Chapter 14 Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes



However, Coupard's change directly improved the team's morale and confidence, which made Benjamin feel that he should thank Stephen, and Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt also quickly integrated into the team's tactics. , showing a strong adaptability.

The tactics of American college basketball are very rich and varied, and there are often examples of recruiting high school star players with great difficulty, but failing to master college basketball tactics after arriving at school, especially for those black players with super physical fitness. Playing basketball more than studying since I was a child. In high school, most of them relied on their body and skills to play, and did not require any tactics, so they performed very well. But once they arrived in college, they were rejected because they could not integrate into the school's tactics. The coach gave up, because college basketball coaches have a relatively stable job, and they generally don't change tactics because of a player.

And the two players he selected this year are relatively smart, and they can master tactics very quickly. Coupled with Coupard's changes, he also has great expectations for this year's results, but he doesn't know the secret he has hidden What kind of role can Stephen play?

Every day Stephen is doing his own individual training. At the same time, he is also participating more and more in the team's training, but he never leaves the field. It makes those water fountain guards very strange. Since they don't play, they still secretly train every day. What, once they broke into Stephen's training ground with an excuse, and found that Stephen was doing normal shooting practice, but the shooting percentage was not as good as theirs, so they laughed and left, and never paid attention to Stephen again.

After such a long time, they also knew that Stephen's background was quite unusual, so they didn't dare to provoke Stephen casually. In addition, Stephen was able to recruit Coupard as a follower, whether it was money or other methods, It also made them very jealous, so no one dared to provoke Stephen.

This is college life?It's nothing. Stephen doesn't know how he got here, but he was able to adapt to such a bitter and boring training. Day after day, he kept practicing these very basic movements.

However, the training has corrected Stephen's non-standard habits in the movements he had learned before, and in the usual time with his aunt, Stephen also slowly learned his aunt's sharp-tongued but graceful manner. The way of speaking, in the words of my aunt, is: "Use words to make others angry, but you must not be angry yourself."

Soon, the time came to the golden autumn season, and the "Pizza Hut Classic" sponsored by Pizza Hut will soon begin. Ten universities including Polytechnic State University, San Diego State University, Napasca University, Northridge University, University of California, Riverside, and University of Minnesota participated.

Since the results of such an invitational tournament are also included in the score, it is also a basis for entering the championship, so no one dares to underestimate this kind of competition.

In the Pizza Hut Classic, USC surprised by going 86-59 in its first five games, going [-]-home and [-]-away, notably going [-]-[-] in Game [-] against Minnesota. The score of [-] won the victory, and the difference of [-] points made many media in California shout "Wolf is coming". In the Southern California school, the basketball team suddenly became the star of the school team. Attract a large audience.

In particular, Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt are known as the "USC Twin Stars", and Coupard's crazy state in the game, which is completely different from the previous performance, also It earned him the title of "Resurrected Fallen Demon".

After the classic game, Nick Young averaged [-] points per game, Gabe Pruitt averaged [-] points per game, Coupard averaged [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] blocks per game , Rebounds and blocks are the team's first.

In every game, Stephen sat quietly on the bench, waved the towel feebly like everyone else, and cheered for his teammates. Except that he would lean over to listen to Benjamin's tactical arrangements during the timeout, the other places were the same as those The water fountain guard was no different, so after the classic game, Stephen didn't attract attention at all.

Shi Xianghua originally said that he would come to see Stephen's game, but when Stephen told her that he would not play, Shi Xianghua was going to call Nicholas on the spot to question the professionalism of coach Benjamin, his nephew is so good, and he trains so hard , Why don't you even let us play? Is there any racial discrimination against us?

It was Stephen who explained again and again that Shi Xianghua let Benjamin go. No one else knew, but she knew it very well. Her nephew got up early every morning to exercise, and he had to train at home at night. Even on weekends, he also trained at home. , After training so hard, you can't even get on the field. Isn't it unfair? If you say you didn't perform well on the field, it's fine, and you won't even be allowed to play.

However, Benjamin also told Stephen that at the stage of the regular season, he did not intend to let Stephen hide it anymore, because the results of the regular season have a lot to do with it, so Benjamin decided that from the first game on, he did not plan to hide it anymore Hold on.

In this training session, Stephen officially changed into the team's game uniform and stood on the court. He is the shooting guard on the backup side. Nick Young was also assigned to this lineup as a small forward. Gabe Pruitt is on the main side, facing off against Stephen.

As the assistant coach blew the whistle, the intra-team match began. Stephen followed Gabe Pruitt for a few steps in a daze, only to realize after bursts of laughter. How hard is it to run on the defensive side.

The point guard on the backup side is called Eliasso. Seeing Stephen running around like a headless chicken, he rolled his eyes and started to tease Stephen. He was already a little dissatisfied with Stephen's extraordinary treatment. , Why can he accept the coach's individual training and guidance? It is reasonable to have a poor foundation, and his own foundation is not very good. Why is no one caring? Thinking of this, he shook his hand, and the ball immediately flew towards Stephen.

Stephen had just caught the ball in a hurry, and many people couldn't help laughing at his clumsy appearance. Gabe Pruitt stood in front of Stephen without letting go, and even stretched out his hand dishonestly. Forget about Stephen's kindness for buying him a hamburger just now.

Stephen was flustered for a while, and he didn't think much about it. He hurriedly returned his hand and passed back to Eliasso. Fortunately, the training for many days was quite effective, and the pass seemed to be decent, without any problems.

After receiving the ball, Eliasso grinned and dribbled two steps forward, then passed the ball to Stephen again. Gabe Pruitt just left Stephen and looked from a distance, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and prepared to pass the ball from the middle. Intercept the ball, cut the ball off.

Stephen naturally reached out to catch the ball quickly, stretched out his left arm to block Gabe Pruitt, and dribbled with his right hand twice, but found that there were defensive players standing in front of everyone, who should pass it to?

At this time, Eliasso ran to the corner of the court. Although he also took away a player and left a large blank space for Stephen, it made Stephen even more unsure what to do.

Fortunately, there was Nick Young on this side, and he hurriedly came out from the bottom line to meet Stephen, and after handing the ball to Nick Young almost like a hand, Stephen's heart relaxed.

"Don't be nervous, relax." When Stephen didn't have the ball in his hands, seeing that Stephen didn't even know how to move, just standing there, Gabe Pruitt comforted him in a low voice.

"Thank you." At the same time Stephen replied, Nick Young had already made a mid-range shot from a 45-degree angle on the left, scoring two points for the substitute team.

It's easy to say when defending, just follow Gabe Pruitt, prevent him from catching the ball when he doesn't have the ball, and prevent him from shooting when he has the ball. The job of defense is relatively simple compared to offense.

The opponent really regarded Gabe Pruitt's side as the weakness of the attack, and the ball soon came to Gabe Pruitt's hands. Gabe Pruitt changed direction and threw half of Stephen off. Just when he was about to attack with the ball, he suddenly felt that his hand was empty, and the ball disappeared without knowing when.

I don't know when Stephen had already made a surprise move and stole the ball from Gabe Pruitt's hands. Nick Young, who had been staring at this place worriedly, had already started running to the frontcourt. He also greeted Stephen.

As soon as Stephen raised his hand, the ball immediately flew high and flew towards the side of the court, but it was obvious that the strength of the shot was a bit too strong, but under Nick Young's relentless pursuit, it finally passed After catching up with the basketball in the penalty area, I saw Nick Young jumping high in the air, took off the ball with both hands and smashed it into the basket heavily. An alley-oop spanning half of the basketball court was finally achieved by the concerted efforts of the two. completed below.

After jumping down, Nick Yang excitedly bumped chests and high-fives with Stephen. Since it was a team training match, other people also came to express their appreciation or amazement, because Nick Young jumped too high at that time.

Only Benjamin shook his head at the side. Stephen’s pass just now was a bit too big, that is to say, Nick Young has good physical fitness, is young and has potential. This ball, but this is already a surprise. Whether it is Stephen's sharp steal just now, or the awareness of this long pass to launch a fast break, it all proves that he has great potential. Is he a bit picky?

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and a team is no exception, especially because Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt arrived and were robbed. Ganya Steer Kemal and John Rust naturally won't Participated in the celebration, especially John Rust, who didn't even have the chance to play. Off the court, he saw Nick Young, who was making a big splash, his teeth were itchy, and Eliasso, who was in the same grade as them and usually played together, naturally followed him. They stand on one ground.

Sports itself is a minority, and basketball is a minority among the minority. Seeing that someone is the best in the new book list, and I can only eat ashes behind, I feel really uncomfortable. I hope everyone will support me and move forward. Name is one.
