Chapter 7 Chen Yinhao's guess

One sudden change is enough to change the result of the entire game. The turning point of the game is so sudden that it does have accidental elements, but it is more of a gap in strength.

At the end of the game, the captains of both sides shook hands and greeted. Anthony said: "Maryland is a very good team, and we won this game not easily."

"Missouri is also very strong, and we are not unfair to lose." Martin no longer had the anger of the game at this time. "To be honest, I really don't want to meet you Missouri unless it is the final of the final next year."

Anthony smiled and said, "We don't want to meet you, Maryland, if we meet you, you won't have the energy to win the next game. We are worried about tomorrow's game now."

"No teams that can get here are easy to mess with, and so are others. We will return to school tonight and can't cheer you up. We will win tomorrow's game, whether it is North Carolina or Duke. I hope Missouri will win the championship more than them." Compared to North Carolina, the civilians in the two strong teams of Duke, Missouri and Maryland have a very grassroots complex.

Anthony smiled and said, "Don't worry, we must come on!"

Martin turned to look at Chen Junhao over there, and enviously said: "If that Chinese player was in our team, we would have won this game! I really envy you Missouri's good luck, and you can have three top players at the same time. I'm sorry to the Chinese defender for me, and I apologize to him for his rudeness before the game."

Anthony looked back at Chen Junhao, raised his hand to signal him to come over, and smiled and said, "Tell him yourself, Jack is not a narrow-minded person."

Chen Junhao walked over, Martin fell down and stretched out his hand: "Hello!"

"Hello." Chen Junhao smiled faintly, "Kiken-Martin, I will not forget this name when I meet next time."

"So, Jack Chen, Chinese Chen Junhao, I will remember this name. Sorry, I said something I shouldn't say before the game."

Chen Junhao smiled slightly and said gently: "It's okay, I regard that as your psychological tactic."

Martin was stunned and laughed: "Then I can't use this psychological tactic again next time." Everyone around and around smiled knowingly.

Missouri won the game, and Martin also won the respect of Missouri basketball team. Missouri easily advanced in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

After the first day of the game, Duke, Kentucky, Connecticut and University of Missouri advanced to the semi-finals. Last year's champion North Carolina was unsurprisingly dismissed due to too much strength. The second day of the quarter-finals became a major match without a home team.

The second round of matchup situation: Missouri vs. Kentucky, Duke vs. Connecticut. The game was played in the same stadium, Duke vs. Connecticut in the morning, and Missouri vs. Kentucky in the afternoon.

After the first day of the game, major sports media across the United States quickly reported the game in detail. North Carolina's fall, Duke's perfect promotion, and the strong contrast between North Carolina's two stars was the focus of media reports. The early encounter between the champion Connecticut and Duke is as valuable as attracting readers' attention. The hereditary giant Kentucky is still brilliant, while the upstart Missouri has risen strongly... After the quarterfinals in the media, there are too many topics to hype.

Missouri also received enough attention to the two grassroots nobles in Maryland, because the stars were shining in this game, and the ace players of both sides performed wonderful performances of super stars. Anthony scored 41 points, Carman scored 20 doubles (25 points, 21 rebounds), and Martin's quasi-triple doubles (27 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists) are wonderful performances that no media can ignore. This kind of appearance can only be seen in the NCAA field in the NBA, which is enough to make every media crazy pursuit.

"Jason Anthony performed a super offensive performance, and the NCAA's first striker was about to come out!"

"McCarman is crazy double twenty, and White Optimus Prime supports Missouri's strong inside line."

"Kicken-Martin's tragic hero, two fists can't beat four hands, and three doubles of data can't be won..."

Passionate reports interpreted the game into a wonderful battle between tigers and wolfs. Anthony, Carman, and Martin, these three star players who were already famous have established their status as NCAA star players. Chen Junhao's thirteen points and ten assists were also mentioned, but such technical statistics are undoubtedly much inferior to those three. How can the American media, who only looked at the data after the game, understand what role this Chinese defender played in the game. Only Chinese journalists really paid attention to Chen Junhao's performance in the game and gave high praise to them with great praise - ten assists, which is indeed the performance of a top defender. The lack of scoring in these media intentionally or unintentionally ignored it. No one seems to remember: Chen Junhao's reputation as a young emperor comes from his super offensive scoring ability.

The morning of the second day of the game.

Chen Yinhao and Cheng Haonan stayed in the hotel where Cheng Haonan bit the bread, took a cent of the newspaper, and read it while walking. After reading the sports version, he angrily threw the newspaper heavily onto the table and cursed: "What a fucking shit, no one mentioned Junhao in the report of yesterday's game. The reporters who wrote these reports either had problems with their vision or had problems with their heads."

Chen Yinhao had just finished washing and walked out of the bathroom, picked up the newspaper and looked at it roughly, and said, "It's not that I didn't mention it at all. Didn't this give Junhao a high score of seven points for his performance?"

Cheng Haonan recited: "'Jack Chen, thirteen points and ten assists, effectively revitalizing Missouri's offense and giving Anthony and Carman good support for the offense.' Is that just this sentence?"

Chen Yinhao looked down and said, "Yes, your memory is really good."

"Stop talking nonsense." Cheng Haonan said annoyed, "Don't you feel suffocating? Anyone who has watched the game that has been present can't ignore Junhao's performance. Without Junhao, Missouri could not win so easily yesterday. I'm afraid that he would not even win the game. Without Junhao's stop, Anthony and Kaman might not be able to perform even if they have the ability."

Chen Yinhao nodded, grabbed the bread brought back by Cheng Haonan and took a bite, and said, "The problem is that these reporters did not go to the scene at all. Four games were held at the same time yesterday. In the Missouri vs. Maryland, I didn't see a few American reporters except for Chinese journalists."

"Shit, shit!" Cheng Haonan Lian cursed in annoyed manner in Chinese and English.

Chen Yinhao took a bite of bread, threw the whole report back on the table, and said calmly, "This report is basically quite true. Anthony, Carman and Martin did perform unparalleledly. To be honest, the performance of these three people in this game is already the level of NBA All-Star players - I'm talking about this game. So it's no wonder that the media is so excited. And our Chen Junhao, who told him to take action so stingy, three of three three-pointers, two free throws (and two points were made by dunks). Although the efficiency is high, the score is too few, and the data is a loss."

Cheng Haonan sighed helplessly and said, "Junhao's score is indeed a little less. I really don't know what happened to that guy. Yesterday's game could have scored more points with his condition. Even one role player has more than a few chances to take action."

Chen Yinhao said nothing and thoughtlessly. Cheng Haonan looked up at him and asked, "What do you think?"

"Me?" Chen Yinhao said, "How could I know what he thinks?"

Cheng Haonan frowned and said, "I have been an old friend for many years. If you stick out your butt, I will know what you are thinking. If you move your ears, I will know that you have ideas. Don't hide it, tell me it."

Chen Yinhao laughed and said, "I really saw through you. But it's just my own thoughts, and I can't count it."

"I know, just say it."

Chen Yinhao pondered and sorted out his mind, and said, "Have you heard of a perfect victory?"

"What?"

Chen Yinhao gestured: "There may be many ways to fight and knock down the opponent, but there must be only one that is the most labor-saving and perfect. The same is true for basketball games. There may be tens of millions of ways to win the game between two teams, but there must be one that is the easiest and safest. Control the game and let the game win according to your own script. This is what every coach strives to do in every game. But the game still needs players to play. The coach's battle

The intention of the art is usually conveyed and achieved through organizational guards. In Missouri's tactical system, Junhao is not an ordinary organizational guard. He serves as the tactical core as the point guard. All tactical cooperation is carried out with him as the core. He has freedom that no other Missouri player cannot have, and can play with his own ideas, and his behavior directly affects the Missouri basketball team. So to a certain extent, Junhao controls the Missouri basketball team."

Cheng Haonan heard the eyebrows and tentatively said: "You mean Junhao is controlling the team to play according to his thoughts. What he is pursuing is 'perfect victory'."

Chen Yinhao laughed and said, "It's not that exaggerated. Perfect victory is just a saying, but it doesn't exist at all. I mean Junhao is trying to control the game. For a player like Junhao, how many points and assists he scores are no longer attractive to him, and Missouri is not able to let him attack as he pleases. Junhao was at ease throughout the game, and the entire game progress did not exceed his control. For the Missouri basketball team, he strives to guide the team's strongest attack power and strongest defense. For Maryland, he strives to maximize the opponent's blow, not only the score but also the psychological one."

Cheng Haonan expressed doubts and sneered: "Maryland is not a soft persimmon, so how can others control the game?"

"Maryland will certainly not do anything. But basketball games are about control and counter-control. Maryland doesn't want to or not, but they can't help them. In terms of strength, Missouri is above them. In theory, as long as Missouri has the advantage on the field, the situation is under Missouri's control. Think back, the even-match game lasts until the third quarter. Suddenly the situation took a sharp turn and Maryland suddenly opened up more than ten points, completely losing the chance of victory. Do you think such a change is accidental?"

Cheng Haonan said: "Of course, I don't think this is an accident. Before the game, I firmly believed that Missouri would win. Even if it wasn't at that time, I would open the score at other times. Isn't this the case for basketball games? But there is still a gap between you saying "control the game and perfect victory"?"

"But in fact, this sudden change is the result of control. Anthony and Carman, Missouri's firepower is already strong enough. Have you ever thought about whether Junhao's attack power would be strong in the first three quarters?"

"Yes!" Cheng Haonan slapped his thigh and said, "Why didn't Junhao attack before? These three people joined forces to cover the internal and external lines, and Maryland should have no way to defend. In that case, the victory should have been decided long ago?"

"In fact, that's impossible. Even if it's an All-Star Game consists of All-Star Game, the highest score is only 120 points in a game. If a player takes action, a teammate will always lose the opportunity to attack. Junhao invests too early to enhance the team's scoring ability but does not increase the team's scoring. Missouri firepower, with Anthony and Carman as arrows, is enough. Junhao's value is: when the team needs to score the most, give the opponent the most fatal blow at the most critical moment, causing the opponent's injury to change from cold to pneumonia, and from skin trauma to tetanus. This is what Junhao can pursue. Otherwise, just winning a game, with Missouri's current strength is too unchallenging for him."

Cheng Haonan nodded and said, "That's right, if the opponent is too weak, it's really not very meaningful to win the game." He suddenly looked up, "But Maryland is not a weak team. Is Missouri really strong to this level?"

"Of course not. But Junhao has it!" Chen Yinhao took a few bites of bread with boiling water, muttered and chewed a few bites before swallowing it. Cheng Haonan next to him urged, "Don't eat it, say it quickly."

"Let me take a few more bites!" Chen Yinhao muttered while biting the bread: "Did you pay attention? When did Junhao's eyes brightest during the game?"

Cheng Haonan thought about it and shook his head and said, "I have paid attention to this. Even if I pay attention, I can't see clearly even if I have the time to pay attention."

"The bright eyes are just a saying. When did I say that his expression was happiest?"

Cheng Haonan recalled that he was blocked by Martin in a dead corner, and other Missouri players stood by and watched by himself as a single player. At that time, Chen Junhao suddenly had a smile on his face. He was stunned for a moment and murmured: "It seems that he was forcing Martin into a defensive trap."

"That's right, that's when!" Chen Yinhao swallowed his last sip of bread, mumbled and drank a few sips of water, and burped, saying, "Maybe Junhao didn't notice it himself, even if he won the game, he didn't laugh so happily. Some people who play basketball pursue victory, while others are not. What Chen Junhao really longed for is not victory, but challenges, constant challenges, and fighting against masters and fighting against strong teams. For Junhao, Blake was not enough to fight with Maryland in the fight with Maryland.

As his opponent, Martin is Anthony's opponent. In terms of the overall strength of the team, Maryland is not an opponent that can completely burn his fighting spirit. Controlling the game is actually controlling yourself. When you can win the game with 70% of your strength, you will definitely not use 80% of your strength. This is what I mean by control. For Junhao, the better the teammates perform, the less effort he needs to use. If you can sit on the sidelines and watch your opponent win the game, it will not be for him.

It's a blessing. Breakthrough, pass, score, and not many times in the game. Do you remember how many times Junhao made during the game? Three three-pointers, two free throws and one dunk. When did these happen? When the opponent's momentum to pull the score just got up, he suddenly gave him a three-pointer. At that time, a three-pointer could play the role of two three-pointers. The combination of Blake and Martin succeeded in attacking continuously, and Missouri's aura

The momentum is overwhelming with the opponent. At this time, a powerful dunk will bring the momentum back up. Scores at these times have the effect that scoring cannot play normally. So I concluded that Junhao's moves are all choices. How many points, assists, and rebounds are all products under deliberate control. Before the game, set a goal for yourself, no more or less, and these are just adding a little fun to yourself without any suspense in the victory."

"How can such a ridiculous thing be like this?" Cheng Haonan couldn't believe it. After a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly, "But I seem to convince you!"

Chen Yinhao smiled faintly, picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip.

Cheng Haonan asked again: "But how do you understand so clearly? There are a set of theories, as if Junhao was talking here in person."

Chen Yinhao laughed and said, "Don't forget that I was also a point guard."

Cheng Haonan said: "Yes, your basketball is also very good." He suddenly woke up and said, "Did you do it like this?"

Chen Yinhao smiled embarrassedly: "Several times!"

Cheng Haonan looked at Chen Yinhao for a long time and sighed: "It's a pity for you to give up basketball. Although you have said this many times, you still have to say it again: It's a pity for you to give up basketball. If you are still playing basketball, you may not be worse than Junhao!"

Chen Yinhao smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it the same as sitting on the sidelines like now to cheer for Junhao? When I watched the Missouri game, I regarded Junhao as myself. To a certain extent, Junhao is my substitute!"

Cheng Haonan nodded and said, "It's all that. If you continue playing, you may be your opponents. At that time, we would not be able to watch the game together like we are now. I also saved you the trouble of not knowing who to cheer for when you two are playing."

Chen Yinhao laughed and said, "Who said no!" The two looked at each other and smiled.

After looking at the time, it was almost time for Duke to start the match against Connecticut in the morning. Chen Yinhao asked: "Do you go and watch the match between Duke and Connecticut in the morning?"

"Of course I want to see it, but do you have a ticket?"

"No!"

"What else do you say?"

While the two were talking, Cheng Haonan's cell phone rang, and he picked it up and saw: "It's Junhao!" What happened early in the morning? Cheng Haonan answered the phone: "Is Junhao? Time? Of course... is it true? OK, let's go there immediately..." Hang up the phone.

Chen Yinhao looked at Cheng Haonan with excitement and asked, "What's the matter? Are you so happy?"

"When someone was dozing off, someone gave me a pillow. Do you think I should be happy?"

Chen Yinhao said happily: "Does Junhao have tickets to enter?"

"He is waiting for us to come in front of the arena."

Chen Yinhao jumped up, grabbed his coat and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
