Chapter 86
The elimination system made the originally lively atmosphere in the arena extremely dignified. There is no safety card here, and strength decides whether to stay or not.

“55号、45号、37号请离开训练营。”1v1中输掉的营员被驱逐离场。

Although these people are not reconciled, they are indeed inferior to others in terms of strength.

The remaining players are temporarily safe.

The players participating in 1v1 completed their matches one after another, leaving only the last two, the Butler brothers.

The two ranked 21st and 22nd.

"This matchup is pretty good." The one-on-one Martin in front looked drowsy, but when it was the turn of the Butler brothers, he immediately regained his energy.

"Brother Butler?" Mu Chenfeng had never heard of them, but judging from their rankings, they must have certain strength.

“他们两个参加3v3不是更好吗？为什么要选1v1？以他俩的排名随便找个人打3v3，胜出几乎是板上钉钉的事儿。”

"This is because both of them regard each other as competitors, and they made an appointment to participate in 1v1 together, but unexpectedly they actually met."

Although the Butler brothers are twins, they are very different in playing style. The younger brother has an enviable offensive talent, and his keen insight into defense allows him to easily tear through the opponent's defense and attack the basket.

The elder brother has stronger organizational skills, has a good overall view, and is more suitable to play a role in the team. At the same time, he has a strong defensive awareness, and the players who play against him will receive thoughtful care.

A spear and a shield, is the spear sharper or the shield stronger?
"It's just a pity." Martin suddenly let out a sigh.

"What a pity?"

"One of them is destined to go."

From the moment the two stepped onto the court, the two were destined to accept the joke of fate.

It's just that the two didn't regret meeting each other because of the elimination mechanism. On the contrary, this encounter seemed to just meet their expectations. It doesn't matter whether they are eliminated or not. They just want to have a good fight.

"Who do you think will win?" Martin asked Mu Chenfeng.

"Brother." The ranking made Mu Chenfeng more optimistic about his elder brother who was ranked 21st, while his younger brother was looked down upon.

"Jr. Butler is an offensive kaleidoscope."

"so what?"

Mu Chenfeng still insisted on his point of view, but other people were more optimistic about his younger brother.

"Finally it's our turn." Little Butler was gearing up and couldn't wait to go to the court to beat his brother up.

"Let's say it first, no matter who is eliminated today, they are not allowed to go home and complain." Big Butler pointed to his younger brother.

Since I was a child, whenever my younger brother was bullied, he would always complain to his parents, and then his elder brother would be blamed.

"Don't worry, I've grown up." Little Butler said with a smile.

This is not the scene that should be in the knockout match. They clearly know that one of them will be eliminated, but they can still talk and laugh happily.

Due to the ranking, the younger brother got the offensive ball first, but Butler Jr. was not happy about it. Attacking first means that he is a weaker side in terms of overall strength. This naked unspoken rule made the younger brother shorter than the elder brother from the beginning.

Seeing little Butler's frown, the elder brother understood his careful thoughts, and felt happy in his heart, who made himself rank higher than his younger brother.

"I must prove to them that I am better than you." Little Butler suffocated in his heart and threatened to win the game.

The first team to score 5 points in a bullfight wins, so the first point at the start is particularly critical.

Little Butler was not in a hurry to attack, but carefully observed his brother's defensive position. The two grew up together on the court, and it has been the tenth year. They are a mirror to each other's level. The more they understand each other, the fewer chances of a duel.

Unlike Enzo Ronnie's defensive gate built with height, Butler's defense relies more on his terrifying wingspan and good awareness. These two talents allow him to intercept offenses more easily than others.

No, Butler Jr.'s offense seemed a little weak in front of his brother, and several consecutive attempts to break through were blocked.

Excessive familiarity determines that this game is destined to be long, but the scene is not boring at all, and the confrontation is very intense.

Little Butler turned around and leaned back, and the two bumped into each other.

"Want to hit back?" My brother had expected it a long time ago, so he had already prepared for it. With enough strength to resist, Butler's back hit didn't crush half a step.

"It's good if you haven't resisted for a few days." The elder brother's resistance seemed to be beyond the younger brother's expectation. Usually, when he used this kind of back punch with such strength, he would get some effect, but this time it didn't have any effect.

Could it be that my brother has practiced his strength secretly these days?
Butler's strength has not increased, but he has made some changes in defense, and the younger brother who is used to the previous defense cannot adapt to the new defense for a while, so he feels that his brother's strength has become stronger.

If you can't be tough, you can be soft. Butler Jr. withdrew all his strength, turned around and caught the fallback. The elder brother couldn't react in time, and watched his younger brother shoot the ball into the basket.

Not only the elder brother should change, but also the younger brother.

There is also a gap between the offensive skills used by Butler Jr. and the usual confrontation skills between the two. If it was put in the past, no matter how tough the defense is, he will definitely fight back to the end.

"Now what they are facing is not the familiar opponent, it depends on who is better."

Scoring the first goal made Butler Jr. a little overwhelmed, so he was intercepted during the second attack.

It is not a good sign that the ball falls into the hands of his elder brother. Butler Jr. is very good at offense, but he is not good at defense, especially when defending Butler, he rarely succeeds.

Although Butler's offensive methods are not rich, his reading of the situation helps him find the most suitable time to score, and then use the simplest offensive methods to score the ball.

With just one change in offensive rhythm, the elder brother successfully penetrated the younger brother's defense, and then reached the penalty area for a layup.

On the scene, the younger brother was indeed blown away, but it was also because the elder brother's rhythm changes were too subtle, and he was not given a chance to react.

The younger brother who suffered a loss improved his memory, deliberately missed his elder brother and let him go to the basket, and then presented a wonderful chasing block, preventing the goal and regaining the offensive right at the same time.

The back and forth offense and defense of the two made people applaud again and again.

"They are brothers, is it necessary to do this?" Brothers are killing each other, some people have already denied it and continued to read.

But the two enjoyed it and refused to give in to each other, clinging to the score to a 4:4 tie.

The ball is in the hands of Butler, as long as he scores another goal, he can get the remaining spot.

From leading to being tied, and now that he doesn't have the ball in his hands, Butler's heart began to fluctuate slightly.

Before the game was over, Mu Chenfeng asserted, "I told you, brother will win."

The nearly 20-minute fierce battle left both of them in a much worse state than at the beginning, but it was obvious that the elder brother was in better condition.

"It's too early to draw conclusions." Cannavaro is still very rational, as long as the game is not over, the result is hard to say.

On the court, Butler started his last attack, but it was obvious that Butler couldn't keep up.

"Mom, my brother bullied me again." Little Butler, 6, ran to his mother with a shriveled ball in his hands, crying and complaining.

"Carl, come here." Mom just criticized little Carl without asking why.

"Why?" Little Carl's eyes were red. He was clearly right, but his mother still criticized him.

Mom didn't give any explanation, nor listen to any explanation.

In the evening, my mother called little Karl to her side, and gently stroked the wronged little Karl, "Whether it's right or wrong, you have to yield to my brother, because you are an older brother!" After finishing speaking, mother hugged little Karl tightly in her arms.

"I'm my brother." Carl Butler stopped hitting the basket, but Butler Jr. seized the opportunity of his brother's panic and broke the ball.

Immediately afterwards, the counterattack was successful, 5:4, and the last one left was the younger brother.
