God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 19

Thomas' voice was so loud that the fans in the first three rows of auditorium could hear it clearly.Basically, the fans who can sit in the first three rows have deep ties to Villanova University. They also know that Thomas is often talking about a Chinese who joined the team this season, and suddenly a dozen curious eyes turned to him. The guy on the bench who was too young.

Chang Wei still sat there calmly, as if this had nothing to do with him.In fact, that's what he thinks. The system's tasks are of course very important, but a player's career is more important. There is nothing to be disappointed about. Winners and losers, that's all. It really doesn't have much to do with him.

But Li didn't think so. He always insisted that Chang Wei was the reason why he was able to replace Celestand as the team's starting shooting guard. The non-existent backup forward who waved the towel to his teammates at the end of the bench.

He let out a low growl, beat his chest to cheer himself up, and ran towards the frontcourt sullenly.Thomas smiled, took the ball from the referee, threw it to Irwin, and strode towards the opponent's three-second zone.

Irvine dribbled the ball across the half court. He didn't rush forward, nor did he give the ball to Thomas, who was entangled with the opponent's inside line. Instead, he patiently directed his teammates to keep pouring the ball back and forth from the outside line.Li didn't get involved, but quietly ambush in the left corner. Chang Wei's words echoed in his heart: "If you decide to be a perimeter defender who helps your teammates share the pressure, a 3D player is your ultimate goal. Defensive players will eventually be eliminated by the times."

After continuous transmission, Keengai called Lawson to the high position to make a wall with the ball. He took the opportunity to get rid of the opposing defender and broke into the penalty area from Lawson's side.University of Minnesota's center Winter is ready to fight, and shooting guard Harris is also covering it. Korn Gay is very self-aware and passes the ball to Lawson, who is down, and Lawson passes it to Al, who is standing at the top of the arc. arts.

Irwin took a shooting stance, Jackson rushed to the top of the arc, and pounced fiercely. Unfortunately, it was just a fake move. Irwin made a fake pass, and the orange basketball flew straight to the bottom corner. All eyes followed the flight direction of the ball, and standing there was Li, who was wearing No. 25 of Villanova University!
Jackson couldn't keep up, Harris let go of Koengai, and rushed to the bottom line like crazy.But it was too late, and Lee grabbed the ball, took a deep breath, and tossed it just over Harris' stiff arm.

Almost all the fans present held their breath, the basketball spun and flew towards the hoop, just when everyone thought the goal was going to be scored, it spun around the hoop for a few times and flew out directly !
Li, who still maintained his shooting posture, turned pale, and subconsciously looked at the bench, for fear that the head coach would replace him without further ado.But before he could forcefully turn his attention back to the arena, there was overwhelming cheers in the arena. Li turned his head quickly, only to see Thomas falling to the ground with a proud face. The inside line withstood the opponent's two or three players, and forced the ball back out of the rinse.

Li shook his head in frustration, and walked back with a distraught face, but a big hand patted him heavily on the shoulder, Thomas caught up from behind, and said with a smile: "Li, that shot just now was beautiful! "

Li shook his head and said in a low voice, "So what? Didn't you come in?"

Thomas grabbed his shoulders and said loudly: "What stupid things are you talking about? Who can guarantee that he can make every shot in the game? If you make all the shots, what do you want me to do? Besides, the tactic just now It’s really a good run, next time you have such an opportunity, you can continue to shoot, I’m inside!”

Although it was uncomfortable to be held by such a muscular stick, Li still nodded fiercely, and the frustration of not making a shot just now was swept away.He punched Thomas lightly, trotting all the way to the top of the arc, and put on a defensive stance.

Chang Wei saw clearly from the sidelines. Although he didn't know what Thomas said to Li, judging from the completely different expressions of the latter, Thomas' consolation obviously achieved good results.I hope this guy can show some color to Jackson in the next round, Chang Wei said silently in his heart.

Among the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers, Jackson has a high degree of freedom. Sometimes the head coach Haskins will acquiesce in his command on the field, even if it conflicts with the tactics he arranged at the beginning.Jackson thought to himself that he had seen through Lee's strength. This round, he still wanted to play singles with the ball and completely destroy the rookie in front of him.

Perhaps because of his high self-esteem, Jackson didn't even need to cross and change direction this time. He shook his shoulders, took a tentative step, and then directly started to accelerate and overtake.But he soon found that his speed didn't pick up. The No. 25, whom he had obviously passed, stuck up like a shadow, and kept harassing him with small movements.

Jackson was not a good boy. Taking advantage of the chaos inside and the players on both sides blocking the referee's view, he secretly raised his left arm and elbowed Li's chest hard.

This guy's strength is definitely not small. Li held his breath and endured the elbow. Even though he was prepared, his chest felt tight for a while, and his feet staggered, almost falling to the ground.But at this time, there is no way to cause offensive fouls in his position, and if he falls, Jackson may score easily again like the first round.

He gritted his teeth, quickly supported the floor with his right hand, stabilized his figure, and entangled it like a tarsal maggot.This action also caused Riddle to exclaim: "Oh my God! Chris didn't fall down. I guess the other party did the trick just now, but instead of lying on the ground, he rushed up like a bulldog! "

Jackson also saw Li who was close to him again, and he was surprised that his speed had to slow down again.No matter how he turned around or how he made fake moves, Li always stayed in front of him, like a piece of brown sugar that couldn't be shaken off.

Soon the offensive time was running out, but Jackson still couldn't get rid of Lee's defense. In desperation, he could only forcefully take off and shoot backwards.This quite difficult shot was naturally not accurate. The rebound was taken away by Thomas who had been waiting for a long time in the three-second zone, and it was directly thrown to Irwin who had already started to complete a counterattack layup.

Jackson looked at Li, who was surrounded by his teammates, with a dignified expression...
