I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 52 Against the Red Raiders (7)

Kalam thought of Isaiah Taylor, the main point guard who was expelled from the game. The loss of a main point guard who averaged 13 points per game had a great impact on the team, and Taylor averaged 6 assists per game. Highest.

In addition to his precise shooting, Moretti is incomparable to Taylor. The lineup without an organizer is indeed too flawed.

Karam looked at Jackson who was obviously hit, sighed and shook his head.

The two backcourt players in a team were subdued by Jiang Mu, how can they play this ball?
But fortunately, the other three led by Turner played well, and they have been struggling to support the current situation from becoming more ugly.

When it is time to encourage, it must be encouraged.

Kalam: "We played well. No. 8 Jiang is indeed too strong. There is no way to do this. Niccolo, pay attention, Moretti's defense is a bit weak. Go up and change with him in a while, and you defend the No. 8 , put Moretti on Richardson."

"Moretti also pay attention. When defending Richardson, he will not let go of the shot. When he shoots, you will try your best to influence the interference. If he breaks through you, the inside will give you a supplementary defense. Our inside has a great advantage. It's going to be harder for him to go in and score."

Jackson muttered twice, as if he wanted to say something.

Karam deliberately came to Jackson and squatted down.

"Niccollo, Isaiah is no longer available. You need to make up for his scoring from the back line. Your usual offensive shot selection is very reasonable. This is good, but at the same time it is not good. Too much, they consciously shrink the inside line, and the inside advantage will be a bit difficult to play! You are very strong and have the ability to average more than ten points per game. Although No. 8 is very strong, but if you limit him a little bit more, we will overtake him. Be bigger, don't think about anything else, focus on the game!"

Jackson seemed to be awakened by Coach Karam's words, so he nodded emphatically.

"There is still one minute left in the first half. According to common sense, the two sides still have a chance to attack. The ball belongs to the Red Raiders. Mr. Bill, do you think the Red Raiders will choose to fight quickly. How about two offensive opportunities? Or compress the time to play one and then defend the last attack of the Aurora team?"

"It should be to play quickly and strive for two offenses. After all, they are the one behind."

After playing again, Jackson seemed to have changed another person, controlling the ball while directing his teammates to move. After the position was rotated, the ball was quickly stuffed into the hands of the low-post Turner.

Connor shrunk quickly, and Turner quickly passed the ball back to small forward Hamilton before forming a double-team. It seemed that it was too late for Connor to make up from the inside again. Richardson was the closest, so he quickly gave up on Jackson for the time being. Block Hamilton's shot.

Hamilton quickly passed the ball to Jackson.

Jackson hit a three-pointer, the score became 48:38, and the point difference came to 10 points again.

This time the attack time only took 15 seconds.

After the goal, Jackson seemed very excited and made a "3" gesture with his hand.

Jiang Mu held the ball to delay the time, and everyone opened up the space again. When there were 7 seconds left in the attack time, Jiang Mu passed Jackson in two consecutive disguises and entered the inside lane. Nott, Nott was fouled by opposing center Bridger Pitt when he received a dunk in the air.

Knott: I finally have a fucking chance to score, and I must make a penalty!

It's a pity that the first free throw was missed, and Knott watched Turner grab the rebound with a bitter face.

With 20 seconds left in the first half, Turner wanted to consume the last attack according to Coach Callam's arrangement, but suddenly found that Richardson, who was defending Jackson, fell down. Jackson had already had a very good fast break Location.

Turner did not hesitate to make a long pass, and Jiang Mu quickly caught up with Jackson. Jackson knew that Jiang Mu's ability to block shots was very strong, so he jumped up and threw the ball back.

Cretti caught the ball and found that the Aurora team was not in place to return to the defense. Without any defense, he raised his hand and shot, and the basketball hit the net.

48:41, the point difference is only 7 points.

Richardson was very depressed, and the wooden floor would be very slippery with a little sweat.

"It's really accurate. No. 14 Creti's two three-pointers are very good. If the first half ends with a 7-point difference, it will definitely be good news for the Red Raiders."

"With 13 seconds left, the Aurora team must want to score this goal. There is no doubt that it should be handed over to Jiang Mu to execute the final attack."

While the staff was mopping the floor, Jiang Mu called his teammates together.

"They will definitely mark the whole court. After a while, Josh will serve the ball. The three of you will be positioned early. One of you, Moody and Nott, will be in the front court and the other will be in the middle circle. Josh and I will see who they are guarding on the 14th. Hold the ball across half court to defend against anyone, the captain is near the three-point line in the frontcourt, you must pay attention to the positions of me and Josh!"

The four members of the Aurora team knew the reason for Jiang Mu's arrangement. This was a very normal way to break the pressure of the audience, but Connor's position was a bit special. Maybe he wanted Connor to find a chance to shoot a 4-pointer.

A few people didn't ask any questions, and stood in their positions according to Jiang Mu's arrangement.

"This Jiang is really confident. He still catches the ball alone in the backcourt like in the last game, but he never fails to get the ball under the defense of the two."

After Richardson got the ball, he saw Jiang Mu running diagonally to the left near the three-point line. Suddenly, he made a sudden stop and ran back to the right. Jackson thought that Richardson was going to lob the ball backwards, so he quickly made up for it. , but Jiang Mu rushed straight to the three-second zone again, using a distance of a few meters to lead the slow Creti by a body.

After Jiang Mu successfully got the ball, he saw Creti pounced on Richardson who entered the field, and gave the ball to Richardson without hesitation, then turned around and ran to the frontcourt.

There seemed to be little pressure on Richardson to push through Creti's defence.

When Richardson reached the midfield, Moody and Knott had already settled down. Jiang Mu ran straight to Connor on the left three-point line. Jackson was not blocked by Connor, so this At that time Richardson had to pass the ball to Connor.

Time continued to run, and there were still 5 seconds before the end of the first half.

After Connor got the ball, he was about to pass it to Jiang Mu in the corner, but Hamilton had already switched positions to make up for it.

Connor was very smart. He turned around and pinned Jackson behind him and dribbled the ball into the three-point line.

Hamilton knew that Connor's mid-range shot was very stable, so he quickly stepped over from Jiang Mu's side two meters away to block the shot.

Connor: Sure enough, it is what Jiang expected.

After Connor jumped up, he passed to Jiang Mu in the bottom corner.

After changing defenses back and forth, the Red Raiders knew very well that if there were no major accidents, the ball would most likely be shot by Jiang Mu, so Nott rushed over from the three-second zone ahead of time.

Even if Jiang Mu passed the inside time, it would be too late, so he could only shoot by himself.

Turner stretched out his long arm in front of Jiang Mu's right to cover Jiang Mu's right hand shot.

Just when everyone thought the ball would be blocked, Jiang Mu's shooting action suddenly changed after jumping up.

"It won't be."

A picture suddenly appeared in Bill's mind.

April 2005, 4--Los Angeles Lakers VS Dallas Mavericks at home--the final quarter-Kobe Bryant!
