The intermission is over.

Before going on the court, Arenas hooked Shentong's shoulder and said almost to his ear: "Hey, Shen, look around, there are NBA scouts and crazy fans everywhere."

Shentong took a quick glance and saw that there was a sea of ​​people and he was dazzled.

"I don't know what you are playing for. Anyway, I have been playing for this moment for the past 20 years. I will not allow anyone to hold me back on the court. If you do well, I will very much welcome you, but if you

If you make continuous mistakes on the court, brother, I will kick you off the court without mercy, do you understand?" Arenas' tone left no room for doubt.

Shentong nodded quickly.

After all, Arenas is the recognized team leader on this Wildcat team.

Seeing that Shentong seemed a little nervous, Arenas stretched out his big hand and patted Shentong's chest.

"Brother, there is one more thing I want to tell you. You don't need anyone to tell you whether you can do it or not. You just need to believe that you can do it. That's enough!" Arenas encouraged.

Shentong smiled back and said: "Gilbert, there is no need to worry about me. People who are optimistic about you, Chris Duhon has already scored 8 points in the first half."

Arenas: "..."

This kid is incredible.

...

Finally stood on the court.

Under the spotlight.

The slight trembling in Shentong's body was not from nervousness, but from excitement.

nervous?

After experiencing the college entrance examination with thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, and being admitted to Peking University with stable performance, this kind of scene is not stressful enough for STO.

...

"Mom, don't be sleepy, Shentong is here!" Shen Qing, who was checking her cell phone, looked up at the TV and immediately shouted excitedly.

Sister Hua, who had been wandering around with Duke Zhou, suddenly woke up, her eyes widened, and she said: "Where is it, where is it?"

Shen Qing pointed at the TV screen excitedly and said, "Look, isn't that my brother? Oh my God, he's actually on the stage."

The mother and daughter held hands excitedly, and Sister Hua was even more excited and about to cry.

Lao Shen silently lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and blew out a smoke ring.

After a while, Shen Qing showed a hesitant expression: "Mom, tell me, have the Wildcats given up?"

"..."

...

After Shentong came on the court, he served as a shooting guard and partnered with Arenas in the backcourt.

Jefferson and Walton formed a forward combination, while Woods occupied the interior.

According to Duke University's lineup, Shentong will face Jay Williams.

Jay Williams, in the time and space before STO, was the second overall pick in 2002.

Williams, who was supposed to be the chosen one, had his career ruined due to a car accident, which is sad.

But no one can deny Williams' talent.

In fact, in the first half, Williams was Duke's scoring weapon.

He shot from left to right and scored 16 points, beating his opponent Kenny Gardner.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Wildcats trailed Duke in the first half.

...

Shentong's appearance attracted Duke's attention.

"Jay, there seems to be a substitution on the other side." Shane Battier reminded Williams.

"So what? Let me beat someone else?" Williams shook his head and said with disdain, "Kenny was already beaten by me in the first half, and the other team's coach knew this.

But it doesn’t matter to me who you change.”

...

"Dip~~"

The second half begins with the whistle.

Duke attacks first.

After several pass turnovers, the ball found its way into Williams' hands.

Williams, who was feeling hot in the first half, was almost unstoppable. Gardner was not only invisible, but also committed three fouls.

As for Shentong, who was facing him at the moment, Williams didn't take it seriously.

In fact, if Wang Zhizhi hadn't signed with the Dallas Mavericks this year and became the first Asian to sign in the NBA, I'm afraid many young people in the United States would think that Chinese people can only play table tennis.

...

Williams arrogantly dribbled the ball twice under the crossbar and suddenly started, trying to use his speed to get rid of STO's defense.

And he did.

Williams, who was originally fast, quickly got rid of Shentong and surpassed him by half a body.

Woods, who was struggling with Boozer, was blocked by the opponent before he could make up the defense. He could only watch helplessly as Williams broke through to the basket.

Easy layup.

Williams was about to score the first point of the second half for Duke.

Lightning flint.

A figure suddenly flew out from behind.

Like a fish leaping, with one lunge, Williams' layup was knocked out of the court with one hand!

STO!

The "Single Defense" chapter in "Basic Defense" mentions that when encountering a particularly fast player, you should focus on two points of defense: one is to start, and the other is to take action.

Start, that is, pay attention to the opponent's footsteps. Once you find that your opponent is about to break through, you must start immediately and try to keep up with the opponent's time and pace.

Taking action means giving up the defense on the opponent's breakthrough route, focusing on the moment when the opponent takes action, and delivering the most effective fatal blow.

After blocking the shot, Shentong raised his right hand high, as if to say, yes, it was me who blocked the shot.

The tall Woods hit his chest when he came up, and everything that happened in the training match two days ago has long been forgotten.

The other team members also high-fived Shentong excitedly.

Although it is just a block, it can give the opponent's most outstanding player a showdown at the beginning of the second half. This block is very helpful in improving the morale of the whole team.

Olson clenched his fists, feeling that even if it was just a block, the strategic substitution of letting Shentong play first in the second half was enough.

...

Dunleavy's shot missed the frame and Woods grabbed the rebound.

It's the Wildcats' turn to attack!

Arenas held the ball and attacked Duhon, but when he broke through to the inside, he found that he was triple-teamed by Boozer, Battier and Williams.

There is no room for action.

According to the old coach K's arrangement, as long as Arenas is killed, Duke will have won half the battle.

Arenas jumped into the air and quickly looked for the target to pass the ball to.

Jefferson was locked tightly by Dunleavy, and the passing route to Woods was also blocked.

In sight, a Wildcats player stood empty outside the three-point line.

STO!

Arenas threw the ball without any hesitation.

"Damn it, let them know how good you are!"

A solid catch.

Minor adjustments.

Take action with confidence.

Beautiful posture.

With the eyes of everyone present and the anxious hearts of Sister Hua and Shen Qing in front of the TV, the basketball flew into the basket obediently!

3 points!

55-54

The Wildcats took the lead!

The scene was buzzing with noise.

Wildcats fans raised their hands and cheered loudly.

Shentong's eyes were a little moist.

These cheers and cheers are all for you!

Let’s have some more.

I need something more intense.
Chapter completed!
