Chapter 3: Thunderous

The second afternoon of the second day between Missouri and Ohio State was held at Missouri's home court. The game started at three o'clock, and the stadium was full at 2:30 in the afternoon. The brilliant record of the past half season has greatly increased the team's appeal. All Missouri's home games were full. This game is no exception. Although the situation in Missouri's game is not optimistic due to the unexpected trident's wings, the more the team is in trouble, the more the team is cohesive, and fans come earlier than before. There are no empty spaces in the arena that can accommodate more than 10,000 people half an hour ahead of schedule. Many people can only stand in the aisle. Such attendance rate in a college game is enough to make some NBA teams jealous.

Of course, in addition to enthusiastic fans, there are also bad reporters who come to the scene. They hope to see Chen Junhao's failure in this game so that their report tomorrow can continue to whip and mock Chen Junhao. It is hard to blame these reporters for being so dirty. The media always wants to cater to the preferences of audience readers. Chen Junhao is now a public enemy.

The reporters all wanted to interview Chen Junhao before the game, hoping to get some more shocking information. However, Smith did not give him a chance, and the team did not accept any interviews before the game.

When Chen Junhao walked into the stadium, he looked around the seats near the stadium as usual. But this time, he did not find Cheng Haonan and Chen Yinghao. Like Chen Junhao, they also returned to China for Christmas together. They have not come back yet.

Xiao Shijie appeared on the bench in Missouri and sat with the coach, assistant coach and team doctors, which was not conspicuous.

The game is about to begin. The players of both teams begin to warm up.

When Chen Junhao took off his big T-shirt from outside and walked onto the stadium, a tsunami cheer suddenly rang in the stadium. Half of the fans of more than 10,000 fans at home stood up and shouted in unison: "Jack, Jack..."

Being in such a stadium, everyone is watching from all sides and cheering in his ears. This feeling can make people feel excited and passionate.

These thousands of cheering scenes are the best support for Missouri and Chen Junhao. The audience and fans are not influenced by the media, and they still support his heroes.

The cheers before this game belonged to the trident, but today when Jason Anthony and Mike Carman were absent, the cheers belonged to Chen Junhao alone.

Chen Junhao raised his hands above his head and slapped the audience in all directions to greet the audience. The cheers in the stadium responded to his greetings.

Here, Chen Junhao is a star!

Xiao Shijie, who was holding his arms on the sidelines, was slightly shocked. He did not expect that Chen Junhao would have such appeal and influence in Missouri and Columbia.

Can a college basketball player have so many fans? He is completely a superstar. Xiao Shijie is not a star chaser, nor is he very concerned about sports. In his memory, no star can get so many people cheering in unison when he appears. (In fact, he is ignorant. There are so many scenes of domestic stars shouting in unison when they hold concerts.)

What made Xiao Shijie pay special attention to was that even in such a scene, Chen Junhao's eyes were still very peaceful. From his expression, he could not tell whether he was excited or nervous. He gently picked up the basketball on the ground with his right foot, bounced up with a "pop" and then retracted it in his hand, dribbling the ball and began to warm up.

During the entire dribbling process, Chen Junhao did not perform fancy dunks at the request of the audience outside the court, and even did not shoot a few three-pointers. He dribbled, ran the basket, and occasionally shot a few mid-range shots. He seemed reluctant to waste more energy.

On the other side of the court are players from Ohio State warming up. Missouri often has huge cheers and cheers that make them very upset. In fact, no visiting team player would like to fight against opponents in such an atmosphere.

A stout black young man as thick as an iron tower in Ohio looked at Chen Junhao's back opposite, and a cold sentence burst out from his teeth: "This guy is so annoying."

Several Ohio players looked at each other and nodded together. A pretty pretty young white man looked at him and said, "Yes, this guy is really annoying. I have never seen men who are more beautiful than this guy, grandma, who are even more popular than me. There are so many beautiful girls in Missouri, and they are all cheering for this kid."

When the few people next to him immediately turned their heads and looked at the side, with their faces full of expressions of "I don't know this guy". However, the thick black player in the lead punched the handsome white guy's head and said angrily: "Idiot, don't confuse us with you."

The handsome white guy hurriedly hugged his head and hid aside, muttering, "It's not okay to ease the atmosphere just by joking!"

"Bastard, what kind of atmosphere should you ease up at this time? Warm up for me." The thick black man shouted, "Everyone listened, we must not lose this game. The last time they fought against them, they won more than 20 points, and we must win back this game... This time they only have one person left in their trident, which is our best opportunity. Don't worry about putting in the wrong and taking advantage of others' danger, just pay attention to the victory or defeat on the basketball court. This time we want to avenge us. Have you heard of it?"

"yse!" Ohio players answered in unison.

The Ohio coach on the off-court smiled and nodded, very satisfied with his captain's performance.

Warmup ends.

The players of both teams returned from the court, and after the head coaches on both sides announced the starting lineup, ten starting players on both sides were ready to play. However, when the players on both sides stood together in the center of the stadium, there was a slight uproar in the stadium.

The starting lineup for Missouri: Chen Junhao, Charlton, Bill Jefferson, Shanton Anderson, Ed Pinnik. Except Pinnik, the other four are all defenders. Three point guards and one shooting guard. The average increase is less than 1.95 meters. Chen Junhao, who has always looked very short in the team's lineup, actually seems to be the third-highest of the team this time.

On the other hand, Ohio center Nosinho has risen by 214cm, and both power forwards are also long men with a rise of more than 205. They are thick and burly figures like black towers. Both guards are also above 195. Scoring guard - the white handsome guy Nelson is Ohio's number one scorer. Captain Nosinho is also a center player with a number of major rebounds in the "Big Ten League". Rebounds, blocks, scores, and statistics are ranked first in the "Big Ten League". With a strong and powerful figure and solid basket skills, Pinnick has firmly taken the position of captain as the team in his junior year this year. He is truly the team's ace player.

Ohio and Missouri once in the first half of the season. The black and white center match between the two sides was once the focus of the gimmick of that game, but Carman had Chen Junhao and Anthony helping each other. With the skillful cooperation between the trident, the result of the two people's duel can be imagined. Missouri won more than 20 points, and Carman also won more than 10 points in the opponent. It can be said that in that game, Nosinho lost the showdown with Carman in an almost shameful way - in fact, how many opponents have played against Missouri throughout the first half of the season are not?

So although Carman was not there in this game, Nosinho's mood for revenge did not weaken at all. It was as refreshing as if he had hit the dog in the water. In the eyes of Ohio players, Missouri is now a sick tiger. If he doesn't take revenge now, he will have no chance to regret it in the future.

The players of the two teams stood up against each other, and the Missouri player led by Chen Junhao faced with his opponent in the form of looking up - the height difference between the two sides was too much.

Among the substitutes in Missouri, Yuduri is a strong center with a height of more than 210. Although he has never been able to enter the first team, he is also a leader in the second team. In the center position, his ability should be better than Pinnik, who is not as tall as a guest center, or others. After all, his burly figure itself is a huge advantage.

How could Smith ignore such a huge height gap? It is really incomprehensible.

The competition begins.

jump ball.

Nosinho's height was standing with Pink Nick, and the height difference between the two was ten centimeters. There was no suspense in the result of jumping the ball, and Ohio took the lead in obtaining the offensive power.

However, when Ohio's point guard borrowed the ball, a figure flashed in front of him, and the flashes of light flashed quickly past him. The basketball in his hand disappeared. He turned his head desperately and could only see a white figure sprinting towards his own basket with the ball at an astonishing speed.

Look at the number of the uniform behind it - No. 10! Missouri No. 10, Jack Chen, is known as the super guard of Missouri Brain.

"Return to defense, return to defense!" Nosinho shouted loudly, but it was too late. The figure suddenly jumped up, the basketball was raised above his head, and his slender figure was like a soaring goshawk with his wings spreading, gliding towards the direction of the basket. With a "boom", the basketball dunked heavily into the basket. The dunker grabbed the basket with one hand and swung high. This seemed to remind the audience how amazing the speed of the ball was just dribbling.

After letting go of his hand, Chen Junhao's figure gently fell into the clouds. He turned around and looked at him, "Boom!" A tsunami-like call suddenly sounded in the stadium. The shocking cheer seemed to suddenly appear from the ground, and the sudden outburst made people shocked.

Turn around and return to defense. With Chen Junhao's running posture, the huge momentum surged out from the sky and underground, which was very shocking in the eyes of Ohio players.

When Chen Junhao and Nosinho passed by, Nosinho clearly heard a sentence from his opponent: "Just say hello. I'm afraid you don't have the ability to win here." Chen Junhao turned around and left coldly, not caring about what Nosinho would react.

This is a provocation, a naked provocation!

"What an arrogant boy!" Nosinho was furious, his fists clenched and his blood surged, and the veins on his forehead burst out. His black face seemed to be even darker at this time. "Damn bastard, if it weren't for the court, I'd punched him in the head. Bastard, damn!"

The handsome white man Nelson whistled and appeared behind Nosinho, and said with a frivolous smile: "Boss, they are provoking. Wouldn't you be fooled so simply?"

"Bang!" Nosinho said angrily, "Do you think I'm fooled? Bastard!"

Nelson hugged his head and quickly flashed to the side, with a bitter face: "Then why did you hit me?"

Nosinho did not care about how many real ingredients were in Nelson's painful expression. His black iron bead-like body stepped forward and rushed towards Missouri opposite. His huge steps were stomping on the ground, and the floor seemed to be shaking.

Nelson thought to himself: Jack Chen, you really shouldn't provoke our captain. I can't predict what he can do when he is furious. With such a broken lineup, can you really beat us?

"Idiot, why are you stunned? Why don't you come up quickly!" Nosinho roared in front of him, waving his fists.

"Here, come!" Nelson rushed over.

Missouri's defense. Due to the lack of tall players in the inside, standing in position and playing position with opponents, Missouri will obviously suffer. The only way for a short lineup to fight against tall people is to expand the defense area, use fast movement, double-teaming, assisting defense, restricting the opponent's inside players from entering the penalty area, and restricting the opponent's center players from receiving the ball in the penalty area. Go around the front defense, keep going around, double-teaming, and constantly double-teaming. Except for Chen Junhao, the other four Missouri are substitutes. In this game, they will be more active and eager to perform than the main players who have no time to play in the main position and have no fear of playing time.

Missouri's defense is almost perfect!

Chen Junhao's position is still on the outside, and his opponent is Ohio's number one scorer, the handsome white guy Nelson. However, Ohio's current attack center is obviously not him. After several consecutive passes of the basketball, he finally tore through Missouri's tight defense and sent it to the inside Nosinho. Nosinho, who received the ball with his back to the basket, faced Pinnick's defense. Pinnick, who has been trying to get around the front defense of Nosinho, this time put the opponent behind him. Whether on the football field or on the basketball court, the passing speed is much faster than the human speed.

The difference in size between the two people is so huge that the result of the showdown can be imagined. Nosinho pressed Pinnik on his back, and his huge body pressed towards Pinnik like a mountain pressing down on him. Under such perverted pressure, Pinnik felt as if he was carrying an elephant.

"Swoosh, swish!" The huge body suddenly shook. Two consecutive changes left and right caught Pinnik, who was resisting the opponent's strange power, and his body had lost its center of gravity. "Swoosh!" When the huge body turned around, the huge rotation force flew out with Pinnik who had lost its center of gravity. "This ball is mine." Nosinho roared, and his huge body jumped high, holding the basketball above his head and smashed towards the basket.

"You are too naive." A cold voice sounded softly in his ears, and at the same time, the slender big hand quickly appeared in Nosinho's vision, and hit the basketball in Nosinho's hand with a "snap" technique. Then, the basketball hit the rebound and bounced high.

Block the cap!

Two figures in the air landed at the same time. Nosinho turned his huge body and looked at his dunk opponent behind him. From the number shaking behind his opponent, he barely judged his opponent's identity - Chen Junhao!

Chen Junhao? Chen Junhao, who is 20 cm tall, is that he!

The situation on the field did not allow everyone to have more time to sigh. The basketball that was bouncing high in the air had fallen, and several figures on both sides ran towards the direction where the basketball fell. With a "swoosh", several figures jumped up at the same time.

"Jack!" shouted in the air.

With his feet landing, he turned around, and accelerated his running, Chen Junhao's movements did not stop at all. When Nosinho tried hard to turn around, when the shout sounded, Chen Junhao's figure had returned to outside the penalty area.

"Come out!" Chen Junhao growled.

"Swoosh." Someone had already touched the basketball first among the figures jumping up in the air - it was just touched. Two big hands on the left and right were already grabbing at the same time. "Bang!" The hand that touched the ball was changed to a chapter

, with a palm, he hit the basketball hard. The basketball changed direction in the air, and a white light flew straight out of the three-point line.

A white figure flashed, and before the basketball landed, a figure had already arrived, and he hugged the basketball with both hands.

"Don't stop, pass the ball quickly." Chen Junhao's screams sounded again. The white figure who was originally planning to hold the basketball down and stabilized it, without hesitation and pushed the basketball out of his hands. The basketball almost flew over the opponent's blocked hands and flew straight to the opposite court.

There, Chen Junhao's figure was already ahead of him.

The basketball was flying high in the air, and ten players on both sides on the ground flew straight toward the opposite side as if ten sharp arrows were flying at high speed. Chen Junhao was naturally rushing in front.

Chen Junhao received the ball outside the three-point line of the court. He received the ball without dribbling and holding the speed of sprinting at a high speed. One step and two steps - already inside the free throw line - the high speed sprinting was like a fighter taking off, roaring high, and after reaching the highest point, he immediately turned into a dive bomber, "Boom!" The earth shook and accurately hit it.

The basketball smashed heavily into the basket. This time the dunk figure did not hang on the basket, and passed the bottom edge of the rebound that was close to the corner, and gently fell behind the basket.
Chapter completed!
