Chapter 24 Just go up and make soy sauce, right?
The basketball team of the University of Florida is called "Alligators". Although the grades are not good, the sports atmosphere of the University of Florida is very good, and the students also support their team very much.

Although the performance is not as good as that of the rugby team, every home game, the arena that can accommodate 1 people is basically full of seats.

Today is no exception. There is still more than an hour before the game in the evening, and the arena is basically full.

An hour earlier, the players of the Alligator team started to do warm-up exercises on the court. This was their first game of the season. Because there were a few more talented rookies and star players like Baker, the veterans led by Nasr hoped that the team could achieve better results this year.

So they are very focused on the first game, a good start, which is also applicable in the United States.

The game is about to start. Coach Mark called the players together and began to announce the starting lineup for tonight.

"Kevin, Nasr, Baker, Carol, and Mike, the five of you go first. Just play as we usually train, and don't feel pressured."

Several players who were named nodded.

"Hey! I don't want to play. Isn't it good to be a handsome man quietly on the bench?" Davis felt as if he was rushing to the shelves.

"By the way, Mike, if you can open up space from the outside line, others will pass the ball when they see that Mike is open." Coach Mark still couldn't help it, and gave instructions to other players.

The other players were a little strange, but they still nodded.

Baker even patted Davis on the shoulder, and said carelessly: "Mike, don't worry, as long as you have a space, I will definitely pass the ball over."

The University of St. Joseph is not a strong team, it's just that they meet several times a year in one division.

It stands to reason that even if Davis doesn't play well, with the current strength of the Gator team, it will be easy to win the University of St. Joseph.

However, after the St. Joseph University players entered the field, everyone's eyes were attracted by the St. Joseph University center.

"so high!"

"Is he two meters one?"

"But he's so skinny."

"Yeah, it's like a bamboo pole."

The audience on the sidelines whispered.

"The University of St. Joseph recruited a big center this year. He is 211cm tall and weighs 100kg. I heard that he has a very strong defensive ability."

Mark's assistant coach hurried over and reported the incident to Mark.

Mark has some headaches, because the Crocodile team's current style of play is mainly breakthroughs. There are two players with strong breakthrough capabilities, Baker and Nasr. In addition, Carroll and Kevin both have certain outside shooting capabilities, so breakthrough points are the main tactics.

Watching Davis silently shooting and warming up on the court, Mark suddenly had hope.

"If it doesn't go well, it's up to you."

Sure enough, after the start of the game, the University of St. Joseph’s center showed a strong ability to protect the frame. Baker and Nasr’s attacks were repeatedly blocked by him again and again, and he was unstoppable on the offensive end. As long as he raised his hand high, his teammates could send the ball to him very comfortably, because the tallest on the Gator team is Kevin, 200cm.

He catches the ball, throws his hands high, and puts the ball in the hoop with a little jump.

The first quarter of the game completely became the center's personal performance.

If it weren't for someone with a very weak sense of presence, who silently made 3 of 3 three-pointers, the Gators might have been beaten in halftime.

At the end of halftime, the Alligators trailed the University of Saint Joseph by 34 points 44-10 at home.

The high center scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks in half the game.

Here, the Alligator's highest scorer turned out to be Davis, whom no one noticed. He made 4 of 4 in the half, 3 of 3 in 3 minutes, and scored 11 points.There are 6 rebounds accounted for.

Mark looked at the score, but his heart didn't fluctuate too much, because he knew that Davis had been playing soy sauce in the first half.

"Well, my stats are just right. They won't be too prominent, and they won't be useless. But in this game, if you want to win, that doesn't seem to be enough." Davis looked at the scoreboard, feeling a little worried.

"DeWeese, you should take more shots in the second half." Mark said suddenly.

Davis was taken aback, isn't it, coach, do you have mind reading skills?
No way, Davis nodded. Everyone has called the roll, so you are embarrassed to continue playing dead, right?

In the second half, the two teams continued to go into battle. Although the tall center continued to call the shots inside, the players of St. Joseph University were surprised to find that the score gap was constantly narrowing.

10 points, 12 points, 9 points, 11 points, 8 points, 10 points, 7 points.

The score gap is slowly shrinking at such a weird speed.

The St. Joseph University players frantically searched for the reason, and finally, their power forward said weakly, "Maybe it's because of the kid I'm playing against. His three-pointers are so accurate."

Taking advantage of the timeout, the University of St. Joseph players went to the technical table to look at the technical statistics. They were surprised to find that the power forward wearing the No. 1 jersey had already scored 23 points, and scored four consecutive three-pointers in the second half.

What is even more surprising is that this person has taken 8 shots so far, 7 of which are three-pointers!
"Take No. 1 on the opposite side! Don't let him shoot three-pointers anymore, we are only leading by 4 points now!" The coach of St. Joseph's University was spitting and arranging tactics on the sidelines.

"Let them attack! We have George on the inside. Although we let them attack, there is no longer room for No. 1 to shoot. He can kill us by himself!"

At this time, on the other side, Davis looked at his technical statistics and couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Originally, it's right to make soy sauce, but it seems that they have moved all the soy sauce shops here."

"Very good, you did a great job, especially Mike, did you become possessed by Reggie Miller today?" Mark praised Davis loudly, "You must lick the boss comfortably." Mark thought without bottom line.

"Wow, Mike, did you take your medicine for three-pointers today? You made 7 of 7 shots?" Baker did not perform well today and was capped several times by the opposite center named George. Now he made 11 of 3 shots and scored 8 points. Nasr also scored 8 points.

"I think they will stick to me later, coach, can I pull to the top of the arc to hit the frame?" Davis thought for a while, and made such a request to Mark.

"Of course, Carroll, if Mike wants to play singles with the ball, you can give him the ball after halftime!" Mark didn't even think about it, and directly gave the task to Carroll, the tool man.

Carol was crying in the bathroom.

but. . . .Seems like it was too early for Carol to cry. .

after all. . .Davis' real position is point guard.
