Chapter 3 Overtime Performance (Part 2)

Replace all the main players at once, just like Smith, Duke Lao K is actually a helpless choice. If the main players' physical strength is about to bottom out, who wouldn't want to use their main players to bully the opponent's substitute to win the game in one fell swoop?

Seeing that the Chinese defender stayed on the court, Lao K was shocked and terrified at this moment: Isn’t that Chinese tired? As a top coach, Lao K naturally understood what an excellent point guard meant to a team. With that Chinese man on the court, Missouri had a soul and a backbone, and the combination of the five people was no longer a substitute, but had already had the prototype of a strong team, a super strong team.

Such an opponent is obviously not what Lao K likes.

Of course, in terms of lineup, Duke's lineup on the field is undoubtedly much more luxurious than Missouri. Four of the five players are the best newcomers in each region - one of the best high school students in California, two All-American high school students All-Star players, and one of the best young players in Europe. Plus the experienced and calm Bogans, the combination of these five people can be described as luxury. This year's North Carolina will not be more powerful than the combination of these five people. It can be said that this is a strong team.

The collision between a strong team is always inevitable with the hot scene of Mars shooting.

Missouri is controlled by Charlton, trying to slow down the pace of the game as much as possible. This is what Smith considered for Chen Junhao. Whether now or when all the main players are present, Chen Junhao is the unstoppable tactical core and is an indispensable key. He must leave time to breathe and retain enough energy to cope with the hard battle in the last time overtime.

Chen Junhao was very grateful for the coach's considerateness, but at this time the attacking Yu was filled with his brain, and he had no intention of stopping to rest. When it was Missouri's turn to attack, he took the lead and attacked first. The others around him looked at him and hurriedly chased him. Charlton, who was dribbling the ball, looked at Smith outside the court, and Smith hesitated for a little. At this time, Smith decided to believe Chen Junhao.

After Charlton encountered a blocking, he passed the ball to Chen Junhao. The ball was handed over to Jack and the offense was organized by Jack. This is a mark that penetrated into the hearts of every Missouri player.

Chen Junhao controlled the ball, and Pavaro and Winston stepped forward to double-team. These two high school leaders were as rebellious and confident as all other high school geniuses. They always chose to take the initiative to meet the strong opponents rather than escape. The strength Chen Junhao showed in this game is undoubtedly a top-notch superstar. It is not the first time that Duke broke through the two of them at one time, but these two people were still confidently facing the enemy.

Charlton covered the ball at a high position, Chen Junhao dribbled the ball and accelerated, as if he was going to break into the inside line with a pick-and-roll. The two young defensive players retreated and moved to the inner circle to guard the guard, but they were in a hurry to stop taking the ball and jumped up to shoot. The basketball passed over the top of the two people and plunged into the basket!

Three-pointer!

At this time of the game, you can still maintain such a stable long shot, which is definitely the result of repeated training. The more you are tired, the more you can reflect the effect of your daily training.

"How is it?" Anthony said.

"It's really jealous. This guy's physical strength is so good!" Kaman muttered.

Smith looked back at the two of them and said, "You usually have Jack and you can work hard, and your physical fitness can be as good as him."

Everyone was speechless.

Duke strikes back.

Even with the lineup composed of second-tier players, Duke still maintains strong pressure like their predecessors. The only thing Missouri can do is to run and double-team to assist in defense without hesitation. Chen Junhao, who has played a full game, has to restrain his movements to preserve his physical strength. When defending, he retreats to the inside and participates in joint defense in the penalty area. Arroyo and Charlton move on the outside. They are still typical three-and-two mixed joint defense.

Duke players accurately saw Chen Junhao, who consumed the most physical strength and was obviously not as tall as the inside player's standard "defensive loophole".

Pick-roll, pass, cooperate, cooperate, pass, and quickly pass. Duke's pass and receive cooperation are always so exquisite. The ball was finally passed to Boggins (the best high school player in California), and he faced Chen Junhao.

The two people have a height difference of 10 cm and a lot of weight. They are not of the same level of body shape at all. One-on-one, Boggins decided to beat Chen Junhao.

Is there a loophole in the defense? Retreat, then withdraw, Chen Junhao, on the penalty area line, stepped back step by step as his opponent pressed down, seemed to be completely at a disadvantage with the strong pressure of his opponent's body.

Boggins stepped into the penalty area, the basket was right in front of him, and the victory seemed to be in sight, "Bang!" The basketball retracted his hand and raised it over his head, and he shot!

"Swoosh!" Perfect shooting arc, "Bang!" A hand suddenly popped up and knocked the basketball away heavily, blocking the shot! Boggins, who was jumping in the air, was shocked. The opponent who cut the basketball in the air was a ten centimeters shorter than him - Chen Junhao!

In the competition for the outside, Charlton was the first to grab the basketball that hit the ground. The moment the two of them in the air confrontation in the inside fell to the ground, Chen Junhao was the first to start and accelerate. When Boggins completed the turn, he was thrown away one position.

What a fast speed!

"Pass!" Chen Junhao, who was running straight, rushed out from the inside but rushed through the midfield in front of everyone, shouting at Charlton while running. Charlton would never doubt Chen Junhao's orders. During the dribbling, the right hand holding the ball was raised high, and the basketball was thrown high, and an arc passed through the heads of everyone while running and flew towards the opposite basket.

Running, accelerating, and seeing the right place of the basketball, Chen Junhao's speed increased again - it turned out that he had not run at all. Speed, wind-like speed, the audience blinked and watched the white figure appear under Duke's basket. Then blinked and the figure was already holding the basketball with one hand and dunking the ball into the basket.

"Beautiful!" Kaman, who was slumped on the chair outside the field, jumped up, and his tightly clenched fist excitedly, regaining again. From his neat movements, the excited expression on his face could not be associated with the person who was slumped on the chair like a dead fish just now.

There was a burst of laughter in the stadium, cheering and applause. The clever reporter had already taken the entire attack process as the camera flashed with a "click, click" and the clever reporter had already photographed the entire attack.

On the court, Chen Junhao and Charlton squatted and celebrated, while the other three people also held their right fists high to greet each other.

Return to defense, change position on offense and defense.

Lao K, who had been silent outside the court, finally couldn't help but speak out, and stood on the sidelines and shouted: "What are you doing? Be cautious, this is the final." Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with his players' behavior of provoking Chen Junhao. In Lao K's opinion, some players will not turn from lions into sick cats even when they are in no state. Don't have the idea of ​​"take his life while he is sick". Chen Junhao is just a little tired. If he wants to rest, he will rest. He is too stupid to take the initiative to provoke him without having time to comfort him. Lao K also had the idea of ​​trying to exhaust the physical strength of this Chinese defender and let the trident make Missouri lose his core, but his experience as a professional coach made him understand: there is absolutely no problem with this Chinese defender to support him for another five minutes.

After giving Lao K a angrily shout, the young and energetic Duke rookies finally calmed down, and Boggins's encounter also made everyone understand: this is not a defensive loophole, but a fatal defensive trap. If you can avoid provoking it, try not to provoke it.

Duke's advantage is the players' superb technical and tactical literacy and the team's tactical cooperation is exquisite. After yelling at Old K, the rookies calmed down their minds, followed Old K's previous tactical arrangements, actively passed and received the ball, dazzling running position, and exciting pick-and-roll cooperation. The rookies' lineup also perfectly demonstrated Duke's gorgeous, smooth and efficient offense.

Pick-and-roll, pass, pick-and-roll, suddenly lifted the inside line, and slender figures bounced high under the basket, receiving the ball in the air, spinning 360 degrees, and "booming" the dunk with his left hand.

The dunk was Boggins, who used this wonderful goal to save face for his mistake just now. Duke fans expressed their tolerance to the young genius with huge cheers.

Although Chen Junhao is great, as a defensive player, all he can do is to defend his position. Apart from Chen Junhao, Missouri's defense can be called "loops everywhere". It is too difficult to do what the main players cannot do.

The defense cannot do it, get it back from the offense. Chen Junhao smiled at his frustrated teammate and said, "It doesn't matter, who scored more goals in basketball games, not who scored fewer goals. Let's just play back." His faint encouragement, the faint smile on his face was like a heart-boosting agent, which swept away the depressedness and frustration on Charlton and others' faces.

Charlton, who was in charge of the ball, excitedly said: "Let's give him a ball. Everyone get it!"

...

The game continued with exciting and intense scenes, and the scores of the two teams rose all the way. With Chen Junhao here, Duke's defense is no longer terrible. He can always tear through the opponent's defense and pass the ball out, allowing his teammates to score easily. Duke can also easily find the loopholes in Missouri's defense and take action calmly. The game seems to have become a showdown that compares which of the two sides has stronger scoring ability.

"Swish." Duke Barton made a mid-range shot.

"Swish!" Charlton made a shot from outside the penalty area.

"Bang!" Arroyo's shot from the inside basket missed the basket.

"Bang, swish!" Bogans raised his right index finger to celebrate.

"Swoosh!", "Flute!", "Swish!", "The goal is counted, the foul of the thug!" The fourth play. Chen Junhao's serve, the ball enters!

The scores rise alternately, just like Chen Junhao said: compare who scored more goals. Just as Missouri players rely on confidence: with Jack, the score cannot be widened. Once there are signs of out-of-control situations, Chen Junhao can always score goals in time to bring the game back on track.

The journey was exciting and intense, and the coaches of both teams carefully retained the power to pause. Until the third minute of overtime, the main players of both sides returned to the court, and neither of them took the lead in pause.

In the last three minutes of overtime, Missouri requested a timeout. After the timeout, the main players of both sides returned to the court at the same time. Chen Junhao, who had been supporting the team alone, finally got a chance to breathe.

"Let us leave the game below!" Kaman patted Chen Junhao on the shoulder.

Chen Junhao wiped his sweat and sneered: "Aren't you still dead just now? Why did you suddenly become lively?"

Kaman raised his head and said, "I can't beat Iron King Kong!"

Anthony also said: "It's really unpleasant to sit off the court and watch the game. It's time for us to finish the game. Jack, pass the ball to me!"

"Don't worry, I will. You have to throw in, but I don't have the energy to play another overtime."

"no problem!"

"And I!" Kaman said.

Chen Junhao smiled faintly without answering but stretched out his right hand. Anthony and Kaman also stretched out their right hand to cover it: "Come on together!"

Looking back at Mario and Pierce who were excluded from the trident, Chen Junhao stepped forward and hugged their waists and said, "It's been the last two minutes, are you ready?"

"no problem."

"Everything is OK!"

Chen Junhao nodded slightly, turned around, and walked onto the stadium first: "Let's go, let's win the championship!" At this time, he was more like the team leader than Anthony. Anthony, Kaman followed him into the stadium half a step left and right.

Duke also had a mobilization, Wilson, Rydick, and Mariano returned to the court, and Lao K kept Boggins and Patton, who performed well in overtime, on the court. The first-year leader played a substitute for his first-year teammates this time. This is Duke's style: he will always be the best player to stay on the court.

The game starts again.

134:133, Missouri was one point behind. In the last two minutes, the final battle was finally about to begin. Duke, Missouri, no one wants to delay the victory to the next overtime.

Although Duke replaced two players compared to the starting lineup, his strength did not decrease at all. The game is still a confrontation between the strongest lineups of both sides.

Duke's attack.

Mariano broke through, Reidick picked and rolled, Wilson transferred inside, Boggins moved quickly to get an open position in the outside pick-and-roll, and Wilson's pass arrived in time. Boggins received the ball, Boggins shot... "Bang!" The ball bounced high, and the inside rebounding ball was fighting. Kaman and Wilson's two tall and strong men in black and white fought in a hand-to-hand battle. Nash suddenly emerged, and the crowd jumped high from the outside circle to pick the ball away.

With a beautiful rebound, Duke got a chance to attack the second time. Before the cheers of Duke's players had sounded, a white figure rushed into the basket like a ghost. The moment Nash landed on the ground, the white figure flashed across from him, and Nash hugged the basketball with both hands and gave a heavy blow. The moment the basketball bounced up, the white figure had already taken the lead and held the ball in his arms.

Chen Junhao!
Chapter completed!
