Nie Chuan pursed his lips and smiled.

After the usual afternoon training, the doctor examined Reese's ankle very carefully.

In addition to Nie Chuan, Coach Gordon was also present.

Nie Chuan could feel Coach Gordon's nervousness in his eyes.

If Reese's ankle cannot recover, it is unknown whether DK can create a miracle like in the last game against CBU.

The doctor nodded and said, "He can participate in the competition in three days."

Coach Gordon closed his eyes and exhaled.

To be honest, facing a CBU team full of experts, Reese's return will make the whole team more excited. DK's offense will be more powerful.

Nie Chuan hugged Reese's shoulders excitedly: "Great! We can play together!"

Reese raised his hand and patted Nie Chuan on the back without any extra expression. In his heart, his recovery was something that was expected.

After leaving the hospital, Coach Gordon told the whole team the news that Reese had recovered. Nie Chuan could imagine how Ewing and the others cheered.

Just like Coach Gordon said, they are getting closer and closer to the top. The closer they are, the harder it will be, and they must go out with the most perfect lineup.

After leaving the hospital, Reese hooked Nie Chuan's collar and said, "Coach, I'll take Nie Chuan to watch the match between CBU and JGU."

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Coach Gordon also wanted to feel CBU's current condition.

When they arrived at the gymnasium, the game between CBU and JGU had already started for eight minutes. The venue was packed with CBU fans, and the red and white school flags were passing and fluttering in the audience like waves. The score on the screen was 24 to 12, with CBU leading by a large margin.

As long as the game has not reached the last moment, jgu has the possibility of turning the tables at any time.

DK had already booked tickets for this match, and when they found a seat and sat down, Nie Chuan immediately heard the discussions of the audience around him.

"Look, that's DK's Reese Reddington and Nie Chuan! Nie Chuan was so handsome in the last game! I heard that he and Reese are a very tacit partner!"

"If CBU wins today, then they will have to compete with DK for the right to the finals?"

"Oh my god, I wonder if Reese Reddington's ankle is healed!"

Reese's face was expressionless, he just stared at the court intently.

Nie Chuan also focused his mind.

He always remembered the last time DK and CBU practiced, the speed and flexibility of point guard Wright, the strength of power forward Thomas in the basket, and Owen Whishaw, who played as a shooting guard but often also performed the scoring function of a small forward.

At this moment, Owen got the ball, he turned sideways, the ball was behind him, but his face was facing the three players defending him.

Nie Chuan couldn't help but be surprised that Jgu could mobilize three people to defend Ou En. It seemed that Ou En today could let Nie Chuan see his true level.

Any good ball handler has the ability to dribble in a seemingly rhythmic manner but can speed up or slow down at any time, and the same is true for Owen.

Owen dribbled the ball towards one of his opponents, who immediately came up to defend him. However, his defense helped Owen block the other two opponents. Owen shook his shoulders and passed through neatly. When the opponent's center came to intercept him, Owen did not hesitate to shoot directly.

The opponent's arm passed by Owen's ball, and Nie Chuan broke out in a cold sweat, but Owen's expression clearly showed that he was confident of winning.

The ball went into the basket calmly, surrounded by the audience's wild cheers.

Nie Chuan exhaled.

Owen was like a racing driver on the court, running at a crazy speed, turning sharply as if he was about to lose sight, and stopping unexpectedly. Jgu was controlled by Owen amid applause.

Not only that, the amazing explosiveness of small forward Thomas under the basket allows Owen to score from mid-range and long distances with confidence.

Point guard Wright continued to create scoring opportunities for Owen.

The scoring triangle formed by only Owen, Wright and Thomas was already a headache for DK, and CBU's small forward and center also had extraordinary levels.

The small forward has a fast cutting speed and is good at seizing opportunities. Maybe he is not as sharp as Reese, but at first glance it seems that good luck is on his side. However, a careful analysis will show that this guy has a strong ability to move without the ball, and his absolutely first-class jumping ability in the league makes it difficult to defend this guy.

The center also has solid strength. Once he receives the pass from Owen or Wright under the basket, this guy can basically score, completely suppressing JGU's rebounding ability.

What worries Nie Chuan the most is that the speed of the entire CBU is at the level of Raven and Ashley.

He almost collapsed while trying to get rid of Ashley and chase Riven. Now facing the CBU running at full speed, Nie Chuan felt enormous pressure.

CBU is also very good at changing the rhythm of the game, from tight fast breaks to passing the ball from under the basket back to the three-point line and then from the three-point line back to the inside, with a good balance of relaxation and tension. On the contrary, JGU was made to run all over the court.

In the past, Nie Chuan directly classified Owen as a sharp predator like Reese, but at this moment he realized that he didn't know Owen well enough.

He can layup aggressively or make long shots with ease, which puts his defenders under great pressure. It is impossible to predict whether Owen is going to score or dribble past the defense.

For example, at this moment, Owen forced himself to jump despite the tight defense of the opponent's center. Everyone thought he was going to shoot, but Owen took the ball back and swung his body sharply, as if he was going to fall. However, he pulled his center of gravity back and turned around flexibly. The basketball always bounced on his toes. He successfully avoided his opponent, accelerated instantly, rushed into the basket in one go, and jumped to dunk!

The opponent's power forward jumped up. There was no weak team in the team that could enter the quarterfinals. The height of the jump made Nie Chuan stretch his neck.

But Owen was able to retrieve the ball and then hook it in from the side of the opponent's arm with his fingertips!

His waist and abdomen exposed under the hem of his T-shirt were extremely powerful. Nie Chuan could imagine how deafening the sound would be if it was a dunk.

At the end of this quarter, CBU has widened the score gap to 22 points, which will be a heavy pressure for JGU.

When Ou En looked up to drink water, he clearly saw Nie Chuan on the stage.

He did not move his eyes away, but kept looking at Nie Chuan.

As if he was a targeted prey, Nie Chuan felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.

He thought he was no longer afraid of Owen, and would no longer hiccup when scared by his opponent's basketball. But at this moment, Nie Chuan had the illusion that his throat was being strangled by the opponent.

The game started again, and Owen was even more unstoppable. He used his best European step to dribble past two people and turned around to dunk.

As for this kind of exaggerated footwork, Nie Chuan learned it from Ou En.

Nie Chuan's European step is flexible and varied. Because Nie Chuan is good at controlling his center of gravity, the amplitude of his swing is unexpectedly exaggerated.

But Owen's European step brings out the control of rhythm to the fullest.

Accelerating when turning and stopping suddenly when turning sideways will make it impossible for the opponent to adapt.

The biggest difference between him and Nie Chuan is that Ouen's movements are full of power. When he holds the ball and raises his elbow, it's as if he wants to knock the opponent over. But Nie Chuan knows very well that Ouen will not let himself hit anyone. But this sense of power can always deter opponents who come to defend.

When Owen cut into the basket again and scored with the small forward, Nie Chuan frowned.

This small forward was not the one who had practiced with DK before, but a newcomer who joined CBU this year, and even joined the university basketball team later than Nie Chuan. But in the middle school basketball world, this guy is already very famous.

Owen and CBU's small forwards can cut into the basket from both sides at the same time, which puts tremendous defensive pressure on JGU.

With five minutes left in the game, the jgu players were extremely tired.

This kind of exhaustion was completely different from the exhaustion Nie Chuan felt when facing Riven. Nie Chuan knew the direction of his efforts, but Jgu was completely lost.

Owen had taken away their confidence.

Just like when he intimidated Nie Chuan in the practice match.

The final score of the game was that CBU led JGU by 32 points. This score was unexpected, after all, JGU was also a strong seeded team, and its strength last year was comparable to that of CBU. But the 32-point gap was reasonable, because JGU did not have a trump card player like Owen Whishaw.

Reese patted Nie Chuan on the shoulder and motioned for him to stand up.

When Nie Chuan left, he took one last look at the court. Ou En was smiling at him and shaking his finger at him.

Owen's teammate Wright came to his side and said speechlessly: "I find that you particularly like to provoke Nie Chuan."

"Because he grows so fast, I always want to uproot him."

"But if that happens, you'll find life boring again." Wright spread his hands. "But I don't have the confidence to face DK. Nie Chuan is no longer the rookie who could be fooled by you when we were practicing. He is no longer a guy that I or Thomas can easily let go of. I have a feeling that in the next game, he and Reese will be able to form a double-edged sword to cut into our basket. We will be hard to defend against."

Owen smiled noncommittally and said, "Let's go."

As soon as they walked out of the stadium, Nie Chuan and Reese were surrounded by fans. There were even two unknown sports reporters who came up to ask them how confident they were in the match against CBU.
