Nie Chuan and his teammates returned to Coach Gordon.

"Everyone did a great job." Coach Gordon clapped his hands. "In the next quarter, Carlo, you have to continue to hold back Raven and ensure enough time for Nie Chuan to cut in."

"Yes, I understand!" Carlo nodded vigorously, but deep down he felt that he was not doing so well.

Raven broke through Carlo's defense again and again, which made Carlo feel that if his reaction could be quicker and his defense could be tighter, perhaps the score would not be pulled to double digits.

"Ewing, you've spent a lot of time on ball handling exercises recently. I hope your advantages in this area can be demonstrated. You're not just a mechanical shooter who can only shoot from the three-point line. Get your legs moving!"

"Yes, coach!" Ewing replied.

"And Montenegro, the opponent's center is very strong. I want you to nail him! Can you do it?"

"certainly!"

Chuck lowered his head. He was the least noticeable person on the court.

Coach Gordon put his hands on Chuck's shoulders and said seriously, "Chuck, I need you to look up and look me in the eyes!"

Chuck swallowed his saliva, raised his head, and looked at Coach Gordon with difficulty: "Coach..."

"Nie Chuan trusts you very much. Like me, he believes that you are the most capable point guard. And your performance in the last quarter was really good."

"Coach...I..." Chuck's voice trembled.

"Your off-ball movement is excellent. If you hadn't successfully intercepted the opponent's point guard and point guard, buying time for your teammates, DK wouldn't have been able to score so many points. When the second half of the game starts, I want you to keep up this momentum and block the opponent's point guard."

Chuck clenched his fists. "I understand!"

KSU's point guard level is first-class in the league, and it is not easy for Chuck to achieve this level. He runs actively and defends very closely. Nie Chuan has consumed a lot of energy in the competition with Raven and Ashley, but Chuck has held on until now.

"Reese, do you have anything to say to Nie Chuan?" Coach Gordon glanced in Reese's direction.

Nie Chuan's heart seemed to be pulled. In fact, he had been expecting Reese to say something to him.

But he was obviously inferior to Raven, and Nie Chuan suddenly didn't know how to face Reese.

Reese simply extended his hand slightly in the direction of Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan seemed to be drawn, walked over, and touched Reese's palm. Reese's fingers slowly inserted into the gaps between Nie Chuan's fingers. His eyes were very focused, as if nothing existed in this world except Nie Chuan.

"Xiaochuan, if you forget your own style, you will really be conquered by Raven."

Like an icy splinter falling into boiling water.

"My style..." Nie Chuan frowned.

"Speed ​​and explosiveness are indeed the key points of the competition under the basket, but your strengths are also what many small forwards do not have."

"Are you the one who's controlling the ball?" Nie Chuan tilted his head.

"I mean Nie Chuan's rhythm." Reese tapped Nie Chuan's brow with his finger. "Speed ​​doesn't determine everything, but when you want to accelerate, you start faster than anyone else, and when you stop, you take less time than anyone else. This is your strength."

Nie Chuan closed his eyes and kept replaying the first half of the game in his mind.

Including how Raven and Ashley connected the two points to constrain their own actions.

Everything became clear.

Raven's steps, even his stride length and the distance of his jump and dunk were all like frames reflected in Nie Chuan's mind.

Ben at the top of the stands was a little impatient: "Ah, I really hope Nie Chuan can give Riven a hard time! I don't know why, but watching Riven block Nie Chuan's hot pot three times in a row makes me feel very unhappy!"

"Is it because last season, Raven blocked three of your three-pointers in a row?" Seton asked with a smile.

"Huh!" Ben turned his head away. "He just blocked three of my three-point shots. I scored 27 points in that game!"

"Isn't it because of the chance I gave you?"

"cut!"

"Nie Chuan's scoring ability has been restricted by the cooperation of Riven and Ashley. Ashley is responsible for blocking Nie Chuan's cut-in, while Riven is like a mountain blocking the basket. This is a cage. If you want to use brute force to break the cage open, you will only get half the result with twice the effort, and it will also consume a lot of physical strength." Seton said.

"So we have to crawl out through the gap in the cage?" Ben winked.

"No, never put yourself in a cage."

The halftime break was about to end, and Reese let go of Nie Chuan's hand.

"Go ahead, whether you run or stop, whether you score a layup or a long shot, I'll be watching you."

Reese half raised his head, and Nie Chuan finally understood what Reese meant by "there are thousands of troops in his eyes".

Nie Chuan didn't say anything like "I'm leaving" to him, but turned around.

The players walked onto the field and the game began again.

The KSU point guard rushed towards Chuck with the ball. He thought he could easily get rid of Chuck, but he didn't expect Chuck's defense to be very patient and his speed was slowed down.

"Pass the ball--" Ashley passed by his teammates, and the point guard passed the ball from under Chuck's armpit, which was quite unexpected.

But this ball was caught by Nie Chuan, who suddenly turned around and rushed towards KSU's basket.

The audience stretched their necks. They had not expected that Nie Chuan, who had failed three consecutive layups in the previous quarter, was not discouraged at all. Instead, he seemed calmer than before.

Raven sped up and ran parallel to Nie Chuan. Nie Chuan suddenly sped up and Raven followed up to not give him a chance to break through. The tense scene made the audience hold their breath and stare.

At the moment when Nie Chuan broke through, he suddenly pressed down his knees to stop his steps, changed direction to the same side and broke through Riven.

The whole process takes only the blink of an eye.

At the moment Riven turned around, Nie Chuan jumped and shot. His shot was very fast but his hand was very steady.

Riven was a step too late in his jump, and Nie Chuan had already narrowed the score difference between the two teams to single digits.

"He seems to have finally found his rhythm." Larven, who had been worried about Nie Chuan, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This goal boosted DK's morale, and Riven was determined to suppress this trend.

He dribbled the ball himself, intending to break through Carlo's defense at an extremely fast speed, but Carlo rushed forward and blocked Raven's left side. In order to pursue speed, Raven passed the ball to Ashley on the right. Ashley was guarded by Nie Chuan and had no chance to score at all.

In order to prevent Nie Chuan from stealing the ball, Ashley passed the ball to the point guard. The point guard dribbled past Ewing and rushed to the basket. He was about to score, but Chuck unexpectedly jumped up and blocked the opponent with courage from nowhere.

At the moment the ball bounced, Ashley and Nie Chuan rushed forward to fight for it. Ashley grabbed the ball one step ahead of Nie Chuan, but at the moment he turned around, Nie Chuan lifted the ball from below and knocked Ashley's ball away.

Carlo received the ball and passed it to Ewing, but Ewing faced double control from the opponent's point guard and point guard.

Ewing jumped and the point guard raised his hand to block him. Ewing took the ball back, took a half step back and made a shooting gesture again. At this time, the point guard and the shooting guard wanted to stop him, but Ewing suddenly sped up, shook his shoulders, passed from the other side of the shooting guard, and passed the ball to Chuck.

Everyone thought Chuck was going to pass the ball to Montenegro who had already reached the basket, but unexpectedly Chuck passed the ball back to Ewing. At this time, KSU's point guard and shooting guard had their backs to Ewing, and Ewing took a direct shot and scored.

"It seems that DK's cooperation is getting better and better! Ewing's two fake moves just now really impressed me!" Robert applauded.

"Indeed, my impression of Ewing has always been that he is a three-point shooting machine. The machine seems accurate, but the situation on the court is changing, and there are always too many factors that interfere with this accuracy. Today I saw Ewing's mobile side!"

Raven's eyes turned cold, and just when Chuck was about to launch the next attack with the ball, Raven swiped the ball away and DK returned to defense.

But Raven was determined to get the ball. He rushed to the basket and jumped up with unstoppable force.

Carlo and Montenegro jumped up to block, almost blocking all gaps.

At that moment, Raven took the ball back and sent it again between the arms of Carlo and Montenegro. His body went from tense to stretched again, with a pleasing sense of strength.

When everyone was immersed in the power of this pull-up layup, a figure jumped up from behind Carlo and Montenegro, and arrived first, and at the moment when the ball was about to be dunked, he blocked it hard and knocked it down!

There was an exclamation in the basketball hall.

Only then did Ruiwen realize that it was Nie Chuan who blocked him.

When Chuck took the ball and passed Ashley under Ewing's cover, Nie Chuan finally realized: Oh my god! I actually blocked Raven Harvey!

Reese's eyebrows slowly raised and his lips curved into an arc.

"I rarely see you smile," Coach Gordon said.

"Once he finds the feeling, who can stop him?" Reese asked.

Coach Gordon smiled.

And at this moment, the KSU coach used his power to pause.

Commentator Engelly understood this timeout very well: "If I were the coach of KSU, I would also have to adjust the team's status before DK fully grasped the situation."

"DK's coordination is getting better and better, and Nie Chuan actually blocked Riven's layup. Do you think this is a coincidence or strength?"

Espenson asked curiously.

"There are no coincidences on the court. Without enough jumping ability and speed, even if God gave him more chances, he would not be able to stop this ball," Robert said with a smile.
