This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 29
Gerald Green finally regained some composure under the shout of the coach.

He knew now that he couldn't destroy the entire Flint Hills school basketball team with his own attack, and he might even screw everything up.

After all, the opponent is also the champion of the 4A championship, not an unknown person.

It's just that he was a little uncomfortable to be taken away by someone in front of him with ease.

But now, the team's victory is more important.

He took the initiative to give up the command and returned to the hands of team defender Paul Langton.

Although Paul Langton's physical fitness is not as explosive as Gerald Green's, he has a relatively wise brain, and is a [-]-foot-[-] tall point guard. He can clearly see the loopholes in Flint Hill. Frequently relying on height and weight to eat Eric Mason raw at the basket.

In two rounds, he hit the board and scored, and in one round, he assisted the inside player to dunk.

On the Flint Hill side, Zhou Lin passed the ball three times, but none of them scored. Only Gion was fouled when he was under the basket, but the latter only hit one free throw.

10 to 9, the score was overtaken, and the head coach Jim took the initiative to call a timeout.

In order to make up for the loopholes on the field, Jim once again used zone defense tactics, hoping to contain the offensive firepower of the opponent's No. [-] scoring point.

But soon, Jim was punished. The Houston College Bay team was not George High School, who had a very poor shooting foundation. point.

And because of poor defense, the Brown Scorpions' offense was also hindered, with one turnover and one missed shot.

After the timeout, it was another wave of 7 to 2.

加上之前的6比1，等于说回过神来的海湾队，在四5分钟的时间里打出了一波13比3的小高潮。

This situation lasted until the end of the first quarter. Although Zhou Lin later used a drop shot to relieve the Brown Scorpions' urgent need, the opponent's offensive started. Although Gerald Green did not control the ball, he became the Terminator. The effect, on the contrary, is much better than the opening one.

"What a terrible first quarter!"

The Brown Scorpions are in trouble!

Looking at the score of 27 to 16, in the first quarter, the Brown Scorpions fell behind by double digits.

This is not a small point difference. After all, the Brown Scorpions averaged only 82 points per game as the champions in the previous season.

Jim patted Eric Mason on the head and said, "Eric, you have worked hard."

Jim also knows that Eric is working very hard, but some things cannot be achieved through hard work. The height of about six feet, plus a thin body, allows Eric Mason to meet stronger and stronger opponents , always at a disadvantage.

"Coach, we have to make more detailed deployments, zone defense won't work."

Zhou Lin said that the quality of the Brown Scorpion's zone defense is not enough, and the opponent can still score!

"But the defenders we can..."

Jim glanced at the guard group, it was fine in the state championship, but in this kind of invitational tournament where every team is a championship level, it is very stretched.

No matter who is allowed to play point guard, it is a loophole!
Mason is already the best point guard on the team. The other point guards are either offensive or defensive, and each has its own flaws.

"Let Zhou play as a point guard for a while, and let Mason and the opponent's Langton stagger the time!"

Blair suggested.

"Great idea!"

Jim's eyes light up instantly, why can't he do this, he will send a 7-foot-[-]-[-] forward, there will be no big problems on the defensive end, and Zhou Lin will have about [-] assists per game.

He can handle the ball!
Jim has witnessed too many miracles belonging to Zhou Lin this year, so he chose to trust Zhou Lin.

Jim sent the sixth man in the team, Goodwin, a third-year forward, a forward who is more than six feet four. He used to be Zhou Lin's backup. .

Of course, people who are not familiar with the Brown Scorpions thought that Goodwin played the first position, but they never expected that Flint Hill's lineup in the second quarter was actually 2.05 meters Zhou Linlai played point guard, and Goodwin is the third position replacing Zhou Lin.

Goodwin was sent to guard Gerald Green, which was Coach Jim's intention.

Now that Zhou Lin needs to hold the ball, it is impossible for him to take the greatest responsibility on both ends of the offense and defense.

Paul Langton, who was over six feet three, was stunned.

How tall is Zhou Lin, six feet eight?Six foot nine?
Langdon suddenly looked like a mini guard.

He was a small defender just now, and now he is such a big defender. Does Flint Hills play like this?

And what Langton did to Eric before, Zhou Lin quickly found it back on Langton.

After a few pick-and-rolls, Zhou Lin stepped into the paint. He has a five-foot height advantage and an advantage of seven kilograms in weight.

Sit inside and easily add baskets.

In the next round, the opponent came up to double-team immediately after Zhou Lin turned to the inside, but Zhou Lin played the ball very quickly. Blair, who followed, ended the round with a dunk this time.

On the other hand, for the Gulf team, Zhou Lin faced Langton, who was half a head shorter than himself.

You are facing an opponent who is taller than you, stronger than you, not slower than you, and as agile as you.

Langton seemed to have encountered a nightmare.

Steal and block!
Under Zhou Lin's two successful defenses, the Gulf team had to call a timeout.

One ebbs and another, the momentum begins to reverse, and the goddess of victory seems to want to leave the Gulf team.

"What a headache player."

The opponent's head coach has nothing to do with Zhou Lin, so he can only continue to transfer people.

Replaced with a faster, smaller point guard.

But Jim had already expected this step, Eric also played again in this round, and Zhou Lin returned to the familiar third position.

In front of the opposing player who was also short in stature, Eric Mason regained his confidence.

As soon as he came on the court, he immediately got a three-pointer, and he raised his hand and dropped it.

Everyone can see that Zhou Lin is a more troublesome player than Gerrard.

Of course, Gerrard is a better scorer, but Zhou Lin is a player who can play the first position. His ability to handle the ball is something that Gerald Erlin does not have, and the coach trusts him enough .

In fact, as long as Zhou Lin is willing, he can try any of the five positions on the court.

In the second quarter, the Brown Scorpions scored 29 points in a single quarter, while the opponent only scored 17 points.

At the end of the second quarter, the Flint Hill Brown Scorpions had a one-point lead, 45-44.

And those scouts who wrote the comments at the beginning, wrote another sentence in the small notebook.

He also has a playmaking ability that almost no [-]-foot-[-] high school player has.

After all, not everyone can be Magic Johnson!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that this yellow-skinned boy was really used as a point guard.
