Owen walked to the center of the court while flexing his wrist. He turned around and said to Nie Chuan, "Today, I will play the role of Ben Robbins, and Larver will try his best to imitate Seton Lind's attack and ball control methods. Of course, I am very confident in my long-range shooting skills, but it is hard to say how much of Seton Lind's ability Larver can show."

Larven punched Owen's shoulder with a fake smile: "How much tacit understanding there is between you and me is also a question! I beg you not to be too individualistic, otherwise with the tacit understanding between Nie Chuan and Reese, it won't be a problem to kill us in seconds."

Owen glanced at Reese, not sure if he was joking or serious when he said, "Reese, you are really lucky. If it weren't for Nie Chuan's joining, I never thought you would have a chance to beat Seton."

Reese raised his chin: "Not everyone can partner with Nie Chuan."

Larven put his arm around Nie Chuan's shoulder speechlessly and looked at the two men: "Nie Chuan, why do I feel like they are going to have a fight?"

Nie Chuan also nodded speechlessly and said: "The most important thing is... I have no idea what the reason is!"

A few seconds later, Owen bent down, picked up the basketball, and raised his chin towards Larven: "Let's start!"

Owen passed the ball to Larven, who quickly rushed to Nie Chuan with a serious look on his face. The moment he looked into Larven's eyes, Nie Chuan felt tremendous pressure.

At that moment, Larven leaned to the left side of Nie Chuan, intending to break through.

Nie Chuan reacted quickly by stepping forward to block the direction of LaVine's cut-in, but LaVine quickly adjusted his center of gravity and changed direction on the same side, with the ball in the opposite direction of Nie Chuan. This is the standard dribbling method of Seton, dribbling in the opposite direction of the cut-in direction. The dribbling method that seems to slow down the offense seems natural because of the high coordination ability of the ball handler, creating a blind spot for the defender.

LaVine turned and passed Nie Chuan, and was intercepted by Reese during the layup. Reese's shot was very fast, and LaVine turned sideways to protect the ball and passed it to Owen who came over.

Owen held the ball and Nie Chuan rushed to defend, but there was no interference from other teammates at this distance, so Owen jumped up and scored without any preparation!

Nie Chuan exhaled a breath. An extremely high-level point guard plus a shooter who could shoot in the midfield without any preparation was simply a nightmare.

Next, Nie Chuan was exhausted. It was not that he could not stop Larven. In a one-on-one match, it was still unclear who would win. But Owen was there. Once the ball was passed, it was basically Owen who scored! It was not until Reese and Nie Chuan double-defended Larven that this trend was finally curbed.

But Nie Chuan knew very well that Azu had more than just Seton and Ben. Their small forward Bracey, power forward Edgar and center The Rock were all masters who were not easy to deal with. If Nie Chuan and Reese had to guard together to suppress Seton, DK would be finished.

At this time, Owen suddenly raised his hand and called "pause".

"What's wrong?" Nie Chuan asked.

"Larven and I are not here to show off our presence, but to expose to you in advance the problems you may encounter when confronting Azu. Now the first problem is already obvious." Owen looked at Reese with a very serious expression, "I think you have something to say to Nie Chuan too?"

Nie Chuan looked in the direction of Reese. He was very aware that he was at a loss, but Reese was much calmer.

"Nie Chuan, although you have a speed that is not inferior to Seton's, you are wasting it." There was no blame in Reese's voice, but it made Nie Chuan feel pressured.

"What?"

"When you're attacking, there's no doubt that your goal is the ball in your hand. But when you're defending, do you know what your goal is? Is it to keep an eye on the ball or the person?"

Reese's words made Nie Chuan suddenly enlightened.

He kept chasing the ball, and whenever Larvin passed the ball to Owen, he turned to defend Owen, but there were too many variables during this period. Owen could pass the ball back to Larvin, or he could shoot quickly. No matter which choice, Nie Chuan was a step late.

"Hey, do you understand?" Larven stepped forward and put his hand on Nie Chuan's shoulder. "To deal with the combination of Seton and Ben, you must be targeted. Just keep an eye on one of them, and leave the rest to Reese and the other people on the team. Your positioning and your judgment of the situation are far more meaningful than blindly following the ball and wasting your energy throughout the game."

Nie Chuan nodded. He wanted to keep an eye on Seton, played by Larven, so much that he let himself fall into this vortex.

"Okay, let's continue! Nie Chuan, you have more than just these skills in the match against our CBU." Ou En clapped his hands.

The practice continued, LaVine dribbled the ball to the basket, and Nie Chuan and Reese defended him.

Larven kept changing directions and using fake moves, but Nie Chuan and Reese blocked him tightly.

Time passed little by little, and the countdown for holding the ball began. Reese lowered his center of gravity, and Nie Chuan understood and forced Lavin to Reese's direction. Reese successfully stole the ball and turned to jump to score. Owen rushed over and competed with Reese. Nie Chuan blocked Lavin who came to meet the ball outside the favorable area, and Reese turned around and dunked under the basket, winning the game.

The cooperation on this ball was praised by Owen and Larven.

But that alone is not enough.

Nie Chuan defended Owen several times but was unable to stop his shooting. After two or three times, Owen had to call a timeout again.

Owen glanced at Reese directly: "I know Nie Chuan is your little baby..."

"Huh? Who's whose baby?" Larven interrupted Owen.

"I'm not Reese's...'little darling'..." Nie Chuan also spoke up immediately, although his voice became smaller and smaller.

But Ou En continued without caring: "But I need to make this clear to Nie Chuan in person."

Reese nodded.

Owen grabbed Nie Chuan by the back of his collar and said, "When you play against CBU, when I start to shoot, besides you, there will be Carlo or Reese to interfere with me, and I can't get to the best shooting position as easily as I do now, so my shooting speed is not as fast as it is now. But Ben Robbins is best at running, his ball control ability is not weak, and Seton can always skillfully attract the opponent defending Ben Robbins."

Nie Chuan thought back to the match between UFR and Azu. After Owen's reminder, he found that it was indeed the case.

"Once Ben Robbins pushes the ball over his forehead, it's almost unnecessary for you to defend him. You have to stop him before he shoots. Before he shoots, I mean before Ben Robbins jumps with the ball and shoots! This is the final bottom line, do you understand? Nie Chuan."

Nie Chuan looked into Ou En's eyes. Maybe he had played many not-so-funny jokes on Nie Chuan before, but this time he was absolutely serious and direct.

"I see."

"very good."

They practiced for a whole day, and Owen and Larven simulated various situations for Nie Chuan and Reese. Although the result of the practice was that Nie Chuan continued to adapt to the situation, he also had deep worries in his heart.

Firstly, Ben Robbins and Seton have a better tacit understanding of cooperation, and Ben is more mobile. Secondly, in a real game, they will not give Nie Chuan time to adapt.

In the evening, Reese and Nie Chuan treated Larven and Owen to a big meal at the hot pot restaurant that Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin often went to. Larven's mouth was red from the spicy food, but he didn't stop eating. Owen raised his Coke and held the cup with Nie Chuan, which made Nie Chuan flattered.

"Hey, little guy, if Reese wasn't here, would you come if I asked you to come to CBU?" Owen supported his chin with his other hand, and the steam from the hot pot made him look very gentle.

This reminded Nie Chuan of the first time he met Owen.

His smile was gentle, but his eyes revealed the oppressive feeling of a hunter, which made Nie Chuan inexplicably want to keep a distance from him.

As soon as Nie Chuan opened his mouth to speak, Reese scooped up a meatball with a ladle and put it in Nie Chuan's bowl.

For some reason, Nie Chuan always felt that Reese was warning him about something.

"Ah? Going to CBU? I'm afraid I won't pass the interview!" Nie Chuan touched his head, "And if I go to CBU and squeeze out Wright's position, Wright will kill me, right?"

Owen smiled and continued to ask: "If you graduate and join the NBA, will you be my teammate?"

Nie Chuan was stunned, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: if there is a team with Reese as the small forward, Lavine as the power forward, and Owen as the shooting guard, no matter how strong Azu is, he will be killed instantly, right?

Ou En, who was sitting opposite him, noticed that Nie Chuan was in a daze. He put down his Coke and tapped the table with his fingers: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm imagining the most perfect lineup." Nie Chuan smiled with his eyes narrowed.

"How was it?" Larven put down the half-eaten meatball curiously.

Nie Chuan pointed at the three people at the table and said, "Is Seton embarrassed enough?"

Ou En smiled and pointed in Nie Chuan's direction through the air: "You have to count yourself in."

"me?"

"Yes. You are the only guy who can compete with Seton in the point guard position in this year's finals. If you don't count yourself, how can we defeat Azu in seconds?" Owen's lips curled up, as if the so-called "best lineup" really existed.

Nie Chuan knew that Owen would not give a compliment to a person that was not in line with his ability just to encourage him. He really believed that Nie Chuan had the ability comparable to Seton, so he made such an evaluation.

"Thank you." Nie Chuan touched Ou En's Coke can, and the two smiled at each other.

"Hey! Hey!" Larven blinked, "You two don't even need to drink Coke to make it look like love at first sight and clink glasses to make it look like a kiss..."

"Eat your meatballs." Owen glanced at Larven.
