The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 68 Before the Game
In the quiet and dull corner of the library of St. Joseph's School, two girls were whispering.

"I heard that Kelly and Martin will not be able to appear in Thursday's game? Continue to be spectators. Is this true?"

"Indeed! That's how the school basketball team decided."

"Why? Is this crazy? This is such an important moment, we should keep the strongest squad and give it our all."

"Who knows! It is said that the two of them had a conflict, that's it."

"Unforgivable! But I still think Mr. Mattelly made a wrong decision."

"It's nothing to worry about. I believe in Kyle. He's the best basketball player I've ever seen. He's so handsome! I think he can lead the team to win, and he can do it."

"It's a fact. In the first game he came back, he proved that St. Joseph is still extremely powerful. But does it have anything to do with Kelly and Martin playing?"

"You're always stuck on these nonsense, Kyle can solve the fight. We can make a bet, Kyle can score more than [-] points, the team can win more than [-], how about it? The bet is your Roberts signed album."

"Stop making trouble! Everyone knows this, we can win, Kyle is omnipotent, this is not exciting at all."

"So what do you think?"

"Ask Kyle for a hug and a photo, that's what I want."

"It's impossible! We can't get into the training hall."

"Of course I know. Go out for a morning run before six o'clock in the morning. If you are lucky, I think you can see him. Everyone says so."

"Okay! How many points do you think Kyle can score?"

"I say [-] points, you say [-] points, whoever estimates the score is similar will win."

"Okay! Then wait for Thursday and we'll see what happens."

"Extremely looking forward to it."

These scenes spread all over the campus, for example, in the cafeteria, there was a lot of voices, and several people were discussing the Yale team, how much they won, how Kyle and others played, and the suspension of Martin and Kelly. , to meet the key battle on Thursday.

"Hi! Elena, what have you been up to lately?" A handsome white guy was eagerly helping a beautiful woman to post a bulletin board.

"Thank you! Don't do anything, just calm down and think about continuing to study! Or study while working! It's hard to choose now."

"Is it really that difficult to choose?"

"Yes!"

"Okay! How's your dissertation going?"

"Still in the making."

"You are always living in depression. Many things need to be relaxed or stimulated so that you can find inspiration. Thursday's basketball team game is a good choice. I have already bought two tickets. How about it?"

"I'm sorry! I have other things to do, I have to go home." Irina was stunned, her expression was in a trance, a little unnatural.

"Elena! What should I say! Your eyes are full of rejection and defense, everything is unacceptable."

"Have it?"

"Yes! You weren't like that before. You've become very melancholy lately, and that's worrying."

"Even I can't believe it myself, I really became what you said?"

"uh-huh!"

"Okay! I accept your invitation." See what happened to that guy?The second half of the sentence was added by Elena herself.

In the training hall, everyone was sweating profusely, and striving to improve was their theme. Kelly Martin was no longer fooling around, and wasted his energy on the equipment.

Mattelly and his teaching assistants occasionally wrote and drew, and occasionally discussed in a low voice, with focused and calm expressions.

The same thing is happening at another campus, the University of South Florida.

On Thursday, St. Joseph Arena, people entered the arena early and waited. There was no noise, no laughter, no play, and they basically kept their faces solemn.As the owners of this arena, they need to shout for their heroes. They are accumulating energy now, and then release all their energy in the game, and spread it to the St. Joseph players playing on the court, tell them!Everyone in St. Joseph will always be behind them and support them.

The foundation for a team to form a culture is the need for a large number of diehards. What are diehards?It is to regard a team as a belief or belief, a player as an idol, and a game as spiritual food. Winning or losing is not the ultimate goal, but the purpose is to vent your emotions and integrate everything into your life. One person is a diehard for this team.

College basketball has a natural die-hard fans. In addition, it also needs deep precipitation, that is, historical honors, iconic figures, coupled with good records, and a sense of belonging to form an infection. Then a little publicity is needed, which means With its own basketball culture.

St. Joseph has never had such conditions. It’s not that they don’t have fans. On the contrary, everyone in St. Joseph’s expectations for basketball far exceed other sports. They have waited too long for this team to complete its transformation!Wait until they've all forgotten about the sport.

Their requirements are not high, and the championship can satisfy everyone, and this year their chance has come!The championship is close at hand, as long as they make a historic breakthrough, whether Kyle enters the NBA or continues to study, there will be a qualitative change, and everything will be different!They're going to have a great alumni, basketball!They will form a basketball atmosphere, and the team will have greater competitiveness when recruiting new students next year. The most important thing is that they can put their emotions on the Yale team, and the team will engrave glory in St. Joseph.

This means that today's game is of far-reaching significance, good luck, entering the top six, reaching the top four before the end of the regular season, the championship is no longer a dream!Chances are it will come true.Because they have Kyle!Kyle Lowry!Best player in the Big East.

The coach is doing the final mobilization, mainly because Hu Ge, the coach of the University of South Florida, is repeatedly exhorting the elements of defending Kyle, as well as the issue of execution, reiterating the importance of this game.

Mattelli didn't say anything, he had made it very clear in the locker room that their tactics were relatively simple, but difficult to crack.On the offensive end, Kyle controls the ball, Smith is the axis, and the other three revolve around them, running without the ball, cutting without the ball, blocking people, and stretching the space. This is the first set.The second set is that Kyle and Smith play pick and roll, and the others intersperse.In the third set, everyone pulls apart and Kyle singles out.There is another set of exceptions, which is defensive counterattack.The core focus of everything is to run.

The defensive end is man-to-man, which is a matter of personal ability and defensive skills.Co-defense and complementary defense rely on tacit understanding and cooperation!

In this game, to be honest, all members of the Yale team have absolute confidence, including Mattelly. The source of confidence is that Kyle is back!
