Strong Offense and Defense

Ewing gave him a middle finger angrily, then returned to Nie Chuan's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's no big deal, I can get it back with a three-pointer!"

Nie Chuan nodded, and Ewing's comfort made him feel even more guilty.

ukb is in full swing, their point guard is rushed over, and the ball is passed to their small forward again, the small forward retreats to the three-point line, and is about to take off and score again.

Nie Chuan really wanted to crush the opponent, but Reece came in front of him in an instant. The ukb small forward tried to get rid of Reece, but was tricked by Reece's fake move. Reece dribbled the ball straight to the opponent's basket neatly. He passed the opponent's point guard and forward in a tone, and saw the opponent break out in cold sweat, but the opponent's center suddenly came in front of Rees, and his forward also came behind Rees. Under the front and rear pincers, Rees decisively passed the ball Nie Chuan who followed him.

Seeing that the opponent's point guard was about to pick up his own ball again, Nie Chuan had no time to dodge and pass the ball back to Ewing who was standing on the three-point line.

Ewing can definitely score!

At that moment, the opponent's shooting guard suddenly came from behind Ewing in front of him and intercepted Nie Chuan's pass.

How...how could this be...

Nie Chuan was still in a daze. Carlo ran past him with amazing explosive power and running, but it was still a step too late. When he jumped up, the opponent's shooting guard had already made a shot and made another shot.

"Damn—" Ewing curled his lips, "I'm much better at aiming than him..."

But just didn't get the right opportunity.

Ewing came to Nie Chuan's side and whispered, "Alan, don't be nervous! They look tall, but they are all paper tigers!"

When Nie Chuan got the ball, he looked at the opponent and doubted again whether he had the ability to bring the ball into the opponent's area.

He faced the opponent's point guard again. The opponent's height was about [-] by visual inspection, but his movements were very agile. He looked at Nie Chuan teasingly, obviously looking down on him.

Don't back down, Nie Chuan!Pass him!

Nie Chuan shook his shoulders sharply, then retracted, and quickly crossed the ball at his feet, but just as he took a step, the opponent stretched out his arm, and "bang—" blocked the ball.

When he was about to counterattack quickly with the ball, Reese intercepted his ball from the other side, and was immediately intercepted by the opponent's small forward and center. But what Nie Chuan didn't expect at all was Reese's extremely fast fake action Dash past them both for a layup with the ball.

The opponent's power forward jumped up, and was about to go to catch up from behind Reese, but Reese handed the ball to Nie Chuan who was following behind him.

Nie Chuan got the ball and was watched by the opponent's point guard again. He couldn't get rid of it. He was eager to pass the ball, but was intercepted by the opponent.

In this way, Ewing was followed one-on-one by the opponent's shooting guard and could not use it. Montenegro and Carlo also lacked opportunities at the basket. Rees maneuvered throughout the court and kept recovering lost points. But at the end of the first half, DK fell behind. Scored ukb by eleven points, which couldn't be more useless.

Nie Chuan sat on a chair and lowered his head, not even in the mood to drink mineral water.

"Well, Alan, this is the first time you compete with us. It's understandable that you don't have a tacit understanding! Take your time!" Carlo rubbed Nie Chuan's head.

"Yeah, don't mind me. Didn't I also be looked down upon by the opponent's shooting guard?" Ewing also comforted, "But Nie Chuan, you were really handsome when you passed Montenegro, although the next three It's kind of silly to step to the basket..."

"The latter half of the sentence is redundant..." Carlo just stopped talking when he received Ewing's warning gaze.

"Alan, when you and I were more flexible than now. Did Ukb's height make you feel depressed?" Montenegro also spoke.

Nie Chuan didn't know how to respond to them.He thanked them for all the excuses they gave him, and he also knew that Carlos and the others wanted him to be in the state, but this high-speed rhythm and playing style made him feel that every basketball game he had played in the past was like a child's play. .

Nie Chuan rejected the restart of the game from the bottom of his heart.

He knows he still won't be able to drive the ball into the back of the opponent's back, he knows he'll still get blocked by the opposing point guard, he knows his pass will still come at the wrong time, but even if he knows that, he still can't. change anything.

He just wanted to say that he couldn't do it.

But he really didn't want to see Carlo and the others disappointed.Nie Chuan subconsciously reached for his sports bag. He wanted his own chocolate, and he wanted it very desperately.Whenever he gets nervous, he craves chocolate.Even more so now.

Suddenly, Nie Chuan's collar was lifted up, and when he looked up, he met Reese's cold eyes.

"Do you know that you are completely out of shape? The opponent's center forward is not as strong as Montenegro. You can dribble past Montenegro but not him?"

"Hey! Let go! Reece! What do you want to do!" Ewing showed a surprised expression.

In his heart, Reese is an extremely calm existence, no matter how bad his teammates perform, Reese can unswervingly turn the tide.

"Okay, Reece, I know you deliberately gave Nie Chuan a lot of chances in the first half! But don't forget that Alan is playing basketball with us for the first time. The way we play is different from what he has experienced before. So he needs to adapt!"

Carlo's expression was very serious, and his hands clasped Reese's wrists with considerable strength, and his eyes also had an oppressive look.

But Rees didn't intend to let go at all. His gaze penetrated Nie Chuan's vision with great force, and went straight into the depths of his brain.

"Listen to me, Nie Chuan, bring back your sense of rhythm! Don't think about the height of your opponent, because your battlefield is not in the air but on the ground. No matter how tall they are, how good their skills are, how good they are at shooting the basket Yes, you must dribble. At that time, it is your chance."

It was like a majestic heavy rain of lightning and thunder, pouring down from the top of Nie Chuan's head, and the original anxiety also settled down.

"You are a point guard. What you see is not only the opponent blocking in front of you, but the entire court. Don't forget what it means to move without the ball. Always stand where your teammates may need you. You have to take the initiative to fight for opportunities instead of passively waiting for opportunities! Do you understand?"

"Um……"

For Nie Chuan, it was better to be scolded severely by Rees than to be comforted by Ewing and the others. The blood blocked all over his body seemed to start to flow.

Reese's hand loosened.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief, and even the people in ukb turned their faces and whispered as if they were watching their jokes.

After all, in last year's league, they were under pressure from DK, how could they lead by double digits like today.

"Now you can eat your chocolate."

Reese's words brought amnesty to others.

"Alan, don't be intimidated by Reese, that's what he looks like, hahaha..." Carlo turned the chocolate out of the bag for Nie Chuan.

"Eat something sweet and your mood will improve immediately!" Ewing offered to ask Nie Chuan to tear open the packaging of the chocolate.

"Drink some water, you sweat a lot." Hei Shan handed over the water.

And Reese sat coldly on the other side of the chair, like a statue.

Nie Chuan quickly bit off the chocolate and swallowed it.But in fact, before he ate the chocolate, his mind had calmed down.

The break is over and they are going to play again.

Ewing clapped his hands and said, "Anyway, in the second half, we will recover points one goal at a time!"

Carlo is also full of confidence: "Nonsense, how could the ukb be completely defeated?"

When Reese walked past Nie Chuan, he stopped and said coldly, "Nie Chuan, don't forget that you control the rhythm of the game. An excellent point guard is the uncrowned king on the basketball court."

Nie Chuan was shocked, and Reese had already walked away.

Adjust your breathing, Nie Chuan.

Those guys on the opposite side are no big deal.

You can swing past them, you can lead them forward, you can cut them!

The whistle sounded to start the game, and Rees decisively swung past the opponent's small forward and went straight to the basket.They were obviously very afraid of Rees, and the power forward and center moved quickly to block Rees.

Rees didn't bother to break through, but threw the ball back and passed it to Nie Chuan who was following him.

The opponent's point guard came to Nie Chuan again, with a smile on his face. In the first half, he gained enough confidence from Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan was dribbling the ball and looking into the opponent's eyes. In fact, thinking about it carefully, this guy is not much taller than himself!

Nie Chuan's feet suddenly accelerated, and he stepped to the right. The opponent thought he was going to break through and followed closely, but he didn't expect that it was just a tentative step. Nie Chuan's center turned from the right to the left, and passed the opponent.

He looked around while dribbling the ball.

Behind him on the left was Ewing, who was watched dead by the opponent, and Ewing was still unable to occupy a favorable position.

Behind him on the right is Carlo who is coming, and Montenegro has reached the opponent's basket.

The ukb center had already arrived in front of Nie Chuan, and was about to block Nie Chuan's passing angle.

Nie Chuan stretched his right hand to the back. Carlo had already set aside his opponent's preparation to catch the ball. The center defending Nie Chuan was about to take Nie Chuan's pass, but Nie Chuan suddenly took the ball back. After passing him, everything was so fast that he couldn't see clearly, and Nie Chuan left and passed the ball to Heishan.

Heishan made another slam dunk, and the loud sound made Nie Chuan feel so pleasant.

But for ukb, it is a deterrent.

The point difference dropped from double digits to single digits.

Nie Chuan quickly returned to defense, and Carlo's complaints came from his ears: "Alan! Wasn't that ball for me just now?"

"Hey!" Nie Chuan smiled.

"Alan, I'm actually very handsome!"

Nie Chuan was really not used to Carlo saying such funny things in such a serious tone.

Ewing, who ran past Carlo, was already sweating on his forehead.

When the opponent counterattacked across the board, Nie Chuan stood at the forefront and faced the opponent's point guard directly again.

The opponent's expression was obviously much more serious than before.

The opponent wanted to get rid of Nie Chuan quickly, but he never expected that Nie Chuan, who was so clumsy as if he was playing basketball for the first time, would defend him very stickily.

When he swayed to Nie Chuan's left side, Nie Chuan's shoulder and reaction were very quick, and when he swayed to Nie Chuan's right side, Nie Chuan was able to follow closely.

This little guy has so flexible knees!

Just when the opponent decided to pass the ball to the shooting guard next to him, he heard a "snap" and the ball was snatched by Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan ran forward quickly, but his sprint speed was still far behind the ukb power forward. Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Nie Chuan imagined the layout of the entire basketball court in his heart, and suddenly He made a sudden stop, sent the ball to the back of the other side, and then quickly ran over with the ball.

It was Ewing who received the ball. He was defended by the opponent's shooting guard. Nie Chuan's arrival blocked the opponent's shooting guard. Ewing came to the three-point line and made a jumping posture.

The opponent's center caught up, but Ewing took the ball back and really took off. The ball was shot very quickly, as if he was hasty and unprepared.

The players under the basket who were about to grab a rebound all raised their faces, but the arc of that ball was so beautiful that Nie Chuan knew he had to score!

The score gap narrowed again, and most importantly, ukb had no chance to score at all!

Their point guard lifted the collar of his t-shirt, wiped his chin, stared at Nie Chuan's back, and gritted his teeth.

The first time is a coincidence, the second time is strength.

"Is this guy playing us in the first half?"

Enraged, he quickly dribbled the ball into DK's defense and passed Nie Chuan in seconds. His speed gave Nie Chuan no chance to react.

Immediately afterwards, he dribbled the ball past Ewing. Nie Chuan and Ewing followed closely behind him. He quickly passed the ball to the power forward next to him. Just as the ball was pushed out, Rees intercepted it.

He was dumbfounded, his speed was fast enough, but Rees was faster than him.

Reese turned around and ran with the ball all the way, like a meteor piercing through the atmosphere, and all opponents following him became gas dragged while being burned.

It was another slam dunk, which was unmatched.

Nie Chuan watched with wide eyes.

The scene reminded him of his first time with Reese.

"Ah... I really want to dunk..." Carlo complained again by Nie Chuan's side.

Nie Chuan smiled and patted Carlo on the back.

The opponent's point guard's speed was terrifying. If he tried his best to charge in, Nie Chuan knew that he would not be able to stop him.If it weren't for Reese's decisive decision, they would have conceded the goal.

In the battle between the two sides, DK's advantage gradually emerged, and Reese became more and more merciless, crushing the opponent's defense.

But their point guard still beat Nie Chuan with speed, often dribbling the ball past dk's defense and heading straight for the basket, creating many scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Nie Chuan was frustrated with his speed.

When returning to the basket, Rees said to him in Chinese: "It's still the same sentence, the strengths of one skill attack the weaknesses of the other, and don't compete with the opponent's strengths with your own weaknesses."

Nie Chuan blinked, then looked at the opponent's point guard, and seemed to understand something.

It was another round of powerful attacks, and the opponent's point guard came oncoming.

This time it was not Nie Chuan who was defending him, but Reese.

Reese's speed is extremely fast, and he follows the opponent's point guard like a shadow, which puts great pressure on the opponent.

Nie Chuan, on the other hand, stared at the opponent's dribble hand. At a certain moment, when the opponent dribbled, he didn't touch the ball.

When he heard the sound of dribbling away from behind his ears, he realized that Nie Chuan had already stolen the ball!

"Alan did a great job! Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Carlo had already rushed towards the opponent's basket. Seeing that other defenders were about to rush up, Rees yelled: "Long pass assist!"

Without thinking, Nie Chuan sent the ball in Carlo's direction.

The speed of the ball was too fast and the height was higher than the average pass. Nie Chuan regretted in his heart that he was too anxious.

But to Nie Chuan's surprise, Carlo jumped into the air after running. His jumping power made Nie Chuan dumbfounded. He caught the basketball in the air with his hand and dunked it into the basket!

Everyone is stupid.

Nie Chuan opened his eyes wide, pointed at Carlo's arrogant swaying voice on the basket and said, "That...that is... an alley-oop slam dunk?"

"Yeah, this guy is really..." Ewing sighed.

"Oh! You're so handsome!" Nie Chuan's admiration for Carlo increased by several percentage points.

"This guy has been thinking about it for a long time." Montenegro returned to defense indifferently.

Carlo ran back with open arms and gave Nie Chuan a big hug: "Alan, you finally passed the ball to me!"

Nie Chuan also hugged him very happily: "Carol, you are so amazing! How did you catch my ball!"

"Jumped up and caught it! When I think of you finally passing the ball to me, I'm so motivated!"

"Two fools, back on defense!"

Reese's voice was as sharp as a knife, Carlo's expression immersed in joy was immediately replaced by seriousness, and Nie Chuan quickly recovered.

In the subsequent games, Nie Chuan "stealed" the ball from the opponent's players twice, and dribbled the ball into the opponent's defensive area three times to pass the ball and scored. The cooperation with other players became more and more tacit.

And ukb also called a stop in the game for the first time.

Nie Chuan sat on a chair, gurgling mineral water.

Carlo happily put his arm on Nie Chuan's shoulder and said, "Alan, you are really amazing!"

"Is...really?" Nie Chuan said while panting.

"In the next period of time, we will continue to cut the front line behind them, Allen, come on! But the opponent's point guard is very fast, which is really a headache." Ewing scratched his face and looked up, "Ah— —If the game is over, I really want to go to that tea restaurant to eat again! There are all kinds of buns, the more I think about it, the hungrier I become..."

"Ewing, the game is not over yet, you have to concentrate." Montenegro reminded.

"know."

"Hey, why are you so obedient when Montenegro talks about you? I made a reasonable suggestion to you, and you acted like you were going to kill me?" Carlo moved his head to Ewing again.

Ewing pressed the half-chewed gum hard on his face: "Because the way you talk is annoying!"

"Hey! You are disgusting like this!"

Nie Chuan lowered his head. He didn't feel it when he was concentrating on running before, but now he felt his breathing was heavy.

To be honest, the amount of exercise in previous basketball games cannot be compared with this time.He has to run at full speed to keep up with the opposing point guard.And the range of motion is much larger than before.Even facing a tall opponent like Montenegro, Nie Chuan didn't feel that his physical disadvantage was so obvious.

"Nie Chuan, eat the chocolate."

As soon as Nie Chuan lowered his head, he saw the chocolate that Rees handed over. The candy wrapper had been peeled off by Rees. Nie Chuan felt uneasy, and Rees could tell that he was very tired now.

After eating the chocolate in two or three bites, Nie Chuan followed his teammates to play again.

At the beginning of the game, the opponent's point guard came to Nie Chuan with the ball. Nie Chuan told himself to focus. After the opponent passed the ball, no matter how Nie Chuan moved, he would follow Nie Chuan closely.

Nie Chuan understood that ukb had used one-on-one defensive tactics against him.

The opponent's point guard was already drenched with sweat, but his movements were still agile.

When Ewing passed the ball to Nie Chuan, Nie Chuan knew that he should not be in a stalemate with the opponent for too long, so he decisively passed the ball to Carlo on the other side.

Carlo was about to catch the ball, but was intercepted by the opponent's jumping small forward. Before Nie Chuan had time to be dumbfounded, the point guard defending him laughed.

"You're so cute, passing the ball sideways."

Nie Chuan suddenly realized that he forgot to observe the situation on the field.The lateral pass just now is very likely to be intercepted by the opponent regardless of height or speed.

Only a "bang--" was heard, and the opponent's small forward scored.

Score began to enter a state of anxiety.

Nie Chuan caught the ball again, and the opponent's point guard smiled again, as if to say, "Let's make another lateral pass."

At this time, ukb adopted full-court marking, and their small forward blocked Reese's side, blocking his best position for receiving the ball.Ewing's position is also not ideal...Carlo and Montenegro are near the basket, too far away...

what should I do?

what should I do?

Nie Chuan moved his left leg tentatively, but the opponent's point guard still reacted quickly.

"Nie Chuan! Shoot!" Reese's voice came with great penetrating power.

Nie Chuan suddenly understood and tried his best to jump quickly.

The opponent's point guard was dumbfounded, it's impossible to make a shot from this distance!

When the opponent followed suit, Nie Chuan had already made a move.

For this distance, he had to work very hard.

This completely unlike shooting posture made the point guard defending him suddenly understand: "Rebound——"

Montenegro and Carlo jumped up, Carlo created a favorable space for Montenegro in the air, Montenegro took the ball in one fell swoop, and then took off to score!

Nie Chuan staggered when he landed.
