Chapter 8 Only strength can be exchanged for respect
Sun Yi's strong defense gave the blue team an advantage, controlled the situation on the court, and stopped the red team.
Head coach McClop, who was watching the game from the sidelines, nodded with satisfaction.
After watching the offense and defense in these rounds, he had already decided to put Sun Yi into the starting lineup.
"This hard-working little guy deserves it."
Assistant coach Smith on the side was also filled with emotion when he saw Sun Yi steal again and again.
"Sun's defense has improved again. His progress is so fast, it's incredible!"
"In the past two months, Sun has brought us surprises every day. What's the fuss?"
McClop glanced at his old partner with disdain, feeling that this old guy had too little knowledge and was always startled.
Assistant coach Smith turned around and saw the expression on his old partner's face, knowing that the old guy had not held it in well, and at the same time he was also despising McClop.
You didn't say you were mistaken at first, but Sun Yi suddenly had an idea and quickly changed his face.
Hey, man!
Just when the two old men despised each other, the timeout ended and the game continued.
The red team attacked. After Curry and Anderson picked and rolled, he got rid of Lucas' defense and broke through to the penalty area.
The players on the blue team are shrinking to the inside. As long as Curry takes the bow hard, he will be spoiled. At that time, the sky will not work, and the ground will not respond.
The elementary school student is a player with an overall view. He saw through the blue team's defensive strategy and immediately distributed the ball.
Bill, who was standing on the outside, received the basketball and made a long jump shot.
8:5!
The red team temporarily stabilized the situation on the field.
The blue team attacked. When Lucas saw Whiteside blocking the inside and asking for the ball, he immediately passed the ball over.
After receiving the pass, Dabai Bian used his poor inside skills to single out Anderson, turned around and failed to hit the throw.
But he took off the second time to grab the offensive rebound and easily put the ball into the basket.
Anderson raised his hand helplessly to indicate his mistake.
Whiteside is so good at jumping and grabbing, it's already good that he can defend him once.
The talent gap is really too big and the disadvantage cannot be undone.
Curry stepped forward and patted Anderson on the shoulder, comforting him not to blame himself so much, and then ran to the baseline to catch the ball.
The red team attacks, Curry breaks through with the ball to attract the defense, and the rest of the red team looks for opportunities to cut towards the basket.
Since the blue team has a large white edge guarding the penalty area, the red team players' attempts to cut in were in vain.
McClop, who was watching the game from the sidelines, saw this scene and was very satisfied with Whiteside's defense.
He believes that the Wildcats' penalty area will be difficult for opponents to attack in the new season.
The red team's tactics failed, and Curry could only attack on his own, seizing Lucas' defensive loopholes and hitting a pull-up jump shot.
Looking back, Ingram failed to hit Bill in a single shot, and the blue team failed to continue the offense.
The red team launched a fast break, and Curry quickly passed the ball to Bill who was running in front on the right.
Bill quickly advanced with the ball, and his teammate Robert followed closely behind.
Seeing this situation, Sun Yi retreated directly to the penalty area. One defense and two defenses did not let him get into trouble. He successfully judged Bill's layup intention, not only destroyed the latter's shot, but also grabbed the rebound.
After landing, Sun Yi immediately made a long pass and passed the ball forward.
This time he deliberately controlled his strength and made no mistakes.
Lucas, who had no time to return to defense just now, received the pass and broke straight to the basket. After attracting the defender, he threw the ball into the air.
Whiteside, who cut in from the center, rose into the air, caught the basketball with both hands, and dunked it into the basket.
12:5!
Robert, who was returning to defense, felt a little unhappy. He was already in an open position just now. He could score a goal by passing the ball to him, but his desperate cry for the ball was ignored.
That was a good two-on-one opportunity, and it was all wasted by that bastard!
"Fake! This cancerous person knows how to show off!" Robert complained angrily.
Originally, Sun Yi played so well, which made Robert very uncomfortable.
If he wants to compete for the starting position, he must compete with Sun Yi.
Now their performance is so different. If they don't work hard, how can they compete?!
Therefore, Robert was very dissatisfied that Bill did not pass the ball to him, leaving him without a chance to perform.
The seeds of conflict have been buried deep, waiting for the moment to blossom and bear fruit.
The red team attacked. Curry dribbled the ball across half court. When he saw his teammates asking for the ball, he passed it without hesitation.
Bill received the pass, looked at Ingram in front of him, and made a triple threat action.
In order to make up for his previous mistakes, he planned to help the team by scoring points.
Seeing Ingram coming up, he immediately released the ball, quickly made a crossover, and passed from the right side of Ingram.
Dabai Bian, who was standing in the penalty area, saw this and came over to defend in time, raising his arms high to interfere.
At the same time, Sun Yi also shrank inside, lurking around, ready to intercept the opponent's pass at any time.
However, Bill was obviously not prepared to pass the ball and chose to force a throw.
Dabai Bian's height and wingspan put great pressure on him, and he had to increase his throwing arc.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame. Sun Yi grabbed the rebound and passed it to Lucas for advancement.
The red team learned their lesson and retreated very quickly this time, leaving no chance for the blue team to break quickly.
Lucas dribbled to the top of the arc and waved, and Whiteside immediately stepped forward to set up a pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Da Baibian did not cut towards the basket, but came to the high post area on the right and provided Sun Yi with an off-ball screen.
Sun Yi used the screen to get rid of the defense and cut towards the basket.
Lucas passed the ball with quick eyes and quick hands.
Anderson, who stayed in the penalty area of the red team, saw that his teammates were so ineffective and immediately stepped forward to cover the defense.
At the same time, he successfully helped Sun Yi get rid of the defensive defender and cut inward towards the basket from the center at the right time.
Reciprocating the favor, Sun Yi smiled, raised his hand and threw the basketball into the air when facing Anderson who came to defend him in time.
The marching Dabai jumped up and easily completed an alley-oop dunk, which greatly boosted the morale of the blue team.
This alley-oop cooperation was undoubtedly very exciting, and even the coaching team on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud.
After the score stretched to double digits, some players on the red team had mental problems.
In this attack, Robert went his own way, not cooperating with his teammates, and wanted to prove his strength.
"In terms of personal strength, I will definitely not lose to this guy in front of me!"
Robert was furious and pushed Sun Yi hard, then released the ball to break through.
What he didn't expect was that not only could Sun Yi not be pushed away, but the basketball in his hand was also violently snatched away.
This is simply a robber!
Sun Yi's big hands firmly grasped the basketball, dribbling towards the frontcourt and launching a fast break.
When he came to the free throw line, he immediately took off and hit a mid-range jumper without stepping forward to defend.
At this time, Robert, who was deeply shocked, rushed back. It was meaningless.
In the next few rounds, the red team either played alone or made passing mistakes, and was defeated by the blue team.
Only half of the game time has passed, and the outcome of the game has gradually lost its suspense.
The head coach on the sidelines, Mike Lopp, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted towards the court.
"What the hell are you fighting for? If you don't want to fight, get out of here!"
"Stephen, your team is basically made up of old students. If you are beaten up by new recruits like Sun and Hassan, I am embarrassed for you!"
"If you are at this level and still want to be a starter, it can only be realized in your dreams, so go back and sleep!"
The red team players on the field all turned red and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Curry asked for a short pause and called the red team players together to discuss countermeasures.
"The head coach is right. We played like a piece of shit, but the game is not over yet. We still have hope. As long as everyone works together, we can create miracles. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The players on the red team recognized Curry's words, and they didn't want to lose so humiliatingly.
"Then listen carefully, this is how we should play next..." Curry quickly laid out his tactics.
Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.
After returning, the mental outlook of the red team players changed.
After being scolded by the head coach, they picked themselves up again.
With Curry as the core of the offense, the players on the red team continued to screen, creating opportunities for Curry to shoot three-pointers.
Under this desperate momentum, Curry is indeed a big heart, constantly hitting difficult three-pointers, gradually narrowing the point difference.
But there was not much time left in the game, and the red team could not complete a shocking comeback.
In the end, the blue team defeated the red team 32-27 and won the match.
Sun Yi's performance in this game was also recognized by all members of the Wildcats team.
Chapter completed!
