I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 32 The Dream Destroyer

Duke served from the baseline, and Du Hong slowly dribbled forward after receiving the ball, observing the position of his teammates.

This time the offensive tactics centered on Redick. Duhon didn't notice Redick's state, so he predicted the running route and passed the ball.

But Redick reacted a beat slower and failed to run to the designated position. The basketball flew directly out of the sideline. Duke University made a mistake for no reason and gave the ball to Marquette University in vain.

On the sidelines, the old coach K saw this and immediately requested a timeout, and recalled Redick, who was in poor form, to the bench.

The referee blew the time-out whistle, and players from both teams walked towards the bench.

"Did you hear what Lee said to JJ just now?"

"How can I hear it from so far away, or you can ask the person involved."

"Don't you see that Redick is in a bad state now? I'm going to ask if I'm looking for a fight?!"

"Honestly, I've never seen Redick so distraught."

Redick is a person who is strong in all aspects. All the members of Duke University know this. They don't know what the opponent's No. 13 player said to hit him so deeply.

"Brother, what kind of trash did you say to Redick just now, it made him lose his state."

"Dwyane, I was praising him just now. His defense is really good. If he is taller and bounces better, the ball will definitely be blocked."

"..."

Wade didn't know what to say now, but Dinard, Novak and Maynard next to him suddenly realized.

It turns out that this trash talk is really murderous.

Duke University bench, the old coach K called Redick to his side, and then said: "I don't care what that brat said to you, now you need to regain your spirits, what you have to do is how to defeat him, a Winners don't care what losers say."

"Now you stay on the bench to calm down, and then play after you think it through."

After the old coach K criticized Redick, he called the players together and arranged offensive and defensive tactics.

"Deng Tai, you focus on marking the opponent's No. 13 player. You must not let him shoot. The other four adopt zone defense and cannot give the opponent an easy chance to score."

"The offensive end is dominated by Chris and Shelton. Marquette University's interior is relatively weak. We must seize this point of offense and try to widen the score."

After the old coach K arranged the tactics, he asked: "Do you understand your mission?"

"Understood, Coach!"

Seeing the players' confident responses, Coach K nodded in satisfaction.

On the other side, the Marquette bench.

"Judging from the first few minutes of the game, Duke University is very well prepared, so we have to adjust our offensive tactics."

After Klein finished speaking, he called Wade to his side to assign tasks.

"Dwyane, you have to stand up in advance to take on the tough task. I will arrange players to help you empty the inside and create conditions for you to break through."

"Guaranteed to complete the task, coach!"

Klein nodded and continued to assign tasks to Li Xuan.

"Li, you look for opportunities to wait for the opportunity to create trouble for Duke University on the outside."

"Okay, coach!"

"On the defensive end, we adopt a zone defense, try to shrink the defense to the inside, and compress Duke University's offensive space."

After Crane arranged the tactics, he asked the players to rest for a while and then prepare to play.

After a while, the referee blew his whistle to signal players from both sides to play.

The timeout ends, the players return to the court, and play continues.

Marquette had possession of the ball, and Wade dribbled forward unhurriedly, coming to the top of the arc to organize an offense.

Dinard and Novak each took a corner position and brought their defenders out from the inside.

Li Xuan ran on the outside, and had no idea of ​​​​cutting into the penalty area at all.

When the time is right, it's Wade's turn to perform alone.

After continuously dribbling the ball under his crotch, Wade quickly made a change of direction in front of his body, shaking Duhon's center of gravity, and then used his explosive power to break through to the other side.

After a successful breakthrough, Wade did not rush into the penalty area, but came to a point in front of the free throw line, directly pulled up and shot.

Don't forget that in addition to sharp breakthroughs, Wade also has a good mid-range shot. Three-pointers are his weakness.

But shooting threes isn't very popular in this day and age, so Wade has no weakness after rounding.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily.

After the goal was scored, Wade raised his hands in celebration, and at the same time, he didn't forget to look in the direction of his idol, and found that the old hooligan was applauding him, and he was very happy.

When Li Xuan returned to the defense, he patted Wade on the shoulder and said: "Don't be a stinky fart, it's not too late to celebrate after the game is won, Duke University is coming fast, hurry up and return to defense!"

After hearing this, Wade put down his hands and ran back to his defensive area.

Duke University's offensive execution ability is very strong this time, and the tactics are very clear, which is to play inside.

Sheldon Williams came to the left low position and leaned back against Novak, and Novak was immediately pushed back by a huge force.

After pushing Novak away, Sheldon Williams firmly held his position and received a hanging pass from Duhon.

Seeing this situation, Li Xuan hurried over to double-team, he would not just watch Novak get blown up.

But before Li Xuan arrived, Sheldon Williams used a beautiful turn hook, which caught Novak by surprise.

The basketball hit the net in response and made a steady hit.

Li Xuan came to Novak's side, patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry, Steve, I will help you defend. The premise is that you have to hold on for a while with all your strength, so that I can arrive in time."

Novak nodded, feeling a warm current in his heart, the boss still treats him well, and then ran to the frontcourt to settle down.

Marquette University attacked. This time Wade broke through to attract the defense and distributed the ball. Dinard hit a mid-range jumper and scored 2 points.

In the next round, Duke University repeated its old trick and let Sheldon Williams play low singles.

This time, Novak listened to Li Xuan's suggestion and tried his best to fight Sheldon-Williams.

Otherwise, it will only make the opponent more and more confident.

Sheldon Williams felt the fierce resistance coming from behind, he sat back harder, and then turned for a layup.

At this moment, a black figure flashed past Sheldon Williams, and then he heard a loud noise.

"Clap!"

Li Xuan suddenly jumped out from behind Sheldon Williams, took off vigorously, extended his arms and slapped the rising basketball on the backboard.

Before the fans had time to cheer, Li Xuan threw the ball with one hand the moment it hit the ground.

The moment Li Xuan finished blocking the shot, Wade also started towards the frontcourt like lightning.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not need any verbal or gesture communication.

This long pass was like an intercontinental missile, and it was passed to the frontcourt very accurately.

Wade took a big step directly after receiving the pass very comfortably in front of the free throw line, and easily smashed and dunked.

At the same time, in the penalty area of ​​the other half, the blocked Sheldon Williams hadn't recovered yet, with a frustrated expression on his face, and the goal that was supposed to be scored was destroyed by the hateful No. 13.

This scene was captured by the naughty cameraman at the scene, and a close-up was projected on the big screen at the scene.

When Barkley saw it, he immediately teased: "Hahaha! Lee is simply a dream destroyer. He just destroyed Redick's basketball dream, and now he smashed Williams' basketball dream."

What Li Xuan didn't expect was that after this game, he had his first nickname. He was a little happy when he learned about it for the first time, but then he heard that it was named after "Poisoned Milk" Barkley, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable. So wonderful.
