Chapter 126 Breakpoint
Seton moved sideways very sharply and was about to break through Nie Chuan's defense, but Nie Chuan followed closely. His ankles moved very flexibly, but just when he was finally level with Seton, Seton suddenly lowered his body and pulled in another direction. Nie Chuan then stopped abruptly, and the sneakers under his feet made a sharp friction sound with the ground. Seton stretched out his left arm and brought the ball back with his unique rhythm, and Nie Chuan missed it again.
Larven cried out in regret.
However, Nie Chuan did not hesitate. He stretched out his legs and followed closely behind Seton. He had no intention of giving up. It was as if he was chasing Seton with great force, and getting closer and closer. No matter who stood in front of Nie Chuan, Nie Chuan could slide past like flowing water and follow Seton tenaciously until he reached the basket.
The audience held their breath. When Seton raised his hand to shoot, Reese had already rushed to his side and jumped up with Carlo. Seton swung his legs and used the strength of his waist and abdomen to pass the ball to the back!
I've been waiting there for a long time!
Nie Chuan suddenly jumped up, and the ball was less than ten centimeters away from Seton's fingers when Nie Chuan pressed it down from mid-air. Ben rushed up with a surprised expression, but unfortunately he was a step too late. The moment Nie Chuan landed, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Azu's basket.
Seton stared at Nie Chuan's back. His side pass was an impromptu performance and completely unexpected, but Nie Chuan intercepted it!
Reese had already run past Seton and went to support Nie Chuan.
There was nothing in Nie Chuan's mind. He ran at full speed. Edgar rushed over from the side and formed a double team with Bracey to attack Nie Chuan.
"You wish!" Carlo stood in front of Edgar. Edgar tried to trick Carlo with a fake move, but Carlo held on tightly.
Carlo had only one belief at this time, that was that he could not let Edgar and Bracey join forces again!
If there was only one person, Nie Chuan could easily pass with his ball control ability, but if there were two people, Nie Chuan would be caught up by Seton!
Carlo's defense made Edgar grit his teeth but he could do nothing.
"I never realized before that DK's power forward Carlo's ability to defend is so strong!"
"Yeah, I just know he's pretty good at rebounding!"
Bracey came to intercept Nie Chuan. He appeared very suddenly. Seeing that Nie Chuan was about to hit Bracey, the audience broke into a cold sweat. Bracey looked into Nie Chuan's eyes and suspected that the other party was going to knock him away, because Nie Chuan showed no sign of slowing down. However, Nie Chuan suddenly turned sideways and went around him when he was only half an arm's length away!
There were exclamations everywhere, and even Seton, who was chasing after Nie Chuan, raised his chin with a slightly surprised expression.
The feeling was as thrilling as a comet passing through the Earth's atmosphere.
Nie Chuan's speed remained unchanged. He went straight to the basket and challenged the boulder alone!
Many viewers craned their necks, and even Robert stood up from the commentary booth.
Nie Chuan leaped up, and the boulder jumped up with him. Nie Chuan turned sideways, and was about to use K to push the ball in with his finger.
But Seton also came to his side and jumped up. His jumping ability was amazing, and he was already at the same height as Nie Chuan, trying to knock the ball down.
Nie Chuan's breath was stuck in his throat.
No, you can’t be intercepted by Seton again!
This is not the end!
Nie Chuan used the strength of his waist and abdomen, turned around and pushed the ball that was about to leave his fingers to the other side.
Reese jumped up and received Nie Chuan's pass with his left hand. Bracey jumped up to block him, but Reese passed the ball to his right hand and put it into the basket with one hand!
The whole action was smooth and flowing, as if he had expected Nie Chuan to pass the ball to him!
"Well done!" Robert applauded.
DK's fans cheered loudly.
Mao Xian in the audience nudged Zhou Bin with his elbow: "Although Reese scored, I think Achuan's pass was the coolest!"
Zhou Bin's frown slowly relaxed: "I was worried that Ah Chuan would be devastated by Seton... It seems I was overthinking it."
"I really want to see Achuan intercept Seston!" Maoxian said.
Although the pass was brilliant, the confrontation between Nie Chuan and Seton just now still failed to stop him.
"Nie Chuan is facing the fact that he cannot stop Seton face to face. If he can't do it, don't force yourself to do it. Use your energy on things that can be done well. You can still find another way to make Seton's life difficult." Owen said.
"Yeah, he intercepted the ball that Seton passed to Ben...so if we can't intercept Seton's cut, it would be good to intercept his pass!" Larvin also started excitedly.
Nie Chuan high-fived Reese and he looked at Reese with a big smile on his face.
There was no fluctuation in Reese's eyebrows, but the slightly sunken corners of his lips showed that he was in a good mood at the moment, which made Nie Chuan feel full of energy, and DK kicked off the prelude to a full-scale counterattack.
Seton was in control of the ball and was intercepted by Reese and Nie Chuan from the front and back. This time, Nie Chuan did not stand on the side of Seton as before, but behind him.
Nie Chuan still remembered that when he and Reese double-teamed Seton, it was easy for him to be shaken by his fake moves and collide with each other. And according to Reese's performance in the first half, even if he was alone, he could defend Seton's left and right cuts. Since the cuts could be blocked, Nie Chuan felt that his goal might as well be more pure: steal the ball.
After two shoulder shakes, Seton performed his best move, the "Seton crossover", cutting sideways to the right and instantly pulling back to the left, while the ball was still on the right. He seemed to know that Nie Chuan was waiting for an opportunity behind him, so the amplitude of his movements was much smaller in order to increase the speed of pulling back.
Nie Chuan was extremely focused, and Reese blocked to the other side tacitly, forcing Seton to change direction temporarily, while Nie Chuan quickly left with the ball from the side where Seton changed direction.
Seton immediately chased after him, and Bracey stood in front of Nie Chuan again.
Nie Chuan changed direction and moved the ball from his right hand to his left hand, and was about to pass it to Reese. Seton moved quickly, and he had already caught up with Nie Chuan. He leaned forward and stretched out his arm to steal the ball from Nie Chuan.
"Be careful!" Mao Xian was so excited that he was about to fall off the chair, but fortunately Zhou Bin grabbed him.
But Seton was shaken by Nie Chuan, who changed direction to the same side and took a step back. Seton stopped immediately and stood between Nie Chuan and Reese, cutting off the connection between them. However, Nie Chuan passed the ball directly to the other side, and it was Ewing who received the ball!
"Shoot the ball!" Nie Chuan yelled.
Ewing's heart seemed to be punched. Nie Chuan's eyes were cold, freezing all the chaotic emotions.
Ewing jumped with the ball, Ben ran quickly, and Bracey, who was originally going to defend Nie Chuan, also ran in the direction of Ewing. Carlo only defended Edgar, but fortunately Montenegro blocked Ewing before Bracey.
Ewing's breath was held in his throat. He knew he could choose to pass the ball, but if he passed it, he would lose another chance to score!
Three-pointers are very important for DK!
Ewing made up his mind that he would jump even if it was a cliff!
Just when he was one step away, Ewing jumped up and shot.
It was like a hasty and unprepared shot, making everyone open their eyes wide, and there was only Azu's boulder under the basket! If this ball didn't go in, this one would definitely be Azu's.
Ewing stared at the ball intently, while Montenegro was rushing to the basket in an emergency. With a "crash", the ball went in.
There was applause everywhere. Although this goal was not as good as Owen's midfield shot or Ben's quick shot, it was scored while surrounded by strong enemies.
"This... this is Ewing's fastest shot, right?" said commentator Engley.
"If it's luck, Ewing's shooting posture is very standard. But if it's strength, Ewing's shooting has always been rigid. Compared with the league's sharpshooters Ben Robbins and Owen Whishaw, he lacks the confidence to shoot." Robert narrowed his eyes, "This shot can be regarded as a mixture of luck and strength!"
Ewing didn't expect that he actually shot it in. He slowly clenched his fists and exhaled the breath that was stuck in his throat.
Carlo came over and patted Ewing on the shoulder: "Well done! Your shooting speed is not slower than that Ben!"
As if something flashed through his mind, Ewing suddenly had an impulse.
He remembered the feel, the arc of the ball, the feeling of being on the edge of his seat. He wanted to try it again! He wanted to know if he could still do it!
This goal reduced Azu's lead over DK to 6 points.
But soon, Seton passed the ball to Ben, and the moment Ben received the ball he realized that Nie Chuan was right beside him.
Facing anyone, Ben could shoot at a very fast speed, but he seemed to lose his accuracy in front of Nie Chuan. When the ball was shot, Ben could clearly feel Nie Chuan's fingertips touching his ball, and the ball finally hit the basket and bounced up. The boulder and the black mountain both jumped up at that moment, attracting everyone's attention.
Both of them put their hands on the ball at the same time, but Heishan turned his waist and pressed the ball down with all his strength! Without thinking too much, he quickly passed the ball to Nie Chuan!
Nie Chuan had only taken two steps when he was blocked by Seton.
"What should he do?" Owen clenched his fists.
If he still used the old method, Nie Chuan would only be able to repeat his previous failure.
But Nie Chuan suddenly took a step back, and then cut in directly without any fake moves such as shaking his shoulders or changing directions!
He was extremely fast, and Seton just missed the ball when he leaned sideways to block it. Then he realized that Nie Chuan was retreating to advance, and the closer he was to him, the greater the chance of having the ball intercepted, so he simply retreated!
But this doesn't completely get rid of Seton.
