NBA: Best point guard

The cavalry's next opponent is the Derby brothers in Virginia - the University of Virginia Mountaineers.

The whole team clenched their fists, ready to do a good job in the next game.

Do it, do it for real!

"Brothers, you have to win the game, and you have to win the fight! If you want to do it, do it for me. If something goes wrong, I will blame it!" On the bus, coach Ben Anzuo raised his arms and shouted.

"Brothers, be tougher! This is a battle between life and death!"

Immediately, the players were gearing up, and everyone understood the purpose of the trip, which was to fight and bring a ball.

Zhao Peng can still vividly remember what happened half a month ago...

It was originally a game between the Mountaineers and the Cavalry at home that day, but while the team bus was moving, some extreme fans of the home team smashed the glass of the Cavalry with stones.

A stone flew right in front of Zhao Peng's nose, but luckily there was no danger.

But the team point guard Xiaode was not so lucky. A stone hit his forehead directly, and blood flowed instantly.

Then the security personnel were dispatched to control the scene and took away some thugs.

But their bad behavior is intolerable.

Coach Anzuo immediately condemned the behavior of the mountain people, and reprimanded that this is the behavior of the thugs.

His denunciation saw the effect, and finally the NCAA league disqualified the Mountaineers from the home field, and the game was moved to a neutral stadium, Philadelphia's Sun Never Set Stadium.

Although there is no fanatical home audience, the decades-old grievances are still there.

Generally speaking, there are only two extremes in the relationship between the derby teams in the same city, either they are close buddies, or they are sworn enemies.

Obviously, the two enemies of Virginia belonged to the latter type, who wanted to strangle their opponents to death.

Zhao Peng is very clear that the grievances between the two teams have been going on for decades.

As early as 30 years ago, the Cavalry was the first local team of Virginia Union University to develop and grow. Every year, NCAA games attract tens of thousands of local spectators.

The players of the cavalry team are mainly children of poor families.

The mountain people team that was established later is a real school for local tyrants. Although they were established relatively late, with the help of the school director, the mountain people team recruited troops across the country, and they took the lead in achieving good results. It surpassed the more established cavalry.

Originally, the two teams were not in conflict with each other, but since the relocation of the campus of Virginia Union University, the fir field where they used to play has been taken over by the University of Virginia.

The competition for this fir stadium has also caused many conflicts between the students of the two schools over the years.

And all this anger will be accumulated on the court.

In the last Cavalry game against the Mountaineers at home, the referee gave six technical fouls and expelled 4 players. The intensity was mediocre.

The sharp conflict between the fans of the two teams is actually due to the difference in social class.

In addition to foreign students like Zhao Peng, the cavalry players are mostly local aborigines, and their fans are mainly low-level people.

Most of the fans of the Mountain People are the upper middle class in society. They think that as long as they can win the game, it is the last word.

From a certain level, these two schools can be said to be the strongest derby in the NCAA.

Although the strength of the two schools is not that strong, the smell of gunpowder is indispensable.

Almost every year in the game, there will be bloodshed.

And these two teams are also the only two teams that do not sell away team tickets during the game in order to avoid large-scale riots.

But despite this, Virginia locals still have to mobilize thousands of security personnel to maintain order in the game.

"Book, don't worry! Whether you can win the game is another matter. I guarantee you will lose a few in this game!" The small forward old iron wiped his hands, feeling quite eager to try.

As the team's thug, he never said anything different.

Zhao Peng is very aware of the importance of this game, he can only win, not lose.

Because thousands of Virginia fans are watching the game at the same time.

As the new captain, Zhao Peng was under a lot of pressure, because he knew very well that if this game was a tragic loss, he would not have the face to be the captain of the team anymore.

In the locker room, the players were silent.

Everyone wants to avenge Xiaode and vent their anger for the team's supporters, but to be honest, the team is more nervous now!

Because of this match, the media's attention had been drawn beforehand, and the trash talk from both sides had already been spoken out in advance.

The captain of the Mountaineers, the 2-meter-tall black power forward Tom Brucha, uttered nonsense before the game. He claimed that he would let the Cavalry soldiers return to Virginia sideways.

"Victory will eventually belong to the cavalry!" As the newly promoted captain, Zhao Peng also gave such a response.

The battle was about to break out, but the players in the locker room didn't say a word.

Although the strength of the Cavalry team is not good, and the paper strength gap with the Mountaineers has become wider and wider in recent years, every time they meet with them, they can play evenly.

Although there has been no victory for several years in a row, the game process has come and gone.

The current pressure is on the young people of this year. They have no experience in such competitions. It is impossible to say that they have no thoughts in their hearts.

Everyone lowered their heads in silence, trying to ease their inner tension.

And Zhao Peng, who keenly captured the psychological changes of the players, clapped his hands and said:

"Guys, we're working together for the first time on this field! We stand here today, our hearts are together! We're marching to victory, join me in shouting, cavalry, cut the fuck!"

cut the fuck...

This slogan is so simple and rude, but it is easy to use. It really is the simplest bad breath and the most extreme enjoyment.

Hearing Zhao Peng's slogan, even if the young players had any other emotions, they all disappeared in an instant.

"Yes, let's cut his mother's head together!" Big Ben was the first to agree.

"Okay, I've been annoyed by those old fuckers for a long time, cut the fuck!" Lao Tie waved his iron fist.

"Okay, okay, this slogan is really resounding! Let them pay with blood!" Xiaode clapped his big hands desperately, and he planned to settle new and old scores with those guys from the Mountaineers.

After some encouragement, the game officially began.

Although this game was just a pecking match between the second-tier leagues, it also received a lot of attention.

ESPN Channel [-] sent reporters to broadcast the game live.

When the live broadcast screen was scanned on the field, Cavalry fans felt a little shocked, because the opponent's height was 5 centimeters higher than their average height.

On the basketball court, the value of height for rebounding and inside defense is self-evident.

Soon, the starting rosters of both sides were finalized.

Cavalry--

中锋：大本，身高2米03；大前锋：大黑龙，身高2米05；小前锋：老铁，身高1米98

; Shooting guard: Zhao Peng, 1 meters tall; Point guard: Xiaode, 93 meters tall

The Mountaineers --

中锋：鲁斯，身高2米10；大前锋：汤姆-布卢查，身高2米08；小前锋：查尔斯-帕利森，身高2米03；得分后卫：丹尼斯-莱特，身高1米96；控球后卫：大卫-普鲁德，身高1米90

With such a comparison of the heights of the two sides, the sense of oppression came instantly.

The momentum of the Mountaineers this year is very strong. They are almost about to enter the first-level league. In addition, this game is their home game, so as soon as the players from both sides walked into the field, the stadium began to hustle and bustle. .

"Russ, crush those brats!"

"It doesn't matter how much the game wins, let the cowards of the Cavalry go back to Virginia!"

"The nobles in the rich area support you, beat them up hard, and we will pay for your medical expenses!"

"Fuck 'em guys! Get the Cavaliers off the NCAA roster!"

The Mountainers trash fans in the auditorium shouted violent trash talk. Although the security personnel urged them to calm down, the effect was very limited.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially begins!

Mountainers center Ruth won the jumper first.

The first ball attack was initiated by the Mountaineers, and their offensive thinking was very clear, that is to crush inside!

Each of them has an advantage in height, so they chose to hold high and fight high.

Mountainers center Ruth, who is 2 meters tall, is almost standing under the basket. He is facing the cavalry team's stocky rebounder Big Ben.

The difference in height between the two was nearly 10 centimeters, which made Cavalry fans nervous for a while.

But just when Ruth was about to get up to make a hook shot, Big Ben pulled out his long arm.

Basketball was stolen!

"Good job, Benzi!" Zhao Peng shouted vigorously, this ball boosted morale too much.

Big Ben's heart is also very excited!

This set of tactics has been practiced by the team for a long time, and today the cavalry will play at a fast pace.

After Daben steals the ball, the two defenders Zhao Peng and Xiaode rushed forward at high speed.

Zhao Peng's speed was indeed faster. He ran to a position near the free throw line, and Da Ben's long pass arrived shortly thereafter.

At this time, Tom Blucha, the power forward of the Mountain Rangers, was also chasing after him. He was almost on par with Zhao Peng.

This guy is 2 meters tall, covering the clouds and avoiding the sun in front of his eyes. Coach An Zuo sat on the coach chair and sweated for Zhao Peng.

But in the next second, Zhao Peng slammed on the brakes, and then without thinking about it, he just pulled the ball and shot angrily!

Whoosh!

The basketball flew out softly with graceful curves, and hit the bullseye two seconds later!

This sound is like water drops falling into the sea, it is wonderful!

The fans of the Cavalry team at the stadium erupted into a tsunami of applause.

An Zuo was very excited!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Peng's ability to shoot as soon as he catches the ball is so good, and his mid-range shot is so confident and steady.

With their height difference, even if they hesitate a little, they will be blocked!

Anyway, Zhao Peng did it, and the cavalry got off to a good start!

The Mountaineers organize the offense and they're good at controlling the tempo.
