Chapter 73 What is worthy of the name
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Su Yang strode towards the bench, and several teammates got up and applauded to show their welcome.

Le Fu took the initiative to go to the sidelines to greet him, and excitedly clapped his hands and shoulders with Su Yang, with various compliments in his words.

All the players in the white team were quite happy, except for Coach Coleman, who was stern, as if he had been beaten violently.

The short timeout lasted only 1 minute. Coleman gathered the whole team to surround him. He spent 40 seconds repeating his previous unnutritious speech, and then arranged for Gerald Bayless to replace James Anderson, forcing Su Yang to play point guard.

Harden was so angry that he wanted to talk to Coleman at that time, Su Yang hurriedly indicated with his eyes that it was okay.

The timeout ended in a blink of an eye, and the players of the two teams returned to the court. At this time, there were 3 minutes and 58 seconds left before halftime.

The red team replaced Gani Laver with OJ Mayo, which happened to form a match with Su Yang.

"It seems that there will be a head-to-head confrontation after all. Whether my title as the number one high school student in the United States can be established depends on the next few rounds and the final result of the game. It's so exciting!" Su Yang began to think about how to defend Mei profound.

In Su Yang's view, Mayo's talent is not that strong, and the reason why Mayo became the number one high school student in the United States is probably because he developed too early. He grew to 15 cm at the age of 193, and his height and weight surpassed his peers.

After Mayo entered college, the problem of lack of ball-handling skills was gradually exposed, and the height advantage was no longer so obvious, so that when he played against UCLA in a game, Westbrook was locked in all directions, which directly helped Westbrook become famous.

However, the Grizzlies management is still willing to exchange Love for Mayo.

Although Mayo performed well during his rookie period, his lack of skills and general explosiveness were exposed more seriously in the NBA. In addition, other teams targeted defenses, and Mayo's personal data dropped sharply. In the end, he did not receive a second contract from the Grizzlies.

If you think about it carefully, if you are singled out for a matchup, it is best to press close to the defense and try not to give room for manipulation.

...

The referee blows his whistle and the game continues.

Su Yang leaned towards Mayo and followed him all the way to the frontcourt.

Just about to observe the formation of the red team, Mayo suddenly said: "I'm glad to see that you still have some strength, otherwise I will blow you up later, everyone will only think that I beat a rookie, and I will make you pay the price!"

Su Yang didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when he heard this, he suddenly became interested, and asked with a casual smile, "What did I do?"

"You lied to Mr. Rodney..." Mayo's tone was full of hatred. He actually thought that Su Yang had promised Rodney to form an AAU team, but after the nationwide live broadcast became popular, he deliberately made more demands to embarrass Rodney. .

"You were deceived by him. He is not a good person. It is best to stay away from him." Su Yang clearly remembered that Rodney once bluntly said that he would give up the Mayo core in order to attract himself to join the AAU team. Deception on both sides.

It's a pity that Mayo didn't believe it, and even beckoned for a basketball, clamoring for a one-on-one match.

Su Yang ignored him. He knew that Mayo had a weird personality and was not very good at thinking. Otherwise, he would not have caused Tony Allen to punch violently after losing to Tony Allen because of playing cards. He was also suspended by the league for drug abuse.

But Mayo received the pass at the top of the arc, waved his hand chicly to signal the audience to pull away, and continued to speak provocatively.

Seeing such a scene, the audience immediately cheered and shouted, and the players of the two teams walked towards the bottom line one after another.

The high position area was quickly left empty, and Mayo swayed his crotch drastically, his eyes full of disdain.

Su Yang approached decisively, actively blocked the space on the right side, and at the same time gave him physical contact.

Mayo dribbled the ball with his left hand and stepped to the left to break through. Because of his height and pace, he grabbed the position in one go.

Su Yang slid to follow in a calm manner, came to the left elbow in the blink of an eye, and approached close again.Although at a disadvantage in height, the advantage of developing towards a heavy guard was immediately manifested. Mayo's possession of the ball became less stable, and he slowed down visible to the naked eye.

He was preparing to attack, but Mayo wisely chose to hold high and hit high, relying on his height advantage to forcibly hook.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Singler took off and got the rebound, then threw it to Bayless at the top of the arc, and the white team launched a counterattack.

Su Yang quickly ran to the right wing of the front court, and then used Harden's cover to get rid of Mayo's defense and cut inside.

Mayo didn't keep up with the rhythm, Su Yang hurriedly shouted for the ball, but Bayless didn't pass the ball immediately.

Mayo took the opportunity to catch up, and other players on the red team also paid attention to the basket, and the scoring opportunity disappeared in an instant.

Su Yang turned around and ran back to the right wing, reversely set up a human wall to block Wright, and created an air-cut opportunity for Harden.

Harden knows how to start and sprint, but Bayless throws the ball to the left wing, and Singler catches the ball and hangs on the left waist.Harden could only silently exit the paint area, stand on the left sideline, and enjoy Cole Aldridge's singles with Su Yang.

To be honest, Cole's footsteps were okay, shaking his shoulders several times in a row, easily shaking JJ Hickson's center of gravity.

But just as Cole jumped up and shot, Hickson jumped up again without warning, raising his hand and hitting a big hat.

The basketball was forced to fly to the right wing, Su Yang forced a step around the front to resist Mayo, and successfully grabbed it.

Seeing that Mayo went around to intercept him, Su Yang took advantage of the situation and leaned on his back, then pouted his buttocks and sat down vigorously.

Mayo rooted his feet to defend, and at the same time raised his hands to try to block the sight of the shot, regardless of the center of gravity of the body.

Without hesitation, Su Yang pulled the ball back and turned around, one step past Mayo, and then rushed two steps into the paint area, quite stubbornly ignoring Hixon who was rushing towards him, lifted the ball like a dry field to pull a green onion, and forced a layup.

Snapped!Hixon slapped Su Yang's arm, and the basketball rebounded into the net at the same time.

The referee blew his whistle to indicate that the goal was valid, and an additional penalty was given, and cheers rang out in the arena.

Su Yang ignored Mayo's trash talk and easily hit and added penalties, helping the white team catch up to 37-49.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Flynn ran across the center line with the ball, and Mayo raised his hand for the ball again, but Marshal Stevens asked for tactics.Mayo showed displeasure, but he ran to the left corner and stood up. The red team put on the INDY RIP tactical formation.

Flynn handed the ball to Patterson at the top of the key, then cut into the paint on a Hickson screen and headed straight to the short left corner.

Su Yang originally planned to switch defenses with Bayless, but considering that the opponent was unwilling to pass the ball to him, he immediately went around to block Mayo.

As Su Yang expected, Mayo chose to run out, making it clear that he wanted to use Patterson's cover to escape.

Su Yang took the first step to bypass, chose to block Mayo's breakthrough space, and deliberately shot.

To his surprise, Singler actually helped delay, although he moved away immediately.

That movement seemed to be instinctive rather than intentional, but Su Yang was enough to reattach Mayo.

The red team's offense was blocked, Meola retreated the ball to reorganize the offense, and shifted to the right with the help of Hickson's cover.

Su Yang squeezed through the wall of people like lightning, and chased after him like a cat catching a mouse, resolutely refusing to manipulate the Kong family.

Mayo rushed all the way to the right wing and used Wright to cover again, but Harden tacitly switched defenses and delayed.

Su Yang followed closely and joined forces with Harden to form a pincer attack, while Mayo was in a corner and had no way to retreat.

Wright quickly cut inside to open up space, and at the same time raised his hands to signal a pass. Unfortunately, Mayo tried to get rid of it forcefully, and was waving his elbows indiscriminately to seek space. He didn't think about passing the ball at all, and desperately wanted to prove himself.

In the chaos, Harden slapped the basketball away quickly, and Su Yang picked it up and rushed forward.

Mayo chased at full speed, the two arrived on the left wing of the front court, and other players were also in place.

Su Yang observed for a moment, raised his hand and passed the ball to Harden at 45°, striding towards the baseline.

Mayo continued to chase, Su Yang stopped and ran back, and at the same time stuck his back, but before he could reach out for a pass back, Coleman shouted in the long version, "Listen to my command, give the ball to the point guard, it must be executed Tactics, don't mess around...'

Harden was stunned for a moment, ignoring Coleman's call, aiming directly at the right elbow, bending over and hitting the ground to pass the ball.

Coleman was dumbfounded on the spot, but Su Yang easily picked it up, and the one-on-one situation was formed again.

Perhaps because of the previous loss, Mayo did not use his strength to carry it hard, but carefully stared at the knees and squatted.

Su Yang didn't hesitate, pulled the ball sideways and retreated, and skillfully leaned back in the air to make a mid-range shot.

It was too late for Mayo to dive, so he could only turn his head to observe, watching the basketball hollow into the net.

Cheers resounded throughout the arena, Hickson picked up the basketball and grabbed the serve, Flynn caught the ball and ran wildly, and the red team made a fast break.

Su Yang and Harden chased wildly, the rest of the white team reacted a little slower, and the two defended two and three in the frontcourt.

The marshal waved his hand, and the red team's basketball shifted to the left. Su Yang faced Flynn and Mayo alone.

Formal crisis, Su Yang retreated continuously, keeping a close eye on the basketball movement, but did not give room for breakthrough.

In the blink of an eye, the three came to the left wing area, and Flynn pretended to combine the ball to shoot, but actually hit the ground and passed the ball.

Su Yang's center of gravity was deceived, and he was powerless to defend normally, so he tried to steal from the ground in desperation.

He jumped at the basketball like a flying fish into the water, but unfortunately he touched a little basketball and slowed down slightly.

The fans on the sidelines sighed regretfully, but Su Yang did not give up. Instead, he crawled forward with both hands and feet like Wade did against the Spurs in the finals, and finally caught the basketball at Mayo's feet, and then pushed hard. Push the ball down the middle.

Harden picked up the basketball and rushed forward, Mayo chased after him, and the cheers on the scene exploded like thunder.

Su Yang climbed up with his hands on the ground and followed all the way to the top of the frontcourt, just in time to see Harden double-teamed.

"The top of the arc, the top of the arc!" Su Yang hurriedly shouted to remind him, and Harden turned around and passed the ball in the next second.

Su Yang catches the ball and strides forward, one step to the free throw line. Seeing that Mayo is trying to block it, he immediately takes two more strides, then kicks off the ground and jumps, holding the basketball high with his right hand, as if he was about to hit the last ball of his career, desperately Smashing baskets and buckles.

With a bang, the basketball blasted into the net, Mayo was also knocked into the air by Su Yang, and the referee whistled to give an additional penalty.

MVP shouts sounded in the arena, and Ernie shouted: "Unbelievable, Su Yang dunked OJ Mayo!"

Barkley said with a serious face: "I know that Su Yang has excellent skills and he trains very hard, but I never thought that he would have such a desire to win that he could kneel and crawl for the ball in this kind of competition."

"I'm convinced!" Kenny raised his hands in surrender. "Even if the white team loses this game, Su Yang is [-]% qualified as the No. [-] high school student in the United States. His personal skills, leadership skills, and spiritual will are all at the top level."
