Strong Offense and Defense

Nie Chuan pursed his lips and smiled.

After routine practice that afternoon, the doctor examined Reece's ankle very carefully.

In addition to Nie Chuan, Coach Gordon was present.

Nie Chuan could feel the tension in Coach Gordon's eyes.

If Reese's ankle can't recover, then in the next game DK faces CBU, I don't know if it can create a miracle like the last game.

The doctor nodded and said, "He can participate in the competition three days later."

Coach Gordon closed his eyes and exhaled.

To be honest, facing a cbu full of masters, Reese's return will make the whole team even more excited. dk's attack will be more powerful.

Nie Chuan hugged Reese's shoulder excitedly: "Great! We can play together!"

Reese raised his hand and patted Nie Chuan on the back, showing no extra expression. In his heart, his recovery was expected.

After leaving the hospital, Coach Gordon told the whole team about Reese's recovery. Nie Chuan could imagine how Ewing and the others cheered.

As Coach Gordon said, they are getting closer to the top, and the closer they are, the more difficult it will be. They must go out with the most perfect lineup.

After leaving the hospital, Reese hooked Nie Chuan's back collar: "Coach, I'll take Nie Chuan to watch the match between cbu and jgu."

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Coach Gordon also wanted to feel the current state of CBU.

When they came to the gymnasium, the match between CBU and JGU had already started for 8 minutes, the scene was crowded with CBU fans, and the red and white school flags were passing and fluttering like waves among the auditorium.The score on the screen was 24 to 12, and CBU led by a large margin.

As long as the game has not reached the last moment, jgu may come back at any time.

dk had already reserved the tickets for this game, and when they found a seat to sit down, Nie Chuan immediately heard the discussion of the audience beside him.

"Look, those are Rees Reddington and Nie Chuan from DK! Nie Chuan was so handsome in the last match! I heard that he and Rees are very good partners!"

"If cbu wins today, then it will compete with dk for the right to the final?"

"My God, wonder if Rhys Reddington's ankle is healed!"

There was no expression on Reese's face, just looking at the court intently.

Nie Chuan also concentrated his mind.

He always remembers the speed and agility of point guard Wright, the strength of power forward Thomas under the basket, and Owen Whishaw, who is a shooting guard but often completes the scoring function of a small forward, in the last practice match between DK and CBU.

At this moment, Owen has the ball, he turns sideways, the ball is behind him, but his face is facing the three players defending him.

Nie Chuan couldn't help but be surprised that JGU could mobilize three people to defend Owen. It seems that Owen today can let Nie Chuan see his true level.

Any good ball handler has the dribbling ability that seems to be rhythmic but can speed up or slow down at any time, and Owen is the same.

I saw the ball rush towards one of the opponents when Owen dribbled the ball, and the opponent immediately followed up to defend, but his defense helped Owen block the other two opponents. Owen shook his shoulders sharply and passed neatly. When the center came to intercept, Owen didn't shy away and shot directly.

The opponent's arm swiped past Owen's ball, and Nie Chuan was in a cold sweat watching it, but Owen's expression clearly showed that he was sure of victory.

The ball went into the basket calmly, surrounded by wild applause from the audience.

Nie Chuan let out a breath.

Owen is like a racing driver on the field, with crazy speed, a sharp turn that seems to be out of sight, and an unexpected stop, jgu is controlled by Owen between applause.

Not only that, the amazing explosive power of small forward Thomas under the basket allows Owen to score mid-to-long distance with confidence.

And point guard Wright is constantly creating scoring opportunities for Owen.

Originally, only the scoring triangle lineup formed by Owen, Wright and Thomas has already caused DK a headache, and the small forwards and centers of CBU also have extraordinary standards.

The cutting speed of the small forward is very fast and he is good at grasping opportunities. Maybe he is not as sharp as Rees, but at first glance it seems that luck is on his side, but as long as you analyze it carefully, you can understand that this guy's ability to run without the ball is very good. Tough, coupled with the absolute first-class jumping ability in the league, makes it difficult to defend this guy.

The center forward also has solid strength. Once he receives a pass from Owen or Wright at the basket, this guy can basically score, completely suppressing JGU's rebounding strength.

And what worries Nie Chuan the most is that the speed of the entire cbu is at the level of Ruiwen and Ashley.

Before, he almost collapsed in order to get rid of Ashley chasing after Ruiwen, but now facing the cbu with full horsepower, Nie Chuan felt a lot of pressure.

CBU is also very good at changing the rhythm of the game, from tight fast breaks to passing the ball from the basket back to the three-point line and then back to the inside from the three-point line, with a degree of relaxation, on the contrary jgu is played all over the court.

In the past, Nie Chuan directly classified Owen as a sharp predator like Rees, but at this moment he realized that he didn't know Owen too well.

He can layup aggressively, and he can also make long-range shots with ease, which puts the defenders under great pressure. It is really impossible to predict whether Owen will score or dribble.

For example, at this moment, Owen forced himself to jump in the face of the opposing center's strict defense. Everyone thought it was a shot, but Owen took the ball back and swung his body sharply, as if he was about to fall. Unexpectedly, he retracted his center of gravity again, and then turned around flexibly. The basketball kept bouncing at his toes. He successfully avoided the opponent, accelerated instantly, rushed into the basket with all his strength, and was about to dunk when he took off!

The opponent's power forward jumped up, and there was no weaker team that could enter the quarterfinals. The height of this jump made Nie Chuan stretch his neck.

But Owen was able to take the ball back and hook it in with his fingertips from the side of the opponent's arm!

His waist and abdomen showing the hem of the t-shirt are extremely powerful, and Nie Chuan can imagine how deafening the sound would be if it was a dunk.

At the end of this quarter, cbu has pulled the score gap to 22 points, which will put a lot of pressure on jgu.

When Owen raised his head to drink water, he clearly saw Nie Chuan on the stage.

He didn't look away, but kept looking at Nie Chuan.

As if he was a locked prey, an inexplicable fear rose in Nie Chuan's heart.

He thought that he was no longer afraid of Owen, and would no longer hiccup when he was frightened by the opponent's basketball, but at this moment, Nie Chuan had the illusion that his throat was tightly strangled by the opponent.

The game started again, and Ouen was even more unstoppable. With his best European step, he passed two people, turned around and dunked.

As for this exaggerated footwork, Nie Chuan still learned it from Owen.

Nie Chuan's European step is flexible and changeable, because Nie Chuan is good at controlling the center of gravity, so his swing is exaggerated to the unexpected.

However, Owen's European step fully exerted the control of the rhythm.

Accelerating when turning around, stopping suddenly when turning sideways, all these may make it difficult for opponents to adapt.

And the biggest difference from Nie Chuan is that Owen's movement has a great sense of power. When he holds the ball and raises his elbow, it seems to knock the opponent over, but Nie Chuan knows very well that Owen is Won't let myself hit anyone.But this sense of power can always deter opponents who come to defend.

When Owen cut to the basket again and cooperated with the small forward to score, Nie Chuan frowned.

This small forward is not the one from the previous practice match with dk, but a rookie who just joined cbu this year, and even entered the college basketball team later than Nie Chuan.But in the middle school basketball world, this guy is already a big name.

Owen and CBU's small forwards can cut into the basket from both sides at the same time, which puts huge defensive pressure on JGU.

With 5 minutes left in the game, jgu's players were extremely exhausted.

This kind of exhaustion was completely different from Nie Chuan's exhaustion in the face of Ruiwen. Nie Chuan knew the direction of his efforts, while jgu was completely lost.

Owen took away their confidence.

Just like when he frightened Nie Chuan in the practice match.

In the final score of the game, cbu led jgu by 32 points.Such a score was unexpected. After all, jgu is also a strong seed team, and its strength last year was comparable to that of cbu.But the gap of 32 points is reasonable, because jgu does not have an ace player like Owen Whishaw.

Reese patted Nie Chuan on the shoulder and motioned him to get up.

When Nie Chuan left, he took one last look at the court. Owen was smiling at him and waving his fingers at him.

Owen's teammate Wright came to him and said wordlessly, "I found that you really like to provoke Nie Chuan."

"Because he grows up too fast, I always want to uproot him."

"But if that's the case, you will feel that life will be boring again." Wright spread his hands, "But I don't have the confidence to face DK. Nie Chuan is no longer the rookie who practiced with us and could be bluffed by you. Also It's not a guy that I or Thomas can easily let go. I have a hunch that next game, he and Reece can also form a double-edged cut to our basket. We will be hard to defend."

Owen smiled noncommittally: "Let's go."

As soon as they walked out of the stadium, Nie Chuan and Reese were surrounded by fans.There were even two unknown sports reporters who came forward and asked how sure they felt about the match against CBU.
