Chapter 33 You're Stronger or I'm Stronger
Chapter 33: Are you strong or I strong
However, Bill Salman's arrival was very effective for the inspiration of others. A group of simple-minded guys, just a few words, made you hurriedly unable to find the east, south, west and north. It was so inferior. I could even say one, two or three when I got up.
Just when they were full of fighting and eager to fight, an accident happened. Stekemal once again strained his calf muscle, while the team's substitute center Jamario Moon suffered from the flu, which was very serious for the Westerners, and suddenly lost two generals, which made Benjamin frown.
In recent games, Stkemal has been the most important firepower point for the team's substitute lineup, and Chris Mimu is also the strongest inside player except Cooper. However, his playing style cannot match Cooper, so he was placed in the substitute lineup.
In this way, it means that the team's sixth and seventh players cannot play. Before such a critical game in the semi-finals, Benjamin didn't know whether God was dissatisfied with himself or his preference for his opponent, otherwise why did such a thing happen?
Stephen was still thinking about what Bill Salman said at this time. It’s easy to say that Jing Han? It’s just that he has a bigger movement, but how should he express his momentum? His sharp eyes, his flamboyant movements? He is still talking nonsense. Stephen is really not very good at it. From the bottom of his bones, Stephen is at most a street gangster, and he is also an amateur. After all, with Shi Xiangdong’s management, Stephen can’t even get rid of it.
Although Stephen's violent factors gradually emerged after his body became stronger. After encountering something, he also liked to use violent means to solve it, such as Coupard and Johnson Werney. However, when he arrived at the court, Stephen tried to avoid using his physical advantages to deal with his opponents. On the one hand, Stephen felt that it was a bit unfair to do so, and on the other hand, he did not want to expose his own body.
But now it seems that I feel a bit sorry for doing this. Why don’t you use this kind of body? The body is your own, not stolen. I have to pay a lot of money to be strong. Not only will I take risks, I have to leave my hometown and run from the eastern United States to the western region.
Anyway, there are only two games left, and my body should be used, so that the players who are facing him will walk around as soon as they see him, to see who dares to attack in front of him, Stephen made up his mind and put this aside. For someone who is injured in the team, that is something Benjamin should consider. Anyway, Stephen doesn't need a substitute, no matter who is injured, it's nothing more than Coupardo playing for a while, and there is a Rust behind him, so he can hold on for a while.
As for the team's offensive firepower, Stephen decided to wait for Nick Young and others to come out and provide offensive help to the team. Anyway, he is ready to use his body well and can naturally use it in the offense, so he doesn't believe in his own strength and cannot kill the inside.
As long as you go to the inside, you will be detained one by one, and see who dares to stand in front of you. After Stephen decided to come down, he would take the initiative to communicate with Benjamin, hoping that he could take on greater responsibility in the offense. Benjamin looked up and down and didn't understand what Stephen meant. What was he going to do. He wanted to show his face in the national live broadcast and increase his value. However, when Stephen clarified his meaning, he just hoped to be the substitute lineup.
On the court, after he worked a little more on the offensive end, Benjamin nodded in understanding. No matter what, since Stephen entered the basketball team, he has always focused on the interests of the team, and has never fought for anything, and he is hardworking. At the same time, Benjamin also considered that with Stephen's playing style, even if he cannot score a goal, he could still make a killing point for the opponent. Of course, Benjamin did not expect that Stephen's lethal power would be so powerful, so he agreed to Stephen's request.
Since the game is already in front of you, it is unlikely to practice tactics temporarily, and there is no time left. Moreover, when the substitute lineup is on the court, there is no tactics at all, so Benjamin only needs to give an order.
The match between the University of Southern California and the University of Illinois began in a grand and warm atmosphere. Since the game was held in a football field, the number of people present was more than 50,000, which was particularly shocking compared to the general competition with only more than 10,000 people. Especially the endless crowd at a glance, these young men who had never seen the world were excited and nervous.
The outside lineup of the University of Illinois is very strange. It actually arranged three point guards, two 1.91 guys with one 1.83 guys. According to the data, their ball rights are mainly distributed in the hands of the Deron Williams, who looks the highest and strongest, while the 1.83 guys Di Brown is a assaulter, and Lutherhead is a pitcher. The three-man backcourt combination is invincible in previous games and is invincible. No team's backcourt combination can match them.
Stephen originally wanted to defend the strongest Deron Williams. It is said that this guy used to practice wrestling. Before he was twelve, he fell all over the state without any opponents. His father was once a basketball player. Influenced by his father, he became fascinated by basketball. Since he played basketball, he pursued the concept of "team first", so his style of play was very selfless. Passing the ball to the players was his first choice, and his own offense was always at the end.
But you can't ignore his offensive ability because of this. Although his speed is not the fastest, his breakthrough ability is very strong. At the same time, his shooting movements are very stable. Although his three-point shooting percentage is not high, he often shows his skills at critical moments. Although Gabu Pruitt's physical fitness is also very good, he is obviously smaller than others when facing this guy. However, Benjamin told Stephen that his target of defense is Lutherhead.
Since he made up his mind to defend more fiercely, Stephen came up and gave the other party a fierce look. Lutherhead looked up at Stephen for no reason. He had seen those who were defending, but never to defend with his eyes. Do you pretend to glare at me? I will be afraid of you?
Although Lutherhead knows that Stephen's defense is excellent, people who have never felt it will always be a little unbelievable. In addition, what he is best at is running without the ball and shooting when receiving the ball. He is not afraid of close-fits defense, so he doesn't take it seriously.
But as soon as he received the pass from Deron Williams, before he could take action, Stephen flew over viciously and directly knocked him out of the field and landed on his side. The referee came over and gave Stephen a foul. Although Stephen's movements were very clean, it seemed like he wanted to stop his opponent's shooting, you can't knock him out of the field with exaggerated slams.
Since Stephen did not make any excessive moves, and Lutherhead fell into the crowd again, Lutherhead quickly returned to the field and prepared to execute the free throw, but seeing how he kept rubbing his back, he knew that it was not easy.
Perhaps it was affected by the impact. Lutherhead failed to hit the first free throw. In the middle, Deron Williams went over to comfort him. The second free throw finally made a fortune. After Lutherhead received the ball again, Stephen jumped high without waiting for him to take action. Lutherhead no longer dared to force the ball, and hurriedly passed the ball again. At the same time, his body deflected and avoided Stephen's impact. In fact, Stephen did not really want to hit him this time. He couldn't make two fouls at the beginning of the game. How could he play in the subsequent game? But if you want to do this, you are not afraid of me and continue to hit you and see who is uncomfortable. Although theoretically speaking, the strength of this effect and reaction force is average, Stephen is confident that he can knock him out and dare not play on the court, but he has nothing to do.
However, according to Lutherhead's reaction, he didn't dare to try again. It seems that Bill Schalman's theory was successful. As expected, it means that the defense was half successful. Stephen defended the fierce attack. Lutherhead's ability to confront is not very strong. In this way, he immediately became restricted. The three-shot combination of Illinois's backcourt immediately squandered one shot.
Seeing Lutherhead's condition, Deron pulled him aside and kept saying something in his ear. Hyde kept nodding his head. When he met Stephen again, he finally got better. However, Stephen allowed him to find confidence. After he received the ball again, he immediately took a hand to reach the ball in his hand. Lutherhead hesitated for a while and then prepared to take action. Stephen's big hand had reached in front of him. As soon as he raised his hand, Stephen's hand reached over and covered the ball back. The two of them clamped the ball in the air, one in front and one behind. Then Stephen exerted force and immediately pressed Lutherhead from the air.
After Lutherhead fell, he still couldn't resolve the strength coming from a high place. He took a step back and the ball in his hand also let go. Stephen grabbed the ball directly in his hand and threw it out when it landed on the ground. Nick Young and Gab Pruitt immediately shot out like two sharp arrows on the left and right, and then cooperated with each other to send the ball into the basket. The referee originally wanted to blow the whistle and judge the ball, but just put the whistle in his mouth. The ball had left Hyde's hand. Out of the principle of favorable offense, the referee did not blow, allowing the University of Southern California to complete the attack.
The little confidence that Hyde had just recovered was immediately hit by such strong pressure. If he didn't dodge just now, Stephen would hit himself even more, and it felt like he was hit by a hundreds of pound sledge hammer. Hyde didn't want to try again.
