Strong Offense and Defense

Chapter 58 Applause sounded

Well, I also want to know how far I can go without Reese and Ewing in the face of league-level opponents?

Nie Chuan walked onto the basketball court flexing his wrists, and the second quarter of the game was about to begin.

Mr. Lynn has taken out the camera and is in the process of setting up the video.

In the auditorium, several students started discussing.

"Why are Reese and Ewing replaced? If they are replaced, is there anything to watch in this game?"

"Yeah, efu played in the second half with the main lineup!"

"No way, who wants this to be just a practice match? Let the main substitutes and other players have a chance to experience the league level."

Lao Bu, who was sitting opposite the basketball court, rubbed his chin: "It seems that in the second half, we will become DK's sharpening stone in reverse. It's just a good time to see DK's reserve strength."

As the whistle sounded, efu's small forward quickly passed Chuck's defense and faced Peter's defense.

He was about to pass the ball to his teammate in front on the right, but the ball was suddenly intercepted and taken away, completely unresponsive.

"Return to defense—return to defense—" efu's off-court players shouted.

At this moment, Nie Chuan had brought the ball into the opponent's three-point line.

"That black-haired one...so fast!"

Nie Chuan was about to make a layup, but faced the opposing center.This guy is much taller than Nie Chuan, and the probability of Nie Chuan shooting rashly and being blocked is extremely high.

However, Nie Chuan's jumping posture was not shooting, but passing the ball diagonally to the rear, and Carlo caught the ball and made a shot.

"Oh——" Carlo turned around and put Nie Chuan on his shoulder, "It's worth remembering! It's worth remembering! This is the first ball you passed to me in this game!"

Nie Chuan shrugged his shoulders: "Carol, you are too heavy."

After speaking, he ran back.

As he ran, he considered the situation on the field.It seems that his speed is really fast, and he has an advantage in launching a fast break, but without any preparation, only Carlo can keep up with his speed.Montenegro focuses on the defense of the basket. Peter's level is not bad, but the tacit understanding between himself and him is not enough.Although Chuck's scoring ability on the outside is not bad, it has been covered by Ewing's sharpness. I must create scoring opportunities for him to boost his self-confidence.

And Lao Bu frowned: "This defender is very fast..."

After all, efu is an old face in the league. After they learned about Nie Chuan's speed, they started to defend him one-on-one, and in view of Nie Chuan's height, the big center was defending him.

Nie Chuan really wanted to hold his face down. I had already grown taller, but I didn't expect my height to be regarded as a weakness by others.

He turned his face and looked in Rees' direction.

Rees and Mr. Lynn were sitting side by side, and Mr. Lynn asked, "Do you think the players sent by the other party can guard Allen?"

"No." Reese's answer was completely thoughtless.

"So who do you think they should send to defend Allen, or what tactics will be more effective to defend Allen?"

"If it's one-on-one, I'm the only one who can defend him."

Mr. Lynn smiled: "Are you too confident in yourself or are you blindly trusting Allen?"

Reese didn't answer, but just raised his chin, meaning: You can see it after watching the game.

Peter's dribble was surrounded by two opponents and passed the ball to Chuck.As soon as Chuck brought the ball into the opponent's area, he met the opponent's small forward. In a hurry, Chuck passed the ball to one side, but it was not his teammates waiting there, but efu's point guard.

"Oh... such a low-level mistake will happen!"

"This guy can't do it, replace him!"

Efu's point guard quickly drives the rhythm of the counterattack, and the entire striker draws closer to DK.

At that moment, Nie Chuan turned around and ran to the left. The defending center caught up with him and was about to block him, but unexpectedly he stopped suddenly and ran to the other side. Efu's center reacted and tried to chase When he went up, Nie Chuan had already thrown him off, and he was parallel with the opponent's point guard.

Peter also chased after him. Nie Chuan glanced at him and made a gesture of clenching his fist. He was not sure if Peter understood his hint.

Nie Chuan was always defending on the side of the opponent's point guard, and his speed and rhythm were consistent with the opponent's. The opponent did not get rid of Nie Chuan after several fake moves.

He was anxious, turned sideways and found that the teammate who came to meet him was defended by Peter, and the moment he turned around to bring the ball up, his hand was empty.The ball has been intercepted by Nie Chuan.

"Oh——" Qi Qi exclaimed from the auditorium.

Because Nie Chuan shot too fast, and at the moment when the opponent was distracted, he had a perfect grasp of timing.

Nie Chuan was about to speed up, and the opponent's small forwards and power forwards were rushing to defend Nie Chuan. Nie Chuan suddenly shouted: "Chuck—opportunity!" Chuck turned sideways, his position was almost unguarded .

But he is so far away from Nie Chuan...

Just when everyone thought it was just Nie Chuan's way of diverting the opponent's attention, Nie Chuan passed the ball. It quickly passed through the two players and was firmly caught by Chuck.

There was another exclamation of "Oh--" in the audience.

Even Mr. Lynn, who was holding a camera, was stunned.

Chuck took off with a very stable posture in the air, and he won the point without any suspense.

Nie Chuan ran over and grabbed Chuck's shoulders from behind: "Haha! Chuck, you are amazing!"

With Nie Chuan behind his back, Chuck showed a shy smile: "I... I didn't expect that no one would guard me!"

On the bench, Ewing, who was chewing gum, elbowed Reese: "Hey, Allen has really grown up and knows how to build confidence for his teammates."

It was only then that Mr. Lynn realized that just now Nie Chuan deliberately drew the opponent's attention to himself to create enough space for Chuck.

"His passing, the angle is very accurate, but you can't predict how fast he will pass the ball. From the guard's ability to handle the ball, he is already very good. But if a good point guard does not have a quick reaction Teammate, he can't use his scheduling ability." Coach Gordon said.

Mr. Lynn lowered his head and looked at the recorded screen just now, only to realize that the pass was not only fast, but also at a height that was difficult for the opposing player to react to.

Not only that, this three-pointer doubled Chuck's confidence, and then he hit two three-pointers in a row.

Although lacking inside and outside scorers like Reese and Ewing, dk has always kept the score gap with efu at double digits.

Old Bu's eyes darkened, and he stared at Nie Chuan's figure: "We have to find a way."

Nie Chuan exhaled. Chuck is not the only one beside him. Peter's abilities in all aspects are very balanced. Carlo's explosive power at the basket and Montenegro's rebounding strength have not yet had a chance to be used.

At this time, efu's off-court players shouted together: "Come on! Come on! efu!"

The momentum is not weaker than that of DK's cheerleaders.

Lao Bu stretched out his palm to the center forward of efu and made a pressing gesture, and the whole team understood.

As the game progressed, Nie Chuan quickly discovered that efu began to adopt one-on-one marking tactics.The center who was defending Nie Chuan also left and returned to the basket, competing with Montenegro.

Efu's point guard is a sensitive type, but it is not difficult for Nie Chuan to pass his defense. Two consecutive feints are so natural that people want to beat him, and easily break through the defense and enter the opponent's area.

But Chuck's receiving position is guarded by the opponent, and Peter has no favorable position.

Montenegro and Carlo were stuck at the basket, while the opponent's point guard behind Nie Chuan had already caught up.

Nie Chuan rushed to the basket without hesitation and prepared to shoot.

The opponent's point guard and point guard rushed up, but Nie Chuan still took off without hesitation.

"This kid is crazy—"

Nie Chuan's flying height exceeded the opponent's imagination, but this still did not guarantee that he would not make a mistake in his shot.

EFU's power forward and center were ready to rebound, but Nie Chuan took the ball back in the air, swung like a pendulum, and passed the ball from his side.

With a sound of "bang--", the ball passed the opposing center's waist and was caught by Montenegro.

Montenegro roared and dunked, and it was too late when the opponent's center turned around to stop it.

There was a tremor in the arena, and the audience followed suit.

Nie Chuan came to the basket and high-fived Heishan.

"Montenegro, how do you know that my ball was not a rebound?"

If it was a rebound, Montenegro did not have a favorable position, but when the opponent's center blocked Montenegro behind him and was ready to grab a rebound at any time, Montenegro moved to the outside, leaving room for Nie Chuan's pass.

"Because I know you. There's no point in taking a risk against two defenders and you still choose to shoot, so your shot is just a fake. Not just to fool the opposing defender, but also to attract the basket attention."

Nie Chuan touched the tip of his nose. It turns out that Heishan looks big, but he is actually very delicate.Moreover, he has been observing himself.

Suddenly, I feel that it is very lucky to have a low-key but careful and reliable teammate like Montenegro in the team.

But efu's one-on-one did greatly curb dk's offensive, and this kind of stalemate reflects their strong defensive ability.

Nie Chuan was dribbling the ball, and every time he attacked, he had to create a chance to score, which made Nie Chuan very nervous.

However, as long as it is a human defense, it is not impenetrable.

Nie Chuan let out a breath, and he glanced at Peter in front of him on the left.Although there was no communication with Peter, and he was always a little embarrassed because of the one-on-one at the pool party, but throughout the game, Peter stayed on Nie Chuan's flank, constantly holding back his opponent and creating a lot of room for Nie Chuan to move. .

Nie Chuan felt that such a serious and careless Peter became cute.

Efu's defense became more and more tight, and the rhythm of the game was slowed down. Nie Chuan became the opponent's key target. They deliberately blocked the passing angle between teammates and Nie Chuan, and there was another battle between Montenegro and Carlo under the basket. , The situation has been very tense. Once close to the basket, Nie Chuan knew that it would be difficult for him to find an opportunity to score.

Moreover, the tacit cooperation between their small forwards and shooting guards gradually emerged. Whether it was a lore inside the three-point line or a mid-to-long-range shot, DK was caught off guard.Seeing that the score was chased from double digits to single digits by efu.

Mr. Lynn, who was holding the camera, couldn't help but said: "Substituting a fast and offensive player like Reese, and removing a strong outside support like Ewing, to resist efu's main lineup, it really is...impossible, right? ..."

And the opponent's shooting guard took off again. If this three-pointer is made, it will bring a fatal blow to DK's morale.

At the moment when the opponent was about to push the ball, Nie Chuan rushed in front of him desperately and took off with all his might.

Everyone was amazed by his speed, efu's coach Lao Bu said in his heart: It's late, kid.

But the height of that jump exceeded the opponent's expectations. His fingertips touched the basketball, changed the arc of the ball, and hit the edge of the basket.

As early as when Nie Chuan shot, Montenegro was already fully prepared for the rebound. He was instantly stuck in front of the opponent's center forward. He made a loud roar when he jumped, and snatched the ball with force.

"Black Mountain!" Nie Chuan came to support, and Black Mountain passed the ball to Nie Chuan before being pinched by two opponents. It was obviously dk who was being defended by the opponent, but the rhythm was overwhelmingly controlled by dk.

When Nie Chuan received the ball, the opponent's point guard was already in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced over his opponent's shoulder and saw Peter.Sure enough, he was very close to Nie Chuan.Nie Chuan took a probing step, then backed away, opened the distance, and jumped on the spot.Even though he knew that Nie Chuan might be just a fake move, but he was still likely to make a shot from this distance, and efu's point guard had to take off to intercept it, and this was indeed a fake move by Nie Chuan. He didn't try his best to take off, but turned sideways. He dribbles behind him and sprints in Carlo's direction.

Carlo was also ready to catch the ball. Everyone in efu wanted to cut off the connection between them. Nie Chuan was very fast. The two players caught up to defend, but he missed the ball when he passed by Peter. He went out, but the others didn't react and still ran a step or two behind him.

The moment Efu's attention was taken away by Nie Chuan, Peter quickly cut to the basket and scored a layup.

The coordination of this ball is so exquisite, Mr. Lin En was stunned there: "I didn't expect that DK's tacit understanding is so high!"

Lao Bu squinted his eyes and looked at Nie Chuan's back. In fact, neither Carlo nor Peter was responsible for this goal, but Nie Chuan.

"It seems that DK has found a difficult character to replace Connor..."

But efu didn't sit still. The shooting guard and point guard who originally defended Chuck defended Nie Chuan together.

"Wow! Did you see that, efu sent two people to defend that black-haired kid!"

"That's for sure! Every time he passes the ball, he is so skilled that he can't even block it!"

"And it's super fast!"

"Fake moves are the same as real ones!"

"Didn't you say that replacing Rees and Ewing would be nothing to watch? Why do I think it's more interesting than the first quarter?"

Lily looked at Nie Chuan on the field and sighed, "How dazzling do you think he is?"

Celine smiled slightly: "Yes, he is very dazzling."

"Do you regret not accepting his feelings for you now?" Lily asked half-jokingly.

Celine shook her head: "I don't regret it, because it's not me who made him shine."

Facing the defense of two people, Nie Chuan turned sideways while dribbling the ball, so that he could focus on the two people at the same time.

Mr. Gordon nodded, and said to Reese on the side: "I was worried that the most practice he did was one-on-one, and his eyes were only on one opponent. But I didn't expect his vision to be very broad, not limited to on one person."

At this time, Nie Chuan glanced over the bench outside the arena, and there seemed to be a faint smile on Reese's lips.

When everyone thought that the defense of the two opponents would greatly limit Nie Chuan's ability, after three seconds, Nie Chuan made them realize how arbitrary his thinking was.

Like a tumbler, his Eurostep exceeded the expectations of his opponents. He directly passed both opponents, accelerated instantly, and rushed into the basket.

Everyone thought that he would pass the ball to Chuck behind him, and Chuck's shooting direction was instantly blocked by efu.As if Nie Chuan had predicted it in advance, he had no tendency to pass the ball at all, and jumped up with the ball.

That jump was as high as a slam dunk!

The audience opened their mouths wide, waiting for the bang.

The opponent's power forward and small forward both jumped up and blocked in front of the basket.

Just when everyone regretted that the ball could not be poured in, Nie Chuan turned his wrist, turned slightly sideways in the air, and sent the basketball out from under their elbows.

The basketball falls smoothly into the basket.

Nie Chuan's posture didn't feel distorted at all, and he even landed very smoothly.

With a "bang bang", the entire basketball hall suddenly fell silent.

The referee blows his whistle to signal the end of the game.

Nie Chuan exhaled, lifted the collar of his t-shirt, and wiped the sweat from his chin.

Suddenly someone applauded outside the arena. Nie Chuan turned his face and saw Rees.

His expression was indifferent, as if he had expected that Nie Chuan's goal would definitely score, but clapping his hands, this was the first time Nie Chuan saw him express his appreciation for someone so unabashedly.

Immediately afterwards, the audience applauded.

"My God! Can you see how he made that shot? I thought it was going to be a slam dunk..."

"But it's more exciting than slam dunk! He can jump so high! And he can adjust his posture in the air, which is amazing!"

"No matter where the basketball league matches this year, I will chase after it!"

Nie Chuan was so happy that he realized that he had scored the last goal by himself!He ran to Carlo who was closest to him, and hung his whole body on Carlo.

"Ha ha! Carlo! I've scored—you see it's not for me!"

"I see! I see! I was wondering when you, a brat, would be able to jump to the height of a slam dunk! But I didn't expect to be fooled by you again. It's not a slam dunk at all!" Carlo was also very happy. Hugging Nie Chuan, he jumped on the spot twice.

The efu players were silent, they understood very well that without Rees and Ewing, DK could still maintain the lead until the end of the game, how huge is the gap in strength.

And Nie Chuan's last goal has reached another level.

Looking at the video playback, Mr. Lynn sighed: "This reminds me of his K again. Not only does he handle the ball, he has the ability to play a small forward. I thought he would be a sharp guy, but Totally wrong. He hid his sharpness and cut through our expectations time and time again."

Coach Gordon remained silent.

This made Ewing next to him curious: "Coach, Alan's performance is so good, do you have anything to comment?"

Gordon asked Reese, "Is there something still on his wrist?"

"Yes. It's just a practice match, there's no need to remove it." Rees replied.

Coach Gordon smiled: "You are such a bad guy. You carefully tried to hide Alan's edge, but it's a pity that it's not so easy to hide."

In fact, Nie Chuan no longer remembered what was on his wrist after the game had been going on for so long, after he had devoted himself to it.

The coaches of both teams comment on each other's performance.

Coach Gordon expressed his appreciation for efu's defensive ability, especially some details of mutual cooperation, which were exquisitely pointed out by Coach Gordon.

And Lao Bu patted Rees on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that you didn't stay from the beginning to the end."

"If you show your strength early, maybe I will stay on the court until the end." Rees still respects the old cloth.

"Actually, I want to know how strong dk will be with an offensive edge like yours and that kid's ability to control the ball." Old Bu looked in Nie Chuan's direction.

At this moment, Nie Chuan was looking for chocolates from his sports coat.

"Hey, that's not right! I remember I put it here! Why is it missing?"

"Alan, what are you looking for? Tossing around like a groundhog." Ewing asked amusedly.

"I'm looking for my chocolate!"

"Really... I seem to see Reese giving Mr. Lynn a bar of chocolate..."

"That's mine... I specially saved it to eat after the game..."

Nie Chuan looked in Reese's direction sadly. Reese seemed to feel his gaze, turned his face sideways, and mouthed as if to say: What's the matter?

It's okay, it's okay...it's nothing...

"I hope there will be a few more practice games like this before the intensive training in October." Ewing stretched his waist, "I only played for a total of ten minutes, so I'm really upset!"

"Really? But I feel very good!"

Running with all his strength and trying to create opportunities, Nie Chuan felt that he liked basketball even more.
