Gong Xiaoyang was silent for a while, and said lightly: "There is no way, this is the gap caused by the basketball level of the two countries' campuses. So what you have to do is to slap them in the face during the game and tell them that we are not easy to mess with." .”

Xu Hao nodded, but did not speak.He is indeed dissatisfied with the attitude of the players at Oak Hill High School, and speaking with basketball is the best way to fight back. Although the possibility of winning is slim, at least he must play an awesome performance.

After bowing politely to Gong Xiaoyang, Xu Hao silently returned to his seat.But as soon as he sat down, Shen Yanqiu, the point guard who started with him in this game, quietly sat down next to him and asked in a low voice: "Xu Hao, yesterday you made suggestions to strengthen perimeter defense. There must be something good about it." Do you have an idea? Why don’t you share it with me now?”

Xu Hao smiled helplessly: "There is no doubt that they are better than us. I have no way to close the gap in a short time. In fact, the only thing we can do in the game is to treat ourselves as a piece of dog skin plaster. It is enough to make them too comfortable. And in my opinion, it is difficult for us to prevent them from scoring, just like Director Gong said, do our best!"

Shen Yanqiu's eyes flickered, and Xu Hao didn't know if he had listened or not, or if he still had some little plans of his own.However, in the face of the absolute gap in strength, any tricks are useless. The only thing that can work is to use yourself as a weapon, bite the opponent vigorously in each round, and not be afraid of high-intensity physical confrontation. Make them back off.

When everyone was ready and the game was about to start, the players walked out of the locker room in a row and walked along the player tunnel to the sidelines.Xu Hao and the other five stepped onto the court after listening to Gong Xiaoyang's last instructions, while the others sat down on the bench, watching nervously and paying attention to the dynamics on the court.

At the beginning of the game, Oak Hill High School easily won the first wave of possession.Prince points the ball to Lawson in mid-air, and the latter puts his foot on the gas pedal and dribbles the ball forward quickly.Although both Lawson and Jennings can play point guards on this team, Lawson generally handles the ball mainly because he is shorter and his shooting ability is not as good as Jennings. .

Even so, Lawson is not an easy defense for the Challengers.Shen Yanqiu, who was in charge of guarding him, didn't pay attention, and was easily passed by the opponent, so he could only follow behind and eat ashes.Before he could keep up with Lawson, the latter jumped up and made a throw from a position one step inside the free throw line. The basketball passed Ma Guanming's fingertips and fell into the basket without any suspense.

Xu Hao frowned, but he didn't say anything. Shen Yanqiu was above him in terms of qualifications and experience. Although everyone was about the same age, Xu Hao could only be regarded as a junior.So he planned to remind Shen Yanqiu in his own way.

When it was the Challengers' turn to attack, Xu Hao rarely took the initiative to ask for the ball on the weak side. Shen Yanqiu, who was trapped in Lawson's defense, gave the ball to him immediately.But Xu Hao didn't pull up and shoot like before. He didn't even plan to shoot. He just glanced at Jennings in front of him, took two steps back, immediately started, and rushed towards the inside.

Jennings was also caught off guard. The speed of the Chinese defender in front of him was beyond his imagination. He had always thought that people of the yellow race were slow and speed was not their strong point at all.If so, Jennings quickly turned around after a short shock, and quickly caught up with Xu Hao's footsteps, which was also caused by the explosive power of the black man.

Xu Hao naturally noticed the pursuers behind him, and he was a little nervous. After all, breaking through for layups was not his conventional weapon.But the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. He can only bite the bullet and rush to the basket, and he has to resist the ubiquitous physical contact.

The tower-like Prince was standing in front of him, but Xu Hao managed to grab a little space under his giant palm and relied on him to make a difficult layup.After landing, Xu Hao staggered, but quickly stabilized his figure and gave Shen Yanqiu a meaningful look.Xu Hao's strange eyes made Shen Yanqiu stunned for a moment, and then his face turned slightly red, which was obviously a silent protest.

However, habits cannot be corrected in a short period of time. When it was Oak Hill High School's turn to attack, even though Shen Yanqiu tried his best to interfere with Lawson's movements, he could not relax mentally. Shen Yanqiu felt that he had done a good job for being able to do such a heavy defensive task in this game.

Xu Hao soon discovered that he could not rely on his partner for outside defense, so he became more determined when defending Jennings.He's living up to what he said before the game started -- to stalk like a candy bar on defense.

Although Jennings shot well and was quite impactful, he was not as strong as Lawson. From this point of view, Xu Hao's defensive difficulty seemed to be slightly weaker than Shen Yanqiu's.However, only Xu Hao himself knows how painful it is to play against a player like Jennings on the defensive end. He is like a loach drilling through the defensive system and creating various loopholes. Xu Hao has to do his best. I tried my best to keep up with his footsteps, for fear that a momentary negligence would give the opponent a chance to score.

His defense also gave Jennings a headache.In fact, in the previous games, Jennings had never encountered such a high defensive intensity in one-on-one. Generally, the opponent needs double teams to give him such a feeling.It also made Jennings look at this opponent from the far east with admiration. He did what most high school guards couldn't do.

But this is not the reason for Jennings to keep his hand. For him, the best way to respect an opponent is to use all his skills to defeat him, so that he can be worthy of the identity and strength of the top guard in American high schools.
