Chapter 25 Chinese mascot?
The old coach K's pressure on the referee still had a certain effect. In the next round, Hayward and An Sheng each received a foul.

After being punished by the referee for this foul, An Sheng raised his hand in frustration. This was his second foul in this game, and he knew that the coach would give him a break soon to protect him.

Sure enough, after Duke's attack succeeded this time, Anson was replaced.Stevens and An Sheng clapped their hands and patted his head: "Good job, Ann, don't worry, the next game depends on you!"

This sentence is almost like a flag, saying that it will depend on Anson later, the situation of the game is really like Duke's crazily falling down, losing Anson's defense, Nolan Smith is like unlocking the seal All of a sudden, he was like a fish in water, assisting his teammates to score one after another.

Stevens raged on the sidelines and yelled at Ronald Norrid: "Are you a wooden man? I don't need you to show your demeanor and friendship on the court. I don't let you play to make friends. This is the battlefield!"

After being yelled at by Stevens, Ronald Norrid's defense on the field also increased his aggressiveness, but what followed was that he was called two fouls in a row.

The Bulldogs fans were very dissatisfied with the referee's penalties, and there was a lot of boos at the scene.They felt that this was the referee's surrender to the basketball giants, and they didn't want them to win. At this time, the Bulldogs had been stretched to 10 points, and Anson's importance to the Bulldogs was once again demonstrated.

"China Ann! The Bulldogs need Ann!" Reggie Miller has already seen the urgency of the current Bulldogs. Without An Sheng on the field, the Bulldogs' defense becomes riddled with holes.Many Bulldog spectators heard Reggie Miller's shouts, and they were also calling for Ann, hoping that he could play,
However, Stevens seemed very calm. If Anson, who had committed two fouls, gets fouled again, it will greatly reduce his playing time in the second half, and now Nolan Smith is off.He needs Anson with a stronger stamina to deal with Nolan Smith in the second half.

At the end of the first half, it was Hayward and Kyle Singler, the strongest white small forward in the NCAA league. Hayward performed even better. His two consecutive The second catch and jump shot helped the team chase the score, and let Singler hit the iron one after another on the defensive end, and finally narrowed the score to 8 points in the first half. 32:40, the point difference was within 10 points. All fans are acceptable!
The Blue Devils maintained their lead, and this point difference will not make the Bulldogs despair. Of course, Stevens will never be satisfied. He took the players into the tunnel with a sullen face. He thought the team's defense Can do better!At least, if Ann doesn't have foul trouble!

"Although Ann had a lot of bright performances in the first half, due to foul factors, he only played 12 minutes and contributed 6 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. We have reason to believe that in the second half, An Different performance!" In the limited number of games for Anson, Reggie Miller has been conquered by Anson's performance!

Kevin McHale nodded in agreement: "I'm sure the whole world loves that guy's defense, except for the guys who play against him, don't they? Whenever he's on the floor, Brad's on his team." The defense is full of confidence."

Kevin McHale's words went straight to Stevens' heart. At this time, he was emphasizing defense in the locker room. After that, he pulled Anson over and whispered to him: "Anson , In the second half, you have to control your fouls and be prepared to play the whole game.” It’s the last moment, and all your energy can be used in the last game without any worries!

Fifteen minutes later, at the beginning of the second half, An Sheng faced Nolan Smith again. The black point guard smiled at An Sheng: "I heard that you used to have a nickname called "China Mascot", right? I I think it's a good nickname."

The excellent performance in the first half made him feel a little overwhelmed. He had completely forgotten how embarrassed An Sheng was when he first defended him. At this time, he seemed to see the MOP trophy beckoning to him.

"Chinese mascot"?An Sheng suddenly remembered this long-standing nickname, as if he had never heard of this nickname after he played against Syracuse University. Looking at the small guard in front of him, An Sheng showed a hint of meaning on his face Unidentified smile, "Chinese mascot" is it?Let's feel the defense of the "Chinese mascot" later!
He stared at Nolan Smith in front of him, and behind him, the camera system closely followed the running position of the Blue Devils behind him. At this time, his eyes flashed, and Kyle Singler was on the right side of the court. The side ran out of space, do you want to pass?
He and the basketball flew in the same direction at the same time. An Sheng stretched out his long arm, and there was a crisp sound. An Sheng blocked the ball and quickly launched a counterattack. Nolan Smith's defense was completely ineffective for An Sheng's advancement Any effect, after entering the three-point line, An Sheng directly carried Nolan Smith in three steps and dunked the ball into the basket. At the same time, the referee also whistled at the right time, and 2+1 was achieved!

"Mr. Nolan? How does "China Mascot" feel about stealing?" An Sheng ran back after the free throw, while gesturing to Nolan Smith helplessly.

"It's a steal again. I feel that Ann's reaction speed is too fast. Watching the replay several times, I have the illusion that Ann's movement is happening at the same time as the opponent's pass!" Reggie Miller has no more this time. Shouting for Anson's steal, he really wanted to wave to the group of excited Bulldogs fans, and at the same time tell them a word, sit down, normal operation!

"Oh my god! Another steal! Did Nolan pass the ball too casually? Didn't he know that it would be fatal to be intercepted in this position? There was no one behind him to help him stop Ann's fast break. "Just now, the Bulldogs fans wanted to make a fuss, but now he has to exclaim for An Sheng's another steal. The two consecutive steals and fast breaks brought the atmosphere to a new peak.

"Bulldog, bulldog!" Sitting in the front row, Emma Watson and An Sheng's parents seemed to be the leaders of the Bulldog fans. With their initial cheers, the whole stadium rang out the cheers of bulldogs , although the point difference is still 3 points, but the momentum of the scene completely fell to the Bulldogs!
