I really play basketball

Chapter 30
How did Memphis beat Tennessee?
Soon, the game started, and the answer was——

At the beginning, Penny made a few breakthroughs with a strong sense of rhythm and scored consecutively.

Soon, just like Lin Xing's last game, the opponent adjusted his defense and began to target Penny.

For this target, Penny became a little misfired.

He was unable to break through, and could only float a few soft mid-range shots or three-pointers from the outside, and his shooting percentage was not high.

As for those spiritual passes, after losing David Vaughn, the number one teammate, the only teammates who can receive penny passes and score steadily are shooting guard Billy Smith and short center Anthony Douglas.

But for these two teammates, Billy Smith's shooting is very unstable, and he is a bit like JR Smith in the NBA.

Anthony Douglas can only eat cakes under the basket. He is only 2 meters tall, and he is naturally deflated when encountering tall insiders.

Coincidentally, the University of Tennessee has a seven-foot main center.

Against Alan Houston's Billy Smith, a large part of the energy was involved on the defensive end, and the offensive end was naturally misfired.

Penny couldn't pass the ball, and there was no threat to the breakthrough. On the offensive end, he could only float around and make various shots.

But the problem is that Penny's shooting is only [-] million points better than Lin Xing's. He can make a shot, but his shooting percentage is very average.

Counting on his shooting to kill the game is out of the question.

On the contrary, the University of Tennessee, after a bad start, they quickly organized a counterattack relying on defense.

The zone defense stopped Penny from killing the game, and then, Alan Houston exploded.

The CIC king is not only accurate in CIC, but also three-pointers are his forte.

Billy Smith's defense against him was not successful at the beginning, and he became unstoppable once Alan Houston completely opened his hands.

In this way, to everyone's surprise, the University of Tennessee at home actually defeated the University of Memphis.

"Wow, the University of Memphis actually lost to the University of Tennessee, which is a big upset!"

In the training hall of the Long Beach branch, not only Lin Xing was watching the game, but his teammates were also watching.

Who makes the University of Tennessee their opponent in the next game?
Of course, part of the reason was that they knew that Lin Xing had been fighting against Penny all this time.

Everyone also wanted to see how strong this penny was, to dare to fight the tyrant.

result……

"This Anfernee Hardaway, it's just that. He can't move once the opponent is double-teamed. If it's Star University, just this double-team, and it won't break in a minute?"

"You are not talking nonsense, if it is Si Da, two people flanking the big open, three people flanking is a good opportunity!"

"It's really not the same level. I don't know if this group of brickmen are short-sighted. Who is not good at blowing pennies..."

The teammates flattered each other, Lin Xing smiled until...

"Look at this pass again, what kind of spirituality are you talking about? It's not the same as Sida's pass. It's nothing special..."

Byron Russell's voice was always loud, but as he spoke, he found that the eyes of his teammates were wrong, and Lin Xing's smile gradually disappeared.

He realized that he had said something wrong, and his voice became smaller and smaller...

Lin Xing also ignored him, because he knew that Russell was telling the truth, and his passing was indeed mediocre.

So what if it's mediocre?Penny, who is full of spirituality, can't pass any good shots?

What is the use of such an elegant and gaudy game?

"Wait, a week later, I will show Penny what hard power is!"

……

The week passed, and Long Beach continued to play at home.

This game against the University of Tennessee, in the past, is definitely not a hot game.

But now, everything is different.

"Welcome to NBC Sports. The game we bring to you today is California State University Long Beach vs. University of Tennessee..."

"The core of the two teams is Stalin and Anferni... Uh, sorry, I made a mistake, it's Alan Houston!"

Just as Houston can hear Stephen Smith's commentary, he will definitely spread his hands: Nima, can you show some respect?
For this game, NBC Sports also invited a guest.

It's not John Bayless anymore, but Lin Xing's firm black-Henry Abbott.

In fact, Stephen Smith was happy the moment he saw Henry Abbott.

After all, the distribution of responsibilities between him and Tony Gay has not changed. Tony Gay controls the field, so he has to lead the rhythm.

In the last game, when he met the determined Lin Xingchuan John Bayless, he had to stand on the opposite side of Bayless.

This time, when he meets Henry Abbott, he can stand on the opposite side of Henry Abbott.

"Welcome to our guest commentator tonight, Henry Abbott..."

Stephen Smith followed Tony Guy and clapped his hands twice, and he couldn't wait to get to the point——

"Henry, it's like this. We noticed that in the dispute between Stalin and Penny, you were the expert who reacted most violently and looked down on Stalin the most. Can you tell me why?"

He posed this very direct question, and Henry Abbott adjusted his microphone, and immediately began his eloquent speech:

"It's very simple. Penny is penny, and Stalin is Stalin. They shouldn't be connected together. Even if they are connected, Stalin is far inferior to Penny. Penny's achievements don't need to be repeated too much. What about Stalin? He is far behind..."

Stephen Smith frowned. To be honest, he just asked this question. He never expected that Henry Abbott would say so much nonsense, which was in stark contrast to John Bayless.

In the last game, Stephen Smith also felt that John Bayless was too perfunctory.

In this game, he kind of wants to go back to the last game.

"Well, Henry, I probably understand what you mean, so, do you think Stalin is far inferior to Penny?"

"That's right!"

"Then let's go back to this game, the University of Tennessee, they just defeated the University of Memphis where Pence is. Where do you think the University of Memphis lost?"

"The loss was due to his teammates. Pence lacked a teammate who could help him open up the situation. After David Vaughn was reimbursed for the season, this was infinitely magnified."

"Isn't the University of Tennessee too strong?"

"There is also this part of the reason. Alan Houston is not an ordinary person. He is at least the top five shooting guards in the NCAA."

"So, do you think Long Beach can win this game?"

"Win? Don't even think about it!"

Henry Abbott shook his head, and on the other side, Stephen Smith's eyes looked a bit like looking at a fool.

Who is Henry Abbott if he is not a fool to blow up the University of Tennessee into a strong team for the Black Forest Star?

"What if they win?"

"No ifs!"

Damn, it's so hard to communicate with fools!
Stephen Smith complained frantically in his heart, but on the surface he still asked seriously:

"I'm just saying if, Henry, it's just a hypothetical, hypothetical, Long Beach beat Tennessee..."

"It can only be said that Stalin's teammates are strong enough."

"Okay, then let's see whether Stalin is stronger in this game, or Stalin's teammates are more powerful."

"No, the University of Tennessee must be more powerful!"

"..."

Stephen Smith had a black line on his face, he had never seen such a difficult guest.

……

The game was about to start, and a grand opening ceremony was staged at the Pyramid Stadium.

The live DJ is still the same as the first game of the season-

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Pyramid Stadium, home of the Cal State University Long Beach 49ers!"

"First, Lucios, a [-]-foot-[-] shooting guard from Cleveland High School in Los Angeles! Harris!"

"Second by the starting center, Chris Tavor, a six-foot-ten guy from CA High School in New Mexico!"

"And then there's the starting guard, Rod Hannibal, a six-foot-five guy from Ridley High School in California!"

"Then starting forward, Byron, [-]-foot-[-], from San Bertino High School in California! Russell!"

The cheers became louder and louder, and Lin Xing was the last to appear——

"Finally, let's welcome Star! Lin, a [-]-foot-[-] point guard from Crossroads High School in Los Angeles!"

Different from the first game of the season, the DJ roared out the name "Stalin", and the cheers of the audience were overwhelming, sweeping the entire Pyramid Stadium.

In just three games, the Tyrant completely conquered the Long Beach branch and conquered the Pyramid Stadium.

The starters at Long Beach were as usual, Tennessee:
Their main controller is Ron Wiseman, a tall combo guard with a height of 1 meters. His style is biased towards defense and three-pointers. He is not good at organizing offense. He is a bit like Patrick Beverly in the future NBA.

The shooting guard is Alan Houston, the top scorer, the top star, and his father is also the head coach of the University of Tennessee.

At small forward is Corey Allen, Tennessee's second-leading scorer and leading rebounder.

The power forward is Kevin Witted, a meat shield insider.

The center is Steve Hammer, a 7-foot big center with ample size, which looks very bluffing.

When the game started, Hamer used practical actions to tell those who thought he was bluffing that his big man was not for nothing!

With the jump ball, the big man Hamer defeated Tavor without any suspense.

The University of Tennessee's first wave of offense was also the big Hammer, who stood at the top of the arc with a huge body and set a screen for Houston.

Relying on this extremely high-quality screen, Houston shook off Hannibal, and raised his hand to score a long two points.

Swish-!
As soon as the crisp netting sound sounded, Henry Abbott said: "It's started, Alan Houston scored a long two-pointer in the opening game, very precise!"

"He entered the state very quickly in this game, much faster than the last game, maybe the opponent is weaker, which makes him more relaxed?"

Stephen Smith shook his head, it wasn't me who started the last game for comparison, don't deny it later.

After watching the Long Beach tee off, Stephen Smith can't wait to see Lin Xing's solo performance.
