The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 17 The Battle of Vengeance
Arthur Johnson, who is close to 210cm tall and has explosive physical fitness, won the jump ball for the University of Missouri.

On the first offense, the Missouri players were not in a hurry in the face of frenzied boos at Polly Gardens.

The ball rotates on the outside very easily, and everyone is actively running tactics.

In the end, the ball fell to Pauldin, and everyone opened up space.

Although Pauldin was very upset with Chen Mo, his mind was not confused, and he did not bite the bullet and break through.

I saw him beckoning, and power forward Travin mentioned the high position to the pick-and-roll, which is a regular tactic at the University of Missouri.

Seeing Traven bring it up, Chen Mo had already made a move, stepped forward and made way for a small half step.

Paulding then broke through the cover immediately, and Chen Mo immediately bypassed Traven and chased after him.

On the inside, Michael Fei has properly let go of Arthur Johnson, ready to make up the defense.

As expected of a star player in college, he didn't panic at all in the face of the imminent double-team, and directly stopped and shot a jumper.

Chen Mo tried his best to interfere with his wingspan, but unfortunately he was still a step behind.

There is no way, this is also Chen Mo's disadvantage, lack of strength, when going around the pick-and-roll, he can't squeeze through at all, so he can only bypass it.

"Welcome to the NCAA, rookie!"

Chen Mo hesitated a little: "Could it be that I was dunked just now?"

A very simple sentence immediately made Pauldin speechless.

It's just a ball, a mid-range jumper, and someone to help screen.

It took a while for Pauldin to realize that he seemed to have been ridiculed.

"OK, come on, rookie, let me see your skills."

Chen Moluo stopped at the bottom line, and Kapono went around to catch the ball, but he didn't have a good chance to make a move.

And Cedric, who handed over the ball, suddenly appeared and blocked Paulding.

Chen Mo made a quick start and circled from the three-second zone to the top of the arc, while Kapono's pass arrived as scheduled.

This is UCLA's most commonly used routine last season, the first choice of offense is Kapono.

If Kapono doesn't get a shot, the ball goes back to Dijon Thompson and he handles it.

It's just that Dijon Thompson's personal ability is the same, either choose a three-pointer or a breakthrough.

So in the last season, you can always see that Thompson has an occasional explosion, even more dazzling than Kapono, but sometimes his performance is mediocre.

Because of his average performance, Coach Steve is definitely not going to change his tactics. At that time, Cedric needs to attack the inside line.

However, this season, in this key position, Chen Mo replaced Dijon Thompson.

Chen Mo's passing ability is good, and his awareness is better, so he is obviously more suitable for this position.

After receiving the ball, Chen Mo didn't hesitate at all, and immediately chose to make a shot, because Pauldin was blocked by Michael in the paint again.

"brush!"

The three-pointer was hollowed into the net. Paulding was late and could only watch the basketball go into the basket.

3:2
"Old bird, that's it?"

Chen Mo is not a good-tempered person. When he was playing basketball, he also used trash talk and got into fights.

Why not before that?

Hey, it's mainly because other people spray him, and he can't understand it!

Originally a scumbag, my English level is average, I can barely communicate, and I need others to speak slowly and not mix slang.

Now that half a year has passed, at least he has improved a bit. Not only can he communicate normally, but he is no longer a problem with trolling people.

Paulding was stunned for a moment. He was being trash-talked, and the other party was still a rookie.

This can't be tolerated, but it's a pity that looking back, Pauldin has no chance to connect the ball.

Although the University of Missouri will still score, it is a pity that it has nothing to do with Pauldin.

This time it was Travin who scored the ball, and Kapono, who was facing him, was not good at defense.

3:4
Looking back, UCLA is still the same routine, this time Paulding kept up.

It's just that Chen Mo broke through with a cross step after a probing step, attracting the inside defense to score the ball.

Kapono hit a three-pointer and the score came to 6:4.

When playing the fourth position, Kapono can't defend Traven, and Traven can't defend Kapono either.

Pauldin's face turned black, and looking back, he insisted on Chen Mo's request, so Clarence had no choice but to give him the ball.

This time, Pauldin didn't ask for a pick-and-roll, and broke through after a series of fancy dribbles.

It has to be said that American players have been exposed to basketball since childhood, and they have relatively professional training.

In some basic skills, he really has a good ability, even if this kind of breakthrough appears more in street basketball courts.

Regardless of any action, as long as it is useful, it is a pity that Pauldin was obviously in a hurry and missed the shot.

Dijon Thompson grabbed the rebound, Cedric and Chen Mo had already made a fast break, and he also passed the ball immediately.

Cedric rushed inside with the ball and was followed by Clarence without a chance to make a shot.

At the same time, Chen Mo, who was on a fast break, had already reached the free throw line, and Cedric made a behind-the-back pass.

Chen Mo grabbed the ball and leaped high. When Kara Lance saw it, it was too late to hide and fell into the background.

"boom!"

Followed by the waves of cheers from the Polly Garden Arena, and the sound of cheering.

Dijon Thompson was also in good form today, scoring two consecutive strong attacks, and UCLA gradually opened up the score.

The strength of the University of Missouri is not weak, and it has been tenaciously catching up, but it is a pity that it is always so weak.

Several times, Missouri had even brought the score within five points. Chen Mo either made a three-pointer or made a breakthrough to open the score again.

At this time, UCLA fans also discovered that their new core seems to have appeared.

Although Kapono is good, his ability to hold the ball is not good, and his style of play is not the style of core players.

Although Chen Mo's breakthrough ability may not be very strong, but his outside three-pointer threat is too great, and the opponent dare not let him shoot.

The final score was fixed at 79:63, and UCLA completed the battle of revenge with an advantage of 16.

The best performer was naturally Chen Mo. He scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, as well as 1 steal and 1 turnover.

The battle of revenge has always been publicized by the school, and now that they have won the game, everyone is naturally happy.

You know, Missouri was last year's Elite Eight team, but today it was deflated in their hands.

The fans seem to see the hope of the team's rise, the Sweet Sixteen, the Elite Eight, and even the Final Four, even... is not impossible.

"Oh, Chen is really too strong. From today onwards, I am his fan."

"What Hinrich, what Caron May? Chen will teach them how to behave."

"Gosh, Steve is amazing, where did he find Chen, he is the best coach, always has been."

……

"Mark, can you show some face? Who called Steve an idiot just now?"

"That's right, I heard that too, you still said that Chen is a waste!"

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense, be careful I sue you for defamation!"

……

It can be seen that the fans are very happy. In fact, as long as they win, the fans will be satisfied.

Of course, Chen Mo also knew that he was still a long way from conquering this stadium.
