Strong Offense and Defense

When Nie Chuan was woken up with sleepy eyes, he found that they had come to the door of a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.

"Get out of the car, Nie Chuan, go eat!"

"Wow! I like the morning tea of ​​this chain tea restaurant the most! The shrimp dumplings and barbecued pork buns are delicious!" Nie Chuan's eyes lit up, and he patted Ewing's arm and strongly recommended it.

Ewing also laughed: "It seems that Reece is very good at finding places!"

"Reese?"

When Nie Chuan followed Ewing to a round table, he realized that Reese had already been sitting by the window, holding an English newspaper in his hand. In the morning light, Reese's facial features looked even more beautiful, and many guests dining here Can't help but look in his direction.

"Hey, Reese! Here we come!" Carlo sat down loudly.

Ewing sniffed the air like a child, showing an intoxicated expression: "It smells so good..."

Nie Chuan could tell that Ewing was a foodie.

"I've already ordered something to eat." Reese said lightly.

"Hurry up and serve the food! Serve the food! I'm already hungry!" Ewing licked his lips.

Carlo frowned and said, "How do I remember that you, like me, ate three burgers in the restaurant before you came out!"

"I'm hungry again now, can't I?" Ewing glared at Carlo.

"Oh, you are such a bottomless pit..."

Under the table, Ewing kicked hard in Carlo's direction, but Carlo's leg avoided to the side, and unexpectedly hit Nie Chuan's knee. Nie Chuan suddenly lost his balance, bumped to the side, and fell into the ground. In the arms of the person next to you.

"Ah! My pork bun!" Nie Chuan's eyes widened.

The moment the char siew bun fell on the plate, he realized that he seemed to be hugged by someone.

Nie Chuan turned his face with a stiff neck, and saw that Reese next to him had put the newspaper on the table.

"That...Don't blame Allen, Reese! Blame Ewing if you want!"

"What?" Ewing stared at him, raising his fist as if he was about to hit Carlo.

"You kicked me first, I hit Alan to avoid you, and Alan accidentally bumped into Reese!"

"Okay, stop arguing, let's eat. The two of you shouldn't be eating at the same table." Montenegro rarely showed a helpless expression.

"Hmph!" Ewing turned his head away.

"Eat." Rees raised his chin, glanced at Nie Chuan's pork buns on the plate, and signaled him to continue eating.

Nie Chuan seemed to be pardoned. When he put the barbecued pork bun into his mouth, when he thought of Reese's raised palm on his left shoulder at that moment, the place became inexplicably hot.

When they left the tea restaurant, Ewing was still unsatisfied: "It's so delicious! That dumpling is so elastic!"

"Those are shrimp dumplings." Nie Chuan replied.

“The bun with the sweet meat filling is also delicious!”

"That's called barbecued pork buns."

"And the egg wrapped in the transparent dough is also delicious!"

"That's rice rolls."

"I'll eat it next time, double! I knew I wouldn't eat three burgers!"

Ewing's regretful look made Nie Chuan temporarily forget the tension before the game.

After getting in the car, Nie Chuan, who was full, fell asleep again.

Carlo smiled: "This guy is really like a child. He sleeps when he gets in the car and eats when he gets off the car."

"It's a good way to save your physical strength and energy for practice matches," Montenegro said.

Carlo saw Reese's Land Rover following behind them from the rearview mirror, and smiled slightly.

They finally came to the basketball court where the practice game was agreed.

Nie Chuan discovered that the basketball court was so close to the hospital where Connor was.Did Rees do this on purpose, or was it a coincidence?

"Hey, I rented this basketball court! It's not bad!" Carlo patted his chest.

If it was Carlo, it should be just a coincidence.

"Can't you rent a place in the gymnasium?" Ewing pouted.

"Right here." Reese took off his coat, threw it on a chair beside him, and covered his sports bag, "Nie Chuan, don't forget to warm up."

"Ah, oh! Yes!" Nie Chuan also took off his coat.

At this time, their opponents from ukb walked into the basketball court with sports backpacks on their backs.

Their center waved to Carlo: "Hey, Carlo Brandon, long time no see!"

The first thing Nie Chuan saw was the opponent's legs. Looking up along the legs, he was dumbfounded.

Even if the height of these people does not exceed 190, they are still [-], [-]!

Nie Chuan didn't see much in front of them at all!

"Long time no see! Have you washed your neck?" Carlo raised his eyebrows.

The other party sneered, and after scanning around, his gaze fell on Nie Chuan: "Is he a rookie on your team?"

"Yeah, the potential is limitless, be careful of your neck." Carlo's finger gestured around his neck.

The ukb center showed an expression of disbelief: "Just this little guy? I'm afraid he won't be able to touch the basketball."

In fact, Nie Chuan himself was so worried.

"Just five of you here? Not even a replacement?"

"Five people are enough!" Carlo looked confident, but Nie Chuan was drumming in his heart.

There are seven players coming from the opponent, Carlo and the others must send at least six of them!Even if it is to send Peter!At least Peter's height has an advantage over Nie Chuan!

At this time, two middle-aged men walked into the field, one of them had gray-blue eyes, and looked very serious.

He sat behind the ukb.

Nie Chuan became even more nervous, how much ukb attaches importance to this practice match!

"Nie Chuan, warm up."

Reese raised his chin, and with just one sentence, he took away the attention of all ukb players.

Admired, envious, and disdainful, Nie Chuan could imagine that Reese must be the number one feared figure in the league.

Rees passed the ball to Nie Chuan, but Nie Chuan didn't catch it, and the ball bounced to Ewing's lower back.

"Oh! Oh my god, what a fool..." Ewing turned his head and found that it was Nie Chuan, and his attitude immediately changed, "Alan, don't be nervous! Don't be nervous!"

The more he said that, the more nervous Nie Chuan became, his arms became stiff.

The opponent's point guard raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and complained in a moderate voice: "Even if our performance in the league last year was not good, udk doesn't have to be so perfunctory to us, right?"

Nie Chuan's mood became even worse.

"Don't let others affect your mood." Reese's voice sounded in his ear.

"I see."

It's just that when the opponent walks in, the sense of oppression becomes more obvious.

Although Nie Chuan had fought against Mark, Reese, Black Mountain and Peter who were much taller than him, he had never faced so many tall men at once!

As a point guard, it is simply impossible to take the ball and cut into the opponent's defensive area. He will be knocked down by the opponent in minutes!

"Don't back down." Reese's voice sounded again.

Nie Chuan was going crazy. Reese knew whether Reese had the ability to read minds and why he was thinking.

The game is about to start and the referee is the assistant coach of ukb.

With a whistle, the ball was thrown into the air, and Nie Chuan's heart was lifted into his throat.

But Carlo's jumping ability is completely beyond the range of Nie Chuan's imagination, especially in terms of the speed of force, he aggressively slapped the ball in Nie Chuan's direction, Nie Chuan caught the ball, and Ewing shouted: " Fast attack!"

Nie Chuan realized his duty, he dribbled towards the opponent's area.

In less than three steps, the opponent's small forward stood in front of him.

"Pass him!" Carlo's voice came.

Different from the usual rambunctiousness, Carlo's voice is calm and oppressive.

The opponent was very tall, and Nie Chuan couldn't imagine the defense range of the opponent. He tried to quickly dribble the ball and turn around the opponent, but he didn't expect the opponent to follow and intercept him again.

DK's fast break was about to be disintegrated. At this time, Ewing shook off the defenders and came to Nie Chuan's side: "Alan—pass the ball!"

Nie Chuan passed the ball, and Ewing dribbled quickly past the opponent's two defenders and reached the three-point area. Blocked Ewing's shooting height.

Ewing pushed the ball aside and handed it to Black Mountain. Black Mountain's speed was not blocked, and he made a layup suddenly, and a slam dunk resounded through the sky.

"Huh—" Nie Chuan let out a breath.

"Return to defense!" Carlo yelled, and everyone quickly returned to defense, and Nie Chuan was on the front line.

The opponent's point guard swayed his shoulders to the left very quickly in front of Nie Chuan, stopped suddenly, changed direction, and threw Nie Chuan away in one go, broke through Ewing's defense, and quickly cut into the depths of DK.

Just when he was about to face Reese, he passed the ball to his small forward, who continued to dribble for a layup, and was double intercepted by Carlo and Montenegro.

Montenegro jumped up and blocked the opponent's shot, while Carlo dropped the opponent's racket from behind with a "bang--".

As soon as Ewing received the ball, he was taken away by the opponent's point guard. Ewing didn't itch his teeth with anger, but quickly chased after him.

Nie Chuan followed and ran away, and Rees quickly intercepted the ball. Just as he turned around, he was robbed by the opponent's small forward, and without warning, he jumped up and made a three-pointer into the basket to overtake DK.

The pace of all this was too fast for Nie Chuan.

Not only was it changing rapidly, but most importantly, Nie Chuan felt as if he didn't belong to this stadium. Every time he passed the ball, every attack and defense, he was like an outsider, unable to enter the state at all.

The opponent's small forward walked up to Reese, and smiled with the corners of his lips: "I'm sorry."
