Chapter 7 The Dark Side

The original main point guard of the Trojans was Mugakin Barkley of the Blues, a senior black point guard, with a thin figure, fast speed and good athletic ability, but the basketball IQ is very flawed and the team is weak. He is not a qualified organizer. Considering that he is already a senior, he is destined to be unable to enter the NBA.

However, players like Mugakin usually have strong personal abilities. Wu Huang is three years younger than the opponent in age, and his physical ability and skills are at a disadvantage.

The Red Team competed for the jump ball, and Wu Huang's first team training began in his college career.

After receiving the ball, Wu Huang moved slowly to the frontcourt. As soon as he crossed the center line, Mugajin took a step forward to press. This kid obviously did not intend to hand over his starting position.

This is the first time that Wu Huang has faced a college player. He is already very cautious, but he still didn't expect that after the physical confrontation, Mugajin copied the basketball in his hand like lightning, and shouted "Not good" in his heart!

Mugajin's ball-copying action was very fast. In the past, Wu Huang would probably be intercepted. However, the improved ball sense last night helped him. Just as the basketball was about to be taken away, Wu Huang's body instinctively stopped urgently. Mugajin rushed forward due to inertia, and Wu Huang slapped the basketball behind him. A sharp stop with a strong sense of rhythm changed direction and changed hands behind him, which made the opponent lose. Then he accelerated and passed the opponent lightly.

"Beautiful life!" Floyd couldn't help but clap his hands and praise him on the sidelines. The timing of Wu Huang dribbling behind his back this time was just right, obviously a response based on the opponent's steal, not a deliberate performance of his ball skills.

Floyd has been a coach for so many years, and often the player's background can be seen with just one move. Wu Huang's extraordinary talent just now can be said to be more than most NCAA players.

In college, there are many so-called genius players who practice their skills fancy, but not to break through their opponents, but to deliberately show off all kinds of fancy extraordinary moves, largely for the sake of good looks and practicality. These people are not qualified to enter the NBA at all.

As a representative of "street ball", Alstom entered the NBA arena. When it comes to dribbling, who dares to say that he is better than him? However, this street ball king who can travel through his soul did not show much difference in the NBA. The impression left is that he generally does not lose the ball and is rarely intercepted.

But just these seemingly ordinary two impressions, how many people in the NBA can do it?

"Who dares to say that his ball sense is not good with such a sense of rhythm and such coordination?" Floyd saw Wu Huang's extraordinary movement this time, and felt that the Chinese-born ball sense should not be considered bad.

Mu Jinjia's reckless steal this time caused him to lose his defensive position. Emperor Wu accelerated and broke through him and rushed straight into the heart of the blue team.

Tay Gibson reacted quickly. His height was not a defect in the NCAA and his explosive power was extremely strong. He immediately took a step forward and helped Wu Huang block the assisting defense in the inside. This time the blocking was just right. Wu Huang was already a smooth road in front of him. He only needed to face the center of the Blue Team one-on-one.

Floyd saw a classic small game on the sidelines. Wu Huang rushed to the basket and raised his hand to make a layup, which caused the Blue Team center to jump and block the block. He immediately passed the basketball to his teammate who was slid, who easily scored in the empty basket.

"Okay, the breakthrough ability is good. What's rare is that you can pass the ball after the breakthrough. The vision and overall view are indeed excellent."

Floyd made such an evaluation in his heart, but he didn't know that the reason why Wu Huang passed the ball was mainly because his finishing ability was insufficient. His attack area was on the outside, and his ability to break through layups was not even considered a normal one. If he didn't pass the ball just now, he might be blocked by someone.

"I should choose to jump shot by emergency stop. I am not sure if I break in. I can't get ahead of this game." Emperor Wu went forward and clenched Gibson, reminding himself in his heart. The wonderful past just now made his head a little hot. In the past, he rarely made such a beautiful past. In fact, he should jump shot when he broke through to the free throw line. This is his skill.

"Wu, that ball was passed beautifully."

Nathan Bozi, who had just scored a goal, also came up to slap Wu Huang. He was originally the team's main shooting guard, but now that DeRozan has come, his starting position will naturally be guaranteed. But he still wants to make a try, so being able to perform better in the training game is his only way to win the main force.

"Thank you, the captain's blocker was in time just now." Emperor Wu's words were not completely flattering. Gibson's previous block was indeed crucial, making the opponent's assisting defense unable to get up. The center of the Blue Team did not expect that Emperor Wu would break into the basket so easily and had a bad position. If his finishing ability was better, he would probably be two plus one just now.

With Wu Huang's performance, DeRozan naturally could not show weakness. He reached out to ask for the ball just after passing the midfield, but Mugakin did not pass the ball. Wu Huang just easily passed him, and the original starting point guard of the Trojans also wanted to prove himself that he wanted to get back the face he had just lost on the offensive end.

Mugakin's breakthrough skills are very good, and his ball control ability is much better than Wu Huang. He bent over and dribbled continuously, and his movements are coherent and fast. Ordinary players have long been dazzled by him.

Wu Huang's single defense ability can barely be considered B+ in high school, but now in the NCAA, he may not even be able to achieve B-single defense level. However, Wu Huang's defense is not useless. Although his defensive skills are average, he has an advantage - he does not take fake moves. His best skills are joint defense and he is very good at using the help of his teammates to defend. He is precisely a nemesis of point guards like Mugajin who can only break through.

Emperor Wu took a big step forward, and he was too lazy to pay attention to Mugajin's fake moves, so he exposed the right side to give Mugajin a breakthrough.

"I may not be able to defend you, but I can control your breakthrough direction and lure you to make the offensive choice I hope. If you don't believe it, you can still fly into the sky." This is the defensive method that Emperor Wu has always been, and he is very smart. He always believes: "It doesn't matter if he can't defend. No one can defend every attack of his opponent, but you must not lose points because of mistakes. You are so awesome and you will face me head-on."

Mugajin's shooting ability is average, and Wu Huang's arm span is extremely long. He stretched forward with one hand, and he could even block his eyes with a big step. Thinking of the Chinese bounce, Mugajin was not sure to shoot forcibly. The best way was to break through. Moreover, this guy's position seemed to be bad, and there was a chance to break through on the left.

When Emperor Wu saw the little black ghost in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. He was prepared and immediately moved two steps horizontally and firmly attached to the opponent. The best breakthrough route was tied to the master by Emperor Wu, and Mugajin could only forcefully break through from the outside and finally only led by half a position, but such an advantage may be blocked by the opponent's wingspan.

Gibson was the first to rush up again. He saw Emperor Wu standing slightly to the left before, guessing that Mugajin would definitely break through here, and immediately cooperated with Emperor Wu to assist in defense.

Emperor Wu secretly sighed in his heart that if his high school team had a teammate of Gibson's level, he would have won the championship in his third year of high school.

Mugakin was forced to stop outside the penalty area by Gibson. The two of them were tied up, and his steps were immediately messed up. As soon as he moved, he immediately walked and could only fall to the ground to pass the basketball.

Wu Huang's arms are indeed perverted. He is 188cm tall, has an arm span of 206cm, and his palms are also very large. It looks similar to Rondo of the Celtics, but he is taller than Rondo and has a great advantage in playing No. 1 position.

Mugajin's pass in a hurry was touched by Wu Huang's big hand, and the basketball did not bounce far. Wu Huang relied on his amazing explosive power to step forward and grab the second landing point. The Red Team immediately launched a counterattack.

Most of the players of the Trojans are black, and their characteristics are that they have good running and jumping skills. His backcourt teammates are very fast, and they follow the second and third positions, one on the left and one on the right. The three of them form an arrow, instantly breaking the Blue Team's defense line.

When Wu Huang arrived at the frontcourt, he made an air relay, and Nathan Bozi received the basketball again, and made a double-handed dunk!

This ball reflects Wu Huang's blackness. He could have passed it to Edmund Tamar in the third position, and the opponent's follow-up position is better. However, Edmund was originally the team's substitute No. 3, while Nathan was the original main position. Now he is about to be snatched away by DeRozan.

If Wu Huang can make Nathan play better than DeRozan in the training game, then wouldn’t it prove that his point guard’s strength improvement against the team is much greater than that of DeRozan? Isn’t it equivalent to indirectly trampling DeRozan and the former main point guard Mugakin?

"I seem to be quite vulgar, but I should think so. Which one in this world can succeed without any intention? Besides, I rely on my own ability. There is never one successful person. Who else can there be except me?" Wu Huang got his second assist, shook hands hard, and was in a good mood. He calmly accepted his dark side.

After experiencing a strange dream for the third time, Emperor Wu's personality became more and more complicated. I don't know if this is a manifestation of growing up and maturity. Sometimes he feels that there are several faces deep in his heart, especially after the second dream, even he occasionally has some doubts about himself, such as questions like "Is I schizokinesia?"

"Good job!" Gibson and Wu Huang returned to defense together, encouraging his new teammates again.

DeRozan looked at Emperor Wu and was very anxious. The opponent made wonderful assists twice in a row. For a point guard, such performance could not be better. But he, the shooting guard, has not yet encountered basketball and has not scored yet. How can this keep him from rushing?

Mugakin wants to attack again, but he also knows that what Floyd wants to see today is DeRozan and Wu Huang. The head coach must be very dissatisfied with him now, and it will not help but not even be able to get the substitute point guard in the future. For the Blue Team's third attack, DeRozan finally got the basketball.

"It's too difficult!" DeRozan burst into tears. He never noticed that this little thing turned out to be so cute.

"Wu, look at me, I won't lose to you." DeRozan was actually very simple, and he didn't have as many dark thoughts as Emperor Wu. He was just secretly cheering himself up in his heart. This time he must have a dunk that shocked everyone to show his abilities.

Emperor Wu's mind moved, and now he was so dark-hearted that he had some guesses about DeRozan's thoughts.

Well, this kid's eyes are so bright that he will definitely not pass the ball when he sees his urine. You can try to double-team it, which is likely to cause DeRozan's mistake, and at the worst it will make him unable to score the ball.

"No...I can't do this. After all, I'm a teammate. I've done enough now. Doing too much will affect the team's progress."

Emperor Wu is still not bad by nature, and suddenly hesitated a little. He was worried that he would lose DeRozan's face and would be difficult to deal with in the future. After all, he is a teammate of a team.

"Idiot! I have the chance to stomp on my competitors to death, so why do I have to show mercy? I don't think about whether I will also give me a try when others gain power in the future?"

It seemed that there were two voices in Emperor Wu’s heart fighting between heaven and man, and in the end the dark side had the upper hand. I wonder who once said, “I would rather teach me to let the world down than let the world down.” This is a very reasonable thing.

DeRozan's breakthrough is A+ in the NCAA, and he has passed Nathan Bozi effortlessly. His personal abilities are indeed outstanding.

Emperor Wu saw the opportunity on the defensive end and left Mugakin to attack DeRozan with a front and back attack.

Gibson also made up the defense, and he also saw Emperor Wu rushing from behind DeRozan. He just stood at his position and prepared to cooperate with Emperor Wu to defend.

"The defensive awareness is so good?" DeRozan was the first time he had fought with a college player. He was used to being abused. When he saw Gibson, he didn't even look panicked. He stretched out his arms and stood straight under the basket. Such defense was much more threatening than those jumping men who flew up at any time. He rarely encountered such opponents in high school games.

It was a long time to say that, and all the players on the court made decisions in the flash. DeRozan's breakthrough actually reached the penalty area in the blink of an eye, and the Red Team's defense was also in place at the same time.

Fans often see players making wrong choices on the court because they stand in the perspective of God. The players on the court do not have such a good vision. All their judgments are based on previous experience in the game and their own consciousness.

"Consciousness" is so important. From e-sports games to national wars, the competition at the consciousness level determines the final victory to a large extent.

Gibson interfered at the basket, DeRozan took off and used his active advantage and physical talent to dodge the block in the air and then shot the basketball.

DeRozan believes that he has made the goal, unless someone is behind him, but how is this possible?

Isn’t Wu Huang’s long arm right behind him? He was waiting for this moment.

After DeRozan threw the basketball out, she hadn't figured out what was going on. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw something black flashing, and then a pain in her head. With a "bang", it turned out that the basketball hit the top of his head.
