"The three-quarter game scored 94 points in a crazily manner, and Missouri swept Indiana..." Missouri's victory was quickly spread through the media. The TV station and newspapers reported the game in detail, and this time it was published in a prominent position in the newspaper.

The opponent is Indiana. There is no reason to question Missouri's strength in such a refreshing victory.

Missouri is very strong this year!

Almost all media have come to this conclusion.

But almost all media have given this argument in a unified way: "Missouri has internal concerns, and the battle for the ace threatens the survival of the team." "How far Missouri can go depends on how Smith coordinates the relationship between the two ace players." And so on. In the eyes of media reporters, Chen Junhao and Anthony seem to be incompatible.

When Anthony and Chen Junhao saw this report in the stadium, they looked at each other and threw the newspaper aside. The training the next day after the game was conducted, the two of them arrived at the stadium early before everyone was around.

Anthony smiled and said, "We don't know when we will be incompatible. Instead, these reporters know clearly, it's really strange."

Chen Junhao will throw the ball from outside the three-point line and said lightly: "No wonder, if you want to blame it, blame the coach for his artificiality."

Against Indiana, Anthony and Chen Junhao played for 20 minutes. The final technical statistics of both sides are: Anthony scored 21 points, eleven rebounds, and three assists with double-double. Chen Junhao scored 15 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds with triple-double. According to the technical statistics, Anthony won a little bit, but looking back at the entire first quarter of the game, Chen Junhao almost did not take any moves, so basically the two of them had the same personal strength. In the quarter led by the two, the team scored basically a draw. It can be said that both of them are absolutely equal in terms of personal strength and in the team leader.

Contact Smith's strange tactical arrangements in two games. After the game, he said something about it, "Jason and Jack are both top players in the National College Basketball League, and they both have the ability to be the team's aces." And so on, it is reasonable for the media to have such speculation. Coupled with moderate exaggeration and speculation, Anthony and Chen Junhao are incompatible. (Another side effect of media reports is that Chen Junhao's reputation has rapidly risen in the American college basketball world. "It can be compared with Anthony in all aspects" alone is enough to make American college students who have never regarded the MVP of the World Youth Championship remember the name Chen Junhao.)

Although he smiled at the newspaper's reports, Anthony was also full of doubts deep down.

What exactly is coach Smith meant?

Are you really the same as the media reports that you cannot be on the court at the same time? Do you really want to have an ace battle with Jack?

Anthony disagreed with the ace. In his opinion, the ace is not a ban or a position, it is a manifestation of a player's prestige in the team, and it is a common recognition of the player's strength by other players of the team. Of course, he also admitted that Chen Junhao's strength is not inferior to himself. But he does not think that who the ace between himself and Jack (Chen Junhao) will have any impact on the team. One is the forward and the other is the guard. Both of them do not have a conflict in position, and they can rely on the other side to complete the attack alone. Of course, the effect of mutual cooperation will be better. The cooperation between himself and Jack has always been quite tacit. Jack is not the person who has to complete the attack by himself, and he does not like to always control basketball. As for point guards and small forwards, his cooperation with Jack is a natural partner.

Anthony doesn't think that it's important to who is ace, and he doesn't even think that the title of ace is important. In comparison, he likes the team boss even more.

I am a senior, captain of the team, and the team's scoring champion. I am the boss of the team in any aspect. Anthony is very calm about this confidence and is even more willing to take it. Whether it is qualifications or strength, the boss of Missouri can only be himself.

Media reports did not make Anthony hostile to Chen Junhao. But coach Smith's agile attitude made him very puzzled?

What exactly does Smith mean?

Anthony is not a fool or a dull. Before the media pointed out this contradiction, he realized that when he and Jack were on the court at the same time, Jack always consciously restrained his edge and assisted other players in attacking as a pure point guard, especially himself.

Chinese-style humility! Although Anthony did not appreciate it, he also knew that Jack's active concession avoided internal disputes. Of course, Anthony was more convinced that this humility was based on victory. When the team was facing a crisis in the game, Anthony was very sure that Chen Junhao would stand up as soon as possible.

I should have continued like this. As long as Jack's organization is based on his and Mike's scoring ability, Missouri will be enough to sweep the NCAA this year!

But things went against their wishes, and the person who pushed them into the ace battle was his head coach.

What is the purpose of Coach Smith? Anthony couldn't figure it out and had to think to himself: the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge, and the coach will arrange everything.

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..." One by one, basketballs fell into the basket accurately. Looking at Chen Junhao who was practicing shooting with all his attention, Anthony suddenly had this idea: he had extraordinary scoring ability and the ability to organize the entire team, Jack was more suitable for being the core of the team than himself! After this idea arose, Anthony himself was also shocked. When did he not feel so unconfident? Did he also bewitched by the media and believe in the "Jack threat theory" nonsense? Anthony tried hard to drive this idea out of his mind, but since this idea came into being, he immediately occupied a corner of his mind and could not be driven away.

While Anthony was thinking about it, the last basketball beside Chen Junhao had already been shot. "Swish!" As usual, he walked through the basket steadily. He bent down and picked up the basketballs and sent them back to the baskets that were loading the balls. Anthony was stunned and Chen Junhao said, "Don't be standing there, help clean up the balls, everyone is coming soon."

Anthony came back to his senses and said repeatedly: "OK!" He bent down to pick up the ball and threw the ball back into the basket one by one as Chen Junhao.

"Jack." Anthony suddenly said.

"Um?"

Anthony hesitated for a moment and asked as tactfully as possible: "Did you give in to me on purpose during the game?"

Chen Junhao was surprised and said, "Why do you think so?"

Anthony shrugged and said, "When you and I were on the court at the same time, you rarely saw you shoot by yourself."

"It's because of this?" Chen Junhao laughed, "When have you been so unconfident? Do you still need others to give in with your strength?"

"No!" Anthony said decisively, "Of course I don't need others to give in. But I don't understand why when we are there at the same time, you are always so low-key. You can perform better!"

Chen Jun sighed: "You still mind these reports. Don't you understand that with your status in Missouri and your reputation in the NCAA, you don't need to prove anything to the media."

Anthony said: "I don't care about media reports at all. I don't want to be an obstacle for you. I don't want you to be unable to show off on the court because of my relationship."

Chen Junhao laughed and said, "So that's it, but you misunderstood. As a forward, you control the game by scoring. As a guard, I control the game by controlling the shooting of my teammates. The scores of you, Mike and Rick have no direct relationship with me and have an indirect relationship. Combine the formation, break through the pass, and allocate every offensive opportunity. Even if you don't take action, the team's victory is closely related to me. I really enjoy this feeling of controlling the game."

"Control the game?"

"Yes!" Chen Junhao raised his head and said, "Swoosh!" with a sound, he sent the last basketball into the basket, "Just like a basketball knows it will go in. A point guard's greatest achievement is to guide the team to win in his own way. On the way to the goal of victory, I can shoot my own or choose to hand the ball over to my trusted teammates to complete the shot. When you are on the court, I chose the latter. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"

"Satisfied, of course, satisfied." Anthony smiled bitterly, "it just sounds like I'm a pawn in your hand."

Chen Junhao laughed and said, "Haha, do you think it's not?"

"Nonsense, of course not." Anthony said.

...

Before the other team members arrived, they saw Chen Junhao and Anthony, talking and laughing while practicing. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious. After reading the media reports, everyone who was a little worried suddenly felt relieved.

After coach Smith arrived, he didn't seem to have any awareness of the undercurrents caused by himself. All training will be the same. If you have to find something different from usual, today's training tactical drills have been reduced, Smith shouted more times and his voice has become much louder.

"Jason Anthony!" Smith shouted with his first and last name and showed that he was very annoyed, "Bianjiao, Bianjiao, how many times have I said, use your ability to move to Bianjiao..."

"Jack Chen!" This time it was Chen Junhao, "Strengthen the breakthrough, strengthen the breakthrough! Jason covers you on your right..."

"McCarman, run, run, don't stay at the basket and be reluctant to come out!"

...

This level of roar is common in Missouri's past training, and it is not surprising that Missouri's training is orderly, the team is full of morale, and the atmosphere in the team is normal. This makes many reporters who are preparing to watch the good show in Missouri very surprised.

Three days later, the final of the Classics. Everything seemed to be a replica of the previous game. Anthony and Chen Junhao each led a quarter of the game. In the end, Missouri introduced the game with a huge advantage of more than 20 points. Three consecutive wins, Missouri won the first championship of the new season. (Of course, the weight is a little lighter.)

After the game, while marveling at Missouri's victory, the media once again focused on the contradictions within Missouri in the same caliber. "Missouri's big victory over his opponent shows strong strength." "Internal contradictions limit the team's progress." Almost all newspapers reporting this game hold the same view: Missouri's opportunities and crises coexist.

Smith is indifferent to these Chen Junhao, while the rest of the team cannot help but be influenced by the anger and whisper in secret. Anthony himself doesn't care much about these reports, but as the captain of the team, he has to care about the morale of the team and the emotions of the players.

That night, Anthony opened the door to Smith's dormitory.
