Chapter 14 Vigorous Anthony

After the team results came out, Li Hai was a little disappointed. One team was obviously the main force in the coach's heart.

Gerry McNamara at No. 1, Kurt Duany in his fifth year at No. 2, Carmelo Anthony at No. 3, Hakeem Warrick at No. 4 , Craig Firth, a sophomore at position 5.

In Li Hai's team, freshman Billy Edlin at position 1 and Josh Pace, a sophomore at position 2, were assigned to position 3, and Matt Gorman, who had played against him before, was at position 4. , third grader Jeremy McNeill at No. 5.

Gary Hall and Josh Brooks, who fought against each other before, were also on different teams. Li Hai noticed that these four teams should have decided to join the school team before.

That is to say, if there is no accident, only five people from other teams will be selected at most.

He paid attention to the team of his roommate Holt Eddie. The five of them seemed to be just amateurs. A fat man like Eddie, who was not even 1 meters tall, was assigned to the 9th position.

The rules of confrontation games are the same as those of NCAA, but only 20 minutes are played, and there will be no substitutions during the game.

The ten teams will take turns to play against each other under the watchful eyes of Coach Bo Yihan. It happens to be the weekend, and they can fight as many times as possible. The two teams of Li Hai and Anthony are the first to play.

Unexpectedly, he would be able to fight Anthony so soon, Li Hai was excited with a trace of nervousness.

Reg Firth jumped to the possession of the ball, and the basketball was handed over to Anthony after halftime. Li Hai immediately posted it, but Anthony smiled directly outside the three-point line and made a shot against the defense.

The movement was so smooth that Li Hai didn't even know whether the opponent was shooting or a fake move. After a little hesitation, Anthony succeeded in attacking.

When it was their turn to attack, Li Hai quickly slipped across the baseline and asked for the ball. His teammates didn't even look at him. Josh Pace made a pull and the basketball went wide.

Hakeem Warrick got the rebound and handed it to Gerry McNamara. Gerry McNamara quickly dribbled the ball up the front court, pulled it up and it was a chasing three-pointer, and the opponent scored again.

"Hey, buddy, you can pass the ball over after I run out of position." Li Hai said to Billy Edlin in position 1.

Billy Aldrin shrugged and said, "Dude, Anthony is in front of you. I want to play this ball myself, and I want to score for our team."

"Freshman rookies, you should trust your seniors." Josh Pace also said hastily.

"Speaking of seniors, don't you think you should hit the inside line?" Jeremy McNeil also said.

Their team has no famous players who can overwhelm others. Without a coach, everyone's tactical thinking cannot be unified at all.

Billy Aldrin did a good job, passing Gerry McNamara directly to the basket, only to be interfered by the big and tall Reg Firth, and the layup missed.

This time they retreated in time, and Anthony took the basketball again.

Anthony squeezed a step forward and jumped high to shoot. He didn't pay attention to such a little-known player like Li Hai at all, and his mentality was very relaxed.

Then this time Li Hai didn't hesitate at all, he jumped up suddenly, and slapped the ball out with one slap, the basketball was slapped by him and fell near the middle circle, Anthony turned to chase, McNamara also quickly moved towards The ball rushes away.

But they all needed to turn around, Li Hai rushed straight up, like an accelerating truck, squeezed in front of the two of them in an instant, picked up the ball and rushed to the opponent's half, stepping on the three-second line and jumping high , came a tomahawk dunk.

This dunk also aroused the exclamation of many people nearby. Redunks always make people excited on the basketball court.

"Anthony, is that all for the All-American team in high school?" Li Hai spat some trash on purpose as he walked back past Anthony.

Then he immediately greeted his teammates in a low voice, "I will try my best to provoke Anthony to let him play singles, and we will take the opportunity to cooperate and share the ball. Basketball is not about being famous and winning. Let's prove to the coach that we are better. "

Blocking Anthony from the front and adding an inspiring battle axe, the weight of Li Hai's speech suddenly changed from what it was just now.

After being blocked by Li Hai, a Chinese player that he hadn't paid much attention to before, and being ridiculed, Anthony quit immediately. He must get back the field, and get it back.

After halftime, he started to ask for the ball. McNamara was also a little upset. He is also a player with strong offensive power. Anthony's request for the ball will disrupt his rhythm, but I also understand that Anthony did not go to college and directly participated in the draft. They can all enter the NBA, and they must be the boss when they come to Syracuse University. If he doesn't cooperate, he will be the one who suffers if the coach is unhappy.

The look in Anthony's eyes after receiving the ball is different from before. Before he grew taller, he was a point guard. His breakthrough skills are very good. Coupled with his excellent strength now, he almost pushed Li Hai to the basket when he changed direction and accelerated. .

To be honest, Li Hai has never encountered an opponent with such smooth technical movements and such strength in China. When Anthony jumped up against him, he was completely suppressed, so he had to draw a foul.

This result was somewhat different from the bliss Anthony had imagined. After hitting the free throw, he said to Li Hai, "Even if it's a foul, it can't stop me from scoring."

When it was Li Hai's team's turn to attack, Li Hai ran aggressively to gain space again. This time his teammates passed the ball, and Anthony also stood in front of him with a smile.

When Li Hai received the ball, he took a quick tentative step, and then, like Anthony before, he changed direction and accelerated to push the defending Anthony into the three-second zone, and also leaned on the person to take off.

Anthony did not expect Li Hai's body and skills to reach this level at all, and he pulled the ball subconsciously, but Li Hai threw the ball into the basket.

After hitting the extra free throw, Li Hai also said to Anthony: "Even if it's a foul, it can't stop me from scoring."

Anthony was really angry now, and resorted to various offensive methods to single-handedly hit Li Hai.

Even if Li Hai tried his best to defend, he couldn't stop Anthony from scoring.

Obviously, he knows many skills, and his physical fitness should not be bad, but he can't achieve the smoothness of Anthony's lifting weight at all. Sure enough, there is still a lot of gap between him and the top basketball players of the American Big Brother.

At the end of the confrontation, Anthony looked proud, "Dude, you worked hard, but I won."

He scored 20 points in 20 minutes, and he was satisfied.

"No, I won." Li Hai pointed to the scoreboard on the sidelines.
