Strong Offense and Defense

"Ah."

At this time Carlo clapped his hands, got up and said to everyone: "Hey, guys! Today is going to be a big fight! Montenegro, you can't lose when you scrum!"

"It's not your turn to tell me." Montenegro's fist thumped Carlo's chest.

Everyone in the audience stared at the basketball that was about to be thrown into the air.

At the moment when the ball was about to fall, Black Mountain and Thomas jumped up at the same time, but Black Mountain's explosion at that moment was amazing. He was half a palm earlier than Thomas, and he steadily moved the ball in the direction of Nie Chuan, and Wright immediately Defending near Nie Chuan, Nie Chuan had long been wary of his speed. After judging the direction of the ball, he took off and held the ball without any hesitation, and ran at high speed.

As soon as the game started, the rhythm of the game was driven by Nie Chuan. Everyone thought he would cut into the opponent's defensive area, but he made a very fast long pass, passed through the opponent's small forward and power forward, and delivered it accurately. Carlo, who was about to run to the opponent's basket.

Carlo's smash resounded throughout the arena, and dk scored the first goal of the game.

The players watching from the sidelines were stunned.

"Wow... It's only two seconds, right? DK's attack is too fast, it's impossible to react?"

"The one with the black hair who was really fast? Our point guard Wright didn't even catch him, and then his long pass... oh my god, it went over the shoulders of our small forwards and power forwards!"

"Yes, this height is very subtle, and people need to turn sideways to intercept it. But when they turn sideways, it is too late."

Carlo clapped his hands with Nie Chuan happily: "I'm so happy, Allen's first pass in this game was for me!"

Ewing pushed Carlo's head away and said disgustedly: "Enough is enough! Continue the game!"

Wright rubbed his chin, looked at Nie Chuan's profile and smiled.

Thomas came over and patted Wright on the shoulder: "Hey, stop that brat."

"Of course." Wright bent down and pressed his knees, "It's almost time to let him know the speed of our cbu."

The game continued. Nie Chuan ran hard and brought the ball into the opponent's area. He pushed the ball to Ewing who was standing outside the three-point line.

"Not good! It's Ewing!"

Ewing was about to take off when he heard a "snap". Someone pushed the ball out of Ewing's hands from bottom to top. Reese's "return to defense" made Nie Chuan suddenly realize that it was the opponent's point guard Wright.

Wright's speed was astonishing, and Nie Chuan tried his best to follow behind him without getting a chance to draw the ball.

Rees accelerated with all his strength and finally stopped in front of Wright.

Wright stopped suddenly and took a small step back. He did it very naturally, making it too late for defense. The ball was passed to Thomas. Thomas dribbled the ball to the basket to face the double defense of Montenegro and Carlo. Montenegro was about to block After dropping the ball, Thomas took the ball back. Before landing, he handed the ball to his small forward, and the opponent took off and scored.

The coordination of this attack was much more complicated than the one that DK scored just now, but it was controlled within five seconds from the beginning to the end, as if counterattacking the quick attack made by Nie Chuan just now.

Nie Chuan exhaled, Wright had already come in front of him, and smiled: "It's not bad, but it wasn't my full speed just now."

Nie Chuan knew that Wright wasn't bragging. In last year's game, his fast passing and cutting combined with Owen Whishaw's offense completely crushed DK's defense. Speed ​​is Wright's edge.

Wright got the ball again and changed direction with two shoulder shakes. The more Nie Chuan tried to keep up with the opponent's rhythm, the more obvious it was that he was shaken away.

He had a feeling that he was being played by Wright.

Wright had already picked up speed and passed Ewing, but Reece followed him and quickly defended in front of him. Wright's speed did not weaken, but cut to Reese's left side, and then changed to the right side in an instant, smoothly And agile, but at the moment when he was about to pass Reese, no one saw clearly how Reese did it. He actually swayed in front of Wright again, intercepted the ball, and quickly dribbled the ball towards the opponent's defensive area.

"Back to—" Thomas yelled.

It's a pity that Reese has already entered the land of no one, like an arrow off the string, passing through the double defense of the opponent's power forward and small forward. Everyone thought he was about to dunk, but he didn't jump up at all, but turned around and passed the ball It was given to Ewing on the three-point line.

Ewing took off, with almost no defense or interference, and this three-pointer went into the basket without any suspense.

Nie Chuan stood where he was, looking at Reese's figure in a daze.

It was Reece who accompanied him to practice dribbling every day. At that time, he felt that Reece's speed and reaction ability were very fast, but in this game he realized that it was not just a block, but incredibly fast.When practicing with himself, Reese didn't fully play.

Nie Chuan originally thought that Reese would spend time with himself to practice, and Reese himself would also get exercise, but now he realized that this was probably just one-sided guidance.

Reese glanced at Nie Chuan, which made Nie Chuan nervous.

It's not that I haven't played well, it's just that I can't be Wright's opponent yet!

"Carol, pause for a moment." Reese glanced at Carlo.

Carlo understood Reese's intentions and made a pause gesture.

Everyone returned to the sidelines, everyone began to drink water, and communicated how to cooperate next.

Nie Chuan found the chocolate from his bag, and before he could unwrap the wrapping paper, Reese held down his fingers.

Everyone looked over, Ewing was a little worried that Reese would blame Nie Chuan, but was stopped by Carlo when he was about to step forward.

"The person who has been practicing with Nie Chuan is Reese. Therefore, among us, the person who understands Nie Chuan's technical characteristics best is also Reese."

As soon as Nie Chuan raised his eyes, he met Reese's eyes, calm and without a trace of waves, but it seemed that a power to overthrow everything was brewing.

"Xiao Chuan, your performance is not bad."

"Thank you."

Reese knelt in front of him on one knee, his eyes level with him, which made Nie Chuan feel like a child who needs to be coaxed by adults after failure.

A pair of warm hands covered Nie Chuan's ankles, and Nie Chuan's heartbeat suddenly stopped.

"But you forgot who you are, and you were taken away by Wright's rhythm. You haven't shown your true self yet. All the advantages that belong to Nie Chuan have not been shown."

"My Strengths?"

"Your probing step."

Reese's palm slowly moved up along Nie Chuan's ankle and came to his calf, "You have a sense of space and distance when facing the defender."

All the blood in Nie Chuan's body rushed to the place where Reese's hands touched, and all the slack nerves seemed to be entangled at that moment.

Reese's hand came to Nie Chuan's knee: "There is also the control of inertia. This is what we have practiced for a long time, and the most similar place between you and me."

Yes, stop when you want to. This is something Reece especially taught himself by hand during practice.

"It's similar...I'm so far away from you." Nie Chuan smiled helplessly.

"No. Although most of your jerk stops are within my expectations, one out of ten surprises me."

Nie Chuan swallowed, and Reese's words were serious.

"Um……"

"There's also a side-to-side change. You can cut in with either hand, I've watched you, you don't have a fixed habit. You'll make Wright vomit blood."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Nie Chuan felt that there was a faint smile on Reese's lips.

"Yes." Nie Chuan nodded.

Rees let go of his hands and came to the sides of Nie Chuan's ears, "And your vision and the position of everyone in your mind."

"I will not forget."

"very good."

Wright, who was sitting across from him wiping his sweat, looked suspiciously in the direction of Reese and Nie Chuan: "What are they doing? Are they teaching the newcomers hand in hand?"

"That kid's basketball is good, but a lot of things need experience. The heat is still a little bit off. But like a seed with such potential, it's best to prevent it from breaking ground before it germinates."

"I know. He should feel lucky that he didn't meet Owen, otherwise he would die even worse."

The whistle sounded and the game continued.Wright moved his wrist and stepped forward.

At the beginning of the game, CBU succeeded in stealing the ball again. Wright dribbled the ball and Nie Chuan followed him closely. Wright wanted to pass the ball to the other side, but Ewing was defending his teammate and occupying a favorable position. , he stopped abruptly and was about to jump and shoot, when Nie Chuan robbed him as soon as he raised his hand.

Nie Chuan got the ball, and Wright followed closely to defend.

He pulled a smile: "Have you thought about me?"

It's you!

Nie Chuan took a step back, widening the distance between him and Wright. Then he stared at Wright's eyes and stepped down to dribble, quickly cutting to the right.

Wright was about to intercept the ball, but Nie Chuan controlled his movement, stepped back, stopped suddenly, and made a jump shot.

It was impossible to shoot from this distance, but Wright had no time to react, and Montenegro quickly brought the striker into the three-point line of CBU after receiving the ball. Facing Thomas' defense, he passed the ball to Carlo, and Carlo again Score.

"Hey! Did you see that! That black-haired kid just now is amazing! Wright was fooled by him!"

"Is it just a coincidence?"

It was another round of fierce offense, three consecutive offenses and defenses against the trend within 30 seconds, the audience outside the court sighed.

Nie Chuan cut into the opponent again with the ball. Wright was extremely fast and defended in front of Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan stared at the opponent coldly, the positions and possible movements of everyone on the field were in his mind.

Nie Chuan made a double tentative step from left to right, accelerated extremely quickly but stopped suddenly beyond Wright's expectations, passed the ball to Ewing, and scored again with a three-pointer.

"Haha!" Ewing showed a big smile, turned around and patted Nie Chuan on the shoulder, "Alan! Since you played at a high level, my outside offensive success rate has also increased!"

Nie Chuan let out a breath. At this time, he deeply realized the importance of a point guard.

Wright gritted his teeth, and Thomas patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be fooled by that guy, you are an old hand."

"Veteran... hmph..." Only Wright knew that his speed was suppressed by Nie Chuan's ball-handling ability.

The two confronted again, and Nie Chuan's speed did not weaken, but Wright was completely unsure what this guy would do, whether to stop suddenly and change direction, or to cut directly to the left and right. Nie Chuan ran closer and closer, just when Wright thought Nie When Chuan was about to cut sideways, Nie Chuan suddenly stopped in front of him and straightened up to shoot a jumper.

This height and arc can't score the ball at all!

Wright was thinking in his heart, only heard the sound of "bang--", it turned out that Montenegro received the rebound and directly smashed the ball to score.

When Wright watched Nie Chuan exhale, he realized that Nie Chuan was not a jumper at all, but passed the ball to Montenegro with a rebound!

Got tricked by this kid again!

Wright gritted his teeth, feeling the urge to beat up Nie Chuan.

"Hey, calm down." Thomas pressed Wright's shoulder.

Wright picked up the t-shirt and wiped his chin: "This kid can be considered by DK to replace Connor. He really is not an ordinary person."

Thomas didn't say anything more. When Nie Chuan dribbled past him just now, Thomas could feel Wright's anger.

Is it left or right?

Is it a side cut or an emergency stop?

Because of the existence of this kid, the whole DK's off-ball position has become more flexible.

The game continued. When Wright faced Nie Chuan with the ball, Thomas also came to the left side of Nie Chuan, as if to force Nie Chuan to dribble to the right and reduce his variability.

"Oh! Did you see that! Thomas and Wright are staring at that black-haired guy!"

"Bravo!"

"In that case, he shouldn't be arrogant, right?"

The pace of the game was so fast that Nie Chuan had no time to think about how many people were staring at him. All he could think about was where his teammates were and where his opponents were.

I saw Nie Chuan cutting the ball to the right with the stance of going straight to the penalty area, but in an instant, he dribbled the ball and took a step backward, instantly reducing the original rush rhythm, avoiding Wright's hand, and there was a sudden acceleration, Thomas stepped forward to defend, but Nie Chuan stopped abruptly sideways. Thomas swung his hand from his shoulder. Nie Chuan changed hands and passed the ball to Reese.

Reese brilliantly connected the two and scored a shot.

Everyone was stunned.

"...Have you noticed that there are two triangular arrays in front and rear with the black-haired kid at the center!"

"Yeah! There is a triangle formation with Montenegro and Carlo in front. There are Ewing and Reese outside the three-point line! Even if Wright and Thomas destroy one of the passing lanes, the guy with black hair can switch to the other side immediately ! It's impossible to guard against!"

Nie Chuan was looking back at Reese's neat and beautiful performance. Who knew that Rees turned around and rubbed Nie Chuan's head with his hand.

"Wow! Reece Reddington rubbing that guy's head? Are they on good terms?"

"Isn't Rhys Reddington always a loner? Didn't you find that he has been very cooperative with his teammates in this practice match?"

"Eh, yes!"

The spectators couldn't help talking in low voices, and the cheerleaders began to dance and shout slogans.

A tall figure stood on the sidelines with arms folded, looking coldly at Nie Chuan's back.

Nie Chuan shuddered, feeling as if his back had been cut by a blade.

He turned his face and saw Owen Whishaw standing on the sidelines with a cold smile on his lips.

"Is Owen here?"

When Nie Chuan and Owen's eyes met, the lethality of the other's gaze made Nie Chuan's knees a little weak.

Owen didn't care about the unsuspended game, and walked into the court step by step, heading towards Nie Chuan.

The game had to be suspended.

"Hey, Owen! You came so early, the first half is not over yet." Wright walked towards Owen.

Owen's eyes still stayed on Nie Chuan: "Wright, you let the team fall behind by so many points before the first half is over?"

Wright was dumbfounded.

Owen walked in step by step, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were so clear under the lights of the basketball court.

"I remember you telling me you were from St. Clair's, weren't you?"

Owen's voice was very soft, just like an English gentleman when he first talked to Nie Chuan.

But Nie Chuan felt deeply threatened.

"I... my middle school is indeed in St. Clair..."

"Then do you know that in order to meet you, I went to St. Clair Middle School to look for you last week, and I looked for you for a whole weekend?" Owen asked again.

Nie Chuan shook his head and retreated subconsciously.

Someone supported Nie Chuan's back.

"Owen, what's the problem?"

When Reese's voice came, Nie Chuan suddenly felt saved.

Owen looked at Reese with a half-sarcastic smile: "Oh——I just have a feeling that my treasure has been stolen by others."

ha?What kind of ghost metaphor is this?

"If you told me last time that the middle school student you fancy is Nie Chuan, I'm sorry, he is a student of DK. He has joined our basketball team for more than two months."

Owen let out a sneer, stretched out his hand and rubbed Nie Chuan's head, like rubbing his own little pet: "Ah... ah... how can this be so? How can you not be a middle school student if you are so cute?"

Just as Nie Chuan was about to refute him, "Ghosts are cute! Who told you that the cutest ones are middle school students!" Owen suddenly grabbed Nie Chuan's hair and lifted his head.

His scalp was sore and numb, and Nie Chuan met Owen's sharp gaze as soon as he raised his eyes.

"I said, why are your sudden stops and accelerations so familiar? Rees taught you, right?"

Nie Chuan felt that the blood in his whole body was about to stop, his heart seemed to be provoked high, and he didn't dare to fall, because once he fell, he would be pierced by Owen's sharp edge.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Carlo stepped forward and was held down by Owen's outstretched hand.

Ewing was also anxious: "Owen! Do you want to fight on the basketball court?"

The audience, who didn't understand what was going on, also talked a lot. The cheerleaders stopped shouting and dancing, and looked at Owen.

"Owen, this is a ball game, let him go."

Reese grabbed Owen's wrist, pinched his wrist hard, and forced him to let go of Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan staggered two steps back and was supported by Carlo.

"Ellen, are you alright?"

Nie Chuan didn't reply for a long time. It was the first time he had come to this country for so long and felt that the other party was really going to beat him up.

He shrugged his shoulders and let out a muffled sound.

Carlo froze for a moment: "Alan... are you hiccupping?"

Nie Chuan looked at Carlo and hiccupped again.

Ewing hurried over and patted Nie Chuan on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid! We are all here! Although I don't know what happened, Owen can't beat you, you know?"

Nie Chuan nodded, but was still hiccupping.

No way, he was really scared!

"Otherwise, eat a piece of chocolate?" Carlo hurried to Nie Chuan's sports bag, searched for a long time, found Nie Chuan's underwear wrapped in a plastic bag, and also found his ham sausage, but he couldn't find it his chocolate.

At this time, Owen had returned to the sideline indifferently, took off his coat, and said to the original shooting guard: "It's me."

"Are you really going to go?" the other party asked uncertainly.

"of course."

Owen walked to the field and glanced at Wright: "Leave that kid to me to clean up."

Wright sighed. He didn't know how Nie Chuan provoked Owen, but that's fine.

Owen is not something an inexperienced rookie can resist.

If he is unlucky, he will give Nie Chuan a little psychological shadow.

Wright narrowed his eyes and looked at Nie Chuan being comforted by Carlo, and said lightly, "Hey, Owen."

"what happened?"

"Break off this seedling."

Owen chuckled: "I always only love the little flowers and grasses I raise."

With the addition of Owen, the cbu cheerleading team is even louder.

Carlo had to regret why he didn't invite Lily to come with them.

Wright held the ball, and because Owen joined him, he was more assured of his speed. Carlo and Montenegro quickly rushed back to the basket. Wright passed the ball to Owen. Owen easily passed Ewing and came to Nie Chuan.His Wade Lost Step swings so far that Nie Chuan can't imagine. Nie Chuan was driven by the speed of the opponent to the inertia that he couldn't control himself, and fell to the ground. The feeling was like being hit by a meteor , I can't come back to my senses for a long time.

Owen's impact and disguised speed were like magic to Nie Chuan.

Owen continued to move forward, and Reese followed closely. Owen stopped suddenly and made a jumper, which made people stunned for a while.

"Wow! Did you see that the ball just spun really hard!"

"Nonsense, otherwise I would shoot a jumper on the spot without any preparation. If the ball doesn't spin well, how can I get into the basket!"

Nie Chuan sat on the ground, looking at Owen's figure in the air, elegant and unrestrained.

"It's okay, Alan!" Hei Shan came over to help Nie Chuan up.

"I'm fine..." Nie Chuan hiccupped again.

"...Why are you still hiccupping? Looks like it needs to be cured!" Carlo grabbed Nie Chuan, but immediately punched Nie Chuan on the head.

Heishan and Ewing were startled, and Nie Chuan looked at Carlo's fist on the tip of his nose stupidly.

"I heard that you won't hiccup after being scared! It seems to be really useful!" Carlo helped Nie Chuan to stabilize.

"You are crazy!" Ewing cursed.

Nie Chuan shrugged his shoulders and hiccupped again.

After two seconds of silence, Thomas not far away laughed loudly: "You can replace him temporarily..."

"We won't change it!" Carlo glared at Thomas.
