Chapter 7 [Really just an accident? 】

Players are not accurate in shooting, so they can only practice hard and improve. The defense is different, mainly depending on the players' experience and attitude.

Guo Xu had rich experience in jungle ball in China in his previous life, and was good at using small moves to make up for his height deficiency when defending. His height at 180CM must be poor when interfering with shooting, but he has the advantage of agility. As long as he is willing to entangle and does not gamble and steal, it will be difficult for 187CM Lyman to get rid of him and take action easily.

Of course, Guo Xu's defensive skills are only enough to deal with Lehman. Cliffs is too strong. His weight of 93 kilograms can easily knock him away. The breakthrough is a tank-like crushing, leaving him helpless.

Lehman was determined to compete on the defensive end, but Guo Xu did not give him a chance. After his teammate sent the baseline ball, Guo Xu took a step and passed it to Cliffs, allowing the core to get the ball from the backcourt and take it to the frontcourt to choose whether to break through or pass the ball.

Guo Xu ran to the 45-degree three-point line on the right and opened it, following the coach's tactical arrangements, he received the ball and took the ball.

As a senior Chinese basketball fan, he can understand most basketball tactics. Izo arranged for him to play, and he didn't need to hold the ball to break through. As long as he made a stable three-point shooting point, he would not be scolded if he led a few steps.

Cliffs advanced to the frontcourt and faced defensive expert Morris Peterson in the middle.

One important reason why the Spartans are looking down on this year is that Cliffs must send vanguards to defend whether they play point guard or point guard, otherwise they will definitely be beaten. His NCAA resume is very beautiful. He was selected as the best player in the top ten league twice and was selected into the All-American team twice.

Peterson won the top ten league players this season, but Cliffs has already booked, averaging 17.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.

Cliffs did not attack hard, and took a step to Richardson on the left. Peterson was attracted, and the task of defending Richardson fell on the substitute swingman Jane Murphy, who was 195cm tall and weighed 88 kilograms.

Richardson is not a player who only knows how to dunk and jump shot. In the NCAA field, people often see him hitting his opponent with his butt and back. He has obvious physical advantages. He turned to the bottom line and forced himself to penetrate the penalty area, and made a one-handed board shot to shoot basketball.

A clean and neat goal, 2 to 0.

The White Team attacked, and Lehman dribbled the ball to the three-point line. Peterson reached out to ask for the ball. Lehman passed it over, and he didn't dare to ignore the core ball when he asked for the ball.

As soon as the ball was passed, it could not come back. Guo Xu followed Leman closely and launched a candy-like defense.

He was beaten twice by Leman. One was because Guo Xu had just been reborn and did not understand the situation in the team and chose to be low-key; the other was that he was not used to Leman's playing skills and suffered a loss.

Now he knew it. Lehman's shooting ability is average, and his scoring mainly depends on breakthroughs. It is absolutely right to prevent such people from being entangled and forcing him to shoot. As long as Guo Xu is not passed in the first step, even if Lehman finally squeezes into the basket with his physical advantage, his teammates can help.

The NBA's nickname "Mad Dog" in the future, Patrick Beverly, 185CM tall, is best at defending this way. He strictly prevents breakthroughs and tries his best to interfere with shooting. The opponent can score. Reducing the shooting percentage is victory. This kind of defense is actually not difficult. The key lies in his attitude and physical strength.

Guo Xu was just playing hard today, training with the attitude of playing in the NBA playoffs. Even if he can only support his physical strength for 15 minutes, it is enough to impress the head coach. Anyway, he usually only plays for 15 minutes. Why do he have so much physical strength to do?

Peterson is not good at attacking with the ball. He failed to break through and passed the ball. He passed it several times. Center Randy missed the hook with interference. Boyd grabbed the rebound and passed it to Cliffs to launch a counterattack, and there was a misplacement on the court.

Richardson defended Peterson, and when he counterattacked, Cliffs faced the substitute swingman Murphy. He lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough, changed backwards and did not completely get rid of it. He forced his basketball to score 4 to 0 with his outstanding physical fitness.

Guo Xu was not so active during the offense. He ran two steps casually, stood outside the three-point line and waited for the pass so that he could recover some strength and stay on the defensive end to play.

The White Team attacked, Guo Xu kept a two-step distance, put Lehman outside the three-point line, and did not speak, making a "please" gesture to him.

In the past, Guo Xu could not provoke his teammates, let alone speak trash words. An honest man suddenly provoked him would have an unexpected effect. When Leman's mind was hot, he would get the ball in the middle and score a three-pointer.

Guo Xu didn't even raise his hand, knowing that he couldn't catch it even if he jumped up. The three-pointer was Lyman's weakness, so he obviously skewed the shot. He bounced out of the box and Richardson grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The White team players returned to defense very quickly this time, and the Red team did not start a fast break. Guo Xu received a pass from the right bottom corner. Lehman also defended very tightly. Guo Xu swayed for a moment and did not shoot. He moved sideways and passed the ball to Richardson, who was on the right 45 degrees back and forth.

Richardson squeezed Murphy twice with the ball, turned to the baseline and missed a one-handed shot. He immediately jumped up and grabbed the frontcourt rebound, and played cricket from a second attack. 6-0.

Coach Izo kicked Richardson a few times on the sidelines. This is exactly the routine he wants the players to play. It must be based on the point guard not doing anything randomly. Izo has always disliked Lehman. This man does not have enough strength, but always wants to show off. His random play will cause the team's stars to not be able to exert their full strength. Guo Xu's attribute of not holding the ball is actually what the team needs.

No matter what level of game, each team will assign different tasks to the players. Privileged players can take action at will. The task of role players is always to ensure efficiency within a limited number of shots. Guo Xu understands this truth, but Lehman doesn't understand. He relies on his personal ability to join the school team, and he develops the habit of being a core player in high school.

Lehman is not without a ball player. He looked for the inside cover in the next round. Guo Xu was slower to bypass the cover, and Lehman rushed up.

Center Hughes retreated near the penalty area to make up for defense, and Guo Xu chased from behind. Although he could no longer block or interfere with the shooting, he still chased under the basket.

Lehman has skills and good physical fitness. After jumping up, he avoided Hughes's cover and picked up the basketball with his low hand. 6 to 2.

Lehman was all focused on the basket. After scoring the goal, he was cheering for this wonderful goal. He didn't expect to be so happy that he felt sad. When he landed, his right foot stepped on Guo Xu's feet.

"Ah." Lehman screamed and knelt on the ground.

When he pulled the rod, his body was already tilted, and his feet were destined to fall to the ground separately. Once he stepped on Guo Xu's feet, he could not adjust the center of gravity at all, and his right ankle was so hard that it was so hard.

"I'm so sorry... I didn't mean it." Guo Xu stood aside and apologized in panic.

"You fucked it on purpose, you damn Chinese guy! bastard! fuck you!" Lehman roared. The moment he landed, he knew that the season was over.

The team leader, who played the guest referee, hurriedly stopped. His teammate helped Lehman to the stool on the side to see his injury. He saw that his ankle slowly became swollen and a little blue. The best result would be to rest for two weeks, and if it was serious, he would even have to undergo surgery.

Guo Xu frowned and continued to explain: "I didn't mean it. I just wanted to defend and protect the backcourt rebound."

Is this really just an accident?
