The big black dragon originally had a sad look on his face, but after hearing Zhao Qiang's words, he jumped up happily.

"Really, Brother Qiang? Don't fool me!"

"When have I ever fooled you? But don't be so impatient, be a gentleman, and don't act like a hungry wolf when you first come up. Even other girls are frightened by you."

"I know, I know!"

…

With Zhao Qiang's efforts, the whole team is moving forward on the right track.

Coach Anzuo felt much more relaxed now that Zhao Qiang was assisting him, but he was not idle and continued to look for substitute players.

The Cavalry's bench has always been a weak point, and there's nothing that can be done about it except the school's student base.

But coach Anzuo, who has a keen eye, still picked a few good prospects and joined the cavalry team.

Chris, 2.07 meters tall, is a white center who can serve as a substitute for Ben. He has certain support capabilities and can be used as a human shield.

Jerome, 2.05 meters tall, can play the third and fourth positions. His shooting is average, but his defense is very strong.

Brown, 1.93 meters tall, is a guard with a thin body. He has not played basketball for a long time, but he is very accurate in three-pointers.

In the 1990s, the three-point shot was not taken seriously.

Anyone who likes to shoot three-pointers is called a softie.

Therefore, Brown's previous applications to join the basketball team were rejected.

This time during Anzuo's interview, Zhao Qiang saw Brown's three-pointer. It was scary. He actually made 6 of 6 shots from the corner.

After all, Coach Anzo was an old-school coach. Seeing that Brown was very thin, he planned to refuse.

Zhao Qiang came over to talk things over, and Coach Anzuo kept him here.

The cavalry team has performed well recently, so it has attracted more students to sign up.

Coach Anzuo is a bit picky.

In a few days, another important game is about to begin!

The Cavalry's new opponent is the Santa Clara University Broncos, who have a similar style to their own.

The star and captain of the Broncos is famous!

It’s Canada’s legendary guard, Steve Nash!

As the winner of two consecutive NBA MVPs, Nash counterattacked all the way in college and achieved his own brilliant achievements.

In 1992, the skinny Nash entered Santa Clara University, the only school that could provide him with a scholarship.

Four years later, Nash became the school's star player. He led the Broncos to the NCAA tournament three times, including a historic counterattack.

During his freshman year, he led the team as the No. 15 seed and defeated the No. 2 seed, the University of Arizona!

Therefore, before this game, no one was optimistic about the Cavalry, even though they had achieved an impressive three-game winning streak.

Since this was an away game, the Cavaliers came to the Broncos' home court early.

While the players were warming up before the game, a short white player with a full head of hair came to Zhao Qiang.

No need to ask, this is Nash.

Zhao Qiang was excited inside. After all, before traveling through time, he had no chance to meet the famous Nash.

But now the two sides are about to go to war and are now opponents, so Zhao Qiang looks as cold as ice on the surface.

"Who are you looking for?" Ben stopped in front of Nash, thinking that he was looking for trouble.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to meet Zhao Qiang. He played very well in the past few games. I want to make friends with him!"

Nash smiled and explained in a friendly manner.

The atmosphere relaxed, but Zhao Qiang still said lukewarmly: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after the game. We have nothing to talk about now."

Nash looked into Zhao Qiang's eyes and said slowly: "Zhao Qiang, I think the cavalry is our biggest opponent, you have to work hard!"

Although the tone was light and friendly, the atmosphere of challenge still permeated the entire room.

Zhao Qiang understood that Nash valued him very much, so he specifically came to stimulate his fighting spirit.

"Don't worry, Steve, I will blow you up!"

"Haha, okay, I'm just waiting for your words!"

Nash laughed and left the arena.

Big Ben looked at Nash's back and asked in confusion: "I heard that Nash is a very low-key and humble person. Why is he so crazy today? I really want to beat him!"

Zhao Qiang smiled: "Although Nash is very low-key, he is very competitive at heart. He probably heard what others said."

"Have others said bad things about you?" Da Ben was stunned.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe I'm very strong and arrogant. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I'll see you on the field!"

Zhao Qiang was too lazy to think so much.

…

7 p.m., Santa Clara University Arena.

The Cavaliers take on the Broncos on the road.

Broncos starting lineup:

Point Guard: Steve Nash

Shooting Guard: Randy Winn

Small Forward: Malone

Power Forward: Buchwald

Center: Zurek

Head coach is Dick Davie

The lineup of the Cavalry remains unchanged:

Point Guard: Druid

Shooting Guard: Captain Zhao Qiang

Small Forward:Lao Tie

Power Forward: Big Black Dragon

Center: Ben

At the beginning of the first half, the Broncos took advantage of their home court advantage and launched a fierce attack.

When Nash was in college, his ability to read the game was already the best in the NCAA, but his teammates on the Broncos were just not that good.

Even so, Nash led this team and achieved a great record.

Zhao Qiang feels that his speed has improved a lot and his teammates have also improved a lot, so he should be able to withstand the Broncos' run-and-gun fast break.

However, in the first five minutes of the first half, Zhao Qiang felt an overwhelming pressure.

Nash holds the ball in the backcourt and points east and west. Not only does he have an extremely wide field of vision, but he also passes the ball elusively.

The other teammates on the Broncos are indeed averagely talented, similar to the Cavaliers.

But their movements are obviously more proactive and they have a better understanding with Nash.

He often runs counterattack continuously, shakes off the Cavaliers' defenders, reaches the open space, receives Nash's pass, and scores easily.

At 5 minutes and 42 seconds into the first half, the score reached 14:6, with the Broncos leading by 8 points.

Coach Anzuo couldn't stand it any longer, so he had to call a timeout to take a breath.

Zhao Qiang gasped, walked to the sidelines, and kept shaking his head.

Recently, the Cavalry team has been training very hard, and the players' physical strength is quite good.

But this 5-minute game almost made the Cavalry players vomit from exhaustion.

The Broncos' style of play was too radical, and it was completely the prototype of the Suns later.

Unfortunately, the team lacks a basket-facing power forward like Stoudemire.

Fortunately, Buchwald also has some strength and can always turn Nash's passes into points in NCAA competitions.

Coach Anzo is very calm. He knows that if he continues to play like this, the Cavalry will be overwhelmed.

So he decisively issued an order——

"Don't you like fighting? In the following game, you just think of them as Beasley and his accomplices! Don't let them catch the ball, don't let them take action!"
Chapter completed!
