Chapter 5 leads each game (middle)

"Counterattack!" Anthony led everyone to attack quickly. "Pass the ball to me!" After the three-point line, Anthony took the initiative to ask Charlton who was in charge of the ball.

Charlton did not hesitate at all, and pushed the basketball straight with his hands to Anthony Davis, and Cassel stepped forward and double-teamed. Anthony turned left, shook right, and suddenly rose up and raised the basketball high above his head. "Swoosh!" The basketball slid across a wonderful arc under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators on the scene. "Swish!" It accurately passed through the center of the basket and fell steadily into the basket.

"Boom..." A shocking cheer suddenly sounded in the stadium. The thunder and tsunami cheer made many people storm and waves hit the cliff, and the cliff was shaking. Chen Junhao, who sat off the court without any fear of the result of the game, truly felt the power of the audience's cheers for the first time. But his first feeling was that he couldn't help but worry whether the stadium was shaking and whether it would be shaking in the shaking cry.

He completely ignored the opponent's double team and also ignored the tactical cooperation. He had to kill with one blow with a hundred steps, and quickly used thunder to quickly defeat the opponent's just rising momentum. This is Anthony's counterattack, this is the performance of the ace player, and this is the style of the leader.

Such a performance looks so familiar. Once upon a time, wasn’t Chen Junhao leading his team to continue to move forward again and again? Jiangchuan team, National Youth Team, and National Team!

Now, I can only sit off the stage and watch other people's performances.

With his eyes chasing the figure running on the field, Chen Junhao felt a sudden chaotic aura rushing in his chest, extremely bored.

Starting from Anthony's goal, Missouri opened a frenzy of scoring frenzy. The players led by Anthony gradually got into a better position and felt hot. Mid-range shots, long shots, layups, hooks, throws, "swish, swish, swish..." As if the god assisted shot, it would hit. Naturally, Anthony is always the best. On the court, he can often be seen getting rid of one or two opponents and getting up and sending the ball into the basket.

Although Smith's guidance did not immediately disintegrate Indiana's offense, it added many difficulties to their three-man tactics. The ball could not enter the inside line, and they chose to pass the ball from the outside, and shot after the neutral was in sight. "Click, snap..." missed, and successively missed. Continuous mid- and long-distance shootings were missed. Their ace Davis dribbled the ball himself, but repeatedly missed the shooting due to Anthony's press.

The privilege of ace players is that they can completely ignore tactical cooperation at some point!

The obligation of ace players is that when the team is in trouble, they should lead the team forward through personal powerful means when they are in trouble.

Anthony did it, but Davis didn't, and the gap between the two immediately emerged.

With one increase and another decline, Missouri scored a 10:0 climax within two minutes of the last half, pulling the score to 20 in one fell swoop.

60:40, this is the last score in the first half.

The score of 60 points in the first half game almost makes people wonder if it is an NBA game. Even in the NBA, only a few teams with super attack power can do it.

After the referee blew the whistle of the midfield pause, the players on both sides temporarily returned to the locker room to rest. The opponent's coach had a blue face and was worried on his face. Smith was silent here, neither showing joy nor dissatisfaction.

Back to the locker room.

"Everyone played very well in the first half." Smith's opening remark made the players who had just fought on the court look happy and even proud.

"But it's not good enough." Smith obviously didn't want the players to be too proud. He turned his eyes and glanced at him for a week and said, "Jason, tell me how many times have you been double-teamed by more than two people when you got the ball?"

After announcing, Anthony shook his head and said, "I don't remember it, but I haven't had many more times."

"Mike, how many times have you had to break free from the opponent's entanglement and run to the outside to catch the ball?"

"It seems that there aren't many times." Kaman replied decisively.

"Rick (Mario), tell me how many times are you pressed when you are on the outside?"

Mario shrugged and spread his hands and said, "I'm afraid I don't have enough weight to send someone to press."

After three consecutive questions, Smith said solemnly: "We got sixty in the half, and our offense is indeed very good. But if Indiana's defense is not too bad, have you ever thought about how much discount the sixty will be given?"

No one answered.

Smith continued: "Our defense gave them 40 in the first half. If we doubled the game at this ratio, we would give our opponents 80. Have you ever thought about how many teams in the NCAA's annual championships have average scores of more than 80? Indiana is not a top-notch team in the NCAA, but there are at least three teams of Indiana's level in our Big 12. Looking at how many opponents in the United States are not inferior to Indiana, have you ever calculated?"

Everyone still didn't answer. Only Chen Junhao laughed in his heart: Isn't your head coach intentionally indulging in his opponents?

Smith glanced over Chen Junhao's smile-like expression, as if he hadn't seen it, and sat upright and solemnly, "This game has not ended yet, it's too early to be proud. Even if we win this game, you must know that we are still far from the goal. After the second half, Indiana will definitely fight back frantically. As long as they don't want to give up, they will definitely defend and attack with all their strength. It is possible to press the whole game and double-team joint defense. Are you all ready?"

"It's ready!" the players answered loudly.

Smith nodded and said, "Very good." After glanced at him for a week, he asked, "Who has the strongest breakthrough ability in our team?"

Everyone looked at Chen Junhao.

"Who has the strongest passing ability?"

Everyone's eyes were still looking at Chen Junhao.

"Very good!" Smith looked up and down Chen Junhao for a while, and suddenly said, "Jack, how tall are you?"

"One hundred and eighty-seven centimeters."

"No, you are at least 190 centimeters tall in my eyes. Frank measures his height."

The team's assistant coach took out the tape measure (I really don't know how the assistant coach would carry these things with him) and measured Chen Junhao for a while and reported the data: "One hundred and ninety-two centimeters (the height of the sneakers)."

Chen Junhao touched his head in disbelief and said in surprise: "Have I grown taller?" The others did not feel particularly surprised, but they also congratulated each other.

After everyone finished speaking, Smith continued: "Barkley, one of the best power forwards in NBA history, is only 193 cm tall (unofficial data). Jack is no longer necessary to limit your position to the defender with your bounce. Try the small forward position. In the second half, you will take the field instead of Jason and attack the forward!"

Smith turned to Anthony and said, "After the second half, Jason, you stay on the bench, Jack, you come on the court." He turned to Chen Junhao and said, "My only requirement for you is that you have no requirements. Do your best to play. You can play as you wish, pass, assist, break through, and layup yourself... There is no limit. I hope to see a real Chen Junhao, the world youth league MVP Chen Junhao, all the strength of the world youth league MVP."

Chen Junhao, who was still immersed in the joy of growing taller, nodded excitedly.

Smith continued to make tactical adjustments and said: "The point guard is still Charlton. Rick comes off the court and Markle comes on the court. Paul gets off Arroyo. Mike, you stay on the court and help Jack in the interior."

All the players who gave the name aloud responded loudly.

Macri and Arroyo are the best among the substitutes. Generally speaking, they are the first substitutes in various positions. The lineup they are lined up is indeed the strongest lineup outside the first starting lineup.

Smith finally shouted: "Our goal: to leave the opponent the whole trash time in the fourth quarter to recover the score and get face."

Everyone answered with a loud bang: "Ysesir!" No one felt that Smith's arrogant target was inappropriate. They looked like they were screaming and preparing to pounce on their prey.

The second half begins.

Cheng Haonan in the stands saw the starting lineup of Missouri and said happily: "It seems that Missouri is going to take Junhao as the core. It's Junhao's turn to show his power."

Guo Caini said: "No matter whether he plays or not, Missouri will still win in this game. Why are you so happy?"

Cheng Haonan said: "Of course it's different. Of course, the most important thing for us to watch the Missouri game is to watch Junhao on the court. Why should we watch the game on site?"

Chen Yinhao said: "The situation is not that simple. I fell behind 20 points at the end of the first half. As long as Indiana still has a little bit of desire to win, he will fight back frantically. Junhao's pressure is not easy." He sighed slightly, "I know what the Missouri head coach is thinking. I hope he doesn't urge him too much."

Zhou Xianya said nervously: "Will Missouri lose?"

Chen Yinhao shook his head and said, "It's not enough to lose. What I'm worried about is whether Smith will backfire. Referring to the last game against the Tornados, looking back at the first half just past, I think Missouri was Anthony and Junhao leading the team to play for ten minutes each. This is the intention of comparing the two players in the game. Smith is intentionally making the contradiction public. Chen Junhao and Anthony's two top players should be the core and leader? I think a newspaper will raise this question after this game. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and a team can only have one leader. Anthony and Junhao may have to have a battle for the ace position."

Cheng Haonan shouted: "Damn, is Smith's head in his head? Where can the coach take the initiative to pick up the team's civil war?"

Guo Caini also said: "What exactly is the Missouri coach doing?"

Chen Yinhao smiled bitterly and said, "I think he also wants to resolve the conflict between Junhao and Anthony. But his methods are a bit fierce and extreme."

Cheng Haonan smiled: "It's indeed extreme. He is not only exposing the problem, but even adding fuel to the fire."

Zhou Xianya, who has been silent, said: "I think Smith should believe in his ability to control the team and his players. Although Smith is an alternative coach, he is not a reckless person."

Chen Yinhao nodded and said, "Yes, Smith should have confidence in his players. Anthony was cultivated by him, and Junhao is a modest person who is not enthusiastic about the ace position. The situation should basically be under Smith's control. But no matter what, Missouri is holding a double-edged sword. This ace battle is nothing more than two results. The good result is of course the exposure of the contradictions will help resolve the contradictions. If the relationship between these two people in the team is coordinated, Missouri's combat power will be improved again. As for the bad result, I don't need to say you can imagine it."

Everyone nodded slightly, and everyone tacitly understood.

After a brief silence, Guo Caini said: "Okay, let's not worry about it here. The most important thing now is the game in front of you. What is important is what Junhao performs in the next game. Since everyone is here to cheer him on, don't be lazy."

Everyone smiled slightly and turned their eyes to the stadium.

PS: I just remember that February is only twenty-eight days, and it will be updated again this month.
