Strong Offense and Defense

For a full 3 minutes, Nie Chuan's eyes were the figure of Rees and Seston when they confronted each other, but Nie Chuan didn't know how to pull himself back from the intertwined figures of the two.

When the first quarter ended, DK was biting azu, and the score gap remained at [-] points.

Everyone returned to coach Gordon, waiting for the coach's instructions.Carlo handed the water to Ewing, but Ewing's fingers were still shaking.

"Why hesitate? Even if we miss, Montenegro and I will definitely grab the rebound." Carlo grabbed Ewing's fingertips.

"You really know how to talk big." Ewing twitched the corners of his lips helplessly.

"It seems to be a little arrogant. Edgar and Jushi are not easy to deal with. But you always pursue the most perfect shot, which is a good thing. But in reality there is no perfection, even Ben Robbins who claims to shoot instantly It's impossible to hit every shot." Carlo raised his head and put his hand behind Ewing's head.

Coach Gordon's tactics have not been adjusted too much, and he still emphasizes that all players should play their own style.

"I want you to enjoy this game. Enjoying doesn't mean following the crowd. You have been led by azu all the time, although it is largely because of their pre-emptive strikes. But every minute and every second of the game should be grasped by yourself I don’t believe you will feel happy if you are held by Azu’s throat. Ewing, you only scored six points in the whole game, it’s not like you.”

Ewing gritted his teeth, he knew his own problems very well.

But to be clear is one thing, but to overcome is another.

"My child, there is a cliff in front of you. You always want to escape and hesitate, and wait and see the best time, but every time you escape and wait and see, you are getting closer and closer to the cliff. Either you jump with the determination to die, Maybe you can go to a wider place on the other side. Or you will eventually fall down due to helplessness." Coach Gordon's gaze was extremely strong, and Ewing seemed to be pushed hard, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Ewing clasped his fingers subconsciously, making Carlo's fingers rattle. Carlo felt pain, but he didn't make a sound.

Reese was sitting next to Nie Chuan. He didn't say anything, but just reached out to Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuanjiang unscrewed the lid of the water bottle and handed it to him.This is the tacit understanding between them, even if they don't say a word, they still know what the other party wants.

Reese raised his head, his throat surged, and Nie Chuan couldn't help but speak when he looked at the other party.

"I seem to have been unable to keep up with Seston. Although I know that I can no longer be influenced by him, I have no way to control it. Reese, have you ever felt this way? It seems that no matter how hard you try, you are in the other party's domain Every time I thought I was going to cross over, but I was disappointed again and again to find that I was still under the control of Seston."

"Of course I have." Reese put the water on the chair, turned his face to look at Nie Chuan, his eyes were open, "The first practice match between dk and azu. When I played against Seston Lind .”

Nie Chuan was stunned: "You...you were also caught by Seston..."

"Yes, in just 10 minutes of the game, I lost 26 points in the hands of Seston."

How can this be?

Nie Chuan opened his eyes wide and looked at Reese.But with Eris' character, he wouldn't comfort anyone.But Nie Chuan could never have imagined that Rees would be controlled by others.

"The harder I work and the faster I make myself, the more wrong Seston can make me. And my physical energy is exhausted very quickly. Although it's just a practice match, I can't afford to lose."

Nie Chuan knew that although Reese seemed indifferent, he was very persistent.This kind of attachment is not about winning or losing, but about another level of attachment.

"I can't afford to lose because I know that if I can't get out of Seston's control in this practice match, then the next game may be the finals, and I will still waste a lot of time getting used to him. And I can't afford to waste it. So I know how you feel, and the feeling of that moment that you can't surpass is constantly repeated in your mind. You will doubt yourself and feel very helpless."

"and then?"

"Then... Connor kicked me directly. He said that he hates my egomaniac who is immersed in his own world."

"Connor?" Nie Chuan couldn't imagine that the mild-mannered Connor would do such a thing.

But seeing that Reese and Seston are evenly matched, it is impossible to imagine the predicament of being restrained by Seston.Moreover, DK and Azu did not meet in the finals last year, which means that there are not many opportunities for Rees and Seston to fight, just one or two practice matches.How did he adjust himself?

"How did you erase the shadows of Seston in your mind and get yourself back?"

"I will listen to Vangelis' "Conquering Paradise." Reese replied lightly, he didn't seem to be worried about Nie Chuan's current state at all.

""Conquering Paradise"... Do you think you are Alexander? You are so narcissistic." Nie Chuan said with a smile.

Nie Chuan also listened to the song "Conquering Paradise" when he was watching "Alexander the Great". It was really impassioned and had a clear sense of rhythm.

"So what's your favorite music?" Rhys asked rhetorically.

Nie Chuan shook his head. Even if he could tell, he couldn't find it temporarily.

"So what's your favorite rhythm?" Reese asked again.

Nie Chuan glanced at Coach Gordon. At such an important moment, he was talking to Carlo and Montenegro instead of making a comprehensive tactical arrangement.He suddenly couldn't understand the coach.

"I... like you the most..."

I like the sound of your breathing the most.

But now is not the time to say such things.

It's just that every time Nie Chuan heard the sound of breathing coming from behind him on a quiet night, he always had the illusion that his thoughts were about to be pushed to the highest point by the other person's breathing.

Just when Nie Chuan was half-opening his mouth and didn't know how to finish the sentence, Rees suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed him against him.

"Then listen to the voice you want to hear now. This is the only thing I can do for you, Ogawa."

Nie Chuan swallowed and closed his eyes.Reese stretched out his other hand, covered Nie Chuan's left ear, and pressed his right ear to his chest, as if to block all the noises in the world for him.

Reese's breathing is very rhythmic, but its rhythm is not fast, as if the wind blowing from far away, whistling through the gaps in the canyon, passing the desert, setting off bursts of dust, galloping towards the endless In the distance at the end, rushing towards the scorching sun.

Then, what became more and more clear was the sound of Reese's heartbeat, one after another, like the sound of a basketball bouncing off the ground.

"Nie Chuan seems to have been hit hard by Seston. Sigh..." Lalvin showed a regretful expression.

"For any competitive game, the athlete's rhythm is very important. It is a part of competitive skills. Once you encounter a strong opponent, once you fall into the opponent's rhythm, it is difficult to extricate yourself. Therefore, when we face an opponent of comparable strength , I always hope to control the rhythm and control the opponent in my own hands. Seston not only affected Nie Chuan's rhythm, but also suppressed his self-confidence. In fact, compared to you and me, Nie Chuan was originally a rookie in ncaa. To be able to get to this level is simply called a genius.”

"Probably because the more talent he shows, the more everyone expects from him, and the more pressure he puts on himself."

At this time, Coach Gordon came to Nie Chuan and said with a smile: "I know that Reese's arms make you feel safer compared to the field, and I also know that compared to Seston, you are like a child in front of adults. It's just Looking at you all the way, I believe that you have your own judgment and determination. Whether you want to go forward or retreat, in fact, I can't replace you. Because dk has no better point guard than you, even if It's your worst form."

Nie Chuan was shocked. He knew that Coach Gordon sounded like he was accusing him, but he was telling him that he was the only choice for Coach Gordon.

"Half a minute." Coach Gordon turned and left.

Nie Chuan took a breath, took the warm-up basketball, sat on the chair, and patted the ball rhythmically with his palms.

All the sounds in my ears were like the clamor falling from boiling to freezing point, everything seemed to stop, except for the sound when Nie Chuan dribbled the ball and touched the ground.

He closed his eyes and let the sound of dribbling overlap with his own heartbeat, neither fast nor slow, neither slow nor fast.

I have always wanted to overtake Seston too much. In fact, so what if I let him pass, he can still catch up.

"You said, if Seston passed me for the first time, would I still be able to catch up with him?"

Nie Chuan asked suddenly.

"Of course." Rees replied without hesitation.

"Then can I do the opposite and trap him?"

"Of course I can."

"By the way... you like to listen to "Conquer Heaven". Do you really think that you can even conquer the realm of God?" Nie Chuan asked amusedly.

"Alexander thought he could conquer the world, but the world conquered him in the end. God's domain is God's. I only need to conquer your domain."

"Connor is right." Nie Chuan got up and threw the ball back to Rees, "You are indeed an egomaniac."

When Reese got up, there was a slight smile on the corner of his lips.

"I really want someone to make that guy Seston look like he's eating fly shit." Larvin drew a cross on his chest, as if praying to God.

At this time, the game was about to start, and everyone walked back to the field again.

Azu launched a fast break, and Seston was extremely fast. He dribbled the ball and broke the defense of Ewing and Carlo. As soon as he reached the three-point line, he encountered Nie Chuan.

Everyone will wait and see how Nie Chuan, who was passed by Seston countless times in the last quarter, will deal with it.
