zero second lore

Chapter 325 30 points

Steve Smith has been coaching at Oak Hill High School for nearly 40 years, nearly [-] games, one player after another, and there is no situation that he has not encountered.

Even so, the team's performance and the situation on the court in the first half still upset him, and he even regretted that he should not have traveled so far to Los Angeles to participate in this game.

He has been in Oak Hill for so long, from the youth when he graduated from the Art Institute to the gray hair now, and he is about to reach the age of retirement.He feels that today's young players are becoming more and more elusive, their personalities are becoming more and more prominent, they know more and more, and the world they are exposed to is getting bigger and bigger, but relatively, their basketball world is getting smaller.

In terms of talent, this year's Oak Hill High School players are not top-notch. Without Anthony and Durant, they are among the best in the United States. However, in the first 10 minutes of the first half, no one People can block it - even for a while, the No. 18 guard on the opposite side.

Steve Smith knew it was not normal, either his player was not normal, or the guard on the other side was not normal.

When Wilson High closed the gap to five points, Smith called a timeout. During the timeout, he couldn't contain his anger and yelled at the players.

Smith is not a coach who likes to lose his temper and swear. It is impossible for a coach who likes to lose his temper and swear in a team for 40 years and still achieve a super high winning rate of over 90.00%.

But as long as it is a basketball coach, there will always be times when he loses his temper and curses. Smith scolded everyone during this long timeout, not only for this game, but also for the various performances of the players that have dissatisfied him recently. Black - James is no exception.

The son of a basketball superstar, Blake James made a big splash in the McDonald's All-Star Game last week. At Oak Hill High, he was a real star, always surrounded by all kinds of media people. side.

When he came to Los Angeles this time, his father came with him, so he didn't live with his teammates.Not good behavior for a school as traditional and conservative as Oak Hill.

Similar things happened to other players. When they came to Los Angeles, there were scouts, agents, and sports reporters everywhere. They were like cats smelling fish, and they circled around the players at Oak Hill High.

You must know that in Virginia, Oak Hill High School is hidden in the mountains, and it is a two-hour drive from the nearest city. They have classes on Saturdays, and they have controls on telephones, the Internet, and various electronic devices.

This is an important means to keep the players "pure", and it is also a guarantee for the unity and single-mindedness of the team.

Now, they have come to Los Angeles, and after a few days, they seem to be polluted.

On the contrary, the guard on the opposite side is as "pure" as a piece of ice, not in terms of his character, but his technique.

"Lock him up, I say again, lock him up. If you can't do it, then please lock yourself up."

Smith gave an ultimatum to the players on the field, then looked at Black again and said, "Do what you have to do and don't think too much about it."

Smith still likes the child Blake very much. Although he is always shrouded in the shadow of his father, he still works very hard, hoping to get rid of the label that others put on him-James' son.

Black had just been scolded by Smith, and now Smith encouraged him, his eyes lit up again, and he nodded vigorously.

Back in the game, Black wanted to look back at his father who was sitting on the sidelines, but he held back. He fixed his gaze firmly on the opposite side, Lu Yuan on the opposite side.

..............................

The Wilson High School team was in a state of excitement. Lu Yuan's performance gave everyone a shot in the arm, and they actually took the lead.

However, Hart looked calm. On the one hand, he seized the opportunity of the timeout, let Lu Yuan sit on the stool to rest, assigned Luciano to deliver water to Lu Yuan, and fanned him with a towel; Set up the defense, anyway, the others just want to defend well, and it's fine for Lu Yuan to attack.

Hart actually realized that today's Lu Yuan is not the same as usual, it can be seen from his eyes, he is calm and determined, just like a blacksmith.

He sat on the seat and drank water without saying a word, as if saying a word would waste a little energy.

The timeout ended quickly, and the two sides returned to the field. As soon as Lu Yuan appeared on the stage, cheers erupted.

But Lu Yuan didn't notice this, he only noticed Black's gaze from the opposite side.

The duel between the two cores is about to begin.

With less than 10 minutes left before the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 22:17, with Wilson High School leading by 5 points.

Black began to fully take over the offense of Oak Hill High School. He calmed down his feverish mind. He missed two consecutive offenses just now, and the ball all spun around the basket and fell out.

Now he is back in playmaking mode, easily tore through Wilson's defense, and passed the ball to the inside Ott, who pushed Noel with both hands and dunked.

Then, three players surrounded Lu Yuan in the Oak Hill High School defense, resulting in a pass error. Black quickly counterattacked with the ball and dunked again.

Oak Hill immediately narrowed the point difference to 1 point, and they stopped the decline.

But Lu Yuan is not ready to end his fiery state.

Next, Lu Yuan stopped holding the ball, and the right to hold the ball returned to Pan Sen. He had recovered his state and was no longer nervous.

Lu Yuan began to wander around the perimeter, and the only function of the other three in the attack was to serve as wooden stakes for Lu Yuan to block.

Lu Yuan's running position was still so agile, without any trace, but he and Pan Sen had a very good understanding.

Although the players defending Lu Yuan were already following closely, Lu Yuan still found a gap. Pan Sen passed the ball, and Lu Yuan jumped up and shot immediately after receiving the ball.

Steve Smith on the sidelines was shocked by the simplicity and elegance of Lu Yuan's jump shots, without any unnecessary small movements or even adjustments, so that it seemed a bit blunt, as if he didn't have enough time to practice.

But the ball still fell into the basket, he was too fast, and the opponent had no time to interfere.

With another two points, the Poly Arena was filled with jubilation, Lu Yuan's enthusiasm continued, and now the audience wanted to see how long this kid would last.

When Hart saw Lu Yuan's jump shot, he found it a bit unbelievable. In daily training, Lu Yuan did have an outstanding jump shot, but it wasn't that good, especially when the opponent's defense was so tight. Lu Yuan's shots were extremely confident and resolute.

Confidence and determination can not only improve your shooting and the morale of your teammates, but also destroy the opponent's confidence, especially the tenacity of defense.

Lu Yuan's consecutive goals are undoubtedly a blow to the players of Oak Hill High School, because they have tried various methods, but they can't stop him, and they are short of tricks, but the players of Oak Hill will not do tricks.

After breaking Oak Mountain into a sieve with a breakthrough, Lu Yuan began to perform mid-range catch and jump shots again. He caught the ball quickly, took off fully, and shot decisively. The sound is also pleasant enough.

On Oak Hill, Black has completely calmed down. He controlled the team's offensive rhythm, broke through, scored the ball just right, and contributed to the team on the rebound.

Under the leadership of their respective core players, the two sides entered a fierce battle.

After all, Oak Hill High School's overall strength was much higher, and they slowly overtook the score, but every time they wanted to open the score, Lu Yuan would stand up and score two points to stop the team from bleeding.

And he can pass the ball as well. Noel, who was standing outside, and Luciano, who played later, could score three points as long as they were given a chance.

Wilson High School is indeed a garbage team, but it doesn't mean that the players in it are all garbage. Each of them has their own advantages, but there are too many shortcomings that the advantages cannot cover up.However, Lu Yuan was alone today, covering up their shortcomings, at least in the first half, giving them a chance to play their strengths.

No matter how Steve Smith changes his defensive strategy, if he sends more troops to chase and intercept Lu Yuan, he will still score goals and hit jumpers steadily.

Defensive competition is not only about skill and physical fitness, but more importantly, psychology. Lu Yuan seems to be invincible in front of the opponent's various defenses. No matter how the opponent deals with him, he is extremely calm and resolute.

The game was fierce and suffocating. Until the last moment of the first half, Oak Hill High School still led Wilson High School by 3 points. Wilson High School still had one chance to attack. Lu Yuan.

But Lu Yuan stepped forward to get rid of the double-team. Pan Sen passed the ball to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan took the ball and looked at the basket. It was four or five steps away from the three-point line; At 5 seconds, there was not much time left, the player defending him took a step back and glanced back at the others, obviously preventing Lu Yuan from breaking through and passing the ball.

But Lu Yuan didn't break through or pass the ball. Instead, he adjusted and shot a three-pointer directly on the spot!
Everyone was stunned, because this was the first time Lu Yuan shot a three-pointer in this game. People thought that this kid couldn't shoot a three-pointer, but he made such a long-range three-pointer!
The ball flew towards the basket like a cannonball, then hit the white frame of the backboard, bounced into the basket, and the ball hit the backboard!
The Pauley Arena was almost overturned by the cheers. If people who didn't know it thought the Bruins were playing in it, they were actually cheering for an unknown player from an unknown high school team.

A three-pointer was hit, the score was 43:43 extra, the two sides tied in the first half, and Lu Yuan scored 30 points alone, pulling Wilson to the same level as Oak Hill with his own strength.

The teammates rushed forward and hugged Lu Yuan like crazy, as if they had already won, but in fact, judging from the first half, they did win if they were able to beat Oak Hill High School like this.

In the last second, Oak Hill High School missed an attack, and the first half ended. Like Tang Seng, Lu Yuan was coaxed back to the locker room by his teammates who looked like little monsters, leaving behind the audience who couldn't get enough of it, waiting for the second half of the game in despair. Start.
