stadium ambition

Chapter 58 Seemingly Casual
At one o'clock in the afternoon on the 29th, the Muqiao High School team arrived at the Staples Center.

There was still an hour before the game started. Su Yang and others went to the locker room under the leadership of the staff. Passing by the exhibition hall, they saw many promotional posters of the Lakers against the Warriors at night, as well as promotional posters of Avril Lavigne's concert, and there were also posters for their match against Oak Hill High School. appear, but the quantity is very small in comparison, like a low-selling product placed in the corner of a supermarket.

After entering the locker room, everyone started to prepare. Su Yang sat on the floor and carefully wrapped his ankles.

Ron complained while taking off his clothes: "The arena thinks we are not worthy of the night show. I don't know how many spectators will come. I really want to feel the super strong sound wave. I hope the organizer will take the opportunity to increase the price and not scare us off." audience."

Taylor answered: "Don't worry! With Kobe helping to promote, at least a thousand people will come to watch the game, not to mention the fans from Oak Hill High School. We will definitely enjoy the boos and cheers of NBA-level games. Just perform at your best."

Guy took the DV and sat across from Su Yang, and pointed the camera at Su Yang with a smile: "Hey, this is Guy's personal YouTube channel, let me interview the protagonist of tonight's competition, who is the most famous high school student in Southern California... "

Su Yang glared at him pretending to be angry, and Guy put away his smile and asked, "You will be facing the No. [-] point guard in the United States, Brandon Jennings, how are you going to defend him, and what can we do to help?" your turn?"

Su Yang blinked and thought for a while: "Based on observation and experience, I will block his mid-range and long-range shots and force him to the basket as much as possible. Taylor and Isaac are responsible for the last delay. As long as we cooperate properly, the restriction can be easily completed. "

"OK!" Guy asked again: "I heard that you have learned Kobe's post-up skills, and Jordan who came to watch the game today is also a post-up master. Who do you think is better in post-up skills, Kobe or Jordan? ?”

Su Yang immediately replied: "I think Kobe's post-up technique is better, and he has more finishing methods, but Jordan's post-up threat is greater. Do you understand what I mean? Even if Jordan doesn't use such delicate techniques, he can reach the same level or better. The good effect is mainly because Jordan has a more powerful explosive power, so the defender often has no time to react."

"I understand, there are differences in physical fitness." Guy nodded, "I also saw from the interview that you claimed to use post-up singles in games, so please evaluate yourself, how much Kobe's post-up technique you have learned so far? Singles technique?"

"Thirty percent." Su Yang said seriously, "The basic theory has been mastered, and more training is needed."

"Okay, the interview is over." Guy put away the DV and excitedly took out the card. "I'm going to give it to the teaching assistant and ask him to help post it on Twitter. This will definitely attract a lot of attention, and I also want to become an Internet celebrity..."

Su Yang shrugged when he heard the words, buried his head and continued to wrap his ankles, while thinking about how to defend efficiently.

Coach David got a few videotapes of the Oak Hill High School game before, but other than confirming that the opponent’s tactical execution was more efficient, he did not research more results. The main reason is that the core players of Oak Hill High School are often changed, such as Durant, Beasley, Lawson and others have played there, but the time is almost a semester, and now it is Jennings' turn to act as the core.

What can be confirmed [-]% right now is that the opponent will definitely focus on pick-and-roll tactics around Jennings. As a player directly facing Jennings, Su Yang must get rid of the cover as quickly as possible to help the inside line gain buffer time.

As for other aspects, we can only take one step at a time.

About 15 minutes later, the whole team was ready, and Su Yang led the team into the stadium.

Oak Hill High School has already started warming up. Jennings and other players are doing shooting practice a little casually, while their head coach Steve Smith is supervising by the side. His expression looks calm and calm, and he doesn't regard this game as a big event at all.

"Maybe this is the American high school version of Sanno Industry." Su Yang felt emotionally. Oak Hill High School had been undefeated for three seasons. So far, no season has lost more than three games. The total number of wins is proud of the United States.

Mu Qiao High School also started warming up. The arena opened up in no time, and spectators came in one after another. When the game started with 10 minutes left, at least two-thirds of the more than 9000 seats were not filled, which seemed very empty. swing.

Ron was a little disappointed about this: "The average ticket price of 03 dollars is still too expensive. Compared with LeBron's high school, the price of [-] dollars in their school was often sold out. Our influence is still too far away. [-] years..."

"Okay, after all, we are also treated as a live broadcast in the United States, and the place will be much larger." Gay comforted him, and turned to look at Su Yang: "We can attract more audiences with wonderful performances, especially TV audiences, don't you think so? "

Su Yang nodded: "As long as the performance is good enough, it may even attract more viewers to watch."

Everyone chatted for a while, the pre-match ceremony was held ahead of schedule, the cheerleaders on both sides performed for 3 minutes, and then started to introduce the starting players of both sides to enter the field. .

There was no national anthem performance. After the two teams shook hands, they were ready to play.

Before the referee blew his whistle, Su Yang looked up at the big screen in the center of the court. The basic information of Oak Hill High School players was scrolling on it. At the same time, compared with Mu Qiao High School players, the main content was height, weight, age, and technical characteristics.

Point guard Su Yang is very close to Jennings in height, the former is heavier and the latter has a longer wingspan.

Shooting guard Ron faced Nolan Smith. The latter had an advantage in height, was younger, and had the aura of a superstar.

Small forward Brownie vs. Dawson, power forward Harley vs. Edward, there is no obvious difference between the two groups of players.

Center Taylor is facing Jayden. The two are close in height, but Jayden is a super strong man with broad shoulders and a big waist.

"With Jayden's body, it will definitely be quite uncomfortable for me to squeeze the screen..." Su Yang felt a little flustered, and hurried to Taylor: "When the opposite center comes up to cover later, remember to remind me in advance."

Taylor nodded to express his understanding, and Su Yang explained the details again. Before he talked too much, the referee blew his whistle and asked to enter the field.

The starting players of the two teams stood around the middle circle one after another, and the live DJ played BGM to warm up.

Amidst the cheers, Taylor and Jayden jumped up, and the basketball flew towards Mu Qiao High School under the touch of the two.

Su Yang trotted to receive the basketball, and slowly moved forward, and gradually found that the four members of Oak Hill High School, except Jennings, ran to the four corners of the paint area with a clear goal as if they had been prepared, completely blocked Dead layup space.

"How to do this?" Su Yang's mind turned rapidly, and he decided to use the V-shaped tactic first, and immediately waved his hand.

Taylor hurriedly mentioned the 45° three-point line on the right, set up a wall to block Jennings, Su Yang took the opportunity to dribble the ball to the top of the arc, but Jayden did not follow out to delay, but Nolan, who was originally defending Ron, He ran out and teamed up with Jennings who was chasing behind him.

Hurrying to pass the ball is easy to make mistakes, Su Yang pulls the ball back to create space, Nolan dodges back to defend Ron.

It was useless to pass the ball in this situation, Su Yang beckoned again, using Taylor to cover and run to the right wing.

I thought, Jaden still didn't follow, but Dawson, who was in charge of defending Brownie, came up decisively to attack.

"Grass!" Su Yang reacted. Oak Hill High School seemed to be careless during the warm-up, but now it uses the extreme defensive tactics of BOX-ONE. He is determined not to let himself find scoring opportunities too quickly. It is best to give all the balls to his teammates. beat.
